Together we’ve often toiled through hardships And enjoyed many a happy day. Now our hearts are filled with sorrow For we have to go away. There will be many coming after us To carry on the work we’ve begun; But with you, dear old Higgins A great friendship we have won. When traveling life’s rugged highway We’ll hold fond memories of you; And to our motto we’ll be loyal And to you we’ll be ever true. Francis Quinn, Grade 8B1. CLASS HISTORY Fearing lest the deeds of the Class of 1930 be forever forgotten by the marvels of the present, we, the Class of 1930 of the A. D. Higgins Junior High School do hereby relate said history and place it in the safe de- posit vault of the A. D. Higgins School with other valuable documents for the children of future generations to see and marvel at. On September 16, in the year of our Lord, 1929, with much am.bition and with hope of gaining fame we 6 THE TATLER entered the portals of the Higgins School. It did not take us long to get acquainted with both pupils and teachers and in a little while we were filing from one room to another, feel- ing quite at ease. One of our first duties was to or- ganize a student government to help the school. Officers from each class were chosen who met with Miss Cl ancy every other week to discuss matters concerning the school. The organization was called a Student Council. At the first meeting, “The Moral Code for Youth” was chosen which served as a body of laws to guide the class. This was the first time the code had been used in our school. Among the additions to the staff of our school was a school nurse. Miss Patience Love. Everyone was glad to extend a welcome to her and later appreciated her hard work. Hoping to earn money for our school, we decided to have a magazine drive. The Reds and Greens were the two sides who competed with each other. The score was 190-152 in favor of the Greens. This proved success- ful and the money earned w as put into the school treasury. As we recall memories of our as- semblies, they seemed very interest- ing. A minstrel show given by our best comedians proved very entertain- ing. It was here that our orchestra made its first appearance. The pro- gram was made even more interesting by the music furnished by them. The organization of our library was a very interesting task. With the help of Mrs. Coykendall and the cooperation of the teachers and pu- pils a library was soon established. We extend many thanks to the pre- vious graduating classes who pre- sented us with the money for which the books were bought that we en- ioyed reading. Clubs were soon organized, not only for recreation but also for valuable instruction in the use of our leisure time. On March 6, 1930, a Spelling and Prize-Speaking Contest was held in the Hazardville Grammar School. Bernice Sisitzky a classmate of whom we are proud, was successful in win- ning a prize. As basketball season drew near, the boys entered into the spirit of it and organized a team. Under the supervision of Coach Rudert the team was soon able to play other teams successfully. One day they came back with a cup, the proof of champion- ship. One other success of the year was a cantata, “The Courtship of Miles Standish,” given to our parents. The leading characters: Priscilla, John Alden, and Miles Standish proved in- teresting. All the children wore pil- grim costumes, making the picture on the stage more real. By this time a Graduating Class was organized. The officers chosen at the meeting were : President, Law- rence Smith; Vice-President, Anna Buika; Secretary, Katherine Kot and Treasurer, Allyn Gourlie. At our meeting held on May 22, we chose for our Class Flower, the American Beauty Rose and for our motto, “Not at the Top, but Climb- ing.” At another meeting we decided to go to see the Capitol, and also Capitol Park in Hartford. Soon the day arrived for our pic- nic. We had a very good time and returned home tired but happy. Busy days followed, getting ready for one of the biggest events in our life, graduation. Decorated with the class flower, the American Beauty Rose and the school colors blue and white, the audi- torium was a pretty sight. The exercises w’ere held, diplomas, and gifts were distributed. Then with tears in our eyes and hearts filled with sorrow we departed from the school of so many pleasant memories. A scrub-woman applied to a lady for work. “What do you charge a day?” the lady asked. “Well, mum” was the reply, “a dol- lar and a quarter a day if I eats my- self, and a dollar if you eats me.” Excited lady rushing into doctor’s office. “Oh, doctor, please hurry; my little girl has just swallowed a needle.” Doctor — “Must you have the needle right away, madam?” A. D. HIGGINS JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL 7 THE CLASS PROPHECY Seated before the fire was a middle- aged man. He had the air of success- fulness about him. On his lap lay a book of old pictures which he had been looking at. As he closed the book he sighed and said, “I wonder what profession or occupation they have followed up.” Just then Rose Milo, the maid, entered, “A radio- gram for you, sir,” she said. After hastily scanning the paper, he said, “That’s one of the wildest flights of imagination I’ve ever heard of. Wants me to accompany him on his flight to Mars. That’s nonsense. Well, it’s signed Bryce Leggett. He has also enclos ed a list of his crew, all old classmates of mine, heading the list is : Raymond O’Brien, master mechanic, Jaynes Johnston, chief en- gineer, Francis Shea, pilot, Eugene Field, navigator, and Charles Trapa- nese, second steward. Well, if it’s successful as ‘Allyn Gourlie’s Picture Radio’ it might be worthwhile. Here goes, I’m game,” and Donald Gourlie wrote his reply which was telephoned through Doris Reil, an operator at the local exchange, to Alfred Poho- rylo, manager of the telegraph office and sent by him to Sam Buttacavoli telegraph operator in New York. The next day Donald boarded an electric train, capable of 300 miles an hour, invented by Kenneth Cowles and driven by Lewis Stinson. On the train he met Dorothy Cunningham on her way to her music studio, Stella Cybulski and Jennie Parvelac on their way to work in the office of the Emil Greenblatt Tailoring Co., and Gene- vieve Zemont, ready for a hard day’s work at her own dress shop where she v as assisted by Margaret Tarasavitch and Cora.bel Oliver. He also recog- nized the conductor, Joseph Typro- tvicz, and the trainman, William Hil- ditch. When the train arrived at his station Donald got off, hailed a taxi which was driven by Joseph Loguidice and soon arrived at the ‘ ' Lawrence Smith Airport, Inc.” As he stepped from the cab, he was greeted by an old time friend, Robert Bohman, who had just arrived with the intention of seeing the new electric farm plow which had been invented by Andreiv Krause and was being demonstrated by John Castoldi for the William Yesukiewicz Farm Implement Co. This plow was capable of plowing two hundred acres an hour and as Robert was on the National Board of Agriculture, he was greatly inter- ested in it. He said he had met sev- eral o f his former classmates who were successful farmers. Among them were: Tony Poloski, Felix No- wak, Stanley Hall, Charles Smith and Edwin Cybulski. In going around the airport, Donald met many other classmates. In one office he met Katherine Kot and Helen Viniconis, secretaries for Jolm Henry, director of business affairs at the port. At the information desk he met Pojjpy Raissi who gave him directions and sent Sam Rinaldi, port guide, to show him around. When he visited the engine and assembling room he met Paul Sarno, Joseph Zawada, Merrill Bent, Frank Rug- giero, and Charles Milkowski. Edward Wojnar, a messenger at the port, arrived at the engine room to tell Donald that Prof. Leggett de- sired his presence at hangar No. 5. Upon reaching his destination he was given a short but hearty greeting by Bryce who seemed anxious to be off. He guided his friend into a queer machine not unlike a submarine. As the doors were shut by Frank Zekow- ski they were bolted, riveted and then welded with a sort of blow torch which was welded by mechanic Charles Rybick. As they were about to hop off John Carroll, a representa- tive for the New York Times, drove up. He wanted statements and pic- tures which he secured with the able assistance of his co-workers: Sophie Doyker, Mary Giorgiole and Bernice Knox, members of the editorial and pictographic staff. After what seemed a very short time in the air Donald found to his surprise that he was 1,000 miles from earth and still going. Bryce suggested that he take a walk around and meet the other members of the crew, the scientists and the ship’s orchestra. In the laboratory Donald found Shirley Schoppe busy register- CLASS OF 1930, JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL Photo by Knox A. D. HIGGINS JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL 9 ing the atmospheric changes on a queer instrument similar to a barom- eter bearing the name Porcello’s Wonder. In the course of their con- versation, they drifted back to days at Higgins and began to compare notes. Donald learned that Mellie Pnlilla was owner of a department store in Enfield and her head sales- lady was Antoinette Muratore, that Victoria Nowak had just written a book on Farm Life, that Charlotte Augustyniak was principal of the A. D. Higgins School and other members of the faculty were: Stella Wojnar, teacher of Mathematics, Margaret Frew, head of the Domestic Science Department, and Mary Dynia, Sec- retary to Supt. of Schools, John Kazmierski. Another successful busi- ness woman was Demetria Vasila- costa, owner o f a large popcorn fac- tory, who employed several form.er classmates Emma LaMore, Stella Pohorylo, Kathemne Petrnkis, Sophie Walenta and Nellie Kostek. In the next room, an orchestra re- hearsal was in progress and to Don- ald’s amazement he found the ship’s orchestra was almost the same or- ' hestra which had played at Higgins. He was greeted by John Mish, Michael Reveruzzi, Robert Smith, Robert Hardy, Edmond Cybulski, and William Norewski. After rehearsal, the entire party, with the exception of Edivard Pohorylo, assistant pilot, Edivard Mullen, master mechanic, and the rest of the crew, adjourned to the dining room where a fine meal was served by the two chefs, Leo Zirolli and John Nosal, former mem- bers of the boys’ cooking club. After dinner, Steward Clair Tomaszek tuned in on the picture radio and succeeded in getting the World Series in time to see Walter Ligenza knock out a home run bringing in Albert Nobonzy scoring two runs which wrested the pennant from Walter Typronsay’s teams and gave it to Manager Edmund Kukulka. Um.pire Herbert Blotven announced the score and announcer, Jane Zaczyk, bid the audience good Heimoon. Tuning in on another sta- th ' by discovered that a benefit program under the direction of Shirlee Sisitzky, a society lady, was being an- nounced by Statia Jedziniak. They listened to an interesting talk by Elizabeth Barber, on “How to Grow Tall,” several songs by Florence DeCaro, accompanied on the piano by Jidia Kozial, two piano solos by Caro- lene Bailey, a short illustrated talk on art by Mary Zareski and a group of songs by a girls’ chorus consisting of Helen Hydack, Mary Talnak, Ger- trude Lehmann, F7 ances Wasowicz and Parvilia Vallides. The program ended with a reading by Clara Czy- zewska. As it was late, Bryce suggested that the party retire for the night. In the morning when Donald awoke his eyes rested on a scene of extreme hustle and bustle. Asking the reason, he was informed by sub-stewart, John Cygan, that Mars had been sighted two minutes before. Just then the ship rocked and soon stopped all together and they knew that Mars had been reached. All members, of the party donned heavy suits some- thing similar to diver outfits and started on their exploration. Sud- denly one of the members gave a startled exclamation, there in front of him was the queerest creature ever imagined. Mere words could not describe it. Bryce tried to talk to him but of no avail. Finally he suc- ceeded in getting him to understand why they came and the figure mo- tioned to Bryce and Donald to follow him. They did and were conducted to a small queer structure which proved to be a scientific laboratory. The creature directed the men to look through two large telescopes, they did and to their utter amazement could see all parts of the world. Here are some of the people that they saw in the world. In a Boston Beauty Shop was seen Jean Helmar dem.onstrating the new Bania Face Cream, Mabel Kurley giving a wave to Anna Tenei ' owicz who had just left her dressmaking shop, Annie Blondek was manicuring the nails of Josephine Romano, a drawing teacher in the schools of Boston. In a large hospital in Albany were seen the following who had followed nursing: Lillian McQuillan, Hilda Schoppe, Edna Jordt and Benedicta Gudaitis. In other parts of the hos- pital were seen Veronica Gucwa, sec- retary to the superintendent and in 10 THE TATLER the same office M arga ' et August. In the kitchen was found Victoria Skaw- renski, cook. In the flower shop in Chicago was seen Florence Avery and Frances Maggio. Bernice Sisitzky, a famous motion picture actress in Hollywood. Eugenie Sasow, a teacher in a private school in New Jersey. Margaret Schneider, a stenographer in an insurance office in Hartford. Joseph Zyck, proprietor of a large restaurant, in Detroit, Christine Sarno, cashier and Marga- ret Viniconis, head waitress, assisted by Veronica Garstka and Myrtle Olfchafskie. Dorothy MacFawn, a kindergarten teacher in Boston. Roland Robillard, a successful busi- ness man resting in his home on En- field Street reading a book of poems written by Francis Quinn. Charles Cascia, owner of a large barber shop in Springfield with Vincent DiRosa and Antonio Demi, his assistants. Margarette Landry, dancing in a Broadway Musical Comedy and in the same company were: Pauline Caramazza, Vincy Vesce and Thelma Qui nlan. In a large department store in San Francisco they saw many clerks whom they recognized: Mary Arabek, Shirley Walker, Genevieve Miiich and Lillian Adams. In the dress depart- ment they saw Eleanor Furey, a model, showing a dress designed by Annie Sperrazza. Biaggio Bellico, manager of W. F. Grant Co., store in Enfield. Evelyn Bilodeau, Carmela Bosco, Vivian Carson and Edith Jennings, employed in the office of the Bigelow- Sanford-e ftc fec Carpet Co. in Thompsonville. William French and Charles Nico- ra, artists for a large newspaper con- cern in Atlantic City. In the same office were Jennie Bak and Karo line Pilch quite prominent journalists. In the proof reading room were found Sophie Mastalisz and Frances Novak. At the Baltimore Y. M. C. A., Edgar Miller was directing athletics. Way down in Florida they saw the sign Gray’s Real Estate Co., and no- ticed that the office girl was Mary Klebosky. In Hollywood another sign at- tracted their attention “No Spots at This Scott’s.” In one of the large motion picture houses on the same street sat Mary Calcasola in the box office, and in the theatre were: Rose Siemonoko, Karo- lyn Struziak, Josephine Szarek and Mary Caronna busily ushering the patrons to their seats. Back again to Thompsonville, they found Mary Vella and Cecelia Wojcik in charge of a very nice candy store. When the two arrived back to the ship there was so much to tell the others that the flight back to earth seemed but a minute. News of their wonderful flight had spread and the airport was the scene of intense ex- citement. Police Commissioner Jo- seph Krzys was called upon to restore order and Lieutenant Francis Cimino with the aid of four plain clothed policemen Joseph Romano, Andrew Prayzner, Anthony Pascucci and motorcycle officer Edward Manning answered the call and soon order took the place of chaos. Members of the Reception Committee were: Mayor John Galimberti, Vincent Shea, a prominent business man, Anna Buika famous woman aviatrix and Frank Kwapien, chief of police. Newspaper workers were again in evidence, but this time the New York World had first choice. Margaret McGarr, Alice Garstka and Mary Bezak were doing their best to collect interesting news items. These reports were sent back to the news office where they were typed by Ivy Heald, reread by Norma Best and recopied by Honorata Piorek. A rousing welcome was given the party, speeches, cheers and music filled the air. The final tribute was the firing off of a large cannon to salute the first adventurers to Mars. A loud report was heard, a middle- aged man stirred in his chair before the fire, rubbed his eyes and looked around in a perplexed manner. Then his eyes fell on the photograph book which had fallen to the floor. He chuckled and said, “Boy, what a trip! I wouldn’t have missed it for the world!” A. D.

He asks them just to have something to say. Edward Pohorylo Everybody thinks Edward is quite smart, you know. Maybe it’s because he likes History so. Edward likes to talk and fool. But just the same he’s in time for school. Stella Pohorylo Stella is a smiling lass. Prepared for work in every class. And in the morning when to school she does come.

Andrew Prayzner Andrew is liked by small and tall For he is fair and square to all. The Yankee team some day he’ll make. And Babe Ruth’s record he will break.

That is why she has no time to play. Frank Ruggiero Frank Ruggiero is a good-looking lad. We all know baseball is his fad. And to almost everyone it would seem He’ll be second baseman on our team.
