Tl-IE CONSERVATORY -5 THE ARCHWAY mwmwmmmmmwmm Cbnwmh Administration ' Seniors Features Organizations Athletics Miscellany mwmwmwmwwmmm 7 STYLUS Administration The public high school of today, in addif tion to the traditional responsibility of prep- aration for college, has assumed a host of other duties, has increased its scope far be' yond that of college preparation alone, and serves a pupil body of which only a small proportion will eventually go to a higher educational institution. Many pupils enter with no definite objective beyond the high school. Therefore, as the Held of service has expanded and the opportunities offered have increased, the high school has been forced to establish machinery whereby pupils may be aided in choosing a profession or vocation, and in selecting that curriculum and such subject matter as will best fit them for that objective. This help, or guidance work, begins before the pupil enters the high school and continues until he graduates or leaves. Before the close of the school term a visit is made to each of the fifteen grade schools which will send pupils to Warren Harding High School the following term. The varif ous educational opportunities offered by the high school are explained to the eighth-grade pupils, and assistance offered in the selection of subject matter for the first year. This is the first step on the part of the high school in taking over the guidance work already started by the city grade schools. The school attempts by every possible means to become better acquainted with the new pupil, to learn his abilities, special tal' ents, preferences, and future aims. The home room teacher keeps for each pupil an indif vidual record covering personal history, ac' tivities, sports, studies, and outside work, and during the first year advises and encourages each pupil to make a serious study of several vocations or professions. At the close of the first year the pupil, aided by parents and the school, selects the type of school work which will be pursued during the remainder of the high school course. The individual subject courses are chosen and definite plans made for the work of each succeeding year. lt is not expected that all pupils will be able to make a permanent vocational selection at this time, but in some cases it can be done, and in all cases a definite educational selection is made. lf at any time it becomes necessary to change this plan, a revision is made of the entire program. By thus aiding in setting up a definite educational objective the school work is made purposeful and real. The pupil remains, so far as possible, with the same home room teacher for the full four years. This plan, although possessing certain disadvantages, leads to a better understanding of the pupil's problems by the teacher and permits more efficient guidance. Raymond P. Wzilker, vicefprincipal Bound by no traditions, it has been the happy privilege of the administrators and faculty of Warren Harding High School to approach many of their problems from the point of view of experimental education in all its phases,--with its flexibility, its adapta- bility, and its elasticity in program. The pupil life of the school centers itself through a carefully directed vocational counf seling and educational guidance program, in cofoperation with our excellent library facili' ties, in the following groups or departments of activities: English, social science, mathe' matics, Latin, modern languages, commercial work, science-as well as in the special activf ities, such as physical education, home nurs- ing, art, household arts, printing, expression, music, and normal conference work. It may be of interest to note that the two largest departments in our school are 'the Qs STYL 5 English Department, with a staff of eleven teachers, and the Commercial Department, with a staff of ten teachers. A few statistics may indicate the trend in the distribution of our pupils in these varif ous curricula. College Co-op Explora- Year Prep. General Tr.

Our community conditions, reflected in our community needs and requirements, is clearly demonstrated in the above trend. Our program of studies offers the follow' ing choice of opportunities in curricula: viz., the Exploratory Curriculum for classes one arid two, the College Preparatory, the Gen' eral, the Commercial, and the Cofoperative Trade School Curriculum for upper classes The College Preparatory Curriculum offers opportunity to prepare for college and scientif fic and normal schools The General Curriculum offers a broad and practical education to those pupils who are not preparing for a college but who may be preparing for the profession of nursing. The wide choice of electives allows a pupil to explore in a number of fields or to con' centrate in a special field, according to his abilities and interests: e. g., science, mathe' matics, languages, home training, etc. The Commercial Curriculum offers a thorough training for immediate entrance into business life or continuation of this type of education in a higher institution. The Cofoperative Trade School Curricuf lum gives an opportunity for work in the shops of the State Trade School by permit- ting the pupil to spend part of the day in the Trade School and part in classroom work at Warren Harding High School. Instruction in the following trades is available to the boys: machinist's trade, mechanical drafting, wood pattern making, carpentry, house paint' ing and decorating, plumbing, automobile ref pairing, electrical work, printing, mason work and bricklaying, and foundry practiceg-to the girls, dressmaking and millinery. Economic reasons and the opportunities which are open to our boys and girls in the general business and industrial enterprises of our city, no doubt, have been an incen' tive to them to prepare themselves ade' quately to earn a livelihood. It might be mentioned at this point that the increase in the enrollment in the Com- mercial Curriculum is also reflected in the growth of the Science Department, since science and civics are the approved electives for class one and two pupils who elect junior business training. This latter department is further aug' mented by the pupils of the College Pre' paratory and General Curricula who intend to specialize in the sciences in college or who plan to go directly into the shop or laboraf tory after graduation. Thus the faculty of Warren Harding High School through their splendid esprit de corps find themselves dedicated to the sacred task of developing the personality of the nation's chief spiritual and economic asset, the child. STYL This is brought about by their careful direction and supervision of the child's intel' lectual growth, habit formation, physical, social, and moral development, and aesthetic appreciation. And, if the best is none too good for the youth of today, who will be the lead' ers of the Democracy of tomorrow, why not the best? Agnes E. Collins, vicefprincipal Since the school's paramount interest tof day is to promote more complete social lives of youth as well as physical and intellectual lives, Warren Harding supports such activf ities as we feel will best develop in the pupils suitable habits and attitudes in the social relations of life. We encourage the organization of many different types of ac' tivities in our extrafcurricular program so that the benefits of the social training will be open to the largest possible number ac' cording to their interests and desires. The school endeavors to bring out the educational as well as the social and recreaf tional value of these activities. First, our home room plan of organization, with the home room teacher as adviser, and the home room leader as director, is social in its nature. The members of the group have a few minutes daily to plan together the work and the place their particular room is to take in the affairs of the school both from an ad' ministrative and from a social point of view. Then the different clubs of the school are all social and tend to develop good'felf lowship and pleasant relations among the pupils themselves. The past year we have had many organized active clubs that met at regular times for work and entertain' ment. Some of these were the Latin Club, the French Club, the junior Business Club, the S. O. S. Club, the Glee Clubs and the Speech Club, Besides their regular weekly meetings, each one of these groups gave an entertainment or dance during the year. These affairs were open to the whole school. Another phase of our school life which is entirely social in its nature is the daily luncheon of thc pupils. Our boys and girls are allowed to eat with whom thcy'please and chat with their friends very freely. They have the sponsorship of only one per son at this time. During the year we have many pure ly social functions, such as dances and frolics. Practically all of these affairs are held after regular school hours in the after noon in our own building under the direc' tion of sponsors. Only very few evening affairs are held during the year. We usual' ly have one entertainment, the Senior Ban- quet and the Senior Prom, in the evening during each semester. We feel that it is harmful for boys and girls of high school age to attend evening functions, besides, the school dislikes the added responsibility im' posed by such activities. All parties are under sponsorship and are arranged by committees of pupils selected by these patrons or elected by the group. The past year the French Club, the S. O. S. Club, and the Theatre League all gave very fine dances in the gymnasiumg the junior Business Club gave a party in the Commerf cial Department: and the Latin Club gave a splendid program in the auditorium. Different organizations, such as the Library Squad, the Leaders Squad, and the Stage Craft Club, while partly social in their nature, are groups that meet for dehnitely planned work. Their meetings are irregular. The Boys' Clee Club has appeared twice this year before the public and the Girls' Clcc Club once. The Senior Banquet is an evening affair planned by the pupils under thc direction of an adviser and chaperoncd by the ad' ministrators and senior class teachers. The STYLUS , L g r Fig' I Senior Frolic is an afternoon affair held each semester. Class eight people at that time have an opportunity to develop initia' tive and leadership in the planning of this program. Each room arranges a stunt and puts it on in the auditorium with the two lower classes as guests. This program is unsponsored except at the final perform' ance. The most spectacular function of the year is always the Senior Prom, a formal affair, at which the parents, members of the Board of Education, and members of the faculty act as patrons and patronesses. This is arranged for by different pupil commit' tees, who ind in their work plenty of op' portunity for leadership, initiative, and practice in working with others for a comf mon goal. Certain customs for these aff fairs are fast becoming fixed, such as the receiving line, the grand march, the pref cedent that, although the girls appear in formal dress, the boys do not wear tuxedos. Further festivities after the dance is over are not sanctioned by the school. The upper classes of our school are always organized for purposes of common interest but not many meetings are held except those of the seniors. This class meets frequently for business or social reasons, which makes for school unity and school spirit. They discuss such problems as graduation cos- tumes, class rings, and class pictures. The president of the class presides at these meet' ings, assisted by the other officers, and everything is conducted on a very democrat' ic basis. The attempt throughout all our activities is to develop creative school control, to aid the pupils to develop social ideals and habits desirable in school and in after life. We strive to make each pupil feel he is an inf tegral part of the school and of its life. julia E. Moynihan, dean. The promotion of the student's health as an obligation of the educational adminisf tration is recognized and assumed in a measure in advance of many secondary schools of today. A suite of three rooms, consisting of a firstfaid room, where minor emergencies are cared for, and two rest rooms, is provided. A graduate nurse doing fullftime duty is in attendance. Provision is thus made for the immediate care of emergencies and minor ail- ments. The cofoperation of the parents and physicians is sought and an effort made to def tect and report early evidences of health dis' turbances. Teachers and students are free at all times to consult with the nurse concerning individual health problems. All students ab- sent because of illness are examined before readmission to classes, and assistance in ad' justment to school work is arranged when necessary. This measure is also of import- ance in guarding against communicable disease. In the effort to meet the community need in the socialization of the program of stud' ies, classes in home nursing and child care for girls have been introduced. These class' es have two definite values: first, as a direct contribution in knowledge to meet life needs, and second, as exploratory subjects. Instruction is given by the school nurse in the simple and important practices neces- sary for intelligent home nursing and child care. ,The importance of medical supervif sion is emphasized, and the necessity of hygienic living in the prevention of disease. This work, based on the needs of the com' munity, should have a farfreaching social influence. As an exploratory subject such instrucf tion affords students interested in nursing as a profession an opportunity of testing their ability. It is also a means of discover' ing students having deinite aptitudes and STYL S interests for this vocation, and of directing them along lines of best preparation. The great impetus given to health work in the past twentyffive years has greatly increased opportunities in the nursing field, and the fact that fiftyffive of the girl students of our school indicated nursing as their first choice of a profession shows that there is a definite need for this type of instruction. Mary J. Latimer, school nurse The Bridgeport plan of selecting pros' pective normal school students has a three' fold purpose: first, to discover intelligent, so- ciallyfminded girls who would probably make good teachers, secondly, to encourage desirable pupils who of their own initiative have decided upon teaching as a vocationg thirdly, to persuade unpromising candidates to relinquish the idea of becoming teachers. The criteria for judging desirability inf volve Connecticut State requirements, psy' chological and other objective tests, high school grades, a personal fitness index, a physical examination, and the successful completion of prescribed normal' school preparation work. A very simple sociological study of Bridgeport is conducted by means of group conferences which concern themselves with questions centering about social composif tion, characteristic schoolfdistrict populaf tions, and the work of social agencies. Every problem is studied from the view- point of teaching and teachers. The methods employed in these confer' ences may be grouped under the head of re' ports, oral and written,, discussions, projects, committee investigations, and field work. It is intended that the study should de' velop an appreciation of the intellectual, so' cial, and cultural contributions of other lands, and also arouse a thoughtful attitude toward the great problems which arise through immigration. It is expected that the work will be of some value in breaking down racial antipathies and national hat' reds, and that it will indicate in some degree the important place in the vital problem of citizenship which should be occupied by the good American teacher. The group conferences disclose other values which are directly related to the self ection of prospective normal school stud' ents. They furnish opportunity for getting a fairly reliable impression of each pupil's personality in its larger aspects, such as willingness and ability to cofoperate, power to act intelligently upon suggestions, attif tude toward other persons and toward work, readiness and ability to assume and to dis' charge responsibility, appearance, manners, poise, and vocabulary. Ideals and standards in the matter of preparation may be gaugedg voice may be appraised as to tone, pitch, articulation, and enunciationg speech peculiarities and defects may be detected. Mechanical equipment, such as habitual grammatical usage, spelling, and penmanship may be ascertained. Lastly, each student's ability to select, arrange, classify, and use material may be deter- mined. ln addition to group work, there are in' dividual conferences which occur either at the request of the student, or as necessity requires. Mrs. Minnie Kelsey, director of the Normal Preparation Department. When the school opened in the Fall of 1925 the faculty felt that more should be done for the pupils who plan to go to col' lege than is accomplished in the average high school of today. To that end they def cided to set up a department known as the College Department. The teachers of the -. ,-. EELTHEI STYL S college preparatory classes automatically be' came members of this new group and help' ed to establish its policies. In this work there were two aims at the outset which they thought were absolutely essential: first, to guide the pupil in the self ection of his college course and to turn him toward the right college, second, to assist him in passing college examinations and al' so to help him make the necessary preparaf tions for entrance. With the foregoing in mind, the Educational Guidance Depart' ment was asked to assist in helping girls and boys as early as the sophomore year to pick out the right courses in high school, and, if possible, to determine the profession which they expected to follow later. The teachers of the college group early in December organized the pupils who plan to take the examinations of the College En' trance Examination Board and started to hold review classes during and after school hours. The teachers gave many hours of extra work, for which they received no compensation. These plans, as outlined above, have been continued during the three years, and each year they have been found to be more sue' cessful. The result of the college examinaf tions have been above the average, so that today the Warren Harding High School is rated in New England as one of the leading preparatory schools, outfranking in many cases the older high and preparatory schools in this part of the country. The first year more than eightyffive per cent of all the pupils passed the college board examination, and last year this percentage was raised to almost ninetyffive. Past records of other schools are not entirely available, but from confirmed reports the record which Warren Harding has made in the past two years has been exceeded in only one or two cases, and in those instances by private preparatory schools. Une of the outstanding features of the examination last year was the passing, by the preliminary group, of one hundred per cent of all examinations. A record is being kept of all pupils who pass all of the pref liminaries and the finals. To date, one pupil, Francis King, has succeeded in accomplishf ing the task. Fourteen pupils out of a pos' sible twenty have passed all of the prelim- inary examinations, The school has receivf ed many letters of commendation from col' leges, complimenting it upon the fine record in the examinations and also praising highly the record of the pupil who entered col' lege. To date, no pupil who entered col' lege from Warren Harding has been dis' missed due to failure in his college work. The teachers and the school look with pride to this record and know that in the future, when this new system has been thoroughly established, even more wonderful results will be obtained. justin Ricker, director of the College Preparatory Dept. The purpose of the wellfequipped, propf erly-administered school library of tofday is threefold in its relation to the activities of the school. In the first place, it meets the teaching work of the school at all points and serves as a central laboratory for sup' plying to the various departments additional apparatus in the way of books, periodicals, pamphlets, clippings, and pictures. Next, it furnishes a working laboratory for the inf dividual student, where he may exercise his ability to search out and follow up informaf tion, and where he is taught thorough, definite library instruction, or how to search intelligently for such information. And furthermore, it provides for the student an environment of carefully selected books and STYL 5 magazines, in which he is free to explore and discover his individual reading tastes In our three years of organization the aim has been to build up within the school a library which embodies this threefold ser' vice. We now have a carefully selected col' lection of more .than four thousand books, chosen to meet the curriculum needs of the various departments of the school, and also to meet the recreational needs of the stud' ents. XVe receive regularly throughout the year about forty different magazines, each representing the best in its particular field of information, and we have collected a large iile of pictures and clippings for class' room use. Our attendance records show that over onefthird of the entire student body uses the library daily, and during each period in the day the librarian, the assistant librarian, and one teacher are at hand to help these students, through guidance and suggestions, to find the material they need. All iirstfyear students are given instruc' tion in the arrangement of the books in the library and in the use of certain important reference books as sources of information. Also, during the year a reading contest is held, with the cofoperation of the English Department, for the purpose of encouragf ing the reading of interesting biographies and other stimulating stories of personal ad' venture. Many of the duties connected with thc daily routine of our library service are taken charge of by student assistants, who have organized themselves into a Library Squad, and whose interest in this school service and feeling of responsibility toward it help to in- still a similar' spirit among the other stud' ents of the school. lt is by means of this co-operation of students, teachers, and lif brarians that our wellfequipped library plant functions as an active, living force in our school life. Hazel Erchinger, librarian When Warren Harding opened in Septem' ber, 1925, there were 250 students enrolled in the Commercial Department. This enroll' ment has shown a steady increase each year, until today there are 362 students taking com' mercial work, or forty per: cent of the total school enrollment, exclusive of classes one and two. In September, 1925, there were only 65 boys taking the commercial courseg in 1928 we have 101 boys enrolled, an inf crease of fiftyffive per cent. This is en' couraging, for the demand each year for boys who have completed the commercial course has been much greater than the num' ber graduated. To encourage boys to enter the commercial course and to meet this def mand of the community, the commercial cur' riculum has been materially changed. Dur' ing the past year two new subjects have been added, business organization and advertising. It is also possible for students who may want to go to some higher institution to elect physics, chemistry, a foreign language, or mathematics, and thus meet the entrance re' quirements of many colleges. In the annual state contest held by the Connecticut Business Educators' Association on March 17, our entrants won first place in the 80-word shorthand contest, second place in the 100fand 120-word shorthand conf test, and second place in the advanced book' keeping contest. Miss Mildred Keegan's transcript in the 80'word contest was graded 100 per cent. Miss Elsie Stirk won second place in both the 100fand 120fword contest, while Alfred Del Vecchio won the second place in the bookkeeping contest. The department now has 78 graduates. A survey of the employment of graduates is made each year. The surveys show that of STYLUS the '78 graduates 70 are working, three atf tending higher institutions, and five engaged in activities other than commercial. These 70 graduates are scattered in 46 different offices in the city. The average beginning salary of our graduate is 31450. - The highest beginning salary has been 32100, and the lowest 51125. R. C. Bannatyne, head of the Commercial Department. If education is a preparation for life, then the opportunity to prepare for one of the most important phases of the life of the girl- that of home making-is amply provided for in the Household Arts Department. The complete equipment is sufficient to cause most girls to look forward eagerly to the time when they can actually start to cook or sew, or be' gin work in the furnished apartment. Every girl can remember happy times playing house and pretending to supervise a home. In the household arts course this natural instinct is fostered and directed to be of great value to the girl, regardless of the course she follows after high school. She discovers the important bearing the choice of proper food has upon her health and realizes that the lack of this health def prives her of earning power as well as of abilf ity to participate in the social activities of her friends. She finds that the ability to do creaf tive work is the source of immense satisfacf tion and that home duties, when performed in an orderly, wellforganized way, can never be classed as menial. She discovers that cook' ing is an exact science-not a matter of good or bad luck,----and this gives a new respect for the tasks which take a woman to the kit' chen at the three most important times of the day. She finds that with systematic plan- ning and buying she can save time and money spent in the kitchen, and that this systemiz' ing of work, coupled with a knowledge of combining foods, will promote health and happiness among the members of the family. She discovers the immense satisfaction to be derived from doing every detail well, and finds that the garment on which she has worked most painstakingly yields the greater pleasure of contemplation. ,This in itself- the proper attitude toward work-is of no small value. The girls'in sewing classes study their individual needs and visit department stores to study fabrics and see readyfmade garments they may wish to copy. Their fin' ished garments are exhibited when complet' ed. The advanced cooking classes carry on thc essentials learned in the elementary work, with special emphasis to menufforming, or' dering, and serving of meals. The cost of each meal is computed and comparisons made to determine whether the differences in cost are proportionate to the food value derived. The girls work in couples to plan and order a day in advance. On the day the meal is served to four members of their class, one girl does the cooking of the entire meal un' aided. This is of practical value, for it throws upon her the responsibility of plan' ning and arranging to have all food cooked at the proper time. Her partner acts as hostess, and at their next serving, they exchange duties. Often a girl sets bread the previous day in order to serve fresh rolls at her lunch' eon and win favorable comments from her guests, who are encouraged to criticize both favorably and unfavorably the food, service, and entire menu. Next come field trips to meat markets to study meat cuts, and to bakeries to watch the actual process of bread making on a com' mercial scale. The International Silver Com' pany cofoperated with the classes in studying silverware from the standpoint of beauty, utility, and manufacture. They issued bookf A STYLUS lets illustrating table service and containing many practical suggestions. A representative took the class on an educational tour thru the factory, showing every process in the manufacture and explaining the chemistry ofthe electrofplating. The company then offered prizes to the girls who had done the hest work throughout the term. The Rumford Baking Powder Company of' fers money prizes for a biscuit contcst in which evcry girl participates. The furnished apartment offers opportunity for actual home making, in the making of curtains, lamp shades, cushions, and other acf cessories. Trips to furniture stores foster good taste in choice of rugs and furnishings. Girls planning to enter college or the com' mercial world spend their entire high school course in preparation, but few people considf er the importance of being trained for the work which most girls will do for the longest period of their lives-the work of home mak- ing.

Sarah Herskowitz 45 STYL 5 From the Letters of a Senior July 9, 1925 Dear Aunt Hatty: My first day at Kossuth seemed to me an epochal event in the life of a great person. With the slow, dignified gait of a proud, all' knowing freshman, I made my way up the hill, accompanied, as it were, by the two high signs of my class, the flat, shining brief case and the almost traditional loosefleaf notebook. After deciding that the Frisbie Pie Company and the candy store on the corner made the location of the school ideal, I en' tered the building, where I was greeted with a list of rules and regulations. Gym must be taken at Waltersvilleg assemblies were to be held at Barnum, absence required excuses, and, above all, students must remember to keep to the right in walking through the halls. After my inferior social position had been duly impressed upon me by such directions and the dissertations of wordlyfwise sophs, I began to feel a little like Gulliver among the Brobdignagiansg but as I learned to speak in x's and y's and to decline the good farmer without making him feminine, my superiority complex gradually returned. About this time it was first rumored that the new Warren Harding building was near' ing completion and that we would be trans' ferred at Easter. But after a while such false alarms came to be a custom,. for by June the building was still in the process of erection and I was still attending the eightfroom, yelf lowfbrick schoolhouse. as :ie ae as :ie ae is Uanuary 25, 19261 After an extended vacation of three long weeks, I arrived at our new high school, which had just been completed. I had been there a few months before, at the laying of the cornerstone, and then, it being a rainy day, everything about the building seemed dull and unpromising. Consequently, I was agreeahly surprised by the high arched halls and the well-lighted rooms. Everyone was extremely proud of the new building, and we felt at last that we were attending a regular high school. In my Hrst flurry of excitement I joined four clubs and two teams, but was compelled to relinquish two because they met on the same afternoon. We have been en' joying assemblies regularly and are proud of our hall, which can seat twelve hundred students. We are beginning to participate in athletics, and Central has been designated as our bitterest rival. Because of our successful first season in sports, our teams are already gaining prestige. We have a fine athletic field, which in time will be further developed. I have joined the staff of our school paper, named, by a count of student votes, The Spectator. In English we are studying grammar at present and will in a short while take up Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities, in which I never could at first get deeply interested. We are also delving into geometry and Caesar's Commentaries One admirable characteristic of our school is the spirit of activity evident everywhere- in the session rooms, the corridors, and the class rooms. Though most of our organizaf tions have been already founded, time alone can erase their crudities and air of newness, rendering them smooth and progressive. PK as is wk is wk an Uune 29, 1927, Vacation over, I went back to the old grind, only this year there was the addi' tional work of writing for the Spectator and attending college board classes. Of the latter, rig? THE STYL S tl .3 g, l geometry was by far the most boring, for we were not used to such concentrated study of parallelograms and angles. It was suggested one night about Eve o'elock that a cafeteria be installed to cater especially to college board students struggling with impossible originals. But these classes did not prevent my at' tending the S. O. S., French Club, and Spec' tator dances. The French dance was especial- ly picturesque with its gay booths, and venf dors in costume. The big event of the year for thc girls, however, was the Track Meet, and although we juniors did not win, we were awarded first costume prize for putting on a Pied Piper stunt. The Pied Piper, dressed in a dazzling costume with a green tunic, red and yellow cape, brown hat, green stockings, and black boots, led the procession. Following her came four frisky gray rats, who had considerable trouble manipulating their tails, and behind them were the people of Hamlin, arrayed in pied costumes and carrying red and gold balloons. Though in athletics we attained no lofty heights, we excelled in scholastic achieve- ments, ten members of our class being ad- mitted to the Intellectual Aristocracyf' an wk ae ae ae as as fMay 9, 1928, I am now a senior and enjoying the privif leges to be accorded to such an exalted posi' tion. We look down on the rest of the school with disdain and consider ourselves on top of the universe. At assemblies we sit on the stage, the cynosure of admiring eyes, and watch impassioned speakers slip too far into the footlights. At Josephson's word we are the irst to march out of the auditorium past the lower classes. Though I cannot believe it, we are soon to graduate, for we have al' ready completed the preliminary preparations, having ordered our rings at Fairchild's and chosen our class characteristics. Our class has assumed the burden of athletics, with Jacobs and Lukachik on the baseball team, and Ward and Swczey among the most prominent in football. Almost the entire personnel of the minor teams is made up of seniors. XVith our gradual rise in social standing fand perhaps in economic valuel, our type of work has changed. We are dipping into Browning and Wcardswrirth and the rest of the English poets with comparatively greater zeal, and are extending our efforts to science and American history. We are also considering the lineage of the Latin gods and translating the works of the ancients. These elevated subjects of thought and en- deavor have, as others say, molded us into seniors, but a literal interpretation of this term is apt to be misleading. The surest intif mation that I have become a senior is perhaps that I have taken up a broader estimation of life and its values, and have become a trifle philosophic. All the minor faults of my fresh' man and sophomore years have vanished into the thin air, leaving the finished product, the senior. My broader estimation of life and my acquired philosophic learning have not been permitted to interfere with my activities at home, however, for I cut the grass and tend the furnace with the same ardor as when I was a freshman. Sidney Hoffman Celia Sclwpick , I TYL s Assemblies Among the most important regular feaf tures of school life are the assemblies, which have occasioned much comment from visif tors and gained popularity with the stuf dents. They are held almost every week and are marked by such good order and atf tention that military assemblies have now become an institution at Harding. The entire school marches in military order to the auditorium, while the band or the orf chestra, whichever the case may be, plays a march until the students reach the assigned seats. Because of the congestion, the seniors have been seated at the rear of the stage, facing the rest of the school. The other classes are placed in order in the assembly 50 hall proper. the balcony being reserved for thc freshmen. The seniors usually enter last. After they are seated, the color guard marches in and the entire assembly salutes the flag to the accompaniment of the flag salute, played by the bugler. Next, the student leader makes whatever announcements are necessary, and then the program is turned over to the speaker of the day. For the past two terms our leaders have been Henry Stillings and Jack Josephson. In order that the assem' blies may not interfere with the regular time for dismission, the faculty rearranges the periods on these days. The assemblies for the last year may be divided into two distinct groups: those merely for the purpose of arousing school spirit, called pep assembliesg and those featured by messages from some outside speaker. The pep assemblies have been very popular ever since they were first inf troduced, and this last term especially they have been more than usually successful with the added help of the band. They attempt to gain their end of injecting enthusiasm over coming athletic events by songs and cheers, led by special song leaders and cheer leaders. The school appreciates the fact that many prominent Bridgeport men have given their time to bring us some valuable experience from their lives. Dr. William Horace Day brought us a message drawn from the Con- ference of Christian Churches, which he attended at Geneva. Our Armistice Day assembly introduced to us Colonel Schoelfel, a local recruiting oiiicer. Later Mr. Fred Harrison gave one of his popular readings STYL 5 from Service, with an introductory talk on the Klondike. Monsignore Patrick L. Mc' Givney presented us with an illustrated lecf ture on his travels in Europe. With his mo' tion pictures he took us the length of the Mediterranean, showing 'us many of jthe beauty spots of the Old World and historif cal sites in Palestine. Captain Walker and Superintendent Wheeler of the police also gave us interesting talks on traffic laws and the value of the policeman to the country. Addresses by ,ludge Frank Wilder and by Ex' Commander Shalen of the Grand Army of the Republic were features of our Memorial Day assembly. Mr. Edward T. Buckingham, former Compensation Commissioner, and Mr. Carroll Reed, our superintendent, were other local men who gave addresses, the latter at our Junior Red Cross drive. Most of these speakers were obtained through the efforts of Miss Moynihan, who also helped to get many interesting visitors from outfofftown. One of these was Dr. Winfield Scott Hall, who addressed us on The New Age Of Chivalry. Another, Frank B. Kennedy, the editor of Collier's Weekly, pointed out to us the idealist and herofworshipper, in contrast to the materiaf list. Professor Happy was with us this term again with a new bag of tricks, he succeeded in getting us very interested in the miracles of nature without the aid of the miracles. His talk was, as usual, very original and humorous. A new visitor this year was Uncle Billy, another apostle of health. Besides these assemblies we have had one or two motion picture assemblies, featuring, The Chronicles of America, the beauties of our Western national park, or the ex' planation of some scientitic subject. This last term the boy and girl gym leaders treated us to a gymnasium exhibition. Another type of regular assembly is the musical assembly, sometimes entirely of stu' dent talent, but often made more enjoyable by such friends as Mrs. McNamara, Miss Kathryn Richards, Mr. Bruce Young, and Mr. joseph Girlando, whose sacrifices of time and effort to add to our happiness we appreciate so much. From these meetings of the entire student body come not only the obvious cultural benefits and training in poise and selffcontrol but also intense enjoyment. Wheia Thursday, the customary assembly day, brings no speaker, the student body experiences a gloom which can be dispelled only by a rumor of some treat the following week. THE FATHERS' CLUB EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE The Fathers' Club The WL1l'1'Cll Harding High Fathers' Club, which early in 1927 raised twentyfsix hun' dred dollars at a monster minstrel show, thus providing Harding with a fortyfpiece band, has gone forward without checking its pace during the past year, adding to its history a series of successes which keep it the valued auxiliary organization it has always been. The first business of the year was to elect otlicers. The following were chosen: PresidentmDr. Harold W. Hersey. Vice'President---Thomas J. Hungerford. Recording Secretary- -john j. MacFarland. Financial Secretary and Treasurer 'Rod ney C. Bannatyne. Publicity Manager! M. V. Doolittle. Executive coniniitteee -one year, Clarence Lister, Oliver Merillat, james McGovern, William lvIcDermott, Eliot Curtiss. Two years, Leonard Allen, Ernest Kin-f' lon, Philip Carroll, joseph Cubelli, Dr. li. Smykowski. Three years, Paul Becker, Ralph Hedges, Angus Thorne, Joseph Nlullins, lvlarcus Hirsch. k?l,THE STYL S, These men, all prominent East Side resif dents, form the committee that manages the affairs of the club fwhich, by state charter ref ceived in the fall, is a legal corporationj. Starting where it had left off last year, the club provided uniforms for the Harding band to enable the organization to appear at the fall football games. Repeating its generosity of 1927, it voted a iiftyfdollar scholarship to be awarded to a member of the February g r a d u a t i o n class. This scholarship was promptly doubled by Marcus Hirsch, a mem' ber of the executive committee. It was award' ed to Ellsworth Hemingway. In December the Fathers gave a victory banquet to the Harding city and state champion football team, at which letters were awarded. With the aim in mind of increasing the fund available for the Fathers' Club Scholar' ship and of donating books to the school li' brary, the club next conducted an entertain' ment with Captain Irving O'Hay, noted sol' dier of fortune, humorist. and lecturer, as the feature. This entertainment was a huge sucf cess, bringing in over a hundred and fifty dollars in spite of the high cost of the speakf er. The next entertainment sponsored by the association was a concert by the Middlebury College Glee Club, 1927 New England champions and winners of fourth place in the national contests. This group, showing finish' ed perfection and trained unison, gave an ex' hibition of collective singing that made a pro' found impression on the large audience pres' ent. This concert, too, netted a considerable amount toward the fun. The club next turned its attention to the Harding Revue, an immense allfHarding min' strel show, containing a chorus of over two hundred voices, all studentsf This show was directed by Mr. Joseph Heffil. The Revue packed the auditorium the nights of May 24' 25, again swelling the fund. With this event the Fathers' Club concluded what has been its most successful season with a clear record of attainment. To supplement our alumni, The Fathers' Club was organized in 1926 by our princif pal, and in these two years has grown to be an indispensible unit of our school. Its prim' ary aim is to increase the interest of parents and of the whole East Side in the work, actif vities, and needs of Warreii Harding. How- ever, through the enjoyment its entertain- ments have given, the club has also built up a force that unites the people of this side of the city socially. It has won the esteem and appreciation of the entire student body by its policy of do ing something , whenever possible, for the school and the pupils. TYL The Alumni Association Among the valuahle auxiliary organizations active this year is the Wxirreii Harding Alumni Association, which has worked conf sistcntly toward the goal of a Wilson R. Burns Scholarship fund. The first step toward this was a highly successful VarsityfAlumni haskethall game, which was played early in january and, although resulting in a 3742 victory forthe Varsity, netted over a hundred dollars. A henefit dance for the same cause was held successfully April 16, Other plans, for the culmination of which the memhers are working with enthusiasm, include Alumni Day and Assembly, to he an annual tradition, and a formal entertainment, to be held soon, which will also help swell the Burns Scholarship fund. The fund, it is planned, must eventually total several thousand dollars, the interest from which will support some Harding grad' uate at college, The scholarship is to he named in honor of the first Alumni president, who was killed in 1927. This organization, which includes practif cally all the Harding graduates, promises to heeome one of the most valuable of aids, working in cofoperation with the administraf tion as an instigator of scholarship and of traditions.

Rader The Luncheon Clubs Another link between Harding and the peof ple of Bridgeport is the school luncheons held in honor of the various city luncheon clubs. The Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, Exchange, and Civitan have visited us so far this year. The groups are invited by the Fathers' Club, and Doctor Hersey, president of this organization, acts as host. During a luncheon there are addresses by school administrative officers on some phase of school organization or accomplishment, as well as speeches by members of the luncheon club itself. Pupils of the Domestic Arts Dcpartf ment serve as waitresses, and the band and various members of the student body enter' tain with musical selections. If the guests are interested in some part ofthe life of the school, they are entertained after the luncheon by Rl committee of pupils who conduct them to the work in which they are interested. ln this way it is hoped that the city will bc' come better acquainted with our school and more interested in its activities. l X' X I mn l. ,YYIJWQ , ,V x .

Dudrick The Scholarshipleadership Awards At an asscmhly held Fchruary '23, 1928, Attorney Brent, as speaker for the United Civics Cluhs of Bridgeport, presented pins to students of Vx7arrcn Harding High School in recognition of their excellence in hoth scholarship and leadership. The cluhs that have united in offering these awards semifannually are the Kiwanis, the Rotary, the Lions, the Exchange, the Civitans, the Commercial Travellers, and the Reciprocity. Nominations of those pupils who are out' standing in leadership and receive a minimum average of eighty per cent are made by the teachers at the close of each semester. From these names as many as five per cent of the total enrollment of the class are awarded pins, the sophomores receiving pins of bronze, the juniors of silver, and the seniors of gold. These students wear the pins during the fol' lowing term and return them at the end of this period. Pins which the seniors receive are permanent awards. This method of rewarding students for their effort in studies and participation in ex' trafcurricular activities encourages excellence in scholarship and is an incentive to the self' sacrifice necessary for worthy leadership.

These leaders are chosen annually hy vote of the students of each session room, who elect pupils outstanding in personality and leader' ship and unafraid of work- ffor the position of room leader requires a great amount of alertness, control, and ahility to care for def tails. The duties of these students consist of the following: almost total responsibility on as' sembly days in the transportation of the room as a body, management of the sale of all tickets, the school paper, or the annualg the care of the cafeteria after lunch B. The lead' ers must he Hon the john always, with a mini- mum of ahsences, and must he ahle to overf come sales resistance. They must represent their rooms at all meetings of their group and he ready to devote time to the service of the school whenever necessary, They must hold the esteem of their roommates and he on good terms with all teachers. Thus the life of room leaders is tlittienlt and the duties exacting. lt is greatly to their credit that all ticket sales have heen successful and that there has lwcen almost faultlcss marching to assemblies. ,, K-.

The Spectator One of the most promising and effective organizations in school is the Spectator, which was founded early in '26 to publish news of the school's activities, to promote the Harding spirit, to criticize where criticism is needed, and to keep the alumni in close conf tact with the school. It is a sixfpage, tri' weekly publication containing separate sheets for sports, literary articles, and humor. In September of '27 Sidney Hoffman was elected editor, with john Hersey, Sigmund Miller, Jacob Rosenthal, Constance Burns, Celia Schopick, and Katherine Merillat asf sistants. The objectives of the year were bet' ter makefup, more photographs, better and more varied types of editorials, more student control, improvements in advertising cuts, and livelier cartoons. In January, 1928, James Ward, a football letterfman, assumed control. His push and vigor has done much to improve the paper. Supported heartily by so great a student body, the Spectator has many reforms for which to strive. Among these is the project of a weekly paper. Still more student control is desired, for students will work steadily for what they conceive their own. Greater varif ety and more comprehensiveness in news articles are qualities yet to be desired. Witli improvement in these features, Harding will have a newspaper which will be difficult to surpass. .s .-X ,-if-X ji,THE STYLUSjfi4f THE ORCHESTRA R. Cordnccr, Morello, Wollncr, V. Abercrombie, D.

Besides their cultural value to the student body, they have helped to form school pride and increase what is so essential to a new school,-school spirit. From the beginning of the football season, thru the basketball and basball seasons, our band has urged the teams on to victory, and the orchestra has put en' thusiasm into our assemblies with its spirited marches. On December 16, 1927, the band made its formal debut, and all four musical organizaf tions appeared in the first big concert of the kind which we have held. That Friday even' ing in our auditorium marked the beginning of a series of concerts of which we can truthfully say, L'The more the better.

Wigrc The Harding Theatre League The Theatre League of Warren Harding was organized three years ago under the su' pervision of Miss Mary Anderson. Keeping in mind its aims-to develop an appreciation for the highest type of drama, to further artistic talents, and to encourage play read' inge-programs are planned for the weekly meetings. At these, musical selections, mon' ologues, character interpretations, scenes from Macbeth, Hamlet, and Cyrano de Bergerac are presented. The members of the club, who number seventyffive, are all interested in some phase of dramatic art, and each one serves on a committee covering the particular topic in which he wishes to gain experience. Some of the groups are the acting, costuming, stage- craft, and music committees. The officers of the club during the first semester were Mildred Keegan, president: Catherine Hancort, vicefpresidentg Myrtle Meyer, secretary and treasurer. At the Feb' ruary election the president and secretaryf treasurer were refclected, and Margaret Sautter was chosen vicefpresident.

At the meetings, held twice a month in the auditorium, the members are given an opportunity to display their special talents as well as to engage in debates and spelling matches. The aims of the club are to train the voice so that it may be an adequate medium of ex' pressiong to free the speech from all local or class dialect and artificial pronunciation which may tend to make it affected, vulgar, or prof vincialg to give training in conversation, de' hating, reading, and all forms of public speakf ing: to give the members an opportunity to acquire poise and an ability to express their thoughts and emotions. A matinee consisting of various musical selections and recitations was presented by the club. Among those who took part in the program were Robert McDermott, Katherine McNifl:, Mary Grflin, Catherine McDermott, Eleanor Stratton, Lillian Zeitlin, and Mar' garet Dowds. The entertainment closed with the playlet Gretna Green with Alice Mas' len as Maria Linleyg Eleanor Stratton, Aria Linleyg and William McGovern, Thomas Linley. The design for the club pin was drawn by ,lack Hackerd and Bliss Anderson. The officers for the fall semester were Marie Coughlin, president, Helen Sima, vice' president, Robert Hanson, secretary and treasurer.

MCFARLAND Vocational Guidance - A guidance system is being developed in our whole city system under the able leader' ship of Mr. Vlorcester Warren, Assistant Superintendent of Schools. Beginning with the SA grades, regularly assigned periods of vocational study have been included in the course of the school week. With the aid of bulletins Qovering the main points of over fortyfiive occupations and through the use of books listed in our local libraries, an intensive and profitable program of the dissemination of vocational information has been arranged. The SA teachers act as personal advisers to their pupils in recommending investigations of their occupational interests, that they may better choose the most suitable subjects for their first high school year. In Warren Harding High School a contin' uation of this preliminary ground work of guidance is carried on through the aid of the home room teachers of classes 1, 2, 3,. 4 and the vocational adviser. A very complete guidance card for each student in these class' es is filled out each term by means of a per' sonal interview with either the teacher or the vocational adviser. The latter has made it a custom to interview personally every incom' ing class I boy and most of the boys of class 2. Small group conferences are also held with the vocational adviser in regard to the choice of vocation, the selection of subjects, or the requirements of various colleges, whose latest catalogues are kept constantly at hand. Each term talks are given in all the 8A grades throughout the east side of the city, visits made to the State Trade School with those boys who have evidenced such an inf terest, and representatives from all the 8A grades on this side of the river conducted on a tour through our high school. As calls come from grammar school principals, the ad' viser holds conferences with parent groups at night on the subject of high school educa' tion. Our guidance program has reached these dimensions at this time, and we are planning definitely to enlarge upon this per' sonnel work next year. john J. McFarland, vocational adviser THE S. O. S.

Club The Society of Stenographers is composed of class 7 and S pupils taking commercial sub' jects. The purpose of this organization is to bring students of similar interest into closer contact with each other, to stimulate interest in the study of shorthand and typewriting, to acquire speed and accuracy in dictation and transcribing, and to acquaint its members with the fundamentals of the business world. The meetings are made valuable by the discussion of topics of interest to the organif Zation, such as practice in stenography and difficult words and phrases in dictation. Memf bers are also given opportunities to hear talks by local business men. Mr. Whipple, mana' ger of the personnel department of the Rem- ington Arms Company, outlined the require' ments of the stenographer and bookkeeper, giving valuable hints on what is expected of a high school graduate when employed in an office. During the school year Mr. Henderf son iof the Junior College spoke to the group on the opportunities which the junior College offers to commercial graduates. The social possibilities of the club have not been neglected, however, for there have been two wellfattended S.O.S. dances during the year. Three members of the club participated in a contest at the twentyfsixth annual convene tion of the Connecticut Business Educators' Association. Mildred Keegan won the high school state championship in the 80-word shorthand contest, while Elsie Stirk won secf ond place in the high school state champion' ship 100fword shorthand contest and came out third in the 80-word division. Myrtle Meyer won honorable mention in the shortf hand contest. The club has prospered under the direction of Miss Nash and Miss Hoffman. The officers for this semester are Dora Bonitati, president, Margaret Dudrick, vicefpresident, Annice Walker, secretary, Marie Rizzi, treasurer, Helen Kennedy, chairman of the social com' mittee. - The junior The junior Business Club, reorganized by Miss Warren and the students of the junior Business Training classes, was formed to bring together the freshmen who have just entered Warren Harding High School from the various elementary schools, to create a spirit of friendly cofoperation among these students, to stimulate a greater interest in modern business methods, and to observe and study these methods as applied to the business world. Local business and professional men have addressed the students on subjects pertinent to the club's particular interests. These men have Business Club emphasized the need of the eflicientlyftrained men and women, the opportunities for advancef ment, and the high ideals that are so essential in business. They exemplify the profession of the business man, which now stands side by side with the other learned profewionsf' The club plans to make some inspection trips to local companies.

Formichella, Evelyn Miner Ccenterj Le Cercle Francais Under the supervision of Miss Miller, teacher of advanced French, Harding's first modern language organization was formed this year. A minimum mark of 80 in French was made the requirement for membership. In the autumn those eligible met as members and selected the following officers for the first term: president, Anna Pokrasg vicefpresident, Pulvio Lisciog secretary, Mary Kostick, and treasurer, Elizabeth Marks. The first initiation proved to be very eff fective, the entire procedure conducted in French. Thirty candidates were admitted. A repetition of this initiation took place at the beginning of the second term under the new officers: president, Pulvio Lisciog vicefpresif dent, Dorothy McDougall, secretary, Mar' jorie Bradshaw, and treasurer, Elizabeth Marks. Le Cercle Francais aims to be both an edu' cational and a social unit. The members conf duct business meetings in French. This cus- tom appeals to the student because it is at' tractive and unusual, and at the same time furnishes practice in French conversation. Before each meeting, a few club members are asked to prepare French songs, poems, plays, games, or short stories, which they pref sent after the business is transacted. The two outstanding social events conf ducted by the club were the French Tea and the French Dance. The former took place just before the Christmas holidays. Attractive invitations, Christmas decorations, refresh' ments served by French maids, and a radio program broadcasted from the music room above were features of the party. On the afternoon of April 9 an enthusiastic crowd of Harding pupils attended the French Dance. Varifcolored caps and parasols, as well as cake and candy, were sold. During intermission there were dances and songs. The French Dance was pronounced the most successful festive and social event of the year at Harding.

Bclinkic Hardiensis Societas Latina A new and unique club has been formed on the plan of the ancient Roman government. Only honor students in Latin are eligible for membership. In case a student drops below the honor grade, he is either listed as an asso' ciate member without the power to take any active part in the meetings, or exiled for a semester. The ancient class distinctions are observed by naming the classes senators, equesf trians, and plebians. The purpose of this club is to encourage scholarship in Latin by giving distinction to honor students, to furnish an incentive for leadership, to create an interest in classical things, and to encourage students to continue the study of Latin. Meetings are held once a month, at which the various classes entertain. For instance, in December the Romans celebrated a festivity called the Saturnalia, at which time it was the duty of the nobles to entertain the lower classf es. So at the December meeting the senators gave the program. The pupils acted out the important ceremonies or events in a Roman boy's life:--the presentation of the baby to the father by the mother, a day in school in which the boy is flogged, the laying aside of his utoga praetextau for the garb of manhood, and final' ly his marriage. The feature of another meeting was 'LA Few minutes with Cicero, showing the trial of the conspirators and the oration against Catiline. The officers elected this year are Consuls: B. Vack, C.

Miska Football True to expectations, Hardi1ig's 1927 foot' ball team made an excellent record for the school. Having tcn of last year's letter men to start with, Coach Mead succeeded in forming a team that was recognized as state champion. With the veterans Pivarnik, Klein, Rice, Graham, Cholko, and Ward in the line, and Swezey, De Rosa, and Hanusovsky in the backfneld, helped out by such new varsity material as Miska, Sisko, Walsh, and Shrieber, the boys succeeded in sweeping their opponf ents before them. Of the eleven varsity men, Pivarnik, center, Hanusovsky, fullback, and Miska, tackle, received berths on the allfstate team. On September 24 the season opened with the Carmel Hall game. Although this school defeated Harding last year, we were victorif ous in this encounter 7.2f0. After winning the second game from Ansonia, the eleven visited Naugatuck, where they mct their only defeat. Evidently spurred on by this tumble, they easily won their next four games. The last game of the season, played with Central High, aroused great enthusiasm both in the rival schools and in the Whole city. This game was hotly contested throughoutg never' theless both teams showed their usual ine sportsmanship. When the final whistle blew, Harding had won the city championship by a 1297 victory. The crowd of about 7,000 that witnessed this contest was probably the most colorful in the athletic history of Bridgeport's schools. At the banquet given the boys by the Fathers' Club as the closing event of the sea' son, the squad wisely chose Albert Hanusovf sky for next year's captain. He has been var' sity fullback for two years and hopes to pilot a winning team in 1928. Following the ban' SQEZFTHE STYLUSjZ'lgf . -. 1... I O o Y - - t- 0 0 A ' U . A X, . .1 .

Although greatly handif capped hy a lack of veterans for the nucleus of a winning varsity, Coach Dworski succeed' ed in developing a squad that has had a very sucessful season for a firstfyear organization. When the call for candidates was first issued, about sixtyffive boys appeared. ln a short time the squad was reduced to managef able size, leaving the men who completed the season. After winning two games with Lincoln junior High, the team journeyed to Pawling, New York, to play the Pawling High team. In this encounter, which took place in a minif ature hlizzard, the Harding boys showed wonf derful form and defeated this experienced team hy a score of 6fl. Following this conf test they began a threefgame series with Cenf tral for the city championship. The first two games were divided, Central winning 2f1, and Harding the second 1f0. After many delays and postponements the two teams met for the third time, and Central captured the city championship by reason of a Zfl victory. With this game Harding closed its first soccer season. Coach Dworski entertains hopes for a still more successful season next year, as he has several veterans upon whom to huild his next soccer varsity. Harding .... ............. Harding .,...... .

Harding's basketball season opened on December 9 with a victory over Stratford High. The first big game took place janu' ary 28, when the team played Central before a record crowd. The contest was thrilling from start to finish, being a nipfandftuck conflict throughout. When the final whistle blew, Harding was victorious by a 23f2l score. After this game the squad received a severe blow, as the February graduation took Sisko, star forward, and DeRosa, veteran STYLUS guard, from further participation in basket' ball at Harding. Nevertheless, the boys carf ried on in excellent style, and in the second Central game the quintet captured the city championship by a 30f14 score, thus estabf lishing, up to that time, Harding's supremacy over Central in two of the major sports of 1928. Another season's victory in baseball will make the major victories complete. Perhaps one of the most outstanding events in the 1928 season was the barnstorming tour on February 17 and 18. The squad travelled to New London and on the after' noon of the 17th engaged the strong Chap' man Tech. team. After decisively defeating them, the Harding quintet tackled the Ston' ington High group, another strong combinaf tion, and again were victorious. The next day the boys were entertained by Rogers High of Newport, R. I., last year's New Eng' land champions, and succeeded in defeating them a hardffought contest. To furnish a fitting climax for the season, the Harding quintet fought its way to the Enals in the Yale Interscholastic Tournaf ment. In the irst game Harding encountered Meriden, one of the favorites, and defeated them by the score of 29f14, the most decisive victory in the tourney. The second contest, played with Hillhouse, was adjudged one of the most exciting and spectacular ever played between two high school teams in the Yale gymnasium. With Hillhouse leading almost all the time, the Harding boys by 'a superb effort managed to tie the score in the last few seconds of play. In the overtime period Captain Eddie McPadden secured the ball and with deadly accuracy dropped it into a basket from the center of the floor, thereby giving Harding a twofpoint lead. Despite all their efforts, Hillhouse could gain only one more point, and at the last whistle it was Harding's game. In the final contest with Bristol, Harding spirit not overcoming the fatigue brought about by the afternoon game with Hillhouse, the team succumbed to defeat at the hands of last year's champions. After the game the finalists were given a banquetg the Bristol players were presented with gold basketballs, while the Harding boys received silver ones. Manny Klein gained the distinc- tion of being the leading player of the tour' ney, while Captain McPadden was complif mented on the fine way in which he conductf ed his teamfmates. The team next year is to be led by joint captains, Elliot Graham and Manny Klein. Both hold optimistic views in regard to next year's prospects.

As the majority of the squad has had previous experience at track work, much is expected of the 1928 team. Harding now boasts two track coaches, Mr. Quigley, in charge of the run' ncrs, and Mr. Dworski, director of the field events. Both of these men are striving hard to gain a prominent position for Warreii Harding among the track teams of the state. The group includes these boys for the diff ferent events: sprint-V-Klein, Sands, Romano, Flaherty, Doherty, Dixon, Derman, Russell, Hemingway, and Fariang halffmile-Cooney, McBride, and Denehey, mile-Beers and Mc' Dcrmott: jump - Hanusovsky, Cooney, Smith, Couture, discus--Hanusovsky, Hava' nich, and Petrovichg javelin-Klein, Clark, and Woleneckg shotput-Hanusovsky, Wolef neck, and Heckerg pole vault-Farian, Kemp' ton, and Schofield. Since a majority of these men are underclassmcn, Harding's track fu' ture appears exceedingly promising. A schedf ule of ten meets has been arranged and the 1928 season ought to be an interesting one. The Schedule Roxbury May 7 Taft May 10 Pawling May I2 Triangular Central, Hillhouse, Harding May 19 Yale Interscholastics May 22 Stratford May 29 Central Buckley May l june I June 6 Fairfield june 9 Crosby s Golf Now that the Harding High Golf Associaf tion has been organized for two years, the 1928 team is a much stronger combination than either previous one. The team, sponf sored by Mr. Ricker, has been practicing diligently since the Beardsley Park course opened, and much is expected of the boys this year. Matches have been arranged by Manager Henkel with some of the best inf terscholastic golf teams in this section and several very interesting trips are in store for the Harding golfers. A new system of choosing the fourfman team for each match has been instituted and promises to give every boy a fair opportunity. The players are arranged according to their ability, the more proficient at the top of the list. The boys of less ability may challenge the ones above them and, as their game im- proves, advance to a higher position. From this list the first four are selected as the team, and the next two as alternates. In addition to Captain William Murko, Manager Andrew Henkel, Joseph Caparaso, Charles Duzmati, and Edward Vivirski fwho played for Harding last yearj, Thomas Tara- sovic, Harthon Bill, Harry Hollwarth, Roger Bakey, Vincent Biroschak, and Alfred Hollf worth have appeared for practice.

Their record was poor, but it must be admitted that they were forced to meet many obstacles. They could practice only twice a week, with the Y. M. C. A. pool, a very small and outfoffdatc tank, the only place available. Even under these diiiiculties some of the boys have shown marked ability, among them Captain Eugene Havanich, Michael Hyra, Richard Brown, Francis Carroll, and james Gorman. They have had an excellent coach this year in the person of Captain Baum of the Seaside Life Guards. The team has made an arrangement with the Captain to continue practice this summer under the sponsorship of the Seaside Swimming Association, of which the coach is the head. With this tutelage, the boys should be in line mettle for the next season. The team specialized in the breast stroke, the backfstrokc, the 5Ofa11d 100-yard strokes, and the relay. The schedule for the season is as follows: Harding l 3 Canterbury 47 5 Crosby 43 l 5 Roxbury 47 7 New Haven 5 3 7 Pawling 3 3 16 Central 39 . Tennis About fifteen boys at Harding showed sufiicient interest in tennis to report for prac- tice late in April. As only three of them were last year's letterfmen, the 1928 squad was a rather inexperienced group. Manager jacob, and Engelman, Hoffman, Kane, Schwartz, Shanahan, Resnikoff, Shalvoy, Wollner, Yurf din, Belinkie, Fleischer, Wallen, Rosenberg, and Shellaby are among the ones interested. Manager jacob has arranged for these boys a hard schedule with some very strong teams. As there is such a large squad the team that represented the school was selected by means of a roundfrobin tournament. In this type of elimination the players are arranged according to their prowess. A man is allowed to challenge any of the three men above him and, if victorious, exchange places with him. In this way a man who improves during the season may gain a place on the varsity. Since tennis is a late spring sport, it is not possible to include an account of the matches played, but the schedule of the proposed matches is as follows: May 1 Roxbury May 2 St. Thomas May 8 Stratford? May 17 Milford Prep May 24 Central May 29 Hillhouse June 6 Central' mlnclicates game is held at home. STYL 5 wma in gg '.- rffgwan-a.g my-an THE RIFLE TEAM T. Hungerford, I. Smith, W. Sheane, R. Qabler Coach Kuhn, MacPherson, F. Miller, Rich, W. McGovern, Mr. O'Meara, J. Garrick, C. Abercrombie, D. Dabbs Rifle C The rifle team this year has had its usual season of triumphs, under the instruction of Coach Kuhn, a nationallyfknown marksman, and the sponsorship of Mr. C'Meara, bidding fair to complete its third season without a def feat. So far the team has twice placed seventh in the national matches, and is gradually working into a condition that will carry it even higher. It has never placed first in the country, but the members are working to ac' complish that feat. It has already gained the state title for the season up to May I, and the manager is busy trying to get matches with all those teams which might make a claim to the championship. The new targets for this year require a far greater degree of accuracy than those of the previous two years. They are abou' onefthird the size of the others and consequently very much harder to hit. joseph Carrick has been the captain and the manager of the team for the last season, as well as the prefeminent shot. The scores of the principal matches are as follows: Hillhouse -H2 NV. H. H.

The formal program of the girls' athletic season opened this year with a hockey game between Warreii Harding and the junior League. The latter team won by a score of four to one. Hockey is an open game with no personal contact, such as in basketball. Much skillful passing may be done by the cofoperation of all the eleven players. The next sport was soccer, which was carried on throughout the different gym classes. More girls have had a chance to participate in soccer and hockey than in any other sport because there are eleven girls on each team. Soccer makes a girl more alert and healthy because it is fast and can be played outfoffdoors. The teams that have made an outstanding record were captained by Betty Lewis, Dorothy Fowler, Helen Foland, and Marietta Orton, who led the undefeated Vvfellesley team. Girls' interclass basketball games made up the basketball program for this year. At first each class had A and B groups, A for the best players and B for the substitutes. The seniors, led by Helen Foland, won the series, capturing six games and losing one. Of the lower classes, class three, under Evelyn McNiff, did the best playing. In the spring tennis is added to the list of girls' sports. On May 24 the girls' interclass track meet is to be held on the Harding Athf letic field, with a 75fyard dash, a walking race, a basketball throw, a baseball throw, a threeflegged race, an intcrclass hockey game and a baseball game. INTRA-MURAL CHAMPIONS J. Rovegno D. Amos F. D'Auria ,M. Turko J. Caporaso Y G. Frick I. Schofield Boys' lntrafmural Athletics Interclass sports have taken a prominent part in the boys' athletic program during the past year. This increased interest in interclass competition has heen aroused through the tireless efforts of Coach Williztni Dworski, who has sponsored all such activities. During the haskethall season four inter' room court leagues were organized, The win' ners of each league met in an elimination tournament, and room 116 was heralded as champion when it defeated room 112 in the finals. The Harding room champions were presented with a large gold and hlue hanner as a trophy. Another important organization under the Harding mentor's charge is the gymnasium captain's team, which is studying advanced gymnastics. These hoys gave an interesting exhihition of their work at an assemhly. Track furnished another activity for inter' class competition. The juniors ran rough' shod over all other classes at the track meet held at Seaside Park on April 20. The juniors led the held with a total of ii points, and the Sophomores placed second with 36. The Seniors could register hut 24 points, and the Freshmen had to he satisfied with a lone point. The juniors are now the proud possessors of the heautiful silver loving cup which was awarded the winners hy G. W. Fairchild and Sons, local jewelers. The individual trophy was presented to M, Klein. A Hanusovsky was his closest opponent. .if QQ? t5 .-c . ,gg 1 ,Lg is X id- 4 ' u The Athletic Association Although the united efforts of the athletic coach and the members of the various teams have been responsible for our unusual record in sports, to the Athletic Association is due the credit of furnishing the financial support that made success possible. Such interest has the student body shown in the Harding teams that this organization now comprises thc en' tire student body, although membership is voluntary. The membership fees thus form a substantial basis for a budget. The money is divided so that not only the major, but also the minor sports have a chance to work out their programs efficiently. Thus more pupils are given the advantages of participation in school teams. The Association is managed by a council composed of eleven members, including repref sentatives of the student body and members of the faculty, and it is sponsored by Mr. Justin Ricker, head of the Science Department. The council holds meetings weekly to discuss what' ever phases of school athletics come under its jurisdictions- nameiy, the progress of the athletic program, the work of the managers of the various teams, who are elected by the student body, and the budgeting of funds.

The game was fast from the start. Central won the cartwheel toss and chose to kick off. Blinker, Harding, received the kick and ran thru the field for a touch- down. Harding kicked this time, and was saved from disaster by Capt. Nowitz, who made a desperate ef- fort and tackled the Cen- tral fullback by the mous- tache on the four-yard line. On the next play Central was penalized forty yards for attempting to hide the ball. However, a line buck by the Red-andJBlack quarter went thru and the enemy made their first score. Score, end first quarter, Harding 6, Central 11. In the next period, Hard- ing held the opponents scoreless, but put over three touchdowns and four field goals. The Hilltop- pers fell into a rare bit of luck when the game was held up, just as a Harding- ite was about to get away to another score, in order that the derby of a Central supporter might 'be re- trieved from the field. Score at the half, Harding 36, Central 11. At the beginning of the third quarter, three Cen- tralites were found to have greased their leather jack- ets, and a penalty was im- posed. In the final period the drive of the Centralites was so vigorous that many penalties were necessary, anfong them that imposed upon the westside center, 'ilcig ' oum gruwr: CUWTMN NOWITZ Prof. Sombre Gives Health Hints Many practical and useful suggestions on how to live to a grand old age were given the students at an assembly devoted to health held recently by Professor Billy Sonrbre.

R. Bill Yuss POWER Harding: has illustrated its pre-eminence in every field of endeavor. The prolixity of athletic suc- cess has outshadowed any other achievements that the cooking department has attained. VVe must drop the word can't from our vocabulary and get be- hind our boys. Otherwise our pineal glands will not function properly. Never before in the history of our school have our ath- letes shown greater evi- dence of the true Harding inscrutability, the spirit of Never Say Die . Never- theless you ask, What? VVhy the homework as- signments? While you speak of their length and incomprehensibilitty, we are looking for ways in which to perambulate them. That spirit of determination can do things that are deemed retroactive, even make the goldfish in the Biology room Hop out of their bowl, like Guapenas. But We are getting away from our subject. Yes, every business of to-day wants a real go-getter . Work and conquer is our motto. Though Lindbergh soup has a great moral influ- ence on the complacency and stodfriness of the school janitorial force we must not forget the shouts of acclaim we must tender to those who went down fighting in the cafeteria. Umm O 00Nieu'rs as ensue. Za' R 'i L ALAJXX l ,,,...., wmvnmcuv JV' nw'-xanax-Y Dear Doc Sawyuh: ' I wonder if my poignant experience may be compared with that of Eternal Fugi- tiveu? I was standing in the cafeteria, waiting for the line to move on, when I happened to glance over to the boys' side. By chance there was approaching the till a figure ma- jestic, lofty, attention-holding, He moved with perfect gra-ee, gliding his 'tray ahead of him with eloudlike smoothness, and count- ing his coins in the other hand by a superb -control of the digital muscles. I-Ie was tall, fair-haired, and his steel-iblue eyes penetrat- ed the ozone to me. He stopped jerklessly, paid the bill with the air of a well-to-do per- son who incidentally owns half the stock of the establishment, lifted his tray, smoothly with one hand and set out. He showed the fearlessness of eternal youth overcoming all obstaclesg he might have been a Greek Hero setting out to war. Faultless, he p1vo:ted, and, straight as an arrow, marched directly to his seat, with the lofty pride and bearing of the stag. Watching him, I felt as if I had seen a beacon light in the fog which surrounds me. I left dizzy, transfixed., uplifted. The common daily assignments seemed below mc. ' Suddenly I was brought to earth with a jolt by a voice from across the counter: VVant some hash ? I felt profoundly vexed, offended. I glanced to my right and saw an .empty space. Hastily remarking, with an inward feeling of guilt, that I was trying to decidle what to choose. I passed on, proceeded to my seat, ate little, and dreamed. I was sick- ened by the talk around me, saitiated with the commonplace. I end-ed by doing no English. and 'by tak- ing the consequences. XVould you send me the address of Eter- nal Fugitive. Signed: ONE WHO MUST REMAIN NAMELESS. ' 0 ANSWER: Your hero was a vision, there being no Greek Heroes in Harding who are willing to pay their bills. 90 SMOKE Slowly, silently, now the smoke Belches from fires of burn- ing coke: This way and that it rolls and heaves O'er towers and spires and dirty eaves, Like vaporous ink in heavy clouds Or rising giants in smoky shrouds. I-iitched to the curve the horses sneeze, From 'clouds of dlust 'blown on the breeze. In dusty coops, the chick- ens chick, And wild from smoke, at each other pluck. To his nest in the crown of a sooty hat Over the dump runs a smoky rait. In a house, on a table, in a charred dish. Ready to eat is a dry, smoked fish. HOME ROOM NOTES That atmosphere of dy- namic energy which is so obvious at Warren Hard- ing owes its origin to the versatility of the home rooms. Each room can boast of its peculiar per- sonalities, therefore the most vaunting is 209. With the passing out of its members the construction of a new reputation 'for the school will 'be necessary. In its confines are athletic and professional men, a liberal supply of gentle- men-of-leisure, along with a few shy, sad young poets. The majority being inclin- ed toward the professions, their efficiency and co-op- eration is, of course, notice- able. Their 'frequent as- sembly rehearsals have been caused by that united we stand and fall spirit. When one person gets out of step, others must vary too, fwhile the blaring bugle appeals to the susceptibili- ties of all. They scorn the plaudits of the crowd, how- ever, their own actclama- tions of themselves being sufficient.

Looking up, as they lay, they wondered about the use of the barren Plane. But the Plane' tree exclaimed, Ungrateful creatures! and chide them for their baseness and blindness. You are the Travellers and our Advertisers are the Planeftree --but we know you will appreciate the shelter given you.
