GLEE CLUB The Glee Club has for its purpose the organizing of the vocally talented boys and girls of the three public high schools with intentions of presenting a concert in the Wilby Auditorium during the month of April. Under the skillful guidance of Miss Alice Gibson, the students of the three schools met in the Crosby Auditorium on Monday evening of each school week to rehearse over and over again the various classical selections. These long hours of rehearsal were not wasted, for the concert proved to be very successful, as was shown by the presence of a large audience who heartily applauded every number, During the month of Moy, the annual Glee Club Social was held. All the members were on hand to enjoy a very pleasant evening, thereby concluding a highly enjjoyable and profitable season, The members from Leavenworth were: Theodore Bojarski Thomas McLennan Anthony Rosa Ernest Stanco Nick Perugini John Ciavrella Pat Mazzamaro Eugene Megin Arthur Marciano Leo Mehmet John Syssa George Coffey Wilbur Molin Harold Coer Edward Adomaitis

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Athletic Association was organized in i936 to promote an interest in sports at Leavenworth. At that time basketball was the only school sport. The team was in a Class D league and there was very little interest or school spirit. The Athletic Association aroused student interest and with their help raised enough money to equip a football team by the fall of I937. Two years later they were instrumental in establishing and equipping a school baseball team. Since I939 Leavenworth has successfully competed against Class A teams in football, basketball, and baseball. High school sports in Waterbury must be self supporting. With the splendid support ancl cooperation of the students, the Athletic Association has always been able to equip and support the school teams in all sports. The Athletic Association is particularly proud of the record of this year's basketball team' Naugatuck Valley League Champions, runner-up in the State Tournament at New l-laven, and New England Champions. The officers and members of the Athletic Association are: John A. Dillon, President Frank G. Regan, Secretary James A. Lord, Vice-President Jacob D. Rieger, Treasurer Ellery C. Kilbourn James J. O'Neill Paul Perazelli Joseph F. Rosse Willliam l-l. Tracy

RADIO CLUB During the first half of the school year, a series of weekly programs called Opinion Please was presented on station WBRY every Friday evening. On each of these broadcasts a group of students from each of the four high schools would discuss or debate the existing political and economic issues. Representatives from Leavenworth debated every four weeks, with Mr. Blanchard acting as moderator. These discussions proved to be valuable experiences for the participants, for, in presenting their points and narguments, their grammar and voices were to function faultlessly. Although each of these programs required long hours of preparation, all the members agree that it was a very pleasant experience. The debators from Leavenworth are: Elvira Tortorici Norman Dutil Dolores Migliaro Pat Mazzamaro Dorothy lmperato Robert Link Marie Cipriano Wilbur Molin Lucy Garro Thomas McLennan Carol Arnold Anthony Rosa
