EDWARD BIRCHALL—EDITOR-IN-CHIEF ANGELO DEMARCO—BUSINESS MANAGER VOLUME XIX A TRI BUTE TO OUR FIGHTING FORCES ycAP bccr Cf ELLrCLCy ICIiCCL NEW LCNDCN, CONNECTICUT THE 1942 f t “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” The Declaration of Independence ▲ ▲ ▲ “Soldiers, American soldiers, will despise the meanness of repining at such trifling strokes of adversity. Trifling indeed when compared with the transcendent prize which will undoubtedly crown their patience and perseverance, glory and freedom, peace and plenty to themselves and community—the admiration of the world, the love of their country and the gratitude of posterity.” Washington, Speech to Soldiers at Valley Forge, March 1, 1778 DEDICATION T � 0 Walter Arthur Peck, who for twelve years has given the whole of his heart in promoting all that stands for Bulkeley .... Bulkeley School—The Staff of the Whaler—and the Class of 1942 affectionately dedicate this fourteenth edition of the Whaler. We believe that we voice the sentiment of his present and former students when we wish “Big Boy” long life, health and happiness, and we express our deepest gratitude for his devoted service, and above all his leadership and friendship of Freshmen is most exemplary. RECOGNITION T X HE “Whaler” is pleased to be a medium for expressing the high esteem in which Dr. Katharine Blunt,, retiring president of Connecticut College, has been held by all faculty members and students at Bulkeley School during the thirteen years of her administration. The influence of Dr. Blunt’s genius for organization and of her vision in extending the training of young women for professional fields or for new spheres of activity, may be regarded as a national benefaction. Dr. Katharine Blunt’s cordial manner, reflecting her goodwill, her zeal for promoting the social welfare or forward movement of an institution or a civic group, have endeared her to young folks and old alike, here in New London. Dr. Blunt has chosen to make New London her home. The entire community rejoices that these relationships are to continue. We wish her a long and happy life revealing as always the generous cooperative spirit and the voice of a friend. FOREWORD This fourteenth edition of the Bulkeley Whaler attempts to combine the intimacy of the school life of Bulkeley and at the same time bring out the many aspects of its personalities in an epitomized review of a year at Bulkeley .... Our school has grown in enrichment and achievement until a year of its life can hardly be encompassed by the covers of a book, but through a panorama of persons, places, and events this volume has hoped to capture the soul and spirit of Bulkeley as well as to add a chapter to its history .... “Oh! thus be it ever when freemen shall stand Between their lov’d home and the war’s desolation, Blest with vict’ry and peace, may the Heav’n rescued land Praise the Pow’r that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto, ‘In God is our trust’.” Star Spangled Banner AAA W H A DANIEL CROWLEY Biographical Editor JOHN MALOOF Biographical Editor FREDERICK HOWARD Associate Editor HENRY BOVE Literary Editor ALFRED JOHNSEN Photography Editor L E R STAFF 111 ANGELO DE MARCO Business Manager WILLIAM HENDERSON Associate Business Manager HARRIS KAPLAN Circulation Manager FRANCIS STADNICK Correspondence Secretary ROBERT RUTMAN Circulation Manager DANIEL HARSHOWITZ Circulation Manager PHILIP B.

History repeats, and when the present class of 1942 graduates our country will have been engaged in the second world conflict only a few months. The sudden changing of a country at peace to a country at war, was clearly reflected in the feelings and outlook of the twenty-two who received diplomas from Bulkeley in 1917. Four members of the class enlisted the day war was declared; two of whom were called out for service before graduation, but received diplomas by vote of the Board of Trustees. Later seven others enlisted in the armed services; thus fifty percent of our class saw service in the army or navy during World War number one. Although the class of ’17 was one of the smallest to graduate in a number of years, it nevertheless held its own in all school activities, and many members were prominent in track and football. Bulkeley then boasted no gymnasium or football field. Track events were held in the Armory and practice took place in the Y. M. C. A. Football practice and games were held in Plant Field. Our class was the last one to use the field while it was enclosed with a high board fence and contained a grand stand. The following year this fence was torn down and sold for second-hand lumber. Seven of our class graduated from college. If it had not been for the war, this number would have greatly increased. Among the graduates of the class of ’17, some are lawyers, some in the real estate business; some are now in National Defense work. Others are working for the Government; in Municipal Public Safety; in manufacturing; insurance; railroad; newspaper work, and various other fields too numerous to mention. All of them look back to their four years in Bulkeley with gratitude, for the experience and knowledge gained there; for the patience and ability of their teachers; for the leadership of our beloved principal, Walter A. Towne; and for the fine spirit which will ever be Bulkeley’s. By Waldo L. Miner BULKELEY 25 YEARS AGO Louis J. Boper Edward F. Boyle Wesley B. Bradshaw John J. Connors Lloyd W. Denison Henry T.

It is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips, and supple knees: it is a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions, a freshness of the deep springs of life. YOUTH means courage perpetually master over timidity; YOUTH means zest for adventure incessantly victorious over love of ease. These attributes of youth often exist in a man or woman of fifty, or sixty, or seventy, more than in a boy or girl of ten or twenty. Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years; one grows old only by abandoning his ideals. Years wrinkle the skin, but enthusiasm renounced wrinkles the soul. Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear, and despair— these are the long years that bow the head and turn the flesh and spirit back to dust. Whether seventy or seventeen, everyone has in his heart the wonder, the sweet amazement at the stars and star-like things; he has there the reverence for the majesty of the mountains; the surges of the sea, the complexity of the cosmos; he has there the sense of charm manifest in towering trees, and the revelation of divinity perceptible in a baby’s smile; he has there the undaunted challenge of events—all these he has linked to an unfailing, child-like hunger for the unexpected, and to an abounding joy in the game of life. We are as old as our unbelief, as young as our faith; as old as our doubt, as young as our confidence; as old as our fear, as young as our boldness; as old as our despair, as young as our hope; as old as our irreverence, as young as our devotion. In every human heart—yours and mine—is a heart of hearts—a sanctum sanctorum, in whose archives we cherish the records of the richness and the fullness of life experiences. So long as it is stored with messages of beauty, of hope, of cheer, of courage, of grandeur, and of power—from men and women, from kings and slaves, from Nature in her manifold revelations, from the Infinite God—so long shall you and I be YOUNG! Copyrighted December 27. 1941 F. W. Edgerton, Class 1898 CLASS HISTORY 1942 We, the class of 1942, ax-e now seniors preparing to bid adieu to our happy carefree high school days. It seems only yesterday that we entered this institution. How well we remember the disastrous hurricane which swept over New London and forced the closure of school for over two weeks. After that, despite the scornful glances of the upperclassmen, we started out to make a name for ourselves. We elected to lead us: Edward Birchall, President; George Kelley, Vice President; and Francis Hoagland, Secretary-treasurer. We survived Mr. Peck’s verbal barrage and Mr. Collin’s major tests and soon found ourselves to be “mighty” sophomores. We elected as our officers Joseph Murray, President; Edward Birchall, Vice President; and Robert Freudenstein as secretary-treasurer. That year Ray Read taught us how to pronounce and enounce the English language and Mr. Shay entertained us with his jokes. After becoming Juniors, we thought we knew it all until we ran into Mr. Orcutt whose fund of knowledge amazed us. And now we have reached the acme of our high school career. In our midst we discovered we had the greatest football team in the school’s history which went through an undefeated season and brought the State Championship home to Bulkeley. The day is ever drawing nearer on which we, with fond regrets, will depart from Bulkeley School to enter the human tide of life. On that day we will no longer be called upon to uphold only the traditions of Bulkeley School, but we will also take our place in preserving the ideals of American democracy. Page thirty-four CLASS OFFICERS JOSEPH MURRAY President JOSEPH FLANNERY Vice President EDWARD BIRCHALL Secretary JAMES BEEBE Treasurer SENIORS Page thirty-five CLASS PROPHECY It was 1962 and I was quietly fishing with Harrington off New York waters, when suddenly a geyser of water toppled the boat over. It was caused by Captain Sears’ Coast Guard Cutter. He was in a hurry so he tossed me a life preserver. Soon a large seaplane landed beside me and Lieutenant Amanti waved from the control cabin and the “News” photographer Alfred Johnsen started taking pictures. Commentator “Stan” Sherman offered the disaster to the radio world. I asked Nassetta, the radio operator, to pull me out of the water. They took me to New London where I stopped at Bucko’s Brewery. Feeling hungry, all of us left for the Carey-Cafe, owned by Connie Johnson because Bill owed him so many nickels. At another table, Velles was trying to convince Maloof that, with his bananas and John’s Ice Cream, they’d be a big success. Smeraldi asked if we wanted the coffee strong or should he take the dishes out. I bought a “Day” paper from Harshowitz’s stand. Perry was editor. Kosakow was in charge of the presses. The headlines told of Senator Lougee’s triumph over Roosevelt for the Presidency. The social column told that Professor Hall was visiting his parents. Police Captain Sheedy reported that Hillsberg was warned to keep away from the women or he’d bring him before Judge Art Crowley. Bessette wrote a nice article on the Yankee outfielder, Jim Beebe, in the sports section. Manager Young of the Capital theater gave me a free ticket to hear the Philharmonic cornet player, Hoagland. Allen was in a co-hit attraction playing opposite Lana Turner. Genaros and Aimetti sat awed at his acting. Kiely was swiping some “milk duds” from the candy counter. Graham Hoagland closed his eyes during the love scenes. I left the show and Roy Weed gave me a ride in his trailer truck. We ran into Birchall and bounced into Freudenstein’s Bowling Alley on Bank Street. Ambulance driver Cross came tearing along. Cross took Ed to the hospital. Bay was there with laryngitis. Bulkeley had beaten Tech in football 60-0. Visitors Bitters, Howard, and Downie were flirting with the nurses. That night I went to Bolczak’s Dance Hall. Flannery and Farina were playing “rummy” in the corner. Voight was the “rummy”. I left early to visit Shragowitz’s S. S. Laboratory. Wyatt and Dunham were looking for their cats. LaCroix was in the corner analyzing a liquid. Dr. Douglas told him to use the taste test. Professor Bove told him three tests were sufficient. Passersby Abbiati and Chappell carried happy LaCroix home. The next morning I visited the Town of World Famous Men built by Engineer Keith Johnson. Pearson and Bauer were at rest there. They were the janitors. June was lecturing to the visitors on how the world appreciates hard workers. Kaplan applauded vigorously. Dr. Murray was looking a pretty girl in the eye. He insisted that there was dust in it, caused by Knie running an 8 second hundred yard dash. There was a circus in the distance. Gorra picked me up in his fruit truck. He looked exhausted from a business deal with the A. P. manager, Barrows. I thought DeMarco was the strong man there. Smith said he was only balancing the books. “Wild-man” Chelf kept an eye on him. Gottstein was showing his mathematics class the “Streets of Paris”. Cover couldn’t understand what that had to do with figures. Hoagland was the barker. Leader and Roseman had just made dates. Nahas and Perkins were the fiist ones in. Meloney got “see-sick” looking at all the babes. 1 saw Rutman sneaking under the tent. Gateman Kavelaar set chase. Davis was riding horses “bareback”. Henderson and his “bones” had Walt’s shirt. Southworth was riding on the merry-go-round. I went back to the Hotel Lord. I greeted doorman Santangelo. Roth handed me my keys. Physics instructor Dan Crowley was my next door neighbor. He was instructing Peabody to use milk of magnesia. The incident reminded me of Keeney and John Sherman. Thev never did anything on time either. Walker was the house detective. “Dagwood” Carey was in charge of the kitchen. O’Connell was trying to sell him some magnesium pits. Reporter Kelly was covering a broadcast there by socialite Santaniello. Man-about-town Rorick was thinking some excuse for toasts. Ashcraft was looking for butter. O’Donnell and Weeks were holding up the bank across the street while Bank President Stadnick looked for elevator man Caldwell. What a crazy prophecy you say. crazier than a prophecy? Well, in this world of today what could be Le Fin! THE WHALER Page thirty six SENIOR CLASS ABBIATTI. GEORGE “Abbie” Commercial Softball 2; Volleyball 2; Stamp Club 3, 4; Biology Club 2. George is always good for a laugh and helps to keep school life from becoming too monotonous. He is one of our unknown qualities. He made a name for himself in Mr. Orcutts’s English class during his Junior year. AIMETTI, ARTHUR “Art” General Class Sports 4; Intramural Sports 3, 4; Biology 2; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Stage Crew 3; Hi-Y 4. “Art” is one of our class wits. He’s usually clowning or cutting up and manages to keep those near him in good spirits. Along with Genaros, his sidekick, he has gained fame as a chef. “Art’s” unfailing good humor will make life merry for him. “Art” expects to become a campus cut-up in the fall. ALLEN, EARL “Earl College Intramural Sports 1, 2, 4; Potpourri 2; Masque and Gavel 3, 4; Latin Club 1, 2; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Junior’s Play. Earl has a great scholastic record behind him, and is one of Bulkeley’s actors. Always ready to support a school program, he displays the kind of spirit we wholeheartedly have manifested. Girls, meet our Robert Taylor or our “Yank” goes to Oxford. AMANTI, JOSEPH “Joe” College Baseball 3, 4; Basketball 1; Class Sports 1, 2, 3, 4; Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3, 4; Latin Club; Latin Prize 2; Student Council 4. “Joe” has proved that a good athlete can also be a good student. As a member of the baseball nine he is another flash. “Joe” has won the esteem of all those who know him. He is quiet and gentlemanly at all times. 19 4 2 Page thirty seven SENIOR BARROWS, EDWARD “Ed” College Basketball 2, 4; Class Sports 3, 4; Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 3, 4. “Ed” is one of Mrs. “Mac’s” cafeteria food dispensers who believes in giving service with a smile. His smile and technique should get him places. BAUER. EDWARD “Ed” General Class Sports 1, 2, 3, 4; Intramural Sports 2, 3, 4. From first appearances “Ed” looks like the bashful type, but don’t let that deceive you. “Ed” is one of the Quaker Hill trio who are out for a good time wherever they can find it. His greatest asset is his sincerity with the fellows and teachers. Good luck to you, “Ed”. BAY, WILLIAM “Bay” College Baseball 4; Basketball 4; Class Sports 4; Intramural Sports 4; Cheer Leader 4. “Bay” is new at Bulkeley, but already has shown his worth in school activities. His participation as one of the cheer leaders gives absolute proof that he is behind Bulkeley. His wide grin wins many a girl’s heart and tends to invite many friends. BEEBE, JAMES “Jim' College Baseball 2, 3, 4; Intramural Spoits 2, 3, 4; Class Officers 4; Hi-Y 4. “Jim” still believes that Cleveland has a chance to win the pennant. Besides defending the Indians, he holds down the third sack on the varsity nine. His hitting ability should prove to be a great asset on this year's team. We believe that “Jim” has a great future lying ahead of him. THE WHALER Page thirty-eigh t BESSETTE, DONALD Don” Commercial Basketball 3, 4; Class Sports 3, 4; Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3, 4; Band 1, 2, 3, 4. “Don” is one of the reasons why W. M. I. girls write to lovelorn columns. It must be his quiet manner that attracts them. That shadow just behind him is Bolczak. Bessette’s quiet manner is an asset to have in getting things done. BIRCHALL. EDWARD “Ed” College Football 1, 2; Intramural Sports 2, 4; Class Officers 1, 2, 3, 4; Potpourri 2; Minstrel 2, 3, 4; Latin Club 1, 2; Speaking Club 3; Masque and Gavel 3, 4; Whaler Activities 3; Editor-in-Chief 4; Student Council 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 3, 4. “Ed” is the roly poly member of our senior class. His cheerful smile and splendid personality have made him one of the most popular fellows in Bulkeley. He will be recognized in years to come as one of Bulkelev’s main supports. He has the right shape for a foundation stone. BITTERS, JOHN Jack” General Baseball 2, 3, 4; Basketball 3, 4; Class Sports 1; Intramural Sports 1, 2. “Jack” is a carefree good natured fellow who saves his serious side for athletics. He is a steady patron of Rudd’s Jam sessions. Basketball and baseball manage to keep him busy. Watch him on this year’s baseball team. BOLCZAK, WALLACE “Wally” Commercial Freshman basketball; Basketball 3; Tennis 1, 2; Class Sports 3, 4; Swimming 1; Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3, 4; Student Council 2. He is the top man of the commercial division. “Wally” can always be seen from a distance because of the loud manner in which he dresses. “Wally” is more than just Bessette’s Siamese twin. He is the main cog on Room 15’s basketball team. SENIOR BOYK. HENRY “Bove” College Intramural Sports 3, 4; French Club 1, 2; Latin Club 2; Stamp Club 2: Latin Prize 1, 2; Jordan Prize; Sophomore Geometry Prize; Junior Mathematics Prize; U. S History Prize; Junior French Prize; Harvard Alumni Prize; Whaler Activities 4; Bengal Weekly 1. 2; Student Council 2, 3. Henry is the brains of the senior class. His scholastic triumphs are most exemplary. As a lower classman he monopolized all of the scholarship prizes so that Bulkeley had to declare a moratorium on one man prize winners. “Bove“ should be a pace-setter in life in which ever type of work he may pursue. BUCKO, JR.. FRANK “Buck Commercial Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3. 4. “Bucko” is the man who sabotages all gloam at Bulkeley. But we should not let his happy-go-lucky style deceive us.

ITALOR “Chip” College Football 4; Class Sports 4; Intramural Sports 4; Hi-Y 4. “Chip” is one of the many students who has joined our class in this, the last year of our stay at Bulkeley. “Chip” was varsity tackle on Bulkeley’s greatest football team.

HARRINGTON, ROBERT “Bob” College Intramural Spoits 2; Potpourri 1; Band 1, 2. When hunting season come around, we see little of “Bob”. His love of nature keeps him well occupied after school is dismissed.

When “Red” isn’t riding in his Ford Coupe, he can be seen playing football on the gridiron. Women are his weakness, but then who hasn’t that defect. “Red” hails from Quaker Hill, but that does not prevent him from keeping in touch with the outside world. He is popular with us all and has our best wishes for lasting success. v V THE WHALER Page forty-six CLASS HILLSBERG, DAVID “Dave” Commercial Sophomore Bookkeeping Prize. “Dave” is the silent type.

Music and acting occupy most of “Hoag’s” time. He has his troubles with algebra, but makes up for it in his other subjects. “Hoag” goes to all the formals and might be called Bulkeley’s Don Juan. The W. M. I. girls think he is Clark Gable but we know differently. Someday, Broadway’s gain will be our loss. HOAGLAND, GRAHAM “Hoag” Commercial Bulkeley’s Damon and Pythias team is “Hoag” himself and “Don” Cover. It is learned from reliable resources that “Hoag” is quite a vegetable man. Who knows but some day he may be a rival to Velles’ banana company. With him driving, his “jallopy” should win the next Indianapolis speed race. Girls, beware! HOWARD.

His candid shots have helped greatly in making this year’s Whaler popular. “Alf” is our temperamental baby of the senior class. He is a woman hater as the plotting W. M. I. girls will testify. “Alf” will someday “shoot” his way through life.

Keith is Bulkeley’s Tommy Harmon. His success on the gridiron has not increased his head measurement, but has only gained him more friendship from the boys.

KAVELAAR, ROLAND “Rol’ General Track 4. Roland is new here at Bulkeley this year. Those fellows who know him, like him for his modest ways and ability.

We see little of him, but according to reports, he never gets a chance to hurry by W. M. I. “Richie” is co-captain of this year’s track team—an honor which he richly deserves.

LACROIX, ARTHI R “Art” College Masque and Gavel 4. “Art” is the example of the quiet, hard working student. He is really the backbone and foundation of the class. We don’t know how the class would have gotten through without him. He should prove to be of value to this year’s track team. We are certain that “Art” will carve an enviable career, after he leaves Bulkeley. THE WHALER Page fifty LEADER, JACOB “Jake CLASS General Intramural Sports 3, 4; Whaler Activities 3, 4; Student Council 4. “Jake” is a big fellow and doesn’t bother talking much for he’s usually busy eating peanuts.

LORD, FRANKLYN “Frank” College Tennis 1, 2, 3, 4; Swimming 1; Intramural Sports 1, 2; French Club 2; Latin Club 2; Glee Club 2. “Frank” is the tall quiet chap who rates as quite a social lion at W. M. I. He’s pretty handy with a tennis racquet as well. “Frank” is one of the best dressed men in our class. Some day we shall probably be privileged to see his physiognomy adorning the color “ads” in the Esquire. LOL'GEE, F. EATON “Eaton” College “Eaton” loves to talk, so we’ve resigned ourselves to listening to big beautiful words about Lougee’s lost causes. He still wears a Wilkie button. Politically he is a Lougeite.

M. I. What more could anybody want? Oh! yes, he is one of the most popular boys in our class. He will be captain of this year's baseball team and if he. does as well in this as he has as the starring center on our State Championship football team, we should have a winner. “Joe is a true example of a sportsman who believes in fair-play.

As a student he excels in many of his subjects. Our only criticism is that the W. M. I. girls have been slighted because of his shyness. Girls, here is your man. PEABODY, RAYMOND “Ray” College Football 2, 3, 4; Intramural Sports 4; Hi-Y 4. “Ray” is quiet and reserved, but manages to pop up with a joke when needed.

Project 3. “Sig” walks around looking like a self-made professor, but don’t let that fool you; he only needs a haircut. The squeak in the band belongs to “Sig” and his clarinet.

We went into our cells on the Freshman block and were duly impressed or entertained, as the case might have been, by our diverse pedagogues. We elected Tom Dorsey, president; Nick Woviotis, vice president; and Dick Macaboy, secretary-treasurer. We contributed many outstanding athletes. In football, Joe Gorra, Bill Kurpiewski, Tom Dorsey, and Bob Rockholz carried many a ball goal-ward. Bronitsky was “on the spot” all the time in track. In baseball and basketball, Dorsey, Kurpiewski, Rockholz, and Gorra again made their mark. We weathered the examinations quite admirably. A few floundered and were washed ashore. Then came the school year of 1940, and we were Sophomores. Our actions and deeds proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that you can always tell a sophomore but you can’t tell him much. You see, we were pretty well “wizened,” knew all the “ropes”. We harbored this opinion until our grand entrance into Room 26 where our dear friend, Ray T. Reed, very successfully deflated our ego. We worked hard, but were well repaid for our efforts. Mr. Shay entertained us while Mr. Hjortland completed our “wizening-up” process. We elected Joe Gorra, president; Brian Casey, vice president; and Bill Kurpiewski, secretary-treasurer. Danny Small showed marked aptitude as an orator and “filibusterer”. Chester Smith displayed unusual musical ability. As Juniors, we see new worlds to conquer in the forms of sciences, languages, and the knowledge of Mr. Orcutt. We shall endeavor to uphold and carry on the traditions of Bulkeley School and preserve its name for posterity.

We were admitted into the depths of the subterranean freshman corridor where Mr. Balentine combined humor and a dash of Latin for an extraordinary study of the Roman tongue. We were capably represented in sports at Bulkeley by those with athletic abilities and selected as our political quartet Charles Brown, President; Richard Benvenuti, Vice President; James Wetmore, Treasurer; and George Trakas, Secretary. Now as Sophomores we try to forget that we were once freshmen, that low form of society and education. Mr. Ray Reed aids us in our cause, for I warrant our enunciation has vastly improved since we came into contact with his braring words and flying lips. Mr. Shay, however, still tries to amuse us with his age-old wit. This year, too, numerous boys have volunteered to participate in sports and extra-curricular activities. With careful consideration our class officers were chosen as follows; James Wetmore, President; Donald Slate, Vice President; and Joseph Lopes, secretary-treasurer. Our ranks are slightly decreased as we continue in our desire to receive the full benefit from our years at Bulkeley and someday we will be known as alumni of this school.

To us who were members of this class, this promised new friendships, new knowledge and many new experiences. As any group of ambitious “Freshies”, we were determined to make a good record right from the start. We decided that “The Door to Success is labeled PUSH!” Our first year has included achievements in extracurricular activities and many good times. We placed such outstanding men on the Junior Varsity Football team as Daniels, Davidson, Porter, Harkins, and Shaller. Archer was our lone representative on the cross-country team. His showing made many upper class-men green with envy. We are told by worldly wise Sophomores that the really worthwhile high school experiences lie before us. However, we have enjoyed to the utmost the taste of high school life we have experienced and we eagerly look forward to three more interesting and successful years.

Robert Lamb FOOTBALL 1 94 1 The 1941 Bulkeley football team, the greatest in the school’s history, steamrollered its way through a tough eight-game schedule and emerged with an unbeaten and untied record. Bill O’Brien’s eleven was not only crowned as Eastern Connecticut Conference Champion, but was also presented the Waskowitz Trophy which is emblematic of the state championship. The ’41 Tigers also had the honor of being the highest scoring Bulkeley team under Coach O’Brien, rolling up 181 points during the regular season against the opposition’s 33. In their opening contest, the Tigers scored a 19-0 win over Amherst High School, of Amherst, Mass. Keith Johnson and Bobby Rockholz accounted for all the Bulkeley scoring with Johnson chalking up two of the three touchdowns and Rockholz scoring the other and making good, one conversion. The whole Bengal line functioned well in this opening game both offensively and defensively, and it would be hard to pick any one standout. In their next encounter, the Tiger power proved too much for the tricky New Haven Hillhouse team, and Bulkeley emerged victorious by the score of 20-13. Bill Kurpiewski, hard-driving fullback, scored twice for the Bengals, while Rockholz tallied once and converted twice. Keith Johnson, ace half-back, suffered an elbow injury in this game, and was lost for five weeks. Eccleston and Voight were the line stand-outs, while Joe Gorra and Joe Murray both did fine jobs in backing up the forward wall. The next game was an all-important conference encounter with Stonington which the Bengals copped, 7-6. The Bulkeley eleven covered 85 yards on the first two plays of the game, to score their one and only touchdown. Joe Gorra gained 47 yards on an excursion around left end and Bob Rockholz covered the remaining 38 yards on a smash off tackle. Bob then booted what proved to be the game-winning point. The backfield standouts were Rockholz, Gorra, and Kurpiewski. Tom Dorsey, filling in for the injured Keith Johnson, also did a fine job both defensively and offensively. On the line, it was Sheedy, Peabody, Chiapperini ar.d Voight. In their next encounter, Bulkeley won its fourth straight game by routing Windham, 28-0. Bill Kurpiewski scored twice while Gorra and Crowley each rang the bell once. Rockholz’s educated toe accounted for four extra points. On the line, Eccleston, Voight, Ger.aros, and Chiapperini all contributed fine defensive plays. Robert E. Fitch was the next victim of the Tiger power, and was crushed to the tune of 21-0. Rockholz was the back-field star again, as he crossed the double stripes twice and booted THE WHALER Page eighty-two EDWARD P. COLLINS Assistant Coach WILLIAM F. O’BRIEN Coach M. Gottestien W. Henderson F. Johnson C. Genaros three perfect placements for the conversions. Joe Gorra accounted for the first Bulkeley score but was injured shortly afterwards and had to leave the game. The defensi e stars of the forward wall were Voight, Eccleston, Sheedy and Murray. After spotting Hartford Bulkeley seven points in the first period, the Tigers came plunging hack to win their sixth straight game by the score of 21-7. Bob Rockholz was the Bengal standout as he scored one touchdown, passed to two others, and converted three times. His punting also gave the opponents something to worry about. Crowley and Johnson (playing his first game since he was injured) were on the receiving end of Rock’s two touchdown heaves. As has been the case all season, the Bulkeley win was mostly a team affair with the forward wall blocking and tackling viciously. In their annual game with Chapman Tech, Bulkeley’s crack eleven not only won their seventh straight game, but also clinched the Eastern Connecticut Conference Championship by coming from behind to outscore their rivals, 25-7. Keith Johnson was definitely the backfield star of the day, as he raced 96 yards for a score on the opening kickoff of the second half. He also had a 20 yard run to pay territory in the fouith period. Dan Crowley accounted for the first Tiger score as he pulled down a pass in the end zone 40 seconds before the end of the first half. The try for the extia point failed, however, and Tech led at half time, 7-6. Shortly after Johnson’s breathtaking L. Dunn M. Ryan C. Manwarinp R. Lamb, Mgr. run, Joe Gorra plunged over from the three-yard line for the Bengal’s third score. Once again, the Tiger line was invincible and Tech was forced to take to the air for their only score. In their greatest triumph of the season, the Bulkeley gridders “walloped” Norwich Free Academy 40-0. This win was the eighth in a row for the Bengals who ended the regular season with an unbeaten and untied record to their credit. In this game, Keith Johnson distinguished himself as one of the finest backs in the state as he reeled off touchdown jaunts of 75, 50 and 20 yards. Along with these runs, he had a number of short sprints of 15 and 20 yards. Bob Rockholz, Dan Crowley and Bill Ealahan accounted for the other three Tiger markers. To single out any individual star, would be an injustice to the rest of the Bengal team. Bill Kurpiewski plunged like a Kimbrough, Rockholz and Gorra ran like Harmon, and the line of Crowley, Chiapperini, Peabody, Murray, Sheedy, Voight and Eccleston performed like “The Seven Blocks of Granite.” Blocking and tackling was deadly and was really felt by the Norwich players. Very few faults could be found in the Bulkeley team that smothered Norwich on the memorable day of November 15, 1941. First Row—1. to r.—Ass’t.

The Nashua team provided the best opposition the Tigers had met all season and thus, with a late fourth period score, were able to tie the Bulkeley eleven, 7-7. In the second period the Tigers marched 67 yards to the Nashua 3 yard line but were unable to cross the double stripes and the opponents took the ball on downs. Here, the Tiger line burst through and rushed the kicker, forcing a quick kick, which traveled only to the 20. Once again the Tigers started to move and this time Kurpiewski bucked it over from the 4 yard stripe. Late in the fourth period, however, Nashua recovered a fumble on the Bulkeley 30 and marched to the 2 where Captain Stanley Benjamin dove over for the score. The Tigers took the kickoff and marched 55 yards to the Nashua 7 but here Ed Demetrius, Nashua’s star end, came in fast and hit Rockholz as he was about to pass. The ball dropped free and was recovered by Nashua and held for the remaining few seconds. The Nashua stars were Demetrius and Buchard while the Bulkeley standouts were Crowley, Rockholz, Kurpiewski and Johnson. Four Bulkeley players were given places on the All-Conference team. They were Bob Rockholz, halfback, by unanimous choice, Joe Gorra, quarterback; Dan Crowley, left end; and Bob Voight, right tackle. Rockholz, Crowley and Voight were also chosen by the coaches as members of the All-State eleven. Johnson, Gorra and Chiapperini were given places on the third team. New London greatly appreciated what the Tiger eleven did for both the school and the city as shown by the fact that they were guests at banquets by the Rotary and the Elks. The latter had Jim Crowley, coach of the famous Fordham Rams, as its guest speaker. They also presented the team members watch charms in the form of gold footballs. Enough cannot be said in honor of this great Bulkeley football team, but we all know that its achievements will live forever, not only in the history of Bulkeley School but also in the memory of the players, coaches, students and alumni. It made all who had any connection with it proud not only of the team but also of Bulkeley School. THE WHALER Page eighty-six APPRECIATION “Pat Haleftiras was a graduate of Bulkeley School of the class of 1932. While a student, he gained the unusual distinction of being one of the most versatile athletes and active students in the history of our school. He was awarded eleven letters for varsity competition. Last fall, “Pat” volunteered his services to help drill the 1941 State Championship football team. He possesses an individuality that expresses confidence, good-will and admiration to all those who know him. His spirit of optimism and determination played a prominent part in helping the members of the football team to gain confidence so as to win against their most difficult gridiron foes. In “Pat’s” case, his schoolboy biography is indeed prophetic of the part he has played in our school life as an alumnus.

Being unable to participate in sports this fall, “Bill” heard the call of the gridiron and volunteered his services to help “whip” into shape our sensational 1941 State Championship football team. If his perseverance is any indication of a successful career, he will find himself well placed. Here’s to you, “Bill”, and let’s hope you find everything “serene.” Page ninety BASE CD 1 1 1 BASEBALL The 1941 Bulkeley Baseball team, after getting off to a slow start, finished up their season with a bang. Conquerors of eight games out of twelve, the Bulkeley team finished in second place in the Eastern Connecticut Conference race, behind the hard-hitting Norwich Free Academy nine. Bulkeley inaugurated their season on April 19, by winning a hectic 15 inning game from a powerful and aggressive Alumni nine, 5-4. Fran Cullen was the Bulkeley hero with a home-run in the third inning and a game-winning single in the 15th. Ewen Bry-den, promising young sophomore pitcher, received credit for the Bulkeley win when he came in and stopped an Alumni rally in the final frame. John Messer, Joe Podzaline, Dan Czekala, and Bill Rowley were the Alumni stars. The Tigers next met Robert Fitch and were stopped cold, 9-2 as Leon Nash hurled a four-hitter. Fitch was helped along by the loose defensive play of the Tigers who made six errors. This was Fitch’s first win over Bulkeley since they began their diamond rivalry back in 1932. Bulkeley had won 18 straight over the Tanagers prior to this meeting. With the Amanti brothers leading the way, the Tigers nosed out Stonington, 6-4 for their second win. Milt pitched a five-hit game and helped his own cause by collecting two hits. While brother Joe got two for four, Sal was busy getting his one for two. Together they had five hits in nine attempts. Milt also struck out 11 enemy batters. Bob Voight caught this game, in the absence of the injured Joe Murray, and did a commendable job. Jim Trakas was moved from left field to 1st base, thus giving Joe Amanti his chance to show his stuff. Next came Windham sporting a 13-game-winning streak over two seasons. Milton Amanti again pitched a brilliant game and upset the Whippets 4-2, with four hits and striking out 15. Jim Trakas, Bob Voight, and “Millie”, himself led the Tiger attack with two hits each. Using the almost forgotten squeeze-play successfully in the seventh and ninth innings, Chapman Tech nosed out Bulkeley 2-1. This game was a pitching duel between B. Downie F. Stadnick Capt. Elect B. Voight J. Murray J. Trakas F. Cullen M■ Amanti J. Beebe George Malone and Milton Amanti. Amanti gave up only two hits and struck out 12, but didn’t get the breaks. Malone, although giving up seven hits, kept them well scattered and was never in serious trouble. Mike Ryzewic, Tech first sacker, collected both hits off Amanti. Jim Beebe led the Tiger attack with three singles in three trips to the plate but his mates couldn’t bring him home. In its return game against Fitch, Bulkele.v avenged their early season defeat by topping the Tanagers 7-3. Bill Downie pitched eight hit ball for the Bengals while “Millie” Amanti and Capt. Facchini belted out three hits apiece. The Tigers next met the hard-hitting N. F. A. nine and dropped a close game by the score of 3-2. Once again Milt Amanti pitched superb ball, but as in the Tech game, was the victim of bad breaks. He yielded but seven hits and struck out nine. Lenny Wood, Norwich port-sider yielded a like number of hits but got the breaks that meant the game. Jim Beebe and Joe Amanti banged out two hits apiece for the Tigers while Porucznik collected two for the N. F. A. cause. The second meeting between Bulkeley and Stonington saw the Tigers squeeze out a 10-9 win, in a game which saw 19 runs, 24 hits and 10 errors. Francis Stadnick and Bill Downie combined to give the Tigers this win. Downie pitched 5 innings of relief, yielding but one hit and a few unearned runs. Stadnick pitched well but was in hot water most of the time because of loose fielding. Beebe and Voight collected three hits apiece toward the Tiger win, while Piccolo and McGuire banged out three each for Stonington. The next game found the Bengals facing the N. F. A. nine in their return game. But this time the Tigers turned the tables and banged out an 11-4 victory to hand Norwich its first defeat of the season, stopping its streak at nine straight. Captain Leo Facchini drove out four hits while Fran Cullen got three for three including a home run. Bill Downie also had a perfect day, getting two for two. “Millie” Amanti again pitched a brilliant game, striking out 13 and, although he yielded 12 hits, he was always in command of the situation. After the Bengals scored six times in the big fifth inning, the big boy was able to coast the rest of the way with little fear of being caught. With Bob Voight polling a 380 ft. home run in the eighth inning with Jim Beebe on base the Tigers won a hotly contested game from Chapman Tech, 6-5. This win enabled 1 9 4 Page ninety-three the Bengals to stay in the Eastern Connecticut Conference race. Tech seemed to have things under control as the teams entered the eighth inning and then Voight, the hero of the day, drove out his game-winning blow. Milton Amanti pitched for Bulkeley and gave up eight hits, and struck out 12. George Davison, Tech pitcher, giving up nine hits, also pitched effective ball, but threw one too good for Voight. The Tiger nine won its eighth game in eleven starts when, in its next contest, it beat Hartford Public 5-4. Leo Facchini, Joe Amanti, and Fran Cullen each collected two hits while John Heintz, Hartford outfielder, banged out two doubles ai d a single. Bill Downie did a commendable job on the Tiger mound, yielding only eight hits and striking out nine. The big blow was a triple off the bat of Joe Amanti, in the eighth inning to send Leo Facchir.i home with the winning run. An idle Norwich nine backed into the Eastern Connecticut Conference title as an inspired Windham team defeated the Bulkeley nine, 5-1 behind the five-hit pitching of Roy Thompson. Milton Amanti, the Bulkeley ace, although giving up only seven hits, could not match the brilliant twirling of Thompson. Bulkeley could not score until the ninth inning when Bob Voight drove one of Thompson’s fast balls for a 380 foot double to score Joe Amanti from first base. Milton Amanti, one of the best curve-ballers to hit the Eastern Conn, school-boy circuit in years, was Bulkeley’s representative on the Eastern Connecticut All-Star team. Millie richly deserved this honor, but don’t let his won and lost record influence you. He won 4 and lost 3. The games he lost were by scores of 2-1; 3-2; 4-1 and with a little tighter defense and a little more batting power, these games could easily have been victories for the big fellow. The 2-1 defeat was a two-hitter to Chapman Tech. After striking out nine of his first twelve trips to the plate, Fran Cullen came back with a bang to lead the Bengal batters with a mark of .370 and was a main factor in a number of the Bengal wins. Others in the .300 class were: Joe Amanti, .325; Jim Beebe, .313; and Leo Facchini, .306. Jim Trakas, although slightly below the .300 mark, was the holder of a hitting streak which stretched over the entire season of 12 games. Joe Murray, varsity catcher for the past two seasons, was elected Captain of the J. Amanti S. Amanti Capt. L. Facchini Mgr. A. Santaniello 1942 Tiger nine. He succeeded Leo Facchini, Captain of the 1941 squad. He will be supported by the following returning lettermen: J. Amanti, S. Amanti, J. Beebe, B. Voight, and F. Stadnick.

Murray Front Row: Leslie Philips, Horace Newburg, Howard Edgcomb, Edmund Condon, Alfred Gurnee, Thomas Murray; Back Row: Eugene Lawrence, John Waller, George Youngs, Clark D. Edgar. In 1903, the number of pupils at Bulkeley was small and there were usually only from 15 to 20 candidates for the baseball team. The ball used then was much heavier and less lively than that used today. The uniforms and bats were of about the same quality as those of the present day, but catcher protection was scant, as they had only a mask and a flimsy chest protector. In those days the championship team from the eastern part of the state would meet the conference winners from the western part on Yale Field for the state Championship. The Bulkeley team of 1903, captained by Alfred Gurney, played their regular schedule of home and home games with Willimantic, Norwich, and Morgan School of Clinton, and also single games with Kingston Agricultural College (now R. I. State), Westerly, and Blackhall. The team won all of its games except the final game with Clinton. In this game, P. Wilbur, the Bulkeley pitcher, threw his arm out and Clinton won the game by a decisive margin. This created a tie for the eastern championship between Bulkeley and Morgan School and the Blackhall diamond was chosen for the playoff game. This game was played in a raging gale, and as a result many fly balls were misjudged and dropped safely for base hits. The storm also accounted for the fact the Bulkeley team made 15 errors, which, along with Morgan’s 15 hits, enabled Morgan to come out on top 17-10, thereby winning the eastern championship. Eugene Lawrence, who was then instructor in Chemistry, and who is still making many new friends among the Bulkeley students, was Bulkeley’s coach in 1903. Page ninety-six BASKETBALL BASKETBALL 1940-41 The 1940-41 Bulkeley basketball team opened its season against a strong Putnam Trade five and after a hard fought battle were nosed out by the score of 46-44. Leading 36-33 at the end of the third quarter the Bulkeley five were held to eight points while the opposition racked up 13. Malan and Facchini were the Bengals’ high scorers with 14 and 13 points respectively. In their next encounter the Tigers met a classy group of Alumni stars who were decidedly too strong for their unexperienced opponents. Although Rockholz scored 12 points and Harkins 10, the Bengal five could not pull the game out of the fire and was defeated 48-35. The Alumni squad had such star performers as Paul Skrigan, Nick Ver-billo, Harry Clark, Jack Dorsey and the Apanaschik brothers, all of whom contributed to their team’s victory. The next game was a heart breaker for the Tigers as they bowed to Hartford Public High School, 42-38, in an overtime game. The Hartford five came from behind to tie the count in the 4th period and then out-scored the Bengals 6-2 in the overtime period. Leo Facchini led the Tigers with 12 points while Dione and Waterman each scored 10 for the victors. With Fred Malan scoring 18 points and Bernie Harkins 11, the Bulkeley quintet notched its first win of the season, defeating Robert Fitch 49-37. This was a close battle all the way until the Bulkeley lads found the range in the final period, and steadily moved ahead of their opponents. Bulkeley’s next foe was the strong Wind ham team, defending champions of the Eastern Conn. Conference. The Whippets proved much too strong for the Tigers and won their battle 44-17. The greatest menace to the Bulkeley cause was Joe Seretney, Windham’s lanky All-Conference forward, who threw in 13 points and paved the way with brilliant passes for a number of other Wind ham scores. The Bulkeley scoring was divided between Harkins, Crowley, and Malan. Jim Moran, rangy Norwich guard, scored a field goal in a Sudden Death over-time period to give the Norwich Wildcats a 33-31 victory over the Bulkeley five. Bulkeley Capt. B. Harkins Capt. Elect D. Crowley L. Facchini F. Malan M. Amanti T. Dorsey R. Bjorhus R. Eccleston H. Carey W. Murray came from behind to tie the count in the third quarter and from there they matched the Wildcats point for point through the fourth period and the first over-time period. In the second over-time period, Moran threw in his game-winning goal. Boh Rockholz scored 11 points for the Tigers, while Nafie and Skrabacz dropped in 13 and 11 points respectively toward the Norwich win. Bulkeley’s next foe was Bridgeport Bassick, New England Schoolboy title-holders. This game proved to be a nip and tuck affair until the final three minutes when the Lions scored ten points to put the game on ice and emerged the victors by a 44-32 count. Bulk-eley held its foe within striking distance all the way and were only behind, 34-32, when Bassick made their game-winning rally. Joe Oslai, Bassick’s All-New England center, scored 20 points and his mate, Bob Anderson, accounted for 18 to share the scoring honors for the night. Bob Rockholz led the Bulkeley five with 12 points. In their return game with Robert Fitch, the Bengals squeezed out a victory, with a third-quarter splurge, by the score of 32-27. Dan Crowley was the Bulkeley leader with 10 points, while Wolfe topped the Tanagers list with 13. With Capt. Tom Davis leading the way with 19 points, Manchester High School took a hard-fought battle away from the Bengals by a score of 46-42. This game was marked by a total of 32 personal fouls, each team losing two players through the personal foul rule. Bernie Harkins scored 12 points for the Bengals but was put out on four fouls shortly before half-time. Fred Malan also had 12 points to his credit. Milt Amanti and Dan Crowley were the Bulkeley defensive stars. In their next contest, the Tigers were defeated by their home town rival, Chapman Tech, in a thrilling battle by the score of 40-34. Tech, led by Mike Ryzewic and George Davison, who tallied 12 points each, built up their winning margin in the second and third periods and then kept the Bengals at a safe distance through the final quarter. Bernie Harkins was the Bulkeley star, swishing the nets from center court for 10 points while Dan Crowley did a good job getting the ball off both backboards. In their second meeting with N. F. A., the Bulkeley quintet lost a heartbreaker by a 36-34 score. The sharp-shooting of Carl Nafie and Jessie Peloquin proved to be too much for the Tigers who, although a bit off on their own marksmanship, staged a gallant 19 4 2 Page ninety-nine but futile fourth quarter rally. Bernie Harkins was again the Bulkeley high-scorer with 13 points while Dan Crowley played a brilliant defensive game. In their return battle with Windham High School’s powerful basketball team, Bulkeley was once again set back by the Whippets to the tune of 40-24. Leo Facchini and Tom Dorsey were the Tiger high scorers with 10 and 7 points respectively. Frank Vickery, young sophomore guard was the best defensive man on the floor, limiting the Windham scoring ace, Joe Seretney, to two points. Both boys played slightly over three-fourths of the game. Seeking to avenge their earlier defeat at the hands of Chapman Tech, the Tiger five surged ahead to a 15-5 lead in the first quarter of their return contest. In the second period, the Tech boys seemed to find their shooting range and from there on, out-scored the Tigers to come out on top 51-40. Bernie Harkins and Leo Facchini were the Bengal high-scorers with 13 and 12 points respectively. Mike Ryzewic led the Tech five with 15 points. The Tigers took to the road for their final two games of the season. These two games, on successive nights, were with Bridgeport Bassick and Stamford High School. In the first of these two games, which was with Bassick. the Tigers were defeated 32-25. Leading at the half, 17-15, the Bengals were held to one point during the third period and from there on they could not match the plays of the New England champions. Leo Facchini led the Tiger scorers with 8 points. In their final game of the season, the Tigers handed a classy Stamford five a 36-33 set back. It was the Tigers’ third win in 15 starts. All tied at 33 points with 1 minute and 56 seconds to go, Bernie Harkins dropped in a foul shot to give the Tigers a 1 point lead and a minute later, Leo Facchini sewed up the game with an under the basket shot giving the Bengals their 36-33 win. Daniel Crowley, star junior center was unanimously chosen captain of the 1941-42 basketball team. Dan has fine leadership ability and is bound to have a winning team. Players who will be lost by graduation are: Honorary Captain Bernard Harkins, Fred Malan, Leo Facchini and Milton Amanti.

Dick Knie, Bulkeley’s ace was the only double winner of the meet. He retained his dash title by running the 45 yards in 5.1 seconds which tied the meet record for that dash. Dick also copped the running broad jump by leaping twenty-one feet, two inches. Jerome Bronitsky put up a great fight to take a first place in the kilometer run. He was third coming into the last lap, and made a desperate dash that brought him victory. Dan Crowley scored the other Bulkeley points by placing third in the broad jump. Bulkeley next entered a skeleton squad in the University of Connecticut relays. Here, again, Dick Knie was the standout as he won the 60 yard dash and the broad jump. His time of 10.2 in the 100, set a new meet record. Carmelo Villani tied the meet record with a pole vault jump of 11 ft., 4 in. Dan Crowley placed second in the broad jump and high jump. In the Medley Relay, Knie, Crowley, Christianson, and Bronitsky combined to give Bulkeley first place with the fast time of 3:52.1. A brilliant all around performance by Knie gave Bulkeley a 61-47 triumph over Stonington. The Bulkeley ace took a first First Row: Christianson, D. Crowley, Villani, Knie, Heinsohn, Coach Stetson.

Bronitsky, Bulkeley's long distance ace, captured the individual honors by easily winning the kilometer and half mile runs. Crowley took a first place in the high jump. Capt. Villani copped the honors in the pole vault and Keith Christianson carried the Bulkeley colors to victory in the 440 yard run. Other Bulkeley scorers were: Joe Gorra, Harry Young, Fred Howard, and Beri.ie Harkins. New Haven Hillhouse captured the next Tiger meet 63-36 after Bulkeley’s ace, Knie, received a painful leg injury which forced him to retire. He received his injury at the finish line of the 100 yard dash which he won with a time of 10.4. In this meet, Dan Crowley took over the Bulkeley starring post as he took a first in the high and broad jumps and a third in the javelin throw. Bronitsky placed first in the mile run and third in the half mile while Captain Villani was out in front in the pole vault. Against their home town rival, Chapman Tech, the Tigers could not come up to par and were defeated by the score of 53 1 3 to 45 2 3. Dan Crowley once again filled the role of the Bulkeley star as he captured first place in the 100 yard dash and javelin throw and second place in the broad jump and discus throw. Keith Johnson crossed the finish line on Crowley’s heels in the 100 yard to also give Bulkeley the second place in that run. Keith Christianson placed first in the 440 and second in the 220 runs, while Captain Villani took the individual pole vault honors and also tied for first place in the high jump. These boys were supported by Bronitsky who took second place in both the mile and half mile. He was followed across the line in both cases by Fred Howard. In Christianson Knie Crowley Villani Murray Knie Crowley Christianson the quarter mile, Bill Roth crossed the tape in third place while Reggie Eccleston took thii-d place in the broad jump. The 1941 Norwich Free Academy Track Team won the Eastern Conn. Conference meet for the second year in a row while the Bulkeley Tigers finished third. In this meet, only one record fell by the wayside when Larry Bouley tossed the discus 137 feet four inches; 11 feet better than the previous mark. Dick Knie returned to fair form in the meet as he captured the 100 and 220 yard dashes and was a big figure in the Bulkeley triumph in the 880 yard relay. Other members of this relay team were: Dan Crowley, Bill Murray and Keith Christianson. Bronitsky again placed first in the mile run, Villani tied for first place in the pole vault and Crowley took second place in the high jump.

Jerome Bronitsky and Harry Young finished 1st and 2nd about a half mile ahead of the nearest Hillhouse runner. In their next dual meet, the Tiger harriers avenged last year’s humiliating setback by conquering Stonington 21-34. Again, Bronitsky and Young finished 1st and 2nd ahead of the rest of the field. In a futile attempt to make it three straight, the Tigers were upset by Norwich 23-32. In his usual style, Bronitsky led the pack home in 12 minutes, 5 seconds, just 11 seconds off the track’s record. The Bengal Harriers could not match the N. F. A. runner in the Eastern Connecticut Conference meet and finished second ahead of Stonington. Jerome Bronitsky, the Bulkeley ace, again crossed the tape far ahead of the other runners. Jerome Bronitsky, star of the past two seasons, was elected captain of the 1942 Bulkeley Cross Country team. Besides finishing first in the dual meets, he also captured individual honors in the conference meets of 1940 and 1941.

Norman Cross was the only Bulkeley player that managed to break the scoring column. In their next match, the Tigers received a stunning upset at the hands of Stonington, 3-2. Norman Cross again won his singles match and later teamed with Capt. Oscar Lubow to win one of the doubles matches to take the Bulkeley scoring honors. The Bengals gained their first victory of the season by defeating a strong New Britain team 4-2. Bulkeley's triumph came in the singles where Cross, Lubow, Wat-rous, and Smith, a freshman, emerged victorious. In their next encounter, the Tigers were edged by a strong Norwich team, 4-3. Cross and Fowler scored wins in the singles while Fowler teamed with Smith to win one of the doubles contests. Bouncing back from their defeat at the hands of Norwich, the Tigers handed Windham a 5-2 setback. Cross, Lubow, and two new-comers, Brian Casey and Richard Morgan, all scored wins in the singles while Cross and Lubow won a doubles match. Led by Norman Cross and Capt. Oscar Lubow, the Tigers won their third meet of the season by defeating Middletown 3-2. Cross and Lubow accounted for all 3 points. The Tigers next met New Haven Hillhouse and were defeated, 5-2. Cross won his eighth straight match to remain undefeated in singles competition and to account for one Bulkeley score while Lyman Watrous made the other. Bulkely next met the Windham netmen and were defeated, 5-2. Cross again, and Watrous also, were the Bulkeley point makers. In the final meet of the season, the Bengals were once again defeated by Norwich, 5-2. Norman Cross was elected captain of 1942 Tennis team. FRESHMAN BASKETBALL This year’s Freshman basketball team was one of which the school is justly proud. Cooperation and the eagerness and ability to learn enabled this team to win nine out of eleven games. Captain Jim Wetmore’s 21 points were too much for Fitch and we won our opening game in Groton, 50-30. We then took a troublesome Windham team into camp on their own floor by a score of 39-27. The Norwich game, played in Norwich, was a thriller. We were minus the services of Escott Smith, our best passer, but overcame a three point lead in the last quarter and won 30-24. Sullivan and Wetmore starred for our side. Our first home game and victory was at the expense of the Boy’s Brigade, who were defeated 44-27. Chapman Tech’s, big, Fred Weyant, was too much for us at the Y. M. C. A., and we lost our first game to the tune of 20-10. Once again we won from Norwich by a 44-20 score. This was our sixth straight win over the Academy boys. The Windham freshman gave us much less trouble on our own floor, and we won this one by a 36-17 count. Little MacIntyre found himself in this game, and contributed eleven points. Fitch was next and we won this one by a 41-20 margin. Our ninth win came over a strengthened Brigade team. 33-19, but our second defeat was given to us by Tech after a hard fought game. The score was 21-16. We then closed our season with a 44-28 victory over Harbor School. Smith and Wet-more missed this game as they were making a two-day trip with the Varsity. These two players along with Sullivan, O’Connell, MacIntyre, Jocoy, and Hoops should be heard from on the Varsity. Coach Joseph Silva BULKELEY INTRA-MURALS The Bulkeley Intra-mural leagues in touch-football, basketball, volleyball, baseball and softball are organized to provide competition, training and fun in athletic sports for boys who are unable to make J. V. or Varsity teams. Formed into both home-room and inter-class leagues, the intramurals reach more than one-third of the boys in Bulkeley School. Plain class numerals are awarded for league winners and a cup is given to the school champions in volleyball, basketball, and touch football. During the past year, a faculty team composed of Messrs. Balentine, Briggs, Collins, Greenaway, Jenkins, O’Brien, and Stetson defeated allcomers to win the intra-mural championship of the school in volleyball. Sophomore Room 24 provided an invincible team (Bronitsky, Cohen, Conway, Ryan. Mclnnis, Verenes and Wainwright) to win, not only the Bulkeley intra-mural basketball trophy cup, but also the honor of defeating the top-ranking intra-mural basketball team from Norwich Free Academy. In the softball league, the Juniors, with Balzac, Sheedy, Johnson, Barrows, Flannery, and Bessette leading the way, defeated all opposition. However, it was the Seniors who dominated the hard-ball league, with Hubert Neilan striking out most of the enemy batters and Buck Patterson, Fred Malan, and John J. Murphy blasting the opposition’s pitching all over the lot. Junior Room 16 won the senior league honors in touch football last season. The team, composed of Amanti, Macaboy, Nahas, Nassetta, Ramus, Tuneski, Vickery, Wetmore and Woviotis, laid claim to winning the school championship as well. In the lower class league, Ehmann, O’Donnell, J. Wetmore, Massad, Gottestien, Arkava, V. Gigliotti, Rose, and Slocum won honors defeating all opposition and bringing victory to Sophomore Room 26. Thomas Thompson and Andrew Matthews served sufficiently as league managers during the touch football season.

MASQUE AND GAVEL In its second year at Bulkeley, the Masque and Gavel has embarked on an ambitious and praiseworthy program. Every member has entered into some form of National Defense work. The members of the club are nominated by Junior and Senior English teachers and Mr. Underwood, the Headmaster. The Masque and Gavel, a national organization, has strengthened greatly its ties with Bulkeley. It has presented numerous assembly and radio programs and joint discussions with W. M. I. The officers of the club include Richard Knie, President; Francis Hoagland, Vice President; F. Eaton Lougee, Treasurer; and Henry Carey, Secretary. Much credit must go to Mr. Hjortiand, faculty advisor, who has given whole-heartedly, his time and energy in the promotion of the club.

THE BENGAL Formerly known as The Bengal Weekly, the school’s mimeographed publication, The Bengal, is expected to consist of fifteen issues during the second year. The paper attempts to reflect student opinion, and to announce and record important events in the life of the school. A certain amount of journalistic experience is gained by members of the staff. A banquet is held each year at which keys are presented to the graduating members of the staff. This year’s Senior members of the staff include Mathew Perry and Daniel Crowley, Co-Editors; Richard Knie and Angelo Santaniello, Associate Editors. 19 4 2 Pape one hundred fifteen THE BULKELEY FRENCH CLUB The Bulkeley French Club, under the leadership of a guidance committee composed of students Brian Casey, Richard Boyce and Jack Mansfield, contributed extra-curricular activity for many students interested in F’rance and French civilization. Last year the two most memorable activities of the club were providing a French Club-sponsored assembly in which Mr. Arthur Bigelow, who recently returned from Europe, spoke on his experiences during the last eleven years in France and Belgium and a French Club excursion of five days’ duration into French-Canada. Spending their time for the most part in Montreal, twenty members of the club enjoyed French and Continental food, resided in a French-speaking hotel, visited old-world churches, shrines, museums and stores—among other things. The following boys made the trip: J. Murray, Chapman, Casey, Chappell, Roth. J. Sullivan, W. Carey, Kiely, Lougee, Maloof, Miner, Walker, Sherman, Keeney, F. Howard, F. Johnson, Deptula, Lamb, Farina, and Caldwell. Plans for the current year include another Montreal trip and programs featuring full length classic French sound motion pictures to which will be invited members of other High School French Clubs and students of Connecticut College. THE WHALER Page one hundred sixteen THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council, still in its infancy at Bulkeley, took up its work this year under the leadership of Keith Johnson. A variety of matters pertaining to the school have come before this body during the school year, and a sign of its growth and value can be seen in the fact that now the Student Council is expected, as a matter of course, to shoulder various responsibilities. It is expected to supervise school elections, it is expected to help in intra-murals, and in the conduct of varsity basketball games in the Gymnasium, and it is expected to be the place where such questions as to whether or not to have a Pot-pourri, will be debated. The Council elected Keith Johnson, President; Edward Birchall, Vice President; and Henry Carey, Secretary. If this year’s Council turns in a record of leadership and work efficiently done, it means that next year’s Council will be that much more solidly founded in the life of the school. Here is a training ground for the citizenship of later life, here the student comes in contact with parliamentary procedure, with responsibility, with human nature, with the opportunity to debate orally, and with the science of government. Surely these are important contacts which Bulkeley desires to continue to offer the members of the student body. Page one hundred seventeen H I - Y The Hi-Y with an enrollment of approximately thirty, hold meetings every Wednesday night in the club-rooms at the Y. M. C. A. The club has proven to be a social asset to the school. It has had suppers, dances, and many noted speakers. To stimulate interest in the club, it is divided into three competitive groups. It is the duty of each group to furnish monthly programs. Carey was chosen as head of the red division, Velles of the Blue, and Genaros of the white. The first half year saw “Bob” Voight, President; Anthony Nassetta, Vice President; “Chub” Birchall, Secretary; and “Joe” Flannery, Treasurer. At the February election Brian Casey was elected to the Presidency; “Joe” Gorra, Vice President, “Tom” Dorsey, Secretary and “Red” Henderson, Treasurer. JUNIOR WHALER ASSISTANTS Were it not for the Junior Whaler Assistants, the Bulkeley Whaler would not be the success that it is. It is the duty of the assistants to solicit ads from the local merchants. The job is hard and the boys deserve every bit of credit and praise they receive. As a reward for the work they have done, the members will receive positions on next year’s staff. WHALER ROOM CAPTAINS The hard job of obtaining payments for the Whaler is the responsibility of the Room Captains. These industrious underclassmen devote endless hours of time in promoting the yearbook. The boys are selected on a basis of initiative, honesty, and leadership. Their assistance is appreciated by every member of the staff. THE STAMP CLUB The Stamp Club exists for the purpose of enabling its members to get the most out of their hobby. Wherever possible current events are tied in with collecting, such as envelopes postmarked from the many United States’ bases established on foreign soil. Air Mail, naval and first-day covers, and new postal issues are of special interest to the members. The officers are Angelo DeMarco, President; Jack Ashcraft, Vice President; and James Lougiotis, Secretary.

Pierce Mr. Pierce musical director at Bulkeley, has devoted unlimited time and energy in the promotion of the Glee Club. The club is rapidly taking its place as a traditional organization at Bulkeley. From a small beginning of a few years ago, the Glee Club has grown into an organization of thirty members and now has some of the best talent in the school. Soloists this year are Chester Smith and Daniel Small. It is hoped that the interest will grow as the years go on. The Glee Club is called upon frequently to sing at local functions. Many members of the Glee Club participated in the All-New England Music Festival in Keene, New Hampshire. It is expected that the entire group will go to the New England Music Festival in Providence, Rhode Island this spring. THE WHALER Page one hundred twenty THE BULKELEY ORCHESTRA Nineteen years have seen the Bulkeley Orchestra recognized as one of the most outstanding musical organizations both at Bulkeley and in New England. The Bulkeley orchestra played at Auburn last spring and made a fine showing. It also had an important part in the spring concert and at the graduation exercises. With the added demands made by W. M. I. upon its music students, the number of girls in the group has gradually declined since its beginning some 21 years ago; the orchestra is a Bulkeley orchestra. A new group from the orchestra has been organized this year as the Bulkeley String Ensemble. This has proven a valuable builder for the orchestra as well as an interesting group in itself. It is hoped that more string players will join this group when they start up again next fall. This year selected members of the orchestra participated in the All-New England Music Festival at Keene, New Hampshire. The entire orchestra will go to Providence, Rhode Island in May to participate in the New England Music Festival. Page one hundred tiventy-one THE BAND Last spring the Bulkeley Band journeyed to Auburn where they participated in the New England Festival. This year the band played at Providence and as usual reflected credit on the school by the fine showing made both in the auditions and in the parades. Its director, Mr. Howard T. Pierce, has proven his ability as a band director. He is president of the New England Music Festival Association, an organization that has, during the past few years, been well represented by Bulkeley musicians. Mr. Pierce is Vice President of the Band Masters Association of Connecticut. Several members of the band took part in the All-Connecticut Band Festival at New Britain last fall and in the All-New England band at Keene N. H. this spring. On March 16, the Band Clinic was held at Bulkeley. The concert was under the direction of Paul Wiggen, All-New England Band Master. Their marching and music at the football games enhanced the enthusiasm of the fans and added a great deal of color to the contest. The band is often invited to represent Bulkeley School at the various municipal celebrations such as the Armistice Day and Memorial Day parades.

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 young men 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. Instruction is through lectures, solution of business problems, class discussions, motion pictures and talks by business men. College of Engineering Provides for young men complete college programs in Engineering with professional courses in the fields of Civil, Mechanical (with Aeronautical, and Air Conditioning options), Electrical, Chemical, and Industrial Engineering. General engineering courses are pursued during the freshman year; thus the student need not make a final decision as to the branch of engineering in which he wishes to specialize until the beginning of the sophomore year. Co-operative Plan The Co-operative Plan, which is available to upperclassmen in all courses, provides for a combination of practical industrial experience with classroom instruction. Under this plan the student is able to earn a portion of his school expenses as well as to make business contacts which prove valuable in later years.

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. 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.
