We have endeavored to portray a complete cross-section view of all phases of Bulkeley School life and have kept intact the many sacred traditions of Bulkeley. We hope that all the classes that are to follow will be inspired and helped to preserve for posterity these cherished ideals. ▲ ▲ A A Pune fourteen fore Page fifteen w NORMAN DRAZEN Circulation Mgr.

Small Twenty-five years ago we were graduated, in the old Lyceum Theatre. We were the first four-year class at Bulkeley. Up to this time a diploma had been given for three years’ work. It had worked out so that no class graduated in 1911, and the people of New London had to forego the pleasure of Bulkeley graduation oratory until June. 1912. I guess we were just the ordinary, typical group of high school graduates. No one of us has yet achieved world acclaim, nor even national. But I should say that the majority have done the everyday tasks of life in a satisfactory manner, and those four years at Bulkeley had their big influence on our character and efficiency. The student body was comparatively small, numbering about one hundred and fifty, all under the watchful eye and able guidance of Principal Walter A. Towne. I remember well the learned dissertations on Latin and Greek that Mr. Towne used to give those of us who took his subjects. In those days no course would have been considered classical which did not embrace both these languages. As I look at the picture I wonder if the youth with all his ambitions, staring at me from the Bulkeley steps, would be satisfied with what I am now that these twenty-five years are behind me, or if he would be a little disappointed. Over there is one boy who was my special friend. He became an architect, and I haven’t seen him for years. That boy became an Army officer, and that one an officer in the Coast Guard. There’s one who was a City Father during his career. I see a teacher, a college professor, and a successful business man who has since died. Just a typical group who twenty-five years ago joined the long ranks of Bulkeley’s Alumni. I haven’t taken a vote from the class, but I can safely say for all of us, “Bulkeley, We thank you for those four years, for those contacts, and for the background you supplied.” I'fific twenty-nine A TRIBUTE Doctor Charles B. Graves, a member and an honor man of the class graduated at Bidkeley School in 1878, needs no tribute by admirer or friend; his life was an unbroken record of a noble character and of surpassing achievement. “Charlie Graves”, so known by his classmates and intimates, was superior in all his pursuits of mind and body. At his time, school athletics had not the professional status of today but Graves was the fleetest runner, broadest jumper, most graceful skater, and among the best at boxing and baseball. From boyhood he was devoted to outdoor life and by many years of study of trees, shrubs and flowers and of birds and beasts he acquired a naturalist’s knowledge of high order; this was his hobby—his recreation in which his wife, Frances Miner Graves, shared during many years and which he pursued to the end. As doctor of medicine, his professional associates held him in highest esteem for his training, his continuing diligent study, his skill, and especially for his treasured friendship. He won the confidence and affection of his patients by his ever-willing attention, his gentle ministration and his sympathetic care. “None knew thee but to love thee. None named thee but to praise.

The latter the loudest.” Mrs. Browning AUF WIEDERSE AAA This farewell message to you who are graduating in the class of 1937 should express the sentiment of all the members of the faculty. It is briefly this: we share and approve your pride and gratification in completing the required curriculum of Bulkeley School. It is proper for each of you to think of this as the first important accomplishment of your career. We sincerely wish it to be the foundation for happy and successful years to come. Cherish the memory and associations of your Bulkeley School days. There is abundant testimony from men who have gone before you, that Bulkeley School life has been the source and inspiration of their happiest reveries. Remember, too, that no one can go thru life without making some errors. We hope you will make our wish for you come true; namely, that the sum of your faults will be dwarfed against the bulk of your achievements. Hail and farewell, Class of 1937. May your lives be rich in comradeship and glad tomorrows. Homer K. Underwood, Head Master. Pane forty-four s HARRY ARCHER President E N I O R S CLASS OFFICERS JOHN MURRAY KENNETH MACDONALD ENRICO UGUCCIONI Vice President Secretary Treasurer Pape forty-five CLASS HISTORY The history of the Class of 1937 began in a blaze of glory when the entire class marched in the N. R. A. parade. However, unlike the ill-fated “blue eagle”, we have survived these four strenuous years with flying colors and stout hearts. Our Freshman year was unusually successful in athletic activities. To everybody’s surprise, (including our own) our baseball team emerged victorious in the interclass league, while the Freshman basketball team was the best in years. Our natural confusion in accustoming ourselves to the school, was complicated by the inauguration of the platoon system, but we bravely chose as leaders, Quarry, Walker, and Ellis. In contrast to our hectic beginning, our Sophomore year was devoid of incidents. With the grand and glorious feeling that comes only with Sophomoredom, we met Mr. Ray Reed and learned to speak distinctly. Although our class sports were not distinguished, we placed a goodly number of athletes upon school teams. Our executive staff was reversed in order as Walker was selected President and Quarry, Vice President. The Junior year of the class of ’37 was highlighted chiefly by the Junior Prom, which proved to be an artistic and financial success, and our acquaintance with Dr. Philippse and Mr. Orcutt. Again, our athletes were most active, with “Rocky” Uguccioni being placed on the All-State football team. The class officers were Robert Hughes and Howard Hauss. In the short time that we have been Seniors, we have had a successful Potpourri play and a Conference-winning football team composed mostly of Seniors. As our last year draws to a close, there will be many other activities, in which we hope to make a creditable showing. It is hard to believe that we will soon be separated; so many deep and lasting friendships have been formed to bind together our class into one friendly unit. With a creditable record in back of us, and an unknown but hope-brightened future in front of us, we look back at our stay at Bulkeley with many happy and sad memories. Without sentimentality, we realize its worth, its associations, and its benefits; it has been a training-ground for the future and now, at the climax of our stay, we only hope that next year’s senior class will preserve and uphold Bulkeley traditions so dear to us. Farewell, and carry on! Paye forty-six 19 3 7 CLASS PROPHECY In the year 1957 I returned to New London after a long absence. 1 yearned to see some old friends, and decided to look up my former schoolmates. At the foot of State Street I found Garvey lounging in his Yellow Cab. Hurrying past were Agen, the comedian, and his gigantic manager Resnikoff. Buying a paper from Hann, the city’s oldest newsboy, I discovered that a reunion was to be held at Langdon’s Club Bulkeleyanna; all members of the class of ’37 invited. The pages contained editorials by Murray and Macdonald, and all the stories of “Squealer” Rosen, the “eyes, ears, and nose of New London.” Mayor Bove of Waterford had issued a new warning to gangsters; he was being ably assisted in the drive on crime by District Attorney Mansfield. Organ-grinder Capozza had retired after his “swing” had diminished in popularity. There was an announcement of the anniversary of undertaker Douglass, who had just buried his one thousandth “inanimate patron.” A riot in Drazen’s tavern, involving Doyle and Dick low, had brought in Officers Seipel and Scarsdale. Judge Freeman and Lubow, president of New London Airways, had gone to inspect Sing Song prison, at the invitation of warden Poreda. I wandered into Wilensky’s “Dog House” where Archer was head usher. “The Plain Man”, starring Shea and Bishop, was featured. Music was rendered by Schaperow’s orchestra, which included Butler, Horowitz, and Latham. Then announcer Moltz introduced the celebrities: R. Walker, and Hauss, whose football teams were playing in the “Finger Bowl” classic; Hinkley the funny man and stooge Perkins; Hollandersky, the fattest man in the world; and the famous Communist leader, Ratska. In a parade shown in the news reel, I glimpsed General Schmidt, as well as privates Costantinou, Shafer, and Hamilton. In the comedy, Hunt, Raub, Snyder, and Blackwell played the parts of henpecked husbands. A short followed, picturing Don Macdonald, the Cowboy Crooner, accompanied by Lee. The animal trainers, Woodstock and Dewire, closed the program. Pat Walker’s hotel attracted me, and 1 took a room from clerk Gunderson. Here I met bellhop Ribchinsky, who told me of Bob Lathrop’s escapades. Somewhere below me voices were raised in song; it was Smith, Brogan, and Giordani harmonizing. Tuning in on the radio, I heard announcer Lacey advertise Lathrop cars, and then introduce Johnston’s band. Just as I was enjoying the news reporter, Ginsberg, in came Secchiaroli and Perchasky to take away the furniture, for lack of payments. Leaving in anger, I took the subway downtown; seated next to me was Millaris, as diminutive as ever. Opposite were Gustini and Hammond, the famous Olympic swimmers, with their coach Balkanskv. At the club, I met Nasser, the big linen manufacturer, and Goldfried, Bulkeley basketball coach. From Pickowitz, headwaiter, I learned that Duchette was in Hollywood, while Uguccioni, Czekala. were playing major league baseball. Levine had been exiled for inciting riots. Boly had broken all existing typing records, while Roche had gone to Washington to act as “excuse manager” for the president. Griffin was an artist of no mean ability, and Leiper and Nichols formed a new comedy team. Page forty-seven'■ 19 3 7 AGEN, LAWRENCE “Larry General Declamation Contest 1. When “Larry” starts rolling his eyes, we can’t help going into hysterics. He has an unfortunate knack of acquiring demerits fast and furiously. However, don’t let him fool you, for he is really a surprisingly good student. ARCHER, HARRY ‘Arch” Classical Class Pres. 4; Potpourri 3, 4; Latin Prize 2; French Prize 3; Harvard Alumni Prize 3; Constitution Essay 3, Chairman Senior Commencement Committee; Tom Sawyer Play 3, Literary Editor Whaler 4; Nathan Hale Play 2. Meet the president of the senior class and one of the most brilliant students in the school! The secret of Harry’s success lies in his ready helpfulness to others and his comradeship. May you have as much success in the future as you had in Bulkeley, Harry. BALKANSKY, HAROLD “Bal” Classical Class Baseball 1; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 1; Potpourri 1, 2; Bengal News 3; Hi-Y 1, 2; Bowling 4. “Bal” is a familiar figure around school with his “highwaters” and his never-failing grin. He is also much in demand at W. M. I. and is a familiar figure on the dance floor. Cheerfulness is his middle name and gloomy situations are always brightened by “Bal’s” encouragement and genial cooperation. BISHOP, ROLAND LEROY “Bish” Classical Intramural Basketball 2, 3; Potpourri 2, 3, 4; Band 3, 4; Orchestra 1, 2. “Bish” is that nonchalant fellow we see ambling so lazily to school every morning. “Bish” has perennially blossomed forth as an accomplished actor in school theatricals and many a girlish heart has beaten faster at his emoting. Who knows but we have a future Barrymore in our midst? Paf e forty-eight 19 3 7 BLACK WELL, ERUNG Erl’ Classical Intramural Basketball 3, 4. “Erl” has distinguished himself chiefly by his reticence and his studiousness. To us he is unfathomable, and he is one of those fellows who inspire the well-worn maxim, “Still water runs deep.” HOLY, RAYMOND “Ray” Commercial Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Vice President Hi-Y 3; Gregg Shorthand Award: Bookkeeping Prize 2; Corresponding Secretary Whaler 4. “Ray” is one of those determined young men who is setting scholastic records in his studies as well as winning endurance laurels with his many Whaler Secretarial responsibilities. He has won the acclamation of his classmates because of his genial personality, studiousness, and versatility as an Intramural basketball player. He has made many friends and we predict a splendid future for him. BOVE, DANTE “Dannie” Classical Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Interclass Baseball 3, 4; Plane Geometry Prize 2; Jordan Prize 1. “Dannie” is another one of our mental giants who never takes home more than two books but consistently reels off those lofty marks. He is the little Napoleon of the class, and we may find him some day a dictator of Waterford. BROGAN, JAMES HENRY “Jim” General Football 3; “Nathan Hale” 2. “Jim” is that husky and good-looking fellow stemming the mad rush at the cafeteria with one hand and miraculously balancing a couple of bottles and a plate of food on the other. With the exception of his busy lunch-hour, “Jim’s” school life is serene and unpunctuated by much excitement. Pa ye forty-nine 19 3 7 BUTLER, ROSS Bui” I Classical Track 1, 4; Cross-Country 1; Intramural Basketball 2; Potpourri 1; Hi-Y 2; Orchestra 2, 3, 4. “But” can usually be distinguished from his classmates by his colorful and vivid, to say the least, attire. “But” is also a faithful dance devotee and usually can be seen at all school social affairs. CAPOZZA, ALFRED “Al” Commercial Football 3, 4; Track 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 3, 4. We wonder what attraction Fitch holds for our dashing “Al”, with his flashing grin and “trucking” ability. Nevertheless, “Al” has done his part in school activities, participating in track and football. CONLEY, ROBERT J. Commercial Hi-Y 4. “Rabbit” “Rabbit” is efficient in whatever he undertakes and performs his duties without a great deal of clatter. Perhaps that is the reason for his important position as travelling representative of the Western Union. COSTANTINOU, THEODORE “Ted” General Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Gregg Shorthand Certificate 3, Bengal News 3, 4. “Ted’s” frequent visits to Norwich have us all wondering what the Rose City has for him. In school life, he is a familiar and popular figure, ever obliging and helpful. Page fifty 19 3 7 CZEKALA, DANIEL “Zekc1 Classical Baseball 2, 3, 4; Freshman Basketball; Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4; Varsity Club 2, 3, 4. Every teacher in the school seems to pronounce “Zeke’s” name differently, but his antics and horseplay continue unchecked. “Zeke” is the star pitcher of the baseball team and his peerless pitching has won many games. DARLING, THOMAS “Sweetheart” General One hundred Word Theory Test 4. We have just discovered the most courageous fellow in the senior class, a fellow by the name of Darling! When we first saw the word “Sweetheart” opposite the space for nicknames on Tom Darling’s biographical sheet, we immediately suspected the doings of an anonymous wiseacre. But upon inquiry, we were told with great determination that what we read should most certainly appear in the Whaler. Boy, is that guts! DEWIRE, PHILIP “Phil Classical Manager Cross-Country 2, 3, 4; Biology Club 2; Varsity Club 4. Those unearthly noises issuing from the Cross-Country room on autumn afternoons are not the efforts of a new glee club. It’s just the mad, merry combination of Garvey, Woodstock, and Dewire. “Phil” however, serves as a sort of steadying influence of the trio and his dignified demeanor and earnestness has saved his comrades from many a scrape. DICK LOW, JAMES ASHTON “Bud” General Assistant Manager Track 3; Co-manager 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3; Potpourri 3; “Nathan Hale” Play 2. “Bud’s” greatest disappointment came in his third year when She went away. Since then, he has informed us that he is a confirmed “woman-hater”, but we have our doubts. Nevertheless his good nature has not been dampened and he is still the same cheerful “Bud”. Page fifty-one 19 3 7 DOUGLASS, WALTER L., JR. “Doug- Classical Intramural Basketball 4; Potpourri 2, 3; Hi-Y 2; Photography Contest 1. “Doug” is one of the most promising scientists and mathematicians of the class, and we are sure of his success in the scientific world in later years. “Doug” possesses a dramatic flair and has been active in each year’s Potpourri. DOYLE, JOHN “Johnny” Commercial Intramural Basketball 1,2; Hi-Y 1, 3; Ass’t. Basketball Mgr. 2. During his four years at Bulkeley, “John” has set a record as being the most tardy student. However, his recent appointments as mail carrier for the office has proven him to be as reliable as “Old Ben”. His quiet manner has won for him a legion of friends. DRAZEN, NORMAN “Duke” Classical Whaler 3, Circulation Mgr. 4; Band 1, 2. 3; Glee Club 2, 3. “Duke” has enthusiastically taken the torch from Rifkind, and the old battle cry “Any money for the Whaler?” still rings out in the corridors with as much effect as of yore. After school hours, “Duke” cuts quite a figure as a shoe salesman. We look for great things in the business world for “Duke”. DUCHETTE, ROBERT I. “Duche” General Hockey 2, 3, 4; Class Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 4. “Duche” is noted for his nonchalance and his goodnature at Bulkeley and also for his good looks and smooth dancing. “Duche” is also quite an athlete and is active in sports. Paye fifty-two 19 3 7 DI R ANTI, ALBERT “Al” General Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4 “Al” is that energetic little fellow we see scurrying around looking for something to happen. “Al’s” repertoire of gags and antics stamp him as every bit a comedian as his famous namesake, the “Shnozzola”. ENRIGHT, THOMAS “Tom” Commercial Hi-Y 3, 4; Interclass Baseball 3, 4; Assistant Corresponding Secretary 4. “Tom” is one of those calm and collected young men who possess a quiet exterior. However, underneath that quiet outside crust is hidden a real personality. As an assistant typist to the Whaler he has won praise and honor. His indelible smile and his ever ready “Howdy” have won for him a host of friends. FKRGIONK, GERARD “Jerry” Commercial Interclass Baseball 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 3, Secretary Hi-Y 4. The best way to locate “Jerry” is to first find Fre-della and then you can’t go wrong for these two are inseparable in school. “Jerry” can always be depended upon to furnish some sort of amusement in classes and in the halls. FISHER. DONALD W. “Don Classical Intramural Basketball 2; Potpourri 3, 4; Cheer Leader 4. The lunchroom is “Don’s” favorite stamping ground, where his “touching” appeal and his voracious appetite comes into full play. He is a happy-go-lucky fellow and has given us many merry moments with his numerous quips. We hope the best of fortune may be his. Page fifty-three 19 3 7 “Bennie1 FREDELLA, DENNIS Commercial Interclass Baseball 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 3, 4. Somehow or other, poor “Dennie” always gets mixed up in those daily brawls in the lunchroom with Fergione, Enright, et al. Many is the time we have heard a loud crash, and have seen “Dennie” crawling feet first out of an ashcan, but grinning as widely as ever. FREEMAN, HARRY “Harry” Classical Asst. Manager Track 3, Co-manager 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Whaler Asst. 3, Biographical Editor 4. Early in his scholastic career, “Harry” came into prominence by establishing himself as one of the select few who have been a credit to the class of 1937. When not writing biographies for the Whaler, he can usually be seen worrying over his Math mark or laughing uproariously over some witticism of his classmates. The whole senior class wishes him all the success he deserves. GARVEY, JOSEPH “Joe” Classical Track 1, 2, 3, 4; Cross-Country 2, 3, 4; Captain 4; Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4; Potpourri 3; Varsity Club 3, 4; Hi-Y 3, 4; Biology Club 4; Editor, Bengal News. When “Joe” is not busy heckling Woodstock, we invariably find him trying to sneak a few mouthfuls of his lunch from under Mr. Ilamlen’s watchful eye. “Joe’ makes our school life very merry by his numerous escapades and snappy comebacks. GINSBERG. DAVID “Gins” Classical Interclass Basketball 2, 4; Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee 3; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Serenades 2, 3. “Gins” seems to us to have the real makings of a future mayor of Quaker Hill. Some of his bursts of eloquence have been truly worthy of the rostrum, and his sweet “sax” can certainly spell-bind his listeners. “Dave” has proven himself a real pal and we wish him a truly successful future. Page fifty-four 19 3 7 'Woody' GIORDANI, WOODROW General Varsity Baseball 3, 4, Interclass Baseball 1, 2; Track 2, 3. “Woody” proudly professes himself to be a charter member of the “Bookworm’s Association” and a burner of midnight oil. To which we add a polite “Oh yeah!” “Woody” is distinguished in the corridors chiefly by his resplendent ensembles. GOLDFRIED, EDWIN JOSEPH “Knobby” Commercial Assistant Manager Basketball 2, 3; Manager 4; Class Baseball 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Shorthand Award-Complete Theory Certificate. “Knobby” has acquired his nickname through the irregular contours of his cranium. “Knobby” is also a familiar figure at basketball games and has performed faithfully his many duties as basketball manager. GOODMAN, ISRAEL “Izzy” Classical Football Manager 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3. 4; Biology Club; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Whaler Assistant 3, Whaler Staff 4; Varsity Club 4. “Izzy” is one of those chubby, good-humored fellows who always manages to keep his classmates in good-humor; his gargling pronunciations and his infectious laugh are a source of delight to all. GRIFFIN, HAROLD “Griff” Classical Track 1, 2, 3, 4; Cross-Country 1; Intramural Basketball 2; Hi-Y 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee; Bowling Team 3, 4. “Griff” is one of these Bulkeley men who does his work quietly and leisurely. To some he may be slow motion personified but when it comes to social activities he is unexcelled. He possesses a keen sense of humor and is always on hand to lend his support to school activities. Page fifty-five 1 9 GUNDERSON, ROBERT Bob' Classical Basketball 2, 3, 4; Interclass Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 4; Freshman Basketball; Varsity Club 3, 4. “Appearances are deceiving,” relates the old adage, and many a rival basketball opponent has learned his lesson when the frail-looking hoy by the name of Gunderson begins shooting them in from all angles. “Bob” is the co-captain of what promises to be one of the best basketball teams in the history of Bulkeley School. GUSTINI. LOUIS Lou Classical Swimming 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 3, 4; Baseball 2, 3, 4; Bowling 4. “Lou” not only shows his skill in all the different athletic activities at Bulkeley but also is an ardent supporter of social functions. He may not be a comedian in class but he is the life of the party. He also has a way of his own with the teachers which has won him then-support. HAMILTON. RICHARD “Richie1 Classical Arriving from Tech this year, “Richie” has swiftly become an established member of the class. In this short space of time we have not had the opportunity to learn much about him, but, if first impressions are accurate, he’s all right. HAMMOND, WESLEY “Wes” General Swimming Team 1, 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Varsity Club 3. Wesley’s performances on the springboard have done !! ir ,,t°. strengthen our great swimming teams. In class Wes” is a quiet figure but as is usually the case of all quiet and reserved fellows, is a true classmate and is immensely popular. Page fifty-six 19 3 7 MANX, JOSEPH General Joe” Basketball 2; Track 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 3, 4; Interclass Baseball 2, 3, 4; Swimming; 3, 4. “Joe’s” favorite pastime these late afternoons seems to be playing; basketball with all his might, while arguing heatedly and making faces at the poor referee. However, in this case, his bark is worse than his bite, for “Joe” is a true classmate and a swell fellow. HARDING, HENRY “Henry” Classical Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4. “Henry’s” diminutive size hasn’t detracted any fame or recognition for his scholastic ability and he is the type we are all proud to call a friend. His modest manner has enabled him to persevere in the classroom in the face of all obstacles. HAUSS, HOWARD J. “Howie” Classical Football 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Secretary-Treasurer 3; Varsity Club 4; Junior Prom Committee 3. In addition to being an All-Conference guard, “Howie” is an exceptionally fine student, which in itself is a considerable achievement. His good-nature, sportsmanship, and modesty has made him one of the most popular boys in his class. HIBBARD, CHARLES “Charlie” Classical Class Baseball 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 4; Hi-Y 4. “Charlie” came to us in our Junior year and we recall him as a silent but interested spectator in Mr. Or-cutt’s English class. We don’t know much of “Charlie” but in the brief time he has been here, his likeable nature has won him many friends. Page fifty-seven 1 9 I)ode’ HINKLEY, GEORGE KRAFT Classical Cross-Country 4; Swimming Team 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 4; Varsity Club 3, 4; Hi-Y 4; Junior Mathematics Prize; Gregg Writer—40 word certificate; Baseball 3, 4. In the relatively short time “Dode” has been with us, he has been very active in extra-curricular activities and has won the friendship of the whole class. “Dode” has acquired quite a reputation for his particular brand of dry humor. HOLLANDERSKY, WARREN DONALD “Wowsy” Classical Football 2, 3, 4; Track 2; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Varsity Club 3, 4; Bowling Prize, High Average 3; Band 1, 2; Bowling Team 1, Captain 2, 3, 4. We have finally reached the conclusion that nothing can ever pierce “Wowsy’s” impenetrable good nature. “Wowsy” has become the target (what a target) of many quips about his womanly figure and has suffered manv slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,” but his hearty laughter has continued unchecked. “Wowsy” is also undoubtedly the best “bowling shark” Bulkeley has ever produced. HOROWITZ, RICHARD BERNARD “Richie” Classical Intramural Basketball 1; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 4; Bulkeley W. M. I. Band 2, 3, 4. “Richie” has distinguished himself at Bulkeley for his fine work in the band and his consistently high grades. One of the more quiet members of the class. “Richie” can always be counted on to support school activities and sports. HUNT, FRANCES HOWARD “Pete’ General Biology Club 2; Glee Club 4. A one-word description of “Pete” would be “digni fied” and he is all that. And that earnest method of talk ing he uses has quite an effect upon the teachers. W« look forward to “Pete” as a diplomat or an orator. Page fifty-eight 19 3 7 HUSHARI), FREDERICK Classical “Fred” Cheerleader 4. “Fred” is another one of our vociferous cheerleaders who have done much to promote school spirit at Bulkeley. Although he is a newcomer to our ranks, “Fred” has become popular both at Bulkeley and W. M. I. JENSEN, JOHN E. “Funk Commercial Competent Typing Test Award. “Punk” conveys the impression of quiet efficiency and his close friends can readily testify to that fact. Other outstanding characteristics of “Punk” are his quiet humor and his typing ability. JOHNSTON. HAROLD “Harold” General Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Biology Club 3, 4; Potpourri 4; Christmas Dance Committee 4; Serenades 1, 2; All New England Band 3. “Harold” is the “big noise” in the band and orchestra, with his trusty drum and paraphernalia. “Harold’s” speech and actions harmonize with his chosen instrument perfectly—short, staccato, and brisk. JORDAN, THOMAS “Tom” Classical Band 1, 2; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4. We usually run across “Tom” with his long white apron, wheeling his delivery cart, and whistling merrily. “Tom’s” future as a traveling salesman is certain to our minds. He is held in high esteem by his teachers and classmates. Page fifty-vine 19 3 7 KENYON, MORTON Mori Classical Freshman Basketball; Hi-Y 4; Interclass Baseball 2, .3, 4; Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4; Bowling 4. Although too short in stature to make the varsity basketball squad, “Mort” has made quite a name for himself with the intramural court teams. He is a familiar figure about school dances, where his pep and vitality have won him many friends. LACEY, RON AN “Ron” General “Ron” is one of those popular fellows who work hard in school, and when it is over seem to disappear. We often wonder if the success of “The Day” is due to his managerial ability. We admire him and hope that someday he will out-rival the Hearst News Syndicate. LADDEN, CHARLES AMBROSE “Red” Classical Track 4; Intramural Basketball 1. Very seldom do we see “Red” without his broad grin and his nature is just as sunnv and bright as his flaming thatch. He is also an authority on ships and many a class has been enlivened by his sea tales. LANGDON, RICHARD “Rich” General Basketball 2, 3; Hockey 3, 4; Class Baseball 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 2; Varsity Club 4; Hi-Y 3, 4; Biology Club 3; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; “Nathan Hale” Play 2. “Rich’s” hairbreadth and valiant races against the tardy bell are daily features at Room 20, but sad to relate, he usually ends up with the admit slip in hand. No matter how dark the situation, he is always ready with a dart of wit to brighten things up. Page sixtg 19 3 7 LATHAM, WILLIAM “Bill” Classical Intramural Basketball 1,2; Potpourri 4; Band 3, 4; Orchestra 3, 4; “Nathan Hale” Play 2; Track 1. “Bill” is the picture of decorum and dignity in class, but those who know him more intimately outside of class can vouch for his activity and humor. “Bill” is a fine student, and can he toot a mean “oompah” in the band! LATHROP, DONALD “Soup” General Football 2, 3, 4; Varsity Club 3, 4; Vice President Hi-Y 4; “Nathan Hale” Play 2. Many is the time that we have seen “Soup” come off the football field with a cut nose and lips swollen like miniature “zeppelins”. In spite of severe punishment, “Soup” has performed nobly on the playing field and his sportsmanship and good nature have won for him much praise. LATHROP, ROBERT THORNTON “Bob” General Football 2, 3, 4; Basketball 2; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 4; Class Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; “Nathan Hale” Play 2. When “Bob” makes his entrance into a classroom, you may be sure of an entertaining fifty minutes. He seems to have a regular repertoire of yodels, jokes, and imitations. Incidentally, after four years, we are able to detect a slight improvement in his yodeling. Keep it up, “Bob”! LAZUK, MICHAEL R. •Mike” Commercial Class Baseball 1, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 3, 4; Business Arithmetic Prize 1. Genial “Mike” is very active in interclass activities and is one of the better business men in the school. Goodnature is one of “Mike’s” outstanding characteristics, and his popularity continues undiminished. Payc sixty-one 19 3 7 LEE, HENRY NEWTON, JR. “Henry’ Classical Glee Club 4. Although many a Senior has often been given the air, “Henry” had the distinction of being on the air, playing his piano. His musical ability has found him employed writing French songs for Dr. Philippse. LEI PER, GEORGE “Leip” Commercial Freshman Basketball; Class Baseball 2; Hi-Y 4. “Leip” is our contribution to ranks of the dashing icemen of the city. His long, rangy build has helped him immeasurably in his tasks while his modesty and his cooperation has contributed much to his popularity. LEVINE, ARTHUR “Art” Classical Intramural Basketball 3, 4. “Art” has become famous as an eloquent orator who is ready and eager to argue endlessly on any subject under the sun. Sometimes his argumentation leaves him exhausted, and we all remember with glee the day he fell asleep in history class. LEVY, THEODORE “Ted” Classical Biology Club 3, 4; Hockey 3, 4; Intramural Basketbali 2, 3, 4. “Ted” will argue about anything or nothing over a prolonged length of time and his algebraic theories are understandable only to himself. However, “Ted” is an ardent supporter of all sports and attends all athletic activities. Page sixty-two 19 3 7 IA BOW, MORTIMER L. “Mort Classical Interclass Baseball 2, 4; Football 2; Intramural Basketball 2; Manager of Hockey 4; Potpourri 2, 4; Varsity Club 4; Hi-Y 4; Orchestra 1; Declamation Contest 1; Nathan Hale Play; Whaler Assistant 3, Associate Editor Whaler 4; Band 1, 2, 3, 4. “Mort” not only contributes his great journalistic ability as associate editor of the Whaler, but his writings are known from New London to Norwich. His many attributes entitle him to be called the knight-errant of ’37. We are willing to place him somewhere up front in the race called “Life”. MACDONALD, DONALD Don Classical Tennis 2, 3, 4; Hockey 4; Cross-Country 4; Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4; Potpourri 3, 4; Hi-Y 4. “Don’s” pleasant tenor voice was first discovered in last year’s Potpourri; since then he has been quite in demand and has entertained us again in this year’s Potpourri. Don’t let “Don’s” short stature fool you; he plays a mean game of tennis and is an intramural basketball star. MACDONALD, KENNETH W. “Mac Classical Tennis 2, 3, Captain 4; Hockey 2, 3, 4; Cross-Country 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4; Class Secretary 4; Whaler 3, Business Manager 4; Hi-Y 4, Chaplain. “Mac” may be of clannish origin but at heart he is as noble and generous as any big-hearted philanthropist. His ability as a tennis player has caused us to wonder about his amateur standing and the success of this year’s Whaler is due to no small degree to “Mac’s” perseverance as a business man. His winsome smile captivates. MacINTIRE. CHARLES “Mac” (ieneral If you should see a member of the class ’37 wobbling along with a salty stride, do not mistake him for yachtsman Vanderbilt as “Mac” is still an apprentice seaman. Between his job on the “Viking” and the few hours he spends in Bulkeley he is still an unknown quantity. His good naturedness is the key to his success. Page sixty-three 19 3 7 “Mac” McQuillan, Robert Commercial “Mac” emerges from the wilderness very rarely except to absorb knowledge and to root the basketball team on to victory. Occasional spurts of homespun wit have made “Mac” a reputation as another Bob Burns. MANSFIELD, ROBERT EDWARD “Rob” Classical Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Freshman Latin Prize. Here is Mr. Webster’s Dictionary (the large one) come to life! Where “Rob” picks up those polysyllabic utterings we do not know, but he certainly spouts them right and left. “Rob’s” chief interest in life seems to be memorizing history and taking great delight in informing his uninterested public such things as exactly how many people were killed in the Boxer Rebellion or what brand of tea was used at the Boston Tea Party. MILLAR IS, PETER “Pete” Classical Biology Club 2, 3; Intramural Basketball 3, 4. “Pete” has carried away all honors as being the baby of our class. However, when it comes to doing big things in a big way he is unexcelled. His interests are many and he has won fame as a biology “shark”. MINER, ROBERT C. “Bob” Classical Intramural Basketball 2; Biology Club 2. Such a fellow as “Bob” with his retiring personality and quiet manner, is an unknown quantity to us. In his own way he has continually shown his worth by whole-hearted support of class affairs and school activities. His calm outlook on life should enable him to enjoy untold success and happiness. Page sixty-four 19 3 7 MOLTZ, JACK Commercial ‘Jake” Manager Football 3; Co-Manager 4; Track 4; Class Baseball 1, 2, 3; Treasurer 1; Varsity Club 4; Hi-Y 4; Co-Chairman Junior Prom; Band 1, 2; Orchestra 2; Circulation Manager Whaler 4. Adding to his many other accomplishments, “Jake” has blossomed forth this year as a public speaker, those speeches in assembly having been nothing short of masterpieces. “Jake” is probably the busiest fellow in the school. MOUKAWSHER, JOSEPH “Joe” Classical Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Sophomore Latin Prize; League of Nations Award 3. Like the Mexican jumping bean, “Joe” can never sit in one place for more than a minute. His contortionists wrigglings and his famous wranglings over insignificant points in Latin with Doctor Philippse are daily occurrences. “Joe” has never been known as a “grind”, but he certainly can hit those high marks. MURRAY. JOHN “John” Classical Editor-in-Chief of Whaler 4. Assistant 3; Vice-President 4; Nathan Hale Play 2; Hi-Y 2, 3, 4; Track 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 2, 4; Senior Prom Committee; Freshman Orchestra; Cross-Country 3, 4. “John” can beam upon you with the most innocent expression imaginable but the stories we hear about his doings cause us to wonder. As Editor of the 1937 Whaler he has shown himself to be unexcelled by his predecessors in that he has developed a wonderful technique as an ingenious editor. This may be due to the fact that he is a student of Omar Khayyam. His alert mind and clear foresightedness will give him many more worlds to conquer. NASSER, MAURICE Classical “Maurice5 Track 3, 4; Hi-Y 4. “Maurice’s” frequent absences from school have not afforded us with much of an opportunity to acquaint ourselves with him. While he is in school, however, we know him for a pleasant and unobtrusive classmate. Page sixty-five 19 3 7 NAUTA. RUSSELI “Chick” Classical Baseball 3, 4; Basketball 3, 4; Varsity Club 3, 4; Hi-Y 4. “Chick” came to us during our third year and his modesty and comradeship made a hit with us at once. “Chick” is also active in sports. He is a varsity man in baseball and basketball. NICHOLS, HENRY “Nick” General Track 1, 2; Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4; Biology Club 2; Hi-Y 4. “Nick’s funny strut and his genial “Hi-Ya” have brightened many a dull day for us. “Nick” is quite a devotee of Intramural Basketball, and is also a budding biologist. NOYES, RICHARD ELY “Dick” Classical Band 2, 3, 4. We seem to have an abundance of the quieter members of the class engaged in making melodious uproar in the band this year. “Dick” is an excellent example of these fellows, being studious and reserved in class, but shining brightly in the band. PARCHARSKI, HENRY J. “Hank” Commercial Intramural Basketball 3, 4. Whatever “Hank” does, no matter how trivial, he accomplishes with much vitality and earnestness. He is also an enthusiastic attendant of all those mad and merry festivities called intramural basketball games at the “gym” every day. Page sixty-six 19 3 7 PERCHASKY, ALEXANDER “Alec” Classical Football 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 4; Intramural Basketball 4. “Alec” is under the impression that he is a humorist, and his slightly ancient quips have led Mr. Hamlen to assign him a quota of three jokes a day. “Alec” is a constant figure at the Friday Night Club, and his gridiron exploits have made him immensely popular. PERKINS, JAMES “Perk” Classical Hi-Y 4; Intramural Basketball 3, 4; Nathan Hale Play; Interclass Baseball 2, 3, 4. “Perk” has shown his school spirit by frequently transporting carloads of ardent rooters to foreign battle grounds. Although he is quiet and attentive in class, “Perk’s” affability and helpfulness have won for him a large circle of friends. PICK()WITZ, HENRY “Pick” Classical Intramural Basketball 3, 4. “Pick” is one of the followers of the bicycle craze that has swept the country, and can usually be seen cycling madly to school trying to beat the tardy bell. “Pick’s” interest in studies seems to be slightly apathetic but he sometimes favors us with brilliant Latin translations. POLLACK, EUGENE “Eugene” Classical Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4. Whenever we wish to straighten out a few points in our homework, we always seek out “Eugene,” and sure enough, a heated discussion always ensues. “Eugene” is an avid reader and student and his marks are well above the average. Page sixty-seven 19 3 7 POREI)A, ZIGMUND “Ziff” Commercial Shorthand Award, Bowling: 4; Intramural Basketball 3, 4; Bengal News Assistant 3; Editor-in-Chief 4. “Zig’s” faithful and industrious work on the Bengal News has been awarded this year by elevation to the editor-in-chief position. “Zig” is modesty personified, and is noted for his sober, retiring nature. RATSKA, FRED “Russian Classical Football 4; Basketball 3; Swimming Team. “Russian” is the “Salesman Sam’ of the senior class. His “gift o’ gab” plus his great variety of stock has left his customers spellbound, especially the lower classmen. “Russian” is also a budding scientist and his complicated theories come fast and furious in Chemistry class. RAUB. JOSEPH “Joe” Classical Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 4. “Joe” is one of the Bulkeley representatives in the great organization of the Boy Scouts. While not busy “patrol-leading”, “Joe” may be found performing capably with his trusty violin in the orchestra. RESNIKOFF, ISRAEL “Izzy” Classical Whaler 4; Intramural Basketball 3, 4. That rotund fellow in the middle of an argumentative knot of seniors is not Jim Farley—it’s just “Izzy”. “Izzy’s” rolling gait, his flailing arms, and his little notebook are familiar to us all. He is also quite a student and memorizes whole lessons with the greatest of ease. Page sixty-eight 19 3 7 “Lenny” RIBCHINSKY, LEONARD General Biology Club 2, 3, 4. “Lenny” has won fame with the members of his class as a biology research student and his notes and skill has saved many from shame and failure. We hope that his successor will be as proficient in aiding Mr. Hjortland with his “Zoo” exhibits. RIMASHEVSKY, MIKE “Mike” Commercial We catch occasional glimpses of “Mike”, either in his Ford or hurrying down the corridors, but on the whole we have not seen much of him at all. However, we do know' that “Mike” is a true and a loyal classmate. ROCHE, DANIEL “Dan” Classical Intramural Basketball 2. “Dan” has the biggest repertoire of alibis we have ever seen; there is one for every occasion and we are quite sure none has ever been repeated. The glibness and innocence with which “Dan” puts them over has caused a “mirthquake” in many a dull class. ROGERS, KENNETH “Ken” Classical “Ken” is the mystery man of the class, because of his frequent and prolonged absences from school. Therefore, our acquaintance with him has been somewhat limited, but close friends testify to his worth and merit. Paf e sixty-nine 19 3 7 ROGERS, WILFRED “Bill” Classical Track 1, 2; Cross-Country 1, 2; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3; Hi-Y 4; Biology Club 2; Band 2, 3, 4. “Bill” seems to be always storing his energy and wind for use in the band, for he is very quiet and reserved in class. As soon as school ends. “Bill” departs for places unknown, and we do not usually notice his presence until we hear his ambitious trumpeting when the band performs. ROSEN, NATHAN NELSON “Natie” Classical Football 2; Hockey 2, 3, Captain 4; Swimming Team 1; Tennis 1, 4. Meet Bulkeley’s reincarnation of an “Esquire” fashion plate. “Natie” is the flashy dresser of the class and we look eagerly to him for the latest fashion styles. His suave “man-about-town” manner also has its effects upon some of the lower classmen and W. M. I. SAUNDERS, ALBERT PATRICK “Pussy” Commercial Track 1; Hi-Y 3; Whaler Assistant 3; Circulation Manager 4. Where “Pussy” got his odd nickname nobody seems to know, but he continues undeterred in his efforts to scrape in the ducats for the benefit of the good old Whaler. “Pussy's” serious attitude and pleasant humor has made him one of the more popular boys in the class. SCARSDALE. LLOYD “Duke” General Interclass Baseball 3, 4; Hi-Y 4. “Duke” came to us last year, and it hasn’t been until this year that we have really known that under his dignified and innocent exterior, he is full of good spirits and humor. “Duke’s” angelic expression while up to one of his pranks has fooled many a teacher and even his classmates. Pa ye seventy 19 3 7 “Hurt SCHAPEROW, BURTON Classical Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Bulkeley— W. M. I. 2, 3, 4; Serenaders 1, 2, 3; Concert-master 3; All-Connecticut Orchestra 4, Potpourri 3, 4. “Burt” is undoubtedly the best musician in the class, with many awards and prizes as proof. He seems to play everything well, even the lowly “potato”. “Burt” also has the makings of a first-class politician. SCHMIDT, VICTOR A. G. “Vic” Classical Intramural Basketball 4; Swimming Team 4; Tennis 4. In the short time that he has been with us, “Vic” has acquired quite a reputation as a mathematician and his grades prove the rumors. What we know of “Vic” outside of school is very little except a broad, cheerful grin and a “hello”! SECCHIAROLI, ALBO “Sec” Classical Football 2, 3, 4; Basketball 2; Track 2, 3, 4: Intramural Basketball 3; Varsity Club 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 4; Junior Prom Committee 3; Swimming Team 1, 2, 3, 4. “Sec” is one of the reasons why the class of ’37 may point to its athletic achievements with pride. When not shining in athletic encounters, “Sec” can usually be found wandering from room to room humming “The Organ Grinder’s Swing” and doing a little impromptu “truck-ing . SEIPEL, NORMAN “Sip” Classical Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Interclass Baseball 3, 4; Senior Hi-Y. “Sip” is an active participant in interclass sports, distinguishing himself chiefly in intramural basketball and class baseball. He is a true athlete, modest, and unassuming, and possesses true sportsmanship. Page seventy-onc 19 3 7 SHAFER. STANLEY “Stan Classical There seems to be three definite sections of every class; the noise-makers, the fairly quiet fellows, and the really quiet and reserved fellows. To the latter section belongs “Stan” who accomplishes his work regularly and soberly, while winning friends by his quiet humor and congeniality. SHEA. JOHN J. “Jack” General Potpourri 3, 4; Hi-Y 3; Biology Club 2; Bengal News 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 3, 4; Shorthand Award. “Jack” is very active in a widely-diversified field of activities; but to our minds, his outstanding work has been in the Potpourri for the last two years, where his excellent performances in dramatic parts have won for him plaudits from seasoned theatre-goers. SMITH, HAROLD “Smitty” Classical “Smitty” has a way of sitting back and letting the other fellow do all the talking and in this way he keeps his ears open and learns a lot. He is of a quiet nature and is esteemed by all of us. We wish him much success. SMITH, LEONARD “Smitty” Classical Football 2, 3; Track 1; Cross-Country 2; Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4; Class Baseball 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 4. To us, “Smitty” always seemed the personification of nonchalance and worldliness. Otherwise, we see very little of “Smitty” and he is somewhat of a mystery to us all. However, there may be a blonde in the case. Page seventy-two 19 3 7 SNYDER, ADOLF JOSEPH “Ado” Classical Biology Club 3, 4. One of the chief combatants in the civil war that raged recently in the back seats of Room 20 was “Ade”, the class shadow of ’37. From that fray “Ade” emerged unscathed and has kept us busy laughing ever since over his innocent antics and “deadpan” gags. SULLIVAN. ROBERT K. “Boh” General Potpourri 3, 4; Hi-Y 2; Dramatic Prize 2; Stage Manager 2, 3; “Red Mill” and “Nathan Hale”. “Bob” is that tall fellow with the “basso-profundo” voice whom we see striding hurriedly around the school. Ilis invaluable work as stage-manager and actor in dramatic offerings was rewarded by the Dramatic Prize in the second year. UGUCCIONI, ENRICO “Rocky” Commercial Interclass Baseball 1; Baseball 2, 3, 4; Football 2, 3, 4; Basketball 2, 3, 4; Class Secretary 1; Treasurer 4; Varsity Club 2, 3, 4. Not content with being one of the finest football players the school has produced, “Rocky” has developed into the spark-plug and co-captain of this year’s basketball team. Everybody seems to know and like “Rocky” and he is perhaps the most popular boy in the class. VERKADE, JOHN “Johnny” Commercial Track; Swimming Team 2, 4. “Johnny” is an example of the quiet, hardworking students who are really the backbone and foundation of the class. We are certain of a bright future for “Johnny” in the business world and we wish him the best of luck. Page seventy-three 19 3 7 WALKER, PATRICK “Pat” Classical There can be no doubt that “Pat” is the quietest fellow in the class. While the rest of the school is filling the lunchroom with noise, “Pat” can always be seen reading his textbook intently. “Pat” is one of the favored few who have taken six subjects and passed. WALKER, RICHARD “Dick” Classical Class Baseball 1; Football 2, 3, 4; Freshman Basketball 2, 3, 4; Track 1, 2, 3, 4; Vice President 1; President 2; Varsity Club 2, 3, 4; President Hi-Y 4; Chairman Junior Prom Committee. “Dick” is another one of those immortal Bulkeley athletes who has inscribed his name on our scroll of fame. He has been a sincere supporter of all Bulkeley activities and has occupied many responsible positions. In spite of his class duties he has found time to become a social lion and the “Fred Astaire” of his class. His pleasing attitude and democratic manner has won him a host of friends. WASSMER. LEONARD “Wassie” Classical Football 4; Baseball 4; Intramural Basketball 4. “Wassie” is also a recent transfer to our ranks, hailing from our New Haven rival, Hillhouse. In spite of his late arrival, “Wassie” has gone in for several sports and activities, and his cheerful grin and good nature are familiar to the whole class. WHITE, FRED “Whitey” Commercial Track 4; Hi-Y 4; Intramural Basketball 3, 4. Usually, high-school nicknames make no sense at all; but we are certain that no nickname describes this fair-complexioned, white-haired, white-named senior, more completely than “Whitey”. His sense of humor and pleasant grin are well-known not only here but also with our illustrious neighbors on Broad St. Page seventy-four 19 3 7 WHITE, JOHN Jack Commercial Interclass Baseball 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 4. “Jack” is one of those fellows who never sees the dark side of things, and who continually cheers up his classmates by some quip or prank. “Jack” has also definitely proven during his four years at Bulkeley that he can “take it”. WI LENSKY. LEO “Leo” Classical Baseball 3, 4; Interclass Baseball 1, 2; Intramural Basketball 3, 4; Hi-Y 4. “Leo” has become noteworthy because of the creditable way in which he has handled his baseball catching assignments. Eventually we hope to find his name among those of the big league hall of fame. His good fellowship qualities have endeared him to all who have been associated with him. WOODSTOCK, ROBERT HAMILTON ‘ Bob” General Manager Cross-Country 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 1; Biology Club 2; Hi-Y 2, 3, 4. It’s lucky there’s only a cemetery next to Bulkeley for when “Bob” gets “wound-up” and let’s go his celebrated war-whoop, the commotion begins. “Bob” seems to fairly brim over with good spirits; his brilliant repartees and lunch-eating races with Garvey have been a source of delight to all. WYATT, HUGH ERIC “Pete” General Track 3; Hockey 1; Cross-Country 2; Biology Club 3. “Pete” is a very active member of the hilarity twins, Wyatt and Zaradnik. “Pete’s” fame as a comedian rests chiefly in his proficiency at his arid humor and his activities in the back seat of Room 9. However, he is at his best with h s peerless imitations of faculty members and many a freshman has been scared out of his knickers by “Pete’s” gruff and rumbling monologues. Page seventy-five 19 3 7 ZARADNIK, JOHN ‘Johnny Classical English Composition Prize 3; Glee Club 3, 4. “Johnny” always seems to be at the bottom of things, even the alphabet. When we hear strange rumblings and murmurings in the back of the room and see that certain gleam in his eye, we know that things will happen fast and furiously. His incredulous and surprised, “Who me, Doc?” has become a classic of Room 23. One ship drives east and another drives west, While the self-same breezes blow. It’s the set of the sails, and not the gales That bids them where to go. Like the winds of the seas, are the ways of the fates As we voyage along through life. It’s the set of the soul, that decides the goal, And not the storms or the strife. Anon age seventy-six JUNIORS CLASS OFFICERS CHARLES QUARRY President ZIGMUND WIEZOREK Secretary-Treasurer ARMANDO BALDELLI Vice President Page seventy-seven JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY After having undergone the joys and sorrows experienced as Freshmen and again as Sophomores, we now begin to realize our importance as Juniors, and are ready to assume the responsibilities placed upon us as heirs-apparent to the Senior throne. Happy as we are at being Juniors, we are a bit sorrowful as we realize that we only have one more year to remain in Bulkeley—home of happy acquaintances. Last year, as Sophomores, we were picked to win the interclass baseball championship. This choice was, alas, finally proven unjustified, for the Seniors won the championship and we had to be content with our record of three wins and three defeats. This was due, perhaps, to the advancement of several players to the varsity squad in the middle of the season. Upon our return to Bulkeley this season we were again faced with the necessity of choosing class officers. When the results of the election had been tabulated, Charles Quarry had been elected president; Armando Baldelli, Vice President; and Zigmond Wiezorek, Secretary-Treasurer. On the football Conference Championship team, were Baldelli, Quarry, Grippo, Bychkowsky, Wiezorek. Naturally, the first quarterly examinations took their annual toll but we promise to be better prepared for future exams. Our presentation in the fifteenth annual Potpourri was well received. Ably coached by Mr. Hjortland, we presented, “The First Dress-Suit”. The players were Fenner Douglass, Joseph Corcoran, Andrew Speziali, and Stockman Barner. Special mention was given Joe Corcoran who superbly acted his role of a seventeen year old young man impressed with his own importance. The basketball season finds quite a representation of Juniors on the team. Included among them are Fred Grippo, Jack Mathews and Ralph Levine. .... Times a’wastin’! Our future is ahead of us. So we’ll say “Good bye, until we meet again, as Seniors.” 19 3 7 Page seventy-eight CLASS OF 1938 Alter, Haskell French, Allen O’Connell.

Many of us that came from out of town had never even seen Bulkeley. During the first week or so, we spoke excitedly of our rooms, teachers, and our subjects, but as work commenced we forgot that we were only freshman and we became a part of Bulkeley School. As the athletic teams were formed, we found that in our very midst we had such stars as Paul Skrigan, Vernon Faddan, Paul Gerity, and Walter Wainwright. Even our freshman basketball team had a fairly good season. Our next undertaking was the potpourri. We gave a play entitled, “Sparkin’ ”, which due to Mr. Hjortland’s good coaching received second prize. Through that stormy first year Thomas Donovan and Victor Shel-burn navigated us to a successful start as students of Bulkeley School. With a few exceptions we returned this year feeling quite important. We elected Skrigan, Connor and Donovan as our class officers. The quarterly examinations took a bit of the starch out of us but as a whole we did pretty well. The football season saw many Sophomores try out for the team. Some were cut and some were kept. Skrigan and Gerity played well during the season. Under the able tutelage of Ray Reed, we presented a one act play entitled “The Bishop’s Candlesticks”. Those appearing were John Connor, Charles Schulze, Alfred O’Berne, Bernard Wolfe and Paul Gerity. Individual rewards were given to Charles Schulze and Alfred O’Berne. Basketball season rolls around and we find that Skrigan is playing varsity center, and Clark plays varsity forward. We are now studying hard for the mid-year exams and all the others to follow. Soon we’ll be Juniors and then, we hope, Seniors. Our lives are being shaped and when we reach the outside we’ll always remember the years spent at Bulkeley. Stop me or I’ll wax sentimental and we still have two or more years. Page eighty-two 19 3 7 CLASS OF 1939 Adel, Melvin Anger, Paul Baline, Russell Bellefleur.

Of course, most of us had an overestimated opinion of ourselves, but a few weeks of association with the more august Seniors helped to correct this grave fault. Of course, we had to be initiated into the seventh period detention fraternity. Our loafing in the cafeteria during recitation periods was rewarded by an invitation to the “Bastille”. Since then we have tried to limit our appearances there. One of the first acts of the Freshman Class was the election of class officers. There was the usual amount of electioneering, and after the excitement was over and the ballots had been counted it was found that Graham Nibbs had been elected President, that John Cullen was Vice President, and Robert Leary was Secretary-Treasurer. The first-quarterly examinations took the class by surprise, but we speedily recovered and passed with flying colors—at least most of us. We are all looking forward hopefully to the successful beginning of four years of supremacy in Potpourri competition. In the field of sports we have several fellows who may develop into athletic heroes. Our basketball team will, we hope, continue to uphold the prestige of former “frosh” teams. With apprehensive but hopeful hearts we face the future and what it holds in store for us. We shall try to exemplify that spirit with which Bulkeley men have always been identified. We hope, in the years to come, to be able to uphold the traditions and ideals of this grand school that we are proud to attend. “I plan for the future I yearn for the past And meanwhile the present Is leaving me fast.” Page eighty-six 19 3 7 Abrams, Harold Albin, Raymond Anderson, Edward Apanaschik, George Bach, Carl Baker, Richard Baratz, Morton Barry, John Baton, George Beckman, Darold Beebe, William Belcher, William Belhumeur, John Berkowitz, Herman Bidwell, Theodore Bishop, Kenneth Blais, Louis Blake, Walter Boska, Stephen Bosky, Walter Brax, Richard Brennan, Joseph Brown, Donald Brown, Frank Burdick, Donald Burdick, Earl Burgess, Robert Burke, Frank Cadwell, Fred Canning, Lawrence Care, Ernest Carey, Charles Carlson, Felix Carpenter, John Chernik, George Chipman, Franklin Cicirelli, Vincent Clarkin, Thomas Condon, Thomas Connors, David Constantine, Thomas Cook, Emory Cook, Morgan Cook, Thomas Cranker, Douglass Cullen, John Cupello, Charles Cuprak, Lucian Darber, Donald Darrow, Leroy Davis, Howard Decker, Joseph DeLaura.

McGinley Cornelius C. Costello BULKELEY ATHLETIC FIELD, INC. Nine years ago through the kind generosity of Mr. Frederic W. 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 Bulkeley’s most esteemed graduates. They became the incorporators of Bulkeley’s splendid gift. The incorporators were Cornelius C. Costello, Alfred Ligourie, Morris Lubchansky, 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 appoint- Frederic W. Mercer 19 3 7 TIC ASSOCIATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS Arthur H. Shurts Samuel M. Prentis Homer K. Underwood ment 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, Secretary; Samuel Prentis was chosen to be Graduate Athletic Manager; and Arthur H. Shurts, Treasurer. Each year a student representative is chosen from the student body. Under Mr. Shurts’ 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 health-building which are essential for individual growth and well-being in preparation for the playing of the game of life.

Spaulding Page ninety-five 19 3 7 So nigh is grandeur to our dust, so near is God to man, When Duty whispers loir, “Thou must” the youth replies “I can” —Emerson FOOTBALL FOOTBALL 1 937 Charging through a stiff, eight-game schedule, the Bulkeley team emerged with an almost perfect season due to the able direction of Coaches O’Brien and Collins. Just to start things off in the usual Bulkeley way, the Tigers bore down on the Hillhouse team and sent them home with a 20-6 defeat. The score clearly indicates the combined alertness, power, and deception of the Orange and Black. Harry Bychowsk.v snatched a pass out of the air and ran twenty yards for the first touchdown. Albo Secchiaroli, allconference fullback, placed-kicked the extra point. He then proceeded to make the next touchdown after a forty-six yard march. Skrigan snatched “Sech’s” 25 yard pass to sprint for the final touchdown. Our boys next handed Stonington a 12-0 defeat on a wet, muddy field. Two other touchdowns were nullified through penalties. Returning to their home field, the Bulkeleyites battled Woodrow Wilson to a 6-6 tie. Not till the last quarter did we succeed in tying the score. Bulkeley’s offense was slow starting, and for that reason we only gained a tie; the ball was on the Presidents’ one foot line when the final whistle blew, and if time had remained for one more play, we undoubtedly would have won. Unsatisfied with their latest showing, the Tigers invited Windham to come here and then proceeded to trounce Callaghan’s boys, 26-0. Touchdowns were made by MacDougall, Secchiaroli, and Gerity, who scored twice. The boys were animated by Mr. Pierce’s musicians and Perrone’s vociferous cheering. These groups made their debut at this game. This was the second conference win for the team. Traveling to Waterbury, the Tigers were given their first set back of the season at the hands of Crosby 19-7. The team work was ragged and the blocking and tackling lacked the finesse which had been evident in the earlier games. Seeking revenge Bulkeley’s mighty football juggernaut trimmed a scrappy Fitch team 26-0, breaking the longest winning streak in Fitch’s history. The orange-jerseyed players at first could barely pierce the impregnable Fitch defense, but through alertness and deception, the Tigers scored four touchdowns. Harry Bychowsky scored first by intercepting a Fitch pass and dashing 20 yards to the promised land. Dick Walker, not to be outdone, received a punt on the 40 yard line and twisted his way over the goal line. Howard Hauss was voted the most valuable player on the winning team and was awarded the football used in the game. Sure of at least a tie for championship honors, due to the withdrawal of Norwich from the conference, Bulkeley entered the Tech affair with perhaps an air of indifference. But that appearance soon changed. Receiving the opening kick-off, the Tigers conducted an 80 yard march which ended with Secchiaroli taking the ball over for a touchdown. He failed to convert the extra point. For three quarters the two teams battled back and forth. Brilliant end runs by Skrigan, and line bucks by Secchiaroli through holes ripped open by the strong forward wall, displayed the power of the Orange and Black. Only in the final quarter was Tech able to score. Page ninety-eight 19 3 7 FOOTBALL TEAM 1937 Backfield Skrigan Baldelli Walker..... Secchiaroli Position Left Half Right Half Quarter Back ....

The game ended 6-6 and once again the boys of Bulkeley had attained the title of conference champions. The Tigers now pointed to complete their championship, morally, by defeating their old rival, Norwich Free Academy. Begun in the 1870’s, the gridiron rivalry between Bulkeley and Norwich Free Academy is the oldest of its kind in the country. The Bulkeleyites traveled to Norwich; Band, Students, and all, to cheer the team on. Capitalizing on three N. F. A. fumbles in the first quarter, the Tigers took the lead when Dick Walker carried it over on a pass from Secchiaroli. Uguccioni kicked the extra point. Bulkeley completely out-played N. F. A. in the first half of the game, but the Wildcats uncorked a second half drive that ended in a 12-7 victory for them. The N. F. A. fans, however, heaved a great sigh of relief when the final whistle sounded, for Bulkeley was causing much trouble in a vain determined effort to tame the Wildcats. Secchiaroli, Hauss, Walker, Uguccioni, “Don” Lathrop, and Quarry, secured positions in the allconference grid selections, while Uguccioni, Secchiaroli, and Hauss received honorable mention on the all-state team. An innovation at Bulkeley this year was the taking of moving pictures of football games. This was done at the Bulkeley-Tech game. They were shown to the players and coaches who, in turn were able to find mistakes or “faux-pas” so to speak. Our precedent has been followed by Stonington and Fitch. Following the precedent set by Norwich Free Academy, the football teams in the Eastern Connecticut circuit will inaugurate spring football practice. The Bulkeley team will practice at Mercer Field, working on the tackling and blocking dummies. The fundamentals of the game will be stressed over a period of three weeks. At the end of the training season, the team may engage in a round-robin tournament with the other teams of the circuit. Ass’t. Coach Edward P. Collins Bottom Row, left to right—Perchasky, D.

BASEBALL 1936 Bulkeley’s baseball outlook for 1936 at first was not what it had been in past years. Only four lettermen were available and three of them were pitchers, thus necessitating the development of new players in seven positions. Out of the fourteen games played, the Orange and Black broke even, winning seven and losing seven. Opening the Conference season in its usual way, Bulkeley routed Stonington 12-4 with Czekala and Caron holding the foe to only five hits. To prove to the coach that a green team doesn’t take long to ripen, the boys defeated the New London Business College 4-2 after a hard fought battle. Both teams connected for a total of 14 hits, seven being doubles. The Tiger victory was marked by two snappy double plays that cut off threatening rallies. Because of a ragged first inning, Bulkeley bowed to Windham in our second conference game 8-1. Ray Ham relieved Danny Czekala in the second inning, and held the enemy scoreless for eight innings, making a total of 13 scoreless innings for him. Somewhat abated by this set back, Bulkeley rallied, in the eighth inning to whip Saybrook 11-7. The Tigers used four pitchers to Sa.vbrook’s two. Bernie Edgeley reached first on an error, Wilensky reached base on a fielder’s choice, and Jack Leary walked to fill the bases. “Vic” Losacano singled and Ray Ham doubled to bring home the four winning markers. On May 5th, the Orange and Black handed Fitch a 16-2 drubbing for our second conference win. Bulkeley stretched six hits into sixteen runs and also staged a spectacular triple play for the fans which completely killed the Fitch morale. The second inning rally in which Bulkeley scored 8 runs settled the outcome of the game beyond doubt. Chapman Tech blanked Bulkeley 8-0 in a game in which Bulkeley secured but two hits. The Tiger pitching was wild and the fielding ragged, breaks which Tech made use of. Still under the effects of the last game, Bulkeley was defeated by Hartford Public High only after the Hartford boys had worn themselves weary in quelling a Bengal uprising. Although the Tigers were defeated, they showed more batting punch than expected and rallied effectively near the end of the contest to tally four times and place the tying runs on base in the final frame. Our traditional rivals, Norwich, defeated us 5-2 in our next game. Norwich had no easy time, however, with the Tigers, who played inspired baseball behind some commendable hurling by Danny Czekala, and pounded the N. F. A. hurler for four hits in the eighth to send chills up and down the spines of the Norwich rooters. Feeling that three defeats in a row were too much, the Tigers whipped Stonington in a return game 7-1. Freddy Grippo was the Bukeley hurler and his splendid moundsmanship was deserving of a shut out. Bulkeley rapped out nine hits, for three runs in the third and four in the Page one hundred six 19 3 7 eighth. Only one error, the one which permitted the enemies’ only run, marred the Tiger’s record. “Vic” Losacano and Bernie Edgely made a triple and double respectively. Norwich blanked us in a return game 4-0. Actually Coach Whitney’s boys earned only one run as Danny Czekala kept the hits well scattered over nine innings. Bulkeley again proceeded to swamp Fitch in a return conflict, 14-3. Smacking out fourteen hits and taking advantage of seven Fitch errors, Bulkeley came back in the seventh after a shower interrupted the game to blast the offerings of the Fitch hurler to all corners of the field. Fitch collapsed in the field and the Tanager pitcher lost control to help the Tigers go on a run-fest that netted 13 runs in four innings. Uguccioni was the Bulkeley batting hero, smacking a home run with bases loaded. Chapman Tech blanked us in a return game 6-0. As in the other Tech game, our pitching was wild and we only secured five hits. Windham handed us our seventh defeat 5-3, giving us fourth place in the conference. Flashy fielding by the Tigers clipped off other Windham scores, however, and Jack Leary and Louis Gustini turned in excellent fielding performance. In the last game of the season, the Tigers blanked Hillhouse 5-0 as Danny Czekala pitched the greatest game of his career by fanning ten opponents and allowing only two hits. “Vic” Shelburn, freshman shortstop accepted seven chances without a miscue, while Bulkeley bats boomed in a manner that displayed much effective practice. Hinkiey and Leary came through with singles with bases loaded to account for four of the runs. Twelve boys received Varsity letters for Baseball. They were David Bedford. Victor Losacano, Jack Leary, Enrico Uguccioni, Daniel Czekala, Frederick Grippo, Leo Wilensky, Chick Nauta, Bernard Edgeley, George Hinkiey, Louis Gustini, and Manager Salvatore Tasca.

Four wins and ten defeats were the results of a hard fought lengthy season. The schedule opened with the annual alumni game. The former sons of Bulkeley handed our team a 37-16 defeat. Seeking revenge, the Tigers trounced Saybrook 34-16. Bassick overcame Bulkeley 28-20. Thought to be on a downward path, the Bulkeleyites tripped Windham 33-32. Nick Verbillo was the hero of the evening by his sensational foul shot, made after the final whistle, breaking a tie. The Tigers traveled to Hartford to be presented with a 36-25 defeat by Weaver. The Norwich Wildcats trounced Bulkeley 35-13. Bulkeley returned to the winning column by toppling Fitch 38-28. Scoring as they pleased, the Bulkeley cagers held a first quarter lead throughout the game. Captain Jack Leary set the pace by making 14 points. An improved and inspired Bulkeley team handed the New London Business College a 42-37 defeat after a most exciting game. Captain Jack Leary, Bulkeley ace, won the game by tying the score at the final whistle on a free throw and then scoring four of the Orange and Black’s six points during the overtime. Chapman Tech repulsed the inspired Tigers by trouncing them 35-18. Jack Leary, Rocky Uguccioni, and Nick Verbillo were the Bulkeley standouts. The long range shooting of this trio accounted for all the Tiger’s points. The Bulkeleyites traveled to Bridgeport to receive a 25-16 defeat from Bassick. Windham avenged its earlier defeat by turning on us 30-21. Fitch, catching the winning fever, upset Bulkeley 40-30. Verbillo and DeGange shared Bulkeley honors, each sinking 6 points. The Tigers entered the Norwich game revitalized by the injection of new material and succeeded in causing considerable trouble before being edged out 22-19. Determined at least to prevent Tech from clinching the Conference title, Bulkeley placed a team on the “Y” court that staged one of the most sensational comebacks ever performed by an Orange and Black team. Successive tap-off plays gave Tech an 18-5 advantage in the third quarter, but Bulkeley, led by Paul Skrigan and Ken Fadden, swung into action and hung up 13 points to deadlock the score at quarter-time. Fadden put Bulkeley in front by a basket in the opening minutes of the final quarter, but Tech guns commenced to boom and Bulkeley was halted while the Huskies piled up a 27-22 defeat on us. Nine varsity men besides manager Dickinson received major letters. They were: Captain Jack Leary, Nick Verbillo, Bob Gunderson, Fred Grippo, “Rocky” Uguccioni, Dick Walker, Jack Mathews, Paul Skrigan, and Kenneth Fadden.

Whipping the boys into fine shape, he entered fifteen in the annual Wesleyan Meet. Ivar Pearson won the kilometer run in 2:51.1 while Dom Zito proceeded to obtain third place in the 50 yard dash, after tying the state record of 5.2 in his semi-final heat. All in all, Bulkeley scored 7 points against stiff competition. Bulkeley’s track and field team opened its official interscholastic track campaign against Fitch with a 66-49 win. Dom Zito, in his usual fine form, won the 100 yard dash and the 220 yard run, while Paul Skrigan took pole vaulting honors at 9 feet 9 inches and jumped 5 feet 4 inches to win the high jump. Ivar Pearson, Walt Wainwright, and Joe Garvey made a spectacular finish to the mile run by drawing abreast and clasping hands for a triple tie and a win. Sec-chiaroli, Schaperow, and Armus took the first three places in heaving the discus, while Garity won the broad jump. In the meet with Norwich Free Academy, the Tigers were set back 67-41. Bulkeley, however, scored well in the running events, Dom Zito winning the 100 yard dash, Buxton winning the 880 yard run, Ivar Pearson the mile run, and Buxton the low hurdles. On May 5, the Bulkeley trackmen invited Hillhouse to New London only to lose to them 70 1 2 to 28 1 2. We did, however, manage to win two first places. Paul Skrigan won the 220 yard dash, and Ivar Pearson won the mile. Desiring to avenge these defeats, the Orange and Black tracksters traveled to Kingston, Rhode Island where they won the out-of-state championship with a total of 31 5 6 points. Dom Zito won the 100 yard dash and came in fourth in the 220; Ted Buxton won the 880 yard run; Paul Skrigan won the 220, placed third in the broad jump and tied for fourth place in the pole vault; Dick Walker took second place in the 440 and the 220 low hurdles; Pearson placed second in the mile; and Nel Sandgren placed second in the 120 high hurdles. Messer tied for second in the high jump. ft 19 3 7 Seated, left to right—Skrigan, Wainwright, Buxton, Captain Pearson, Zito, R. Walker, Reidy.

Next came the state meet at New Haven where the boys placed fourth in class A with 171 2 points. However, this score does not show what an excellent performance of running our boys gave. As usual, Dorn Zito placed in the 100 yard dash—this time fourth. Buxton and Skrigan took Bulkeley honors. Buxton won the 880 yard run, and Skrigan tied for first place in the pole vault. We placed second in the relay, while Pearson came in fourth in the mile run. As usual, in the course of the conference meet, records were broken. As is Bulkeley’s habit, the Tiger trackmen broke two of the five smashed records. Ted Buxton set a new mark of 2:04.3 in the half-mile, and Ivar Pearson broke his mark of last year (4:42.5) by one second in winning the mile in four minutes and 41 seconds. The meet was a two team fight between Bulkeley and Norwich Free Academy with the latter finally out-scoring us 47 1 4 to 42. Bulkeley outscored the champions in running, however, by winning first places, six to four. To prove this, Zito won the 100 yard dash; Skrigan the 220; Buxton the 880; Pearson the mile; and Walker the 220 yard hurdles. Skrigan, Zito, Reidy and Buxton together won the 880 yard relay. Much credit is due to the new track coach, Joseph Stetson, for his good work in placing such a fine track team on the field in his first season as coach. Lettermen were: Captain Ivar Pearson, Nelson Sandgren, Girard Messer, Edward Buxton, Robert Reidy, Henry Armus, Matthias Bishop, Farley Schaperow, Wells Lawrence, Lawrence Rifkind, Dorn Zito, Paul Skrigan, Walter Wainwright, Joseph Garvey, and Albo Secchiaroli. 19 3 7 Page one hundred eighteen MINOR SPORTS SWIMMING CROSS-COUNTRY HOCKEY INTERCLASS (Baseball) FRESHMEN (Basketball) FRESHMEN (Baseball) BOWLING COACHES AND SUPERVISORS Ernest W.

Henry Shay, Interclass Baseball SWIMMING 1935-1936 The Bulkeley Swimming Team under the coaching of Arthur B. Conrad of the faculty, experienced a somewhat mediocre season. However, we were able to receive first places in all but two meets. The Bulkeley mermen opened the season by defeating Meriden 39-32 with Pope, Taylor, and Secchiaroli winning honors in the medley relay. Warren Harding defeated us 42-33 in our next meet. Still under the influence of this defeat we let Trinity defeat us 39-36 but not without our winning the free style relay. Hartford Public High invited the Bulkeley swimmers all the way to Hartford to hand them a 51-24 defeat. The New Haven Commercial meet was canceled. In spite of the good work of Pope, Taylor, and Hammond in securing first places, Crosby beat us 43-32. The Hillhouse meet was also canceled. Due to traveling conditions the West Haven meet was also canceled. Returning to the winning column with a bang, the Bulkeley tanksters trounced Manchester, 42-30. Pope, Secchiaroli, Jim Lathrop, Alex Worobey and Stan Taylor copped first places. Envigorated by this victory our mermen proceeded to down the Trinity Jay-vees in a 50-25 score. In this meet we won the 120 yard relay, 160 yard free style relay, 220 free style, 40 yard free style, the dives, 100 yard free back stroke. Now well situated on victory street, trounced the Conn. State freshmen 51-20. To end the season, ten swimmers were sent to the Conn. Interscholastics at Yale University where we obtained 6 places. No point score was kept of the meet but the Bulkeley delegation would have taken third place. All ten swimmers reached the finals, which in itself is a record to look up to. We took no first places in this meet. During the season, the free style relay team consisting of Louis Gustini, Stan Taylor, James Lathrop and Albo Secchiaroli entered the state interscholastic relay held in connection with the annual Yale water carnival. The boys succeeded in winning fourth place.

Clinching the conference title for the third consecutive time the team gained 7 victories. Our opening meet with Tech netted us a 7-3 victory. Gordon Beckwith and Kenneth Macdonald won the No. 1 doubles and Gil Holiandersky and Russ Beckwith won the No. 2 doubles. Playing another home meet, the team defeated Norwich 6-1. Bulkeley won every singles set and lost only one doubles. Preferring to home courts, the boys suffered a defeat from Hillhouse 2-7. Somewhat abated by this set back, we lost to New Britain 0-5. Being in the losing column did not suit Mr. Gagnon’s netmen so they edged Norwich out for a 4-3 victory. The Macdonald brothers stood out in this match by coming from behind in their singles sets to win for Bulkeley. Back again in the winning streak Bulkeley handed Manchester a 3-2 defeat on the Manchester courts. Next followed the William Hall match which Bukeley won 5-1. In a convincing manner, Bulkeley defeated W’indham by the score of 4-1, winning all the single matches and one Coach Gagnon of the doubles. The next day the team traveled to Hartford and received a 0-6 upset from Hartford Public High. Tech beat us in a return match 3-4. At the Connecticut State Interscholastic Tennis Tournament Gordon Beckwith managed to reach the semifinal before being eliminated. The conference meet was held June 12-13 with Bulkeley emerging, undisputed victors with 32 points. In the annual scholastic team tournament Gordon Beckwith defeated Gil Holiandersky to retain his conference singles championship title for the second successive year. Pairing with Ken Macdonald, he also won the doubles championship for the second time.

CROSS-COUNTRY The 1936 Cross-Country season was one of the best in the history of the sport. In two dual meets Bulkeley was undefeated, and placed very highly in competition with the best schools in the East. The first meet was with Norwich, defending state and conference champions. A strong Bulkeley team scored an 18-37 victory over its traditional rivals. At the first annual Invitational Meet at Connecticut State, we took second place in a field of thirteen teams. Three of our men were in the first ten of the ninety-two runners. Bulkeley finished third in the annual meet at Troy. Forty teams with two hundred and sixty-five contestants, representing five states, were entered in this race, and in the scoring we placed only behind teams of national championship caliber. The final meet of the season was a dual affair with Chapman Tech, won by Bulkeley, 20-35. The Conference championship was awarded to Bulkeley because of our decided superiority in dual competition, after a postponement of the meet due to inclement weather conditions. Since three of the first six men were freshman, the outlook for the next three years is very promising.

HOCKEY SEASON Opponent Place William Hall Away Manchester Away William Hall Home Pomfret Away Bulkeley Opponent 1 2 3 5 1 2 1 7 This year practice was curtailed by a lack of ice, and the season was a rather poor one. There were six games in all, four scholastic and two practice meets. The absence of an arena with a suitable rink has been a serious handicap to the team. BOWLI NG Bulkeley is again represented this year on the polished maples at the Y. M. C. A. Under the guidance of Coach Silva, the team has thus far fared well. The High School Bowling League consists of Bulkeley, Chapman Tech, New London Business College, and Suburban. Although only one half of the 1937 campaign has been completed, the remaining part should prove to Tech, the leaders, that the second place Bulkeley team is still in the running. The Tigers will meet Tech in two more contests, and these two matches will be the crucial points of the season. If the Bulkeley pin crashers sweep this series, another trophy will rest in the case for this year. The men who will receive minor letters are Captain Warren Holland-ersky, Morton Kenyon, Zigmund Poreda, Harold Balkansky, Sol Schinman, Walter Szablowski, and Harold Wilson. Page one hundred twenty-seven 19 3 7 FRESHMAN BASKETBALL Coach Silva Forty-five freshmen answered the call for yearling basketball, and from this group a squad of fifteen was picked to represent the school. The opening game with the Rotary Club saw the team lose a thriller when Henry Apanaschik’s long shots with thirty seconds to play won for them 16 to 15. An easy victory over St. Mary’s by a score of 34 to 6 gave the team the confidence it needed and the first league game resulted in a win over Windham 18 to 9. Norwich was the next victim by a 24 to 9 count, Shelburne netting 12 points. Good work by our husky guards, Corey and Dunmire again kept the opponents’ score down. Although we made a good showing, the Weaver Sophomores were too much for our boys and defeated us twice, once at Hartford 28 to 11 and again at Bulkeley 32 to 16. The Rotary Club then gave us another loss in a thrilling overtime game at the “Y” 23 to 21. Our first game with our city rivals, Chamman Tech, resulted in a Tech victory 23 to 11 but the “Y” Junior Leaders were defeated by us 23 to 21 on their own court. John Conners starred for us. Back on the victory path we turned the tables on Chapman Tech winning a tight game from them by a 16-11 score, and followed this with a victory over Windham at Willimantic, 25 to 13. Kas-hanski, Shelburne, and Chernik worked together nicely in this game. It was our best exhibition. In our final game, played at Norwich, hard luck cost us the ball game 14 to 11. The record made by this team is really a better one than it appears at a first glance. In the conference we won four games and lost two. Over the season we broke even, winning and losing six games, but the two Rotary defeats were largely caused by the fact that our captain, Paul Kashanski, played with them, and we were obviously over-matched when we twice took on the Weaver Sophomores. Coach Silva is faced with the prodigious task each year of building a new team with material which necessitates his spending much of his time in teaching them the fundamentals of teamwork which could have been taken up in perfecting and polishing the rough edges that are presented at the beginning of each season.

The class of 1936 won five games and lost none to win the championship. Individual honors went to Nick Donatello of the winning team, who was by his excellent pitching largely responsible for the victory. The seniors then went on to swamp the Faculty in the annual Senior-Faculty game by a score of 10 to 1. The freshmen, although they finished in last place, gave indications of the best varsity material lacking in experience.

Under the capable leadership of our music director, Mr. Howard T. Pierce, it has played and triumphed in many contests throughout New England. This past year was indeed a busy and successful one for the band. In March four representatives from Bulkeley traveled to Springfield, Mass, to play in the All-New England High School Band on March 10-13, and Burton Schaperow was honored by being chosen concert master. The band from Springfield Tech, came here on April 23, and gave a pleasing concert together with the combined bands of Bulkeley and W. M. I. On May eighth the band waged a battle of music with Fitch, with Paul Wiggins of Pawtucket, R. I., as guest conductor. The band traveled in May to Portland, Maine to participate in the New England Music Festival held there on May 22-23, and was pleased to obtain a superior rating. During the summer the band also participated in the Lions’ National Band Contest held at Providence, R. I. The coming season promises to be a most interesting one, for the band is scheduled at the All-New England Band and Orchestra at Hyannis, Mass., in addition to the New England Festival at Gloucester, Mass., May 21 and 22.

THE BULKELEY-W. M. I. ORCHESTRA The Bulkeley-W. M. I. Orchestra, now in its fifteenth year of success, has become recognized as one of the most outstanding organizations of its kind in New England. Under the able directions of Mr. Howard T. Pierce, it has become a much-looked for feature of Bulkeley entertainments. Last year two members of the orchestra went to Springfield, Mass, to play in the All-New England High School Orchestra on March 10-13. The orchestra also went with the band to Portland, Maine to participate in the New England Music Festival given there on May 22-23, and attained a rating of excellent. During the coming year the orchestra is planning to travel with the band to Gloucester, Mass., to attend the Music Festival, and to send representatives to the All-New England High School Orchestra at Hyannis, Mass. Pane one hundred thirty-five 19 3 7 POTPOURRI 1936 Play-going friends of Bulkeley School were greeted at the fifteenth annual Potpourri, held on December 17 and 18, with an unusual variety of entertainment. On the first night a drama by the Seniors and a comedy by the Freshmen, together with a unique musical act, were offered for the enjoyment of the audience. The second night saw the presentation of a dramatic sketch by the Sophomores and a hilarical farce by the Juniors. A Christmas Pageant given by students of W. M. I. provided a fitting close for the program. The Freshmen, as is the custom, chose a comedy for their production. This year it was the play “Let’s Move the Furniture”, written by George Welch. Under the capable direction of Mr. Grubner and Mr. Flood Reed, this play provided many laughs for the audience. Darold Beckman was especially good in the role of Gladys Devoe. The supporting cast included Sanford Glassman, John Carpenter, Louis Blais, Edward Hazlin, and Donald Holmes. The Seniors, under the praiseworthy student direction of John Gorman, held the audience entranced with the play “A Natural Conclusion”, by Charles Kennedy. John Shea was excellent in the role of the spurned lover who committed suicide, making it seem like murder so that suspicion might fall on his rival. Roland Bishop as the successful rival, Mortimer Lubow as the philosophical detective, and Harry Archer as the comical English butler, formed a splendid supporting cast. A melody band, under the direction of Mr. Stetson and composed of members of the band and orchestra, entertained the audience with several popular songs. “The Bishop’s Candlesticks” was the Sophomore choice for their production on Friday. This was a play founded on an episode taken from Victor Hugo’s “Les Miserables”. Charles Schultze and Alfred O’Berne, who were awarded individual recognition by the judges, headed the cast. Others in the cast included Edward Callahan, John Connor, Bernard Wolfe, Paul Gerity and Harold Knox. Much praise should go to Mr. Ray Reed for his splendid direction of this exceptionally well-acted play. “The First Dress Suit” by Russell Medcraft was the Juniors’ contribution to the Potpourri. Joseph Corcoran, the young hero, held the audience in constant laughter with his comic talk and actions. The supporting cast was composed of Fenner Douglass, Stockman Barner, and Andrew Speziali. The play was under the very competent direction of Mr. Hjort-land. The Christmas Pageant given by W. M. I. was the closing act of the program. This act, under the direction of Miss Louise Rafferty and Miss Rose Camesaar, was an excellent one, and a credit to our sister school. Mr. Pierce was in charge of the music for the Potpourri.

BENGAL NEWS STAFF Our school mimeographed newspaper, The Bengal Weekly, entered its second year last September, with Zigmund Poreda as Editor-in-Chief. A more attractively arranged page make-up, and two featured columns, Tigertown Topics and A Year Ago This Week, added considerable life to the three page publication. All school affairs were covered in journalistic style as the paper became more and more a student voice in school events. Before the close of the school year, the entire staff was banqueted at which time five keys were awarded to graduating staff members. They were Zigmund Poreda, Editor-in-Chief; Joseph Garvey, Sports Editor; Harold Balkansky, Business Manager; Theodore Constantinou and John Shea, typists. John K. Balentine, faculty adviser, appointed Warren Carlson and Arnold Herbert, co-editors for the coming year. ’u.f c one hundred thirty-seven 19 3 7 Seated, left to right: Moltz; Perchasky, Sergeant-at-Arms; Secchiaroli, Treasurer; R.

SENIOR H I - Y The Bulkeley Senior Hi-Y Club, composed of 30 members, has made good progress under the direction of Joseph B. Bunker and the weekly counseling leadership of Mr. Hector Hughes. The purpose was to give the boys of our class the opportunity for closer fellowship around such projects as are significant in the life of boys of our age. Meetings have been conducted by Richard Walker, president, with the assistance of Donald Lathrop, vice president; Gerard Ferigone, secretary; Albo Secchiaroli, treasurer; Kenneth Macdonald, chaplain; Alex Per-chansky, sergeant-at-arms. The programs have been given over to discussions of everyday school boy situations that call for definition of motives and ideals. Entering also into the social life of the school the club has continued the Hi-Y tradition of the Spring Hop, which has become the formal social high-light of this season. Additional activities of the club include representative delegations to the Older Boys Conference, the Hi-Y Officers Training Institution at Springfield College, inter high school mixer following the Bulkeley-Tech basketball game, and a joint meeting with the Norwich Hi-Y Club.

B I O LOGY CLUB The Biology Club, which was formed three years ago by Mr. Arthur Hjortland, has now become an established feature of Bulkeley school life. From time to time, the club, which is composed of Biology students and all others who are interested, invites prominent local speakers to deliver public lectures at Bulkeley on subjects pertaining to health and hygiene. This year Theodore Levy, ’37, was elected president, and a varied program was arranged. Under the capable supervision of Mr. Hjortland, the members are working out many projects of biological and Zoological interest. In addition, they are studying the growth and development of the many animals of the club collection. At the close of each year a public exhibition is held, and all friends of the school are invited to view the work that has been done.

WHALER ASSISTANTS The advertising success of this year’s Whaler is largely due to the efforts of the Junior Class members who served faithfully in carrying out their advertising assignments. These Whaler Assistants by their perseverance have helped to make the merchants of New London conscious of the value of an advertisement in this worthwhile publication. They have gained experience which will enable them to assume managerial duties next year. The success of each ensuing Whaler has been made possible by the splendid manner in which the student managers of the previous Junior classes have responded each year to serve in the above capacity. It is the hope of the members of this year’s staff that those who are assigned to carry on these important assignments in year’s to come will try to realize the same standards that have been attained. The Whaler Staff extends sincere thanks to Zigmund Poreda and John Shea of the senior class for their generous contribution of time and effort in typing material for this volume.

ROOM CAPTAINS Several years ago the plan of utilizing a room captian to help to increase the circulation of the Whaler was instituted. This arrangement makes it possible for each boy who is desirous of purchasing a Whaler to pay at his convenience an initial payment by installments. Also it makes it possible for the room captain to gain a most valuable experience along business lines. Each room captain is chosen because of his personality and initiative which are necessary for him to succeed in gaining the support of his room members.

Page one hundred fifty THE BULKELEY WHALER — 1937 College of Liberal Arts Offers a broad program of college subjects serving as a foundation for the understanding of modern culture, social relations, and technical achievement. The purpose of this program is to give the student a liberal and cultural education and a vocational competence which fits him to enter some specific type of useful employment. College of Business Administration Offers a college program with broad and thorough training in the principles of business with specialization in ACCOUNTING, BANKING AND FINANCE, or BUSINESS MANAGEMENT. Modern methods of instruction, including lectures, solution of business problems, class discussions, professional talks by business executives, and motion picture of manufacturing processes, are used. College of Engineering Provides complete college programs in Engineering with professional courses in the fields of CIVIL, MECHANICAL (WITH DIESEL, AERONAUTICAL and AIR CONDITIONING OPTIONS) ELECTRICAL, CHEMICAL, INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING, and ENGINEERING ADMINISTRATION. General engineering courses are pursued during the freshman year; thus the student need not make a final decision as to the branch of engineering in which he wishes to specialize until the beginning of the sophomore year. Co-operating Plan The Co-operative Plan, which is available to upperclassmen in all courses, provides for a combination of practical industrial experience with classroom instruction. Under this plan the student is able to earn a portion of his school expenses as well As to make business contracts which prove valuable in later years.

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.
