Have we at last assumed the important position in scholastic life or are we merely Juniors with a few more points? VVith new friends, -new teachers. new rooms, we gradually lit ourselves into this mold of seniority. VVith varying degrees of determination we set about the tasks at hand. There is the first call for football candidates. Under the skilled tutelage of Coach Bowen. another crack team develops. Smashing line bucks, long spiraling passes. loose-hipped sprints through a broken field. well illustrate the versatility of our well-oiled football machine, which ultimately annexes its second consecutive state title. Football, as usual, predominatcs but the other fall sports make themselves heard over the roars of the pigskin devotees. Tennis finds Milo Peck its Senior champion. An embryonic Jones. Palmieri. takes home the coveted golf title. A fine athletic year is tlms under way. Politics cuts a wide swath in school activities. Wlith December class elections arrive. Again the political infiuence pervades the school. As a rc- sult Lambert Irons assumes the ofhce of Presidentg Georgia Holabird, Vice-presi- dent: Ruth Kimberley, Secretary: Harry Dickinson. Treasurer: Eugene Coyle, Class Day chairman: Lillian Mermin, Class Motto chairman: and Donald Campbell. Class Gift chairman. The Christmas holidays arrive. Wfith Yuletide festivities still fresh in our minds. school presents a drab front. but back we return to the long trek. Athletics again take the center of the stage. A great basketball season is looked for. There is every reason to hope that the pin- nacle of success is at hand: a great coach, promising material. and Bobinski rolling 'em in as never before. That pinnacle, the championship, is snatched from us even on the moment of reaching it. Rho Alpha Gamma offers a cup to the winner of the hiter-fraternity Basketball League, which A. D. S. promptly takes over. The champion Hillhouse swimming team. although not the favorites, retain their honors in the Hnal Tri-meet. That sterling natator, Johnson. duplicates his extraordinary feats of the preceding year. Then, like the sun through the clouds. comes Happy Days . That highlight of every year presents scintillating entertainment. A dazzling stage. pleasing songs, amusing skits contribute to make this Happy Days the criterion of better high school presentations. Once more the track team upholds our athletic standards. March IS sees a Tuttle-advised group win the lnterscholastics. VVrestling and hockey. each with its share of hard fought battles, close successful seasons. The winter of our last year is history. The balmy days of spring are anticipated. The balminess fails to materialize, for March Zlst is a day decidedly reminiscent of some nights in mid-January. Graduation speakers are chosen: Wfaldo Beach, Lillian Plotkin, Margaret VVeigle, and Norton Levine. Marjorie Resnikotf, Anthony Paolilla and Pearl Myland find their places as class historians. For the benefit of the Milk Fund Happy Days is repeated. A fine turnout for First prac- tice bolsters the hopes for a championship baseball club. An oratorio is held at Troup, and the Senior Chorus Hoods the auditorium of that institution with its melodious tones. Time is slipping away. College-Board preparation is in full stride. ln the latter part of April the Glraui appears. True to the admirable precedent which the Glcfam has set. the issue is clearly of the first water as a school publication, and is put out under the editorship of VValdo Beach, with Pearl Myland as associate editor. and Donald Campbell as assistant. Then. although we have been conscious of its imminence for some time, the fate- ful moment is upon us. Shortly, we must sever definitely, the ties of sentiment. loyalty, and comradeship. which have ever characterized our associations with Hill- house. The soberness of the thought is momentarily thrust aside under the gayety and excitement of the great event, Graduation. ' JOHN WVELSH 20

' fi ff. 5 .iluninr igintnry How proud we felt as we completed our first day in the morning session and left the portals of New Haven High School followed by the envious glances of the lower classmen, Then came the business of settling down. Many of us were already busy with the iNriters' Club. Orchestra, and Band. Berman. Beach. Tator. Evans, and McNerney acquitted themselves as embryonic journalists to the extent of being taken on the Sentinel Editorial Board. Paul Massey and Johnnie Urbanski, already showed high promise on the foot- ball field. and others. with great possibilities. were daily rubbing their noses in the nmd. Soccer burst into the limelight with Shia and Rohinsky showing skillful feet. Sebastiani and Abbatello were showing their prowess on the cross country team. jackie Solomon, Clarence Ryan, spent their idle moments in wrestling. while Milo Peck and Bud Baker engaged in tennis. Ray Miller and lz Donner represented us on the fencing team, and Esther Lopatin was declared the winner of the girls' fall tennis tournament. Along rolled November, and with it. the first meeting of the York Square Players. Their baud was swelled by Norty Levine, Norm Botwinik. Lil Plotkin, Beatrice Ladin, Lambert lrons, Ed McGarry, Pearl Myland. and Viv Berman. December found us a well organized class. and we were already convinced that we were the greatest class ever to enter New Haven High School. The winter sports found many staunch supporters. Bobinski, Reilly, Iwanski. Glover. and Shia were playing superb basketball. Bob johnson, Lee, Kebabian, and Rogoff were acquitting themselves magnificently in the water. On the hock- ey team. Hecky Tweed, Moon Mullen. Rennicke, Simpson, and Haesche were per- forming in great style. Christmas came slowly and passed quickly. The New Year brought with it many resolutions, which, as usual, proved to be very fragile. XVith March came the presentation of Happy Days. The show was a howling success. and Lester Aaronson and Rose Kramer were acclaimed with great applause. Jackie Solomon was elected to the wrestling captaincy after a most successful sea- son. Our hoopsters defeated Bristol in the final game of the Yale Tournament to become state and triangular champions. At about this time the Smiiinvl staff for the coming year was appointed. Lam- bert lrons was appointed chairman: Herb Lipofsky and Lillian Mermin, assistant editors: Harvey Edlin. sports editor: Ed Mcfiarry. assignment editor: Laura Stirling, competition oliicial. The business board stalif included Bob Mullen, Mil- dred Kane. Phil Paolella, Abe Rotman, and Nancy Hogarth. Clarence was presented by the York Square Players. .Tack Steed, Eleanor VValders. Norman Botwinik. Norton Levine, and Lillian Plotkin played their parts to perfection. Time raced on: Coach Bowen issued his call for baseball candidates. Dickinson. and Fleming showed early promise, which later earned them places on the team. Wfith the GIFUIII elections five juniors. VValdo Beach, Pearl llflyland, Donald Campbell, Lambert Irons, and Helen Jones won their places on the editorial board. The art department included Renee Graves. Daniel Healy. Beatrice Ladin and Helene Missirian. and six more iuniors. James Brown. Charles Horn, George Hawley, Peter Terenzio. Albert Cohen and Louis Kraft, represented us on the busi- ness board. In the Columbia Scholastic Press Association competition, the 1932 edition of the Gleam was awarded first place. ' VVith May came the election of our class officers. The result was that we en- trusted ourselves to Eddie Bobinski, Georgia Holabird, Ruth Kimberly, and Harry Dickinson. ' The class book elections found Pearl Myland editor-in-chief and Ray York busi- ness manager. June arrived, and we had completed another cycle in our race through New Haven High School. - Q 19 SEYMOUR KLEBANOFF A 5 5 .4

This news l am forwarding so that you may get in touch with our classmates and invite them on your round-the-world yachting cruise. lack Field, VValdo Beach, and Charlie Maillard- Beau Brummels of high school days-are now embittered bachelors. Recently in an Anti-lNoman's Rights campaign they hired a hall to combat this menace. Scarcely had Charlie proclaimed before a packed house, Frailty, thy name is W'oman, when Helen Tolman.

Saul Jacobson has resigned his position as Soapbox Orator to take over a po- sition in the Pudclicombe cold cream concern.

Jim Cooney and Bud Baker dramatically told of the cruelties indicted upon the men workers by Nancy Hogarth and Laura Stirl- ing, factory foremen.
