H ' iii 1 Democracy can only be strengthened by living ir. Our Student Council has certainly, through its miniature government, practiced democracy. This organization, one of the most important in Hartford High, has stressed close relations between the students and the faculty and so has done much to promote friendliness and cooperation in our school. We are proud of this achievement and of the well organized meetings, in which important, not trivial, matters were discussed. Mba Hffcianl Having an adviser as pleasant and cooperative as Miss Pritchard was most fortunate for the Council, since its success was largely dependent upon her under- standing and foresight. When she resigned this year, the Council, in order to show its gratitude, dedicated the Club Room to Helen Pritchard, for it was through her untiring efforts and inspiring guidance that such a beautiful room was acquired at Hartford High. She will long be remembered for her friendliness and graciousness.

After losing four of their first five games, they slowly gained top form, Hnally ending the season with a rec- ord of six wins and ten defeats. Their record was achieved through fine teamwork rather than individual performances. Matt Wallace, jim Griffin, John Chaponis, Dan Pinto, Al Carrier, and Checkers Santiglia certainly deserve commendation for their exceptional teamwork. Proof that they functioned as a team can be seen in the fact that no less than three of them were in the top ten in the district. Of the three, Wallace was tops, scoring 145 points. Crosby ........

Off to a good start, Coach Larry Amann's tracksters, led by Dick LeConche, Henry Tremblay, and Jim Harris, humbled New Haven Hillhouse 45M-ZSM, edged Weaver 36-32, and swamped Manchester 54-14. In addition to this regular competition, the HPHS tracksters defeated the Trinity freshmen 42 W-415, tied for fifth at the State Indoor Track Meet at Yale University, and by a score of 30M-28, wound up in second place behind Weaver at the Hartford High Invitation Indoor Track Meet. With Dick LeConche keeping up his good work in the 440, jim Harris and Bob Clarke in the 100 and 220 yard sprints, Henry Tremblay in the mile run, and Paul DiDom- ineco and Mike Boyington in the 880, Hartford High can again be proud of its track team and particularly of Coach Larry Amann. 122 1-,qi gg ma ul 1 5 -ml,-4 Jess-Qvunhy Coach Larry Amann did it again! His harriers concluded their cross-country meets with a respectable record of six wins and two losses. Led by Henry Tremblay and Robert Clarke, they won their first three meets in a row, beating Middletownl5-40, East Hartford 15-40, and Weaver 16-59. Following these, they lost two straight, to Bulkeley 30-25 and to Manchester 35-17, but quickly regained their winning stride in defeating Norwich 27-28, New London 25-30, and Bristol 25-30. In the Eastern lnterscholastic Invitation Meet, Hartford placed second with 70, Man- chester was hrst with 56. Seventh place was garnered by the HPHS harriers in the state meet with Manchester again taking first. Since this year's cross-country team was composed of all underclassmen, we can be sure that Coach Larry Amann will field a strong team to represent HPHS in the meets scheduled for next year. f Q f W X f N i ff f 'fi 1 S I o 0 O X +2 bg: X NX ,Y gf 6151 fig v N N - D ,JL C V V ,Q 5 M , 5 wx W 1 X Mb F X- Q , Q 0 WX I JI X 0 A ' XII ek J ff' X X 4, A 71 N Z A ff 121 Z' X f f!!

Hshizaw Halle? mf Wikis VIRGINIA SPUGNARDO C lan Treaxurer VIVIAN CHAVES Enayift LOUIS PIOTROVVSKI Orator L has yflffyfff ,yfzfhess By CARMEN ARACE Parents, Teachers, Friends, and Guests: My four hundred and twenty-two fellow classmates and I extend to you a most sincere and hearty welcome to this our Class Night. With the help of our historians, tonight the class as a whole can look back at the pleasant days spent here at HPHS. Many of the parents seated here this evening have had an active part in tonight's program. Many a mother remembers the first time she took her child to school, and planted him like a seed to be nurtured in the fertile environment of education. Planted with the hope that that seed would grow to majestic heights of maturity, bearing good and whole- some fruits, he personifies the sacred teaching, what things a man shall sow, those shall he reap. From that planting has come our growth. As the plant has approached maturity, it has borne some fruit, the fruit of knowledge. The dictionary says that knowledge is the clear perception of truth or fact. Our education has given us portions of each. We have had histories, ancient and modern, top give us facts. We have had algebra, geometry, physics, and chemistry to develop our ability to think, reason, and understand. We have had language , English as well as foreign languages, to develop our capabilities of expressing ourselves by the written as well as by the spoken word. According to this theory, education begins in infancy and terminates only when life ceases. It embraces all physical, intellectual, and moral growth or changes, as influenced by one's environment and experiences. Before we could even talk, we learned to cry when we were hungry. Such funda- mental reactions were changed by our parents into desirable behavior. Yes, even in infancy, we had education. In nature, when a tree is to produce fruit, it must be pruned regularly, have sun- shine, and use the various chemicals in the soil. A tree needs all these things to grow properly. Similarly we grow by using the experiences of our environment. Through our mistakes we learn to prune out our faults, in the sunshine of approval we expandg we absorb benefit from all the good about us. We have had the opportunities and experiences of a high school education. Further development will depend upon our use of experience in the future. 142 675255 cgsxay AMERICA, THE BEAUTIFUL By VIVIAN M. CHAVES This is America, a vast country of mountain ranges, mighty rivers, verdant valleys and plains, stretching from one ocean to another. In the rugged foothills of New Mexico is the largest system of underground caverns known to man, the spectacular Carlsbad Caverns. Breath-taking and unique Crater Lake in Oregon is another treasure of unsur- passed and scenic beauty, while in Colorado, the Grand Canyon, over a mile deep, is as indescribable as it is awe-inspiring. On the Pacific coast the giant redwoods, fifteen feet or more in diameter, reign as kings of the forest. just as impressive as these natural wonders are the mystifying geysers, hot springs, and volcanoes of the wilderness in Wyoming known as Yellowstone National Park. In one country alone all these are found. However significant America's natural beauties are, there are other factors which really make her great. These specific contributing factors, each of which is absolutely necessary for the nation's devel- opment and prosperity, we daily take for granted. For instance, without her abundance of natural resources America would be practically crippled and entirely dependent on other world powers for her sustenance. No matter where we look, our eyes behold the most magnificent resources. Emerging from the limits of an eastern metropolis like Cleveland, Ohio, teeming with people, skyscrapers, and fac- tories, we may find ourselves in the midst of rolling fields of wheat, alfalfa, and corn. Mile upon mile yield to our sight these products of the fertile soil, which help to make America the bread-basket of the world. Further West, in complete contrast to the vast, level, and seemingly endless plains, purple mountain majesties tower loftily toward the blue heavens, their snow-capped summits gleaming under the Nevada sun, their bases darkly shaded with the dense growth of evergreens. In the timberlands of the West are giant trees which supply valuable lumber for innumerable purposes. Plentiful oil fields scattered with massive derricks are gushing thick black petroleum from the depths of Texas and Oklahoma, while in the extreme north, one of nature's most generous gifts, the Mesabi Range in Minnesota, reveals its deposits of iron ore, waiting to be mined and converted into steel. Whether we look upon the prosperous fisheries of New England, the immense salt beds of Utah, the copper mines of Nevada, or the rich coal veins of Pennsylvania, it is evident that all these natural resources have helped to make America the strong, indepen- dent, and industrial nation that she is. May God shed his grace still more on America by crowning her good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea. 143 For a land that was once the home of savages only, who lived on her land fertility and her plentiful game supply, America surely has undergone a marvelous and startling metamorphosis in a great step towards civilization. Immigrants by the thousands have poured into her villages and hamlets, converting them into large industrial cities. Together, the descendants of numerous nationalities have learned to cooperate with each other in order to reap the copious profits offered them. They have converted their store of resources into profitable dividends. The valuable minerals and ores, while dormant, have been of no benefit to mankind. When these have been mined and processed, they are of great value as manufactured and consumer goods. Why have our people, whether they be identified by their Southern accent, Western drawl, or New England twang, been ever-willing to work and share all of America's opportunities? The common love of liberty has spurred them on. ' Edmund Burke said in America a love of freedom is the predominating feature which marks and distinguishes the whole, as exemplified in their laws and government, educa- tion and customs. Indeed, it was this very incentive itself which induced the Puritans to settle in a strange land. This love of freedom was common not only to the Northern colonies, but to the aristocratic South as well, for the remarkable thing about America is that all her citizens, regardless of their social rank, have contributed to the cause of liberty. In the annals of this country's history, we find such leaders as Washington, Jefferson, or Madison, each born with a silver spoon in his mouth, while equally as gifted was humble Abe Lincoln from the wilds of Kentucky and Illinois. These patriots knew that with every freedom or privilege they enjoyed, there was a tremendous responsibility also, the task of carefully guarding their precious ideals from the evil forces of the world: greed, hate, and jealousy. This in itself proved a constant struggle, yet by united effort, the United States has always been the victor, not only in the Revolutionary War, but also in two gigantic international struggles as well. This combination of beauty in America with her freedom-loving inhabitants has endured for approximately one hundred and seventy-four years under stress and strain to be sure, but nevertheless, indomitable. America now is probably the leading world power, but this achievement will be as hard to maintain as it was to attain, for superiority breeds envy and greed in other nations. And just as the Americans of generations past thought this nation worth fighting for and preserving for posterity, so we today are still ready to defend our country and keep her the guiding light of the world. By sharing our freedoms and spreading our love of liberty to others, perhaps we can effect a better international understanding where war will not be the only medium for settling agreements. This is really a challenge, the desired outcome of which is worth striving for if we wish to spread to our neighbors across the sea our vital message of freedom and if we wish to keep our America, the beautiful. 144 has Uzlmbfz THE Ponca or SPIRIT By Louis S. Piotrowski Man has undergone many changes from the moment he made his appearance on earth to the present day. He has changed a great deal from the crude, ignorant savage of the early Palaeolithic period to the well-mannered, intelligent person of today. His civilization has advanced with the maturing of his mind so that today he dominates what was once a huge empire of nature. He has harnessed water power, hewn down the timber to build his homes, unearthed coal, oil, minerals and made them a vital part of his existence. The world man lives in has changed with his discoveries, with the ingenuity of his inventions. Today the average citizen is surrounded by the radio, telephone, automobile, and a multi- tude of other ingenious devices. Years ago these common every-day conveniences we now enjoy were either completely unthought of or were considered to be just nonsensical inventions which would probably never amount to anything. These inventions have proved their worthg nevertheless, these inventions may be replaced in future years through man's advances in science. Although man's environment has undergone many a metamorphosis during the years, the chief characteristic which makes him the predominant force on earth has remained very much the same. This characteristic is his intangible, unconquerable, divine spirit. Although science has advanced tremendously and remarkable inventions have been the by-product of this advance, man is still the master of both. He is their master because the spirit of man is greater than his inventions or his discoveries. It was man's spirit which first made him venture out of the familiar Mediterranean, past the pillars of Hercules, later skirt the coast of Africa toward India, and finally cross the huge Atlantic to discover the unknown lands which blocked his passage toward the Orient. It was man's spirit which made the Pilgrims spend their first cold winter in this new country and inevitably conquer the barriers of nature. Spirit again made man face hardships which loomed before him as he pushed back the frontier and opened up the vast western plains which composed the rest of America. Time and time again it was this under- lying force which brought about the discoveries of man with their harvest of prosperity and achievement. The mighty force of spirit knows no bounds because it is greater than anything that can happen to man. It is greater than the worst disease, than the worst war. Because of man's spirit, he is able to brave jeers and torture to uphold his belief in his God, he is able to survive plagues, destructive floods, and earthquakes. Spirit has made him bear the brutality of being ruled by despotic powers until the day he could fight for his freedom. It has survived wars and losses, and has steadily moved on to ever-enlarging life. Today and in coming years people will be discussing the new dangers brought about by man's discoveries in the field of atomic science. I believe a certain amount of danger is involved. I believe, also, that scientists should proceed cautiously. But I am not disturbed, for I feel that man's spirit will find an answer to this new problem. Already data collected from reports on experiments with radio-active isotopes have been used in combating many diseases. The mammoth cyclotron is proving helpful in the light against goitre and leukemia. Who knows what can be accomplished in centuries to come through the magnifi- cence of man's spirit? Today two billion people inhabit the earth, people of all races and religions. They speak many different languages, they live in every corner of the earth. They think differ- ently and act differently. They are of all ages. They are illiterate, intelligent, ignorant, cultured. In many cases they seem to have nothing in common. But, although these people are diverse, the progress they have made has been an upward-reaching, forward movement toward a better world, for there is the same invisible element in all of them. They all possess that little spark of light God has placed in them, that divine spirit which makes them a little lower than the angels. e 142 Class Song lcl 5 O ana Mugilt by fgfflcli Mgg, Civ' J J C J J P J I J' 2 etTo 51' Thee, Hart ' ,Spf H a f-N J ugh, we Sins!

M A1'r1-naw WALLACE Black Dog ........ .............. R AYMOND JANKAUSKAS Prologue The action takes place on a pirate ship in the year 1975. The pirates have just cap- tured, looted, and then destroyed a likely-looking vessel flying a blue and white flag marked 1950. As the scene opens, we find the pirate ship now flying the prize flag, and the members of the victorious crew examining the captured ship's log. They are also looking at a large collection of letters which have been written to the defunct captain of the sunken ship- he was evidently the Permanent Secretary of the Class of 1950. These letters contain inter- esting bits of gossip and information about various persons who were in the Class of 1950 at HPHS. Finally, along with the log and these letters, there is a mysterious map which appears to indicate the location of a buried treasure. This treasure turns out to be the Class Vlill. Curtain Black Dog: I say. Look at this. I do believe it's the ship's log. Cobra: This ought to be interesting. Let's see what it says. We Hkhny Barnaby True: First entry, freshman year, fall term: The new bewildered class took one look at huge HPHS and promptly got lost searching for the school's fabled elevator. They went to their first football games. They chose representatives for the Student Council, and a freshman party was held, at which a number of future socialites blos- somed out. Black Dog: Second entry, winter term: Prospective journalists started in right by publish- ing a freshman newspaper, the first of its kind at HPHS. Already the-class was begin- ning to show promise. Barbados: Third entry, spring term: The first Freshman Night in the history of HPHS was held, with skits, prizes, and fun for all. Richard Riley made a hit as one of the scintillating Andrews Sisters. Blueskin: Fourth entry, sophomore year, fall term: Slowly it began to dawn on the class that there are other things to do at high school besides homework. Among the first to represent our class in sports was Jack Hanley, on the first string of the football varsity. Cobra: Fifth entry, spring term: Ushers were chosen for the junior Prom. A certain boy couldn't go because of a black eye. Said a door bumped into him. What an excuse! Blackbeard: Sixth entry, junior year, fall term: Class was now represented in numerous activities, including the Chronicle, Owlet, athletic teams, and school clubs. Jack Hanley was elected captain of the football team and HPHS beat New Britain for the first time within the memory of the oldest faculty member. Art Spada and Don Palermino started running around with their little black books, trying to dig up the latest news for their column in the Owlez. 'I47 Barnaby True: Seventh entry, winter term: Carmen Arace was elected President of the New England Student Government Association. juniors began to feel the weight of the social world on their shoulders, and they loved it. Blueskin: Eighth entry, spring term: Frannie Boyle and Carmen Arace were elected Queen and King of the junior Prom. Marshals were chosen for graduation, and ushers were chosen for the Senior Reception. juniors could hardly wait for the next fall, when they would own the school and operate it fmaybej. Barbados: Ninth entry, senior year, fall term: Back again for their last and their best year, the seniors began to forget what books look like. The year had a good start with very capable students being elected to the new Hartford junior City Council, of which Carmen Arace was elected Mayor. The Harvest Moon Ball was one to brag about, the tables on the sideline gave it a night club air. The football team was plenty hot, beating New Britain for the second year in a row and ending up as district champs. The whole school really had something to shout about at the Thanksgiving Rally and Dance. Black Dog: Tenth entry, winter term: Everyone noticed how good the Owlet and Chronicle were this year, and no wonder, with Maria Athanasiades and Vivian Chaves as editors. joan Keyes did a fine job on her Senior of the Week columns and Connie Coffey and Ginger Zimmerman started a spicy gossip column of their own. No one saw much of Miss Alderson's editorial board any more, because the members were spending all their spare time and more-in utmost secrecy, working on the Class Book-we think! Cobra: Eleventh entry: The winter term also brought one of the nicest dances of the whole year, the Yuletide. Everyone and his brother went, enjoyed the decorations, the music, and had a festive time. Winter means basketball, and the stars of our team were Matt Wallace, Checkers Santiglia, Chip Chaponis, and jack Griffin. The swim- ming team was proud of Bob O'Connell, who was undefeated in the breast stroke. But sports and dances can't make up the entire curriculum of the serious student Cor so they are toldj and so the faculty announced that there were to be half-year tests and soon! A general groan went up, but dutiful students set to work, cramming like mad. When that ordeal was over, ahead was Senior Night, with fun and relaxation for all Cseniors, that isb. About this time, the student body was informed that Miss Pritchard would retire, and although school would miss her, everyone appreciated what she had done for HPHS. Her successor as Dean of Girls was Miss Hanf, who arrived soon afterward to begin the tremendous task of meeting the seniors and other students, too. Blackbeard: Twelfth entry, spring term: About this time seniors started thinking, Gee, the last lap. And with the last lap came College Entrance Exams-three hours of slavery, but worth every minute of it to aspiring college students. The track team then popped into the limelight and admiring eyes turned to Dick LeConche who broke a couple of records, and jimmy Harris, the star of the 220 and the 100 yard dash. Next was the St. Patrick's Day Dance, at which many of the students were both amused and confused by the Virginia Reel, but enjoyed themselves, nevertheless. Art Spada stole the show and won first prize at the Batterson Prize Debate, with his 'incongruous mixture of coercion and restraint. The Boys Club show, The Roaring Twenties, had good attendance, and everyone was proud of what the HPHS boys could do. Not to be outdone, the Girls League put on a wonderful fashion show, which was attended by the girls and their mothers. This was followed closely by the annual Club Night, the pride and joy of HPHS. The audience thrilled to Ed Ericson's soulful performance as the lead in Snow White. Barnaby True: The last entry: What lies ahead? The whole class wish they knew. At a wonderful Class Night and Graduation, the seniors heard the good wishes of many friends, relatives, and every teacher, for a happy and successful future. ' Blueskin: That must have been some class that graduated in 1950. Barbados: l'll say. Hey-look at these letters! I'll see you later men- Blckbeard: Come back here. Let's see what they say. Barbados: Well, all right-here's the first one. 148 We fdlajfzfavy Barbados reads. Dear Sec., Well, I received your letter just recently, and I have much to tell you in reply to your inquiry about some of my friends and classmates. To begin with, Joan DuBrule and jim White, who were voted the best-looking girl and boy of our class, have been racking up beauty contest titles all over America and have just recently won the title of Mr. and Mrs. United States of l974. No doubt, you have heard that Norm Sarkisian and Al Koromanian, among others, are cheerleaders for that American League baseball team, called Roc's Deacons. This team has just piled fourteen consecutive world championships and has never lost a single game! Who are on this astonishing team but Jack Griflin, Tom O'Leary, Checkers Santiglia and Frank Cirullo-all members of our own class. And who do you think coaches them? That's right-Carolyn Arnold, cutest gal of our class. And surprise of surprises. Sonny Chudwick is assistant coach. I guess this information is startling enough so that I needn't write more now. Sincerely, FRAN CWait-in-the-Corridorb BOYLB. Blueskin reads. To the Sec., In reply to your recent letter I should like to tell you that I am the founder of the newest fad in schools. That scintillating first woman president, Virginia Zimmerman, gave the principal address on the opening day of my Learn to Stay Awake School. Among my students you will recognize Bill Hopke, jim Harris, Mary Pare, and Lois Rannou. All of them have amassed great fortunes since HPHS days and give all of their time and much of their money to me for this valuable educational experiment. Yours truly, JACK CMow-'Em-Downj HANLEY. Cobra reads. Dear Sec., Well, I've got a lot to tell you about some of the members of our class. First of all, a new way to the moon has been invented by our supersonic chemist, Lou Piotrowski. Don Palermino, Toni Rosi, Carol Matchett, and Irene Kaminski make the flight every night. They find it very instructive as well as quite pleasant. Secondly, you remember Tommy Lawler, the top tap dancer of out class-well, he has broken into movie stardom and has replaced Gene Kelly in his latest pictures. Rumors have it that he is the highest paid star in colorvision. Last but not least, have you heard that Bob O'Connell and Harry Ohanian just returned from the Olympic Games? Okey took a first in the butterfly event, and Harry surprised everyone-principally himself-by taking a second in the funny-style event. That's about all- K PAT CPolite-Politicianb DUGUID. Black Dog reads. To the Sec., In answer to your letter I should like to tell you that Sherwood Bothwell and Richard Ehman have patented a way to run automobiles by remote control. They also discovered Television on the Telephone. Imagine phoning friends and actually seeing them while you're talking! It could be embarrassing. Also, did you know that joan McCloskey has just been voted one of the ten best dressed women in America? And Nancy Clarke the smartest? And Pearl Mailloux the hardest working? Hoping you can use this information, MARY CAlways-Smilingj CARPINO. 'I49 Barnaby True reads. Dear Sec., I certainly have something sensational to tell you. jack Hanley was recently voted the best back ever to play football in the United States. They retired his number C0-0-OJ and Congress has voted that no football player shall be permitted to wear it again. The penalty is death. By the way, wedding bells chimed recently for Vivian Chaves and Rocco Ferro, for Jackie Bernard and Jack Greer, and also for Alice Lopes and Darrell Leighton. It's about time! Have you read the new book written by joan Keyes? It's entitled, My Evenings. Over 1,000,000 copies are in circulation, and it is now being sold in paper-covered editions printed at the press of Dave Wolansky. Sincerely, LOUISE 4Always-Keep-'Em-LaughingJ TYNDALL. Blackbeard reads. To the Sec., I want to tell you about Nancy Woycik, Betty Petersen, Peggy Glazier, and the Lien- hard twins, who have become professional models. They travel all over the world to show the less fortunate the beautiful clothes they model to perfection. On one of their trips they went in a jet plane piloted by the famous stunt flyer, Bill Burton. Also, Evald johnson, who made such a hit in the movies, now has a two-hour radio and television show. What a show! The audience is kept in stitches by his terrific jokes. But you said to be brief, so I am. Yours truly, CAROLYN CSwing-Your-Partnerj VANEVERA. Black Dog reads. Dear Sec., Dick jaquith has finally established himself as a modern Sam Sneed by winning all the principal golfing titles. Dick has popularized the push-drive in teeing off. Also, in the field of sports, Kitty Ouellette, Virginia Spugnardo, and Stella Mantolesky have just opened a badminton school. Among their regular pupils you will find such aspiring swatters of the bird as Roc Laraia, Steve Gleba and Fred Moffatt. Sincerely, RUTH A. QThis-One-Will-Kill-Youj HANSEN. Barbados reads. Dear Sec., Here's a bit of late news that has been related to me by that great girl reporter, Rosemary Livcaket, who has obtained world renown for her terrific columns in the numerous papers. To quote: Ed Bojor and Richard Coburn, the chemists, have found a new flavor for Pepsi- Cola. joe H Bonito has put Benny Goodman out of business. His prized band consists of such starlets as Frank jaworski, Donald Thibeault, Bob D'Abate, and Bob Ashley. Sincerely, ADRIENNE qGet-That-Giggleb CowLEs. Barnaby True: fAfter the last letterj Oh, here's another one. You might as well read this, too. Blackbeard: By the waves of the Bering Sea. This isn't a letter. It's a map. Blueskin: Map! Let me see that. I took a trip once. Barnaby True: I'll bet it's a treasure map. Cobra: Well, what are we waiting for-1et's go. CAII get in the boat and go in search of a treasure.J Black Dog: Pull together, men. Cobra: Why, this isn't very far from here. Blackbeard: Yeah, I think it's just about over here. CAll get outj. Barnaby True: CSounds of diggingj Start digging, Blackbeard. Oh, I can't wait. Blackbeard: I got it. I got it. Barbados: Open it-quick. just think-there are probably rubies and pearls and- Blackbeard: By the bones of bloodshot dead eye! It's just a piece of paper. Blueskin: Maybe there are some more clues on it. Read it out loud. 150 .7142 WM Blackbeardz We, the Class of 1950, being of unsound body and insane minds, do declare and attest this to be our last will and testament: Barnaby True: Carmen Arace leaves his administrative talents to Orlando Hines.
