James Farquharson 28 GIgAA, cAiAiosu , East Haven High School East Haven, Connecticut Dear Classmates ot 1942, The hazy veil of time slides and quietly falls to a momentous morning in September 1938; when 156 wide-eyed, excited freshmen gathered to begin their first adventure at the East Haven High School. A successful and busy year of scholastic work, sports, clubs, and assembly programs was on its threshold. Early fall brought the election of student council representatives. Phoebe Lang, Robert Taylor, Patricia FitzPatrick, William Clancy, Dorothy Fitzsimmons, Robert Coe, Justine Rose, and Joseph Rocco were elected. They assumed their responsibilities with new-found freshmen confidence. Numerous clubs and sports next claimed our attention. That well-known personage, Harry Mack, quickly became noted for his work in the Debating Club, while many of our potential theater stars rose to fame in two plays, ''Audition'' and Junior's Moustache. Muriel Carter, Pat FitzPatrick, Harry Mack, Walter Miller, and Dorothy Fitzsimmons gave noted performances in the beginning of their high school acting careers. The Dance Club gave many freshmen an introduction to the finer arts of swinging and swaying in time to their favorite tunes. Music also played a great part in our school life. Phyllis Warner and Grace Daum lent their talents to the orchestra, while several others belonged to the Glee Club. These music organizations provided entertainment for several assemblies and outside affairs. All types of sports intrigued our ever-active freshmen. Chick DeFilippo and Marcus Gandossy were captains of two intra-mural touch football teams. Practice and recognition for our future court and baseball stars came into prominence. The girls too, made the headlines with their ping pong, deck tennis, volley ball, and basketball as only they could play it. Stella Pawlikowski, Beverly Munson, Rita Kelly, and Emma Cefarelli received awards for their outstanding sport activities. Along with the whipping winds of March came our first class meeting which was held in the cafeteria. Class officers, Joseph Rocco, president; James MacCormick, vice-president; Barbara Walldorff, secretary; and Rita Kelly, treasurer; who had been elected during the late winter, presided. Extensive plans for a freshman dance were discussed. Then came April and the Blue and Gold Varsity Show colored by the dancing and singing of Phoebe Lang, Rita Kelly, Audrey Wright, Helen Keyes, Teedums Burgess, and Muriel Carter. May and June arrived flavored with the sweet doses of two class meetings and one dose of real work in recapturing lost knowledge for those unavoidable final exams. At last our eagerly awaited summer vacation arrived, bringing to a close our freshman year. 29 SOPHOMORE YEAR September again! The joys of summer fade into the distance. Summer romances and the old swimming hole are just memories as a brand new sophomore class — old timers now at high school procedure — assembled in the auditorium. Crisp October eleventh saw a buzz of activity in the auditorium as a sophomore election meeting was in progress. Joseph Rocco, again our choice for president. Nelson Smith—our new vice-president, Barbara Waldorff—twice-elected secretary, and Eugene Williams, the new keeper of our treasury, assumed their new duties. Phoebe Lang was elected chairlady of the committee to plan future sophomore activities. The student council, our pride in student government, was livened by the newly-elected sophomore representatives: Willard Stevenson, Barbara Walldorff, Violet Moore, Nelson Smith, Joseph Rocco, Gloria Palmieri, Albert Bourget, and June Cassan. Our own dance, the Sophomore Hop, was the event of 1939 for us. The gymnasium was cleverly decorated with gayly colored balloons and lights. The many who attended enjoyed a very pleasant evening. Norman Hall and his swingsters supplied the music. A profit of twelve dollars was another reward for our untiring efforts. Mystery, suspense, and a dash of comedy intrigued our fellow students during the production of Murder In Hollywood which starred Phillip Griffin with his oversized cigar, William MacArthur, Sybil Bailey, Barbara Walldorff, Muriel Carter, Judith Buechele, and Eleanor Lowenthal. Between our endless miles of beloved homework and various clubs, sports came into their own. Our athletic sophomore girls and boys learned the finer points of swimming and diving at the Y.W. and Y.M.C.A. as members o' the Swimming Club. Improved games of basketball were enjoyed by all. The bowling fad tempted six of our sophomore girls, while others participated in ping pong and deck tennis. Along with spring fever came our ever popular baseball team. Eva Marini, Justine Rose, Barbara Walldorff, and Eleanor Lowenthal earned awards for their efforts and co-operation in several sports. Sailor Maids —a musical comedy—starred those masters of the vocal cords, the songbirds of our class, Patricia FitzPatrick, Dorothy Fitzsimmons, Virginia Shepard, Herbert Glenewinkel, and Walter Miller. This was a triumph for them and for the whole sophomore class. Clubs — clubs of every kind and description were eagerly joined: the Hostess Club, the way to social etiquette; the Typing Club, the road to the business world; the Debating Club for future lecturers; and the Glee Club, for lovers of music. Harry Mack, Muriel Carter, Patricia FitzPatrick, and Walter Miller became members of the Thespians. Numerous sophomores participated in the annual Varsity Show. Dorothy Fitzsimmons and Virginia Shepard were featured in a skit. The singing and dancing by the jitterbugs of our class were also enjoyed by the audience. Our last class meeting was held in February. Since many of us were anxious to wear the seal of the East Haven High School, we discussed the purchase of class rings. On those hot June days we prepared for our final exams. Soon we would be Juniors — upper-classmen at last! Finally, with happy hearts we greeted our summer vacation. 30 JUNIOR YEAR I know I'll never forget our first day of school in September of 1940. We did feel so superior to the freshmen and sophomores, but we soon realized our standing when addressed by the lofty seniors. Nevertheless, we renewed friendships and enthusiastically discussed our extra-curricular activities. I remember some of you who felt argumentative joined the Debating Club while others found their diversion in the Photography, Junior Editor's, Dramatic, Hostess, or Typing Clubs. Then too, we'll never forget how some of the boys, upon hearing of the organization of a Cooking Club, readily donned aprons and set about the duties of cooks. Soon after the opening of school, representatives from the home rooms were elected to the Student Council. Those lucky juniors who firmly upheld our problems concerning the school activities were: Patricia FitzPatrick, Philip Tarbell, Ruth Judge, Marcus Gan-dossy, Mary Dolan, Frank Callahan, Mary Weber and Edward Carey. Then we were confronted with class elections. When the final vote was taken, we discovered that Edward Carey was to be our class president and that Albert Bourget would assist him as vice-president. Phoebe Lang was elected secretary and Lilliam Blokland, treasurer. Besides being the best junior class the school ever had—so we thought—some of us showed our beauteous qualities at the Hostess Club's Annual Fashion Show. Also in April, members of the Orchestra and Glee Club participated in two concerts, one in Branford and one in East Haven High School. Even as juniors we were well represented in the field of sports, with Chick DeFilippo Robert Sheiffele, and John Miller deserving much credit for their excellent performances as members of the Varsity basketball team while Calvin Iezzi, William Clancy and Willard Stephenson were staunch supporters of the Junior Varsity. Thereafter, life seemed to cease until we were awakened to the fact that exams were almost upon us and, if we passed, we would soon hold that enviable title of seniors. SENIOR YEAR At last we attained our goal—Seniors in East Haven High Schol. No longer did we feel inferior to anyone (except the faculty) and it was now our turn to greet the underclassmen. None of us will ever forget the eventful date, May 16, for it was then that we had our own prom. The huge gymnasium was transformed from an athletic center to an outdoor garden scene, complete with a white picket fence, a wishing well, and a bubbling fountain. The great success of this prom, dedicated to the alumni, was the result of untiring efforts of Miss O'Connor, our class adviser; Rita Kelly and Edward Carey, co-chairman and their committee, Dorothy Flynn, Phoebe Lang, Dorothy Fitzsimmons, Barbara Hall, James Anastasio, and Harry Mack. Weary from dancing all evening we returned home to dream of the best prom ever held at East Haven High School. 31 ■ Before we realized it, elections for Student Council representatives and class officers took place. Anne Lecza, Theodore Grandshaw, Russell Miller, Phyllis Warner, Stephanie Pashynski, Cosmo Melillo, Natalie Carlson, Edward Doheny were elected members of the Student Council. To Cosmo Melillo went the presidency, and to Theodore Grandshaw, the vice-presidency of that organization. On October 23, we learned who, among our classmates, had received the coveted title of senior class officers. To the great delight and satisfaction of all, Frank Callahan was elected president to hold a position that only four years agt his brother had held. Muriel Carter was voted vice-president; Violet Moore, secretary; and Lillian Blokland, treasurer. Therefore, placing our trust and confidence in them, we settled down to homework and extra-curricular activities, but not for long. Try-outs were held for roles in our senior class play, Growing Pains by Aurania Rou-verol and under the direction of Miss Margaret Hunt of the faculty, Dolores Hagerty and Russell Miller were selected to carry the leads. Lucy Trytko, Dorothy Fitzsimmons, and Edward Carey were also placed in appropriate roles as were the other members of the cast. In November two scoops were released: the staffs of the Comet and Pioneer. We learned that Dolores Hagerty was appointed editor-in-chief of the Pioneer, with Marilyn Bradley and Edward Carey, associate editors; Rita Kelly, business manager; Herbert Glenewinkel and Lucy Trytko, associate business managers; and a large staff of assistant typists, art and photography editors. The second scoop revealed the fact that Ruth Judge was chosen by Miss Grace Blanchard as editor-in-chief of the Comet. Other seniors chosen were: Stella Pawlikowski, Virginia Shepard, Dolores Hagerty, Phyllis Warner, Philip Griffin, Lillian Blokland, Rita Kelly, Doris Blockland, Muriel Carter, Ruth Cook and Helen Keyes. Then we continued on our way thinking what fun it was being seniors. Some of us participated in assemblies while others showed talents in sports. An added attraction to many of the sports events were the cheerleaders. The senior class being represented by Audrey Wright, captain; Phoebe Lang, Florence Saranecki and Lillian Burgess. Many seniors, after trial tests, were made members of the Traffic Squad and Carol Siemiatkowski was elected captain. Shortly afterwards, Rita Kelly was honored with the coveted D.A.R. award as East Haven's good citizenship senior. On December 8, the memorable attack on Pearl Harbor was the topic of discussion in many of our classes. Although none of our classmates left school to join the forces, we all assisted by buying defense stamps and bonds. In February, graduation and class night speakers were announced. From then until tonight there were secrets galore, the answers to which, if not already solved, will be revealed in the very near future. Theodore Grandshaw was elected class day chairman with Lucy Trytko as co-chairman. They were aided by many committees all under the understanding direction of our beloved class adviser. Miss Laura O'Connor. And now, our goal has been reached. We have passed another milestone on the road of life and are about to enter an uncertain future—a future of turmoil, grief, dictators, war! But, we are part of the younger generation. We shall not bow to a foe. We have been brought up in a democracy, we have been taught democracy, and we shall forever defend democracy with the spirit that has carried this graduating class through twelve years of school. 32 VndeA yuiA QJfJficesU JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Left to right: Photine Malliaris Mr. Daniel Fitts Stanley Strickland Miss Grace Blanchard Anne Jones class advisers Grace Hanson SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Left to right: Mr. Caryle Frawley class adviser William Norton Betty Green Claire McCarten Charlotte Gallo Miss Zita Matthews class adviser Left to right: Andrew DePalma president Clarebelle Tucker vice-president FRESHMEN CLASS OFFICERS Robert Gandossy treasurer Miss Alice Hall Shirley Cordner Mr. Thomas Murray secretary (not in picture) faculty advisers 3: 7Gltinh to- Qlcvuf, by James Rogan As we stand at the base ol this mountain, Bathed in a shaft of light; We gaze up in awe and amazement Toward the top towering up out of sight. We know not the joys in that heaven, But like the Swiss Climber we go And let not one junction divert us Nor ever the travel get slow. In our path is a boulder to stop us. But the way we must forge is not 'round; For the boulder is just some experience That we have been warned would be found. Now, some may drowse at the lodges; All the days of their lives they will stay, But the ones that mount on in the journey Will find that the struggle will pay. There are beckoning routes labyrinthine, Alluring toward indolent gain, But few of our class will turn down them— Few yield to the disappointment of pain. But the climb that the class takes together Is the hard one without any rests; And they at last reach that glory As they ascend this mountain, Success. 34 Detach along this line for framing. go cn Student Go-uucil The Student Council enjoyed another successful year under the leadership of Faculty Representatives Miss Alice Hall and Mr. Carl Garvin. Student leadership was fostered by Cosmo Melillo, president; Theodore Grandshaw, vice-president; and Frances Cox, secretary-treasurer. The Council is organized to provide for the establishment, control and maintenance of school functions and organizations falling generally under the heading of extra-curricular activities. It included a total membership of thirty-six students, two from each home room. Regular meetings were held and the results of the council discussions formed the basis of reports given by home room representatives during the homeroom periods. Much discussion centered around the topic involving the Seventh period. This was given a trial through the action of the Scholarship Committee. It is difficult to estimate the importance of such a student organization in any school. Surely the Student Council is an excellent illustration of Democracy in action. 37 'live Squad First row, left to right: A. Wright, I. Reynolds, D. Flynn. L. Trytko, C. Siemiatkowski, D.

Maintaining the fine traditions set up when East Haven High School was first opened in 1936, the Traffic Squad with Miss Daisy Geenty as faculty adviser, has enjoyed another profitable year of service. Meetings are held every Monday at which time procedure of a definitely parliamentary type prevails. Students are assigned definite posts throughout the school to maintain order and discipline. The members of the Traffic Squad add their influence and spirit at fire drills, assembly programs, and air-raid drills. The two outstanding events during the year are the Mardi Gras, scheduled this year for May 29 and the Induction Ceremony. Approximately thirty-five students, members of the Junior and Senior classes, were inducted into membership this year on April 1, 1942. (No punintended.) At this time the following were inducted into office: MAR 01 GRAS Captain...................Carol Siemiatkowski Co-Captain.....................Albert Bourget Secretary......................Dorothy Flynn Treasurer.............................Lucy Trytkc Lieutenants . Dorothy Flynn, Evelyn Johnson, Irving Reynolds and Dorothy Fitzsimmons Members of the Traffic Squad can be recognized by the attractive arm bands which they wear while on duty.

Second row, leit to right: Stella Pawlikowski, Miss Grace Blanchard, Miss Mary Sharon, faculty advisers, Lillian Blokland, Rita Kelly. With the traditions of six years of publication behind them, the Comet Staff of 1942 was off to a grand start with an All-American rating — the highest award given by the National Scholastic Press Association. Participants of the job of nosing about for news were drawn from all four classes — all ready, willing and eager. From the start, cub reporters were spurred on to their best by an open competition for staff positions. The staff was especially proud of the October issue, with an extra nod of praise to the sports page. A special feature of the Comet this year was the Rotogravure Section furnished through the cooperation of the National Scholastic Press. Much credit is due to the faculty advisers, Miss Grace Blanchard, editorial adviser, and Mary Sharon, business adviser. We'll never forget the newshound's motto: Get the story — but get it right. [jo-uSi+iaU'i+n Gluk 39 JUNIOR VARSITY CHEERLEADERS The Junior Varsity Cheerleaders have been organized for the first time this year under the direction of Mr. Joseph Mayo. Its membership includes eight girls. The girls on the J.V. team include the following: Anne Lecza, Barbara Wall- dorff, Dana Davis, Shirley Fairchild, Beverly Munson, Dorothy Fasig, Jane Leary, and Betty Nelson, captain. GIRLS' SWIMMING CLUB With Athletics for All” the keynote of the 1941-2 Extra-Curricular activities program, approximately twenty-five girls participated in the activities of the Swimming Club under the supervision of Miss Phyllis Carangelo of the faculty. Early in the season the girls worked on the development of the stroke, and at the end of the semester displayed excellent form in correct swimming and diving. RED CROSS Two representatives from each home room were elected in October to membership in the Red Cross. This newly organized club held its meetings every third Monday under the direction of Miss Marjorie Norton and Miss Alice Hall with Lucy Trytko, Gordon Mead, and Jeannette Costanzo as student officers. The members made Civilian Defense arm bands, and directed the making of scrap books and yarn dolls for the Red Cross. Sewing and knitting, a vital part in defense during these times, have also been included in the activities of this well-organized and successful club. VARSITY MANAGERS The Varsity Managers staff is composed of Manager Dominick Melillo and assistants: James Saville, Richard Miller, Michael Setaro, Charles Setaro, Robert Landrey and Arthur Limoncelli. The managers keep the athletic equipment in good condition, keep the time at games, as well as keep scores. The timer for basketball this year was Dominick Melillo. The scorers were James Saville and Richard Miller. 40 JUNIOR THESPIANS The club meets each Thursday with Miss Stevenson as faculty adviser. Student officers include: Photine Malliaris as president, Carolyn Murphy as vice-president, Betty Tucker as secretary and Edward Hearn as treasurer. In February, the junior Thespians presented a play entitled Woman o Judgment. The cast included: Mary O'Connell, Betty Tansey, Marjorie Howard, Betty Tucker and Esther Harrison. THE RIFLE CLUB The Rifle Club, designed to teach its members the correct way of shooting as well as to provide them with some real fun, was much enjoyed by its members again this year. At the City Service Range the members of the club, under the supervision of Mr. Daniel Fitts, learned the fundamentals of proper shooting. HOSTESS CLUB To be of service to the school from a social standpoint, and to help girls develop personality are the basic principles on which the Hostess Club is founded. This year, Betty Holt, Jenny Siniscalchi and Betty Tucker were elected as president, treasurer and secretary, respectively. Miss Hall, faculty adviser, supervised the girls in ail their activities which proved to be a credit to her and the school. The girls, in their attempt to associate with and entertain people with more poise and assurance, have been hosts to members of the Faculty, visiting groups, and students. A style show was the usual annual attraction. THE DANCE CLUB Members of the Dance Club, under the capable supervision of Miss Roberts, meet in the gym every Wednesday and dance to the music of such famous bands as Tommy Dorsey, Harry James, Jimmy Dorsey and Vaughn Monroe. Instructions are given to inexperienced dancers on the balcony of the gym, and others dance on the regular gym floor. The dues, in the form of low cost admission taken in at the door, are used primarily to purchase new records. Ann Jones was elected president, and Carol Simoni was chosen secretary-treasurer. Good times are had by all who attend!! 41 SPANISH CLUB With their special dictionaries and copies of Irreducible Minimums ol Spanish Grammar under their arms, the members of the Spanish Club hurry each Wednesday afternoon — at the close of school — to room 204, where they spend a delightful time with Miss Alice Gunnip learning Spanish. Club members greet each other with their memorized Spanish salutations. They practice in pronouncing Spanish words. They speak of the weather and the recent news — all in Spanish. They sing and dance to Spanish recordings — learning and having fun at the same time. BOYS' COOKING CLUB Ever since women have reverted to masculine clothing and vocations, the men have decided to invade the feminine world. Their first step towards this goal was to organize a cooking club exclusively for boys. The only woman connected with the club was Miss Marjorie Norton, the supervisor, who did her best to convey the culinary art to her young male charges. The boys worked two in a kitchen, wearing white aprons just like any famous chef. The officers are: President, Rome Pao-lillo; treasurer, Andrew DePalma. STAGECRAFT CLUB Every Tuesday afternoon the members of the Stagecraft Club assemble in the shop with Mr. David Reed, club adviser, to perform any stage tasks necessary for the coming week. Even though these boys receive little recognition for their services, many of the stage arrangements which have helped in the success of the leading productions of the year, would have been impossible without their efforts. Fred Pommer is president. CHESS AND CHECKERS CLUB One of the new clubs formed this year is the Chess and Checkers Club under the leadership of Mr. Edward Sugrue. The purpose of the club is to further interest in the playing of chess and checkers, to improve the skill of individual members of the organization, and to quicken mental reaction. The three officers include: Robert Wilson, president; Alva Bradley, vice-president; and Florence Niedzwiecki, secretary-treasurer. Meetings are held weekly. 42 OtyolteAi ia Violins, cello, bass, and brass — all types of instruments were used in the composition of the orchestra of East Haven High School in 1942. In March the members of the musical units were hosts to the Housatonic Music Festival. From this we have fond memories of Festival March, Intermezzo, and Schubert's Minuette. The orchestra functioned for the weekly assemblies, Blue and Gold Varsity Show, and the senior class play. The combined concert of the Glee Club and Orchestra proved to be very worth while this year. Qlee Gluk This year eighty voices constituted the East Haven Glee Club. Their interpretation of Will You Remember by Romberg Riegger at the Housatonic League Festival was voted the favorite with the members of the Glee Club. The Glee Club participated in a number of assembly programs during the school year. The Battle Hymn oi the Republic, Columbia the Gem of the Ocean, and Tenting Tonight were outstanding selections given at the Lincoln Commemorative Assembly held in February in the auditorium. The year concludes the fourth successful year of this organization under the leadership of Mrs. Wilhelmina Strandberg. 43 eA tincj, GtJx Left to right: Janet Carlson, Miss Mary Rocco, Faculty Adviser; Muriel Carter, Harry Mack.

With several new junior and sophomore members swelling its numbers, the Debating Club under the supervision of Miss Mary Rocco began plans early in the season for competition in the state triangular debates. Due in part to the war situation and increasing difficulties of transportation, these debates were combined into a single round of oratory at Hartford High School on May 14. Encouraged by President Harry Mack, both the affirmative and negative teams participated at the clinic on the topic. Resolved: That the present high school educational system adequately prepares youth for living. Earlier in the year, following impromptu cross-questioning periods among themselves, East Haven's debaters went to New Britain High School for practice debates. Here on December 12, both pro and con debated with Manchester High School students. Comments and criticisms received here proved helpful when the negative team went to Branford, April 8, for a debate there. Although defeated, much value was gained from this and other debates and this progressive organization looks forward to an even more profitable debating season next year. 44 llte Vateity Cltee dea eM.

The annual Blue and Gold Varsity Show is the brainchild of this group. 45 Section, GIgAA, Play Growing Pains, a comedy of adolescence in three acts, was selected by the seniors and the Thespians as their combined production. The play, under the direction of Miss Margaret Hunt, was presented in the auditorium of the high school on November 18 and 19, 1941. It was acclaimed by large audiences as the most finished comedy production yet offered in the high school. The talented cast included Russell Miller as George McIntyre, Dolores Hagerty as Terry McIntyre, Lucy Trytko as Mrs. McIntyre, Edward Carey as Professor McIntyre, Shirley Olson as Sophie the maid, Ruth Judge as Mrs. Patterson, Muriel Carter as Elsie Patterson, Harry Mack as the traffic officer, Albert Bourget as Dutch, Philip Griffin as Brian, Philip Tarbell as Omar, William Mintz as Pete, Dorothy Fitzsimmons as Prudence, Audrey Wright as Jane, Phoebe Lang as Patty, Anne Lecza as Miriam, Florence Saranecki as Vivian, Jean Ingham as Sue, and Eugene Williams as Bill. Each interpreted his role with the finest of dramatic technique. First row, leit to right: Muriel Carter, Anne Lecza, Shirley Olson. Florence Saranecki.

The members of Thespian Troup No. 63 under the leadership of Miss Louise Scott of the faculty enjoyed again the many enjoyable dramatic activities of this organization. Other than acting the Thespians have taken full charge of the makeup for the Varsity Show, the Senior Class play, and other dramatic activities of the school. This year for the first time members of the Thespians directed all Junior Thespian and Grammar School dramatic club plays. The members of this organization are chosen by dramatic ability and also by the Merit System. An induction ceremony is held twice a year. Thespian Troup officers included Patricia Fitz-Patrick as president and Muriel Carter as secretary-treasurer.

Fortunately, the teams here in East Haven have much to look forward to next year. Captain Chick DeFilippo, Ed Carey, and Johnnie Miller will seek athletic positions on other teams, but those remaining should form a nucleus of a very good ball club next year. In the meantime, since baseball is crowding out memories of basketball in '42 as this writeup is going to press, let's all look forward to late '42 and '43 when we can once more jam the gym and give a long cheer for the Easties.

Playing during the noon hour, boys were divided into three divisions. A, B, and C. The A Division included the Foxon Hounds, The Hawks, Northeastern Wildcats, and Mac's All Stars. The B Division included Yale, St. Vincent's, the Tigers, Notre Dame, and the Foxon Midgets (no relation to the Foxon Hounds). The C Division included the Wreckers, the Comets, Frawley's Big Five and the Wolves. Good, clean, hard-fought basketball games resulted. The Foxon Hounds by winning six games and losing none won in Division A. Yale, winning six and losing none, won in Division B„ while the Wreckers by winning six and losing none championed the cause of Division C. Well over one hundred boys competed in the three divisions, about fourteen teams. Although, the Pioneer goes to press prior to the opening of spring sports, Mr. Maher informs the writer that a familiar set-up is planned for softball this spring. Tentatively, the plan calls for well over one hundred boys taking part with possibly two leagues of six teams each. This may go over the above estimated figures. Congratulations to Mr. Maher and the boys who made the above fine record possible. 52 Squad, JleadeA'i Firsf row, left to right: Anne Ciopryna, Anne Jones, Angela, Albano, Eva Marini, Justine Rose, Beverly Munson, Mildred Romano.

The Squad Leaders, as the name implies, consists of selected girls, whose primary function is leadership in their respective gym classes. These leaders aid Miss Roberts, supervisor of Physical Education for girls, in checking attendance and assisting in the various gym activities. In addition, these girls assist Miss Roberts by coaching the girls of the grammar schools of East Haven one afternoon a week. This year, the Squad Leaders participated with girls of other high schools in a Play Day at the Arena in New Haven. The development of qualities of leadership is the primary purpose of this organization. 53 QilU,' 9ntsiamu ial feaAhetball The girls this year were organized in teams from each of the four classes to compete in intramural basketball. Stressing fair play, fun, and friendly rivalry as in the past, the Sophomore girls avenged the winning freshmen combination of '41 by winning the championship. If, as it seems, each class is destined to win a championship the Juniors, winners of this year's volley ball competition, should be the winners next year as seniors. This will have to leave the seniors to win in '44. Don't give up hope Seniors!

Qi ih' SH iGsmiiAal Valley Hall Operating on a similar plan that is used in basketball, the girls, organized by classes again enjoyed some very close and interesting competition in volley ball again this year. The Juniors, avenging the Freshmen in '41, came through this year in grand style to win the championship in intramural volley ball. Intramural basketball and volley ball competition was under the direction of Miss Kathleen Roberts, head of the Girls' Physical Education Department. Again, congratulations to Miss Roberts and the girls for their fine work in girls' athletics. 54 CjiAsli' AtUteiu i Individual Champions GIRLS' INTRAMURAL ATHLETICS Tennis: Claire Malcolm Baseball: Grace Daum Golf: Barbara Hall Roller-Skating: Marilyn Smith Bowling: Anne Jones Individual Champions GIRLS' INTRAMURAL ATHLETICS Swimming: Angela Albano and Eleanor Hogan Ping-Pong: Dolores Hagerty and Anne Lecza Badminton: Genoefa Szuszkie- wicz and Barbara McLay In these days of stress on physical fitness among Young America, it is only natural that Miss Kathleen Roberts, Head of the Physical Education Department for girls in East Haven High School, would plan an intensive program of physical activities for the girls of our school. In previous editions of the Pioneer, pictorial accounts of athletics for girls have been rather limited. Usually these accounts have considered intramural volley ball and basketball only. The Pioneer Staff wishes to recognize the progressive work of the Girls' Physical Education Department by devoting a page to individual champions in other athletic activities in addition to the volley ball and basketball champions. On this page the reader will find pictures of champions in eight other athletic activities namely: Tennis, Baseball, Golf, Roller-Skating, Bowling, Swimming, Ping-Pong and Badminton. Congratulations to Miss Roberts and the girls for their fine work in furthering the cause of Athletics for All. 55 TRACK TEAM First row, left to right: A. Lowenthal, Robert Wetmore.

The Varsity Track Team, now in preparation for the third season of competition, plans, as the Pioneer goes to press, a series of six meets having scheduled competition with Hamden, Commercial, West Haven, Hillhouse, and Milford, plus the Connecticut State Relays at Storrs, Conn., on April 18. Under the watchful eye of Coach MacPartland and the student leadership of Captain Glenewinkel, the members of the team can be seen daily taking workouts in the field outside the gymnasium. Twelve events comprise the efforts of the track team including the 100 yd., 220 yd., 440 yd., 880 yd., and the mile for running; the relays, pole vault, high jump, broad jump, shot-put, discus, and javelin. Tentatively the following boys will compete in these events: 100 yard dash: Wetmore and Lowenthal 220 yard dash: Palmer and Grasso 440 yard dash: Palmer and Grasso 880 yard run: Setaro, Marino, Paolillo Milers: Carter, Strickland, Hogan, Glenewinkel, Kelsey, Palmer 4 man relay: Palmer, Wetmore, Lowenthal, Grasso Pole vault: DeLucia, Glenewinkel Broad jump: Wetmore, Grasso High jump: Moore, Lowenthal, Glenewinkel Shot-put: Bradley, Wetmore, Lowenthal Javelin: Costanzo, Glenewinkel Discus: Wetmore Three members of the team will be lost by graduation this year including Glenewinkel, Hogan and Palmer, but prospects for 1943 seem bright. 56 VoMity, feoAelxalt Early in April this year, the members of the baseball squad reported in order to prepare for another season of scholastic baseball in the Housatonic League.

Pat: Your name, please? Mary: Mary Weber. Pat: Why, that sounds familiar! You look remarkably like an East Haven High classmate of mine. Mary: And so I am! But—but, I can't recall—why, of course, Pat FitzPatrick! You, a beautician? Weren't you always interested in a career in radio? Pat: Oh, I'm just substituting here at Betty Ryan's shop for Emma Cefarelli. She is an attendant today at the wedding of Dorothy Flynn and Eugene Williams, back home in East Haven. Mary: Will wonders ever cease! But what are you doing for a living? Pat: Well, you mentioned my long-ago interest in radio. After the Singing Lady retired, N.B.C. hired me for her program. Of course, that's only part-time work. I'm Mrs. Miller now, you know. Mary: Miller! You don't mean Russ? Pat: Who else? Did you know that he has won five blue ribbons in the past month? Mary: Quite a record! Russ always did like horses. Have you your own stables? Pat: Horses? Oh, no! We won the ribbons with our Angora cats. At first Russ didn't care for the idea of raising them, but now he's resigned to it. Mary: Why don't you send that news into Believe It or Not by Rogan? Jimmy finally won legal rights to the title of this famous feature when Ripley's lawyer, Nelson Smith, learned that that plagiarist, Rogan, was his old pal, Jimmy. Pat: Ha, ha! Speaking of newspapers — many of our classmates have crashed the headlines since Jim Anastasia became managing editor of The New Haven Register. Fred Pommer's photo graced the front page a while ago. He has just returned from Oxford University after studying there on a Rhodes scholarship. Mary: Good for Fred! He certainly deserved the best. By the way, who do you think will win the senatorial election, Frank Callahan or Carol Siematkowski? Pat: That's hard to say. Stephanie Pashynski and Stella Pawlikowski wrote me from Washington, where they hold important secretarial positions, that a landslide is expected for Frank, but Ed Giering's column, Inside Washington, seems to favor Carol. 58 Mary: Well — that's the way it goes! Did you hear about the excitement last night over at Pier 57 when the whole town turned out to send Ruth Judge and Eleanor Lowenthal off on their expedition to Africa? They are to teach voice culture to the Ubangi savages. Natalie Carlson went along with them as a secretary, but in her spare time she'll conduct classes in the Art of Using Lipstick. Pat: Those glamour girls, Muriel Beebe and Tina Rose, were in here just before you came. They've certainly made a success of posing for Chesterfield cigarette ads. Mary: Yes, most of our high school chums are names in the news. Bev Munson's South American good-will dance tour was a great success! And in more ways than one. She brought back Louise Saranitsky, June Cornell and Mildred Hempstead who were stranded down there in Peru since their swing band broke up last fall. Pat: While we're on the subject of music—Andrew Salvo is making quite a name for himself since he won an audition with Koussevitsky. Phyllis Warner, veteran of two seasons, was there to greet him. She's the only girl trombonist in the symphony. Mary: Grand! And wait till I tell you this! You remember Chick DeFilippo, our star athlete, don't you? Well, since the time that Uncle Don was drafted back in 1943, Chick has been pinch-hitting for him, reading the funnies to the kiddies on Sunday mornings. Pat: Honestly? Chick, of all people! I was talking to Phoebe Lang the other day. Her ring is gorgeous! She and Ted Grandshaw have finally named the Day. Mary: This must be the jumping off season! Phil Griffin and Dottie Fitzsimmons were married just about this time last year. Their chicken farm in Foxon is doing a thriving business. Pat: Speaking of happy marriages, Jayne Leary has her career as well as letting Cliff have his. She gives dancing lessons to the children of Cliff's law clients. Mary: Remember Joe Hickey from New York? After graduation he went to work at Elmer Smyack's exclusive fine arts gallery in Rockefeller Center. One day a Hollywood Talent Scout spotted him, and he has a ten-year contract now with M. G. M. Pat: Wouldn't it be grand if he should meet Tee Burgess out there? She's fencing instructress for the new and better serial, Superman, starring Johnny Miller. Mary: Even so, Hollywood hasn't a monopoly on East Haven talent. Did you see the Hogan and Hanley Circus last week? Pat: I certainly did! Everyone praised the marvelous lighting effects. 1 understand that the artists were none other than Shirley Olson, Grace Daum and Louise Tolento. Did you notice the clerk in the first ticket office? She looked familiar, yet I couldn't place her. Mary: Oh, yes! It was Yolanda Porpora, a chief stockholder in the circus. Of course, you couldn't miss Herbie Glenewinkel in the Side Show. He never stopped growing and is now the world's tallest man. Pat: No, I didn't see him, but I spent two hours watching Joe Rocco's colony of baboons. He's called the present day Martin Johnson, you know. 59 Mary: Look! Isn't that Ruth Cook going into Hazel Buchanan's Bookshop across the way? Pat: Most likely. She spends many hours there reading all the best sellers. Who would have thought that Ruth would turn into a bookworm? Mary: Well, it takes all kinds to make a world. Here's an unusual occupation: Muriel Carter, Helen Keyes and Rita Kelly, those incomparable colleens, are running week-end clipper excursions to Ireland. Business isn't so bad either, according to what Capt. Ed Doheny told me. Pat: If you're looking for an ideal vacation spot, why don't you take a ride up to the newly improved summer resort, Momauguin-By-The-Sea. I'm sure Curtis Palmer, the owner, would be glad to see you again. It's too bad you weren't there last week when a major catastrophe took place. Three women had nervous breakdowns when it became common gossip that the handsome lifeguard, Jimmy Baylor, was using water-wings. Mary: I'm afraid I can’t top that one! He must be almost as celebrated as A1 Bourget. It isn't everyone who can be a millionaire at twenty-eight! Confidentially, I've heard that he has to employ (our secretaries to keep his affairs straight! Lillian Blokland takes care of his money matters; Doris Blokland, his personal correspondence; Anne Ciopryna handles all his business affairs; and Barbara Hall deals exclusively with his love affairs. Pat: Evidently he’s the same old Al. One of our classmates made Who's Who in America this year. Back in 1942, Lucy Tryko had such fun securing ads for our classbook, she decided to make it her career. She's listed as the most popular woman of the year. Mary: She ought to go far, a grand girl! And speaking of going far — Harry Mack has surpassed us all as far as distance goes. He has started a Howard Johnson chain across the Sahara. Pat: Oh, please! Audrey Wright and Florence Saranecki are both in Atlantic City competing for the title of Miss America. Judges Merrill Atwood, Roy Coe and John Kornitsky couldn't decide which one should have title of Miss Connecticut, so both girls have gone to the resort to contend for that honor. Mary: These fickle men! Remember what a bashful boy Philip Tarbell was? Well, would you believe it — he was voted the year's most eligible bachelor! They say the girls are just wild about him! Pat: My word! Quite a number of our friends are teaching. Ed Carey and Marilyn Bradley are dean and assistant dean of a progressive new school back in New Haven called Nutmeg Junior College. Bob Sheiffele is instructor of the advertising and selling classes; Cosmo Melillo is in charge of the pharmaceutical department; and Frank Zimmerman and Anne Lecza are teachers of physical education. 60 Mary: Well, we always were an intellectual group (a-hem)l Seriously, though, the class of '42 has surely made a name for itself. I understand that Ginny Jaspers is the leading baby specialist in Connecticut, a most successful pediatrician. Carmella Gambardella and Elaine Peterson are graduate nurses of New Haven Hospital where Ed Jarmie has recently begun his internship. Pat: To go back to the field of sports — Dominic Iezzi is playing professional baseball with Brooklyn. He feels right at home there, too, because the manager of the Dodgers is Dominic Melillo. Mary: Virginia Shepard is our feminine sports star. She defeated Alice Marble and is now champion of the tennis world. And I almost forgot Tilly Tokarczyk. Her record-breaking backstroke keeps her on the front page of sports. Pat: Indeed, I've read about her! On the front page, politically, are Violet Moore, who serves now as Commissioner of Labor in Connecticut, and our own Marcus Gandossy! He's earning great laurels as Governor! Mary: I've heard that Charlie Holbrook is President of American Airlines. Is that true? Pat: But definitely! And Doris Patterson, Jean Ingham and Jean O'Neil are hostesses on his planes. Charlie hasn't lost his eye for feminine pulchritude. Mary: Bernard Luongo's Foxon Bus line is a godsend to the people of the hills ! This inspired Marge Longyear and Eva Marini to take advantage of the heavy traffic and open a diner on the Foxon Road. Pat: I must remember to stop there soon. Dolores Hagerty, editor-in-chief of Harper's Magazine and her staff of reporters, headed by Evelyn Johnson, have just finished a serial article on the life of Robert Voss, the army's youngest colonel — and very good, too! Dolores is now trying to get a story from those three hermits, Albert Anderson, Billy Dick and James Farquharson. Even Billy Mintz, her ace photographer, couldn't get near their retreat up in the Totoket Mountains. Mary: Not to be outdone by the boys, Jeanette Jackson, Antoinette Paolillo and Katherine Scalia are our feminine devotees of live alone and like it. Pat: Don't want to change the subject, but I must tell you that the money has finally been raised for the murals in the auditorium of East Haven High. Ed Nitsch is under contract to do the work and Anton Schutz will model for him. Mary: Wonderful! Goodness, Pat, what time is it? I must get back! Did I tell you? I'm running a school for young ladies and it keeps me rather busy. Oh — I meant to ask you before — whatever became of Barbara Walldorff? Pat: Barb's all set, financially. Remember the hit song the year we graduated, Deep in the Heart of Texas ? Well Barbara has a share in the royalties on all recordings of it — she does the four claps after every line. Mary: Well — Barb always did get a bang. Come to the school when you get a chance. Here's my card. Pat: I surely will, thanks! Don't forget to look me up when you're in the Edison again. Bye, now. Mary: Good-bye. It's been the grandest manicure I've ever had! 61 GLaa, Will WE, THE CLASS OF 1942, fortunate in being students of East Haven High School, and honored in being citizens of these United States of America, not having been proven other than of sound mind and reasonable memory, do hereby make, ordain, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament. As we stand on the threshold of our future hopes and aspirations, we think of our many peculiar and endearing qualities, and hereby transmit these meager and perhaps unwanted possessions to our successors. ARTICLE I — To our beloved principal and faculty, whom we leave behind in a state of nervous collapse, we extend our sincere gratitude for the patient and untiring help we have received, and our regrets (?) that they will never see another class like this one. To all others who have been instrumental in helping us become graduates, and especially to Miss O'Connor, our class adviser, who has been our guiding light, we leave our very best wishes and heartfelt thanks. ARTICLE II — To the Junior Class we give the scholastic laurels we have attained, and the privilege of calling themselves Seniors. To the Sophomore Class we leave our special talent to plan and execute successful social functions. To the Freshman Class we offer our grown-up manners and a bit of the so-called poise we acquired as upper-classmen. ARTICLE III — Our personal bequests of friendship are as follows: June Cornell leaves her quietness to Ginny Hayden, hoping it will subdue her tireless loquacity. Jimmy Rogan claims he needs everything he has, but we think he could spare just a little of his ability to tell those roguish Rogan jokes for Gerald Leavstrom.

Evelyn Johnson and Anne Ciopryna give their almost record-breaking speed at the typewriter to Claire Malcolm and warn her to hold high her family laurels.

Elmer Symack wills his mischievousness to Jimmy Saville who seems to be getting on well without it.
