Softly sing “Farewell” in parting-. As we leave the Hig-gins School, As we leave the halls of learning- “In quest of the best” will be our rule. Chorus Farewell Higgins! Farewell Higgins! Farewell Higgins Junior High, To our teachers, friends, and class- mates Bid we all a fond “Good bye.” Class Poem Our thoughts are sadly turning To the days that soon are o’er When we shall leave the Higgins School Which we have loved of yore. Our hearts are filled with sorrow To leave the dear old school; Our days are short, we all know that Our days of Higgins rule. We all are very sorry To leave the friends we know Because that school is where we learned To grow both strong and true. Farewell! Farewell to Higgins! Farewell to teachers, friends,. Our memories and pleasures With joy will never end. Apostle Bassos, 8A.

D. Higgins Junior High School. We believe that most of us have tried, to the best of our ability, to honor the school and to obey its laws. Our reason for this is that the school is one of the best in Connecticut and that we are justly proud of her. After our summer vacation, we took up our school work Sept. 15, 1924. On opening day, it was found that on account of the crowded conditions it would be necessary to put some classes on half session. Our classes began at 12.30 and closed at 4.30. This was not very satisfactory and we gladly welcomed the whole day sessions which began in January and continued for the rest of the year. During the year some pupils have been promoted and some demoted; some have moved away and some new pupils have joined the class. Our new members are Ethel Drake, Harold Berger, Thomas Smith. Soon after the opening of school the Student Council was organized with Joseph Naughton serving as president and Virginia Hyland, sec- retary. In the middle of the year the officers were changed and Henry Handy was elected president and Grace Mistretta secretary. The coun- cil has had its usual good effects, mak- ing the pupils self-reliant and devel- oping a spirit of cooperation. A pleasant event in the winter was our sleighride to Springfield. The weather and roads were just right for the occasion and all had a jolly good time in spite of the fact that some got snow-balled. We attended the THE TATLER 3 theater and had lunch in the city. We feel that we as a class have had the distinction of experiencing two important happenings new to our class and town. First, the total eclipse of the sun and second the transmitting by radio of the Presi- dent’s Inaugural Address. Through the efforts of Miss Clancy we were able to enjoy both. The eclipse came on Saturday but Miss Clancy gladly gave her time to come to the school and explain it to us and took us up on top of the school building that we might get a good view. M ien the day came for the In- augural we found that she had had a radio installed in the auditorium so that we might hear the address. These were both wonders of which our fath- ers never dreamed. Our assemblies for the year have been helpful and interesting. The first part of the year there was only time for devotional exercises but when we came to school on full time we had one half hour twice a week for meeting together. On Tuesday mornings Miss Clancy conducted the exercises and spoke on morals and school spirit. On Thursday mornings the pupils usually acted some play showing the nature of their work with different teachers. Some of the best plays have been: “It Pays to Be Thrifty” and “The Everyman’s Build a Home” showing the work in Arithmetic; a dramatization of “Treas- ure Island” showing literature work; “The Three Bears” by the French class; “From Frowns to Smiles” ex- plaining the value of proper foods as studied in the Domestic Science Class; “Washington the Surveyor” and “Incidents in the Life of Thomas Jefferson” showed the history work; “Where’s My Tooth Brush?” showing the hygiene class work; a musical morning under Miss Cope’s direction, an exhibition of physical training by Miss Ryan’s classes and many inter- esting and educational stereopticon slides have been shown. Turning to athletics. Miss Ryan has had charge of the gymnastic class work assisted by trained leaders. In the fall our football team met with success winning two games and tieing two. The baseball team organized in the spring choosing Clarence Pro- vencher, manager and Joseph Naugh- ton, captain. The team always played a clean and fair game but did not always win. On March 3 we met and formally organized as a class. Joseph Naugh- ton was elected president by a large majority on the first ballot. Virginia Hyland was elected Vice-President, Agatha Leger, Secretary; Dominick Lepore, Treasurer. At this time the monthly dues were decided as twenty cents and a gift and pin committee was appointed by the president. Our school concert took place in April and met with success in a ma- terial and financial way. All grades took a part but the principal feature was an operetta entitled, “Way Down South in Dixie” staged by the mem- bers of our class. The profits were over $150 and this was used to finance the baseball team. Our school paper, “The Tatler,” im- proves with age. Four numbers have been issued this year with the new feature of crossword puzzles. Through the efforts of loyal boys of our class our paper has been of a high quality and has paid for itself. In closing we thank our teachers for their help and guidance and we wish success to each member of our class. The inspiration from our teachers and such poems as Kipling’s “If” which we have learned and stu- died this year should keep us ever “In Quest of the Best.” Class Propliecy Time: 1945 One day, I began to wonder what had happened to all my old school- mates: it has been so manv years since I had seen them. Suddenly I thought of a way in which to see them and their surroundings. A new dirigible with a telelectroscope attach- ment had recently been invented, which enabled one to see any person GRADUATING CLASS THE TATLER 5 in any part of the world. I imme- diately made arrangements for a trip, which proved to be a most interesting one, and which was also the source of a great many surprises. First, looking into the telelectroscope, I saw President Dominick Lepore in the White House, accompanied by the first lady of the land, Virginia Hy- land. Dominick had been elected as chief executive by an overwhelming majority, and was a very satisfactory president. The next scene showed Anna Tar- ascweiz instructing a class in the art of cooking. Many years ago, when we were classmates in Junior High School, she had been a star in do- mestic science. I then saw Stella Padosek and Hel- en Nasuta at the head of the Chil- dren’s Aid Society, an association highly approved by leaders of public welfare. Next the scene shifted to a neat artist’s studio, in which sat Anna Skutnek, just working in the last strokes of a beautiful landscape. Again the scene changed, and I saw a cozy home in the residential sec- tion of Hartford, Connecticut, in which lived Grace Terry and Cla r- ence Provencher. Clarence had be- come a famous contractor and was among the most influential citizens of the city. I then focused the telelectroscope so that I could see one of the greatest radio stations in the United States, where a children’s concert was being broadcasted. It was led by Alice Swan, who had become popular as a reader. The next feature on the pro- gram was a livelv military piece, played by Sousa’s Band, and I soon recognized Henry Handy playing the cornet with great skili. Following this was a difficult selection of Moz- art’s, played by the distinguished violinist, Sylvester Buttone, who was accompanied at the niano by Agatha Leger who had also become a famous musician. Next I saw Dorothy Hayward, a comedienne of great fame, keeping the audience in a roar of hilarity at her funny gestures in a New York the- ater. I turned the telelectroscope in an- other direction, and in a well known musical academy, I saw Florence Hog- inski, the noted music teacher, seat- ed at the piano giying a lesson to one of her pupils. I then saw the Hon. Charles Bonelli in Washington, D. C., as Chief Just- ice of the United States Supreme Court, discussing a verdict with the justices, five of whom were John La- terra, Arthur Loney, Howard Craven, Lester Moulton, and Thomas Mooney. Looking into the telelectroscope again, I saw a richly furnished law- yer’s office, in which sat Benny At- tardi, dictating to his private secre- tary, Cecelia Cummings. The next scene showed an assembly room where an important debate was flroing on between two political par- ties. I recognized one of the speak- ers as Myron Spazzarine earnestly arguing a point with one of his op- ponents. Next I saw Mary Rarus, as an Eng- lish teacher in a Boston school. She seemed very busy with her pupils, and she evidently enjoyed her occu- pation. The “Wonder Beauty Shoppe” was then brought to my view, and Stasia Woronecki could be seen manicuring finger nails of a stylish-looking gen- tleman. Beatrice Blowen, as Madame Beatrice, was head of the hairdressing denartment. I then focused the telelectroscope so that I could see a hospital, where Althea Barton, a trained nurse, was caring for Felix Market, an aviator, who was rapidly recovering from the effects of a fall. The next scene showed a shoe man- ufacturing establishment in Brockton, Massachusetts, owned by Arthur Mat- te. His priyate secretary was Brenda Bishop. Again looking into the telelectroscope I saw a huge baseball diamond, where a game of arreat importance was go- ing on. Richard Chillson could be plainly seen just com pleting the final dash of the home run which deter- mined the game and won the pennant for the Washington “Senators.” A little later T heard someone remark that John Rayenola and John Quinlan 6 THE TATLER were stars of the famous “Red Sox.’ The next scene showed a laboratory, where I could disting’uish Vinci Lan- za, surrounded by numerous appar- atus and solutions, working- steadily on a very promising invention. She had already made several small in- ventions which had proved success- ful. Again the scene shifted and I saw a large schoolroom of second grade pupils, with Gladys Livingston as the teacher. Next I saw Julia Novack and Mary Quinn, in their neat little dressmak- ing shop, making a gown of blue silk to be worn by Helen Olmstead, at the Strand in New York, where she was to sing. The scene in the telelectroscope then changed, and I looked into the library of one of the wealthiest homes in Chicago, and saw Roland Duprey, in- dustriously studying from a large medical encyclopedia. He had evi- dently become a successful surgeon, and had won fame all over the United States. Then I saw a large, richly fur- nished, business office. Josenh Naugh- ton was seated at the desk with his private secretary, Dora French. Jos- eph had become Business-Manager of the Bigelow-Hartford Carpet Co. of Thompsonville, Conn. The telelectroscope then brought to my view the Winter Garden Theater in New York, where one of the lat- est dramatic successes was being por- trayed on the stage before an eager and enthusiastic audience. I recog- nized Grace Mistretta, playing the leading role with skill. I next saw Pauline Fanelli, a French teacher in an exclusive girls’ seminary. She had always done well in French when she was in the A. D. Higgins School. Again looking into the telelectroscope I saw a beautiful estate in the Con- necticut Valley, surrounded by many acres of tobacco land. On the vine- covered side porch of her home was Carrie Emanuel, entertaining some of her friends. I rested my eyes for a moment; then, looking into the telelectroscope, I recognized Angelina De Venero and Anna Alongi, who were two of the most prominent dancers of the Follies in New York. Then I saw Joseph Portenski and his assistant, Ernest Gunther, accur- ately surveying some of Julius Pol- oski’s ranch land in the West. In the cook’s cabin at the rear of the large ranch house was Joseph Gwodz cooking the midday meal. Looking in another direction I saw two middle-aged men who looked rather familiar. Suddenly it came to me that they were my former class- mates, Peter Buttocavoli and James Bellomo, who had been touring Eur- ope as artists, and were now paint- ing a beautiful sunset scene at Naples, Italy. Presently I saw Apostle Bassos, now u noted politician, making a speech which was being broadcasted by Albert Beilitz’s newest invention in rad’o. The latter had become a world-famous radio expert. Then there was a blank; then a scene flashed in the midst of space, showing Robert Gourlie, Dean of the John Hopkins University at New York, in earnest conversation with Emil Bayek, Professor of Physiology, and Joseph Kalva, a teacher in chem- istry. Next I focused the telelectroscope so that I could see a train, operated by Ralph Van Nostrand, who had be- come an engineer. In a pullman car I saw Wilson Price, Benny Reveruzzi, and Klemans Kalva, comfortably seated, discussing topics of the day, and apparently enjoying themselves. Evidently they had become traveling salesmen and were employed by the Skinner Satin Corporation. I next saw Chester Brainard, ex- perimenting with various plants. He had become an expert in his occupa- tion, and was known as the “Plant Wizard.” He had made many dis- coveries which helped in producing the best quality of fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Then I saw the inside of the Na- tional Institute of Social Dancing in Chicago, with Jane Greaves as head instructor. Across the street was the Chicago Public Library, and I soon recognized Marjorie Carson sitting at CLASS OFFICLRS President Joseph Naughton Secretary Agatha Leger Vice-President Virginia Hyland Treasurer Domineck Lepore BASF BALL TEAM 8 THE TATLER the desk, as head librarian, talking to one of her assistants, Lillian Snyder. Then I looked into the children’s room where two young ladies were busily arranging books on the shelves. To my surprise I found them to be Cath- erine Wialy and Sophie Bok. I then turned the telelectroscope in another direction, where I saw a girls’ gymnasium in a Y. W. C. A. There I saw Eunice Green, my former classmate, who had become one of the foremost physical instructors in the country. The next scene was a very modern and well-kept garage, in the office of which was seated Gordon Chappell, the owner, talking to Michael Liucci, an agent for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. In another part of the garage I recognized Harold Berger working on a very expensive car. He seemed to have attained the position of head mechanic. My telelectroscope next showed me an observatory in Ohio, where Mary Stinson and Ethel Drake were ex- amining several newly discovered planets through a huge telescope. They had become well known among the famous astronomers of the time. The next scene showed Elsie Steele, entertaining some guests at her home in the suburbs of Boston, by several ukulele selections. I next saw a man whom I recog- nized as Matteo Alaimo, owner of a great meat packing establishment in Chicago, talking to his accountant, Stuart Jordt. The next scene showed a telephone office in one of our largest cities, and among the numerous operators I dis- tinguished Charlotte Schoppe, busily plugging in for long distance calls, and receiving answers. In another great city, an anniver- sary was being celebrated by a parade and other festivities. Leading the parade was Henry Angell, in his uni- form, which denoted that he was of the Aleppo Drum Corps of Boston. After a moment an entirely differ- ent scene appeared before my eyes. Riding through a forest was a group of hunters, following close behind the hounds. I immediately recognized Stanley Baj leading the hunt. The next scene showed Doctor Hes- ley Lyons in a large hospital, talking with two of his nurses, Mary Raffia and Rose Nigro. Then I saw Margaret Knight read- ing over a recently completed manu- script which she had writtten. She had become famous as an author of girls’ books. The telelectroscope then brought to my view the Barnum Bailey and Ringling Bros. Circus, now managed by Rocco Sarno. Among the actors who were practicing for the next per- formance I was able to distinguish Lavia Patrevita, a skillful tight rope walker, and Douglas Thompson, a clown well known to the public. Again the scene changed and I saw a picturesque gift shop situated in a pretty spot on the Mohawk Trail. It was kept by a clever young lady, known to tourists as “Madamoiselle Jeanne,” but whom I discovered to be Dorothy Colson. The telelectroscope next showed me the office of Kenneth Sheldon, Secre- tary of Agriculture. Seated at his side was his stenographer. Hazel Blowen, taking notes. In another city a similar scene pre- sented itself. Horace McGovern, gen- eral manager of the United Fruit Company, could be seen dictating to his private secretary, Evelyn Kamin- sky. I then focused the telelectroscope so that I could see a theater, where a minstrel show was going on before an attentive audience. Immediately I knew the leader to be Baldassare At- tardi, who had won fame for his abil- ity to sing old negro melodies. Next I saw a large laundry, owned and superintended by Anna Bruno and Anna Swiatowski, who had gone into partnership and were able business women. The next scene showed a great cot- ton plantation, managed by Normand Pryor. The joint owners of this prop- erty were Lillian Cope and Mary Ar- ventely. The telelectroscope next showed me a large department store, and I soon discovered Arthur Blackburn in the office marked “General Manager.” I then saw Emelia Jedziniak at the head of the woman’s department. Then, looking into the telelectro- THE TATLER 9 scope, I saw a millinery shop where many smart styles were created. It was run by Ofeglia Casinghino and Louise Luke. Next I saw a large market garden in New York state, where all sorts of vegetables and fruits were raised. Many workmen were employed by the two owners of the business, Sam Frangimore and Stanley Trachimo- wi cz. After seeing all my classmates in their present surroundings, I heaved a sigh of relief, for I was satisfied with the surroundings in which I saw them, all so prosperous and successful. Class Jingles Matteo Alaimo What would happen to Alaimo’s store If Matteo wasn’t there to sweep the floor. To sell the canned goods and the beans, Also the potatoes, vegetables, and greens.

Normand Prior Oh, a shiek is Normand Prior, Not athletic, over much; But the girls just keep on staring At ‘The skin you love to touch.” Wilson Pryce Wilsogri looks so quiet As he passes through the hall. But if you think he’s quiet You don’t know him at all. John Quinlan John Quinlan is in our class. And he winks at every lass. When it comes to recitation He carries on a mean flirtation. Mary Quinn Mary Quinn is a mighty fine maid. And very mischievous, too; Of humming in school she is rather fond. Classmates, I leave it to you. Mary P.attia Mary has dark brown hair And big brown eyes — a lovely pair; She does her work with greatest care. And in everything does she share. Mary Rarus Mary Rarus, smart and bright. Studies her lessons every night. She comes to school each day And never stops to laugh or play. John Ravenola John Ravenola, tall and lean. With the baseball nine is seen. He sometimes makes a good home run And makes the score four to one. Benny Reveruzzi Benny, Benny, Benny, Said Miss Taggart with a smile. Why don’t you study your lesson And make yourself worth while. Rocco Sarno Rocco Sarno of 8A Does his lessons through the day. He’s not so silly as other boys. And never makes a lot of noise. Charlotte Schoppe Charlotte in all activities partakes. And everything is good that she bakes. She can smile any time. And her acting is really sublime. Kenneth Sheldon Kenneth has a good bass voice. And over A’s he’s sure to rejoice.

To learn her lessons, every one, She rises each morning with the sun. Lillian Snyder Lillian does not like to roam In fact, she’d rather stay at home. To do her work and have it right She’d study through the night. THE TATLER 15 Myron Spazzarini Myron Spazzarini is a good debater, And also a regular girl hater. An orator he’ll some time be, Just you wait and then you’ll see. Elsie Steele Elsie Steele is a girl quite shy. But in gymnastics is very spry. She can beat them all in running, And in her gym clothes is just stun- ning. IMary Stinson Mary Stinson, neat and prim. Is bound to excel in gym. She is pleasant and studies hard. And gets all A’s and B’s on her card. Alice Swan Alice Swan will be a star And be famous, near and far. Then we’ll go to see her play And a high price surely pay. Anna Swiatowski Anna Swiatowski of 8C Is as slow as she can be. But for boys she does not care, And in her subjects — she is fair. Anna Tarasuercz Our Anna’s very bright, Yes, and quite jolly, too. And though you search thro all the school Girls like her you’ll find but few. Grace Terry Grace Terry is a little vamp. She vamps them by the score. Wouldn’t you think she’d get tired. But no — she vamps them all the more. Douglass Thompson Oh, Dougy, can you tell us why Your coloring is so very high? Tell the girls just what you use. Now, Dougy — don’t refuse. Stanley Trackimovicz There is a boy in 8B And his name is Stanley T. His hair is of a reddish hue. And with foolish questions he’ll beat you. Ralph Van Nostrand Ralph Van Nostrand is a funny chap. He makes maple sugar out of sap. He’s fair in all classes And in most subjects he passes. Catherine Wialy And then comes our Catherine, Who’s as quiet as a lamb. She never makes a bit of noise. But just the same she can. vStasia Woronecki Stasia is a cheerful lass. Who never has the blues; She has a smile for everyone. Now isn’t that quite true?
