SANFORD GLASSMAN, Editor-in-chief LOUIS KATZ, Business Mgr. DAVID FALCONER, Associate Editor VOLUME XVII THE WORLD’S FAIR EDITION 1940 WHALER YEARBOOK OF BULKELEY SCHOOL NEW LONDON, CONNECTICUT DEDICATION W E, the Class of 1940, respectfully dedicate this twelfth edition of the Bulkeley “Whaler” to MR. WILLIAM F. O’BRIEN in appreciation of the prestige that he has added to Bulkeley among the outstanding schools of the state. His coaching achievements have always been based upon the idea of good sportsmanship and fair play. He is as modest and retiring, as he is vigorous and outspoken when duty calls for action. We extend to him our good will and wishes for continued success. RECOGNITION A modest gentleman, graduate of Bulkeley School in 1884, who as a progressive New London citizen, has earned signal honors and respect for his influence and service in our community. Mr. Reeves is president of the Board of Trustees of Williams Memorial Institute, Secretary of the Associated Charities of New London, and Chairman of the Board of Directors of National Bank of Commerce. Mr. Reeves was for several years a member of the Board of Trustees of Bulkeley School. Not only in his official capacity but in his relationship as a loyal alumnus, he has been, through all these years, a valuable and faithful friend of this school. The members of the 1940 Whaler staff from year to year will remember with gratitude Mr. Reeves’ interest and support of this ever popular yearbook. Page eight Page nine WORD Xn the publication of this twelfth edition of the “Whaler” we have attempted to give a word picture of the activities and events of our school year. Our theme, centering about the “1939 World’s Fair” endeavors to set forth thoughts of change and progress that have served as an inspiration in helping us to grasp the wonders of the world of tomorrow. The Staff has striven to be non-partisan in every respect toward representing the entire school and at the same time to construct our book in an interesting, and distinctive fashion. We feel that in presenting this issue that we have realized an exceptional goal and standard for yearbook publications. May this issue be an inspiring link in the chain of annuals which will serve to inspire coming classes in their endeavor to surpass our efforts. THE WHAL SANFORD GLASSMAN Editor-in-Chie f DAVID E.

PASQUALE Faculty Advisor Page thirteen Our Program and Our Purpose Bulkeley School has adopted a program of objectives in the education of boys as suggested by an anonymous teacher-mother in a statement of what she wished a modem high school to include in the training of her son. Bulkeley school ivill strive to provide this ideal training for your boy as follows: “First: Straight thinking. He must face facts as they are, must not warp nor contort them to his own advantage. Train him to pursue a course of thinking to the most logical conclusion possible for him. Teach him that it is cowardly to abandon a thread of reasoning because it runs afoul of his preconceived convictions—cowardly to evade or to omit the truth that threatens his own ends or desires. “Second: Open his eyes to beauty. Lead him to ‘see’ a well turned thought, a beautiful painting; to feel exquisite harmonies—encourage him to prize spiritual values. “Third: He must respect the abilities—consider the rights of others. Teach him that there are no superiorities save of merit service achievement; that there is no superiority so despicable as that which grinds doicn the defenseless. “Fourth: Make accessible to him all that history offers of man’s strivings and the outcome of these efforts that he may have some guides toward formulating his own lines of action. Teach him to find out things for himself, and show him where information may be found. “Fifth: Guide but not coerce him in his search to discover that task which will make him happiest in the executing. When he has found this thing which he likes best to do set him in the way of learning to do it well.” Homer K. Underwood, Headmaster.

It is not a vague and an intangible interest but one associated with the many happy traditions and memorable years spent at school. It is through their personal interests that we shall realize the valuable links that bind us together by reason of our activity through the Alumni Association. Years after graduation as graduates we will meet to talk over old times, renew friendships which increase in value, both spiritually and materially and seek out new ways and measures by which we can be of material service we to Bulkeley and Bulkeley to us. Dr. Ordway Tead R- Greene J- DeGange H. K. Underwood T. Troland A. Ligourie Page twenty-one BULKELEY 25 YEARS AGO Exactly twenty-five years ago this June, the Reverend J. Romeyn Danforth presented diplomas to twenty-six members of the graduating class of Bulkeley School. The commencement exercises took place on the stage of the Lyceum Theatre on Washington Street. Louis Harris, now a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, gave the valedictory address. Other orators were Charles Dow, James Cogan, Sidney Miner, John McGarry, Dwight Rose, and Donald Hine. Music was furnished by the School Orchestra and the Mandolin Club—(swingsters of the 1915 vintage). The Bulkeley News, our cardboard covered year book consisting of forty or fifty pages, was the humble ancestor of this, your beautiful and commendable “Whaler”. Seven members composed the faculty at that time. One of them, welcomed to Bulkeley in our senior year, is still with you. I refer to Mr. Clarence E. Norris, your assistant headmaster. We rejoice with you that Mr. Norris is celebrating his silver anniversary at Bulkeley this year. How different were the school sports in our days! The first tryouts for football were held right on the front campus. No equipment of any kind was provided and each candidate used his ingenuity in assembling an outfit. The pants might have been hand-me-downs from three or four seasons. The helmets and paddings were of all descriptions. The aspirants who made the team were rewarded with uniform jerseys of orange and black. When practice began in earnest, the boys had to find their way down to Plant Field which was located near the present Plant Street. Most of them walked but anyone with a nickel boarded a trolley. Mr. Louis McCoy, the coach turned out many victorious teams. Our efforts at track consisted of one large interclass meet in the Armory each winter. This was the only opportunity a contestant had to win his numerals. Varsity basketball and baseball activities were curtailed due to the lack of proper facilities. However the different classes played informal games occasionally. The World War interfered with the careers of many of the graduates. The majority of them responded to the colors in 1917 or 1918. Fortunately, the war came to a close before any of our classmates were injured. In spite of many interruptions, sixteen (or more than sixty percent) pursued higher education at various colleges. The class produced a good quota of professional and business men. One of our members, Dr. C. John Satti, was Secretary of State of Connecticut for two terms and proved to be an able executive. Our present City Manager of New London is none other than John W. Sheedy of the Class of 1915. Distant places now claim many of our classmates. About ten have settled in New London and vicinity. Some have sons who are, or some day will be, students at dear old Bulkeley. Wm. J. Murray, D.D.S. Page twenty-two Page twenty-three First row, left to right—T. Lawley Lucy, John W. Sheedy, William J.

Time, 3:00 P. M. Place, Metropolis of New London, Connecticut. Once again 1 returned to this illustrious city, via rocket. I landed on the Bulkeley Airport: Back in 1939 it was called the loof. At once I was greeted by Headmaster Lawrence Canning and his assistant and right hand man, the janitor, William Scott. The faculty members, Locarno, Zingus, Ferris, Carlson, and Bosky were also on hand. To honor my appearance an assembly was called. The Bulkeley Jazz Band was there conducted by Maestro Rad way. In the meantime a W. M. I. floor show was going on; Lundborg was master of ceremonies. To open the assembly we sang a hyme, Hallelujah I’m a Bum, dedicated to assistant Headmaster Jack Perry. The Board of Trustees consisting of President Glassman and Vice President Katz were guests. Between you and me, Katz is sole owner at Bulkeley. Glassman later gave a short talk on behalf of the student council and on ratifying the constitution. After the assembly I met the rest of the faculty, Killeen, head of the Department in Criminology, whose assistant Baker was lecturing on the story “The Red-Headed League.” Lee and Beckwith were in charge of the English Department. Wilkens was working for Spitz. He was shoveling Super Coal down in the cellar. John Hughes was Chief chef down in the cafeteria. My next stop was at Valakos’ exclusive night spot. Bishop was doing his specialty, a balloon dance; Gigliotti was his partner. They danced to the music of Jack Carpenter, who had just returned from Hollywood where he had made his debut. He and his orchestra were whistling “Thanks For The Memories.” The orchestra was so good, that Lawrence who was eating there asked Carpenter if he could play anything by request. Carpenter replied that he could. “Then I wonder, if you would play dominoes until I’ve finished my lunch,” replied Lawrence. “Dapper” Donahue and “Art” Thomson joined in on the laughter. Later in the day, I heard over the radio that Bluebeard Havrilla had captured the notorious Hilliar Brothers, alias mugs. Cook locked them up. His honor the mayor, Jack Mulcahy, Dr. Cantrell and the D. A. Cullen were running the C. J. (clip joint) speakeasy. “Man about Town” Cupello drew the crowd, yeh; Chappell and Williams, two typical Bulkeley men straight forward and square shouldered. Coming down town I ran across New London’s business men, Deffley the Butcher, Doyle, the “Snag” Manufacturer, and the Beer King, Dondero. Their bodyguards were “King of the Underworld” Hibbard and “Two-gun” Hopkins. The New London playboys were still Leary, Nibbs and Olsen. Glassman hadn’t grown up yet. That night I went to a theatre; Baratz, Burdick and Blais were ushers. “Gunga Din” was the main attraction featuring Trakas. The co-feature was “Men in Sports” starring Dorsey, Carey, and Henderson. The short subject was Jarvis. After the show I met Fiske and Blake, both chiseling pennies from Manwaring. They were opening a pool room, McCarthy was their manager. Later on I met Farrar running messages for the “Home Western Union” station owned and operated by Pompea. Before the night was over I met Apanaschik and Kashanski, Russian Diplomats, both trying to renew the five year plan in Russia, Ballman was mediator. On my way home I stopped at the Jelly Bowl owned by Hansen. “Rub Cutter” Falconer was jiving in the jam. Lenorowitz, Kalaniian, and Abrams were rug menders. Before retiring I bought the Evening Gazette, owned by Machines and edited by Polish Propaganda Minister, Wojcoski. Bidding my companion and most intimate friend Woviotis, goodnight, I retired with a sigh of relief, because writing this Senior Class Prophecy is no joke. CHARLES C. CAREY President JAMES CANTRELL RAYMOND DONDERO GEORGE APANASCHIK Vice President Secretary Treasurer CLASS OFFICERS Page thirty-five SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On a cool September day in 1936 we entered Bulkeley as its largest Freshman Class. The class numbered close to one hundred sixty-five, there are one hundred fifteen left. We were here to do big things; the biggest is Jarvis. The commercial student in years to come will remember Mr. Peck, who was going to give us a test on our second day but postponed it every day until the finals. Mr. Stetson dogged us and Mr. O’Brien reassured us. We taught Mr. Silva some history. Mr. Balentine’s Lafayette won a game and Mr. Falconer tried to find the cause in an algebraic equation. We saw little of Mr. Flood Reed for he was busy correcting Hopkin’s book-reports. We became Sophomores and wished we were not when we ran into Mr. Ray Reed’s N. B.’s. It was generally agreed that Mr. Cole would make a good tennis player. He has a wonderful backhand. Mr. Gagnon and Mr. Shay shared honors with La Belle France. Julius Caesar rides again each year in Mr. Shay’s room. Mr. Pierce and Mr. Falconer taught us just plane geometry. In the next year Mr. Flood Reed led the attack aided by ergs and ohms. Shorthand left many shorthanded. Mr. Orcutt taught us everything but English. The Doctor taught us French, ya! We are Seniors now. We watch with baited breath as Mr. Troland flattens out a few atoms. Some one misspelled Mr. Hamlet’s name and it remains to this day Hamlen. Mr. Falconer’s daily parade of the alphabet makes us feel silly. Mr. Small has some tall history yarns. Did you know that George Washington defeated Cornsilk at Wallistown? School is the testing ground of men. The one who will do what he is told is bound to succeed. School will not make men out of fools but make bigger fools of fools. Our class was successful in many fields. In athletics we were always represented. Our parts in the Potpourri were good. So, it is with many regrets that we leave the Orange and Black, and to you, the class of nineteen forty-one, we pass the torch. Raise it high for the honor of our Alma Mater, Bulkeley School. Payc thirty-six CLASS ABRAMS, HAROLD “Hal” General Swimming 2, 3, 4; Biology Club 2, 3, 4; Bengal Weekly 2, 3, 4. Diminutive “Hal’s” printing ability has made him an invaluable assistant to Mr. Balentine and the Bengal Weekly. We wonder if his managerial ability is responsible for the success of our weekly news sheet. APANASCHIK, GEORGE “Shorty” Commercial Freshman Basketball; Basketball 2, 3, 4; Track 1; Swimming 3; Cross-Country 4; Class Treasurer 4. “Shorty” is a real example of the saying “Appearances are often deceiving” as many a rival player has learned to his sorrow when “Shorty” began dropping them in from all angles. His good nature, sportsmanship, and modesty, have made him one of the most popular fellows in the class. BACH. CARL “Carl” Commercial Bowling 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 4; Volleyball 3, 4. Carl possesses an unusual knack for keeping quiet. Consequently, he has passed through Bulkeley without much notice. He is, though, a good worker and a willing friend, and is popular in his own circle. We know he will succeed in whatever work he adopts. BAKER, RICHARD “Red” Commercial Intramural Sports 1, 3; Business Arithmetic Prize 1; Bookkeeping Prize 2; History Prize 3; Shorthand 60 Word Dictation Certificate 4; Gregg 100 Word Theory Certificate. “Red” Baker’s accomplishments in the commercial division have long aroused our admiration and respect. Competent and quiet, his modest bearing has attracted dozens of friends. WHALER Page thirty seven SEN I OF BALLMAN. RICHARD “Dick” Classical Football 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Volleyball 3, 4; President of Student Council 4; Bengal Weekly 1, 2, 3, 4; Assistant Editor 2, 3; Editor-in-Chief 4; Biology Club 2, 3, 4; Vice President 3; President 4; French Club 2; Hi-Y 3, 4; Literary Editor Whaler 4. “Dick” has entered into many of our school activities, and when there is anything to be done he is always one of the first to volunteer his services. His performance on the gridiron was outstanding. In the line of scholastic activity “Dick” has been one of the leaders—a very good student. He is president of the Student Council. He won a name for himself as literary editor of “The Whaler”. We are expecting big things from him and we are sure he will meet with success. BARATZ. MORTON “Mo” Classical Track 3,4; Swimming 3, Cross-Country 3, 4; Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 4; French Club 3, 4; Latin Club 3; Biology Club 4; Bengal Weekly 1, 2, 3, 4. “Mo” is the champion pessimist of the Senior Class, and his sustained grumbling and ironic comments about the most trivial matters have relieved the monotony of our daily routine. Somehow, “Mo” has managed to weather safely all his afflictions, real or pretended. BARRY, JOHN “Johnny” Classical Intramural Basketball 3, 4; Latin Club 3; French Club 3; Band 1, 2, 3, 4. Barry’s chief claim for fame lies in his band activities, where he handles a mean clarinet. His cheery manner has made for him a host of friends, and we know in later years we will find John a success in whatever field he ventures. BECKMAN, DAROLD “Darold” Classical Potpourri 1, 4. Darold has achieved considerable fame as the “little” orator of the senior class. We think his aura of dignity arose after his memorable performances as Gladys in our Freshman Potpourri. We hope that he will one day achieve fame on Broadway or the screen. Page thirty-eight THE 1940 CLASS BID WELL, TED “Ted’’ Classical Football 2, 3, 4; Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3, 4. “Ted’s” four cylinder antique and his (and its) adventures with the young gentry of Hill Street will become legend at Bulkeley. His marvelous calm in the situation served him well, and he emerged triumphant. “Ted’s” studious habits and friendly nature will serve him in good stead throughout life. BISHOP. KENNETH “Bish” Commercial Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Volleyball 3, 4; Vice President 2; Secretary 3; Football 1, 2, 3. “Bish” is that husky, good-looking fellow seen at all Bulkeley’s social functions. He devotes much of his time to the support of school activities, and though he is no burner of the midnight oil, “Bish” manages to hold his own scholastically. BLAIS. LOUS Lou College “Lou” is Bulkeley’s gift to Hollywood. Many times have his accomplishments brought fame to Bulkeley, and his work in directing this year’s Potpourri resulted in a prizewinning play for the Seniors. His hard-working nature is the key to his popularity. BLAKE, RICHARD “Lug1 General Swimming 2; Class Sports 2; Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y Club 3. “Lug’s” reserved nature and quiet manners have perhaps prevented him from being quite as well known as he might be. We remember him, though, as the fellow who won hands-down the “eight-ball” championship of the Junior Hi-Y. Who knows but that he may some day blossom out and surprise his fellow students. Page thirty-nine WHALER SENIOR BOSKY. WALTER “Walt” Classical Returning to Bulkeley after a two-year stay at Tech, “Walt” has quickly become an established class member. We expect “Walt’s” basketball talents will add to the glory of this year’s promising team. BUNK LEY. JOSEPH “Joe” General Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4; Interclass Baseball 2, 3, 4; Potpourri 3; Cross-Country 1, 2, 3, 4. “Joe’s” ready grin and spontaneous wit have enlivened many a Bulkeley class. In his third year we suddenly discovered he was a second Clark Gable when he turned in a fine performance in the Potpourri. “Joe” promises to develop into another Glenn Cunningham, for he’s one of our Cross-Country’s constant scorers. Who knows but that someday he may star in the Olympics. BURDICK, DONALD “Hyde” Commercial Basketball 2, 3, 4; Track 1, 4; Intramural Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2; Potpourri 4; Biology Club 2; Band 2; Hi-Y 4. “Don” is one of the quieter fellows about the school. He doesn’t say much, but we find him going silently and efficiently about his work, accomplishing it without any fuss or bother. “Don” is a strong supporter of sports, being something of a basketball player in his own right. He can really sink those long ones. BURGESS. ROBERT “Burge” Classical Assistant Manager Football 3, Manager 4; Hi-Y 4; French Club 3; Student Council 4. “You can’t keep a good man down,” according to the saying, and just try to suppress our little friend “Burge”. Despite, or because of, his small size, he gets into the thick of things. “Burge’s” friendly smile and cheerful attitude toward everything accounts for his popularity around school. No need to wish “Burge” luck, he swims in it. Payc forty THE 1940 CLASS CANNING. LAURENCE “La” Commercial Track 1, 2; Freshman Basketball, Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Interclass Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4. “La’s” diminutive figure scurrying thither and yon about our halls is a common sight to all. His ready bits of humor have made him a well-liked student at Bulkeley. CANTRELL. JAMES 'Jimmy Classical Tennis 1, 2, 3, 4, Captain 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 3, 4; Intramural Volleyball 3, 4; Vice Pres. 4; Latin Club 3; Manager of Program Committee 4; French Club 3; Vice President of French Club 4; Biology Club 4; Latin Prize 3; Orchestra 2, 3. “Jimmy” Cantrell is an all-around man, for besides being Bulkeley’s finest tennis player, “Jim” is also one of the best students. While others have been proclaiming themselves to anyone who would listen, “Jimmy” has been quietly accumulating a set of enviable grades. “Jimmy” is a real team man; he’s certainly marked for success. When he’s given anything to do, we know that it will be done. CARE. ERNEST “Nester” Commercial Football 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 1; Intramural Baseball 3, Bowling 4. Niantic may well be proud of its representation in Bulkeley, for it numbers among it some of our best scholars and athletes; “Nester” is Exhibit A. Despite his small size he manages to hold his own on the football field and in his studies. “Nester’s” scrappiness will enable him to overcome whatever difficulties he may encounter in life, we are sure. CAREY, CHARLES “Charlie” Classical Basketball 3, 4; Class Baseball 1; Intramural Basketball 1, 2; Class President 2, 4; Hi-Y 4; French Club 3, 4; Latin Club 2, 3; Biology Club 4. “Charlie’s” lanky form and comradely air are well known about school. “Charlie” is a good student, a good athlete and a good fellow. What more could one ask? WHALER Page forty-one CARLSON. FELIX Commercial SEN I 0 r Fee’ Football 3, 4; Basketball 3, 4; Track 1, 2, 3, 4; Swimming 1, 2, 3; Cross-Country 1, 2; Class Baseball 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2; Prom Committee 3. Felix’s happy-go-lucky ways, and his ever present good humor make him welcome wherever he may go. Felix is no mean hand with the ladies as any number of broken hearts at W. M. I. and Fitch will testify. CARPENTER. JOHN “Jack” Classical Football 2, 3, 4; Bengal Weekly 1, 2, 3, 4; Whaler Activities 3, 4; Potpourri 1, 3, 4; Class Vice President 3; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Volleyball 3, 4. “Deeds, not words” seems to have been the motto that “Jack” has adopted during his stay at Bulkeley. A leader in dramatics and athletics, his stellar performances have been most outstanding. He has done splendid work as a member of The Whaler Staff. Quiet and unassuming, “Jack” has won a place in the heart of everyone and the heartiest wishes of all go out to him for certain success in later life. CHAPPELL. GEORGE “Chip” General Football 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3; Baseball 3, 4. “Chip” is rather quiet and reserved in school but let him get a football or a baseball in his hands and he is rarin’ to go. George’s never failing good humor will be long remembered by his classmates. CLARK IN. THOMAS “Thomas” Commercial Thomas first attracted the attention of the senior class in the bloody “civil war” which raged in Room 17 this year. Thomas’ small size must have protected him, for he emerged several times unscathed from grueling struggles with Jack Perry. We hope life will be a “Bed of Roses” for you, “Tom”. Page forty-two THE 1940 CLASS CONDON, THOMAS “Pop ’ Classical French Club 3; Latin Club 3; Biology Club 3; President Senior Hi-Y 4. “Tommy” is one of our jolliest seniors, and is always overflowing with wit and banter. His good humor forms an insurmountable barrier to troubles of all sort, and his abundant flow of cheerful remarks has made him friends with practically everyone in the school. We hope that everything goes your way in life, “Pop”. COOK. THOMAS “Tommy” Commercial “Tom” possesses a very attractive personality. He is one of the most popular and best-natured fellows in Bulke-ley. One never sees “gloom” on “Tom’s” face and is often called “the fellow with a smile”. He has always been a true and loyal supporter of all varsity teams and of the other school activities. In his scholastic work he has given his very best, which has resulted in many fine grades in many subjects. Blessed with a pleasing personality, going forward with a serious aim, “Tom” will surely succeed in later life. CRANKKR, DOUGLASS “Doug” Commercial “Doug” goes about the school quietly and studiously, seldom mingling in the social affairs of the students. The fact that he always maintains the same steady, sober outlook on life is the secret of his popularity in his own circle. CULLEN, JOHN “Bill Terry” General Class Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Intramural Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Vice President 1, Potpourri 1, 4; Hi-Y 4; Chairman Prom Committee 3, Whaler Room Captain 1, 2, 3; Bengal Weekly 2, 3, 4; Student Council 4. Meet one of the most popular men in Bulkeley School, Johnny Cullen, our number one sports enthusiast. His zeal for sports is perhaps exceeded by one thing—his passion for the music of Artie Shaw. “Johnny’s” spirited debates on current questions of sport and music sometimes cause him to reach undreamed of oratorical heights. May your arguments always be merry and strong, John. Pape forty-three WHALER SENIOR CUPELLO. CHARLES “Cuppy” Classical Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Co-Capt. Baseball 4; Freshman Basketball, Basketball 2, 3; Biology Club 3, 4; President Biology Club 3; Prom Committee 3. “Cuppy” is that niftily dressed fellow you’ve seen striding through the halls with a genial smile upon his face. His pitching ability is unsurpassed and he has managed to compile a record second to none. We know he has a future in the Big Leagues and wish him all sorts of luck. DEFFLEY, JOHN “Red Commercial Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3,4; Biology Club 2, 3; Hi-Y Club 2; Whaler Assistant 3. “Red” is a sheik of the first order, and he and “Feet” Perry form the Number 1 night-hawk combination of the Senior Class. “Red’s” many humorous comments in Mr. Hamlen’s English class have enlightened many an otherwise dull day for us. May good luck attend your carefree progress, “Red”. DELPRIORE. ROCCO “Rock” Commercial “Rock” is a tall, good-natured fellow. He doesn’t say much, but he’s an ardent supporter of all school activities. His all-around good fellowship and spirit have won him a host of loyal friends. “Rock” is a good sport, and not afraid of work. DIPOLLINA, DOMINIC “Dip” General Class Baseball 1, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4. “Dip” is one of those fellows who seem to disappear immediately after the close of school. We don’t see much of him but his big shock of black hair is a familiar sight around the corridors. He is a member of the Hopkins, Hibbard Triumvirate who have been seeking fame for four years. Page forty-four THE 1940 CLASS DONAHUE, ROBERT W. “Dapper Commercial Manager Baseball 3; Assistant Track Manager 2; Cross-Country 2; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Potpourri 3; Biology Club 2, 3; Potpourri Prize 3. “Dapper is best noted for his slick hair which is the envy of many seniors. He is a regular patron of “Rudd's Swing Palace , and gets along very well with the ladies. His dramatic ability was effectively shown when he took honors in the 1938 Potpourri. He is usually at the bottom of any deviltry started in the school, but always worms his way out of it. Good luck, “Dap . DONAHUE, ROBERT E. “Bob Classical “Bob is a quiet fellow noted for his modesty, but put him on a golf course and he carries all before him. In fact, he's the junior champion of the Shennecosset Country Club. We wonder how he manages to get those high marks, and yet always bring home so few books. How about telling us the secret, “Bob ? DONDERO. RAY “Ray General Football 2, 3, 4; Basketball 3, 4; Class Basketball 2, 4; Prom Committee 3. “Ray's carefree conduct in the midst of the most pressing difficulties and his lack of concern for the biggest assignments have earned the envy and admiration of all those who know him. His nonchalance is not without base, for Ray always gets by. We hope his ability to overcome difficulty will stay by him, for he always manages to keep in the thick of things. DORSEY, JOHN “Jack Classical Basketball 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2; Cross-Country 2, 3; Hi-Y Club 4; French Club 3. “Jack's basketball ability was discovered in his junior year by Coach O’Brien, and since then he has been a mainstay of the team. “Jack’s pleasing shy smile and flashes of wit captivate. We are happy to acclaim him as one of our classmates. Page forty-five WHALER SENIOR DOYLE, DENNIS A.. Jr. “Dinny” Commercial Track 3, 4; Cross-Country 1, 2; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 4. “Dinny” is one of those fellows about whom little is known. He is noted for his pood humor, and we all know him for his broad grin and cheery “hello” with which he greets us in the halls. During his Junior year he won all honors for being tardy. I)RAGO, ANTHONY “Tony General Hockey 3; Intramural Basketball 3, 4; Biology Club 4; Hi-Y 3. Though “Tony” has no fondness for school work, he has always been ready and eager for a lark. His jitterbug dancing ability and good looks keep him in demand at all social functions, and we find him one of Bulkeley’s feature attractions at W. M. I. DUGGAN, RICHARD “Dick” Commercial Basketball 2; Track 1, 2; Cross-Country 1,2; Freshman Basketball; Intramural Basketball 3, 4; Biology Club 3, 4; Prom Committee 3; Whaler Captain 3. Lanky “Dick” Duggan is a basketball fiend and a high scorer in the intramural league. When not off practicing somewhere, he can usually be found discussing heatedly with Johnny Cullen. His likeable disposition has earned him many friends. FALCONER, DAVID “Dave” Classical Intramural Basketball 4; Junior Whaler Assistant 3; Associate Editor of Whaler 4; Volleyball 3, 4. “Dave” is a boy in whom we have good reasons to be proud. In the classroom and out of it, he has always conducted himself in a manner befitting a gentleman and in a way that gives to our school those characteristics which people so much expect of Bulkeley. Being slight of stature, “Dave”, was not able to compete in the major athletics, but made up for this by his hard work on The Whaler Staff. He can be trusted in any situation and can be relied upon to complete any task set before him. We know he will make good in life as he has done among us. Page forty-six THE 1940 CLASS FARRAR, CLAYTON “Bud” General Track 1, 2, 3, 4, Co-Capt. 4; Cross-Country 1, 2, 3, 4, Captain 4; Interclass Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Hockey 2; Whaler Assistant 3. Husky “Bud” is the outstanding speedster of the class and for four years he has led our famous cross-country team to victory. When not running, we find him devoting a good deal of his time to his nautical interests; his ability as a T. Y. C. champion is unquestioned but we ds question his ability as a heartbreaker. FELTCORN. VICTOR “Vic” Commercial Biology Club 2. “Vic” is a quiet, serious fellow who has worked hard during his stay at Bulkeley, and has compiled an enviable record. He is a dependable man of action, always punctual in his work, and popular with his fellow students. “Vic” has a bright future in some office, somewhere. FERRIS, DAVID “Dave' Classical Potpourri 4. “Dave” came to us in our Junior year, and he seems to like Bulkeley for he’s still here; at least he still takes history from Mr. Pasquale. Good-looking “Dave” is one of our social lions, and has become a regular patron of Bulkeley sports and dances. We envy his ability to take things easy and have everything come out right in the end. FISKE, FLOYD “Pat” (ieneral Football 3; Baseball 2, 3, 4; Swimming 2; Class Baseball 1; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 3. “Pat” is one of our most famous athletes; he particularly stars at pitching on the baseball team. His greatest feat was in the 18 inning game with Norwich where he relieved “Charley” Cupello and effectively silenced the Wildcats, eventually winning the game. “Pat” has a future in organized ball, we know, and we wish him all sorts of luck. “Pat” makes his own breaks. Page forty-seven WHALER SENIOR FOSS. HETRICK ABEL Classical “Ted” Tennis 4. “Ted” is a newcomer to Bulkeley this year, transferring from our rival Windham High, but he has already proven himself a true friend and supporter of Bulkeley activities. He possesses a good nature and seems to let few things bother him. FRENCH. ROGER “Frenchie” Classical Latin Club 2, 3; French Club 3. If at any time you see a pair of gesticulating arms and a hysterical voice emitting from an earnest little chap, then you’ve seen “Frenchie”. “Frenchie” is a charter member of Room 17 Debating Club, and is ready at any time to argue about anything and everything. He’s quite a scholar too, and his Physics and Chem theories are the most profound in school. If any of your mad genius ideas ever bear fruit, we’re ready to jump on your bandwagon, “Frenchie”. GELINAS, BERNARD “Geliy” Classical Tennis 4; Intra-Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Latin Club 2. Bernie is one of the “Dapper Dans” of the school. But, it is generally accepted that he and Bud Farrar, his inseparable companion, gave Perry and Deffley a close run for their title of “Nighthawks”. GIGLIOTTI. ROSARIO “Gig ♦ Classical Football 1, 2; Latin Club 3, 4; French Club 3; French Prize 3; Harvard Scholarship Prize 3. “Knowledge is power” sayeth the old proverb, and “Gig” is the best student in our class. He is no bookworm though, for “Gig” knows baseball inside and out and his favorite textbook is the Baseball Annual. In fact he’s the Number One Yankee fan in Bulkeley. Any time you want “Gig” look for a furious red face and waving arms in the midst of any baseball argument. That’s “Gig”. Page forty-eight THE 1940 CLASS CLASSMAN, SANFORD “Brother” Classical Editor-in-Chief of Whaler 4; Waterboy 1, 2, 3, 4; Cheerleader 4; Student Council 4; Whaler Assistant 1, 2, 3; Potpourri 1; Volleyball 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3; Biology Club 3; French Club 3. Sanford, did not enter actively into athletics but he was always to be seen at the games, cheering and lending his moral support. He possesses a very attractive personality and is one of the best-natured and best-liked fellows in school. As Editor-in-Chief of The Whaler Staff, he has been a most faithful and ardent worker and has contributed greatly to the success of the 1040 Whaler. Sanford is assured of success and leaves us with our sincerest and best wishes. GUSTAFSON, HAROLD “Gus” Commercial Band 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 4. If silence is golden, then “Gus” is the richest boy in Bulkeley. “Gus” has managed to keep pretty much in the background, but we are always pleasantly aware of him. When he gets into his band uniform though, he changes, for Gus is a premier clarinet player in the band. His quiet manners and school spirit have endeared him to us all. HANSEN, NILS “Nils” General Football 2, 3, 4; Baseball 2, 4; Basketball 1, 3; Intramural Basketball 2; Class Baseball 3. Shaking the dust of the country from his heels, Nils comes in from the outposts of Quaker Hill every morning to attend Bulkeley. With a grin and cheerful word for everyone, Nils is liked by all, both in Bulkeley and W. M. I. HART, ROBERT “Bob” Commercial Intramural Basketball 3, 4. “Bob” is the most traveled member of our senior class, for every year of his high school education has been spent in a different school. He came to us last year from New Haven Commercial, and slipped at once into our routine. Even though we haven’t had much of a chance to get acquainted with him, we’ve already found him to be a real pal. Page forty-nine WHALER S E N I O I HAVRILLA, ANDREW “Andy General Track 1; Bengal Weekly 2. “Andy” has managed to float through four years with a minimum of exertion and a maximum of enjoyment. Whenever a dance requiring a record player and an announcer was planned, “A. J.” was consulted. And, on the appointed night he would be there with his set and the records, conducting affairs with the manner of Bine Crosby. HAYES, ROBERT “Hazy Commercial Track 1; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 4. “Hazy” is one of the mainstays of the band, where his trumpet may be heard clattering from his lap to the floor during assembly. His career delivering milk keeps him always on the run, but he manages to squeeze in time for school some how. “Hazy's” work keeps him hustling all day long. HENDERSON, FRANKLYN B. “Dank” Classical Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Latin Club 2; French Club 2; Biology Club 4; Whaler Junior Assistant 3; Athletic Editor of Whaler 4. “Dank”, “Knobby”, “Swede”, or “Curly”, whichever of his several nicknames you choose to employ, will always be remembered for his ready smile and for his gridiron exploits. We wish him plenty of success and hope that his desire to become a doctor will be fulfilled. HIBBARD, CHARLES “Dutch” Classical Baseball 2, 3, 4; Basketball 3, 4; Interclass Baseball 1, 2, 3; Intramural Basketball 1, 2; Orchestra 1, 2. “Dutch's” clever witticisms and all encompassing good humor are known and liked by all in Bulkeley. Big as he is, “Dutch” has the proverbial heart of gold, even to see him swapping punches with Hopkins. THE - 19 4 0 Page fifty CLASS HILLIAR, EDGAR Ed ft Commercial Biology Club 4; Glee Club 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4. “Ed” is one of the illustrous senior members of the orchestra where he gives out on the piano. “Ed” is also an accomplished organ player, and his work at St. James’ has brought him much fame. “Ed’s” ambition is to write a successful opera, and we all wish our musical prodigy luck. May success be yours, “Ed”. HILLIAR. JOHN “Johnny” Commercial John is that tall, wavy-haired fellow you’ve seen walking around the school. He’s somewhat of a mystery, for every afternoon at dismissal he vanishes. “Johnny’s” grave manner and slow serious smile, has detracted from his popularity with his fellow students in no way. HOLMES, DONALD “Don” General Intramural Basketball 4; Biology Club 2; Stamp Club 4; Band 1, 2, 3, 4. “Don” is one of the “little H” boys—Holmes, Hopkins, and Huard. He’s always on the go, and will be remembered as the publisher of that memorable sheet, “The Pequot Post”. Will journalism be your chosen field, “Don”, or will that clarinet take you over? HOPKINS. IRVING “floppy” Classical Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Baseball 1, 3, 4; Potpourri 3; French Club 2; Hi-Y 3, 4. “Hop” is a distinguished example of the saying, “Good things come in small packages.” Despite his small size, “Hop” has shown himself tops as a scholar and athlete. He is the pitcher on our interclass baseball team, and a star performer in the intramural basketball league. “Hop” is tiny, but mighty. Page fifty-one WHALER SENIOR HUARD, EDWARD “Ed � Commercial Assistant Manager Basketball 3, Manager 4; Assistant Manager Track 1; Swimming 3; Cross-Country 1; Intramural Basketball 1, 2; Potpourri 1; French Club 3; Student Council 4; Stage Crew 3, 4. “Ed”, manager of the varsity basketball team, has taken Charley Pickhardt’s place as Coach O’Brien’s aid on the gym floor. Our only worry is that the long pole dim-inuitive “Ed” uses to open the windows will throw him some day. HUGHES. JOHN “Johnny” Commercial Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball 2, 3; Track 3, 4; Swimming 1, 2, 3; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Baseball 1, 4. Husky John Hughes, one of 40’s premier athletes has added much glory to Bulkeley football, at end. and baseball, as catcher. “Johnny” kept the football locker-room in a constant uproar this fall, with his “weak rings”. “Johnny” seems already destined for the Electric Boat Company where we know he will succeed. JARVIS, VINCENT “Vinny” Classical Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Freshman Basketball; Basketball 2, 3, 4 ; Volleyball 3; Biology Club 2; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Whaler Activities 2, 3, 4. Don’t let Vinn’s huge stature and weight fool you, for “Vinny’s” really the kindest and most obliging of fellows. His basketball and football abilities have aided his popularity in school, and we know if he keeps up the fight in life, he will succeed. KALAMIAN, ALEXANDER “Alex” Classical “Alex” is one of our math giants, and consistently astounds us with his lofty marks and dazzling algebraic solutions. His silence in the classrooms often leads us to underrate him, but we are sure that he’s on the roadway to success. Page fifty-two THE 1940 CLASS KASHANSKI, JOHN “Russian” Commercial Class Baseball 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; President Stamp Club 4; French Club 3. “Russian” is an ardent supporter of Bulkeley athletic teams, and we always find him the center of an impromptu cheering section at any game. His pleasing personality and ability as a humorist make him an excellent friend, admired by all. “Russian” is a good example of the true Bulkeley man. KATZ, LOUIS “Lou” Commercial Business Manager of Whaler 4; Junior Assistant 3; Whaler Activities 1, 2; Volleyball 3, 4; Treasurer Stamp Club 4; Band 1, 2, 3, 4. “Lou” has taken up the torch where Bernie Wolfe left it last year, and has already proven himself one of the best business managers the Whaler has had, for his capacity for accomplishing things is unlimited. Here is a man who will succeed in whatever business he undertakes. KILLEEN. JOHN “Red” Classical Track 2, 4; Class Baseball 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Volleyball 3; Potpourri 3, 4; Biology Club 3; French Club 3; Whaler Activities 3, 4. “Red” is Montville’s chief claim to recognition in Bulkeley, and we find him the proud possessor of the best thatch of red hair in the school. His ever-ready grin and friendly attitude are his chief assets as one of the most popular fellows in the school. LAWRENCE, JAMES “Yut” Commercial Bengal Weekly 4; Whaler Secretary 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Swimming 2; Orchestra 1; Cross-Country 3; Class Baseball 2; Volleyball 3, 4; French Club 3; Stage Crew 2, 3, 4. “Yut” is one of our busiest seniors, but manages to divide his time typing, between the Whaler and The Bengal Weekly. However, he also finds time to star at basketball for Room 15. His interpretation of “In the Mood” on the piano is very tricky. Pretty busy life, huh, “Yut”? Page fifty-three WHALER SENIOR LEARY, ROBERT “Bob’ Classical Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Freshman Basketball; Basketball 2, 3, 4; Track 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Officer 1; Student Council 4. “Bob” Leary is one of the reasons why Bulkeley can point to its athletic record with pride, for “Bob” has been a varsity athlete all through Bulkeley. He particularly excels in Track, and his fighting feet have led home many a field in the quarter mile. May your race through life be as merry, “Bob”. LEE, ALAN “Lee” Classical Biology Club 2, 3, 4; Latin Club 4; French Club 4; Plane Geometry Prize 2; Solid Geometry Prize 3. Lee is the most sought-after student in the class of ’40, for he’s our brightest mathematical star. He’s ready to take issue on any subject, and some of his theories and short cuts confound even Mr. Falconer. We expect to see Alan some day wearing the trim Cadet gray of West Point. LEIPER. LESLIE “Les” General Intramural Basketball 3, 4. “Les” and Ted Bidwell are those two tall fellows you usually see driving around in “Ted’s” horseless carriage, jammed with Bulkeley students. Life is not all fun for “Les”, though, for he’s a serious and sincere student. LENOROWITZ, NORMAN “Norm” General Baseball 2; Interclass Baseball 1, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4. “Norm” is one of our many popular seniors and we can’t say too many good things about him. lie’s a good athlete, a good sport, a good student and first of all a good fellow. “Norm’s” chief ability, however, is at the tic-tae-toe where he defeated all comers time and time again. We expect him to be national champion, no fooling. Page fifty-four THE 1940 CLASS LEWIS, JOHN “Baldy” Classical Latin Club 1; Latin Prize 1; Latin Prize 2; Band 1, 2, 3. “BaldyV is the possessor of a crew-cut that has made him the target for all sorts of good-humored wise-cracks, which he has endured in the best of style. “Baldy” is a real student, and his Latin marks are the envy of his less fortunate fellows and the pride of Dr. Philippse. LOCARNO. HARRY “Harry Commercial Little Harry has been somewhat overshadowed by the accomplishments of his big brother, Mario, but he excels in one field. He’s a speller of the first water, a talent which he exhibited to us nobly in this year’s spelling bees. Harry’s quietness is his most distinguishing feature. LOCARNO. MARIO “Mario” Commercial Bowling 1; Football 2, 3, 4. Mario’s entrance into any group is always the signal for several minutes of laughter and horse play, for Mario is a real cut-up. Despite the sternest of Mr. Orcutt’s admonitions, Mario’s antics continue unabated. His carefree attitude indicates his pleasant character. LOUGEE, RICHARD “Dick” Classical Intramurals. “Dick” is a slight, short fellow, and appears to many to be totally devoid of athletic ability, but he has several times shown himself to be an intramural league “slugger”. He also covered himself with glory in the civil war which raged in the back seats of Room 17 this year. Page fifty-five WHALER SENIOR LUNDBORG. HAROLD “Swede” General Unobtrusive “Swede” Lundborg is one of our forgotten men, for his retiring disposition and constraint have kept him in the background at Bulkeley. But he has been a steady plugger in all his activities and has achieved an enviable reputation as a hard worker and good sport. “Swede” is bound to succeed. MacINNES, C HARLES “Mac Classical Track 1; Tennis 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Volleyball 3, 4; French Club 2, 3; Latin Club 2, 3; Biology Club 3; Hi-Y 3, 4; Whaler Assistant 3; Circulation Manager 4. Every time good-looking “Mac” strolls by W.M.I., he causes any number of pulses to quicken. He's a man of many talents but so far he has succeeded in keeping us ignorant of most of them. Judging by his after school garage work, “Mac” will some day be a big automobile manufacturer. MANWARING, JAMES “Whit” General Football 2, 3, 4; Baseball 2, 3, 4; Class Baseball 1; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 4. “Whit” has had his share of troubles, but he has emerged triumphant from everything. Stricken by pneumonia in his Junior year, he spent months in the hospital. Now we find him one of the mainstays of this year’s football team, and a promising baseball player. “Whit’s” courage and unique humor has endeared him to us. MASSAD. RAUL “Coach” Classical Track 1, 2; Latin Club 2, 3, 4; French Club 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 2, 4; Glee Club 3. “Coach” is a language shark, and one of Dr. Philippse’s best students. This year, though, he has developed into quite an orator. His speeches have awed the freshmen, and earned the admiration of the upper classmen. Coach’s serious outlook is his best defense against the temptations of the world. Page fifty-six THE 1940 CLASS . McCarthy, john Joseph “Mac” Classical Track 4; Cross-Country 1, 4; Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4; Biology Club 3; French Club 3; Hi-Y 3; Whaler Assistant 3; Circulation Manager 4. “Mac” is probably the most easy going fellow in the senior class. Nothing seems to trip “Mac” up as he strolls smoothly along, and no problem, no matter how difficult, disturbs him. While working for the Whaler, though, “Mac” is a different sort of a fellow, as some can tell you. MEYER, RALPH ‘Ralph” College Ralph is well liked by his fellow students, but it seems that all attempts to get him to engage in our extracurricular activities have been in vain. We particularly admire him for his calm and friendly demeanor, and we know that it will serve him well in later life. MEYER. ROBERT “Bob” Classical “Bob” has established a new school record at Bulkeley for unobtrusiveness. Those of us who are familiar with him, however, can vouch for his friendly spirit and pleasant sense of humor. His best and least-appreciated gift, however, is his ability to say things at the right times. MIDDLETON, EDWARD D., JR. “Speed” Classical “Speed” is one of our new students, and we have already found him to be a good fellow. His slow way of speaking and subtle wit are his most intriguing features. Don’t let his nickname fool you, though. “Speed’s” slow manner is famous throughout the school. WHALER Page fifty seven MILLER. SOLOMON SENIOR Sor Commercial Swimming 3; Intramural Basketball 4. Chunky little “Sol” Miller is distinguished for one outstanding trait—perseverance. His constant efforts to better himself are admired by everyone, and we know his conscientiousness will some day bear fruit in some field. His sincerity is undoubted. MULCAHY, JACK “Red” Classical Tennis 3, 4; Eastern Connecticut Tennis Doubles Championship; Swimming 1, 3, 4; Hockey 2; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Student Council 4. “Red’s” prowess as a major source of melody in the band is undoubted, and his red hair and freckled cheeks draw every eye to him. In his spare time, “Red’s” a member of the championship Spitz-Mulcahy doubles combination. Who knows but that Bulkeley has developed another Don Budge? MURPHY, DAVID JOSEPH “Dave” Commercial Biology Club 2, 3; French Club 3. “Dave” is probably destined to be a politician, for his mild manner and pleasant air disarms even the most suspicious of men. His gentle demeanor perhaps makes some of us underestimate him, but “Dave” is a real fellow, as those who know of his escapades will testify. NIBBS, GRAHAM “Ham“ Classical Football 3, 4; Track 2, 3, 4; Swimming 2, 3, 4; Cross-Country 2; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Freshman Class President 1; French Club 3; Student Council. “Ham” and “Mo” Baratz have kept Dr. Philippse in a state of helpless rage for two years. The Doctor’s “Say you, Chips, and Baratzsky”, always invokes a storm of incredulous questions, but we generally find the mischief twins saddled with a detention apiece. “Hans” humor has contributed much to our school life and we wish him success in his future life. Page fifty-eight THE 1940 CLASS NEILAN. DANIEL “Dan Commercial “Dan” is another one of those fellows no one ever notices, for his modest and unassuming nature keep him in the background. We find him, though, a supporter of all school activities. “Dan’s” perseverance will make his life a success, we know. NIEDZWECKI. STANLEY “Niedz” Classical Football 2, 3; Intramural Basketball 1. “Niedz” is a fellow we don’t hear much about, but he’s a real worker. His school spirit is unflagging, and we find him at every basketball and football game. “Niedz’s” interest in aviation should bring him to higher positions. O’CONNELL. NORMAN “Okie” Commercial Band 1; Intramural Basketball 1; Cross-Country 1; Track 1; Baseball 3, 4. Tall and quiet, Norman has managed to keep pretty much to himself during his years in Bulkeley; consequently his abilities are unknown to us. Judging the future by the past, Norman’s quiet and confident bearing leads us to predict that he will some day distinguish himself in the business world. OLSON, LOUIS “Ollie” Classical Biology Club 2; Latin Club 2; Swimming 2, 3; Volleyball 3, 4; Sophomore Latin Prize 2. Louis is one of those rare fish called “Sharks” in Bulkeley. He transferred from the wilds of Michigan in our freshman year, and since has compiled for himself one of outstanding scholarship records. Louis’ struggles with his slide rule kept Room 17 laughing for weeks. WHALER Page fifty-nine SENIOR PERRY, JACK “Jack” Classical Football 3, 4; Baseball 1, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 3, 4; Whaler Room Captain 3. Jack is one of the outstanding football athletes of our class. He plays a whale of a game at tackle, and his basketball skill is hard to equal. This success has not affected Jack’s personality in the least and therefore Jack’s one of the most popular. With this same spirit of competition Jack has obtained qualifying grades in his studies. PLOUFFE, RAYMOND “Ray” General “Ray” is yet another of our little-known seniors for he has moved through Bulkeley in his own sphere, seldom looking to right or left but moving steadily onward. Extracurricular activities don't seem to tempt him, so what he does with his spare time is a mystery to us. POMPEA, EDWARD T. “Eddie” Commercial “Eddie” is that fellow walking around with the lost expression on his face, for “Eddie” is a radio bug, and his pockets are always bulging with catalogs and drawings. Despite his abstraction, he has slipped easily through Bulkeley, and now stands on the threshold of his big chance. Good luck, “Eddie”. POWERS, JOE T. “Joe” Commercial Track 1, 2; Cross-Country 1; Potpourri 3; Biology Club 2, 3. Good-humored “Joe” Powers is one of the quieter members of the class of ’40, so he’s not very well known around the school. He has a real sense of humor, and is always ready to appreciate a good joke. We wonder what he will adopt for his life work? Page sixty THE 1940 CLASS ' RAI)WAY. ROBERT “Bob” General Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Bowling 4; Xmas Dance Committee 3, 4; Student Council 4. “Bob” Radway has developed into one of the class leaders, and we find him in the forefront of every activity he participates in. “Bob” stars in the band too, where he gives out a mean trumpet. ROWLEY, EDW ARD “Ned” Classical Baseball 4; Swimming 2, 3; Class Baseball 3; Intramural Basketball 1, 3, 4. “Appearances are deceiving,” relates the old adage, and that sure goes for “Ned”. He looks like the sleepiest fellow in Bulkelcy, but he’s far from that. He’s a hustling shortstop on our interclass baseball team and stars on the swimming team. “Ned” is one of those fellows who are determined to come to the top in whatever field they enter, and he usually does. RYAN, GERALD “Ryan” General Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4. “Ryan” is the most perverse and impish fellow in the senior class, so that we always find him doing something wrong. His usual alibi, glibly delivered, is “Well, I didn’t know, but.........” “Ryan” will be remembered for the length and verosity of his answers to Mr. Pasquale’s history questions. RYAN. THOMAS “Tape” Commercial Swimming 2; Class Baseball 2; Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 2, 3. “Tape” has distinguished himself during his four year stay at Bulkeley by his quiet and friendly attitude. He’s always willing to help with anything, a fact which has endeared him to us all. “Tape’s” calm outlook on life, combined with his resourcefulness, should enable him to succeed. Page sixty-one whaler SALVAGNA. DOMINIC S E N I O ‘Dom” General Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; French Club 2, 3; Bookkeeping Prize 2. “Dom” is the shark of the general division of the class; for four years his high averages have demanded our envy and respect. He is always ready to help any perplexed student, and his cheery grin and “Hi” are a welcome sight in the corridors. To “Dom” we extend our appreciation of a real pal and helper. SAWICKY. WILLIAM • Bill” Commercial Baseball 4; Intramural Basketball 4. “Bill” is one of the forgotten men around Bulkeley. Probably if his picture didn’t appear here, you wouldn’t even recall him now. Those that know him will testify to his worth, for he’s a quiet and efficient worker. If quiet efficiency is any measure of success, “Bill’s” a sure-fire bet. SCOTT. ALLEN “Scotty” Classical “Scotty’s” small size and quiet manner hasn’t detracted from our high opinion of him. Quiet and attentive in class, he’s an avid reader and his marks are well above the average. SCOTT. WILLIAM “Scotty” General Track 1, 2, 3, 4; Cross-Country 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Baseball 3, 4; Intramural 2, 3, 4; Class Secretary-Treasurer 2; Class President 3; Prom Committee 3; Student Council 4. “Scotty” is one of track coach Stetson’s best runners. For four years he has starred as a pace setter for his more flashy teammates. Practically everybody seems to know Scotty; he is perhaps the most popular fellow in the senior class. “Bill” seems to have a bright future in whatever field he enters. THE 1940 Page sixty-two CLASS . SHEEHAN. DAVII) “Dave” Classical Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4. Big and good-natured, “Dave” is another candidate for the honorary position of class redhead. “Red” is a hard worker, and has accomplished an outstanding scholarship record in his four years at Bulkeley. His position in the National Economy leads us to believe that he will star in the “Grocery League” after graduation. Our wholehearted wishes for good luck go with you, “Dave.” SI A. VALERIANO “Val” Classical The Class of ’40 is indeed honored to have as a member Valeriano Sia, who has completed this year a full course of study at Bulkeley. Sia is a member of the Coast Guard, but somehow he finds time to keep up in his studies. He's a hard worker and has earned for himself a scholastic average equal to any in the school. His good nature and friendly spirit commands our approval. SMITH, DONALD “Don” General Although “Don” has no school activities listed this lad lives an eventful life. With his car and pipe, “Don” is in the thick of things around school. He comes late in the morning and leaves early in the afternoon. He is quiet and believes that action speaks louder than words. SPITZ. NATHANIEL “Babe” Classical Football 2, 3, 4; Tennis 1, 2, 3, 4, Co-Captain 4; Eastern Connecticut Doubles Champion 3; Hi-Y 1, 2; Latin Club 1, 2; Secretary 2; Student Council 4; Whaler Assistant 3; Advertising Manager 4; Hockey 3. “Babe” during his four years at Bulkeley has maintained himself with credit and proved himself a success with the fellows as well as in athletic and scholastic work. His unfailing spirit together with his unassuming mannerism, has won for him the friendship and good wishes of the student body. In tennis and football he has shown himself to be a winner. As a member of the Whaler Staff he gave his bit to help make this edition possible. We are sure that he will be as successful later on as he was here. Good luck, Babe. WHALER rage sixty-three THOMSON, ARTHUR SENIOR “Art’ Commercial Class Baseball 2, 4; Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4. “Art” is probably the most cheerful boy in the Senior Class. He came to us from Stonington in our Freshmen year and Stonington’s loss was Bulkeley’s gain. “Art” is a flash on the basketball court and his witty jokes keep the class in good humor. TRAKAS, NICHOLAS “Nicky” General Baseball 3, 4; Class Baseball 1, 2; Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4; Biology Club 2. “Nicky” is a cheerful, hustling fellow; the proud possessor of loyal friends, his hustling actions may be noticed on the diamond where he holds down the “hot corner” on our Conference Championship team. VALAKOS, PETER u Val” Commercial Football 1, 2; Track 1, 2, 3, 4; Cross-Country 4; Intramural Basketball 2, 4. Our acquaintance with “Val” has been somewhat limited, but his close friends can testify as to his worth and merit. He is of a quiet and retiring nature and is respected by us all. We wish him much success. WALL, ROBERT “Bob” Classical Track 4; New Student. “Bob” is new to Bulkeley, but he has already shown himself to us as a real good fellow. He’s one of those quiet fellows who distinguish themselves in one field especially. “Bob’s” is spelling, and he pleasantly surprised us all with his showing in the interclass spelling matches. Alan Lee, worst speller of the senior class, queries, “How do you do it, “Bob”? Page sixty-four THE 1940 CLASS WEATHERBE, GEORGE “George” Classical Band 1, 2, 3; French Club 3; Intramural Basketball 1. When George puts his six feet behind his trombone the band seems to take on new life. His quiet nature outdoes itself in Doctor Philippse’s French Class, where he is a silent but interested spectator. WEBSTER. ROBERT “Bob'’ Classical “Bob” Webster is another of our dramatic stars and has turned in many sterling performances in the Potpourri. His capacity for doing work is unlimited and by his unceasing efforts he has earned our friendship and appreciation. “Bob” is one fellow you can bet will be a success. WILKINS, ERNEST FRANCIS “Ernie” Commercial Cross-Country 1, 2; Intramural Basketball 1, 2; Glee Club. “Ernie” may be recognized by his cheerful smile. No troubles seem to rest on his shoulders. He capably fulfills his duties as Mr. Burgess' right hand man. As a member of the glee club “Ernie” has become famous as one of Bulkeley’s outstanding songsters. WILLIAMS, JOHN “Pretty Boy” General Football 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4; Volleyball 3, 4. “Pretty Boy” better known as “Sweet Williams” has gained fame for both himself and his school on the grid-iron. In his quiet, persistent manner he co-captained a fighting Bulkeley team. Undoubtedly that same determination will aid him in later life. Page sixty-five WHALER SENIOR WOJCOSK I, DANIEL “Danny” Commercial Cross-Country 3; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; French Club 3. “Danny” is one of the quieter fellows around school, so much so that most of the seniors have yet to become acquainted with him. He does his work quietly and effortlessly and can always be depended upon to support any school activity. “Danny” has the real Bulkeley spirit. WOVIOTIS. JAMES “Jimmy” Commercial Track 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Baseball 1, 2; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 2: Dramatic Club 4. Smiling: “Jimmy” Woviotis is an outstanding example of Bulkeley School spirit. “Jimmy’s” wisecracks have kept classes in a constant uproar. He is noteworthy for the pep and earnestness with which he attacks his work, no matter how slight. To hard-working “Jimmy” go all our wishes for success. WYATT, JOHN “John” Commercial John has managed to keep himself out of the spot light about the school, but a chap with such a quiet and sensible nature could not long remain undetected. We are confident that he has a brilliant future as the premiere horticulturist of the Class of 1940, and we give him our best wishes toward success. ZINGUS, SDIRO “Spike” General Track 1, 2, 3, 4; Cross-Country 1, 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Biology Club 2, 3. “Spiro” is one of the standbys on the Cross-Country team; anytime you want him you can find him running up the nearest hill with “Bud”. All work in school, though, is downhill for easy-going Spiro. His hilarious sense of humor sometimes produces straggling results; we envy you for it, Spiro. Page sixty six THE 1940 CLASS ZUKOWSKI, JOHN “Zuke” Commercial “Zuke” is that husky fellow you see being held up by a huge “boiler” and oversized fur mittens. “Zuke's” ability to give the right answers at the right times keeps him well above the average scholastically, and we hear his voice rising above the rest at all the basketball games. He’s a real seeker after knowledge and as such deserves all our praise. IN MEMORIAM WILLIAM R.

We left home with the desire to go swimming or any place whatever, except school. Some of us got off to a good start, the others were put in Mr. Peck’s room. However, we soon learned the do’s and don’ts from a few P. G.’s of the freshman year and everything began to look rosy. Our freshman year we elected Keith Christianson president and John Synodi, secretary-treasurer. Our sophomore year, the peace and quiet was shattered by Mr. Ray Reed’s admonitions, “Learn Those N. B.’s”. When he casually passed out a five and ten in his delightful manner the victims almost thought they were being done a favor. In our second year we were more fully represented in dramatics, sports, and other extra-curricular activities. We elected as class officers, James Gaudet, president and Keith Christianson, vice president. This year we have re-elected James Gaudet and are proceeding along our scholarly path with the usual plomb common to all juniors. Upon meeting Mr. Orcutt we soon became horribly aware of our ignorance, and we are still astonished by our professor’s vast fund of knowledge and wit. Surely the Class of ’41 will endeavor faithfully to carry on the standards and traditions of Bulkeley which are so much a part of our life.

Trying to accustom ourselves to a new alma mater we were terribly excited by Mr. Collins’ major tests and we learned via Mr. Canty that “five and ten’s” have nothing to do with Woolworth’s. As our officers, we selected Edward Birchall, Francis Hoagland, and George Kelly, president, vice president and secretary-treasurer in that order. Getting into the heat of things, we acquired that famous Bulkeley Spirit and began to achieve our ambitions in football, baseball, basketball, as well as the minor sports, and the many other extra-curricular activities of which we freshmen were definitely a part. When Mr. Stetson called for his track volunteers our class immediately contributed runners and we are proud to say that they were some of the fastest. We began our Sophomore year as proud upperclassmen and elected Joseph Murry as president. Today we are able to speak clearly since Mr. Reed has encouraged us to “bite into our words”. Mr. Shay has humorously (?) shown most of these words to have come from the Latin. And due to the extreme efforts of Mr. Hjortland we’ve learned to stop petting since it is bad for the nervous system. We were well represented in this year’s sports and contributed such outstanding players as Bill Downie on the gridiron and Charlie Barry for the basketball court. Our dramatic talent this season was unlimited and included such sterling actors as Matthew Perry, Stanton Sherman, Earl Allen, Ed Birchall, and Francis Hoagland.

As we realized the disparity of the situation, the need for good leadership simultaneously came to our minds. We therefore elected the following officers: President, Thomas Dorsey; Vice President, Nicholas Woviotis; Secretary-Treasurer, Richard Macoby. The scornful glances from the Sophomores on up, only made us work the harder. The “proof of the pudding” was our very fine showing in the Potpourri. The outstanding actors of the Freshman cast were Herbert Smithline and Bernard Elkin. The Class of 1943 can boast a more promising group of athletes than any Freshman class in a number of years. Joseph Gorra and William Kurpiewski are the shining lights on the gridiron and basketball court while Jerome Bronitsky is burning up the track in cross-country. As far as scholastic ability is concerned we are not as dumb as we look (thank the Lord! Ed. note) and we certainly hope our marks will hold up under the severe grinding of Mr. Flood Reed and Mr. Canty. Just before the Thanksgiving holiday, we had our first quarterly examinations. One might humorously think that they were given to us at that time so that we might have something to be thankful for on the holiday—the fact that they were at last completed. But the plot backfired—most everyone worried about his outcome. The Class of 1943 is able, sincere, and devoted to Bulkeley. It should establish an enviable record for achievemnt and school spirit. It has, of course, like all human institutions, a few defects. In spite of all its defects, however, our majestic class will sail on and on, making history for itself and for dear old Bulkeley.

Twelve 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 Lub-chansky, 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. Mr. John K. Balentine was recently appointed faculty manager to work with Mr. Arthur Shurts. This should bring about a self-supporting policy in the operations of Bulkeley’s entire athletic program which consists of the consolidation of all sports under one head. Thomas E.

In conference clashes, the Bengals fared better, breaking even with two wins and two losses. The team started slowly, then caught on to itself in midseason, but hit some bad breaks in the twro final climax sessions with Tech and Norwich. Opening with Hillhouse, the Orange and Black couldn’t work as a team and consequently were worn down by the New Haven team’s weight advantage in the latter stages of the game. Hillhouse scored twice and converted once, while Bulkeley scored once and failed to convert. Bob Leary’s pass to Co-Capt. George Chappell and Frank Henderson’s 85 yd. excursion around end brought the ball to the Hillhouse five yard marker early in the third quarter. Here Leary rang the bell with a slice off tackle. The final score read: Hillhouse 13 and Bulkeley 6. Stonington was next on the slate and the team that shared the conference crown with the Bengals last year proved too much for them at that stage of the season, therefore taking the count, (-0. Bill Downie was the ball-toting star filling in for the injured Henderson. Defensive honors went to Chappell, and Perry on the line and Ballman and Carpenter in the secondary. The Tigers journeyed to Hartford to do battle with Hartford Public High and really found themselves, with the result that they came home with a 7-0 win on the records. Frank Henderson scored the one and only touchdown of the game and Jack Perry made good on the extra point. Bill Downie again looked good in his running back post but he received valuable aid from Henderson, Carpenter and Ballman. Up front on the line it was Chappell, Ray Dondero, King Blake, and Jack Perry who stood out.

Chappell F. Henderson J. Perry K. Blake Co-Capt. Co-Capt. Co-Capt. Elect Up in Willimantic, the passing attack of the Tigers ran Windham into the ground to the tune of 26-0. Co-Capt. George Chappell twice went into Windham pay dirt to take touchdown passes from Leary and Nils Hansen. The combined work of Henderson, Carpenter and Downie brought about the final total. Crosby was next but the weatherman said “no” and so the game was cancelled. Fitch came over next with high hopes of beating Bulkeley but their hopes were rudely shattered when the Tigers walked off the field with a 13-0 win tucked in their hip pocket. Bulkeley’s first touchdown was the direct result of some varied offensive antics on the part of Bob Leary and I' rank Henderson. It was Henderson who went over for the score and Perry converted. The second score was accredited to the alertness of Jimmy Manwaring who followed Perry’s kick-off into the Fitch end zone and fell on it for the score. Before a record crowd at Mercer Field, the Bengals drew first blood on Chapman Tech only to have the Huskies come back with a last half rally and finally win out 12-6. The team fought a hard and spectacular game and deserved a better fate and it was only through an intercepted pass late in the last period that enabled Tech to come through the winner. Bob Leary scored the Bulkeley touchdown from the three yard stripe. Frank Henderson tacked up the longest run of the afternoon when he slipped away for 48 yards. Manwaring, Felix Carlson, Perry, Co-Capt. Jack Williams, Leary, Co-Capt. George Chappell and Henderson were all great players on this afternoon but to single out any special one for honors would be an injustice to the others. «. F. Carlson R. Ball man J. Carpenter H. Sheehan R. Dondero Co-Capt. Elect The 75th classic with Norwich rang down the curtain for 1939. Another capacity crowd stacked Mercer field to see the Rose City powerhouse take the count on the Tigers, 12-0. Two breaks, one a blocked kick and the other an intercepted pass, gave Norwich the two tallies. Henderson played bang-up ball all afternoon and was aided materially in the backfield by his running-mate Bob Leary. On the firing line it was Perry, Carlson, Dondero and Vince Jarvis, who took the cake. The statistics show that Bulkeley tallied 58 points to the opposition’s 46, and were held scoreless in only two games. Representation on the All-Conference team was up to Bulkeley standard with Co-Capt. George Chappell at end, Frank Henderson, who ran beautifully and backed up the forward wall in the same fashion, and John Perry, hard-driving tackle, catching the nod from the All-Conference selectors. The team will lose, by graduation, Co-Capts. Chappell and Williams, Manwaring, Perry, Carlson, and Dondero from the line.

And so as the season started, it remained for the baseball squad to complete the cycle by coming home the sixth winner of the six sports Bulkeley indulges in. The squad played a twelve-game slate which included double victories over Tech, Windham, Fitch, and Stonington, a split decision with Norwich, a victory in the Alumni game and the other loss, a 7-6 one, to Hartford Public High. The net result was ten victories and two losses. After trimming a fancy array of Alumni stars, 13-8, the squad journeyed to Willimantic to open the season in Conference competition against Windham. After a close struggle all the way, Harry Clark poked out a homer to win the game 12-11. Co-Capt. Elect C. Cupello Co-Capt. Elect F. Fluke Back home again, the Tigers teed off on two Fitch pitchers and rapped out nineteen hits in crushing the Tanagers, 18-2. Bob Stokes took home the hitting honors for the day by collecting a pair of doubles and two singles in four trips to the plate. Harry Clark pushed over eight Bulke-ley runs by scoring three times himself and pushing the other five over with his bat. Pat Fiske and Charlie Cupello shared the pitching honors. Stonington came over to Mercer Field next and went home with their ears pinned back, 7-2. Bill Benoit and John Hughes each poled homers while Cupello, Fiske, and Perry did the hurling. By trouncing home-town rival Chapman Tech, 9-3, the Bengals snapped Tech’s three-year winning streak at 27 games. After tallying six times in a hectic first inning, the Tigers, with Pat Fiske whiffing eight, just coasted in to the victory. Charlie Cupello blanked Norwich the next week, spinning a three hit masterpiece and extending his string of consecutive scoreless innings to nineteen. The bats of Clyde Solt and Alex Maskalik spoke often and loud in this battle which was the Tiger’s fourth Conference win and sixth straight victory. Fitch almost upset the apple cart by extending Bulkeley all the way but the Tigers finally pulled through with a 3-2 verdict. Fitch must have been the handwriting on the wall for the Tigers because the following Saturday the Wildcats of Norwich bobbed up with a 4-1 win over our previously unbeaten Bulkeleyites. Chet Snukowski, the Wildcat’s ace, was master all the way and the Bengals’ batting slump, which was born in the Fitch encounter, was very much in evidence, as the Norwich hurler struck out nine batters. J. Hughes C. Solt N. Trakas J. Perry A. Maskalik Next the Tigers went over to visit Stonington and came back with an 8-1 victory tucked in their hip pockets. Charlie Cupello chalked up his fourth win by allowing the Bears six scattered hits. The squad continued to stay on the road for their next game with Hartford Public High which the Capitol City team copped by a 7-6 count. The game was primarily a tune-up for the two remaining crucial games with Tech and Windham. It took the Tigers 11 hectic innings to take the count on Tech’s Huskies, 11-8, in a battle that was anybody’s ball game until the Tech defense collapsed entirely in the final frame. The score had been sewed up at 8 all when a combination of hits by Capt. Ray Corey, Clyde Solt, Bill Benoit, Joe Podzaline, and a free ticket to Alex Maskalik presented the ball game to Bulkeley. Bill Benoit’s sacrifice fly to right in the tenth inning which shoved Clyde Solt home, enabled Bulkeley to clinch the Conference Crown and defeat Windham, 5-4, in the final game of the season. It was nothing new for Benoit for it was he who broke up the memorable eighteen inning affair with Norwich the preceding year with just such a poke. Charlie Cupello established himself as the No. 1 hurler in the league and one of the greatest in Bulkeley history by winning his sixth game in as many starts. Alex Maskalik took the batting honors for the year with a .426 average and led the team in the runs batted in department with sixteen to his credit. Harry Clark had a monopoly on the base paths, pilfering nine sacks. All Conference honors went to Cupello, Clark, and Maskalik. Lettermen were: Captain Ray Corey, Charles Cupello, Floyd Fiske, Alex Maskalik, Joseph Podzaline, Harry Clark, Nicholas Trakas, Bill Benoit, Robert Stokes, Clyde Solt, James Manwaring, and John Hughes.

They were Eastern Connecticut Conference Champions and a runner up in the State Championship Tournament. Bulkeley opened the season with a 48-29 victory over N. L. Business College. Skrigan and Epps starred for the Tigers by scoring 12 points each. Against a crack Alumni combination Bulkeley showed its ability by beating them 51-37. Skrigan became the outstanding star of the game by tallying 26 points. The home team almost hung up a record in its third basketball game of the season when the Tigers held Saybrook to a zero score until the last few minutes of play when a pair of fouls forced them to settle with a 51-2 win. Putnam Trade’s wings were clipped by a 46-29 score as Skrigan and Perry starred for the Tigers sinking 18 and 13 points respectively. The Tigers then conquered Norwich 45-27 as Skrigan starred again scoring 17 points. Skrigan Clark Podzaline Epps Perry Traveling along on the road of glory, the Bengals’ 51 points to 40, took the much talked of Windham. Perry tallied 15 points setting himself up as high scorer, while Skrigan followed behind with 13 points, in undoubtedly the most exciting game of the season. The Bulkeley five trounced Fitch 60-25 for their seventh straight win of the season. Shattering the three year Bridgeport jinx Bulkeley triumphed over Bassick 39-30. Skrigan starred for the Tigers by chalking up 12 points. Weaver High of Hartford broke up Bul-keley’s eight game winning streak by stopping the Tigers 38-33. Bulkeley played without the services of Joe Podzaline, defensive guard who was on the sidelines be-Capt. P. Skrigan cause of a very bad cold. The Tigers came from behind in the second half to defeat Tech 41-36, in a thrilling performance. Skrigan led the Tigers with 19 points. Trouncing Fitch 61-31 the home team brought home the bacon. Clark paced the attack, tallying 19 points. Our heroes chalked up their 11th victory of the season by trouncing New Haven Commercial 41-24. Paul Skrigan was again the Tiger mainstay with 15 points while Joe Epps was runner-up with 14 points. Bulkeley topped Windham 42-34 as Harry Clark again paced the Tigers with 7 deuces. J. Podzaline H. Clark J. Dorsey The Tigers whipped Norwich 45-25 for their 6th straight Conference victory. Clark stood out for the Tigers, dropping in 14 points. The Orange and Black routed Chapman Tech 49-24 to clinch the Conference Championship. The Bulkeley triumph marked the first time the Tigers ever won the Conference title outright. Harry Clark with his 14 points led the Tigers, while Skrigan and Epps followed close behind. The Tiger quintet entered the State Tournament and won their first game overpowering Warren Harding 47-36. Clark, Skrigan and Epps tallied 13 points each. Jack Perry, Bulkeley’s star guard also turned in a creditable performance. Bulkeley was eliminated from the State Tournament by Bridgeport Central 41-33. Harry Clark was the outstanding performer on the Tiger team as he dropped in 10 points. Jack Perry, a vai'sity guard who won All Conference honors, was elected to succeed Paul Skrigan as Captain of this year’s crack five. Members of the Bulkeley basketball team received bronze keys in recognition of their creditable play in the Connecticut Interscholastic Class A basketball tournament. Skrigan led the Bulkeley scorers with 237 points and Conference scoring with 114 points. Bulkeley placed three men on the All Conference team: Skrigan, Perry and Epps.

It was a team that counted victories in dual meets over Norwich, Hartford Public High and Billard, finished a point behind Hill-house for second in the State Indoor meet at Wesleyan, and tied with Hill-house for second in the State Outdoor meet. It is significant to note that the Tigers had beaten the winner of this meet, Hartford Public High, in dual competition earlier in the season. As far as state-wide recognition was concerned, the Bengals occupied second place among Class A outfits in Connecticut. The 1939 edition was a team that was sparked with a tremendous kick supplied by such winners as Skrigan, Bud Farrar, Bob Leary and the surprising Freshman discovery, Dick Knie. Paul Skrigan carved his name on the plaque with other Bulkeley track greats like Johnny Priolo, Ivar Pearson, Dorn Zito, and Ed Buxton, as he turned seemingly close meets into routs with his astounding performances. “The bronzed giant”, as one Hartford paper referred to him, established himself as one of the greatest “one-man track teams” to come out of Eastern Connecticut in recent years. In the Indoor Meet, he won the two events he was entered in, setting a new record in the broad jump and winning the high jump. Against N. F. A., he racked up 25 points, copping firsts in the 220, the broad jump, high jump, and pole vault. Probably the greatest individual performance by a Connecticut school boy was rung up by Paul when he single-handedly accounted for 35 of his teams’ 53V| points in the meet with Hartford. The Bulkeley ace was the No. 1 man in five events, tied for first in another, and took two seconds as he left spectators spellbound with his work.

Page one hundred six The spotlight must be thrown upon two other teammates who played strong supporting roles to Skrigan and who will return again this year. One of these is our stellar miler, Bud Farrar. Bud did not confine his activities to the mile alone during the past season, but took time out to win half mile races as well. Running in the Indoor Meet at Wesleyan, Farrar came across the line in second place in the Kilometer event. Bud followed this performance with victories in the mile and half-mile against N. F. A. and continued his winning streak in the next meet with Hartford by placing first in the same two distances. For three years Bud has been the outstanding miler in this section and big things are expected of him in this, his senior year. The other spotlight-grabber is Bob Leary who belongs in the “Big Three” with Skrigan and Farrar. Leary competed in anything from the 100-yard yard hurdles to the 600-yard dash and showed his heels to some of the top flight middle-distance men in the Conference. Participating in the State Indoor Meet, Bob grabbed first place in the 600 in near record time. He collected ten points in the Norwich meet by winning both the quarter mile and the one hundred yard low hurdles. This year, as a Senior, Bob is being counted on to help pace the team to another title. Coach Joseph K. Stetson has high hopes for his promising crew of underclassmen who performed in a veteran-like manner last year. Numbered among these are Dick Knie, Jimmy DeWolfe, Jerome Bronitsky, and Carmello Villani, who all proved their mettle under fire during the last campaign. Varsity letters were awarded to the following men: Co-Captains Paul Skrigan and Paul Gerity, Bud Farrar, Bob Leary, Dick Knie, Bill Scott, Ralph Good, Jimmy DeWolfe, Sigfried Pearson, Spiro Zingus, Carmello Villani, Harold Sheehan, Loren Kohrs, Anthony Wassetta, and Manager John MacDonald. Bud Farrar was elected captain of the 1940 team. Manager J. MacDonald R. Leary C. Farrar W. Scott Capt. P.

Bulkeley opened its season against New Britain in dire need of practice, being defeated 5-1. Nathaniel Spitz saved the team from a shutout. Before hitting their stride the Tiger netmen bowed to Middletown 5-2, Hillhouse 7-2, and Middletown again 4-1. George Wargo attracted state wide attention by defeating Philip Miles, junior state champion of Hill-house 6-2, 6-4. The team jumped into the win column by defeating a favored Norwich team, 4-3. With the score tied at 3-3 Nathaniel Spitz and Jack Mul-cahy became the Bulkeley heroes by pulling out their doubles match one set and two games behind to defeat their opponents. Encountering Norwich again at home the Bengals took a commanding lead in the Conference by once again turning back Norwich. Coach John Gagnon revised his lineup for this meet. Spitz moved into the number two position and came through with a fine victory. Mulcahy also played well. Chapman Tech was the next team to wither under the Bulkeley racquets. Once again it was the doubles team of Mulcahy and Spitz that captured the winning point for the Bengals with the meet tied at 3-3. Speeding on the wings of victory Bulkeley turned back Windham 7-0, Jim Cantrell taking 12 straight games. Closing with a victory over Tech, Coach John Gagnon set about to point his boys for the Conference meet. Through the efforts of Nathaniel Spitz and Jack Mulcahy, who teamed to win the Conference doubles without the loss of a set and George Wargo who bowed to Silverman in the finals, the team compiled a majority of points to win the Conference Championship, a further demonstration of their power. In the state tournament the doubles team of Wargo and Cantrell reached the finals and Mulcahy the quarter finals. At the close of the season Cantrell and Spitz were elected co-captains.

Page one hundred nine CROSS-COU NTR Y EASTERN CONNECTICUT CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS 19 3 9 For the fourth successive year Bulkeley’s cross-country team went undefeated. The season was started with a victory over Stonington, followed by a triumph over Hillhouse, and Norwich was beaten by a perfect score. Bulkeley won the conference meet for the fourth successive year as Bud Farrar took individual honors. A new individual record was set 18 seconds under the old one, and the team compiled the lowest score in conference history. The future of the cross-country team in Bulkeley looks as good as ever although Bud Farrar has concluded his career having been beaten out of first place only twice in four years. COACH JOSEPH STETSON Letter men this year: Captain Farrar, Jerome Bronitsky, Sigfried Pearson, John McCarthy, Spiro Zingus, Joseph Bunkley, Fred Howard, John Heinson, William Rockholtz, Peter Valakos and Manager O’Berne.

While attempting to keep its readers informed of the many and varied school activities, it also serves as a record of the school year. It provides excellent experience for journalistic minded boys especially in the opportunity it affords for interpreting and for moulding student opinion. In the fall a change in faculty advisors took place, John K. Balentine, founder of the paper five years ago, turned over his duties to George H. Jenkins, following his appointment to the new post of faculty manager of athletics. The new regime will endeavor to maintain the high standards set under Mr. Balentine’s able direction. A banquet for the entire staff is held in February at which each retiring Senior is awarded a key. This year’s retiring editors include Richard Ballman, Editor-in-Chief; John Carpenter, News Editor; John Cullen, Sports Editor; and Harold Abrams, Business Manager; Senior Reporter, Morton Baratz. The Bengal Weekly Staff for 1940-41 consists of James Marooney and Joseph Dolin, Co-Editors-in-Chief; James Gaudet, News Editor; Daniel Crowley and Matthew Perry, Associate Editors; David Reynolds, Art Editor; Melvin Krasnow, Business Manager; and James Lawrence, typist. THE WHALER Page one hundred fourteen STUDENT COUNCIL One of the newer institutions at Bulkeley, and one which is rapidly taking its place in school life, is the Student Council. Already it has expressed its value in several ways. In the spring of 1939, a Constitutional Committee was appointed to draw up a Constitution for the body, and in the fall they submitted their work. One of the actions of the Council wras to submit this Constitution to the student body for modification and approval. The election of members was accomplished through the school. One representative was elected from each home room, and several faculty appointments were made. At the first meeting of the Council, Richard Ballman was elected President, Robert Leary Vice President, and Francis Cullen Secretary. The Council has already demonstrated its ability in work around the school. Perhaps its most important job was the handling of the Intramural Leagues. In this and in other ways the Council has shown its value, and established itself as an important Bulkeley custom, one that may certainly contribute to Bulkeley tradition and honor. THE WHALER Page one hundred fifteen GLEE CLUB This year through the untiring efforts of Mr. Howard T. Pierce, a selected group of boys has been chosen to engage in serious vocal work. Early in the school year the Glee Club took part in various assembly programs, and during the Christmas season they sang carols in a special Christmas program. This group has been rehearsing regularly, and arrangements were made for some of the members to accompany the members of the band and orchestra to the New England Music Festival, held at Provincetown, Massachusetts, from April 17th to 20th. The Glee Club now has a membership of forty voices, and it is expected that they will make appearances in connection with various musical programs in New London. From the serious interest that the boys are taking in this organization it is assured that the Bulkeley Glee Club will become an outstanding organization of male voices in eastern Connecticut. DRAMA CLUB The Bulkeley Dramatic Club was organized this year by Arthur L. Hjortland, Ray T. Reed, and Joe Dolin in order to present an opportunity for stage-minded students to exhibit and grow proficient in their dramatic ability. The first action of the club was to elect officers and form a constitution. Joe Dolin was elected president, Arthur Graham secretary, and Mr. Hjortland and Mr. Reed faculty advisors. “Submerged”, the first production, showed much promise and “Journey’s End”, now in preparation, promises to set an extraordinary precedent. H I - Y The Hi-Y club continued actively this year under the direction of John K. Balentine of the faculty. The group had weekly meetings at the Y. M. C. A. at which speakers were presented and informal discussion periods held. The principal activities of the club were social, however, several informal dances were held during the year. —, Officers elected for the first half-year were: John Dorsey, President; Anthony Mosely, Vice President; Robert Burgess, Secretary; Charles Maclnnes, Treasurer, and James Gaudet, Sergeant-at-Arms. THE WHALER Page one hundred sixteen GLEE CLUB DRAMATIC CLUB HI-Y CLUB THE WHALER Page one hundred seventeen FRENCH CLUB The Bulkeley French Club resumed its activities this year in the early part of November under the faculty supervision of Doctor Philippse and Mr. Gagnon. In the next few meetings the club, consisting of about forty members, elected officers and a program committee. The outstanding social event of the year was the Christmas party which was held by the Latin and French Clubs combined. The officers of the 1930-40 school year were: President, James Ma-rooney; Vice President, Lyman Watrous; Secretary and Treasurer, Donald Thompson. L A TIN CLUB The Bulkeley Latin Club, headed since 1936 by Henry Shay of the Latin department, reached the height of its success during the year 1938-39. The various programs as arranged by Mr. Shay attempted to show the importance of “Latin in Every Day Life”. The speakers during the year and their subjects were: Dr. Philippse —Latin Influence on French; Frank Hamlen—Latin Influence in English; Arthur Hjortland—Latin in Science; John Troland—The Curriculum of a Turkish College; Attorney Francis McGuire—Latin in Law; Dean Irene Nye of Conecticut College—Latin and Greek Humor; Philip Pasquale—Roman Government; Mr. Arthur Fenney of New Haven Pharmaceutical College—Latin in Pharmacy; Two W. M. I. girls—The W. M. I. Latin Club. At Christmas time a get-together was sponsored with the French Club and the Bengal Weekly. Mr. Fred Stone of Weaver High School, Hartford was the guest of the clubs and responded with movies of the Olympic Games of 1936 and additional reels of travel in the United States. The present season of the club was inaugurated in November with the election of officers and a paper read by Mr. Shay entitled, “Latin— The Living Language”. This paper was a resume of a report published by Columbia University proving that Latin is far from being dead, as people are very likely to believe. In addition to a lecture delivered by Dr. Philippse, entitled “The Origin and Development of Languages”, a second Christmas party was sponsored jointly with the French and Biology Clubs. Mr. Arthur Brown, magician, was the featured guest of the evening, after which movies of the Coast Guard were shown by Lieut. John Merriman. The officers of the club for the present season are as follows: President, Rosario Gigliotti, 1940; Vice President, Hubert Neil-an, 1941; Secretary-Treasurer, Henry Bove, 1942. BIOLOGY CLUB The Biology Club has done much this year to further its reputation as one of the school’s most active clubs. Several talks were presented during the year by various outstanding local physicians and lecturers, and the members attended lectures at the Coast Guard Academy. At the first meeting of the club, Richard Ballman was elected President, Hubert Neilan Vice President, Charles Hibbard Secretary, and Anthony Nasseta Treasurer. Page one hundred eighteen FRENCH CLUB LATIN CLUB BIOLOGY CLUB THE WHALER Page one hundred nineteen JUNIOR WHALER ASSISTANTS This year the Junior Whaler Assistants turned in perhaps the best work of any group ever to serve in that capacity. The tasks of the juniors include procuring advertisements, helping with circulation and so forth. Those showing the most enthusiasm in this work are given positions on the following year’s Whaler staff. ROOM CAPTAINS In order to facilitate payments on the Whaler for underclassmen, the well known installment plan is utilized. One boy from each home room is chosen to serve as collector and in turn he is responsible to the senior circulation managers. The boys are selected on a basis of honesty, initiative, and ability to carry his room behind him, and such a fine job was done this year that we owe the boys our congratulations. THE STAMP CLUB The Bulkeley Stamp Club, a new organization at the school, was founded by Mr. George H. Jenkins, a new-comer to the faculty. The officers elected for the first half year were: President, John Kashanski; Vice President, Theodore Downing; Secretary, Leon Calan-quin; Treasurer, Louis Katz. The work of the club for the first half year was elementary, with the members discussing new stamp issues and planning get-togethers for the future. THE WHALER Page one hundred twenty WHALER JUNIOR ASSISTANTS WHALER ROOM CAPTAINS STAMP CLUB THE WHALER Page one hundred twenty-one MUSIC Howard T. Pierce BAND ACTIVITIES For twelve years the Bulkeley Band has been one of the most important organizations in Bulkeley, always winning its share of honors for the school. Its director, Mr. Howard T. Pierce, has proven his ability as a band director by being elected as the President of the New England Music Festival Association, an organization that has, during the past few years, been well represented by Bulkeley musicians. This association held a concert last year in Boston and this year the locale will be Prov-incetown, Cape Cod. Last May the Bulkeley Band made a very fine showing in the New England Festival, held at Worcester and also an equally commendable appearance at the Connecticut Festival at Greenwich. On March 8, the band gave a concert in the memory of John P. Sousa, and in May attended The New England Festival at Lawrence, Mass. Page one hundred twenty-two ORCHESTRA Seventeen years have seen the Bulkeley-W. M. I. Orchestra recognized as one of the most outstanding musical organizations both at Bul-keley and in New England. Organized and directed by Howard T. Pierce, it has attended, last year, in addition to New England Musical Festival held at Worcester, the Connecticut Music Festival held at Greenwich, Connecticut. The orchestra maintains a busy winter schedule which includes its presence at several theatrical performances. This year the orchestra will participate in the All-New England Music Festival at Provincetown, for selected members only, and the New England Music Festival at Lawrence, Massachusetts. We hope that at both of these festivals it will continue the high-standard quality which it has attained through all the preceding years. Mr. Pierce was recently honored by being elected president of the New England Music Festival. His work in the field of music among high school musicians and choral groups is recognized as being unexcelled.

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, Journalism, Banking and Finance, Public Administration, Industrial Administration or Marketing and Advertising.

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.

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