1 Ei 5 3 2 RD SCH FORD, CDNNECT A Q0-- W i i l i THE CLASS 0F 1938 respectfully dedicates this Year Book to MRS. PAUL D. SHAFER in appreciation of her enthusiastic interest and untiring effort in behalf of the school. A MESSAGE FBOM THE IIEADMASTEB HE Editorial Board of the Typhoon has been kind in offering me this opportunity to speak for the last time ofhcially to the students of Milford for the year 1937-1938. As the material for this year's edition has been coming in, I have felt that it would be one of the fmest that the School has hadg the product reiiects the promise. I congratulate Mr. Gill, Editor Arnold Lowe, and the other members of the Board on the excellence of their work. The past school year has been most satisfactory. When a school contains an industrious and considerate student body and a loyal faculty, its morale will be high and the satisfactions of the head, many. Such has been the case this year at Milford. Both Mrs. Shafer and I appreciate the considerate contribution which students and faculty have made to our happiness. Now we are saying 'fGood-bye to Milford and to you who have been so close to us. When a youth leaves home for the final time to seek alone the fortune which the world holds for him, his parents usually give advice, even though he may not accept it. Our separation is like home-leaving-qand I have a habit of giving advice. I like to think that in the days and years ahead, each of us will remember the thought that we have stressed this year together: To be the finest person possible and to do our best at every task, always considering the feelings and needs of our fellows. That is a most inclusive statement, but even if our personal application of it be rather modest, it will help give worthy meaning to our lives. We offer our best wishes to you who make up the class of 1938. I don't know where one could find a finer group of young men. Mrs. Shafer and I will always have a place in our hearts for every one of you. PAUL D. SHAFER. N47 Q.- , rr -,,5..--v -, H, f -i L THE SCH MR MR MR MR MR MR MR MR MR MR MR THE FACULTY . PAUL D.

SEDGWICK HUPPUCH THE HEADMASTER'S COUNCIL The Headmaster's Council was one of the most important and influential groups in the school.

The editors of the school publications, the heads of the Wilson and Gould Clubs, the captains of the various athletic teams, the managers of these teams, and the president of the graduating class were members. The group met with the Headmaster at different times during the school year to talk over and offer solutions to some of the problems that arose during the school year. 543 fu THE TYPlIO0N BOARD ARNOLD L.

Besides the hne work accomplished by the group, each member may look back with satisfaction on the pleasure of these weekly meetings. an ' gm' THE SOCIAL COMMITTEE Probably the Social Committee did more for the enjoyment of the entire student body than did any other organization. This group had charge of arranging all the social events of the school year. Such programs as the Saturday Night parties, the informal dances, the badminton exhibitions, and various card parties were ably conducted under its management. THE GRENFELL CLUB The Grenfell Club was an active agent in the school life this year. This group took charge of collecting contributions for welfare work. The fall term saw this organization contribute to the Red Cross, while the winter semester saw the Grenfell conduct a very successful Christ- mas party.

The squad, made up of a hard-charging line and a group of fast, experienced backs, did themselves justice throughout the season. Their record does not fully show the team's caliber, for Coach Pepper had little time in which to show his boys the type of play used by Milford elevens. The only regulars returning from the '36 team were Captain Bruce Newell and Johnny Gannon. The team was very fortunate in having Captain Newell as its leader for Bruce's stellar playing was most inspiring to his teammates. just five days after the initial practice, the Maroon and White traveled to Wallingford to battle the experienced Choate eleven. The Milford team was on the defensive the major part of the afternoon-an excellent defense that slowly and reluctantly gave way before the Choate opposition. Milford can well be proud of the manner in which its team stood up under this 16-0 defeat. Ayres, of Choate, commenced the scoring by blocking johnny Gannon's kick on the eleven yard line for a safety. Shortly after, in the same second period, the Blue and Gold drove down the field to enable its captain, Charlie Spryer, to score a touchdown on a spinner and to make the conversion. Late in the third period, Spryer again scored seven points to bring the total to sixteen. Captain Bruce Newell and Steve O'Hedy did exceptionally fine defensive work. On October 15th, Milford raised havoc with the Yale Freshman Seconds. After numerous scoring threats, the Milfordians won the game 20-6. In the first period, a recovered fumble on Yale's eight yard line by Arnold Lowe paved the way to the first score on a pass from Steve O'Hedy to Mike Pepper. O'Hedy con- verted the extra point. Early in the second quarter, Yale's Captain Kreck scored the lone Yale touchdown on an off-tackle plunge. After a scoreless third frame, O'Hedy threw a pass that enabled Mike Pepper to score on the initial play of the last period. O'Hedy again converted the extra point. Milford again scored, but an off-side penalty brought the ball back to the eleven-yard line. There, a pass from Larry McNally to Johnny Gannon put the ball in a position that enabled Walt Reynolds to plunge over for Milford's last score. Williamstown was the site of the next game, when the Maroon and White went to play the Williams College Freshmen on the 23rd. Falling before an over- powering assault, the Milford gridders fell to the tune of 37-6. Milford got off to a fast start by making a first period march to tally the initial six-points. How- ever, the tide changed, and a battered Milford team went down to its last defeat of the season. On October 29th, the Milfordians traveled to Suffield Academy to chalk up a 12-O win. ,In the first frame, the Milford squad tallied once, establishing a lead that was never threatened during the game. Shortly after the opening kick-off, the Maroon and White carried the ball to Suffield's two-yard line only to lose it on downs. However, Milford soon recovered possession of the pigskin and paved the way to the first score via a line plunge by Walt Reynolds. The highlight of the game came in the third chucker when joe Zanolli defiected an intended Suffield pass. The ball was caught by Milford's right guard, Bob Campbell, who ran 55 yards for the final score. Playing its first, and only, home game of the season on November 6th, the Milford Varsity encountered the powerful Cheshire Academy aggregation. The never-yielding defense, as shown by Milford that day, enabled the home team to hold the heavier Cheshire club to a scoreless tie. Up against the strongest opposition since the Choate game, the Maroon and White gave an excellent show- ing before an excited crowd. Although the Cheshire team threatened several times, jake Kupec's educated toe and the line's splendid resistance saved the day. The final game of the season also ended in a scoreless tie when the Wilbraham Academy squad held the Maroons on November 13th. Playing on a mud-soaked field, the Milford offense was unable to secure a substantial foothold, and, there- fore, was held scoreless. The majority of play took place in Wilbraham territory. With this game, Milford wound up a successful season, losing two games, tying two, and winning two. The team, coached by Mr. Jerry Pepper and led by Captain Bruce Newell, was made up of the following: Bill Barnum, Joe Boyle fcaptain-electj, Bob Camp- bell, johnnie Gannon, Jake Kupec, Arnold Lowe, Larry McNally, Steve O'Hedy, Mike Pepper, Walt Reynolds, Bob Schotta, King Whitaker, joe Zanolli, joe Cohen, Jerry Carpinella, Steve Cuomo, Don Fischbeck, Gene F rechette, Ted Gumpert, Irwin Halbreich, Walt Kelly, Bob O'Neill, Bud Rosenfeld, Walt Sheahan, and Warren Terrell.

'--rw SIX-MAN F00'I'BALL Six-man football, which in the last few years has been very popular in the Mid-West at the smaller schools, has gained somewhat of a foothold in the East. Along with several other schools of Connecticut, Milford has included it among its inter-scholastic sports. As the name implies, six-man football is a variation of regular football, having only six men on the team and being played on a field four-fifths the size of a regular gridiron. The scoring is the same for the touch- down and conversion in both games, but four points are given for a field goal in the new game. Milford got off to a late start in the sport and, consequently, had only two games. They were both with the Fairfield Country Day School, and in the second game Milford showed vast improvement and enthusiasm in the sport. In the first game Fairfield came out victorious after a hard encounter against a fighting Milford team. Gene Frechette scored the only Milford touchdown on a lateral from Bob O'Neill after a kickoff from Fairfield, which had just scored a touch- down. The score remained six-up until the third quarter when the visitors tallied twice for a total of eighteen points. Thus Milford lost its first six-man football game, eighteen to six, but did not think of letting it remain on the records without attempting to redeem itself. A return match was arranged with Fairfield, and, after some extensive practice, the defeat was avenged to the tune of nineteen to nothing. ln this game both the defensive and offensive play showed tremendous improvement. The hrst score was the result of a nice pass from Ted Gumpert to Jack Farris, which enabled jack to race triumphantly over the last stripe. After some excellent defensive play, Steve Cuomo twice carried the ball around end after the team had moved within scoring distance. He also scored one of the conversions by way of a pass from Gumpert. So ended a short, but satisfactory, season of six- man football. B C. LOWER SCIIO0L SIX-MAN FO0TBALL The six-man football innovation was introduced to the Milford Lower School with considerable success. A rather late start in the season accounted for the fact that the Midgets had a light season, of three games. The flrst, with Fairfield, they took by a score of 39-O. The fast running attack of Pearson and Fegreus behind a stubborn line made this victory easily accomplished. Milford then saw a much more formidable foe in the Woodbridge Country Day School, at whose hands they received two 18-6 defeats. Although a scoreboard comparison between the two games would show no difference, Milford, after being scored upon at will in the first game, showed a much stiffer resistance in the second match and even threatened to turn the tide. However, Woodbridge's comparative giants of strength and build counterbalanced the Milford efforts, terminating the Midgets, schedule with one win and two losses. Robert Danahy captained the team and led the line in his position at center. The line bulwarks were supported by Bloom and Morris who alternated on left end, while Platt and Wulfeck shared right end. The backfield contingent was composed of Bernard Tommers. quarterback, and the halfbacks, Dick Fegreus and Richard Pearson. Earl Lambert and Edward Obert substituted in the line. The team was ably coached by Mr. Gill. K- I I5 W iw I QA? F BASKETBALL Answering to Coach Pepper's call, fifteen boys reported for basketball practice, only two of whom were members of the 1937 squad. As the following record will show, the team was of fine caliber. Led by Captain Jack Farris, who had been captain of his Washington, Indiana, High School five, the Milford quintet made a iine showing, winning the major part of its schedule. joe Zanolli, jake Kupec, Larry McNally, Bob Schotta, and Mike Pepper proved to be of great value to the team. The Milford basketball team opened its season on january 11th with an excellent effort against the Yale Freshmen. After the lead went from one team to the other, Yale's experience paved the way to Milford's initial defeat to the tune of 35-31. It should be noted that the Maroon and White, after only one day's practice, made a fine showing in holding the strong Yale quintet. Captain Farris, Joe Zanolli, and Larry McNally starred in the team's debut. On January 15th, the Milford team showed its ability by turning back the powerful Trinity Parish club 29-25. Staying in the winning column for a second time, the Maroon and White doggedly out-fought the Hillhouse High School of New Haven. Hillhouse did not give up without a desperate struggle, but towards the end, after the Farris- Zanolli combine started to click, the game was never in doubt, Milford winning 30-23. Continuing its winning streak, the Milfordians overpowered the New Haven junior College of Commerce 49-26. It was in this game that Captain Farris amassed a total of 27 points. A fourth opponent fell before Milford's quintet on Tuesday, january 25th, as the Bridgeport Trade School was defeated 45-26. Our four game winning streak was broken in a very close encounter against Cheshire Academy. After lending, up till the final half-minute, Milford was finally nosed out by Pierce's sensational field goal. Thus we lost our second game in six starts by the score of 18-17. In this game foul shots played an important part, for without them Cheshire might have lost. On February lst, Milford went to Bridgeport to tackle the junior College of Connecticut. Having little trouble, the Milfordians, on a scoring spree, were not content until the final score was 60-35. The next day, Milford went out to play its hardest game. Although Milford stayed up with the Suffield aggregation until the third period, they were finally overcome 32-22. Again it was the fine work of our captain that stood out. On February 9th, Coach Pepper's men annexed their second victory over the Junior College of Connecticut by the score of 59-27. Among the players that gained recognition in this game were Arnold Lowe and Frank Coppola. Again, on February 15th, the Milford team met the New Haven junior College of Commerce five. After fighting off the Junior College's third quarter rally, the Maroon and White chalked up another score in the winning column to th tune of 43-32. Our next game was rather a disappointment, for the Choate cagers downed our hard-fighting quintet 47-35. The contest was tight until the third frame when our opponents pulled away to a well-earned victory. Bob Schotta excelled in this game, totaling 10 points. For the second time the Bridgeport Trade School was the victim of the Milford five as they were downed 43-33. February 25th found Milford playing its last game away from home, and its second encounter with Trinity Parish. Avenging its former defeat, the New Haven basketeers subdued the Milfordians 41-31. The Milford quintet ended its basketball season at home by playing the Hopkins Grammar School of New Haven. Again in winning form, the Maroon and White easily trounced their opponents to the tune of 43-17. Getting off to a good start, Milford had no trouble in vanquishing the Hopkins five. On the whole, the team had a very successful season by winning nine out of fourteen encounters. Praise must be given to Coach Pepper, Captain Farris, and the rest of the squad for the splendid spirit shown throughout the season. The varsity lettermen included Captain Jack Farris, jake Kupec, Mic McNally, Mike Pepper, Bob Schotta, joe Zanotti, Bob Campbell, Frank Coppola, Don F ischbeck, Al Hirshberg, and Arnold Lowe. Compiling one of the best Milford Junior Varsity court records in some years, the 1937-38 basketball squad went through their schedule with five victories in eight starts. The jayvee outfit was matched against four outside teams in a two-game series with each: Fairfield Country Day, from whom they took both games, and Trinity Parish, Bridgeport, and the junior College of Commerce, teams in the same class, with whom they split. The Maroon and White's first encounter with the Trinity J. Vfs proved to be one of the most exciting games of the year. Going into the second overtime period, Bob Campbell sunk the deciding goal to win for the Milfordians 20-18. The next contest pitted the jayvees against the F airfleld aggregation. Getting away to an early lead, Milford had little trouble in winning 37-22. A nip-and-tuck scoring featured the first three frames of the Bridgeport Trade game. However, Milford broke away from the 17-17 deadlock to win the game 23-18. Fischbeck and Kelly made the bulk of the Maroon score and sank the deciding points in the last spurt. Two consecutive games were then played with the junior College of Commerce. The Milfordians took the first game with a 40-32 victory but lost the second as their opponents eked out a one-point win by a 15-16 score. This loss ended the Jayvee's winning streak at four games, but they shook off is effects by trouncing Fairfield 27-18. The Maroon and White junior Varsity wound up its season with two defeats. The first saw Bridgeport Trade take a 22-12 decision, while in the finale Milford found the Trinity opposition too stiff and was overcome 20-41. The Jayvees had a very fiuctuating enrollment, many players being called for varsity service. In the general roster Kelly and Vitale played at right forward position, Gannon and Huppuch figured as left forwards, Newell and Fischbeck alternated at jump position, and Campbell, Boyle, and Frechette were used as guards. Don Fischbeck, Milfordis tall center, contributed 44 points in the five games he played with the club, and Walt Kelly's shooting netted him 41 points and second honors for the season. M CD V cvg .. Q 'el ees. iul LOWER SClIO0L BASKETBALL The Lower School had a basketball squad which was the first of its class to represent Milford and one of which a Milfordian can be justly proud. The Midgets, a fighting team playing for the first time under the coaching reins of jerry Pepper, compiled a record of five victories against four defeats in the court season. On the opening engagement they met a Cheshire aggregation and trounced the Academy Juniors 29-21. Milford, slow to start, was slightly behind at the half, but a fresh attack in the second session, led by the points of Pearson and Danahy, pinned the victory. The Lower School quintet chalked up its second successive win by turning back Junior Trinity Parish 37-21. The Maroons kept the advantage throughout, largely due to the brilliant playing of Captain Pearson, who tallied 21 points. Milford was not troubled to annex its third straight win from a hapless Milford High Frosh five January 27 as the Midgets won the decision by a 26-232 score. The Juniors traveled to New Haven to take their first defeat in a return en- counter with the Trinity junior squad, 22-25. As indicated by the score, it was a close game and incurred a keen competition between the club outfitsg so two later games were scheduled between them. Next the Maroon and White played a two-game series with a strong Devon quintet and tasted the bitter pill of defeat in both contestsg the first on a foreign court 11-16, and the second on the home court, after a fiery last quarter, when the outsiders eked out a one-point victory. The juniors played hard and well in these matches but the Devon team proved too powerful. They took their fourth and last loss at the hands of Trinity to the tune of 17-22. Although the home team held the Parish to only two baskets in the second half, they could not buck the overwhelming difference in scores at the half. However, with three victories and four defeats the Midgets finally broke into their winning stride to reverse the tables on Trinity with one of their finest games of the year, downing a bewildered Parish outfit 18-27 and thereby dividing the four-game series. They culminated their season March 5th in a blaze of glory by dealing a second smashing defeat to a visiting Cheshire five with a score of 32-19. Dick Pearson sank 20 points in this game to climax his season. The lettermen were: Morris, Danahy, Fegreus, Pearson, Platt, Tommers, Hoff- man, Lambert, Obert, Wulfeck. Mr. jerry Pepper coached the juniors. Richard Pearson was captain, Macaluso was manager. Pearson led the individual scoring column by garnering 89 points in eight games and Danahy followed with 42 in nine games played. The Intra-mural Basketball Tournament This year after the varsity season, an intra-mural basketball tournament was staged in the remaining two weeks of the term. The teams were made up of the boys interested in basketball, varsity men and otherwise. Each team was given the name of some large university. There were five teams, each one captained by one of the starting five from the varsity. Zanollils team was Fordham, Farris's team was Yale, Schotta's team was Princeton, Kupec's team was Harvard, and McNally's team was Dartmouth. There was a schedule of about five games for each team, and throughout, each schedule was played off with interest and enthusiasm. As the playing progressed Yale and Harvard proved to be the best and evenest teams. The playoff game showed by the slightest margin that the Yale team was the winner of the tournament. The score of this game was 23-24. Throughout the tournament Kupec amassed the most number of points with a grand total of 76, Farris was second with 52, followed by Fischbeck with 49, Lowe with 44, and Hirshberg with 40.

L.. E, --Q. 5 af 2 y., if mfr? BASEBALL Shortly after the spring vacation one of the best baseball teams that has represented Milford took to the field under the direction of Coach jerry Pepper. The team was composed as practically all new men, Captain Johnny Gannon and Bruce Newell being the only returning members. The team shaped up with Bill Barnum and Bob Schotta doing the hurling, O'Hedy doing the catching, Bruce Newell, Mike Pepper, joe Zanolli, and Larry McNally holding up the infield, and Joe Boyle, Captain Gannon, and jake Kupec taking positions in the outfield. The other members of the squad were: Walt Reynolds, Arnold Lowe, Walt Kelly, Warren Terrell, and joe Cohen. After but two practice sessions the team encountered the Bridgeport Trade School squad in a game that went to the Maroon and White by the score of seven to three. Despite the fact that they had very little practice, the Milfordians made very few errors and did exceptionally well at the plate. The highlights of the game were the pitching of Barnum and Schotta and the hitting of Newell, Pepper, Gannon, and Zanolli. Barnum pitched six innings, struck out eight Tradesmen, and allowed only 'four hits. Schotta finished the game by striking out five men and allowing the opposition but one safety. On April 18, Milford traveled to New Haven and was defeated by the strong Yale Freshman club by the score of ten to five. Milford was weakened by the loss of catcher O'Hedyg a loss which necessitated taking Captain Gannon out of the outfield, thereby weakening that part of our defense. Yale's pitching staff was very effective, allowing only six hits. A second victory in three starts was posted for the Maroon varsity when they trounced the Saybrook College of Yale to the tune of ten to five. Bill Barnum went the distance for the winners, fanning seven Yale batters and allowing but four hits. Mike Pepper had a field day at the plate in hitting three singles and a triple for his four trips to bat. Milford had little trouble in establishing an early lead and keeping it. The next game was a three and a quarter hour slugfest against the Wesleyan Freshman ball club. After pounding out twenty-two hits, the Milfordians won twenty-five to seventeen. All was nip-and-tuck for the first four innings. Then in the next two frames, the Maroons collected fourteen runs to take a substantial lead. Bob Schotta, assigned the hurling duties, was relieved after trouble in the second inning by Barnum who finished the route. Pepper was again the strong man at the plate, hitting safely on each of his four times up. Playing a return match with the Bridgeport Trade School, the Maroons traveled to Bridgeport to chalk up their fourth win by beating the Trademen four to two. The Milford infield started to click in this game, for they executed two double plays. Zanolli and Newell were the big guns for the Milford squad in this game. On May fourteenth, the Milford team traveled to Wallingford, Conn., and defeated the Choate School by the score of nine to two. In chalking up their fifth win of the season, Milford took an early lead and kept increasing it until the end of the game. Mike Pepper made the first homerun of the season in this game. Warren Harding High School, of Bridgeport, invaded the Milford ball park on May eighteenth to be turned back eight to seven in a well played ball game. The Milford moundsmen were Schotta, who went the first five innings, and Barnum, who pulled a tie out of the fire and thereby chalked up his sixth win in as many starts. Zanolli showed his true worth in this game by garnering three safeties for four times at bat. The Milford varsity suffered its first setback on the home field at the hands of the Trinity College Freshmen on May twenty-first when they lost by the score of five to four. Although the Maroons outhit the Freshmen twelve to seven, they were unable to push the extra run across that would have tied the game. Zanolli was the powerhouse of the Milford batters when he hit a homerun, a triple, and a double in succession. At the time of this writing there is but one more game to be played. On Saturday, the twenty-seventh, the Milford varsity will play host to the Cheshire baseball team. During the season, the team won six games and lost only two. Credit should be given them for the spirit and ability they showed on the field. JUNIOR BASEBALL The Junior baseball team, composed of the Lower School boys, formed a diamond nine this spring which, although at this writing has seen two defeats, shows great promise for future varsity material. The Midgets' schedule is ex- pected to consist of at least six interclub games of which thus far two have been played. After but five days of practice, they traveled to Woodbridge on April 15th to take their first defeat at the hands of Woodbridge Country Day School 15-8. The Milfordians are very optimistic about the return game, however, for in their last four innings with Woodbridge they were able to find the pitcher for six of their total eight runs while Fegreus' mound work held the opposition to but one run. Bad luck accounted in large part for the reverse met on the Cheshire diamond as the home team won 17-8. Bob Danahy, the catcher, was hit during the first inning and had to be taken out, traveling with no substitutes, the Midgets were hard pressed for a replacement and resorted to the services of the manager, Eddy Obert. They could not, however, overcome the loss of their catcher and, after hanging on with a 5-5 tie to the sixth, they finally fell behind as rallies brought in 12 late-inning runs for the Roxburyians. Jack Platt was chosen captain after showing his calibre at shortstop in the initial engagement at Woodbridge. Richard Fegreus and Bernard Tommers alter- nated at first base and hurling assignments, with Robert Danahy doing the re- ceiving. Bill Morris and Dick Pearson covered the other two bases, and the out- field consisted of Joe Wulfeck, Burton Hoffman, and Vincent Macaluso. The squad was coached by Jerry Pepper, and Edward Obert held the managerial position. 55,1 , Qwd TENNis The tennis team, captained by Earl McMurray, had among its members Don Fischbeck, Al Hirshberg, Jack Huppuch, Stan Murphy, Fred Smoot, and joe Zanolli. Although eight matches had been scheduled, only three encounters were held. The first match was played against the junior College of Commerce. This match saw the Milfordians triumph to the tune of four to two. Zanolli and Huppuch were very effective as a doubles teamg winning their match 6-2, 6-2. In its next match, the Milford team was unable to cope with the experienced Cheshire Academy netmen and lost eight to one, Al Hirshberg being the only Milford winner. The last team match was held in Bridgeport when the squad lost to the Warren Harding High School aggregation by the score of four to one. Again it was Al Hirshberg that garnered the lone Milford tally. At the time of this writing, Milford 'is planning to send four of its men to the Yale Interscholastic Matches. Had it not been for the rainy weather, the team would have undoubtedly done better. However, the team should be praised for its fine spirit and cooperation. 2 . f qv' Ei ' f L L L- A L '. , ,ij L . 1 The badminton season swung under way about the same time as the basketball season. In order to choose a team, Coach Frank Doherty used a tournament in which the winners were the seeded players. Although Les Rome gained the number one posi- tion in this match, he was replaced in the middle of the season by Joe Cohen. The end of the season saw Ted Gumpert win a silver cup by Winning the final tournament. Other members of the squad were John Seybold, jack McLaughlin, Fred Smoot, and Bud Rosenfeld. Shortly after the initial practice session. the team met a strong opponent in the Monday Night Club. Outclassed by their experienced adversaries, Milford lost the match seven to two. The next match was a different story. Experienced by two weeks of practice, the team trounced a squad made up of the faculty members. The badminton team showed their improvement by holding the Monday Night Club to a three to three tie in a return match. On the whole, the season was very successful for the squad showed a vast improvement and an excellent spirit. CPI BADMINTON THE WILSON CLUB The Wilson and Gould Clubs, which derive their names from the Wilson and Gould cups, have had some keen competition in both foot- ball and basketball this year. A fine display of sportsmanship was prevalent in even the most trying clashes. The rivalry began with the first football contest, in which the Wilson Club was victorious. The opening kickoff by Fischbeck, of the Goulds, went to Cuomo, who in two plays raced the ball over for a score. After holding their opponents for the remainder of the period, the Goulds succeeded in scoring. The first half ended with the score six all. There was no score in the third quarter, for the field was dominated by neither team. In the fourth quarter Frechette succeeded in delivering a pass to Gumpert, who scored. Then after the kickoff O'Neill intercepted a pass that put the ball in a position which enabled Seybold to take it over in the next play. Frechette, Gumpert, and Seybold starred for Wilson, while Don Fischbeck did excellent offensive and defensive work for the losers. THE GOULD CLUB The rivalry continued into the basketball season. In both of two scheduled games the Wilson team emerged victorious. The first clash got off to a furious start with Farris and Zanolli sinking basket after basket for the Wilsons. The fast pace was tiring for the Goulds, who were behind 19-EJ at the half. The second half opened with Mike Pepper of the Goulcls making the first basket, but Zanolli and Farris got revenge by scoring again and again. In the third quarter the Gould team put on the pressure in order to lessen the lead, but the Wilson team succeeded in keeping ahead and at the hnish of the game the score was Wilson 433, Gould 25. The outstanding players were Zanolli and Farris from the Wilson ranks, and Pepper and Hirshberg for the Goulds. At the present time some softball games are scheduled, but these have not been played as yet. Let us hope that the spirit of good sportsmanship will prevail among the Wilson and the Gould Clubs for many years to come. 1 1! gg, ,,.wfPfmvvQ'f. 44 X aww: -nd.

On Saturday evening, November 20th, under the reflection of pale blue lights, a crowd gathered in the gymnasium to honor the success of the 1938 football teams. They enjoyed a dinner dance made possible by the Social Committee under the leadership of Earl McMurray. The whole gymnasium was decorated with college banners and red and black crepe paper. Hanging from the four huge lights were silver streamers which gave forth a very pleasing atmosphere. The music was supplied by Hal Nevins, one of the better known New Haven orchestras, and dancing lasted till twelve. After dinner all the tables were removed and chairs put in their places in order to seat the fifty-four couples as they witnessed the Academy Players' present- ation, 'tThe King's English, directed by Mr. Theodore Connett and Mr. Sidney Rosenbaum. The setting was on a tropical island which was ruled by two kings. One was a white man, an authority on the English language, the other was a native with cannibalistic traits. Earl McMurray took the part of Ripley O'Ran- nigan, the white king, and Robert O'Neill was the neighboring monarch. The leads were supported by Gerald Bloom who made the perfect female as O'Ran- nigan's daughter, and Louis Sebestyen, an excellent body-guard. Other principals were Lawrence Rome, a native butler, and Robert Campbell, Vincent Macaluso, john Seybold, Joseph Cohen and Sedgwick Huppuch were all castaways on the island. The play was climaxed by Ripley O'Rannigan choosing john Seybold as the perfect husband for his daughter. The play ended with the happy couple and the bride's father going to their native land. THE CHRISTMAS PARTY On the last Sunday before the Christmas vacation, a committee made up of members of the Grenfell Club sponsored the annual Christmas party. The affair was held in the library, which was decked with colors and decorations of the Christmas season. In one corner of the library was an evergreen tree, laden with all the trimmings. Since Santa Claus was too busy to come in person to the occasion, he sent Arnold Lowe to present the gifts. As his name was called, each guest came forward and received his gift, which he was obliged to open in front of the student body. Old Santa tried to give presents that were suitable to the boys, and he seemed to have all the students well lined up. At intervals during the party, the Glee Club, under Mr. Theodore Connett, sang Christmas carols. The party was made possible by Chairman Donald F ischbeck and his committee composed of Theodore Gumpert, William Barnum, Earl McMurray, Fred Smoot, Arnold Lowe, and Allan Hirshberg. THE EVENING OF MARCH 12 Three one-act plays by the Academy Players of the school and a group of songs by the Glee Club were presented March 12th at the Plymouth Playhouse to an invited audience which filled the theatre. The program began with 'AA Natural Conclusion, a one-act play by Charles O'Brien Kennedy. Appearing in this were Thomas Madigan, Earl McMurray, john Seybold, and Sedgwick Huppuch. A skit by Ray E. Holcombe entitled A Dull Evening followed with Robert Campbell and Louis Seybestyen as the actors. The Glee Club then sang a number of songs, concluding with the Alma Mater, the words of which were written by a last year's student, Clarke Stowe. As a guest, one of the members of last year's Glee Club sang a solo, we all should remember Martin jenter who is in college the president of the singing organization. Members of the Glee Club appearing were as follows: Harold Atteridge, Edgar Pearson, Lawrence Rome, Robert Campbell tPresidentJ, Anthony Vitale, john Farris, Theodore Gumpert, Robert O'Neill, William Barnum, Russell Pope, Paul Terranova. In closing, the last play to be presented was The Brink of Silence, by Esther Galbraith. In this production Arnold Lowe, Joseph Cohen, Bob O'Neill, and Vincent Macaluso were starred. These plays were directed by Mr. Theodore Connett and Mr. Sidney Rosenbaum of the school faculty with Mr. Francis Doherty, also of the faculty, assisting. Mr. Connett also directed the Glee Club, and the accompanist was Mrs. Gill. THE FORUM The primary purpose of the forum is to introduce a wider knowledge of current problems-national and international-to the student body. The Forum, held every Friday afternoon in the library, consists of the mem- bers of the school. The Forum was introduced to the school in 1933 when it was formed as a club with a membership of thirteen students under the able direction of Dr. Shafer, Mr. Pearson, and Mr. Harris Rosenbaum. This club met bi-weekly on Tuesday nights when many interesting discussions were held on world affairs. The followinggyears saw the increasing popularity of the Forum Club grow until Dr. Shafer changed it into a school activity, so that the whole school Could have the benefit Of hearing the prominent Speakers lecture On current affairs. After the lecture, a general discussion is held so that the students may be able to ask questions of the speaker. It is believed that the knowledge gained at these weekly Forums is of per- manent value to the student body. Much appreciation is expressed for the valuable experience gained by these meetings scheduled as follows: .
