Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1958 volume:

ears o, THE 1958 CAULDRON MIDDLETOWN HIGH SCHOOL Man is most noble when, confronted by seemingly overwhelming and unjust circumstances, he rises to the occasion and overcomes them by means of a determined and courageous display of will. We are proud to know one of these few. In the hope that we can go through life with a small portion of the courage he has already shown, we didicate this yearbook to Salvatore Mazzotta. 2 TTLdst the S cenes Congratulations to the members of the Class of 1958 upon your graduation and Best Wishes” for success in your next endeavor, whether this will be in college, business, industry, or in one of the armed forces of our country. As you leave high school, you are fired with ambition to succeed in your chosen field. Let your ambition be a help to build a better community, a better nation, and a better world. You will receive the greatest satisfaction from accomplishments which do more than merely sustain your own life. The real evaluation of your success will be in terms of service to others. JOHN W. GOODRICH Superintendent of Schools One of the purposes of education is preparation for responsible citizenship. Today more than ever, as technological achievements have made great strides in man’s conquest of space, questions of international policy as well as momentous national decisions must be the concern of all the people. The educated, responsible citizen uses the know- ledge he has accumulated in arriving at wise decisions, selecting appropriate courses of action, choosing leaders of integrity and dependability, understanding our culture, and participating intelligently in public affairs. We would like to believe that your high school has helped you to attain some measure of competence in these qualities which make for good citizenship and that you accept the responsibilities which all in a democracy must share.

The 1957 Tigers, led by Joel Ka- batznick, possessed these. However, a lack of experience, the loss of ir- replaceable players of the 1956 squad, and lack of depth led to a very mediocre year of one win to seven losses, including that to our arch rivals, Wilson High. The one win over Windham High, though, was a rousing 20-7 victory, the re- sult of much diligent practice the preceding week. The schedule was greatly hampered, also, by the prevalence of Asiatic Flu, both at Middletown High and its rival schools. Fifth row: L. LaBclIa, J. Swift, A. Matterazzo, C. Astle, F. Amara, P.

Dropping one meet to Bristol by a single point, the harriers” completed a nearly perfect season. Paced by Captain Bob McCarthy, they emerged victors of the Con- necticut Valley Conference meet, took third place in the University of Connecticut Invitational meet, and captured fifth place in the state meet. The ficet-foots far surpassed Coach Bozoian’s expectations. Cap- tain McCarthy placed tenth in the state meet, which qualified him for the New England State finals. There Bob received a gold medal for plac- ing in the first fifteen. CHEERLEADING Iron them out! Iron them out! Iron them out smooth! Who? Wil- son!! Thus the cheerleaders shout their spirit-provoking cheers to a throng of M. H. S. students. Our Pepperpots are an organization of girls devoted to cheering Tiger teams on to victory as well as main- taining a high standard of student conduct at games and elsewhere. Entrance into this group is based on neat physical appearance and good conduct, as well as cheering ability. Tryouts are held each spring for the following year and cover several weeks of rigourous practice and eliminations. Elected each year are two subs in addition to the regular squad. The girls, led by Pauline Tellier and guided by Mrs. Buckley, com- prised a group of which Middle- town High was justly proud. Left to right: M. Purzycki, M. Milano, R. Augeri, F. Kuzaro, P.

BATON CORPS Strut and smile and lead those Tigers on to victory.” With these words in mind, the Baton Corps practiced afternoons in the gym under the direction of Major Harvey of Hartford, with Miss Woodington serving as their adviser. The corps uniforms were black with white and gold braid, and had plumed hats to match. Its routines, intricate but well-executed, were witnessed by large crowds during game half-times and pep assemblies, adding much to the spirit and color of the events. Those who led the group were Elaine Schettino, president; Pat Huse, vice-president; Barbara Di- Mauro, secretary; and Barbara Zac- 43 zenski, treasurer. Front row: D. Dittman, B. McCarthy, R. Wesloski, A. Philipchik, C. Erlacher, S. Clew. Second row: L. D’Amato, J. Marino, R. Daley, L. Mikowski, M. Garafalo, D. Pomfrec, Coach Tenney. BASKETBALL Spirit and the advantages of long practice certainly were not lacking in the Tigers, but somehow their record didn’t show it. Hampered by the loss of all last year’s letter- men, the team dropped its first nine games. However, the boys won the next two as senior letterman Carl Erlacher, out for the beginning of the season, rejoined the Tiger Five. The season is not complete at this writing. Perhaps the most disheartening game was the home game with Wil- son, our arch rivals. Leading for the first three quarters, M.H.S. dropped behind at the last to lose. The team is not captained by one man, various members sharing the honor throughout the year. The boys, led by Coach Tenney, have higher hopes for next year when Larry Mikowski, high scorer for the first eleven games, will be a senior. Kneeling: G. Miller, R. Inferrcra, F. Chalker, W.

Dunn. 44 SWIMMING TEAM The 1957-1958 Swimming Team, under Coach Robert Parmelee, en- joyed a better than average season this year. Set back in their first encounter, the team immediately gained momentum and went on to overcome such schools as Bulk ley, Amity, North Haven, and Meriden. The tankmen, led by Captain Vito Bonaiuto, practiced daily dur- ing swimming season in the Y.M.C.A. pool. SWIMMING The M.H.S. Swimming Club was organized last year to give members of the Leaders’ Club the opportunity to swim in the winter months. This year the group was enlarged and membership was opened to all in- terested girls. The resulting growth in attendance necessitated the divi- sion of the club into two groups, a freshman-sophomore and a junior- senior one, which met on Thursday afternoons and evenings at the Y” pool. On February 13, the club spon- sored a playday with non-member girls at M.H.S. The group also saw an A.A.U. swimming meet at New Haven in April. Officers this year were Sybil Lev- son, president; Mary Kowaleski and Orianne Oppelt, secretaries; and Kathy Murphy, treasurer. Miss Patri- cia Buckley was life-guard and ad- viser. Front row: S. Levine, V. Brown, D. Brennan, L. Hastings, M. A. Brookes, J Ghent, M. Maroni, L. F.hlinger, Miss Buckley. Second row: N. Citron, S. Stevens, S. Brys, M. Hill, K. Murphy, N. Taylor, S. Robida, M.

Bowling groups are arranged and scores are kept by the girls them- selves. In place of the annual Christmas party this year, prizes were awarded at the last meeting before the holi- days to the high and low scorers. In addition, a trophy for the girl with the highest bowling average was awarded at the end of the year’s events. Officers were Alice Cornish, presi- dent; Esther Newberg, vice-presi- dent; Jean Buttmi, secretary; and Frances Kuzaro, treasurer. 45 RIFLE Front row: D. Kiley, W. Binkowski, P. Newell, D. McGrath, W. Moniz. Second row: J. Geffkin, C. Geffkin, A. Berg, P. Kosicki, R. Zions. The M.H.S. Rifle team is a long- established organization with a per- fect safety record. This year, after getting off to a slow start with a 1-3 record, beating only Vinal Tech, the team picked up and ended with a reputable slate. Its spirit, however, was always good, as attested by Coach Tucci. The club, led by co- captains Newell and McGrath, holds practice and home meets at its range at the Middletown Armory. Com- petition is keen among the shooters for the medals awarded at the sea- son's end for the highest scoring and the best season average. TENNIS Under the fine coaching of Mr. Tenney the 1957 tennis team had a fairly successful season. The Tiger Netmen defeated Portland High twice and Meriden High once, twice and Meriden High once. However, they were subdued by Wilson twice, Meriden once, and Bristol twice. In the singles competition the Bengals had a strong delegation headed by Captain Richard Eld- ridge, who was a consistent winner; Joe Rizzo, a capable number two man; and Richard Daly who had the best form on the squad. Richard Daly had the honor of being elected captain of the 1958 team for his 46 fine playing during the past spring months. Kneeling: R. Rosenbaum, F. Chalker, R. Daly, J. Kabatznick, R. Baskin. Standing: A. Mendelowitz, R. Poliner, D. Shenker, C. Marino, M. Shlien, P. Roberts, J. Patrick, Coach Tenney. GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ORGANIZATION Every M.H.S. girl automatically becomes a member of the G.A.A. upon entering high school. Its primary purpose is to promote good sportsmanship, an interest in athletics and good health in all mem- bers. Superior gym students, in addition, are placed in Leaders’ Club, a branch of the G.A.A. governed by the same officers. The highlight of this organi- zation's activities came on Novem- ber 22 when the officers and room representatives gave an extremely successful dance for the student body, with Autumn Nocturn” as its theme. Leading the club this year were Pat Tynan, president; Mary Kowale- ski, vice-president; Pat Hubbard, secretary; and Eloise Geary, treas- urer. Left to right: P. Hubbard, M. Kowalcski, E. Geary, P. Tynan. Front row: S. Levine, E. Ratcliffe, E. Fitzgibbons, P. Hubbard, P. Tynan, E. Geary, P. Morassini, D. Brennan, B. Miner, B. Kroc, J. Cubeta, J. Murphy. Second row: M. Purzycki, R. Isaacson, D.

P3B3 g a LEADERS’ CLUB Leaders’ Club, instituted last year under the supervision of Mrs. Buck- ley, merged this year with the G.A.A. Approximately eighty girls, consid- ered to have outstanding ability in their gym classes, belong to the club and attend special meetings during activity. periods to increase their knowledge and skill in athletics. They in turn assist in refereeing, taking attendance, and leading exer- cises during regular classes. An annual playday is held when the girls compete with girls from other schools. This year Pat Tynan was presi- dent, Mary Kowaleski, vice-presi- dent; Pat Hubbard, secretary; and Eloise Geary, treasurer. BASEBALL After a final record last year of five wins and nine losses, the base- ball team started its 1958 season under Coach DeNunzio minus eight lettermen. However, the team shows spirit and the will to win” and hopes for a better ending this year. Their success will depend largely on its four remaining letter- men who are: co-captains Jim Cahill and Bob Wesloski, both pitching and outfielding; Vic Spada as catcher; and Ray Kalinowski at shortstop. Much help is expected, however, from last year’s numeral winners who should provide a team for the next two years as they gain experience this season. Front row: J. Jagoda, J. Ulias, A. Brown, S.

TRACK The 1'957 track team chalked up a record to be proud of. Winning four and losing four, the fleet-foots captured the fifth place title in the State Indoor Meet at U.Conn, and fourth in the Connecticut Relays at U. Conn. Under the expert coaching of Mr. Bozoian, the team won many laurels as the boys went out to win the C.V.C. meet at New Britain Teachers' College and the sixth place title in the state indoor meet at Yale. The team lost the city championship, however, to Wilson with a score of 58 1 2 to 45 2 3.

STUDENT COUNCIL With Jack Monnes as president and Janice Sheehan as secretary, the Student Council met Tuesdays during activity periods with Mr. Fillback and Mr. Healy. Fulfilling their purpose of serving as a medium between the student body and faculty, promoting school spirit and welfare, and developing student responsibility, the council kept busy with a number of activi- ties, the first being a get-acquainted dance for all students. Other ac- complishments included the election of Police Force and Fire Squad mem- bers, the sale of pencils and book- covers, repair of the piano used for dances, and the purchase of a brand new Girard phonograph and records with money raised by voluntary student contributions. In addition, work was begun on an orientation film for incoming freshmen. Mem- bers also kept up-to-date on the activities of other schools by attend- ing conferences on the function of the Student Council. 56 GIRLS’ STUDENT LEAGUE The purpose of the G. S. L, of which every girl in school is a mem- ber, is to perform services and pro- vide social activity for the school and community. This is done through an executive board, pictured here, which is under the direction of Miss Dorothy Wigmore, assisted by Miss Margaret Kinnirey. This year the Board, elected and installed the preceding May, sponsored the United Fund Drive, the Christmas Stocking Fund, the program of tea- chers’ secretaries, and the Freshman- Junior Party, as well as assisting in the canteen at some of the Red Cross Blood Banks. The year’s highlight came in May with the G. S. L. Dance and the crowning of its queen. The League's president this year was Beverly Overend. Seated: Estelle Byrd, sophomore representative; Pauline Tellier, pianist; Beverly Overend, presidnt. Standing: Dianne Williams, freshman representative; Madeline DeBari, news-reporter; Mildred Pomfret, director of socials; Betty Grillo, junior representative; Linda Roccapriore, senior representative; Alice Cornish, secretary; Pat Lockhart, vice-president; Margot Butterfield, director of service. TIGER TALES Published ten times annually, Tiger Tales is eagerly awaited on its day of publication by the students of M.H.S. There are over fifty-five staff members and eight editors, all of whom work for three weeks in advance to get the news into print. The paper consists of a news page, sports page, and two feature pages which include the editorial, gossip column, alumni column, and the popular Mr. and Mrs. M.H.S.” Serving ”on top” this year were Sybil Levson, editor-in-chief; Linda Ehlinger, news editor; Joan Gins- berg, feature editor; Joel Kabatz- nick, sports editor; Pearl Mendel- owitz, business manager; and Linda Roccapriore, Over the Back Fence” editor; Linn Krashan, alumni edi- tor; and Fred Marozzi, photogra- pher.

CAULDRON Herein lies the fruit of 'blood, sweat, and tears,’ shed to bring you a classbook we hope will be ever more meaningful as the years fly by. We feel we owe you an ex- planation for the changes made in 1958. Oux first objective was to include as much information as possible within our limited space. The use of photographs in the chapter headings, we feel, achieves this more effectively than sketches of unfamiliar objects which might car- ry out a theme but could run away with the book. The editors hope the readers will enjoy the personal senior sketches on which the literary staff worked long and hard. To achieve freshness the photography staff tried for variety in the pattern and designs of student groupings. Barring unforeseen crises you will have pictures of your Senior Ball, Class Night, and Graduation, as well as other spring events, in our Cauldron supplement. Alto- gether we hope you will enjoy and treasure this book in the years ahead. Front row: T. Schorske, D. Gomez-Ibanez, J. Robinson, L. Roccapriore, L. Ehlinger, S. Levson, A. Aresco, V.

II m’incombe done de declarer la seance ouverte.” This is Linda Ehlinger speaking as she opens the monthly meeting of the French Club, assisted by Sybil Levson, vice-president; and Linda Roccapriore, secretary. Serving as adviser is Miss Margaret Kinnirey. A week previous to the regular meeting a program committee, con- sisting of representatives from each French class, meet to plan the events. This year they have varied from French songs and games to a guest speaker, or slides on France. One of the aims has been to teach students La Marseillaise,” the French nation- al anthem. JUNIOR CLASSICAL LEAGUE The M.H.S. chapter of the Junior Classical League enjoyed a successful year under the direction of Miss Eleanor Riordan. The year's activi- ties began with the installation of freshmen in November. Other events of the year were a Christmas party, a state-wide convention in Hartford, and of course that annual gala event, the Latin Banquet.

Johnson its function is to check all school fire equipment regularly, direct traffic during emer- gency drills, and see that the school is completely evacuated. The squad is led by Armand Giroux, fire chief. The Middletown Fire Department keeps a close check on the squad, placing their men, who represent people in a state of panic, in closets in the school before the drill. It is the additional duty of members to see that all closets are empty before evacuating the school themselves. Left to right: J. Chalker, V. Santavcncre, P. Mendelowitz, S. Levson, L.

Elections of new members are held every spring and fall by old members and faculty in the music department and are based on the candidate's music ability, scholarship, cooperation with both students and teachers, leader- ship, and service. The purpose of this organization is to foster a greater and continued interest in solo, ensemble, band, orchestral, and choral performances; and to advance the spirit of good music and desire for musical know- ledge, as well as further the repua- tion of the school as a music center. At the monthly meetings various programs pertaining to music are enjoyed by the members. This year a display was planned for the bank window honoring National Music Education Week and the society sponsored the spring concert. Officers are Pearl Mendelowitz, president; Viola Santavenere, sec- retary; and Sybil Levson, treasurer. First row: J. Poliner, E. Rame, V. Santavenere, E. Roccapriore, T. Schorske, B. Westgate, D.

Gomez-Ibahez, J. Fisher, L. Lund- berg, H. Henncy, B. Weber, and Mrs. Taylor, director. 60 LITTLE CHOIR The Little Choir is composed of twenty-six voices selected from all classes as a result of try-outs held in the fall. Its members meet in the bandroom or auditorium after school every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Although rehearsals us- ually last approximately a full period, no credit toward graduation is given, pleasure in singing being its sole purpose. The choir annually performs for the United Fund Din- ner, P.T.A., the Middletown Ex- change Club, and assemblies at M.H.S. This year it has been under the able direction of Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Spencer. THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The National Honor Society, in exemplifying high scholarship, con- structive leadership, true character, and devoted service, strives to em- body the ideals of the school. This year, under the guidance of Mrs. Lois Horbal, its members served as tutors for extra study as well as substitute teachers. To be eligible for membership in the ’spring or fall, a junior or senior must have obtained a cumu- lative record of 85 or better. Elec- tion is by honor student and faculty vote. The society’s pin holds a blazing torch, the light of learning, and a gold keystone signifying the virtue of knowledge. The officers were John Monnes, president; Linda Ehlinger, secre- tary; and Joel Kabatznick, treas- urer. Front Row: J. Edelberg, P. Tellier, G. Doreau, M. Pomfrct. Second Row: T. Dondero, M.

FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA The Future Teachers of America is open to any student interested in teaching as a vocation. Its activi- ties are varied: the members put on radio programs, visit state col- leges and universities, act as recep- tionists for the parents’ nights, and listen to a guest speaker on the teaching profession at one time dur- ing the year. The organization now holds elections and installation of officers in November, but the con- stitution will probably be amended to change this to the preceding May. Officers are Jean Murphy, presi- dent; Angela Scirpo, vice-president; Kathy Dunn, secretary; and Ruth Lyons, treasurer. Joan Ginsberg took charge of publicity, and Mr. John Gale served as adviser to the group. Seated: E. Newberg, F. Marozzi, V. Marchese. Standing, first row: D. Hunter, N. Citron, M. Sharrie, E. Roccapriore, V. Brown, K. Hurwitz, J. Grower, R. Rosenbaum. Second row: J. Kabatznick, R. Pandolfo, J. Alquist, A. Levin, P. Marchese, T. Schorske. PLAYMAKERS Playmakers, the dramatic organi- zation of has greatly in- creased its membership and activi- ties in the three years since its founding. This year, under the supervision of Miss Molly Trinkaus, the group presented to the student body three successful plays. The major produc- tion of the year was The Courting of Marie Jenvrin,” a light comedy. Also presented were The Happy Journey’’ by Thornton Wilder, a partial pantomime with little scen- ery, and Conga,” a dramatic play of teen-age frustrations. The students not only performed in these produc- tions but also worked on the staging, make-up, and scenery. Officers this year were Fred Marozzi, president; Vinnie Mar- chese, vice-president; and Esther Newberg, secretary. Left to right: P. Marchese, A. Levin, R. Prickett, B. Bradbury, V. Marchese. AUDIO-VISUAL AIDS The Audio-visual Aids Club con- sists of a group of boys who assist in the showing of movies and film- strips, caring for light and sound equipment during assemblies, and handling radio broadcasts. The group also maintains the school juke box and the equipment which measures the intensity of competi- tive cheers at pep assemblies. In existence for six years, the club’s main purpose is to free the teachers of the task of running audio-visual equipment. This ser- vice gives the teacher more time to explain the significance of the film. The members of the club are under the guidance and instruction 62 of Mr. John Dunn. 11183414 SENIOR FROLIC October 28 ,1957 'The Three Little Kittens” wail in true feline style.
