For this reason, we are following an established tradition, that of editing a Class Book. During the four years we were at high school. because of the strife and unrest in the world, we, in America, were influenced a great deal by a newly-awakened spirit of pride in our nation because it, above all others, kept to the democratic ideals upon which its government is based. Therefore, we, the editors, in the hope that this book will keep before us always a reminder of the fact that our country manifestly protects our inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, chose Democracy for our theme.

Dr. George H. Wells of the Board of Education 164 CBOOK OF THE CLASS OF QWINETEEN HUNDRED FORTY CHAIRMANS ADDRESS Parents, Teachers ana' Friends: Tonight you have gathered here to witness the Class Night exercises of the largest class ever to be graduated from Hartford High. You, our parents and our teachers, we know feel a great pride in the part you have played in preparing this class for graduation. You, my classmates, should feel proud at graduating from a school so widely known and from which so many outstanding personalities have issued. As the Class of 1940 gathers for the last time in the Broad Street Assembly Hall, we canit help thinking back four years to the first time we assembled here as Fresh- men because Class Night is a review of our high school years as well as a prophecy of our future years. For some of us Class Night means the end of books and classes, and for others it means a transition to a higher level of learning. As each member of the class witnesses this review, he longs to live over again his high school career, a period which will never be duplicated in his life, a period he will always want to remember. Our historians, prophets and will-writers are about to reveal to you the senior class in all the glory, attained after four years of hard work and pleasure, which has brought us some of the happiest days of our lives. So, in behalf of the graduating class, I bid you a hearty welcome to the class night exercises of the class of l940. JOHN F.

We have all heard of the realism of that graduating class which adopted for its motto, HWPA, fHp,pQlLgL',o,n1ell ,Hag defezgig atmtgiggelnsgto have taken a strong grip on the average high school student, as he prepares himself for his fuflm Wcmcf Butiilii any justification for such a feeling? We see millions of men idle, as unemployment, the nationls number one problem, has caused a destruction of personal morale. We see violence 'arear its ugly headw as the rivalry of two labor unions has widened the gap between employee and employer, and between employees themselves. Wle see municipalities overrun with corruption and graft, government leaders selling their services for a price. Many of our cities, even in Connecticut, have had a bitter taste of dishonesty in some of their management. But what significance has this social unrest for us? How are we going to regard unemployment, labor disputes, and crime? Are we to feel disillusioned and fall into that pessimistic way of thinking and acting which seems to be the prevailing attitude today? The word Nunemploymentw has thrown a scare into the potential job-holder, and this fear is his greatest obstacle. We sit back and hope that a high-paying position will be thrown into our laps. A mania for a 'iwhite-collar jobw has seized the nation, and has been a chief cause for this feeling. William S. Knudsen, head of the General Motors Corporation, has said that never before has a person who is willing to work with his hands had such a golden opportunity for advancement, as at the present tinle. There is a crying need today for the willingness to do hard labor, a willingness that was so evident in the early days of our country. Our nation, and especially our own state, has inaugurated numerous institutions in order to give em- ployment to youth. We graduates have already in the past four years had a voca- tional training that will prove its value in the near future. With such challenging opportunities at our fingertips, there is no justification for total gloom on our part. 166 CBOOK OF THE CLASS OF QSNINETEEN HUNDRED FORTY Gmnmrrrutmm The increase in the amount of civic crime indicates that more serious than the business recession is the recession of morals. Many of our public servants have of their own accord tossed aside all personal principles of honesty to satisfy some selfish motive. Even in the small, insignificant walks of life, petty thievery has become a serious menace. Men take stamps and stationery from the office. Women engage in the practice of ushopliftingf, Small? Yes. But it is what Dr. Alexis Carrel calls the voluntary degenerationw of mankind. These past years have witnessed the meteoric rise of dictators and the alarming advent of autocracy. ln the midst of our feverish attempts to perpetuate democracy, let us be mindful of the fact that dis- honesty in our own community has nurtured the rise of demagogues. This failure of ours in the past should serve as a challenge for us in the present. We must be prepared to make ourselves a lasting influence when nations again assemble to termi- nate war and attempt to correct the political and economic status of the world. Such a mighty task can be accomplished only when each of us as individuals is willing to do well the task before him, no matter how small it may be. And as we read of corruption in our cities, we must see beyond the glaring headlines and realize that each case of a trust that has been broken, each case of responsibility that has been abused, offers to us one more challenge to follow Him who set for us a way of living nineteen centuries ago. Acceptance of this challenge will mean, as Abraham Lincoln said at Gettysburg, that we here highly resolve that this nation under God shall have a new birth. STEPHEN A.

No doubt, every one of us who has lg N41 spent four years in high school, has walked into a classroom antici- XJX pating a coming test with some anxiety. We go to our seats, receive the questions, and feel Nstumpedfi Suddenly, a stream of ideas comes 1Jj.ifP,'C,'- to our mind. Some are good, others must be mentally discarded. We find we are able to hand in a fairly satisfactory paper. Our fears of being unprepared were wholly unfounded. At one time or another, we all have had to speak before a group, perhaps it was to give a book report to our class. We had rQ1 gdi!pxQrgandioleLQpurselves, and yet, we just dreaded getting up and delivering it. We were afraid that we should stumbTefsTuEef EnHTnfoH1E'Tfvays spoil the report. However, when we got into the swing of the thing, we discovered we were doing better than we had before. We had an interested audience. Often we find that the tension we feel leading up to an event drops to nil as soon as the crisis is over. Another thing we fear is physical pain and medical treatment to heal that pain. You boys may scoff and say it never bothers you, but how long have you put off having your tooth filled, merely because the dentist's buzzing drill has left its song in your memory? A far more serious example is the annual tuberculin testing in the schools. Pupils are afraid to take advantage of the free examination, believing that they may have the disease and it may be discovered. They do not seem to be afraid of tuberculosis itself, but they are wary of the cure, which may include going to a sanitorium. This, apparently, is supposed to be a dark, lonely place from which no one returns. l wish these people might see an up-to-date tuberculosis sanitor- ium. It has the atmosphere of a movie set with its modernistic furniture, indirect lighting, and glass block walls. Its X-ray machine, its sun lamp, and other articles of equipment with far too technical names to mention, aid in making an early recovery possible. While there, a patient can enjoy companionship with others in his ward. Besides, he may have visitors three times a week. The food, all prepared on the premises, has a homey flavor. If there are none of the spacious porches usually associated with sanitoria, the windows in the ward may be opened in such a way that at night the patients are practically sleeping in the open air. Wiith an ever increasing knowledge of science today, we need not dread treatment for many physical ailments. Recently, Eve Curie wrote an article concerning the French women's attitude toward conditions in France. In it she said, HStrangely enough fear now is not with 168 QBOOK OF THE CLASS OF SYINETEEN HUNDRED FORTY the belligerents. It is with the neutralsfl The warring countries know exactly how to act under the circumstances. They are conscious every minute of their hardships. All their energy is consumed in trying to gain their goal. But the neutrals have not the actual experiences to give them a true picture of war. True, they have the memory of the years from 19144 to 1918 from which to judge, but they know modern methods of fighting are different today, and it is this unknown factor which keeps them in constant anxiety. There are many things we are afraid of, but we may conquer all our fears, if we live according to a quotation of Robert Louis Stevenson's. While he was wandering in foreign lands, trying to find a home in an environment which would help him win his battle against tuberculosis, he wrote, MA man should stop his ears against paralyz- ing terror, and run the race that is set before him with a single mind.

Today we find that this American way has been enriched with the traits and long-standing culture of all nations: the irre- VXI press-ible good humor of the Irish, the solidity and thoroughness of the Germans, the snrb-riet-y ' , Sqandinavians, the robustness and musical talent of the Italians, and the tenacity and high-mindedness of the Scotchflrish. Every nationality which has settled in this country has automatically shared a bit of itself with American life in the development of the culture, institutions, and material wealth of America. No longer is the United States immature. It has been in exist- ence a little more than one and one-half centuries, but in that short time, through the international spirit and the spirit of freedom which has been woven into the fabric of American thought, the United States has risen to the position of world leadership. To bestow due honor upon Hartford Highis Americans with foreign backgrounds, some of whose ancestors fled from tyranny, injustice, intolerance, militarism, and economic oppression to seek freedom and security in America, the Girls? League sponsored an International Night at our school. At this unique display of inter- national wealth the richness of foreign peoples was fully and interestingly revealed. America and Hartford High have been most fortunate to mother this kind of inter- nationalism, to draw from each people its culture, and to melt and mold these cultures into American life. 180 H Egg f, 5: .fx , ,530 -5, of wa ,wif owe' - 4- ',-.31 1 Club to Uur School ,, orcl Hlgh Q, G W0 If ,I Published Wedly by Szudenu of fhggmfma P5-by '5' F ion A X P . 1' rof' . aevl, 4 x ellie cwnf' Summa JP 'icq Tw, V W3 P 'dent ' SW4 't.

We have enjoyed tremendously the variety of social affairs this year, the Students Council dances, both matinee and evening, the two Boys' Club dances, Girls' League social events, and the Italian Extravaganza.

We had always thought that eight out of ten persons get married, but fourteen told, in a humorous skit, 4'Why We Never Marry. Harriet Swanson headed this group. Jim Kartsounis next entertained the Class of 740 with his excellent dramatic recitation of Cunga Din. ln contrast to this eminent recitation, Bob Calncn and his troupers presented their humorous version of 4'Gunga Deen. Shall we ever forget how Bob laughed when he was supposed to be dead and Dick Horan was pouring ucalsoulf' fbloodj over him? After this bloody drama, we were ready to enjoy the melodious strains of NGypsy Sweetheartw sung by Helen Bailey, accompanied by June Bickmore. Did you ever hear of uThe Tragedy of Chekovski, the Russiann? Well! Phil Erickson and his ubunchi' did a good job in putting it over. Josephine Glick's recitation of G'First Auditionn was sensational. She did a good bit of acting. Our football team seems to have been used as a target for much joking. This night was no exception when '4Kitty'7 Baine and her Powder Puff Elevenn sang about football. While the boys on a real team would be drinking stale water, the girls on the Puff eleven were having a knitting circle and drinking tea. Bernice Daniel, one of our best impersonators, showed her excellent ability in a monologue. lt centered about a party at Greta Garbo's where Katharine Hepburn and Margaret Sullavan drop in. Bernice impersonated all three of these actresses with simple ease. No program would be complete without an old-fashioned melodrama, so HUnited by Leven was presented by John Quinlan, Elaine Lavoie, John Tyler, Alice Anton, and James Eacott. As the dreadful bad man, John Tyler acted his part well, as did the supporters. Next came the golden-haired boy of room 31, Don Newhall, who let his Vocal chords glide in with the delightful tune of MlVly Prayer. Every one gasped when Bill Fey in 4'The Lamp Went outi' jostled with 4'Vander- slicen flied Walshl over the girl they both loved fTerry Westj and Vanderslicev went toppling to the floor with a bang. 184 1 CBOOK OF GTHE CLASS OF SKUNETEEN HUNDRED FORTY TTTTUHID No school program would be complete without a song from our own operatic star, Tina Livecehi. She sang Mlndian Love Calll' so beautifully that it won for her the individual prize. Last, but not least, came the winning skit, uMarch of Timef, directed by Stephen-ie Kezerian. He came out first as a distinguished character, our principal, Mr. Quirk, then appeared with his chorus girls consisting of hula dancer Countryman Wong, and chorus girls Spiro Peterson, Norman Zeldis, James Kartsounis, George Pappas, Edward Kojian, Attilio Gianini, Vasken Kallajian, and C. Allen Johnson. Alfred Libby was accompanist. After the skit, the judges, Miss Banks, Miss Ruggles, and Mr. Crosby announced the winning performances, Tina Livecchi's solo and Stephen Kezerianis uMarch of Time. Both were presented boxes of chocolates by the chairman, Joseph Ficaro. Dancing followed the program with the Virginia Reel as the feature. Thus ended one of the most wonderfully planned and acted performances of all the Senior Nights. The following people were the committee: Joseph Ficaro, Dorothy Bouchard, Jane Smith, Loretta Hickey, Robert Clough, Blanche Gagnon, Frank Lombardi, Countryman Wong, William J. Murphy, and Edna Quaile. The Senior Night Committee and the Class of 1910 wish to express their gratitude for the help and advice that Miss Pritchard and Mr. Quirk gave us in putting over this splendid performance. 186 RECEPTION COMMITTEE 'Owe no f JUNIOR PROMENADE COMMITTEE , NANCY W , N DERSON p r 1 Q7 I l adm cz fi o n L3 5 pc! t ffc f A -45 5 5'-. f m glllllmgyllllij f ' Ll at cZ'Cl'fct ffac eoof of unuuuun in f f Z N-n 5 Ms fafa N, ,, , NX5 az ofglqd : meffca.

Gradually one does learn his way about, hut somehow the sense of lueing an infinitesinnil electron enclosed within a mountainous molecule persists. Hartford High is an old school. It has evolved from the school founded in IGH555. However, it has little of the parochial viewpoint often associated with age. Except in special cases, it requires for graduation ai four-year course ill English and a year 190 6BOOK OF THE CLASS OF QWINETEEN HUNDRED FORTY l of mathematics. It gives instruction in Creek and Latin. These subjects have for a long time been a part of its curriculum. On the other hand, Hartford High has adopted a number of comparatively modern ideas as well. A really specialized course in stenography and typewriting is ample preparation for the keen competition in these fields. The commercial subjects, such as salesmanship, commercial law, commercial geography, and bookkeeping, provide excellent training for those interested in busi- ness. The manual arts department enables boys to develop a large degree of skill in operating factory machines. Safety driving, music, and home economics are taught here as well as i11 the most progressive schools. ln brief, HPHS presents an unusually democratic picture of a school which has clung to the old and not overlooked the new. It has retained traditions which are worthwhile and has accepted modern ideas, not because they are novelties, but because they are useful. HPHS endeavors to train its pupils for specific jobs in life and, at the same time, to teach them the art of living. Mathernatics, languages, and social sciences are not vocational subjects. Few people, in proportion to the number who take these subjects, put them to any reniunerative use. However, this does not mean that these 191 FBOOK OF THE CLASS OF SXUNETEEN HUNDRED FORTY subjects are useless. Mathematics, for instance, inculcates in the mind a logical thought process, which is a necessity in any line of work. lt develops the power to reason. lt curbs mass thinking. It is an essential in a government such as ours where the intelligence of the average individual is the gauge of national worth. The study of languages develops the memory, increases the vocabulary, makes one exact and proficient in the use of onels own tongue, and assists accurate thinking. Social sciences, such as history, democracy, civics, and economics, teach us the heritage which has been left us by those who founded our country. Through them we should come to appreciate the value and the responsibility of citizenship in this nation. We should have a more complete knowledge of our government. English is an example of a subject which combines the practical with the classi- cal. The ability to write and speak correct English is an invaluable asset in any line of endeavor. The study of English literature brings us into contact with the great minds of the past and enables us to enjoy whatever degree of success we may attain. lt instructs us in the art of living.

The various sciences, biology, physics, chemistry, and astronomy, give to the person who intends to specialize in any one of them a sweeping View of the main principles embodied in the study. They are often an introduction to one's lifework. For the person who does not intend to specialize in science, these studies offer a great deal of practical, general, useful knowledge. I suppose that to say, tritely, 4'We are fortunate to be living at a time and in a place where we can all enjoy these privilegesf, would be an unpardonable cliche. And if I attempted to illustrate our good fortune by contrasting it with the plight of others, saying that we do not deserve it, that, too, would break the literary precept of originality. And if I were to conclude with that oft-repeated, sentimental, over- worked, insipid phrase, 'Thank Cod I am an Americanf, a number of patriotic societies would accuse me of plagiarism. But l have said these things because they are true. 193 CBOOK OF THE CLASS OF SYUNETEEN HUNDRED FORTY CHARLES W. MORRIS N our junior year,.lVlr. Charles W. lVlorris, of the Nunthorpe Secondary School for Boys, 1n'York, England, came to Hartford High as exchange teacher for Mr. William Dole. ln one short year we came to love the genuine friendliness, keen wit, and literary brilliance of the gf ? . . . . Enghshman. To recall our pleasant association with him, we pub- lish the following excerpts from his articles and letters. Writing in a letter about the war which had just begun, he says, 'fthe knowledge that my friends in America .... are feeling with us and thinking of us with sympathy and understanding at this time has been a very great source of comfort and strength to usg the knowledge of someone outside this madness to whom our thoughts can turn-like looking out of a dark prison i11to the free sunlight. I always think of America as a country of sunlight and happinessfl ln an article in Nunlhorpe, the magazine of the school in which he teaches in York, England, he records vividly his impressions gained during his extensive travels in our country. His description of New York harbor follows. ulVly impressions began as we sailed through the Narrows, past the Statue of Liberty into the broad expanse of New York Harbor-not a mere harbour, but the estuary of two great rivers. As we approached the tip of Manhattan fthe narrow island on which the most important part of the City of New York is crowdedj the afternoon sun shone through crystal-clear air and lit up the towering, irregular geometrical shapes of the skyscrapers, so that they looked, rising out of the sea, like a brilliantly painted scene in a play. Like most people, l was familiar with their outline, but l was not prepared for their variegated colours-cream, yellow, brown, orange, green-all glowing in the sunls unobstructed rays, and their thou- sands of windows glittering. Our final selection, from the same article, gives his impressions of our people. 'cAI1d the people? l have already said how friendly they are. Even in the East which is supposed to be conservative and stand-offish, there is a noticeable 194 WOOK OF THE CLASS OF SYINETEEN HUNDRED FORTY l m1m absence of the cold reserve towards strangers which we have in England, and as one goes further West it becomes more and more possible to talk with complete natural- ness and freedom to everyone within earshot. This atmosphere extends to the schools, where students behave as if the teacher were a not-very-much-respected elder brother -but many of them are genuinely eager to learn, and have real respect for knowledge and lto an English schoolmasterl surprising gratitude. It is quite usual for a student to thank a teacher for help and guidance, or to compliment him on a good lesson or course. As hosts, the Americans cannot well be beaten. They lavish hospitality upon a stranger without stint and without question, they anticipate one's slightest desires, and they think out the most wonderful schemes for one's enjoyment, which they carry out with the utmost efficiency and energy. Energy is one of the most striking char- acteristics of the Americans. All, young and adult, work extremely hard-much harder than we do in England-and all play hard, and have leisure for play. And what a country it is to play in! There one has a choice of lovely climates, an endless variety of magnificent rivers, lakes, beaches, mountains, and forests-made accessible by splendid concrete highways and cheap, powerful automobiles-and a prosperity which fthough severely curtailed by the depressionj makes our standard of life seem meagre and pinched. 195 L, 3 0 2055 'L L fzgifb gf '50 LWNM '- ' 4. - 04140 5 tC.1.1. 135 141772065 Qi? 153'-f'Cv-1-1-11-'-52 -1 KL: - Q2 4' f' 9 E? ii 52 1 5? if A..

At Hartford Public High School a wide variety of infor- mation is diffused about matters of which he would not have dared to dream. He never could have foreseen the contributions from many lands in a public school like ours. Our umelting pot THPHSD surely showed itself on GIRLS LEAGUE Interna- tional Night. That colorful pageantry of parading nations was second only to the Tercentenary Pageant of 1938. After the entertainment the exhibition in the Girls' Gym bespoke the galaxy of our foreign representatives. Here, also, parents, teachers, and students had the chance to chat. This is only one activity of a large and lively league. Raey Pael lthe reverse of leap year!! was decidedly Hawaiian. Whatls this? A lei for each couple? How lovely! And the music!

One phrase in the preamble of the supreme law of the land which states one of the purposes of the Constitution, 'cto promote the general welfare, is a parallel to the purpose of the HPHS JUNIOR RED CROSS. The members work for the betterment of humanity through its motto of simply two words, MI serve. These two words are the founda- tion for the feeling of altruism among the approximtely two hundred fifty members of the organization from Hartford High. As evidence of the high sense of service. many worthwhile activities have been successfully completed this year. Besides a successful year i11 the usual undertakings, such as collection of tinfoil, a doll dressed as a typical Hartford High girl was sent to Red Cross headquarters to be shipped to a girl living in a European country. With this doll went a portfolio plainly picturing the supposed life of the doll in HPHS. O '4Service to othersn has been the motto of the VESTA CLUB during November. Each year the members help collect food for needy families. Cases of corn, potatoes, jellies, fruits, and many other necessities and delicacies are given to people who otherwise might have a poor Thanksgiving. It was fun, girls, and one hundred per cent American! Q The STUDENTS COUNCIL recognizes yearly the necessity of HPHS students learning to act together under pleasant circumstances. A booklet on 4'Better Man- ners and Conducti' was started this year which will be distributed among the student body. All the session rooms entered into competition in writing it, and throughout the school year everyone was aware of the importance of correct usage. 0 Each year members of the Smiley Chapter of the NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY look forward to the annual banquet held in June. Graduates and present members join with teachers in renewing old acquaintances. A guest speaker and some form of entertainment send the banqueters home with pleasant memories of the evening. 201 CBOOK OF THE CLASS OF SKUNETEEN HUNDRED FORTY 'YP' The New York Worldis Fair! The TECH CLUB, not to be outdone by several millions of people 'Lhoppedv a train and visited that fairest of Fairs! Having some strength left after this, they went on a sight seeing tour of the city. More good times to you, Tech Club. 0 Quiet reigned, broken only by the sound of moving chessmen or the crunching of cookies. Minutes passed into hours, but the concentration of the players, members of the CHESS CLUB, did not waver. Tense boys, on whose faces were unhappy, joyous, or puzzled expressions, noticed only the dwindling supply of cookies and the moves of their opponents. These boys sat back and sighed. The time limit had been reached and the score was tied. 0 Perhaps the most popular childhood pastime, stamp collecting, is held by many of our students to be infantile, not worthy of having time 'fwastedl' on it. This attitude is strange indeed. An ostrich can be excused for hiding his head in the sand, for his impulse is instinct. But We, representing, supposedly, the highest form of earthly intelligence, cannot. Those unfortunates have missed, and are missing now, an adventure so exciting, so intriguing, that men ir1 all the walks of lifegplumbers, merchants, lawyers, statesmen, rulers--have declared it to be the greatest single source of their enjoyment. Few realize the romance that may lie hidden in a piece of colored paper, and few realize that for a thorough knowledge of geography and for a valuable acquaintance with the peoples of the world no other hobby is so remuneratire. If yen wish to pursue this hobby, and share its pleasures with those enlightened others, and propagate it, then join the STAMP CLUB. 9 1-1-6 As early as H389 girls at Hartford High had a debating club. l,They couldnlt let the boys have all the glory!!

If our arithmetic is correct, debating has formed a substantial 5 part of the extra-curricular life of our school for some fifty-eight years. And yet we can truly say that the boys, debating societies, the HPHS DEBATING CLUB and the HOPKINS DEBATING SOCIETY, have seldom, if ever, had a more significant and successful year. 202 CBOOK OF THE CLASS OF SIUNETEEN HUNDRED FORTY Of course, there remains still the traditional rivalry between the HPHS D. C. and HOPKINS D. S. UVote-Not to be confused with federal agenciesj, expressed, as ever, in words, reams of them, issuing forth in a never-ceasing stream from the orifices of silver-tongued disciples of Demosthenes. fFor translation, see your local English lCOCl7,8l'.j And, as usual, this rivalry expressed itself from the rostrum in the annual Batterson debate, which was decided our spies tell us, in favor of the HPHS D. C. A slight misunderstanding with the judges according to HOPKINS D. S. members. In spite of this playful WJ competition, though, the two clubs have cooperated splendidly in making the past year eminently successful. It was marked especially by an increase in inter-school debates. Through the combined efforts of all our debating clubs, our teams talked their way to victory, winning the state debating championship in a final contest with Middletown at New Britain State Teachers College. The three clubs, again in the spirit of cooperation, closed a wonderful year with a joint picnic. 9 Founde-'I in the spring of 1939, the TABLE TENNIS CLUB was organized by boys who were interested in this sport. This has been a gala year, for the club won the majority of its matches in competition with Bulkeley High School, Williztni Hall High, and other groups interested in this sport. The only defeat was at the hands of Loomis. And who knows? In a few years the girls may have a ping pong team. 9 Zing! What? Oh, itls just one of the arrows aimed by a member of the new HPHS GIRLS ARCHERY CLUB, which organized this year. Field Day at St. Joseph College featuring a Mtassel shoot was an event worth the attention of any lover of archery. May all your shots be Mbull's eyesf' girls! 9 Flash! In February, the SOPHOMORE-FRESHMEN LEADERS entertained teachers at a Play-Day. The latter put away pencils, text-books, and demerit slips and let down their hair. After individual and mass games, a real old-fashioned Virginia Reel served as a grand finale. 0 GIRLS LEADERS! The swimming team! The track team! All of them at one party! By far it was the highlight of the GIRLS LEADERS' year. Giant Volley Ball was unconditionally the favorite sport at the party. And who won? Well-wc'll skip that! And, of course, none of the revelers minded working their vocal chords for the popular and old-fashioned songs. The boys say, 'cWe'll be back again, girls fif you invite usff' 203 GBOOK OF THE CLASS OF WINETEEN HUNDRED FORTY L History in the making! A delayed choir period-and all for the New Britain rally! Perhaps the horseshoes didn't bring us good luck, but the school spirit at the game was tops. Certain members of the Class of 1940 saw fit to impersonate the leading characters on Senior Night, so it was impressive. May the ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION rallies continue to have a rousing influence on the student body. 0 uHello. Who'ja wanna talk to?77 No, no, never answer a 'phone that way, especially at a place of business. The BOYS' COMMERCIAL CLUB invited the Girlsl Commercial Club to visit the Southern New England Telephone Company with them this year. Besides correct telephone manners, the girls received helpful hints on how to apply for an operatoris position. The boys were interested in the construction work of the company. 9 Demonstrations of various modern business machines has been one of the greatest interests of the GIRLS' COMMERCIAL CLUB during the year. One of the members secured a representative from the International Business Machines Corporation, who came to our school and demonstrated the new electric typewriter, which fascinated all who were present. He suggested that the club take a trip to the plant of the company which he represented. So, in eagar anticipation of seeing more modern machines, we set off on our visit one afternoon. Some of the machines seen were the Punch Machine, used mostly for invoices in codeg the Corrector, which shows where mistakes have been made, the Sorter, which separates the cards according to desire, and the new Bookkeeping Machine, which practically completes a whole bill. At the close of the visit each girl received pamphlets on the machines together with a handy leather-bound memo book. 9 4'Tl1e playis the thingln The DRAMATIC CLUB'S year reached a grand climax the night of the play, '4Tl1e Nut Farm. The audience gasped when Big Brother remonstratecl with his sister tand half the casti.

And another test tube has splintered from the hands of a member of the CHEMISTRY CLUB. Despite the minor tragedy, experiments resume. During the year, the trip to the Fro-Joy Ice Cream Company was second only to the visit to St. Francis Hospital's uLab. And the club members bowled, too. 9 The PHYSICS LABORATORY CLUB was established for the purpose of pro- moting good fellowship, encouraging friendship, and aiding the members in their physics course by demonstrations and trips to places where the principles of physics are demonstrated in actual practice. Holding meetings every two weeks and going on trips once a month, the members enjoy the liberty of performing experiments for the entertainment and benefit of the other members. The end of the semester is marked by a gala party at which time the members enjoy the best of food and soft drinks with enough for all and some to spare. The Physics Laboratory Club is small, but its members and faculty advisor enjoy the meetings together and cooperate with one another to bring about mutual benefit for the club and themselves. 9 HVariety's the spice of life.'7 Well, the GIRLS' BIOLOGY CLUB thinks so, surely. Trips to dairies, museums, hospitals, greenhouses, and talks by biologists keep interest in the club keen. Of course, there is the annual trip to New York, which is financed by club activities. No wonder there is a waiting list for member- ship! Their most beneficial accomplishment is the selling of Wild Life Preservation stamps. Good luck! 205 CBOOK OF THE CLASS OF SNINETEEN HUNDRED FORTY in On November 22 and 23, the BOYS' BIOLOGY CLUB of HPHS offered an exhibition open to the public at the slnall fee of five cents. The exhibition was open after school and later in the evening. Pupils of HPHS had permission to visit it before school, during their free periods, lunch period, and after school. In the exhibit were included stuffed birds and animals, preserved Oz 2 snakes, turtles, fruit, pictures, microscopic specimens, clay model lf of the skull of a saber tooth tiger, fossils, barnacles, sharks, 39 teeth, and other things of interest. The feature was the clubis ,N version of the reputed Glawackus. These exhibits were obtained ' , from the Childrenis Museum of Hartford, Trinity College, a noted taxidermist in East Hartford, and the different laboratories of HPHS. 9 ASTRONOIVIY CLUB members enjoy a trip to New York each year, during which the main feature is a visit to the Hayden Planetarium. This year was no exception. In three minutes, time the process of day turning to night was witnessed. Double-decker buses and automats were customary favorites. A show at Radio City ended the tour of the city. Many more trips to you, nstar gazerslm 0 This year THE CHRONICLE has to its credit a number of outstanding accom- plishments. An article which it had printed won the first prize in a national contest. For the first time, color was used in an illustration. The mystery story, if not literature, at least made its readers realize that it can happen here. Every year The Chronicle encourages incipient writers to contribute articles for publication and in this way enables them to develop skill in writing. It has caused many pupils to look upon writing as a pleasure. Its use in the classroom has shown us exactly what our students who are interested in writing can do. Then, too, mem- bers of the English classes by criticism of The Chronicle material are better able to judge and improve their own work. 9 With the purpose of representing HPHS to the public and of keeping the students posted on the highlights of the school, the HARTFORD HIGH OWLET, news weekly, Was organized in 1919 by the Hopkins Debating Society, and, since then, has appeared on every 'Thursday scheduled, including the Flood of ,36. Down through the years, the Owlet has kept pace with the progress of the school, beginning with an eight-page magazine-like issue and modernized to what it is today. Now under the guidance of William E. Blake, nationally known figure in the field of journalism, the twenty-first birthday of this successful paper has been cele- 206 GBOOK OF THE CLASS OF SXUNETEEN HUNDRED FORTY brated. This year, a new head line and umake-upw style, employed by the leading news-journals of the country, was adopted and put to use. 0 Oh, joyous Yuletide season! LE CERCLE FRANCAIS held its annual Christmas party amid the singing of carols by HLe Groupei' and soloists. Ever played a guess- ing game in French? Loads of fun.

Q '4God Bless America was the beautifully expressive introduction to the IL CIRCOLO ITALIANO entertainment. All the color of sunny Italy was present on the HPHS stage that evening.

Baldwin, nationally known director and composer, and is now under the leadership of Mr. James D. Price, Superintendent of Music in the Hartford Public Schools. Aan - The thoir is composed of seventy-two regular members and eight substitutes, all students of high rank in the three high schools.

With this spirit, girls as well as boys have heen participating whole- heartedly in their respective athletics. Perhaps some of our teams have not won in points, hut they have triumphed in school spirit both on the field and in the spectatoljs seat. Each player has done his utmost to help his team win, and eaeh has shown that, regardless of the outcome, he knows the meaning of clean sportsmanship. The outstanding increase in attend- ance at games and meets is another evidenee of the rise in school spirit. Many students have gone home from tnese sports events hoarse froni cheering their class- mates onward. The formation of the hand was the high point of our senior vear. This was a dream Come true.

SWIMMING NOTHER successful year may well describe the past season of the Hartford High Swimming Team. This is the sixth straight year in which the Amannmen have gone unbeaten by any high school team in a dual meet, having lost only once to the Trinity Freshmen and fef.iiSC -I-. twice to the Yale Freshmen in the past six years. The team, which was composed of lower classmen, with the exception of three seniors, also won the State interscholastic Meet for the sixth consecutive time. The first places went to Hack Tyler in the 220-yard freestyle 1lThis was the third year he has won this eventfl, and to Edward Tevald whose spectacular diving is yet to be beaten. flackw Tyler also took second in the 100-yard freestyle and Williani Mullady took second in the 100-yard breaststroke. The relay team of Edward Ziemba, William Mullady and nlackw Tyler took second in the State 300-yard medley relay championship and Robert Tyler took second in the 150-yard individual medley relay.

However, even with a season such as this, credit still goes to the tc-ani as well as to Coach Newell, for he turned out some really good ball players. Some of the stars of this yearis team were Captain Steve Under-z, Nick Dione, Joe Shettle, Frank Bores, Nick Diacrhenko, Arnold Lewis, Nate Waterman, Hugh Hunter, and Wlillie Sutton. As only a few of this yearis stars are graduating, we feel sure that the tables will he turned for the season of 191141 and that Hartford High will again he on the winning list. 218 BOOK OF 'THE CLASS OF QNUNETEEN HUNDRED FORT Y I UKDI DIIKHDIU HHm mmm Tm: Sc11rgm'1,15: 9 .

Our whole new program believes in building up our health and body. Talk of strikes, spares, and ten pins is now flying about Hartford High. Once again that old tradition of something! new each year has been fulfilled. The girls spend every Thursday afternoon at the Morgan Alleys bowling to their hearts' 225 'BOGK OF THE CLASS OF ZYUNETEEN HUNDRED FORTY ' content or should I say to the point of sore muscles. Many have taken up this enjoy- able pastime as a regular sport. Who knows? Perhaps we have some of the leading bowlers of 1950 in our class. One noticeable feature of our new system is the class teams. Our senior class basketball team has, as usual, been very successful. They have beaten down their opponents in the closest match since the organization of the teams. For a reward for their well-earned victory, the girls received white sweaters with blue insignias. You've probably seen them being sported around the corridors. In the past our class baseball team has also brought us glory. ln our junior year the team hit run after run to bring us victory. We are proud of this grand record and consider it a privilege to have had them represent us on our team. This year, more than ever before, badminton has become extremely popular. There has been a rush for the rackets at the beginning of the class every day. In each class there has been held a tournament to discover the best player. There was an overwhelming number that signed up for this, which made the competition keen indeed. Every fall the big event in Girls' Athletics takes place, namely, the Tennis Tourna- ment. Everybody looks forward to this with great excitement. Girls from all classes submit their names and are paired off. Each year our class has triumphed. Ann Poharcyk, our tennis ace, has taken the tournament over in grand style. Thus more glory to our class! 226 CBOOK OF THE CLASS OF WINETEEN HUNDRED FORTY K SENIOR CALENDAR Sept. 7-Start of our Senior year Sept. 20-6'Why Ask the Boys?', Oct. 20-Girls, League Class Suppers.
