PEARL BATTS -'Banya General C ourre Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4, chorus 1, 2, 3, 4, baseball 1, 2, 4, dancing 2, physical education 3, journalism 3, assistant art editor 3, art editor 4. You take the high road and I'll take my own road , is Pearl's motto. We know our witty artist better than that though! A girl with clear ideas, true school spirit, and outstanding ability in the field of sports-this is the true measure of happy-go-lucky Pearl. VERNE RICHARDSON BROOKES Worm College Preparatory C ourre School play 2, 39 baseball 2, 3, 4, soccer 3, 4, student council 2, 4, fPresident 4, 5 first aid 2, Vice President 3, Acting President 4, camera club 3, journalism 3 fcirculation managerj 4, sports editor, rifle club 2, dramatics 2, physical education 3, 4. The class of '44 would certainly be incomplete without you, Verne. Not Richardson but Success should be your middle name. Coach Craven will discover a mighty big gap in the baseball nine next season. However, we hope that you continue in your sports career for you surely can make yourself at home on the mound as well as at Audrey's house. AMELITA F. BURACCHI Bena General Coune Hockey 8, 1, 2, 3, 4, chorus 1, 2, 4, baseball 1, 25 dancing 45 physical education 39 ioumalism 3, 4, home ec. 2. Vivacious Bena , always ready to serve on extra curricular ac- tivities, especially dance committees, has proved herself to be a great help in getting orchestras-and service men to come to our dances. That's all right, Bena , more power to you. CARROLL ANTHONY CALAMARI Brud General C ourre Physical education 2, 5, 4, home ec. 2, journalism 3, soccer 4. Brud Calamari is well known throughout the country as the play- boy of '44. He sure proved that he could beat out the rhythm with those drumsticks when he playled in the school orchestra. We-know that with his great sense of umor and his pleasing personality he will succeed. 8 F 'V MARGARET VICTORIA CARLSON Marge Chorus 1, 2, 33 journalism 3, 45 physical education 3, 4g class treas- urer 2g typing award 35 hrst aid 1. The boys are crazy about Marge! So are the girls, of course. Every- one admires a young lady who is loyal to her class, tireless as a worker, C ommereial C ourre and ever ready with a priceless quip to cheer one up. Marge vows she will soon be a receptionist. We know that she more than qualities for this with beauty and brains as assets. I ROSA COLETTE CHAPPEL Chap Chorus 1, 35 journalism 45 secretary and head typistg physical educa- tion 3g typing award 2, 33 Becker College Award 3. What would the Journalism Club have done without Rosa as head typist? She certainly has helped to make the Ripples a big success Commercial C ourre this year by seeing that it was always on schedule . Although Rosa is one of our best students, she certainly can compete with any giggler in our class. .big X ALFRED JOHN COFRANCISCO Wimp College Preparatory Courre Physical education 1, 2, 3, 43 rifle club 2, dancing 1, 2, shop 1, 2, chorus 2, 3, first aid 25 home ec. 2. Wimp's shyness certainly attracts the girls. He always keeps his class in suspense, for he Hirts, not with one, but with all. Even though he won't tell us his little secrets, the class wishes him loads of luck in the Navy. RICHARD DOUGLAS COLE Dick College Preparalory Courre Rifle club 2 3 chess club 2, physical education 3. Dick has maintained an outstanding scholastic rating all four years at D.R.H,S. His right answers have pulled the seniors out of many difficulties. There is no doubt in our minds that Dick will succeed in any task he may undertake. 9 ELIZABETH CECELIA EAGAN Bette College Prepaarlory Courre Chorus 1, 2, 45 journalism 45 literary editor, scoops 35 assistant editor, student council 25 secretary 45 homemaking 25 nursing 25 class treas- urer 3, 4. If there ever was a ball of fire in the class of '44, Bette is it. She has proved her talents in Problems. If you want to get in on a hot subject, just challenge Bette on the topic Roosevelt . lf you are not a Democrat before you start you will be when you finish, for her beauty, brains, and that certain something are sure to get you. WINIFRED G. HALING Winnie C ommerrial C ourxe journalism 45 physical education 35 chorus 1, 2, 35 baseball 2, 45 librarian 35 typing award 2, home ec. award 2. Although Winnie never went out for the team, she is one of our outstanding baseball players. Her quiet manner is misleading, for when it comes to being a regular all round girl, Winnie is right on the old home plate every time. RICHARD BOARDMAN HENRY Dick General C ourfe Chorus 35 soccer 1, 2, 3, 45 baseball 25 captain of traffic squad 4. Dick's witty answers have sent the senior class into uproars and Dick into the hall. That slap-happy way of yours is bound to make you a success in any held you may choose, Dick. SOREN CHRISTIAN IBSEN, JR. Ibbie College Preparatory C ourre Student council 1, 2, 45 school play 35 journalism club 45'business man- ager, dramatics 4. Ibbie is the man who can crack any business deal without batting an eyelash! The class is endowed with a carefree, talkative fellow in Ibbie , with an irrepressible grin and enormous appetite. Well Ibbie , if brains andinatural ability are desirable in life, you should quickly ascend the ladder of success. 10 RUBY PAULIN E KURZE Kurzie Commercial C ourre journalism 3, 4 fgirls' sports editor 41, physical education 3, chorus 1, 2, 5,45 baseball 1, 2, 4, hockey 1, 2, 3, 4g dancing 2. Ruby is the mighty mite in our class. She certainly is the living proof that not size but ability is the thing that puts a gal over big. Shyness and a healthy fighting spirit are outstanding in Ruby's per- sonality. Although she hides her light in class she blossoms forth on the hockey and baseball fields. Miss Hannon is losing a game little player but the world will gain one! HOLLY M. LEWIS Tiny Commercial Courre Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4, physical education 3, journalism 4, dancing 2, 3, K.C.S. 2. A friend in need is a friend in deed. These words describe Holly to a Whenever anyone is harried and upset Holly may be found calm and collected with a word of encouragement. Though a' reserved lass, she nevertheless is willing to toil diligently on com- mittees, and in journalism work she always comes through nobly and with little fanfare. Good luck, and our best wishes to a reticent young lady with a rosy future. AUDREY G. LIN DNER Auge College Preparatory C ourre Class secretary 1, 2, 3, 4, chorus 1, 2, homemaking 2, baseball 1, 25 student council secretary 2g dancing 2, 35 physical education 3, 4, journalism, assistant editor 4g scoops 35 orchestra 1, 2, D.A.R. Girl 4. The class of '44 was more than proud to have Audrey be its D.A.R. Girl this year. Her outstanding scholastic ability and friendly manner have won the respect and admiration of us all. She has received and merited an A Card all during her four years at D.R.H.S. No one has any doubt that Audrey will make the most of her future, for through her sincere willingness to work on any project she has won an enviable record. JOSEPH MIEZEJESKI Moses Commercial C ourre Rifle club 1, physical education 2, 3, 4. Joe is undoubtedly not a ladies' man. When all the other fellows are talking about their girls, he talks about his Ford. In English class joe's best topic is How to take a Ford Apart and Put it Together Again. A one track mind with plenty of ability to concentrate is a big help, joe Moses-and you have what it takes! 11 . 'N, NATALIE MISLICK Nat College Com-re Orchestra 1, 2, chorus 1, 2, scoops 3, homemaking 2, physical educa- tion 3g dancing 2, 3, journalism 4. There isn't a more thoughtful girl in Deep River High than Nat. Besides this she is industrious, enthusiastic and friendly in all ways. The ranks of the nursing profession will surely be brightened by your sunny smile and gracious manner. ELIZABETH MATHER MOORE Bea C ommerrial C ourre Arts and crafts 2, dramatics 2, secretary and treasurer 3, dancing 2, assistant dancing teacher 3, 4, scoops club 35 journalism typist and reporter 4, physical education 3, 4, hockey 1, 2, 3, 4, chorus 1, 2, 4, orchestra 7, 8, 1, 2, 3, cheer leader 2, 3, 4, school play 1, 2, 3. Who could furnish more music than the juke box? Bea, of course! This along with her cheer leading has made her one of the most popular members of our class. Bea is a lover of all good things in every school. This includes Pratt. Now what could be there? We wonder! MARY G. MORRIS Stubbie Commercial Caurre Dancing 25 assistant dancing teacher 3, 4, journalism 43 newshound editor and typist 4, librarian 2, head librarian 3, physical education 3, 4, hockey 1, 2, 3, 4 3 arts and crafts 2, orchestra 3, dramatics 2, vice president 3, chorus 1, 2, 4, cheer leader 2, 3, 4, scoops 3. Believe you us, the most energetic, dynamic gal in these here parts is Mary. Snazzy decorator, peppy news writer, jazzy cheer leader, character comedian-all add up to our Stubbie of the tiny dimensions, who can take it and dish it out with the same infectious giggle. JOAN P. NELSON Blondie Nurrer Training Chorus 1, 2, 4, dramatics 2, 3, 4, scoops 3, first aid 2, journalism 4, arts and crafts 2, baseball 1, hockey 2, 4, dancing 2, 3, physical educa- tion 3. That familiar line nursie, l'm getting worsie, will be heard more frequently when Joan enters the course of nursing. Oh! Those lucky sailors! I mean patients. 12 VERDITH NICHOLS Nick Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4g physical education 33 home nursing -2. For sweet charm and jolly spirits none can out do Nick . In rare moments we see a fleeting picture of a serious girl, too. Your note writing technique is very original Cudge , but how you manage to safely deliver them under trying circumstances is a mystery. Perhaps your clever line will be a valuable aid as a tele- phone operator. EDWARD RESSLER General C onrre Ed Q . . 1 . 1 'Ffa .sa Comfnerrzal Cour:re 5 t 3 Physical education 2, 3, 4, soccer 3, 4g baseball 1, 2, 3, basketball 3. Ed never quite timed himself for he has always been two minutes late for each class. We all know why, Ed! But when it comes to baseball, nobobdy can beat you to it. eraf? ELIOT SMITH Smitty , General C aware Physical education 2, 3, 4, soccer 1, 2, 3, 4, baseball 1, 2, 3, basket- ball club 33 rifle club 2, chess 2. D.R.H.S. will never forget your portrayal of Petunia in the Senior skit. Everybody thinks you missed your calling with those eyes and lashes. Anytime you need extra cash we know Hollywood will welcome you with open arms. LOUIS j. SMITH Jasper General Courre First aid 2g physical education 3, 45 shop 2, 3, rifle 2, home ec. 2. jasper , a happy-go-lucky hunter of local fame, has provided many a laugh with his unusual interpretations of corny jokes. None of us can ever forget the literary gems you produced in Senior English period, Louie! Perhaps if you capture the Republican Candidacy for president the G.O.P. may have a chance to defeat F.D.R. someday. That, by the way, is a goal for your future endeavor, Lou! 13 HARLEY EDWARD TOWER Tarley BETTY M. STIRLING General Course Camera 2, 3, homemaking 1, 2, 3g chorus 2, 4, leaders 33 journalism 4, dancing 4, art Mg physical education 1, 3, 4. Betty, the blonde, blue-eyed lass from Brooklyn, entered the senior class this year and is now one of us . This scintillating fair-haired lass takes brown points and masculine hearts with the same sunny smile, so more power to you, Betty, for your stirling qualities! CATHERINE STOPA Cat General Courxe Chorus 1, 2, 4, scoops 3, physical education 3, baseball 1, 2. When confronted with the question What do you want to be when you get out of school? , Catherine replied, I still want to be a little girl just like I am now. With this attitude, hardly anything can stop Cat from being what she wants to be. General C ourre ' Handicraft 2 , woodshop 2 , dancing 2, rifle club fSergeantj 2g physical education 2, 35 journalism 4. What would any senior period be without a few of Harley's corny jokes? Although Harley attem ts to be serious while conducting a class meeting, inevitably the Mad, Russian pipes up with How do you do? Little does our chum realize that it is he. That's permissible, Harley, because we know that your carefree way can't fail to start you well on to the road of fame. MATHIAS CHARLES ZACK Mat Commercial C oume Shop 2, journalism Qassistant editor M yr. jg journalism club Qeditor and chiefj 4. Mat is one of the most needed fellows in our class because he takes his work seriously. His most outstanding work has been as editor of Ripples and This Year . It is most likely that someday Mat will have a success- ful gpaper of his own. The class of '44 will surely support it--one hun red percent. 14 ALBERT WELLS ZIEGRA B t C ll g C seba1l3 g phy 1 d t 2 3 4 5 67812 4h 1,zgj0uf1 34 hlply3h 1 2 3 d bt my f h d I-Ins melodious tenor voice was I d h t came to arguments, Bert' a member of th t g y l , V.

He rings the bellj Salesman: Could I interest you in-say, you look familiar! joan: Why you fresh thing! Louie Smith, what are you doing here? Louie: Oh, the gas business didn't turn out so well so I'm out on my own. joan: Well Louie, I wish you luck! Did you hear of Harry's promotion? Hes a commander now! Yes, of the Hoboken-Saint Blanche Ferry. After he left the Navy his longing for the water overcame him, so here he is! Louie: By the way, I see you and Harry did all right. Did you know that Holly Lewis became my blushing bride last month? joan: How thrilling! I had a letter from Mary Morris last week. She did the interior decorating on playboy Harley Tower's mansion. Remember how Harley saved his pennies in high school? Well, he'lI have to go on saving them after Mary gets through. Mary does everything in a big way, you know. Louie: Say that reminds me, Al Cofrank is making 'dough' hand over list now. He is the proprietor of the Deep River Bakery. joan: Remember Mat Zack, editor of Ripples and Rosa Chappel, secretary of journalism Club? Mat is now editor of the Bridgeport Herald with Rosa as his secre- tary. Louie: Allen Buckridge is taking pictures throughout Europe for Life magazine, you know. X yr X 16 f' joan: And what do you think Verne Brookes is doing? Hes talent scout for the Brooklyn Eagles. Who says being an Eagle Scout doesn't help a fellow to fly high? Louie: While we're on the class subject, Holly received a letter from Ruby Kurze, telling of her duties as physical instructor in one of the post war training centers. I imagine Ruby is known now as Eliot Sinatra Smythe. Winnie Haling is his collaborator as head of a matrimonial bureau. joan: Louie, did you read the marvelous book that Catherine Stopa and Verdith Nichols wrote entitled 'Men are Nice.' It's the book of the month! Louie: Speaking of celebrities, have you been following the World Series? Eddie Rcssler pitches and Pearl Batts. Eddie's side-kick, Joseph Miezjeski, is concert 'pianist with the Boston Symphony. He made quite a change from a mechanic as was his ambition in high school, don't you think? joan: What did you think of the new movie entitled, 'How jimmy Made Good,' in which Bea More is starred? It will undoubtedly bring her the Academy Award. Speaking of acting-remember how Dick Henry always loved Shakespeare? He's just finished his fifth year as Macbeth. Will wonders never cease? Do you follow Ippie's own radio program? Its SO romantic. 'The Sorrows of Soren,' every Saturday night at 10:30, over an international hook-up. Louie: Our classmates certainly have made a name for themselves although Bert Ziegra's business is dead. Everyone's dying to ride in his car. joan: But Louie, the surprise of surprises is Audrey Lindner. She is wardrobe mistress of M.G.M. in Hollywood. Remember I told you that Verne is a talent Scout, Well, Audrey furnishes the talent for which he is scouting! And speaking of our girls and the theatrical world, Bena Buracchi has taken over the Griswold Inn for special performances of her troupe. She won the title last year of 'Miss Connecticut's Burlesque Queen,' and Natalie Mislick and Marge Carlson are star performers in the Ice Capadesf' Louie: Alter all Carroll Calamaris fooling in high school he became a 'Chem Prof.' at Yale, no less. Speaking of colleges, Dick Cole is head of Vassar, and will iwonders never cease? Who could have guessed that Bette Eagan would make a sudden change from the Democratic party to become campaign manager for the Republican Party? After all F.D.R. had to slow down sometime. Louie: Good for Bette! By the way joan, what have you and Harry been doing for enjoyment? Why don't you join Holly and me and take in Bob Carlson's show at the Stork Club and Al Haas's 'bull throwing act' at the Rodeo? joan: That will be swell, Louie, it's a date! Louie takes 'suitcase' and his departure through the front door. All sound effects for the foregoing script are supplied by gremlins who remember the sounds effected by the class of '44! t1nhCLlesTumiml ol the Gilt-iss of 1911 I x i Realizing that our stay in Deep River High School is about to end, we the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty-four now being intellectually insecure and emotionally unbalanced hereupon do with utmost reverence bequeath to you, our friends and school- mates, these our last possessions, inadequate though they he with but one request: that you treasure and value them with high regard and carefully preserve them in your memories always. This is all that we beg of your kind hearts. To Mr. Farris, Mr. Muggleston, and Miss Day, we wish to extend our gratitude for the constructive advice they have so graciously bestowed upon us. To Miss Cahill we leave our sincere thanks for coming to be one of us. The Senior class express its heartfelt wishes for happiness, security, and success to Miss Braithwaite in future years. To Miss Keel we leave some heels for her shoes-of course, preferably made of :oft rubber. The Senior girls leave a giggle controller to Miss Tourville to be administered to near fatal victims of Ha Ha fits in future physical education groups. Please don't employ this handy device too frequently because serious girls aren't happy girls. To Mrs. Ely, Bette Stirling presents a bag of scrumptious cookies which should satisfy her ten o'clock hunger. By the way, Ma, do you miss our recess sandwich pool this year? We will Miss Bosquet an efficient high school secretary to write admittance slips for her tardy pupils. This will remove the big burden from Miss Bosquet's life and banish any gray hairs which might steal into her gorgeous red head. We present to Miss Hannon some of Dr. Quacks Vitamin tablets especially designed for growth. Follow the directions carefully, Miss Hannon, and some day your stature may astound your friends. Harry, Al, Bucky, and Bob leave with all of us a deep sense of pride and patrioiism in all that they are doing for us. To Ed Goff, Holly Lewis bequeaths her quietude. If that doesn't help, Mrs. Ely, try gagging him. It might do the trick. Carroll Calamari leaves an astonishing record of hours made up for absences. Under- classmen, please show your patriotism by being less lavish in taking furloughs. Dick Henry leaves our pleasant group a bit too soon. We'll miss your quiet ways, Dick. Cat Stopa leaves her love to Fred Watrous and a basket of apples to the science depart- ment. Louie Smith bequeaths his height to Eddie Berchulski. We hope this change in height will not hurt your popularity with the girls. ' To Tiny Parker, joan Nelson leaves her interest in the Navy. We don't mean Harry so take it easy, Tiny. joan still has the priority on his affections. Natalie Mislick leaves for Nurses Training. Good luck and happy nursing, Nat. 18 Eliot Smith leaves his dashing eyelashes to Tom Brookes to improve his already glamorous countenance. Alfred Cofrank leaves his good qualities as a French student to john Stanton. Il n ya pas de quoi, john. Eddie Ressler bequeaths his enviable record of achievements in sports to the younger fellows.

And while were in this lovely mood Where Friendships candles burn Let's give a toast-of them we boast To Audrey and to Verne. XWithin our book of memories Are others--not .1 few. Some come along by one and one And others-two by two. Heres Betty Eagan, if sl1e l1ad l1er way On this we could depend F.D. would ever be our guide With neither lease nor lend! We have Ll pack within our midst It numbers several wolves. Dick, Bert and Brud -and Harley too To moonlit glades do rush. And you should hear their howling When Bob Carlson hollers, Mush! Then one we have who tends his traps For beaver, skunk or mole, He loves the woods-and this trapper? Hes our honor man-Dick Cole. Pearl's our artist-and is she clever! With ink and colors too. She makes the Rip les sparkle For me and you and?-you! Before we leave the realm of art For sports and songs-let's see What would we do without them? Uur cheerers- Stub and Bea. Then Betty St1rling's come this year And we hope she'll never move. For we all feel that Betty Is strictly in the groove. One of our midst has rogueish eyes The girls' hearts go all limpy, When they see his shy and impish grin Who could this be-but Wimpy. Now who's this chap? He's all agog. He's minus coat and hat And such excitement! My oh my! Is it dead lines or engines, Mat? Here's a lassie fair and tall And Natalie is her name lf Cupids' darts dont strike her At nursing she'll win her fame. liame, did you say? And why not? For Olympics we have all the makings For Ed and Elliott and old jo Mo! Sports records are tl1eirs for the takings. But have we any pin up girls Wfithin our Hall of Fame? Indeed we have-the G.I's choice And Bena is her name. And now we are hailing A sweet u'iumme lass Her gifts she is always concealing Until the right time wl1en shes needed the most Then Winnie will then be revealing. And here are a couple of pitchers Of quite different talents, it's true For while Ruby's a whiz with a baseball Our Ippie -he pitches the woo. If all were as quiet as I-Iolly And as nice and considerate too A teacher's job would be heaven. I'll say Right! to that one. Wont you? Rosa and Mag Carlson come in for their turn now, They have what it takes in every way, So stand up, kids and take a big bow. A tall young man approaches Within his hand a suit case lt's jasper Smith-with his beaming smile The best of sports-he sets the pace. Cudgy Nichols' smiling face. And gay infectious giggle Have brightened many a gloomy day She's a flirt-but not too fickle. One of our heroes, Al Haas is the name To this there is just no retort, Unless he has changed, and we don't thing he has, Has a sweetheart in every port. And here's Cat Stopa-my! what a smile! She's the friendliest of folk. And though she seldom cracks one She can surely take a joke. We had two Alans in our group But both have left us yearning For the gay good days before they went: For Bucky -the air corps-for Scotty more learning. So God speed-good Ship '44, O'er a sea of troubled waters You're helping to build a brave free world For all our sons and daughters!

Its crowning achievement, perhaps, has been the publishing of This Year in spite of many unforeseen difficulties and drawbacks encountered during the period of its preparation. The entire undertaking was begun much earlier than usual in order to as- sure publication of the yearbook. All written material was completely edited by De- cember seventeenth and individual senior photos and group pictures were also ready on this date. Mathias Zack, editor-in chief, and Verne Brookes were selected to rep- resent the journalism group at the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Convention in New York City, from March twenty-third to March twenty-fifth, along with the club's advisors, Mrs. Sarah Ely and Miss Vesta Tourville. 29 5 if Iliff Fmt Row: Carlson, Berchulski, Ressler, Lukie, Zupan, Sindelar, Comstock, Negrelli.

This years hockey team had a reasonably successful season, winning three games, tying one and losing one. Three afternoons weekly found the girls out on the athletic tield receiving constant and thorough drill. This practice was made possible to a large degree by the willingness and cooperation of the eighth grade girls who faithfully reported to play. lt is the sincere hope of the girls that the interest might carry on into future successful seasons. 31 v 'Ullman 531319 lElRrrln4lE1u1r 'fx 6 x K f -- W2 STUDENT COUNCIL JAFETY P-0 TRDL 'NNW bs. 1 . n gr .
