She girdeth her loins with strength, And maketh strong her arms. She spreadeth out her hand to the poor; Yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. Strength and dignity are her clothing; And she laugheth at the time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; And the law of kindness is on her tongue. She looketh well to the ways of her household, And eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children rise up, and call her blessed; Give her of the fruit of her hands; And let her works praise her in the gates. Ella Tambussi Grasso made history by becom- ing the first woman to be elected governor in her own right. After twenty-two years of political ser- vice, she was elected governor of Connecticut by a 200,000 vote plurality, November, 1974. HER EXCELLENCY, GOVERNOR ELLA GRASSO She is not an ardent feminist, but she does personify the reality of equal rights for women. “I was the people’s candidate, and the results have sustained me. I would hope that whatever qualities I have would be a credit to women as well as to the human race — of which I am also a part of.” I Am Strong I Am Invincible I Am Woman Freshmen slate of officers Women In Action 1 | % m - . It is not female egotism to say that the future of mankind may very well be ours to determine. It is a fact. Shirley Chisholm The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn. We are filled with the popular wisdom of several centuries just past, and we are terrified to give it us. 10 Coach Wilson, directing This year was the first year of competitive girls’ varsity basketball. The tremendous shooting of Holly Warmsley led the girls to a series of very exciting, close games. Next year will hopefully bring a winning record for girls’ basketball.

The Seniors who completed four years of football service could be very proud of their 21 wins- 16 loss over-all record. Ted Tucci, outstanding guard, received the John Sweeny most valuable Lineman award. Andy Rus- sell received the Robert Scanlon Award as the Most Improved Player Award. Ted Tucci, Tom Zupan, Mark Sbona, Nelson Cunningham were gi- ven Honorable mention on the All Northwest Con- ference Football Team. Mike Derosier and Gary Behm were selected as starters on the All Confer- ence Defensive Team. The Cunningham Brothers Cross Country’s ’75 sea- son was the most success- ful in many years: 11 wins- 4 losses, Mid-State and City champs. Co-captain Mike Pyt- lik, voted to the All-Star team, proved to be one of the finest runners in the entire history of Cross Country at M.H.S.- winning 11 meets. Ray Conroy won the Carlyle G. Hoyt Most Im- proved Runner Award, and Mike Pytlik won the Eagle- Carta- McCarthy- Pulino Award as the most consistent runner. 22 Co-captains M. Pytlik, Ray Conroy, S. Calvo, J. Daw- kins. W.

The 1974 version of the Middletown High School Soccer Team completed a very success- ful season. The final record was 10 wins, 5 losses, and 3 ties. The last regular scheduled game was a night game with Vinal Tech which the Tigers won 3-0 to earn the City Championship. The Tiger’s conference record was 5-0-2 as Middletown kept its record of never losing in a confer- ence soccer game. The Tigers were ranked fifteenth in the State Class “M” Tournament and made a fine showing. The Tigers were finally eliminated by Killingly 2-1 as the winning goal came with only 1:14 left to play. The Tigers were led all year by Tri- Captains Sergio Guricullo, Ken King, and Sal Savastra. These three were elected to the M.S.A.C. All- Conference team. Gurciullo led the team with 14 goals while King led the team in assists with 10. Savastra was named the winner of the “Most Con- sistant Player Award” for his excel- lent play on defense all year. 24 Tri-captains: S. Savastra, S. Gurciullo, K. King. S. Dimauro. G. DeBrasion, A.

Cohesive and inspired play can be attri- buted to the Tiger’s successful sea- son. A famous Harold Reach A corny stretch and An amie ace The Tigers were led by Seniors co-captains Ar- nold Steadham, David Calarco, and Nelson Cun- ningham; sophomore, Harold Johnson, and fresh- men, Cornelius Thompson. Participation in the state tournament highlighted the season as the Tigers were fortunate enough to make it to the quarter-finals but were defeated by the class B Champs, St. Paul’s of Bristol, 58-53. The Tigers fared well in the selection of the all-conference team as .two players were chosen; Arnold Stead- ham and Cornelius Thompson. Making the second-team all conference was Nelson Cun- ningham and receiving honorable mention was Da- vid Calarco. A mucltle sinker Roster A. Steadham D. Calarco N. Cunningham H.Johnson C.

The M.H.S. Rifle team finished its season with a 3-7 record. This year’s team, young and inexperienced, has shown that it will do well next year under the leadership of co-captains Mike Goodreau and Chip Saltsman.

Kim placed sixth in the CIAC Class M State meet, and also received the Lawrence J. Kalfelz most improved swim- mer award. 31 The Tigers completed their 1975 baseball season with a 12-6 record, finished second in the Mid-State confer- ence, and qualified to participate in the State High School Baseball Tournament. Co-captains Mark Sbona and Kenny King led this year’s team. Junior Gary Mu- zik starred as the leveling hitter and was voted the most valuable player. Further honors were gathered by catcher Richard Tosto, outfielder Mark Sbona, and Coach DeNunzio. The two players were selected for the annual Connecti- cut High School All-star game the class M schools against the class S schools. Coach DeNunzio was hon- ored by the Connecticut High School Coaches’ Associa- tion as head coach of the class M contenders. Both the varsity and the J.V.’s enjoyed the luxury of playing on their own home field. This marks the second season in their own new facilities. Bill Fargnoli’s J.V.’s ended with a very successful 10- 3 record. Tigers — we congratulate you for a great season! Reach, Ruth When we realize that the Tiger Tennis Team has no courts and often only a token use of the city facilities, we are amazed at their fantastic accom- plishments this year. The 13-3 record for the year was accomplished by captain Dean Coogan with a perfect record in first singles and doubles, John Gebhardt holding down second singles, and senior new commer Rich Renock coming through with an 11 and 3 record in third singles. The 13 wins this year pushed our four year re- cord to 52-11. This four year record has been un- matched in M.H.S. tennis history dating back to 1928. 34 Heave WOMEN MEN Rachel Snow Claire Coley (capt.)

The Tigers were lead by captains Ted Tucci, Gill Liljedahl, and Mike Pytlik, along with seniors Tony Pizzuto, and Roger Davis. The team began its season defeating Cromwell and Coginchaug on their new all-weather track. The team suffered a great setback as senior cap- tain Gill Liljedahl fell and broke his hand. During the weeks which followed, the Tigers did their best but obviously missed the talents of Lil- jedahl. At the spring sports banquet, Ted Tucci was given the most valuable player award along with the scholar athlete award. Sophomore Harold Johnson won the most improved player award. Harold led the team in scoring as he dominated the long and triple jump events. 39 Underclassmen Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors.

Attorney Nicholas Scamparino’s distinguished career in one sense ended this summer of 1974, but his record as an involved citizen lives on in the memory of his accomplishments.. His war record includes Deputy Chief of the Italian Division, Secret Intelli- gence chief in the Middletown Theatre during World War II. Among his awards are the medal of Freedom, Iron Cross of Merit (Italy), Gold Lateran Cross from the Vatican, and an honorary Doctor of Juris from the University of Rome. Among his numerous achievements in Connecticut are his political career, his service as State’s Attorney, municipal judge, advisor to Connecticut State Fe- deration of Labor and Counsel for the Italian Consul General of N.Y.C. With such an impressive background, he guided the Middletown High School building committee, a demanding and tedious endeavor that brought to fruition this new and daring edifice. In one sense it stands as a monument to him as we mourn his passing. “O iron nerve to true occasion true, O fallen at length, that tower of strength Which stood four-square to all the winds that blew.” 65 National Honor Society CLUBSAND ACTIVITIES An amusing moment Cauldron Staff — In the throes of planning Key Club — Active philanthropists of MHS Active Tigers The cheers of the crowds still ring in the memories of those who fought valiantly on courts, fields, or cinder paths.

Since I came to the U.S. in August, 1974, and particularly since I started school here, I have made many, many friends. I was given a great number of opportunities to meet people and go places, and I am grateful for all these experiences. Jamie, in his usual good mood — the Kiwi lad with personality! 112 Perhaps one of the most important parts of my year in the U.S. was my school experience. I was fortunate in being able to sample two different educational systems. I have been able to make many comparisons between the two school systems and have come up with good and bad points for both. One aspect of the schools here which struck me hard is the facilities which exist within each separate school. Modem, up-to-date equipment and teaching aids make learning a pleasure. In New Zealand, however, we are not as fortunate, and I do hope you appreciate the great facilities available to you. Living away from your home, your family, and country for a year is not at all easy. There are some sacrifices which have to be made. However, I would say that this year has been the most reward- ing year of my life. It’s just great to have come to the United States not knowing a soul, and then be reluctant to leave so many wonderful friends. James Travers and faith 113 Susan White Susan Wiknik April Williams R.
