PREFACE “Our American Heritage” It has been four adventurous years since we seniors first entered Bulkeley High School. During these memorable years, we have made numerous, lasting acquaintances and have enjoyed all that High School life has to offer. As we prepare to graduate and inevitably cast a glance into the future, we express a loyal feeling of regret at leaving our Alma Mater. At Bulkeley, we have laid the foundation on which will build the life we are destined to lead. In the hardships and difficulties which we met, endured, and overcame, we have received guidance from our staff of teachers and coun¬ selors. They have been instrumental in molding our young lives, encouraging and stimulating our interests and aims so that we may attain happiness and be valuable citizens of the community in which we live. Our classbook serves to bring back all the pleasant events and acquain¬ tances of these eventful years. Since the halls of B. H. S. are rich in memory and tradition which we, the Class of 1961, have shared, the Editorial Board widened the scope of inheritance and selected for our classbook theme, Our American Heritage. The Senior Reception, Junior Prom, and the Sno-Frolic, which head the list of our social activities, are a few of the dances held annually at Bulkeley. We will also frequent the ever-crescive clubs that are in progress. These meetings are held after school and constitute extra-curricular activities for the participating student. There is equal opportunity for any student at Bulkeley to join one of these constructive activities. Our American Heritage encompasses the athletic events, the most sensa¬ tional segment at B. H. S. A great many students attend these games in support of the team. The Maple Leaves supplement accommodates only the Senior activities and the spring sports program. In this section we are given a never-to-be-forgot¬ ten picture of our final, most cherished days at Bulkeley. We should like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to our advisers, Miss Antaya and Mrs. Doerschuck, whose guidance and assistance have been invaluable in completing this classbook; to Mr. McElney and the Business Board for so-aptly handling the advertising affairs; to Mrs. Fontane and her fine Art Board; and to the typists for their generous cooperation. Our thanks to Mr. Bashour for his advice in matters relevant to the construction of this book. Also, our thanks to Mr. Little of Loring Studios, whose coverage of activities was superb, and to Mr. Brown of O Toole Printers for calmly sitting out our deadlines. 2

MR. MITCHEL S. IVANOWSKY Vice-Principal DEDICATION Mr. Ivanowsky, formerly a Bulkeley student and teacher, has been recently appointed to the office of Vice-Principal. During his short period of office, he has proved himself to be a strict, yet fair, disciplin¬ arian. We, the Class of 1961, in appreciation of his efforts to develop the moral character of his students, gratefully dedicate our class book to Mr. Mitchel S. Ivanowsky. 4
