Bulkeley High School - Class Yearbook (Hartford, CT)

Text from Pages 1 - 190 of the 1967 volume:

PREFACE On graduation day you receive your high school diploma as record of successfully completing the past four years of your education. Although this certificate is a true accomplishment academically, it also holds the memories of your high school career. With this idea in mind and the fact that this past September of 1966 marked the fortieth anniversary of the opening of Bulkeley in 1926, the editorial board of the 1967 MAPLE LEAVES chose as this year ' s classbook theme Tradition . Bulkeley ' s tradition, rich in prosperity, is one thing of which all loyal Bulkeley students should be proud. From the time we enter Bulkeley as freshman until the time we leave as young men and women, we are conscious of Bulkeley Tradition and well we should be. By using tradition as our theme, we trust that we have retained for you a few of those precious memories. We hope that the section dividers will touch upon your ideas of tradition, that the social section will remind you of those wonderful evenings with that special someone and that the sports and clubs sections will restore the fun out of the classroom as well as in. It takes many people in an expensive publication such as the MAPLE LEAVES. At this time I would like to take the opportunity to extend our deepest gratitude and thanks to Delmar Printing Company, who arranged and published our book; to Mr. Paul Nelson, our local Delmar representative; to Loring Studios for the excellent pictorial coverage; to our two invaluable faculty advisors, Miss Rita B. Antaya and Mrs. Jean S. Doerschuck, for their guidance and advice throughout the year; to our art editor, Joanne Stanavige, for contributing her superb talents; to the typists for their time and assistance; and finally to Mr. Frederick T. Bashour, our principal, for his cooperation, encouragement and advice. Richard Aram Arzoomanian Editor 2 Astronauts Grissom, White, and Chaffee Since the beginning of the Space Age in 1956, the U. S. has made giant strides in space exploration. The U. S. has successfully completed sixteen manned space flights with relatively few mishaps. Because of the con¬ tinued good luck on our space flights, the American people began to expect the safety of our astronauts. Because of this public con¬ fidence, the tragedy that occurred on Jan¬ uary 27, 1967 at 6:31 P.M. was a rude awake¬ ning for the American People. In a simulated launch, three astronauts were awaiting final countdown when a fire suddenly started. The fire swept thru the cabin of the capsule with such terrifying speed that any escape attempt was futile. This tragic accident snuffed out the lives of three brave men, Lt. Col. Edward White, 36, Lt. Col. Virgil Grissom, 40, and Lt. Commander Roger Chaffee, 31. The long-settled fears of an over confident public were drastically realized. The supreme sacrifice of these men should not be a black mark on American history. The tragedy of their deaths should serve as a stimulant to American achievements in space and also as a reminder of the dedication and service of our citizens for the United States. 3 DEDICATION Mrs. Mildred D. Fontane We, the Class of 1967, are pleased to dedicate our Classbook to Mrs. Mildred D. Fontane, a person whose sincere concern for others, friendly manner, and devoted application to her work are fine examples for which we may strive. She has also demonstrated that she is a true friend in addition to being an instructive art teacher. It is Mrs. Fontane who is responsible for much of the scenery and settings used in the various extra curricular activities of the school, even though this is not one of her required duties. For her helpful attitude, wise guidance, and the afore mentioned qualities, we, the Class of 1967, are justly proud in saluting Mrs. Mildred D. Fontane. 4 DEDICATION Mr. Mrs. Charles 0. Bierkan It is with pride that we, the Class of 1967 dedicate our classbook to Mr. Mrs. Charles O. Bierkan. A conscientious and hard working couple, the Bierkans are well known throughout Bulkeley. Experienced in her field, Mrs. Bierkan teaches Home Economics to many Bulkeley girls. Her patience and friendliness are known to all and our girls may be sure that they will gain many helpful hints from Mrs. Bierkan. As advisor to the Future Homemakers, Mrs. Bierkan shares her knowledge and experience with those who have a special intrest in homemaking. Mr. Bierkan fascinates his students with interest tales of historical events. He goes beyond requirements by relating stories of his own travels and experiences in our country. Friend and advisor to his students, Mr. Bierkan understands and assists those he comes in contact with. Foremost in his extra-curricular activities Mr. Bierkan, with the assistance of his wife, is the capable advisor to the Lamplighters. The two put every effort into making this organization one of Bulkeley ' s best. Therefore, we the Class of 1967, take this opportunity to acknowledge and respectfully thank a pair whose endless service to us and our school make them admired and respected by students and faculty alike. 5 PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE The class of 1967 is graduating during a period of turmoil. Internationally our troops are fighting to stop aggression in southeast Asia. At home, we are engulfed not only in a social revolution of minority groups seeking the justice our constitution assures them but also in a revolution affecting our concepts of our relations to one another, to our institutions and to our government. Some have termed our age, the age of dissent ; others, the age of social upheaval ; and still others, the age of the common man . The problems inherent in change and turmoil are so replete with opportuni¬ ties for the imaginative, the venturesome and the dedicated that we might better dub this age, the age of opportunity . The opportunities open to today ' s graduates are limitless. He can serve his country in the armed forces, thus having a part in safeguarding our way of life for himself and his children; he can contribute his services to the betterment of mankind in any of the several Peace Corps pro¬ grams sponsored by our government; he may enter the world of work where demand for labor seems insatiable now and for years ahead despite the on rush of technology and automation; he may continue his education better to prepare himself for an eventual place in a society that is placing daily an ever increasing premium on the skilled and the more skilled. To these opportunities and others growing out of today ' s problems, the 1967 graduate should address himself, and with the help of the Almighty, the 1967 graduate will leave his mark on a better world.

' THE MAPLE LEAVES The Maple Leaves is the classbook published each year by the graduating class. The members of the editorial board and the business board are elected in the spring of their junior year. The editorial board under the guidance of its advisor is responsible for planning the book, writing all copy, and arranging the pictorial layouts. It is their task to see that all the classbook deadlines are met so that in June each senior may have possession of a copy of the Maple Leaves. The business board is responsible for the solici¬ tation of advertisements from local merchants and friends of the class. This year, due to their excep¬ tionally fine job of obtaining ads, their efforts helped defray a major portion of the cost of the yearbook. This year, one member of the senior class is credit¬ ed with the selection and preparation of the excellent art work which appears in this classbook. The typists for the Maples Leaves are selected from the senior typing classes because of their ability and desire to serve on this board.

Inconsistency and a lack of ex¬ perience proved to be the Bulldogs ' toughest opponent in a season when there were moments of exceptionally played football. Paired with Weaver in the annual City Jamboree, the Bulldogs were unable to put an effective offensive attack together and as a result, Bulkeley failed to score through- SEASON RECORD Jamboree: HPHS East Hartford 28 BHS WHS 6 BHS 6 Fitch 38 BHS 0 HPHS 42 BHS 18 Notre Dame 34 BHS 6 New Britain 26 BHS 22 Norwich 42 BHS 0 WHS 54 BHS 6 New London 6 BHS 0 EHHS 37 106 out the contest. Untimely mishaps and lack of pulling together on defense resulted in a 28-6 loss to Hartford and East Hartford. Bulkeley opened its regular season with a trip to Groton and Fitch High School. The Falcons were considered to have one of the finest backfield combinations in the state and wasted no time in proving it as they scored 28 quick points in the first half. In the third period, Co-Captain Bob Knurek scampered 65 yards on an inside counter for the .Bulldogs ' only touchdown. Final score 38-6. As a surprise, Bruno Sniders, (Hartford Times) picked Bulkeley to repeat for the third Two Coaches and Krukas Rich Sonnone carries against Hartford High time an upset victory over highly tooted Notre Dame of West Haven. Notre Dame opened the scoring on the opening kickoff with fullback Bob Turbert taking it and run¬ ning it back 78 yards for a T.D. However, the Bulldogs came right back when they got the ball and Knurek carried it over from 19 yards out in seven plays and 65 yards later. Notre Dame scored three more times in the first half to one more T.D. for Knurek to make the score 28-12 at half-time. The Bulldogs ' defense pulled together in Kruke rolls out the second half and played a whale of a game, giving up Notre Dame ' s final T.D. late in the fourth quarter. Knurek scored his third T.D. of the game in the final period to make the score 34-18. Offensively, the Bulldogs probably played their finest game of the season against Norwich. Time and time gain, the inside of the line opened tremendous holes for Bob Knurek and Frank LaCaprucia and the two JAMBOREE! Jitterbug with Bobby ,i , speedsters could practically waltz around the ends at will, such was the fine offensive performance of our line, Knurek and La- Caprucia tallied for 22 points between them and even had two touchdowns called back. However, the defense, again because of lack of experience, could not jell and the result was a 42-22 victory for Norwich, Buikeley was actually ahead early in the third quarter 22-20 when the Norwich defense finally stiffened. Plagued by poor officiating down at New London, the Bulldogs were robbed of their first win of the season, having to settle for a 6-6 tie. Buikeley led at half-time 6-0 on Bob Knurek ' s 69 yard punt return. At the outset of the second half, the Bulldog offense was stymied but finally got moving again in the fourth quarter and a final drive to score and pull out the win was stopped as time ran out with the ball inside the 10 yard line, Undoubtedly, the biggest heart-breaker of the season for the football was the 42-0 defeat at the hands of Hartford High. The Bulldogs were really up for the game and wanted to beat this team, Bulkeley ' s biggest rival, more than anyone else. However, the offense couldn ' t move the ball at all and the defense couldn ' t hold off the speedier HPHS backs as Hartford rolled to a 42-0 win. The offense had their day against NFA and so did the defense against perenially strong New Britain. The likes of Kokinis, O ' Brien, Kusy, Loguidice, Costardo, La- Caprucia, and Milward put on a defensive display in the first half that befitted this year ' s football team. At half-time, the Bull¬ dogs went into the locker-room with a 6-0 TOUCHDOWN Bulkeley ! lead. An injury to Bob Knurek slowed up the offensive attack quite a bit in the second half and New Britain gained their poise and went on to a 28-6 victory. Loguidice leads the charge ! Against undefeated Weaver, the Bulldogs could boast nothing but sheer disaster. Weaver ' s all junior backfield tore up the field and their speed was too much for La- Caprucia, Sonnone, Milward and Dunphy, the In a final attempt to regain a little pride, the inexperienced Bulkeley squad traveled across the river to East Hartford. However, nothing went right for the Bulldogs as the Hornets stung them with a 37-0 victory. Although the team was unable to win a game, they were able to claim noteworthy achievements of their two co-captains. Bob Knurek and George Kokinis were selected to the first All-City Football squad. Knurek, the Bulldogs ' leading scorer and ground-gainer was named to an offensive halfback spot while Capt. Kokinis, anchor-man of the Bulkeley offensive and defensive lines, was named to a tackle spot. Also, Kokinis was named All CDC tackle, first team both offensively and defensively, a feat rarely achieved. Krukas throws the bomb ! Bulkeley defensive backs. Weaver Coach Knurek continued to pour it on even after Coach Karsky had put in the reserves late in the final period resulting in a final score of 54-0. tti The season ends CROSS-COUNTRY THE TEAM The 1967 edition of the Bulkeley High cross-country squad struggled through a tough schedule to a 1-9 record. Lack of depth and experience hampered the maroon in nearly every meet. This was due in part to the fact that a number of veteran runners failed to come out this year. The first seven meets of the season mag¬ nified this problem. The harriers suffered the first defeat of the season at the hands of traditional rival Hall by a 25-32 score, at Hall. Captain George Zocco and Sal Mangiafico finished third and second respectively. In a three way meet hosted by Fitch, the Bulldogs lost to the Groton club, 15-48, and East Hartford, 22-36. Once again Mangiafico and Zocco placed well. In the first home meet of the season, the thinclads found Manchester too strong, losing by a score of 27-32. Following this were losses to Norwich, 15-48, and New London, 24-31. On October 11, the maroon harriers finally gained that elusive first victory, defeating Penney High of East Hartford by a 31-25 margin. Mangiafico placed first and Zocco second to pace a satisfying win. The Greater Hartford Meet saw Bulkeley take a sixth place in the team standings. In the annual city meet at Keney Park, the thinclads could only manage a third against Hartford and Weaver. Against New Britain, perennially one of the strongest teams in the state, the boys came out on the short end of a 19-39 score, thus ending one of the poorest seasons, recordwise, in recent years. In post-season competition, Sal Mangia- Wait, I lost my contacts! What are you doing here all alone little girl? 112 fico and George Zocco participated in the Eastern Sectionals, held annually at the Uni¬ versity of Connecticut. Against some of the stiffest competition in the state, the boys proved equal to the task. Sal placed sixteenth, and George eighteenth out of a field of ap¬ proximately one hundred runners. Despite the dismal record, there were a number of bright sports. George Zocco showed that he was a strong team leader as well as being a strong runner. Sal Mangiafico also stood out during the entire season. Others who gave that 110% desired by all coaches were senior Jim Coe, Tony Pugleisi, and Bill Steig. With the season behind him, Coach Lawson can look forward to a strong team next year. Led by Sal Mangiafico, only a sophomore, and a number of other promising young runners, the future of cross-country at Bulkeley looks very bright. Maybe next year. . . If I hear one more Italian joke . . . What ' s that lying in the road, a—head? 113 THE TEAM The 1966-67 edition of the Bulkeley soccer team struggled to a 2-10 won-lost record which does not, by any means, represent the fine effort put out by the squad. Playing against some of the top teams in the state, the booters were in nearly every contest, only to suffer at the hands of lady luck. The initial match of the season ended in 5-3 loss to a tough Glastonbury team. Fol¬ lowing in succession were losses to Hartford High, 6-1, a heartbreaker to powerhouse Windsor, 3-2, and a 3-0 shutout at the hands of Rocky Hill. However, under the able leadership of coach John Duchon, the boys did not loose spirit. The next game, a 5-0 triumph over city rival Weaver, ended the victory drought. This was the first game that highlighted Bulkeley ' s one-two scoring punch, Steve and Don Pigan, who scored 3 and 2 goals respectively to lead the Maroon to victory. In the next match, Hartford High once again proved to be too much for the Bulldogs and prevailed by a 5-2 score, with the Pigan brothers sharing the scoring honors. Bohdan: Cut it out 13t There was a string of four straight losses, Newington twice, Windsor and Goodwin Tech, before the Bulldogs got on the win track again, manhandling Weaver by a 6-1 score. The Pigans and John Ancona shared scoring honors for Bulkeley. Wethersfield ended the season, with the Maroon booters coming out on the short end of a 8-0 score. In an interesting development the team was awarded the coveted city championship. This was due to the fact that Hartford High had a number of ineligible players on the team who had made the difference between victory and defeat in the two matches. This by no means lessens the meaning of the cham¬ pionship. Besides the Pigans, who distinguished them¬ selves in the scoring column Captain Bohdan Rudzinsky showed that he was the real heart of the team. A three year veteran, Bohdan proved to be a defensive stickout, as well as displaying those qualities of leadership that a coach likes to see in a player. Bulkeley can be justifiably proud of its city championship team, a group that gave 100% all season long. The return of the twist 1 BASKETBALL THE TEAM First year head coach Joe DiChiara and assistant coach John Pazdar were faced with a building year for the 1966-67 basketball season. Although compiling perhaps the poor¬ est record in recent years, the team demon¬ strated on a number of different occasions that it had the ability and the desire to win. The Bulldogs finished the season with a 4-14 won-lost record, 3-1 1 in the Capitol Dis¬ trict Conference, and 0-4 in city series warfare. The Maroon opened the season on Decem¬ ber 16 against East Hartford in the Hornets ' gym. The cagers demonstrated an impressive defense, limiting the Hornets to 47 points to win the nip and tuck contest by a score of 52-47. Jackie Brown with 23 points and Ed Pitkin with 10 made Coach DiChiara ' s Bulkeley debut a victorious one. Next, the cagers traveled to New London and absorbed a 78-61 defeat at the hands of the Whalers. In a game which was lost at the foul line, George Milward and Ed Pitkin netted 23 and 17 points respectively. In their first home game of the season the Bulldogs encountered a tough Wethersfield five. Wethersfield jumped out to early lead and hung on to it for a 65-53 win. Jack Brown ' s 19 markers were best for Bulkeley. In the Benton Street gym, Norwich handed the Bulldogs a 66-51 defeat. The Wildcats, who only outhit the Maroon by one from the field 24 to 23, decided the game at the foul line where they held a comfortable 18 to 5 advantage. Don Natalie, Pitkin and Brown each chipped in with 10 points. The Bulkeley hoopers came back with a hard fought, come from behind overtime win over CCIL power Bristol Eastern. Down by as many as 18 points in the third quarter, the Maroon rallied to tie the score at 63-63 in reg¬ ulation and then went on to win 74-71 for a well deserved triumph. Milward with 22, Pitkin with 19, and Brown with 17 paced the scoring for the home team. 116 THAT ' S THE WAY TO SCORE On January 10, the bulldogs hosted the Hurricanes of New Britain. The ' Canes upset the favored Bulkeley quintet 74-66. Morris Jackson had 23 points and 12 rebounds and Brown chipped in with 22 points and 1 1 re¬ bounds in the losing effort The following week the cagers whipped Fitch of Groton 73-62 as Jackie Brown poured 33 points through the Benton Street baskets. In a game played at the Hartford Public gymnasium, the cagers met high flying Weaver in their first city series match of the year. The Bulldogs played determined against the bigger Beavers, but could not avoid a 60-38 setback. Brown starred in the loss col¬ lecting 21 points. The next game found the Maroon at Man¬ chester to play the Indians of the CCIL. The game went down to the wire as the lead changed hands many times during the contest. However at the final buzzer the Bulldogs were on the shorter end of a 61-54 decision. The Maroon held a slight edge from the floor but again lost from the foul line. 117 What Form I Don ' t Believe It ! Perennially strong Hartford High proved to be too much for the Bulldogs winning 62-43. Soph Rich Melluzzo connected for 12 points in his finest game for Bulkeley as Brown tallied 17 markers. In a return match with Weaver the Bulldogs succumbed to the Beavers 81-52. The Big Three of Mathews, Jones and Newkirk con¬ trolled the boards and proved too much for the smaller Bulldogs. Morris Jackson ' s 16 points led the Maroon attack. On Friday, February 3, New London invaded the Bulkeley gym. Both teams started fast, but the Bulldogs trailed at halftime 39-29. In a high scoring second half Bulkeley and New London shot well. However, the Whalers clung to their halftime margin for a 76-64 victory over the Maroon. Brown and Pitkin paced the losers with 21 and 12 points respectively. Next, Norwich dealt the Bulldogs a 71-60 defeat, which once again was decided at the foul line. Brown, 20, Pitkin, 18, and Milward, 14 sparked the Maroon. 118 What ' s Happening? On Friday, February 10, Bulkeley faced undefeated Hartford Public on the latters court. The Bulldogs, paced by senior Frank Piacente, 12 points and 8 rebounds, stuck close to the Owls for better than three quarters. However, the Hartford team “broke it open in the final period for a 60-46 win. Piacente, who hit 6 for 10 field goals, played his best game of the season in the Bulldogs eighth consecutive loss. The Bulldogs returned to their homecourt to meet New Britain. Trailing throughout the opening half, the Maroon cut the deficit to Hey Man ! two points, 35-33, at halftime. However, the ' Canes sharp shooting Jim Gadzik got hot in the second half and lifted his team to a 68-61 victory, Game honors went to the Bulldogs ' Jackie Brown, who ran up a 32 point total. Bulkeley journeyed to Wethersfield for their next opponent. The Bulldogs, after leading by as many as 16 points in the third quarter, faltered in the second half and bowed to the Eagles 54-47. Brown, Milward, and Jackson scored 16, 14, and 12 points respec¬ tively. Where ' d He Come From? 119 The Maroon next took on Fitch at Groton in what proved to be the best team effort of the year. With Jackson hitting on an almost unbelievable 10 of 11 from the floor, the Bulldogs romped 80-66 to snap a 10 game losing streak. The Maroon shot and rebounded well throughout the entire game and led at every turn 22-10, 40-39, 57-49, and the final 80-66. Jackson with 26, Brown with 24, and Milward and Piacente with 1 1 each provided the scoring for a well balanced attack. Morris Wheels And Deals Brown Scores Another Two In the final game of the season, the Bull¬ dogs hosted East Hartford in the friendly con¬ fines of the Benton Street gymnasium. The favored Maroon found the Hornats tougher than expected and led at the quarter .13-10, due largely to George Milward ' s fine outside shooting. East Hartford matched the Bulkeley five in the second period and trailed by only three points, 29-26 at halftime. The fired-up Hornets returned hungry for a victory. Highlighted by a tenacious defense, the Hornets out pointed the Bulldogs 15 to 7 in the third quarter and led 41-36 going into the final period. The Maroon fought back desperately and the fourth quarter developed into a nip and tuck battle. But the Hornets were not to be denied. With Wayne Van Dine hitting a perfect 8 for 8 from the foul line in the fourth quarter the Hornets squeezed out a 63-58 upset. This victory was the first for EHHS in three years and snapped a 37 game losing streak. In the post season balloting Jackie Brown was selected to the first team on both the All-City team and the All-CDC team. Although this years team failed to produce a winning record, their 4-14 record certainly does not bear out the actual ability of the team. Inconsistency and a lack of experience and depth proved to be the Bulldogs ' toughest opponent this season. Bulkeley was capable of playing good basketball and proved it on more than one occasion. The team possessed the talents of high- scoring Jackie Brown; sharp shooters George Milward and Ed Pitkin, who dazzled the crowds throughout the season; hard working rebounders Frank Piacente and Morris Jack- son, who did the board work against the usually taller opponents; playmakers Don Natalie and Dave Scelza, who had charge of the ball handling duties; and reserves Ron Nazzareno, Rich Melluzzo, and Al Phillips, who were often called off the benched and produced the spark of that certain something to regroup and put the team back into con¬ tention.

Jjpl 111 lllf I : m fell! . m â–  ' â–  â–  Natalie: I Got It! 121 THE TEAM The 1967 Bullfrogs, coached by James Brophy, compiled the finest record in the history of swimming at Bulkeley, with hopes to improve even more next year. Brophy ' s Boys , led by senior captain Dee Way, won five meets this year, more than Bulkeley swimming teams have won in the past three years totalled. Up at the top of the scoring along with Dee Way was senior Bill Kusy, as well as Jack Lazorik, Ray Cerins, Fred Morton, Steve Hall, and Bob Plikaitis, all of whom are returning next year. Behind the fine efforts of Jack Lazorik, who for the third time this year set a new record in the Backstroke, the Bullfrogs achieved second place in the City Series as they easily sank the Weaver swimmers. Burr This Water Is Cold 122 In a meet against Plainville High at the H.P.H.S. pool, Dee Way and company came on strong after the diving event and fish¬ tailed to a five point victory over Plainville. A week later Bulkeley travelled to Wood- row Wilson High and this time the Bullfrogs captured nine firsts out of eleven events to win by a 55-40 margin. The Bullfrogs Although there is much ribbing about Bulkeley ' s lack of success in swimming, this year will undoubtedly stick out as quite suc- Who Stole My Chair? cessful. The swim team works just as hard as any other athletic team at Bulkeley and should be recognized as one of our stronger teams this season. Besides winning five meets, the Bullfrogs came close in two other at¬ tempts, losing to Middletown by five points and to New London by three. A definite sign of improvement is the fact that six Bullfrogs: Dee Way, Bill Kusy, Jack Lazorik, Bob Plikaitis, Alex Balko, and Fred Morton all qualified for the State Champion¬ ships. A bright future is seen for swimming at Bulkeley. Going Down For The First Time 123 Standing: (I, to r.) Coach Bassos, R. Brown, M. Torcia, P. row: J. McSweegan, G. Gengras, S, Presutti, J.

Coached by Pete Kokinis, the team achieved a fine 6-9 won- lost record for the season, 6-8 in the CDC. The six victories included wins over East Hartford, twice, New London, Fitch, Weaver and New Britain, ' once each. The best team performance of the season came in the 3-0 triumph versus New London. Senior righthander Sal Greco held the Whalers in check for the shutout, while the defense play¬ ed flawless ball and the hitting provided the margin of victory. In the post season balloting Bulkeley placed two players on the first team and one on the second team of the All-CDC team. Senior short¬ stop Dave Shicko and junior centerfielder Jim Cataldi were chosen to the first team and pitch¬ er Sal Greco to the second team. A cloud of dust and Garofolo scores Tom winds-up and delivers Shicko slashes another hit THE TEAM Compiling an outstanding 11-2 mark, un- remaining matches against such opposition as defeated 8-0 in CDC play, the 1967 tennis Hartford, twice, Weaver, New London, Penney, squad gave coach John Pazdar not only his best Norwich, East Hartford and Middleton, record since taking over as coach, but also the Led by senior co-captains Jim Atheneos and finest record by far of any of the year ' s athletic Chris Johnson, and senior Bob Morton, the team teams. won the City Series for the fourth consecutive The netmen started the season slowly win- time since the series was established four years ning three and losing two of their first five ago. matches: the wins versus Hall, Weaver, and In the Capital District Conference Tennis Norwich and the losses to powerful Bloomfield Tournament held at Wesleyan, the favored Bull- and even stronger Wethersfield. The team then dogs came in second place being edged out by closed-out the season winning ail eight of their New Britain. GOLF Under the able leadership of coach Walter Markiewicz, the 1967 golf team drove to an 8-4 season, 5-3 in the Capital District Confer¬ ence. The team, composed of seniors Carlo Capo- bianco and Bob Otto Attanasio, junior Bill Frazier, soph Al Phillips, and frosh Robert Capo- bianco, also captured the City Series crown. This was a come-from-behind triumph as the Bull¬ dogs trailed Weaver by two points after the first round. However, the team rose to the occasion and soundly defeated Weaver 5-0 and HPHS 3-2 for the coveted trophy. With the loss of but two lettermen, coach Markiewicz is optimistic on improving on this year ' s already fine record. THE TEAM Athough the 1967 track and field team fail¬ ed to produce a winning record, the team shows steady signs of improvement. The team, coached by Harold Red Lawson, finished the season with a 3-7 record, 1-6 ver¬ sus CDC opponents. The three victories came against Hall, 72-63, Weaver,-71-69, and a one¬ sided 92-30 win over Wethersfield. Bulkeley was fortunate to send four of their tracksters to the State Meet based on their per¬ formance in the sectionals held at U Conn. Sophs Sal Mangiafico and Bill Smith qualified in the mile run and triple jump respectively. Jun¬ ior Tony Puglisi qualified in both the low hurd¬ les and triple jump.
