Each one is hoping to better fit himself or herself for future living. Each person or group consciously or unconsciously are eagerly seeking development in those things that will make living with the other fellow more enjoyable. Each class as a group seek to establish a distinct class personality. This group personality is best recognized through participation and accomplishment in extra-curricula activities. Our glee club, orchestra, band, athletics, debating, dramatics, dances, stunt nights, initiations, all give the student the satisfaction of having carried on successfully work of a cooperative nature. Your class has done much in all of these functions. You have strengthened the sense of fair play, cooperation and consideration of others in Hartford High. Members of your class, individually or collectively, have enriched the lore of our school by your accomplishments. You have set a standard that any class of the future might well emulate. You are to be congratulated. We who are left at Hartford High sincerely hope your future will hold in store nothing but the most pleasant experiences and that you will carry over this class personality into your life’s work. We shall miss you. Hilton C. Holland Jlebication We dedicate this book to M. Park Osgood A wise and helpful teacher, A patient and generous advisor, A good friend to all.

Once more a Senior class has reached a certain climax in education. Once more a Senior class must say farewell to a school where it has spent so many happy years. Even though this time has come, we do not consider that we are severing all links which have held us together. Rather we consider this as the beginning of a further adventure—the adventure of life. We shall always associate ourselves with our alma mater wherever we go or whatever we become. We shall constantly strive to make it proud of us. Now we pause for a moment to look into what we hope will be a bright and prosperous future. We are confident and eager to sally forth and win recognition. Yet we hear from all sides that we are facing a hard age. An age where there is scarcity of work. We have in mind Shakespeare’s philosophy that “all the world's a stage” where each must play his part. Naturally there comes to our mind, “What is our part”? We are facing this gigantic problem of work scarcity but there is at least one way that will help us to overcome this. That way is by specialization. Yes, that is the answer, for specialization is the fundamental principle of the modern economic world. A vast increase in efficiency and in the consequent growth in wealth is based only upon specialization. What could a peasant or frontiersman know about stock breeding or the raising of crops when he had so many other occupations to pursue? How could he become an expert weaver if he wove only a sufficient quantity for his needs? When workers began to devote themselves to weaving, and little else, when farmers began to specialize in stock breeding, the way was open to a vast increase in productivity. Lack of specialization means a lack of efficient running production. “Subdivision,” says Professor Henry Clay, “results in making operations easier in themselves. The estimation of forces and sizes, called for by almost any craft, became instinctive by specialization. Delicate tasks come to be performed with accuracy, and the speed is increased.” It is this idea upon which our modern scheme of things is based. It is this idea upon which we should base our plans for the future, for to fit into this modern world we must accept the standards it has set, and conform to its demands. It is the person who specializes who gets the better positions, the higher rungs of the ladder, and who stays on top. We, therefore, who want to be a success will specialize. Specialization implies organization, especially large scale organization. It is fully as important for us to develop and capitalize our special aptitudes as it is for a country to cultivate its particular produce. A man who is a genius at civil engineering would be foolish if he tried to grow his own food, or build his own house, even if he were able to. Different types do certain jobs better. Individually and collectively it is man’s responsibility to recognize his type of work. One great evil, however, is brought by specialization. A complex and delicate machine, such as the modern economic system is, is easily thrown out of gear. A change in the taste of consumer may plunge a whole industry into depression. This is offset somewhat by the wide range of choice that is steadily opening to us. As incomes expand there is a correspondingly wider margin to spend on luxuries. In bringing this problem to the fore as I have done, I have naturally had in mind the particular stumbling blocks in the paths of us, the Seniors. It is natural that we think mostly at this time of ourselves and of the special problems we face. Yet we find time here to think of those who have helped us to find our way this far, who have given us every aid in all our difficulties. I speak now of the members of the school board, who have so wisely guided our measures of the teachers of Hartford High, who have done their part so very well, giving their best to us of our parents who found no trial too hard, and who gave so much that we might arrive at this great moment of our lives. We also turn to those who are to succeed us and who are to find problems to face, even as we are now facing ours. I speak of the Junior class. Will the Junior President please step forward. Mr. President, your class now takes over the duties we leave behind us. With this robe we invest you with a symbol of scholarship, loyalty, and dignity. Wear this robe with the consciousness of the high rank it brings you. Always be mindful of the duties and obligations it places upon you. Wear it with a pride that comes from knowing you have earned it and always carry the sense of responsibility it brings you. W itli the passing of the Senior key to the Junior class comes the realization of the finality of our days here. With this key go standards of loyalty and faithfulness which we Seniors have striven to uphold. It is our wish that you maintain these high standards as we have done our best to do. We, the Class of '38, express our best wishes for the fulfillment of all your desires. May all your undertakings be successful and may you always keep high the good name of Hartford. Classmates, a final word. Although this is probably the last time our group shall be present in its entirety, and though this parting brings many regrets, we can look back on many happy years. It is up to us now to go out and make for ourselves and for Hartford High, names it will be proud to claim, names that will live in the annals of its history. As someone once said, “Life is what we make it.” Our schoolboard, teachers, and parents have done all that they can. The rest is now up to us. We either scale the highest rungs of the ladder or we are trampled under. The future lies before us. Greet it with a smile. Makie Louise De Roche. Salutatory Address THE HOAI) WE TAKE The Road We Take! Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? It is hackneyed, but still applicable and still significant especially so to us in the twentieth century, when there are so many roads. The graduates problem is, which one? Robert Frost, one of our New England poets, expresses this theme in his poem, “The Road Not Taken.” “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same. And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I----- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.” Which road to take or which not to take does make “all the difference.” As we look before us tonight we see many highways and byways branching off. Some are rough and a dark cloud hangs over them. There is a signpost on each, but it is blurred and indefinite. One may read SUCCESS (perhaps in twenty years) or another FAILURE, or that one, DEATH! Which is for me, Which for my classmates? Oliver Wendell Holmes compares us to young colts entering a race—the race of life with the “winning post a slab of white or gray.” Our parents will be watching the race with tear dimmed eyes for they know what lies before us. Each has vowed to give his son or his daughter a better start than he had. Each has tried to direct his boy toward that coveted road which leads to SUCCESS. As they see us tonight about to begin the race they, like us, begin to doubt whether our shoulders are broad enough and our limbs strong enough to carry the burdens we must carry. There are, however, certain principles, that, if followed, can make our respective roads easier and more enjoyable. These notable words of Ralph Waldo Emerson come to mind, “There is no end in nature, but every end is a beginning; . . . there is always another dawn risen in mid-noon, and under every deep a lower deep.” The failure of modern youth to recognize the possibility of a “lower deep” is one of the causes of the economic and social unrest of this twentieth century. Young people who have not had the best of fortune have developed a feeling of defeat, an attitude of despair. They think that there are no more worlds to conquer. 1 hey believe that everything has been discovered that there is to discover. 1 hey know that they are a defeated generation defeatism at its worst. Emerson’s philosophy is still true. The chance of discovering new things is as boundless as the universe itself. Nobody has gone to Mars yet. No one has penetrated the deepest waters in the ocean yet. Nor has any one dug his way to China yet. If anyone says there is nothing left in the world let him build a rocket ship and journey to the moon. We haven’t beaten the cow yet and there’s plenty to be learned. It would be superfluous to discuss the need for cures of infantile paralysis, diabetes, tuberculosis, cancer, and other dread diseases. Nor does one need to mention that crime presents one of our biggest problems. It would be utter foolishness to say that air travel does not need some doctoring up. There are many ways, indeed, which lead to success and a happier life. 1 he attitude with which we face tomorrow means much if we wish to succeed. It makes a difference whether we take defeat with a smile or a frown or whether we have due faith in our ability. Sir Thomas Browne states that “Every man truly lives, so long as he acts his nature, or in some way makes good the faculties of himself.” He should, in other words, resolve to put his own special abilities to some good use. History is but a record of glorious people, of great men and great women, who have made “good the faculties of themselves.” There is Madame Curie who, in spite of defeat and despair, did much toward the cure of cancer with radium. '1 here is Admiral Byrd, probably the greatest modern explorer, who has lived up to his high ideals and who has discovered new worlds in a world already thought to be thoroughly explored. They, like many other lesser mortals, may have had their moments when they turned wistfully to thoughts of the road not taken. But at least they have had the satisfaction of knowing that the way they chose was worth all the struggle and sacrifice, the heart ache and the heart-break that the road of life so often requires for those who would truly succeed. Lowell describes the ascent of the path that leads to ampler fates in his tribute to Abraham Lincoln. “And every turf the fierce foot clings to, bleeds.” 1 here are many roads that lead to ignoble ends. Not all have fame and wealth awaiting the traveler. We shall find, however, that if we keep it a friendly road and that if we persevere in aims that are good, happiness and success should await us at the end of the way. Which road shall be yours, classmates? Which shall be mine? Coi.i-.amek Martin Abbott The Staff of the Year Book of The Class of 1938 John Philip Goss . Charles Wallace Snow Raymond Lahah .

It all began in September. 1934, when we, a large group of eighty-one little Freshmen, all confused and all uncertain, gallantly forged our way into Hartford High School, to drink therefrom, the Well of Knowledge dry. Even then we were grateful to those who had sent us so gaily on our way that previous June, for Miss Reagan, Mr. Domey, Mr. Farnham, Mr. Phelps, and their many kind assistants had expended much time and energy in behalf of that Freshmen class to be. Many thanks are also due to the class of ’35 for that gay Freshmen Reception which put us at so much ease, almost on Senior footing, for an evening, at least. Nor should we forget to pay fitting tribute to those Freshmen officers, Everett Whitney, president; Roger Renault, vice president; Mayme Riley, secretary; and Jane Bixby, treasurer, for their loyalty and invaluable service to us during those “dangerous days.” It required someone like President Whitney to keep us from stampeding in search of new objects of interest, new thrills, new jokes to play, or from wearying upper-classmen with questions, such as, “Where’s room 10?” “What time does this period end?” or “When do we eat?” But after all, it is not the Freshmen who ask the questions; it’s the teachers! It is here that we should pause to consider those who aided us through the problems of that first year. They were: Mr. Parker, principal; Mr. ()sgood, sub-master; Miss Kingsbury, head of the business department; Miss Oakes, of the English division; Miss Young, teacher of French, mathematics and science; Miss Thurston, head of the home economics department ; Mr. Allen, instructor of French and history, and director of music; Mr. Saunders, the manual training teacher; Mr. Holland, the new history, science, and biology teacher, and athletic coach; Mr. Smith. Latin and English teacher; and Miss Jensen, of the business department. The road that might have been so rough was made smooth, from the very start, by them. It was not long after our entrance to the high school that we made an effort to show at least a little ability in contributions to “The Smudge,” which was also new that Freshmen year. Several soon showed promise as beginners in athletics and, in short, everyone endeavored to cooperate in all events open to Freshmen for the betterment of the school. In the late fall the annual Stunt Night program gave us an opportunity to show our dramatic talent, which we found, much to our embarrassment, to be somewhat limited. Nevertheless, we did our “Freshie” best to add to the foolish fun of the evening, and were not much disappointed when our modern songs received no prize. The months rolled by quickly, with much work and much play on the part of the “young ones.” Before we knew it, in fact, the year had passed, as all Freshmen years do, gradually transforming the giggling girls and shy boys into the serious and oft unsmiling grown-ups of 1938. It is always sad to see them go, those Freshmen days, for they take with them in their passing a something that never returns The Sophomore Year When we returned the next September, after our pleasant vacation, we all agreed that it was good to be back! Good to be with schoolmates again! Good to resume our work and play where we had left it in June! With definite enthusiasm we accepted our responsibilities as worthy Sophomores. We would make this, we told ourselves, a year of hard work, with enough fun, of course, to keep us contented and happy. There were several changes to which we had to adjust ourselves. We began to be more conscious of differences in studies. We talked more definitely about being Commercials or Scientific! . We also found that we were to encounter new teachers, some of them not new to the school, but new to us. In place of Miss Thurston, the home economics teacher, was Miss Ainsboro, and later in the year Miss Kelleher succeeded Miss Jensen in the business department. Nor were all of our classmates back to school. Those who did not return were Ruperta Trottier, Arlene Driscoll, Marie Couture, Ula Miller, and Madeline Brooks. We were sorry to have them leave, for they were promising pupils. The newcomers consisted of Raymond Lahar, who came to us from Newport, Vermont, and Madeline Moore from Quechee, both of whom we were pleased to welcome. The enrollment for the class now totaled seventy pupils. Class officers were chosen in September, careful consideration being taken to elect those best fitted for their positions. Raymond Lahar was elected chief director. Everett Whitney became the vice president; Madeline Moore, secretary; and Patsy Izzo, treasurer. These were the competent officers who guided us through the Sophomore year. With the passing of a few weeks, the problem of a Stunt Night program again confronted us. We wanted first prize and we wanted it enough to work hard for it. (()ur Freshmen eclipse still lingered in our minds.) We got to work! Some unknown genius suggested a comedy act with the famous Dionne quintuplets as models, and the suggestion became a definite plan. Stunt Night found the Sophomores presenting an hysterical duplicate of “a day with the quints,” bottles and everything! In addition to this, an alphabetic advice line-up was given for the benefit of stumbling Freshmen, with the hope that they might, successfully or otherwise, follow it. The judges were kind and awarded us a prize. We were fast becoming, it was apparent, an important part of the entertainment life of the school. Day after day, rain or shine, would find John and Robert Goss dragging enormous cellos or over-grown violins through the main entrance of the building and into the small assembly hall. Here, with Robert Logan’s and Collamer Abbott’s violins, and Dorine Fortier’s trumpet, the boys left their unquestioning instruments for a quiet snooze, in preparation for the strenuous rehearsal to come later in the day. John Dutton became widely known for his flying fingers, and Virginia Renehen and Dorothy Swanson for their delightful harmonizing. Carl Regione and Mayme Riley already showed signs of athletic prowess, promising much for the class. But time does not stand still, even for Sophomores, nor did it for us. Before we knew it, warm spring days had come. We heard Juniors talking of the approaching Junior Prom, while Senior faces were already lined with care. Too young to understand all this, we went on as before. Foolish in our wisdom, we thought, “What wouldn’t we do as upper classmen, and what wouldn’t we be as Juniors!” The Junior Year In September, 1936, we took our place again, this time as the Junior class. The position of principal, which Mr. Parker had filled so ably for nine years, was-now occupied by Mr. Hilton Holland, who had previously been our popular coach, and Mr. Freitas was put in charge of the athletic teams. Miss Winn was the new Latin and English teacher, and Miss Leach had joined the Home Economics depart ment. As before, the class membership was not the same as that of the previous year. We felt the loss of such classmates as Rachel Ricker, Irene Chabot, Wanda Rogenski, Irving Berry, Nathaniel Perry, and Rita Sanborn. We were, however, happy to welcome pupils from the Quechee Junior High School, among whom were: Helen Cole, Avis Leavitt, William Crosby, Robert Luce, and Daniel Brockway. Marie DeRoehe also came to us from the Danielson High School in Connecticut. Again it was time to consider seriously the question of class officers. With Raymond Lahar again president; Harold Jones, vice president; Madeline Moore, secretary; and Patsy Izzo, treasurer, the last half of our journey was begun. This year should bring the development of the class socially. Our financial reserve should reach a point sufficient to aid us in our last year. Yes, this was to be a grand year-—the best thus far. And it surely was! Juniors proceeded to bring home two prizes in the Annual Watson Prize Speaking Contest, first prize going to Charles Snow and second to Marie DeRoehe. Other classmates to appear were: Lois Jones. Gladys Couter-marsh, John Goss, Patsy Izzo, and Everett Whitney, who were, we thought, justly deserving of the liigh praise which Mr. Watson, the sponsor, accorded them. It was in the yearly Fidac Essay Contest, sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary, that Collamer Abbott brought us further victory in the form of second prize. Mayme Riley again did her bit by claiming the title of Most Valuable Player in basketball, an honor bestowed on her at the close of the Girls’ Tournament in the early spring. The Rotary club, to show its appreciation of the good work of the girls’ basketball team, sponsored a sight-seeing trip to Boston. Included in this party were Josephine Napolitano and Phyllis Beattie, two of our most popular players, who returned, wise and solemn, after visiting many places of historical fame. It was after our successful Junior Prom that we acquired the name of “the millionaires,” for the Prom proved to be one of the most successful events of the season. “Music arose with its voluptuous swell Soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake again, And all was merry as a wedding bell.” So it was! The auditorium, gayly attired in bright roses of our own making, resounded every chord of gay music by Doug Newton’s Orchestra, and carefree Hartfordians, young and old, mingled in the festive scene. The evening of graduation found us awed and impressed, as we slowly followed the Seniors down the aisle, Juniors together for the last time. Just one more year, and we would take their plaees. In the meantime, however, there was to be another June, another parting, another vacation. The Senior Yeah September, 1937, found sixty-six Seniors back at Hartford High School. There was only one change in the faculty this year, Miss VanDeusen returning after an absence of three years, in place of Miss Winn, now teaching at Thetford. Even in this last year the personnel of our group underwent many changes. There were three new Seniors among us, Jeanne Hawick, Amy Lang, and Edmund Freitas, who have added greatly to our success. Gladys Holbritter, Gwendolyn Smith, and Roger Renault, however, had left the fold. For the last time we chose class officers. With real foresight we elected John Goss president, and much should be said in praise of him. It was John who made plans in September for the Senior activities of the year. It was John who straightened out difficulties of every sort when we were at a loss as to which way to turn. It was John, in other words, who pulled the strings! Others cn our governing board were: vice president, Marie DeRoche; secretary, Louisa Kontos; and treasurer, Edmund Freitas. William Crosby was given the responsible position of attorney, and Everett Whitney became our sergeant-at-arms. For the Stunt Night program,.we chose a double mock wedding, entirely reversing the usual matrimonial scheme. The characters were: Robert Goss and Everett Whitney, the blushing brides; and Helen Cole and Gertrude Hathorn, the nervous bridegrooms. The charming little flower girls, Carl Regione and Angelo Seelza, strewed their paper flowers along the biidal path, as Collamer Abbott jauntily bore the ring (before lie swallowed it!). Preceding the brides, marched the somewhat more conventional bridesmaids, Jane Bixby, and Evelyn Adams. There was a tremendous hush as the procession reached the altar, where the Reverend Pasquale Izzo stood- waiting. This year we received second prize. In December, Hartford High School entered the One-Act Play Festival at Hanover, with the play, “Beyond the Alps Lies Italy,’’ starring Jeanne Hawick and William Crosby. Other characters were portrayed by Christine Robinson, Pauline Eske, Marie DcRoche, Helen Cole, Avis Leavitt. Gladys CYutermarsh, Patsy I zzo, and John Goss. On the whole, the Seniors have been very well represented in sports. Edmund Freitas, or “Benny,” walked off with the title of All State Quarterback and is also captain of the All State Team. In March, the Garboes and Gables, Seniors who had taken | art in dramatics and prize speaking contests, formed the first organized dramatic club of the school in recent years. The charter members consisted of Christine Robinson, Jeanne Hawick, Avis Leavitt, Helen Cole, Pauline Eske, Marie DeRochc, Gladys Couter-marsh, Everett Whitney, Charles Snow, Patsy Izzo, John Goss, and William Crosby, with Miss (lakes and Mr. )sgood as advisers. Marie DeRoehe was selected as president of the society; William Crosby, vice president; Gladys Coutermarsh, secretary; and Everett Whitney, treasurer. Junior members were admitted after Prize Speaking, in April, and members of the Senior Play cast early in June. The Prize Speaking Contest again showed winners in our class. Arline Parker and Leo Sawyer won first prizes, and Robert Goss second place. Other classmates to compete were Mayme Riley, Dorothy Swanson, Kathleen Hazen, and Stewart Smith. The name of Marie DeRoehe again appears in our history, for it was she who received first prize at the State Prize Speaking Contest in Rutland, and who ably represented us at Burlington. One of our latest events, the Senior play, “The Nut Farm,” which was presented in April, gave conclusive proof, we thought, of the real talent in the class. It also added another layer to the fund of “the millionaires.” We had known certain members to be really good, but Pauline Eske, Arline Parker, Christine Robinson, Madeline Moore, Charles Snow, Harold Jones, Kenneth Byron, John Goss, Robert Goss, and Raymond Lahar went far beyond our expectations. Raymond Lahar also deserves special mention for winning first prize in the National Defense Essay Contest, sponsored by the Daughters of the American Revolution, and later first prize in the state. The second prize in the Fidac Essay Contest was also Mr. Lahar’s. The last few weeks have been busy ones. College catalogues have all been examined closely; normal schools, colleges, and hospitals have been duly visited, for the last few weeks of school never fail to bring Seniors face to face with that mysterious something which we call the future. So ends the history of the class of ’38. It has been a happy one because of the many good friends who have made numerous advantages possible for us. No sacrifice has been too great for our loving parents. Great has been their labor; great has been our reward. Gladys Coitf.rmarsh President’s Address SENIORS ALL: This is in all probability the last occasion at which wo, the Class of 1938, will be present in our full number. We have worked four years to attain many goals, one of which is this our last one. Graduation. We have to a degree successfully negotiated the rough road which leads to it, and now we must look ahead to the even rougher road that we must travel to reach our ultimate aim Success. Tomorrow we turn our steps in different directions, each with his own ideal in view. Some of us will turn to colleges for higher education; others of us will turn to business enterprises. Whatever our course may be “Let us be the best of whatever we are.” In the past four years we have spent perhaps what we shall later term the happiest time of our lives. We have many people to thank for this, our great opportunity. Our school board, our teachers, and most of all our parents have given of their time, their energy, and their money, that we might complete our education at Hartford High School. For what we have already done and for whatever we may do in the future, we should indeed thank these, our friends and our parents. As Abraham Lincoln once said, “What I am now or whatever I hope to he I owe to my mother.” Indeed tonight our cup is overflowing. John Philip Goss.

Rainbow is the bright spot in the senior class.

Jane’s feet are as bright and twinkling as her eyes, she sure whirls off the jazz at Island Park. Does “Itchy” dance? There’s a life’s job for you Jane. Underneath all of this raillery we honestly wish Jane the l est of luck and happiness. GLORIA ELAINE BLOOD Glory Genera We've all wondered why Glory has been so quiet and unobtrusive. She is very shy and reserved, but then isn’t there a saying somewhere that still waters always run deep? Glory has a reason for keeping to herself.

We all know Helen for her apparent ability to ■date'’ the boys. She never lacks male escorts. But this doesn’t seem to interfere with her studies, for Helen is always right there with a good answer. Our Helen hailed from Oueehec Tech and we have to admit it sure produces some fine brains. We might add also that Helen is a farmerette but we doubt if Helen stays at home long enough so that she could tell a horse from a car, as automobiles are more to Helen’s purpose than the proverbial old mare.” Keep up the good work Helen, popularity sure pays when spiced with sufficient knowledge. HENRY RAYMOND COOK Cookie Scientific Freshman Reception 4; Senior Play Usher 4 ; Junior Prom Com. 3. Silence is more eloquent than words.” Henry would have us believe that he is the embodiement of knowledge. However, it seems that the embodiement of knowledge is as talkative as the Egyptian Sphinx. There are very few of us who know anything of the hidden life of Cookie. Cookie is a reserved old boy, very popular with his selected group. However, we have found that Cookie never ventures into the open after 7 P. M. They say Macbeth and the three witches haunt him.

Industrial Arts Club I; Football 4; Dramatic Club Vice-Pres. 4; Class Attorney 4; Beyond The Alps Lies Italy 4. Hear me, for I will speak.” —Shakespeare. Bing is undoubtedly piqued at the attention we did not give to his admonitions during class meetings. Bing is class attorney and strives to keen us within the bounds of parliamentary law. But it is just as difficult for Bing to keep us within those bounds as it is for him to keep himself within the bounds of credible statements when speaking of his personal experience in the Yellowstone National Park. On the whole, however. Bing is an ideal friend and one whom it would do to ride up the river with as the westerners say.

Our Jeanette MacDonald or at least that’s what Marie would have us think. Jolly, good-natured, fun-loving Mimi, trilled her way through her fourth year.

By saying that Marie trilled her way through, we do not mean that she didn’t study, for Marie has an especially brilliant mind and in addition to all oi this, she still found time for numerous social activities.

With her fame as a basketball player and her ability to use her agile limbs to the best advantage on the dance floor, it's no wonder that Polly’s evenings aren’t dull.

HAROLD HUTCHINSON GARCIA Scientific Senior Play Comm. 4. Harold is an exponent of Daniel Boone and a mean man on the trigger (from his own telling). We always know when deer season is open because Harold is never in school. Harold has been very meek and quiet this year since he lost his pal Chase to West Lebanon.

My black man-servant, Abner, answered the knock and announced the visitor by card not by name. (He claimed that pronunciation of the bizarre appelative was impossible). Glancing at the card, 1 perceived the beloved cognomen of my old schoolboy crony, Monsieur Jean Grzeszczak. I hadn’t heard from him or of him in years and so, of course, I immediately hurried out to see him. “Gee, Johnny, you’re a sight for sore eyes”! And he certainly was. There was Johnny spic and span, fat and forty, just starting to be a little bald. It was his waistline that caught my eye; you could sec that his epicurean tastes had finally got the best of him. “Where in the dickens have you been? Why, I haven’t seen or heard of you since that night of all nights back in H. H. S. when they handed over those two for a nickel imitation calfskin pardons from our four year term. What have you been doing with yourself”? “You read the daily paper and you mean to tell me that you haven't heard of me? Why I'm the guy that broke the bank of Monte Carlo, and with the dough that I cleaned up I’m going to tour the world. Say how’d you like to go along as a travelling companion? You’re the first person that popped into my head as one who wouldn’t bore me with brains. Think it over. “By the way, you may like to know about a few of the old grads that I've met on my tours. Well, on my way home from Monte Carlo, I passed through Paris, you know that little city where the men are rough and ready and the women wear pajamas? It was late at night just the time to drop into the ‘Short-Skirt Casino’. Up comes the manager just as cocky as a bull terrier and asked me where I wanted to sit. I knew in a minute that he was someone I knew. I wracked my brain while he was showing me to my seat. Then came the dawn. It was none other than E. Paul Whitney, and was he changed! No longer the perfect 36 of football field, he was as second only to Man Mountain Dean. His dark hair, now gray, had lost its curl, and his necktie—W hy I 11 bet that necktie had been through three world wars or the equivalent of three class meetings. You know, those about money, telegrams and everything? Well, Whit offered me his best seat and told me to watch the floor show and see what I could see. Right off the bat who should appear on the stage but those two beautiful “Sisters of Swing’, Kathleen Hazen and Pauline Kske and. as one of our friends used to express it, could they swing it. Over in the corner I could discern their mainstay and manager, who couldn't even now, keep away from the girls-Freddie Gobeille, the dark and curly-haired boy of West Lebanon renown. Yes, the girls had an act in which they battled the ever misused musical tones all over the lot. “Well,” John concluded, “to get back to the trip. What do you say? It s on the house. I’ll pay your way.” Was I stunned. Would I go? You bet your life I'd go. Two weeks later I closed up my Louis XVI mansion, (Sears Roebuck Model to you), and started on the most memorable trip of my hitherto placid, uneventful life. 1 hus does life in a moment as it were, save us from our ruts. We reached New York at “cock’s crow. ’ W hy. in the old days a trip to Quechee seemed much longer, for you see this trip was made in my convertible air sedan. Being hungry, we headed on our arrival for a likely eating place of good and high-priced food for Johqny was still paying the bills. Imagine my amazement to have the suave and sleek manager of the W aldorf Astoria, Joseph Orizzonto, greet me at the desk with the same gentle smile of yore. I was surprised even more when he introduced me to two of his star boarders (on credit), Robert Mock and Owen Zwicker, two stubborn old bachelors content in their stubborness. Bob said that he had heard that Robert Luce and Maurice Crowell had completed a successful business trip to bleak and desolate Siberia, and, liking the climate, had settled down to a quiet life, Robert selling streamlined red Flannels to the Russians, and Maurice engaged in truck-gardening and the exportation of a choice variety of icicles. We left the Waldorf after a late breakfast (on the cuff), and boarded the southbound rocket plane. 1 immediately fell asleep to awake just as we glided swiftly and silently into the monstrous airport at Washington, D. C., that city that we longed to see in 1938 when such adventures were merely dreams. As I stepped off the plane, I bumped into what seemed to be a somewhat inebriated gentleman dragging a very bulky and monstrous suitcase. This suitcase, I later found, however, was the cause of his apparent tipsiness. He was bespectacled and ruddy. He glared at me and was about to snap out some irate remark when I broke in, “Bud Abbott! What a small world. Here there are 197 million square miles of earth and I bump into you at a Washington airport! What are you doing down here?” “Me? Oh I’m just banging around. You see I’m a carpenter. I’m hired by that blowhard brute of a brother of yours to make boxes to keep his golf pro’s shoes in. Boy it’s a job, I tell you. Your brother John has acquired a size 14 hoof since he left school. Walking daily to Wilder probably helped to do it.” “Yeah, I’ve heard about that hoof. Well, Bud, I’m glad to see you, but I’ve got to be going because, don’t faint, John Grzeszczak and I are leaving for Europe at twelve. By the way, they tell me that we’re sailing on the S. S. Hartford Special and that Carl Regione is the captain ably aided and inspired as of old, by his old, red flame, Phyllis Beattie. They also tell me that Catherine DePalo, that famous Parisian style chef is the cook on the Hartford. I’ve been saving my appetite all day to get a mouthful of the luscious tidbits.” With a promise to write to Bud from Europe, I got into a sport coupe air taxi and sped to the boat. We sailed at midnight. Little wonder that I was so very much excited, this was my first real vacation since H. H. S. I decided to celebrate in style. So with no thoughts of turning in, I took the subway from my cabin and set the brake for the dine and dance hall. There I got the best ringside seat to the swellest bit of “truckin’ ” in years. Dot Swanson and Bromo Scelza, the fastest swinging couple on board, dancing to the ritzy band of Kenneth Harlow, master of the hot-potato clarinet, and the greatest tenor since Caruso, Charley Snow, was soon singing his famed duet with “Mimi” DeRoche, the big howl of the air waves. The band was accompanied by John Dutton, the Peter Pan, of our Class, whose fingers ran so fast over the ivories that he often had collisions with his shadow on the way back. I soon tired of this noble entertainment, however, and thought I’d look the working parts of the ship over. I first visited the bridge, where I perceived, thick as ever, Bill Crosby, our class taxi who couldn’t refrain from carrying people around, and Lawrence Spencer, first mate, who could now use his voice to its best advantage, as he did at times, venting his excerpts from the dictionary on the “scum of a landlubber.” Well, I soon found out that I wasn’t needed there and it was nearly 4 A. M. I went off to bed to dream of luscious fruit cakes, pretty girls, and old friends. As the trip to Europe was a scant one day passage on these new fast liners, we reached Malaix, France, the next day. On the wharf was an upholstered divan upon which was seated the two most ambitious members of our graduating class, Harold Garcia and Stewart Smith. They were both completely engrossed in sitting quietly smoking and dealing in the philosophy of fishing. Malaix was just the starting point of our, trip and we were presently enroute for the winter sports paradise, St. Moritz, in Switzerland. At the swanky sports- man’s club where we stayed, whom did I see helping a petite Freneh girl into a diminutive pair of skates, hut John Sokoloski, our tall, handsome, eaptivating senior, second only to the immortal Robert Taylor. Nor was this all, for in the lobby one of the guides was booking a group for an all-day hike through the mountains. It was our class spark, Henry Cook, surrounded by a bevy of impulsive quest weary females. In order to contact him, I booked for the trip. I asked him what he was doing away off in the mountains, a guide to charming feminity. He said that he was here to forget a certain Senior subject (didn’t say which one) and then he walked sadly off staring straight ahead in his lonely way exactly as he used to in the old days of Hartford. On he took us up and up into the mountains until we reached the very top. There perched on the summit was a tiny hut, an antediluvian makeshift of a shanty. Taking me aside, Henry showed me a sight that only he had ever seen. There within the meager walls “far from the madding crowd’s ignoble strife” sat an old, bald man buried in his mystic tomes (books to you). “Who is he?” 1 asked. “Shh,” Henry shushed, “Don’t disturb him. It’s poor Benny. Benny Freitas you remember, the man with tin alluring smile. You see he got hit in some queer way over the head it seems, with a baseball bat wielded by what he has since termed his Amazonian. He continually thinks that he is Einstein and all the time that he has been here the only words that he has said are, “Bucky boy, bucky boy.” Let’s go now before he wakes from his trance.” With “bucky boy” ringing in our ears we hurried down the mountain. At the clubhouse were many visitors, most of them grouped in the commodious lobby. The main attraction of the day seemed to be a duo of tap dancers, Gertrude Lambert and Dorine Fortier, our Senior tap dancers, still going strong. After their program was over, I went out and introduced myself and asked them what they knew about the old “Bunch.” Arline Parker, they said, was a famous dress designer for the Louisa Kontos Department Store, the biggest and most prosperous store in White River. But alas, they were the only ones that they had heard about and so I bade them “Bon soir!” and went to bed. The next day we jumped to Rome where I visited the museums. There, among the other relics whom should I perceive but good old Christine Robinson looking as buxom as ever, and travelling with a tall gent, rather farmy. 1 didn’t stop to meet her, but left the two in order to avoid another quarrel with my “ma.” Down by the docks I saw a swell-looking and swell-smelling fish market and as 1 was looking about for a couple of poor fish, I went in. There, indeed, my search ended for sitting on a double stool in the front of the store were two good old go-getters Patsy Izzo and Louis Schettino, pert as ever, waiting for their next customer with the air of two lions looking for their next meal. 1 asked them what they knew about the old class. Pat said that Armand Guarino was the President of Dartmouth College and that Richard Jorgenson was playing big league Baseball with Red Jones for the White River Dirty Sox. Mary Martello, Mary Romano, and Josephine Xapolitano, the boys said, were sole owners of the most beautiful old ladies’ home in New York City. That started Pat and Louis off on the treatment of dumb animals, and I left them conversing with their usual good common sense and wisdom on who the next president would be. We left for Egypt the next day, on the famous record breaking rocket plane of the World Air Lines, and after a swift flight, we landed in Cairo. Of course I had to see tin great pyramids and tin Sphinx so after refreshing ourselves at our new abodes, we departed immediately on a camel to see the glories of “Egyptia.” The first thing that struck me as being queer about the Sphinx was the nose. It had a great similarity to a famed proboscis in our Senior Class, the owner of which you could probably recall without much difficulty. Careful scrutiny also revealed on the pyramid a strange man. I asked a sightseer who it was ami what he was doing. The reply was, “that is Romeo Baribeau. It seems according to Romeo’s own account, that when Romeo knew that the Sphinx had no one to look after it, he decided to give the quiet old chap a bath, and some real attention. The results were satisfying so that now Romeo now proudly boasts that he has washed its face daily ever since that first day in 1950. Strange to relate, around the base of the great Sphinx were many weird presentations. There were rope climbers where there wasn’t any rope and basket disappearances when there wasn’t any baskets. My interest was aroused. There was Mayme Riley, positive and direct as ever, charming honest to goodness, a truly mean looking reptile. We soon tired of Egypt and we moved on to Bombay, in the land of the mysticism. While travelling down one of the dark and dusty, narrow streets 1 bumped into what was supposedly an Indian fakir. In doing so I knocked off his turban. Beneath the turban what should meet my eye but a shock of flame red hair. “Leo A. Sawyer! Fancy meeting you here and in this get up! What in the dickens are you doing in that outfit?” “I’m inciting the natives,” says Leo. “You see I’m going to start a rebellion and make my fortune. Business was awful back home so I came down here to drum up trade. You see, I’m the owner of the Sawyer Popgun Manufacturing Co.” “Well, come on,” I said, “we’ll go and eat and while we’re eating you can tell me about some of the others.” We slipped into a cupboard of a cubbyhole restaurant and sat down to eat and better still, to talk. While we were waiting for our meal, surrounded by dark skinned natives, mysterious, veiled women, and haunted by the hypnotic strain of Indian music, Leo began telling about the ‘bunch’. “Well, first of all, Madeline Moore, “said Leo,” is a sailboat racer. Yes, sir! A sailboat racer, she has the fastest sailboat there is. She simply sits at the wheel and talks and she talks so fast that the wind created by her tongue propels her through the water at the rate of sixty miles against the wind. Some little lady, our Madeline.” “As to Alfred Wilhelmsen,” Leo said. Ho is a salesman. He sells brushless toothbrushes and painless rat killers at amazingly low retail prices. “I stopped him from going on telling him that I had enough shocks in one meal and that didn’t apply to the food. So I left Leo, with the bill, and hurried back to take the plane to Australia. When we reached Australia my first thought was to get a glimpse of the kangaroos, and visit one of the real animal reservations. Imagine my humiliation when I espied the very moment that I reached my destination, Ken Byron trying to bum a ride from one of the kangaroos and having a tough time getting his ride. But shock o. II was still ahead. Over to the left was Evelyn Adams making eyes at a very prosperous looking gentleman, who had the air of one who thought the world was nothing but a beastly bore. The gentleman I saw, was Chauney Smardon, who had nothing else to do but play ping pong with the kangaroos that were just as much bored with the world as Chauney was. Boredom, I guess, was infectious for I, too, became bored with Australia. China being the next stop, we hopped aboard the China Clipper. In Shanghai, my still boyish sense of humor was greatly amused by the weird pigtails that every Chinese wore. Curiosity getting the best of me, I stopped one of the Chinese and asked him where he got his haircut. He said, “Me gettee et from the (Cole) Dressey Hair Shoppee on Jones Street.” He gave me directions and I went to the shop. There, seated at the manager’s desk was Lois Jones, and, doing a Chinaman’s hair at the back of the room, was Helen Cole. Was I mystified! There were too many females loose around there for me. Soon I made myself known to the girls and proceeded to fade out of the fairer sex’s presence. After visiting many fascinating places in old China, we headed back towards home, to spend the rest of our year’s vacation in looking over the really interesting things in the good old U. S. A. En route home somebody broke into my baggage and 1 resolved to take the matter to the manager of the steamship line and demand compensation. Soon after we landed, I was ushered with great pomp into his office and there standing glaring at me as though he were about to put me out, was Mr. Robert Logan, Esq. His glare turned to a smile. “How are you Bob?” I told him about myself and why I was there and he, the generous one, refunded the money gladly. Then I asked him, as I had all the others, what he knew of our old Senior Class. He looked at me as if I were mad, “Where have you been the past six months?” “Why, I’ve been abroad.” “Oh, that explains it. Well, I’ll tell you. Ray Lahar ran for President on the Bolshevist ballot. Not only did he run but he won the Presidency. Gladys ('outer-march is his manager and very private secretary. Some success for H. H. S. But what are you doing in California if you’re on a round the world trip?” “I’m just passing through here on the way home. I’m glad I checked up on that theft and I’m glad to have seen you. Thanks a lot. So long.” The next lure was Hollywood, the golden city of the west, where we attended premier performances of the “Wack Sisters” starring Virginia Renehan and Jane Bixby and were they wacky!! Why, they had the king of Abyssinnia playing the Ethiopian War Dance with a kettle drum on the kitchen floor. And laugh? Why they had me laughing so much that my heart was playing tag with my larynx. In fact, I had to get out of there or I’d split a suspender. Hollywood was too much for me. We were now ready for home but there was to be one stop more that we hadn’t planned on. We ran out of gasoline in a Kansas Cyclone. Luckily for us we were near a farmhouse. When I reached the door of the house against the terrible force of the cyclone and was about to knock, a small cyclone in itself issued forth from the door followed by pots and pans and other cooking utensils. It was obvious that whoever was “throwing it” was bound to do a good job of spring housecleaning in her kitchen. Then who should appear behind the cyclone and take a last parting shot at what I now perceived was a man. but Gloria Blood cussin’ a blue streak after, “That low-lived skunk of a travelling salesman, trying to sell me a toothless set of false teeth.” I explained my errand and then asked Gloria how she was. She was “sicker than a hoss,” she said. She’d married, “a shiftless Texas settler who’ll get his leg broke if he don’t get home in about 5 minutes.” I concluded about that time that I had something to fix in our stranded car and left unceremoniously. We got the gas in about 5 minutes by ( arrier Pigeon C. O. D. and then drove on. At Nashville, Tenn. when I stopped to get a local paper, I saw blazed across tin headlines, “Daniel Brockway wanted for moonshining. A sub-heading stated that Elaine Gilman was believed to be an accomplice of the crime. In Newport, R. I. we stopped to look over the training station and there dolled up in gold stripes and braid, strutting down the avenue with Amy Lang on his arm, was Capt. Allen White of “Her Majesty’s Ship, Pinafore. I saw I wasn’t needed there and so I went on and looked over the training school. hile going through the sick bay I saw a red-haired girl weaving in among the patients. Gertrude Hathorn, trained nurse was caring for the seasick sailors, who sometimes deliberately managed to be sick I suspected just to see their nurse. I finished my tour of inspection by going through the boiler factory. Boy, did I get a headache out of that! As soon as I got out I went straight to a drugstore and bought one of Avis Leavitt’s pink headache pills. Was I relieved? I II say. Home and the Hawick Feed Bag, managed by gentle Jean Hawick, looked good to us wanderers as we neared the really last stop. As Samuel 1 epys would say, “home with a glad heart.” Just as it should be. Robert P. Goss Class Prophet. The Senior Play SENIOR PLAY Top row left to right: Harold Jones, Arline Parker. Raymond Lahar. Robert Ooaa. Christine Robinson. Lower row left to right: Madeline Moore, Charles Snow, John Goss. Kenneth Byron, Pauline Eske. On April 19, before a capacity audience, tlie Senior Revelers presented a three act comedy by John C. Brownell, “The Nut Farm.” Helen Bent (Arline Parker) has been struck with the movie bug. Into the picture steps a movie producer, Hamilton T. Howard (Raymond Lahar), who convinces Helen’s doubting family and her husband, Bob Bent (Harold Jones), that he should invest $30,000 in his wife’s moving picture career. Willie Barton (Robert Goss), Helen’s brother, who knows something of the moving picture business tries to show Bob the foolishness of such a venture. His advice goes for no avail. Then upon the scene appears J. Clarence Biddeford (Charles Snow) and Harold Van Horton (Kenneth Byron). In an uproarous scene, in which Biddeford has a violent attack of hay fever, the play, in which Helen is to appear, is read and acted. While waiting to see how the picture fares Willie falls in love with Agatha Sliscomb (Pauline Eske), the only and beautiful daughter of Ezra Sliscomb (John Goss). News then comes that the picture is a colossal failure and that the family is bankrupt. Mrs. Barton (Christine Robinson), however, somewhat saves the situation when she says she has the money to take them back to Newark. To add to the mess, Sliscomb breaks in with the news that Willie has kidnapped Agatha. His anger and anxiety is somewhat calmed when on the scene appears Biddeford who wishes to buy Bob’s share in the picture. Howard appears with a bigger offer for the picture and Biddeford is ejected forcibly. Just as Bob is about to sign Howard’s contract, Willie appears with the news that he has an offer of $80,000 for the picture. Thus the plot is thwarted and the family is again wealthy. Willie has married Agatha and everyone is happy. In the specialty acts Leo Sawyer, Benny Freitas, Patsy Izzo, and Kenneth Harlow presented their version of “The Man On The Flying Trapeze.” Patsy Izzo read “The Three Trees” and “Hey Tony.” Mayme Riley presented a Leacock Specialty and the Boy’s Glee Club sang a medley of popular tunes.

All meetings are conducted in utmost secrecy in the club room (in other words in the small assembly hall). Originally our membership consisted of thirteen charter members. These were students who had taken part in the one act play “Beyond The Alps Lies Italy” or had participated in Prize Speaking their Junior year. The officers chosen by the charter members were: Marie De Roche, president; William Crosby, vice-president; Gladys Coutermarsh, secretary; Everett Whitney, treasurer. Charter members of the club include: Marie DeRoche, William Crosby, Gladys Coutermarsh, Everett Whitney, Charles Snow, Helen Cole, John Goss, Avis Leavitt, Pauline Eske, Christine Robinson, Patsy Izzo, Jeanne Hawick, and Lois Jones. We admitted through initiation, the contestants in the Watson Prize Speaking and the cast of the Senior Play. These included: Kathleen Hazen, Harold Rising, Robert Stockwell, Robert Goss, Bernard Dwyer, Helen Coffin, Louisa Kontos, Lora Lyman, Leo Sawyer, Stewart Smith, Arline Parker, Dorothy Swanson, Susan Wright, Caroline Cameron, Jane Bixby, Raymond Lahar, Kenneth Byron, Harold Jones, Mayme Riley, Madeline Moore, Edmund Freitas, Kenneth Harlow, Virginia Renehan, Evelyn Adams and Gertrude Lambert. The purpose of the Hartford Masquers is to promote, through organization, dramatics in Hartford High School. Orchestra The orchestra, under the capable direction of Mr. Allen, made its first appearance of the year when it played for “H. M. S. Pinafore,” the music club’s first venture into the field of light opera. It provided music for the various school activities throughout the year prize speaking, Senior play, and graduation. The Senior members of the orchestra are Collamer Abbott and Robert Logan, violins; John and Robert Goss, violincellos; Kenneth Harlow, clarinet; Dorine Fortier, trumpet; Gertrude Lambert, drums; and John Dutton, piano. Of these Collamer Abbott, Robert Logan, and John Goss played in the All-State Orchestra at the Music Festival which was held in Burlington, April 29 and 30. Dorine Fortier and Kenneth Harlow played in the All-State Band. At the concert of individual orchestras, our Hartford orchestra played the Allegro from Mozart’s Symphony No. 12. Glee Club The Hartford High School Glee Club has had a very successful year. The glee club is by far the best that has represented the high school in several years. The first and one of our greatest achievements was the production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s operetta, “Her Majesty’s Ship Pinafore.” It was presented by the Hartford High Glee Club and Orchestra on December 17, 1937. It surely was a grand success both financially and from the experience obtained. As in previous years our Glee Club was invited to sing for the Rotarians, The American Legion Auxiliary, and the Hartford Women’s Club. The Glee Club also made a visit to West Hartford to present a program for the West Hartford Grange. At the annual Watson Prize Speaking Contest the Glee Club sang a number of selections. The Boy’s Individual Glee Club sang several numbers. At the Senior Play, “The Nut Farm,” part of the Glee Club presented several specialties. Our next very important achievement was the participation in the State Music Festival at Burlington, April 29 and 30. Thirty-four of our members sang in the All-State Chorus, an opportunity and occasion that they will long remember. The mixed Glee Club and Boy’s Glee Club also sang two selections at the festival. Senior members of the Glee Club included: Kenneth Byron, Charles Snow, Allen White, Frederick Gobeille, Angelo Scelza, Robert Goss, Alfred Wilhclmsen, Raymond Lahar, Dorothy Swanson, Virginia Renehan, Amy Lang, Robert Luce. Bug Club The “Bug Club” composed of the members of the boy’s biology class, have met several times at Hartford High School to study and discuss different subjects. So far they have dissected fish and frogs and have discussed the problem of living, and the existing problems of medicine. They also have seen a couple of films concerning these different problems. Mr. Holland has given a few talks to them about the dangers of complications of the things in life.

There are ten charter members from the Senior Latin class who are: Armand Guarino, Helen Cole, Collamer Abbott, John Goss, Philip Roberts, Louis Melisi, Helen Perdelwitz, James Donahue, Alta Carlisle, and Susan Wright. Three members of the Sophomore Latin class: Virginia Nap-olitano Romano Hathorn, and Virginia Close, were initiated into our club at the second meeting. Admission to the club can be attained only when a student maintains a high grade for two marking periods. The following officers were chosen by the charter members: Armand Guarino and Helen Cole, consuls, Philip Roberts, scriba; Louis Melisi, questor; and Collamer Abbott, nuntius. Our meetings are held at the school house twice a month, at which we have a business meeting followed by games and refreshments. 1 he purpose of the club is to increase our knowledge of Latin life and at the same time enjoy an evening of fun and pleasure. The club is contemplating the production of two Latin plays to be presented at assembly on May 27th. The Debating Club (’ •llitmi-r Abb itt. Alta Carlisle. Mis Edna Leach. Madeline Moore. Leon Famham. The Hartford Debating Club composed of Alta Carlisle, Philip Roberts, Leon Farnham. Arminie Wood, and Madeline Moore, with Miss Leach as coach, was organized in October 1937. At the first meeting Philip Roberts was elected President; Alta Carlisle, treasurer; and Madeline Moore, secretary. To open the season a short humorous debate, Resolved: “It is better to be a Big Frog in a Little Pond than a Little Frog in a Big Pond.” was given in assembly. A few students assisted as there were not enough in the club to fill tin parts. A busy debating season opened when Hartford met the Dartmouth Freshmen in a practice debate. The question was Resolved: “That the Several States Should Adopt a Unicameral System of Legislature.” Another practice debate was held with Bethel in which Bethel was victorious. Debates followed in this order: Randolph, Windsor, Dartmouth Frosh, Springfield, and Woodstock. Hartford won two debates from Randolph and Woodstock. A play “An Episode in tin- Life of Franklin” was broadcast from the stage in the High School Auditorium to the student body. This brought to a close a very interesting and educational season.

Hartford’s five, made up largely of seniors, won eleven out of seventeen scheduled games during the past season. This record enabled Hartford to be chosen to participate in the Southern Tournament at Rutland. Although the team lost to Mount St. Joseph in the first game of the tournament, the team made a very fine showing. This game was a good example of the fine teamwork in which the team excelled during the season. The seniors lost through graduation are: Carl Regione, Angelo Scelza, Richard Jorgensen, Joseph Orizzonto, Edmund Freitas, Raymond Lahar, and Patsy Izzo. The loss of Regione and Scelza will be felt deeply for they were the team’s high scorers. The loss of Jorgensen, Freitas, and Orizzonto will also be felt for they held down the guard berths and were outstanding. SEASON’S RESULTS West Lebanon H. H.

Under Coach Freitas’ able tutelage, the girls’ basketball team completed their most successful season in several years. The girls were undefeated during a season of fifteen games, thereby claiming the state title. The team loses but two players by graduation so prospects art bright for a good team next year. The team was composed of Helen Jorgensen, left forward, Patricia Mock, right forward. Mayme Riley, jump center, Norma Parrott, side center, Pauline Eske, right guard, Dorothy Mock, left guard, with Phyllis Beattie, Margaret Quinlan, Virginia Napolitano, Betty Bean, Josephine Napolitano, and Marion Miller as able substitutes. The girls success came from team work that will not be rivaled for some time. The scoring was evenly distributed among the three forwards, each was as dangerous a scorer as another. This made it practically impossible for the opposing guards to cover each potential scorer. Seniors graduating include Mayme Riley, Pauline Eske, Phyllis Beattie, and Josephine Napolitano.

It finished the season ranking among the topmost teams in this state. Much praise is due to Coach Freitas for the team’s success as well as to the hovs themselves. With what little material he had to work with, he put out a team that brought glory and pride to the school to add to their fine record m athletics of previous years. The season got under way on the nineteenth of September, when Hart ford journeyed to Springfield. Vermont, to play a strong Green and White With less than two weeks of practiee, the Blue and White put up a great fig before going down to defeat by a score of 19—0. The following Saturday. Bellows Falls’ Purple Raiders came to White River to play Hartford on its own field. Playing under conditions fit more for a bast-ball game rather than for football, both teams put up a great battle during; the course of the game. However, neither team was able to penetrate the others goal line and the game ended in a scoreless deadlock, 0 U. A week later the Blue and White journeyed up to Hanover to either “do or to die fighting.” With fine ball carrying and the boys working as a machine, Hartford emeVged out victorius to the tune of 25 0. As the score may indicate Hartford was much superior to their opponents and held the upper hand the entire game. At no time were the Hanover gndsters able to break through to tally a score. Incidentally, this was the first game that the Blue and W lute had won for Coach Freitas. The boys did not play the following week, but on Columbus Day, October 12, they entertained tho Red and White eleven from Lebanon on the local field. Playing against a rather strong team the Blue and White were held scoreless the first quarter. Coming back strong in the second period, they quickly scored a touchdown for the first score of the game. Lebanon came back in the third quarter to tie the score at 6—6. The score remained a tie until late in the last quarter, when they started from midfield with a series of passes and scored the winning touchdown. The point after the touchdown was converted and the game ended, 13 6. Playing again on Saturday, for their second game in one week, the boys downed a Green and White eleven from Mt. St. Joseph’s Academy. Having very little trouble the home team immediately got out in front. Demonstrating too much aggressiveness and drive for a weaker Academy eleven, the Hartford “Mites” won out by the score of 25 9. They held the upper hand all through the game except in the last period when Mt. St. Joseph scored a touchdown and a safety to give them a total of 9 points. After a two weeks rest, tin- Hartford eleven journeyed to Brattleboro to avenge three previous defeats sustained at the hands of the Organgrinders. Scoring at random the boys really “went to town” to run up a score of 50 0. With substitutes from both the second and third teams playing the last half. Hartford had little trouble in shellacking Brattleboro. The boys didn’t even work up a sweat in the rout of the Organgrinders. After taking it on the chin for three successive years, Hartford got sweet revenge making the Organgrinders look like a bunch of grammar school kids. The following Saturday, Hartford went to Windsor to play their last game of the season. After battling on even terms the first half, the Blue and White finally let out with an aerial attack that netted them three touchdowns in the last half, while holding the Windsor boys scoreless. The game was undoubtedly the best game that the boys had played all season. Fighting and playing as a well organized team, the Hartford eleven put everything they had to hold the Windsor boys from getting but a few short feet from the goal line. Several times the Green and Yellow came within a few feet of the goal line, but on all occasions they just couldn’t push the ball quite over the line. Thus ended one of the best football seasons that Hartford has had in many a year. PERSONNEL OF THE SENIORS Ckosby, William {Bing) 5 feet, 9 inches. Tackle. Playing football for his first time, “Bing” showed much promise of being a good player. “Bing” had the size and the ability to play, but he also had quite a bit of tough luck and was out a greater part of the season with injuries that he had received in practice. Fkeitas, Edmund {Benny), 5 feet, 8 inches. 190 lbs. Quarterback. “Benny” came from Fairhaven, Mass., from where he had gone to school his three previous years. With a physique that many boys envy and with speed and stamina of a horse, “Benny” had much to do with the team’s success. His leadership as the signal caller pulled the team out of many a hole. “Benny” plans to go to college after graduating and we know that he will continue his fine brand of football there. Jorgensen, Richard {Itchy), 5 feet, 8 inches. 135 lbs. Sub. Quarterback. “Itchy” saw service in four games as the substitute quarterback and showed great promise of being a real good player. His cool judgment enabled him to call the signals while in there. “Itchy” also plans to go to college where he would develop into a good football player. Lahar. Raymond (Minnie), 5 feet, 11 inches. 145 lbs. fullback. Hay came from Newport, Vermont, three years ago and has played football the whole three years. Fleet-footed and fast Ray was hard to catch once he got into the open field. He was a good blocking back and paved the way for a number of scores during the season. Ray was also inclined to do quite a little fooling during practice. Mock, Robert (Hob), 5 feet, 7 inches. Halfback. “Bob” did not go out for football his Junior year, but this year he went out and proved that he could play football. He was on tin second team backfield, but saw service in almost every game. In the last week before the final game “Bob was put on the sidelines with an ankle injury and did not see service in that game. Snow, Charles (Charley), 5 feet, 11 inches. 158 lbs. Knd. “Charley,” who is the class comedian, was the boy from Bellows Falls who has a strong tendency for girls. But this did not stop “Charley” from playing a good game of football. He was always kidding about “throw me a pass and its a touchdown,” and when he was given one in the Brattleboro game he kept his word. . y „ __ , Whitney, Evekett (Whit), 5 foot, 6 inches. 155 lbs. Halfback. “Whit” had the privilege of being the captain of the best team that Hartford has had in the past five years. He also is the only member of the team that has made his letter for four years. “Whit” was a great player and could carry the ball well when it was his turn to take it. He is also one of the best liked boys on Zwicker, Owen, 5 feet, 9 inches. 136 lbs. End. Owen was another boy who came out for football for the first time this year. Owen had the ability and the makings of a great football player. He saw much service during the season and would have played regular but for his lack of experience. Regions, Carl (Kola), 5 feet, 5 inches. 130 lbs. Halfback. Although small. “Kolu” was one of the fastest players on the team, accounting for his being the high scorer of the team. He was also a good blocker when not carrying the ball. In the Brattleboro game “Kolu” scored 3 touchdowns with his zig-zagging-broken-field running. Grzeszczak. John (Hubbles), 5 feet, 8 inches. 145 lbs. Guard. Given the nickname “Bubbles” because he had the longest and the hardest name to spell in the school. John showed signs of being a great guard, but this was also his first year with the game. He could both take punishment and give it. Jones, Harold (Red), 5 feet. 7 inches. 135 lbs. “Red” was the ever ready to help manager of the 1937 football team. He was well liked by all the members of the team and did a fine job in giving rub-downs and patching the boys up when they needed patching. Scelza, Angelo (Hronw), 5 feet, 3 inches. 130 lbs. “Bromo” was really the cause of the success of a green line. In the early part of the season it was “Bromo” who plugged up the holes and made up for the line’s mistakes. As the line became more experienced “Bromo’s” job became easier, but there was no let down. “Bromo” was in every play that was within a country mile of him. “Bromo” is a typical example of the Hartford spirit this year and was really the heart of this well coordinated team.

Because of unfavorable conditions on the Athletic Field at the beginning of the season, practice was held for nearly two weeks in the Gym, until the field had dried out. The first game against Stevens High of Claremont, X. H.. was at home. Our team was beaten by Stevens 15—5. The first defeat was no indication of an unsuccessful season for the next three games were easily won. The fifth game against Woodstock was a very encouraging victory for hitherto Woodstock was undefeated, and was also considered one of ermont’s very good teams. The score of the game was Hartford 11, Woodstock 2. The following players were given first team positions: Harold Rising, catcher; Richard Jorgensen, first base; Kverett Whitney, second base; Ira Coutermarsh, shortstop; Lawrence Spencer, third base; Alfred Wilhelmsen, right field; Roland Hamel, center field; Chauncey Smardon, left field, and Raymond Lahar, pitcher. Other promising candidates were Alec Kontos, catcher; Leon Farnham, first base; Roland La Belle, second base; Burton Faneuf. shortstop; Robert Logan, third base; George Stanley, Thompson Close, Richard Mock, outfield; Francis Standish and Bernard Dwyer, pitchers. Another promising candidate would have been Harold Jones if he had not have been so unfortunate as to break his ankle in sliding practice. The veterans from last years team were Whitney, Spencer, Jorgensen, Hamel, and Lahar.
