OUR PAST FRESHMAN When we were new puzzled freshmen we were not the only confused ones for it was in this year that the M.H.S. day was inaugurated, bringing forth a longer teaching period and time for assemblies. New to our faculty was Miss Wilhelmina Werkhoven leading the girls in Physical Education. Football and basketball did not take high honors, but Cross Country captured the New England Cham- pionship and the Swimming team swam its way to win the C.C.I.L. title. The F. A. Verplanck Chapter of the National Honor Society held its first induction of members. “Nandy and the Doodlebug,” “The Wonder Hat,” and “Ann Gets A Break” were presented by Paint and Powder. The ever-popular Indian theme was introduced by members of the Student Council. A new club, Freshman-Sophomore Y-Teens, was organized under the direction of Miss Mary McAdams. And thus our record began to pile up for four such precious years. JUNIOR Our Junior class chose as its President James Far- rell, Football, Cross Country, Baseball, Swimming, Rifle, and Track all captured the C.C.I.L. crown in its own particular field, bringing to M.H.S. a glorious sports year. Jimmy Roach was awarded the Tom McCann football award on the basis of his outstanding play- ing ability. Roach also broke the all-time scoring record in M.H.S. “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court,” starring Ray Juros, presented by Sock and Buskin was a huge success. Al Taricco carried the lead in the festival winning play, “Jeptha’s Daughter.” Prom time, under the direction of Co-Chairmen, Bruce Anderson and James Farrell, brought bright gowns and gay decorations. In the spring Pat Shirer was elected the first girl President of Student Council. Elected to Nutmeg Boys’ State were: Robert Pot- terton, Jack Hentschel, Charles Cronin, John Allison, and Bruce Anderson. Margaret Rogers, and Mary Ann Martin were chosen to attend Laurel Girls’ State. As June 1952 closed we approached our Grand Finale. SOPHOMORE Our return to school in 1950 found us with two new additional members of the faculty; Mr. Harry Maidment, Personal Economics and World History instructor, and Miss Eleanor Webb, the new girls’ physical education teacher. Our only victory in the sports world was the C.C.I.L. crown won by the swimming team. The High School, Quill, and Somanhis Staffs played hosts to the Scholastic Press Association in the autumn. The first annual band concert was held. Paint and Powder presented their annual three one-act plays in the spring. “The Spinsters of Lushe,” “A Date With Barbara” and “The Creaking Stairs” were enjoyed by all. Albert Guay was the only member of our class to win honorable mention in the Scholastic Writing Award Contest. James Farrell, Albert Guay, Edwin Lynn, and James Moriarty were chosen to attend Nutmeg Boys’ State. June 1951 brought us to the half-way mark. SENIOR Our Senior class elected as its officers: President, James Farrell; Vice-President, Priscilla Torrance; Sec- retary, Mary Ann Martin; and Treasurer, James Moriarty. Applause rang loud and long when “Father of the Bride,” starring Al Taricco, was presented by Sock and Buskin at the Verplanck School. Beautiful music, beautiful gowns — ct the Prom, when Gail McCann was crowned Queen. The Double “Y , Sock and Buskin, and the Senior Reception formals will ne’er be forgotten. Double sessions were inaugurated in September due to the overcrowded conditions which will con- tinue to increase each year. Our class “did itself proud” when Jean Rogers and Carol Rottner were elected as co-editors of the World Staff. Working diligently the Somanhis Staff brought the yearbook to press under the leadership of Maureen Shea. The basketball court found Marshall Aitken break- ing the all-time individual scoring record for M.H.S. Senior Marching practice began in May, followed in June by the traditional Class Picnic, Class Day, Gift Night, and the Biggest event of all — GRAD- UATION. Armed Services, industries, colleges and homes will all eventually beckon the CLASS OF 1953. ry At i) Senior Class Officers: James Moriarty, Treasurer; Mary Ann Martin, Secretary; Priscilla Torrance, Vice-President; James Farrell, President.

The editorial staff compiled all the statistics, sched- uled the senior and club pictures, wrote club write- ups, and proofread the book. This group met in the World office each Thursday afternoon. The work was much hampered by the double sessions sched- ule, as there was no place in which to work. Miss lone Fellows was the leader of the editorial staff. Miss Hope Henderson directed the art staff which prepared the cover design, dividing pages, and ar- ranged the candid photographs. Selling and soliciting ads was the job of the Soman- his Advertising staff under the guidance of Mr. Ed- ward Ryder. Members of the staff attended the Annual Connec- ticut Scholastic Press Convention at Norwich. Tryouts were held in the spring for the future staff. Officers for the year were: Editor, Maureen Shea; Co-editors, Doris Gagliardone and Doris Condio; Secretary, Doris Gagliardone. “THE PUBLISHERS” Again the MHS Publication Staff took great responsibility by soliciting advertise- ments for the Somanhis. Without the work of the club it would not be possible to publish a yearbook at a reasonable price. Another task of the members of the MHS Publications was the securing of sub- scriptions both for Somanhis and Quill, and distributing the yearbook and school magazine. Under the direction of Mr. Edward Ryder the club proved very successful and de- served a good deal of credit from both seniors and underclassmen. M.H.S. PUBLICATIONS, front row (Left to right): P.

Because of the new double session schedule, the meetings were changed to Monday noon between sessions. During the year various guests came to the meetings to train the members of the staff in in- terviewing. Under the supervision of Miss Helen Estes regular newspaper procedures were. followed. Each member of the staff has a special beat for which he is responsible. Co-editors-in-chief were Carol Rottner and Jean Rogers. Assistant editor was Mary Lou Potter. Representatives attended the annual Connecticut Scholastic Press Convention held at Norwich, where writing techniques for news stories, features, and editorials were discussed. “THE SCRIBES” Manchester High School's bi-annual literary magazine, “The Quill,” was written by the students of MHS. Supervised by Miss Marion Casey, the Quill Staff edited and published prose and poetry submitted by the students. Reading criticisms, and the choice of manuscripts to be published were handled by the staff. The magazine ap- peared in February and in May. Quill also sponsored an annual writing contest in the spring. Prizes were awarded for upperclass and underclass prose and poetry. Officers for the year were: Editor, Anita Gagliardone; and Secretary, Betty Frazier. QUILL STAFF, front row (Left to right): Miss Casey, D. Condio, A. Gagliardone, B. Frazier, J. Flaherty, D. Mason.

Pratt PAINT SPOTS” Institute in Brooklyn was toured, as was Greenwich Village and Radio City. Various types of art work highlighted the meet- ings, and each member worked for individual im- provement in a chosen field. Students participated in the annual Scholastic Art Contest in February. Officers for the year were: President, Sandra Doutt; Vice-President, Nelson Sprague; Secretary, Verlie Morrison; and Treasurer, Elaine Duncan. The Paint Spots, the underclass art club, was di- rected by Miss Hope Henderson. The members fur- thered their interests in developing their abilities in art work. Studio drawings and paintings as well as some craft work was featured at the meetings. At Christ- mas, members painted Christmas motifs on the win- dows of the Manchester Memorial Hospital. The An- nual Scholastic Art Contest was entered by members of the club. Officers for the year were: President, Eleanor See- lert; Vice-president, Barbara Rice; Secretary, Cynthia Dunlap; and Treasurer, Peter Close. 69 FRESHMAN -SOPHOMORE ART CLUB, front row (Left to right): Miss Henderson, C.

In order to belong to the club a student had to maintain at all times an average of at least ninety per cent in art. Art projects requested by other high school departments were the main functions of the squad. Occasionally, outside work was done, such as posters, letterings, decora- ting or scenery painting. One of the largest projects was the planning and decorating for the M.H.S. Prom. Members of the Art Service Squad also participated in the Scholastic Art Contest. 59 60 DEBATING CLUB, front row (Left to right): Mr. Hartwell, H. Kronick, N. Werbner, Mr. Dougherty. Second Row: P.

Under the direction of Mr. David Hartwell and Mr. George Dougherty, the club gave the annual assembly debate. This year the subject was the national election.

When a candidate has qualified on the basis of scholarship the student must be voted into membership on the basis of the other characteristics. A formal induction of new members was held in the spring, while other meetings were held whenever necessary. Several members have been guests at other Connecticut high school inductions. Officers for the year were: President, Albert Guay; Vice-president, John Allison; Secretary, Nancy Macauley; Treasurer, Charles Cronin; senior advisor, James Moriarty; and junior advisor, Andrew Ansaldi. 61 “BROADWAY BOUND” Sock and Buskin, under the direction of Mrs. Helen Page Skinner, who celebrated her twentieth year as leader of the club, offered a wide program of drama to its members.

Working hard this year to perfect their cheers they helped the school teams advance towards victory. During the football and basketball seasons, the girls led rallies and several sport dances for the purpose of teaching new cheers and boosting the morale of the players. The Cheerleaders attended the banquet in honor of the football, soccer, and cross country teams. CHEERLEADERS, front row (Left to right): B. Dougan, C. Moriarty, J. Cavaleri, M. Harris, C.

The Spanish Club, under the leadership of Miss Beulah Todd, met on the average of once a month. Most of the meetings were devoted to film and slide showings of Mexico, Central and South America, Cuba, and Spain. The movies vividly portrayed Spanish life and culture in these countries, and helped to create a better understanding of all the Spanish-speaking people. The playing of records and singing of various songs also helped to contribute to class activities. Each class elected its own Secretary and President. 84 S RO SPANISH II AND III CLUB, front row (Left to right): V. Britton, H. Kronick, G. Todd, S. Mosler, R. Lewis, J. Rogers, N. LeClaire, J.

The meetings were opened by the roll call, answered in different ways, such as by giving names of French cities, French composers, or by giving one or two sentences in French. Many films, slides and filmstrips of special interest, were shown. The slides taken by the Girl Scouts who went to Europe in 1952, were much appreciated. As in the past, the club has sent clothes, crayons, and books to schools in France. Throughout the year the French Club has stimulated an interest and better un- derstanding of French by providing an opportunity to hear and speak the language. 86 p FRENCH II AND III CLUBS, front row (Left to right): G.

Meetings were held on the first and third Mondays of every month. Many activities sparked a busy year, highlighted by a “prom” in February which the club sponsored. Several sports movies and speakers were enjoyed throughout the year, as was a combined meeting with Senior-Y-Teens and a trip to Boston to view a professional basketball game between the New York Knickerbockers and the Boston Celtics. Officers were: President, Marshall Aitken; Vice-President, Richard Plagge; Secretary, Charles Cronin; Treasurer, Charles Mullaney. 88 VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM, front row (Left to right): P. Mitchell, D.

A C.C.I.L. record of three wins, one loss, and one tie put them second, behind Wind- ham. After trailing 13 to 0 at the half, Middletown came back to score just 13, and the two rivals battled to a tie. A 13 to 12 loss to Windham set a gloomy atmosphere about Mt. Nebo. Success came four times in a row to the Indians as they humbled Bristol 30 to 7 under the lights, rolled to a 13 to 7 victory over East Hartford at Mt. Nebo, pushed Hall High of West Hartford aside 38 to 18 when they came to visit, and journeyed to Meriden to win a 33 to 13 victory at the expense of the Meriden gridders. In their final game of the year, the Red and White fell before a sharp Weaver High aerial attack 24 to 6 in a thriller played before an over-capacity crowd. Manchester High’s “Mr. Sports,” Jim Roach, led the Indians on their scoring sprees, gathering 67 points on eleven touchdowns and one extra point. This climaxed four years of varsity football for the greatest gridder ever seen at M.H.S. Both stars in their own right, Jim Roach and Mar- shall Aitken led the ‘53 edition of the Red and White as Co-captains. Keeping up with the other J.V. teams, the football edition of the J.V. crews handed the varsity football a drubbing 20 to 12. Gene Johnson featured in the upset. The Junior gridders were set back, however, by the Rockville scrubs 13 to 0. Much good will result from the new double session system, as many more boys may participate in the inter-scholastic competition. Underclassmen, who or- dinarily do not participate, have the opportunity to play under coach Charles Beattie. JAYVEE FOOTBALL TEAM, front row (Left to right): C. McDonough, D. Golas, B. Smith, R.

A bid for the State Championship fell short when the Red and White tied Wethersfield 1 to 1, but failed to advance on a league technicality. In league play, the Indians handed Bristol two losses, 3 to 2 at home and 4 to 2 at Bristol, and Meriden suffered the same fate, falling 2 to 1 at Mt. Nebo and 3 to 1 at home. The split with Hall ac- counted for the C.C.I.L. tie. The Hall eleven triumphed 2 to 1 at West Hartford, but fell 2 to 1 before an inspired Red and White Squad at Mt. Nebo. The other two losses were dealt by Wethersfield, 2 to 1, and Portland, 1 to 0. Ellsworth and Man- chester battled to a 1 to 1 tie at South Windsor. The remaining wins came at the expense of Newing- ton, 1 to 0 and Pomfret Academy, 2 to 1. Charlie Cronin led the booters’ scoring attack with a total of six goals, Bob Biardi and Al Guay fol- lowed with five and four, respectively. Working with Coach Richard Danielson to make the season a success were Co-captains Jack Hents- chel and Charlie Cronin. Four wins, including an upsetting victory of the champion varsity, and no losses marked the first full J.V. season under the new program. Captain Jim Kuhlman and center-forward Dick Perleback were the stalwarts of the little Indians. Besides humbling their bigger brothers 3 to 2, they beat Portland 5 to 0, Bristol 2 to 1, and Suffield Academy 4 to 2 under the leadership of coach John Palmer.

Led by Captain Roger Turkington, the Harriers took wins home against all foes except Hartford Public and Bulkeley High of Hartford. A close 27-28 score gave the Red and White their first win over Norwich. Following came wins over Bristol 17 to 38, Middletown 28 to 35, and Weaver 18 to 37. East Hartford trailed the Red and White 20 to 38, and Windham gave the Indians the C.C.I.L. title 31 to 34. The locals placed third in the annual University of Connecticut Scholastic Meet and fourth in the State Meet at Wesleyan University at Middletown. Coach Wigren welded together a green team, with only two returns to a smooth operating squad. naZ ¥ lv : ‘et aS | a= f é ‘ | TRACK, front row (Left to right): A. Taricco, R. Richie, A.

They gathered together 56 points to lead the Central loop. Behind them was Hall High with 51, Middletown High with 39% points, Bristol High with 15, and Windham High who collected 121% points. In dual and triangular meets, the Indians fared well. They defeated Hartford High 54 to 47 and humbled Hall High 55% to 38%. Bristol pulled an upset and set the team back 60% to 24%. Windham fell to the Indians 83% to 201. Captaining the Indians in the track and field events, were co-captains Roger Ritchie and Adrian Schmidthauser. Track has always been a strong sport at Manchester High, and this year was no exception. JUNIOR-SENIOR BASKETBALL TEAM, front row (Left to right): Mr. Clark, J. Farrell, M. Aitken, J. Roach, R.

Aitken added 28 points to the old 244 mark. The team, however, didn’t fare so well. They won four out of seventeen contests. The Indians humbled Middletown twice — first by a score of 75 to 46 at the Forest City, and 58 to 55 at the Armory. East Hartford was beaten on the road 67 to 61, while West Hartford met defeat 49 to 34 at home. Meriden defeated the Red and White twice, by scores of 62 to 48, and 73 to 49. Windham ruled the Silkies 70 to 45 and 60 to 47. Weaver came out on top in two rough contests 65 to 44, and 53 to 44. Hartford Public High had little trouble in handling the Indians two losses to the tune of 49 to 42, and 64 to 44. The ever-powerful Bristol aggregate vanquished the Clarkmen twice, 71 to 43, and 76 to 61, Hall split with the locals, winning at home and losing on the Lautenbach, D. road. The Alumni piled another defeat as they took the season’s opener 78 to 59. Leading the cagers in their attempts, along with Coach Wilfred Clark, who wound up thirty-two years as mentor, were Co-captains Jim Roach and Marshall Aitken. This season Manchester High sported one of the best J. V. Basketball squads it has ever had. The junior hoopsters took victories over most of the schools that beat the varsity, indicating a strong possibility for better days, basketball wise, to come. Their record was ten wins as against six losses. Coached by Elgin Zaturski, the J. V.’s captured im- pressive wins against East Hartford, 50 to 27, and 64 to 52, also over Meriden 47 to 35, to name a few. Triumphs over Weaver and Bristol looked good, Hart- ford High ruled the Red and White 52 to 45. SWIMMING TEAM, front row (Left to right): R. Lord, D. Wichmann, J. Haloburdo, T. Smith, A. Martin, D.

After suffering two early defeats at the hands of Sacred Heart 48 to 19 and Crosby 40 to 27 the Indians were once again on their way. Victories over Meriden, 48 to 19, and Bristol, 52 to 15, set the Indians on top of the C.C.I.L. Buckley was defeated 38 to 20 in the local pool as was Hartford Public, 48 to 18. Windham and Middletown, C.C.I.L. competitors, were beaten. Windham fell in Willimantic while Middletown’s Manchester visit proved disasterous. Portland was easily defeated but Torrington gave the Red and White trouble, but was finally beaten. Sophomore flash Curt Wright smashed the 40-yard freestyle to 19.2 and the 100- yard freestyle to 57.12 in the Meriden meet. The relay team of co-captains Charles Mullaney and Joe Haloburdo and Tom Smith shoved their record time to 1:07.8. Their fastest mark was set in the meet with Hartford Public. Coach Richard Sollanek is still enjoying great swimming teams. Hindered by the limits placed upon them by the double session program, the Red and White Natators were still able to enjoy their fourth C.C.I.L championship in as many years.

Led by sharpshooting Bob Potterton, Bruce Anderson, Bob Pitcher, and Joe Bell, the Indians’ most impressive victory came against Loomis Prep School of Windsor. The High marksmen won 871 to 867 to break the long withstanding jinx. Windham fell twice, 861 to 801, and 850 to 750. Meriden met the same fate, losing 879 to 793. Portland fell to the Red and White 477 to 437. The victory over Middletown gave the Indians sole claim to the C.C.I.L. title. Coach Gilbert Hunt has prompted his charges to the second C.C.I.L. title in as many years. 96 GOLF TEAM, front row (Left to right): R. Thornton, R. Watts, D. - DeMartin, J. Munsie. Second Row: J.

Windham dealt the linksmen losses 92 to 8% and 15 to 3. Hall ruled the Indians 9% to 8% and Buckley came out on top 15 to 3. In other matches Meriden fell 18 to 0 as the Indians placed everyone, and Bristol was beaten 1 512 to 72. George Bradlau served his first term as mentor. “RACKET SQUAD” Failure to win their most important match of the season, cost the Manchester High tennis team the C.C.I.L. title. Coach Richard Sollanek’s charges dealt defeat to all comers until they lost to Hall 4 to 1 and 5 to 0. Captain Bill Slover and speedy Jim Collins were the mainstays of the Indian attack. They won their matches most consistently, and teamed up in the doubles. TENNIS TEAM, front row (Left to right): J. Collins, B. Slover, B. Keller, D. Stone. Second Row: Mr. Sollonek.

The Red and White took Windham 14 to 2 and 18 to 4, Rockville 2 to 1 and 10 to 6, Hall of West Hartford 9 to 8 and 7 to 6. East Hartford and the Indians split—the Indians winning at home but losing away 8 to 1. Meriden caused the home team a little trouble — the Indians won 5 to 4 at Mount Nebo but dropped one 6 to 4 at Meriden. Bristol lost one 6 to 5 at Mount Nebo, but tied the Red and White at Bristol 7 to 7 in 16 innings. Being a night game, it was called about 1 A.M. Captain Steve Bellinghiri and curve-baller Pete Maneggia were the “winningest” pitchers. Steve was credited with five wins and Pete with four. Jim Roach led the team in batting and slugging averages hitting most consistently and hardest. Captain-elect for next year is Pete Maneggia. 98 JUNIOR-SENIOR GIRLS’ LEADERS CLUB, front row (Left to right): H. Goss, M. Opalach, M. Thomas, R. Shinn, P. Campbell, B. Field, M. Latulippe.

Membership in the club is open to any girl, Freshman, Sophomore, Junior or Senior who has shown keen interest in sports through participation. Training in leader- ship is offered each member through opportunities to assist the physical education teachers in gym classes and to conduct after-school activities. Once a girl is a member, she must maintain at least a “B” average in gym and a “C” in academic subjects to remain in the club. For participating in the club activities during the year, a girl is given fifty points toward athletic credit. Due to the double sessions, freshman girls have been taken into the club on a trial basis. The girls are to help the other leaders in the locker room, and to learn to become good leaders. The club combined social activities as well, with their regular duties of managing gym classes, and aiding the gym teachers. A co-rec night with the Varsity “M” club was planned for the spring, ending another busy year for the Girls’ Leaders Club. FRESHMEN-SOPHOMORE LEADERS, front row (Left to right): N. Gratton, 1.

In the fall, field hockey, soccer, and tennis interested many of the athletes, who practiced many techniques once a week during the fall season. Beginners and advanced archery offered the girls the opportunity to show their ability. Due to the double sessions basketball was played at the YMCA because the underclassmen were using the gym. New methods of playing, dribbling, and passing, and team work were learned by the girls in after-school basketball. Bowling, a two-season sport, was held twice a week for the girls who had six period classes. Much enthusiasm was shown to improve their average each week. The spring season brought forth volleyball and baseball fans into weeks of practice. In volleyball the girls practiced serving, spiking, and scoring. In softball they practiced fielding, hitting, and pitching. With these activities another successful sports year was closed in our alma mater. 108 Pelee ing BULLET itv A pins as Re ‘important | ALL SEMORS:| ML SENIORS (UTE?, | RSTO.
