Lawn! Q f lr-nh! JUNIOR GETS A FEW POINTERS Uncle Joe, I was going Through some old papers ThaT were in The aTTic. Why did you save Them? Well, son, Those papers conTain memories of my Tour years aT GilberT. See, There iT say, 'Boys geT dancing Iessons'. Yes, Miss ParmenTer cerTainIy goT her TeeT sTepped on. BUT, look, Uncle Joe, here iT says someThing abouT AunT Sylvia. Why, yes, I remember when she was asked To give her opinion on wheTher Treshmen should daTe or noT. I-Ier answer was 'DeTiniTely and absoIuTeIyI' I guess she meanT iT, Too, Tor she never missed a nighT ouT in all her Tour years aT GiIberT. James CoTTey was elecTed beau oT The 'Spring FanTasy'. LaTer, when he was asked who his ideal girl was, Jimmy replied, 'BruneTTes.' My, how opinions change as years go on! ' George SchulTz was elecTed mosT pedanTic: Joe Lalli, meekesT. George has lived up To The voTe, buT Joe has cerTainIy changed! ThaT year, Too, we were asked To wriTe a composiTion enTiTIed, 'My Ideal Upper- classman.' Janice STavniTzky won. WhaT an original TiTle she had - 'PracTical buT NoT Probable.' Larry Meyer, Virginia Taylor, and Russell Nichols had Their picTure in The HarT- Tord Couran'I s 'Parade oT YouTh' Tor aTTending Laurel Music Camp. IT was Then ThaT Virginia gave Larry a Tew poinTers on how To comb hair. Norma Swanson wroTe a specTacular composiTion - 'Mary The CheerIeader,' and Elaine Johnson Told Bubbles she wanTed a man wiTh a million dollars. I hear she goT oTF To a good sTarT by checking on college vocaTions. Larry Meyer gave his opinion OT lipsTick by saying, 'On some girls iT's all righT: on oThers - - - grrrl' ThaT opinion changed, Though, when he was a senior. I-Ie Then plasTered Marion wiTh iT - sTraighT Trom The Tube, son, sTraighT Trom The Tube. Yes, son, ThaT year cerTainly Tlew by. We all avoided The gilded carpeT in TronT of Mr. MoseIey's desk. BuT, son, make way Tor The spohomore year. II Did much happen in your sophomore year, Uncle Joe - huh, did iT? Yes, son, our sophomore year was an evenTTul one, all righT. ThaT was The year Sonny DuranT's grandmoTher did his homework in exchange Tor having The dishes wiped. No wonder Mr. PiTT noTiced The sudden change in Sonny's handwriTing. Janice STavniTzky won The essay conTesT ThaT year on 'I-low To Improve GiIberT', and Priscilla CarTer was voTed The class quibbler. Marion Klein wroTe an essay enTiTled 'The Miracle oT Wisdom'. She was elecTed To The News Board, Too, ThaT year along wiTh Joe A. Lorraine C., Rick C., Priscilla C., and Jan B. According To 'BubbIes', Ginny Taylor's TavoriTe pasTime was wriTing To L.M. I-Ie came back Trom The Army in '49 and graduaTed wiTh us. Is ThaT all, Uncle Joe? No, son. One oT The mosT imporTanT changes in The school's sysTem happened ThaT year. We had a new exam schedule! IT sure was Tough cramming Tor mid-year and Tinal exams - buT Then, we asked Tor The change. ,- . ' -' - v' -' ' ' ' ' F' F There seemed fo be a mania for 'Whaf Ifs' Q for example, whaf if Richard were Hoods insfead of Bronson, and whaf if Gerry were Bellhop insfead of Porfer? And fhen fhere was a cerfain copperhaired girl who was described in fhe 'Guess Who' column as having a Iasf name like Van's. Thaf musf have been Elaine. Mr. Afwood was appoinfed manager of fhe Afhlefic Associafion, and he cer- fainly did a fine job. 5 The I-IaIIowe'en dance was hilarious fhaf year wifh fhe Tri-Y pledges dressed as Indians: and fhal was fhe year, foo, when many mysferious persons who hid Their 'rrue idenfifies wifh ficfifious names Iurked in fhe Golden Halls.

Jack Morgan was circulafion manager, and Nancy Suydam and Marilyn Gayer were +ypisfs. Bur, Uncle Joe, didn'f you once say fhaf fhey had a Iof of new feachers fhar year? Thai was a long fime ago, buf Ie+'s see-yes, Miss Mufch came fhaf year and also Miss Rice, Miss Field, Miss Lawfon, Miss Maffeson, Miss Coleman lnow Mrs. Thomasl, Miss Caron, Mr. Mead - and. oh, yes, I almosf forgof - Roy Kenf.

Even before we came back fo Gilberf, fhaf forever-acfive glee club wenf fo see Fred Waring down Shawnee way. If my memory doesn'f fail me, if was on Augusf I9, 'way back in '48.

As you may know, any game wilh Alumni is exciling, and lel me lell you '48 was no exceplion. Gilberl's loolball leam, led by Challcy Diellin, delealed Alumni by a I3-O score. Nalurally our loolball heroes needed spiril, so lhe cheerleaders slarled lhe new season under lhe leadership ol Jean Decsi, wilh Sylvia Pinney lor co-caplain.

FOOTBALL The l948 6ilberT School TooTball squad can properly be said To have compleTed The renais- sance oT GilberT TooTball. Four years ago inTer- scholasTic TooTball, which had been TuncTioning on an inTramural basis here aT GilberT during The war years, was resumed: and in The Two Tollowing years, under The coaching oT an ex-TriniTy lineman, Don Viering, The Blue and Gold began To rebuild. Roy KenT, The presenT menTor, became coach in '47 and prompTly discarded The T TormaTion in Tavor oT The single wing. The players required a year To masTer Thoroughly Their workings: and aTTer a mediocre season, KenT's Team rebounded This year and wenT on To regain much presTige Tor GilberT TooTball wiTh iTs Tine play ThroughouT The sTaTe. The Team sTarTed OTT in Tine Tashion, blanlcing a well-manned alumni squad I34O and dropping a hearTbreal4er To unbeaTen Emcield I3-7. The Tollow- ing SaTurday Tound ST. Mary's, oT New l-laven, being Taken inTo The YellowiaclceT camp 25-O as The KenT men ran wild. The nexT home game in a series oT Tive was played wiTh Darien, which had humbled The YellowiaclceTs 38-6 The previous year. The CommuniTy Field sTands were overTlowing, and a warm OcTober sun beaT brillianTly down upon The challc-marked gridiron. The Two Teams baTTled skillfully and savagelyp and when The Tinal whisTle sounded, The Blue and Gold had inTlicTed a 32-Zl deTeaT on The down-sTaTe combine in one oT The besT schoolboy games ever wiTnessed aT The local Tield. The Tinal home Tussle saw The injury-riddled locals beaTen by Lewis aT SouThingTon I3-6. GilberT iourneyed To Seymour Tor iTs nexT TilT, buT Tound The Janenda-coached eleven Too power- Tul and absorbed a I9-6 loss. On The rebound. however, The locals cooled CanTon I4-O and pro- ceeded To pull ouT a T2-7 verdicT over a scrappy FarmingTon Team. On November 6, Tollowing a Tremendous pep rally, The aggressive GilberTonians were deTeaTed by a high caliber Plainville eleven, Thus compleTing a roclc-ribbed schedule wiTh a record of Tive wins and Three losses. -W - l- .

This popular belief was TurTher esTablished during The '48-'49 hoop season by Coach Dave Nichol's Blue-and-Gold squad, a smooTh working and rapidly moving Team, buT one which averaged only 5' 8 in heighT. The Nichol's men consTanTly sTacked up againsT Teams which TeaTured big men: and alThough aT a disTincT heighT, They Tound ThaT advanTage oTTen ouTplayed These large Teams only oT drop The decision because oT Their inabiliTy To conTrol The backboarcls. The YellowiackeTs opened Their season wiTh The TradiTional Thanksgiving NighT clash wiTh The Alum- ni, being Toppled 32-2l, aTTer leading ThroughouT mosT oT The conTesT. CanTon, nexT on The schedule, however, did noT Tare as well as The Alumni: Tor The Nichol's men, aTTer Trailing in The Third quarTer, came roaring back To garner Their TirsT win 32-27. The nexT Two opponenTs - TorringTon, one oT The Top class A Teams in The sTaTe, and Sacred l-learT, oT WaTerbury, which capped The Class B TiTle in March, handed The locals a convincing deTeaT: Red Raiders, 48: GilberT, I8: l-learTs, 53: GilberT, 30. These losses musT have aroused The boys: Tor in Their nexT ouTing againsT a highly raTed Seymour Tive, They played superlaTive ball in gaining a 39-35 verdicT and displayed a beauTiTul passing aTTaclc which compleTely sTymied The downsTaTers Their ET BALL winning The plaudiTs oT a capaciTy crowd which jammed The GilberT gym. , l:armingTon upseT The Blue and Gold 47-4I The Tollowing week, buT The YellowiackeTs regained pres- Tige by downing Goodwin Tech, oT New BriTain, 42-39, and CanTon 43-37. WiTh a Tour and Tour record and enTering The second halT oT Their sixTeen-game slaTe, The Yellow- iackeTs wenT inTo a Tailspin, losing Tour OT Their nexT Tive games. Classy Windsor bumped our boys Twice, running away wiTh The TirsT 48-23, and sTav- ing oTT a lasT period spiriT To eke ouT a 54-47 Triumph. WaTerTown and Sacred T-learT boTh engineered vicTories: WaTerTown ouT-racing The locals 65-58, and The Taller l-learTs dominaTing play, 4l-2l. Lewis was The sole vicTim during This losing sTreak, being ouT-classed on Their home cour'T 4l-38. The remodeled Y gym accommodaTed The YellowiackeTs Tor Their Tinal home games wiTh Farm- ingTon and Lewis, boTh oT whom succumbed To The laTe-sTarTing GilberTonians: FarmingTon losing 34-3 I Q and Lewis 30-27. Sandwiched beTween These vic- Tories was a 4l-35 deTeaT aT The hands oT Searls, GilberT's Bay STaTe rival, aT The vicTor's courT. The season's record oT seven wins and nine losses was compiled againsT some of The TinesT Class A, B, and C Teams in The sTaTe, WiTh an all-veTeran squad reTurning nexT year, Coach Nichols undoubT- edly has visions oT a greaT season in The noT-Too- disTanT TuTure. .. 4 M. , - ,,i.......4,...-4..4.4 1---w i Firsf Row-L. fo R,: W.

As They rode among The ruins OT The old Town, They suddenly saw an old prospecTor, Trom whom They inquired The sTory oT The Town. As he saT under The shade oT a Tall Tree, he lighTed his pipe and relaTed The Tollowing sTory: The end was near on ThaT evenTTul day here in EI Carim: The Town was headin' Tor ruin. IT all sTarTed when SheriTT Bronson was shoT and SweeT DeeT and his VigilanTes were Trying To Take over. Dink's place was in a Turmoil. Colligan and Lobby were serving Tree drinks aT The poinT oT a ggn. SilenT Sam was raising a rumpus: buT Tor once Gos- sip GerTie and Gabby were speechless. Amid all This conTusion, however, we suddenly saw coming ouT oT The deserT Creepin' Cris, Eager lrv, and The sTagecoach. As They came To a dusTy halT aT Gab- by's Boarding l-louse, ouT iumped Their mysTerious passenger, Barroom BeauTy. As she enTered The house, she saw Gabby and GerTie, siTTing in The corner oT The parlor, kniTTing and discussing The day's evenTs. Gabby had iusT Told GerTie ThaT Jasper had been shoT in The Bak- ken Opera l-louse aTTer The perTormance oT 'Much Ado abouT NoThing', in which she was sTarring wiTh The Shakespearean lover, Hap l-lazard.. Meanwhile, Wild Willy Bakken was back in Town To wiTness The calamiTy. While hanging ouT The wash, moreover, GerTie said she had learned Trom Lassoing LaTchaT, her neighbor, ThaT Slick Nick and Elossie were due Tor deaTh aT The hands oT opera-loving, Killer Scan- lon. l-le, wiTh his band oT cuT-ThroaTs, was planning To Take over The Town. Two-Gun Bell and Daring Dick, his Two sidekicks, were shooTing up The main way when suddenly and To Their surprise, Their guns were shoT Trom Their hands by ThaT high-Tlying U. S. Marshall, PisTol Packin' Polly. Then she said: 'Drop your guns, you sneakin' varminTs: This is a quieT Town. Where is ThaT boss oT yors, Killer Scanlon? SweeT DeeT and his VigilanTes are planning To clean up The Town and you have unTil sunrise To leave, or Weepin' Will and The Cavalry will be called in. We have already senT a messenger, Wah-wah, To The TorT Tor This purpose, so giTl!' Upon hearing This, Barroom BeauTy was over- ioyed. She had come To seek Weepin' Will, her long losT lover, who had been sTaTioned in The vi- ciniTy oT El Carim as head CT The U. S. Cavalry. As she hurried down The sTreeT in search oT him, she passed Wah-wah's home, where his wiTe, Max- well ChialTi, was brewing some coTTee and anxiously awaiTing her husbands rerurn. Their daughTer, Miss E. E., was ouT as usual gallavanTing wiTh Ham Burg, who was in compeTiTion wiTh Jokin' Jack Tor her aTTecTion. Unknown To Jokin' Jack, however, he was being pursued by a sTaunch admirer, Anglin' Annie, who was ouT walking wiTh her Triend, Annie Oakley. The laTTer Two suddenly sTopped. A mosT paTheTic scene greeTed Them. SmarT Aleck was proposing To Madcap Marion on The porch across The sTreeT. l-lowever, danger lurked in The air: Tor suddenly, and wiThouT warning, The Town pesT, Babe, came shrieking ouT oT The darkness. A shoT rang ouT. SmarT Aleck had shoT Babe Tor inTruding on his privacy. lmmediaTely, lTchy Fingers, El Carim's sawbones, was called To The scene. BuT iT was Too laTe. Babe was dead. Digger O'Dell and her Two assisTanTs, Giggles and Leapin' Lida, were summoned To Take The body To her business esTablishmenT. Dig- ger had become prosperous since so many people had lead poisoning. The moon was high in The sky, and The coyoTes were howling in The disTance when The Town aT lasT became quieT. AlThough all seemed calm, an eerie aTmosphere pervaded The viciniTy. ln The hideouT oT Killer Scanlon The men were Talking in hushed Tones, when The door opened and a woman sTepped ouT. Seeing Killer, she said, 'IT all goes according To plan, we'll soon own El Cariml' Then she deparTed Toward The viciniTy oT Gabby's Boarding l-louse. As The dawn broke, we saw Killer Scanlon and his gang riding Toward BashTul Bernie's gold mine. They planned To Take Trom The payroll oTTice The gold shipmenT which was To leave on The nexT sTage. Two men, DevoTing Don and Dead-Eye Dick, who were guarding The shipmenT, and were quick wiTh The peacemakers , were To be 'dry gulched'. Sneezy, meanTime, To diverT aTTenTion, was To blow up The mine enTrance: Dapper Dick was To close in on The leTT: and Rapid RoberT was To aTTack Trom The righT. Sneezy was waTing Tor The signal Trom Killer Scanlon. The resT OT The gang, ready To aTTack, were gaThered on a bluTT overlooking The mine, when suddenly a loud explosion rended The air. Sneezy had done his work well. The ouTlaws now closed in slowly, expecTing a baTTle. As They approached The mine oTTice, a loud TrumpeTing was heard. The U. S. Cavalry, which had been maneuvering in The viciniTy, had been aroused by The explosion and was now abouT To make an aTTack. ln The en- suing baTTle -- which was brieT - Three members oT Killer's gang were morTally wounded: Slim, Lucky Larry, and PeTriTied Paul. The resT escaped. The Cavalry loss was one, Winnie, The besT shoT in The baTTalion. AT The sound oT The explosion, The Townspeople immediaTely rushed To The scene. Among Them were Brewery Bruey and Leapin' Lizzie, reporTers Tor The Daily Blah, who soughT a compIeTe accounT oT The episode. Three miners - ShorTy, Be-bob, and Darlin' George - wiTh The aid oT The U. S. Cavalry, were clearing The enTrance. ATTer The debris had been moved, iT was discovered ThaT SweeT Bea, Ollie Olsen, Delighrful Dorie, Fussin' Eran, Dimple DoT, and Brainy BeT were widows. Weepin' Will, upon invesTigaTing The siTuaTion TurTher, Tound ThaT Bash- Tul Bernie had been murdered. The nexT day, Brewery Bruey, The ediTor-in-chieT, and her Three TypisTs - Sizzlin' Sue, SlueTooT Sue and Lil' Lil, were discussing The previous day's evenTs when Lippy LaPIaca enTered The oTTice oT The Daily Blah. Lippy, an agenT Trom The insurance company, was disguised as a maid in Gabby's Boarding I-louse. Now, however, she was seeking an expIanaTion oT The explosion. The mine had been insured, and BashTul Bernie had named Weepin' Will as The beneTiciary. lShe was secreTly inTaTuaTed wiTh him.l The company was invesTigaTing his claim. She inserTed an ad in The paper requesTing help Tor The parTy To be held aT Gabby's Boarding I-louse in honor oT The exceIlenT work The Cavalry had done in rounding up The resT oT Killer's gang. Many disTinguished persons were asked To aT- Tend This evenT - The mosT prorninenT being The banker, Cheek, and his charming wiTe, EleganT Ellie: Mayor Long John and his Tiancee, Pinney POT: The Tamous acTor, I-learTbreak I-loolihan, commonly known in These parTs as Ready Freddie: his leading lady, Gunmoll Gayer: and The young bronco- busTer, Sonny, wiTh his guardian, Red Terror, who was being escorTed by Lover Lambour. The nexT day several girls answered The ad. Those accepTed To serve as waiTresses were Ragin' Rachel, EccenTric Ev, Bugsy, Wanderin' JuaniTa, Easy Emma, and Clever KaTe. The day beTore The parTy, Lippy LaPlaca wenT To Mischievous Mac's general sTore Tor supplies. While Lula Belle was waiTing on Pussy Prissy, The Town's wealThiesT spinsTer, she heard ThaT Barroom BeauTy was in EI Carim because she had been seek- ing Weepin' WilI's love. Q 'This is an inTeresTing coincidence,' ThoughT Lippy. IV Finally, The big evenT came To pass. ThaT eve- ning aromas TloaTed Trom The kiTchen oT Gabby's. Gossip GerTie helped The cook, Crisco Taylor, pre- pare The meal. ln The parlor, all eyes Turned upon Queenie, who was singing, 'There's gonna' be a hoT Time in The old Town TonighT.' ATTer she had Tinished, Jugglin' Jake, wiTh his besT perTorrnance oT The season, casT a spell over The audience. Suddenly, however. The silence was broken by Chuckwagon Charlies yell. 'Come'n giT iT!' ln The middle oT The meaT course, Bronco BenTIey sTaggered in yellin' 'Whar's ma' horse?' Chasing aTTer him, was Ridin' RiTa, who was aTTemoTing To lasso her roaming Romeo. I-lorriTied by The laTTer incidenT, Simple Simon, The schoolmarm, TainTecII and Jezibel, her buddy, immediaTely Threw The cold soup inTo her Tace. While all This was Taking place. Evasive Ev was Trying To evade Poncho, The Town Cassonova. While everyone was enjoying himseIT in his own liTTle way, The U. S. marshall was busy. Two by- sTanders, Gin Sampson and Sandy had Tipped oTT The marshall ThaT banker Cheek's bank was being robbed. PisTol Packin' Polly, wasTing no Time, hur- riedly arresTed Wild Willy and his crew oT Temale desperadoes, Perkin' Perkins, Geranium PlanTe, Denny, Ropin' Reeve, Ready Reidy, and Icy Irene. The bookkeeper, NeaT NiTa, who had TainTed during The Tussle, was revived by Rippin' Rose, lTchy Fing- ers nurse. Back aT The parTy, Lippy LaPIaca had iusT learned Trom CauTious Caroline ThaT Barroom BeauTy was married To Copperhead PTaeTTIin, a disbarred in- surance agenT back EasT. Lippy Then rushed To The Telegraph oTTice, which was operaTed by Aloysius, and ordered his secre- Tary, Ramblin' Rose, To dispaTch a Telegram To The home oTTice relaTing ThaT The case had been closed. AT This poinT, The old man sTopped and reTIec- Tively reliT his pipe. One OT The dudes Then asked: Wo hoppen? W-a-a-I-I-I l'Il Tell ya. IT seemed ThaT Barroom BeauTy was The brains behind The ouTTiT ThaT blew up The mine. The U. S. marshall Took her back EasT Tor Trial. Weepin' Will gave The mine To The people oT The Town and IaTer wenT To ioin The Foreign Legion. Gradually The mine peTered ouT. Since Their prin- cipal source oT income was exhausTed, The enTire popuIaTion moved TarTher WesT. BuT how do you know all This? asked The oTher dudes. IT happened so many years ago. Oh, I guess iT's iusT a MIRACLE! he answered calmly, puTTing on his pipe.
