As we go in future they wer inspire u FOREWORD out into a world of unrest, it is our ardent desire that years we may look at our yearbook and see fine arts as e at the mid-century. We hope that this culture may s and continually add enrichment to our lives. DEDICATION gg . MISS HOPE HENDERSON We, the senior class of 1950, wish to dedicate this yearbook to Miss Hope Henderson, in greatest gratitude for our appreciation of fine arts which she has instilled in the students of Manchester High School. Her constant help has added immeasurably to the fulfillment of a rich and happy life during our school days. That this love of beauty may continue to bring us joy in the years to come is our deepest desire. ' 3 ...ar .- .

These reports appear once a week in a page entitled High School World in the Manchester Evening Herald . This year, as usual ,under the supervision of Miss Helen Estes, the club held its meetings every Friday morning. The editors-in-chief were Jane Rottner and Joan Astley. During the year various guests came to these meetings to be interviewed for interview-practice. Representatives of the club took part in the annual Connecticut Scholastic Press Convention, held this year at Greenwich. Social activities for the year included the initiation party in December and the picnic in June. X QUILL CLUB Quill Magazine is anticipated and enjoyed by all Manchester High School students. The magazine consists of original literary work composed by students. The Quill Staff, under the supervision of Miss Marion M. Casey, has met weekly this past year to read and discuss different manuscripts and to work on the editing of the magazine. All literary work to be published in the magazine is decided on at these meetings. Prizes were offered in four separate groups this year for the best upper class and under class prose and poetry submitted in the contest sponsored annually by Quill. Quill has done much to promote and encourage creative writing by the students and should be commended for the fine magazine produced. First row Cleft to rightbz H. Rose, L. Cole, S. Emery, C.

Henderson, is an organization which develops one's individual abilities in all phases of art work, toward art careers or toward better use of leisure time. The club meets from one to two hours in the studio every other Wednesday after school. The 1949-1950 officers are Claire Fallot, Betty johnson, Alan Gould, and Joan Neubauer with Virginia Martin as chairman of the Program Committee. The club's activities this year have been divided into three groups, namely, studio drawing and painting sessions, field trips, and guest speakers. The trips have included visits to nearby art schools, and to New York City. The speakers have included instruct- ors from some of the Hartford art schools and Professor Charles Robertson of Pratt Institute in New York. Other activities included an initiation picnic at Center Springs in September, caroling at the Manchester Convalescent Home and Hospital Annex before Christmas, participation in the Scholastic Art Contest, in which two gold keys and three places were awarded, and the Young Manchester Designs contest in March as well as in an Inter-High School Art Exhibition at the Hartford Public High School. The club fol- lowed up last year's Art Colony Day with a second one this spring and finished the season with the annual picnic with the Library Club at Crystal Lake. 48 '4 , J J' Mm wig 57 2 l' ART SERVICE SQUAD This year's Art Service Squad or the above 90 club , as it is sometimes called, consisted of eighteen members. This club was organized five years ago and is under the direction of Miss Hope S. Henderson. The main purpose of this club is to carry out assignments requested by other de- partments in the high school and occasionally outside work, such as posters, lettering of all kinds, scenery illustrations, and painting for sports events. Most of the work is done in the studio. One of the largest projects of the club was planning and working on decorations for the High School Prom which was held in November. During the Christmas season the squad, with the Art Club and Somanhis Art Staff, visited the Manchester Convales- cent Home and the Hospital Annex where they delivered fruit baskets and sang carols. In April the Art Service Squad went to New York where they visited many points of interest. The club participated in the Scholastic Art Contest in which two gold keys and three places were awarded. They also took part in the Young Manchester Designs Contest. This year's squad is outstanding in creative ability, dependability, cooperation, and efliciency. First row 1Clock-wiseJ: J. Meyers, J.

SOCK AND BUSKIN Sock and Buskin embarked upon its thirtieth anniversary year with many varied plans again under the supervision of Mrs. Helen Page Skinner. The usual activities of the club were the presentation of six one-act plays under the direction of the National Thespian Society members. Mrs. Hitchcock, Mr. Novak, and a member of the Randall School presented talks on Dramatics Schools and Colleges, Voice and Speech Defects, and the Theater World in Hartford. A large group of members from the club traveled to New York to witness the pre- sentation of Miss Liberty . While there, they visited Staten Island, Radio City, and they lunched at the Town and Country Club. Everyone who attended agreed it was a memorable occasion. The comedy, Dear Ruth , was very successfully presented to the public in Novem- ber as their annual three-act play. The club participated in the Connecticut Drama Festival held in Willimantic in March. During its thirty years of existence Sock and Buskin has entered the Connecticut Drama Festival eight times. It has won top honors in the state five times and once in the New England Drama Festival. In February, representatives from the class of 1920 until the present time attended the banquet to celebrate their anniversary and enjoyed it immensely. The formal dance successfully concluded another year for Sock and Buskin. President .............,......,... Edward Thorsell Secretary ,.......,...,.........

During the activity period four one-act plays were presented to audiences of invited guests. In january, 35 members saw Brigadoon . In March the club held an informal dance. As in former years the high- light of the club's activities was the public performance of three one-act plays: The Wonder Hat , Vandy and the Doodle Bug , Anne Gets a Break . With the annual picnic and the election of officers the club ended a very enjoyable season. 51 First row Cleft to rightl : Mr. Hartwell, C. Rottner, B. Silverstein, P. Silverstein, A. Grossman, E.

DEBATING SOCIETY To train students to think and speak on their feet, to do researchg and to prepare speeches, is the purpose of the Debating Society. Composed of twenty-five members, the club has made much progress this year. This is due to the combined efforts of Mr. Dougherty and Mr. Hartwell, the faculty advisers, as well as the club members. Some of the many activities of the club this year were: the annual debate in the assembly hall on the reading habits of today's youth, a debate with South Hadley High in Massachusetts, and a debate with Stratford High in Connecticut. The club also participated in the Wesleyan Tournament in April. The club met every Tuesday morning in the library in order to practice debating and to learn new techniques in debating. This year the club also had some movies on delivering speeches and judging authorities, 52 ,QW . wk' YWYQ 94 . 'Mfkvw , tix 'Y ff '5 '1f'1sfma,.t,, f-Fir s YW! as ff l T rw 4 . f . -- A .

' 1' A if i e - . ,lj L ' M To understand the news of the day and to discuss current problems from all points of view, the Current Affairs Club was organized in 1938 and later reorganized in 1945. Under the supervision of Mr. Lewis H. Piper, the club had numerous activities in which they participated. Several film strips on current affairs such as: The Social and Economic Council of the United Nations and the Indonesian Problem were shown. The club was represented on two Parade of Youth Programs over station W.D.R.C. On February 21, the club journeyed to Lake Success to attend the United Nations meet- ing. Monthly meetings of the Foreign Policy Association as well as four meetings of the junior Foreign Policy Association were attended by the club. In 1946 and 1948 the club made all the students of Manchester High School registered voters. Mr. Piper's group was also a member of the Student Foreign Policy Association of the Greater Hartford Area, to which about twenty other schools are members. During the year several meetings were held which included Panel Discussions led by a Faculty member and followed by a social hour. This year, one of these meetings was held on March 1 at Holliday Inn in the Hartford Y.W.C.A. Mr. Piper was moderator of the Panel Discussion and the club was represented by Carol Nelson. About twelve of the members of the club attended. Materials used by the club are: the New York Times Sunday Edition, News- week and Time . This year the officers were: President, Herbert Urweider, Vice-President, Catherine Corbett, Secretary, jean Aspinwall, Treasurer, Edwin Quinn. Different committees were headed by Mary Geigner, Catherine Corbett, Edward Thorsell, and Edwin Quinn. son, M. J. Geigner, Mr. Piper. fi 4 it CURRENT AFFAIRS CLUB First row Cleft to rightjz M.

LIBRARY CLUB The Library Club, under the direction of Mrs. john Gerard, has had a very busy year. The members, who are called Library Pages, help to run the school library, and in this way become acquainted with its many services. In addition, the Pages have taken several trips, the outstanding one was the annual field trip to Yale Sterling Memorial Library which included a visit to the Peabody Museum. The Pages also attended a tea at the New Haven State Teachers College which was given for all Pages in the State. The Library celebrated National Book Week by a traditional Tag Day. This year, for the first time, a plaque was presented to the winning room, which was in this case, 25M. Each year this plaque will be passed on to the winning room to be retained until the next Tag Day. L il M, A-.L Nasal STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council, under the supervision of Miss Catherine E. Putnam, was composed of elected representatives from each homeroom. Its purpose is to promote better citizenship throughout the school and to further, in all ways possible, the best interests of the student body. With President Peter Gunas presiding, the Council met twice a month. Special committees planned drives, social aflairs, and school projects. During the year the Student Council planned and sponsored about twenty in- formal sport dances and the school prom. It held such drives as the Student Activity Association Membership Drive, the junior Red Cross Drive, the Christmas Seal Drive, Tag Day Drive, and the March of Dimes. Manchester High School was host to dele- gates from fourteen schools at the fall convention of the Eastern Connecticut Federation of Student Councils. The Council also helped edit and distribute the High School Hand- book, assisted the student body in choosing a school mascot, and approved all letters and merit awards given out this year. Every member of Manchester High School can be proud of the active Student Council and its many accomplishments. First row fleft to rightj: E. Grady, D. Duffy, J. McKinney, D. Condio, S. Accomazzo, P.

This organization has been responsible for much of the school spirit at sports rallies and football and basketball games. The band, dressed in their trim-looking blue and red uniforms, played in the Memorial Day Parade, at concerts, and at dedications. In October several members of the band took part in hte All-State Festival in Hartford, while in May the whole band traveled to West Hartford for the C.C.I.L, Band Festival. Much credit should also be given to the twelve twirlers, under the leadership of Verna Hare. These girls bought the material and made their own uniforms. They drilled before and after school many times throughout the weeks. Their hours of practice were shown when they performed expertly at football and basketball games. Next year the band will continue to grow, with a sixty-two piece band, and in following years the number is expected to reach ninety members. 56 y First row Cleft to rightjz N. llling, S. LeFort, E.

JUNIOR Y-TEENS In 1930 the Junior Y-Teens was established at Manchester High School. Its purpose is to develop good fellowship and world understanding. This year, under the supervision of Miss Martha White and Miss Julia Lynch, the club had completed an- other successful year. Among the special features this year were several field trips to Simsbury and to the State Capitol. The club also had a square dance and enjoyed various speakers. Some of these speakers included a hair stylist, a vocational speaker, and several Girl Scouts who spoke about their European tour last summer. Other highlights for the year included a week-end at Camp Aya-Po, and the annual Double Y Dance. 65 FRENCH CLUB The French Clubs have met once a month this year under the supervision of Miss Jeanne Low. The members participated in skits, spelling matches, vocabulary games, and speeches. Miss Low showed some movies taken on her trip to France in the summer of 1949. Barbara Kloppenburg also showed some color slides of her trip to Europe with the Girl Scouts in 1949. The roll call was answered in different ways at each meeting-by giving names of expected gifts, New Year's resolutions, or how one spent his vacation. The members sent packages of clothing and toys to schools in northern and southern France. The members of the club have furthered their interest in France, its people, customs, and language, and have achieved a greater ability to speak French. 66 SPANISH CLUBS Spanish Clubs are composed of Spanish classes under the direction of Miss Beulah E. Todd. The meetings for each group are held once a month in the Drama Room, Assembly Hall, or in Room 21F. The programs stress the use of Audio-Visual Aids which usually consist of Spanish records, movies, or colored slides. There is also student participa- tion in original Spanish themes, skits, and conversations dealing with every-day Spanish. During the first semester the following movies were shown: Spanish News Reeli' with Spanish dialogue, Sundays in the Valley of Mexico , Air Tour of Latin America , and Patzcuaro . Colored slides of Central America, Mexico, and South America were planned for the second semester. Arrangements were made for Spanish correspondents. Student translations of proclamations or other timely topics, discussions of Spanish holiday customs, Spanish songs and vocabulary games correlate with the regular class activities. The purpose of the clubs is to give the students more practice in hearing and speaking Spanish, to broaden their interests, and to foster a spirit of tolerance and understanding in the students who study the life and civilization of our Mexican and South American neighbors. 67 First row Cleft to rightjz W.

Werkhoven. Meetings were held one afternoon and two mornings a week, all during the fall and winter. Two rallies were given during assembly periods to familiarize the students with the new cheers. Both rallies proved very successful and gave the squad the desired school support at the football and basketball games where they cheered. Not only were the cheers revised this past year but also the uniforms of the cheer- leaders. Now they sport full circular skirts, trimlooking short-sleeved sweaters, and new megaphones. One more male member was added to the squad. Another new idea of the cheerleaders was the pep squad, directed by Jeanne Garrity. The cheerleaders have helped to keep up the school morale. They have not only put a great deal of hard work into making the squad a success, but they also have been rewarded for this work by the school spirit and the support of the student body shown this year at the games and rallies.

FOOTBALL Captain: Leon Botteron Coach: Mr. Walker Briggs Manager: Richard Hunt Assistant Coach: Mr. Anthony Alibrio Although the Manchester High football team had the return of six lettermen, the 1949-1950 squad could not muster enough strength from the reserves to cap- ture one win all season. The team, however, was not as bad as its record indicates. The team succeeded in capturing one tie and several of its members displayed the ability of professional players. The Red and White dropped its hrst four games in succession to Leavenworth, 14-Og West Hartford, 14-0, Meriden, 16-0, and Middletown, 59-O. In the Middle- town game the Big Red lost the services of Frank Vozzolo for the remainder of the season, as the result of a severely fractured leg. The Indians hit the peak of their season when they fought East Hartford to a 7-7 tie at the latter's field. It was in this game that big Paul Arcari was shifted to a fullback spot in an effort to strengthen the otherwise weak back- Held. Captain Leon Botteron proved himself to be one of the outstanding wingmen in the state by his consistent, and at times, brilliant play. Botteron bore the brunt of the local attack as he served at backfield and end positions almost simultaneously. Manchestefs backfield was probably the gteenest of any local football squad. Quarterback Donald Flavell and halves Carlo Petricca and jim Roach were com- pletely inexperienced, but their aggressive play and brilliant play-making was the shining light in the backfield. The pass combination of Petricca to Botteron was considered the class of the C.C.I.L., if not the state. Paul Arcari, Ray Finnegan, jim Minnicucci, and Douglas Wisse were standout performers on the line for the Indians. Lettermen lost to graduation include: P. Arcari, L. Barrett, R. Finnegan, C. Marcel, R. Negro, S. Sombric, H. Urweider, F. Vozzolo, R. Harris and Captain Lee Botteron who leaves the controls to Carlo Petricca and Douglas Wisse. First row Qleft to rightbz H. Frechette, W.

I SOCCER Captains: john Iamonaco, Peter Gunas Coach: Mr. Richard Danielson Manager: Walter Szemplinski Getting off to a good start the Manchester High School soccer squad, minus the services of several key players lost to graduation, slumped in mid-season, but managed to come up with a 4-6-1 record 'for the season. Despite a comparatively green forward wall, Manchester managed to capture their initial start from Meriden, 1-0. However, the locals hit a snag and lost twice to Ells- worth, 4-1, 3-1, once to Wethersfield, 2-1, Bristol, 2-0, tied West Hartford, 1-1, before finally defeating Meriden again in mid-season. Following two severe 4-O defeats at the hands of West Hartford, and Wethersfield, the Indians caught fire and gave Bristol a thorough 2-0 thumping as they edged the alumni, 3-2, in the final contest of a fairly successful season. Manchester scored 12 points to the opponents 23 due largely to the magnificent offensive play of Co-captain johnny lamonaco. Pete Gunas, Red Goaly, pulled Man- chester out of several desperate situations with his miraculous saves and long tosses. Al Morgan, Bob Foss, john Mahoney, Walt Kosakowski and Benton Osgood bore the brunt of the Red defense, with Morgan, Mirucki and Sheekey using their speed and dribbling ability to advantage on the Indians foreward wall. Although Manchester placed third in the C.C.I.L., the locals have high hopes of capturing the crown in 1950. Only four lettermen will be lost to graduation. These include: Bob Foss, Benton Osgood, and Co-captains johnny Iamonaco and Pete Gunas. First row Cleft to rightjz Mr. C. Wigren, F. Ames, j. Glenney, A. Cahill, L. Soma, J. Shea, H. Higley, M.

Griffin, T. Moriarty, R. Tierney, R. Davis. CROSS COUNTRY Captain: Joseph Shea Coach: Mr. Charles Wigren Manager: Eugene Griffin Manchester High Schools cross country squad, perhaps the finest the school has ever produced, came home the winner and captured the State and New England Cross Country Championships. Running a one-two punch in Dick Howes and Larry Soma, the Red harriers copped nearly every one of its meets by a large margin. Bulkeley of Hartford gave the locals their toughest struggle in a regular season meet, as the Red won, 22-23. Every other meet was close to a shutout. The Red thumped New Britain, 17-385 and East Hartford, 17-38. The Indians scored 108 points to the oppositions' 222 as they held forth an admirable 6-0 won-loss record. Manchester's record in the State and New England meets is also an admirable one. In the State meet in which 18 teams competed, the Red scored 60 points to Hartford Bulkeley's 102 to capture the crown. Again the scoring punch of Howes, Soma and Captain joe Shea prevailed to bring Manchester the victory. At the New England meet it was just an old story repeated as Howes, Soma and Shea gave the Red enough to win with a score of 89 toHope qR.I.7 Highls 114, their closest rival. Fourteen teams from all over New England competed in the meet held at Wesleyan University. During the course of the season, Dick Howes, junior flash, broke the Manchester Course record by traveling the distance in l3Z23.9. Bob Bray, former record-holder, ran the course in 13:45. in 1946. Lettermen lost to graduation include: Alan Cahill, Eugene Griffin, Allen Hooey, Larry Soma and Captain joe Shea. 78 TRACK Captain: Clement Pontillo Coach: Mr. Charles Wigren Manager: Frank Campanelli In 1949 Manchester High' brilliant track team enjoyed an extremely successful season as they compiled a 7-2-1 won-loss record. They compiled an amazing total of 558 1X6 points as compared to the oppositions total of 379 576 points. Paced by sprinter and captain Clem Pontillo, the Red trackmen dropped meets only to Hartford High, one outdoor and one indoor meet, as they tied with West Hart- ford, 52-52. During the course of the season Ronald Buckmister broke the school record for the javelin with a toss of 172 feet 1 inch. Buckminster, the most versatile man on the squad, also pole vaulted, broad-jumped and at times ran in 440-yard run. Man- chester also placed fourth in the State Indoor meet, fifth in the Hartford Invitation, second in the 440-yard relay and third in the 2-mile relay at the Connecticut Relays, and eighth at the State Outdoor meet. Lettermen lost to graduation include: K. Bailey, D. Behrend, R. Buckmister, J. Coleman, D. Culver, R. Flaherty, A. Grant, D. Henry, P. Peters, R.

BASKETBALL Coach: Mr. Wilfred Clarke Manager: Clarence Aspinwall Manchester High School's 1949-1950 basketball squad had a fairly successful sea- son with a 6-11 won-loss record, but failed to qualify for the C.I.A.C. Class L tournament. The Indians opened their season by scoring a well-played 59-19 victory over the Alumni. However, the scholastic competition proved to be a little rougher and the Red were able to capture only five more victories. The best played game of the season by the local five was against a highly-touted Weaver five when the locals captured the contest by a score of 48-46. Several contests were close and could have been Red victories. Lettermen lost to graduation include: Herb Brown, Ed Moske, George Demko, George Zwick, Leo Day, Joe Shea, John Iarnonaco, and Lee Botteron. 80 First row fleft to rightjz Mr. Sollanek, T.

Coached by Mr. Richard Sollanek the Red and White tankers began the season with a smashing triumph over Hartford Bulkeley, 51-24. The Indians followed their initial victory by continuing their streak to several victories. Their greatest victory of the season came when the Red defeated Hartford Public High, 43-32, in a traditional rivalry dating back several years. During the course of the season several records were broken. Bob Whitey Fidler broke the 200-yard freestyle record with a time of 2:15.5. The 120-yard medley relay was broken by Panciera, Mochau, and Foss in l:08.4, as was the 160-yard freestyle relay by Donnelly, Harris, Booth, and Anderson in l:21.6.

RIFLE TEAM Captain: Edward Quinn Coach: Mr. Gilbert Hunt Manchester High School's rifle team, although only half-way through its 22-match season, has been very successful, winning seven out of nine matches to date. The extremely long season, November through March, gives the team plenty of activity and a large match schedule. The Indians, captained by Edwin Quinn, have twice beaten Meriden, Windham, Torrington, East Hartford, and the Alumni, while dropping both of its matches to Hamden High. Hamden is C.C.I.L., State and National champions. The Red and White, who fire four afternoons a week at the State Armory range, expect to compete in the State and National tourneys at New Haven. They also fire for qualification ratings from the N.R.A., and recently received Army ratings from the Director of Civilian Marksmanship of the Department of the Army.

BASEBALL Captain: William Frey Coach: Mr. Thomas Kelly Manager: Lawrence Gaskell With the return of several lettermen and the addition of several new outstanding players, the 1949 baseball squad recorded a fairly successful season by winning half of their regularly scheduled games. The Red and White started the season on the wrong foot by being beaten by West Hartford 15-9, and Rockville, 7-4. However, the Big Red found the winning road and captured the next two in sequence. Manchester beat Bristol, 5-0, 9-8, Meriden, 8-4: Middletown, 4-lg East Hartford, 6-2: West Hartford, 14-5: and Rockville, 10-9.

TENNIS Captain: Marshall Warren Coach: Richard Sollanek With the return of only one letterman, the 1949 Tennis Team succeeded in cap- turing only one victory in scholastic competition. Led by Captain Marshall Warren, the Red and White succeeded in giving several of the opposing teams some tough competition. Manchester's only victory came next, the climax of the season, when the Red captured a match against Hamden, 3-2. Coach Richard Sollanek must depend upon reserves in order to make headway in the 1950 season, as he had only one letterman returning. Those lost to graduation include: Paul Hillery, Dave Donovan, Reynolds Deacon and Captain Marshall Warren. Ed Thorsell was the only letterman returning to the 1950 squad. 85 First row Cleft to rightlz H. McLaughlin, R. Ullmar, J. Joubert, B. Wallbeolf B. Topliff, B. Carambelas, F. Fisher, H. Davis, N.
