EAST HAVEN THE PIONEER 1947 HIGH SCHOOL East Haven, Connecticut MR. ALFRED PULLANO To Mr. Alfred Pullano, our first football coach, we, the class of 1947, dedicate this edition of the Pioneer, mindful of the time you spent and appreciative of the patience you had with our team. The memories of our great team will aid us in following our theme—Saluting Yesterday, Challenging Tomorrow. Working toward Universal Peace in Tomorrow's Universe we see - -the Administration and Faculty as the Raysyol the Sun which transmit Kntywledqex to the students mms ©a Mr. William E. Gillis.... Mr. William E. Fagerstrom Our Superintendent ......Our Principal Lett to right: Mr. Clifford Sturges. Mr. Joseph Adams. Mrs. Olto Bath. Mr. Hugh Cox, Chairman; Mrs. Alvin Thompson, Mr. Edward Donroe, Mr. Harold LaPointe. Inserts, left to right: Mrs. John Sanford, Mr. Russell McGuigan. Administration Each member of the Board of Education serves willingly to improve our educational system in East Haven. Their interests cover a wide field such as finance, curricula, instruction, faculty and student personnel, material facilities and services. The general spirit of industry and cooperation in our school reflects their loyalty to us. Mr. William E. Gillis, Superintendent of Schools, serves us untiringly. We consider him our true friend. Mr. Hugh Cox, Chairman, Board of Education, is a leader in our town and we are fortunate that he is on our board. Mr. John H. Corbett, Secretary, Board of Education, is a familiar figure around the school. With his cordial manner he accomplishes much for us. Faculty English —History — Commercial Any English problems? No need to worry when you have Miss Hortense Galin, Mrs. Russell Hunter, Miss Eileen O'Neill, Mr. John McPartland, head oi the department, and Mr. Michael Zilli to solve them. They make literature and gramma peasant moments, Friendly and kind, the history department works hard to help us be better citizens. Miss Ethel Kennedy, Miss Zita Matthews, head ot the department, Mr. Allred Pullano and Mr. Joseph Mayo are always well-inlormed on the events ol the world. With their easy-going manner the essentials of business are taught by Miss Margaret Lowe and Miss Carol Vath. Mrs. Francis Coulter, head of the department, and Mrs. David Reed instruct the future typists of America. Math — Science — Language — Shop [iAu Un L The area of a rectangle equals—? That is what you’ll find Mr. Thomas Murray, head of the department, Miss Margaret Lowe, and Mr. Edward Sugrue asking their pupils. Under their guidance figures form a pattern. Mr. Carl Garvin, head of the department, and Mr. Caryle Frawley explain the secrets of magnetism and such. It takes their watchful eyes to have our experiments come out right. Latin music and cute phrases make up the very interesting study of the languages under Miss Doris Houston and Miss Mary Rocco. Nothing is foreign to their students as they look forward to taking the advanced courses in Spanish, French and Latin. The whir of machines and the banging of hammers are the sounds familiar to students on their way to the cafe. Mr. David Reed and Mr. Allan Bonwell give sound advice to their students on building and printing. Home Economics — Music — Art — Boys' Gym Future homemakers of America cook and sew under the careful training of Miss Alice Hall and Mrs. Kenneth Eldredge. Chic fashions and delicious concoctions come easily to their students. Melodies float from 208. Mrs. Wilhelmina Strand-berg conducts the Glee Club and choirs through popular and classical songs. Under her skillful hand the orchestra makes sweet music. Beauty is found to be a necessary part of life to the students of Miss Jean Hoxie. Budding artists and designers get a good foundation in form and line. Their displays brighten up the school. Mr. Raymond Smith helps the boys to win the important games. Strong bodies developed in the gym classes will see them through the struggles of tomorrow. 7 Cooking — Library — Nurse — Girls' Gym With their hats and aprons on the boys set to work. Birthday cakes and spaghetti are their specialties. Nothing burns with Miss Alice Hall's vigilant care. Could you tell me—? Day in and day out Miss Bernice Hall, librarian, spends her time and effort answering guestions and finding books. East Haven is reading-conscious under her tutelage. Students rush to Miss Florence Leeds Parker, Registered Nurse for East Haven Schools, for first aid. Always on the job and always smiling she keeps us fit. Watch that figure, girls. Exercise and competition make the girls stay on their toes at all times. Miss Yeta Bouzoucos never tires of putting the girls through the paces. 8 Visual Aids — Dean — Director — Office A picture is worth many words. Mr. Carl Garvin, Visual Aids Director, proves this to us with the fine selection of movies and slides that make us understand the details of our lessons. We can live with our work. Needed advice is cheerfully given by Mrs. Russell Hunter, Dean. No problem is too small for the expert attention of the dean. Her knowledge seems boundless. A busy man is Mr. Joseph Mayo, Director of Extracurricular Activities. He plans our schedules for the week. A great help to the teams, he is as popular as he is busy. May I have a pass?? Mrs. Milo Peck, Miss Maryanne Heinze, and Miss Marian Ambrulevich are busy with our files and clerical problems. We feel fortunate in having their cheerful efforts. 9 Departments at Work Top to bottom: Made of Sugar'll Spice Time Out for Lunch The Machine Age From One to the Other Our New Bus In Comfort 10 H.

Character, scholarship, leadership, and service are the qualities necessary for one to become a member of the Athena Chapter of the National Honor Society. Junior and Senior members of this important group proudly wear their gold pins, which entitle them to freedom during study periods and which permit them to leave the school grounds during their free time. 36 This year, under the able guidance of Student Council First Row, left to right: G.

We made another score! East Haven High School has widened its field of sports by adding to it this past season a football team. Coach Pullano turned out a fighting team for the pigskin annals for the fall of 1946. Each player shone in every rugged battle. The powerful aggregation was co-cap-tained by Rod Pickett and Bud Tinari and managed by Charles Pecoraro and Thomas Graham. The third game was played in a heavy downpour. East Haven lost to Branford 21-7. In the tilt with Milford the two teams entered the struggle each trying for a victory. East Haven cut loose and won the game with a 13-2 score. On Thanksgiving our rival, Branford, came to play an underdog team. Branford, the favored team, was beaten by a score of 12-6. The season was climaxed with an inspiring football dinner in the cafeteria. The fast team using clever plays carried East Haven's banner with an impressive record. The Easties in their first tilt of the year faced St. Mary's, also playing their first game. The game was played to a 6-6 tie. All of the students, alumni and townspeople are looking forward to the second season as it looms on the sport's horizon, finding a football-wise squad waiting to enter the win columns. A tense moment—he caughf (he ball. Mr. Fagerstrom speaks at our dinner.

December 6th marked the first basketball game of the season and started our team on a winning streak. This lasted for five consecutive games until we met our deadly foe, Branford. With Lucibello out and our team having an off night we lost by a considerable large score. That didn't shake the spirit of the team though, for the very next game they beat Boardman 41-17. With the aid of our cocaptains, Frank Igo and Paul Albano, the team has passed through a very good year with few losses. Even going as far as to place in the tournament where they were defeated by Wilcox Tech, in their second game. The excellent playing of Mike Lucibello and Don MacKinnel, as guard, and Charles Finnegan as a roving center helped the team to get into the tournament They made their free shot. R. Wilson, L.

Leadership in Sport Under the supervision of Miss Yota Bou-zoucas, the students learn to climb ropes, swing on rings, and play basketball. They are good at calisthenics and acrobatics. Early in September the girls start off with exercises, then, head-stands, and forward rolls. After Christmas, basketball is practiced and the girls are enthusiastic about it. When the rings and ropes are tested in February, they are the foremost in all the girls' minds. In April baseball is anxiously awaited and finally the students get out in the fresh air to play a fast game of baseball. The group's purpose as a whole is to promote- good sportsmanship and become leaders. The diligent playing of the games and the keen competition prepare the girls to play the game of life. 57 Tumbling to gel in shape.

Clapp. Standing, ie t to right: T. Graham. H. Selfors. Class History FRESHMAN YEAR In September, 1943, we entered East Haven High School as eager freshmen and right away we began to show our talents. Marilyn Swanson, Anne Mascola and Jane Brown helped the National War Fund by giving a skit over radio station WELI and Laura Civitello represented East Haven in a quiz program over the same station. Patriotic Freshies did their share of bidding at the Jeep Benefit Auction too. In January Alice Piccionelli, Janet Onofrio, Helen Iezzi, and Gloria Fuchs became members of the newly organized Girls' Leadership Club. Our first class election was held in March and we chose Joseph McManus, president; Frank Igo, vice-president; Anne Mascola, secretary; and Thomas Graham, treasurer. Our Freshman Frolic in May was quite a success under the chairmanship of Julie Seibold and it was at this dance that the Flora Dora Boys made their debuts as chorus girls. The Varsity Baseball Team now boasted freshman Bob Tregoning as one of their star players and Bud Tinari was a member of both the baseball and bowling teams. Exams came in June, and then summer vacation. SOPHOMORE YEAR After a seemingly short intermission September rolled around and we, the class of '47, gathered together again. This time not as uncertain Freshmen but as dignified Sophomores. As leaders for our Sophomore year we chose Leo Hibson, president; Henry Selfors, vice-president; Laura Civitello, secretary; and Thomas Graham, treasurer. Student Council representatives were also chosen and Frank Igo was elected treasurer of this important group. In October we organized the Young Patriots , whose task it was to boost the 66 sales of war bonds and stamps. The officers of this club were Marion Cook, Lucy De-Caprio, George Chamberlain, and Frank Dooley. To show our neighbors, the Freshmen, that we were their friends, in November we sponsored a Welcoming Dance in their honor. At about this time our own Marion Cook became a cheerleader and did a great deal for the morale of the basketball team. When Korner Klub was being organized, we. Sophomores, were well represented on all the committees. Due to the fact that many of the older high school boys had joined the armed forces, the varsity basketball team was made up entirely of Sophomores: Frank Igo, Leo Hibson, Michael Lucibello, Arthur Leslie, Robert Wilson, Vincent Baldino and Captain Paul Albano. The swimming team now boasted such names as Frank Dooley, George Munson, Bill Beatty, Tommy Graham and Mortimer Stanley. April was our busy month. The whole class buzzed with plans for the Sophomore Hop, which was held on April 6. With Ed Myers as chairman we worked hard and turned out the most successful Hop ever to be sponsored at East Haven High. It was the first underclassmen dance to have a band. But the band was only a co-feature, the highlight of the evening was last year's Chorus Cuties reappearing as Flora Dora Girls. Then came June with those much dreaded exams, and we all looked forward to a summer of recuperation. JUNIOR YEAR Upperclassmen at last! And we began to take over! Leo Hibson was elected vice-president of the Student Council, and other Junior members certainly did fine work for this important group. In November Jane Brown was installed as state secretary of the Future Homemakers of America . Barbara An-stey joined Marion Cook as a cheerleader and Marilyn Stone became a member of the Comet Editorial Board. In December the National Honor Society inducted fifteen new members. Nine of them, Jean Cichocki, Lucy DeCaprio, Ruth Farqu-harson, Rose Gustafson, Anne Mascola, Betty Post, Stanley Goodrich, Leo Hibson, and Henry Selfors, were Juniors. Michael Lucibello and Paul Albano became co-captains of the Basketball Team; while the swimmers selected Bill Beatty and Tommy Graham as their co-captains. Eastern Freestyle Champion Frank Dooley was the only double winner in the Trenton, N. J. swimming meet. In the spring, after wfeeks of campaigning, our class election was held. Leo Hibson and Henry Selfors were re-elected president and vice-president respectively. Joan Clapp was elected secretary and Tommy Graham was chosen to serve his third term at treasurer. Betty Post and Anne Mascola were elected historians. April brought the Varsity Show. The Junior Class was well represented by Laura Civi-tello and Barbara Norwood as assistant managers and Phyllis Rowley as stage manager. At an assembly held early in May, twenty-four Juniors were initiated into the Traffic Squad. Then came that extra special night of our Junior Prom! Co-chairmen Laura Civitello and Dennis Ryan made it a memorable affair. Then came June — Why, we're almost Seniors! SENIOR YEAR To most of us it didn't seem possible that we were seniors already. Our first three 67 years had whizzed by. However, we were ready and happy to assume our responsibilities. To lead us through our all important senior year, we chose Rod Pickett, president; Hank Selfors, vice-president; Joan Clapp, secretary; and Tommy Graham, treasurer. One of East Haven High's fondest dreams was fulfilled this year when the first football sguad in the history of East Haven High played its first game. The squad was under the deft guidance of Coach Pullano and elected Buddy Tinari and Rod Pickett as its cocaptains. I guess we'll never forget the Thanksgiving Day game in which our team won an unexpected victory over our greatest sports rival, Branford. Very early in the year, with the able assistance of Miss Kennedy, work was begun on our yearbook. In February it was announced that the Pioneer staff would be headed by Ruth Kirste, editor-in-chief; and Lucy DeCaprio and Rose Costello, co-business managers. New cheerleaders cheering the Smithmen on to victory were Marilyn Swanson, Norma Hartlin, and Rose Gustafson. In October, Rod Pickett, Florence D'On- ofrio and Henry Selfors as president, secretary and vice-president, respectively, were chosen to steer the Student Council through a very active year. Sixteen of our seniors entered the annual American Legion Oratorical Contest. Each candidate was required to write an original 500 word thesis on The Constitution In Our Changing World. The local winners were Bob Connors, Leo Hibson and Tommy Graham. The honor of being chosen East Haven High School's D.A.R. good citizenship girl was awarded to Anne Mascola this year. At an assembly in January four more seniors—Doris Beebe, Jane Brown, Laura Civitel-lo and Rose Costello were inducted into the National Honor Society. April found us in pieparation for graduation. Then the next thing we knew our days as seniors at East Haven High were nearing an end. Now on Class Night we are both happy and sad when we look toward tomorrow's graduation. We shall never forget our days at East Haven, for never did anyone so thoroughly enjoy his school days as the Class of '47.

To the faculty we give our thanks in appreciation of their sincere efforts in our behalf. We also leave you a brand new freshman class, who has watched our good examples, and has now acquired our good habits such as staying in the corridors, classrooms and ramps after hours, and our record for being on time for class once a week. To the Junior Class we leave our neat homerooms. You will be able to tell who occupied the desks by the inscriptions on them. We leave our brains, good behavior, poise and the ability to think of new and successful excuses for not doing our homework. To the Sophomores we leave the honor of being the graduating class of 1949, the right to elude traffic officers at their posts, and our wishes for a successful prom. We begueath the Freshman class three more joyous years in which to obtain our high standings. We also leave any broken, unused and worthless articles which they might find. The Senior boys will their checked shirts, flashy socks, slick hair, all the girls left behind, unpolished shoes, and chewing gum in class to the Junior boys. The Senior girls leave their beautiful figures, stylish clothes, polished manners, the ability to have the underclassmen right at their heels, to any girl in the school dumb enough to believe everything we tell them. Our individual bequests are as follows: EDNA MEEKER leaves her stack of books and her high arades to Eddie Corbett. We hope you won't have too hard a struggle next year, Ed. GEORGE MUNSON leaves his variety of sport clothes to East Haven High at a rate of $.50 an hour for any underclassmen who can afford to pay the price.

MYRTLE BUTLER and LUCY DECAPRIO will their natural wavy locks to Phylis Russo who thanks her hairpins for her curls. FRANK DOOLEY, winner of many swimming meets leaves his record to the team in the hope that they will keep up the good work. 69 Photographs in the 1947 PIONEER 7 aken By LUCAS STUDIO 265 Main Street East Haven, Connecticut For distinctive portraits that are really “you” come to the LUCAS STUDIO.

PATTY McGOULDRICK and ELAYNE KIG-GINS who are neat and trim all the time leave this trait to Rena Pevetty.

CHRISTINE HOFFMAN and CAROLYN KELSEY, who don't say much but get what they go after, leave their good philosophy to Carolyn Pevetty, who is about the opposite. We, the executors of this last will and testament of the Class of '47, leave for a hiding place upon completion of this will, and we will probably need one.

Reynolds LAIRD’S COMMERCIAL BODY WORKS 505 Grand Ave. New Haven, Conn. 81 From Rights to by HENRY As a hiker gathers Together supplies for his trip, So have we been gaining experience For the journey into life. When we were freshmen. Some of us elected Latin, Algebra, and general science, the prep subjects. So that we should be able to attend some college, Whether it be a school of mechanical or Liberal arts and sciences. Some chose typing, Shorthand, and Business practice. Preparing for commercial or secretarial work. Others signed up for cooking. Sewing, and shop courses, For use in home-making and work Immediately after graduating. Guest speakers at assemblies, Throughout our four years. Gave supplementary information for our classes. Student-planned assemblies, Helped our public speaking manners, And gave entertainment. Phonograph records of famous speeches, Great moments of history and music Broke the everyday routine of our classes. Radio code was learned by listening To the dits and das on records. We have received the benefit of modern teaching aids. Through chapel services, Religious education, and our Problems of Democracy classes, We have learned to respect Other peoples' ideas and beliefs In a democratic way. Through books in the library We have discovered new reservoirs To be drawn on throughout our lives. Books have either transformed or Stimulated our ambitions and Have offered hours of enjoyment. The library has been a quiet spot. Where answers to our questions could be found, Or where we could visit any land or century. As self-centered underclassmen. It was hard to understand How algebra and geometry Would be used in later life, but They have expanded our reasoning powers And our ability to interpret What we have read. After our first few dates, We lost our self-consciousness 82 SPDSM Reponsibilities SELFORS And learned how to dance At the Friday night dances in the gym. The Prom was the high spot of our junior year. From our viewpoint the gym. With its borrowed lawn furniture. Its draperies, and colored lights. Was a magnificent ballroom. And after the Prom, many of us Went to our first night clubs. Another red letter night Was the first performance Of the annual Blue and Gold Show. We remember: the glare of the footlights. The colorful costumes, our stage fright. The smell of grease paint. And the applause after the finale. High school has not been all work. The part time jobs In the drug and grocery stores Have given us poise, self-confidence, And the skills of meeting and making friends. Participation in Traffic Squad, Boys' State and Girls' Leadership Club Has developed leaders among us. Trips with the sports teams, Glee Club, and Student Council Have given us new interests and Friends in other communities. And have furnished the means Of comparing our town with others. The National Honor Society was A goal to be achieved in high school By consistent work. Once gained, this honor united us In a nation-wide fellowship With other high school students. When we meet people wearing The emblem of the Society, We know their standards Are similar to our own. The Honor Society has helped us develop A greater understanding of ourselves And of other teen-agers. High school has widened the scope of our reasoning. Has made us aware of our growing personalities. And has supplied us with some tools For use in tomorrow's work. The time has come when we fledglings Must try the skills developed During our high school days. Let our motto be: To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. 83 Bradford Manor Drum Corps Patrons Mr. and Mrs. Walter Wyllie Fil and Pup Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Thompson Joseph Maltese Cab and Phil Joan and Frank Mr. and Mrs. Carl G.
