His keen sense of humor and his outstanding dramatic ability have won him many friends. RAY T. REED FREDERICK WILLIAM EDGERTON A TRIBUTE The Bulkeley Whaler salutes a distinguished Bulkeley Alumnus, Frederick William Edgerton, graduate of Harvard University, former head of the English Department of this school, Librarian at the Public Library of New London and member of the Board of Education since 1915. In the latter connection, he has also served as secretary for nineteen years and president for three years. Mr. Edgerton is a prominent member and officer of the Royal Arch Masons. In this organization he has served as Secretary Recorder in the Lodge, Chapter, Council, and Commandry since 1927 and as Grand High Priest in 1938-1939. Mr. Edgerton’s scholarship and his official honors do not reveal the real charm and intimate personal characteristics of the man. His genuine, kindly interest in people, his genial nature, his willingness to oblige, and his sense of humor, have not only endeared him to the New London public, but have brought estimable credit and distinction to Bulkeley School. THEODORE BODENWEIN Page fourteen RECOGNITION Theodore Bodenwein served his community not only as a newspaper publisher but in many other capacities. He has been a great influence and power in helping to promote the altruistic interests of New London and Eastern Connecticut. His ability as a newspaper publisher and editor has been recognized as being most extraordinary by all those who knew him. His success was one of the few examples of its kind in the journalistic field. As an editor he never spared himself and sought a most complete presentation of all news events. The Bulkeley “Whaler” takes this means of paying tribute to him for his generosity in extending to us the use of The Day files and for the many other additional contributions and aids which we have enjoyed from time to time. In the passing of Theodore Bodenwein, New London has sustained an irreparable loss. ▲ ▲ Page fifteen A THE WHAL ▲ A BERNARD WOLFE Business Manager MARVIN ELFENBEIN Associate Editor THOMAS HANEY Athletic Editor GEORGE WARGO Athletic Editor PAUL SKRIGAN Biographical Editor VICTOR SULLIVAN Literary Editor NICHOLAS FERRO Correspondence Secretary FREDERIC FREUDENSTEIN Correspondence Secretary ER STAFF GEORGE SHERIFF Advertising Mgr.

PASQUALE Faculty Advisor OREWORD It is the aim of this eleventh volume of the “Whaler”; to stamp with permanence the fleeting events of our school years; to give to the future the facts and faces of the present; and to add to the annals of Bulkeley, contributions of the class of 1939. We have endeavored to portray as accurately and unbiasly as possible the student life at Bulkeley. If each printed word and picture enlivens in you the happy reminiscences of our school days, we shall feel that we have achieved our purpose. THE HURRICANE SECTION A A A A HURRICANE, FIRE, TIDAL WAVE, FLOOD On September 21, 1938, New London suffered the greatest damage ever wrought by a single storm. This destruction was the result of Hurricane, Tidal Wave, Fire, and Flood. Although there was little loss of life, the hurricane and its accompanying forces caused a loss estimated at several millions of dollars. The fire, which broke out during the height of the hurricane, inflicted a property loss of $1,500,000. It has taken New London four months of reconstruction to clear the debris from the city. Bulkeley School was not spared from the wrath of the storm as is shown by the pictures on these pages. ■ A D M I N I S NATHAN BELCHER President-Treasurer Treasurer Bulkeley School, 1915- Elected President of Board of Trustees, 1938.

Treasurer BULKELEY IN 1914 By JACOB SHERB In September of 1910 there entered Bulkeley School 64 boys who embarked upon their respective high school careers for the ensuing four years. This was the first four-year class, so-called, because prior thereto three years comprised the regular course of study. In June of 1914 this group, which had by that time been reduced to 29, was graduated at the commencement exercises held in the Lyceum Theatre. We believe that it is reasonable to observe that Bulkeley in 1914 was still the typically quaint New England High School. The first class of four had been graduated in 1875, and thirty-nine years thereafter the school was graduating its second largest class, twenty-nine in number. Thirty-nine boys were graduated in 1908. The school building at that time, encircled by the “old college fence”, presented a picturesque appearance, and the adjoining landmarks enhanced the panorama considerably. The faculty consisted of seven teachers under the able leadership of the late and beloved Walter A. Towne. Of course, no Bulkeley man of that era will ever forget “Sarah” Kenerson, who ministered to the school’s fires during those old fashioned winters and kept things shipshape in and about the school. In general, the tempo of life did not seem to be the hustle bustle of today notwithstanding the hovering of ominous war clouds. Bulkeley, in those days, though comparatively a family circle, nevertheless carried on and fulfilled her traditions, and maintained a favorable position on both the scholastic and athletic fields. The year 1939 reveals that the school has undergone such a complete change that an alumnus like R. Ferdinand Weske, one of that group of twenty-nine a quarter of a century ago, engaged in engineering in the far west since his graduation, would scarcely recognize it as his old alma mater. This is particularly so since Professor Eugene B. Lawrence was retired in 1938, as he was the only remaining member of the 1914 faculty. Were Weske to walk to the school today as he did twenty-five years ago, northward on Huntington Street, from State Street to Bulkeley Place, would anyone wonder at his pronounced confusion when instead of the beautiful street, lined with stately dwellings and bordered with majestic elms, his eyes fell on a denuded thoroughfare with noticeable commercial encroachments along the route? Is it not conceivable that when he reached Bulkeley Place he would be stopped in his tracks? To be sure, he would undoubtedly recognize Governor Winthrop from Huntington Street, but he would have to walk up Bulkeley Place close to the governor and not until then would he perhaps get his bearings from the architecture and the colorful patterns on the slate roof on the rear section of the school. Indeed, were he in the school at the present time while the classes were changing rooms he would become somewhat bewildered to see the streams of humanity gushing from various parts of the building, seething a few moments in the corridors, and disappearing just as rapidly into the class rooms for the next assignment. The sharp contrast to the same process as of 1914 would amaze him. The extent of the school’s growth would at once be apparent without resorting to detailed statistics. It should be noted, however, that in the 1930’s the faculty numbers about twenty, and it is not unusual for the school to graduate from one hundred to one hundred twenty-five each year. Today as in days gone by we find that Bulkeley has kept pace with the march of time, that its progress and development has been commensurate with that of the communities which it serves, and with the pardonable pride of an alumnus we submit that the record speaks for itself. May Bulkeley continue to carry on. [‘age twenty-eight First row; left to right—David Mulcahy, George Bronstein, Oscar Liljenstein, Joe Gaffney, Wm. Leary, Jim Beran.

A A Page thirty-eight Page thirty-nine ‘This above all: to thine own self be true.’ The ‘goodbyes’ from your headmaster and members of the faculty are only a prelude to other ‘goodbyes’ which each of you will be hearing from father and mother as you meet up with the important transitions in your indivdual lives. Such farewells are always the same in form and sentiment. Whether it be upon leaving school or leaving home to pursue a business or professional career—every goodbye not only becomes the expression of the same strong hope that you will find real happineess, but it also contains an earnest caution that this wished-for happiness depends invariably upon sound character and good judgment. So do our good wishes for your future speak the familiar ‘caveat’ of your parents. We believe that the training received at Bulkeley School has given you the visions of high performance and the convictions of both a cultivated mind and an honest heart. You are going to make mistakes—yes, many times before you come to the end of life’s journey. Mistakes are less harmful when they are made at your own expense rather than another’s. According to an old adage, he who never made a mistake never made a discovery. Remember, too, that your name and identity will always be associated with Bulkeley School. No other school connections, no other experiences of your youth could be the source of happier memories. And now we bid you each Godspeed with the sincere wish that there will be more sunshine than gray skies in a long useful life for every member of your class of 1939. Hamer K. Underwood, Headmaster. Page forty SENIORS CLASS OFFICERS JOHN A. CONNOR, JR. President PAUL GERITY Vice President john McDonnell thomas donovan Secretary Treasurer Page forty-one SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY In 1989 I returned to New London and landed on the Zephyr Roof airport, owned by Gerity and Harrington. I saw over the television set Henry Briggs and his acrobatic orchestra, featuring Pickhardt and Pod-belski on the piccalo, and Douton playing the flute. Deciding to see a movie I saw “The Big Blow”, with Marshall Cheney and Harry Clark. Needing fresh linen I went into Buttleman’s and Butler’s emporium. Canning and Petrowsky, clerks, waited on me. I then went to the Lounging Club, owned by McDonnell and Wargo, in a rocket ship that John Connor was trying to sell me. Ferro, Gaudet, and Maher. Broadway playboys, were visiting there, playing chess with Lynch, McGuire, and Corey. Buying “The Skyway News”, owned by Bob Guinan and edited by Kashanski, I discovered that Solt, Searle, and Egger were in Hugh Lena’s Hospital with broken bones. Turning to the classified ad section, I saw that Anger and Reynolds were applying for the position of wrestling coaches at W. M. I. On the next page was a “Believe It or Not” by Ralph Good, stating that Wolfe had been swindled by a bov of ten. Below this was an article listing Manheimer’s book “How to Greet Teachers”. That night I went to a lecture by Admiral Sullivan. There I met Haney and Doherty who were traveling salesmen for the Bulkeley “Whaler”. Then I went to the Hotel Skyline owned by Minevich and managed by Elfenbein and learned they were at a conference trying to monopolize the Atlantic Ocean Rocket Service. Luce, Johnson, and Gaffney were their “mouth pieces”. I ran into Louis Lazerow still taking candid camera shots. My next stop was the Crazy Loon night club run by Schlink, Yates, and Freudenstein. Bigelow, Delap, and Salvagna were jugglers in the floor show. Coming to Bulkeley I found Shelburn as doorman, and Sheriff, head usher. Hotchkiss had replaced “Doc” as French teacher. Treadway was giving harmonica lessons; Podzaline was ping-pong coach; Fadden was teaching aesthetic dancing; Kennedy was director of jitterbugs; Stoner was a teacher of higher mathematics. At the annual meeting of the board of trustees I met Irlandi, Mitchell, Peckham, Baline, and Skrigan. That night I went to the reunion of the class of ’39 and saw Berge-son, Blackwell, T. Donovan, Hochman, and Bill Donovan. In the morning paper I read Benoit’s election speech and G-man Mike O’Brien’s capture of Nasty McAsty. I stopped at Pretto’s Service Station and met Rogers servicing the rockets. I then went down to Nahas’ Dancing School where I met Mas-kalik and Saunders taking lessons with their grandchildren. On passing one of the stores, I read a sign on the window reading: “My-Ladies Beauty Salon” with Sword, proprietor. Schultz and Collins were operators. Next store was a restaurant owned by Constantine. Zamkow was the singing waiter. I then found Stickney, Castagna, Clarke, and Knox selling crib-notes on a corner. They told me Art Dun-mire was the owner of Lyric Hall, where he held dances. Coming up the street was Gorra, with his bodyguards McQuillan, DiPalma, Meyers and Baier. Before going home I tried to steal the plans for the next year’s “Whaler”. Sheriff and Markoff locked me up and jailer Silverstein kept an eye on me. Page forty-two 1 939 ANGER, PAUL “Ang Commercial Interclass Baseball 1, 2; Jordan Prize 1. “Ang” is the pride of Jordan village. He has maintained one of the highest scholastic records throughout his four years. “Ang” also helped our class win the Interclass Baseball title last year. His ability to do things should enable him to enjoy life. Anger B aline BA LINE, RUSSELL “Russ” Classical “Russ” has never been tempted to participate actively in our many different extra-curricular activities but he is one of Bulkeley’s staunchest supporters. He is sincere and very capable in his work. Since he is so unostentatious, we expect great things of him. BAIER, RICHARD “Bugs” General Intramural Basketball 1, 2; Potpourri 1, 3; Biology Club 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club 1, 3, 4; “Whaler” Assistant 3. “Bugs” was one of our unfortunate members of the class of 1938 because of an automobile accident. He was forced to leave school and spent the greater part of his school year recuperating in one of our local hospitals. We admire him for his determination to come back to complete his course of study at Bulkeley. He has always impressed us with his seriousness of thought and his will to make good. Baier Benoit BENOIT, WILFRED “Bill Classical Baseball 3, 4; Football 2, 3, 4; Swimming 2, 3, 4; Interclass Baseball 1, 2; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 4; Hi-Y 1, 2, 4. Here, gentle readers, you will find a human contradiction of the axiom, “Good things come in small packages.” “Bill” is exceedingly popular with the fair sex and is a regular patron of Rudd’s Swing Palace. We admire him because of his good sportsmanship and his unusual sense of humor. I THE WHALER Page forty-three CLASS OF BERGESON, CARL “Berg «� Classical Latin Club 2, 3, 4; “Whaler” Home Room Captain 2. “Berg” is one of Dr. Philippse’s outstanding Virgil students. His modest habits of studiousness have enabled him to set a high standard of scholastic attainment. He has proved himself to be a true classmate and a “swell” fellow. BIGELOW, ROSWELL “Bud” Commercial He has certain quiet efficiency that makes for success in life, even though he has refrained from being too active in our school life. He always wears an apologetic grin or else he is in a pensive mood. “Bud” gives promise of being well known in his chosen field. BLACKWELL, DENNIS “Den” “Den” possesses a nonchalant manner and from our brief glimpses of his scurrying to classes we find he is slow in getting there but his presence is soon known. He is another of our commuters who comes from the direction where the sun sets. Bergeson Bigelow Blackwell Briggs BRIGGS, HENRY 44 Hank” Commercial Swimming 1, 2, 3; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3; Interclass Baseball 1, 3, 4. Have you ever seen John Hughes? Well, not very far off is “Hank”. Who can forget his brilliant readings in Mr. Small’s history class last year. He possesses a sterling character and is a friend worth having. THE WHALER Page forty-four 1 939 BUTLEMAN, BERNARD “Bernie” Classical Football 2, 3, 4; Freshman Basketball; Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4; Varsity Club 3, 4. “Bernie” is steadfast and true. He has a quiet sense of humor and is a venerable tower of strength on the gridiron as one of our stalwart varsity guards. He is leaving behind him an enviable record of accomplishment both as an athlete and as a good fellow. Canning Cheney Butleman Butler BUTLER. DOUGLAS “Doug” General Class Sports 3; “Whaler” Activities 4; Bowling 3, 4. “Doug” is just one of the boys. He is a genial companion and a good friend. His ability to transform himself from a giggling school boy to a sophisticated clerk in our local haberdashery shops is just one of his many talents. Beneath it all he is delightfully domestic. CANNING. WILLIAM “Doc” Commercial Intramural Sports 3, 4. He is one of our class members who has won recognition by supporting our many school activities. “Doc” has a splendid personality, always sympathetic and understanding. Without a doubt he will be heard from in the future. CHENEY, WILLIAM “Limpy” Classical Football 3; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3,4; Prom Committee 3; “Whaler”, Circulation Manager 3, 4; Bowling 3. “Limpy’s” talents are well known to us through his many versatile roles with the “Whaler” and his excellent dancing at ..... He is glad to get excited about anything and is very good-natured. The girls at W. M. I. cherish his smile and his charming manner. Beware! THE WHALER Page forty-five CLASS OF CLARK. HARRY “Dapper” Commercial Baseball 3, 4; Basketball 2, 3, 4; Interclass Baseball 3; Prom Committee 3; “Whaler” Activities 3, 4. Hollywood may have its Gable, Taylor, and Power but Bulkeley is richer with the presence of Harry Clark, the most handsome senior. He is also one of Bulkeley's best dressed students and athletes. His pluck on the basketball floor and his friendly ways will be long remembered. CLARKE, DONALD “Don” Commercial Football 2, 3, 4; Swimming 1, 2; Intramural Basketball 2; Biology Club 2. “Don” is a quiet chap and disappears as soon as school is over if not sooner. He has the distinction of being one of the boys who hails from Niantic. We have found him to be an all-around good fellow who has won the good will of his classmates. COLLINS, DONALD “Don” Commercial Think of a good-natured person whom you know. Well, it may be hard to conceive but “Don” is equally or, perhaps even more good-natured. He is quiet, reserved, not well known, but always recognized by his characteristically friendly smile. “Don” has won our friendship and good will; we wish we might have known him better. He has all the characteristics of being able to do much and do it well. CONNOR, JOHN “Oakie” Classical Baseball 2, 4; Freshman Basketball; Basketball 4; Intramural Basketball 2, 3; Interclass Baseball 1, 3; Vice President 2; Class Secretary 3; Class President 4; Potpourri 2; Prom Committee 3; “Whaler” Circulation Manager 4. “Oakie”, as class president, has assumed the responsibilities of leading the seniors through their final year at Bulkeley. His good nature has caused all who have come in contact with him to retain him as a friend. John is an active participant in basketball and interclass baseball. Lately he has shown himself to be a wizard of finance to carry on his assignment as circulation manager of the 1939 Chirk Clarke Collins Connor THE WHALER Page forty-six 1 939 CONSTANTINE. ARTHUR “Art” General Track 3, 4; Swimming 3; Potpourri 4; Hi-Y 2, 3, 4. His friendly smile greets us all no matter what the weather may be. “Art’s” hidden dramatic talents were made known with a vengeance when he played the role of Captain in the senior Potpourri act. Mr. Stetson hopes to use his athletic prowess in track this coming spring. His friendly ways will always be remembered. Constantine Corey COREY, RAYMOND “Ray” General Baseball 2, 3, 4; Football 1; Interclass Baseball 1, 2; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4. “Ray” is the captain-elect of our baseball team and we are already looking forward to a great season.

We, as a class, lost no time in beginning to achieve our ambitions in all the various fields of scholastic endeavor, as well as in the many extracurricula, especially in athletics. Graham Nibbs was elected Class President. Our Sophomore year found our ranks considerably depleted, but that undying spirit of determination to win distinction for our class never left us. We elected Charles Carey as our Class President. The class’s dramatic interests were sadly jeopardized because of the annual Potpourri. The members of the Sophomore Class usually took a commanding interest in the whole thing. During our Sophomore year a sad event took place. Mr. Underwood, our headmaster, was stricken ill and we all hoped for his full and speedy recovery. In athletics we soon won fame because of the fact that so many of our members participated in all sports. Again we advanced another step, so that today we are the Junior class, quarterly examinations having taken their usual toll. We, as Juniors, saw fit to elect William Scott as Class President. With such stars as Perry, Leary, Jarvis, Hughes, and Chappell, the rest of the school soon realized that our class was well endowed with athletes who gave a good account of themselves in varsity competition. George Chappell proved himself to be such an extraordinary player that he made all-conference end. Jack Perry carried the Orange and Black colors to fame by proving his worth as one of the outstanding varsity players on this year’s brilliant basketball team. The other Junior class members of the varsity squad were Leary, Cupello, Jarvis, Hibbard, Apanaschik, and Burdick. The varsity swimming team consisted of such natatorial performers as Nibbs, Whitbeck, and Rowley. We, the class of 1940, vow to live up to and carry on the high standards set by former Bulkeley classes who have preceded us.

We were frightened by Mr. Canty’s sober face and Mr. Peck’s soliloquies. As our officers we selected Ernest Wainwright, Keith Christianson, and John Synodi. It did not take us long to get into the swing of things. Our lads answered the call of the gridiron, basketball, swimming, and baseball. The Bengal Weekly’s finest reporters were freshmen. We were also represented in the field of music and drama. Ralph Edwards distinguished himself as an expert clarinet player. Although we did not have the Potpourri, Joe Dolin, a member of our class, managed to secure a role in the school production, “The Valiant”. The freshman Basketball team lacked height but managed to finish the season with an adequate amount of victories. Perhaps the climax of the freshman year was in conquering the sophomore class in the question bee, thus becoming champions. In June we were surprised to find that Bill Riley had ended his freshman days and had been promoted. We entered our sophomore year still frightened by Mr. Canty’s actions but we learned all about Mr. Peck. And then we met Mr. Ray Reed! He is probably the most dependable teacher at Bulkeley. You can always depend on him to give you a lengthy assignment. Mr. Shay’s jokes (?) always have us in stitches, and we’ve all learned that we can do nothing without coming in contact with Latin. This year our officers are James Gaudet, Harry Severini, and Keith Christianson. We shattered precedence by conducting a class meeting and we intend to hold many more. We had a handful of men on the football squad and were well represented on the basketball squad by Joe Epps and Bernie Harkins. The football men were K. Beers, J. Marooney, J. Dolin, and D. Crowley. The sophomores gave an excellent production for the Potpourri. Under the direction of Ray Reed we presented what some have called the best sophomore production in the history of the Potpourri. Joe Dolin, who played a major role in “The Crow’s Nest”, walked away with the top honors for acting.

After many troublesome days with both the faculty and upper classmen, we finally adjusted ourselves to our new surroundings. At our first class meeting we chose Edward Birchall, President; George Kelly, Vice President; and Francis Hoagland, Secretary-Treasurer. When the athletic teams were formed we found in our midst three boys, namely, Loren Khors, Francis Wainwright, and Sigfrid Pearson, who helped Bulkeley bring home its third straight cross-country championship. Like other classes of Bulkeley, we are trying to uphold the noble spirit which has characterized the other classes of the past by participating in the Potpourri, clubs, sports, and many of the other activities. We hope that our guiding spirit will always be one of service to our classmates and to our school. Below is a picture of our class members who were inadvertently omitted from the freshman class picture when it was taken in the fall.

Troland President Arthur H. Shurts Alfred Ligourie Treasurer Samuel M. Prentis Morris Lubchansky Graduate Athletic Manager Thomas S. McGinley Elmer H. Spaulding Eleven 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 become 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 five additional members to include the following—all good men and true—Arthur H. Shurts, Samuel Prentis, Elmer Spaulding, 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. Page eighty FIELD, INC.

COLLINS Ass’L Coach FOOTBALL The 1938 football team, under the guid of Coach William F. O’Brien and Edward P. Collins, was one of the finest teams in Bulki football history. The start of the season fo' the team handicapped by weak reserves but the season moved on, the team improved t state of high efficiency. While not having the weight and as great a number of individual stars as teams of other years, it will be remembered as one of the most cooperative. For a number of years the Tigers have played the opening game of the season with Hillhouse. This year because of the confusion following the local hurricane the game had to be canceled. Bulkeley was defeated 20-0 at Bridgeport by a superior Bassick eleven. The defeat was not totally unexpected, because Bassick has had a soi't of jinx over the Bengal squad. The Tigers have yet to defeat Bassick on their home ground. Bassick scored after a blocked kick, a 53 yard drive, and an intercepted pass. Tom Donovan, Bulkeley center, played a fine game as did Bernard Wolfe, blocking back. Co-Captain Podzaline and Chappell played a fine aerial game. TT Stonington and Bulkeley fought the first game on Bulkeley’s schedule ending in a tie score VARSITY Page eighty-six FOOTBALL 0-0. The Bears had a statistical edge but the brilliant aerial attack which Bulkeley played baffled them. In the third quarter, Co-Captain Joe Podzaline hurled passes that carried the ball to the Stonington 19 yard line and Bob Leary completed the longest advance during this period with an 18 yard run. Stonington came back late in the fourth period but Bulkeley checked them, and took the ball on downs and the game ended shortly afterwards. Playing their first home game, Bulkeley defeated Windham 19-0 with creditable work being turned in by Podzaline, Leary, and Chappell. This game placed the league into a three way tie between Chapman Tech, Fitch, and Bulkeley. The Tigers turned in one of the finest football performances of several years by whipping a favorite Crosby eleven 14-6. The Bulkeley aerial attack which had been loafing hit its stride and both touchdowns resulted in the accurate pitching of Co-Captain Podzaline and the running of Bob Leary in the first and George Chappell in the second. Bulkeley attempted twelve passes and completed eight for a total gain of 81 yards. The Crosby eleven rallied and drove to a 74 yard touchdown in the fourth period, but the game was won. Great performances were registered by center Tommy Donovan, John Hughes, Frank Henderson, and Bill Benoit. li. Wolfe J. Silverstein R. Leary F. Henderson J. Williams li. Bailsman Undefeated Fiteh met an improved Bulkeley team before 2,500 fans at Mercer Field and Fitch was defeated 21-12. The game will probably be remembered as the roughest in the history of the conference. Both teams were cautioned several times for unnecessary roughness. Both elevens ended the game fairly well bruised and banged up. The Tigers surprised every one by scoring 21 points in the opening half by an exceptionally deceptive attack of lateral passes and reverses. Fitch rallied in the second half and scored twice. These two touchdowns were the first points Fitch had scored against Bulkeley since the Bulkeley-Fitch series began in 1930. Co-Captain Podzaline scored the first touchdown and after a lateral pass to Frank Henderson, who carried the ball from the 12 to the 3 yard line, bucked over again. Getting the ball again, the Tigers picked up 57 yards with two laterals and a forward pass. Taking the second lateral Bob Leary crossed the goal line from the 2 yard line. Before the second largest crowd in the history of Mercer Field, Bulkeley beat Chapman Tech 6-0 in a hard fought, clean game. The crowd of 3,196 fans saw few thrilling situations, but one long march by each team. There were good football players on each side. Without question, the star of the game was Co-Captain Joe Podzaline, who ran, blocked, and tackled, coming as close as anyone to ever winning a game single-handed. Bulkeley had the control of the game in the fii-st three quarters, but in the fourth had a real fight to stop the Huskies’ march. The winning points were made from the eleven yard line where Podzaline tried two passes, missing the first and Chappell catching the second to score. The center. Tommy Donovan, and back, Frank Henderson, played a beautiful game. Playing the last game of the season on a damp, rainy field, Bulkeley bowed to the superior powerhouse of Norwich Free Academy 19-0. In winning the 74th contest Norwich continued its five year period of victory. In direct contrast Bulkeley took to the air for a total yardage of 92 yards. Norwich with its superior powerhouse piled up 280 yards from scrimmage, not attempting one pass. The team put up a splendid fight and added more recognition to the already top man Podzaline. Center Tommy Donovan, left end George Chappell, quarter back Bernard Wolfe, and guard Wilfred Benoit were seen as ace men.

Discounting scholastic difficulties and un-forseen mishaps, we will have twelve lettermen, six of whom are regulars from this year’s co-champion eleven. Nine of the lettermen are linemen and three are backs. Besides these, there are ten from the junior and sophomore classes who are likely prospects. The freshman class had a few representatives on the squad this past year, most of whom did not finish the season. However, they are expected to fill in the jayvee squad in the fall. There will be no spring practice this year, as has been the custom the past two years. The reasons for discontinuing are because the conference has placed a ruling forbidding games with other schools at this time of the year, and the facilities available are not adequate to carry on baseball and football at the same time. No doubt our friendly rivals from Norwich will have the jump on us, but who can tell what might happen by the time November 18th rolls around next fall.

The Bulkeley five, in a revengeful mood, whipped Windham 42-37, to gain a tie for the Eastern Conference Championship. Bulkeley defeated Norwich for the second time in the season 38-23 and went into first place in the conference standing. Bulkeley met its second defeat in 17 games at the hands of Bassick, 43-36. Leading 11-5 at the end of the first quarter, Bulkeley’s defense was shattered by some sensational back court shooting which sent Bassick into the lead which they kept for the rest of the game. Bulkeley assured itself of a tie for the Eastern Connecticut Conference championship by beating their heme town rivals, Chapman Tech, 23-19. Coming from behind in the second period with some great playing by Paul Skrigan and Captain Nick Verbillo, they obtained a lead that was held throughout the remaining minutes. Bulkeley for the first time in the history of the school entered a team for the State court crown. Playing Derby in the first round, the flashy Whalers rolled up a 11-0 lead in the first few minutes of play. In the last three quarters they had a case of stage fright and were beaten by a small but fighting Derby team 34-32. Captain Nick Verbillo and Paul Skrigan were chosen for the all-Eastern Connecticut Basketball team with Henry Apanaschik on the second team. Paul Skrigan, varsity center, was elected captain for the 1938-39 season.

The schedule itself held no terrors for Coach Stetson or the boys on the team. The team had an outstanding such able men as Skrigan, Zito, Wainwright, Gerity, Farrar, Rogers, and others, the team was destined for a winning year. splendid performance, scoring first in all six running events and also winning the high and broad jumps and pole vault. This victory and an earlier triumph over the Springfield College freshmen established the Bengals as having one of the finest teams in their history. Outstanding individual performances were turned in by Skrigan, who took four first places, and Bud Farrar who set a new course record for the half-mile. The annual Connecticut State Interscholas-r tic Relays found Dom Zito, the bullet of Bulke- f ley’s track team, setting a new 100 yard dash mark of 10.4, bettering his own record made in array of running and jumping talent. Backed by The track team defeated Norwich on the Norwich track 66 to 42. The Tigers rendered a Coach Joseph Stetson 1937 by one-tenth of a second. However, Bill Foster of Crosby High, also did 10.4 in the cen- tury to tie Zito’s new record. Bulkeley won the state medley relay championship at this meet. Seventeen records were broken in the competition with Manchester’s Palmer turning in an exceptional performance. Stonington High School won the out-of-state championship at the Rhode Island State College Interscholastic Track Meet. Bulkeley took a third with 26i 2 points to Manchester’s 30i 2 and Stonington’s 32. Ston-ington’s strength was concentrated in the high and low hurdles and hammer throw, which are not regular events in the Connecticut State Conference. Skrigan was the outstanding performer, scoring in four events. He took second in the 220, tied for first in the pole vault, won the broad-jump, and tied for third in the high jump. Dom Zito took a second and Paul Gerity a third in the 100 yard dash. In the 880 yard dash, Clayton Farrar was second. The Bulkeley Tigers, with the strongest running squad in many a season, won every running event at the Eastern Connecticut Conference meet, with the exception of the 100 yard dash, to take first honors. Piling up a total of 59 points, Bulkeley led Norwich, who took second place with 44 2 3 points. Paul Skrigan turned in an amazing one-man performance by winning three events outright, and tieing for first in the Page one hundred two TRAC K Wamwright Z Ito Skrigan Co-Capt. Co-Capt.

Bob Leary took the 440 yard run and A1 Partridge gave the Tigers a first in the 220 yard low hurdles. The relay team was composed of Zito, Gerity, Partridge, and Skrigan. The Tigers defeated Chapman Tech at Morgan Park by eight points with the final score, Bengals 531,4, Huskies 4514. Paul Skrigan, who led the championship drive at Storrs, was the outstanding individual performer. The Huskies had the decisive advantage in all weight events, but the Bengals took everything in the running departments with the exception of the 880 yard run. In this meet Dom Zito won the 100 yard dash, William Scott the mile, Paul Skrigan the pole vault, and Paul Gerity the 440 yard run. Bulkeley, competing in Class A in the state meet at New Haven, finished third with a total of twenty points. Paul Skrigan, giving a fine performance, turned in thirteen points. Following a splendid performance at Storrs the week before, Skrigan won the broad jump with the amazing leap of twenty-two feet, three inches, to better his own mark. He also placed second in the pole vault and the 220 yard run. Hartford Public was the Class A winner with 42 4 points and New Haven Commercial second with 241 2 points.

Due to a series of mishaps the Tigers were much weaker than expected. The netmen started the season with a 6-0 victory over Windham. This was followed by a 4-2 victory over New Britain. The Tigers were defeated by a strong Hartford Public team 4-1. The net-men next fell victim to Middletown and were beaten 8-1. The Tigers for the first time in the history of the school beat Hillhouse 4-3. Bulkeley then dropped the next four matches. Losing to Norwich 5-1, Chapman Tech 4-3, Norwich 4-3, and Chapman Tech 6-1.

From this group a squad of fourteen players were retained which, although it won only half its games, left a better record than the won and lost columns indicate. The season started auspiciously enough when the team won its first three games and then topped the Windham Freshmen in a game marked by the playing of Bernie Harkins, Leo Facchini and Dan Crowley. Hard luck soon followed however, when Leonard Kosakow and Billy Gustini were sent to the hospital for appendicitis operations and Sheehan was put on the sidelines for two months by a severe attack of pneumonia. After losing these three starting players we were not strong enough to compete with Tech and Norwich. Windham, in a return game at Willimantic, also won from us. In all the team lost eight games and won eight but when one realizes that four of our games were lost by one point the record doesn’t look so bad. The success of a freshman team is always determined by the number of boys who go up to the varsity squad. In this, last year’s team was highly successful. Harkins is now a valuable varsity guard and will win his letter this year. Crowley and Sheehan are jayvee guards, and Facchini and Kosakow are doing well at the forward posts for the same aggregation. All things considered the time given to this team was well spent, and more will be heard from them in the future.

ORCHESTRA The orchestra was organized seventeen years ago by its director, Mr. Howard T. Pierce. Since then it has proved again and again that it is one of the best orchestras in its class. At the New England Music Festival in May, 1938, at Burlington, Vermont, the orchestra received fine ratings, as it has in previous years at other music festivals. The orchestra, along with the other musical groups were hosts to the many participants of the New England Music Festival Concert held last March in New London. The orchestra maintains a busy winter program, which includes playing for various performances in New London. The Orchestra will attend this year, in addition to all the New England Festivals, the Connecticut Music Festival to be held in Greenwich, Connecticut. These Connecticut festivals have not been held for a number of years but formerly the orchestra has achieved great successes when taking part. Many members of the orchestra were selected to play with the All-New England Festival Orchestra in Boston’s Symphony Hall in March. THE GLEE CLUB This year the Bulkeley Glee Club has reached a size and importance that has not been equaled for many years. The Glee Club has again become an important activity at Bulkeley. Early this season the Glee Club organized and promptly went ahead with plans for a minstrel show which was the climax of the 1938 Bulkeley Potpourri. The Glee Club has been rehearsing regularly, under Mr. Pierce’s direction, and many of its members will travel to Boston in March to sing with the New England Festival Chorus. THE WHALER Page one hundred fourteen BULKELEY BAND The Bulkeley Band, now in its eleventh year, is one of the most important organizations at Bulkeley. The Band has made a very creditable name for our school by playing and triumphing in musical concerts and competitions, not only in Connecticut, but throughout New England. Mr. Howard T. Pierce, our most capable leader, is proving his abilities on a larger scale, being Vice President of the New England Music Festival Association. The Bulkeley Band has always been well represented at all the New England Festivals and we are proud to see our music director as a leader of that great inter-state organization. In March the Bulkeley and W. M. I. musical organizations were hosts and hostesses to the All-New England Music Festival which we were proud to have in New London. In May of last year the Bulkeley and W. M. I. music groups traveled by special train to Burlington, Vt. to the New England Music Festival. On December 9th the Bulkeley-W. M. I. Band joined with the Woonsocket High School Band in a concert at Buell Hall and the following Friday the Bulkeley-W. M. I. Band traveled to Woonsocket for a return concert. This season several members of the music groups will be members of the All-Eastern Band, Orchestra, and Chorus which will hold its concert this year in Symphony Hall, Boston in March. In May, the Band will attend the New England Festival at Worcester and also will attend the Connecticut Competitive Concert at Greenwich. THE WHALER Par,te one hundred fifteen POTPOURRI 1939 The numerous enthusiasts of Bulkeley School were greeted at the 17th annual Potpourri held on December 21st and 22nd with an unusual variety of entertainment. The first night the Sophomores presented a drama and the Juniors gave a farce. A Christmas pageant given by the students of W. M. I. was offered to the audience and was received with hearty approval. The second night saw the presentation of a comedy by the Freshmen and a drama by the Seniors. A Minstrel Show provided an appropriate close for the program. The Sophomores, in accord with past performances, chose a drama for their production. This year the play was “Crow’s Nest”, written by William F. Manley. Joseph Dolin, who was awarded individual recognition by the judges, headed the cast. Others in the cast included Arthur Graham, Harold Sheehan, Elmer Russell, Ray Beers, Francis Cullen, John Rathbone, and Walter Greenfield. Mr. Ray Reed deserves much praise and credit for his splendid direction of this play. “The Man in the Bowler Hat”, written by A. A. Milne, was the Juniors’ contribution to the Potpourri. John Carpenter and Robert Donahue received special honors for their splendid pantomime action in the opening scene. The supporting cast was composed of Alfred O’Berne, Joseph Bunkley, Joseph Powers, Louis Blais, and Irving Hopkins. The play was well directed by Mr. Grubner and Mr. Stetson. A Christmas pageant, given by the W. M. I. Glee Club, enchanted the audience with a varied selection of Christmas carols. The Freshmen staged “The Filming of Uncle Tom’s Cabin”, written by Arthur Leroy Kaser. Equal honors were distributed to the entire cast. The supporting cast included Matthew Perry, Samuel Bernstein, Thomas Kiely, Stanton Sherman, Albert Litinsky, Douglass Keeney, Duane Rorick, and Thomas Gallivan. This play was under the competent direction of Mr. Cole and Mr. Attwill. The Seniors selected as their play “The Captain’s Cabin”, written by Hillie Glassor. The play was well directed by two members of the Senior class, Charles Schulze and George Kuehne. Equal honors went to Arthur Constantine, Charles Schulze, and George Kuehne. Vernon Fad-den, Alfonso Salvagna, and Whitmore Yates formed a splendid supporting cast. A minstrel show was the finale. This act, under the direction of Joseph Corcoran, was an excellent one. Mr. Pierce was in charge of the music for the Potpourri. THE WHALER Page one hundred sixteen THE BENGAL WEEKLY Having just completed its fourth year of publication. The Bengal Weekly may be considerad a graduate of the period of trial, and can now be regarded as a real servant of Bulkeley students. In its purpose of informing and of creating student interest in all worthwhile activities, The Bengal Weekly has done well. Furthermore, it provides nourishment for journalistic minded persons and gives invaluable experience in newspaper work. Early in February of each year, the entire staff is banqueted at which time the staff members of the graduating class are awarded keys. The retiring editors are Paul Kashanski, Editor-in-Chief, and Charles Schulze, Art Editor. The Bengal Weekly staff for 1939-40, as announced by John K. Bal-entine, faculty advisor, includes Richard A. Ballman, Editor; John Carpenter, News Editor John Cullen, Sports Editor; William Hogan, Art Editor; and Harold Abrams, Business Manager.

THE WHALER Page one hundred seventeen THE LAT I N CLUB The Bulkeley Latin Club (Circulus Latimus) was established in 1936 by Dr. Philippse of the language department. The club seeks to revive and promote interest in the classics, to point out the influence of Roman civilization on modern times, and to establish a spirit of brotherhood comparable to the ancient fraternity (fraternitas) of the Romans. At the first meeting of the club in November officers were elected, and a program was drawn up consisting of a series of lectures to be given at ensuing meetings. Two members of the W. M. I. Latin Club addressed the local club at the second meeting. The speakers gave interesting descriptions of past and present doings of their club, and what they intended to do in the future. Suggestions were also given as to what types of programs the Bulkeley Latin Club might adopt. The next three meetings were featured by informal talks given by Frank Hamlen, chairman of the English department, entitled “Latin in English”; and Dr. Philippse of the language department, entitled “Latin in the Romance Languages”; and by Dean Irene Nye of Connecticut College entitled “Ancient Humor”. The programs for succeeding meetings call for informal talks to be given by John Troland, Arthur Hjortland, and Miss Ruth Guei of Connecticut College. Mr. Hjortland will lecture on “Latin in Science”, Mr. Troland on “Robert College”, and Miss Guei will read a paper entitled “Ancient Magic and Mysticism”. Talks by local professional men, on whose training Latin has had an influence, will follow. The final meeting of the year will feature a club picnic. The officers of the Latin Club are as follows: Paul Massad ............................. President, 1940 Albert Keplan ..................... Vice President, 1940 Euell Williams .............. Secretary-Treasurer, 1941 Henry Shay ........................... Faculty Advisor Program Committee James Cantrell, 1940 James Allen, 1942 James Gaudet, 1941 Edward Boly, 1941 The club has fifty members, all four classes being represented. THE WHALER Page one hundred eighteen FRENCH CLUB The Bulkeley French Club, after a lapse of several years, was reorganized in 1936 by Dr. A. D. Philippse, Chairman of the language department. The purpose of the French Club is to stimulate interest in French life, institutions, and customs, and to give the students a better understanding of the language. The club also aims to provide diversion from the classroom routine. The first meeting of the club was held the second Tuesday in November. Forty students, representing the three upper classes, were present at this meeting. The election of officers took place and plans for future meetings were discussed. The December meeting was held for the purpose of further organization and planning since no speaker was available for the occasion. At the January meeting Dr. A. D. Philippse gave an interesting talk on the subject “Political and Economic Conditions in France Today.” The address was very well received by students and faculty members. At the conclusion of the talk a general discussion was held in which the students participated very freely. At subsequent meetings informal talks will be given by members of the faculties of Connecticut College for Women and the United States Coast Guard Academy. An attempt is being made to secure Professor Crotean of Connecticut State College for the May meeting. The last meeting will feature an outdoor picnic. Faculty Advisor—Mr. John Gagnon. The officers elected for the year 1938-39 are, Paul Kashanski, President; James Cantrell, Vice President; and Hugh Lena, Secretary and Treasurer. THE WHALER rage one hundred nineteen THE VALIANT Four leading characters in The Valiant gave splendid character interpretations, Andrew Speziali as James Dyke, the condemned prisoner whose real identity remained hidden to the players and Josephine Paris, his sister, played by Ruth Fielding of W. M. I. proved themselves capable actors. Both Speziali and Fielding are veteran actors of many Bulkeley and local amateur plays and their experience in these former productions aided them in difficult interpretations last night. Alfred O’Berne as the warden and Harold Hendrickson as Father Daly were equally effective and reflected careful training and coaching on the part of the Director, Ray T. Reed. Two supporting roles Dan, a jailor, and Wilson, an attendant, were ably taken care of by Joseph Dolin and John Carpenter. Dolin is a Freshman and was making his first appearance and Carpenter only once before in the school Potpourri. Both boys showed noteworthy ability and appear ready for leading parts. The play was well received by the student body and the public at both the afternoon and evening performances. The receipts realized from the staging of The Valiant were turned over to the athletic and musical organizations to help them finance their many worthwhile extracurricular activities. CHESS CLUB The Chess Club, which was formed last year by Mr. Walter Grub-ner, is now becoming an established feature of Bulkeley school life. The object of the club is to improve the playing of its members and to teach beginners the correct way to play chess. After few weeks of practice, the club has a tournament between the members. The secretary makes out a schedule in which each contestant plays every other contestant. Each week the percentage of the games won by every player and his opponent for the next week is posted on the bulletin board. Theodore Downign, a freshman, was the only member to finish with a perfect score. At the final meeting he was elected president for the next year. Last year, due to the late start, the club was unable to finish all the rounds of its schedule. THE WHALER Page one hundred twenty B I OLOGY CLUB The Biology Club, which was formed five years ago by Mr. Arthur Hjortland, is now considered an essential part of Bulkeley School. The club, which is composed of biology students, has presented lectures given by professional men from time to time which have been open to the general public. The club, last year was very fortunate in getting several well-informed lecturers. Dr. Robert Henkle spoke most impressively on the various aspects of social diseases; Dr. Newman, of Uncas-on-the-Thames Sanitarium, spoke and presented a most interesting lecture, which was supplemented with X-ray slides showing tuberculosis in its various stages; Dr. Bapp gave a detailed account of the causes of eye, ear, and nose ailments together with the treatment utilized by the modern specialists in taking care of the affected. The club elected Charles Cupello, President; Richard Ballman, Vice President; and Jack Meyer, Secretary and Treasurer. At the close of every school year an exhibition is held and all the friends of the school and the public are invited to view the work which has been done by the students.

THE WHALER Page one hundred twenty-one JUNIOR WHALER ASSISTANTS The advertising is a very important factor in the publication of the “Whaler” and therefore the assistants for this department are taken from the group next to the seniors. The juniors, by bringing forth as many advertisements as possible, earn for themselves a position on the staff of the next year’s “Whaler”. It is through their eagerness to add to the success of the book that so many ads are collected and without their help, we feel that the “Whaler” could not be complete. Owing to the hurricane which necessitated the closing of school in the early fall a considerable delay was experienced in the soliciting of “ads” in this year’s book. In spite of this delay the boys did exceptionally well and deserve a great deal of praise. First Row, Left to Right—Mclnnes, Falconer, Adel, Glassman, McCarthy, Spitz, Killeen.

THE WHALER Page one hundred twenty-two ROOM CAPTAINS The room captains make up the link that connects the “Whaler” staff with the rest of the school. The duty of these boys is singular but considerable—they collect the installments on the “Whaler”. This is often a very difficult task and by far one of the most important. For this reason we try to choose the most capable boys of each class. The training these boys receive enables them to qualify as members of future staffs. Experience has shown this is a most desirable method of providing future staffs with capable members to succeed the outgoing staff. The members of this student activity group distinguished themselves by being unusually keen in assuming their responsibilities and stimulating sales in each of their home rooms. Their assistance was most valuable to the staff circulation managers in helping them to realize their goal as set forth by our contract requirements. This accomplishment is all the more singular when one stops to realize that this year’s senior class is much smaller than last year’s.

Well-trained children are those who keep compar-tively quiet while father is doing their home work.” Miss Hull—“Are you doing anything Sunday evening?” Mitchell—“No, ma’am, not a thing.” Miss Hull (sternly)—“Well, see if you can’t get to school on time Monday morning.” Deffley (while out horseback riding)— “Shall we take the bridlepath, Helen?” Helen—“Oh, John, this so sudden.” Rogers—“My mother wants the recipe for your famous corned beef hash.” Mrs. Mac—“There is no recipe, the stuff simply accumulates.” Mr. Shelburn—“What makes you stay away from school as often as you do?” Shelburn—“Class hatred, father.” Lady—“Have you been offered anv work?” Tramp—“Only once, madam. Outside of that I had nothing but kindness.” Mrs. S.—“It looks like a storm. You’d better stay for dinner.” Cullen—“Oh, thanks, but I don’t think it’s bad enough for that.” Woody—“Anything matter with the hamburger?” Stickney—“Oh,” lifting up the top slice of bread, “that’s all right, I’ve found it now.” •I• ♦ !• Wolfe—“What seems to be worrying you?” Sheriff—“I’m trying to decide what would cost me less, to hire a lawyer or teli the truth.” Mr. Hjortland—“Of course, you all know what the inside of a corpuscle is like?” Meyer—“Well, you’d better explain it for the benefit of those who have never been inside of one.” Searle—“Now, don’t trouble to see me to the door.” Her Dad—“Oh, it’s no trouble, it’s a pleasure.” ❖ • Mr. O’Brien—“If you put your hand in your right pocket and find 75c and your other hand in your left pocket and find 75c, what do you have?” Nahas—“My father’s pants.” THE WHALER Page one hundred twenty seven Mr. Norris—“Who taught you that naughty word?” Pretto—“Santa Claus.” Mr. Norris—“Santa Claus?” Pretto—“Sure, when he tripped over my bed Christmas morning.” Sullivan—“They say Elfenbein is a regular lady killer.” Pretto—“I’ll say, he starves them to death.” McCarthy—“Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” Farrar—“If Gelinas expects to become wealthy and wise he’ll have to do a lot of hustling between snoozes.” Emma—“Drago forgets his nation ality when he takes me out to dinner.” Knox—“How strange.” Emma—“Yes, then he goes Dutch.” Mr. Pierce—“I have music in my soul.” Rad way—“Yes, I thought I heard shoes squeak.” Johnson—“I saw a man today who has no hands to play the piano.” Lena—“That’s nothing, I saw a girl with no voice that sings.” Mr. Pasquale—“What’s this item on your expense list?” Glassnian—“That’s the bill for the glue we used.” Mr. Pasquale—“Don’t buy any more glue factories.” «$• Butler—“I am nervous about this gym course.” Mr. Collins—“Why, what have you got to lose?” Butler—“Oh, about ten pounds.” Cab Driver (to Bigelow)—“You look pale.

Did you make it according to the recipe in the cook book?” Elaine—“No, Woody, it’s my own cremation.” Gaudet—“Why do you wear your straw when you go in bathing?” Hochman—“I can’t swim and when I see my hat floating away I know I am out of my depth.” Facas—“Mother, here’s my report card.” Mother—“This isn’t very good, Alfred.” Facas—“The joke is on you, Mother, I didn’t make it out—the teacher did.” Kennedy—“Did you protest against the movies that represent the Irish as being disorderly.” O’Brien—“Did we? We wrecked the place.” Pickhardt—“Look here, I can write my name in the dust on these piano keys.” Clerk (at Bishop’s Studio)—“Ain’t education wonderful?” Mr. Hamlen—I am going to speak on liars today. How many of you have read the 25th chapter?” (Everyone raises his hand). Mr. Hamlin—“Good, you are the group to whom I wish to speak, there is no 25th chapter.” Mr. Cole—“What are the essentials to a last will and testament?” Collins—“A dead person and some money.” Minerva—“One more word and I’ll throw myself out of the window.” Gorra—“Let’s go upstairs and finish this argument.” Minevich—“I swear to you it was at least eighteen inches long.
