To each gives she hope, strength and knowledge As the depth of true friendship is tried; To each gives she mem’ries to cherish And her love and her care as a guide. Twenty-nine, may she often look backward Cross the vista of many a year; May there live in the heart of each comrade The mem’ries of joy and of cheer.

We can truthfully say that our football team was the best if that ever wore the colors of M. H. S., a team ;which won the central Con- necticut championship. Although we did not emerge as victors in all of our IG contests in basketball, baseball, and tennis, we attained the greatest honor fe) of all, that of good sportsmanship. Our track team has just concluded a if very successful season. The debating team has proven its worth, the dram- atic club has produced both fine actors and fine performances, and our liter- ary clubs have done fine work. “Somanhis Events” has been one of the fin- est of school papers. Truly, we can be proud of our class in its leadership | i ee.

You have done well in school activities. Carry on from this excellent beginning and as Seniors you are sure to do the great things for which you now give promise. Ft Tiler ear ve Sophomores: We are sure that you will make fine upperclassmen. Your fine spirit has been displayed both in athletics and social fields. Next year, as upperclassmen, if you continue your good work, M. H. S. will be proud of the class of ’31. PaPa Juniors: Next year you will have the joy and honor of being Seniors. Yours is a responsible position. ‘Take it seriously, and strive to uphold the colors of M. H. S. “Somanhis Events” will be your product; write for it, Hy subscribe to it, and work for it, so that you may be just as proud of it as we have been. Likewise, the success of our athletic teams depends largely upon | you. The Debating and Dramatic Clubs and all social functions depend on a) you, and remember that the Alumni look to you for their success. You must by “Go to it” with the good old fighting spirit of Manchester High School. Just Cj fe fight! fight! fight! and you can’t lose. Seniors: In a few more days we shall no longer have the honor of be- hs} ing the Senior Class of Manchester High School. All too soon must we take | leave of our school and each other, to start life anew; but wherever we are and whatever we do, may our memories bring‘ us back to our happy days to- gether. Let us always remember that we are but a few of the vast number of the alumni of M. H. S, who are working for its welfare. With the pres- entation of this trowel to the Junior class we now resign our position to them and accept for ourselves the larger responsibilities of life. William F.

A year ago you received this trowel and with it, the duties and responsibilities of Seniors. You have attained an en- viable reputation in scholarship and athletics. The success of all your class activities reflects your fine class spirit. Your class athletes have led our teams to victory in most of the major sports. ‘The Sock and Buskin Club, the Debating Team and the Glee Clubs have had, thanks to your efforts, a very successful year. Now you. have completed your four years of high school and are prepar- ed for your life work. Many of you will continue your education in higher pene and colleges. Although the next few years of your life will, per- haps, be the most difficult, you will be successful if you continue in the splendid spirit you have shown in your work at Manchester High School. Another year has passed, and it is now our duty and pleasure to accept this trowel. We will do our utmost to be honorable and energetic Seniors, We hope that our honor roll will be large and that our class athletes will continue to uphold the prestige of Manchester High School in all sports. If we can equal the record you have set before us, we shall be truly proud of our accomplishments. Again we thank you for the splendid example you have set before us, and again we promise to do our best to be worthy Seniors, Roy Johnson GRADUATION HONOR ESSAY—GROWING PAINS In behalf of the class of 1929, of the Manchester High School, I wish to extend a heart-felt welcome to you—school officials, who are the execu- tives of this institution; to you, principal, and teachers, who have given help- ing hands to us when we needed them during the past four years; to you, parents, who have sacrificed for our education and opportunities; to you friends, who have wished us well; and to you, schoolmates, who have help- ed to make our school career pleasant and full of happiness. May you en- joy, as much as we, these last exercises in which we participate as members of the student body of Manchester High School. During our four years’ stay here we have experienced, besides our many pleasant times, some difficulties and hardships which we may well call grow- ing pains. Growing pains are usually attributed only to children who are passing too rapidly from the young, light, supposedly care-free period of their lives into a more mature period which includes the taking-up of responsibility and work. We may, I believe, consider our graduation this evening as a growing pain. Not that we suffer physically in any way, but that we must, of necessity. sever abruptly, ties of friendship and comraderie which we have woven together in the four pleasant years which we have spent in this school. It, moreover, signifies our passing into. another phase of life, into another period of years which are more difficult and contain more duties and obliga- tions. A few of us, have, of course, already felt to some extent the weight of responsibility. But we all, I think, may consider this evening as the turning point, or shall I say beginning, of our lives and careers, for from FIT TDI TITS SS ae ee ee ee se Oe Se se CARI.

We shall be full-fledged young men and women. At the crisis of the Revolutionary War, Thomas Paine published a series of political essays. The first of these began with this electrical battle-cry, “These are the times that try men’s souls!’ We all seem to have the feel- ing that the soul of a man, or his character, is tested only by a crisis. The truth of the matter is, however, that every day brings its test, big or little; that every day tries a man’s soul; that every day, for the man who develops in mind, in body, and in character, is a growing pain. Not only we, as individuals, but we, as a class, and Manchester High Schcol, as a school, have felt and will continue to feel growing pains. No one is too old to suffer them. In other words, no one is too old to learn, to develop, or to become bigger in every sense. As a class, in this past semester especially, we have felt not only the gradual, but, at times, the sudden broad- ening of our minds and a growing ability to meet a crisis. Take for instance the task of accumulating the money for our trip to Washington. Different groups and group leaders had first to lay out plans, and then to execute them. There were unexpected obstacles to meet and overcome. All this was a form of growth and development in a certain sense, and might be called a growing pain. This, however, is not the only growing pain the class has had. I cannot enumerate more, for they are, as the old guide at the Treasury Building in Washington said, “Too numerous to mention.” We may take as a general case our inter-class and inter-school contests. We may have won; we may have lost. The result makes little difference, for the effort sustained in the strenuous training in preparation for the actual contest is what counts, what I call our growing pains. They are the price of progress. We may go even further and say that not only an individual, or a class, or an institution, but the world as a whole, has suffered and endured its growing pains. Moreover, it will continue to experience them, for suffering, or pain, followed by development, is the law of nature, the law of life. Noth- ing can be gained without some kind of struggle. In speaking of the world, consider the many inevitable wars, through which we have passed. In many cases they were fought for a good cause, a cause which could not have lived had not the war been fought. In America our wars constitute the steps in the evolution of our government. Take for instance, the Revolution which brought us freedom from England and the Civil War which gave us unifica- tion and the abolition of slavery. Wars are out-standing events which we would all probably recognize as steps to world progress. | However, the comparatively insignificant, everyday affairs, which may not cause world, nation, or even city-wide comment, but which, nevertheless, have a bearing upon our daily lives, either in a political, a commercial, an intellectual, or a spiritual way, must be taken into consideration. These, I feel, are as much growing pains as are the fierce and far-reaching events of war. They are all stages through which the world has had to pass, in order to gain her present comparatively prosperous condition, her present state of knowledge and of general culture. I do not mean, classmates, to stress the hardships and difficulties of the life which we are entering, for the unpleasant things in life are undoubt- edly out-numbered by the pleasant ones. The joy of success and that “good feeling” which one invariably experiences after an achievement fully balances the preparation and hard work which is entailed. This is the point I want to stress.

MALU AAACENAT A A A. Modin ’29 aan GRADUATION HONOR ESSAY—ASSETS OR LIABILITIES In the modern day the world has many prominent men who are con- sidered heroes. When you hear of a startling invention, of a transatlantic flight, of a trip by air to the North Pole, or of a new plan for. world peace, you, along with the rest of this generation, take for granted that the man in back of the marvelous work is a hero. A man may gain credit for sev- erai achievements, but, if he has done them for himself and for no one else, he is not a hero. A well-known preacher once defined an asset as some- thing you take in for yourself and a liability as something for which you are responsible. If a man has many assets and few liabilities, is he worthy to be called heroic? Life is a mere matter of bookkeeping. The assets, in due time, should be posted on the left-hand page of the ledger as liabilities. The life book is kept like a ledger in a bank. The balance-sheet must balance! The majority of our modern-day heroes have one very important liability— one superb task which is a responsibility to them. It may be the comple- tion of a gigantic engineering project; it may be a successful flight from New York to Paris; it may be the organizing of a plan whereby world peace | will be insured. In the eyes of every loyal American, Herbert Hoover is a hero. You might seem to be justified in calling his accomplishment merely an asset, but think it over. After Mr. Hoover heard the announcement come over the air on the night of November 6, 1928, he thanked his fellow-citizens for electing him. However, on the following day he sent out the message that he was happy that his fellow-citizens had enough confidence in him to be- stow upon him the responsibility of the most powerful position in the world. | SRCR CREAT Ree ee Par J a 4 te TAL Of etetate ears We eae e tere es Aaa a yon a5 a. MPuts reruririr uJ Thus, within a few hours the asset was posted as a liability. Mr. Hoover did not forget that the philosophy of true living is summed up in these words: “Myself, my country, my world! Myself, not for myself, but for my country; my country, not for itself, but for the world.” The balance sheet of our president’s life book will balance; his assets have been posted. In this world of selfishness it is a true pleasure to discover someone who is leading a life of service and self sacrifice and who is enjoying it. In Dr. Wilfred Thomason Grenfell, who was called by the lure of the Labrador, we Americans have a man who is worthy to be a hero to us. Dr. Grenfell braves the storms of the most dangerous of all sea-coasts and endures the hardships of arctic winters to care for the lonely fisherfolk of Labrador. He met the world face to face when his call came, and now, combined with a | life of action and adventure, he has found one of service to others. This LPP Pur irr iri iii NIK IDINE PII NIDIADS PERS S 2 world has not very thoroughly considered what Dr. Grenfell has done and is ? still doing in those Labrador wilds. He is one of those men who is a real 2 hero and yet is not proclaimed abroad. Dr. Grenfell has not only spent sev- ? eral years of his life in his missionary work, but he has willingly financed his various schemes himself. He has kept nothing for his-own but a very Tees Seas RAE OP RP RE SS SE DASE DISD Ra 5a A RRR LEA A Se eR eee ixtey = Uhirty-Kive Ghee DFA PAPA — ———— — ————— - .

Aviation in the last few years has given to us many heroes. A lean, tanned face smiled from a closed airplane cabin at a cheering crowd; a long, strong hand flipped good-bye to the receding earth; the tan face wiped out the smile and reset its lines in serious determination; a long, gray, man- made bird, that seemed to be the symbol of the gallant soul in its cabin, rose heavily towards the clouds. Charles A. Lindberg, “the flying fool,” had started for Paris. A few days later he returned as the guest of the nation on a transatlantic liner; he had succeeded. Lindbergh flew, not for the world- wide fame which was at once attributed to him, but for the flight itself. Was Pau ae) ae. oe eave ay . 4 2 FELEITN IEE LAY ore ee eek A a Pasa ce ee eee his accomplishment an asset or a liability? He gave civilization something; he was made responsible for something. He was not conquered, and in his life book his flight has been posted as a liability. Lieutenant Commander Richard Evelyn Byrd heard the call of arctic lands. He answered that call and another—the Call to Courage. He risk- ed his life to blaze a trail to the unknown regions of the North Pole. What reason could a man have for advancing into lands which almost no man had ever seen before him? The Commander himself stated that he went to ver- ify Perry’s observations and to demonstrate the feasibility of using airplanes in any part of the globe. Mr. Byrd did not go for the fame and the material things which he would receive if his flight were successful; he w ent in order to give something to aeronautics. With his goal shining before him and with courage in his heart, he set out to succeed because he realized that his deed was one of service for others. In the history of America, John J. Pershing, General of the American Armies during the recent war, is a gleaming light as a heroic figure. He successfully led the military forces of his father-land through the fiercest struggle in his history. Pershing was not only a general, but also a strate- i gist, a tactician, and an administrator. John Pershing was made a hero not | so much because of what he did—not because he led the army safely through the enemy lines to St. Mihiel or because of his strategic scheme was respon- sible for the advance to Armageddon—but more because of the spirit in which these deeds were accomplished. Although he did not go out of his way to seek popular applause and did not attempt to make occasion for ova- tions, yet, when he returned, he was a national hero. General Pershing would not permit the armies in France to idolize or idealize him. He was | VT at ‘is Fares! Fatabalicry bleh le — 7� “ea TRPRPa nl Pte ss Lrirerirvi fighting the same cause as they. The common feeling between the General and the army was that they were doing their part and he was doing his. Gen- eral Pershing’s work in France has surely been posted as a liability in his life-book. After all, we discover that those men whose achievements have been the most valuable in life and who have been worthily named heroes—whether in the field of aviation, of medicine, of science, of soldiery, or of statesman- ship—have led lives of self-sacrifice and service. Each deed has been a re- sponsibility—a liability, posted on the left-hand page of the Ledger of Life. The balance sheet of the life-book of each will balance.

Secretary Under the leadership of Miss Nute anc the Debating Club of 1928- 1929, held its meetinges in Room 16, every Monday afternoon during the seventh period. Prior to the Triangular Debate, Jacob Rubinow and Robert Smith represented Manchester High School at a meeting in Middletown for the purpose of preparing for the most important event of the season—THE TRIANGULAR DEBATE. On December 2, 1928, George Flavell and Jacob Rubinow debated before the Kiwanis Club on the subject, Resolved: The Emphasis Placed on Modern Advertis- ing is Detrimental. On February 11, 1929, the Debating Team was chosen, the members of which were as follows: for the affirmative, Charlotte Rubinow, Joseph McCluskey, and Jacob Rubinow; for the negative, Eva Koehler, Carl Cubberly, Marian Janes, and Eleanor Dwyer. The following month brought the long-awaited event of the season, and although we suffered defeat, both at home and abroad, our teams deserve a great deal of praise and credit. Our negative team went to Meriden, while our affirmative time suffered a slight defeat at home. The members of the Club from the Senior Class were Joseph McCluskey, Julia Shaw, Mary; Stephens, Marian Hills, George Flavell, Jacob Rubinow, Robert Smith, Elsie Newcomb, Everett Glenney, Esther Holmes, Eleanor Dwyer, Edna Fox, Kenneth Graham, Eva Koehler, and Sylvia Hagedorn. Members from the Junior Class were Carl Cubberly and Marian Janes. Members from the Sophomore Class were Char- lotte Rubinow and Margaret Quinn. Debating in M. H. 8S. needs the whole-hearted support of the student body and without, that support we can never win the coveted H. Wales Line cup. Next year'the coaches and remaining members of the club will be glad to welcome to its midst all students who have any interest in debating whatsoever. The seniors of this or- ganization who are graduating in June, hope that next year will prove to be the most successful year that any Debating Club in Manchester High School has ever enjoyed and remember—“Where there’s a will there’s a way!” Thirty-Nine SOCK AND BUSKIN Top Row: Radding, Treat, Knight, Miss Gist, McComb, Benson, Anderson, Bendall, Cubberly.

SOCK AND BUSKIN Although the plan to give two major performances had to be abandoned the Dramatic Club has had an, altogether successful year under the direction of Miss Gist. In addition to presenting plays at meetings of three organizations outside of the high school, and helping to make possible the successful performances of “The Whole Town’s Talking’ sponsored by Washington Group I, Sock and Buskin members have presented eight one act plays and one full length play. Innovations in the club's schedule have been the attendance of the Club at “The Connecticut Yankee”, and the open program in April. “The Artist”, “Grandma Pulls the Strings”, “The Step Mother’, “A Pipe of Peace”, “The Game of Chess”, “The'Man on the Kerb”, “Figureheads”’, and “On the Lot’’,— one act plays, were presented during the course of the year. Of these the two popular perhaps, were “The Game of Chess”, and “On the Lot”. The cast for “The Game of Chess” consisted of Florence Schildge, in the difficult male role of Alexis, the Czar of Russia; Victor Swanson as Boris, the down-trodden peasant; McComb, a Russian statesman; and Cubberly, the footman. In “On the Lot”, the part of “The Girl” was taken by Dorothy Armstrong, of “The Boy”, by Florence Schildge, and “Props”, James Wilson. Florence Schildge’s remarkable portrayal of the male parts in these two plays has been a noteworthy feature of her work this year. James Wilson, Mary Reardon, Florence Schildge, Robert Mercer, Elizabeth Janes and Raymond Benson participated in “The Whole Town’s Talking.” Wilson’s inter- pretation of the lead accounted for much of the popularity of this play. “Pal’s First”, the major play of the year, was a creditable performance. Victor Swanson in the lead was outstanding. Mary Reardon played successfully, the part of the ingenue, the type of part for which she shows particular ability. Mary Henderson interpreted with her usual spirit, the part of the negro servant, Aunt Caroline. Dorothy Armstrong, acting as Aunt Alicia, an aged Southern gentlewoman, gave a skillful characterization. Elliott Knight, as the southern judge was convincing. Although with the graduation of the class of 1929, the club loses a talented and experienced group of actors, the juniors have proved by their work in “Pals First”, and the minor performances that there remains plenty of good material for next year’s work.

Besides having played for every High School Assembly, the orchestra has appeared in public concert. These appearances include these: the Lincoln School Kindergarten Christmas party, the League of Women Voters, the Town Player’s presentation of “The Poor Nut” at the Circle Theatre, the Connecticut Manufacturers’ Association at Cheney Hall, the presenta- tion of “Pals’ First” by the Sock and Buskin Club at Cheney Hall, the pres- entation of “The Whole Town’s Talking” by Group I of the Washington Trip Fund, the Carnival, the Triangular Debate, the Evening School Gradua- tion, and the Commencement Exercises. Olive Smith and Edward Dziadus have been members of the orchestra for four years.

LE CERCLE FRANCAIS Le Cercle Francais under the direction of Miss Kelley, Miss Rook and Miss Walsh, has met several times throughout the year. The purpose of this organization is to promote the use of French outside the classroom. Any student who is taking third year French and receives a passing mark is eligible to join the club. A second year French student who receives “B”, and a first year French student who receives “A” may also join. The mem bership of the club for this year has far surpassed in numbers the member- ship of any previous year. The meetings are held every two weeks. There is first a business meeting and then a social hour under the direction of the entertainment committee. The French Club has enjoyed three successful seasons, and it promises to have even more successful seasons in the future. Fourty-Two STUDENT COUNCIL Top Row: Murphey, O'Leary, Dotchin. Middle Row: Cubberly, Murphey, ‘tomlinson, Waddell. Front Row: Robertson, Johnston, Glenny, Vriest, Cheney, Heck. STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council is composed of memb ers of the three upper classes, each home room being represented by one member. The Council meets with Principal Quimby to discuss matters relating to the student body, act- ing in an advisory capacity. The Council has the power to make recom- mendations, subject to the approval of the school officials. Probably the most important function of the Council is the awarding of athletic letters, and the nomination of assistant athletic managers. By means of the Student Council it has been possible for the school authorities to maintain more intimate connections with the members of the student body.

LEADERS’ CLASS Leaders Class is composed of twenty-four girls in the three upper classes. New members are admitted each year, according to rank in competitive examinations. These consists of a floor test in advanced apparatus and game skill, and a written test in game rules, administration and sportsmanship. Members of the class from the preceding year act as judges. The aim of the class is two fold. First, it gives the members advanced work in apparatus and games. Second, it teaches them how to coach, and to manage classes. Unfortunately, the class meets only once a week, which is inadequate for the mass of material to be presented. All girls in seventh and eighth grades and high school should feel indebted to Leaders Class for a much more comprehensive course in physical education than could otherwise be offered. Educationalists everywhere are emphasizing the importance of informal gymnastic activities which teach skills of use in later life. It is impossible to give these activities, say basketball for instance, in a class of fifty. By dividing the large classes into two or three smaller groups, each in a separate gymnasium un- der a leader, it becomes possible for every girl to acquire some skill in games. The Leaders in turn, learn something of the management of people. Individuality and a sense of responsibility are fostered. The poise and ability to lead, so developed, are of inestimable value in later life.

The officers who preside over their meetings, which are held every other week, are: Ruth Helwig, president; Laura Nelson and Mary Henderson, vice-presidents; Gladys Harrison, secretary ; Laura West, treasurer. In the recent Connecticut Business Educators Association Contest, Julia Selwitz won a bronze medal for winning third place, transcribing, with- out error, material dictated at eighty words a minute, solid matter. The “Mercurians” also held a transaction contest, the material of which was dictated at 100 words a minute. “Alice Modin won the prize of five dollars in gold. To next year’s “Mercurians”, we give the challenge of winning both the eighty-word and one hundred-word dictation tests in the State contest.

BAND Under the leadership of Mr. Harold Turkington, the Manchester High School Band has had a very successful year. It has furnished music for many occasions. During the year it has played at the football games, the basketball games, and the baseball games. It also gave a short concert at the High School Carnival. Besides the school activities in which it has taken part, it has played in a few parades. The first one was the Armistice Day Parade, then the General Motors Day Parade, in which, it led the procession, and last of all the Memorial Day parade. This year the band was a little too strong in the cornet section, while the bass section was a little weak, due to the lack of players for that part. Next year the band hopes to have a bass section as well as a cornet section. During the year the band has bought many new marches and a few modern songs. Next year the band hopes to increase its membership to about thirty pieces. All the members of the band wish to thank Director Turkington very much for the wonderful way in which he has helped the band, and the interest he has taken in it. The officers for the year have been: President—Reginald West Secretary—Robert Lyons Vice-President—Russell Clough Treasurer—Carl Cubberly The members of the band for the past year are as follows: Cornets—West, Case, Samuelson, Lyons, Bendall, Steinberg, Cubberly. Saxaphones—Helm, Obrenski, Lloyd, Case. Drums—O’Bright, Keith, Snow, Rollason. Bass—Warnock, Glenney, Carey, McKinney, Clough, Edwards. Drum Major—Wilson. Director—Harold Turkington. Fourty-Sir Pe et Nts COMBINED GLEE CLUBS GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB This year the Central Connecticut Interscholastic Contest and Commencement were the two outstanding events for the Girls’ Glee Club. The girls have been work- ing very hard and as a result, the club shows quite an improvement over previous years. About ten of the Senior girls from the club put on the Christmas assembly. They represented a group of old English singers and sang many beautiful old carols. About twelve Senior girls and boys from the clubs sang at Cheney Hall on Memo- rial Day. The same group sang Class Day. The club has sixty-six members. The officers are: President, Olive R. Smith; Secretary, Ellen Lyons; Assistant Secretary, Doris Muldoon; Librarian, Ida Shaw. We must not forget to say a word about Thelma Carr, who has been our very effi- cient accompanist for the past two years. BOYS’ GLEE CLUB OFFICERS President—William Johnson Secretary—James Wilson Vice-president—Victor Swanson Librarian—Marshall Finlay Assistant Librarian—Horace Burr The annual C. C. I. L. Glee Club contest was held in Meriden on April 12, and the cup which was won by Manchester High last year went to William Hall High School of West Hartford, and the cup has now been won by three different schools, the other one being East Hartford High. However, Miss Dorward has no fears but. what we will become permanent possessor of the trophy within the next two years. The club in spite of its defeat, has had a very successful year, making the following public appearances: Carnival, Assembly—April x ht Assembly —Shakespeare Program, Assembly—Memorial Day Exercises, Graduation Exercises. The Glee Club owes much of its success to its splendid accompanist, Miss Carr. A senior class-male quartet was organized at the beginning of the present school year, the members being chosen from the Boys’ Glee Club. It was the first attempt ever made to organize one, but the efforts of Miss Dorward and the boys were well re- paid, because the quartet has enjoyed tremendous success. Its personnel is as fol- lows: William Johnson, first tenor; Kenneth Graham, second tenor; John Johnston, first base; Warren Case, second base.

MANCHESTER HI-Y President—Leslie Buckland Vice President—Edward Markley Secretary Treasurer—William Davis Athletic Manager—Elliot Knight Leader—Mr. Chester Robinson Assistant Leader—Mr. Raymond Pillsbury The Manchester Hi-Y has just completed its eighth and most successful year of work. Its purpose, “to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and com- munity, high standards of Christian character,’ has been most successfully accom- plished under the outstanding leadership of President Leslie Buckland. The club holds its meetings every other Tuesday at the Center Congregational Church. Through the kindne of church authorities the club has had the privilege of using one room of the church for its meetings. This year the meetings have been conducted in a very satisfactory manner under the supervision of President Buckland and Mr. Robinson, faculty advisor. The club has been fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Robinson and also of Mr, Pillsbury. Both have taken a great interest in the club and have aided much in making it very successful. The members highly appreciate their splendid work and help. A definite program has been planned for each meeting by the president. The club has been favored with many worth while speakers secured through the Hartford County Y. M. C. A. or by local authorities. For the first time in the history of the Hi-Y a dance was given by the local Hi-Y in the High School Assembly Hall. The dance was a most successful undertaking and promises to be an annual affair. Due to the efforts of those in charge of the club work the attendance this year far surpassed that of other years.

Parnes vorareTs | REVIEW OF THE SEASON Manchester 12 East Hartford 0 The opening game of the season was played with one of our league rivals, East Hartford, on September 28 at the West Side. Our crimson-clad warriors made an auspicious start toward the league title by defeating East Hartford 12-0. The scores came as a result of passes and line bucks by Dowd and Squatrito respectively. Manchester 12 Middletown 6 Middletown like East Hartford fell a victim to our powerful football squad when it came to Manchester on October 6. Middletown put up a stubborn de- fense throughout the game but Manches- ter finally scored on a trick play. Mid- dletown, aided by a Manchester fumble, then placed the pigskin over our goal for their only score. Manchester again overpowered the opponents to score on a criss-cross. The heavy line seemed to function more evenly than it did in our initial encounter. Manchester 6 Bristol 0 Manchester was successful in repeat- ing her first two victories when we met our ancient and honorable rival, Bristol, on October 13 at Bristol. Our one touchdown was made by straight foot- pball-end runs, off-tackle plays, and line bucks. The conquering of our third league rival brought the first substantial visions of the league championship to Manchester High School. Manchester 20 Meriden 0 Manchester journeyed to Meriden on October 20 not too optimistic about vic- tory as we had never beaten the League Champions since football was reorganiz- ed a few years ago. Our well-executed offense and sterling defense overwhelm- ed the title holders, however; and when the final whistle blew, the score was 20-0. Manchester 26 West Hartford 6 The deciding game in which our team annihilated West Hartford on October 26 gave us the Central Connecticut In- terscholastic League Championship. The game was a walkaway for us in every department. The first score came when West Hartford fumbled and “Tubby” Johnson carried the ball over our goal. Our opponent’s only tally was the result of a penalty and long run. This is the first time in football history that Man- Pifty-Four chester has won the championship, and this record is rather remarkable in as much as the team was undefeated. Manchester 0 Warren Harding 24 Our team was sorely beaten when we encountered Warren Harding on Novem- ber 3 in the “battle of mud puddles”. Manchester, being the lighter team, was at a tremendous disadvantage and was also handicapped by its inability to handle a wet ball. The Bridgeport outfit made their points the last half of the game. Manchester 18 Bulkeley 6 The Red and White outclassed a worthy rival when we swamped Bulk- eley at the West Side on November 9. Buikeley’s score was realized by forward passes, and long end runs paved the way for our tally. Manchester 12 Windham 0 When our boys went to Windham and demolished their plucky combination on November 17, the season was at a cli- max. Throughout the game the rivalry was very acute, this being the first de- feat of Windham on its home field by Manchester in gridiron history. From our standpoint the score was none too large, as the team had numerous oppor- tunities but took advantage of only two. Windham was on the defense dur- ing most of the game. Manchester 0 Naugatuck 46 Manchester met a veritable tornado when it lined up against Naugatuck, State Champions, at the West Side on November 24. This was the last game of the year, and our defeat gave Nauga- tuck the undisputed mythical state title. ACCOMPLISHMENTS Manchester won for the first time the Central Connecticut Interscholastic League Championship. Manchester defeated Windham for the first time on Windham’s field. Manchester defeated Bristol for the first time on Bristol’s field. Manchester defeated Meriden for the first time on any field, Manchester until defeated by Nauga- tuck was considered as possible mythi- cal State Champions.

SWIMMING Captain, LESLIE BUCKLAND Coach, WILFRED CLARKE Manager, LESLIE BUCKLAND CHAMPIONSHIP SUMMARY Manchester won Central Connecticut Interscholastic title for the second succes- sive time. Manchester placed third in the Yale Interscholastics or State Meet against a field of fifteen high school teams. REVIEW OF SEASON The tank team enjoyed an exceptional schedule this year. Our first victory was Holyoke High, who tasted defeat for the first time in their own pool. Our next tri- umph was over Bridgeport Central by a threefold score. We visited Canterbury Prep the following week to be demolished by a much stronger team which in reality was out of our class. Roxbury Prep came to Manchester a while later to submerge us by taking the last event, the relay. This was one of the best contests witnessed this season. New Haven Hillhouse came to Manchester on Februray 16 and overcame our swimmers by 2 points. This undoing was the only one inflicted by a high school organization during the year. In the League Meet at Bristol the team won every first except one, and a majority of the seconds and thirds. This victory entitled us to the second leg on the League Trophy, and if repeated next year our school may claim the trophy, permanently. The following day we visited Connecticut Aggie and easily annuled their freshman team by a 40 point margin. Being somewhat crippled from the loss of our divers, we were beaten by a slight margin when we met Deerfield at Amherst Pool, on March 9. In our last home meet our team held Hartford Public to a minimum of points when they were bewildered by a 48-14 score. The last contest of the year was the Yale Interscholastics, in which we placed third. Captain Buckland and Warnock placed in their events and the relay team was successful, tak- ing second place. Alll-in-all the season was the most successful that the school has ever attempted in this sport.

In the first game of the season with Rockville “Ted” Lupien fractured his right thumb. Trueman, veteran pitcher, has resigned his position at school to accept a job with an ice company. The remaining men of last year’s varsity who are in their regular positions are Captain “Ernie” Dowd, McConkey, and Moriarty. The lack of experience: of the “green’’ material, the loss of two high calibre players, and brother “jinx” are the reasons why Manchester is not faring as well as one might wish so far this season. The team is trying for a come-back, however, and after observing the close scores of the last games, it is very likely that Manchester may spring a big surprise in the near future. The team started off the schedule with,what seemed to be exceptional form, as we easily overcame Rockville. We lost every following encounter and are now fighting an uphill game to overcome the “breaks.” Manchester has a tough job to pull out of this rut; but it will be done, as the team continues to improve every day.

In addition a good turnout of new material was realized and Coach Wigren has moulded one of the best track teams to ever represent Manchester High School. The first meet of the season was with Chapman Tech. Our boys held their oppo- nents to a minimum of points by taking all first places. The final score was 77-13; and upon hearing this result, the Chapman Tech Coach remarked, “This must have been a good practice session for Manchester.” A week later Manchester went to West Hartford and overcame their team. This meet eliminated any possibility of West Hartford winning the league meet in June. The highly-touted Meriden track team were our hosts at the next competition. As Coach Wigren did not wish to display our real ability to the strongest rival in the coming league meet, our men took it easy and lost by a slight margin of five points. The State Meet in New Haven was one of our most successful contests thus far, although we placed fourth. We were cut short of the third place by a half point, but our school captured more first places than any other. “Tubby” Johnson, “Frankie” Scarlato, and Captain “Joe” McCluskey took first in the events of the discus, pole vault and mile run respectively. Each set a new school record in his particular event, an astounding accomplishment. Fifty-Light TENNIS Top Row: Gatti, ’29; Markley, ’29. Front Row: Captain Smith, ’29; Manager Yulyes, °29. TENNIS Captain, ROBERT SMITH Manager, HERMAN YULYES Coach, CLARENCE QUIMBY THE TEAM Aldo Gatti Robert Smith Edward Markley Herman Yulyes Although the schedule which they face is a very difficult one the “40 love boys” have won or tied every opponent thus far. The list of victims includes, St. Thomas, East Hartford, and. Bristol. This is a brilliant debut inasmuch as St. Thomas is con- sidered one of the highest type net teams in the state. Our school is represented in the doubles by Captain Smith and Yulyes in the first set and by Gatti and Markley in the second. The Tennis Team expects to repeat its victory of last year, to capture the Cen- tral Connecticut Interscholastic League Title. The only formidable outfit that will be strongly opposed to this action is West Hartford. Nevertheless, if Manager Yulyes’ father will let his son keep the bacon, Yulyes guarantees to bring it home. x , 7 : ; : Fifty-Nine TEAM CAPTAINS—1928-1929 Dowd, 30 Baseball; McCluskey, °29 Track; Treat, °29 Football; Buckland, ’29 Swimming ; Renn, °29 Basketball; Smith, “29 ‘Yennis. CAPTAINS BASEBALL ERNEST DOWD “Ernie” has played varsity baseball for the last three years in the center-field pos- ition. He was leading hitter last year, and he fields with remarkable accuracy. “Ernie” is now a Junior, and the school is fortunate in having such a capable athlete to return next fall. ’ TRACK JOSEPH McCLUSKEY “Cy” has been Coach Wigren’s standby in track for the last four years. He runs the mile and how! “Cy” held the school record for this event after his first few races and has continually cut it down until it is now 4 minutes 35 seconds. FOOTBALL ROBERT TREAT “BOB” has been on the football squad for the last four years. He has filled the berth of regular half-back or full-back since his Sophomore year. SWIMMING LESLIE BUCKLAND “Les” was not satisfied to manage the Swimming Team during its first three : ears of organization, but also annexed the captaincy in his Junior and Senior years. Until he was needed to fill vacancies in the dash lineup and distance swim, “Les” swam the backstroke regularly and rated with the best. BASKETBALL DANIEL RENN “Danny” played basketball for the Trade School Team in his Junior year. He tried out for Coach Clark’s outfit in his Senter year, however, and not only made the team but also was elected captain. Danny’s very fine eye and excellent floorwork have made him a valuable man in any department of basketball. TENNIS ROBERT SMITH “Smitty” has played varsity tennis for the last two years.

If we print jokes people say we are silly. If we don’t they say we are too serious. If we clip things from other papers we are too lazy to write them ourselves. If we don’t, we are stuck on our own stuff. If we don’t print contribution, we don’t appreciate true genius. If we do print them, the paper is filled with junk. If we make a change in the other fellow’s write-up, we are asleep. If we don’t, we are asleep. Now, like as not, some one will say we stole this from some magazine. WE DID!!

Yet, though you inherit the gift of liberty, you may still be subject to the oppression of financial worries and problems. Personal Financial Independence is within your reach. It does not depend on chance or luck or earnings. By a systematic plan for saving and investment you can look forward with reason- able certainty to accumulating a comfortable fortune. The first step toward financial independence is thrift in small amounts. By regular deposit in a bank account you can create a financial reserve that will open the way to greater opportunities for progress.
