PREFACE The halls of Bulkeley have experienced many al¬ terations this year with the ever increasing enroll¬ ment, which now stands about 1,700. These changes influenced the Editorial Board of Maple Leaves to make a slight alteration in this year’s classbook. This slight change is in the theme of the classbook. We have changed the theme from Moments to Remem¬ ber,” which was the theme for the previous year, to Disneyland.” During our years at Bulkeley High School, we have gone through a stage in our lives that we will long remember. With the advice of our counselors we stud¬ ied the subjects which would best acquaint us with the occupations we are planning to enter after high school. At times, because of the difficulties we met, we have felt like the pioneers when they had to fight their way through the frontier. But to help us through our Frontierland we had a well trained faculty to cope with our endless questions and perennial prob¬ lems. Seniors, just before graduation, inevitably cast their thoughts and dreams of the wonderland times they had in their four years at Bulkeley. While the seniors are in thoughts of their Tomorrowland, they think of all the new friends they have made and the teachers who are always there to advise, not only about school work, but also on problems of adjusting to life itself. Now we take a trip into Playland where we watch the different clubs that are in progress. These meet¬ ings are held after school, since being a member of a club is considered an extra-curricular activity. The number of clubs at Bulkeley is growing rapidly every year. In the three dozen or more that now exist there is bound to be one that offers a constructive extra-class activity for everyone. The students at Bulkeley always seem to have the urge to start some¬ thing new. When a group of students is able to con¬ vince a teacher to be their supervisor they are on their way to adding another club to the ever grow¬ ing list. Fantasyland, the most wonderful and beautiful of all the lands in Disneyland, comes to us in the form of our social and recreational activities at Bulkeley. The Snow Frolic, Junior Prom, and Senior Recep¬ tion are just a few of the dances held at Bulkeley each year that add to the beauty of Fantasyland. Adventureland embraces all the athletic events at Bulkeley. It is the most exciting and thrilling phase at Bulkeley. There are a great number of students here who are active in several sports. A larger num¬ ber of loyal students attend the games to support the team, morally and vocally. In contrast to Disneyland’s variety of interests we are unable to conjure a heading describing the ad¬ vertisements in the Maple Leaves. Finally we thought of the name of Scroogeland. The reason for this head¬ ing is that Uncle Scrooge in Disneyland is always trying to save money. In order that we could save money in having this book printed we had to get someone else to defray part of the expense by ad¬ vertisements. To these generous friends we offer our sincere thanks. Since the Supplement covers only senior activities, we thought that the most appropriate title for this section of the book would be Dreamland. We felt that the seniors would cherish these activities most of all in their dreams, from which we obtained the title for this section. We should like to extend our personal thanks to our advisors, Miss Shea and Mrs. Doerschuck, whose guidance and direction have been invaluable in pub¬ lishing Maple Leaves; to Mr. McElney and the Busi¬ ness Board; to Miss Safford, and her talented Art Board; to the typists for their wonderful cooperation. Our thanks also go to Mr. Mackimmie, Mr. Bashour, and the office staff who gave us much valuable advice and greatly facilitated our work. In closing, our sin¬ cere thanks to Mr. Little of Loring Studios whose complete coverage of BHS events was excellent, and to Mr. Brown of O’Toole Printers, who patiently waited while our deadlines came and went. 2
