Little do we realize that they are the happiest days of our lives. If only we could re-live them, I am sure we would do so with a great deal more appreciation and respect. On this, our class day, we, the gradua- ting class of 1953 wish to wander back through the four golden years at K.H.S. FRESHMAN YEAR How new and strange! A different teacher for each class, extra-curricular activities, chang- ing rooms for each subject-all of this intrigued us. Fresh and innocent, we were determined to get adjusted to our new way of life. It was on October 4, 1949 that 125 members of the freshman class held their first class meet- ing under the supervision of Mr. Frederick Oliva. The following officers were elected: pres- ident, Raymond Ben, vice-president, Bradley Howard, secretary, Elaine Cowles, treasurer, Bruce Howard, and historian, Gail Demoran- ville. On February ll, 1950 the freshman class presented its first class assembly in the form of a comical one-act play entitled Elmer . The entire production was under the supervision of Mr. Earl Leach, and Mr. Frederick Oliva, class advisor. March 17, 1950 was an exciting evening for the freshmen. We presented our first class dance - Shamrock Shindig . To keep in with the holiday, the gym was gaily decorated in green and white with a huge shamrock as the main attraction in the decorations. Everyone had a wonderful time dancing to the music of Wally's Harmoneers. As our first year at Killingly came to a close, we were fortunate in having so many freshmen on the honor roll. They were as follows: High- est Honors: Geraldine Champagne, Demeter Farfaras, Shirley Harrington, Lucille Ide, Anne- marie Kaussen. General honors: Raymond Ben, Lorraine Briere, Ruth Burton, Doris Charbon- neau, Danforth Chase, Carolyn Coolidge, Mar- garet Cowles, Gail Demoranville, Claire Gar- neau, Richard Gileau, Richard Gladue, Aurore Hubert, Rolande Nelson, Harriet Nosenchuck, Paul Saari, Arthur St. Onge, Marjorie Tourte- llotte, and Mary Wexler. SOPHOMORE YEAR Thoroughly acquainted now with our duties at high school, we held our annual class elections on September 19, 1950. The following sofpho- omores were elected as class officers: presi ent, Bruce Howard, vice-president, Raymond Ben, secretary, Elaine Cowles, treasurer, Bradley How- ard, and historian, Mary 'Wexler. The meeting was held under the supervision of Mr. George Cook, class ad.visor. Our class assembly was held on March 16, 1951. The sophomores presented an entertaining show in the form of a guided tour through New York City. The tour visited a silent movie, a radio station, aa. museum, and a barbershop. Gen- eral chairman of the assembly was Bradley How- ard. Demeter Farfaras was art director, and George Russwurm, assisted by Richard Cooper, was stage manager. The entire production was under the able direction of Mr. George Cook, faculty advisor. April 6, 1951 was an exciting day for the -sophomores. We presented our class dance, Be-Bop Bunny Hop , in the high school gym. The unique decorations were in keeping with the name of the dance. Everyone enjoyed the music of Tommy Costello and his orchestra from Willimantic. Our only representative to the twenty-sixth annual prize speaking contest was Mary Wexler. JUNIOR YEAR Our first year as upper classmen had finally arrived. On September 20, 1951 the juniors nam- ed the following representatives as class officers for the year: president, Bruce Howard, vice- president, Bradley Howard, secretary, Mary Wexler, treasurer, Charles French, and histor- ian, Marjorie Tourtellotte. On October 28, 1951 the juniors presented their class informal dance, Punkin Paradise . Music was by Johnny Hudyma and his orchestra. The gym was spookily decorated with autumn leaves, corn stalks, black cats, ghosts and gob- blin, skulls and crossbones, and many, many pumpkins, du.e to the original ideas of Demeter Farfaras, chairman of decorations. It was a rollicking event on February 29, 1952 for the juniors presented the class assembly in the form of the grand opera CARMEN. Croon- er Walt Kozlow, as Escamillo the bull-fighter, gory William Adams, as the bull, and dash- ing Charlie French, as Don jose, left our appre- ciative audience in hysteria. The well-chosen cast did an outstanding job. This entire assembly was under the able direction of Mr. Frederick Kiley, who wrote the entire script. -2381- April 17 and 18, 1952 was reserved for the junior play-a three-act comedy, Smarter and Smoother . The play portrayed a young girl and her typical worries, that of having the correct technique with the opposite sex. Members of the cast were: Shirley Bolduc, Harriet Nosen- chuck, Dorothy Hartley, Barbara Whipple, Wal- ter Kozlow, Maurice Beaulac, Bruce Howard, Bradley Howard, Angelee Turner, joan Gallup, Barbara Cournoyer, Jeannine Heneault, James Singleton, Charles French, Geraldine Cham- pagne, Nola O'Connor, Marie Andrews, De- meter Farfaras, Henry Carragher, John Cun- neen, Connie Stevens, and Mary Wexler. Mu- sic between acts was played by the high school orchestra under the directoion of Alfred P. Zambarano, Music Supervisor. The play, under the direction of Mr. Herbert QI. Brine, dramatic instructor and teacher, was expertly done and provided an amusing and enjoyable evening for the many people who attended. Shortly after the play, the juniors began to work on the highlight of the year-the first class formal. With Demeter Farfaras as chair- man of the decorations committee, the gymna- sium looked like a ballroom adorned with show- ers of orchids and stars, to keep in with the name of our formal, Orchids in the Moonlight . Music was furnished by Ray Stone and his or- chestra. Delicious refreshments were served by the Beacon Caterers of Putnam. Sitting on a very realistic-looking moon, Margie Tourtellotte was crowned queen with Mary Wexler and Jean Fortier as her attendants. Everyone who attend- ed had a blissful evening of dancing. The following members of the class were elected to our famous Traffic Squad: Demeter Farfaras, Constance Stevens, Ray Ben, Charles French, Bruce Howard, Bradley Howard, Walter Kozlow, Thomas Hanrahan, Paul Saari, Mary YVexler, and Margie Tourtellotte. Although the only representative of the jun- ior class in the annual prize speaking contest, Mary Wexler did an outstanding job with her rendition of Mothers of Men . SENIOR YEAR Our golden days at last! Ah, such bliss. As we settled down for an eventful year, we elected the following senior class officers at our first class meeting on September 12, 1952: president, Bruce Howard, vice-president, Bradley Howardg secre- tary, Mary Wexler: treasurer, Charles Frenchg and historian, Margie Tourtellotte. Our class advisor was Mr. Herbert Brine. December 22, 1952 was reserved for the first big highlight of the year. The senior hop, Snow- ball Fantasy , was presented in the gymnasium with dancing to Tommy Masso and his or- chestra. A breathtaking ceiling of snowballs and stars gave a natural effect to the giant Christmas tree laden with gayly colored lights, ornaments, and gifts, and a huge man-made snowball re- presented the throne. The queen was in the lovely person of Mary Wexler with Geraldine Champagne and Claire Garneau as her attend- ants. Delicious refreshments were served, and everyone had an enjoyable evening which the seniors will never forget. Our second big event was on January 28 and 29, 1953 when we presented the senior play, Girls Are Like That . The play portrayed the hilarious problems which arise when a girl finds out she has three fiances when she should have only one. The cast was as follows: Mary Wexler, Constance Stevens, Harriet Nosenchuck, Bernice Robidoux, Bradley Howard, Bruce Howard, VValter Kozlow, Maurice Beaulac, james Single- ton, John Cunneen, Demeter Farfaras, Mary Dennett, Margie Tourtellotte, Geraldine Cham- pagne, Dorothy Hartley, Jeannine Heneault, Nola O'Connor, Shirley Bolduc, Joan Gallup, and Claire Garneau. The success of the play was due to the hard work and efforts of our own Mr. Brine. Both casts did an outstanding job. Seven of our lucky classmates made the Na- tional Honor Society this year. They were: De- meter Farfaras, Mary Wexler, Paul Saari, Harriet Nosenchuck, Geraldine Champagne, Annemarie Kaussen, and Margie Tourtellotte. The seniors were represented in the Spelling Bee by the following classmates: Georgia Atsales, Barbara Whipple, Demeter Farfaras, Margie Tourtellotte, and Harriet Nosenchuck. As the yearbook goes to press, the seniors are preparing for graduation and our lives to come. One group is working on our class assembly and another on our last informal dance. Yes, our four years at K.H.S. have passed, and it is now time to bid our Alma Mater adieu. We shall always be loyal to her praiseworthy name and we know that she will indirectly guide our decisions, our successes, and our failures throughout our lives. For here we have learned, as our motto reads, to Attain the bestg subdue the rest . We shall never forget the happy hours spent within her halls and shall always bring praise to her worthy name - Killingly High School.

Pogo Daisy Duck Gravel Gertie -:41:- Class Prophecy Time: January, 1973 Place: Near the Quinebaug Steamship Lines where the U.S.S. Herbert J. Brine is docked. Characters: Raymond Ben, owner and publisher of the New York Timesg Harriet Nosenchuck, Editor-in-chief of that paperg and Demie Farfaras, Art Ed- itor of the same paper. Demie: Boy that certainly was a rough or- deal we went through at Charlie Woodmancy's travel agency! Harriet: I didn't know it took that long to get a couple of tickets for the inauguration. Ray: Gee, I couldn't help looking at that travel poster with Marie Andrew's picture on it. She certainly made American life look inviting. Harriet: Well, here we are at the gangplank. Where's the ticket collector? Demie: There he is. He looks half-asleep. I wonder who he is. Ray: Why it's Paul Gallup! He hasn't chang- ed a bit since high school. Demie: I'm glad we have Dick Mailhot as our ship's captain. He operates his ship in the water as smoothly as he himself operates on land. Harriet: Hey, this ship is some baby! Ray: Yeah! And do you know why? Because Tom Thomas, P.H.D., L.S.M.F.T., etc., designed it. Harriet: I hear that Tom develops theories of Nuclear Fission so rapidly that Veronica Le- Clair and Marcella Malboeuf, two capable se- cretaries, are kept busy constantly writing them in shorthand. - Demie: This deck looks pretty clean. Ah-ha! Here's the answer. Tommy Hanrahan and Ray Regis are swabbing it to the tune of Night and Day , a fitting title. Ray: The main course is being served now, so how about eating. Demie: Swell! I hear that Clyde Giambattista is chief cook and bottle-washer. He's certainly fullfilling his ambition of making millions- millions of tiny Italian noodles. Harriet: I read on the menu that one of the specialities is Osterlund's Canned Chicken Con- coction. Ray: I hope there's plenty of Maurice Beau- lac's Incessant Indigestion pills 'cause we might need them. Harriet: Well, being served by Mary Dennett and Marilyn Lannon, world-famous stewardesses, will lesson the blow. Demie: Anyway, Dot Hartley, the ship's nurse, will be on hand to care for us. Ray: You know, I can still see those Novem- ber headlines: Dick Gileau, former president of the Connecticut College for Women, unani- mously elected. President of the United States! And what a cabinet he has! Harriet: Yes, all girls. He feels he can ac- complish more that way. Demie: Let's see, Connie Stevens, former pri- vate Secretary to James J. Toothless owner of the American Peanut Brittle Company, was appoint- ed Secretary of State and Margie Tourtellotte, that C.P.A. of the U.S.A. will be our new Secre- tary of the Treasury. Ray: I know that Doris Charbonneau will certainly fulfill her job as Secretary of Defense. She always did put up a good fight. Harriet: Yes, and while Mary Wexler is At- torney-General, something should be going on all the time in that office. Why only the other day I heard that three bureaucrats robbed one another just for an excuse to meet her! Ray: That's pretty good. Who are the other members? Demie: VVell, there's Arlene Milliard, Se- cretary of Labor and Claire Garneau, Secretary of Agriculture. Boy, that job certainly takes a lot of pull! ! Alberta Kennedy is to be Secretary of Commerce, Annemarie Kaussen, Secretary of the Interior, Frances Merluzzo, Secretary of the Navy, and Gloria Joly, Postmaster-General. I heard she really started at the bottom by licking stamps in the local post office. Harriet: Seems to me she used her tongue quite a bit in high school, too. I also hear that Alice Doyen's right up there on top-Under-Se cretary to the Under-Secretary to the Assistant Secretary of State. Ray: The inauguration will certainly get plenty of coverage with Clarence Bousquet as head T.V. Camera-man. Harriet: He's on board ship with us, isn't he? Demie: Yes, and so are Judy Friese and Grace Conklin. Those two are always traveling. They even did so during those basketball games we used to play gin gym. Harriet: You know, Paul Saari is supervising the military affairs of the inauguration. Ray: John Cunneen's also going to play an important part in Washington this week. He's really proficient at his job of swearing- of course, I mean swearing people into office. --:42:- Harriet: You know, Nola O'Connor was hired to be the private tutor of the President's chil- dren. Ray: Guess what! Jim Singleton and Eugene McMerriman decided to hoof it to Washing- ton to keep in shape for the International Race Track Meet. Demie: I'm glad joan Gallup was chosen to play the grand march Hail To The Chief . Harriet: The last time I heard of Jeannine Heneault, she was touring the country with Joan and helping her turn the pages until that un- forgetable afternoon recital when her picture hat got in the way of the music and joan ended up playing, Turkey in the Straw . Demie: There are so many familiar faces on deck. Paul Gareau is scanning the racing forms while leisurely lounging on a deck chair. He'll never dream up a scoop to send to the Interna- tional Newspaper Office that way. Ray: Can that figure surrounded by gorgeous girls over there be play-boy Danny Chase? Harriet: It certainly is! I hear he drove his Jaguar into Macy's Department Store the other day to see if he could fit it in the elevator! Demie: Not only that. He has two secretaries, Myra Regopoulos and Georgette Perreault, with him constantly to keep track of his appointments. Harriet: What the deuce was that noise? Ray: That's just Charlie French driving his new rocket ship to the moon. He's surely living now! Demie: Nicky Carragher's ingenuity was re- sponsible for its creation and Barbara Whipple is the airline hostess. Ray: I'm glad that Jim Watson, Bob Chabot, and Randall Law are the machinists on this ship. Harriet: Stan Budzielek and George -Ioly are also on Charlie's ship. They're on their way to the moon to teach the art of elbowing in football to the moon-men. Demie: In case the boys get too rough, Joan Carragher and Gerry Champagne's clinic will be open for business. Wasn't it smart of them to establish one on the moon before anyone else. Ray: You know I read in the paper the other day that VValt Kozlow and Rog LaFleur, who were formerly strictly college material, ended up by graduating from Uncle Sam's University. They used to look pretty breezy driving around in their convertibles. Demie: Yeah. They always did go for the draft, didn't they! Harriet: Speaking of reading, you know world-famous broom manufacturer Dick Lavi- gueur's new magazine Good Housesweepingn don't you? Well, Bernice Robidoux, has a ter- rific column in it on homemaking hints and Ruthie Burton and Betty Krawiec have come out with their new recipe for making moon-cheese souffle. Demie: There's Carl and Jean Pappas mon- opolizing Sophie Atsale's shuffle-board conces- sion. They're on their second honeymoon after twenty years of wedded bliss. Ray: Yes, and I see they left their nineteen children home in charge of Viola Bowen, a won- derful nursemaid. Demie: By the way, millionaire Georgia At- sales is traveling to Washington with her hair- dresser, Jeannette Dumas and her dress-maker, Julia Angelo. Julia's going to design the First Lady's gown for the inaugural ball. Harriet: Also with Georgia is Shirley Bolduc who has brought along some of the material she's designed for the gown. Look, she's displaying some samples now! Ray: Is that Bruce Howard who's smelling them? Harriet: Silly! He's not smelling the material, he's just trying to figure out the color! Demie: There's Brad Howard with him. I think the twins are representing the College Alumni of the U. S. at the inauguration. Ray: I guess we're almost at our destination. We'd better get our things. Demie. Before we go let's stop for a drink at George Russwurm's soft drink bar. Do you think accountant Aurore Hubert will ever be able to balance George's books? Harriet: Miracle's can happen, you know. See you at the rail in ten minutes. Ray and Demie: O. K.! We'll be there. -:43:- Mware ' 770513 ,dz f7Ae M0857 UA - UA! mm wan .fd .SQUCA .911 jme Saved Hue., af? yOU up fo, LDQL Seafa 5?UJg u? olgne j0l l'l'l5 fo Me Hgh, lm!

UPCA ed fra , The orchestra has taken part in 'many of the school activities this year, such as the Senior Play, The junior Play and The Speaking Con- ICSI. The director of the orchestra is Mr. Zam- barano, whose patience and leadership are worthy of praise. The orchestra's fine music is due to the fact that the students practice diligently every Tuesday morning. Under the capable direction of Mr. Alfred P. Zambarano, our orchestra has played an im- portant part in the class plays and other school functions. Tuesday morning rehearsals have started the hopeful young musicians along the road to becoming successful. ZZJ4. The accomplishments of the helped them to experience a very successful program this year. At the first meeting of the year, the follow- ing officers were elected: President Robert Hunter Vice President Charles Woodmancy Secretary Floyd Wade Treasurer Burt Salmon Reporter Francis Jacques The Chapter sent some of its members to the Crop Contest held at the University of Con- necticut. Robert Hunter, the president, was chosen as a judge for the Eastern States Exposi- tion in Chicago. The club officers attended the F.F.A. Officers Training Meeting in Middle- town. Under the guidance of Mr. Ralph Lyman, the boys worked on the project of forest im- provement. Neighboring farms allowed the boys to visit them in order to learn farm manage- ment. Many people were awed at the scenic beauty of the Christmas scene in Davis Park, one of the great projects undertaken by the F.F.A. this year. The Chapter's motto is: Learning to do, doing to learn, learning to live, living to serve . J CAOFUJ The Mixed Chorus under the capable direc- tion of Miss jean Pitman, held weekly rehearsals. The two major accomplishments of the year were their participation in the Christmas assembly and their annual spring concert presented May 28th.

The officers for theyear were: President Marjorie Tourtellotte Vice President George Aubin Secretary Rosalee Arnold Librarians Theresa Blais, Ronald Congdon The pianist for the group was joan Gallup. Anian gay The interestvof students in 'the 'school news- paper was greatly increased this year because of a completely new and different publication. For the first time in four years, the issue appeared in print. The paper featured up-to-the minute news, club news, sports write-ups, exchanges, and humorous articles. A section entitled Voice of the Pupil was an added attraction. , Meetings were held weekly on Tuesdays. Mr. Warren E. Giffin aided as faculty advisor,'Mrs. Betty Bryant as financial advisor, and Demeter Farfaras as editor-in-chief. H ' To help defray the cost of printing the paper, members of the Killonian staff sold refreshments at home basketball games. The social highlight of the year was the annual Killonian dance. gm gt. cm The Girls' Glee Club is a stepping stone to the Mixed Chorus. The Club was directed-by Miss jean Pitman. The group together with the Mixed Chorus presented a Christmas Assembly. Lateruin the year the Club presented a special school as- sembly and took part in the graduation ex- ercises. The officers for the year were: President -Ioan Ingraham Vice President joy Methe Secretary Linda -Iuhola Librarians Therese Lavallee, Rose Gingras The pianist was joan Ingraham. Sf.. sam., zz.. The various English classes of the respective grades at Killingly High were scenes of spelling preliminaries at the beginning of February. The winners of these preliminaries competed in the semi-finals to determine the five best spellers in each of the four grades. These twenty winners were participants in the annual Spelling .Bee, which was held in the K.H.S. auditorium on February 20, 1953, before an enthusiastic student bod '. Mr. Herbert Brine, Master of Ceremonies and director of the Spelling Bee, stated the rules of the contest briefly, emphasizing that once a letter had been pronounced, it was not allowed to be changed. The following two people suc- ceeded in spelling down their opponents: David Mayhew, a member of the junior class, received the first prize of 35.002 and Marjorie Tourtel- lotte, a senior, won the second prize of 32.50. The winners are to be congratulated, and all those who participated in the Spelling Bee de- serve praise for their fine work. fflontinued on Page 721 2592-- Wafiona! .jwlonor .Sbciefy The National Honor Society is an organiza- tion which honors all students who have main- tained an average of 902 or more in all subjects during their high school careers. To be chosen a member of this society is a reward for seniors and continued study. The students who meet the prescribed qual- ifications are Mary Wexler, Geraldine Cham- pagne, Annemarie Kaussen, Demeter Farfaras, Harriet Nosenchuck, Marjorie Tourtellotte and Paul Saari. Lgfuclenf cluiziory ouncif This is the legislative government at Killing- ly High. Members of the student council are the class officers of each class and act as representa- tives of their respective classes. Questions are discussed pertaining to con- duct of students, school functions, student-teach- er relationships and many other timely ques- tions. Through the Student Advisory Committee, the student body may voice their opinions and suggestions. The purpose of the Committee has thus far proved successful, and it is hoped that it will be continued through the coming years. .sioealing Confeaf The 28th Annual Prize Speaking Contest presented March 5th, was again an overwhelm- ing success due to the fine supervision of Mrs. Thelma K. Bond. All the contestants were highly commended for an outstanding job. First prize, after a lengthy debate, went to John Makowsky, for his unforgettable portrayal of The Big Game , Joan Child was awarded the second prize for her rendition of Mysterious Pup . joan Zaica with her very emotional and moving ren- dition of The Big Parade won third prize. Olney Fortier received honorable mention. The other contestants were: Ann Skelly, Ann john- son, Roberta Griffiths, John Carroll, and Doris Thompson. ollafin The Latin club met bi-weekly. The main purpose of the club was social. At their first meeting the first-year students were initiated and became slaves for a period of two days. Under the direction of their faculty advisor, Mr. Herbert Brine, the club also sponsored a dungaree dance, Christmas party, rigatoni sup- per, and a skating party. The officers of the year were as follows: President Gloria Lucchesi Vice President Joan Ingraham Secretary Joan Zaica Treasurer Joan Markley SQJQJ4. The Future Homemakers of America is com- posed of members who have had at least one semester in homemaking. The main purposes of the club are: to pro- mote a growing appreciation of the joys and satisfactions of homemaking, to hasten the de- velopment of creative leadership in home and in community life, and to provide individual and group recreation. These purposes were pointed out to the members at the numerous meetings held during the year. Initiation of new members was held in Octo- ber, At this time plans were also drawn up for the year's activities. The highlight of social ac- tivities during the year was a dance held on November 7. Officers for the year were as follows: President Jacqueline Quintal Vice President Lucille Orlando Secretary Ann Trahan Treasurer Louise Orlando Reporter Hannah Litke Historian Florence Luce Faculty advisors are Miss Dixon and Mrs. Hutchins who succeeded Mrs. Irving Fetterman. Z?m! Whenever one hears very stirring marches, or the thumping of a drum through the arched hallways he will recognize the Killingly High Band under the excellent direction of Mr. A. P. Zambarano. At the present time they are preparing for their annual band concert in May. They play during interludes for school plays, assemblies, football games, the annual Speaking Contest and many other extra-curricular activities. They also participate in local parades on national holidays. Much pep and vigor has resulted from the precise music of our band. 3,....1 The Traffic Squad is the judicial department of Killingly High School. Much credit for stu- dents' conduct and disciplinary order is due them since they are responsible for law and order in the corridors. Those who fail to obey the rules are brought before the organization, and tried and disciplined for serious or frequent infractions. Surely, the members of this worthwhile or- ganization, who were under the able direction of Mr. Frederick Oliva, will make outstanding leaders and citizens of the United States. The executives for the year were as follows: Captain Mary Wexler Lieutenant Bruce Howard Sergeant Geraldine Champagne Executives Bradley Howard, Raymond Ben -:60:- Y Wane 50 2h'LL06h2J lA? 25501160 O! tAf? t1tLAff?

A. 60 13 Putnam 20 0 -el? -T10 Under the guidance of Coach Frank Sniadack, and assistant, Coach Frederick Kiley, the Red- men team had the best season in Ki1lingly's history. Led by their co-captains, Brad and Bruce Howard, the Redmen trampled over all their opponents. Using all variations of the T-formation, the Redmen compiled 343 points and held their opponents to a mere 40. The offense was led by Jim Burns, the lead- ing scorer in the state, who had a total of 108 pointsg co-captain Brad Howard was second highest scorer with 94 points. Their defense was one of the best that Kil- lingly ever had. Led by co-captain Bruce How- ard, the defensive unit consisted of Walt Koz- low at right endg Leon Perreault, right tackleg Bob Chabot, right guardg Stan Budzielek, left guardg George Joly, left tackle and Bruce How- ard, left end. joe Sarantopoulos and Brad How- ard were backer-ups. Seniors who contributed immensely to the success of the team are: Brad Howard, Bruce Howard, VVa1t Kozlow, Leon Perreault, Jim Burns, Stan Budzielek, Tom Hanrahan, Maurice Beaulac, George Joly, Bob Chabot, Charlie French and Clyde Giambattista. As a nucleus for next year's team Coach Sniadack has but three veterans-Paul Poirier, joe Sarantopoulos and Richard Oatley. Materia!! Killingly's hustling hoopmen, under the watchful eyes of Mr. Alton Nichols and Mr. Armand Berthiaume completed a successful season of record-shattering feats. With an almost unprecedented showing of 17 wins to 3 losses, the K.H.S. five qualified for the class B-C.I.A.C. tournament which was staged in New Haven. Killingly tripped a giant Darien team in the opening game by the count of 70-56 only to be edged out 71-70 by a strong Lyman Hall five in the second encounter. It was back in 1937 when a Killingly five posted a 17-4 season record only to have sixteen years roll by until the 1953 quintet surpassed that mark. Ccrcaptains Rog LaF1eur and Walt Kozlow with teammates Paul Saari, Charlie French, Ol- ney Fortier, Bernie Blumenthal and Dick Pro- vost are to be highly commended for their su- perior performance through the course of the season. The outlook for next year's team is promis- ing, with many lettermen returning to the court. Batteftaff Scteduk SCORE DATE OPPONENT KHS OPP. December 9 M t.

KILLINGLY SCHEDULE At the time this yearbook went to press, the Killingly High diamond forces had exhausted only five games of their thirteen game schedule. Of the five games played, K.H.S. boasted a 3-2 record and, confident that coach Frank Sniadack will keep his boys on the winning road, Killingly will undoubtedly come out on top. Roger LaFleur, Clyde Giambattista, Charlie French, and Paul Saari are scheduled to see a great deal of service, with the underclassmen hustling for a starting berth. june DATE Apr. 17 May 5 6 ll 19 22 25 29 30 l 2 5 -:6'7:- OPPONENT Griswold M.

Credit for reorganization goes to Mr. Francis Fisher, and also, acknowledgments for his capable guidance and assistance at the regular Thursday after-school meetings. Many students from all the classes joined in the club's activities and participated in the debates. One outstanding accomplishment of the De- bating Club was the presentation of a debate for the student body at a Friday assembly. The subject of discussion was, Resolved, A Trade School Education is a Better Preparation for Life Than a High School Education . The mem'bers of the Debating Club were hosts to the Tourtellotte High School Debating Club and both organizations participated in an informal debate. A cordial reception was tendered to the Kil- lingly High School Debating Club by the mem- bers of the Goodyear P. T. A, at a regular meet- ing, at which time the club presented a debate on a timely discussion. It is gratifying to see so many students have taken such a lively interest in this worthwhile organization, and it is hoped that even greater future interest will be shown by the student body at Killingly. unior ance Chairmen for the various committees were as follows: William Sarantopoulos ....
