V No outset is without difficulty and no ending devoid of some element of nostalgia. But between the struggles and the sadness there is that broad land of happy memory and golden days. This Yearbook, we hope, has caught and recorded all these things. We have tried to place within these pages the pride of intellectual accomplishment, the work and the enioyment of classes and extra-curricular activities, the thrill of dances, plays and sports. In the writing of this our hearts were in the past, our hopes in the future. And now, to that future we look - for more difficult beginnings, for times of effort and ioy, and for pleasant memories. And to that end may this yearbook be but an opening chapter. ..2... -3- DEDICATION MR. FREDERICK S. KILEY The teacher of English is both artist and artisan. He must teach mechanics, and also light a creative spark. The class of i956 feels it to be very fitting that we dedicate this, our Yearbook, to Mr. Frederick Kiley. Mr. Kiley, in our opinion, has fulfilled the qualifications of an ideal teacher to an unusual degree. His learning, lively wit and patience have challenged us to intellectual efforts and have enlivened many an English class. Also, his interest in school activities has guided numerous func- tions. The whole student body is especially indebted to him for his aid in coaching speaking contests and plays. Therefore, we humbly dedicate this 1956 Yearbook to Mr. Kiley as a token of our grateful appreciation for all that he has done for us. -4- HONORARY DEDICATIDN l MR. ROBERT D. PAYNE In recognition of his invaluable guidance and help, we wish to make an honorary dedication of our Yearbook to Mr. Robert D. Payne, who was our principal during our first three years in Killingly High School. Mr. Payne took a personal interest in each of us and helped us extensively in planning our futures. He instituted numerous class and school functions, and is largely responsible for the school program as we know it today. We hope that this Yearbook will serve as a reminder to Mr. Payne of our lasting esteem and gratitude. ....5.. MRS. MlSS MR.

To- day we are beginning to realize the trueness of that statement. These, countless moments and memories of the Class of 1956, will serve as a remind- er of the golden years we have spent at K.H.S. OUR FRESHMAN YEAR How different it was from grammar school! Different teachers for each subiect, changing classrooms, extra-curricular activities were only a few of the changes to which we had to adapt ourselves. We had been tops in grammar school, but here in high school we were at the bottom! At our first class meeting in November, under the supervision of Mr. Frederick Oliva, our class advisor, the class elected the follow- ing officers. Jim O'Connor was elected Presi- dent, Bill Purdon, Vice-president, Marilyn Gal- lup, Secretary, Richard Gagnon, Treasurer, and Janet Reynolds, Historian. Although we were only Freshmen, our class took a deep interest in sports and we were well represented on the football squad by: Sam Williams, Bill Purdon, Richard Chase, Andre St. Germaine, Bill Hanrahan, Harry Ar- ters, and Jim O'Connor. Our dance, St. Patrick's Hop, held March 13, 1953, was a beautiful sight with green and white streamers magnificently adorning the gym. Wally's Harmoneers provided the back- ground music, and the evening was a huge success. Our assembly, held the afternoon of the dance, was also well received. Our program consisted of musical entertainment and a one- act play entitled A Haircut for Two Bits. Doris Thompson and John Carroll ably represented the class in the annual speaking contest. Spelling Bee finalists in our class were Barbara Harold, Thomas West, Rosalyn Oia, Slennis Morgan and Sophie Regopoulos. The month of June came sooner than we expected and we were due to leave the Frosh ranks, however, as the year was passing into history we realized only too well that our good start in high school had been ably supervised by Mr. Oliva, our class advisor. To him we could only say thanks for a iob very well done. SOPHOMORE YEAR Now that we had passed our test as Freshmen, we were eager Sophomores. At our first official meeting under the guidance of Mrs. Bond, we elected the following officers: William Hanrahan, President, Richard Gagnon, Vice-president, Carolyn Smith, Secretary, Wil- liam Purdon, Treasurer, and Elaine Veilleux, Historian. Our first big venture was choosing our class rings, after much discussion the Rectangu- lar Jaguar was chosen. The day we received them was of special importance to us. Our undefeated football team was spark- ed by the following Sophomores: Bill Hanra- han, Jim O'Connor, Sam Williams, Chet Za- dora, Bill Purdon, Richard Chase and Harry Arters. Our class was proiected into the spot- light when first prize went to John Carroll in the Annual Speaking Contest. John's prize winning rendition was Spartacus to the Gla- :liators at Capua . Doris Thompson, another Sophomore, was awarded second place for her presentation of The Unknown Speaker. Jimmy O'Connor, Bruce Barnes, Rene Pro- vost, and Dick Gagnon made the basketball squad. Springtime Melody , our class dance, was held on April 30, 1954. The gym was gayly decorated with pastel flowers by Lorraine La- fleur and her decoration committee. Ernie Briere's orchestra provided the music. Early in May, a score of our class tried out for cheerleading. Marsha Downs, Joan Hewitt, Carol Kirkconnell, Terry Lavalley, and Eleanor Lawton were chosen. Dorothy Ben, Gloria Maurice, Doris Lof- gren, Doris Thompson, and Joyce St. Martin were chosen maiorettes. June came, and once again we found ourselves moving onward in the academic field to the height of Juniors . JUNIOR YEAR We were upper classmen at last! Each and everyone looks forward to these moments in high school. On September 17, 1954, the Juniors elected the following representatives as class officers: President, William Hanrahan, Vice- president, Rene Provost, Secretary, Elaine Veil- leux, Treasurer, Richard Gagnon, and Historian, Rosemary Crescimanno. On October 28, 1954, we held our class informal dance. The gym was decorated with 145- autumn leaves spelling out Pumpkin Para- dise , the theme of the dance. There were dozens of pumpkins of all sizes and shapes around the gym. On the walls, there were paper pumpkins with the name of each mem- ber of the class. Lorraine Lafleur headed the decoration committee. Music was furnished by Bob Wilbur's orchestra. April 'I4 and T5 were the dates of our Junior Play, Auntie Goes to College , a com- edy in three acts, under the direction of Mr. Brine. The play was a huge success and credit was deservedly given to the hard working cast and to our wonderful director. The cast: Rosie-Lillian Barrette, Lucille Dumaine Mrs. Murphy-llvi Joe, Rosalyn Oia Lottie-Dot Ben, Marsha Downs Connie-Lucille Lacombe, Carolyn Smith Helena--Terry Lavalley, Betty Wellington Josie-Joan Hewitt, Elaine Veilleux Martha-Eleanor Lawton, Barbara Harold Louie-Harry Arters, Rene Provost Jones-Jim O'Connor, Raymond Bisson Mr. Roberts-Bill Hanrahan, R. Thomas Posie-Doris Thompson, Laila Kallio Cliff-John Carroll, Hubert Lemery Doris Thompson was the only Junior chosen for the finals in the Annual Speaking Contest. Competition was keen and Doris Thompson received Honorable Mention for her rendition of Mothers of Men . The Juniors were mighty proud of Rosa- lyn Oia when she came out first in the Annual Spelling Bee. It was a close race between Rosa- lyn and Pat Wernicki, but Rosalyn came to the top when her competitor misspelled a word which Rosalyn corrected. The biggest event of the year was our Junior Prom. The gym was beautifully decor- ated to represent an outdoor scene. In the center of the floor, there was a summer house covered with roses and vines to go in with the theme of the dance Touch of Roses . Janet Reynolds graced the Queen's throne in a fitting manner. She was seated on a white park bench with rambling roses scattered over parts of the bench. The Queen was attended by Theresa Lavalley and llvi Joe. The beautiful decorations were due to Lorraine Lafleur's wonderful planning and hard- working committee. The dance was a won- derful success. The music was provided by Joey Parks. To Mr. Koss, we appreciate all his kind- ness and help throughout our' Junior year. The school months rolled by quickly. And once more June was here. But this June meant more to us than the other Junes we had seen because now we were to become Seniors. We were all looking forward to next year. An eventful one for us! SENIOR YEAR September 7, T955 we were starting the fourth and final year of high school. What a thrill it would be to sit in the front seats as high and mighty Seniors during the assembly programs! Our first official class meeting was held September 16. The officers elected were: Presi- dent, Bill Hanrahan, Vice-president, Rene Pro- vostg Secretary Elaine Veilleux, Treasurer, Har: ry Arters, and Historian, Terry Lavalley. Our first contribution to the school was our famed seniors who worked so hard to ensure a successful football season. Co-Captains Bill Hanrahan and Jim O'Connor, Sam Williams, Harry Arters, Charlie Page, Ernie Caron were the sparkplugs of the team. In our second class meeting Rosalyn Oia and John Carroll were elected to be our co- editors for our yearbook. Our first big social event was lcicle ln- terlude , our Senior Hop, on December 16. Lorraine Lafleur's artistic touch gave the gym a new look. The walls were covered with pines and from our blue sky hung icicles which gave it a wintry atmosphere. A huge decorated Christmas tree was seen in the center of the floor. The highlight of the evening came when Terry Lavalley was crowned Queen with Lor- raine Lafleur and Eleanor Lawton as her at- tendants. Music was by Bill Pardus. The next big event was our Senior pro- duction, The Spider's Web , a mystery-comedy presented February 8 and 9. The cast: Ronnie Congdon and Jim O'Connor as Hurstad. Barbara Harold and Rosalyn Ola as Mrs. Griffith. Carolyn Smith and Laila Kallio as Miss Lee. Robert Thomas and Bill Hanrahan as Nor- man Drake. Terry Lavalley and Lucille Dumaine as Vennie Leinbaugh. Elaine Veilleux and Lucille LaCombe as Patricia Beaumont. iContinued on Page Sll 146...

CLASS PROPHECY Time: Place: Characters: Jim: Rosemary: Marsha: Jim: Rosemary: Marsha: Jim: Rosemary: Marsha: Jimf Rosemary: Marsha: Jim: Rosemary: June 14, 1976 A new night club in Danielson Jim O'Connor-President of the National Association of Bachelors Rosemary Cresclmanno - Director of nurses of U.S.A. Marsha Downs--bearer of Liber- ace's Candelabra Well, times have changed since we were here. Look at that new night club where, EatmQre's used to be. Let's go in. Maybe some of our classmates from K.H.S. are there. There's Joe Dragon, head door- man. He works under Henry Labrec, head of the N.B.A. KNational Bouncing Associationl. Hey, look at the happy hat check girl, Alice Tessier. She gives the hats to Joyce Slater who hangs them up. They do a swell iob. Gerry Espinosa is the head waiter. I-le also writes the menus in French. Did you notice that these exotic tablecloths were hand sewn by Gloria Maurice and Elaine Trahan, world famous seamstresses? I hear that Barbara Slater designed them. She always wanted to be an artist. Say, that orchestra is terrific. I wonder who is conducting? That's Lembit Kuusk. He invented a new kind of baton that waves itself. That's quite an outfit. They really play some mean music. That's Sam Williams on the drums. And Dot Morrarty on the French horn, and Eleanor Lawton at the piano. lsn't that Bev Richardson playing the flute? Carl Cayen is playing the accordion and Nelson Ventura the saxophone. They're known as the Syncopated Sour Notes. Have you heard their Marsha: Jim: Rosemary: Marsha: Jim: Rosemary: Marsha: Jim: Rosemary: Marsha: Jlm: 149.. latest smash hit Dig That Crazy Rhinocerous written by Doris Thompson? She always was a good writer. Here come the three cigarette girls, Dot Ben, Doris Lofgren, and Jeannette Blain. They used to strut, pretty well when they were ma- iorettes in high school. Oh, there's Bill Hanrahan, director of the F.B.l. He used to be our Class President. Tailing him are his right hand man, Rene Provost, his left hand man, Robert Fortin, and his extra hand man, Richard Chase. There's Margaret Veilleux, Bill's secretary. And with her are Bar- bara Fournier, undersecretary to the secretary, and Sophie Rego- poulos, assistant secretary to the undersecretary. There's Chet Zadora. What's he doing now? That roving Romeo is head of the W.A.C.'s. Zadora is always in con- tact with his officers. Marlene Morin is his yes woman and Louise Champagne is in charge of communications. Here comes the head of the F.T.A. iFuture Teachers of Americai, Ernie Caron, and his two assistants, Jean McDonald and Ilvi Joe. I hope they keep their students quieter than they were in high school. I'm starved. Let's eat now. I hear that Chef Reeves' special is pate d'escargots. It has spin- apples, a cross between spinach and pineapples, which are raised by the heads of the Vegetable Growers of the U.S.A., Joseph Fleury, Oscar Elfgren, and Richard Perkins, Incorporated. They say that Reeves has two able assistants, Donald Farrell and Ray- mond Perreault. The floor show's beginning. Bert Lemery is the master of ceremon- ies. He's really good now. Remem- ber the way he used to mumble in P.D. class? Rosemary: Marsha: Jim: Rosemary: Marsha: Jim: Rosemary: Marsha: Jim: Rosemary: Marsha: Jim: Rosemary: Marsha: Who's that singer he's introducing? Why, its Danny O'Leary crooning an Irish Iullabyl As usual he's surrounded by beau- tiful women. Lillian Barrette, Bea- trice Kimball, Ann Cote, and Con- nie Bransfield are singing in the background. They were pretty good. l wonder what the next act will be? Look, it's Kenny Boston doing a ballet dance. Oh, oh, he fell down. Lemery is asking for a doctor. I think he hurt his ankle. Here comes John Carroll, A.B.C. D.E.F.G.P.H.D., the famous ankle doctor. Flanking him is his nursing staff, Barbara Harold, Lorraine LaFleur, Janet Reynolds, and Charlotte Ker- tennis. They're fine nurses. Re- member when Johnsbroke his leg? They sure fixed him up. He still uses a cane. John buys all his medicine from Germaine's Germicuticle G e r m Garage. Andy discovered a cure for baldness. Remember the nice thick hair Reverend Carlton Bow- den used to have? When he grew bald, Andy cured him. Look! They iust threw Veterinarian Ray Bisson out because he tried to bring in some of his dogs. His kennels are run by Donald Morin and Charles Page, those two able flea fighters. Let's watch this last act and then leave. Spinster Rosalyn Oia is giv- ing a speech on How To Get a Husband in 90 Easy Lessons. Re- member how she used to love to give speeches in high school? Here comes Merle Basley, the of- ficial good night man. They say he was pretty good at saying good night to the girls when he was in high school. I iust noticed this building is run by Roy Eyers. Doesn't he run a series of chain stores somewhere? Yes, he does. Here comes a cab, purple and orange no less. Those colors belong to Hooper and Sayles, Incorporated. Jim: Rosemary: Jim: Jim: Rosemary Marsha: Jim: Rosemary Marsha: Jim: Rosemary Marsha: ..50... Here's a newspaper on the back seat. Look at these headlines. Ron- nie Congdon and Jim Warren smash home runs to win the pen- nant for the Red Sox, after all these years. On the next page there's a picture of the new propellerless helicopter invented by Bob Thomas, Harry Maltbee Arters, and Dick Gagnon. I wonder who's going to win the Housewife of America Contest. Lillian Dumas, Laila Kallio, Elaine Veilleux, Debby Woodward, Bar- bara Lewis, and Terry Lavalley are all hopeful aspirants. You never can tell. Did you see this new comic strip, lggy Jones, Esq. written by June Vitolo in collaboration with Dolores Vitiaz? Come to think of it, they used to collaborate a lot in high school. Well, what do you know: Carolyn Smith, noted psychiatrist, put Mil- ton Young, multi-millionaire, in a trance and found out where he hid his money. Raymond Mailhot, Charles Bouthil- Iier, and Wallace Cooke are work- ing on an underwater iet. They say it will be ready for use in a year or so. Here's a write-up about Julius La- Rosa's new secretaries, Betty Ann Wellington and Shirley Edwards. They finally got their wish.. We iust passed the Gallup Gum Drop Company, run by Jean and Marilyn. Women really love those gum drops because there are no calories in them. They don't taste good, but that's beside the point. Joyce Moulin, Carolyn Brundage, and Olive Green always were rather quiet. I wonder what's be- come of them? Oh, I know! They run a home for lonesome alligators. I'm sure the animals are in good hands. We iust passed the Ducombe Se- cretarial School run by Lucille Du- maine and Lucille.Lacombe. That's one of the finest secretarial schools in the country. Let's go home: this has been a long day. Jim: Look, there's George Ayazides crossing the street to Ayazides Physiological Corporation. Remem- ber how he was always the last one to get to school.. He usually iust made it as the late bell was ringing at 8:25. Rosemary: Since he's president of his firm now, he doesn't have to worry about being late. CLASS HISTORY lContinued from Page 46l Gerry Espinosa and John Carroll as Dr. Martischang. ' Ilvi Joe as Professor Pickering. Harry Arters and Bert Lemery as Ted Piper. Marsha Downs and Carolyn Brundage as Miss Newton.. We were fortunate to have our Senior class advisor, Mr. Brine, direct the play which proved to be a smash-hit! Shortly after the play the D.A.R. Award was awarded to Rosalyn Oia, a well-deserving girl. Soon after the first semester, Mr. Fisher announced our Valedictorian and Salutatorian, Rosalyn Oia and John Carroll. Marsha: Well, we've seen everyone in the class now. lt's almost as good as a class reunion. , Jim: Well, this is where I get off. Good-by. Q Marsha and Rosemary: Good night. Students chosen to write the Class Will and Prophecy were Bert Lemery, Gerry Espin- osa, and Lorraine Lafleur, Class Will, and Jim O'Connor, Marsha Downs, and Rosemary Cres- cimanno, Class Prophecy. These were drawn from those whose averages were over 85. As this yearbook goes to press, we are looking forward to our Class informal dance in May and our Class Outing at Happy Acres. We the Senior Class wish to thank Mr. Brine most graciously for his hard work and wonderful guidance during our last year here at K.H.S. Four years have passed so quickly since entering the doors of K.H.S. May the count- less memories that have passed Open Doors of the Future, With Knowledge of the past.

In the opening game the Redmen edged Plainfield High 20-19 and then went on to build a 4 win-1 tie record. ln the sixth game the Stonington High Class B Connecticut Champions downed the Redmen. In the final Turkey Day game, the Redmen fell victims of bad breaks and were shaded 13-7. Although beaten, the Redmen won a moral victory over their arch-rivals. Leading the team were co-captains Billy Hanrahan and Jim O'Connor, both, linemen who were a great threat to any opponent. ln the offensive column Jim Riley and Ron Juss- aume led the attack driving for 46 and 38 points respectively. Also providing the team with determination and drive were: Seniors- Sam Williams - center and line backer - although weighing only 155, he proved to be the mainstay in the Redmen line. Harry Arters - a hard driving half-back who was invaluable on defense and showed great ability on offense. Chet Zadora,-- right end, rushed many passers and cut opponents' end runs short. Ernie Caron - alternate quarter back, proved to be one of Mr. Sniadack's top re- serves, especially on defense.. After the season had been completed, it was announced that Killingly had placed three men on the Eastern Connecticut Conference First Team. The three men representing our school were: Sam Williams, center, Hugh Weav- er, tackle, and Jim Riley, fullback. The school congratulates these boys and the entire team for a iob well done throughout the season. The returning lettermen for next year are: Hugh Weaver, Jim Riley, George Viens, John Sarantopoulos, Ron Jussaume, Dick Cunneen, Walt Sliva, Aarno Hassell, Jack Weaver, Cliff Aubin, and Dick Watson.

Mr. Nichols and Mr. Berthiaume kept the boys in top shape and developed a fine all-around club. The team was rated seventh in Class B competition in Connecticut and qual- ified for the ClAC Tournament in New Haven. In the initial game of the tourney, the Redmen scalped Sheldon High 58-47. In the quarter-finals the Redmen faced East Haven High, a team which had won 76 straight games. In the first period the Redmen held their own, but in the remaining periods fell behind and became victim number 77. During the season, Junior Mike Castagna toppled two Redmen records. He scored 35 points in a game and hit on 14 tosses from the floor. Both records were held previously by teammate Rene Provost, who had 33 points and 12 field goals. Co-captains Provost and Dick Gagnon con- tributed fine ball handling and good defensive work during the season. Provost had 227 points and Gagnon 163. Castagna led the team scoring with 423 points. Seniors who filled key spots on the team were: Co-captains, Provost and Gagnon, Lem Kuusk, Charlie Bouthillier, and Ken Boston. Next year's team will be led by the return- ing Iettermen: Castagna, Ben Greene, Walt Sliva, Jim Riley, Willie Wexler, and Paul Caron. 162.- Date Opponent Dec. 2 Westerly 6 Pawtucket Voc. 9 Gilbert 13 Prov.

Although they have met de- feat thrice, the squad is a much improved club and should end the season in good fashion. So tar the Redmen standouts have been Jim O'Connor, Rene Provost, Gordon Flash Lane, and Walt Sliva. Dennis McShane is also doing a fine job running the ball club from behind the plate. The other members of the team are Mike Castagna, Chet Zadora, Ron Jussaume, Ron Mathewson, Dick Cunneen, and Jim Riley. 164-. TRACK Row I Left to right: R. Jussaume, G. Ayazides, S. Williams, J.

Approxi- mately 30 or 35 boys are participating this year. Six meets have been scheduled which should afford stiff competition for the Red- men. The opening track meet will be against Griswold High of Jewett City. The returning lettermen of the squad in- clude Bill Hanrahan, Rene Provost, Ron Belan- ger, Martin O'Connor, Nick Ayazides, George Ayazides, Aarno Hassell, Jackie Weaver, Hugh Weaver, Gordon Lane, Bob Harwood, Bob Page, Cliff Aubin, and Roger Privee.

JOHN AND HENRY WITH POWER SNOW REMOVAL EQUIPMENT ' L 'Q llalional Honor Society The National Honor Society of the National Association of Secondary School Principals has as its obiectives the stimulation of scholarship and the recognition of the qualities of leader- ship, service, and character in secondary schools. Admission to this organization is one of the greatest honors that can come to a high school student, for it stands for excellence of achievement not only in one, but in every field of endeavor. Scholarship alone will not admit a student to the National Honor Society. To scholarship must be added service, to service, leadership, and to leadership, character. Only the out- standing members of the senior class may be admitted. At Killingly a candidate must meet the fol- lowing requirements: l. Have maintained an over-all average of ninety per cent for seven semesters. 2. Must have had no mark in citizenship of poor or very poor. 3. Must have given evidence of leadership by active participation in at least two recognized school activities. 4. Must have shown a willingness to as- sist in the carrying out of any proiect or school plan. We are more than proud of the following four members of our class who have been ad- mitted to the society: Rosalyn Oia, John Car- roll, Barbara Fournier, and Gerald Espinosa. Speaking Contest The thirty-first annual speaking contest was held on the evening of March 15, under the supervision of Mr. Kiley. The first prize was awarded to Doris Thompson, a senior, whose selection was Sor- ry, Wrong Number. Martha Pike, a freshman, won the second prize and Barbara Cripps, a iunior, was chosen for the third award. Honorable mention went to Patrick Chapman, a iunior. s Debating lllnll The Marietta Kies Debating Society has car- ried on an active program this year. In December, the group was represented at the Model Congress of the University of Con- necticut by John Carroll and David Methe, who sat, respectively with the Senate and the House of Representatives. At the January meeting of the Killingly Woman's Club, the group presented a panel discussion on the topic, How Parents and Teachers Can Help Students to Get the Most from Education. John Carroll chaired the pan- el which was made up of: David Methe, Bar- bara Cripps, Patricia Moran, and Rose Cimo- chowski. The annual interscholasticdebate was pre- sented to the student body at an assembly on March 2. The debate topic was, Resolved: T hat government subsidies should be granted ac- cording to need to high school graduates who qualify for additional training. Killingly, sup- porting the negative side, defeated Plainfield High School. The group is presently considering attend- ance at the Clark University or University of Connecticut debate tournament, attendance at the Springfield Model Congress, and a pos- sible return debate with Plainfield High. Officers for this year were: President John Carroll Vice President Patricia Moran Secretary Barbara Cripps Treasurer David Methe Special thanks go to Mrs. Nieiadlik who has done a wonderful job in keeping the debating :lub interesting and active this year. Boys' Glee Club This group is a fairly new organization at Killingly High. It was organized only two years ago. Even though it is a new choral group, many boys have shown interest in it. Much credit is due these boys for the fine iob they have done. Miss Carpenter has helped the boys put on many good performances. Like the other choral groups, they participated in the Christmas Assembly, the Spring Concert and in the singing at our graduation exercises.. The Club has been very successful in the past two years and we believe that it will be even more successful in years to come. 180.- Trallic Squad Q The Traffic Squad is the iudicial department of Killingly High. The purpose of the Traffic Squad is to facilitate the passing of students in the corridors from one room to another. The members of the squad see to it that the stu- dents move along smoothly and that they ar- rive at their classes on time. To become a member of this organization students must be nominated by teachers and members of the squad. Members are chosen on the basis of their all-around performance in school work and their citizenship ratings. The members of the organization were un- der the supervision and able direction of Mr. Frederick J. Oliva. The executive officers for the year were: Captain ............,..........,..,....... Lorraine Lafleur Lieutenant ........ ,...... W illiam Hanrahan Sergeant ......, ,..... L ucille Dumaine Executive .,... ...,. R aymond Perreault Executive ...... .......... J ohn Carroll Under the direction of Mr. William T. Moy- nihan, who succeeded Mr. Warren E. Giffinf, the Killonian Staff has worked hard and has done a wonderful iob on the school paper. Members of the staff met weekly to work on their news. ' Special thanks should be given to Doris Thompson who, as editor-in-chief, worked ex- tra hard to put out an extra special paper. We would also like to thank Mrs. Betty Brennan who acted as typing director and financial advisor. Latin Club As is customary, the Latin Club started the year with its hair raising initiation party for the new freshman members. During the course of the school year the club enioyed many activities, such as the un- forgetable trip to the ice follies, a Roman Ban- quet fwith everything complete, down to the lasttdetaili, and of course, the many fund raising activities. As in previous years, Mr. Herbert Brine was the club's advisor. The club members owe a great deal to him for all the assistance that he has given them. The officers for the year were: President .......................... Helvi Karro Vice President ................ Mary Atsales Secretary ,............. Elizabeth Anderson Treasurer .,..... ..,.... H ilda Havenith Spelling Bee Students of the various English classes at Killingly High took part in the spelling pre- liminaries during January. The winners of these preliminaries competed in the semi-finals to determine the five best spellers in each of the four grades. The twenty winners took part in the annual Spelling Bee which was held in the K.H.S. auditorium on January 13, 1956 before the entire student body. Mr. Herbert J. Brine, director of the Spell- ing Bee, stated the rules of the contest briefly before the contest began. The following two people succeeded in spelling down their op- ponents: Mary Atsales, a member of the sopho- more class, received the first prize of Sl5, and Beverly Nash of the iunior class won the second prize of 35. David Methe, also a member of the iunior class, received third prize of 52.50. This year the band was conducted as a regular class, and members were marked on attendance, musical ability, and marching abil- ity. Mr. Robert Spencer was the new instructor this year in place of Mr. Zambarano, who has retired. Mr. Spencer has done a marvelous iob with the band. More and more students are show- ing interest. The maiorettes have also done a nice iob leading the band at all the football games. Mr. Spencer helped them put on spec- tacular shows on the gridiron. This year's maiorettes were: Seniors: Head Maiorette-Doris Lofgren, Dorothy Ben, Doris Thompson, Gloria Maurice, Jeannette Blain. Juniors: Beverly Nash, Barbara DesRoches, Ro- berta Lawton, Barbara Swaggart.. Mr. Spencer hopes the band will double in size in the next few years. The yearly selec- tion of the maiorettes has also been changed. -811. The girls are now chosen from all four classes every year in January at the K.M.S. auditor- ium. They are selected by Mr. Spencer, Mr. Fisher, Miss Reddy, and two competent twirl- ing authorities. The girls are learning new twirling tech- niques every Saturday morning at K.M.S. The drum maior for next year is Barbara Des- Roches. We know she'll be a wonderful lead- er. Special thanks go to this year's leader, Doris Lofgren. She did a splendid iob leading the band. F.F.A. The F.F.A. is an association which is de- signed to supplement training opportunities for boys who are progressing toward the goal of establishing a farming business. The F.F.A., under the able direction of their advisor, Mr. Gaffney, has been very active this year. Their accomplishments, which have been many, include attendance at the dairy cattle judging contest at the Eastern States Exposi- tion, and at the Horticulture contest which was held at the University of Connecticut. The F.F.A. also conducted two paper drives this year. The second annual F.F.A. dance which was held in the school gym was a big success. The chapter has also done a wonderful iob of improving the school landscape. Officers for this year were as follows: President Richard Perkins Vice President Kenneth Hunter Secretary John Wright Treasurer Philip Lyon Sentinel Carl Elfgren Reporter Gerald Gingras Mixed Chorus The Mixed Chorus, under the capable direc- tion of Miss Florence Carpenter, held weekly rehearsals every Wednesday morning during Activity Period. Among their accomplishments, they participated in the Christmas Assembly which was a big success. They presented their annual band and choral concert on the evening of April 12 in the school auditorium. The Mixed Chorus also did a wonderful iob at our commencement exercises. Special thanks should be given to Miss Carpenter for her hard work in making the chorus a success. The members of the group are also very grateful to their pianist, Saralee Rose. This group has been combined with the Picked Chorus of last year. From this group Doris Thompson and Helvi Karro were chosen to represent the school in the Annual All-State Band and Choral Concert which was held in Hartford last October. Girls' Glee Club The Girls' Glee Club has many talented girls who will be members of next year's Mixed Chorus. The Glee Club is the stepping stone to the Chorus. The Club is under the direction of Miss Carpenter who has directed them in the Christ- mas Assembly and at our graduation exercises. The Girls' Glee Club also took part in the An- nual Band and Choral Concert on April 12 which proved to be a huge success. The pianist for the group this year was Marsha Downs. Marsha has devoted much of her time to this group and the Boy's Glee Club. Special thanks is given to Marsha for her time and her fine piano playing. Art Club The main aim for teaching art on the se- condary level is to prepare students for fur- ther study in the art field. Mr. John Haskell was this year's new art club instructor. Mr. Haskell is given much credit for the fine iob he has done in teaching art to the members of the club. Under his direc- tion, the members have completed many in- teresting proiects. Up to the present time, the students in the art club have worked with various types of paintings, using both water colors and oil. They have also worked with clay and sculpturing. The members of this year's club are: Ulo Vlurd, Allen Seppa, Barbara Repasky, Linda Joe, Laila Kallio, Janet Smith, Ruth Manttari, and Arthur Desiardin. SENIOR PLAY Row I: Left to right: L.

GRAND MARCH Senior Play On February 8th and 9th, at 8 o'clock, the Senior Class presented The Spider's Web , a three-act mystery-comedy-drama by Robert B. Brome. The story took place at an unknown wayside hotel, owned by Mrs. Griffith, where a spy, Dr. Martischang, was willing to risk his life to possess a certain picture in a locket worn by Pat. Several students from a nearby college and a pinch-penny professor are the innocent guests who are caught in the trap planned by Dr. Martischang. The conclusion was drawn when the law caught up with the Doctor. The excellent performances were given by the following students: WEDNESDAY'S CAST Patricia Beaumont ....................

James O'Connor Junior Play On May l7th and 18th, the Juniors proudly presented the three act comedy, Spring Prom Magic in the K.H.S. auditorium. The story dealt with the seventeen-year-old Terry Allister, who had a crush to take her to the forthcom- ing Spring Prom, and the only barrier was the haughty, spoiled Ursula Peabody. The story unfolded with a happy ending for the heroine, and, of course, once again the public had wit- nessed another wonderful performance, which was directed by Mr. Kiley. Sophomore lnlormal g Another enioyable evening in the K.H.S. gym, was the Sophomore informal dance. Dancing Under the Stars, as it was named, was held on April 6th. Attendants were numer- ous, music by Tommy Rothwell was smooth, dances were many, and the refreshments were delicious.. To sum it up, the evening was plea- sant and memorable. Talent Show lnstead of the traditional class assemblies, this year the shows were all combined into what one might call four-in-one . This gay Talent Show was held on March 23rd in the K.H.S. auditorium. There was talent from all classes with the master of ceremonies being John Carroll. Mr. Fisher, our principal, who took a great interest in the show, was the advisor and, once again, Billy Hanrahan as General Chairman, organized it successfully. Senior Hop On December 16, the class of 56 held its last formal, lcicle lnterlude . The gym was very appropriately decorated. Frosty icicles hung from the ceiling, and in the center of the floor stood a huge Christmas tree, decorated with the brightest and most colorful orna- ments. A more profound Christmas touch was given to the tree by scattering many colorfully wrapped gifts beneath it. Once again Lorraine LaFleur and her committee did a wonderful job with the decorations. The most exciting moment of the evening was when our cute Terry Lavalley was crowned queen. Her lovely attendants were Lorraine La- Fleur and Eleanor Lawton. One must not forget to give credit to the following students, who gave their time so un- selfishly for the success of the dance: -87- Bill Hanrahan General Chairman Rene Provost Tickets llvi Joe Invitations Gerald Espinosa Refreshments llvi Joe Advertisement Hollis Hooper Restoration The music was provided by Bill Pardus' orchestra and this wonderful evening will be remembered for a long time by everyone who attended. Junior Prom On May 13, 1955, the class of '56 held its Junior Prom and called it Touch of Roses . The gym was beautifully decorated with sparkling roses and a vine-covered trellis in the center. The pretty queen was Janet Reynolds, whose throne was a little white bench with a back- ground of roses.1 The attendants were Theresa Lavalley and llvi Joe. Joey Parks and his or- chestra played their very special kind of music. This formal dance was the highlight of the Junior year and everyone had a wonderful time. 1AlI these lovely decorations were done by Lorraine La- Fleur and her committee. The other members of the class who served on the committees and helped to make the dance a big success were: William Hanrahan ..,... ......... G eneral Chairman llvi Joe ............. ..,.....,.... I nvitatlons Rene Provost ....... ........i. Tl ckets Rosalyn Oia .,..,..., .,..... A dvertlsement Junior Informal Autumn Leaves . the Junior Informal, was presented on the evening of October 27. The decorations carried the spirit of autumn, the gym was lined with numerous trees, lending the touch of the season with their bright-color- ed leaves. Cornstalks and pumpkins were artis- tically arranged on the facing wall. The stu- dent body was well represented and every- body had a good time, dancing to the music of Henry Devuyst and his orchestra. The various committees for this dance were: Decorations Barbara Cripps Tickets Beverly Nash Advertisement Nancy Bolduc Invitations Beverly Nash Restoration Walter Sliva Orchestra Judy Knight Refreshments Cora Kibbe Freshman Dance The energetic class of 59 held its first dance in the K.H.S. gym on March 23. The date was set for March the 16th, but due to the heavy snowstorm, Rock Around the Green was postponed one week. Nevertheless, it was a big success. A large number of students shared the music, refreshments, and dances. Also, for the first time in the Freshman class history, a queen was crowned. The pretty Miss l959 was Sandra Page. The ,spirit of co-operation shown by the freshmen certainly helped to make the evening a memorable one. The decorations by Marilyn Grenon were beautiful, the orchestra, which was chosen by Fred Ricci, was exceptional, and the delicious refreshments were managed by Sandra Page. - -.881 L my-W xt.: 3 O-F 832 35830: -gl: oh 2:2905 Us-S2 852 U 3 Oh sm-Da gsm 3-52 -22.-' vs :cos sow 8.-:ao ggau-2' one--OU no-' 02:3 -EU Sm-ol gsm 5-U2-F 3:9-F 025 riz E V96 ao!-as If-O3-oo? aeg-' :SXE be asm:-a 25 om Oh UE wo E-aa 2,-Sa 3-.E 0-P vets: so O-F B232 OU-om -2 IQ: 8102: FE-mam 252 .
