Bulkeley High School Introduction Faculty Seniors Organizations . . . our surroundings, values , and most importantly, what we gain from each passing day. As students we learn about life, about others, and most of all, about ourselves . gfigigl 1 1 iMf • d8g| fj ‘ | 3 l Mr 9 The older generation thought nothing of getting up at five every morning — and the younger generation doesn ' t think much of it either. — JohnJ.

This year, the Senior Class of 19 7 would lil to ef TVone and everything that helped to form and shape us into t. bach and every one of us in the StMwoi Class, and also in the entire school, is a unique ind ual. No two of us are alike. Wc are thankful to our parents antfcfamilies for raising uS, WwMgachers for their imps knowledge, our companions for thei friendship, and our physical environment for providing with our life’s support and for its beaulc The list of all that has been offered to us, and those have given, could continue on almost infinitely This talent, potential, and background that we each possess hayeen much enhanced by the facilities and opportunities that were open to us as students he at Bulkeley. During th four years we were exposed to the many different nationalities :1 ethnic groups that make population of the world. The various social and economic l wels that we come from also 01 to the differences between people and their lifestyles We have had the opportunity to develop academically as students, athletically through p;: pation in sports, and socially through contact with ourselves and those around us. Numerous ities were here for our benefit, faculty and administration showed tlreir concern not on academic progress and ability but also for our growth as individual persons We have developed, and we have experienced much of life, but ev V more is still in waitir X , us. W e aie trying to express our gratitude through the dedication of our yearoooK W j §m§ - - istep ■ ' V , . 3 I 4 - thank you to all of the undcfinablc elements that have made us. But perhaps the best way to out appreciation would be for us to take what has been given to us so that we in turn ca our world ever changing our perspectives, forever watching the distant horizon. The most lasting impressions which stu¬ dents receive conrie through the teachers who instruct them. A teacher’s fascination with his subjects becomes his student’s fascination. A teacher’s absorption in his work becomes his student’s absorption. Bu Ike ley High School teachers constantly strive for perfection, trying to reach that unattainable height of becoming the master instructors while imparting the final wisp of knowledge from the depths of their souls. The Bulkeley High teachers never quit prob¬ ing our minds for new ideas. We learned something new every day, for¬ 17 The Administration Men and Women of understanding and character are the foundation of any educa¬ tional institution. The administration sets the tone of the school, inspires a desire for learn¬ ing and provides an example of self discipline and purpose. Bulkeley High School Students are fortu¬ nate in being led by a highly trained and dedi¬ cated administration. They, guided by the Board of Education, determine school policies and establish an atmosphere where learning can be most successfully pursued. RALPH T. COLON — Principal JOSEPH O. PREWITT Vice-Principal 19 ROSA JENNINGS ISABEL ACQUARONE (Social Worker) The Guidance department exists for the benefit of the students. The depart¬ ment advises students in the selection of courses and, as they reach their senior year, help them choose a college or prepare for a career. Tests, designed to measure abilities and aptitudes, are administered by the counselors, fly analyz¬ ing each individual’s abilities and aptitudes, the counselors are able to guide” the students.

GRISEVICH RAYMOND CERINS ROSARIO LUCCA FELIX KARSKY Times, places, and people are the three basic elements that create history. These elements which are contemporary today, like the modern designs we see around us, will soon become part of the fading past — and ' then history. But history is not just written material in history books. History is recording, analyzing, and,explaining the passing times, the changing places, and the fading people. The 1976-1977 school year will also become history. Times will pass, places will change, and people will fade from memory. . STEVEN MORRELL MARGARET SAPEGA WESLEY VANDERVLIET Math Mathematics courses teach the students to solve problems through analysis and logic; Algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and Senior Math broaden their mental capacities and increase their understanding of the scientific world. Mathematics is the language of .the sciences.” DOMINIC CASTAGNA CxERALDINE EACKER Higher Horizons JOAN ACKERMAN WILLIAM CASEY RONALD GATTINELLA The Higher Horizons Program consists of 100 grade nine students who have been selected to receive a special program designed to broaden their educational horizons. The focus is on an intensified language program designed to develop communication skills. Students are motivated to succeed through emphasis on each individual student’s worth. Repeated emphasis is placed upon high standards and turns out highly motivated students with a strong commitment to personal success.

Some of these are both practical and helpful to any high school student, while others are aimed especially toward those students who wish to continue in the business field.

Remember how we couldn’t wait to leave! But now that our time is so near, we don’t want to go quite yet. The caps and gowns can wait for a few more weeks ... Freshman year really wasn’t all that long ago, even though it seems like ages. We came in so eager and expectant. As Sophomores we were still getting lost in the hallways, trying to get use to our ' new sur¬ roundings. This building sure seemed strange and different compared to the year before. Our Junior year was full of pride because we were finally upper¬ classmen. We had our own activities and especially the Prom to be nervous about. Now as Seniors we really know what headaches are. Not only did we involve ourselves more than ever before; we did so with the knowledge that this year’s projects and accomplishments would be our last at Bulkeley. This very important year for many has been a combination of stress, fear, memories, and looking forward to the unknown? We’re unsure of the future and what it holds in store for us. Some of us will continue with school, some of us will work, some us will marry and perhaps even have children of our own. We will grow older, change and live in different worlds. Isnlt it so strange to think that what we’ve spent our time on and have tried so hard to work, will so soon be dissolved? For the past four years we have been together and have created the Class of 77. We have loved and shared ourselves with each other and we have learned from our experiences. We have laughed and cried together in both our good times and bad. And so it is with mixed and heart rendering emotions, that we pass and take but another step into the future.

Through active participation in clubs we have become more knowledgeable in our areas of interest. We’ve been introduced to new ideas and concepts that have broadened our perceptions of ourself, our surround¬ ings, and our society. We have also learned to cooperate with others, and have learned to accept the individual ditterences that vary from person to person. By doing this, we have begun to extend ourselves past the barriers of ignorance and isolation. We have established relationships with each other and have worked hard together within many different groups to achieve our goals. Although we will soon be leaving Bulkeley, we will always carry with us what we have learned so as to achieve our goals and dreams of tomorrow. 89 Vera Nako, Ana Taras.

Being a Sophomore was like breaking that cocoon and stepping out in the midst of activity in school.
