IN MEMORIAM MR. DALY 1965 saw the passing of a devoted educator and long-time friend of Bulkeley students, Mr. Robert T. Daly. Mr. Daly, who was associated with Bulkeley since its opening in 1928, has influenced generations of students by his quiet wit and extensive knowledge of the foreign languages. Besides serving as chairman of the Language Department for the past three years, Mr. Daly made many other contributions to Bulkeley during his twenty-seven year association with the school. During this time he also held the positions of golf coach, track coach, and assistant swimming coach. The Class of 1965 will always retain many memories of their Bulkeley career. Among their most cherished must be those of their association with Mr. Robert T. Daly: teacher, gentleman, and friend. 5

PREFACE A high school diploma is regarded by many as a passport to freedom. Indeed, in many ways, it is. Whether the path of life leads to higher education or to the world of business, each member of the Class of 1965 will have the responsibility for his future squarely on his own shoulders. It was with this fact in mind that the editorial board of the 1965 Maple Leaves chose as the theme of this year’s classbook Quo Vadis: Where Are You Going? In our age of technological advancement, the range of career opportunities open to the qualified man or woman is so vast as to be staggering. Goverment, economics, and education, as well as science will realize a new importance in the future of our great coun¬ try, and the members of the Class of 1965 will have a part in that ex¬ citing future. To meet this challenge, each of us needs a complete education, encom¬ passing sports, social life, and other extracurricular activities as well as classroom academics. The last four years have started us toward this goal, and no matter what the next step is, the.memories of our Bulkeley career will always be with us. We on the classbook boards have tried to pack a few of these memories between the covers of this book. We hope that the socials section will remind you of those wonderful evenings with that “special someone”, and that the sports and club sections will bring to mind the fun out of the classroom as well as in. For helping to capture the best of four years, many people deserve special plaudits. I wish to extend our thanks to Delmar Printing Company and to their local representative, Mr. Paul Nelson; and to Loring Studios for their excellent photographic coverage of school events. A great deal of credit must go to Miss Rita B. Antaya and Mrs. Jean Doerschuck, our faculty advisers, for their advice and support throughout the year. A special note of thanks, too, goes to our excellent art editor, Barbara Bensch, for lending her talents to our cause, and to the typists for their coopera¬ tion. Finally, I wish to thank our principal, Mr. Frederick Bashour, for his encouragement and advice. John J. Kelly Editor 4

DKDH ' ATION Miss Rita B. Antaya We, the Class of 1965, are proud to dedicate our classboolc to Miss Rita B, Antaya who, throughout our years at Bulkeley has proven to be more than a mere instructor, but rather a teacher, in the finest sense of the word. She has also shown herself to be a true friend, whose interest in her pupils goes beyond the classroom into the many trials of adolescent life. It is Miss Antaya who is, in the main, responsible for this classbook, the 1965 Maple Leaves. Her cooperation was typical of her continually helpful atti¬ tude, a facet to which all who know her can attest. Out of gratitude for her wise guidance, friendly interest, and fine example, we, the Class of 1965, take great pleasure in dedicating this classbook to Miss Rita B. Antaya. :: 6
