English High School - Blue and Blue / Record Yearbook (Boston, MA)

KOZOL KNOWS ALL. The indoor track season was quite successful for E. H. S. With the help of Pat Lochiatto, Paul Thomas, and an efficient group of trackmen, E. H. S. won the indoor state championship. On April 14 we convened at the armory for prize drill. The winner was Frank DelVecchio, who really did a good job. Jerry Bcches had such a big company that every time he changed directions one end of the company went off the floor. During the April vacation the colleges began sending out letters. When Al Block and Joe Kozol heard that they had been accepted by M. 1. T., they went on a lost week (no end). At the outset of the baseball season, there were more girls than E. H. S. boys at the practices. Maybe this was because the girls heard that Billy Far- rell was going out for baseball. The girls must have helped, because the team was pretty good. At the beginning of May the second issue of the Record went on sale. Whoever it was who told everyone that the telephone numbers of all the girls in Girls ' High were in this issue really helped the sale of the magazine. Five room councillors were trampled by the eager believers. And that about tells the story of our class of the half-century. In years to come we shall always look back and re-live some of our joyous moments at The English High School. Joseph Kozol

SENIOR YEAR We couldn ' t be blamed for trampling the freshmen, sophmores, and juniors on our return in September; after all, when one is an English High School senior, one must keep his head elevated. Not that anyone was look- ing ahead to June, but as soon as we got in the door, Ben Susan took out a gigantic roll of paper and crossed off the first ten seconds. Soon after, our emblems of supremacy were distributed. Yes, we had to pay the balance on our class rings. Most of the rings fitted nicely, but it took Herby Glanz two weeks to get his on. We kept telling him it didn ' t belong on his wrist, but he was sure it was big enough to be a bracelet. At this time Al D ' Amico ' s hand began to get so worn down that Frank Del Vecchio had to do the hand shaking while D ' Amico held the gun. The election went very nicely though, and we elected D ' Amico president, Frank Del Vecchio vice-president, Al Bresnick secretary-treasurer, and Larry Berlin and Chuck Feldberg as executive committee. After a mediocre football season, the Blue and Blue, captained by Roger Stuart, had to be satisfied with a moral victory, as our valiant team lost to Latin, 19-0. English High helped inaugurate the new sport of Cross Country into the Boston Conference by taking first place in the triangular meet with Technical and Latin. We soon began to dig deeper into our poor ragged pockets, as the E. H. S. Record went on sale. Keith Buzzell ' s editorial, Looking Ahead, provided encouraging thoughts of scholarships in the future. By the time the Christmas vacation rolled round, so many seniors had gone out on C. P., that the school was practically empty. Joe Kasparian left so fast that he caught a cold in the draft and was in bed half of the vacation. The hockey season was not a very good one. Although some English High Alumni were present at Lawrence Academy, our spirited Hockey team was defeated. The team did, however, beat Dorchester and Trade. After the football and hockey seasons, Buddy Johnson decided to come to math classes once in a while. On February 1 1 the Blue and Blue held a Valentine Dance at the Parker House Roof. A swell time was had by all, even by those unfortunate ones who insisted we should dance inside and not on the roof. Along about February we began to realize that we had to pay class dues and alumni dues. It was futile to try to escape, because in the end a certain smiling physics and chemistry teacher would only wring out a contribution to the Doc Frazier 1950 overcoat fund. Our basketball team was really great, and when it won the Boston Con- ference Championship and went into the Tech Tourney against Attleboro, all the boys cheered their lungs out. The cheerleaders were hoarse for quite some time after the game. The next day in 103, Frank Comoscio ' s heart was broken when he had to relinquish his math teacher ' s daughter ' s lipstick to Doc Frazier.
