Where our classes now meet, the Braves hunted for game, the Podunk women cooked succatash and lniun bread for their families. Where our streets now lie, Indians laid their trails. As we proudly pause to record our deeds, including the activities of our athletic teams, who are known as the Indians at Manchester High School, we wish to pay tribute to those who were here long before us, the Podunk Indians. From the good earth to the blue sky above CLOUDS P'-'Spd-0-S17 MAC - Blasting 050164 Tl0N To the tribe who welcomed the white man to Man- chester, the Podunk Indians, this yearbook is dedicated. They were a peace-loving people as we are, fought their battles courageously as we must. Like all human beings, they had their faults and virtues, their dreams and hopes. They dedicated their lives to the creation of the first known civilization in our town. Today, we follow the trails they blazed, and the paths they trod. Every square inch a place for us all.

New, also, at M.H.S. was Mr. Harry Maidment, instructor of Personal Economics. Football and basketball didn't take any honors, but soccer broke with an even season and the swimming teams captured the C.C.I.L. crown. I Remember Mama, presented by Sock and Buskin, was a huge success as was l S X NX I Q T -.XXXX xg xg .

The High School World, Quill, and Somanhis staffs were hosts for the Scholastic Press Conference held here in the fall. . H The Spinsters of Lushe, A Date With Barbara, and The Creaking Stairs were the three one-act plays presented by Paint and Powder. Thus our Indians were off to a good start. SOPHOMORE 1951 proved to be a superb year as far as sports were concerned. Football, cross country, swimming, rifie, track, and baseball all brought home C.C.I.L. crowns to their Alma Mater, good old M.H.S. Sock and Buskin's annual play, A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court, was enjoyed by all and was described as one of the club's best productions. Mrs. Kokai Saffari was a guest at M.H.S. for several weeks. She spoke before many of the clubs, and her anecdotes on life in lran, her native land, will ne'er be forgotten. For the first time, Paint and Powder attempted a three-act play and was highly successful in the presentation of Cheaper By The Dozen. Our two years as underclassmen were over and the Class of '54 was moving into the lead. JUNIOR As Juniors we learned the trials and tribulations of the double-session program which was inaugurated due to the overcrowded conditions. C.C.I.L. championships included soccer, cross country, rifie and golf, while the foot- ball and basketball teams had fair seasons. Long to be remembered was Father of the Bride, which was put on by Sock and Buskin, starring Lois Cooper. The band presented its first Bop Music Concert. Prom time came around with Bob Provost and Gary Bogli serving as co-chairmen for the big event. Donna LaVista won the Oratoricol Contest, while Roger Peterson took away top honors at the annual Science Fair. Campaign time arrived-complete with posters and tags. Bob Provost was elected to the presidency of the Student Council. As our Junior Class President we chose Gary Bogli. Sandra Taggart and Nancy Cole attended Laurel Girls' State. Elected to Nutmeg Boys' State were Bob Johnson, Dick Farr, Jim Tatro and Jack Whitham, who served as Lieutenant Governor. June 1952 brought us much closer to our goal. Our three years experience with M.H.S. traditions made us ready to lead our Indians onward to victory. SENIOR Our Senior class selected as its officers: President, Gary Bogli, Vice-President, Connie Moriarty, Secretary, Mel Cote, and Treasurer, Bill Ritchie. Applause echoed through M.H.S. as the curtain fell on Sock and Buskin's The Night of January 'l6 . Craig Noren and Jack Loeffier had the leading roles. Football, Soccer and Cross Country carried away C.C.I.L. crowns. For the first time in the history of the C.C.I.L. these three honors were won by one school, our own M.H.S. Midnight in Paris - that was the theme of the Prom. Amid beautiful gowns and gay decorations, Helen Goss was crowned queen. Barbara Dougan was crowned Miss Varsity M of 1953 under streamers of red and white. The Sock and Buskin, and Senior Reception formals held many happy memories for all attending. A course in driving was offered for the first time. Students learned how to operate a car as well as the rules of the road. Many students received their licenses as a result of this course. Nancy Cole received the Good Citizenship Award by the D.A.R. Senior marching practice began in May. The traditional Class Picnic, Class Day and Gift Night followed in June. Our goal was attained when we received our diplomas at our biggest event - GRADUATION. So ended life at M.H.S. for the CLASS OF 1954.

SOMANHIS STAFF Tribe-Scribes Organizing the permanent record of clubs, sports, and class activities at Manchester High School was the work of the yearbook staft, which was divided into three groups. The editorial staff, under the direction of Miss lone Fel- lows, compiled the statistics and quotations, did club write-ups, scheduled senior and club pictures, secured candids, and proofread the yearbook. The stat? held weekly meetings in the Recreation Building. Many committees were formed such as for the running commentary, the dummy, proofreading, and entertainment committees. The work of the Art Staff, which was directed by Miss Hope Henderson, consisted of preparing the cover design, the dividing pages, and many appropriate illustrations in keeping with the yearbook theme, and arranging the candids. Somanhis Advertising staff, under the supervision of Mr. Edward Ryder, secured advertisements and subscrip- tions that contributed immeasurobly to the success of the publication. Representatives of the staff attended the Connecticut Scholastic Press Convention held at Hartford in October, where they learned many new ideas for the book which were discussed and put into practice at their later meetings. 1954 officers were: Editor-in-chief, Priscilla Hill, Secre- tary, Joan Mankus. 54 SOMANHIS ADVERTISING The Somanhis Advertising Stott, under the direction of Mr. Edward Ryder, was composed of student salesmen who solicited and obtained advertisements for the back of the yearbook. Every advertisement that the saIesmen X f acquired helped reduce the price of the yearbook. Q I Due to the success of our student salesmen this year, ' Q 4 the Somanhis was available to students tor the same price W Q as last year.

PUBLICATIONS Without the help and the work of the Manchester Hiqh School Publications Staff the publication of Somanhis and Quill would have been an impossibility. The staff is under the direction of Mr. Edward Ryder. This staff solicited the various dealers throughout Manchester for advertisements. It also secured orders for the yearbook and Quill, the bi-annual school magazine, and distributed them when they were finished. 56 My Owl? .Z I x ' f f ti i , .

HUE HARMONEERS The Hue Harmoneers, the iunior-senior Art Club, directed by Miss Hope S. Henderson, was continued for a second year, as a separate group from the underclassman club. For their first meeting an initiation picnic was held at the home of Carol Foraker, a member of the club, for the combined clubs. A won- derful time was had by both clubs as it gave all of them a chance to get acquainted with the new members. In the spring a group of members went to New York to make the club's annual art tour of Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, and various other points of interest. Other meetings in- At' PAINT 'S POTS The 'freshman-sophomore Art Club, which was under the di- rection of Miss Hope S. Henderson, continued this year despite the double sessions. Paintings and craft work, as well as studio drawings, were done at various meetings.

ART SERVICE SQUAD The Art Service Squad this year, under the direction of Miss Hope S. Henderson, was composed of twenty-one members, the largest in its history. To obtain member- ship a student had to maintain an average of A in Art. The main function of the Squad was doing art projects requested by other high school departments. Occasional outside work such as posters, lerterings, decorative or scenic paintings were done. This work was often done on a remunerative basis. Planning the theme and decorating for the Manchester High School Prom was one of the largest proiects done by the club. Members of the Art Service Squad also participated in the Scholastic Art Contest. 59 V Peace Painters Team Work First row: Cleft to rightl A Thorp, P. Wupperfield, M. Glean, M. B. Stewart, J.

On March 'l0th an assembly debate was presented to the afternoon session on the subiect, That the U. S. should greatly increase its hemisphere's defenses. The Debating, Club was engaged in scholastic dual debates with Stratford, North Grosvenordale, South Hadley, Hillhouse and Hartford.

The library pages received training by per- forming such iobs as checking books in and out at the record desk, send- ing overdue notices, and sorting and shelving various books. To qualify for the position of a library page , each member must have volunteered two free periods a week and have had the desire to learn and work with other individuals and help them to become better acquainted with their library. . Tag Day highlighted the work of the club by obtaining money for new books. This year the Student Council worked with the library to achieve its goal. Miss Fellows' room 25M in the morning session and Miss Burke's room 25M in the afternoon session tied again for first place. ln the spring, the library pages went on their annual trip to New Haven. There they were taken on a conducted tour through the Yale Sterling Memorial Library and the Peabody Museum. After their conducted tour they dined at Yale's Woolsey Hall, and then left for New Haven State Teachers' College for 'their annual Nutmeg 02O's business meeting with other library pages from various schools all over the state. 63 ffyzdwwfbf I 'Leaf Turners SENIOR Y-TEENS This year again, the members of Senior Y-Teens helped the citizens of the world, under the direction of Miss Isabelle Regan.

SOCK AND BUSKIN Sock and Buskin, the junior-senior dramatic club, under the direction of Mrs. Helen P.

On this trip the group saw the musical comedy, Wonderful Town, starring Rosalind Russell. After the performance the club visited back stage and many students were privileged to see Miss Russell's dressing room and receive her photograph. A high spot of the trip was eating at Toots Shor , where they met and ob- tained photographs from George Jessel. The annual public performance, The Night of January 16th, had a unique and interesting feature-the iury, needed in the play, was chosen from the audi- ence. The play was an outstanding success, and the acting, especially that of Jack Loeffler, Craig Noren, and Lois Cooper, will long be remembered. At bi-monthly meetings the club enioyed such programs as: tape recordings of Man Without A Country, and Skipper lreson's Ride , original monologues and dialogues by members of the club, the one-act play, The Physician ln Spite of Himself, and a lecture on modern and current drama by Mr. Bowdoin of Parsons Theater.

'- 74 BGYS' AND GIRLS' CHOIRS The boys' and girls' choirs, under the direction of Mr. G. Pearson, consists of freshmen and sophomores in the afternoon session. The two choirs meet in the assembly hall during school hours to practice. The members of these two choirs participated this year in the Christmas concert, Spring concert, and in the Outdoor Festival, which was held in the latter part of the spring season. In all three of these concerts the boys' and girls' choirs joined with the A Cappella choirs, and in the Outdoor Festival they also ioined with the Junior High School Choirs. Although the double sessions have prevented the choirs from practicing and rehearsing together, Mr. Pearson has overcome this difficulty and proved it to us through the public performances he so successfully staged during the year of 1953-'54.

Vi 82 FRENCH CLUB At the monthly meetings of the Cercles Francais, whlch were held under the direction of Miss Jeanne Lowand Mlss Beulah Todd, many films, slides, and filmstrips were shown. These films were about Parls and different sections of France, such as the famous Chateaux region. 'Part of the meeting time was devoted to skits, reports, and activities requlrlng the use of the French language. The meetings were conducted in French as much as pos- sible. Roll call was answered in various ways, such as naming famous French people, important cities In France, or by telling the way ln which one had spent his vacation. The maln purpose of the French Club was to Increase the students' knowledge and appreclatlon of France and French life and culture. The French Club had a very exciting and busy year during 1953-'5-1. 83 SPANISH I CLUB Spanish Club which is directed by Miss Todd, held their meetings on the average of once a month, during closs time. The purpose of the club is to acquaint the students with the life and customs of the Spanish people. During the first semester the following films were shown: Why Study Foreign Languages , Spanish Influence in the U. S. , La Familia Saucheg , and Tierra Meiicana . They also used records for the correct pronunciation of Spanish dialogues. First row: lleft to rlghtl J. Bursock, H. Christiana, L. Zwick, S. Brown, J. Broverman, B. Smith, P. Wharton, K. Ryan, M.

Other meetings included the showing of colored slides of Mexico, South America, and Central America, with correlating reports given by the students. F 85 r 1 1 l l 1 Council of Chieftains 5 STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council consisted of a group of students selected as rep- resentatives from their homerooms to promote better citizenship throughout the school, to further the interests of the students, and to unify and support all extra-curricular activities. This was achieved under the direction of Mr. George Emmerling during 1953-'54. The meetings were held twice a month, with President Robert Provost presiding. Each council member worked on committees which carried on social affairs, drives, and helped to solve school problems. This year, the Student Council sponsored the Junior Prom and many sport dances. The usual campaigns, such as the S.A.A., the Junior Red Cross, the March of Dimes, and the Library Tag Day, were successfully conducted. The council stood ready to work for the best interests of Man- chester High School at all times. OtTicers for the 1953-'54 year were: President, Robert Provost, Vice- President, Gary Boglig Secretary, Rose Frechettep Treasurer, James Tatro. ifiiwgity First row: Kleft to righti C. Johnson, B.

Verplanck Chapter of the National Honor Society emphasized leadership, service, character, and scholarship, the four characteristics in which a student must excel in order to obtain membership. In the scholastic field, 'I42 points by mid-year were required of sophomores, 220 were required of iuniors, and seniors must have 280 points. The faculty voted on the students who had met the scholastic requirements, and then the members of the society voted on those chosen by the faculty. After a picnic in the early fall, officers were elected and activities for the year were discussed. Miss Doris Kibbe headed the faculty committee. Officers for the year 1953-'54 were: President, James Tatrop Vice-President, Andrew Ansaldi, Secretary, Barbara Field, Treasurer, Roger Turkington, Senior Adviser, Robert Stone, Junior Adviser, John Leander. 87 First row: Cleft to right!

VARSITY M CLUB Ever striving to bring together all varsity letter winners for promotion of true sportsmanship, good will, and fellowship in all endeavors,'f the Varsity M Club, under the direction of Mr. Wilfred J. Clarke, completed one of its most successful years since its start in 1948. Meetings were held on the first and third Mondays of each month. At these meetings speakers were heard, movies seen, and sports of all kinds were played. The year's highlight of the Varsity M Club was the Varsity M Prom held in January at which time Barbara Dougan was chosen as Miss Varsity M . Ofticers for this year were: President, Jack Whitham, Vice-President, Mel Cote, Secretary, George Gentile, Treasurer, Gary Bogli.

Manager Mel Cote was actually the only holdover from the previous year's cage squad. Every other member of the team, including Coach Elgin Zatursky, experienced varsity competition 'for the first time. The enormous task of rebuilding thus begun, was slow and painful. ln the process, the Indians salvaged but two of the first fourteen games - wins over 'East Hartford and Middle- town. The lotter was the only victory in the home Armory. Several fine players for the future have been developed during the season, including iunior Moe Morhardt who led the team in scoring. Another bright spot in the season was the respectable record posted by the J. V. haopsters. JAYVEE BASKETBALL First row: lleft to rightl C. Pickral, R. Tarce, C. Boggini, L. Sear, B. Ayer, B.

The mighty Indians once again couldn't be beat FOOTBALL 1953 will long be remembered in the history of 'Fall sports at Manchester High School. This banner season saw all three varsity teams capture C.C.I.L. titles for the first triple sweep in the league history. They dropped their opener with East Hartford 'I3 to 7, but then reeled ol? seven wins in o row: and captured the C.C.I.L. flag in the process. The Red and White victories were at the expense of Meriden C27-141, Middletown U9-131, Windham C7-OJ, Webster, Moss. Kl4f6j, Bristol U4-61, West Hartford 121-OJ, Weover 126-131. The team spirit so necessary to produce a winner was in large sparked by Co-captains Bill Ritchie and Dick Plogge. JAYVEE FOOTBALL First row: fleft to rightl H. McCammon, A. L'Esperance, B.

Our young warriors went out to capture titles - CROSS COUNTRY Coach Charles Pete Wigren rounded out twenty-two years of directing M.H.S. cross country teams with another very successful season. Included in the numerous accomplishments of the 1953 squad were victories in every dual and triangular meet on its slate and triumphs in the Eastern Connecticut High School Invitational Meet held at the University of Connecticut and the C.C.l.L. Meet held at New Britain Teacher's College. Topping all their list of achievements was the ninth State Championship won by an M.H.S. team. Senior Roger Turkington and Junior Pete Close paced the harriers in every meet with one or the other taking top honor in nearly every race. Close placed second in the State Meet held at Wesleyan. ln two of their dual meets the Indian thin clads posted perfect 15 to 40 scores. One of these wins was at the expense of Hartford Bulkeley. The other came against Bristol when Turkington, Close and Glen Bradley breasted the tape in a triple tie. Captain Adrian Michaud was prevented from taking an active part during much of the season due to a sprained ankle. Fleet-footums Y' t It k ff.-I 4 th 'A i t TRACK And that is what they did. The 1953 edition of the Manchester High track teams had only a mediocre season but merely in comparison with many of the past Wigren- coached track and field outfits. Although the team won no championships, led by Captain Marshall Aitken, they were victorious in meets with Weaver, Bulkeley, Hartford Public and Windham. New Britain, West Hartford and Middletown proved more difficult and posted victories over the locals. The Indians also placed in the first half of the teams entered in the C.C.l.L. meet, the Connecticut Relays ot Storrs and the State meet at New Haven. First row: lleft to rightl R. Turkington, A.

SOCCER Soccer, Football, and Cross Country Soccer at Manchester High School enioyed lts best season in the school's history in 1953. Coach Dick Danielson's charges set many records and accomplished a number of firsts as they captured the first C.C.l.L. championship since 1937. Its record of nine wins, two losses and a tie was the best ever posted by a Red and White squad. ' The tie was at the hands of Ellsworth, and the two losses came at the hands of arch-rival Hall of West Hartford. The Indians triumphed over the Warriors at Mt. Nebo by all to 0 score. On the other hand two victorles over both Bristol and Meriden insured the hooters of the C.C.I.L. flag, sparked by Co-captains, Howie Lautenbach and Jack Whitham. The J. V. boaters, coached by John Palmer, also enioyed a good season, posting a record of five wins, a loss and a tie. The loss was to a team composed of players from the varsity squad while the deadlock was with Ellsworth. JAYVEE SOCCER First row: lleft to rightl R. McNarmar, R. Watson, R. Perlebach, D.

Coach Richard SoIIanek's swimming team gained their way to a three-way tie for the C.C.I.L. championship. During the season six records were broken- one being a state record. Co-captains, Tom Smith and Curt Wright, paced the local natators to six victories, but Meriden, Crosby, Sacred Heart, and Torrington all sunk the Indians. Wright chalked up another two records when he posted a mark of 2:06.3 in the 200 yard freestyle and :55.8 in the I00 yard freestyle. In spite of the slow start, the Red and White Tankers had a successful conclusion to the season. 95 W A! , OV! First row: lleft to rightl H. Schiemel, A. Shorts, R. Cross, J. Bell, R. Gagliardone, P.

CT Ifhpigtfj RIFLE TEAM Mawr lt was an unheard of thing - three titles in a single year. After getting off to a slow start, the Manchester High Rifle team greatly improved and ended their season with a record of five wins and six losses. The squad consisted primarily of first-year shooters and the prospects for next year's team are good. Captained by Ron Seavey, the M.H.S. Riflemen were the first team in the history of the school to defeat Hamden. Tom Flaherty was the individual champion in the C.C.l.L. and Ray Gagliardone took the honors for team championship. Coached by Mr. Gilbert Hunt, the team concluded their season by taking high honors in the state meet at New Haven. 96 BASEBALL But our Manchester Indians did it - In the year of '54! Coach Tom Kelley's 1953 baseball team started their season with all the ear-marks of a winner. Captain Pete Maneggia pitched a five hit 'I0 to 2 victory over Meriden in the opener. He followed it up with a three-hit shutout win over Windham. Bob Biardi matched this performance by blanking Middletown 8 to 0 in the season's third game. Tragedy befell the Indians in this contest, however. Jim Roach, the leading hitter of the previous season and third baseman, was injured while making a diving catch and lost for the rest of the season. Nevertheless, the Red and White nine posted two more wins before the tide turned. The locals dropped the next three contests, and faltering in the stretch, they stumbled- home with an overall record of seven wins and seven losses. Two of the losses, however, were heartbreakers. Windham edged the Indians by a 2 to 1 score, and it took Meriden eleven innings to eke out a 6 to 5 win. On the other hand Rockville proved a soft touch to the Red and White. The Indians had a field day in their second encounter with the Rockville nine. The massacre was halted after seven frames, but not before the locals had sent twenty-four men across the plate and had held the opposition scoreless. Pete Maneggia led the pitchers and Roy McGuire topped the hitters for the season. First row: tleft to rightl B. Cyr, J. Moriarty, D. Balon, P. Mannegia, P. McGure, R. Madsen. Second row: R.

TENNIS Once again the Manchester High tennis team fell victim to the West Hanford iinx. Twice the Hall net- men downed the Indians to capture the C.C.I.L. title, leaving the local squad in the runner-up spot once again. , Otherwise Richard Danielsonfs first season ldue to double ses- sionsj as tennis coach proved quite successful. In the State Tourney, Jim Col- lins, who had paced the team all season, battled all the way to the final round before bowing out. Mickey Fendell and Jimmy Faye also participated but were elimi- nated in the earlier rounds. 98 GOLF Lawrence Perry, serving his Grst term as mentor of the M.H.S. golf team, was re- warded by his charges with a C.C.I.L. championship. Led by Captain Danny De- Martin, a fine squad that included Ronnie Watts, Bob Peterson, Bob Upton and Bob Stone, numbered Bristol, Meriden, Windham, and Hall among their victims.

QW X ts gr.. , z- W GIRLS SPORTS Soccer, tennis, archery, bowling, volleyball, and softball were the many after school sports offered this year at Manchester High School. These sports were under the supervision of Miss Case and Miss Peterson. Soccer headed the list of the fall sports with one of the largest groups coming out for practice. Techniques of kicking and handling the ball, along with teamwork, were learned at these practices. . Participants in tennis learned the right method of serving and hitting the ball, while those interested in archery were able to practice hitting the bull's eye. The tips on tennis and archery were greatly appreciated by both beginners and veterans of both sports. Girls who took part in basketball this year participated in a Round Robin Tourna- ment. The captains of the four teams were Peggy Carter, Peggy Erickson, Peggy Lynch and Betty White with Peggy Erickson's team winning the most games. A group of these enthusiastic players went to New Britain to play against three New Britain teams in a Play Day held in February. Bowling, a favorite sport of many, was held two days a week for the benefit of those girls who had six period classes. Many girls were very satisfied in seeing their scores climb steadily from the time they began this sport until they finished. The spring season brought many willing fans out onto the field to practice up on pitching, and hitting, and to occasionally play a game or two. In volley- spring sport, the girls practiced serving and scoring. of volleyball and softball brought the close of school, and thus ended and highly successful sports year at Manchester High School. their fielding, ball, another The end another busy The girls are champs, too! 99 I JUNIOR AND SENIOR GIRLS LEADERS' CLUB First row: Cleft to rightl Miss Case, P.

GIRLS LEADERS' CLUB The Junior-Senior Girls Leaders' Club under the direction of Miss Case, and the Freshman-Sophomore Girls Leaders' Club, under the direction of Miss Peterson, both had a highly successful year. The club offered opportunities for training in leadership to any girl who was interested in sports. Any freshman, sophomore, iunior, or senior, was eligible for membership, providing she maintained a C average in all her academic subiects and a B average in gym. Each leader must have participated in at least one sport every season. Fifty points were. given toward athletic credit for participation in the club. A sport's night was planned for the early spring which. included such groups as folk dancing, square dancing, a Bloomer Girl gym class, and a modern gym class. The annual co-rec night with the Varsity M Club was also held in the spring. The ofiicers of the club for the year were: President, Peggy Carterg Vice-President, Helen Goss: Secretary-Treasurer, Mary Parmakian.
