Chapman Technical High School - Torch Yearbook (New London, CT)

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We, the class of '49, are now seniors preparing to bid adieu to our carefree high school days. It seems only yesterday that we entered Chapman Tech as awkward, gangling freshmen amid the amused and understanding smiles of the upper classmen. Bob Olsen, George Sheflott, and Jeane Hoare were elected president, vice-prsident, and secretary-treasurer, respectively. Under the guiding influence of Mr. Palmer and Mrs. Canfield, the first year was brought to a successful close. We returned for the second year full of enthusiasm. New sub- jects, new activities, the old familiar faces, and the fact that our sharp corners were rounded off, all helped to make our second year short and sweet. Officers that year were: George Sheflott, Russ Gomes, Faye Brodaski and Gene Martin. Then we returned as juniors, I guess we thought we were pretty smart until Mr. Hammond went to work on us with his English Literature. Quote: I don't know what you people are going to do. It's pi-i-tiful. President Howie Christensen, Vice-president Harry Nossek, Secretary joan Campbell, Treasurer john Buckingham. Now we have reached the peak of our high school careers. During our four year stay, we have built up a life-long respect for our school. Soon we shall be forced by the tide of time to take leave regretfully of our alma mater in order that we may make our places in life, but we shall always carry with us a memory of Chapman Tech. 24
