I YANKEE CLIPPERS 5 EAST EATEN BIN SCHOOL East Haven, ' Connecticut W' © Four Bells At the end of the voyage the Clippership 1950 in Sea-hoard East Haven has come through in the true spirit of our forefathers, the mariners of the Clipper-Ship Era. Theirs was a ship of “Trade and of Conquest”; ours, one of “Education and Knowledge”. We, like they, have learned the feel of the ship, have sailed upon the “Sea of Adventure” and have had the smell of Success in our nostrils. For we, who have trod y y the path of new ideas and ideals, have followed in the footsteps of those who accomplished the impossible, sailing upon the seas in ships of doubt, those who winning out against all odds defeated the English Navy in such a brief interval of time. With our experienced Captains, we, the young seamen of the “Vessel 1950”, have reached port and now, when four bells have struck, are prepared to ship out on the biggest craft of all “Life”. MRS. JANE THOMPSON Board Chairman We, the Class of 1950 walked the halls of this building without realizing who holds the building together and causes it to run like clock work. Those who are as vital to the structure as the walls themselves are the Board of Education, who donate precious time and much effort for our benefit. For the important role they play in the maintenance of our school, we extend our appreciation to the Board of Education. EDWARD E. DONROE JAMES M. BANCROFT BART A. GAFFNEY MRS.

I have just successfully carried a cargo Of ambitious youths On a journey lasting four years. At first my inexperienced crew Was timid, hesitant, and afraid Of my authority; but. As the months slipped by, I noticed improvement. Order displaced confusion. My crew developed initiative. Discussed and approved new ideas. Which, rapidly, they put To use. Despite the adjustments Many obstacles persisted— Gray storms of examinations and hard study Great barriers, but surmounted Eventually. As my deck became worn With the tramping Of my feet, I thought occasionally Of my destination ahead and pondered: “How many of my voyagers. Satisfied with what they had been taught. Heady to put that knowledge To use. Will disembark at the first port. There to assume the responsibility Of earning their daily bread?” “How many will journey on. Aboard another ship. To distant shores Of higher learning?” Often 1 thrust aside these puzzling thoughts. Instead. I became engulfed In lively music and laughter. Produced by my workers; For this trip, to them. Was new and exciting— A unique experience— Never to be known again. Eager voices of youths. Concerned with conditions aboard ship And their own general rights,— Anxious to express problems and solutions. Filled my hull. Acting as president, my captain. Discarding no fact, suggestion, or revision. Unless the majority Thought it necessary, Conducted a democratic form Of council. Each individual was important. “But what was the purpose Of my voyage?” “What effect will it have on the future Of my crew?” Many times I meditated these questions— Always the answers were the same: First — It encouraged Self-government, Their own elections of officers. For certain duties Molded them individually Into good citizens. Second — It extended Opportunities And the privileges that go To those who try and Do achieve the best: The bestowal of my highest award— Membership in an honor society— For scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Finally: It offered to my workers ------8-----I-------------- The various performances and dances Which tended to develop them socially Yet built character and a Sense of responsibility. These three offerings Joined together To create happy, successful, and cooperative Young men and women. Wherever my crew advances— Whether it is To a college. To a nursing school, or To a repair shop; To a newspaper office. To a classroom, or To the armed forces— It is my belief That these four years Have prepared them To face their future. To fulfill their obligations. —Joan Wells MOST FUN TO HAVE AROUND John Kaiser—Gloria Galpin APPLE POLISHER Edward Limoncelli—Priscilla Macdougall BEST LOOKING Richard Merrill—Betty Crampton SEEN BUT NOT HEARD Donald Myers—Madeline DeBrino POPULARITY POLL BEST PERSONALITY Joan Wells—Anthony Esposito GREATEST SERVICE Elaine Barbary—Donald Igo MOST ATHLETIC Lucille Howard—Louis Paolillo BEST DRESSED Delores Massari—Richard Coyle MOST DRAMATIC Joan Wells—Bill Woods MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED Robert Howell—Elaine Barbary BEST ARTIST William Colrus—Barbara Prosch MOST SOPHISTICATED George Byrne—Delores Massari BEST PHYSIQUE—Louis Paolillo BEST FIGURE—Delores Massari LOVE BIRDS Harry Neff—Rachel Brooks MOST POPULAR Art Munroe—Joan Wells NICEST EYES Dick Merrill—Jill Montgomery NICEST SMILE Harry Neff—Marjorie Porto BEST DANCERS John Civitello—Marilyn Miller POPULARITY POLL MOST MUSICAL Mimi Miller—Raymond Stanio BIGGEST LINE Claire Hagerty—Donald Igo BEST ALL AROUND Elaine Barbary—Donald Igo CLASS FLIRTS CLASS BABIES Donald Igo—Marilyn Kennedy Gloria Galpin—Harry Neff MOST PHILOSOPHICAL Priscilla Macdougall— —Edward Limoncelli CLASS WITS Bill Woods—Claire Hagerty BIGGEST EATERS Ben Newton—Alberta Norwood HIE @ 1 icilQol-tuHf, iiufLma . that, ihutd-UUf, Lf, StsiainA lUi llvull fUpe. gA. tfOod a ill UtitU .” Btyia+i r.h JUNIOR CLASS Years of contact and companionship have given this class a permanent spot in our memory.

East Haven along with over a hundred passengers on our trip to graduation. Some became sick along the way and had to turn hack, but instead of swimming for the rest of our lives, most of us stayed aboard for the ride to study diligently, enjoy dances, parties, and athletic contests. The next four people are four who made it. They will try to share all our experiences we had together with you through a history of our trip. FRESHMAN YEAR As we embarked on the first year of our long voyage, that bright September day in 1946, little did we dream of the endless joys and responsibilities that lay in the dark, unknown waters ahead of us. Awed by the numerous activities and achievements of the upperclassmen, we cautiously set about to investigate the mechanism of East Haven High School. With Mrs. Coulter and Mrs. Reed to guide us as our advisors, we were assured of a safe, pleasant voyage. Art Munroe captained our large crew as President, with Elaine Barbary—Vice President, Sue Gaffney—Secretary, and James Thomas—T reasurer. East Haven High's first football team completed a success ful season under the excellent guidance of Coach A1 Pullano. The opening of the basketball season found many of our freshmen fellows playing their hearts out for the J. V. basketball team. We were equally proud of Sue Gaffney and Laura Atwater, who displayed their pep and school spirit as cheerleaders at the games. While our Jayvees were winning game after game, Bob Rogan, was making quite a name for himself as one of the stars of the swimming team. The Student Council boasted of several capable representatives from the Class of 1950. At a fashion show assembly in which many freshmen participated, Dolores Massari was voted the best-dressed girl in school. Along with Spring, came the annual Blue and Gold Varsity Show. In the spotlight, helping to make the show a success, were our Singing Freshmen: Jill Montgomery, Rachel Brooks, Georgia Bishop. Harriet Jenkin. Elaine Barbary, Dretta ’Shorkey, Claire Hagerty, Marilyn Miller, Janice Walker, Joan Toohey, Audrey Redfield. Betty Crampton, Lucille Howard, and Alberta Norwood. We were prepared for the excitement and anxiety of opening night though, as we had presented our own Junior Varsity Show in Eighth Grade under the direction of Miss Gloria Gallo. Climaxing the end of our first year, was the Freshman Frolic, our big social event of the season. Comprising the Frolic Committee were Marjorie Porto, Susan Paolillo. Bob Howell, Bill Morman, Elaine Barbary, Miriam Miller, Lucille Howard. Marilyn Miller, Sue Gaffney, James Thomas, Bill Johansen, Alberta Norwood, and Donald Blakely. So, with many happy memories of our freshman year, we gaily left the halls of East Haven High School, confidently looking forward to the second lap of our long voyage. SOPHOMORE YEAR No longer were we little freshmen but still not quite the “Big Wheels” of the school. We returned reluctantly, but happy, getting right into the swing of things. Many of us went to football games to see our own Lou Paolillo playing first string. On the side lines were Janice Walker, Laura Atwater, Joan Toohey and Sue Gaffney cheering the team on. Jill Montgomer was the only Sophomore chosen for the Pep Club. Not to be called laggards, when the “Comet” came we found that Elaine Barbary, Betty Crampton, Gloria Galpin, Marjorie Porto, and Jill Montgomery were on its Business Board. As the year 1948 was about to begin, we elected our officers to lead us through the year. Bill Woods was elected President and George Byrnes, Vice-President. Sue Gaffney was our Scribe, while in charge of our coffers was James Thomas. Then basketball season rolled around with the Class of “50” putting out Anthony Esposito, Richard Merril, Don Igo and again, Lou Paolillo. HISTORY The Student Council with James Thomas as Vice-President, governed the student body through another year. Serving on the School Newspaper's staff was Julia Criscuolo as Exchange Editor with Roberta Bowden and Bill Woods also taking part in its publication. The new members inducted into the National Honor Society were Frank Dering. Barbara Prosch. William Woods, Robert Howell, Joan Wells, Betty Crampton, and Elaine Barbary. Elaine Ba-bary was elected President of the Society with Robert Howell a s Vice-President, Betty Crampton. Scribe, and William Woods. Treasurer. Our most important social event of the year was underway with the election of Prom Co-Chairmen Roberta Bowden and Richard Coyle. The prom was held at the Pine Orchard Country Club and proved to be an outstanding success. Rachel Brooks and Jack Civitello reigned as king and queen. With the expectancy of returning next year as seniors, another school year drew to a close. East Haven High School's swimming team proudly had Richard Coyle, Robert Rogan. and Art Munroe as our representatives. With the Varsity Show coming around many of us dug down looking for hidden talent. The Class of “SO” contributed its part with the Singing Sophomores and others in solos and different acts. The hi-lite of the year was our dance, the Sophomore Hop, which was one of the most successful dances of the year. Then before we knew it, we heard the kids saying, “Gee, only a couple of days and then we won't be able to go to school, and we will have to go swimming every day. But we were consoled with the thought that next year we would be Juniors and we would show those little Sophomores who we were. JUNIOR YEAR September. 1949, and again we entered the halls of East Haven High School as Juniors. Mr. Carl Garvin officially took the post of principal. President Frank Dering assisted by Vice-President George Byrne, Secretary Joan Wells, and Treasurer Sue Paolillo, guided the Class through its third year. One of East Haven's most successful football seasons came to a close with the charges of Coach Frank Crisafi enjoying a string of victories. Frank D'Amico, a standout lineman, was elected to captain next year's Yellow-jackets. The basketball season opened and saw a spirited squad achieve a first place tie in the Housatonic league finally to be defeated in the tournament playdo Vns. Lou Paolillo and Anthony Esposito, capable Varsity material for the past two seasons were elected Co-Captains of next year's Varsity team. Joan Wells proved her oratorical ability by copping first place in the American Legion Oratorical contest. Joan also showed her ability as an actress with the leading role in the Drama Workshop's Comedy, “A Date With Judy.” 45 SENIOR YEAR At last we have attained our goal, seniors at East Haven High School. For four years we have strived for this uppermost grade. Chosen to guide our class through the last year of high school were Art Munroe as President, Richard Coyle as Vice-President, re-elected as Scribe was Joan Wells, and Jill Montgomery took over the Treasurer’s reins. The first social of the year was sponsored by the Seniors and the dance was called the Welcome Dance. It proved to he quite successful. The Student Council was ably guided by Donald Igo with the assistance of George Byrne as Vice-President, while Elaine Barbary held the post of Secretary-T reasurer. The Traffic Squad was Co-Captained by Janice Walker and Curtis Whelan. Miriam Miller accepted the post of Secretary and James Thomas kept a watchful eye on the Treasury. Most of the Seniors were now privileged to leave class two minutes early, (to be used later as an excuse for missing the homework assignment). Along about this time of the year the football season was in full swing. The team was jinxed by many injuries hut had several very successful games despite the handicaps. The football season was climaxed by a decisive victory over our arch-rivals, Branford High School. The basketball team under the leadership of Paolillo and Esposito dribbled through successfully. To satisfy their loyal followers, the team triumphed over Branford in both games played. The cheerleaders under their Captain Laura Atwater helped to boost the team’s morale. The Student Council under the guidance of Donald Igo, played host to many members of Student Councils from the various other schools in the Housatonic Valley League. The meeting and entertainment was followed by a dance which proved to he quite popular with the students of our own East Haven High. The Honor Society inducted new members of which were: Miriam Miller, Dretta Shorkey, Rachel Brooks, Alan Anderson, Jill Montgomery, and Pat Macdougall. The November issue of the “Comet” brought a few more Seniors into the limelight. Dretta Shorkey was chosen the yearbook Editor and Curtis Whelan, Business Manager. Also at this time Julie Criscuolo was chosen as Editor-in-Chief of the school newspaper the “Comet” with Roberta Bowden as Associate Editor and Williams Woods, Sport Editor. The Varsity Show members nervously fidgeted on opening night hut Manager Elaine Barbary smoothly and quietly calmed them down and the show was as big a success as ever. Now as we look hack over the years we all have a little pang of regret at leaving our home of knowledge, and the many friends acquired during that time. We now separate each to go his own individual way, to pilot that craft called—life. 46 Sp itttih iailxvu with teanded UpA And the beauty and nupitetuy a) the llupA, BUSINESS BOARD PIONEER 1950 First row, left to right: R.

Check with the photographer about “action shots” of the teams. Did I pick up the list of clubs at the office? Mustn’t forget to have the rest of the faculty pictures taken.

FOOTBALL TEAM Over fifty hoys reported to Coach Frank Crisafi for the early initial practice which led to one of the hest gridiron seasons since football was introduced in the sports curriculum several years ago. Although four opponents held the Eastshoremen to ties, the hard-fighting Easties only howed to the powerful league champs from Shelton. The Crisafimen, in their first real test, defeated Wilbur Cross, a class “A” school from New Haven. Captain Frank D’Amico led the Yellowjackets to decisive victories over our hitter rivals from Branford hy 13-6 and 14-0 counts. D’Amico was supported handily hy such stars as Dick Merrill and Ed Vercillo, brilliant pass-snatching ends, hard-driving backfield men, Lou Paolillo and Carlton Redman, and A1 Vitale, a hard-fighting lineman. Unfortunately two Housatonic League teams held the Easties to ties which left the Crisafimen with a 3-1-2 record in league play, bettered only hy Shelton. Orlando Orifice Bradford Manor is here, too!

BASKETBALL Coach Frank Crisafi was faced with one of the most difficult tasks of his career as only two letter men were back. The quintet, led by such stars as co-captains Lou Paolillo and Anthony Esposito, and ably supported by “Tippy” Tinari and Dick Merrill, left the Eastie followers astonished as they went on to roll over seven of their ten opponents. As the end of the slate drew nearer, the Easties were pressed to win a large percentage of their games to obtain a tourney berth, and that they did, overpowering their last five opponents only to bow to Middle-town High in the opening round of the CIAC Tournament. Included in the list of Eastshore-men’s victories were two wins over our archrivals from Branford and two decisions over Seymour.

BASEBALL Led by Captain Joe D’Onofrio, the 1949 baseball aggregation finished second only to Seymour in a thrilling race for the Housatonic League Crown. A contender for the crown all season long, the Easties were defeated by the league champs in the first half of a late season double header which sent the laurels to Seymour. 1950 captain-elect, Don Igo; Anthony Esposito, a nifty twirler, and Tippy Tinari, who held down the keystone position, were vital factors in the Eastshoremen’s successful season.
