Bulkeley High School - Class Yearbook (Hartford, CT)

Text from Pages 1 - 148 of the 1951 volume:

PREFACE We, the class of 1951, are privileged to graduate on the Silver Anniver¬ sary of Bulkeley. We look with pride at the excellent record of our school: the achievements and contributions of our teachers, under-graduates, and alumni in various phrases of human endeavor. A brief glance into the future indicates that our class will be confronted by many problems. Our world is a dynamic one, and the atomic age has already introduced a multitude of com¬ plex and serious problems, many of which are international in scope and in¬ tangible in nature. It is our fervent hope that, guided by the ideals and training absorbed at Bulkeley, we shall do our share to overcome whatever difficulties may arise, and that we shall be a credit to our families, our teachers, and our school. In the next few years, our paths will undoubtedly diverge. However, we hope that this Class Book will serve as a link in the bonds which hold us all together. We have attempted to capture the spirit of our class in its various activities: academic, athletic, and social. We sincerely hope that in future years this book will revive the happy memories and friendships of our days at Bulkeley. We take this opportunity to express our appreciation to those teachers and students who have made this yearbook possible: to Mr. McCrann for his wholehearted cooperation; to Miss Potter, our faculty adviser, for her invaluable assistance and encouragement; to Mr. McElney and Miss Salford for their counsel to the Business and Art boards; to the office staff for their generous assistance; to Jo Ida, Art Editor, and her talented staff composed of Robert Manning, Anita Nazaruk, and John Castro, for their very fine sketches; to Nancy Crawford and her competent typing staff — Louise Masaitis, Eloise Skau, Marilyn Ford, Ruth Bail, Elaine Desrocher, Wanda Howaniec, and Athena Dikegoros; to Ignazio Salone for his splendid sports coverage; to the Photography Club for many pictures which have added the personal touch to the book; and finally to the many individuals and groups who have co¬ operated so generously in this, our joint endeavor. Peter Barry, Editor-in-Chief 2 BULKELEY HIGH SCHOOL 1926-1951 We, the class of 1951—” These are proud words. Here we are, actually graduating—thrilled, slightly nervous, and perhaps a trifle nostalgic. It’s hard to realize that these symptoms are not occurring for the first time in the history of education; not even in the history of Bulkeley High School. It all began back in 1926, when Mr. C. Culemo, contractor, dusted his hands and sat back in his desk chair, mentally counting the one and a half million dollars due him for the construction of B. H. S. (Desk carvers, please note.) On September 13 the doors of the big new building at 470 Maple Avenue opened to admit a chattering troop of eager young students burning, we trust, with desire for the knowledge to be dispensed in the shining structure. Those first years must have been exciting, if not a bit hectic, as new organizations and activities popped up like mushrooms. In swift succession came the first football game (Stonington 12, B. H. S. 0), the first Torch , the first Boys’ Club-Girls’ League dance, and the first Dial —but not the first Sno-Frolic, which was not heralded joyously by Bulkeley girls until 1944. Guiding this oversized infant, Bulkeley, through the critical early years was Dr. Gustave A. Feingold, with Mr. Amos C. Hoyt and Dr. Dane A. Dargan as the Vice-Principals. Mr. Hoyt was later transferred to the Board of Education, leaving ’ Dr. Feingold and Dr. Dargan, also acting as the Dean of Girls, to carry on the in¬ creasing activities at Bulkeley. No history of the school would be complete without a tribute to Dr. Feingold, who died in June, 1948, after twenty-two years of devotion to the school. He was widely known as a progressive educa¬ tor with a deep concern for his students’ welfare. Bulkeley will not forget him quickly. Under his guidance, the school developed steadily, becoming well known for its frequent assemblies featuring such speakers t 3 as Vachel Lindsay and Stephen Leacock. The Girls’ League fur¬ nished the club room in 1932, providing the rapidly multiplying school groups with a pleasant meeting place. The class of 1936-A was the last to graduate in January; since that time there has been only one commencement a year, and the strain on the faculty’s long- suffering nerves has probably been lessened considerably. Student government, recently reorganized as the Student Congress, began in 1938. Physical changes also have occurred at Bulkeley: the build¬ ing underwent surgery in 1930 and again in 1940, when the shop wing was added. Even so, there were months when the walls bulged from overcrowding, and rather than install two-decker desks in the classrooms, the school had to resort to double sessions at one time in 1931. Of course, no school can last long without sharing the life of the community. Bulkeley served well as a relief center in the ’36 flood. (The Torch staff distinguished itself at that time by printing an issue, copy by copy, on a small hand press, when the big machine was currentless.) The school contributed money and manpower to the war effort; our first casualty was Ensign Ulmont Whitehead, for whom the Whitehead Highway was named. Our Principal, Mr. Leo M. McCrann, came to Bulkeley shortly before Dr. Feingold’s death. Always friendly to the students and openminded to their suggestions, he has accomplished much for the school, establishing the annual speaking contests and the Grace Garvin Award Assembly. He is ably aided by Dr. Dargan and Mr. Frederick T. Bashour, himself a B. H. S. graduate. Mr. McCrann’s interest in athletics is famous, and during these past few years our football and basketball teams have won many championships. Perhaps school life can’t always be so colorful as the career of Morgan Gardiner Bulkeley, for whom B. H. S. was named, but we who are now graduating wish our school his vigor, hardiness, and energy. There have been many graduating classes before us, and more will follow—but there will never be another Class of 1951, and we hope we’ve left a record which future student historians may mention with pride. Julia L. Howard 4 To ELIZABETH ANN McSHERRY The Class of 1951 affectionately dedicates this Class Boo Because she labored not for herself only but for all those that seek learning. 5 m OUR PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Graduation! It is an ending and a commence¬ ment. It is a time of joy and a time of sorrow. It is a time of joy because you have achieved a goal. It is a time of sorrow because it signifies the end of many happy events and relationships. This important event brings to a close one of the happiest and most memorable periods that youth may experience. It will end carefree school days and formal education for many. It signifies that you are about to commence a new type of life. Members of the Class of 1951 will go their various ways where each will be required to accept new and heavier responsibilities and make adjustments in different surroundings. The faculty at Bulkeley have done their best to prepare you for the life ahead, but we know, and hope you realize, that a high school education does not of itself guarantee a better living; it merely opens the doors to a better life if you are prepared and alert to take advantage of the opportunities as they present themselves. The world conditions which you face are confused, unsettled, and seem to present problems almost in¬ surmountable. The uncertainties of our times are indeed discouraging, but I have hope in the youth of today who, I am certain, will face the problems with courage. Times of adversity are not unknown to the graduate of 1951, who has lived his entire life in a succession of crises. Most of you were born in the middle of a great depression in which financial problems beset nearly all families. Throughout many of your elementary school years the world was aflame in the titanic struggles of World War II. Today the cloud of war hangs heavy, but I am convinced that the youth of today is prepared to defend and sustain the America we love from dangers that are external and internal. I cannot say farewell without mention of my appreciation of the outstanding cooperation and good spirit of the Class of 1951. Your record has been a source of comfort and pride to me and, therefore, it is with regret that I bid you farewell. May God’s blessings be with you in the years that lie ahead. May health and happiness be always yours, and may you always be a source of pride to your parents, your church, and your country. 6 FREDERICK T. BASHOUR, M.A Vice-Principal Robert T.

In a short time we here on the stage shall have con¬ cluded four of the most memorable years of our lives. On such an occasion as this, we cannot help recalling some of the things that have made these eventful years happy ones. How can we forget the gay social events, the tense and exciting athletic contests, the many assemblies and club meetings, and, finally, our struggles to gain our primary objective in high school, an education? To you, our parents, we express our deepest appreciation for the many sacrifices that you have made for us and the opportunities that you have given us. To our Prin¬ cipal, Mr. McCrann, we Express our sincere gratitude for the interest you have taken in our extra-curricular activities as well as in our scholarship. It has made our years in Bulkeley both happy and profitable ones. And to our teachers, who, with patience and understanding, have spent countless hours helping us to solve the frequent problems that we have confronted, we offer our thanks; for you have given us the knowledge that will be our greatest asset in the future years. Tonight, in the midst of the gravest crisis in the history of man, we should like you to forget the worlds problems for a while. On our program representatives of the class, chosen by their classmates because of their ability and talent, will try to give you an idea of both the serious and the bright side of our high school life. They will also give you a glimpse of what their possible futures may be. I am sure that you will enjoy the program that they have prepared for you. Pasquale Joseph Ambrogio CLASS ORATION The pundits of the past have always been profoundly concerned about their rapidly changing social conditions. As far back as 500 B. C., Heraclitus, the weeping philosopher of the Greeks, bemoaned the fact that there was nothing permanent; everything flowed. Now in the twentieth century that same anxiety has become most acute; for now through the hundreds of modem agencies such as the church, the school, the newspaper, radio, and television, the rate of social transformation has been accelerated tremendously—so much so, that many of our contemporaries say that ours is not the world which Moses knew, the world to which the twelve Apostles preached, the world in which our fore¬ fathers established their homes. Indeed, they look upon our world as a tremendous maelstrom, a maelstrom about to engulf and crush us to a soluble pulp. Some allege that fifty years hence the world will no longer be the habitat for the human face. Viewing the present and the future through black lenses, they shudder for themselves and their children. They see only grief and sorrow wrought by man ' s cultured” hand and they cringe under the shadow of the grim figure of Death, who, with an atom bomb in one hand and a hydrogen bomb in the other, seems to be plunging in a jet-propelled plane toward our whirling civilization. Every age has had its sweeping philosophers; however, they contribute but little to world progress. Their pessimism, good for no age, is particularly unsalutary for the rapidly moving world in which we live. We have no time for idle tears. If an ominous cloud hovers above us, we must concentrate our efforts on constructing a shelter in which 74 we can protect ourselves from the threatening downpour; and fortunately, even in this day of priorities and shortages, we have at our command the necessary raw materials which can be readily converted into the strongest kind of citadel. For such a structure, requiring a firm foundation, religion alone can supply the proper base. All of us know some form of God, whether it be a Sun God or Allah or God Almighty. To each one of us, our individual God is omnipotent; and yet for some reason man has failed to carry his problems to his God. But, of course, all too often in life the most obvious solution is given the least consideration. Perhaps among us there are too many who, having forsaken their God, have struck out blindly for themselves. Of that number some have fallen prey to the snares of the isms”, while others have simply transferred their allegiance from God to Mammon. Motivated solely by a desire for personal gain and power, they have bred into the world those grim harbingers of war—jealousy and hatred, which in the beginning separate man from man but eventually separate nation from nation. From our earliest study of history we have learned that a house divided cannot stand. Therefore, we must begin to put our house in order. We can start our task, as religion teaches us, by learning to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. To be sure, individual differences in race, creed, and politics are relatively minor; yet they can and do carve tremendous chasms in the bulwark of our nation. These very chasms are re¬ sponsible, to no small degree, for much of the shadowy gloom that is spreading through¬ out our country—through the entire world. Let us pray, therefore, for a civilization founded upon brotherly love, free from all isms”, greeds, hatreds, and jealousies. A shelter erected upon a foundation of religion—the love of man for his brother — then requires a superstructure of democracy — a democracy conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are cheated equal.” We must rededi¬ cate ourselves to this proposition. We must make our democracy so strong, so effective, so well established upon our faith in God that the world will not only respect our way of living, but will eagerly seek it as the sole means of salvation for the universe. It must become firmly rooted in the hearts and minds of a free world. If such is to be the case, we cannot sit idly by and take for granted our democratic way of living. No, we must use our every ounce of strength to cultivate that precious seedling which our forefathers planted on this soil three hundred-odd years ago. For if we give to it our tender care and devotion, it cannot possibly die. It will grow, bud, flower, and scatter its seeds to fertile soil; eventually it will become the joy of those people who today, bent under the yoke of despotism, merely dream of freedom. Yes, our nation, with its freedoms, its natural wealth, and its strength is envied by every other country in the world. But do we really appreciate the blessings that are ours? Where, other than here in America, can the average man provide his family with a comfortable home, an abundance of nourishing food, and an extended education? Where but here is he granted freedom of speech and of the press, the right to worship as he pleases, the privilege of having a voice derived from our form of government. So that we will not lose them, we must pray to God for protection from the atomic bomb. However, this devastating bomb, created in our effort to destroy ourselves, is not our sole enemy. As a matter o f fact, its horrible effects in time of war would be far less devastating to our country than man’s selfishness and moral and spiritual apathy in time of peace. John Ingari 75 INDIVIDUALITY This is the first time that we have gathered in a single body to think not only of our past, but also of our present and future. It seems but a few weeks ago that we were freshmen, looking up to and admiring the seniors. Now we are seniors ourselves, ready to step out into life. Many of us, as we sit here tonight, feel somewhat sad. We know that we could have done much better in high school than we have done. Some of us have the feeling that we haven’t accomplished very much. For a moment, let us review these past four years to see where some of our mistakes have been made. In the first place, most of us came to Bulkeley from various grammar schools about the Southend. We were different in family background, but we were alike in one respect —we wanted to get along with the rest of our new classmates. But before many months of our schooling had elapsed, we realized that there wasn’t just one large group of students. Bulkeley was segregated into smaller crowds. We underclassmen began to pattern ourselves after members of one group or another. We wore similar clothes, bought certain shoes and belts, and laughed at the same things, whether they were amusing to us or not. During our freshman and sophomore years especially, we did just enough school work to get by. If we happened to like a certain teacher, we couldn’t show it for fear we’d be labeled as grinds” or birds”, two very popular words in our high school vocabulary. Eventually we all got in with one crowd or another, but what had happened to our real selves? We had become mimeographed copies of someone else. Many times the people we copied weren’t worthy of being imitated. They had no special ideals and quite often we didn’t benefit any by knowing them. We went about from day to day thinking only of ourselves and those immediately about us. We took things as they came, leaving all worries to the next person. We didn’t care about very much, and we didn’t even realize that this was detrimental to our characters. Everyone was content to be a good Joe” and a friend to all. I’m not talking about our whole class, of course. Quite a few have reason to be very proud of themselves. They have studied hard, some even becoming members of the Honor Society. Others too have done their best work, which is every bit as important. These students came to Bulkeley with certain determinations. They joined clubs, and worked hard on committees. They were enthusiastic about and backed all of Bulkeley’s social events. These people were good citizens, and active in their churches. They have been prominent in our class, and will, undoubtedly, be very successful in life. They know what it is to set a goal, and then attain it. But what about the rest of us? As we sit here tonight, we realize that we haven’t done much of anything. We have gone along with the crowd too much. So far we’ve just wanted to be considered good fellows. It can’t be that way any longer! We are no longer children, and we will not be treated as such after graduation. We won’t always have parents and friends around to do all our thinking for us. We will have to stand on our own two feet. Many of our classmates have already left to take part in the current war. They will mature very quickly, but for the rest of us, that task still remains. Life is so short that we should not be content to let it pass us by. We should not- go on all our lives feeling that we are just a face in the crowd, a person who has never accomplished anything. Is it always going to be this way? No! Let us resolve here and now that it will not be. We can become well balanced individuals, ready to take our places among the leaders of the future, or we can remain lazy and indifferent children. The decision is entirely up to us. The world is in a sad state as the class of 1951 is preparing to leave Bulkeley’s portals. All the nations of the world are looking to America for hope and guidance. They are counting on her to be a strong crutch for their weary and broken countries. Therefore, since we, in but a few years, are going to be among those controlling the United States, it is up to us to begin now our task of becoming adults. We should always remember that the countries which today are overrun by a nation seeking world power are nations whose inhabitants all think in mass groups, whether from force or habit. It is in such countries that diseases like Naziism and Communism spread their evil germs. Nations like Russia always aim their vile doctrines at the mob and the lethargic. Citizens who don’t bother to learn the facts and form their own opin¬ ions are the ones who are taken in by propaganda and flowery words. Let us begin to read newspapers thoroughly so that we ' ll constantly have informa¬ tion about our country at our fingertips, and will never be taken in by talk of this kind. Let us be open minded, but not gullible. All of us should investigate each of the political parties, and then make up our minds to vote every time an election occurs. We should read more books, books that will do us some good. Above all, we should pray to God more often, not just on Sundays or when we especially want something, but every day. Remember, He put each of us here for a special purpose. Therefore, as we leave Bulkeley, let us also leave our childish ways, and instead, set forth as clear-thinking citizens, able to preserve the principles of freedom and democracy which are the cornerstones of our wonderful country, America. Mary Ann Rice, Class ' Essayist 76 CLASS HISTORY, PROPHECY, AND WILL SETTING: The Supreme Court of the U. S. CHARACTERS: JUDGE. Babe” Ambrogio DEFENDANTS IN THE CASE.Dorcas McDonald Donald Carr HISTORY Josephine Ida John Kendros PROPHECY Patricia Parchall Felix Karsky WILL QUESTION BEFORE THE COURT: Should B. H. S. be torn down now that the brilliant and successful class of ’51 has graduated? JUDGE: Hear ye! Hear Ye! The court will now come to order. DORCAS DON: Representing the historical values of the class of ’51, we, Dorcas McDonald and Donald Carr, attorneys-at-law, plead the case. CLASS HISTORY OF ’51 Don: Three or four years ago, we, the Class of ’51, entered Bulkeley High School, obscure little freshmen or sophomores. Were we proud as we entered the portals of this great school! Some of us plunged into study, some into extra-curricular activities, while some didn’t care for either. From the very beginning we proved ourselves a class of action. We started to make a name for ourselves and for the best class that had ever entered this high school. Dorcas: September, 1947, found us in the corridors of Bulkeley, faced with the difficulty of finding our way out of Freshman Alley. The fact that we were merely a group of green lower classmen greatly hindered our progress in school activities. Several of us joined the Junior Dramatic Club, one of the few activities in which we were allowed to participate. Don: Our goal of 129 credits seemed a long way off. We had more than our share of crushes and romances in this year. Yes, those were the days when boys meant everything to the girls and the girls meant everything to their mothers. Dorcas: In this stage of only slight participation in school affairs, the first chapter of our high school days came to a close. Don: The next September Bulkeley’s halls were invaded by an army of bright little beavers from a school called Burr. Many more of us came to join our classmates and to help make a history for our now famous Class of ’51”. Dorcas: During the summer our beloved Principal, Dr. Feingold, had passed away, and Mr. Leo M. McCrann accepted the duties as Principal of our school. Although he was new to us, we soon found him to be a friend. Don: Jean Coll, A1 Reid, Maureen Dillon, and Don McCall were taken on a tour of the school by Mr. McElney; when they were in what they thought was the shower room, they were told, to their amazement, that it was just the boiler room with a leaky pipe. They found out later the shower room wasn’t much different. Dorcas: It was in our sophomore year that our lonely girls were allowed in the grassy schoolyard full of humiliated boys who felt there was no justice left in the world. Marianne Garvey seemed to think the social life of the school was affected. This was proven when the list of steady couples increased rapidly. Betty Ferola and Mary Ann Pirog made a permanent impression on Vinnie DiNicola and Bob Schoenberger. Don: Then came the first social event of the year, the Girls’ League-Boys’ Club Dance. Most of the sophomore girls came with bright expectant faces, but alas, there were few boys from our class. Dorcas: Barbara Abare, Phil Merriam, Dot Cwikla, and Nick Costas soon dis- 78 covered the social advantages of the library on Thursday mornings, to the discomfort of Miss Shulze, who was frequently heard saying, Will that boy at the last table please be quiet, or he will have to leave.” Don: George Gerrity, Joe Riccardo, and Dale McGuire were rapidly developing muscles from climbing the stairs to the third floor, while Doris DeBonis, Joan Demma, Sylvia Douglas, and Marie Emmanuel were being overcome by the sweet odors from the chem lab, or was it the home ec room? Dorcas: It was in this same year that everyone’s favorite, ' ' Chopper” Korisky, was added to the B. H. S. coaching staff, much to the joy of Babe” Allen. The Torch underwent numerous changes as Mr. Cacase was named faculty adviser, replacing Mr. Cocks, who had been in charge for a number of years. Don: Then Connecticut became alerted to Bulkeley’s remarkable basketball team, who, with the help of our javees, beat New Britain to come out second in the state. Dorcas: The rumor got around that the Sno-Frolic was coming. Our big chance had arrived, and all the girls sharpened their nails for the battle for a date. Some of the luckier girls who finally went were Joan Ferguson, Jeannine Martin, Joan Dailey, Mary Vicino, and Dolores Battaline. And to end the social whirl of a great year the Maytime Hop, a barn dance inspired by the square-dancing lessons in Miss Tracy’s gym classes, showed us our Principal in a new light—a bright red flannel shirt and dungarees. Don: We had a wonderful time during our sophomore year, didn’t we, Dorcas? Dorcas: We certainly did, but we returned the following fall looking forward to even better ones! At last we were upperclassmen, people of importance. Don: Do you remember when Mr. Fred T. Bashour, one of our graduates, was appointed new Vice-Principal by the Board of Education? Dorcas: Yes, Bulkeley was indeed honored. Some of the luckier boys were often greeted by his smiling face as they were ushered into his private office. Our junior class, especially the boys, gathered enough courage to attend the Girls’ League-Boys’ Club Dance. Lil McKenna, Kenny Flynn, Dorothy Biezad, and Adelbert Bogardus worked together to make this dance its usual success. Don: After digging deep into their well-stocked treasury, the Athletic Association came up with enough money to furnish our band with new uniforms. In fact, their old uniforms were so tattered that they were auctioned off for a very minute sum. Our foot¬ ball team had a wonderful season, including a decisive win over Weaver to tie for city honors, and we entered the final game against New Britain with an outstanding record and plenty of confidence, but the team emerged with just another defeat. Dorcas: As one of his many changes Mr. McCrann, feeling the students didn’t have enough voice in school matters, organized a Student Congress. The representatives from our class were Ray Boll, Matilda Giuliano, and John May. Having to enjoy a weekend with homework, always a growing worry, was a big problem for me until a new Monday morning study period was given us. Don: As master of ceremonies at the Torch Nite of ’49 , Bulkeley’s funny man, Morgan Wilson, gave the audience a laugh-filled evening. Janice Hunter, Rita Bavelas, and Angie Tobias displayed their singing and dancing ability before the footlights. It was through the combined efforts of Julia Howard, Pete Ricci, John Cunnane, and Arlyne Stover that this Torch Nite” was a success. Dorcas: Many of our classmates were prominent in Bulkeley sports that year. Our basketball team once again captured the city championship. The talk of the student body about this time was the dreaded event, our T. B. shots. The juniors were heard asking, Seniors, seniors, tell me quick, Is that needle very thick? Does it hurt so very badly? All my friends are yelling madly.” Don: The Senior Dramatic Club, featuring Jerry Winalski and Ray Jones, pre¬ sented their version of Junior Miss”. The audience was given many a laugh by this play. Dorcas: Spring was coming and with it the long-awaited Junior Prom. Jo Ida, 79 Stan Phillips, Pat Armishaw, Bernard Topper, and Claire Drapeau worked on the various committees under the able direction of Joan Flamio. Mary Ann Rice and Phil Merriam were crowned Queen and King. Cynthia Shiembob and Ray Jones, Betty Franconi and Nonny Randazzo were among the couples in the court. Don: In the spring all the Bulkeley students together with the faculty mourned the passing of a beloved English teacher, Miss Agnes Lahey. Dorcas: Although the record of our baseball team wasn’t exceptional, they showed a fighting spirit. Blackie” Salone, Roger Vertefeuille, and Ronnie Flydal helped form the backbone of the team. Don: The fact that we made so many of our elections and decisions during this year showed that the Class of ’51” was one of action. We elected Peter Barry, Editor-in- chief of our classbook. In May, assisted by Anita Nazaruk, John Ingari, Jo Ida, Guy Bedrossian, Nancy Balkan, Felix Karsky, and Judy Wade, Pete started work on the yearbook. We decided to have an official class photographer, and also to buy our class rings in the fall of our senior year. Our junior year ended with bouts of spring fever and many headaches over final exams. Dorcas: We entered last fall with the knowledge that at long last we were seniors. Oh happy day! This being our year, we were determined to squeeze every possible drop of enjoyment from it. Don: And we did. We started the social season with the Girls’ League-Boys’ Club Dance where a good time was had by all. Dorcas: Remember the collections and elections? The big question was, Whom are you going to vote for?” Don: And Money, money, money ...” Dorcas: You’re right, but to get back to elections, the one for our representatives to the Junior City Council followed a vigorous campaign. At the end of the close race, Babe” Ambrogio, Peter Ricci, Betty Muir, Morgan Wilson, and Vic Camilieri emerged the victorious emissaries from B. H. S. Don: Peter Barry was elected President of the class and Betty Muir became our able Secretary. Next on the year’s agenda were our graduation pictures. We posed prettily, for we knew that they would be in evidence for many years in someone’s attic. Club pictures also received our attention, and particular care was taken that none of us was included in the wrong group. Fifty cents was too great a price for such folly. Dorcas: In November, Bulkeley joined the rest of the city when many of the local notables visited our classrooms and experienced a school lunch on B. L. I. E. Day. Home economics classes were raided to find capable waitresses to serve our esteemed guests. Tony Brancati, Maureen Dunn, and Janet McCarthy donned aprons and waited on table without too many mishaps. Don: As fall progressed, we soon realized that our football team was the greatest in Bulkeley’s history. We stormed the games in droves and cheered ourselves hoarse for such stellar players as Sid” Murphy, Tex” Dion, and Jack Scelza. Mule” Skelley and Bird” Karsky proved worthy of our cheers when they were made All State”. Dorcas: Yes, and Glue-fingers” Kasper, Guy Bedrossian, Paul Giangrave, Blackie” Salone, Crow” Cermola, and Dick Fanelli played their hearts out to finish as the number one team of Connecticut. With the cry of Charge”, the team reached the pinnacle of success when they overwhelmed New Britain, 21-6, in the annual Thanks¬ giving tilt. We named the Bulldogs well. Don: At the spectacular Torch Nite Show”, marking the Silver Anniversary of Bulkeley, Tony Harovas and John Castro, co-editors of the Torch , were masters of ceremony. Dorcas: To complete the show, John Caruso, Fred Manganelli, Bob Hedman, and Marilyn Terragna displayed their various talents. Under the direction of Lorraine Pal- lone, Marilyn Lesniak, Joan LaHouse, Jackie Emonds, and Beverly Tenant sparked the evening with their kicking routine. Don: Don’t forget the boys! The Torturers” really brought the house down with their imitation of the girls’ chorus line. Dorcas: The New Year’s Eve Ball was another first” in the annals of Bulkeley. 80 Our well-used gym never held a more elaborate or successful affair. Don: But our senior year was not limited to social activity. Again we suffered through detention, demerits, the shrill whistle of Babe” Allen, exams, and the fear of Mr. Daly’s ciphers. Dorcas: Chem lab was a novel experience for most of us. At first it was a jumble of queer looking apparatus,- broken test tubes, spilled acids, and mildly irritating odors, but we budding chemists soon learned that this could be fun. Dorcas: The evenings at the Old Webster, John Kendros and his ever-ready car, and the comedy, Family Circle”, presented by the Senior Dramatic Club and starring Pat Parchall, are more things we can’t forget. Don: Don’t forget basketball. Captain Felix Karsky led four other seniors, Light¬ ning” Lynch, Bob Grabek, Ernie Cermola, and Jim Murphy. These boys marched on to the tournament, with the exception of poor Jimmie, whose appendix had to be re¬ moved in the middle of the season. Don: Deserving praise went to the cheerleaders led by Anita Nazuruk, who inspired our teams to do their finest. Two other senior girls who brought credit to Bulkeley were Theresa Russo and Judy Wade, who received the Grace Garvin and D. A. R. Awards, respectively. Dorcas: At last came the occasions which belonged to us alone. The first of these was Senior Nite, the night on which the senior talent stood alone and won the applause of everyone. Then came the Senior Banquet, a lively and delightful senior evening which followed a delicious dinner served in our own cafeteria. The Senior Reception was a gala affair which we enjoyed to the fullest because we realized it was our last dance as students of dear old B. H. S. Don: On the last day of school, we reluctantly gave up our books and our teach¬ ers .. . no more worrying about senior math or how to get rich on Mr. Wilson’s nickels, and no more gnashing of teeth over American history or chemistry. High school has ended for us, but someday our children will be here, and we shall relive the same joys and sorrows with them. JUDGE: The court will please come back to order. New evidence will now be presented. THE PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF ’51 John: Your honor, we shall attempt to prove Bulkeley’s worth by using as examples the heights attained by the graduates of the class of 51. Jo: While in New York on vacation recently, we went to see that famous circus of Bedrossian and Kokinis at Madison Square Garden. It was featuring Alice Pasech nick’s famous flea act. Guess whom we spotted in the show swinging a mean hip? John: Gloria Milmore, Dolores Battaline, Lucille LaBella, Barbara Kearns, Phyllis Krupenevich, and. Eleanor Tolisano. Jackie Emonds, the lady barker, was talking about Dolores Paulson’s famous act in which she charms some snakes with her bob”. Jo: We ran into those inseparables Betty Ferola and Vinnie DiNicola, reporters reviewing the circus. They gave us passes to see Ernie Cermola and Gerry Winalski in Patty Parchall’s new play, Gone with the Gas”. John: Costumes for the show were designed by Bob Manning, and the setting was the creation of Dick Sinsigalli and John DeNesa. Music for the show was by Dottie Cwikla. Fred Mangan elli was conductor of the orchestra. Jo: A feature at intermission was the violin duet of Norman Loranger and Albert White, along with the piano solo of Mary Vicino. According to Alex Pashos, gossip columnist in the Gaudet and Girardin Journal, the show is tops. John: Coming out we bumped into George Morants, who told us that Roger Vertefeuille was still trying to change Holy Cross into a co-ed institution. Jo: From there we took a taxi to see Billie Maycock’s play, Old Age is my Problem.” Who’d a thunk it? The taxi driver was Lucy Maffucci, and watching the meter with a glassy eye was japet Horton. John: Lucy told us of Don Carr, who it seems is now working for the city. I understand he looks very nice in his, new street cleaner’s uniform. Jo: Riding along, we saw Marilyn, Hull and Bill Skelley entering the DeCarlo Hotel with their eleven little Mules bouncing after them. 81 John: As we approached Times Square, we heard a noise. Looking up, we saw the Scelza blimp—the only one of its kind that runs on hot air. Jo: It was advertising Phil Merriams’ new novel, Advice to the Lovelorn” by Loveworm. Its acclaimed as very original. John: After the show we went to check into our hotel, owned and managed by Kasper and DiPrato, multi-millionaires. Jo: In the lobby we saw Betty Muir, who told us that since Mr. Meinke gave her an A in English, she has devoted all her time to baby sitting for his nine children. John: Prices aren’t the only things that are going up nowadays. Jo: She also told us of Dorcas McDonald and Anita Nazaruk. It seems they have struck it rich producing a new breed of dog. I think they call them cheerleaders. John: Here we found that Morgan Wilson had finally reached the heights he deserves. He’s the elevator operator. Jo: When we got to our room we turned on the radio, only to hear radio an¬ nouncer Vic Camilleri present a pleasant and gay advertisement sponsored by Farley’s Funeral Home. John: That evening we dined at the Barry and Ambrogio Personality House owned and managed by Wayne Camilleri. Photographers Stan Phillips and Gerry Wheeler were busy taking pictures of such socialites as Bev Tennant, Nancy Grano, Joan LaVoie, Jeannine Martin, Joanne Foley, and Mary Zocco. Tony Harovas, master of ceremonies, introduced Rita Bavelas. Her number was followed by a dance routine by Pete Kearny, Nancy Balkan, Carol Jacobsen, and Bob Hedman. Jo: Our evening was complete when we saw a basketball game between the Maroonville Bulldogs composed of Bob Walker, Roland Wiggins, Ray Boll, John Cronin, and Joe Carey, and the Greenwich Village Howdy Doody” boys with John Castro as their star performer. John: The cheerleaders for the Bulldogs, Joan Dailey, Rosanne DeFelice, Julianne Benson, and Ethel Dikegoras, got into a hairpulling contest with their rival cheerleaders, Irene Zinky, Agnes Zawacki, Jennie Pace, Dolores Pietroyusti, and Rose Paternostro, over who was the better player, Castro or Grabek, the hero of the inevitable Weaver game. Remember those famous words, Two foul shots are easier than talking?” Jo: On Sunday morning we went to church to hear the peaceful citizen, preacher Dick Fanelli, give his speech on Child care as only a preacher sees it.” Sisters Barbara Abare and Mary Vendetta passed the basket. John: Here we saw Joan LaHouse and Dick Whitmore, who, after eleven years, have finally decided they were meant only for each other. They are to be married in a few weeks. Bridesmaids are Lorraine Pallone, Barbara Zito, Jeanette D’Amico, and Pat Plourd. Jo: As we were leaving we saw Bill Dion passing out cigars again. This time it’s sextuplets. Leave it to Bill to set an all time record, hmm, Joan? John: After church we dined at the Club 51” which is owned and managed by John May. We were greeted by headwaiter Mitch Widun and Chef Vito Maffucci, who served us an excellent meal of Spaghetti a la O’Brien. Jo: The entertainment consisted of vocalist Paul Fehrenback, the poor man’s Frank Sinatra, accompanied by Bill Kane’s Dead Beats.” An added attraction was the bull-throwing of Bob Bulmer and John Burke. John: Later as we approached the Kayser Zoo, we noticed Roger Lynch feeding the monkeys. Jo: Or vice versa. John: Also we saw the famous DeBonis and Davidson sisters, famous for their lion-taming act. They tame the lions while Gloria Bordonaro combs their hair. ' Jo: It was about this time that we noticed Frances D’Addario, Norma Beale, Betty Carruthers, and Jane Quigley. Pushing our way forward we saw Frank DeFrino selling hot-dogs with that famous McCarthy relish on them. Naturally we ate a few, but later had to visit Dr. Dale McGuire’s office for a special remedy, which, by the way, was invented by DeFrino himself. John: While at the office we overheard Drs. Ralph Tosti, George Shea, Pete Forte, and John Zagaja, accompanied by nurses Mary Ann Rice, Ann Smith, and Norma Tuc- 82 citto, arguing about going on an expedition to the Saros desert to find the noted camel- raisers Frank Vincenzo, Bill Silvonic, and John Errico, who were reported missing while searching for the worlds largest camel Jo: The two photographers for the new magazine, How to Stay Young After 1951”, were on hand to take pictures of the entire expedition. It was in this magazine that we found out our ex-English teacher, Miss Potter, had given up the teaching profes¬ sion and is now managing a Drive-in for Shakespeare students only. Some people seen there are Lucy Cornelio, Blackie Salone, and Greg Glynn. They were all especially fond of Shakespeare. John: From the doctor’s office, we went to see Amelia Mascolo’s new production entitled, I Grew Up To Be The Kind My Mother Wouldn’t Let Me Play With,” star¬ ring Shirley Gigle, Brit Carlson, Elizabeth Humphrey, and Mickey Paesano, directed by Dick Cardines and produced by Mario Petrozza and Peter Ragno. Jo: Costumes were designed by Barbara Capenera and Bill Scully. An added attrac¬ tion was the famous bubble-dancing act of Pat Armishaw, Matilda Giuliano, Maureen Kelly, and Gloria Esterbrook. John: Their teacher, Theresa Russo, caused quite a sensation last week. While she was performing her most difficult number, Donald Crawford, who was sitting in the front row, sneezed. Jo: Also across the street was featured Joe Lombardo, the hero of that new pro¬ duction, Don’t Send My Boy To War.” John: After the show we met policewoman Jeannie Brancieri who told us that her husband Felix Karsky was still in the city jail trying to make up the hours and hours of detention he received back at B. H. S. for having played hookey so much. Jo: She also told us of the robbers who tried unsuccessfully to break into Cynthia Shiembob’s school for muscle building. We also heard that John Ingari had invented a new hair tonic, guaranteed to revive all the hair he lost while worrying about his tests. Your honor, this is all we have at the present.

JUDGE: From the weight of the evidence, this Court herewith decrees that it would be a sacrilege to tear down any building from which such a brilliant class has graduated. The Bulkeley High School shall remain standing. 86 OUR STATE CHAMPS — UNBEATEN, UNTIED THE “BIG THREE 1 Make that kick! Crazy Leg’s” Bedrossian Chopper’s boys opened that hole FOOTBALL On a cold dark Thanksgiving morning, before a jam-packed crowd at New Britain ' s Willow Brook Park, the Bulldogs of Bulkeley trounced the Red and Gold of the Hardware City by a 21-6 score, to become the second team in 18 years to stop the Bay- lockmen and to complete the 1950 gridiron season undefeated and untied. This was the greatest football team in the history of Bulkeley High School, and the most powerful eleven ver coached by Babe” Allen. The Maroon opened its season with a victory over Chicopee, 25-0. The game was featured by a 65 yard touchdown run by John Scelza. Frank Mirabello also shone in this contest. These two boys scored 2 T. D.’s each. In the second encounter the Allenmen were guided by the right arm of stellar quarterback Bobby Alex- ' ander, who threw two touchdown passes to defeat a ragged West Haven combine 27-8. Mirabello spear¬ headed the attack by crossing the double markers twice. Then came the first city title game. The Bulldogs,” the new name given to the Bulkeley football squad, found themselves behind, 6-0, right at the start, when an Alexander pass meant for Kalrsky was intercepted by Hartford’s John Kunz, who ran 50 yards for the Owls’ initial T. D. What seemed like a dark day suddenly began to brighten as Guy Bull” Bedrossian, 195 pound fullback, stunned the Hilltoppers by crashing Hartford’s right end, and electrified the crowd with a 73 yard run that brought the Bulldogs back into the game. Again and again Bedrossian, aided by a powerful line, mauled the Hartford eleven. The statistics showed that Bedrossian scored all three touchdowns, to be the hero in the Maroon victory over the Owls 19-13. The Bulldogs reached their peak in New London, trouncing the downstaters 55-12. Karsky and Mira¬ bello sparked the Maroon attack by scoring 18 points apiece. In this contest new faces appeared. Don Rini, a sub back, showed his gridiron talents by running 65 yards for a touchdown. Other stars in this game included Roger Veritfeuille, defensive right half-back, Ernie Cermola, defensive quarterback, and Paul Gian- grave, who was used on defensive kick-offs and made some spectacular tackles. A new quarter-back, Ernie Cermola, adde his fame to this wonder team during the Norwich game. After Alexander was forced to leave the game in the first quarter because of a hip injury, Cermola received his l long-awaited chance to she v his fellow Bulkeleyites his football talents. Ernie really gave the Maroons his all. He successfully threw three touchdown passes, two to Mirabello and the other to Karsky, to down Norwich 39-6. The Bulldogs removed all doubts of ownership of the City Title by defeating the green wave of Weaver 12-0 in a pouring rain. An Alexander to Mirabello pass gave the Maroons their first six points, and minutes later the fleet feet of Scelza whizzed across the goal line to clinch the tenth City Series Title for Coach Allen. Our seventh meeting nearly proved fatal. Spirited Hall High was ahead on leaving the field at half time, leading 6-0. But this lead meant nothing, for when the Bulldogs returned to the gridiron for the second half they had revenge in their hearts. Bedrossian wrecked the West-siders to tie the game. While Hall was still amazed, Alexander passed to Mirabello to go ahead of his foes. For insurance Mirabello went over from the twenty yard line to wrap up what first seemed a defeat. The final score was Bulkeley 20, Hall 6. Last but not least, every Bulkeleyite enjoyed a very happy Thanksgiving dinner after the Bulldogs wound up the season by walloping New Britain High School 21-6. Much credit should be given to the Bulkeley line and their coach, Edward Chopper” Korisky. It was these boys who opened up the holes and threw many important blocks which enabled the backfield to score over 218 points. Without this powerful forward wall consisting of Karsky, Skelley, Salone, Murphy, Gil¬ lette, Dion, Kasper, and subs Casale, Hill, Fanelli, and Bruno, it seems doubtful that the Maroons would have gone undefeated. As was expected, Bulkeley placed nine players on the All-District teams. On the first team we had the honor of placing Karsky, Skelley, Murphy, Alexander, and Mirabello 3 . On the second team we placed Kas¬ per, Dion, Salone, and Bedrossian. To William Mule” Skelley and Felix Karsky we of Bulkeley wish to extend our heartiest and sin- cerest congratulations for making the All-State Team, an honor they both well deserved. We also congratu¬ late Frankie Mirabello, who made Second String All- State, and Ignazio Blackie” Salone, who made Third String All-State. Finally we wish to express our sincere thanks to our coaches, Babe” Allen, Chop¬ per” Korisky, and Dick Kelly, who successfully guided our team to its first undefeated and untied season. Ignazio Salone Hit ’em low, Ernie � 1 Now when you get in there The record for the year stands as follows Chicopee .West Haven Hartford .New London Norwich Weaver Hall .New Britain Bulkeley Bulkeley Bulkeley Bulkeley Bulkeley Bulkeley Bulkeley Bulkeley BASKETBALL After one of the most successful football seasons ever experienced at Bulkeley, the Maroon and White jumped into the basketball season with very little game practice, and opened their ’50-’51 season very poorly. They lost their first game to Meriden 48-34. In the second contest the Allenmen were stunned and more by a lively Hall High array. The West Hartfordites poured 59 points through the hoop, to down the South Enders 59-51. Putting on a fine display for the Bulldogs was Ernie Cermola, who netted 16 points. Going into the third game of the season the Maroons downed East Hart¬ ford 55-39. Starting for the first time was Felix Karsky, ace rebounder for the Maroons, after a leg injury received during the New Britain football game. Karsky tossed in 20 points to lead the Bulkeley squad to its first victory. In the fourth contest New Britain beat the Bulldogs 46-29- The Red and Gold was headed by Big Boy” Dick Orzechowski who dunked in 21 points. In the next two contests the Allenmen subdued the West Haveners twice, with scores of 44-26 and 76-38. Leading the attack were Roger Lynch and Bob Grabek, alias Mutt and Jeff. In the second game the team put on one of the finest shooting exhibitions ever witnessed by a high school crowd. The basket¬ ball team, like the football team, broke another school record by scoring one of the highest number of points, 76. In the remaining games the Maroons put on a remarkable comeback. They won the last 10 out of 11 ball games. First the Maroons bowled over Windham 69-42, as Grabek, Karsky, and Lynch led the attack with 18, 16, and 15 points respectively. In the second tussle Bulkeley beat Windham once more by the close margin of 44-43. In the first City-Series game Weaver eked out a 51-49 victory over the Bulldogs. The Bulkeley quintet revenged a previous defeat at the hands of Meriden by an impressive 57-46 score to gain their 6th triumph of the season. High scoring honors went to Ernie Cermola with 12 points, Roger Lynch with 14 points, and Bob Grabek with 18 points. The bulwark in the second half drive was Captain Felix Karsky, who kept control of both back boards. Then the Bulldogs met the other city foe, Hartford High, and beat them too, 52-43, as Lynch scored 18 points while his teammates Karsky and Alex¬ ander scored 11 and 10 points in that order. Bulkeley’s 8th victory, which enabled them to qualify for the Class A Tournament, was at the expense of Hall High. Putting on a terrific exhibition of shooting were Lynch and Grabek, who collected 41 points between them. Roger Lynch Boh Grabek Ernie Cermola 95 Hey, wait up!! Tap it in, Felix One of the highlights of the season, which nobody will ever forget, was Bulkeley’s 39-38 victory over Weaver’s undefeated team. This victory was accomplished by the great teamwork of all those concerned. Tribute should be given to Bob Grabek, Bob Alexander, Roger Lynch, Ernie Cermola, and Felix Karsky. Special congratulations should be given to Bob Grabek, whose last two fouls after time had expired enabled the Bulldogs to win this well-deserved victory. The Allenmen met a stubborn Hornet team in their return contest. The Hornets were eager to upset the team that had downed the previous undefeated Weaver quintet. Using a full court press in their bandbox, East Hartford was able to offset the Allenmen s attack. Grabek and Cermola scored 18 and 17 points respectively for the South Enders, Bulkeley winning 56-48. This is the year when the Bulldogs gained sweet revenge on the Golden Hurricanes from New Britain. For many years the Red and Gold have found the Maroons pushovers, but this year the tide turned. Beating them in football, 21-6, the Allenmen halted New Britain’s reign in the Thanksgiving Day classic. At the start of the season the highly rated New Britain State Champions of 1950 defeated the B. H. S. basketball squad. But later the day of reckoning came. The powerful Bulldogs handed New Britain one of the worst shellackings they had ever received by beating them 66-52. The attack was led by Bob Alexander, Ernie Cermola, and Bob Grabek. Each collected 18, 17, and 16 points in that order. Bulkeley ended the season with an impressive victory over Hartford High, beating them 53-36. Once more Cermola and Grabek led the attack, scoring 11 and 17 points. This victory enabled Bulkeley to tie Weaver and hold on to the city championship which Bulkeley has won the last two years. In the Class A Tournament Bulkeley was trounced by a highly talented Bridgeport Central team, which defeated the Bulldogs 61-39. This was one of Bulkeley’s infrequent off-nights which came ap the most inopportune moment possible. After the game Babe” Allen said, You’re the finest team I’ve ever had in 25 years.” This is the highest tribute a coach could pay to his team. These boys deserve much praise for playing a terrific brand of basketball this past season. The team includes the following: Captain Felix Karsky, Ernie Cermola, Bob Grabek, Bob Alexander, Tom Hurley, Bob Marianella, Roger Lynch, and Jim Murphy, who was sidelined during the season with an appendicitis operation.

Al¬ though losing Leonard, Gallo, and Blasko last year, Coach Flash” Atlin was very much surprised at what the men did for him this year. Although Boornazian is the only letter- man returning from last year s team, Coach Atlin has several fine-looking prospects in Jim Lovett, Bill May cock, Bill Knorr, and Santo Giangrave. The Bulldog sprinters opened the season in fine style, defeating East Hartford 15 to 40 for the Maroon’s first victory. The annual Greater Hartford Cross-Country Meet held at Keeney Park proved to be unlucky for the Maroon speedsters. The four schools participating were Bulkeley, Weaver, Hartford, and East Hartford. Hartford High, always a threat in sport events, won the meet easily as her first four runners crossed the finish line. Second came Weaver, third came Bulkeley, and fourth East Hartford. The Maroons who placed in the event were Bill Boornazian, who came in seventh, Jim Lovett ninth, and Santo Giangrave eleventh. With no loss of confidence the Bulkeley Bulldogs trampled over New Britain 19-36 as Boornazian, Lovett, and Knorr led the Bulkeley pack. In the Weaver meet two new senior faces appeared: Bill Maycock and Ronnie Erickson came in side by side to give the Maroons a 23-32 victory. Once more Boornazian incorporated won their fourth meet, while losing to Manchester for their only defeat. CROSS-COUNTRY RECORD Bulkeley 15 ... Bulkeley 19 .. Bulkeley 23 ..

Manchester 20 98 SWIMMING TEAM The most powerful and best swimming team that the student body at Bulkeley has ever seen has completed its season. The team won only one meet and lost ten: however, it was the greatest team as far as individual swimmers go. The captain, Richard Cardines, was one of the season ' s many outstanding stars. Dick’s powerful butterfly stroke has again and again lowered the school record for the 100 yd. breast stroke. Edward Camp¬ bell, the best freestyler ever to send up a splash in a swimming pool, compiled more points for the team than any two or three swimmers. Dermie Ray, outstanding and all-around star swimmer, did an excellent job in both free-style and backstroke. Ronald Berube, with his natural abilities, has possibilities for becoming number one backstroker in the state. Frank Curtin is another talented man who has given great performances in both backstroke and freestyle. Joseph Spatts, an up-and-coming Sophomore, may turn into one of Bulkeley’s all-time swimming greats. William Knorr, another swimming athlete, with his ability to do any stroke, has really shown some terrific performances this past season. Bob Martone, one of Bulkeley’s sprinters, has given the team a tre¬ mendous push in both relays. Richard Clark, a three year man, has done an excellent job on the 100 yard butterfly. Lee Kennedy and William Taylor have also given some good performances in fancy diving this past season. Kennedy, a potential diver, came to Bulkeley as a Freshman with hardly any knowledge of the spring board, but under the great coaching of Flash Atlin he has shown the stuff that will make him a terrific diver. John Peak, another of the talented Bulkeley aces, did an outstanding job in free¬ style. Also this year the Ducks had the well-known manager, Roland Gledhill, whose untiring efforts made the teams a big success. The most credit should be given to Coach Atlin, whose work with the boys has produced wonders.

Babe” Allen, who is in his twenty-fiftn year of coaching at Bulkeley, looks for this year’s team to surpass last year’s Record of 6 victories and 4 defeats. Despite the loss of Charlie Mazurek, A1 Alexander, Ray Barry, Joe Cirone, Ish” Meyers, and Chet Russo through graduation, prospects are bright. Returning letter men are Guy Bedros- si n, Blackie” Salone, Bob Marianella, Bob Alexander, and George Archambrault. The pitching chores will be handled this year by southpaw A1 Grabner, Bob Lisbon, and Sal Grande. Behind the plate will be Bob Alexander or Guy Bedrossian who will alternate between catching and the outfield. Battling for infield positions are Blackie” Salone, Pete Barry, Seb Lombardo, Bob Manning, Roger Vertefeuille, Dale McGuire, Ron Flydal, and Archie Conderino. Hard¬ hitting Juniors Bob Marianella and George Archambrault will be the nucleus of this year’s outfield. The team is eagerly looking forward to its first game on May 8 with Hartford High. The team feels this is the year to end Hartford High supremacy of the district on the baseball field. The rest of the schedule is as follows: May 9.Hall, away May 11.Weaver, away May 15.East Hartford, away May 17.New Britain, away May 22.H. P. H. S., away May 23.East Hartford, home May 29.Weaver, home May 31.New Britain, home June 5.Hall, home GOLF Coach Tom Quinn’s golf team faces a hard task to better last season’s record of 5 wins, 3 losses, and 1 tie. The only returning letter man of a team composed of George Soulous, Beans” Lyons, and Gerry Peterson is Don Craw¬ ford. This year’s team will be handicapped because of their lack of experience, but these boys will not be lacking in ability. Aiming for the four starting berths are Seniors Bones” Connelly and Bob Bulmer, Junior Willie Pinto, and Sophs Stan Domain and Marty Cunningham. Matches are being scheduled with Hart¬ ford High, Weaver, Hall, Wethersfield, Newington, and other schools as yet unknown. loo After losing by but 7 2 of a point to Weaver in last year’s Memorial Day meet, Coach Flash” Atlin looked forward to a better and more successful track season in 1951. Although it was still early in the season and there had been little time for the choosing of squad members and even less time for practice. Coach Atlin assembled a squad to compete with Weaver at a dual indoor track meet held at H. P. H. S. Making a good showing were Don Rini, Bill Boornazian, Bill Knorr, and Santo Giangrave, as B. H. S. triumphed 44-24. Captained by Felix Karsky, an outstanding entrant in the weight events, this year’s squad seem capable of running away from all competition and establishing themselves as outstanding challengers for the district championship. With such other fine runners and weight men as Jim Lovett, Ray Belliveau, Bill Dion, and Doc” Bazzano, Coach Atlin has a fine nucleus for another winning track season. The schedule is as follows: March 15—Weaver March 22—State Indoor Championship April 14—Armory Indoor Meet April 24—Connecticut Relay at University of Connecticut May 8—Hall May 20—Sectional Meet at Storrs May 22—Windham May 31—Greater Hartford Meet June 2—State Outdoor Meet TENNIS Last year Bulkeley produced the best tennis team in its short court history. The present tennis team is composed entirely of the same boys that participated last year. They are Nick Costas, Lou Meyers, Dave Hasson, Frank Curtin, Joe Spatts, and Len Morley. With each match last year the team showed rapid improvement and they gained the necessary experience of court play. The highlight of the year was a win over East H artford. The team seems to have a bright future in store. A ten-game schedule is being planned against opponents from Weaver, Hartford, Hall, and East Hartford. 101 Captain—Anita Nazaruk Manager—Dorcas McDonald Pat Angelo Ann DiPrato Ann DiTunno Myrna Goldsmith Marilyn Hull Josephine Macher Alice Pasechnick Mary Ann Rice Virginia Tancred Substitutes — Anna Campitello Dotty Simms CHEERLEADERS Any girl who is interested in sports and is bubbling over with school spirit is determined to become a cheerleader. However, ability in cheering is not the only quali¬ fication. Personality, leadership, average intelligence, and posture are of great importance. Being a cheerleader is a worthwhile experience. The girls learn the value of good sportsmanship, and gain a knowledge of leadership qualities which will be useful throughout life. Many girls try out for cheerleading. At the end of each season the captain is picked by the girls. During this time the faculty adviser, Miss Tracy, and the senior cheerleaders pick the new squad. After much thought eleven girls are picked for the regular squad and three are picked as substitutes. The girls hold practice before school about three times a week during the football and basketball seasons. They attend all home and away games as well. One sub is taken to each game. A cheerleader is not entitled to receive her letter unless she has served on the squad for two years. ■■mm Victory 4 OFFICERS President.James Murphy Vice-President..Thomas Lawrance Secretary.Nancy Balkan Treasurer.William Dion FACULTY ADVISERS Dorothy S.

The Congress consists of one representative from each session room. During the year the Congress sponsored contests to cut down the loss of silverware in the cafeteria, and to name the athletic teams and the Class Book. A party was given for the officers of the Hartford High and Weaver High student governments. Under the guidance of Miss Wheeler and Mr. Anderson, the Congress has had a profitable and interesting year. CLASS OFFICERS 104 President Secretary.

It strives to develop friend¬ ship and school spirit among the girls, and to provide an interesting program throughout the year. The year opened with a Hallowe’en party for the new girls of the school, followed by the first dance of the year in conjunction with the Boys’ Club. The twenty-fifth anniversary of the school was commemorated by the LEAGUE Silver Jubilee Banquet at which time all former presidents of the League were in attendance. Also included in the year’s activities were a box lunch supper, a Mother-Daughter tea, and two food sales. The League is famous for its generous giving at Christmas time.

Included in its highly varied program were several guest speakers, who in many cases brought to the boys a more complete understanding of the problems of life; and movies in which the members found both infor¬ mation and entertainment. In addition the club com¬ bined early in the years with the Girls’ League to sponsor their annual Sport Dance. As usual this dance was a typical Bulkeley success. The Boys’ Club ended its year with the meeting at which the boys about to enter Bulkeley were honored guests. THE TORCH EDITORIAL BOARD OFFICERS Faculty Advisers.Anthony B.

The financial side is maintained by the Torch Business Board headed by Carmela Fontana and Elizabeth Muir. Mr. Hart is faculty adviser. As anticipated, The Torch presented its an¬ nual show, Torch Nite”, which proved a great success. Also, student readers have been pleas¬ antly surprised by several special issues, in¬ cluding the Brotherhood issue, the 25 th Anni¬ versary issue, and others. The Torch over the years has become an in¬ stitution in the school and a fond memory to all alumni. To the student body, The Torch has a special personality; it is dear to all our hearts.

Under the leadership, of Mr. Rapoport the members saw at the Bushnell Memorial Brigadoon”, a musical based on the mystery story Geomelshausen”, which is read in the second year of German. They discussed great authors and poets, listened to classical records, looked at pictures of Ger¬ man cities and harbors, and saw films by German authors. The program has been much enriched this year by the use of German conversational records which enabled the mem¬ bers to express themselves in simple German and then record their own German conversation. THE DIAL EDITORIAL BOARD OFFICERS Faculty Adviser.Irene FitzGerald Editor-in-Chief.Matilda Guiliano Assistant Editors.Terry Russo David Nelson PROAT THE DIAL The Dial , Bulkeley’s literary magazine, pub¬ lished five times a year, contains many diversi¬ fied articles.

Each spring members are elected to the Editorial Board on the basis of their literary ability. This year the highlight of the Dial was its silver anniversary issue dedicated to Bulkeley’s twenty-fifth anni¬ versary. Past editors contributed interesting let¬ ters. Another feature of this special issue was a section devoted to reprints chosen from past issues by the Dial Board. Those editors and members of previous Dial Boards that had re¬ ceived valedictory, salutatory, or good citizen honors were also given recognition in this issue. Because student contribution has been unusually good, the Dial has had a very successful year. BUSINESS BOARD OFFICERS Faculty Adviser.Rachel M.

In an effort to raise money to finance various talks and demonstrations in different techniques and media, the members made Christmas and Easter corsages to sell to the student body and faculty. The energy exerted in making these favors proved fruitful, because the members were enabled to sponsor a water color demon¬ stration, and to obtain a professional model to pose for them. Members also tried their talent at clay modeling, fashion designing, and sketching. 107 ART CLUB OFFICERS Faculty Adviser.Mildred D.

Its members are Jun¬ iors and Seniors who rank high in their class scholastically, possess leadership, and serve the school to the best of their ability. The colorful candlelight induction ceremony held in April will be a cherished memory for those fortunate enough to be elected. The Honor Society sponsors the last informal dance of the school year, the Maytime Hop, which is one of the social highlights of the year. SENIOR DRAMATIC CLUB The Senior Dramatic Club under Mr. Cos¬ tello displayed its acting ability this year by presenting the play Family Circle.” It was a great success, and all who took part in it en¬ joyed fully the work it entailed. At each meeting during the remainder of the year, a short play was presented by some of the members for the rest of the group. Many laughs were enjoyed, both expected and un¬ expected. A talent show was also given by the club. The club also tried to attend out¬ side dramatic presentations when possible, especially at Bushnell. THE JUNIOR RED CROSS The purpose of the American Junior Red Cross is to help those children who are un¬ fortunate, both here and in war-stricken foreign lands. The Red Cross helps these children by giving them clothing and food, by making toys for them, and by sending other articles to keep them healthy and happy. Much of this material is given to the Red Cross by the people of this area. A great many toys are made by the industrial art classes in both elementary and secondary schools. In the fund drive that is undertaken each year, much of the money collected in this section is for underprivileged children. On special holidays veterans are remembered by the Junior Red Cross. Gifts are sent to cheer them up and make their holiday a hap¬ pier one. Whenever there is sickness, dis¬ aster, or trouble of any sort, the American Red Cross is there to help. THE AGORA The primary purpose of the Agora is to teach the members of the club the fine art of debating and public speaking. In the course of the year, debates were held within the club. In addition, the Assembly debate between the Agora and the Legislative Club was revived. A trip to the State Legislature and the annual picnic were also highlights of the 1950-51 year, under the efficient lead¬ ership of Miss Fuller. ASTRONOMY CLUB The work of the Astronomy Club this year can be described in one single word; pro¬ gressive. The club’s popular faculty adviser, Mr. Doolittle, believes the best way to learn something is to be exposed to it, and that is exactly what the club has been. The members studied the heavenly bodies through the telescope at Wesleyan University and at the home of Mr. Doolittle. In December the members journeyed to the Hayden Plane¬ tarium in New York City. The club proved very valuable to its members in their Astron¬ omy courses. JUNIOR LITERARY CLUB The Junior Literary Club is composed of those members of the freshman and sopho¬ more classes who are interested in literature. The purpose of this club is to promote a better understanding of different types of literature. Under the guidance of Miss Hol- sten, meetings are held once a month in the club room. One meeting is held each year in our school library, where the architecture and the stained glass windows are explained, as well as many rare books and other treas¬ ures. At Christmas time the club gives a party for all members and friends. At least once a year the club visits some point of interest, such as a radio station or a museum. From all points of view the Junior Literary Club is an interesting and worthwhile group. It encourages the enjoyable pastime of good reading. Faculty Adviser President . Vice-President.....

I have to light the Bunsen. . . Such is the conversation during the Chemistry Club’s seventh period inva¬ sions of the lab. Under Mr. Keirstead’s super¬ vision, the apron-clad members stir weird concoctions in beakers or shake them in test tubes, arrange complicated-looking appar¬ atus, and ask innumerable questions. Bulk- eley’s budding chemists have enjoyed a pleas¬ ant year of projects and field trips to outside laboratories, thus painlessly absorbing useful and interesting knowledge about a fascinat¬ ing subject. LEGISLATIVE CLUB Under the leadership of Roland Wiggins and Mr. Jenkins, faculty adviser, the Legisla¬ tive Club, a boys’ debating society, has this year been successfully revived. The chief objective of the Legislative Club is the for¬ mation of a debating team whose object, in turn, is the acquisition of public speaking experience and the building of confidence through competition. When the team is not practicing for coming debates, the whole club holds bi-monthly sessions, and Mr. Jen¬ kins passes on to the members some of his tremendous knowledge of debating. In the past, the Legislative Club and the Agora have held such thrilling contests that a legend has grown up. The two are now traditional foes,” and this year marks another famous intraschool debate; this time on the topic Should the voting age be lowered to 18?” THE PARNASSUS CLUB The Parnassus Club has this year, for the I first time in history, held its meetings after school rather than during the choir period. Besides those memorable discussion meet¬ ings, the boys enjoyed two trips to the Avery Memorial, where they viewed an art exhibit and an English film. The parties, one with the Agora, another with the Senior Literary Club, and one at Miss Francis’s house, added much to the social life of the year. Never will any of them forget the picnic which they held in Amherst, Massachusetts. Thanks to Miss Francis’s never-ending font of ideas, the Parnassus Club has had a most enjoyable season. no Faculty Adviser. President. Vice-President... Secretary. Treasurer.

The first big social event on the club’s calendar was its Christmas party. During the year the club had the pleasure of having Miss Purcell, one of our own B. H. S. teachers, talk on a trip to Italy which she had taken the past sum¬ mer. At the club’s business meeting the stu¬ dents worked on a scrapbook which was to be sent to a school in Italy. The aims of the Italian Club are not only to familiarize the students with the language, but to give them ' an understanding of Italian-speaking people and their culture through a knowledge of their games and music. THE COMMERCIAL CLUB The Commercial Club members, with their faculty adviser, Miss Baldwin, have had a most interesting year, during which the members have become better prepared for the business world of tomorrow. They have visited G. Fox Co. where they went be¬ hind the scenes to see how the debit and credit of fices are managed. They have also learned many of the fundamentals of the business machines used here in the school. The members celebrated the Christmas holi¬ day by making their own cheerful cards to send away. INDUSTRIAL ARTS CRAFTS CLUB The Industrial Arts Craft Club, under the supervision of Mr. Ivanoswky and Mr. Rob¬ inson, has undertaken a very interesting project this year. Many of the fifteen mem¬ bers are working on fishing rods as their club project. The boys are making these from fiber glass or bamboo. The rods can be of different varieties such as the fly rod, casting rods, or salt water rods. The club hopes to climax the year’s work in the spring by exhibiting their accomplishments. Dur¬ ing the year, the club members have also worked on other jobs, such as sheet metal work, producing ash trays and other usable items from met al. Ill Faculty Adviser. President. Vice-President. .

Gorse .Mary Scollo .Stasia Mytych .Irene Zinky .Barbara Cripps Lorraine Desrocher THE HANDICRAFT CLUB The newly organized Handicraft Club has enjoyed a year of interesting activities. Its biggest project was the affiliating with F. H. A. (Future Homemakers of America), which is a national organization of pupils studying homemaking in Junior and Senior high schools of the United States and its territories. At Christmas the members made two contributions to the Red Cross, Christmas gift bags and assorted home¬ made cookies. There have also been several interesting meetings with the Ni-No-Van Club. A great deal of the credit for our successful club goes to our two advisers, Mrs. Bierkan and Miss Gorse. THE AUDIO-VISUAL SQUAD An important factor in the school’s program this year was the Audio-Visual Squad which operated under the guidance of Mr. Doolitde. These boys and their adviser deserve recognition for the splendid services they have performed. Arranging the day’s schedule, operating the many new and expensive devices which were provided by the school, and keep¬ ing these machines in the best possible working con¬ dition were only a few of their duties. The large number of educational films which have been shown throughout the year contributes a great deal to various courses at school. These boys were successful in add¬ ing much color to the science, biology, history, and language courses by their efficient conduct of the audio-visual program. Faculty Adviser. President.

One of our first meetings was held at the Hartford Theological Sem¬ inary, where we viewed Bibles and other religious books that were written in almost every language in the world. The highlight of our Christmas party was the reading of Christmas stories which were written by the members. At some of our other meetings the members examined Christmas cards and verses which had been created by the members. Touring the Hart¬ ford Hospital right from the kitchen to an operating room made up one very informative program. St. Valentine’s day was celebrated with a lively party. On our final tour of the year we visited Trinity Chapel where we learned about the construction of the Chapel from the crypt to the tower. The year’s activities, under the supervision of Miss Hofmann, proved most interesting and educational. THE PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB Each succeeding year the Photography Club seems to get larger. This year membership hit an all-time high. Its success is due to the hard-working faculty advisers, Mr. Bashour, head of the technical branch, and Miss Woodis, head of the business end of the club. Whether the events at B. H. S. be social or athletic, a Photography Club shutter-bug” is there to take some snaps. When one of these so-called bugs” is seen roaming the halls with a camera, this remark can often be heard from the side lines, There goes one of Freddy’s Flashbulb Boys”. Faculty Adviser President.

Several educa¬ tional trips were taken to such places of local interest as the State Capitol and the Wethersfield State Prison. At Christmas time the members celebrated the holi¬ days by giving a joint party with the Chemistry Club. But perhaps the most important undertaking was the sponsoring of a United Nations Assembly during which they presented the U. N. flag to the school. SENIOR LITERARY CLUB Junior and Senior girls, interested in broadening their knowledge of the literary field and having a jood time, too, have secured these in the Senior Literary Club, which is under the supervision of Miss McSherry. Besides reporting on books and experi¬ menting with a tape recorder, the club has also held a Get Acquainted Tea”, and a Christmas party, and has taken field trips to such places as the Avery Memorial and the Trinity College Chapel. To end a pleasant year the girls will hold a party jointly with the Parnassus Club, and will also take an interesting field trip. Faculty Adviser. President. Secretary.

The member¬ ship is limited to boys taking Biology. This year the Boys’ Biology Club, under the supervision of Mr. Hendler, has engaged in many interesting and varied activities, including a party with the Girls’ Biology Club, trips to the city health laboratory, the Yale Museum, the Trinity Museum, and several odd trips. In all, it turned out to be a very successful year with fun as well as knowledge for all. Faculty Adviser President...... Vice-President... Secretary. Treasurer. Fifth Member... H.

Navy Training Program. These films in¬ clude such a variety of subjects as correct maintenance and handling of an air craft, taxiing, correct take-off and landing procedure, instrument reading and flying, navigation, and radio. This series of films described the training of a cadet from his entrance into flight school to his first solo. The club was conducted on a tour of the control tower of our local air port at Brainard Field. Many things were explained, such as tower to plane communication, the different types of radios used, and the use of a Biscuit Gun, a device for directing air craft without radio by way of colored lights. A little adventure was injected into our trip to the tower when a call was received via radio from a U. S. A. F. fighter plane lost somewhere over Cape Cod. The tower operator, working in conju nction with Boston and Providence operators, soon found the plane. Faculty Adviser. President. Vice-President... Secretary. Treasurer. .Oswin H.

The club also has a program whereby beginners are taught both the fundamentals of the game and also the advanced aspects. Whenever there is a dispute over a move, the players settle it by calling on their adviser, Mr. McElney, to answer the question. At various times throughout the year, the chess team has proved its prowess by journeying to other schools and holding matches. Although the team hasn’t had a perfect season, it has won more than its share of matches and has played many exciting games. One can appreciate the enthusiasm the club has for chess when some of its members may be seen leaving the school as late as five o’clock, and that of their own free will. Faculty Adviser.William H.

The highlight of this year’s program was the Roman Banquet where all participants were attired in the dress of gods and goddesses. A delicious menu was served consisting of roast pig and all the trimmings, followed by entertainment in the form of dancing girls, and Nero and his fiddle. Also, during the year playlets, song fests, and a variety of games were enjoyed. The high enrollment in the club shows that interest in Latin still thrives among Bulkeley students. RADIO CLUB This year the Radio Club has increased its mem¬ bership almost two-fold. The activities of the club, with the help of Mr. Cook, the faculty adviser, have now become varied and interesting. This year the club was divided into two sections: those taking code and those studying radio construction. The club has acquired several pieces of surplus war equip¬ ment which have been put to good use. Two of the members acquired their ’ ' Ham” licenses during the past summer. Besides the regular meetings, the mem¬ bers have taken inspection tours to various radio stations and radio transmitters. Faculty Advisers President. Vice-President. Secretary. Treasurer.

This year the club went to visit the trade school, heard several interesting speakers, and learned about flower arrangement. Every year the club takes an active part in the Christmas stocking project for the veterans’ hospital, and in other worthwhile projects. The object of this club is to get better acquainted with our community and to create a better understanding of the every-day problems of teen-age girls. The club is under the sueprvision of Miss Rooney. 115 ® n Faculty Adviser.... President.... Vice-President. Secretary. Treasurer....

Bea S e oJ« Camp THE ECONOMICS CLUB One of the most active clubs in Bulkeley High School is certainly the Economics Club. At the beginning of the school year its mem¬ bers set up a definite program to follow. The program was divided into two parts dealing with the study of both economics and gov¬ ernment. Such interesting places as the Tele¬ phone Company, Gas Company, Fuller Brush, and the First National Bank, to men¬ tion a few, were visited by the club members. Mr. Spalding, the club’s faculty adviser, de¬ serves much credit for the club’s success because of his excellent advice and hard work. THE GIRLS’ BIOLOGY CLUB The purpose of the Girls’ Biology Club is to create a deeper interest in the problems of health, and to cultivate an appreciation for and an understanding of wild life. Under the leadership of Miss Hodge the club has visited the Peabody Museum in New Haven, the city Health Laboratory, the Hartford Hospital and Nursing School, the Blood Center, the Lincoln Dairy, the Newington Home, and many places of interest in New York City. THE FRENCH CLUB The success of the French Club this year can be accredited in large part to the spirit of friendly cooperation which exists between the members and their genial faculty adviser. Miss Langwill. She has worked enthusiasti¬ cally to make each monthly meeting a suc¬ cessful one. Movies, books, and pamphlets were frequently used to make these gather¬ ings both beneficial and entertaining. As a climax to its well-rounded program, the Club holds a Maytime party and dance to which another club is invited. GIRLS’ LEADERS CORPS The Girls’ Leaders Corps, under the direc¬ tion of Miss Tracy, is one of the more prom¬ inent clubs at B. H. S. Membership consists of junior and senior girls, with some out¬ standing lower classmen. Members are re¬ quired to take five showers monthly, and to attend the two hour meetings in preparation for Guest Night, a program given by the Corps every other year. But all is not work in the Leaders’ Corps. There is the Sno- Frolic, a dance sponsored by the Corps each year. TWs formal is one of the highlights of the year because it is opened not only to Leaders, but to the whole school. CHOIR C Choir C, which consists of sixty-nine boys and girls from the three upper classes, is a selected choir which meets sixth period on Tuesdays and Thursdays under the capable direction of Miss Lane. Fred Manganelli, class of 1951, was the piano accompanist for the past year. This musical group, which is one of the most active organizations in Bulkeley, took part in the United Nations Day Assembly, BLIE Day, the Grace Garvin Assembly, and the Christmas Assembly. Each year Choir C sends approximately seven people to the Connecticut All-State High School Chorus, which presents an annual concert in October along with the All-State Band and Orchestra. The high point this year was reached in March when, in observ¬ ance of the Lenten season, Choirs B and C performed Handel’s great oratorio, The Messiah.” This was the most ambitious and greatest musical endeavor in the history of Bulkeley High School. The Choir journeyed to Rockville in April to take part in the Connecticut Choral Audition Festival. There they sang two songs and were rated by com¬ petent judges on diction, musical effects, and interpretation. Choir C takes part in the annual spring concert of Bulkeley’s choral groups. The final event of the year is the annual All-City Music Festival, which is pre¬ sented in May at the Bushnell Memorial. This is a musical concert of all age groups, ranging from the Inter-Primary Grade Chorus to the Inter-Senior High Chorus, Orchestra, and Band. ORCHESTRA The B. H. S. Orchestra, which started with ten members, has now grown to thirty mem¬ bers who play music of a symphonic nature under the direction of Mr. Lieberman. Dur¬ ing the past year the orchestra has played for the Christmas assembly, the Dramatic Club play, the annual spring concert of the orchestra and band, on Class Night, and at several visits to the grade schools. The orchestra has enjoyed the most successful year of its career during the 1950-1951 season. Faculty Adviser. Eresid n - . ent. Vice-President.. Secretary. Treasurer. Club Captains. Helen B.

Composed of nearly 40 pieces, the band has a repertoire ranging from the loud, stirring marches of Sousa to the modern music of Morton Gould, and yet all these works are done with re¬ markable accuracy. Present at a number of football and basketball games, the band played a major part in boosting the morale of the team and urging them on to victory. As is the case every year, the Bulkeley band was amply represented in the All-State Band at the Bushnell Memorial concert. The band gives a concert each spring consisting of a varied program of works which always meets with great success, and is a musical event looked forward to at Bulkeley. Faculty Adviser. President.

An all-new squad, with the exception of Captain Elaine Des- rocher, came to weekly lessons with Major Harney throughout the summer months. The twirlers, Martha Hall, Janet Horton, Janet Miller, Cynthia Palen, Betty Ratigan, Margaret Robertson, Jacqueline Roy, Beverly Selza, and Margaret Schoenberger, attended all but two of the football games, and those two were out of town. Other highlights of the season were twirling at rallies, at Parents’ Night, and at the Spring Con¬ cert, when they twirled lighted batons. Bulkeley has had twirlers for five years under the faculty adviser- ship of Mr. Wescott, and is very proud of their appearance and their talents. Faculty Adviser.J.
