VCBULKELEY w higW scvi6ol HARTFORD, y CONNECTICUT DEDICATION Although only those who have taken art may know her intimately, Miss Safford’s work has placed her indirectly in contact with Bulkeley students since she has been here. She has supervised the art work in this issue of Maple Leaves as well as in all the preceding ones. Thus the graduate’s smile when a cartoon or sketch reminds him of a particular phase of school life is due in large part to Miss Safford s untiring efforts. Because of this service and many others, her loyalty, her unselfishness, and her active interest in her students, we take great pride in paying her this well-deserved tribute. GLADYS SAFFORD DEDICATION ] ' ■ Mr. J. Ralph Spalding will long be remembered as a warm and human person. Head of the history department, Mr. Spalding does not limit himself to the teaching of history. All his students will agree that he has helped build character and form responsible Americans in his classes by trying to teach what good citizenship means and entails. He has always been genuinely interested in everyone he meets. We have tried to put into words what is very clear in our hearts—that Mr. J. Ralph Spalding is a belayed teacher whom we will long remember. J. RALPH SPALDING i 3 PREFACE Graduation is a time when people pause to review the past and to look toward the future. For us, June is the month when we shall look back over the last few years to see what they have done for us and what they have meant to us. When we entered Bulkeley, many of us were insignificant—at least to the seniors—little freshmen, but because we had just come from the top of the lower grade levels, we considered our¬ selves kings of all we surveyed! That was the year we made our first new friendships— some of which will last a lifetime—and also the period during which many dropped that pre-teen shyness. Yes, by June 1953, most of the boys had repeated the fateful words, W-W-Would y-y-you li-li-like to go t-t-to the mo-mo-vies Friday ni-night?” However, they couldn’t be blamed much because the girls had, by carefully observing the veteran seniors, learned to flash a continually warm and alluring smile whenever any unsuspecting male was in the vicinity. The following September, our ranks were swelled by the incoming class from Burr. The old hands among us went around flippantly mixing up those poor insignificant” freshmen while the newcomers had to struggle to find room 169 and also to discover that no one did any bowling in freshman alley (except during classes). In those first two years some of us took that hard path called the Honor Roll Trail” right from the start, but many others took a trail” somewhat easier. No matter which path we took, right now we wish that we had tried at least a branch of the other. We held our breath cautiously as June 1954 approached and could hardly believe that our junior year was actually here. When September came, a few more of us— with a somewhat frightened but prudent glance toward the future—began to buckle down to those irksome studies. Early in 1955, we became the first junior class to be organized when Joe Crowe and Judy Gallagher took the top spots in class voting. The fabulous Junior Prom, which we had awaited so long, came and went. It was really great to be an upper classman, but the time passed so quickly that June seemed to merge into September. This was it—our last year at Bulkeley. For some strange reason the fall of 1955 brought many a determined, “I’ll get an ' A’ if it kills me,” look. The last of those who were going to, had bowed to the yoke of learning. Amid a flurry of ever-increasing social activities, the class of 1956 elected its officers and moved rapidly through the fall and winter months. In the spring those wonderful senior activities, which, we had dreamed about for four years, began. The Senior Banquet, Senior Night, the Senior Reception, Class Night, and Graduation all hold special memories for each one of us. In the title of a song popularized during our senior year, they are our Moments to Remember.” What now of the future? While at Bulkeley, we have been given an opportunity to learn the lessons which will prepare us for that future. These lessons in maturity, in integrity, in brotherhood, and many others, along with a fervent trust in God, will assure honor for the thirtieth Graduating Class of the Morgan Gardner Bulkeley High School. It is the hope of the Classbook Editorial Board that this edition of Maple Leaves will bring back many pleasant memories and thoughts of good times, friendships, and accomplishments that have occurred during the past few years. We should like to extend our personal thanks to those people whose help has been invaluable in publishing the 1956 edition of Maple Leaves: to our faculty advisors, Miss Shea and Mrs. Doerschuck; to Mr. McElney and the Business Board; to Miss Safford and her talented Art Board; to the Typing Staff and their unfailing patience; and to the members of the Editorial Board (and their parents who put up with our frequent and boisterous meetings) who gave so freely of their time. Also of utmost importance was the generous cooperation of Mr. Mackimmie, Mr. Bashour, and the entire office staff, all of whom greatly facilitated our work. Lastly we would like to extend our sincere thanks to Mr. Little of Loring Studios, whose coverage of school events was certainly above and beyond an already liberal contract, and also to Mr. Brown of O’Toole Printers who gave us much valuable advice. At this point it is time for an introduction. On the following page and on all dividers you will notice a figure with a 56” on his sweater. We have named him the Spirit of Bulkeley,” and we hope that he will symbolize to you the true spirit of our school as he conducts you through this 1956 edition of Maple Leaves. 4 ADMINISTRATION MR. MACKIMMIE Principal We feel especially privileged to have such an outstanding person for our prin¬ cipal at Bulkeley. Throughout our four years Mr. Mackimmie’s fair judgment and genuine interest in his students have been very apparent. The Editorial Board of the 1956 MAPLE LEAVES has seen fit to revive the custom of including a Prin¬ cipal’s message in the class book. I appreciate the op¬ portunity that this gives me for a last brief talk with you as members of the student body. Throughout your four years at Bulkeley High School I have had the privilege and pleasure of dis¬ cussing a wide variety of topics and problems with you at assemblies, class meetings, student council meetings, committee meetings, and in individual con¬ ferences. I have been grateful to you for your will¬ ingness to listen, your respectful attention, and your openmindedness. In these comments I should like to point up two of the many points of view and at¬ titudes that Bulkeley has tried to give you. I hope each one of you carries them with him as he leaves his Alma Mater to take his place in the adult world. I remind you first that, while you differ in abilities and talents, each of you in his own way has much to contribute to society. We have tried to show you the importance of using all of the potentialities that have been given you. You have made progress in varying degrees in accomplishing this fundamental objective of education. There is no easy way to attain this goal, it can be reached only through self-dis¬ cipline and hard work. While this process involves drudgery and denial, these elements are far over¬ shadowed by the pleasure, satisfaction, and feeling of self-respect that are the rewards of accomplishment. It is now most important that you continue to rec¬ ognize your obligation to achieve to the limit of your capacities. Next, I commend to you again the ideal of service to your fellows. Many of you have taken advantage of the opportunities that the school and community have given you for working with and for others. You have come to recognize that the followers of the what is there in it for me” philosophy are in reality short changing themselves. I assure you that this willingness to give unselfishly of yourselves is a basic ingredient to the realization of a rich, rewarding, and full life. In saying farewell, I should like to express to each of you my appreciation of your many fine contribu¬ tions to Bulkeley High School. You have been a good class and have furnished the school with strong and cooperative leadership. Like other able groups that have preceded you, your influence will continue to be felt and something of your personality will re¬ main as a permanent part of our school. As you be¬ come Alumni, always bear in mind that we are fol¬ lowing your careers with interest and that we stand ready to serve you in any way that we can. I wish you Godspeed, confident that you will bring credit to your parents, your teachers, and to Bulkeley High School. Alexander A. Mackimmie, Jr. Principal April 18,1956 6 MR. BASHOUR Vice-Principal MRS. PIETRALLO Dean of Girls Mrs. Pietrallo has made the problem of every one of her girls her own. Her sincerity and thoughtfulness have been truly admired by the student body and will not soon be forgotten. As disciplinarian at Bulkeley, Mr. Bashour has one of the most difficult jobs in the administration. The recog¬ nition of his square shooting” by those of us who have met him in a business capacity stands as proof of Mr. Bashour’s sympathetic firmness. BOARD OF EDUCATION Rev. R.

Meucci then went over for the third and final tally for Bulke- ley. The score at the gun was 19-12. Because of the rain the H.P.H.S, battle was postponed. After a week’s layoff, the Maroons traveled down to New London to tangle with the Whalers. Lou Cadrello, a speedy New London half-back made the afternoon extremely un¬ pleasant for the Bulldogs as he contributed 25 points to his team’s 38-18 victory. The first Maroon T.D. came in the first quarter as a Scata- to-Meucci pass produced 6 points. This was the only T.D. which the Bulldogs were able to score until late in the third quarter, when they connected for two in rapid succession. The incident which seemed to upset the Maroons was Ca drello’s 95-yard gallop after Bulkeley had taken the lead 6-0. From this time on the Bulldogs were unable to stop the opponents’ offensive unit. Somewhat ashamed at their showing against New London, the Bulkeley eleven met Wilbur Cross on the following Sat¬ urday at home. The ’55 Eleven’s first T.D. was tallied by Bob Higgins. It occurred after Meucci had gone back into punt position. The snap from center was bad and Meucci picked the ball up and ran 15 yards for the first down. On a handoff, Higgins bolted the last 25 yeards to paydirt. Late in the third period the Maroons scored again. Meucci and Ted Sudal were on the receiving end of two Scata passes which brought the ball down to the Cross 2-yard line. Meucci Coach Babe Allen began his thirtieth year of coaching Bulkeley football elevens this past fall. He started the season with what was one of the most unusual losses ever suffered hy a BHS grid-eleven. October 1 was the day the Bulldogs were to make their ’55 debut at Norwich Free Academy. The Ac’s took the offensive lead and scored first. They then proceeded to kick off to Bulke¬ ley. The ball skidded into the end zone, having already been touched by a Bulkeley player. An alert Norwich halfback pounced on the loose ball and it was declared a T.D. A for¬ ward pass was completed for the point after. The Maroon’s first touchdown came on a series of pass plays which brought the ball down to the 3-yard line. Co-Captain Cristalii then took a handoff from Scata and slammed through for the score. The extra-point attempt failed. A Scata-to-Meucci pass accounted for the second Maroon score. The Moose” snagged the aerial on the 15-yard line and went the distance for the six points. Again the P.A.T. attempt failed, and the Maroons went on to lose their first ’55 encounter 13-12. The scene of the Bulldogs’ second game of the season was East Hartford, where the Bulldogs took on an undefeated Hornet squad. The Easterners racked up the first score of the afternoon, in the early minutes of the opening period, with Jim O’Connell going over for the T.D. On the ensuing kickoff Manny Scata returned the ball to the home team’s 30-yard line. The offensive gears started mov¬ ing as Pat Plummer and Bob Higgins pulled down two Scata passes and Cristalii, Higgins, and Meucci combined to carry the ball to the 4-yard line. Meucci then skirted left end for the score. Dave SanGiacomo booted the ball through the uprights for the extra point. In the early minutes of the third quarter Paul Gionfriddo intercepted a Hornet pass on their own 43-yard line and raced the full distance for the score. The Toe’s” try for the extra point was blocked. East Hartford quickly rebounded with combined runs of 25-yards and 12-yards earning their second T.D. to make the score 13-12. Their try for the extra point was no good. The Maroons started another offensive downfield trot on the next kickoff. Higgins made the longest run of the after¬ noon on this drive, running 50 yards to the 38-yard line. On a “Coach and Co-Captains.” Step aside, a lotta men didn’t and a lotta men died! then took a handoff and plunged through the line for thf final BHS tally. The score was 13-6, where it remained th rest of the game. In their first city series clash, the Bulkeley squad took or Weaver High, a game which proved to be little more than : workout. The Bulldogs registered T.D.’s in every quarter. The firs touchdown was the culmination of a 64-yard drive whicl finally saw Meucci go 13-yards to paydirt. SanGiacomo’s con version was good and the Maroons led 7-0. Manny Scat: carried the ball on an option play and skirted his own lef end for the second score. The Toe” made it for 2 for 2 as hi again split the uprights. In the third quarter a 69-yard Maroon drive paid off whei Higgins took advantage of a key block thrown by Cristalli an went 9 yards for the T.D. Dave added another E.P. The lone Beaver score came in the fourth period, after Te Sudal had grabbed a Scata pass and tightroped 19 yards t paydirt. The final score — Bulkeley 27, Weaver 7. Still possessing the scoring fever, the Bulldogs played ho: to Hall High and trounced the Westerners 21-6. Joe Meuct was the offensive standout of the afternoon, scoring thre T.D.’s. On the v ery first kickoff the Maroons traveled 90 yards t their first touchdown. Bob Higgins scored the tally over lei tackle. San Giacomo’s boot was good for the P.A.T. Late in the second quarter Meucci started his afternoon performance going 75 yards on a handoff from Scata for th score. “The Toe” again split the uprights. In the early minutes of the third period, Andrew an Higgins workhorsed the pigskin down to the Hall 40-yar line. Meucci then took a handoff from Scata, cut to the sid( lines, and raced 40 yards to paydirt. SanGiacomo again cor verted. On the ensuing kickoff Hall fumbled, the Maroons recot ered, and Bulkeley was on its way once again. Substitute Torneo and Volpe lugged the leather to the 5-yard line, Meuct scored for the last time ' of the afternoon and likewise th “Toe” booted the E.P. Riding high on a string of three victories the Maroons me their annual foe, Hartford High, at Municipal Stadiun Mother Nature poured snow and rain over the field. The Bui dogs didn’t win, but they did break an Owl four-year domint tion of the City Series by tying their foes 6-6. The lone Bulkeley Tally came in the opening period. Scat Bod Andrew starts struttin!” Looking for something?” Get away says the ' Moose’!” tying heads-up ball intercepted a Hartford High pass and tried it to the 12-yard line. On a series of running plays the 11 was brought to the one-yard line where The Moose” ok it over for the score. The important extra point was ocked and the Bulkeley eleven led 6-0. The Owls, however, quickly tied the score on the ensuing ckoff, Their try for the extra point was blocked and the ore was tied 6-6. The teams remained deadlocked for the st of the game, as snow and rain slowed down both offensive [its. The final game of the season came — Turkey Day, and ew Britain High. The Hurricanes undefeated eleven needed stop Bulkeley to gain a bid to play in the Orange Bowl, op them they did as the Maroons were trounced 33-0. tlkeley was unable to get moving against the bowl-bound ew Britain squad and the score hardly showed Bulkeley’s orth. With the loss to New Britain, the ’55 Bulkeley Eleven went wn into history. They compiled a 4-3-1 record which was t what some people expected and more than others did pect. The squad was young and green early in the season, it Coaches Allen and Korisky patiently molded a veteran uad. For many the New Britain game ended their football reers: Guy Carbone, Co-Captain of the ’55 eleven, an excep- jnal lineman and an excellent leader; Don Cunningham, tlwart line backer; Nick Nicholas the Golden Greek”, who :ld his own against any center or lineback in the District; it Plummer and Tony Mele, reliable ends; Angelo DeMarco, ho, in his first year out, made the starting lineup and really Ided to the offensive and defensive forward walls; A1 Coco, te of the best defensive guards in the state; Steve Sonone, a mnky guard who saw defensive action; Charlie Debonis, the rappy little end who saw limited action because of injury: ob Andrew, injured early in the season, but a powerful fensive threat whenever he played; Bob Higgins, starting ilfback, who chewed up a lot of yardage for the Maroons; o-Captain Cristalli, also hampered by injury, who played an cceptional defensive game before being sidelined. Post-season honors came to several Bulkeley Gridders. hosen as All-State guard was A1 Coco; on the district eleven, ulkeley placed Guy Carbone, Nick Nicholos, Ted Sudal, Joe [eucci, and Coco. Thus the book is closed on the history of the 1955 version : the Bulkeley Eleven. A book which was exciting and action- icked from Norwich to New Britain.

The Ducks started the season by winning a squeaker over Man¬ chester High. The Bulldogs won the opening Medley Relay event. Tom Montana captured third in the 200-yard freestyle while Rick Taylor was second in the 40-yard freestyle. A1 Morel captured first place in the diving, as did Adams in the backstroke and Cianci in the breast stroke. The Maroons encountered strong Windham High in their second meet and lost 36-33. Placing for Bulkeley were: Montana, second in the 200-yard free¬ style; Taylor, second in the 40-yard freestyle; Morel and Clapis, second and third in the diving; Taylor, second in the 100-yard freestyle; Cianci, first in the breast stroke. Vin Lauria and Bob Adams combined to capture first and second in the backstroke. The 160-yard freestyle relay was also won by the Maroons. Flash took his boys down to Bristol for their second meet where they trimmed the hometown squad 36-33. Bulkeley opened the meet by winning the 160-yard medley relay. Montana captured third in the 200-yard freestyle. Taylor and Marshall took second and third in the 40. Morel and Clapis captured first and third in the diving event. Taylor grabbed first place in the 100 as did Cianci in the breast stroke. Adams and Lauria finished out the scoring by capturing first and third in the backstroke. Sacred Heart of Waterbury was the next test for Bulkeley and proved too strong for the Bulldogs as they won 44-25. Montana placed second in the 200, as the Maroons captured four first places throughout the meet but lost those important relays. Taylor was first in the 40, and in the diving Morel captured first place. Taylor took his second place of the meet by placing third in the 100. Cianci, still going strong, took the breast stroke as Lauria won the backstroke. Adams placed third in this event. Bounding back from their defeat at the hands of Sacred Heart, Bulkeley beat Portland High 37-31. Coach Atlin scrambled his lineup and forced only enough events to win. Bulkeley captured every first place, except in the 100-yard freestyle and the freestyle relay. Middletown was another easy one for the Flashmen as they won 42-27. The Maroons captured every event, except the 40-yard freestyle and 160-yard relay. This was a good prep meet for Bulkeley’s next encounter with Hartford High. Watch your head!” 114 At the Moylan Pool Flash’s charges whipped H.P.H.S. in fine fashion, to the tune of 42-27. Cianci, Lauria, Taylor, and Clapis captured first places for Bulkeley. Second positions went to Montana, Taylor, Morel, and Adams. The third spots were grabbed by Montana and Marshall. The medley relay team of Lauria, Cianci, Marshall, and Morel was also victorious. Torrington proved their claim to the title of state champions as they sank the Aquamen 42-27. Vin Lauria was the only Maroon to capture a first. Paul Cianci, although victorious in all previous meets, was forced to take a second. Taylor finished third in the 200, and the 160-yard freestyle relay went to Bulkeley. Paul Cianci set a new Meriden YMCA record in the breast stroke as the Maroons beat Meriden 37-32. Cianci ' s record-breaking time was 1:05.6. The scoring for B.H.S. went like this: kailria, first in the backstroke and second in the 200-yard freestyle; Montana second in the 4O ' , Adams, second in the backstroke; Morel and Clapis placed first and second in the diving; Taylor, second in the 100. The 160-yard relay was also won by Bulkeley. The Bulkeley Aquamen closed out the season by losing to a very strong Crosby squad. The Waterbury team won 43-26. Montana took his first first place of the season in the 40 while Cianci won the breast stroke. Lauria was second in the backstroke as was Taylor in th e 200. A1 Morel finished third in the diving, and the 160-yard relay team won their event. With the Crosby meet, the Bulldogs closed their 55- 56 season. It was an excellent season for Coach Atlin and his squad as they compiled their 6-4 record. Graduation will prove costly to Flash as he will lose Cianci, who was beaten but once in dual competition.

WON 12.LOST 4 Smaller in size, but just as big in heart and fight. These words well describe this year’s Bulkeley Court Quintet.” Lou Bazzano molded another good team despite lack of height. This year’s squad was particu¬ larly good in that it was the first Bazzano squad to beat H.P.H.S.; the Maroons attained another feat in that they equalled last year’s won and lost record compiling a 12 and 4 record. Bulkeley opened the season in West Hartford where they downed Hall High 59-47. The Big Boys” for Bulkeley were Tom Czarnota and newcomer Carmen Perrone. They both hit for 17 points. After a shaky first half, the Bulldogs jelled and began popping” in a variety of shots. Joe Reilly started his year’s duties of quarterbacking and did a The Seven Sharpshooters Johnny Precourt Tony Mort” Pinchera Ed” Fish Little Joe Reilly noteworthy job of directing the team from back- court. East Hartford was the scene of Bulkeley’s second encounter. The Hornets proved to be no more than a workout as they bowed 62-40. E. Tom Czarnota was high man in this game as he popped in 21 points. Joe Reilly, the slick ball¬ handling junior, scored 12 points and directed, once again, the team’s play. The Hornets battled on fairly even terms in the first quarter, but once the Maroons got rolling they were too much for the Easterners. Johnny Precourt’s three point play in the closing minutes of the final period gave Bulkeley an impres¬ sive win over Manchester High. Carmen Perrone Saul Chafin The Bulldogs shot a good 39% from the floor as Tom Czarnota once again was high man with 16 points. The lead in the tightly contested ballgame changed hands some 10 times, but when the final buzzer went off the Maroons were ahead 53-48. The Indians had a great height advantage, but the fouling out of their two big guns” cost them valuable assistance in the final minutes. In their next encounter the Maroons played host to and whipped New Britain High 78-46. The game was a scoring fest for the Bulldogs as four men hit double figures. Czarnota had 18, Reilly and Chafin 15 each and Perrone 11. The Bulldogs were too much for the Hurricanes in all departments. Coach Bazzano’s boys committed only five personal fouls during the whole game, thus giving New Britain but 4 points at the free throw line. Coach Bazzano emptied his entire bench in the final period, giving some of the reserves valuable experience. Norwich Free Academy came to town and handed the Maroons their first setback. The Acads beat the Bulldogs 58-54 in overtime. Both teams showed tremendous defenses as the score- board registered 4-2 at the end of the first period and 22-19 at the half in favor of the Bulldogs. Going into the final period the Maroons had a 39-31 edge but some fine Norwich shooting tied the score 50 all at the end of regulation time. After the score had been tied 54 all midway through the overtime period, Norwich forged ahead 58-54 on charity shots; and the game ended that way. The Bulldogs bounded back in their next game and beat New London 95-60. The Maroons sank a spectacular 55 per cent of their shots. Czarnota and Perrone shared scoring honors with 17 each. Chafin collected 13 and Reilly 11. Mort” Pinchera, playing a fine game, also collected 11 points. The thing which kept Bulkeley from scoring 100 points was the freeze employed by New London. Coach Lou Bazzano was once again able to empty his entire bench in this game. In their first appearance at the Trinity Field House the Maroons lost a thriller to Weaver High 58-54. Joe Reilly was high man with 15 points. Czarnota and Chafin had 11 apiece. The big factor in this game was Weaver’s rebounding ability. The Beavers were too strong for the shorter Maroons under the boards. Weaver scored many of its points by rebounding and then throwing them up again. The Bulldogs made it two in a row over Manchester High as they beat the Indians 75-65. Once again Czar¬ nota and Perrone were high scorers with 17 points apiece. This game was much like the two teams’ first per¬ formance, the lead being hotly contested. Man¬ chester, a newcomer to the Bulkeley schedule, showed that they are going to be great rivals for the Bulkeley boys in future years. The Maroons lost their second overtime game of the season and their second fieldhouse start to H.P.H.S. 53-5L George Zalucki’s one hand push shot tied the score at 51-all in the fading minutes of the game. It was this same Zalucki whose shot in overtime handed the Maroons their fifth consecutive loss to Hartford. The Bulldogs, although shorter than the Owls, grabbed the majority of rebounds with Sophomore Per¬ rone leading. Little Joe Reilly was high man for Bulkeley with 17 points. After having lost the tough one to H.P.H.S. the Maroons came home and whipped Hall High 68-60. Bulkeley worked a beautiful defense as they kept the Westerners from coming inside. Hall was forced to bomb from the outside all night. The Warrior’s ace Ray Moore was kept to 20 points as Reilly tailed him the whole game. Precourt was high man for Bulkeley scoring 15 points. The whole squad shot a superb 48% as all five starters hit double figures. The Bulldogs had fallen far behind Weaver in their second encounter at the Fieldhouse and then it hap¬ pened! The Maroons trailed by 12 at the end of the third period; and with less than 2 minutes to go they were still down by 11 points. After Weaver’s lead was cut to four points, Saul E. Tom goes up for two! ” That soft one-hander” Bulkeley Foils HPHS Tide Bid That’s our Joe” Chafin, with 55 seconds to go, sank two foul shots; Reilly stole a pass-in and gave it to Chafin who hooped in the tying deuce. He was fouled on the play, missed the free throw, got his hands on the loose ball, and dropped in a pretty hook shot putting the Maroons ahead 56-54 with 14 seconds to go. The Beavers were unable to work their magic and the Bulldogs went on to victory. A Hollywood production couldn’t have been more thrilling as the Quintet showed a lot of heart and fight. East Hartford dropped another one to the Maroons as Bulkeley whipped the Hornets 82-47. Little Joe Reilly had his best night scoring 23 points. Reilly was superb as he hit for 56% from the floor and 80% from the free-throw line. Ailing Czarnota had 13. Saul Chafin rebounded superbly grabbing 19 off the boards and dropping in 10 points. John Precourt, too, dropped in 10. Seven other Maroons hit the scoring column. The Quintet then travelled to New London and trounced the Whalers 71-61. The lead changed hands 8 times in the first two periods, but the Maroons then found themselves and went the rest of the game undisturbed. The biggest threat came with 5:10 left in the final period, but the Bulldogs were able to weather the storm. At this time the Whalers pulled to within three points of them, Joe Reilly had another great night pouring in 24 points. Four of the Maroons hit double figures. The squad was 19 out of 23 at the charity stripe. Norwich Free Academy played host to the Maroons and beat them 68-66. The Maroons romped to an early 18-15 lead at the end of the first period but were unable to cope with the bigger downstaters.” The two big guns for Bulkeley were Perrone with 19 and Reilly with 17. Bulkeley came to within one point of the Home squad, but Szostak of Norwich started popping in his jump shots to put the Acads out in front where they stayed. Hartford High’s five game winning streak over Bulkeley came to an end as the Maroons beat the Owls 60-52. The Bulldog big guns” were Czarnota, Reilly and Chafin with 22, 18, and 14 in that order. The Owls were unable to get started against Bulkeley, as they were hard pressed all night. It was a great Field- house showing for the Bazzano-men. Chafin and Czar¬ nota combined to grab a majority of the rebounds. The Southenders were a happy crew as they ended the Owl domination. The defeat put the damper on H.P.H.S.’s tourney hopes and also created a three-way tie for the city title. The Bulkeley Bulldogs closed out the regular season by bombing their way to victory over New Britain High. The Maroons tallied 68 points against 43 for the Hur¬ ricanes. Tom Czarnota was high man hitting for 18 points. Coach Bazzano emptied his whole bench of reserves in the last quarter, as the game started to turn into a rout. 119 TOURNAMENT Lou Bazzano lead his charges into the New Haven Arena for the third time, in as many years of coaching, on February 21, 1956. The Bulldogs tangled with a weak Milford High squad and won setting a tournament record 90-66, The Bulldogs, still maintaining sharp shooting eyes, hit for 45 per cent of their shots. The Milford squad was never in contention, as Bulkeley was able to break through their zone defense and score continually. Saul Chafin and Tom Czarnota were the big men under the boards. The duo grabbed nearly all the rebounds under both boards. Czarnota and Precourt were high men in the scoring column with 20 and 21 respectively. Having passed their first tourney test in great style, the Maroons moved into the quarter-finals. Their opponent in this game was none other than Norwich Free Academy. NFA had beaten the Maroons twice in the regular season. In this post-season game, how¬ ever, the Bulldogs came out on top with an overtime 71-67 win. It looked as though Norwich was once again on its way to victory as they dominated play in the first half. In the second half the Maroons started that drive which was to be the deciding factor. They came from behind and tied the score, to put the game into overtime. In the overtime, the Maroons controlled the ball until, with 15 seconds left, Chafin put in a deadly left-handed hook. Czarnota was fouled under the boards and sank two to insure the victory. Riding high after having whipped N.F.A., the Maroons took on Manchester, a team they had beaten twice in the regular season. The Chafin Shoots . Bulkeley Wins r Ed snares a rebound’ BASKETBALL Indians would, however, have no part of a third loss as they won 68-56. Similar to their first two encounters, this was a real battle all the way with Bulkeley having a four-point edge at half-time. In the beginning of the second half it looked as though Bulkeley was going to rout M.H.S. as they opened up an 8-point lead. Man¬ chester, however, kept pressing and was ahead by one at the 3-quarter mark and twelve at the finish. The score would have been much closer had it not been for the Maroons’ pressing so close in the last few minutes. Carmen Perrone was high man for Bulkeley with 18; Czar” was next with 14. Although the Bulldogs lost the game, there was no doubt in the minds of the Arena fans that the South-end squad had done a re¬ markable job all season and in the tourney. Coach Bazzano and his team have won the respect and admiration of fans throughout the state. This last game saw several careers come to an end. Tom Czarnota, an Iron-hearted” guy will be deeply missed. Saul Chafin, the clutch kid, leaves Bulkeley still talking about his miraculous Weaver dream hook.” Johnny Precourt, a model sportsman and tremendously val¬ uable ballplayer, will leave Bulkeley minus one of the greatest shots in its basketball history. Tony Pinchera, although injured, still played some great ball; a harder worker could never be found. Although they weren’t state champs, the Maroons were the cham¬ pions in the hearts of all B.H.S. fans, this ’55-’56 season.

Captain Marshall moves up! ” Coach Flash Atlin had one of his better cross-country seasons this year as the Maroon hill and dalers won 4 and lost 2 in dual meets. In their first encounter of the season the jaunters” whipped Hall High 23-32. Captain Ron Marshall led the B.H.S. pacers, placing second. Sal Martelle, Steve Driggers, and Don Fosberg finished third, fourth, sixth and seventh, respectively. The Bulldogs in their second meet were smng badly by the East Hartford Hornets. Running on the Easterners’ home grounds the Maroons lost 15-40. The Bulkeley runners were not able to adapt themselves to the tricky East Hartford course. Dick Bailey was the best man for Bulkeley, placing sixth. Driggers and Doolittle were the other two Maroons, placing in the top ten. Hoping to get back in the winning column again, the Atlinmen came back home to Goodwin Park to beat Woodrow Wilson High 21-34. Marshall, back in form once again, placed second with promising Dick Bailey a close third. Sal Martelle followed Bailey across the finish line in fourth position. Two other promising B.H.S. runners, Driggers and Doolittle, placed sixth and seventh to round out the Bulkeley scoring pattern. Interrupting their dual meet schedule the Maroon Harriers participated in the annual district meet at Keney Park. The Bulkeley contingent captured fourth place as a team. Bulkeley runners finishing in the scoring column were Marshall, twelfth; Martelle, thirteenth; and Bailey, fourteenth. In a triangular meet (which is scored as two dual meets) the Flashmen disposed of two opponents, Norwich and Windham 26-29 and 19-36. In the close battle with Norwich Dick Bailey placed second, and Captain Marshall was third. Martelle and Doolittle placed fifth and sixth, respectively. A newcomer to the squad, Dick McKeon, placed in the scoring column, capturing tenth place. In the Windham scoring Dick Bailey captured first place. Marshall was second with Martelle, Doolittle and McKeon taking the fourth, fifth and sixth spots, respectively. Manchester. High slammed the winning door” in the faces of the Bulkeley Harriers trouncing the jaunters” 15-40. The only Bulldogs placing in the top ten were Bailey in sixth position and Martelle capturing the number nine spot. Indeed Flash Atlin should be proud of his Harriers’ ’55 showing. The outlook for the future is also bright. The return of several promising juniors indicates that next year’s team could develop into a crack squad. One sad note, of course, is the graduation of Captain Ronnie Marshall. Ronnie had a spectacular cross¬ country career here at Bulkeley, one in which he has earned for his school, his coach, and himself great credit.

Murr Track at Bulkeley is one of the unheralded, unsupported, and unattended spc Through the years, the harmony and close cooperation between coach and pla has been openly shown. This year the team, lacking experience and manpower, m aged to tie their opponent in one of their nine meets. In the others they w defeated. Although the team’s scoring and winning was held to a minimum, spo manship was their chief goal. Throughout all their meets, they emphasized spo manship on the field and provided enjoyment for the spectators. Star senior j formers were Captain Rich McKeon, Ted Sudal, Hubert Putnam, Vin Giuliano, Bob Holt. In the first encounter of the year, the Interscholastic Sectional Meet at UCc Bulkeley placed seventh of the ten teams competing. Highlight of the meet the exceptional performance of Rich McKeon. He took first place in the 300 y dash setting a meet record of 34 seconds, and placed third in the broad jump. In the CIAC indoor meet at Storrs, McKeon again was superb scoring all Bulkeley’s points. Ted Sudal placed fifth in the shot put and Rich McKeon sec in the 300 yard dash as Bulkeley entered the Greater Hartford Invitation Mee the State Armory. The Relay team spearheaded by Hubert Putnam took fifth pi The biggest track event was the Greater Hartford Track Meet on Memorial 1 at Trinity field.

Murray, R. Cunning¬ ham, Mr. Allen. As the familiar cry of play ball’’ heralded in another season of America’s favorite pastime, the Bulkeley Bulldogs under the able mentorship of coaches Babe Allen and Lou Bazzano prepared for competition with some very tough opponents. While racking up a fine 7-6 record they captured the City Title by sending Hartford and Weaver down to defeat in each of two games with both teams. Bob Carlson on the mound, Manny Scata in center and Joe Meucci in left, and Joe Reiley at third and occasionaly on the mound added experience and zest to the squad. A few high spots of the year were Bob Carlson’s two hit shutout over Norwich and his 9-0 rout over Weaver and the 6-0 defeat over the Owls to give Bob three straight shutouts and a total of 28 scoreless innings. Throughout the entire year Captain Bob Carlson playing exceptional ball both on the pitching mound and at the plate set the pace as the senior stars gave their all to help make this year’s team one of the finest and most capable squads in Bulkeley’s history. The entire team and the coaches are to be commended on their tireless effort and the fine sportsmanship they have shown this season.

Bulkeley ' s first golf match of the 57” season took place at Goodwin Park, their home course. Fast Hartford, having played two previous matches whipped the Maroon and White, 15-3. The Maroons won their second match of the year at Stanley Golf Course. Pete Sposito, Bob Knowles, Jack Kelley and Tim Cronin all played well. Bulkelcy trampled 9 ' to 8VT Wethersfield was the next match for the Maroons. Wethersfield, having four veterans, bested the Ma¬ roons 101 2 to 7Y . Paul Jamieson led Fast Hartford to their second victory over the Bulkelcy golf team at the East Hartford Country Club. The score was 11 to 7 in favor of the Hornets. Sonny Russo, on becoming eligible, led his team to a well-deserved victory over Newington on May 20. He carded a 75 at Goodwin Golf Course. Pete Sposito, Timmy Cronin and Bob Knowles added to this win. Weaver High School was the next victim to fall in the winning path of the Maroon golfers. Sonny Russo had a fine 76 to lead Bulkeley once again. Tim Cronin, Pete Sposito and Bob Knowles also played fine rounds to enable us to win 18-0. Wethersfield golf team ended our winning streak at two. Although Sonny Russo carded a 77, we were overhauled 15-3. 10 1 -) to iy 2 was the next score, but, this time it was In Bulkeley’s favor. Because of Sonny Russo’s fine leadership, the Maroons whipped New Britain High, as he had a round of 73. Tim Cronin also had a fine round as he shot a 77 at Goodwin Park. Bulkeley made it two straight wins once again by shellacking Weaver l6l 2 t0 tyi- Bob Knowles, Tim Cronin, Pete Sposito and Sonny Russo all sh ot fine golf. In its last match of the regular season, Bulkeley tied the Newington golf team 9-9. Sonny Russo and Pete Sposito played well but not well enough to win. On June 3 Bulkeley’s golf team went to Brooklawn Country Club for the annual State Golf Champion¬ ships. As a team, we placed 12 in a field of 24. Bulkeley’s record at the end of this years com¬ petition was 5-4-1. This is a terrific record consider¬ ing Sonny Russo was the only senior. The other three team members were all freshmen. Mr. Daly, our faithful coach, has a bright future to gaze into. Crushin ' Cronin Pete Putts’’ Left to right: D. Parker, J. Reynolds, L. Mytch, J. Pazdar, Mr. Romano. Goodwin Park courts were the scene for Bulkeley’s first tennis match on May 6. Jack Reynolds, John Pazdar and Len Mytch lost in the singles after a tough fight. John Pazdar, Jim Griffith, Don Parker and Mike Griffith worked hard in the doubles but lost again. Even though they lost their first match they gained valuable experience. The Weaver raquet squad handed the Bulkeley tennis team its second lose by a 5-0 defeat on a Tuesday afternoon, May 7. Romano ' s team was up against stiff competition and he quoted after the match, We’re not talking about that one, nor will If we be talking about any further matches.” .. ic ■ s for the kih- On May 10, Bulkeley was defeated, for the third ytc through ar time, by St. Thomas Seminary. Captain Jack Reynolds Pazdar ' s powerful backhand. was the only winner for Bulkeley defeating St. Thomas’s Palber, a college sophomore, 6-1, 0-6, 6-4. Also playing for Bulkeley against the powerful St. Thomas team were Lenny Mytch, John Reynolds and Don Parker. Coach Romano’s hard work with his new varsity team finally paid off on May 28. It was a decisive 4 to 1 victory as the Bulkeley squad outclassed their opponent on their own court for their first win of the year. Captain Jack Reynolds and John Pazdar led the team by winning their single and their combina¬ tion for a double win. The Romanomen lost to Weaver again on Friday, May 24. They played at Goodwin Park and the final score was 6-0. Even though the boys lost they had the sbirit of the winning team. At the next match, June 2, Manchester challenged the Bulkeley Netmen. Since the match was hampered by inclement weather, Manchester triumphed over Bulkeley 5-0. The poor outcome of the match was certainly not indicative of the spirit of sportsman¬ ship which the boys showed both in entering the game and in defeat. The Bulkeley Courtnjen lost a close one to East Hartford, by losing 3-2. They made a remarkable comeback by after losing all three single matches, to win both doubles. The loss was partly due to the fact that the team’s number one man, Jack Reynolds was absent. Scoring for Bulkeley were Mytch, Pazdar, Griffith and Parker. This year’s tennis team which consisted of Jack Reynolds, John Pazdar, Don Parker, Lenny Mytch, Jim Griffith, Mike Griffin was new to varsity play.
