Purpose intent on the higher thing, Hearts that dare in the storm to sing, Chivalry, vigilance, strength of wing, K Sureness of hand. -William Rose Benet. During our four years' companionship at Hartford Public High .School We have been brought face to face with a chaotic state of World affairs, Shall we let this storm batter our Wings until it forces us down, or will the,strength which we have gained here enable us to prevail against it? With the background and ideals we have acquired we need not fear to meet the present crisis and to direct our Way unswervingly through the changing, and We hope, happier years to come. Let us lift up our hearts and rise to new heights of courage, marking out each his individual pattern of life. We hope that this Class Book will be a cheerful reminder of the days we have spent together learning that to evade a barrier We must rise above it. H. R. F., Editor-in chief. 3 Dedication It is with sincerity and deep admiration that we, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty-one, dedicate our Class Book to Randall H. Gifford. We honor him for his never failing sense of humor, his understanding of youthful minds and spirits, and his fine sportsmanship. Through his un- ceasing and stimulating efforts he has aided the students of HPHS toward worthy goals and high achievement. 4 4 'I ' 1 I r Q. RANDALL H.

She was also a vice- president of our Alumni Association. Always a dependable worker, she never left a task uncompleted no matter how hard it was nor how long it took. She filled well a difficult and exacting position. P14 JACK COHEN, 1924B We are unutterably saddened by the death of ,lack Cohen, who was largely responsible for making our band the splendid organization it is. Mr. Cohen won the liking and respect of all of us. PX4 CLARA A. PEASE Clara A. Pease, born April 19, 1856, in Springfield, Massachusetts, began her career at Hartford Public High School in 1882 as a substitute teacher. During 1883 and 1884 she taught in Middletown. In 1885 she returned to Hartford Public High School as a regular member of its faculty which numbered sixteen at that time. During her forty-one years in connection with the science department she gave freely of her abundant knowledge and wise counsel and inspired her students with a desire for further learning. She insisted on a mastery of detail to support principles, orderly habits of thought, and accurate and concise expression of ideas. In memory of this courageous, kindly woman there has been established in this school the Clara A. Pease Science Prize awarded semi-annually to a senior for excellence in Astronomy or Geology. 10 ..',-- it flln ,i emuriam P14 ALFRED M. HITCHCOCK May 7, 1368-April 14, 194.1 Alfred M. Hitchcock spent a full and interesting life as a distinguished teacher, writer, and scholar. The profession of teaching had been followed by both his father and his mother, and also by a brother. Two of his four children are now teachers. In 1890 he was graduated from Williams College, after having made a fine record there. He obtained a masteris degree at Dartmouth in 1896, and in 1921 he received an honorary degree from Williams for his distinguished service to education and for eminence as an authorf' ln the spring 1897 he came to teach at HPHS from the Central High School in Cleveland, Ohio. During his thirty years of teaching at HPHS, Mr. Hitchcock was well known, respected, and admired by young and old. He taught English composition and classic literature. He believed that hard work and repeated drill were necessary to master a subject. He believed that discipline, especially self-discipline, is needed today. He stressed the importance of learning the fundamentals or basic ideas of a subject. Otherwise, he thought, one would encounter certain difficulties when face to face with greater demands upon one's mental faculties. He felt that literature should be taught as an art if full enjoyment were to he had from it. Since his retirement from active teaching in 1927, he has written short stories and essays, chiefly for his own pleasure. His grammar and literature textbooks have been widely used in schools throughout the country. At this time we join those numerous people who were instructed and inspired by him in praising this man for the richness of life which he has taught many to know. P14 MARY L. HASTINGS We honor the memory of Mary L. Hastings, who devoted the years 1891-1928 to the teaching of English in this school. Miss Hastings also devoted time and effort to charitable causes in this city. 11 22 TQ Pg, ' 3B:'.Lgg,5,'rlgaqf1.re':1-- 'rr mlm' L 5 - V51 'L 'E grin.-.nl A umm. j u-nm u I-1--1,25 OUR FACULTY Principal--Thomas J .

However, still ringing in our ears are sounds of classes, socials, assemblies, bells, and homework. Founded in I638, the Hartford Public High School stands high in academic brilliance. Ranked among the best of preparatory schools in the country, HPHS offers a variety of courses. Num- bered in these are the college pre- paratory, general, home economics, commercial, and mechanical arts courses. Art, music, safety driv- ing, and public speaking are also studied. To those interested in business, bookkeeping, commercial geog- raphy, salesmanship, and commer- cial law classes give a sound and basic training. The manual arts courses provide an opportunity for those interested in machinery and factory work to get ahead. Typewriting and stenography not only absorb one's interest but pre- pare those commercially inclined for advantageous positions. On the other hand, for the stu- dents who intend to continue their CLASSES 6 education beyond high school, a splendid curriculum has been es- tablished. The languages taught here at Hartford High are French, German, Italian, Latin, Greek, and our own English language. These not only improve our vo- cabulary and introduce us to great literature, but also tend to lead us into the deep mysteries of the Ancients. Mathematics, which is so essential to all kinds of Work, is a foundation subject in this course. Mathematics in one sense may be tedious, but it also develops quick thinking. deep concentration, and a persistence to conquer difficult tasks. In the field of science, biology, astronomy, chemistry, and physics are put before the student for his use and for his benefit. Using these as a basis for his lifetime work, a pupil needs but advanced training to make a success of himself in the various scientific endeavors. Some study these sciences to gain much knowledge: others study them because they intend to use them in their branches of medicine, chemistry, physics, or whatever their chosen scientific attempts' may be. Among the several innovations which have taken place recently CLASS S are the public speaking, the slide- rule, and the advanced mechanical courses. Worthy of mention is the resumption of the uniform English tests. As was customary the monthly marking period tests were held in the English recitation rooms. Now the tests are given in the home rooms under the sup- ervision of the home room teacher. These tests have shown marked and surprising success. Since we live in so turbulent and precarious a world, we need the protection of our army, navy. and air force. These branches of defense, however, need our young men for both repair work and the construction of the mighty imple- ments of war. Our shop courses have trained many young men for positions in arms, aircraft. and other vital defense plants. Since such men are in constant demand at the present time. we have seen to it that they are provided with the opportunities to learn and know what to do to save the United States as well as the other democracies from totalitarianism. Yes, our four years have passed, but they will never be forgotten. Ours shall be the memory of this scholastic life which we lived and learned to love, 'L s ass ormation Flights CLUBS Birds of a feather flock togetherf' We try our wings in groups adding a new member now and then on our way through life. We meet in congenial companies at school, such as, hobby, debating, and language clubs. We have thirty-six avenues of expression for all tastes and moods. Are you scientifically inclined? If so, every other Wednesday you may meet with an eager group of seniors who delve deeply into the fascinating mysteries of CHEMISTRY. They solve practical problems and take trips to plants, all of which fosters their interest in this eye-opening subject. The limited number who qualify for the ASTRONOMY CLUB marvel much at the starry mysteries and have lots of fun, including a trip to the Hayden Planetarium in New York and to some nearby observatory in their schedule. Interesting and exciting experiments in static electricity, radio construction, and water pressure thrill members of the PHYSICS LAB', CLUB every other Tuesday. Educational trips to various places in the city are made under the guidance of Mr. Brooks, the faculty advisor. All that is necessary is one year of biology and a C average and you're eligible for a grand time-a trip to New York. Besides this highlight of the year's program, the GIRLS BIOLOGY CLUB holds many interesting biological meetings. The BOYS BIOLOGY CLUB, established in 1929, is open to twenty boys who have been in the highest third of their class for the first half year of biology. With its able faculty advisors, Mr. Foss and Mr. Wolcott, the club has had a successful program this year. Do foreign lands and languages lure you? Join the ACADEMIA LATINA and learn the true prophecies of the Delphic Oracle and attend a Roman banquet. An outstanding example of minor-club accomplishments is IL CIRCOLO ITALIANO. The Italian Show, a public-appealing extravaganza, is the criterion of the club's activities. A German Christmas party? What fun! The members of DER DEUTSCHE VEREIN had special cookies, Santa Claus, and a play. Besides this high spot in the calendar there were other interesting meetings. Weren't lVIr. Veits' movies beautiful? '4The Greeks had a word for it. Yes, each year Latin students at Hartford High hear their Greek rivals list the advantages of learning I'Iomer's language. Members of HELLENO-MATHETAE have discovered that Creek is not entirely dead.,' O, ,Ioyous Yuletide season! LE CERCLE FRANCAIS held its annual Christmas party amid the singing of carols. Ever play a guessing game in French? Loads of fun! The French students did and report their affair was tops, Do you crave exercise? Zip and Zing! The ARCHERY CLUB is in full swing. It's a great sport. Try not to miss the bull's eye, girls! Founded in the spring of 1939, the TABLE TENNIS CLUB was organized by the boys who were interested in this sport. This has been a gala year, for the club 163 V X iii 1' f iw WWA, I won the majority of its matches in competitions with the other high schools in the vicinity. A delayed choir period--and all for the New Britain rally! And this time it really did some good. The fine school spirit spurred the boys on to a fine game, even though we did lose by a very small margin-13 to 12. May the ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION rallies continue to have a rousing influence on the student body. Are you artistically inclined? Join the SKETCH CLUB and have your designs exhibited about the school. This year they illustrated the old story of Willow-Ware Plate and had live models for their paintings. If you like to create novel objects, excellent opportunity is offered you in the CRAFTS CLUB. Many of the members wear their creations at school and receive much admiration. Click! Click! Like to take pictures? The CAMERA CLUB certainly has some capable members. Weld gladly match them with any of the well-known photog- raphers in town. Helping others is the motto of the VESTA CLUB. This is certainly evident every Thanksgiving when the girls do such splendid work in taking dinners to needy families. Intense concentration was broken only by the sound of the moving chessman or the crunching of cookies. Minutes passed into hours but the members of the CHESS CLUB did not waver. Yes, these hours spent in room twenty-six are a joy to all the members. Perhaps the most popular childhood pastime, stamp collecting, is held by many of our students to be infantile, not worthy of having time 6'wasted on it. But the members of the STAMP CLUB certainly know its real value-the enjoyment and romance that can be derived from it. New York City! The TECH CLUB, not to be outdone by the other clubs, also hopped a train and visited that fair city. More good times to you, TECH CLUB. Fluency, articulation, and powers of sound reasoning are acquired by taking part in club debates. Mr. Roisman and Mr. Davis, capable and inspiring faculty advisors, give pointers to the seniors, juniors, and sophomores. The annual Batterson Debate between the HOPKINS DEBATING SOCIETY and the HPHS DEBATING CLUB is ever-popular with the students. The ATHENA has certainly increased its prestige during the years. A debate is held at every meeting and flowers are presented to the best speaker. Ex-members will not need the faded petals of flowers to remind them of the Athena in future years, because the public speaking training offered will be a constant reminder. ,Iournalistically inclined? Every year THE CHRONICLE encourages incipient writers to contribute articles for publication and in this way enables them to develop skill. This year a new trend was started-an art page. This consisted of photographs and drawings. V Since the days when it first went to press in 1919, the HARTFORD HIGH OWLET has advanced so far that it has been rated among the highest in the country. Indeed the Owlet has been most constructive in training minds adapted to journalism. 165 . an y - 5 ' If 'A , ' a The K. B. L. S. was founded in 1912 to foster an interest in good literature. Membership is open 'to girls of the junior and senior classes who have sufficiently good marks. Guest speakers and delicious refreshments form an important part of the program. The play's the thing! The DRAMATIC CLUB'S year reached a grand climax the night of the play, Wllhe New Poor. The audience was thrilled when the romantic count wooed the fair ladies. Each year members of the Smiley Chapter of the NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY look forward to the annual banquet held in June. Renewing old acquaintances, hearing a guest speaker, and enjoying some form of entertainment send the banqueters home with pleasant memories of the evening. The HISTORY-CIVICS CLUB, open to students of history and civics, was established to promote a more lively interest in history and civic affairs. The club takes various trips to different places of interest and plays host to visiting clubs from other schools. The STUDENTS COUNCIL recognizes yearly the necessity of HPI-IS students learning to act together under pleasant circumstances. This year the Council sponsored Club Night, a gala affair in which fourteen clubs were represented. The fine sportsmanship and cooperation made the affair successful. To promote the general welfare is the purpose of the HPHS JUNIOR RED CROSS. The members work for the betterment of humanity through its motto, I serve. This organization helps others to learn to fly on their own wingsf, Including a trip to the Veeder-Root plant gives much enjoyment to the members of the BOYS COMMERCIAL CLUB. Besides visiting various business firms, they have guest speakers at their meetings. Are you going to work in the Aetna? The Travelers? Then, why not ask the members of the GIRLS COMMERCIAL CLUB what to expect? They visit various business firms so as to know how their day is scheduled. Besides these interesting trips, they have demonstrations of the Ediphone, Dictaphone, and other secretarial instruments at their meetings. Wasn't the Club Night performance of the WORLD PROBLEMS CLUB impressive? The judges thought so, and awarded it first prize. This club has certainly fulfilled its purpose-to make its members true and loyal Americans. The Circus! Of course you attended. That was the GIRLS LEAGUE extrava- ganza of the year. Side shows, charms, refreshments, and even a magician. Fun. wasnlt it, girls? ' The Harvest Moon Dance. Enchanting name, isnlt it? And what artistic decorations. And the music! Yes, it certainly was a success, as well as the other numerous BOYS CLUB activities. Thus we have tried our wings through four years at HPHS, giving to this grand school our loyal service and getting from it an inestimable treasure. Our connection with our school need never cease, for whatever heights we as individuals may attain will bring honor to our ever-growing ALUMNI ASSOCIATION. 167 'Q 3 r V 'F if SHCRKSI f 'FIQEQHS lf.. 5 f 1:'iI ?57' .5 'T Zig S , , P1 3 ,fa .. my, ,,l,5ggI1k - . . sg 6 f ' Q T PM ' , Q' THE SENIOR CHOIR AND SENIOR ORCHESTRA The Senior Choir is the oldest school musical group in Hartford, having been founded in 1905. Its voluntary membership of about two hundred and fifty proves the intense interest taken by the students. The choir, under the skillful direction of James Denning Price, made its twelfth appearance in the Bushnell Memorial on May 23, 194-1. The choir followed its procedure of last year and presented a program of individual songs. The Senior Orchestra, also under the direction of Mr. Price, is one of the few important musical groups which are still conducted by their founders. James D. Price first organized the orchestra in 1915 and has directed it every year. Seventeen orchestras have since developed from it. The orchestra appeared with the Senior Choir and combined Glee Clubs on May 23, 1941 in the Bushnell Memori'al. It had its own concert as a part of the ,program and also accompanied the choir. The orchestra plays at assemblies as well as giving its own concerts. The Officers are: Choirmastcr-Henry Mocarsky. Principal-Nina Volchak. Librarian--Arthur Sable. -0-Q-v THE COMBINED SENIOR GLEE CLUBS A new trend in the history of the Boys and Girls Glee Clubs was begun the twenty-third of May this year. For thirty-seven years the Glee Clubs have followed the schedule of rehearsing jointly and separately through the school year for their annual spring concert in the Broad Street Auditorium, at which they have sung as a combined glee club and also as individual clubs. This May, however, the Clubs presented their program in the Horace Bushnell Memorial with the Senior Choir and the Senior Orchestra. The Boys and Girls Glee Clubs combined to sing as one group, which was con- ducted by Mr. Edward O. Elmer, Jr., capable and inspiring leader of the Senior Glee Clubs since 1937.

The Choir was founded by lVlr. Ralph L. Baldwin, nationally known director and composer, and is now under the capable leadership of lVlr. James D. Price, Superintendent of Music in the Hartford Public Schools. The Choir is composed of seventy-two regular members and eight substitutes, all students of high rank in the three high schools. The Choir in the course of the year, has presented three Christmas high school assembly concerts and its annual spring concert, in addition to outside presentations. Mr. Price, conductor, now in his second year of directing the choir, has upheld the principles of the groups superbly, and carried on the work of its organizer with marked ability and success.

This was the first of several attempts in the past years which metf with success., lt made-its first appearance of that year at the Weaver Football game on Thanksgiving Day and from that day on has increased its prestige and skill. In the fall of 1940 collections were taken in the various clubs and session rooms, with which the' Students Council purchased uniforms for the entire outfit and'a dream of many' of the students had come true--Hartford High had a uniformed band. ' The band consists of both boys and girls and totals about thirty members. Rehearsals are held each Monday in the Broad Street Auditorium. The band played at all the home football games this year Since the type of music played by the band is generally enjoyed by all it provides a great deal of entertainment for the student body at special assemblies The splendid leadership of Mr Cohen has inspired the members of the band just as the band has inspired us We have all re ogmzed the increase in school spirit since our band has been present at our social and athletic events I am sure that all the students in the school take pride when they see their splendid band marching across the field , Q 172 'BOOK OF THE CLASS OF ENINETEEN FORTY-ONE 'v .,...l..........................................................,-.gl -,....... ...........................................................................................q3Q t CLASS NIGHT EXERCISES June 20, 1941 Address of Welcome ........ ................... .... 1 ll ichael Richard Campo Violin Solo ............................................

HY does a person on a diet say, HI will not eat another piece of cake for two months ? Why do people year after year make New Year resolutions? 'T Fm is Why do we make promises to our friends that we will remember to do their errand or some such thing? Helen makes her statement in regard to cake so that when she is visiting Mary, the spoken words, indicative of a well-formulated desire, will help her to refuse a tempting piece of home-baked chocolate delight. Likewise, Bill makes oral promises as a reminder and an aid to him to be true to his resolutions. However, when we make a promise to a friend, our motive differs from that of Helen or Bill. Our verbal promise is a sort of guarantee or collateral, if you like, that we will fulfill our word or else suffer the loss of that inward self-respect that is ours. In addition to the part already mentioned that words play, there is another where they are the expression of belief or opinion. Today, the words democracy, freedom, tolerance, equality, and many others are on the lips of millions of people throughout the world. Yet, are there not among those who shout these words loudest, some whose actions belie them? When these people hear on the radio someone speaking against their own personal opinions, they simply shut the radio off or change the station rather than hear what the other side has to say. Are they being tolerant and broad- minded? Can it be said that they mean what they say? The abuse of these vital words is shown by the attitude which now exists toward Charles A. Lindbergh. In 1927, when he flew to Paris in his Spirit of St. Louisf' millions of people cheered him. He became overnight the hero of every child and of many older people. Today, Lindbergh is called disrespectful names because he has used his privilege to say what he thinks right. Vlfe are not concerned so much with whether or not he is right, as with the fact that he no longer commands the respect of those who once cheered themselves hoarse and who now bitterly criticise and condemn him because he has a different opinion from their own. Why should a man whose popularity grew out of his flying ability lose all that because of his opinion upon the foreign policy of our country? Lindbergh, then, is an example of one who is being criticised for saying what he really believes. There are people who, to escape the fate of Lindbergh, express words that are not their own, but are merely the reiteration of someone else's. Their words do not 175 .x A l , as ln, 1.

There are many who join in the denunciation of Germany and who say that this country should go to war to help the Allies, not because they have thought the matter out themselves, but because they wish to escape the criticism of their neighbors. To disguise their own feelings, should they be will- ing to make words lies? There are some who misuse words to the other extreme and who say something totally different from others just for the sake of being different. This condition is as harmful as the first, if not more so. I would not condemn a person who had a mistaken idea and who expressed it with all sincerity. In formulating our opinions, we should be careful to gather complete facts lest we be misinformed and unwittingly mistaken. If you ask a man on the street whether or not he is honest, invariably his answer is the short reply, Certainly, I am honest, meaning he has never robbed his neighbor or a bank. Yes, he is honest, but honest to what degree? ls he honest in concealing his real feelings when he is asked about one matter or another? When he is asked whether or not he practices his religion, does he at once answer, Yes, when he knows that he does not? Some will say, Well, the circumstances are such that the questioner might not understand my reasons Is it so important to be under- stood as to be honest? However, as a fellow human being, we need to be considerate of those whom our opinions might hurt We need not be outspoken to the extent that we only condemn and criticise In all our actions, in all our sayings, we must be governed by love and understanding of our neighbors The wise see that to pomt out the good qualities of a person, is to make him more aware of his shortcommgs by contrast and, therefore, more ready to correct them It is our great human privilege that speech may be used in such a way that others can always accept our statements as sincere and honest Our speech must not spread falslty and malice, but unstead expound truth Our speech can be used to make ourselves known and understood by others If we are that which we do not want others to consider us, then we ought to become such a person that we shall be glad to have others know us for what we really are Only then shall we be honest and sincere Only then shall we mean what we say JOHN ANTOINETTI .t CLASS ESSAY OUR LATIN-AMERICAN NEIGHBORS Q ES, we all have neighbors, whether they live just across the hall or a mile down the road. Neighbors probably serve as the greatest force in making if most American people keep up with the times. There isla certain feeling of competition to be found in this relationship, which tends to keep us on a'par with those around us. If the family next door gets a new car, in all probability you will find yourself riding to church the next Sunday in a beautiful new sedan. If they go to the shore for the summer, you try to go to an even more expensive resort. If Mrs. Smith gets a new hat, Mrs. Jones pesters her husband until she gets that adorable bonnet in the Exclusive Millinery Shoppe. We might call this neighborhood rivalry, but being very genteel people, we apply the more polite expression of keeping up with the Jonesesf' The United States has a neighbor too-a downstairs neighbor-Latin-America. ,lust as we notice very carefully what our neighbors do, so too, the United States looks most carefully at the actions of her neighbor and oftentimes copies them. We see the influence of this downstairs neighbor, first, in our dances. People everywhere are keeping time to the Latin-American rhythms of the songs, rhumba, and tango. If one of our neighbor's children came upstairs to visit us, I am sure he would find himself perfectly at home in the midst of a whirl of American dancers swinging away on one, two, three, kick. With these dances, we must of course, have Latin-American music. So we have found very popular during the past few months such tunes as Perfidia, Marquita Linda, and Frenesi.', These have spread through the country with lightning-like rapidity. Since ladies' fashions are always in the public eye and play a very important part in the American way of life, it is only natural that they too should be affected by this southern influence. In advertisements dresses are given rather catchy, picturesque names such as Rustiquita or Conchita. Such phrases as It's the South American way or Borrowed from Brazil are also used. These dresses are usually made inbold, splashy prints. Other items in the fashion world that have come into prominence through the influence of our Latin-American neighbors are earrings, kerchiefs, turbans, and those large straw hats called sombreros. 177 P Thrs Southern xnfluence 15 even reaching as far as our schools Prevlously only such languages as Latm, French, German, and Greek have been taught, but now we see more and more schools mcludmg Spannsh ln thelr curncula Members of the debatmg teams of varlous schools and collega have been argumg thrs year as to whether or not we should form a permanent unxon mth Latm Amenca as well as Canada.

Sally-Oh, yes, of course. While I'm out getting the papers, lill call up Franny Pillion as I promised her. She's Banker Robert Griffinfs private secretary now. fExit.j Julia-Jean, have you seen any of those Parisian styles?

Another girl who impressed me was Shirley Luckingham. She had a lot of endurance, too. She had to in order to stand Mr. Adler's awful puns. Jean- Joen T averna was a character. He was the one to see for an interesting, if blood-thirsty, book report. Dick-- Wulf, Patterson was one of the most dapper butcher-boys I ever saw. Jean--I always wondered why St7Ig,' Johnson used to stand outside Room 29 every day at lunchtime. Could it have been Miss Holbrooke? Julia-Ed Yungk made such a good Shakespearen actor in that Senior Night skit that he was offered a contract by the Moscow Little Theater Movement. They failed to move him. Jean-Speaking of moving.

Dick- Dot Morrison is teaching in the Physical Education division, too. Julia-Well, theyave accomplished what they set out to do! I was eating in Howard Johnson's last night, the one where Helen fankowski is the head hostess, and I also met Kathleen Holclridge. She's married now and has two little Kathleens.

There were just Barney Drain, Mary N ogas, and Doris Guild, with Alice as pin girl. lean-I never could understand why they found so much fun in bowling, but as Akabe Simonian explained to Margaret Sparveri, it's fun to knock down what somebody else sets up. Julia-She and Harriett Ray were forever explaining things, while Henrietta Sadowski smilingly encouraged them. lean-What fun we had when they tried to explain Harold Toubmann's mathe- matical mind! .lullkz-Oh, but we were a jolly class. Witness the joy of Vicky,, Siemionko, Agnes Sheehan, and Bina Murphy when the two o'clock bell rang. Dick--Yes, they always knew their dates better in the afternoon.

He designs new motors for Boeing. In his spare time he builds motor boats for the races. Sa.lly-What took you so long in getting here? Art-Well, I stopped off at the Paramount in New York, where Bob Buchanan and his orchestra now have the position formerly held by Glenn Miller. Dick-It looks as if a lot of our old friends are in New York now. Art-You said it! Why, just look at Orlando Gilberto and Priscilla- Bauer, the life-blood of the Metropolitan Opera Company. ,luluz-And then there's Helen Early, who is well known for her graceful dancing. Art--Yes, and Hanlon Borcynski has replaced Johnny Weissmuller in the New Acquacadef' while Eleanor Holm has been replaced by Evelyn Kruk. lean-How about the boys in good old California? Art-That reminds me-have you heard that Buck Jones has finally retired from pictures? Sally-Not really? Why, he's still a boy! - Art-Don't worry, though, because Robert Bla-ke is filling his place. You know he has been practicing up on his uncle's cattle ranch ever since he left us in the February group. Julia-Getting nearer to home, have you heard about the boys in government positions? Art-0-h, you mean Governor Frank Shukis? I see Viola Prosick is his private secretary. ' Dick-What else is going on in the line of elections? Art-Well, Martin 0'Toole is exchanging cigars and handshakes for votes. You know, he's running for Alderman's Assistant. lean--I read in the Times last night that Arthur Deyorio, the famous physician, performed a very delicate operation at the Hartford Hospital.

The magazine Poetry has just accepted Paul Dwin's l test, called A Study of the Foreign Mind in Domestic Situations? Nancy Lou Godfreyfs works are published universally, being acclaimed by all the critics. Her latest accomplishment is called Emotional Effects of a Day in June, or Gee, Ain't it Beautiful? ' I Attorney enters and greets all. 1 'Charles-Well, it's fine to see so many members of the Class of '4-1 together. Hello, Jean. Jean-Come, Lawyer Charles, lay down the law for our classmates. Art-Yes, Attorney Dabrowski, you know we haven't heard any legal news since Edward Starkowsky was on trial in that baseball pool case. Charles-Well, there haven't been any really big cases since then. How are you, Julia? Julia-Oh-, Ilm fine, Charles. Dick-That goes for all of us, Charles. Sally-Including the school secretary. Art--Well, Charlie, what's your story? I thought you were in Los Angeles with your big law firm. Charles-I should be there, but Ilm on a business trip for Wales Henry and Billy,' Burke. Art-You mean those millionaire playboys? Charles-Yes. They are financially embarrassedg so they sent me all the way across the country to probe the will of the Class of '4-1. They're wondering if they should have inherited a few more mints. Sally-Another will was found two years after graduation. We still donlt know which is the true one. Here's one of them.

Youth has brought joy Like sunlight prism-shattered Into scarlet laughter Q And blue-gold hope. Youth has brought joy And Pain has given wisely, Of silent hours, and loneliness And the soul's hunger. Sometimes I have plunged on Swiftly, carelessly, Full of errors blotting on the page And sometimes there has been another hand To guide the pen I hold within my own And I have marvelled At the strength of words I had not dreamed could be a put Of this, my poem. I have seen man-wrought wonders: Skyscrapers swaying high, Fragile webs supporting tons of weight. And greater still, the breathless sight Of sunlight through the trees, 0r quick-winged flight against the sky. My heart has thundered To the wild, victorious Fifth Beethoven dared, ' And I have lain awake on windy nights, Aware, intent, To hear the misty whispering Of green-tongued leaves.

NANCY Lou conmii? 188 ' f , 5 , . 14: - - g 4 ,1 gl , .1 ,ct It ' r l THIS DAY AND NIGHT All in this silent night that cradles death and sleep, The earth is sickened in one part T Where men strike deep her thudding heart, Where black-lipped cannon deafen sound 1 And shake the shadow on the ground, Where solid shafts of metal tears Are harvest reaped from seeded fears. All in this silent night, unstarred and slow of breath, Though war-fires smoke where cities die And heap their ashes toward the sky, Though fighting men orphan their souls Of Him who sets eternal goals, Yet peace must have another birth When chastened man reveres his earth. For evolution guides deep Nature's mood- From good comes better, and from evil, good. All through these silent nights the earth has lived too long To end in one dark night. All in this vocal day that keeps alert with light, The earth is blooming in one part Where greening life flows from her heart, Where that live sword, the bladed corn, Is from man's sowing newly born, Where hungry minds slip through their bars To feed on riches of the stars. All in this vocal day, sweet-scented, quick of breath, Though men who may not suffer pain Life's deepest cup will never drain, Though beauty pass their dazzled eyes And leave them only briefly wise, The earth's an open soul and door To those who never lived before. For evolution guides deep Nature's mood- From good comes better, and from evil, good. All through these vocal days the earth has joy too great To last but one bright day.

The highlight of the season came when the Newellmen almost beat New Britain. Led by fiery Captain Joe Oquissanti, we led Chick Sheais charges 12-0 at the half. Harold Parker and Tommy Reynolds made the first two tout-hdowns in five years. However. in the second half an inspired New Britain team came lmaelx to get two tout-hdowns and an extra point to win 13-12. With a host of such young players as Cagne, Pope. Reynolds, Parker, Heintz, Mt'Kone. Best. Larkin. and Zhorodni we should have fear of no teams.

Walsh, Waterman, and Uione led the attack. After winning three straight from New London Bulkeley, East Hartford, and New Britain, our team was defeated by New Haven Hillhouse 33-23. However, the second time they met, Hartford whipped them 51-34. Nick Diaelienlio, Captain Nate Wfaternian, and Harry Dolinski netted the most hoops. The Blue and White array then trounc-ed New Britain again 411-36, led by little Joe Depaolis. ln the eity series Hartford was beaten twice hy Bulkeley and onee by Weaver. The first Bulkeley game was a thriller, with Waterman and Diaehenko providing most of the hoops. Hulkeley. winning 34-31, will not forget Harry Dolinskfs fine defensive work. The seeond Vlleaver game was a see-saw battle whieh went into overtime. Dolinski and Dione were high scorers for the Blue and White. 198 Other players who did brilliant work are Jesse Lukas and Bill Walsh noted for their keen eyes, Arnold Lewis, Pete Zahorodni, and 'gRugged Joe B xltroms for their fine defensive worlc.

H Winning all their high school meets but one, the Hartford lads have put another feather in Coach Amann's hat. For previous to this season the swimming team has acquired six State championships. Because of the one defeat, Crosby High of Waterbury, Hartford was forced to share championship honors with Hillhouse of New Haven and Crosby. Ed Tevald, Hartfordis diving champ, has made a repeat performance this year by successfully defending his title as State Champion Diver. In the course of the season our relay team of Tevald, Kulpanowski, Sanlco, and Jacolis broke again their own state record. Graduation will also hit the swimming team hard, for with it go Ed Tevald, previously mentioned as State diving champion, Henry Borcynski, distance swimmer and diver, Ted Sanlio. speedy sprint man, Wales Henry and Ed Ziemba two excellent backstrokers, and Boh Condron, hreaststrolcer. But with Kulpanowski, Pierce, Bloom- quist, Bonee. and Handley returning. next yearis team should prove a success.

Having won fourteen straight games in two years, Q A T1 the team was upset by Weaver by a score of 5-2. Andy Tarast-io, Siegel, and Campo seemed to be the only ones who could hold their own on the cement court at Keney Park. However, the day before, the Perrymen had whipped New Britain 7-0. So far, this has made the total of sixteen victories against one defeat. TENNIS TEAM This year Hartford will send five players down to the State Tournament. The previous year HPHS took the title and we shall expect a repeat performance, with such stellar players as Captain Henry Leete, Jim Siegel, Andy Tarascio, Mike Campo, and Art Aroian. GOLF EEKINC again the city title, Hartford started the season in typical fashion, gi,-, '45 winning the first two games. 5 vi-. gl . . . . . . . L ,SZ In the opening contest, Nick Diachenko, living up to earlier expectations, proved the big factor in beating Manchester 18-0. He and Peterson won the individual rounds. Other scorers for the Blue and White were Welch and Maccarone, who combined for three points. Coach Kimballls array then went on to trounce Bulkeley l7-1, in their quest for the city title, Diaehenko, Peterson, Welch. and Brighenti proving too much for the Bulkeley boys. With such a fine start, and such fine athletes, the linksmen should have no trouble in taking the city and state championships. 201 TRACK TEAM TRACK 'x , LTHOUCH the schedule is still unfinished the Hartford track team is -If-17, headed toward another state championship. Let by the speedy sophomore, Vic Jarmolovich, in the 100-yard and 220-yard dashes, Ted Sanko in the pole vault, Ray Halsted in the high and broad jumps, Dick Scammon the quarter, Harvey Taylor and Dick Lemieux, in the distances the team has already captured three meets. Moreover, at the Connecticut relays the Hartford team took three out of five relays and broke a state record in the two-mile event with Lemieux, Sullivan, Hilliard, and Taylor doing the honors. At Wesleyan another record was shattered by Hartford's speedy 8-lap relay teams. I'm sure if we knew the results of the succeeding meets they would be similar to those mentioned. Graduation will be a blow to next year's team, for with it go Harvey Taylor and Dick Lemieux, two of the best distance men in the state, Ted Sanko, ace pole vaulter and javelin throwerg Dick Scammon, speedy sprinterg Ray Halsted, state champion high jumper, Steve Capone and John Pitrus, dependable field event men, Bob Sullivan, half milerg and Wes Whitham, another good high jumper. In the State meet Taylor set a new school record in the mile to cop the State championship. 202 STATE TRACK CHAMPIONS 1940-1941 TRACK RECORD Wesleyan Pre-Season Indoor Meetw-HPHS fourth Connecticut Relays: '880-yard relay . . . ..... won by HPHS 1-mile relay .... ..... w on by HPHS 2-mile relay . . . .... won by HPHS High jump .... ...., ........

It was a pitching duel between Tommy Keenan, Ti 'l a southpaw, and Eamon Kelly, a righthander. Hartford's only tally was knocked in by Lars Swahn. Starting in defense of their city title, our forces, under the stellar hurling of George Naktenis, whipped Bulkeley 6-2. While George fanned ten, Mascola and Dione led at but. In quest of their second victory of the season, Hartford drubbed East Hartford 10-2, behind the steady pitching of Keenan and Bob Reynolds, who limited them to but four hits. With such sluggers as Captain Nick Dione, Nate Waterman, Arnold Lewis, Bill Roraback, Lars Swahn, Harold Heintz and pitchers George Naktenis, Tommy Keenan.
