We as fresh- men set out not with picks and shovels, but with sharpened pencils and newly pur- chased books. The forty-niners of both centuries had a common goal, the hope of accomplishment. Theirs was for material wealth, ours for intellectual growth. Bewilderment and confusion confronted us almost instantaneously. Sophomore members of the Student Council, acting as sentinels of the traffic squad, helped us to adiust ourselves to the new physical surroundings with their cries of Back stairs, not the front stairs. Even with this aid we invariably found ourselves in the wrong room. There were, however, two very unfamiliar but much discussed offices that even we could never mistake - those of Miss Shea and Mr. Fernald. lt was not long before we eventually became acclimated to our surroundings. Our rush could then begin. We did not care for the pure strain of a solely academic gold, ours was to be enriched through activities and social events. The Halloween party was the initial social gathering for Lyman Hall freshmen. With Bob Hall as master of ceremonies and with a marvelous display of the talents of various members of the class, we did not lack entertainment. The refreshments, however, held the greatest charm for us and proved to be the most popular feature of the evening. Later in the year through the auspices of WMMW, five pupils - Maureen Fritz, .loan Gavin, Gloria Dichello, Steve Cerri, and Milton Hultgren from Miss Robert's social studies classes spoke on their tour of the United Nations. We were not only learning, but were beginning to express ourselves. September, '50 - As Sophomores our knowledge continued to pour in as sifted gold. As a reward for withstanding the trials and tribulations of freshman year, we could now look forward to being the respected and envied half of the afternoon classmen. One of the bright spots of the long winter season was the Sophomore dance. Mike Cassello and his committee were commended for their artistic winter decorations. ln spite of an unexpected storm that arose during the evening the spirits of the stu- dents were not dampened. A meritorious achievement, one in which we took great pride, was an outstand- ing essay written by Lois Zimmerman on Americanization, which was entered in the American Legion Contest and won first prize in both town and state contests. 10 September, '51 - Now we were iuniors! Upper classmen at last! Earlier hours, harder studies, and less time for leisure, but upperclassmen! The initial move was that of choosing leaders: foreman, Arthur Catapano, assistant foreman, Robert Williams, recorder, Judith Wilson, and dccountant, Robert Parisi. One of the symbols of our achievements came in the form of our class rings. We felt that there could be more unity among classes if these rings bore a standard crest. For one year a committee worked diligently toward this goal, which was finally achieved in the early winter of our junior year. This year we presented the mysterious melodrama, Sky High, under the direction of Miss Ruth E. Dunlap and the chairmanship of Stanley Rosick. As in previous years we found the audience very susceptible to mysteries. Much credit was given to Dorothy Lentz, Joan Walters, and Elizabeth Sundberg for their fine acting. The iunior prom was a glittering event, with its theme, An American in Paris. Through the clever depicting of gay Parisian scenes, the decorating committee lent a Continental air to the dance. The chairmen were Dorothy Dederick and Richard Huie. September, '52 - The time was now approaching when we could once again see the light of the outside world. We were to find ourselves very much changed from the immature students who had entered four years before as freshmen. Our class officers this year were Robert Williams, president, Robert Hazard, vice- president, Jane Novak, secretary, and Barbara Dobratz, treasurer. The senior dance was held early in November. In keeping with the theme, Regal Rhapsody, Judy Wilson was crowned queen, with Janet Foucault and Dorothy Deder- ick completing the court as her attendants. Robert Hall and Steve Cerri served as co- chairmen of this very impressive occasion. November was a very busy month. Not only had we worked for a senior dance but also for a class play, The Daffy Dills. Lee MacDonald's tantrums, Barbara Do- bratz's fiery temper, and Arlene Posner's pretended illness produced peals of laughter from the audience. Not. long after, flash bulbs could be seen at various times during the morning session. Yes, pictures were being taken for our yearbook and we soon found out whether or not we were photogenic. Also at this time, the topic most discussed was college boards. With the assistance of teachers, who willingly gave up their free time, the students worked long and diligently at afternoon make-up sessions, but the re- sults showed that their efforts had not been in vain. After the hard work of the winter months we were overjoyed to have our basketball team win the Class B State Champion- ship by defeating the previously unbeaten East Haven team. Then we made our selection of caps and gowns and realized our four years of high school would soon be over. We entered Lyman Hall with the same carefree spirit of the eighteen forty-niners. We, too, found out that this spirit could not endure through hardship. We had to become adiusted to an adult world in order to cope with the problems that accompany manhood and womanhood. We look toward the future with the hope and determination to become successful in all we undertake, to become good citizens, and to make our country a safe and better place in which to live. Words cannot express our gratitude to the teachers who with patience and understanding guided us through these four unforgettable years and implanted in our minds that Success is made, not won. -H Janet Foucault Adrienne Vitali SENI ORS THEADORA ABBATE u-Teddyu A likeable girl with a likeable way.

To Miss Carroll, we leave our limitless energy, knowing she will need it next year. To Mrs. Lyman, we leave all our aches and pains, sore throats and excuses, knowing she will never have a class as neurotic as ours.

We, Steve Cerri and Raymond Glenn, do hereby bequeath our artistic talents to anyone who likes to doodle in his spare time.

We, the three beauties of the Class of '53, Judy Wilson, Janet Foucault, and Dorothy Dederick, leave the suspense and ensuing excitement as well as the thrill and honor of being chosen queen and attendants to the lucky three in the Class of '54.

I, Bob Williams, do hereby bequeath all the headaches and sleepless nights from being number one man of the class to the future president of the Class of 1954. I, the voice of the Compass, alias Mike Mastroianni, do hereby bequeath to all future Compass editors the agony of reading clever little poems over the amplifier in rich, mellow tones like mine. I, Milton Hultgren, leave my chemistry apron to anyone who likes to be tied up in knots. I, Willi Dowd, leave my ability to get into mischief to Sandra Doolittle, who seems to be doing all right by herself. We, Richard Brooks and Joan Massini, leave our great love for music to Louis Parisi and Virginia Clark. We, Maureen Robinson, Pat Roche, and Nila Dougan, leave the three front desks in the study hall to the up-and-coming social butterflies, Betsy Bunting, Margie Jackson, and Mary Goodwin. I, Nancy Ohr, leave my thrushlike voice to Doris Rider with the hope that she will eventually ioin me at Carnegie Hall. We, Dianne Worrall and Brenda Fitzgerald, leave to the writers of next year's will, our time, our patience, three chewed-up pencils, our thinking caps, and our' love for Lyman Hall. - Dianne Worrall 57 - Brenda Fitzgerald THE PROPHECY Fifteen years have elapsed and at last Wallingford has a new high school. This ultramodern building, which is the largest and most beautiful in the state, was constructed by the Hayden and Harrison Construction Company. We find that it is the night of open house for the alumni. We recognize the names of many of our classmates on the faculty of the new school. Bucky Catapano, the new coach, and his assistant, Dick Momparler, have turned out the best Class A basketball team in the state. Joan Gavin is director of girls' sports, Janet Foucault, head of the math department, Pete Calamore, head of the English department, Harold Crandall is head of the science department, ond Ray Glenn, the art department. In the spacious gymnasium we find a large group sitting in comfortable red leather chairs, which were donated by Vincent Pacileo, owner of a large furniture store. At once we recognize Robert Williams, President of the United States. We recall his campaign slogan, Will will ! l l He is surrounded by some of his staff - Jane Novak, secretary of state, Robert Gaiser, secretary of the treasury, Charles Killam, secretary of agriculture, Raymond Brown, postmaster- general, Alice Goodrich, secretary of labor. Lurking in the shadows are several F.B.l. men. We recognize Happy MacFarlane, Edmund Kinney, John Mushinski, and Gabriel Danorovich, busy guarding the President. We hear the sweet strains of music and recognize it to be that of Anthony Mortagua and his orchestra. Some of his musicians are Tony and his singing sax, Dick Brooks on the cornet, Buddy St. Arnold, pianist, and Virginia Schott, vocalist. We are happy to see with us David Huie, president of the C.l.O. mine workers, Beverly Mottram, famous archaeologist, who discovered the secret of preserving mummies, Ann Liedke and her assistant, Willi Dowd, who designed the Sea-Mour bathing suit. Dot Lentz is here with her TV partner, Roger Morin. They are credited with introducing Shakespeare to television viewers. All of a sudden many sighs are heard and all heads are turned toward the door. Making their gala appearance are four stars from Hollywood - Robert Hazard, star of the MacDonald studios, John Porto, former Olympic swimming star and now the latest Tarzan, crooner, Bob Richards, and the kids' favorite cowboy, Hoppalong Harris. With them are their secretaries - Joan Glenn, Alice Mansfield, Mickey Kilcoyne, and Eleanor Gello, who, incidentally, are all wearing mink coats. We open the cute programs, which were designed by Maureen Robinson, and find the main feature of the evening to be a play written by Joan Walters, entitled, Pink Cheeks and the Lost Gloves starring Arlene Posner. A new song, 58 Where's My Bunsen Burner? words by Agnes Carrozzella, lyrics by Dot Dederick, will be sung by Nancy Ohr. Agnes and Dot have had many other hits and Nancy is in demand at all the popular night clubs. Film strips of Mars and the outer atmosphere will be given by Professor Ronald McKosky. A roller skating exhibition will be presented by Mary Balogh and Nick Dolliver, and the latest fashions will be modeled by Bette Dunkavich and Pat Sass. These fashions were designed by the famous designers - Marie Foraker, Catherine Collins, and Ann Mastroianni, who have studios in the suburbs of North Haven. Our well-balanced dinner was planned by Verna Hems, dietician at the new Wallingford hospital. The steaks were donated by Johnson's Market, owned by Robert and Neal, the lobster by Shirley Goodrich, who manages a large fish hatchery and market, the cakes and bread were donated by Dave Rogers and Norman Plunske, co-owners of the Raising Raisin Bakery, milk and butter by An- gus's farm, and the vegetables and potatoes by Robert O'Connell. Elissa Cerrotti and Carol Coburn, famous chefs, volunteered to cook the meal. Grouped around a table in the corner is a group of avid sports fans listening to Joe St. Claire, big league star, tell of one of his toughest games when he made a triple play. Watching his every move are Lt. Irene Benyo and Maior Marge Coogan, who are now in the Women's Air Force. Right next to Joe is his manager, Ruth Orefice. Then, too, there are Carolyn Bennett, Gloria Corriveau, Loretta Dighello, and Barbara Schott, who are co-owners of the Change-Over Beauty Shoppe. Their slogan is We tint, we bleach, we cut with care, if ,that doesn't work, we'lI give you new hair. Betty Griswold and Anna Fazzino, who play for the Women Knickerbockers, and Patricia Roche and Barbara Stems, famous women wrestlers under the pseudonyms of Gorgeous Gussie and Paltry Penny are enioying the story. We notice that all Joe's audience are of the female sex, and it is a known fact that Joe is quite the ladies' man. Many of our class have traveled many miles to attend the open house. Zina Neverovich has come all the way from Lower Slavonia, where she runs a race track and stables, Mary Reig is iust returning from her honeymoon with her husband, Abner Shultz, who is the manager of the Popovich Oil Company, which is doing a gushing business. Walt Pluta and Mike Cassello have just returned to the states from the Aleutian Islands, where they hunt seals. By the way, Janet O'Grady, who owns a trading post there, has sent word by Mike and Walt that she is unable to attend because she has a business appointment with some Eskimos. Also among the missing are Stan Rosick, magician, famous for his hidden radio trick, who is now on tour, and Nick Gere, who is kangaroo- hunting in North Africa. In inspecting the classrooms we find a television set in every room. These were donated to the new school by Mel Swift, richest man in the world. They were installed free of charge by John Parker and Robert Warzocha, who manage and own a television factory. Many books have been given to the library by Lois Zimmerman, multi-millionaire. Among these books are I Was Bitten by an Armadillo in the Congo by Pat Csenge, How to Be a Pharmacist's Mate by Robert Hall, and The Secret of Success by Werner Fischer. Arriving late are Bob Parisi and Joe Dsupin, the most eligible bachelors in town and owners of Chauffe's Inn, specializing in apizza. They are soon fol- lowed by Helen Magyar, Brenda Fitzgerald, and Dianne Worrall, who have iust come off duty at the new hospital. They bring word that Dr. Hultgren and Dr. McCormack will be delayed because of an emergency operation. A little bit later Charlie Jennings arrives. He tells us that because his car broke down, he had to walk at least four miles. There is a crowd around the piano, laughing and singing as Buddy beats out a few of the old football songs. Enthusiastically singing are Ticky Horvath and JoAnn Matheson, who are affiliated with a traveling carnival, Richard Gaines, a travelling salesman for Chlorophyll Shampoo, Joan Massini, a nurse at the Cat, Dog, and Canary Hospital, John Marenna, engineer for the Carbonneau Rail- road Lines of New York, North Haven, and Northford, Mae Frost, weather-woman, who predicts the correct weather nine out of ten times, and Walter Cox, well- known sports commentator. 59 Doris Biornberg, leading socialite of the world, has just returned from a South American trip, where she saw a good many of our classmates. While in Buenos Aires she met Marie Paresi and Betty Sundberg, owners of Ye Little Serape Shoppe. She tells us that Nila Dougan is running a model agency in Brazil and two of her top models are Barbara Dobratz and Sally Tarcza. Doris also tells us about a small shop, the Canasta, which is run by Ellen Sauter, Frances Benarro, Kay Saunders, and Joan DeBaise. These four canasta wizards give the natives lessons in the game. While Doris was flying back to the United States, she recognized the steward- esses to be none other than Ann Corrazzini in Jackie Heikie and the pilots of the plane to be Clifford Averill and Richard Laden. The first stop for fuel was at Rio de Janeiro. She stopped at Everybody's Inn and found it operated by Mike Mastroianni and Bob Kofsuske. In the restaurant she was surprised to meet Audrey Silver and Adrienne Vitali, business women on vacation. The last stop made before landing in New York was in Mexico City, and the first person Doris met was Eleanor Tessmer. Bootsey, now vice-president of the Zowrotni Red Pencil Company of Mexico, is certainly leading a luxurious life. Bootsey gave Doris a list of some places to go if she had time and a few of the places were Beale's Ice Palace, Singer's Concert Hall, and the Cerri Art Museum. We were all happy to hear from Doris that our classmates are doing so well. We find many of our female classmates having a gab session. Putting in their few words are Clare Peck, manager of the new night club, Teddy Abbate's Alaskan Quarter, Joyce Logvin, secretary to Richard Huie, president of Huie Motors, Incorporated, Rosemary Laden, secretary of the Automatic Wheelbarrow Company, Barbara Behan, gossip columnist for the New York Times, Lois Liver- sidge, owner of the Hot Doggery, Ernestine Bourque, wife of the owner of the Kleenex Company. They are talking over the Ice Follies of 7968 in which our class is well represented by Mary Yatzook, Theresa Ceragioli, Claire Carlson, and Pilar Cortes. lt's also mentioned that Pat Desmond is the editor of the new magazine Compass. Her staff consists of Joan Castagnetti, Carol Pagni, Helen Semrau, and Jane Kowalski. Chatting at the door and ready to leave are Barbara Nicholls and Maureen Fritz, private secretaries for the Get Your Man Detective Agency and Marriage Bureau, Catherine Simeone, driver of the fastest hot rod in North Haven, Jean Sittnick, famous polar bear trainer, Judy Wilson, cute cover girl for Life, and Shirley Worthington, sax player for the Bopsters' symphony. We are all very sad when the evening ends, we have had a marvelous time at the open house, renewing old friendships and bringing back wonderful memories of the years we spent together at Lyman Hall, and we realize now, although we didn't then, that those were truly the Best Years of Our Lives. - Iris Freeman - Nancy Jacobs E.
