The ofticers, chosen the preceding June, were Rose- mary Hewitt, President, John Karl, Vice-Presi- dent, and Phyllis Naser, Secretary. Faculty advisors for this year were Mr. Lowell, Miss Perry, and Mr. Eisnor. A new award system for receiving varsity recognition in athletics was put into effect this year. A student patrol was instigated to counteract the impending traftic situation at the Meadow Street intersection. Movies were scheduled by the Council for class activities. One of the most influential actions in bring- ing about a closer cohesion between students and faculty was the suggestion box. This proved to be very successful and many sug- gestions by students were carried out. Emphasis was put on good scholarship by the awarding of certihcates to honor students. Recognition was given at assemblies by stress- ing academic qualities. This action proved to be an incentive for better, more concentrated study. Assembly programs were drawn up by delegated council members under the direc- tion of Mr. Lowell. Two examples of this activity would be the Christmas Assembly and the Graduation Assembly. This year the Council has proven to be very active and has done much for the benefit of students and teachers alike. Left to right: R. Zeffiro, E. Taylor, G. Fisher, Mr. Eisnor, A. DelNero, R.

Feature stories and articles of human interest were stressed as being an important part ot a school newspaper. lt was also decided that many ot the gossip articles proved interesting to only a few people and these have been partially omitted from the paper this year. A few new articles were added to the Blue 20 F7 and White. These included Movie Titles , school superlatives, articles from the English Classes, and poetry. This year the Blue and White had a new advisor, Miss Mish, who aided the staff with their problems. The Blue and White tried quite earnestly to put out a bigger and better newspaper, and it was the opinion of all that the staft and the reporters did their iob well.

The warm and responsive audience thrilled the cast and stimu- lated its members to give an outstanding per- formance. Ernest Collins played a long-legged Joe Pond with sympathy and understanding. He has now proved his versatility, as this part is com- pletely different from Uncle Chris. Margot von Schaaf certainly made a lovable, appealing lola May Harper, Joe's fiancee, and moved through the play gracefully. No one could sur- pass Lucinda Barnes's genuine and intense por- trayal of Mrs. Wilson. Eugene Beeman and Rosemary Hewitt iniected new life into their character rolls of Mr. and Mrs. Harper. lt is with the highest praise that we mention the name of John Karl, who upon last minute notice stepped into the part of Mr. Lester, playing it with the utmost hnesse. Frank Elliott, Ruth Barss, Joe Azar, Borghild Hilpert, Bill Whitecage, Joan Whitecage, Sonia Jackson, Marcella Boynton, David Schnell, Charles Gatling, and John Beeman composed a fine supporting cast. The Dramatics Club had a very eventful season O th' . The had many socials besides Dramatzcs 'F Yea' .Y Club doing a good 'ob on the stage. Front to back: M. Day, L. Barnes, M. von Schaaf, J.

Each year, there seems to be an improve- ment in the Blue and White cheerleaders. For the last two years, the ranks have not only been made up oi girls, but also two boys who have exhibited their skill. The combination of two boys and eight girls built up the school spirit to an unbelievable height. At the beginning of the school year, the spirit towards athletics was at a low ebb. The first attempts of our cheerleaders gained little success, but not giving up hope, the group continued their drive which gradually gained headway. At the closing ot the year everyone remarked on the spirit of the grandstand which at that time had reached a high peak. Leading the cheerleaders was Barbara Gray, who was chosen as the captain. Miss Murphy, girls' athletic director, acted as advisor to the group. The cheerleaders should be congratulated on their performances, because, without a doubt, they did their share towards the years' athletics. oys' Varsit Basketball 3' From row, left to right: I.

From the ranks of the previous season came 8 lettermen to return to what was expected to be a better than average season. The team started the campaign by electing Rich Cahill as Captain of the squad. The season started as expected with a de- cisive victory over Watertown, and this was followed by a repeat performance over Morris. Much to everyone's surprise, the third game revealed an entirely ditterent result. New Milford, the underdog of the contest, upset the Blue and White tive by a one point margin. From that day until the end ot the season, Litchfield High became erratic, putting on good performances, which, intermingled with poor performances, led to the tinal team record of T3 wins against 5 losses. When the time came for the annual state tournament, Litchheld High was rated the l2th place team, The drawings showed the tourna- ment game slated between Litchfield and Sut- tield, the latter being rated as the l8th team. The Blue and White took the tloor only to leave very much disappointed, being upset by the score ot 46 to 38, Although the team did not bring home any championship cup, they excelled in good sportsmanship which is really the aim of all athletics. ,fn 9-fx, of Front row, left to right: P.

Girls, Varsity asketball Only Tour letterrnen returned To This year's team. These composed the kernel around which the L.H.S. squad was built. Jean Miles was Team captain. For The first time here at Litchtield The girls' yarsity had uniforms. With these To bolster Their hopes, a good season was looked forward To, but destiny worked against L.l-l.S. The first game of the season was against Morris. They promptly defeated The Blue and White. Thomaston came next and duplicated lVlorris's Teat. The rest ot the season found the girls playing harder and more cooperatively but still The Toes won, with The exception of The return game with Morris. The final record was l win as against 7 losses. The inter-class games provided The closest competition of The whole season. The seniors proved their superiority by defeating both the iuniors and sophomores. The juniors downed The sophomores in The consolation game. Kneeling, left to right: Nl. Herbert, J. Whitecage, F. Carey, J. Turgeon, R. Williams. Standing: Miss Murphy, Y. Koser, E. Brun, .l.

They appeared to be headed tor an undefeated season. However, their hopes were blasted by their first loss to Terry- ville. After this loss the boys seemed to lose their drive and lost the next three games in a rovv. They finally righted themselves by win- ning their last game to compile a season's record ot T4 wins and 4 losses. Many of the boys played in some of the varsity games. These and some others will form the core about which Coach Knox will build next year's squad.

A. and thereby this association netted the tidy sum of S750.00. The class with the highest amount of magazines sold was to get 20 per cent of the protit. This produced very close competition among the classes with the Frosh leading most of the way, only to be nosed out in a photo finish by the high spirited Juniors. Prizes were awarded, the most notable being a trip to New York for all salesmen selling over 350.00 worth of magazines. Twenty-tour students took ad- vantage ot this and expect to see a major league baseball game in May. Wm ll i s Ca 'ff , 4 . X J fy!! 1 ,jf I. .kilt ' si?

These members consisted ot iuniors and seniors who had maintained an academic average ot 85 per cent or better throughout their high school careers. The group was invited to visit the Thomaston Chapter at Thomaston High School and our members spent a profitable after' noon observing the conduct ot a business meeting and hearing advice as to possibilities tor Society activities. Our local chapter hopes to gain strength in succeeding years. Its very reorganization indicates a healthy trend in the direction ot encouraging good scholarship. Sming left to right P. Moore, L.

Ernie Collins took a lst place in the 440 yd. dash and a third place in the shot put. Don Alvin took a 2nd place in the 880 yd. race. In a relay race the L.H.S team ran up an easy victory with little compe- tition. Under the guidance ot their ine coach, Mr. McNeil, they expected another outstanding sea- son both in the Housatonic Valley League and against other competition. The boys were not in tip-top condition tor their first meet as there had been little practice, but nevertheless, they exhibited signs of forth- coming success. They expected to get into ex- cellent condition soon after the meet at Yale. The Community Field Track was not available for use until later in the season, so they relied mostly on road-work and sitting up exercises. Optimism for future meets was high and they hoped for their best in their efforts to bring prestige to Litchfield High. 40 T racle i ll E i The annual P.T.A. sponsored Open House was largely attended this year. At this event, which was held in April, parents and friends of the students visua- lized school life. Noteworthy achievements of workmanship and scholarship ac- complished by the students were displayed in the various classrooms. Movies of grammar and high school classes were shown. The interested visitors departed with a more concise feeling ot the school-day routine and its many activities. Q Upen .. House 5 1 1 A I -I Science Club Photography Club The L.H.S.

During the meetings much work was done with the wire-recorder. This helped in recog- nizing mistakes and avoiding them in the future. Two radio programs were presented, one The Masque and Gavel chapter at Litchfield High School started the school year with one member, Rosemary Hewitt. During the first semester, six junior and senior girls qualified for membership. They were Joyce Morgan, Yvonne Koser, Sonia Jackson, Barbara Wilson, Janice Dudley, and Lucinda Barnes. These girls were initiated into the Masque and Gavel So- iety in March with a very impressive candle- light ceremony. Pu blic Speaking of which was a radio play called The Court of Masque and Gavel. The other radio pro- gram was a series of descriptions of the clubs in L. H. S. The goal of the club is to promote better public speakers and to instill in its members the confidence they need when speaking to a group. In coniunction with the Public Speaking Club, the Masque and Gavel Society sponsored a radio program over WTOR. The members gave accounts of various club activities at school. The aim of the National Masque and Gavel Organization is to promote assurance and self-confidence in high school students who participate in the field of public speak- ing.
