COPYRIGHT 1936, Lawrence J. Rifkind, Editor — Salvatore J. Tasca, Business Manager . THE ’TMCTy-SIX VCLUME VIII ElJLEEEEy WH4LER PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF BULKELEY SCHOOL NEW LONDON CONNECTICUT THEME The modern trend is finding expression through the medium of simplicity which has reflected itself in the many phases of our industrial activity as well as everyday life. Streamlining is its pseudo-name which happens to be an art of simplicity represented through a medium of lines, and other similar manifestations. It does away with many of the ornate aspects of art and preserves only the absolutely necessary features of simplicity in the field of industry or in the practical arts. Realizing the beauty of this art which is pronouncedly manifesting itself everywhere about us we have incorporated its many pleasant features as a background in the compilation of our nineteen hundred and thirty-six edition of “The Whaler.” Our purpose has been not only to combine the modern trend of art in our book but also to catalogue with it the many phases of school life and its many activities. To be consistent with our theme we have felt it to be most appropriate to reduce all recording of our different activities down to a minimum. Nevertheless, we sincerely believe that our effort has been most unbiased, worthwhile, and complete in every respect.

SHURTS TRUSTEES EARLr msTCcy cr BELEELEr JCECCE The founder of this school was Leonard Hallam Bulkeley, a merchant of modest pretensions, whose place of business was very near the school which now bears his name. He was born December 22, 1799 and he died December 19, 1849. He left an estate valued at something less than §25,000 to found a secondary school which should be free to the boys of New London. In his will he provided that the funds should be kept intact until the trustees, who were named in the will, would decide that they were justified in the erection of the school. The board of trustees decided in the year 1870 that the estate had increased enough, in its careful management, to allow operations to begin. Accordingly, plans were secured from the famous architect, Mr. Eidlitz, and then the city presented a plot as a site. The main study-hall provided for forty-two boys. The school was opened in September, 1873 with Eugene B. Collester as principal, who had graduated from Amherst College in the preceding June. Mr. Collester resigned in 1880 and retired to Minnesota. The next principal was Ely R. Hall of the class of 1872 of Yale University, previously a teacher in Hopkins Grammar School. Mr. Hall remained in charge of the school until 1888 when he moved to Woodstock. Connecticut, to become the principal of the academy of that city until his death in 1920. The conduct of the school was then placed under Mr. Towne who presided until 1922. Bulkeley School discontinued the practice of a four-year curriculum for a three-year course in 1884. However, in 1910 the school readopted its original plan. Bulkeley School is the successor of the New London Grammar School which was founded in 1713, and maintained jointly by the town and the income of a fund established by Robert Bartlett. Nathan Hale was one of the masters of this school which was in 1873 discontinued in favor of Bulkeley. The legacy of this school was increased by various gifts and donations, notably from Asa Otis, Henry P. Haven, and George F. Tinker. FREDERICK W.

(40) ci 4is msTCcy As an entering class, back in the fall of 1932, we were neither more nor less than the usual timid and unsophisticated souls who venture on the stormy seas of high school life. It did not take us long to become acquainted with the traditions and customs of Bulkeley. School spirit soon manifested itself in our class by the appearance of several freshmen in the fields of athletics. Our contribution to the Potpourri, “The Dear Departed,” coached by Mr. Flood Reed, won first prize. James Santangello piloted us through our hazy Freshman year. In the fall of ’33 most of us returned as Sophomores. We felt the honor and pride which had been entrusted in our class and that we should capture as many honors as possible. Pearson and Reidy starred on the track. Some of us spurred up enough courage to go to the Christmas Dance. James Santangello was again chosen president. With few exceptions, we started our Junior year triumphantly. John Gorman was elected president, Ernie Hamilton, Bob Reidy, and Bill Donovan made the varsity football team. Donovan was selected All-Conference center. We had many of our classmates on the Conference winning track team which was the last track team to be coached by Mr. Hamlen. The “Prom” was a social success. Time has flown and we are Seniors. Ernie Hamilton is president. He is at the helm during our final and most important year at “dear old Bulkeley.” With the above record behind us and the whole world ahead of us, we, the class of 1936, cannot help making names for ourselves; some in the business world, others in the professions, and still others in science. We all have the greatest opportunities ever offered to young men going to college or into the world. It is with regret that we leave Bulkeley, whose friendly stone walls have sheltered us during four of the happiest years of our lives. But regret is not alone in our hearts; there is hope, ambition—ambition to do right as we have been taught to regard it. To the under classmen we hand the torch and bid them to carry it high. Farewell, Bulkeley. WHALER M« (41) CLASS PLCPUCCy In 1980, I decided to return to New London and look up my Bulkeley classmates of many years ago. I could not help but wonder what tricks the Fates had played upon my former classmates. As I stepped off the train. Porters Schaperow and Impellitteri started a brawl because both of them wanted to carry my baps. S. Greene, president of the Greene Hack Co., informed me that one of the cabs of his five cab fleet was at my disposal. Walking up Fifth Avenue (formerly State St.), I was hailed by a short stocky man. who was being followed by what seemed to be a cosmetic salesman. Turning around, I found that all the noise was coming from Glater, who was merely trying to sell me a copy of “The Daily Herald”, one of the many publications of the Rif-klnd Publishing House. Upon closer inspection, I found the supposed pursuer to be none other than Heyman, who was still serving his apprenticeship as a newspaper salesman. After witnessing these sights, I decided to continue on my way. Proceeding up the street, I noticed D’Elia’s Tonsorial Parlor. “Perrino” was being assisted by his good man Friday, Scanlon. Agrin was waiting for his monthly shave, while Affeldt came in to read “Arina virumque cano,” a new serial written by Higgins. Next door was a pawn-shop owned and operated by Kushner and Hendel. The Plant Building had been converted into Reidy’s Beer Garden. (“Snag” was behind the bar singing “There’s a Tavern in the Town.”) I went in and started a conversation with him. but we were interrupted by the appearance of the Salvation Army Band consisting of Breed. Rakosky, Dickson. Hartman. Sheriff and Boguslofskv. After they had finished playing a number, Gorman gave a lengthy talk on the vices of liquor. However. Leary and Fadden, who were drinking beer in the garden, became angry and chased the band away. Reidy told me that the tavern across the street, which was operated by Piscatello and DeGange. was going to file bankruptcy A Friday night Dancing Club was being operated by Wood. I noticed on the billboard the Jenkins, New London’s basest bass would entertain with vocal solos. Privates Sandgren and Thorn walked by with their superior officers. Top Sargents Cramer and Bill Hamilton. Perched on the steps of the Municipal Building was Worobey, who was telling a few unemployed men about the benefits of the Ten Year Plan. At Kennedy’s Hotel I found Lynick, Losacono, and Eggleston engaged in a game of strip poker. Bellhop Smith took my bags up to the “best room in the house”, which proved to be a dingy cubby-hole, with Louis XIV furniture that had turned white with mildew. Taylor, under a very strong influence of liquor, came in and became very obnoxious. It was necessary for Officers Barber and Ernie Hamilton to take him away. Dicero brought me a telegram and threatened violence when I refused to give him a pourboire. I inspected the register at the desk and found that Shyster-at-large Hollandersky also resided at the hotel. I went to my room, lest I meet him. In my room, I picked up the “Daily Herald” to read what was going on in town. On the front page was a picture of Pearson and a story of how he had set a new record, running from the steps of W. M. I. to the depo't when the headmaster appeared. Starr and Scott had been elected as members of the Waterford governing Council. Lawrence had been arrested for window-peeping at Connecticut College. Testagrossa had set a new typing record. “Dr. Ganey makes tenth patient tenth victim”, appeared in streaming headlines. Being very restless. I took the elevator, operated by Barry, down and as I alighted, I saw Judge Sulman between detectives Dickinson and Tasca. Upon inquiring. I learned that the officials were taking no chances of having the judge harmed during the trial of “Toots” Sullivan. Donovan, the new Fitch coach, was engaged in conversation with the great aviator. Gilmartin. As I walked on to Main Street. I learned that Momm operated a photographic studio and Moran had opened up a five and ten cent store to compete with Wool-worth’s. Summerscales Bros, were giving the A P stiff competition. Their clerks. McGugan. Donatello and Stanton, were refusing to give service to Mayor Langdon and his stooge, Messer. The mayor used very strong language in threatening the proprietors. Zuckerman was still running around trying to sell five and ten cent insurance policies to Redford and Ruddy. Lathrop. and Bishop were in the yacht business and were fairly successful. Going down Green St., I went into Ballassi’s Ice Cream Edifice. Across the street was Ealahan’s Electric Shop and Angelopoulous’ Tavern with Annus as bar tender. Dube was giving the latest gossip to Frye. Going into Messina’s Rat House. I saw “Love’s of a Fool, starring Dick Greene and Jack Xatwig. Parker directed a “rag-time band that played during the vaudeville acts featuring clowns Paige and Newbury. Returning to the hotel lobby. I heard a terrific racket. Looking around. I found that it was only the radio program sponsored by the Brouwer, Belbruno, and Beckwith Co., dealers in antiques, featuring the two crooners, Buxton and Pope. Burdick was the announcer. WHALER ltt 4 A A A A A. A A (42) AFFELDT. HENRY General Hen” Hi-Y 4. Hailing from Fitch High from across the Thames River during his senior year, to most of us he is an unknown quantity. He must be a believer in the laissez-faire philosophy of life as he is not of the disturbing type and minds his own business. AGRIN. ALFRED Agraan Classical Assistant Football Manager 2; Class Sports 3, 4; Hi-Y 1, 3; Potpourri 2; Literary Editor Whaler 4. Agraan” is a breezy young chap from Thames Street, always presenting a neat appearance. It is said that he keeps well posted on what the debonair weais. We often wonder if he is a cynic and a woman hater. Still he is faithful to his duties. ANGELOPOULOS, JOHN Angie” Classical Class Football 1; Class Basketball 2, 3, 4. As another member of one of the greatest and most famous graduating class to date Angie” has boosted our standing in all departments. His pessimistic manner is the spark necessary to bring to h'm the most satisfying results. He is blessed with the happy faculty of doing many things well. ARMUS. HENRY Hen- Commercial Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Track 1, 2, 3, 4; Varsity Club 2, 3. 4. Although Hen” is athletically inclined he takes his school work seriously (which is a wise thing to do.) He is especially fond of Economics and it is our bet that some day he will be an economist in more ways than one. WHALER (43) BALLASSI, GREGORY “Greek Classical Varsity Basketball 2, 3, 4; Class Baseball 1; Class Basketball 1. “Greek” is a star and great lover of basketball. However he was so small that at first he could not make the varsity team. His actions speak louder than words. A laugh in every move. BARBER. ROBERT “Bob” Classical Football 2, 3; English Composition Medal 2; State Tercentenary Essay 3; Mathematics prize 3; Bank 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Serenaders 3; Class Baseball 1, 2; Swimming 4. “Bob’s” meat seems to be English composition. When the “Bengal News” was established he was appointed to edit the paper. He is also quite a musician. It is only natural that he is likely to succeed. He is a fluent user of the King’s English. As editor of the “Bengal News” his work speaks for itself. BARRY, DUNCAN “I)unc” Commercial Class Basketball 2. 3; Hi-Y 1. “Dune” hasn’t taken an active membership in any of the school’s activity. Yet he is known as an earnest student and possesses a quality of loyalty that we all desire. He is of a quiet nature. Still waters run deep. BECKWITH, GORDON “Becky” Classical Tennis 2, 3, 4; Capt. 4; Varsity Club 2, 3, 4; Hockey 3, 4. Vines or Tilden have nothing on “Becky” when it comes to handling a racquet. Besides from being conference champ for two years, he lead his team to a conference victory. What he lacks in size he makes up in speed. WIIALEIl ‘U (44) BELBRUNO, JOSEPH “Joe Classical Whaler Assistant 3; Biographical Editor 4; Potpourri 1; Track 1, 2; Prom Committee 4; Hi-Y Club 1, 4; Class Baseball 3, 4; Class Basketball 2, 3, 4. “Joe” is one of our jolliest Seniors. He is full of eheerfullness snd pood humor. All he has accomplished was by the dint of conscientious labor. “Joe” is a brilliant student who has made pood with a venpeance. BIRCH ALL, WILLIAM “Birch” Commercial Class Baseball 1. “Birch” is a greater admirer of the great American game of baseball, and some day, he may be an umpire in one of the Major Leagues. He is a handy man at first base and although not a varsity man, is worthy of praise. BISHOP, MATHIAS “Matt” Classical Football 2, 3, 4; Track 1, 2, 3, 4; Cross Country 1; Varsity Club 3, 4; Hi-Y Club 3, 4; Class Football 1. “Matt” is one of our fine athletes having been classed as an outstanding end in the conference. He is also a handy man on the track. He is a good mixer and a friend to all who know him. His popularity will live on forever. BOGUSLOFSKY, MAX “Bogus Classical Potpourri 2, 3, 4; Junior English prize 3; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y Club 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3; “Nathan Hale” play; Director of “Tom Sawyer”. “Bogus” is one of the outstanding actors and musicians in his class. His scholastic accomplishments have not detracted in the least from his varied program of activities. WIIAEEII (45) ■A. BREED, NORMAN General Norm” Bank 3, 4; Orchestra 4. “Norm” transferred from Fitch in his Junior year. Immediately, due to his ability as a piccolo player, he acquired the monopoly of being Mr. Pierce’s “right hand man”. He is now star piccolo player of our band. BROUWER, GERALD “Dutch General Swimming Team 3, 4; Varsity Club 3, 4; Cross Country 2, 3, 4; Track 2; Hockey 2. “Dutch” is seen every fall jogging over the cross country course and has been a faithful member of that organization for the past three seasons. His pleasant disposition has made for him many friends. BURDICK, RUTHERFORD “Duke” Classical “Duke” was one of “36’s” representatives at the C. M. T. C. He has sn unsolvable character, and whenever approaching him, be on the alert, for he may pull anything on you, from a white mouse to a door-nail. He is recognized as an outstanding authority on Indian life. BUXTON, EDWARD “Ted” Classical Track 2, 3, 4; Football 3, 4; Class Basketball 2, 3; Varsity Club 3, 4. We first began to take notice of “Ted” during our Junior year when he insisted on winning races in the half-mile, for our track team. “Ted” is interested in all athletics, and shows natural ability in all forms of sport. WHALER MB (46) CRAMER, HAROLD “Squish ’ Classical Biology Club 3, 4; Biology Exhibition Prize; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 1; President of Biology Club 4. Whenever a sneeze with a long drawn out squeal at the end is heard you may be sure that “Squish” is somewhere around. As a biologist and movie promoter he is a genius. DeGANGE. ANTHONY “Tony” Commercial Class Baseball 2, 3, 4; Class Basketball 2, 3, 4. The coaches have not been cognizant of “Tony's” worth as an athlete. Yet, those that have seen him in action, whether in basketball or baseball, have noticed him to be a player of noteworthy calibre. DELIA, PIERINO FRANCIS “Pete” Classical Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Serenaders 1, 2, 3, 4. Did “Pete” ever try to chisel or borrow anything from you? If he didn’t you’re an exception to the rule. However, he possesses excellent talent as a trumpet player and we all feel that “Pete” will be a famous musician with Ben Bernie some day. DICERO, JOSEPH “Joe” Commercial “Joe” was a transfer from our rival school, Windham, last year. Already we have noticed in him a sense of humor and a determination to some day be an accountant. Although his transfer was our gain, it must have been Windham’s loss. Between financial and study worries, “Joe” is kept pretty busy. WHALER (47) A A A A A A A. DICKINSON, DONALD Dick Classical Manager Basketball 4; Asst. Manager 2, 3; Class Basketball 3; Varsity Club 4; Hi-Y 4; Spring Hop Committee 4. “Dick” is one of those fellows who firmly believes that “a sense of humor is the sugar that takes the bitterness out of life”.

As a singer and a trumpet player, he has been a great asset in Pot-pourri performances and Mr. Pierce’s “All state Band”. As a trackman he may someday represent the “Y” in the 1968 Olympics. DONATELLO, NICHOLAS “Nick” General Cross Country 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Baseball 2, 3, 4; Class Basketball 2, 3, 4; Track 1. Wherever or whenever we hear “Nick’s” name in the years to come, we shall instantly recall his pair of flashing legs and his nonchalant grin, as he trots over the cross country course. “Nick” has made many friends among the student body. DONOVAN. WILLIAM “Bill” Classical Football 2, 3; Co-captain Football 4; Varsity Club 2, 3, 4; Class Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Basketball 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y Club 2, 3. “Bill” has distinguished himself in football and has been chosen as conference center for the second year and also was elected second string center on the all-state team.

EALAHAN, THOMAS JAMES, JR. “Tom” General Football 2, 3, 4. “Tom” can be seen each fall working on the gridiron, where he has stuck to the squad for three years. His quietness and sincereness have made him a friend to all. He is frequently seen speeding towards Lower Boulevard. We wonder why? “Tom” is always willing to do any student a good deed. He has our best of wishes for success. EGGLESTON, ARTHUR “Eggy” Classical League of Nations Prize 3; Biology Club 3, 4; Chairman Stamp Club 2; Hi-Y 3. Cast your eye on the great radical and philosopher of our class. If there is at any time a doubt in your mind concerning any historical movement, you will b2 sure to be profitably rewarded by seeking “Eggy”. Bar-num and Bailey had nothing on Cramer and Eggleston as show producers. The only thing they lack is a Jenny Lind. FADDEN, KENNETH “Gink” Classical Football 3; Basketball 3, 4; Class Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Basketball 1, 2; Hi-Y Club 1, 2, 3, 4. Some call him “Gink”, but to us he’s just a gigilo. “Gink” is steadily rising to stardom in basketball. He is noted for his classroom humor that amuses everyone. Is his theme song going to be “California Here I Come”? WHALER u .a- .a a. (49) FRYE, LESTER Commercial “Less” Class Basketball 3, 4; Track 3. Despite the fact that “Less” lives near Fitch High School, he has chosen to attend Bulkeley, regardless of the distance. Besides, he has hardly missed a day or been late for a school session. To some he is a comedian and to others a mystery. GANEY, JOSEPH Classical “Joe” Football 3, 4; Varsity Club 3, 4; Band 1, 2; Swimming 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee; Senior Prom Committee. “Joe” has been interested in school organizations socially and athletically.

GILMARTIN, JAMES (ieneral “Jimmy” Hi-Y Club 1, 4. “Jimmy” is one of those quiet fellows who goes about minding their own business. He is a plugger and has achieved a great deal during his stay at Bulkeley School. As an aviation enthusiast we would not be surprised to see him shatter many records. GLATER, IRVING ‘Irv Classical Intramural Basketball 2; Glee Club 3, 4; Hi-Y Cluo 2, 3, 4. “Irv” has a great mind for business. He is especially interested in money matters.

Dick” General Football 3, 4; Potpourri 2, 3; Hi-Y Club 2, 3; Secretary of Hi-Y 3; League of Nations Prize 3; Swimming 3; Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4; Varsity Club 4. Meet the Barrymore of the class. “Dick” has made a name for himself by proving his ability in dramatics. He made his great debut in the “Red Mill” during our Junior year. Some day he may play one of the leading roles in a Max Reinhardt production. GREENE, SEVILLE “Sev” General “Greene” is one of our most modest and quiet members of the class of 1936. Since he is occupied with many business responsibilities after school hours we have seen very little of him. He is a most willing and energetic worker who someday should give a splendid account of himself. His reticence is depriving our fair sex of a real break. HAM. RAYMOND “Ray” Commercial Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4. “Ray” is noted throughout the conference for his pitching ability. Who can forget his twelve to two victory over Stonington? We expect to hear a great deal about him in the future. Here’s to a “lucky strike”. His spare moments are spent guiding our Bulkeley seniors to the Capitol’s choice seats. “Ray” is one of the most popular members of this year's senior class. He is mild in manner and most polite to all. (51) WHALER HAMILTON, ERNEST “Ernie” Classical Baseball 1, 2; Football 1, 2. 3; Co-captain 4; Class Basketball 2, 3; Class Vice President 4; Vais ty Club 2, 3, 4; Prom Committee 4. “Ernie” as class president has assumed the responsibilities of leading the Seniors through their f.nal year at Bulkeley. He goes about his studies quietly and studiously not mingling very frequently with the frivolous pastimes of life. HAMILTON, WILLIAM T. Classical “Bill” Hi-Y 2, 3; Interclass Basketball 2, 3. Where “Bill” goes or what he does are not known. However, if one were to follow’ him as he rides sway in a mysterious bakery car every day after school, they w’ould discover the secret. We understand he is a regular Fred Astaire on the ballroom floor. His pleasant manner has won him a host of friends. H A R RINGTON, V IN CEN T Classical Vin” Geomerty prize 2. “Vin” achieved fame as a mathematician, by winning the geometry prize. “Vin” has a quiet manner and a spirit of optimism. He is a hard worker and never says very much but when he does voice his opinion, he has the situation well in hand. His capacity as a student is infinite. Often he has given our classmates a helping hand in trying to solve our unknowns. HARTMAN, ELLIS “Bud” Classical Football 2, 3, 4; Varsity Club 3, 4; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Serenaders 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Track 2. As a musician “Bud” is the most talented saxophone player Bulkeley has ever produced. Athletically, he is re-nowned for his gridiron exploits. While at Bulkeley he has made many friends. He is a regular “fellow” and has made good in all that he has undertaken. He is always immaculate in dross and pleasant in manner. WHALER ’JIB HARVEY, WILLIAM “Bill- Commercial No one knows what “Bill's” aim is in life, but we feel that he has something: in mind wh’ch he does not disclose to everyone he meets. “Bill” believes that many are called but few are chosen. Nothin? bothers him so he should live to ripe old age. HAVENS. WILLIAM M. “Billy” Commercial “Blly” is an unknown in our midst. He came to Bulk-eley during his Sophomore year. Mr. Orcutt’s English class prospered because of his presence after school. In class he is conspicuous because of his s lence. Some clay he may achieve fame in the metaphysical sciences. HENDEL, STANLEY “Stan” Classical Whaler Assistant 3; Circulating Manager 4; Class Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Football 1; Bowling 3, 4; Class Bowling 1, 2. On the diamond and in the bowling alley “Stan” has aided in a number of victories for his team. He is circulation manager of the “Whaler” and is responsible to a large degree for its wide distribution. “Stan” gets the maximum of enjoyment out of life and all of its many ways with the minimum amount of work. He has made many sincere friends and we predict a splendid future for him. HEYMAN, ROLAND “Rol” Classical Glee Club 3; Hi-Y 2, 3; Whaler Assistant 3; Literary Editor 4. Meet Bulkeley’s sweetest child. “Rol’s” charm and eloquence in speech has often been the cause of envy among his feilow students. He has never missed any of the social functions at W. M. I. Just see him acting once and you will be surprised, wherever he goes, he will make good. WHALER :u� (53) A. A A A A A A HIGGINS, WALDSON THOMAS Classical “YVarny Hi-Y 3, 4; Treasurer Hi-Y 3; Prom 3. “Warny” is an ardent Hi-Y supporter. His remarks have often been the cause of boisterous laughter in the classroom. We predict that some day he will achieve lame as a Ward 5 politician. His favorite pastime is to occupy a stool at the Harbor Soda Shoppe where he swaps yarns with the elite. The future should bring glad tidings of his success. HOLLANDERSKY, GILBERT “Gil” Classical Basketball 3; Tennis 3, 4; Varsity Club 3, 4; Hi-Y 1; Bowling 2; Class Basketball 1, 4. “Gil” may be seen at Calkins park, where he swings a mean tennis racquet. He is regarded as one of the best tennis men in the conference, and this year he undertook the managership in addition to his playing responsibilities. He has well defined abilities as a scholar and should succeed. IMPELLITTERI, ANTHONY “Ninny” Classical Class Baseball 1, 3; Class Football 1; Varsity Baseball 2, 4. “Ninny” is one of the best natured fellows in the senior class. His jocular sayings have pulled him through many a tough spot. He is a fine baseball player, being on the varsity team as well as other teams. He is not very strong for the fair sex. His scholastic ability has made him the envy of many of his associates. JENKINS, ARTHUR “Art” General Hi-Y 3, 4; Class Basketball 2, 3. “Art” is one of our students who has aided his class in many a basketball victory. His preparedness when topping a test is astonishing even though he says he never studied for it. He seems always to be figuring out weighty problems. Who knows but what we may have an Einstein in our midst. WHALER : ; AAA (54) KASHANSKI, NIKAL “Nick Commercial Sophomore Bookkeeping Prize; Class Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Basketball 2, 3. “Nick is a representative of the commercial department. He is another of those quiet fellows but a fine student. This calm and steady young man is known for his unquestionable integrity and has achieved many successes during his stay at Bulkeley. KENNEDY, HUBERT “Hub” Classical Junior Prom Committee 3; Hi-Y 4; Treasurer 4. Have you ever seen “Hub”? If not, you have missed a treat. “Hub” looks to be quiet and serious in the classroom, but when he is at the Hi-Y and with the fair sex, you would be surprised. He always has a pleasant smile and he is singing most of the time. They say he burns a lot of midnight oil. KORINECK, EDMOND “Ed” General It may take a learned student from our rival schools two or three years to determine from where they would rather receive a diploma, but finally we do meet them at Bulkeley. “Ed” figured that it was best to follow the crowd. “Ed” is “pep” personified when he arrives in the morning but after a few periods with the faculty at the helm he soon loses cast. KUSHNER, BERNARD “Kush” Classical Whaler 3, 4; Associate Business Manager “Whaler” 4; Class Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Basketball 2; Class Football 1; Band 1, 2; Orchestra 1; Glee Club 1; Biology Club 3, 4. Whether or not there is room for debate concerning any subject, an opposer to your views can be found in “Kush”. But still he has found time to take part in class activities. Failure will never knock at his door because his keen mind and clear farsightedness will surely turn apparent disaster into overwhelming success. WHALER (55) KIJTIA. ALEXANDER “Goobie” General “Goobie” hails from the striving manufacturing city of Montville. He does not permit serious pursuits to monopolize his thoughts of pleasure, although scholastically he follows the old saying, why do today what you can do tomorrow. LANGDON, RAYMOND E. “Ted Classical Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4; Manager 3, 4; Varsity Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y Club 2. Here is a lad with an eternal smile as well as never tiring jokes. “Ted” also helped make hockey a prominent sport at Bulkeley. After years of scholastic effort “Ted” is beginning to make his report card speak for him. We cannot dig up a woman in his case, but we have our doubts. LATHROP, JAMES “Jimmy General Football 2, 3, 4; Swimming 2; Captain Swimming 3, 4; Varsity Club 2, 3, 4; Potpourri 1; Class Football 1; Class Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Student Representative Bulkeley Athletic Association. “Jimmy” has made a name for himself on the gridiron as well as in the swimming tank. His good na-turedness has caused all who have come in contact with him to retain him as a friend. He was elected during his senior year as student representative to the Bulkeley Athletic Association. We feel that “Jim” will succeed and he has the good wishes of his classmates and faculty. LAWRENCE, HENRY WELLS, JR. “Wells” Classical Potpourri 1, 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 3, 4; Band 2, 3, 4; Spring Hop Committee; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Declamation Contest 1; Vice President 2; Track 1, 2, 3, 4; Vice President Hi-Y 4. The ability of “Wells” in portraying feminine roles with such originality as to quicken the heartbeat of our freshmen, speaks for itself. His alto playing also adds a much-needed quality to the band. “Wells” passes his courses as they come around and without much apparent effort on his part. He is a quiet dependable chap, and a true friend to all. WHALER Ml A A A A (56) LAZOWKSI, MARION Lax” Commercial “Bengal News” printer. “Lax” is another out-of-town boy. He is greatly responsible for the publication of our weekly newspaper. His ouiet ways and ambitious nature have rendered him useful in the office. He is content to keep his thought? to himself and keep right on persevering. LEARY, JACK “Lear Classical Baseball 2; Class Baseball 1, 3; Basketball 2, 3, 4; Class Football 1; Hi-Y 3, 4; Vars.ty Club 4; Captain Basketball 4. “Lear” is noted for his skill in basketball and as a baseball player, he pitched the class of ’3G to six straight wins. He also supports Bulkeley’s social activities loyally. His belief is freedom of speech has caused him and the faculty many a headache. But we all know he is haimless. Good-luck and Adois! LOS AC A NO, VICTOR “Vic � • Classical Baseball 3, 4; Varsity Club 4; Class Basketball 3, 4. During the last two years, “Vic” has emerged from a meek individual to a high point of recognition, especially in baseball. This is an exception to the rule that the “First impression is lasting”. He never complains and his determination to succeed will some day achieve success and fame for him. LYNCH, DAVID “Dave” Classical Class Baseball 2, 3, 4; Basketball 2, 3; Art Editor “Bengal News” 4. “Dave” is a fine artist although he kept this fact a secret until this year. Those who know him have seen in him a loyal friend. He stands high in the estimation of his friends and classmates and although not an athlete he has been a credit to his class. WHALER (57) LYNICK, JOHN “Lindy” General Class Basketball 2, 3, 4; Track 2, 3, 4; Cross Country 2, 3; Varsity Club 4. “Lindy” is one of the faithful men who practice hard daily at Morgan Park. In his quiet way he has made many friends. We wish him the best of luck. We feel he is sure to succeed in this world because of his scholastic elements and sterling character. McGUGAN, ROBERT -.Mac” Commercial Bookkeeping Prize 2. A student of economics and a good one at that is “Mac”. He is a quiet and studious fellow, until aroused, then beware of his temper. “Mac” is a man of action and not of words. His scholastic record speaks for him. McGUIRE, DANIEL “Micky” Commercial Class Basketball 2, 3. Probably the best maxim that fits “Micky” is “Little boys should be seen and not heard”. The obeyance of this rule has been a great help too, especially in the classroom where he lets the teacher do the talking while he absorbs knowledge. He knows when to look solemn in the classroom and escape possible recitation. MESSER, GERA I) Wild horse” Classical Football 2, 3; Track 3, 4; Hockey 2, 3, 4; Class Football 1; Class Basketball 1; Potpourri 1; Varsity Club 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y Club 1, 4; Prom Committee 4. “W'ildhorse” is noted for his track achievements and has tied the school record in high jumping. He is a cheerful friend to know. He cares little for his musty text books and seeks his wisdom and knowledge from boring mortals. He is a staunch supporter of the W. M. 1. tea dances. WII ALE It U (58) MESSINA, THOMAS “Mess’ Commercial Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 2. If anyone is worthy of commendation it is “Mess” Being obliged to arise each morning whether warm or cold, “Mess” woiked on the milk wagon and thence hurried to his studies where he earnestly labored in his pursuit of knowledge. Women mean nothing to him and he does not believe in giving them a break. His classroom work shows him to be a keen student. MINSON, FREDERICK “Freddie” . Classical Harold Teen 1; Track 2; Cross Country 2, 3, 4; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 4; Class Basketball 2, 3, 4. Wherever you go; whatever you do; I want you to know, that “Freddie” will be haunting you. “Freddie” adds his humor toward making the class a more sociable one. As a scallop fisherman he is the pride of Waterford. “Freddie” is one of the much-envied fellows who can devote most of his time to amusement and not worry about studies. MOMM, ROBERT CHASE “Bob” General “Bob” is one of the best mathematicians of the class. Yet he has medical inclinations and will some day cut up a bit. So we seniors are attenuating to get within his good graces. You can always find him seeking knowledge and wisdom in his time worn text-book. We cannot recall any of his failings so we predict a bright future for him. MORAN, THOMAS CHARLES “Tom” Classical Hi-Y 3, 4; Junior Prom 3; Nathan Hale Play 3; Spring Hop Committee 4. “Tom” has become an industrious individual. His ready smile, manly character and curly hair have made him known to the entire class. He has developed into an exceptional student. His support of school activities has been one of his most commendable traits. WHALER (59) AAA NAT WIG, JOHN “Jack” General Football 3, 4; Varsity Club 3, 4. ‘‘Jack” arrived at Bulkeley during our Junior year, and immediately began to make history on the gridiron. During his short stay at Bulkeley he has become one of our most popular students. He is the Beau Brummel of our class and we are keeping him in seclusion from all the W. M. I. girls. NEWBURY. HENRY “New” Classical Hi-Y Cluj 3, 4; Spring Hop Committee 4. Waterford may well be proud of its representation in Bulkeley, among whom “New” plays an important-part. His solemn and serious way of going about his work has made him a popular student. He is a staunch supporter of all social activities. Incidentally he shines in the intricacies of the modern dance. He is one of these conscientious fellows who is always plugging along, never worrying. PAIGE, HILLIARD “Hilly” Classical Bengal News 4; Swimming 4. “Hilly” came to Bulkeley during his Junior year from the Capitol city of the nation. He has never been tempted by any of our student activities except the “Bengal News”. We have our suspicions as to what he does with his spare moments; some say she is a blonde. PARKER. GEORGE Squirt” General “Squirt” originally hailed from Chapman Tech, but he heard so much of Bulkeley while there, that he decided to visit our institution and liked it so much that he finally ended with us. Good judgment “Squirt”! He has the reputation for his ability in stirring things up during our dull moments in class. WHALER (60) I VAR PEARSON General Swede” Track 1, 2, 3, 4; Captain 4; Cross Country 1, 2. 3, 4; Class Basketball 3, 4; Varsity Club 1. 2, 3. 4; President 4; Class Treasurer 3; Junior Prom Committee; Class Vice President 4. “Swede’s” fame as a cross country and track star were climaxed by his leading the pack home in the State meet two years ago. Although Paavo Nurmi is a Finn we are inclined to think that “Swede” must be one of his relatives. As our associate circulation manager for the “Whaler” he has made a name for himself. “Swede” is one of the most popular seniors whether at Bulkeley or at W. M. I. PISCATELLA, SAMUEL A. “Squirt” Classical Basketball 1. 2, 3, 4. “Squirt’s” nickname is symbolic of his stature. He’s a small fellow, but full of pep and at times has so shocked his teacher by flashes of brilliancy, that they have often stated that indeed “Squirt” could be an outstanding student if he so desired. His chief ambition in life is to be shipwrecked off the coast of Tahiti. As a friend he is hard to beat. POPE, FREI) “Buzz” Classical Football 4; Swimming 3, 4. “Buzz” was known locally as a football player long before he had ever seen a Bulkeley suit. Consequently when he arrived from the coast he began to surprise the members of our squad with his kicking and passing. Because of his modesty and pleasing manners he has won the respect of his classmates and the fair damsels over yonder. “Buzz” is capable and should enjoy further success. RAIvOSKY, MORRIS M. “Raks” Classical Hi-Y 3, 4; Band 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 4; Serenaders 3. “Raks” is one of the smaller members of our class. When asked to play a tune on his flute, he immediately produces a niece of the instrument from each pocket, and when fitted together astounds us by producing a melody. “Raks” is studious and very active as a capable member of the senior class. WIIAI.EIl 3« (61) BEDFORD, DAVID GEORGE “Dave Classical Class Baseball 1, 2, 4. “Red” is noted for his ability to read sight translations of Virgil with such speed as to amaze the students and even Dr. Philippse. French is “Red’s” twin brother. He is one of our exceptionally bright students. His principal hobby is to participate in heated debates on any subject. However, he is a jolly good fellow. REIDY, ROBERT “Snag” Classical Football 2, 3, 4; Track 1, 2. 3, 4; Cross country 1; Vice President 1; Secretary 3; Varsity Club 1, 2. 3. 4. You can denote “Snag’s” presence by his boisterous laugh. His good nature has made him the most popular senior of his class. Athletically he is one of the outstanding quarter-milers ir� the state and an excellent tackle on the football team. We were surprised to notice that he has his own technique with the ladies. RIFKINI), LAWRENCE J. “Larry” Classical Whaler Ass’t 3; Editor-in-Chief 4; Ass’t Track Manager 2, 3; Manager 4; Varsity Club 4; Hi-Y 1, 3, 4. “Larry’s” efforts and energetic pep talks have helped to make the success of this year’s Whaler possible. As proof of his versatility he has found time to be a very capable track manager and maintain a fine scholastic record. “Larry’s” good humor and ready wit have won him the friendship of both the faculty and his classmates. RUDDY, ROBERT J. “Rudd” Classical Last September a meek individual walked into our history class and disclosed to the teacher that he would like to enter our institution. Yes, “Rudd” is a transfer from Hillhouse and from the first day his dry humor has sent the class into peals of laughter. He sure is popular with the fair sex. (62) WHALER SANDGREN. NELSON “Nel” Classical Track 2, 3, 4; Varsity Club 3. 4; Hi-Y Club 3, 4. Spring Hop Committee 4. “Nell” is a fellow of few words, but accomplishes a great deal. Some think that his love for the sea will eventually cause him to enter Annapolis. The savage in him was discovered when he became a perfect hurdler. He is a good “one lady’s man”. “Nel” has always been very active and is very capable. SCANLON. JAMES F. “Jimmie” General Hi-Y 3, 4; Spring Hop Committee 3. “Jimmie” is the class’s best dancer and social lion. It’s strange how these timid individuals suddenly rise to popularity overnight. But perhaps it is due to his chivalrous character. If our feminine readers should chance upon this picture, we beg them not to cut it out to use for dressing table adornment. “Jimmie” is a regular fellow and always takes an interest in our school life. SCHAPEROW. FARLEY A. “Shap” Classical Track 1. 2, 4; Glee Club 1, 2. 3, 4; Band 1, 2; Football 4; Hi-Y 4. “Shap” has been a great source of laughter to us, but vou should see him construct clay bowls (then you’d die iaughing, too.) This precocious youngster has one other claim to fame—he can argue longer and say less about any subject under the sun than any man known. However, he is right there as far as brains are concerned and we believe that “Shap” will prove to be a success in life. SCOTT, WILBUR “Scotty Classical “Scotty” is our little Napoleon who hails from the Old Lyme districts, which probably accounts for his lack of participation in school activities. From those that are well acquainted with him. we learn that “Scotty” has a determined and cheerful personage. You would never guess, by looking at him. what quantities of work he can get away with. As a student he has made a name for himself. WIIALER (63) SHERIFF, MILTON I. “Milt” Classical Whaler Ass’t 3; Biographical Editor 4; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3. 4; Concert Master 4: Serenaders 1. 2, 3; Glee Club 1. 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 1, 2, 3. 4; Biology Club 3, 4; Declamation Contest 2; Track 2; Christmas Dance Committee 4. “Milt” has made a name for himself through his good-naturedness and sunny disposition. Holding his own academically, he has benefited greatly because of his worthy support and participation in school activities. SKAWINSKI, JOHN “Hebe” Classical Assistant manager Baseball 2, 3, Manager 4; Class Basketball 2. 3; Varsity Club 4; Cross Country 1; Hi-Y 1, 3, 4; Secretary Stamp Club 2; Biology Club 3, 4. “Bebe” is one of the smaller fellows in the class, but this did not stop him from taking part in many of our activities. He led our class basketball team during our junior year, and had a very successful year. “Bebe” passes his courses without making any fuss about them. This is indeed a most commendable trait which should bring him unlimited success. ■I SUMMERSCALES, GEORGE, JR. “G” Classical Cross Country 4; Glee Club 3; Cheer-leader 4. As his nickname indicates, “G” is one of Bulkeley’s gifts to W. M. I. George also figured highly in obtaining good results as a cheer leader during the football season. “G” is the other half of the Summerscales twins. As twins go they are a pair of aces which would go good with any other pair. We have an inkling that he is a bear with the fairer sex. SUMMERSCALES, HAROLD General •Red” Cheer-leader 4. In every walk of life there is always need of men who will stand unruffled and at ease when things about them are all “hay-wire” and everyone else is panicky. “Red's” common sense has won our admiration as well as our confidence. Since “Red” is the other half of the Summerscale twins we hope that brother George will not corrupt his morals. “Red” is a bookful boy but a student of the highest type who is thorough, neat and most learned.

He is also an excellent actor and has participated in many Bulkeley plays. “Ned” is gifted with a wonderful disposition which has brought him a host of friends. STANTON, ARTHUR W. Classical “Art” “Art” has been a mystery to us. One rarely sees him about. He seldom speaks, but when he does, let no man challenge him, for his words invariably have a wealth of meaning. STARR, WILLARD “Bill” Classical “Bill” is one of the boys hailing from the wide open spaces of Niantic. His quiet manner and pleasing smile has brought him many friends during his stay at Bulke-ley. “Bill” is the irresistible owner of a wonderful disposition. Wine, women and song have no important part in his life. SULLIVAN, DONALD A. “Sully” Classical Typing Award 3; Whaler Secretary 4; Class Basketball 3, 4. “Sully” has been a valuable asset in the successful production of the “Whaler” this year. He is also noted for his accomplishments in the commercial division. He acts the perfect gentleman around school. Although he never participates in any of the heated debates concerning the Eternal Question Mark, he has some opinions of his own. His pleasing personal manner has made him a favorite among us.

Indeed, many were the nights he spent pouring over the business affairs of the “Whaler”. As a student he is most conscientous and worthwhile in all of his accomplishments. His ready wit and good natured-ness have won for him the praise of all of his associates. His only contemptuous act is that he has given his heart to a Fitch instead of a W. M. I. maiden.

He is also a diver of no mean ability and has proven a great help to the swimming team. ZUCKERMAN.AVERY Red” Classical Hi-Y 2. Assistant Manager of Baseball 2. “Red” in his earnest pursuit of high scholastic standing has spent many a night pouring over his books and indeed, he has been rewarded as one can see. if they were to glance at his card.

WHEN WE WERE FRESHMEN JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Time goes on and we now find ourselves Juniors. It is difficult to believe that almost three years have already passed since we first entered Bulkeley as Freshmen. A short resume of some events in our stay at Bulkeley, up-to-date, will help to recall pleasant memories to the class of 1937. The Freshmen year was spent in being heckled by the upperclassmen, reverencing the members of the faculty and by singing “O Sole Mio” in the assemblies. We chose for class officers Charles Quarry as President and Richard Walker Vice President. We presented “The Ringleader” in the Potpourri. This act was coached by Mr. Grubner. Under the guidance of Mr. Silva our interclass baseball team won the league. Our entire class marched in the N. R. A. parade. When we returned as Sophomores, we felt that we were masters of the school. We selected Richard Walker President and Charles Quarry Vice President. We contributed a fair number to the football team. We also placed a few boys on the basketball, baseball, and track squads. Under the coaching of Mr. Ray Reed, we presented, successfully, an act in the Potpourri. Those of us that have survived the storms, returned this fall as Juniors wearing long pants. Our class officers are Robert Hughes President and Howard Hauss, Secretary-Treasurer. We have our usual representation on the football, basketball, and other teams. Albo Secchiaroli and Enrico Uguccioni made the All-Conference team. Unconsciously, we have grown to be a regular part of Bulkeley School. We realize the part that we are expected to play and we intend to fulfill the expectations of our predecessors. We are anxiously looking forward to becoming seniors. Harry Freeman CLASS CL 1937 Robert Hughes .............................. President Howard Hauss .....................

CLASS OF 1937 SCPUCMCRE CLASS HISTCCy On September fourth of nineteen hundred and thirty-four, the tide of “38” surged into Bulkeley accompanied by wild shouting, pushing, and the pranks that are a part of every freshman horde. When a comparative quiet was restored we were announced as “the largest class in the annals of the school.” To make all the necessary arrangements for two hundred and fifty students was not an easy task and it was a week before the “grind” was begun. We elected Armando Baldelli, president; George Walker, Vice President; and Fenner Douglass, Secretary-Treasurer, to assume the responsibilities of our class. The school was indebted to us for the athletic stars (?) we gave them in football, track, baseball, tennis, basketball, and cross-country. We scored a hit in dramatics with our comedy, “The Amateurs” coached by Mr. Hjortland and Mr. Stetson, in the annual Potpourri. Bulkeley’s year book, “The Whaler”, ranked with the top-notchers of the country, and appreciating a real value, we bought “Whalers” by the packages. The majority survived the scholastic wars for when the final reports were issued most of us were jubilant sophomores to be. TIME MARCHES ON— We are now embarking on our second voyage and none know what perils await us in the sea of 1935. When we came back this year, we elected Armando Baldelli, President, and Robert Mitchell as Secretary-Treasurer. w ■■ ,vi.Fit :� « (74) CLASS Cf 1938 Armando Baldelli President Robert Mitchell Secretary-Treasurer Alter, H.

(75) WHALER fCEJUMEN fCESUMCN Cl ASS HISTORY We, the freshmen, are now fully and happily started on our four years’ course at Bulkeley after many trying and awe-inspiring experiences of the first few days. Most of us are happy and calm after these troublesome encounters with our class-mates, and the belittling manifestations shown us by the arrogant upper classmen. Within a very short while after we had passed through the stone portals as a class, we had the first real test of our ability. Some of us dared to roam to the lunch-room to satisfy our desires to live and eat and to our dismay fell into the clutches of our astute faculty members and we were politely told that in store for us was waiting a reserve seat in the “Bastile”, or seventh period, for our indescretion. The climax of our early experiences were the first quarterly examinations, which to many seemed a mighty bitter dose, but fortunately the mortality list did not include all of us. At our first class meeting we decided to elect Thomas Donovan as President and Victor Shelburne as Vice President. The class meeting was a novel experience to most of us in that any candidate appeared tc be a potential victor. It was only a question of just who wished to offer himself as a sacrifice to leadership. In the field of sports we have several potential candidates who should make a name for themselves in the course of their four years at Bulkeley. Skrigan showed’ his worth this fall as gridiron star and in time should carry off many of the laurels. Fadden is now considered as one of the most promising backstroke candidates available for this year’s powerful swimming team. As a class we are trying to cultivate that noble spirit which has so characterized the many Bulkeley students of the past, by participating in all activities such as the Potpourri, clubs, and the fields of sports, and the many other activities. We hope that our guiding spirit will always be one of service to our class-mates and to our beloved school. WHALER :� « (78) CL4SI Cf 1939 Thomas Donovan ....................

Omar Khayyam WHALER :� « (82) DLLrCI ty yE4RS 4GC By FREDERICK W. EDGERTON In June 1911—25 years ago—there were no graduation exercises at Bulkeley School. Not that “academic suicide” had annihilated an entire class of students; not that a community cataclysm prevented the customary formalities attending the completion of the regular course of study. But there were no exercises because there was no class to graduate, and there was no class to graduate because, by a decision of the Board of Trustees reached a few years before, the regular school course had been lengthened from three to lour years. Nineteen eleven was the year in which the change became effective. But Bulkeley School was in full and active operation. The inescapable formalities of the ending of the school year included the awarding of the prizes offered for excellence in various studies. Incidentally some of the prizes could not be awarded because they were awarded for excellence in connection with the graduation exercises. At the session of the school on the morning of June 21, Principal Walter A. Towne made the announcements of the awards. The German prize went to George Copeland; the bookkeeping prize was divided between George O. Gadbois and Joseph J. Gaffney; the senior science prize went to Theodore Newcomb; the mathematical prize to Samuel S. Rondomanski; the middle science prize to Isidor Goldberg; and the alumni medal for English went to Girard B. Troland as did the Latin prize. Nor was the school lacking in aspirants to enter its doors. Those who came in formed the class of 1915. Some twenty-odd earnest young men passed the examinations required for entrance—for there were written entrance examinations given at the school in those days. Each successful student passed with a grade in excess of the set minimum of 50 per cent. Some who failed to pass in June were given a second opportunity in September. Could anyone in looking over that list of names of entering students have possessed the clairvoyant power in June 1911 to have designated one boy in that group as he who would be Captain of Police in New London in 1936? Or to have marked another to become a distinguished college professor in the next twenty-five years? Or could such a one have said: “Twenty-five years from now that boy there with the sparkling eyes and the friendly smile, why he will be the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Connecticut in 1936? How much can happen in twenty-five years! And the thought flashes across one’s mind: If such things are possible in a quarter century viewed in retrospect, what may b© expected to develop in the next twenty-five years! Athletically Bulkeley was not slumbering in those days either. Though there was no school gymnasium, no real auditorium, and no superior athletic field, nevertheless her baseball team was capable enough to defeat Norwich Academy by a score of two to one. “A timely hit by Centerfielder Martin,” says the record, “won the game of the season for Bulkeley at Armstrong Park on Saturday when the Orange and Black youngsters met their old time rivals, Norwich Free Academy. For a win by N. F. A. was all they required to cinch the much coveted pennant together with the school championship of Eastern Connecticut.” In the sixth inning Norwich succeeded in sending a man across the plate for the first run of the game. “Not a murmur was heard from the Bulkeley supporters until the eighth, when Martin, who had recently been out of the game with a sore knee, stepped to the plate and in came two runs. Score: Bulkeley 2, Norwich 1.” “In regard to the crowd, never in the history of Bulkeley School”, says the Record, “has such a crowd of fans, relatives, and rooters turned out for a high school game. The new grandstand at Armstrong Park was filled and the bleachers also were crowded. It pleased many of the spectators the way the young people of both sides entered into the spirit and cheered for their schools. At each end of the grandstand were the cheering sections and more than one of the audience was reminded of a college game.” Twenty-five years ago! At that time as before it, Bulkeley School thru her students and her alumni ably carried out her traditions of athletic and scholastic proficiency. May she always continue to do so! And to that end may her students look back at her history and then with courage and determination make new records of glorious achievement for her and for themselves! wiiai.fr :i« (83) a Ai a a ATHLETICS BULfvCLEy ATE Incorporators Thomas E.

Mercer, Bulkeley School became the recipient of one of the finest athletic fields, club houses and equipment in the State of Connecticut. Also since then he has given generously to many school activities. This noble gift is under the managerial control of some of Bulke-ley’s most esteemed graduates. They became the incorporators of Bulkeley’s splendid gift. The incorporators are Cornelius C. Costello, Alfred Lig-ourie, Morris Lubchanskv, Thomas E. Troland, and Thomas S. McGinley. The next step in the organization was the selection of a Board of Directors. The above named incorporators by virtue of the office were the nucleus of a Board of Directors which was increased by the appointment of four additional members to include the following—all good men and true—Arthur H. Shurts, Samuel Prentis, and Homer K. Underwood. Thus it works that the real ownership of Mercer Field is vested in the Alumni. Every boy when he graduates becomes in a very real sense one of the permanent owners of the field. Thomas E. Troland was elected President; C. C. Costello, Vice President; Alfred Ligourie, Mr. Frederic W. Mercer Secretary; Samuel Prentis was chosen to be Graduate Athletic Manager; and Arthur H. Shurts, Treasurer, James Lathrop ’36, student representative. Under Mr. Shurt’s guidance and skillful supervision the association has been able to meet all current expenses and provide a surplus for much needed improvements at the field. Mercer Field is used at all times by all Bulkeley teams and thus the athletes receive a splendid training in character and healthbuilding which are essential for individual growth and well-being in preparation for the Thomas S.

COSTELLO Born, December 6, 1883 Died, February 2, 1936 In every capacity, public or private, he was the same efficient, courteous gentleman. Mr. Costello had twice been chosen to represent the eighteenth senatorial district in our Connecticut Assembly—first in 1921-23 and again in 1933-35. He held the position of judge at the town court of Groton for the last thirteen years. He graduated at Bulkeley School in 1898 and represented with honor and distinction the Bulkeley men who have become successful merchants. Although Mr. Costello gave the maximum of time and attention to business and to civic affairs, he was an active supporter of his alma mater and belonged to the cabinet of past presidents of the Bulkeley Alumni Association. “Connie” as his friends were wont to call him, was unequaled and unsurpassed as the raconteur of interesting stories about boys and men. His appearance at a school assembly was the guarantee of a rich fund of anecdotes which never failed to combine wholesome philosophy with sparkling humor. His deeds and kindness will be forever inscribed in Our hearts. DR. ROBERT T.

This success was achieved under the able guidance of Coaches O’Brien and Collins. Immediately after returning from the summer vacation, football practice was begun. Coach O’Brien was greeted by material that is not the pleasure of very many coaches to use in building up a team. With veterans like Co-captains Donovan and Hamilton, leading our team, prospects seemed bright. Especially when experienced men such as Hughes, Uguccioni, Hartman, Smith, Reidy, Lathrop, Natwig, Walker, Quarry, and Bishop were also candidates for varsity positions. The traditional Hillhouse game although lost by a score of 7-12 proved a moral victory for Bulkeley because Hillhouse’s advantage in weight overshadowed Bulkeley’s advantage in fight by one touchdown. The Tigers, combining first and fourth period power, defeated Stonington 18-0 in the opening Eastern Connecticut Conference game at Mercer Field before a fair sized crowd. Cocaptains Hamilton and Donovan were outstanding. Hamilton was the most consistent ground gainer, while Donovan’s charging hastened the Stonington punters during each quarter. Still showing near perfect defensive power the Orange and Black line allowed only 38 yards from running plays. Meeting unexpected opposition at the hands of Woodrow Wilson our mentors managed to push over a fourth quarter touchdown to win 7-0. This was the President’s first defeat since 1933. In this game the old fighting and driving spirit seemed to be lacking. An aerial from Pope to Natwig with Natwig racing from the fifteen yard stripe to the seven yard line before he was forced out of bounds placed Bulkeley in scoring position. Three plays brought the ball inches from the goal and Caron bucked it over. Still lacking that needed something, our team a prohibitive pre-game favorite had to wait till the final period to score the winning touchdown over Windham. Matt Bishop WHALEII 3« (95) A A Albo Secchiaroli took the ball over the goal line after his pass to Ned Smith and a five-yard penalty gave the Tigers a first down on the two-yard line. This game gave Bulkeley sole possession of the first place in the Eastern Connecticut Conference. The heart breaker of the schedule was when an alert Crosby High eleven of Waterbury scored two touchdowns in the final 45 seconds to play. So sudden were the two tallies, that many fans, who had left the field before the final whistle, were wending their way home satisfied that the Orange and Black had played their heavier rivals to a scoreless tie. The Fitch game was postponed due to a downpour of rain. Our powerful juggernaut assumed a strategic position in the Conference when they vanquished Chapman Tech 13-6. Brilliant end play by Uguccioni and Bishop stopped Tech’s running plays while Secchiaroli and Caron ran through the wide holes ripped open by the strong forward wall. Co-Captain Donovan played havoc with the Tech running attack as did Cocaptain Ernie Hamilton. Continuing a school boy gridiron rivalry that began in the 1870’s the two schools, Bulkeley and Norwich Free Academy, came to the final test with unbeaten conference records. With Norwich slight favorites Bulkeley lost a football victory but won a moral victory. Finding that they could really play football, Bulkeley in the second half outplayed Norwich and just missed scoring the winning touchdown in a 55 yard drive in the wiiALEn :� « (96) closing minutes of the game. It was a game we were not ashamed to lose. The score was 9-6. Adding to our sorrows for losing the game was the thought of Matt Bishop’s accident. On a snow swept field before less than 100 near-frozen fans our Bulkeley stalwarts of the gridiron closed their season with a 20-0 victory over the Fitch Tanagers. The game was unusually free from errors which predominate football games on such cold days and on such slippery turf. In the fourth quarter, the Tigers received help from Bob Reidy, who blocked a punt and intercepted a pass to put the Orange and Black in position for its two final touchdowns. Rocky Uguccioni was chosen on the All-State first team, and Billy Donovan, star center and co-captain of our football team was chosen on the All-Star second team. Donovan, Uguccioni and Secchiaroli were all-conference grid selections for first string while James Lathrop, Charles Quarry and Matt Bishop were chosen as second team men. Dick Walker achieved honorable mention. Ten Seniors had played their last game of scholastic football. These men were: Co-Captain Donovan who was a fixture at center, while Bud Hartman and Jimmy Lathrop filled the guard position, Bob Reidy started at right tackle while Ned Smith and Matt Bishop covered the big end territory. In the backfield Co-Captain Hamilton with Jack Natwig and Richie Greene were other Senior backs. (97) WHALER JOSEPH A.

(100) THE E4IEC4LL SEASON This year’s baseball team has not reached the heights of previous Bulkeley teams in registering victories instead of defeats, but it was by no means a weak aggregation as is shown by its four impressive victories and four games that might have been turned into victories with a little more attention by Mrs. “Lady Luck.” However the teams showed that fine, clean, fighting spirit that is so characteristic of “Obees” teams and took its defeats the same as its victories with no loss of heart nor much swelling of the head. In the fourteen games played, Bulkeley won four, lost ten, but the margin of defeat was not always great enough to indicate the superiority of the victorious team. Windham High School routed Bulkeley 27-8 in our opening conference game as our Tiger pitching staff and infield collapsed completely beneath terrible punishment. Strengthened materially defensively by the initial appearance of Ken Moore on the mound and by Sam Bongo’s return to first base after a period of ineligibility, the team got right back in the thick of the conference championship race by turning back Chapman Tech 8-1. Ken Moore’s hurling and Kari’s untiring hitting featured this turn back and William F. O’Brien’s charges looked like a renovated ball club. Fitch game was postponed. The Norwich Wildcats tamed Bulkeley 4-2 as our team scored without a hit twice. Bulkeley had little trouble defeating Stonington 9-4 giving Bulkeley a .500 average with two victories and two defeats. Rallies in the fourth and fifth and seventh innings netted the Tigers seven of their run total. Walt Kari was the offensive hero of the victory driving out a pair of doubles and two scratch hits in four times at bat, in addition to scoring four of the Bulkeley runs and batting home a fifth counter. Bulkeley topped Fitch 9-2 winning its third victory in five starts. Hitting and hurling honors went to Mike Levko who staged a comeback by limiting the Fitch batsmen to six scattered singles. Norwich smothered Bulkeley to sweep the annual two game series and step into first place in the Conference. Kari and Ham smacked the ball over the fence successively and Ham was robbed of another homer as Congdon made a sensational one hand catch which resulted in a double play. WIIAI.En MB A (101) Fielding perfectly behind Ken Moore’s three hit pitching the Tigers defeated Stonington 4-1. Bee Deshefy was the big figure in our attack. He gathered two out of the four hits, stole second on two occasions, moved to third on infield outs, and scored on perfect hits by Scotty Thompson (captain). A three run rally in the eighth inning gave New Britain a 5-2 decision over Bulkeley in a pitcher’s duel. The Freshman star Caron was touched for only six blows and fanned four. Tony Koleda took the fielding honors of the day. Failing to hit in the pinches Bulkeley lost to Hartford Public 3-1. Ken Moore deserved a shut-out but costly errors by Bulkeley men were instrumental in the scoring of the Hartford runs. Thwarting a desperate Bulkeley rally in the ninth with a brilliant piece of pitching, Jimmy McKenna led the Chapman Huskies to a 4-3 victory over our Tigers in the annual Memorial day duel. Bulkeley won a free hitting game from Windham High by the score of 9-8. Walt Kari started the fireworks and was followed by Koleda, Hughes, Mike Laput, Moore, Bongo, Thompson, Czekalla and Stadnick. Caron’s good pitching went unrewarded as New Britain upset the Tigers for the second time by winning a fast 5-1 encounter. Caron fanned six of the visiting batsmen but was poorly supported which led to the score made by New Britain. WIIAI.EIt ‘.‘Mi A, A A (102) 13 ETC ALL THE SEASON, 1935 Because of their comparative inexperience and small stature, the Bulkeley Basketball team did not enjoy a very successful season. The schedule opened with a loss to Naugatuck 18-27. Eduards the flashy Naugatuck star, tallied 17 points of the 27 made by his teammates. Verbillo, playing the pivot position, scored 9 points. Our diminutive team bowed to a taller and much more experienced alumni quintet, 15-23. Captain Bill Shemet and “Pint” Verbillo shared honors as each made 6 points. Hillhouse overcame Bulkeley in their third game of the season. The opponents had a much stronger and superior team. We were vanquished by a score of 18-35. An improved five scored their first victory by an easy 30-13 win over Saybrook. Leary and Steve Waligurski along with Billy Shemet and Verbillo sank most of the shots. Fitch was the first game of the conference. It was also the first victory for the Tigers. We rolled over Fitch 30-10. Jack Leary and Billy Shemet tallied 8 and 7 points respectively. In a rough and tumble basketball orgy the Bengals defeated Westerly 34-29. Steve Waligurski was Bulkeley’s ace, scoring 12 points. Continuing its basketball jinx over the Bulkeley team, Windham pulled a surprise victory of 28-19. Norwich turned aside a brilliant Bulkeley rally to win its first basketball victory from Bulkeley in five years. From a tie of 23-23 Norwich won by 25-27. Callaghan’s boys continued their jinx to chalk up a score of 17-28. The final blow came as Steve Waligurski, Rawdon Cook, Joe Hann, and Gil Hollandersky were barred from play because of the scholastic hurdles they could not avoid. Not yet recovered from examination losses the Bulkeleyites lost the return game to Hillhouse 24-45. Bulkeley had its fifth defeat in a row at the hands of Morse Business College of Hartford 24-30. After a terrific battle Chapman Tech nosed out our boys 17-19. Chi-howski’s shot won the game with two seconds to play. The Fitch Tanagers routed a six-year jinx by nosing out Bulkeley 28-26. Captain Bill Shemet proved his worthiness by making 17 points. This was the first time Fitch had ever won an athletic contest with Bulkeley. Bulkeley was trounced by Norwich Free Academy 20-9. Chapman Tech repulsed our inspired effort to a well earned score of 17-12. Captain Bill Shemet was in possession of the ball during the Bulkeley offensive drives and the clever handling and dribbling of the Bulkeley leader was threat to the tight zone defense of Tech. Those who received letters were Captain Bill Shemet, Alex Verbillo, Walt Waligurski, Tommy Golart, Enrico Uguccioni, Dick Walker.

Captain Esposito scored 12 points. Bulkeley took all three places in the 220 yard dash and the 880 yard win with Bob Reidy, Nelson Arnold, Louis Esposito, Ivar Pearson and Ed Buxton all doing their parts. Continuing its impressive form, the Bulkeley team easily defeated the Fitch Tanagers, 77 4 5-30 1 5 at Morgan Park. Nelson Arnold set the pace for our Bulkeley lads in this meet by finishing first in the 440 with Bob Reidy and then picking up another first in the 220 yard dash with the help of Mr. Hamlen’s dog. One school record was broken when Pearson lowered the record for the mile for the third time during his career. Zito took an easy first while Plona tied for first place in the pole vault. Our undefeated track team captured the out-of-state championship in the Rhode Island Interscholastic at Kingston, R. I. with a point total of 41 points. Dom Zito, freshman ace and Louis Esposito of Bulkeley captured first Although we did not know it at the time Coach Frank Hamlen probably decided to do something great before he quit his post so he produced a wonderful track team. Likewise the team itself unknowingly gave to Coach Hamlen the best present any team could give to a coach. As coach, last season was Mr. Hamlen’s best. The Bulkeley Tigers were undefeated in high school competition, losing only to Moses Brown Prep School. The school did not send a full team to the Connecticut Interscholastics, the day after the Moses Brown meet, but we entered enough runners to compete in the relay, which we won. Bulkeley’s conquest of Norwich Free Academy, both in a duel meet and the conference championship meet marked the surprising finish of the Red and White’s two year dominance of Eastern Connecticut schools. The Norwich Wildcats were certainly wild when the Bulkeley Track and field team upset them in the annual duel between these two traditional rivals. Our tiger athletes captured eight out of thirteen first places including two jumping events which were won when Fabian Plona and Louis Esposito won in the high and broad jump respec- Ivar Pearson Captain-Elect (107) W IIA I. Fit .'� « place in the 100 and broad jumps, respectively. John O’Brien won the 220 low hurdles and placed second in the 120 high hurdles. Traveling to Providence the Bulkeley track and field team met its first defeat of the season at the hands of Moses Brown Preparatory school by the score of 79-47. Our tigers made a good showing throughout the meet, but the older Brown boys were too experienced for the chargers of Coach Ham-len. The Tigers gathered three first places, Ed Buxton winning the half mile, Dom Zito and Bob Reidy tying in the 220, and Ivar Pearson, Louis Steinberg and Walter Wainwright finishing hand in hand in the mile. Captain Esposito tied with Louis Knowles in the broad jump. The conference meet would not have been a success without the usual record-breaking habit so characteristic of our invincible track stars. Ivar Pearson made a new record in the mile run, covering the distance in 4 minutes and 42.5 seconds. John O’Brien, another member of our famous team of track performers, broke the 220 yard hurdle record by running the race in 27.1 seconds. At the Brown Interscholastics, Bulkeley had to encounter the most unusual type of competition, fostered upon our boys by forty-one schools such as Dean Academy, LaSalle Academy, Moses Brown, Roxbury. Pearson won for himself glory at this meet by running the two-mile run in | WII ALE II : « (108) First Row, L.R.—Zito, Collins, Arnold, Capt. Esposito, O’Brien, Capt.-Elect Pearson, Reidy.

The very next day Coach Hamlen entered three iron men of the track team, Reidyi Pearson'and Buxton in the State Meet. The meet was held at New Haven and our three harriers burned up the cinder path to take three places out of three entries; a perfect score. These men placed thus; Reidy—fourth in 440 yard run; Buxton—fourth in 880 yard run; Pearson—third in mile run. Our relay team also won a state title although the points did not count in the final score. On May 22 Bulkeley entered the conference meet scoring 52 points and winning the meet. Norwich, our most beloved rivals came second with the score of 31 points. Except for the 440 yard run Bulkeley won every running event which allowed them the score of 42 points right there. Captain Esposito doing his bit for our dear old Alma Mater won the running broad jump.

Besides winning seven straight meets, we also won the Eastern Connecticut-Western Rhode Island Conference for the second consecutive time. Our opening meet was a defeat at the hands of Hill-house by a score of 8-0. The team was dealt a hard blow when Captain Louis Decker broke his wrist. Handicapped by this, the team lost to Norwich, 4-2. Beckwith won the single match. Having rounded out into good form, the team defeated Chapman Tech by a score of 5-2. Beckwith was also the star of this meet. The next meet was a victory from the New Haven Community College by 5-3. Russel Beckwith was the outstanding player defeating the Commercial ace, Levy. Still in perfect form, we defeated Windham by a score of 3-2, and thus showed that we won the best team in the conference. Gordon Beckwith and Kenneth MacDonald were the most outstanding performers. By the impressive score of 5-2, we trounced Norwich Free Academy. This was our sixth straight victory in two years. Gordon Beckwith defeated Rudak by 6-2, 6-3. The second meet with Tech was just another defeat for our rivals, Kenneth MacDonald and Gordon Beckwith were again the star players. An error in time prevented Gordon Beckwith taking the opportunity of becoming, in all probability, state single champion. in as much as, he had defeated the winner of this tournament in a previous contest. The Conference play-off was held at Caulkins Park on June 6 and 7. Our team finished with a total of 26 points and the Conference championship.

This was due to the fact that there is no suitable rink in New London for home games. The first game of the season was played at the New Haven Arena. This game resulted in a victory for the West Haven team after a stubborn battle. The next game was played against William Hall High School on the Hartford Country Club rink. Final score was Wm. Hall 3, Bulkeley 0. Bulkeley won its first victory of the season against New Haven Commercial in an exciting overtime game. After tying the score in the third period the Bulkeley puckmen went on to w’in 2-1 by scoring early in the overtime period. The second successive overtime game was played, this time against Wm. Hall, on the Salem rink. The Tiger skaters wfent down to defeat, 2-0, when the Wm. Hall forwards shot twfo goals in quick succession during the overtime period. The fifth and final game of the season found the Commercial boys coming to Salem, to avenge their early season defeat by Bulkeley. They did so with a vengeance defeating the Tigers 5-1. CCWIING Bowling was recognized as a minor sport at Bulkeley for the first time during the 1935-36 season when a team entered a league composed of Chapman Tech, New London Business College, Suburban High, and Bulkeley. All games were rolled on the local Y. M. C. A. alleys on Monday afternoons and the schedule covered a twelve week period. At this time, with three league matches remaining, Bulkeley is assured of second place and is only three points behind the present leader Chapman Tech. Prospects for a championship team next year are very bright as we lose only two men by graduation and the interest has been very high. No athletes engaged in other school sports were allowed to bowl and scholastic eligibility has been observed throughout. Expenses were paid by the individuals competing. Minor sports letters this year will be awarded to the following: Warren Holl-andersky, Captain; Stanley Hendel; Joseph Dube; William Tuneski; and Louis Esposito. (116) WHALER tt INTERCL4$$EAIEE4II THE SEASON, 1935 M The eighth season of interclass baseball at Bulkeley School under the direction of P. Henry Shay of the Faculty was concluded with the award of the championship to the class of 1936 under the direction of Jack Leary, Jim Lathrop, and Stan Hendel. The present Seniors, then Juniors, made a clean sweep of all the six games with the rival classes, being hard-pressed only in two of six games. Other Juniors instrumental in carrying the winners to the pennant were Bel-bruno, Impelleteri, DeGange, Fadden, and Dube. The class of 1935, now graduated, made a gallant attempt to win its only interclass baseball championship, but after giving the Juniors a close rub in the first game, 5-4, blew up in the second game. Tom Elliot and Warren Lewis did their best for the losers. The Seniors then went on to lose their Commencement Game to the Faculty 3-2. The Sophomore team under the guidance of Bob Lathrop was guilty of spotty baseball looking like champs at one moment and cellar occupants at another. Steve Waligurski of this team broke one record never before accomplished in the history of class baseball at Mercer Field. In one of the games he lifted one neatly over the center-field fence for a home run. Fielding features on this team went to Gustini and Loughman. Coach Henry P. Shea The Freshmen team under the direction of Mr. Silva suffered one of its worst seasons in the history of class baseball, not even coming close to a win. Pitching here was also lacking and the rest of the team failed to come up to expectations as fielders or hitters. There were no exceptional players. The brand of baseball was not on a par with that of other years, and any honors must go to the pitchers of the Junior and Senior classes. The Bulkeley varsity cannot count on very many players coming up from the ranks of class baseball next spring. Briefly, it was an off-season.

Baldelli, the pivot man, was the individual star scoring 10 points. Nick Verbillo featured their 35-16 victory over the Y Leaders sinking five shots from the center of the court. Continuing on their winning way, the Freshmen defeated the Y Intermediates 26-9 when Jack Mathews and Bill Tuneski flashed a scoring attack that dazzled their opponents. Their streak was given a rude jolt, however, when the “Ints,” in a return game, defeated them 25-16. Paced by Joe Gorra, the Freshmen squirmed back into the winning column, at the expense of Frank Bongaret’s All-Stars, chalking up a 16-8 win. Then Windham landed them a stinging 20-14 defeat. We absorbed our second conference defeat at the hands of Norwich by the same score. Their third straight loss, a thriller, was administered to them by the Mystic Oral School with Jack DelMonte scoring six times. In a return game, Windham again defeated them 26-14.

THE DANE The band is now recognized as one of Bulkeley’s outstanding organizations. It was first instituted in our school life eight years ago by our music director, Mr. Howard T. Pierce. He deserves a great deal of credit for the splendid manner which he has inspired the members of the band so as to enable them to achieve fame and distinction throughout New England. The band last year participated in the different State and New England contests. They won first place in class B in the State contest and were given the unusual distinction of playing the opening number at the evening concert at the Bushnel Memorial during the time that the contest was being held. Also the same distinction was bestowed upon them at the All-New England music festival at Newport, R. I. A most interesting program of music competition is planned for the coming season. They are scheduled to play at the All-New England Band and Orchestra festival in addition to the regular New England festival at Portland, Maine, June 22 and 23.

Since workshop number 47 is a new undertaking, this activity will receive the unstinted support of the faculty and student body in order to assure its success in future years. WHALER « (126) PCTPCLRCI 1 On the nights of December 19 and 20, the thirteenth annual Potpourri was presented. With the aid of both the students and the citizens of New London, there was a complete sell-out both nights. This year Mr. Pierce, general director, attempted two novel acts. On Thursday night an amateur night was staged and on Friday night W. M. I. presented a pageant directed by Miss Howe. Special recognition should be given to the Senior class for two reasons. The first reason is that this class had the good fortune to win the Potpourri for four consecutive years. This was also the first time that a student directed presentation should win the event. John Gorman and Max Boguslofsky, as directors, were responsible for its success. As is the custom, the Sophomore and Junior classes presented their acts on the first night. “The High Heart” by A. Rowell and coached by Ray Reed was the Sophomore choice. This had its setting in the South during the Civil War. Headed by Charles W. Schulze, Jr., the cast including Harold Hendrickson, Stockman Barnes, Joe Corcoran, Andrew Speziali, Fenner Douglas and Bernard Wolfe accounted very well for their class. “Rain Falleth” by P. N. Jacobson was also presented on Thursday night by the Junior Class, directed by Elbert E. Orcutt. George Humpf-ner received much praise from the judges. The supporting cast included Robert Sullivan, Walter Douglass, Harry Archer, Roland Bishop and John Shea. Mr. Stetson, as the Major of the amateur hour, caused much laughter. A prize was awarded to Ellis Hartman. Other contestants were Fred Minson, Burton Schaperow, Paul Cover, and James Dicklow. “He” by Eugene O’Neil was the first production of the Friday evening acts. This was directed by John Gorman and Max Boguslofsky and was the prize winner. It was the story of a New England whaling captain, his wife and crew, who were frozen in, in the oil region. His wife went crazy and this furnished a very dramatic ending. John Gorman enacted this part to perfection. The part of the Captain was well portrayed by Max Boguslofsky. The other members of the cast were Ned Smith, Richard Greene, Wells Lawrence, Hubert Kennedy, Norman Breed and Benjamin Thorn. This production was well worthy of the recognition it was given. The second performance was “Sparkin’” by E. P. Conkle, directed by Arthur Hjortland, which won second place. This told about the customs and characteristics of the mountain folks of Kentucky and Tennessee. The cast was composed of Raymond Corey, Stephen Paul Carl Rakosky and John Cullen. The final act was the Christmas Pageant by W. M. I. This was an excellent act, very well done. The music for the Potpourri was directed by Mr. Pierce.

EICLCeyCLUB Last year under the able direction of Mr. Arthur Hjortland the Biology Club was formed for all Biology students and other enthusiasts. The club elected Albert Sulman, ’36, president. It closed a colorful season by having a public exhibition of its projects which aroused much interest in the community. A club has been formed again this year and Harold Cramer, ’36, is president. The club members are required to work out different projects pertaining to different phases of botanical and zoological studies. Wild animals from the forests, marine, and plant life from different parts of the United States are kept alive and careful studies made of their growth and other natural changes. In addition particular attention is paid to scientific and experimental study of animal and plant species in order to visualize realistic occurrences as based on certain theories.

The yearlings, 186 strong, make themselves conspicuous by their cacklings and numbers. 5— Mr. Peck receives the Freshmen with open arms. A few were slain in the confusion. 9—Mr. Conrad is overwhelmed with the derelicts of the Senior class. Warnings are sent out to D’Elia, Kushner, and Hendel. Since then they have deserted the ship (Room 15). 10— Freshmen greeted by Mr. Underwood, and are acclaimed because of their singing ability, which resulted from their singing “The Bull Frog in the Pool.” 13— To the superstitious, Friday was a day of horrors. To most of us it was fish day. 16—Joe Ganey comes to school for the first time after emerging from the wilds of the Niantic River, and confides in Langdon some of his summer experiences. 20— Mr. Hjortland’s Biology room becomes the center of interest for the upper classmen, all because of the ape in captivity. Some looked and wondered. 23— Rifkind delivers his ultimatum to Tasca and the rest of the Whaler staff. (What do you want?) 27—Messer and Leary map out their plan of scholastic campaign, technically called the line of least resistance. 30— Boguslofsky, Gorman, and Kennedy anxiously take their bow at W. M. I. The girls afterwards came to their own conclusions. OCTOBER 1—The gym classes start in earnest, for some, and for others it was like “showers” from Heaven. 4—Reidy and Hartman begin to impose themselves on the Freshmen. Also tell them how to become seniors. 8—Chief Shipman convinces some of the boys that spontaneous combustion is apt to take place at any time, where there happens to be any pressure. Minson and Harvey took particular notice. 11— Tasca tells the boys what the Hi-Y Club is about. 12— Hollandersky, Hendel, and Rakosky take the day off to celebrate Columbus Day. 14— Mr. Hamlen tells the Seniors that life is full of anti-climaxes and that Shakespeare had the key to the solution of one’s many problems. 15— Joe Stetson mobilizes his wintergreen cross-country team. We often wonder if they bathe in it from the smell eminating below. 21— Worobey and Schaperow threaten Mr. Bishop with a law suit because his camera mutilated their appearances. Page-Clark Gable! 22— Mr. Pasquale delivers his annual message to his History classes that life is not a bowl of cherries and that there is no justice for the procrastinators. Tasca is still wondering why he used such a harsh word. 24— Bulkeley students make themselves conspicuous by eating chocolates instead of peanuts at the Empire. DeGange, W. Hamilton, and Belbruno blew themselves. 31— Commotion caused on State Street. Big crowd congregates. Glater throwing pennies on Salvation Army drum. Salvation becomes dear to some.

Why the deception? 8— Lathrop, Pope, and Natwig are seen reading “Esquire” and discussing what the well-dressed man should wear. 11—Armistice Day, for some, and for others, a day of grief, and contemplation because of the pending quarterly examinations. Mr. Orcutt speaks about Mark Twain. 13, 14, 15—Quarterly Examinations. Many, especially the lower classmen soon realize that the way of the transgressor is hard. These are the days when a Freshmen learns that a crib might have been used for other purposes. 18—The dawn of a new day. Breed, Starr, Parker, and Harvey proclaim to the world that the exams were trivial and walk-away. 22—Dube, Angelopolcus, and Ballassi are seen in the 5 and 10 cent store looking over the toys and other paraphernalia.

Numbers of students—some in your class— have had part time employment with The Day during high school years. We hope the experience thus gained has been an added benefit to the lessons that have been learned in classrooms, and will stand the alumni in good stead in time to come. As you are graduated from Bulkeley don't let this experience or The Day fade from memory, if you are to enter an academy of higher learning, let The Day keep you posted on home town events. If you are to enter business life, here or elsewhere, make The Day your favorite reading.
