Miner was a graduate of Bulkeley School in the class of 1886. Twenty years later (1906) the Board of Trustees ratified his nomination by the Alumni as 'Graduate Trustee’ of the school. In 1921 he became Secretary of the Board and continued in this capacity until 1927 when he was elected President. The fact that Sidney Miner gave his attention to the duties of this office faithfully and efficiently until the last day and almost to the last hour of his life, has revealed very impressively an outstanding quality of his character. “Sidney Miner in his personal relationships with business and professional friends was always genial and courteous. He had a saving sense of humor; he was ready to cooperate in any community ivelfare movement; modest and unpretending himself, he believed in performance rather than in promises. “Sidney Miner was warmly devoted to Bulkeley School, was loyal to its traditions but also keenly interested in its present achievements and its future development. As Trustees of Bulkeley School, we mourn the loss of a faithful colleague, and as fellow citizens, the loss of a valuable member of this community.” From minutes of— Board of Trustees Page twenty-two Page twenty-three EARLY HISTORY OF BULKELEY HIGH SCHOOL The founder of this school was Leonard Hallam Bulkeley, a merchant of modest pretensions, whose place of business was very near the school which now bears his name. He was born December 22, 1799 and he died December 19, 1849. He left an estate valued at something less than $25,000 to found a secondary school which should be free to boys of New London. In his will he provided that the funds should be kept intact until the trustees, who were named in the will, would decide that they were justified in the erection of the school. The board of trustees decided in the year 1870 that the estate had increased enough, in its careful management, to allow operations to begin. Accordingly, plans were secured from the famous architect, Mr. Eidlitz, and then the city presented a plot as a site. The main study-hall provided for forty-two boys. The school was opened in September, 1873 with Eugene B. Collester as principal, who had graduated from Amherst College in the preceding June. Mr. Collester resigned in 1880 and retired to Minnesota. The next principal was Ely R. Hall of the class of 1872 of Yale University, previously a teacher in Hopkins Grammar School. Mr. Hall remained in charge of the school until 1888 when he moved to Woodstock, Connecticut, to become the principal of the academy of that city until his death in 1920. The conduct of the school was then placed under Mr. Towne who presided until 1922. Bulkeley School discontinued the practice of a four-year curriculum for a three-year course in 1884. However, in 1910 the school readopted its original plan. Bulkeley School is the successor of the New London Grammar School which was founded in 1713, and maintained jointly by the town and the income of a fund established by Robert Bartlett. Nathan Hale was one of the masters of this school which was in 1873 discontinued in favor of Bulkeley. The legacy of this school was increased by various gifts and donations, notably from Asa Otis, Henry P. Haven, and George F. Tinker. In 1921 a new building was added to the school. It consisted of six recitation rooms and an auditorium with a seating capacity for 750 students. In 1934 another addition was built, consisting of twelve recitation rooms and a gymnasium.

Wessell Starting with a larger enrollment than any previous class, the class of ’13 early gave promise of being outstanding for more reasons than size. We were due to have plenty of luck, and as our superstitious numerals indicate, there was to be some evil. Before the middle of our Freshman year, Principal Walter A. Towne deemed it necessary to keep the class after school one day for a straight from the shoulder talk. He might have summed up his remarks something like this. “You are now the largest class we have ever had. Unless you quit fooling around and get down to business, less than twenty of your approximately sixty members will graduate.” How near “Townie” came to being right! Although our list of grads totals thirty-one, some of them did not start with us as freshmen. With this background it may be surprising that so many of our members have done so well in life’s pursuits. Perhaps it was a problem of getting our energy expended in the right channels. Twenty-five years ago the portals of Bulkeley School closed behind the Class of 1913. Thirty-one young men, imbued with enthusiasm and determination, faced the world. Some were planning to continue their education in university or college, but most of the graduates expected to continue their education in the school of experience. The class was an average group of young men, but on the contrary was a most extraordinary group of earnest, capable students who prided themselves on leadership, and contributed unstintingly to Bulkeley’s athletic programs. Members of outstanding athletic ability left their impress on Bulkeley’s football, baseball, basketball and track teams. Again, class members who were selected to manage sports activities showed considerable aptitude for the tasks and it was largely through their efforts that the various sports activities enjoyed a period of unusual success. They were instrumental in making the name of Bulkeley one to be taken seriously in the world of high school sports. Sportsmanship and the management of athletic activities reached a new high twenty-five years ago. Most, if not all, of the members of the Class of 1913 soon felt the effects of the European conflict which broke out the year following graduation. Several years later the United States was embroiled in the World War and every member of the class was engaged in some war activity either here or abroad. As a result the class members were pretty well scattered, finding life a grim reality. However, the class suffered no casualties as a result of the war, but the life of each member was vitally altered as a result of the confict. A new order of living followed, new contacts were made, new friendships developed, and as a consequence we found ourselves in new locations and diversified pursuits following the end of hostilities. All in all, we have traveled a long way since 1913. We have accumulated a wealth of experience and some share of the world’s goods. Several of our members are high ranking army officers, several are successful physicians and surgeons, one member is connected with the moving picture industry, one is an architect, several hold responsible government positions, and others have been successful in various diversified businesses.

Page twenty-eight SENESCAS, NE SEGNEVERIS Four years of study spent at Bulkeley School will seem not more than brief unnumbered yesterdays, when each of you begins to vision the life before you and all the fine accomplishments which are to belong to your career. This is why the voices of all your friends who woidd say ‘goodbye’ must remain unheard by you who listen now so eagerly to that imaginary flourish of trumpets heralding your high hopes and expectations. Of course we commend this confidence and enthusiasm because it will do much to help you realize any sort of an objective. There’s compensation, too, in failures. Even the vagaries of a dreamer can be refined by mistakes and disappointments into a truly virile and essential trait which combines both patience and determination. Understand, we are not trying to pass along any new or secret formula for success. We’re just aiming to have you translate these goodbyes and goodwishes of ours into the dedication upon your part of all your talents to a braver standard of conduct which many people today are beginning to describe as ‘the Valiant Life’. In olden days it ivas said of the doge of Venice, ‘he grows old but does not wear out’. Senescit non segnescit. We suggest this sentiment can be applied to the mental and moral aspects of life as well as to the merely physical. So it happens that the title of this farewell message has been put in the Latin hortatory form, because in wishing you each to lead The Valiant Life, we are in the same words urging you never to falter—never to grow weary in putting your best aims and best creeds into constant, unending practice.

We became quite popular and even made a hit with our comedy, “The Amateurs” in the annual Potpourri. During our Sophomore year, we were favored to win the interclass baseball championship, but fate ruled differently and we were thrown into the dust by the Seniors who took the trophy. Last year as Juniors, we placed five men on the football Conference Championship team. They were Wieczorek, Bychkowsky, Grippo, Quarry and Baldelli. We also did well in the fifteenth annual Potpourri, presenting The First Dress-Suit” under Mr. Hjortland’s able coachmanship. This year, after a pleasant stay at Bulkeley, we find ourselves as the proud Seniors. Our high school days are so rapidly passing we do not begin to realize that we’ll soon be turned loose to roam the prairies of Life. But we’ll use the time that’s left in the many activities which present themselves this year, and we hope to make a worthwhile presentation in all that we shall undertake. We will soon be leaving our dear Alma Mater and our fellow classmates, whose lasting friendships we have formed here. We have worked energetically for our Orange and Black, and now in parting with a respectable record behind us, we ask you, the Class of 1939, to continue in the work which we have carried on. Hold fast to what you have at Bulkeley for we must set sail on the uncharted seas of Life with the hope of a successful journey. Farewell, “Oh Bulkeley Dear.” 1 938 Page thirty-eight SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS ARMANDO BALDELLI Vice President ARNOLD HERBERT Secretary RALPH DeSIMONE Treasurer ARTHUR ROBBINS President Page thirty-nine ALTER, HASKELL “Has” General Football 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Biology Club 2, 4; Hi-Y 4. “Has” is a noisy fellow topped by a natural permanent. On the gridiron, he is a hard worker and a good lineman. His hard working characteristic fades out when he leaves the field and he joins the rank of the easy going. His good nature has placed him among our foremost classmates. APANASCHIK, HENRY “Appey” Commercial Basketball 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 2; Freshman Basketball; Varsity Club 3, 4. In school life “Appey” is reserved and quiet, but when it comes to basketball he is a regular Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, changing from a silent observer into a roaring tiger. His personality and manners provide a wholesome influence over his friends. BACKUS, GEORGE “Back” Commercial Intramural Basketball 2; Hi-Y 2, 3, 4. Any hot air escaping from the rear of Room 19 causes little disturbance to the Senior class members because four years with “Back” has accustomed them to this rival of the modern steam radiator. “Back” has proved himself a real pal and we sincerely wish him a successful future. BAIER, RICHARD “Bugs” General Intramural Basketball 1, 2; Potpourri 1, 3; Biologv Club 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club 1, 3, 4; “Whaler” Assistant 3. Bugs hails from the frontier where he spends his spare time raising fancy chickens. He is one of our feature attractions to the fair sex. His dramatic ability may some day bring him a stage career if he does not decide to become an early nuptial. JhfL 1938 (jJhaloA. Page forty hadimkidu BALDELLI, ARMANDO “Baldy” Commercial Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Track 1, 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Baseball 1, 2; Class President 1, 2; Vice President 3, 4; Hi-Y 1, 2; Junior Prom Committee 3; “Whaler” Assistant 3; Circulation Manager 4. Meet our famous athlete, Armando Baldelli. With the approach of fall “Baldy” lent his brawn and brains to become one of the best backs Bulkeley has ever produced. We feel sure the future for “Baldy” is a bright one. BALLASSI, SOPHOCLES “Sux” Commercial Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Potpourri 2; Hi-Y 3, 4. “Sux” is noted for his famous impersonation of Napoleon. Bubbling forth with mirth and cheerfulness, he proves that “life is just a bowl of cherries”. BALZARETTY. HERBERT “Bal” Classical Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Chess Club 4. “Laugh and the world laughs with you” seems to be the motto of this jolly fellow. “Bal’s” sparkling humor and wit have made him a welcome and popular classmate. He is an enthusiastic student of history and English, and seldom fails to bring his wit to class. BARATZ, MERRILL “Mer” Classical Tennis 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2; Biology Club 3, 4; French Club 3, 4; Latin Club 3; Chess Club 4. A “chem” shark if there ever was one, “Mer” can always be depended upon to answer Mr. Lawrence’s questions with wisdom and deep understanding. He is an expert on the tennis courts where he has a wicked backhand and a serve that makes us wonder. Page forty one BARNER, STOCKMAN “Stock” General Potpourri 2, 3; Biology Club 2, 3, 4. As an actor “Stock” possesses amazing genius. He portrays the feminine parts with such skill as to even fool our fair sisters at W. M. I. As the years roll by, we will undoubtedly find “Stock” a talented actor. BARNES, FRANK “Whitie” Commercial Intramural Basketball 2, 3. “Whitie” has gained fame as a frequent offender of Mr. Cole’s pet rule, “Hats off in school”. His rural characteristics and good disposition have enlivened the atmosphere of the commercial classes. BECKWITH. RUSSELL “Kola” Commercial Tennis 1, 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 2, 4; Biology Club 4; Hi-Y 2. “Becky” is fast becoming a tennis terror. Off the court he is in demand by our fair sisters of W. M. I. and can be seen at most social functions. “Becky” has an infectious grin and a contagious sense of humor which make him a likable companion. BEEBE, DONALD “Beeb” College “Beeb”, a classmate from the “sticks”, is still attempting to convince his fellow students that the world is flat. (Maybe Magellan was a fake.) He has a ready smile and is popular with his classmates. JhsL 193S WhalsJL Page forty-two Parson” AaduaicA, BERGESON, ERNEST A. E. Classical Associate Editor of the “Whaler” 4, Assistant 3; Intramural Basketball 1; Potpourri 2; Biology Club 2, 3; Latin Club 3, 4; “Bengal Weekly” 2; Glee Club 3, 4; Chess Club 4; New England Chorus 4; Band 4. “Parson” has great hopes of entering the ecclesiastical halls of fame. He is an actor and a scholar and now occupies the post of Associate Editor of the “Whaler”, in which position he has proved himself very capable. BERGMAN, ROBERT “Bob” Classical Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Track 3, 4; Potpourri 2; Varsity Club 3, 4; Hi-Y 3, 4; French Club 3, 4; Band I, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 4. “Bob” is our tall varsity basketball center. In this position he has proved his worth snagging passes and shooting baskets. He is highly regarded by his associates because of his quiet and affable disposition. BERNSTEIN, RALPH “Bern” Classical Associate Business Manager of “Whaler” 4; Assistant 3; Football 1, 2; Assistant Manager Football 3; Class Baseball 1, 2, 4; Potpourri 1; Biology Club 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 2, 3, Vice-Pres. 4. “Bern’s” most outstanding quality is a sober appreciation of fair-play. His dependability, common sense, and impartiality are recognized whether he is working in the cafeteria or serving in the capacity of Associate Business Manager of this year’s edition of the “Whaler”. BONGARET, FRANK “Ginsy” Commercial “Bengal Weekly” 2, 3, 4; Intramural Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4. To many of us Frank appears to be a Hollywood product because of his debonair, dapper, and dashing manner plus the fact that he served as usher at the Garde Theater during his fourth year at Bulkeley. Studies do not seem to impede his progress or ruffle his calm and gentle disposition. He has been a worthy asset to our class. Page forty-three BOONE. FRANCIS “Frank” Classical Cross-Country 3, 4; Biology Club 3, 4; English Composition Prize 3; “Bengal Weekly” 2; Literary Editor of “Whaler” 4; Chess Club 4; Latin Club 3, 4. “Frank” is a great scholar, plugging away with honest ambition in pursuit of knowledge. His studious attitude and quiet nature have placed him among our top ranking scholars and the future holds a brilliant literary career for him. BOWLER. THOMAS “Tom” General Track 1, 2, 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Stage Manager 3; Band 1; Hi-Y 4; Biology Club 4. We can always expect the unusual from “Tom”. During a senior’s discussion or elsewhere he “pipes up” with a witty remark or a horse laugh that keeps the group in an uproar. “Tom” possesses a scholar’s brain and has proven his worth in the field of mathematics. BRADSHAW. HARRY “Doc’ Commercial Although school activities have no part in “Doc’s” life, he is not a serious minded student. May he be as successful in his business adventures as he has been in trapping the wild life of Waterford. BRADY. WILLIAM “Bill’ Classical Football 2, 3, 4; Track 2, 3, 4; Cross-Country 1; Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4. Presenting “Bill”, the great pass snagger of ’38. Although once in a while we doubt some of the stories he tells, he is sincere and honest. Possessing a kind heart, “Bill” is a likable fellow and a good student. JJul 1938 lOhabuc Faye forty-four AadimhiA, BRAYNE, FRANK “Frank ’ General French Club 3; Jordan Highest Average Prize 1; Band 2, 3, 4. The more serious things in life seem to appeal to “Frank”, but this does not interfere with his support of school activities. His musical talent rates him of great value to the band and who knows but that he may become another “King of Jazz”. BROWN, RICHARD “Dick” Commercial Class Baseball 3, 4. “Discourse is good, but prudent silence is better.” Herein lies a part of “Dick’s” success. He is adding more honors to the many already attained by other members of his family who graduated before him. “Dick” has been able to make the grade because of his agreeable disposition and his ability to face the realities of life. BUCKO, CHARLES “Buck” General Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3; Baseball 2; Class Baseball 1, 2, 3. “Buck’s” piping remarks have enlivened many a class. He is one of the teachers’ headaches and is a frequent occupant of the seventh period. In spite of his shortcomings, “Buck” is a true classmate. BULL, LEWIS “Lew” Classical Intramural Basketball 3. Judging “Lew” from his “happy-go-lucky” manner, he would not impress one as possessing such a remarkable scholastic aptitude. We have often wondered how it has been possible for him to maintain such a record, as he landed in our midst during our Junior year. Page forty-five BYCHKOWSKY. HARRY “By Classical Football 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 3; Class Baseball 3; Varsity Club 3, 4; Hi-Y 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee. “By” transferred from Tech and is certainly glad he did. He has achieved fame on and off of the football field. His boisterous and humorous conduct during classes can always be depended upon for a laugh. He is a great socialite and cuts a fancy figure on the dance floor. CARLSON, WARREN “Swede General Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Athletic Editor of ‘Whaler” 4; “Bengal Weekly” 2, 3, 4. “Swede” has expressed his true personality through his famous “Tigertown Topics” rather than in the classroom. His sphinx-like qualities make him all the more a mystery to most of us who have had an opportunity to work with him, whether it was on the “Bengal News” or the “Whaler” staff. He is a dependable man of action as he has always been punctual in his work. CASCIO, VINCENT “Vin” Commercial Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 2; Sophomore Bookkeeping Prize. Tall, dark, and handsome, “Vin ’ is a quiet, unassuming fellow with an ambitious nature that shows in his high scholastic record. Competent and modest, he is undoubtedly destined for success. CASH. FRANCIS “Dick” Commercial Track 1; Cross-Country 1; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Baseball 3, 4. “Dick” is one of the easy going members of the class of 1938. His cheery manner has enabled him to build up a host of friends. Here’s to you, “Dick”, and let’s hope you find everything to your liking. JhiL 1938 Ulhal A. Page forty-six $Aaducd A CLIFT, STANTON “Wolf” Classical Track 4; Hockey 4; Hi-Y 4. “Wolf” left us in his freshman year to have a two-year stay in the wilds of Canada. There he became a great hunter and has proved his ability by having a great number of friends among his trophies. CONSTANTINE. SPERO “Connie” Classical “Bengal Weekly” 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 4. “Connie” proves of invaluable aid to Mr. Ballentine through his printing ability. His hobby is playing drums and he does this with skill and rhythm, and is often seen “swinging it” with any of several orchestras. “Connie” is also noted for his wit and good humor. CORCORAN, JOSEPH “Joe” General Potpourri 2, 3; Hi-Y 4; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 4; Christmas Dance Committee 4. It is safe to say that weariness has its abode under the brow of our fair-haired comrade. “Joe’s” general disposition, merriment, and original wit stand him as a desirable classmate. He is popular among his fellow-students and wrill long be remembered for his haphazard remarks. COVER, PAUL “Kid” Commercial Potpourri 2; Typing Award 2; Assistant Corresponding Secretary of “Whaler” 4. Winning a radio amateur contest, “Kid” seems to have made music more than a hobby. Evidently our extra-curricula activities are not highly attractive to him and what he does with his spare time is a mystery to us. Page forty-seven CROWLEY, LAWRENCE • Bunker” General Baseball 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Baseball 2. In our midst there wanders a quiet, serious looking lad whom we call “Bunker”. He possesses an industrious nature and is a hard worker. “Bunker’s conduct has always been above reproach and he has a temper that is not easily antagonized. CULLEN, STEPHEN Classical Cross-Country 2; Intramural Basketball 4; “Steve” Hi-Y 2, 3, 4. “Steve” proves quite an attraction to the fair sex and is always seen at W. M. I. social functions. Outside of lassies his pet hobby is photography. His winning ways and pleasing manners have won him a host of friends, during his stay in Bulkeley. DAGHLIAN, HARRY “Dolly” Classical “Dolly” is one of the most distinguished mathematicians of the Senior class. Is this one of the reasons why so many Seniors were anxious to carry his books while he was on crutches? His quiet manners and reserved nature have won for him the friendship and good will of his fellow Seniors. DEL MONTE, JOHN JacK Commercial Basketball 2, 3; Class Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 1, 2; Sophomore Bookkeeping Prize. If it wasn’t for his interest in scholastic studies, “Jack” would be one of our star varsity basketball players “Jack” excels in bookkeeping and typing and was the winner of the Sophomore Bookkeeping Prize. Lets hope his future will be as brilliant as his past. IhsL 1938 lt)hakx. Page forty-eight 5haduaisA DEM BEK, STEPHEN “Stevie” General Intramural Basketball 1,2, 3, 4. “Stevie” is a great sports fan and his favorite pastime is predicting football scores. We find him a quiet, dependable chap, and a faithful friend to all. DeSIMONE, RALPH “Des” Classical Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 4; Class Treasurer 4; Hi-Y 2, 4; Band 3, 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; “Whaler” Assistant 3; Biographical Editor 4; Track 4. It is said that curiosity is the basis of the progress of civilization. If this be true, certainly “Des’ ” questioning nature indicates a constructiveness and progressiveness to be admired. Since the past betokens the future, success will be his. DiPALMA, DANTE “Parvey” General Track 2; Intramural Basketball 2. In spite of his apparent indifference to his scholastic responsibilities, “Parvey” is able to cope admirably with some of the more studious members of our group. Not ‘a burner of “midnight oil”, he is enabled to appreciate the joys of life to a fuller extent. DOMBROWSKI, ARTHUR “Art” Commercial Typing Award 3. Coming from Alexander Hamilton High School. New York, “Art” became a member of our student body in his Junior year. He is a wizard at shorthand and typing and has won more than one contest in this field. “Art” seems to enjoy life and takes part in many school activities. Page forty-nine DONEGAN, WILLIAM “Will” Classical Intramural Basketball 1, 3, 4. It is said that in this clay and age a sense of humor is a valuable asset. If that is the case, “Will” is indeed fortunate, for he is blessed with an excellent one. “Will” hasn’t revealed his future plans, but success must shine on a lad with such a pleasing disposition. DOUGLASS, FENNER “Doug” Classical Potpourri 1, 2, 3; Class Secretary-Treasurer 1; Orchestra 1; Biology Club 4; French Club 3; Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3; Sophomore Latin Prize; Latin Club 3, 4. We find “Doug” a quiet fellow with a great flare for mathematics and language. He is one of our dramatic stars and has taken part in every Potpourri during his four years at Bulkeley. Some day we shall find him high in the scientific or literary world. DUNN, EDWARD “Ned” General Hi-Y 3; Biology Club 3; Christmas Dance Committee 2, 3, 4; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 3, 4; “Red Mill” 2. “Ned” has established his fame as an usher without whose presence no program could be complete. Most of his time is spent pounding the bass drum or talking with W. M. I. students (about music of course). He is Mr. Pierce’s able assistant and has proved himseif worthy as business manager of the band and orchestra. EDGECOMB, KENNETH “Ken” Commercial Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3. “Ken” possesses that unusual attribute of quietude. His quiet manner has enabled him to go through Bulkeley unnoticed by most of his classmates. He has never manifested any spirit of discontent nor has he ever participated in long-winded arguments with any of his fellow students. Nevertheless, “Ken” has managed to survive all the ordeals of school life. JhsL 1938 (xlkakjL Page fifty $AaduaJt A ESPOSITO, LOUIS “Lou Commercial Intramural Basketball 1, 2; Class Baseball 2, 3; Hi-Y 2; Bowling 1, 2. “No cares in the world,” says “Lou” as he goes about his classes. “Life is too short to be sad.” “Lou” spends his spare time at the antique game of bowling. Between this and nothing “Lou” goes forth into the cruel world with a happy smile which should go a long way towards success. FOURNIER, ROY “Frenchie” Commercial A man like Fournier makes us thankful for the invention of exclamation points. He’s emphatic! He’s superlative! He’s the noisiest member of the class (next to French)! And he’s the most enthusiastic perpetrator of deviltry in the school. We know that the future cannot hold many obstacles to his unruffled progress. FRENCH, ALLEN “Frenchie” Classical Intramural Basketball 1, 4; “Bengal Weekly” 2; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Christmas Dance Committee 2, 3, 4; Plane Geometry Prize 2; Latin Club 3, 4; French Club 3, 4. “Frenchie” takes little heed of the maxim, “Little boys should be seen and not heard”. He means well and stands scholastically among the highest in his class, especially in mathematics. In his spare time he trills on his piccolo in the band (more noise). GRIFFIN, RUSSELL “Rus” General Intramural Basketball 1, 2; Hi-Y 2, 3; Football 3. “Rus” is one of our class redheads which phenomenon is anything but characteristic of his mild temper. His noted smile set off by flashy clothes makes him one of our handsome “dudes”. His spare moments are spent guiding Bulkeley seniors to the Capitol’s choicest seats. Page fifty-one GRIPPO, FRED “Fred Commercial Baseball 1, 2; Football 3; Basketball 1, 2, 3; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Prom Committee 3. We find “Fred to be quiet, but an ambitious hard worker. He shares in school activities and has often proved his ability in the sport world. His personality and likable nature rank him with our more popular Seniors. GURNEE, WILLIAM “Bill’ Commercial Biology Club 2, 4. That tall fellow with the school of curly blond hair, whose picture we see, is none other than “Bill” Gurnee. Quiet and diligent, he is a supporter of student activity and is an active biologist. HALL, ARTHUR “Art” Classical Baseball Manager 3, 4; Swimming 3, 4; Class Baseball Manager 3, 4; Hi-Y 4. “Art”, with his twin brother, came to this school in our Junior year and since then they have been a constant wonder, for more than one Senior thought he was seeing double. “Art is a great favorite of Mr. Orcutt and the two can always be seen discussing the relative merits of the English course at Newton High. He is also our hardworking manager and is a swell all-around fellow. HALL, CHANNING “Buck Classical Swimming 3, 4; Varsity Club 4; Glee Club 2. “Buck is Art’s brother but as “Buck” says, “It isn’t my fault”. He possesses a lusty voice but is not guaranteed to hit high “C”. Since his arrival here, “Buck” has caused a stir and is now a loyal supporter and participant in school activities. JJul 1938 U)halsA. Page fifty-two 5JiaduahA., HALSTEAD, ARTHUR “Art” Classical Manager Basketball 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2; Hi-Y 3, 4. “Art” has managed the basketball team for three years and has become Coach O’Brien’s right hand man. He devotes much of his time to the support of school activities and is well-known and liked throughout the school. HAYES, DONALD “Don” Commercial Hi-Y 2, 3, 4; Football 2. Hayes possesses a rollicking sense of humor with an uncanny degree of poise. To some of us he appears to be the answer to a maiden’s prayer and from what we hear of his social activities, he is a man of action. He is a living example of his own good nature and has won many followers. HENDRICKSON, HAROLD “Fish” Classical Swimming 3, 4; Potpourri 2, 3; Biology Club 2, 3, 4; French Club 3; Dramatic Club 3. “Fish”, as his name implies, excels in the tank. His breaststroke is among the state’s best and can always be counted on to bring laurels and honors to Bulkeley. Besides swimming “Fish” is a “bug” on dramatics and a special pet of Doctor Philippse because of his scholarly attainments. HERBERT. ARNOLD “Herb” Classical Class Secretary 4; “Bengal Weekly” 2, 3, Co-editor 4. “Herb” has shown exceptional ability, efficiency and competency in the majority of his endeavors. Such talent, together with his ready wit makes him the perfect master of ceremonies. He has the rare quality of getting things done without undue pressure. He has personality plus. Page fifty-three HICKS, DOUGLAS “Doug” Commercial Glee Club 3, 4; Track 4; New England Chorus 3, 4. •‘Doug” represented our school as a tenor in the “All-New England Chorus” at Hyannis last spring. He is another one of our yachtsmen. Transferred from Fitch in his Junior year, “Doug” has since been a boon to W. M. I., seldom missing any of their affairs. HIGGINS, ROBERT “Bob” Commercial “Bob” goes about his studies quietly and studiously, not mingling in the social activity of school life. He is appreciated for his sincerity by all who know him. He has been a consistent “plugger” in everything from studies to part time jobs. “Bob’s” arguments are always getting him some place, either in “dutch” or elsewhere. HOBRON, STUART “Stew” Classical Hi-Y 4; Intramural Basketball 2, 3; Band 2, 3, 4; “Whaler” Assistant 3; Literary Editor 4. “Stew” is one of our jolliest Seniors and is full of cheerfulness and good humor. Whenever you hear the band you can’t help hearing “Stew”. He comprises 50% of the band’s noise with his drum. He is a witty and punny youngster and has a good time rumbling his way through life. HOLMES, KENNETH “Ken” General Potpourri I, 2; Band 1, 2, 3, 4. In every walk of life there is need of men who will stand unruffled and at ease when things about them are all “hay-wire”. “Ken” is noted for his indifference and absolute unhurriedness and this precocious youngster has another bid to fame—the clarinet. JJvl 1938 lOhal A. Page fifty-four hjcudimtoA HOWARD. EUGENE “Gene” Commercial In spite of the fact that “Gene” has been with us four years, his presence is still unknown to many members of the Senior class, because of his quiet manner. Who knows but that our class has been Rifted with a genius who may some clay surprise his more loquacious iellow students. ITZKOWITZ, CHARLES “Charlie” Classical Track 3, 4; Swimming 2, 3; Cross-Country 2; Intramural Basketball 1; Hi-Y 4; “Whaler” Assistant 3; Business Manager 4; American History Prize 3. “Charlie” is possessed of that comparatively rare faculty, the power to reason. His high academic standing is an excellent confirmation of this fact. A merry spirit, a high sense of duty and initiative all culminate in making Charlie the successful “Whaler” business manager. JANSEN, HAROLD Jan General “The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker.” Although he has not as yet made biscuits that will float, “Jan” is always in the dough. Because of his untiring efforts and competency he has achieved recognition as one of our worth-while students. His sense of humor has won for him many friends among students and faculty. JENKS, RICHARD AJ,CK General Hi-Y 4. “Dick’s” hobby is hunting and he is reputed to be a second Daniel Boone. We can’t say too many good things about him, a good student, a good sport, and a good fellow. “Dick” is a young man of many talents and because of his modesty he has kept us in suspense. We wonder what he is planning to take up for his life work. Page fifty-five KIELY, RICHARD ‘Rich” Commercial Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4; Class Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Football 2, 3, 4; Prom Committee 3. “Rich” is a great manifestation of character and popularity, hard-working and serious, yet possessed of a gay and refreshing humor. He is one of the more thoughtful and considerate members of the class whether it is in the field of our scholastic interests or in athletics. KOHRS, FRANKLIN “Admiral” Classical Track 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball I; Hi-Y 3. Brother Kohrs is a product of Gales Ferry where he is known to be a skillful farmer. “Admiral” has a fine personality and during his stay at Bulkeley, he has acquired the respect and friendship of his classmates. KORWEK, JOHN “Butch” Classical Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4; Biology Club 2, 3. Chemistry seems to be “Butch’s” Waterloo, although he puts up a good front. He is a quiet type of boy, sincere and frank to all his associates. Those who cultivate his acquaintance soon realize and appreciate his agreeable personality. LANGELLO, PAT “Pat” College Latin Club. “Pat” has done a great deal for the class as a whole; what is more, he has done it in such quiet efficiency and in such a self-effacing manner that few realize its extent. His silence makes his presence in the classroom almost unnoticed, but we are sure that he is climbing the ladder to success. JhsL 1938 lx)hatsi L Page fifty-six $AacLuaJt A, LEVINE, RALPH “Babe” Classical Football 2, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 2, 3, 4; “Whaler” Assistant 3; Advertising Editor 4. Among our star basketball players we find “Babe”. He is noted for his form in playing and his self-confidence in his ability and for crashing into the “Whaler” self-imposed publicity contest, “Page Bernstein”. LUCE, EDWARD “Eddie” General Biology Club 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Bowling 4. “Eddie” blows in from the frontiers of Niantic every morning. We shall never forget the day when school was dismissed because “Eddie” forgot to leave his pet skunks at home. He has a cheery disposition, studious habits, and irresistible grin which have won him many friends. MATTHEWS, JOHN “Jack” General Baseball 3, 4; Basketball 2, 3, 4; Class Baseball 1, 2; Hi-Y 1, 2; Biology Club 2; “Whaler” Asst. 3; Cir. Mgr. 4. “Jack” has gone through his four years without attracting much attention from the public, but he has succeeded in gathering a large group of friends about him. He possesses great basketball ability and is one of the mainstays of our Conference Co-championship team. MAY, DOMINIC “Pete” Commercial Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3; Track 2, 4; Cross-Country 1; Hi-Y 2, 3. Even if Mr. Pasquale doesn’t think “Pete” a historian, he is. Especially since his excuses for not doing his history date back to antiquity. Anyway, “Pete” is a good bluffer and is the provocation of more than one class laugh. Page fifty-seven MAYNARD, EDWARD “Ed” General Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 2. “Ed’s” sport enthusiasm finds an outlet in basketball. Although he is handicapped by his small size, he has been ranked as a first class player. “Ed’s” future achievements will speak for themselves. MAYNARD, HARRY “Har” General Cross-Country 1, 3; Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4; Class Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 2; “Whaler” Corresponding Secretary 4. One of the more quiet members of the class, “Har” can always be counted on to support school activities. He is energetic and willing and has a bright future. “Har” stands high with his classmates and is always willing to extend a helping hand to anyone. McGUIRK, THOMAS “Mac” General Class Baseball 3, 4; Track 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4. Have you ever been approached by a tall fellow who asked you to lend him something? If you haven’t you’re lucky. “Mac” is our famed chiseler that needs no tools. However, he is a good “skate” even though he attempts to frighten kind freshmen. MILLER, FRANK “Frankie” Classical Class Baseball 1, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4. “Frankie” is a basketball fiend and can usually be found practicing somewhere. He doesn’t believe studies should come before his favorite sport. Besides being good in sports, he’s a good sport in sports and out of sports. JhiL 1938 (OhakA, Page fifty-eight $JvGictuai A. MITCHELL, JOHN “Mitch” Commercial Hi-Y 2, 3, 4. We can’t help but like “Mitch” with his cheery smile and wisecracking. This rather good-looking fellow has a weakness, but he’s kept us in the dark about his feminine interests. We suspect he has many eccentricities, but these shouldn’t keep this young man from achieving his goal. MOCHON, HARRY Moch” Classical Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 2, 3, 4; Stamp Club 1; Biology Club 2, 3. “Moch” is a great noise-maker, but his bark is worse than his bite. He is really only preparing himself for his later vocation as a philabustering politician. He is a constant thorn in the side of our esteemed Doctor Philippse with his persistent frolicking and angelic expression of innocence that are a delightful diversion from the common drudgery of classroom work. MURPHY, BERNARD “Murph” Commercial Football 3; Basketball 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2; Class Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4. “Murph” takes things calmly including his basketball ability which has helped the team come through many a tough schedule. His utter disregard of financial hindrances when in the company of the fairer sex has endeared him to the hearts of the maidens from here to Old Mystic. We feel that he will be successful in whatever his lifetime vocation may be. MURPHY, JOHN “Murf” Commercial Biology Club 3; Hi-Y 2. Although “Murf” doesn’t take part in many school activities, he does his share in supporting them. He is studious and reserved and commands the respect of hi3 associates. This quiet lad will always be remembered for his fine character, and studiousness. Page fifty-nine MYERS, CLIFFORD “Cliff” Classical Track 3; Intramural Basketball 2; Biology Club 2, 3, 4. Mr. Hjortland’s favorite student and undercover man is “Cliff”. On the speaker’s platform he has made a name for himself giving vigorous and scholarly talks. His love of biology will lead him to cut up a bit some day. NAZARKO, BOHDAN “Bo” General “Bo” is well liked by his associates and will some day give a splendid account of himself. He has never been tempted by our student activities and we have our suspicions as to what he does in his spare moments. From the appearance of his report card it seems that “still waters run deep”. NEALE, RICHARD “Rich” General Track 4; Tennis 3; Cross-Country 4; Intramural Basketball 3, 4; Biology Club 3, 4; Hi-Y 3, 4. Every time “Rich” goes by W. M. I. he causes a number of pulses to quicken. He is a socialite and was once the drum-major of our esteemed band. “Rich” was also a notable of Mr. Stetson’s 1937 cross-country champions. O’CONNELL, ROBERT “Okie” General “Okie” is the type of student who does not make himself conspicious in the classroom, but manages to absorb a great deal of information. This probably explains why we do not see “Okie” overloaded with books on his homeward journeys. “Okie” has proved himself to be a regular fellow. We wonder how he finds time to work and keep up in the social world. JhsL J93S kJhakn. Paye sixty $AaduaJt A. OLBRYS, HENRY “Calamity” General Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 3, 4. If there were a prize offered for sustained grumbling about matters so trivial as to be utterly insignificant, “Calamity” would easily win. His discontented mutter-ings relieve the monotony of our study period. “Calamity” has managed to live through all his afflictions, real or pretended. OLSEN, CARL “Babe” General Potpourri 3; Band 3, 4; Orchestra 4. “Babe”, a model of quiet decorum and studious zeal, joined us in our Junior year. He is a musician of great talent, being a master of the saxophone. “Babe” has been a popular classmate, winning all with his bright and sunny disposition. OLZACKI, JOSEPH “Joe” General Track 1, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 4; Varsity Club 3; Hi-Y 3, 4. “Joe” is our “bouncer” at the Senior Hi-Y'. However, when he's not busy “bouncing”, he plays a wicked game of basketball. “Joe” seldom says much, but is always willing to back up the few words that he does say. “Joe's” temperament and patience have brought him fame as the most popular “bouncer” the “Y” has ever had. PARTRIDGE, ALBERT “Al” General Track 4; Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4. Who's that cheering? Why that’s “Al”, the mainstay of our cheering section who cheers no matter what student activity or athletic event we attend. Aside from this, “Al” is a humorist and his many friends delight in his constant flow of mirth. Page sixty-one PERRY, BRADLEY “Knobby” Classical Cross-Country Manager 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 4; Biology Club 2, 3, 4; Chess Club 4. Our “Knobby” is a regular Patrick Henry on the subject of politics and one can usually find him in a heated debate with anyone who will dare brave his eloquence. Aside from this, “Knobby” is manager of the crosscountry team and has performed his task well. PHILOPENA, RAYMOND “Ray” Commercial Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 1; Track 1, 2; Class Baseball 1, 2, 4; Varsity Club 3, 4. As a football player, Ray was a constant menace to the opposing team and many a yardage stripe passed under his flying feet. Off the field Ray is highly regarded because of his good fellowship. PIERFEDERICI, OTELLO “P.F” General Intramural Basketball 3, 4. It is a pleasure to introduce to you this scholar and gentleman, a staunch supporter of extra-curricula activities. “P.F.”, so named by Mr. Orcutt, is a jovial fellow with a perpetual smile and infectious laugh. He is an entertaining fellow and a true friend to everyone. POTARI, JOHN “John” Classical Only those who know him can understand what is underneath the case-hardened exterior of John Potari. He gives us the impression that he is indifferent to all that goes on about him. However, he possesses a warm personality and an appreciation of student life at Bulke-ley. Our sincere wish is that the future may offer him no hindrances. Jhs, 193S (jJhal A, Page sixty-two 5hadjuaJt A PRETTO, FRANKLIN “Frank” General Swimming: 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2; Hi-Y 2, 3. “Frank” is one of our coming: swimming stars and spends his time practicing in the pool. When he hasn’t anything else to do he builds model airplanes and the future might find him a leading figure in the aviation industry. PUMERA NTZ, H ERM A N “Hymie” Commercial Freshman Basketball; Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4; Football 2, 3, 4; Track 3, 4. “Hymie” has great hopes in the field of newspaper work. During his four years with us the interest he has shown in school athletics has led us to believe that his news reporting will be in the world of sports. The best of luck, “Hymie”! QUINTILIANI, ARTHUR “Laney” Classical Baseball 4; Football 2; Intramural Basketball 2; Biology Club 3; Hi-Y 4. “Laney” is one of the leading ladies’ men of the class, and a connoisseur of good clothes. His carefree manner and good nature have caused him to be classed as a good scout. We wish him loads of success. REGAN, JOSEPH “Joe” Classical If by chance you happen to see some new Yo-Yo devise such as a super-charged self winder, with patents pending, don’t be surprised if the inventor is Joseph Regan. On his every side are friends, who can attest to his bright character. Page sixty-three ROBBINS, ARTHUR Art General Class President 4; Tennis 1, 2, 4; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 3, 4; Hi-Y 2. “Art” was chosen to lead his class through their Senior year and is doing a fine job. His good looks and commanding personality have proved him an everlasting source of attraction to the fair sex. “Art” in his spare time plays an important part on the tennis team and is one of the strongest parts of the foundation of our band. ROOK, WILLIAM 15111 Commercial Intramural Basketball 1, 2; Biology Club 2; Hi-Y 4. William seems to know the secret of silence, for to him it is golden, indeed. Even with such a quiet nature we have found him to be most amiable. Rumors have it that he has recently become enamored with one of the fair W. M. I. girls. We are happy to claim him as one of our classmates. ROWLEY, WALTER 'a11 Commercial Baseball 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4; Class Baseball 1. When we wish to start an argument about which major league team is the best, “Walt” is our man. He is an ardent follower of the New York Yankees as one could easily learn during the last World Series. His prowess as a baseball player is beyond question, and some day we may find him attired in a Yankee uniform. SANTANIELLO. ANTHONY “Tony” Classical Track 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Baseball 4; Hi-Y 4. “Tony” is noted for his ability to just get by in his studies.

George is a versatile language and mathematics student as a glance at his report card will show. His safety valve on humor and roguishness is set at zero for George is always overflowing with mirth and mischief. In the light of his accomplishments we overlook his pranks which are so characteristic of all adolescents. SECORA, STANLEY “Stan” General Track 1, 2; Tennis 2, 4; Cross-Country 1, 2; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4. A great builder of sail boats and a still greater yachtsman is our “Stan”. Often during the summer he can be seen striding down the street with a salty air and his mind on the coming races. “Stan” possesses a sterling character and is a friend worth having. SELLECK, HAROLD INGLE “Ingle” Classical Editor-in-Chief of “Whaler” 4; Football 3; Intramural Basketball 1, 2; Class Baseball 1; Hi-Y 4; Mathematics Prize 3; Harvard Alumni Prize 3; Chess Club 4; New England Chorus 4. “Ingle’s” success lies in his inherent reserve and dignity combined with a keen sense of humor and evenness of temper. He reached the top of scholarly attainment because of his ability and studiousness. As Editor-in-Chief of the “Whaler”, “Ingle” has gained more laurels and distinction. Page sixty-five SHEFLOTT, EDWARD “Shef” General Football 3, 4. “Shef” is a quiet type of boy whose agreeable personality has given him many friends. He maintained his athletic standing upon the gridiron this last year as one of the conference’s best ends. SHIFREEN, SEYMOUR “See” Classical Intramural Basketball 1, 3; Class Baseball 2. Shifreen, of the Wilbur-Shifreen Political Debating Club may at some time become well known as an economist. “See” is a scholar and an excellent orator. His questioning nature indicates a constructiveness and progressiveness to be admired. SILVERSTEIN, SOLON “Sol” Classical Football 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 3, 4. Meet Bulkeley’s candidate for All-American. “Sol” is one of our stalwart linemen and has proven of great value to his team. Off the football field he is well mannered and reserved and is highly regarded by all who know him. SMITH. JAMES “Smitty” Commercial Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4. “Smitty” is one of those fellows about whom little is known. Although not blessed with a great scholastic ability, he has steadily progressed in his subjects. His good nature commands the friendship of his classmates.

His election to the offices of captain of the baseball team and president of the Biology Club proves his popularity at Bulkeley. STAMFORD. THOMAS “Stain” General Intramural Sports 1, 3, 4; Class Baseball 4. “Look out, folks! It's contagious.” Yes, sir, “Stam” has an infectious good nature and a cheery smile. A likable and regular “guy”, “Stam” is an ardent follower of sports and is a worthwhile companion. STRAZZA, JAMES “Jimmie” Commercial Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4. “Jimmie” possesses great athletic ability which he has shown on the baseball diamond and on the basketball court. His hobby is model airplane making in which he possesses great talent. Sincere and loyal, he has made numerous friends at Bulkeley. TUNESKI, WILLIAM “Bill” General Baseball 3, 4; Basketball 3, 4; Class Baseball 1, 2. “Bill” seems to have a tough time scholastically, but his persistent efforts have pulled him through. It is upon the basketball court that “Bill” has won recognition and he claims to have played this game on the very day that he learned to walk. Even as an infant he used to practice dribbling. Page sixty-neven VERBILLO, NICHOLAS “Nick” General Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Varsity Club 2, 3, 4; Business Arithmetic Prize 1. “Nick” is a modest and sincere fellow noted for his reserved manner. But put him on the basketball court and he’s a human tornado. He has contributed many of the team’s points and should become an outstanding player in later life. Contrary to the accepted theory, athlete or student, “Nick” also stands high in scholastic achievements. VERENES, COSTOS “Deno” Commercial Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4. “Deno” is a familiar figure about the school and seems to avoid the “deadlier of the species”. He has shown talent in the field of music where he has proved a valuable asset to the orchestra with his violin.

If one hears a violin playing with all the sweetness of a cross-cut saw striking a nail, gaining volume if not tone, and then breaking into a struggle,—’tis “Oesh”. “Oesh” is a great asset to the track team with his managerial ability. “Oesh’s” school spirit and versatility are shown by the interest he takes in school activities. WAIN WRIGHT, WALTER “Walt” Classical Basketball 1, 3, 4; Track 1, 2, 3, 4; Captain 4; Swimming 2; Cross-Country 1, 2, 3, Captain 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Varsity Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 2, 3, 4. Through graduation Bulkeley loses one of her noteworthy athletes. “Walt” has, in the past four years endeavored to attain honor and fame for his school. We feel that he will, as years roll on, become well known in the field of sports. His classmates will always remember him as a true friend. JhsL 193S Whaler Page sixty-eight haduaisJL. WALKER, GEORGE “George” General Football 3; Track 3; Intramural Basketball 2, 4; Class Vice President 1; Potpourri 1; Hi-Y 2, 3, 4; “Whaler” Circulation Manager 4; Tom Sawyer 2.

WALKER, WILLIAM “Willie” College Baseball 2, 3, 4; Football 1, 2, 4; Basketball 2; Class Baseball 1; Varsity Club 4; Hi-Y 2, 3; Junior Prom Committee 3. “Willie” has established a new school record in tardiness and has an inexhaustible repertoire of excuses to go with it. Of his football fame “Willie” has no doubt, and neither have we because we find him hard working and sincere. WASCHMIRTH, ROBERT “Wash” Commercial Intramural Basketball 1, 3; Biology Club 2. The class of 38 is indeed honored to have as one of its number, the one and only “Wash”. Often made jest at by some of his fun-loving friends due to his name, “Wash” has taken many a joke good-heartedly and has shown himself to be a real sport. WHITCOMB. WAYNE “Whit” Classical Intramural Basketball 1, 2; Potpourri 2; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 4; Nathan Hale Play 1. “Whit” is a great sport enthusiast and can always be found following the football team in his six cylinder antique.

Page sixty-nine WIECZOREK, ZIGMUND “Zig” College Football 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 2, 3; Varsity Club 3, 4; Hi-Y 4. Have you ever seen “Zig”? If not, you have missed a treat. He generally provides the class with plenty of laughs and is the Waterloo for most teachers. In his spare time “Zig” drives a truck and can always be depended upon to give his fellow Seniors a lift. WILBUR. GLEN WOOD “Herbie” Commercial Intramural Basketball 3, 4; Class Baseball 3, 4; Hi-Y 3, 4. “Herbie” is another Tech transfer who came into our midst in his Junior year. Bowling is “Herbie’s” favorite pastime and the serious matters of life bother him not at all. WILBUR, GORTON T. “Gort” Classical Track 1, 2; Hockey 1; Potpourri 1; Red Mill 2. “Gort” is one of our greatest authorities on the subject of politics. He argues with anyone for hours on this topic and is often seen in a heated debate with Mr. Pas-quale about such matters. Some day “Gort” will reside in Washington, helping to run our country in a much better way. WILSON, HAROLD “Hank” Classical Football 2, 3, 4; Bowling 3, 4; Biology Club 4. We unveil our fellow student “Hank” as one of the league’s best bowlers. He has gained the respect of his enemies in this field and kept Bulkeley in the run. “Hank” is just a mountain of mirth and good nature and is a popular classmate. JhsL 1938 Payc seventy ZITO.

The word speed fits “Dom”, as he has no equal in the 50 and 100-yard dashes in the state. Off the track he bustles with energy and industry, but has a great habit of getting to classes late. “Dom” has a pleasing personality plus a smile that may explain the cafeteria’s booming business. “He who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a Freshman; pity him. He who knows not and knows that he knows not is a Sophomore; teach him. He who knows and knows not that he knows is a Junior; encourage him. He who knows and knows that he knows is a Senior; respect him.” Anon Page seventy-one IN MEMORY OF COLIN S. BUELL Born January 3, 1861, Died January 30, 1938 The members of the Senior Class wish to honor in behalf of Bulkeley School the memory of one of its former teachers who devoted nearly half a century of his life as a teacher and head master in our sister school across the way. He ardently and unselfishly promoted the educational interests of our community. The kindness, consideration and spirit of affection which he displayed will always be cherished by those who knew him. Pane seventy-two JUNIORS CLASS OFFICERS PAUL SKRIGAN President JOHN CONNOR Secretary-Treasurer JOSEPH PODZALINE Vice President Pape seventy-three JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY It was a rainy day, the day in September that ended our glorious summer vacation. We were going to Bulkeley to enlist as Freshmen. We trod through the rain, braving the storm, and finally arrived at our destination. We entered Bulkeley in large numbers, ready to start a four year journey of happiness and benefit. Thomas Donovan and Victor Shelburn were elected as President and Secretary-Treasurer for our first year. In the annual Potpourri, “Sparkin’ ”, coached by Mr. Hjortland, was judged a close second to the winning Senior play. Paul Skrigan was our best all-round athlete. He represented our class football, basketball, and track teams. We had a part in all extra-curricula activities. We began our Sophomore year fewer in number because a few of our classmates had become so attached to their teachers that they had decided to remain with them for another year. Paul Skrigan was elected as our leader for the coming year. Charles Schulze and Alfred O’Eerne were given individual recognition for their performance in “The Bishop’s Candlesticks”, the Sophomore presentation in the Potpourri. Our representation in athletics, and other school activities increased with our growth and added experience. Again we moved up one rung in the ladder of success and became full fledged Juniors, failures having taken their annual toll. Days grew into months and months into quarters. We reelected Paul Skrigan as our class president. Our talents as amateur actors were inexperienced since the Potpourri had been cancelled for this year. This year’s football team found many Juniors on the squad. Such able athletes as Podzaline, Gerity, Butleman, and Gallup stepped out from our ranks to carry our banners on the gridiron. The faculty has been trying unsuccessfully to dodge candid cameras which present themselves just when they are in their most ridiculous poses. On the swimming squad, Devine and Minevich are representing our class, and in basketball Clark, Fadden, and Gerity are starring. Our class as a whole bids fair to become one of the best classes in Bulkeley history, both in scholastics and sports. 1 938 Page seventy-four Page seventy-five JUNIORS Anger, Paul Baline, Russell Benoit, Wilfred Bergeson, Carl Bigelow, Roswell Blackwell, Dennis Briggs, Henry Butleman, Bernard Butler, Douglas Caldwell, Robert Canning, William Care, Joseph Castagna, Sam Cheney, William Clarke, Donald Clark, Harry Collins, Donald Conary, Lionel Connor, John Constantine, Arthur Corey, Raymond Crocker, William Deffley, John Delap, Charles Devine, Frederick DiPalma, Ondino Doherty, Robert Donovan, Thomas Donovan, William Douton, George Drago, Anthony Dunmire, Arthur Egger, Robert Elfenbein, Marvin Fadden, Vernon Ferro, Nicholas Flaherty, Morgan Freudenstein, Frederic Gaffney, Joseph Gallup, Donald Gaudet, Francis Gerity, Paul Good, Ralph Gorra, George Guinan, Robert Haney, Thomas Harrington, John Hochman, Arthur Hotchkiss, Philip Irlandi, Santo Johnson, Roger Kashanski, Paul Kennedy, Joseph Knox, Harold Kuehne, George LaBoue, Jesse Lazerow, Louis Lena, Hugh Luce, Raymond Lynch, Richard Maher, Donald Manheimer, Seymour Manning, Robert Man waring, James Markoff, Milton Maskalik, Alex McDonnell, John McGuire, Roland McQuillan, William Meyer, Jack Minevich, John Mitchell, William Murphy, William Nahas, Phil O’Brien, Michael Peckham, Arthur Petrowsky, Alexander Pickhardt, Charles Podbelski, Joseph Podzaline, Joseph Powers, Harry Pretto, Charles Reynolds, Lynwood Roche, Thomas Rogers, Elwyn Russell, Philip Salvagna, Alfonso Saunders, Frank Schlink, Donald Schulze, Charles Searle, Russell Shelburn, Victor Sheriff, George Silverstein, Francis Skrigan, Paul Solt, Clyde Spitz, Nathaniel Stickney, George Stokes, Robert Stoner, Carl Strout, Kenneth Strutt, Warren Struzinski, Tony Sullivan, Victor Sword, Norman Walter, Edward Wargo, George Wheeler, Charles Wolfe, Bernard Yates, Witmore Zamkow, Louis 1 938 Page seventy-six SOPHOMORES CLASS OFFICERS CHARLES CAREY President WILLIAM SCOTT Secretary-Treasurer KENNETH BISHOP Vice President Page seventy-seven SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY On a fine autumn day in nineteen thirty-six, a group of bewildered-looking little fellows became the class of nineteen-forty at Bulkeley School. Many questions raced through our young minds on this day of which we had been dreaming. “Would the upperclassmen ‘haze’ us?” “Were the teachers really as hard as we had been told?” It was not long before we abandoned these warped ideas and replaced our Sunday suits with something unconventional. We also ceased our practice of getting lost in the school. Daily we became more accustomed to the school routine and became acquainted with our teachers and fellow students. In our Freshman year we chose Graham Nibbs as our class president and this year as Sophomores we elected Charles Carey to that office. Our class members have entered the many different activities at Bulkeley. We number among us future actors, scholars, athletes, journalists, scientists, and statesmen. Certainly there shall arise from us seme orators and Mr. Ray Reed’s efforts shall not have been in vain. In regard to athletics, we Sophomores have reason to throw out our chests. For two years the champion cross-country team has included many stars of our class, notably Clayton Farrar. Our crack freshman basketball team was one of the best in the school’s history. Most of the members of that team are now on the varsity squad. As freshmen, three of our class were pitchers on the varsity baseball squad. One of these, Harold Morgan, earned his letter. Our class baseball team fared none too well, but we did manage to eke out a victory over the Sophomores. The 1937 football squad included many promising Sophomore prospects. Two, Robert Leary and Frank Henderson, earned their letters. For two years Bulkeley School has been our happy home. We joyfully look forward to the two years that remain. During our stay, we shall strive to measure up to the standards set by Bulkeley men who have gone before us. Their splendid records shall be an incentive to us and will spur us on to greater heights. When it comes our turn, we shall be proud to catch the torch and carry it for the honor of Bulkeley School.

Most of us early in the year overestimated our abilities, but we have learned from upper-classmen and teachers that this does not pay and many a head is now deflated, especially after the somewhat depressing results of the first examination. Since that opening morning in September, we have learned many things about what we should do and what we should not do. We have learned that we must not enter school through the main door under penalty of being “bumped off”. We must not linger in the hall, we must not throw chalk or erasers and, when we receive an admit card to the seventh period, we must keep our date. These “musts”, of course, are really necessary for our own good, and the good of the school. A class of one hundred and fifty or so, containing some “hangovers” who found the 1936-37 educational process too high a hurdle for them, had to get organized. We weren’t quite sure of what happened during the election. We do know some mistakes were made. At any rate we were told that we elected Ernest Wainwright for president, Keith Christianson for vice president, and John Synodi for secretary-treasurer. These results seemed to meet with the approval of the class as a whole. Unfortunate circumstances forced Ernest Wainwright to leave school. The class has seen fit to elevate Keith Christianson to the presidency. After this routine we plunged into Bulkeley life. Bulkeley, you know, is a kind of bee hive. I do not refer now to the class room humming which comes from different sources, including the free use of chalk and erasers. I refer to the various school activities which are open even to freshmen. Some boys prefer one activity, some another. The freshman class was well represented by candidates for the football, cross-country, and swimming teams. Other boys were interested in the musical activities. Already our freshman basketball squad has made a good start. With the help of the teachers and our own efforts, we hope to be a credit to Bulkeley School and to uphold its high standings during the following years of our school life.

This time it marks the death of one who has been an intimate member of our group for eight years. There is no mistaking the keen sorrow which all of us feel who have known Angus MacKay and worked with him here at Bulkeley. There is every reason for saying that Angus MacKay was an exceptional man. Personally, I shall always think of his life and his influence as a striking revelation of the nobility and charm of just a plain man. He enjoyed the companionship of young people, he understood their point of view, he knew their passing ivhims and, foibles, and he shared their enthusiasm for youthful pleasures. The boys who have graduated during the past years, as well as you who are present here today, will never forget Angus MacKay. This is because he was more than the custodian of our school property, the man who year in and year out has kept this building clean, attractive and comfortable. He was a true and inspiring teacher in the sense that he revealed by practice and example the qualities of a man who was trustworthy and highly efficient in all his functions, generous in every impulse of his heart, instant and eager to help anyone who needed his assistance. All of us at Bulkeley—faculty and students alike—have individually lost a warm personal friend and collectively as a school a faithful, diligent engineer and caretaker. -4 s time goes on, and as we mark the passing of others at our side who enter into the more abundant life, ive shall come to realize as we cherish their memories that “the dead live never more to die, and often when we mourn them fled, they never were so nigh”.

Mercer, who gave Bulkeley School an athletic field that is valued at more than $50,000, got his varsity letter at Mercer Field Saturday, October 30, the day of the tenth anniversary of its dedication. Calling attention to the fact that Mercer Field is now used not only by Bulkeley School, but by Chapman Tech, the City League, Yale and Harvard baseball teams, and others as well, Homer K. Underwood presented the “most coveted prize in school sports, to the outstanding letter man of the school”. The presentation climaxed a program of exercises witnessed by Mercer Field directors and Bulkeley School trustees, as well as the large crowd gathered at the field. After the presentation, a special marching exhibition was staged by the combined Bulkeley-W. M. I. Band and a special drill squad of Bulkeley band members. The game between Bulkeley and Crosby followed and in spite of the high spirit of the Bulkeley team and student body, Crosby defeated Bulkeley 20 to 12. In 1927, Bulkeley also suffered a defeat when it lost the dedication game to South Manchester. Until the final quarter it seemed as though the game would be scoreless, but in the last six minutes of play, Fan, Manchester end, intercepted a Bulkeley pass and ran seventy yards for a touchdown. 1938 Page eighty-seven DEDICATION PARADE 1927 Page eighty-eight BULKELEY ATHLETIC FIELD, INC. Alfred Ligourie Thomas S. McGinley Elmer H. Spaulding 1938 Thomas E. Troland President Arthur H. Shurts Treasurer Samuel M. Prentis Graduate Athletic Manager Ten 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 appointment of four additional members to include the following—all good men and true— Arthur H. Shurts, Samuel Prentis, and Homer K. Underwood. Thus it works that the real ownership of Mercer Field is vested in the Alumni. Every boy when he graduates becomes in a very real sense one of the permanent owners of the field. Thomas E. Troland was elected President; C. C. Costello, Vice President; Alfred Ligourie, 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.

Coach 1938 WILLIAM F. O’BRIEN Coach ARMANDO BALDELLI Captain rage ninety-four FOOTBALL The 1937 Tigers, under the coaching of William F. O’Brien and Edward P. Collins, were a stubborn and aggressive team. The season’s record of three victories against five losses does not reveal the tenacity with which they battled their opponents for every minute of the eight games they played. Encountering Bassick High of Bridgeport in the first game of the season at Mercer Field, the Orange and Black crossed the goal line three times before the final whistle blew, winning 20 to 7. Two of the touchdowns were the result of passes by Joe Podzaline, and the third was scored when Armando Baldelli, captain of the 1938 team, plunged over from the two yard line. Hillhouse turned back the Tigers, 19 to 0, after being held to one touchdown in the first half. In the second quarter, Bulkeley had the ball down on the Hillhouse twenty yard line. Again in the third period they crossed into Hillhouse territory, advancing from their own twenty-eight, but they failed to score. The second setback came as an upset at the hands of the Stonington Bears. Two passes carried Stonington over the goal line, and although they didn’t get within striking distance again, it was enough to earn them victory in a hard fought battle. In the second half Bulkeley almost scored on two occasions when they brought the ball to within the ten yard line, and a third time when they went down to the thirteen yard line of the Bears. The final score was 7 to 2, the only points scored by the Orange and Black were made when Silverstein tackled a Stonington man behind the goal line for a safety. The tigers defeated Windham 12 to 0. Touchdowns were scored by Podzaline and Philopena. Podzaline’s passing and punting were important factors in this victory. Emulating Pittsburg’s Panthers with an overpowering offense, after Bulkeley had gained a twelve to nothing advantage over them, Crosby rolled up three touchdowns to emerge the winner in the game which commemorated the tenth anniversary of Mercer Field. The Tigers had scored a touchdown in the first half, and on the first play of the third period after the kick-off, added another when Ray Philopena ran seventy-seven yards to cross the goal line standing up. Crosby immediately came back with a touchdown and added the extra point. Then they forged ahead and duplicated this feat a few minutes later. Another drive netted the third and final tally. The final score was Crosby 20, Bulkeley 12. Fitch, not as dangerous an opponent, was conquered 28 to 0. The passing attack of our boys completely baffled the Tanagers, and they were helpless to prevent us from scoring.

Chapman Tech scored a safety in the first period and clung to their two point advantage for the remainder of the contest, thus gaining ■possession of the Conference Championship. Bulkeley fought doggedly, but only once did they come within scoring range. In the fourth quarter, Baldelli pierced the line for thirty yards up to the Orange and Black forty-five yard line. Adding two more first downs, the Tigers moved down to the Tech twenty-eight yard line. A pass interception stopped their drive at that point, however, and the whistle blew with the ball in the possession of the Huskies. A crowd of 2,500 turned out for the traditional game between Bulkeley and Norwich. On a wet field, the Wildcats broke loose three times for touchdowns, and won their fourth straight victory over the Orange and Black, 19 to 0. Sol Silverstein, tackle, and Armando Baldelli, back, were chosen for the All-Conference eleven at the end of the season. SPRING FOOTBALL In the spring of 1938, Bulkeley inaugurated spring training, and played its first spring football games with Norwich and Windham. Fifty candidates turned out from the three lower classes. They went through three weeks of stiff drilling in fundamentals and climaxed by scrimmaging with Norwich and Windham. The Tigers defeated Norwich 26 to 6, the first time they had been able to gain a gridiron victory over the Wildcats since 1933. Windham offered less resistance than Norwich and went down before a steamroller attack, 33 to 7. The spring session closed with the Windham game, the team disbanding until the following fall. 1938 rage ninety-eight QQ CO QQ BASEBALL The Bengals finished a hard schedule with a record of eight victories in twelve games. This included a conquest over Norwich Free Academy which broke their sensational winning streak of 35 straight victories. The Bulkeley nine got off to a bad start, dropping the opener to the Alumni, 4 to 0. Louis Priolo held the Tigers to three singles. Czekala, Maskalik and Morgan all took a turn on the mound against the former Bulkeley stars. Journeying to Willimantic, they received their second setback. Windham, staging a three run rally in the sixth, defeated the Tigers, 5 to 3, in a conference game. Bulkeley gained its first victory of the season over Stonington. Slamming out sixteen hits, the Tigers scored fifteen runs against two for the Blue and White. Uguccioni drove in five runs with a double and two singles. Captain Danny Czekala pitched a three hit shutout in the next game, over Chapman Tech. The Tigers scored two runs in the first inning, and although they did not score again, it was sufficient for victory. A hit by Uguccioni and an error by Antoniac, Tech shortstop, who threw the ball into the third base bleachers, scored the runs. Harold “Lefty” Morgan, a rookie pitcher, started against Saybrook. In seven innings he fanned fourteen men, and gave up only three hits, to win 12 to 5. Uguccioni and Danny Czekala supplied long distance slugging. “Rocky” circled the bases for a home run inside the park. Czekala hit a pair of doubles. For eleven innings, Bulkeley and Norwich battled on even terms, but in the twelfth the Wildcats broke loose and scored three times, to win the game 5 to 2. Czekala pitched the whole twelve innings and struck out thirteen batters. He had excellent control except for the final frame when he walked Congdon, Norwich first baseman, and forced in the winning run. Another hit pushed around two more who scored before Czekala tightened up and finished the inning. Morgan pitched the Tigers to their second win over Stonington. He blanked the Bears for eight innings, then allowed them to score three (Continued on page 102) 1938 Page one hundred, BASEBALL Czekala Gustini Uguccioni Hinkley Nauta Speziali Action—Bulkeley vs. Chapman Tech Rowley Morgan Shelburn Wilensky Mgr.

At Norwich, the Tigers got their revenge and defeated the Academy-team, 8 to 6, at the same time putting an end to the Wildcat’s string of victories. Czekala pitched the game for the Orange and Black, fanned eleven men, and also knocked in two of the runs. Fitch was blanked, 4 to 0, with Morgan and Moltz holding the Tana-gers to five hits. In the same week, the Tigers added another victory in a ten inning contest with Hartford Public, as Morgan came out victorious in a pitching duel with Hartford’s ace, 3 to 2. Going into the seventh inning, the Tigers held a three to one advantage over Tech. However, in the seventh the Huskies put on a rally which netted six runs, and gave them the ball game 7 to 4. This victory for Tech eliminated Bulkeley from any further chance of winning the Eastern Connecticut Conference. The Tigers played their final game of the season with Braintree, and won it easily, 5 to 0. Morgan and Czekala shared the shutout.

After two unsuccessful years, Coach O’Brien finally discovered a combination which was as good, if not better than any previous Tiger court team. Although they did not win the Championship, the Orange and Black was not eliminated until the deciding game with Chapman Tech. Seven lettermen were back, Co-Captains Gunderson and Uguccioni; Verbillo, Grippo, Walker, Matthews and Skrigan. Added to these were several promising newcomers, including Nauta and Apanaschik, who were on the first five before the season ended. In the first game of the season, Bulkeley swamped Chester, 58 to 6, with Dick Walker and Paul Skrigan together tallying twenty-five points. Saybrook failed to give the Bengals much opposition and it was another victory 51 to 14. Uguccioni was high scorer with eleven counters. Skrigan’s shot from under the basket, in the last thirty-five seconds of the game beat a strong alumni team, 27 to 26. It was the Tigers’ first test under fire, and the way in which they came through gave promise of a successful season. Fitch was the next vicitim. They put up a good fight for the first two periods, but the Tigers pulled away in the last half to win easily, 29 to 15. Bulkeley got off to another bad beginning against Putnam Trade. The score was tied, 10 to 10, at half time, but a sixteen point rally in the third period left the visitors far behind, and when the final whistle blew the score was 35 to 17. It was the Tigers’ fifth straight triumph. Putting up a brilliant defense, the Tigers turned back Weaver High of Hartford, 18 to 13. Bulkeley totaled only two points for the final period, but an early six point lead gave them an advantage which the chargers of Coach Fred Stone were never able to overcome. Bulkeley took its first defeat of the season at the hands of Windham. Thirteen points were scored in the final period, with four apiece being accounted for by Co-Captain Bob Gunderson and Paul Skrigan. But they were not enough to stretch the string to seven straight victories, and the final score was Windham 26, Bulkeley 23. Back in stride again Bulkeley met Norwich, and came out on top, 22 to 20. Gunderson tossed a field goal from midcourt and added a foul throw which meant the victory. 1 938 Page one hundred six Seated, left to right—Levine, Bergman, Apanasehik, Skrigan, Capt.

The result was that the Tanagers handed Bulkeley its second setback of the season. Tom and Eddie Sullivan helped Fitch avenge their early season loss, scoring sixteen points apiece. The game ended 45 to 39. Weaver bowed for the second time, this time on their own floor. The final score was Bulkeley 24, Weaver 22. Co-Captain Enrico “Rocky” Uguccioni sank six out of seven free throws, and Nick Verbillo, who scored eight points and who was high scorer for the evening, was one of the standouts of the game. In a benefit game for the Red Cross, the Tigers turned back New Haven Commercial, 29 to 27. Bulkeley led throughout the game, and it wasn’t until the last period that the New Haven team began to threaten their lead. Windham was defeated in a return contest in the Bulkeley gym, 24 to 16. The game was rough and tumble all the way, but the Bengals decidedly outplayed the Callaghan coached outfit and won by their superior playing. Norwich was trounced 29 to 23 before a capacity crowd of 800 in the Norton Gymnasium. Skrigan and Uguccioni were the stars in the Bulkeley triumph. Although they outplayed Tech in the first half, and battled to a deadlock at the end of three quarters, the Tigers weakened in the final period and thus lost the Championship to the Red and Black in their first meeting in the Y. M. C. A. Gym. Tech scored nine points in the fourth quarter to Bulkeley’s single foul and made it a rout. The final score was Chapman Tech 31, Bulkeley 23. Bulkeley was thwarted in an attempt to break back into the win column again by Bassick. The Green emerged victorious, 24 to 21, after a hard fought battle. Rolling up forty-five points, and holding the New London Business College to twenty counters, the Tigers came through to annex another victory, and came out of a slump which they had been in since the Norwich game. Tech used only five men in conquering the Bengals for the second straight time. They did not call on one substitute, and won 31 to 26. The Tigers slipped behind in the second period and Tech built up a 17 13 lead before the intermission. In the final half, the Bengals played on even terms, but could not eradicate the Huskies’ lead, though at one time they were but one point away. In the final game of the season, Bulkeley bowed to Bassick 26 to 20. After leading 10 to 6 in the first half, the Tigers were overcome by a fourteen point avalanche in the third period. The season closed with twelve victories as against six losses. Nick Verbillo’s excellent playing earned him a place on the All-Conference five, and Uguccioni and Skrigan were placed on the second team. Lettermen for the season included Enrico Uguccioni, Dick Walker, Fred Grippo, Russell Nauta. Paul Skrigan, Henry Apanaschik, Nick Verbillo, Bob Bergman, Ralph Levine, and Manager Edwin Goldfried. 1938 Page one hundred eight K COACH JOSEPH STETSON CAPTAIN SECCHIAROLI TRACK SEASON Meet Indoor Interscholastics Place Middletown Bulkeley Opp. State Relays Storrs 8 Norwich New London 441 2 621 Chapman Tech New London 67 % 40% Rhode Is.

TRACK The 1937 track team was coached by Mr. Joseph Stetson who had taken over the reigns from former coach Frank Hamlen the year before. Considering the fact that many members of the varsity track team were either graduated or not able to participate, the season was a fairly successful one. Forty-two boys turned out to answer the call for candidates, thus showing that this team possessed an unusual amount of enthusiasm. The results were gratifying in view of the lack of experience and other set-backs such as Skrigan’s loss due to an appendectomy. The schedule was rather a difficult one which entitles the team members to a great deal more credit than results signified. The team was strong in the running events but lacked strength in the field events to register impressively on the score sheet. Page one hundred eleven 1938 In the Indoor Interscholastics at Wesleyan, Dorn Zito took fo' h place in the forty-five yard dash, and gave Bulkeley eleventh place among the class A schools. Zito ran the 100 yards in ten and five-tenths seconds to establish a new record in the Connecticut State Relays which were held at Storrs. Paul Gerity finished second in the 120 yard hurdles at Storrs to give the Tigers a total of eight points. Bulkeley was defeated in the first dual meet by Norwich, 621 2 to 441 2. Zito won the hundred, Gerity took the hurdles and also won the 140, Bud Farrar came through in the half mile run, Paul Skrigan won the broad jump and tied for the pole vault, but the Tigers were defeated in the weight events. In the shotput, javelin throw and the discus, Norwich piled up a lead of twenty-one points. Our first victory came at the expense of our home town rivals, the Chapman Tech Huskies. Taking eight of the twelve events, with Zito and Gerity both winning twice, the Tigers won 67! to 40%. Journeying to the next state, Bulkeley entered in the Rhode Island Interscholastics which were held at Kingston. They were unable to defend the championship won last year, and Manchester became out-of-state title-holders, scoring 51 points, while the Tigers, in third place, gathered only 17. Bulkeley was runner-up to Norwich in the Conference meet, finishing 12 points behind the Matt Sheridan men. A complete laxity in the field events was responsible for the Tigers’ undoing. However, there was a bright spot in Dorn Zito’s victory in the hundred yard dash which tied the conference record of 10.1. Hillhouse defeated Bulkeley 78 to 21 in the final dual meet of the season. The powerful New Haven squad, which won the state championship the previous year, took all but three events. Walter Wainwright set a new track record for Donovan Field in the mile run which he ran in 4:48.9. Albo Secchiaroli took firsts in both the discus and the shot-put. 1 938 Page one hundred twelve AUTOGRAPHS Mr. O’Brien, Secretary Mr. Gagnon Mr. Silva Mr. Collins, Mr. Conrad, Mr. Norris, Treasurer; Mr. Falconer, Chairman; Mr. Stetson Page one hundred fourteen M N O S R P SWIMMING TENNIS BOWLING FRESHMAN BASKETBALL S CROSS-COUNTRY INTERCLASS BASEBALL Page one hundred fifteen SWIMMING SEASON The Bulkeley swimming team, coached by Arthur B.

In the next meet the Tigers were victorious over Meridan, 57 to 18, winning all the events except the 160 yard relay. Hartford Public handed Bulkeley its second setback of the season. The state champions had such men as Dave Tyler, who later in the year broke the interscholastic record for the 220, and took every event except the 40 yard freestyle won by Albo Secchiaroli. The Tigers bowed to the Trinity Jayvees at Hartford, 41 to 34, then took Manchester 40 to 35, in the Y pool. Crosby turned back our mermen 44 to 31, and it was their fourth defeat in five league meets. Warren Harding Coach Conrad gained a 39 to 36 decision with Charlie Quarry on the sidelines and Louis Gustini just recovering from illness. The Trinity Jayvees were swamped 50 to 25 in a return meet at the Y. M. C. A. Another victory was added when they defeated West Haven, 461 2 to 28i . In the final meet of the season, Bulkeley triumphed over Manchester 38 to 33 with Secchiaroli, Paige, Fadden and Minevich clinching first places in their events. In the State Interscholastic swimming meet held in New Haven, Fred Devine, Harold Henrickson and Wilfred Benoit scored a victory in the novice medley relay. Secchiaroli also took third place in the 50 yard dash.

Starting out by defeating William Hall 4 to 3, after coming up from behind with victories in two double matches, they went on to win four straight before they received a setback at the hands of Hillhouse. Windham was defeated 4-0, Tech 5-2 and Norwich 5-2. Hillhouse gained a 7 to 2 victory over the Tigers. Middletown turned back Bulkeley for the second defeat of the season. The score was 5 to 3. However, the netmen came back to make it two in a row over Tech, 4-3 and swamped Norwich, 6 to 0. In the final meet before the Eastern Connecticut tournament, they defeated New Britain 4 to 1. Bulkeley won the Eastern Connecticut Conference Championship with a total of 31 points. Jack Mitchell won the individual championship defeating Leonard Wrona, Norwich’s ace, in straight sets, and the double combination of Kenneth MacDonald and George Wargo was also successful.

Those receiving minor letters were Hollandersky, Wilson, Balkansky, Poreda, Schinman, Kenyon and Szablowski. Coach Silva has arranged for games with Norwich, Fitch and Chapman Tech on this year’s schedule. Although five stalwarts graduated in ’37 the Bulkeley Bowlers are not discouraged and will no doubt turn in a creditable performance in 1938. Page one hundred nineteen 1938 FRESHMAN BASKETBALL Forty Freshmen answered Coach Silva’s call for candidates. Before the opening game on February 15, the number was reduced to thirteen which comprised the Freshman Basketball squad. The first game was with the Y Junior Leaders. Joe Epps scored ten points and paced the yearlings to a 26 to 14 victory. The next game was an exciting contest with the Y. M. C. A. All-Stars. After a bad first half, the Freshmen came back and won the game on Ray Dondero’s foul shot, made after the final whistle had been blown. Jarvis, a six-footer who played the pivot position, accounted for twenty points in the 45 to 13 triumph over the Rotary Leaders. The Y Junior Leaders were again defeated 36 to 8. The two forwards, Cupello and Duggan, scored ten points apiece. A rally in the second half fell short, and Room 24 became the Freshmen’s fifth victim. Perry and Apanaschik did a good job in holding down the forwards for the intramural five. Perry also scored nine points of the team’s total. The score was Freshmen 26, Room Twenty-four 20. -i,.„.Tlle Frosh took the road for the first time when they journeyed to YVillimantic to meet the Windham yearlings. They bowed to the Thread city lads, 20 to 13, and thus received their first setback of the season Lut back in the Bulkeley gym they trounced the Norwich Freshmen, 41 to 6. Duggan was high scorer with fourteen points. Then in a return game with Windham they got revenge in a 26 to 16 victory. Norwich was defeated again, 42 to 4. The next game was with the Tiger Jayvees which resulted in a 21 to 15 win for the Jayvees However, the Freshmen held a 7 to 3 advantage at the half, and they made their more experienced opponents earn their victory. A 44 to 4 win over the Hamburger All-Stars put the Freshmen back in the win column again In the final game of the season they met the Chapman Tech Freshmen. Leary’s aggressive playing kept the yearlings in the fight for three periods, but in the final quarter Tech unleashed a furious attack which netted twelve points, and the Red and Black came out victorious, 25 to 13. The Freshman team of 1936-37 made an impressive record with nine wins as against three losses. Much of the credit belongs to Coach Silva who has, in the four years he has been coaching the first year men, discovered and developed a large number of players, most of whom have continued playing basketball and have become members of the varsity basketball squad. 1 938 Faye one hundred twenty THE SEASON Opponent F rosh Opponent: Y Junior Leaders 26 14 Y All-Stars 28 27 Rotary Leaders 45 13 Y Junior Leaders 36 8 Room 24 26 20 Windham 13 20 Norwich 41 6 Windham 26 20 Norwich 42 9 Jayvees 15 21 Hamburgers 44 4 Chapman Tech 13 25 First Row, left to right—Coach Silva, R.

ORCHESTRA The Orchestra, organized sixteen years ago by its director, Mr. Howard T. Pierce, has again proved that it is one of the best organizations of its kind in New England at the annual Music Festival held in May of 1937 at Gloucester, Massachusetts where it attained an A rating. Representatives also went to Hyannis, Massachusetts to play in the All-New England Orchestra. The orchestra is now engrossed in its winter program, which includes playing for various theatrical performances which takes place in New London, and rehearsing for the New England Music Festival, to be held, this spring, at Burlington, Vermont. The Bulkeley-W. M. I. music organizations will be hosts to the All-New England Music groups on March 16, 17, 18, and 19, when their festival is scheduled to be held in New London. Howard T. Pierce BULKELEY GLEE CLUB INTERESTS During the past few years there has been a gradual decline in the interests for a glee club at Bulkeley until today we find only a few who represent Bulkeley in vocal music. Douglass Hicks is one of our old standbys, representing Bulkeley at Hyannis, Mass., in the All-New England Chorus last year. E. Bergeson and F. Chipman also have taken a great deal of interest in attempting to maintain a glee club at Bulkeley. With the coming of the All-New England Festival to New London this year, we find a few more, who will represent Bulkeley in the chorus. Those accepted this year were: Tenors: Douglass Hicks, William Belcher. Basses: Ernest Bergeson, Franklin Chipman, Edward Looker and Harold Selleck. These boys have rehearsed, under Mr. Pierce’s direction, with the W. M. I. glee club because of the small size of the group. 1938 Page one hundred twenty-six BAND The Bulkeley Band is also celebrating its tenth anniversary this year. During the past ten years it has become one of the most important organizations at Bulkeley. Under the most capable leadership of our music director, Mr. Howard T. Pierce, it has made a very creditable name for our school by playing and triumphing in many musical competitions throughout New England. In March, most of the members of our band traveled to Hyannis, Massachusetts to play in the All-New England High School Band, March 11-16. The combined Bulkeley-W. M. I. band played a joint concert at Buell Hall on April 2 with the Pawtucket High School Band. In return our organization traveled to Pawtucket, Rhode Island to play on April 16. Cur musicians also participated in the annual New England Music Festival at Gloucester, Massachusetts on May 21 and 22. The combined band journeyed to Springfield, Massachusetts and gave a pleasing concert together with the Springfield Tech Band on June 2. This coming year the musical organizations of our school and our sister school, W. M. I., will be the hosts and hostesses of the All-New England Band and Orchestra on March 16, 17, 18, and 19.

I. faculty play, “Meet the Wife”, brought a capacity audience to Buell Hall on March 5. It was one of the most successful undertakings of Bulkeley and W. M. I. during the past year. Mr. Ray Reed is worthy of recognition for his part in coaching the play although, at his request, his name was not publicly mentioned in connection with this production. Through his efforts and those of the stage crew, under Mr. Stetson’s supervision, as well as the cast, the play was acclaimed throughout the city as an outstanding achievement. The play was a financial success in that it greatly enlarged the book funds of our school and our sister school, W. M. I. The cast was as follows: Gertrude Lennox—Rose Camassar Harvey Lennox—Frank Hamlen Philip Lord—William R. Canty Doris Bellamy—Louise S. Rafferty Gregory Brown—John E. Gagnon Victor Staunton—John J. Gorman, Jr. William, the butler—Homer K. Underwood Alice, the maid—Isabel E. Colby 38 Page one hundred twenty-eight First Row, left to light—H.

THE BENGAL WEEKLY A growing and sturdy child of three years, the Bengal Weekly has now become one of the fixed institutions in Bulkeley School life. In addition to keeping the school spirit fresh and alive to the many school activities taking place each week, it presents an excellent opportunity for student expression and is invaluable for its instruction in journalism. Before the close of each school year, the members of the retiring editorial staff and other staff members are banqueted and awards are made to members of the graduating class. The retiring editors are Arnold Herbert and Warren Carlson, co-editors-in-chief; Spero Constantine, sports editor; and Frank Bongaret, business manager. The editors of 1938-39 Bengal Weekly staff, as announced by John K. Balentine, faculty advisor, are Paul Kashanski, editor-in-chief; Richard Ballman, assistant editor; John Carpenter, news editor, who will write the “Tigertown Topics” column; John Cullen, sports editor; and Harold Abrams, business manager. Page one hundred twenty-nine 1938 BIOLOGY CLUB Now considered an essential part of Bulkeley School, the Biology Club, organized by Mr. Hjortland, carries on traditions in the making. Superbly supervised and aided by Mr. Hjortland, the club has presented a series of lectures which have been open to the public, given by eminent professional men. Andrew Speziali was elected President of this year’s group, with Harold Hendrickson Vice President. Club functions, including attending lectures at the U. S. C. G. Academy, proved to be interesting and desirable. Mr. John Troland gave his experienced guidance at many of the programs. The club’s yearly exhibition of biological specimens and oddities, which all are invited to attend, will be repeated as expected.

WHALER ASSISTANTS The Whaler Assistants are members of the Junior Class who have helped make each volume of the “Whaler” a success by their efficiency in contacting the merchants of New London to contribute to the advertising section. The financial success of this year’s “Whaler” depended on their faithfulness in carrying out their assignments. They are especially the representatives of Bulkeley School in their capacity as Whaler Assistants, and they help introduce our school as well as the yearbook to the public. They have definitely attained the standard of the Whaler Assistants of the preceding annuals. They are to be commended for their contributions and their fine spirit of cooperation. Their experience this year as Whaler Assistants will be invaluable to them in serving on the staff of the next “Whaler”. 1938 Pape one hundred thirty-one. THE SENIOR Hl-Y The 1937-38 Bulkeley Senior Hi-Y Club, again under the counselor-ship of Mr. Hector Hughes, started its activities with a membership of thirty-three boys. Harry Bychkowsky was chosen President, Ralph Bernstein Vice-President, Duncan Smith Secretary and Treasurer, and Joseph Olzacki Sergeant-at-Arms. This year’s club intends to revive the Spring Hop which was not held last year. A social program for the club members has been outlined, as well as numerous speakers, debates and discussions, covering events which are of interest to the Senior Hi-Y Club. Other activities include joint meetings with Chapman Tech Hi-Y clubs, and clubs from Norwich Free Academy. The Hi-Y Club sent representatives to the Connecticut Older Boy’s Conference held in Bridgeport. With such a fine group of officers and counselor, together with interesting programs, the Senior Hi-Y seems to be headed for a successful year. First Row, left to right—Schinman, Bowler, Selleck, A.

ROOM CAPTAINS The “Whaler” is deeply indebted to the boys who served as room captains, for it is the work of these fellows that helped to keep the “Whaler” out of debt. The room captains were responsible for the collection of installments on the year book, and they did an enviable job. The room captains were chosen because they had ability “to draw blood from a turnip” and they seemed to do the impossible when it came to collecting money for payments on the “Whaler”, from students who are always claiming to be “broke”.

Mr. Silva—“And now do you all know the story of the Golden Fleece?” Dunn—“Do they bite?” Father—“What do you mean by bringing my daughter home at this hour?” Bull—“Say listen; I gotta be in class by eight-thirty!” ❖ Bucko—“I’m a self-made man.” Constantine—“Gee, Bucko, that’s what I like about you. You always take the blame for everything.” McGuirk—“Will you help me with this problem?” “Prof”—“I would, only I don’t think it would be right.” Betty—“Do you want to see where I was operated on?” Partridge (eagerly)—“Yes.” Betty—“Well, we’re just two blocks from the hospital now.” ❖ ❖ Grippo (after accident)—“Did you get that fellows number?” Cascio—“No, he was going too fast.” Grippo—“Say, that was a fine looking dame in the car.” Cascio—“Wasn’t she!” “P. F.”—Mr. Falconer, is off with his “math” explanations. Daghlian—“How so?” “P. F.”—“Because he says ‘pie are square’, and I know ‘pie is round!” ❖ ❖ “Which would you most desire in your husband,” said one W. M. I. girl to another, “brains, wealth, or appearance?” “Appearance,” promptly replied the other “and the sooner the better.” French—“Schwartz is the biggest liar in Bulkeley.” Gladys—“Oh, don’t be so modest.” Betty—“Don’t forget to come for the week-end, Stock’.” Barner—“Okay. Shall I bring my knight clothes?” Itzkowitz—“I am going to kiss you before I leave this room.” (One of the many) “Leave this room immediately.” v ❖ J. J. Murphy and McCarthy were watching the barber singe Riley’s hair. Murphy—“Gee, he’s hunting ’em with a light!” Ilobron—“You ought to hear the crazy questions “Doc” asks.” Gorra—“That’s nothing. You ought to hear the answers I give him.” Dentist—“I’m sorry but I am out of gas.” Esposito—“My gosh! Do dentists pull that stuff too?” Page one hundred thirty-six Wasehmirth—“Here comes mv plucky girl.” Bowler—“How do you know?” Wasehmirth—“I can tell by her eyebrows.” ❖ Mary—“Would you like to take a long walk?” Verbillo—“Oh, I would love to.” Mary—“Then don’t let me detain you a minute.” Mr. Attwill—“There’s a fly in the bottom of my cup. What is the meaning of it?” Matthews—“Sir, I’m a waiter, not a fortune teller.” Hobron—“Say there, you’re giving me a piece of bone.” Mrs. Mac—“On the contrary, my boy, you’re paying for it.” She—“Is it my head on your shoulder that thrills you?” Grippo—“No, I’m sitting on an anthill.” Ruth—“What are you thinking about?” Potari—“The same thing you are.” Ruth—“If you do I’ll scream.” “Any luck” asked the farmer as he came upon a man fishing in a pond. The angler shook his head. Later that day the farmer appeared again. “Any luck?” he asked once more. “No” muttered mister Silva, “Are there any fish in this pond?” “Don’t rightly know,” mused the farmer.” The pond wasn’t here yesterday.” Parson said—“It is better to have halitosis than no breath at all. Emile—“I’ve just heard that a man out West traded his wife for a horse. You wouldn’t do that to me, would you?” Kohrs—“Never. But I’d hate to have anyone tempt me with a good car.” .% . • Pumerantz—“Schwartz is a kleptomaniac.” Alter—“A kleptomaniac?” Pumerantz—“Yeh, a person who helps himself because he can’t help himself.” Dembek—“If all the people who sleep in classes were laid end to end—” Ballassi—“Yeh” Dembek—“They would be a lot more comfortable.” Dunn—“I danced with a girl all night before I found out her nationality.” Corcoran—“What was it?” Dunn—“She was full of scotch.” Philopena—“I want your daughter for my wife.” Mr. Lathrop—“Young man, you go home and tell your wife she can’t have my daughter.” Mis. Hall—“What was the text in Sunday School this morning, dear?” C. Hall—“You should worry, here comes the quilt.” A. Hall—“It was not either, mama.” C. Hall—“What was it then, smarty?” A. Hall—“It was, ‘Fear not, the Comforter cometh’.” Howard swallowed his little watch, Now the watch is gone. Howard walks along the street— Time marches on. ❖ ❖ Izzy’s—2:40 Matthews—“What can I do for you?” Maynard—“I want apple pie.” Miller—“I want cherry pie.” Murphy—“Give me pineapple.” Matthews—“Is that all?” Maynard—“No, I want my pie without vanilla ice cream on it.” Miller—“Have you chocolate ice cream?” Matthews—“Yes.” Miller—“O. K. I’ll have my pie without chocolate ice cream.” Murphy—“Do you have strawberry ice cream?” Matthews—“No, I’m sorry. Would you like to have it without some other kind?” Murphy—“Cancel the order! If I can’t have my pineapple pie without strawberry ice cream, then I won’t eat it.” Page one hundred thirty-seven Zito—“Something seems to be wrong with the engine.” Alice—“Don’t be foolish; wait until we get off the main highway.” • Rowley—“Go back and lick Wasch-mirth.” Strazza—“But he’s given me two black eyes.” Rowley—“He can't give you any more can he?” Brown—“I hear, Dot only likes blonds.” Balzaretty—“So they say, I’m dyeing to meet her.” Mrs. Walker—“I’m ashamed of you.

See how intelligently he breathes.” v ♦ • Mr. Underwood (enthusiastically)— “Out of the entire school, only one student is absent today. Let us hope that he is ill.” Most people hate to ride in a patrol wagon, but it’s got to do in a pinch. An optimist is a guy who thinks his wife has quit cigarettes when he finds cigar butts around the house. Cascio—“Don’t you know that drinking will ruin your stomach?” Del Monte—“That’s all right. It won't show with my coat on.” ❖ : Neale—“You had an accident Mr. Norris? Sorry to hear about it.” Mr. Norris—“Oh thanks, it’s nothing. I expect to live through many more.” Neale—“Oh, I hope not, sir.” ❖ ❖ Father—“The man who marries my daughter will need a lot of money.” Miller—“I’m just the man for her then.” Mr. Stetson—“Darn it! This soup I bought is ice cold. Mrs. Mac—“Oh, well, there is no use getting hot over it.” ♦ v Judge—“What is your name, occupation, and what are you charged with?” Prisoner—“My name is Sparks, I am an electrician, and I am charged with battery.” Judge—“Officer, put this man in a dry cell.” v v Judge—“What brought you here?” Barnes—“Two policemen.” Judge—“Drunk, I suppose?” Barnes—“Yes, both of them.” v ♦ v John (janitor)—“Mr. Peck, nice tie you got there.” Mr. Peck—“You bet your life.” John—“I’ll bet I know where you got it.” Mr. Peck—“Where?” John—“Around your neck.” Evelyn (watching football huddle on field)—“They’re at it again. I do hope Willie Walker won’t repeat that joke I told him last night.” � ;« .;. Bucko (pointing to cigarette stub on floor)—“Ilayes, is that yours?” Hayes—“Not at all, ‘Buck’—you saw it first.” Page one hundred thirty-eight y Name of Finn Page A Ailing Rubber Co. ---------------------------155 Alexanders Service Station ----------------- 165 Alex Taylor Ac Co.-------------------------171 A ben Hardware------------------------------164 B Benois, Christos ____________________________16- Billard Academy ____________________________146 Boyer, Max __________________________________154 Baline, Furrier ---------------------------- 155 Burr.

Page one hundred forty-two THE BULKELEY WHALER 1938 NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY 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 pictures 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-operative Plan The Cooperative 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 contacts which prove valuable in later years.

What a BERG, MAN, what a burg. Not a BARNER any HOLMES did this snow storm oMIT; CHELL after c'hell cooled the HICKS LEVINE there until all of them were SEC, ORA SHIFREEN in their PUMERANTZ. Of KOHRS no ROBBINS were there to STRUTT around, as the snow was CONSTANTINE its fall. Every HALL sure did PHILOPENA hurry and DOUGLASS-like snow soon did COVER every BROWN patch of ground. Colonel ROOK and his son, Delli, had set out to hunt PARTRIDGE with their BEEBE gun. “O’CONNELL ROOK,” said Delli, “there’s a BULL that got LUCE (poor LUCE). Shall I be Daniel BOONE and PIERCE him with my SILVA BEEBE?” “ORCUTT out the GAG; NON of your WHIT. COME with me and we’ll get a FALCON-ER a BUCK. Oh look at the little chicken!” “How’d it APANASCHIK is out here? What’s she sitting UNDER? WOOD it be all right for me to BOWLER over with my gun?

Let’s build a fire down by that MILLER by that CLIFT.” “I’ll be SHEF.” “LOTT you know about cooking HAM. LEN me your knife. Put that REED in the fire; it WILBERn. Don’t go too near that EDGE! COMB BECKWITH that knife, Delli!” Colonel ROOK proceeded to BALDELLI out for what he’d DUNN. We’ll BACKUS up our ‘tinlizZI’ TO the North Pole which is also in the GRIPPO the storm. Mrs. Claus is CULLEN to her SANTA “NIELLO mind going on your trip this year. HOWARD you get through? You’ll have to ALTER your plans,” she says, as she makes a MOCHON to push back her BRADY hair. Santa sets his BRAYNE to work. “I know that ITZKOW, ITZ freezing out, the storm’s a CORCORAN I MAY get stuck, but I can always WALKER hitch-hike.” Santa tries to fool HERBERT he fails. “Everything’s prepared,” says Santa. “BALLASSI asked for skis, I have the PERRY wanted; JENKS’ girl saw me and I had to BAIER a DAGHLI, AN even the big, clumsy medicine BALZARETTY for Mr. COLLINS.

What a burg, man, what a burg. Not a barn or any homes did this snow storm omit; chill after chill cooled the hicks living there until all of them were sick, or shivering in their pants. Of course no robins were there to strut around, as the snow was constant in its fall. Every hole sure did fill up in a hurry and the glasslike snow soon did cover every brown patch of ground. Colonel Rook and his son, Delli, had set out to hunt partridge with their bee-be gun. “Oh Colonel Rook”, said Delli, “there’s a bull that got loose, (poor Luce). Shall I be Daniel Boone and pierce him with my silver bee-be?” “Aw cut out the gag; none of your wit. Come with me and we’ll get a falcon or a buck. Oh look at the little chicken!” “How’d it happen a chick is out here? What’s she sitting under? Would it be all right for me to bowl her over with my gun? Will anything happen if I miss?” “Say, don’t pick on that chicken. It’s too small. My ears are cold. Let’s build a fire down by that mill or by that cliff.” “I’ll be chef”. “Lot you know about cooking ham. Lend me your knife. Put that reed in the fire; it will burn. Don’t go too near that edge! Come back with that knife, Delli!” Colonel Rook proceeded to bawl Delli out for what he’d done. We’ll back us up in our ‘tinlizzi’ to the North Pole which is also in the grip of the storm. Mrs. Claus is calling to her Santa. “Never mind going on your trip this year. How would you get through? You’ll have to alter your plans,” she says, as she makes a motion to push back her braidy hair. Santa sets his brain to work. “I know that it’s cold, it’s freezing out, the storm’s a corker and I may get stuck, but I can always walk or hitchhike.” Santa tries to fool her, but he fails. “Everything’s prepared”, says Santa. “Ballassi asked for skis, I have the pair he wanted; Jenks’ girl saw me and I had to buy her a dolly, and even the big, clumsy medicine balls are ready for Mr. Collins. I’ve everything for Mr. Conrad’s math. Youse can’t get in my hair! I won’t stand for this! I can’t take them back to the workshop to sell; heck! they won’t be any good!” “Leave it to me. I’ll pay you in cash for your troubles—just a minute—there’s the money in the palm of your hand.” “That will be enough.” “Don’t move, I want to swat that fly on your foreknee,—er, I’ll bet I win,—son of a gun,—might have known it would be slippery as an eel.

Happy is the student who meets Mr. Stetson. His other troubles are soon forgotten. Whom the profs would flunk, they first make glad. There is no sense in keeping your homework at home. Profs pass those they must; they flunk those whom they please. All students are the same and some are worse. When you are looking for an opening be sure you do not fall in. Love is a man’s crazy desire to become a woman’s meal ticket. Love will not be denied.—Ask Walker Walker. If the power used by Bulkeley students in making up excuses could be harnessed it would take the N. Y. N. H. H. R. R. out of the red. Never tell W. M. I. girls not to tell, it puts the idea into their heads. Stupid students have their uses. They give bright ones additional opportunities. A student who thinks all he says may be wise; but the student who says all he thinks is foolish.

Exercise is absolutely essential, so it is wise to keep your jaws going during assembly. 2. To avoid fatigue it is advisable to lean on your desk while reciting. 3. If you are tired and feel out of sorts, take a short nap, preferably in Room 20. 4. Keep candy bars in your pockets in case of hunger. 5. You need fresh air; this can be supplied by a stroll to Room 22. 6. Growing children should not have their brains overtaxed, always remind your teachers of this fact. 7. Drink plenty of water, then leave classrooms at your leisure. 8. Never worry about your grades. Undoubtedly the folks at home are worried so what is the use of so many people worrying about the same thing. STAFF SUPERLATIVES Most conceited ...... Most demerits ....... Most tardy ..........
