1 DEDICATION Miss Janet M. Beroth In appreciation for her many years of long and devoted service, the class of 1958 is proud to dedicate its classbook to Miss Beroth. She has come to be known and esteemed for her integrity and forthrightness. Miss Beroth’s out¬ standing qualities of promptness and neatness shall always be remembered. The class is happy to pay her this well-deserved tribute. 2 DEDICATION Mr. Oswin H. Doolittle The class of 1958 is honored to dedicate its classbook to Mr. Doolittle. During his years at Bulkeley, he has become, not only a respected member of the faculty, but a sincere and loyal friend to the students. He has always given his time wholeheartedly to the service of the school. In gratitude for all his work and effort, we are especially pleased to honor him with, this dedication. 3 PREFACE Three or four years ago, we entered Bulkeley and began what would probably be the four most important years of our lives. And now as our high school life draws to an end and we prepare for the advent of separation, for most of us it is the time to recollect such memories that make high school what it really is. But let’s look back at our four magical years—four years of mystery, happiness, challenge, and progress. For each one of us our years at BHS take on different meanings: memories aroused that are peculiarly our own, decisions made which have changed the course before us; but for all of us Bulkeley holds one common meaning— opportunity. Here we have enjoyed the opportunity to grasp the full significance of education, to broaden our view of life and the world through our contact with people representing vastly different back¬ grounds. And even more important an opportunity to study under the light of freedom. And someday, many miles from BHS, and umpteen years from now, we hope that you will sit down and leaf through the ’58 Maple Leaves and smile and sigh as a panorama of memories floats before your eyes. Dance again under the enchantment of our Senior Re¬ ception; feel the tension as the curtain rises on Torch Nite; feel proud of the first basketball team in BHS history to qualify for the New England tourney; panic again as you forget your seat number in 222 and your excuse for being tardy; wonder how you got that A on the theme you wrote in ten minutes. All these memories and so many others seem unforgettable, yet can so easily be lost if we allow them to slip from our minds. We hope that the ’58 edition of Maple Leaves will always bring back the best years of our lives.” As the theme of our classbook, we have chosen Memories Are Made of This.” On behalf of the Editorial Board, I should like to extend our personal thanks to our advisors, Miss Shea and Mrs. Doerschuck, whose guidance and direction has been invaluable in publishing Maple Leaves; to Mr. McElney and the Business Board; to Miss Saf- ford and her talented Art Board; to the typists for their wonderful cooperation. Our thanks also to Mr. Mackimmie, Mr. Bashour and the office staff who gave us much valuable advice and greatly facili¬ tated our work. In closing, my sincere thanks to Mr. Little of Loring Studios whose complete coverage of BHS events was excellent, and to O’Toole Printers, who patiently waited while our deadlines came and went. 4 Dedication. 2 Preface . 4 Administration . 6 Faculty . 9 Seniors . 15 Clubs . 73 Sports . 97 Activities .113 Advertisements .123 First row — Dr. Vincent Cenci, Mrs. Madelyn Neumann, Mr. Lewis Fox.

Mackimmie, Jr. Principal Principals as fine as Mr. Mackimmie are hard to find. To the students of Bul- keley, he has constantly given his utmost attention and consideration. His fair judg¬ ment and sound advice have gained the respect of many. As you open your 1958 MAPLE LEAVES for the first time and glance through its pages, lo oking eagerly for the pictures and accounts of those events which to you repre¬ sent the highlights of your high school career, you will have just finished your Class Night program and will be looking forward to participating in your final appearance as a Bulkeley student at your Graduation Exercises. I am sure that, in the midst of these exciting activities, your initial reaction to your classbook will be a feeling of tre¬ mendous pride that you have been privileged to be a part of Bulkeley High School. It is my hope that throughout your life you will frequently return to the pages of your copy of MAPLE LEAVES and find again this same sense of pride in the accomplishments of your school and in the things for which it stands. I assure you that I am equally proud that I have the privilege of being your principal. I am grateful to your editorial board for giving me this opportunity for a last word to you as members of the school and to extend my good wishes for the future. Your high school days have been eventful and, on the whole, successful ones. This has been particularly true of your busy senior year. You have witnessed and taken part in a number of firsts. You saw sputnik, went to Boston, attended the Fellows Assembly, and were the first senior class to have its academic achievement as a group evalu¬ ated. All of these items brought a uniqueness to your asso¬ ciations with Bulkeley and to the contributions that you have made to your school. Yet they are overshadowed by the influence of the enduring, fundamental values that a Bulkeley education has given you. You have benefited from association with great teachers, from the knowledge gained from a sound curriculum, and from the experience of liv¬ ing together with a large group of typical teenagers. You are a product of a comprehensive high school and as such represent the American dream of educational op¬ portunity for all. As you must be aware, this concept of education is being currently attacked by many people. This places a heavy responsibility on you, for in your hands lies the future course of our secondary education. You will have a large part in determining whether the type of opportunities you have had will continue to be available to all American youth. If your immediate predecessors, you, and the present undergraduates measure up, the future of universal secondary education will be secure. The extent to which you are successful in college, your effectiveness as producers in business and industry, the wholesomeness of the family life in the homes you establish, the enthusi¬ asm with which you participate in community life, the genuineness of your concern for the welfare of your fellow man, your ability to make wise decisions based on evi¬ dence, and your willingness to stand for what is right — these are areas in which the worth of your education will be tested. You are Bulkeley’s representatives. The school’s reputation stands or falls on your works. Finally, I should like to express again, as I have done so frequently during my talks to you, my deep appreciation of your contributions to Bulkeley High School. You have furnished the school with loyal, cooperative leadership. You should understand that your influence is a permanent thing and that something of you becomes forever a part of your school. I should also like to stress the faculty’s and my own continuing, personal interest in each of you. As you become alumni, always bear in mind that Bulkeley is your school and that it stands ready to serve you in any way that it can. I wish you, as I have wished each class I have had the honor of calling mine, Godspeed, confident that you will bring credit to your parents, your teachers, and Bulkeley High School. Alexander A. Mackimmie, Jr., Principal 7 MRS. DOROTHY W. PIETRALLO Dean of Girls Mrs. Pietrallo, very much ad¬ mired by the entire student body, is never too busy to listen to our prob¬ lems. Her sincerity and deep con¬ cern for us will not soon be for¬ gotten. MR. FREDERICK T. BASHOUR Vice-Principal Being disciplinarian is a difficult and sometimes tedious job. But Mr. Bashour is well qualified. Those of us who have not come in contact with him in a business capacity know him as a friendly and helpful friend. 8 Seated — Mr. Merrill Dooey, Miss Janet Beroth, Mr. J.

Since our star performers had graduated, there were to be many new faces appearing throughout the lineup. This would necessitate the shifting of our few experienced players to new positions, and it was evident that there were to be numerous further changes as the season progressed. Offensively, our major handicap was to be our lack of an experienced broken-field runner. All of our backs, unfortunately, lacked the real speed and cutting ability that marks the exceptional runner. Time and time again, as the movies of our games would irre¬ futably prove, our line would break free a runner, only to have him swamped by our opponents’ sec¬ ondary. Besides this, our defense would also have its trouble. Their major problem was to be lack of co¬ ordination, due to our team’s ever reappearing “bete noire” — inexperience. The players were unfamiliar with the intimate defense alignments which often spell the difference between success and defeat. Co¬ captains Bob Juliano and Joe Murphy, along with linemen Carl Carbone Ralph Presutti, Dick Madden, and the rest, were in for a lot of work under the watchful eye of line-coach Ed Korisky. In their first game, our Bulldogs faced a vastly superior Hillhouse team. The boys from the Elm City, with the added advantage of a previous start, simply overwhelmed us as they ground out 234 yards over the turf enroute to a 31-0 massacre. The middle of our defensive line held up well throughout the lop¬ sided battle, but the fleetfooted Academics simply outran us around the ends. Since our game with the Norwich Wildcats was cancelled on account of the Asiatic Flu, after a two week layoff we journeyed across the river to East Hartford for our next game. The deciding factor in this contest was our weak offense. Our backs were never able to penetrate Hornet territory — the closest they were able to drive being to our own 48 yard line in the waning minutes of the game. Our defense, using a nine-man line, was able to hold Jackson and Company scoreless throughout the initial half; but in the final periods of the game, the Hornets, work¬ ing from a single wing, really broke loose and when the final gun sounded the scoreboard read: East Hart¬ ford 26 — Bulkeley 0. Our next game, with Hartford Public High School, was rained out nd rescheduled for later in the sea¬ son. Thus, after another two week layoff, we met Wilbur Cross. Although they had to play this game in the midst of a driving rainstorm and in front of a handful of soaked spectators, the teams battled it out nevertheless. It was in this game that the long awaited coalescence of the individual players of our team into a spirited unity took place. Never again for a single moment was our team to stop fighting with all it had for a victory; although at times the outlook was go¬ ing to appear pretty dismal. The soaked turf and muddy ball, however, beat us, for we fumbled away our first scoring opportunity of the year on the Gov¬ ernors’ 7 yard line early in the first period. After this, things continued to go wrong, and the final score was 13-0 in favor of the boys from New Haven. Our first City Series game came the following week and against Weaver. Since we were the defending champions, we were really out to win this one. The Beavers drew first blood as they connected on a pass play to make it 6-0. Immediately afterwards, early in the second quarter, quarterback Paul Gionfriddo drove over to deadlock the score, and incidentally in doing so scored our first points of the year. The score remained 6-6 until the final period when an¬ other successful serial by the Northenders made it 12-6. However, in the closing minutes of the game, Don Campion, who had switched from end to full¬ back, took a screenpass from Gionfriddo and raced 71 yards for what seemed to be the tying tally. Alas!! This dramatic run was nullified by a clipping penalty and Weaver had won the game 12-6. In this hard- fought contest, our defense held the Beavers to minus two yards on the ground, and this loss must be at¬ tributed to overeagerness. 99 Now, you go right, see? Oh my achin’ back Despite this disheartening defeat, our boys eagerly awaited their next contest, and the following week they met Conard High School to launch a new rivalry. The Chieftains who were CCIL champions, were a good offensive unit, but our Maroon defense really meshed throughout this standoff battle. On three occasions our alert line stopped the West Hartford team’s march, when the latter was within easy reach of our goal line. However, the excellent running of Don Campion and the accurate passing of Paul Gionfriddo did not net a score for us either, and the game ended, a bitterly contested scoreless tie. The already once-postponed Hartford game loomed up ahead of us next. It was essential that we win this one if we were to retain our City Series crown. Throughout the first half, it was nip-and-tuck all the way, with three goal-line fumbles, depriving us of hard-earned touchdowns. However, everything exploded in the second half as the Owls surged ahead to a commanding 25-0 lead. When the Bulldog offense finally started to mesh again, our team drove 67 yards for our touchdown with Ed Goracy carrying for the tally and Bobby Raffalo successfully running the conversion. Unfortunately, the game ended too soon after this for any further additions to our score, and Hartford beat us 25-7. Although the final score certainly gives no indication of the fact, it was anybody’s ball game right up until the end. For if we had not been de¬ prived of those critical first-period scores, we would not have been forced to take the chances that we did and the Owls We’re Cornin ' Through 100 The kick is good!!! A Hornet Gets His Wings Clipped would not have had the opportunity to intercept the three passes which they converted into three of their touchdowns— two directly and one ' a few plays after the interception. On Thanksgiving, our hapless warriors faced the current CDC champions, undoubtedly one of the best teams New Britain b$d molded in many years. The Hurricanes grossly out¬ played us throughout the game, and the outcome was never in doubt. Our one bright offensive drive came in the third quar¬ ter with durable Don Campion providing most of the yard¬ age. A 25-yard toss from Paul Gionfriddo to Mark Buonome set the stage for Don’s scoring smash. Bob Raffalo once again provided the extra point and there the score remained: New Britain 34 — Bulkeley 7. Thus, although on paper the season was rather disappoint¬ ing, we can all leave Bulkeley with the remembrance of how our boys really fought right down to the wire, although things seldom went right for them. For it takes a great deal more courage and perseverance to continue to fight when one’s efforts are seemingly going unrewarded than it does to strive to preserve a winning record. Our coaches and our players certainly are to be commended for the continued spirit and drive they exhibited throughout the season. Shortly after the season came to a close, head coach, Arthur A. Babe Allen, announced his decision to retire as football coach, but said he planned to continue on in his capacity as baseball coach and physical education instructor. With his announcement Babe rang down the curtain on thirty-two years of loyal service to Bulkeley as coach of the long line of athletes that have proudly worn the Maroon and White on the gridiron since the school was established in 1926.

Again, as in past years, our cross country team has had another successful season, winning four of its eight games for a .500 season. Dave Little, a junior, honored the team by making the All State cross country team and by finishing fifth in the annual C.I.A.C. Championship. The Grey (Bull) Hounds opened their season against Conard, which is a brand new rival. Although Bulkeley bowed to Conard (26-30) ; “Flash” Atlin’s well-coached team humiliated East Hartford by a score of 20-40. An outstanding per¬ formance was given by the fleet-footed junior, Dave Little, who streaked around the two and a half mile course in 13 minutes and 12 seconds. Captain Sal Mar¬ telle placed second. Stu Webster, Don Fosberg, and Orrin Ogren also made fine showings. For their next meet the team ventured to New Britain. The boys from the Hardware City easily took Bulkeley by a score of 16-39. The boys, however, showed great spirit and recorded the fastest time of the season. The team with the lowest score wins. Moving back to home ground the Hill and Dalers showed championship form by shellacking Windham High by a score of 17-46. Captain Sal Martelle and Dave Little crossed the finish line hand-in-hand, tying for first place as Orrin Ogren took third. A few days after the fine showing against Wind¬ ham, the Atlinmen edged New London by a score of 27-28. Running without one of the team’s top men, Orrin Ogren, Bulkeley was defeated by Manchester 23-34. Manchester’s top man, Clendaniel, finished first; how¬ ever, our own speedsters Dave Little and Sal Martelle finished third and fourth respectively. Steve Koda and Don Fosberg also made fine showings. The Maroon hill and dalers wound up their season with a triangular meet against Hartford Public and Weaver High at Goodwin Park.

SWIMMING Bob shows his skill The Bulkeley High Swimming Team, under the guidance of coach Flash” Atlin, anticipated a winning season. Hopes were high as the Bullfrogs entered the first meet. Middletown took a close one from Bulkeley in the opening meet. Bob Raffalo and Bob Benny each took a first place in the diving and backstroke, respectively. Tony Anderson added points as he achieved seconds in the 100 and 200 yard free¬ style events. Other scoring frogmen were Leigh, Griffith, Wailkus, Wieder, and Ahearn. After a few more days of practice, the Bulkeley team was anxious to meet the Manchester aquamen. The team was snowed under by a score of 54 to Bulkeley’s 22. Sparking the team were Wailkus, who took first in the 40 yard freestyle; Raffalo, who dove his way to a first place; and backstroker Benny, who won his event. Shortelle also brought credit to Bulkeley by taking a second in the backstroke. Anderson, Leigh, Maher, and Griffith each took a third. The next team on the schedule was the invulnerable Tor- rington, which drowned the Maroon frogmen by a score of 40 to 37. The two individuals gaining a first place were Jim Griffith, in the 100 yard dolphin, and Wes Connelly, in div¬ ing. Anderson achieved a second in the 100 yard freestyle as did Benny in the 100 yard backstroke and Leigh in the 100 yard breast stroke. The team was still looking for its first win as it met Sacred Heart. Les Wieder swam his way to a first place in the dolphin and to a second in the 40 yard freestyle. Benny added more points by taking a first place in the backstroke. Despite these points and others gained by Leigh, Griffith, Ahearn, Connelly, Gonsalves, and Shortelle, the Rulkeley frogmen bowed in defeat. The Bullfrogs then met their arch rival, the incomparable Hartford High team. Bulkeley took only one first place — the freestyle relay. However, Anderson, Wailkus, Raffalo, and Wieder each got a second. In the meantime, Maher, Griffith, and Shortelle, brought back third places. When the score was totaled, Bulkeley had lost 53 to 24. After more days of practice, the winless Bulkeley team was eager to meet Meriden. Tony Anderson made a fine showing by winning the 200 yard freestyle. Ahearn took second place in this event. Leigh swam to a first in the breast stroke, as did Wieder in the dolphin. The final score, however, was Meriden, 44, and Bulkeley, 33. New London was the next team to sink our aquamen. The score was 53 to 23. Leigh again showed his talent by achiev¬ ing a first in the 100 yard breast stroke. Sophomore Jim Grif¬ fith aided the team by capturing a first in the 100 yard dol¬ phin. Other scorers for the day were Raffalo, Wieder, An¬ derson, Benny Gonsalves, and Wailkus. The winless team was anxious to add a victory to its record as it went into battle with Windham. Bulkeley won the free¬ style and the medley. Bob Raffalo showed his diving prowess by tying for a first place. Anderson took a second in the 200 yard freestyle, as did Wailkus in the 40 yard freestyle. Benny, Leigh, Maher, and Wieder, also scored for the Maroons. Although the season was winless for Bulkeley, the swim¬ mers picked up valuable experience by competing with their able foes. Smile, Wes, Smile And away we go! BASKETBALL R. Cunningham, J. Gilbert, M. Shea, C. Perrone, M. Thompson, A. Rudis. Second row: Mr. Karsky, J. Kelly, J. Chmielewski, J. Pagnoni, B. Leghorn, M. Buonome, P. Bieletti, R. Pecott, Mr. Bazzano. As the 1958 basketball season got under way, one major problem confronted the Bulkeley quintet — lack of height. However, to offset this disadvantage, the team had speed, determination, and Carmen Perrone. Perrone, who was to break all scoring records as the season progressed, was the squad’s big plus, but team play was to be their battle cry throughout the season. The Bulldogs opened their season at home by smashing Wethersfield 82-63, and thereby wrecking the latter’s debut into class A” competition. In this game, as in most of their future contests, the Maroons overcame their height disadvantage by hustle and smart positioning for rebounds. Bulkeley led all the way with Carmen hooping 36 points and Butch” Chmielewski adding a hefty 21 to the team’s total. In their next encounter, the Maroons met a grossly outclassed opponent, Leaven¬ worth of Waterbury. It was a romp from the start with Bulkeley tallying 11 points before their opponents scored any. Shooting at a phenomenal 72 per cent, the starters quickly rang up a 29-7 lead in the first quarter before Coach Lou Bazzano mercifully sent in the reserves. The first string sat out the rest of the action and watched the J.V.’s win it 77-50. Bulkeley’s all conquering quintet went on another scoring rampage in their third game, and in the process hung a humiliating 77-54 defeat on the Golden Hurricanes of New Britain. Mike Thompson’s flawless play under the boards, which netted him 22 reb ounds, was the highlight of this one-sided affair which also saw all five starters hit double figures—Perrone leading the way with 20 points and A1 Rudis following with 17. Next, the Bulldogs journeyed to East Hartford for their first away game and won it, 53-36. Shaky ball handling and rushed shooting marred the Bulldogs’ perform¬ ance in this game, but East Hartford’s play was even worse, enabling the Maroons to extend their winning streak to 4. Perrone again led the scoring with 16 and Mike Thompson and Mike Shea followed with 13 and 10, respectively. 106 Carmen Perrone Mike Shea A big CDC game with Norwich Free Academy loomed up next. Since both the teams were undefeated, it promised to be a real battle and Bulkeley s gym couldn t hold half the spectators who clamored for admission. The Maroons, sparked by Carmen’s spectacular 35-point shooting spree, violated all predictions by walloping the Norwich quintet, 83-57 and thus grabbing the C.D.C. lead. In their next contest, the Bulldogs waged a shooting spree with a redhot New London club and when the dust cleared we had won it, 90-84. This fray saw the Bulkeley quintet overcome a 30-18 deficit at the quarter and go on to win. A colossal 41-point performance by Carmen Perrone was the deciding factor, with the dead-eyed senior eclipsing the old city record of 38 in the process. Mike Shea added 14 points to the Maroon total. In their first appearance at the Field House, the Bulldogs met the Weaver Beavers, defending New England Champions. It was a nip-and-tuck battle all the way with the lead changing hands many times throughout the game. Up 15-14 at the quarter, the Maroons dropped behind 29-26 at the half. Bulkeley’s loss of Mike Shea and Mike Thompson due to fouls enabled the Weaver five to forge a commanding 48-33 lead at the third period buzzer, but the final period saw the Maroons battle back to a 52-50 count and then seconds later to a 54-52 score. However, they never could quite catch the white-hot Beavers and the Northenders won it 57-52. The following week saw the Maroons back at the Field House, but facing Hartford this time. It- was another close one. The Bulldogs led at the quarter 12-11, but dropped behind 29-24 at the half. After picking up a little in the third frame, the team only trailed by 3 points at the buzzer, but the fourth period saw the Owls spring to a 48-41 lead. However, Perrone and Gilbert quickly retaliated to deadlock the score and stupify the fans. Alas! the Owls’ Terry, with 27 points for the night, then canned two quick ones to hand Hartford the victory, by a 60-54 margin, and the lead in the City Series and the C.D.C. races. Smarting from these two consecutive City Series defeats, the Bulldogs next journ¬ eyed to the Waterbury Armory for a game with Crosby High. It was Bulkeley all the way and the team chalked up an emphatic 51-40 triumph. 107 Back at the Field House, the Maroons met Weaver for another city thriller. The Beavers jumped off to a 9-4 lead at the quarter and were on the fat end of a 27-18 score at the half. The second half, however, saw Maroon ace, Carmen Perrone, toss in 22 points and his marvelous performance, coupled with Jackie Gilbert’s great defensive play, enabled the team to erase the deficit and nail down a hard-earned 61-54 victory. The scrappy, upset-minded New London five was the team’s next foe and they played their role of champion beaters to the hilt. The Whalers jumped to a 17-7 lead at the quarter, but the Bulldogs narrowed it to 30-26 at the half. The score was deadlocked 36-36 at the third quarter mark, but Bulkeley won it going away, 52-48 with Carmen Perrone once again leading their attack by bagging 21 points. The win under the new system qualified the team for the post season tourney in New Haven as it assured them of at least a winning season. An away game with Norwich confronted the Bulldogs next, but the team should have stayed home! A special defense which limited Carmen Perrone to only 14 points—he was eclipsed by a teammate, Mike Thompson with 18, for the first time of the season—enabled the Norwich five to pin a decisive 71-56 defeat upon the Maroons. A solid team effort by the Bulldogs enabled them to defeat Hartford High in their next game by a 64-51 margin. Playing to a capacity crowd, the Maroons gave their best performance of the year by shooting an astound¬ ing 60 per cent from the floor and 68 per cent from the charity stripe. Back in familiar territory, Perrone once again led the offense by pouring in 18 points. The win knotted the City Series in a 3-way tie as each team split with both others. East Hartford was the team’s next opponent and the aroused Bulldog quintet gave them a sound drubbing by winning, 76-53. It was close for three periods, but a spectacular last period spurt thrust the Maroons well ahead at the final buzzer. Mike Thompson led the way with 17 points and Jackie Gilbert followed with 16. Carmen, suffering from a severe head cold, was only able to can 13. Jack tries for two. The Big Stretch. Next, the team faced New Britain in what turned out to be a surprisingly close game. Bulkeley lead by quarterly scores of 18-16, 29-24, and 38-33, but in the final period, the Golden Hurricanes, by dint of some spectacular shooting managed to tie it up 50-50 with a minute to play. Some fine clutch play¬ ing by Carmen Perrone, however, saved the day and the Maroons won it 54-52. This hard-earned victory left the C.D.C. race dead-locked with Bulkeley, Hartford, and Norwich all sporting identical 9-3 records for conference play. Our hustling Maroons next journeyed to Water- bury to face Crosby. It was never a contest with the Bulldogs easily overpowering the Naugatuck Valley champs, 55-48. A collapsing defense by Bulkeley kept the old Ivy’s leading scorer, Carl Spencer, well in check while Maroon ace Carmen Perrone poured in 31 points to score over half of his team’s points. The season ended as it had begun with the Maroons beating Wethers¬ field. However, this contest was much more of a battle since Wethersfield was a greatly improved ball club. After leading with quarterly scores of 13-12, 24-10, and 36-30, the Bulldogs got quite a scare in the final period as Wethersfield cut the gap to 41-39. However by employing ball control to slow down the action, the Maroons staved off the onslaught and won it going away, 49-39. Perrone once again led the shooting by swishing 18 points. Coach Lou Bazzano led his great team into the New Haven Arena for their shot at the Class A” title and the boys squared away to meet Bristol High. Seven quick points by A1 Rudis showed the Maroons out front and they led, 18-14 at the quarter. They maintained that lead, 30-26 at the half but then their attack really started to roll. Four qui ck jumpshots by Rudis, coupled with two by Gilbert, and another by Perrone, broke the game wide open at the start of the third period and the issue was never again in doubt. This all important victory was the result of a well-balanced attack with Rudis hitting 17 points, Thompson and Gilbert 15, and Perrone 12. The next game promised to be a dilly! Facing the Maroons was Bassick High, a very strong squad who had entered the tournament rated second. The powerful Lions really roared throughout the first half as they hopped ahead 36-25 at the buzzer. However, the Bulldogs came alive as they blazed a trail throughout the rest of the game enroute to a 58-49 upset. By a tremendous defensive performance, in which they cleared both the offensive and defensive boards, the Maroons held the Bridgeport club to only 13 points in the second half while they, paced by Gilbert and Perrone with 16 and 15 points, respectively, tossed in 30. This tremendous rally made the victory one of the most dramatic in Bulkeley’s history. Fresh from this great upset, the Bulldogs faced another tough challenge in the persons of a stratospheric Stamford team which boasted two 6 ' 4 goliaths, another at 6 ' 2 , and a fourth at 6 ' 1 —the Maroons’ tall” man was Mike Thompson at 6 ' 1 . The Stamford quintet jumped ahead to a 28-21 lead at the half and it looked as if another Bulkeley team would flounder in the semi-finals. However, after switching to a full court press, the Bulldogs practically drove the downstate team off the court during the second half. With Carmen Perrone raining in 8 of 12 shots in the third period, the Maroons ripped the losers to shreds as they zoomed to a 79-54 romp. Per- rone’s colossal 36-point performance, which set a new tournament record, provided the necessary impetus to get Bulkeley into its first final in the school’s thirty-two year history. Carmen makes it look easy. The team’s opponent in the state championship game was undefeated Wilbur Cross of New Haven. The Bulldogs opened strong by swishing 10 of 18 field goal tries and led 21-15 at the quarter. But then the Governors’ superior height began to take its toll as they were to clear both boards and repeatedly stuff in easy tap-ins. After leading 37-28 at the half, Cross came back and canned their first six tries at the start of the second period, and Bulkeley was finished. The Governors went into their deadly freeze and walked off the floor victors by a 69-50 margin. Although foiled in their shot at the state title, the Bulldogs qualified for the New England Tourna¬ ment to be played in the massive Boston Garden. There were more thrills to come! The Bulldogs played the school’s first New England Tournament game against South Portland of Maine. It was a romp with Bulkeley leading all the way enroute to a 68-48 runaway. A great team effort by the Maroons was the deciding factor as the team hit on 46 per cent of their shots with four of the boys hitting double figures—Rudis dunking 20, Thompson 13, Per¬ rone 12, and Shea 10. Coach Lou Bazzano used a full court press through¬ out the one-sided affair and this was very effective in stymieing the Maine champions’ bid for the title. 109 No pictures, please. Mike Thompson about to change the score. The next game was the big one insofar as we at Bulkeley were concerned. We wanted to avenge that state final loss to Wilbur Cross. The team was up and they entered the game with high hopes. The Bulldogs jumped off to an early lead only to have Cross battle back to a 21-21 half time tie. But then the ax fell! The combina¬ tion of Mike Thompson and Barry Leghorn —the latter a surprise tournament starter— which had been very effective in the re¬ bounding department was broken as Thomp¬ son was benched with four fouls. His loss enabled the taller Cross team to sweep the boards and pull ahead by means of their devastating fast breaks. The final score saw Cross on top 62-44 and Bulkeley’s hopes of the New England title in the dust. Mike shows how it’s done. In the consolation game, Bulkeley faced a fast Westerly squad. At the start it looked as if the Bulldogs, smarting from their loss to Cross, were going to turn the game into a rout as they roared ahead 23-5. But the scrappy Rhode Island champions steadfast¬ ly fought back until, at the close of the third period, they trailed by only two points, 56-54. The lead switched hands several times throughout the final eight minutes un¬ til with thirty seconds to go Bulkeley held only a slim 3 point advantage, 69-66. Two quick steals which culminated in a layup and two foulshots, however, showed Westerly ahead with only eight seconds to go and things looked black indeed for the Maroons! After the team had called time, a diver maneuver enabled them to procure the ball at half court, and Mike Shea flipped the ball in to Carmen who faked to the left and drove to the right, drawing Mike Thompson’s defender to him. As soon as Carmen saw the Westerly player commit himself, he tossed a jump pass to Thompson for an easy layup and Bulkeley had won it, 71-70. A Rudis one hander. An easy two for Butch. Thus Carmen Perrone, whose tremendous playing earned him posts on both the State and New England All-Tourney Teams besides a berth on the All-C.D.C. squad, won one of the Maroon’s greatest victories by a pass rather than a basket or a free throw. A great team player for three years, Perrone proved in the final game of his great schoolboy career that his first thought was for Bulkeley and not for himself. Two other careers also came to a close with the season’s dramatic finish, those of Mike Shea and A1 Rudis. Both these boys had played their hearts out all season long and, although the team did not win either the State or the New England titles, they and the whole team earned high praise and glory for their unfailing spirit and determination. 112 PARENTS’ NIGHT ' Three little maids are we.

The squad is made up entirely of sophomores. Tim Cronin, Pete Sposito, Bob Knowles, Jim Griffith, and Jack Kelly made up the powerful team. Also playing in one match were Jim Johnson and John Harvey. The team, under the guidance of Mr. Robert Daly, opened the season with a victory by whipping Plainville 18-0. In their second game, Bulkeley faced Weaver, scoring another victory, V Vi-lVi- Continuing their winning streak, the fairwaymen defeated Newington 1414-314. By winning their first three matches, the Bulkeleymen proved to be a formidable team. Winning their fourth and fifth matches over East Hartford and Plainville respec¬ tively with terrific scores of 18-0 in both games furthered the perfect record of the team. The Bulkeley golfers registered their first loss by bowing to New Britain 314-1414. Newington, after being defeated by Bulkeley earlier in the year, came back to defeat Bulkeley 8-10. This was the second loss of the season. Bulkeley, facing the East Hartford team for the second time this season, again defeated the Hornets 1014-714. After losing an earlier match to New Britain, the improving Bulkeley linksmen scored a fine 11-7 victory over New Britain. The final game of the season was played with Weaver. The Bulkeley fairwaymen handed Weaver a loss as they had done earlier in the season; this time by a score of 1614-114. The team ended a very successful season winning eight out of ten games. Bulkeley’s trophy for the low average of the year was awarded to Tim Cronin at the final assembly of the year. BASEBALL TEAM BASEBALL It’s a homer — I hope! The coming of spring ushered in the start of the baseball season and the Bulke- ley Bulldogs, under the able mentorship of Babe Allen and Lou Bazzano, readied themselves for another action-packed sea¬ son on the diamond. Led by their co-captains, Jack Schweig- hoffer and Joe Murphy, and sparked by such stalwarts as Rich Wolfe and Jack Gilbert, the team zoomed off to a fine start by walloping Norwich 7-0 in their initial encounter. They then followed through with a 9-8 triumph over New London and a 13-3 slaughter over Weav¬ er, before being set back by Hartford High, 3-1. After snapping back to defeat Wethers- Out!! field 6-5, the Bulldogs lost another heart- breaker to Hartford High, 9-7, despite the fact that they had led 7-1 in the seventh inning. The team then captured a real thriller from New Britain, the CDC leaders, by a 3-1 margin, but were upset by Norwich, 2-1, a few days later. Fighting desperately for a tournament berth, the Maroons then smashed East Hartford on successive days by scores of 9-5 and 5-0, and massacred Weaver 20-4. Alas! The all-important game with New Britain found our boys on the short end of a 4-1 score and with their tournament hopes blasted. Where’s the ball? The team went on to defeat Wethers¬ field 11-5 before dropping their finale to New London, 5-3. Although the point system prevented their fine 9-5 record from qualifying them for the post-season tourney, this was truly a great squad, as is testified by the fact that two of its stars, Jack Schweighoffer and Jack Gilbert, earned all-CDC honors, brought great distinction to themselves and to Bulkeley by their hard work. First row — S. Intagliata, T. Marshall, D. Parker. Second row — Mr. Romano, P. Slattery, J. Pazdar, M. Griffith, R. Yedziniak, L. Mytych. TENNIS The Bulkeley High Tennis Team began practice early in the spring under the able direction of their coach, Mr. Ralph Romano. With the help of three returning lettermen, John Pazdar, Don Parker, and Len Mytych, a fine solid squad was molded for their debut. John Pazdar, Len Mytych, Don Parker, Rich Yed¬ ziniak, Paul Slattery, Sal Intagliata, Mike Griffith and Tom Marshall, all holding varsity berths, faced a stout 12 game roster. On their drenched Goodwin Park courts the Bulldogs opened their season with a discouraging 5-0 shutout by Norwich. The following day the squad journeyed to Bloomfield where they displayed an impressive 4-2 win. First man John Pazdar, captain Len Mytych, and third man Don Parker, led the way scoring early points in the singles. Yedziniak and Pazdar also scored in the doubles. In their next encounter, the squad fought ever-power- ful Weaver. The Northenders walked off with a 5-0 victory on their home courts. In their fourth appearance, the team romped through the singles to register a 3-0 shutout over East Hartford. The first three, Pazdar, Mytych, and Parker, tallied for Bulkeley. While winning the doubles the Bulkeley net- men had two more points washed away by a sudden downpour. Against Newington the team coasted to an easy 5-0 victory. The visitors were outclassed both in the singles and doubles. Scoring for the Maroons were Parker, Mytych, Slattery, Intagliata, Griffith, Pazdar, and Marshall. Once more the racketmen met Norwich in a tough match. It was an enjoyable ride. Norwich remained un¬ defeated for the entire season. Mytych and Pazdar com¬ bined talents in the doubles to score; winding up a 4-1 defeat at the rackets of the Aces. The following contest was a meet with Wethersfield. Here the team suffered a second straight defeat. Slattery and Intagliata prevented a shutout by winning their doubles in the 4-1 upset. Smarting from two consecutive losses the squad swarmed upon Newington to crush them 5-0 in a bril¬ liant encore. The entire varsity attending the match scored. With the season at a 4-4 deadlock the Bulkeley team sought a victory over St. Thomas to give them a win¬ ning record. However, the spirited Maroons were crushed by an older, more experienced crew, 7-0. In a return match with East Hartford, the team’s anticipation was accomplished as they easily defeated the Hornets 4-1. The next game was against Weaver in which the Beavers trimmed the Bulkeley men 6-2. Those scoring for Bulkeley were Mytych and Pazdar in the doubles and Intagliata in the singles. The finale ended in defeat for the fighting Maroon group as they bowed to Manchester 4-1. Parker was the only member to salvage a point. Their season ended with a 5-7 record, but for the Bulkeley High Tennis Team it was a successful year. They were glad to have played, they gained experience concerning their sport, and they also displayed good sportsmanship toward their opponents. Vin goes over. TRACK In the six most important meets of the season the Bulkeley track men toppled Weaver, New London, and Windham, but lost to East Hartford, New Britain, and Conard. Even though Vin Snipas and Don Fosberg placed first in the shotput and discus, and the 440,” respec¬ tively, and Dennis Leigh in the 100 yard dash and second in the half mile, nevertheless Bulkeley lost to East Hartford. This meet showed the team’s weakness which was due to the lack of facilities for prac¬ tice, for they had to give up twenty-seven points in the pole vault, high jump and broad jump. Due to the condition just mentioned, Bulkeley lost their second meet to New Britain, one of the best teams in the state. Again lacking in the pole vault, high jump, and broad jump,. Bulkeley bowed to Conard but not before taking seven of the eleven first places. With the problem of facilities for practice having been remedied with new jumping pits dug on the south side of the school, Bulkeley toppled New London with Vin Snipas taking first place in the high jump, shotput, and discus, and John Chmielewski placing first in the javelin and second in the shotput. With their first taste of victory, Bulkeley completed the season by defeating Windham and Weaver. 1 The starting line.
