LYMAN HALL HIGH SCHOOL WALLINGFORD, CONNECTICUT THE CHRONICLE 1955 FOREWORD CONTENTS The classical tradition permeates every fiber of our modern civilization and culture. We owe much of our heritage of the past to the Romans, who not only continued but also greatly enhanced the contributions of the Greeks in shaping this tradition. Through the earnest endeavors of this illustrious race, the cornerstones of the literary, artistic, and legal phases of our modern civilization were laid. Throughout the ages the immortal verses of Vergil, the profound oratory of Cicero, the charming metrics of Horace, and the philosophy of Aurelius have served to enlighten and inflame the literary geniuses of various races. Dante, Marlowe, Shakespeare, Milton, and Ronsard attest to the lasting qualities of the works of their Roman predecessors. Many other fields besides literature have been touched by classical influence. After hundreds of years of progress we still find traces of Roman architecture in our modern buildings. We are also indebted to the Romans for the Latin language, from which over half of our English words have been derived. Latin is used extensively in scientific terms, mottoes, and quotations. Roman law and government have colored and molded our civilization perhaps more than any other single factor. We can hardly think or move without touching upon one of the innumerable contributions of the Romans. Without their classical influence our life today would be very different and certainly less interesting.

Thine our highest praise and glory E'er to thee we sing. —Caroline Loomis ’26 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Dear Classmates, Many times in the years to come, we shall recall our days at Lyman Hall. As we grow older, we shall come to appreciate even more than we do now the patience of our teachers and their willingness to share their knowledge. These past four years at Lyman Hall have been filled with invaluable and unforgettable experiences. We have had moments of joy, pride, close companionship, and even sadness, which have helped mold our lives, polish some of our rough edges, and advance us a bit further toward maturity. You welcomed me as a friend and elected me president. For this I shall be forever grateful. May each of you enjoy success and happiness. Sincerely yours, John Bosnyak COLORS—Blue and White CLASS FLOWER—Rose MOTTO—Success is by acting, not wishing.

Burner SENIOR DANCE CHAIRMEN Kay Rosick, Cynthia Clark, James McCormack, Irving St. Arnold, John Godo SENIOR CLASS ADVISER Mr. Burner 21 CLASS HISTORY Through your portals we may wander expressed our sentiments for the first few weeks of high school as we stumbled in and out of unfamiliar rooms, meeting unfamiliar teachers. It was quite an astounding feat to find oneself in the proper room at the indicated time. Gradually as the year progressed, we became friends as well as classmates. In October we held the most memorable event of our freshman year, the never-to-be-forgotten Halloween party with plenty of fun and frolic for all. From the unknown hoboes, clowns, glamour girls, and witches, who cavorted about to make a hilarious evening, Marge Jackson, Bill Howland, Patty Lewis, Jerry Hall, and Jane Wrinn were selected to receive prizes. The rest of the year found us concentrating on our studies until the approach of warm weather when we turned our eyes from books and blackboards to the scenes outside the windows. Dreams of summer activities filled our minds until the glorious day when school was out and these thoughts could become realities. The fall of our sophomore year arrived. We were sure the school doors were open in welcome but a little uncertain as to how the teachers would react, since during the previous year we had become somewhat prankish in our ways. We greeted our classmates with confident smiles, quite in contrast to the solemn faces of the incoming freshmen. As the football season rolled around, we chose Barbara Jean Foucault, Carol Malaguti, Gail Grasser, and Gail Kowalski to lead us in cheering our basketball team to success. After winning the state championship, the members of the Cinderella Team were honored at a victory dance and were given an appropriate send-off for their trip to Boston. 22 HISTORIANS Nancy Vollhardt Loy Lamb Before we realized, our impressive junior year rolled around and we were at last upper classmen. To start our year properly, we chose our class officers— Jim McCormack, president; Dick Dombroski, vice-president; Sue Mottram, secretary; and Kathleen Quigley, treasurer. Our first activity was the selection of a class ring. Our next exciting event after our reorientation to a smooth schedule of pencils and books was the junior play, Come Over to Our House. The proceeds of this three-act comedy, successfully staged under the chairmanship of Mary Elizabeth Gross, helped us to put on the junior prom in May. The high lights of this Moonlight Serenade” were the grand march led by our president and his partner, Judy Fay; the captivating music of Tiny Markle’s band; and the artistic decorations created by Carol Malaguti and her committee. Betsy Regan and John Bosnyak were the efficient co-chairmen of this dance. During our junior year three of our classmates were recognized for outstanding talents. Lynn Becroft, an aquatic enthusiast, won the Cross Harbor two-mile meet in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and placed sixth in the three-mile Amateur Athletic Union meet in Detroit, Michigan; Charles Martin was elected parliamentarian at the Connecticut State Junior Classical League convention; and Joyce Reig, the small voice with the well-chosen words, w'as the winner of the New Haven area American Legion Oratorical Contest. The turning of the leaves in the fall brought us tramping to school again. At our first class meeting we elected John Bosnyak, president; Donald Vachon, vice-president; Robert Lockert, secretary; and Kathleen Quigley, treasurer, to lead us through our senior year. As the year progressed, various activities dominated our minds. Cynthia Clark and Irving St. Arnold were chosen co-chairmen of our senior dance, at which Betsy Regan, attended by Evelyn Fernandes and Julie Murano, was crowned queen. All who attended this Autumn Moon” dance will remember the sensational bunny hop, led by our real live “Bunny Collett. In December we were inspired by the Christmas pageant, for which Betsy Regan was the chairman. During the same month Mary Elizabeth Gross was selected by her classmates and the faculty to receive the Daughters of the American Revolution Good Citizenship Award for 1955. In January the cast was selected for the senior play, Curtain Going Up, which was successfully presented on March 24 and 25. Interviews with Miss Kennedy, as well as guidance programs, helped us to file applications to the schools and colleges of our choice. All too soon, graduation exercises brought our final year to a close. As we received our diplomas, the cherished memories and treasured experiences of our previous years drifted into our thoughts, and we fully came to appreciate the meaning of the words— Our fondest memories ere drift back to thee.” 23 GAIL BARTER Wee’ Unto the ground she cast her modest eye, and. ever and anon, with rosy red, the bashful blush her snowy cheeks did dye.

I, Barbara Bailey, hereby bequeath all my chewed-up encyclopedias and library books to any up-and-coming bookworm, hoping that lie can digest them as well as I have. We, the Class of '55, leave the memories of our tardy excuses, our many questions, and our repeated appearances in the office to Miss Houson and Mrs. England. I, Gene Fontanella, hereby bequeath my sportsman-like attitude to Paul Sabino and Joe White. (Editor's Note: We are sure there is enough for Paul and Joe plus the rest of the players on the Lyman Hall teams.) I, Nancy Vollhardt, leave all my oboe solos to Mary Sommers with the hope she can play all the notes without her face getting as red as mine has. We, the Class of '55, leave our amazing propensity for avoiding work and constant allergy to sign-up sheets to the Class of '56. May they make very little use of our gift. I, Jane Sobko, leave to Ted Runge all my paint brushes and unfinished masterpieces.

I, Sue Hazard, leave my thrushlike voice and the solo at the Christmas pageant to Hilary Grccnhalgh. We, Edward Zabrowski and Dick D” Dombroski, will our tuba playing to Roger Fekete and Roger Gay, two fine fellows who can play almost as loudly as we can. We, Lynn Becroft, Elaine Pagano, and Nicolina Iannuzzi, leave all our bulging muscles and our understanding of sports to the great athletes of the coming years —Joan Daly and Judy McMenamin. We, Janet Brown and Charles (MacNamara) Houlihan III, leave to Judy Fucci, David Stevens, and Francis Wheaton our first chairs in both the band and the orchestra. To them also we leave the thrill of their very first solos. I, Barbara Jean Foucault, will to next year's cheering captain all my sore throats, bruises, and wishes that she may get more cheers with less effort. I, John Parks, hereby bequeath my love scenes in the school plays to Roger Hancock. I, Bunny Collett, leave my accordion solos and my majorette uniform to anyone who has the nerve to meet the public. I, Louis Parisi, leave my talent for mixing up the band to Skip Adams, my able assistant. I, James McCormack, leave my good looks and personality to Ronald Riccio, a future Rock Hudson. We, the girls' gym classes, leave to Miss Cichocki all our possible but unbelievable excuses for missing class. We, the future secretaries of this great wide world, Irene Czaja, Anita Oliveira, Janet Riotte, Ethel Horvath, and Marie Olavage, leave to our competitors of later years our typing machines. I, George Trowbridge, will to Bruce Johnson all my photographic materials and my office of president of the Photography Club.

We, the Class of '55, leave to Mr. Tierney and his crew of helpers, Mr. Marko, Mr. Mellor, and Mr. Olson, a new broom with which to keep the sparkle on Lyman Hall's floors. We, Bonnie Hunter and Edward McGcc, can only leave to next year’s amateur pun-producers the same completion deadline, the same pay, and our assurance of a lot of fun. 45 ACTIVITIES First Row: Mary Lanzoni, Mary Lou Stevens.
