“
Ex Libris “With confidence in our armed forces, with the unbound-inx) determination of our people, we ivill gain the inevitable triumph, so help us God.” Franklin D. Roosevelt 1944 YEARBOOK OF BULKELEY SCHOOL NEW LONDON, CONNECTICUT Main Entrance A A One ship drives east and another drives west, While the self-same breezes blow. It’s the set of the sails, and not the gales That bids them where to go. Like the winds of the seas, are the ways of the As we voyage along through life. It’s the set of the soul, that decides the goal, And not the storms or the strife. DEDICATION The class of 1944 takes great pride in DEDICATING THIS VOLUME OF THE WHALER TO JOSEPH A. SILVA, WHOSE KEEN PERCEPTION, KIND HUMOR, AND SINCERE UNDERSTANDING HAVE ENDEARED HIM TO ALL OF THOSE WHO HAVE COME UNDER HIS TUTELAGE WHETHER IN THE CLASSROOM OR IN THE FIELD OF ATHLETICS. UNDER HIS LEADERSHIP AND UNTIRING EFFORTS MANY OF OUR YEARLINGS REALIZED THEIR START IN THE VARIOUS SPORTS WHICH LATER ENABLED THEM TO EXCEL AS VARSITY PLAYERS. A A A A IN MEMORIAM GOLD STAR HEROES A deeper crimson in the rose A deeper blue in sky and sea And ever as the summer goes A deeper loss in losing thee. Henry Van Dyke David Bernstein ’28 Walter Kari ’35 Daniel Crowley ’42 Richard Noyes ’37 Stephen Cullen ’38 John J. Ryan ’42 Herbert Schwarting ’40 Picture not available The faculty and students of Bulkeley School deeply mourn the loss of these youthful heroes. They were all good soldiers who bravely took their stand and kept their rendezvous with destiny. Thoreau said that frontiers are not east or west, north or south but wherever a man faces a fact. These Bulkeley boys faced the fact that all our sacred privileges and possessions were being threatened—that our freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear—all need to be defended even at the cost of the supreme sacrifice. Deep as our sorrow is for these departed alumni, our classmates, we know how keen and crushing is the sorrow of their fathers and mothers. Both for ourselves and these parents we can find some comfort in the words of Lincoln’s memorable letter of condolence to Mrs. Bixby: ‘I pray our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom’. H. K. Underwood STEPHEN FRANCIS CULLEN RICHARD ELY NOYES WALTER A. KARI m DAVID BERNSTEIN HERBERT CHARLES SCHWARTING DANIEL BEDFORD CROWLEY FORE L OOKING back we see our life at Bulkeley not as a series of isolated events to be recorded in chronological sequence as so many classes have experienced before us, but as the four year period of experiences full of humor, pathos, tenderness . . ., elements which escape the constrictions of time. Taken as a whole, however, these experiences all seem to tell a story. It is our profound hope that the pages of the 1944 WHALER will accomplish a two-fold purpose: to re-create all these experiences as we have known them; second, to help others to profit by these experiences so as to have a better understanding of the traditions, purpose, accomplishments, and customs of Bulkeley, the School we love so dearly. WORD Soon we graduate; then we shall assume our manifold responsibilities, whether it be in the field of combat in this global war or on the production line. Each and every one of us hopes to carry with us cherished ideals, the worthwhile philosophy of life, so as to realize a useful way of living. We aspire to a life of honor, patriotism, virtue, and loyalty. We cannot retrace our steps, but we can focus the telescope of time on the future, following a war-torn world. May the lower classmen CARRY ON, be inspired by our efforts, so as to help preserve for posterity the traditions we have tried to perpetuate so nobly.

Roosevelt FACULTY Page twenty-three TO THE CLASS OF 1944 Should auld acquaintance be forgot And never brought to mind ? Should auld acquaintance be forgot And days of auld lang Syne? From now on there will be no ‘vade mecum' for your daily living. This type of assistance and preparation we hope you have obtained from your studies and from your experiences in daily contact with both teachers and fellow students. Bulkeley School is rich in traditions. They, too, should make an inspiring background for your work and recreation in the years to come. Do not spend your time on too many objectives. Plan your life well so that you may have time for your work, time for wholesome recreation, and time to share with well-chosen friends. After a little more than two score years of a schoolmaster’s life, I still feel sorry when a class comes to the day of graduation. Many times there are some members of the class whom I never see again. There will be this same experience in your own relationships with one another. And now for every member of Bulke-ley’s class of nineteen forty-four I wish the joy of a long abundant life. ‘Look to this Day, for it is Life, For Yesterday is but a Dream, And Tomorrow is only a Vision; But Today well lived Makes every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope’.

Despite the war’s distractions the class has managed to get the most it could out of the education offered by Bulkeley. Some of our members are in the armed services, and a few are slated to go before graduation, while the majority will be serving Uncle Sam in some capacity before the opening of the next school year. Four years ago, on a bright September day our class began its life. Approximately one hundred eager students thronged the lower halls, awed by the sights they saw. Since that day the class has experienced many tribulations and has come through smiling. It has seen the world crisis come to a head and finally plunge the United States into the war. It has seen its members drafted into the armed forces. Besides these major trials the class has fought its way through the jungle of knowledge. Laboriously the members have reached a point where they can look back and say proudly, “We Dood It”. We have elected four class presidents in our stay and have prospered under each one. These class leaders were: Charles Brown, James Wet-more, Escott Smith, and Donald Slate. The faculty has been to most of us our chief assistants in accomplishing our purpose at Bulkeley. We have survived their obstacles and owe much of our success to them. In the field of athletics our class has been exceptional, having such versatile athletes as Jim Wetmore, Escott Smith, Harold Ramus, Art Magin-niss, Don Slate, and Jim Sullivan. These boys have excelled in all sports and have led many a Tiger team to victory. Now in our Senior year, we are looking out over the field of life. What we see looks somew hat dark in spots, but we know that some of us can play a part in winning the war, and all of us in winning the peace. TH E WHALER Page thirty-six CLASS OFFICERS DONALD SLATE President ESCOTT SMITH Vice President ROBERT LAMB Secretary NORMAN MACINTYRE Treasurer SENIORS CLASS PROPHECY It is the year 1994. Coming in on the special from Boston conductor Hoops tells me that engineer Capozza has the throttle wide open. Rolling past the C. V. dock I see Nassetta and Nauta pushing trucks. Arriving at the station I see newsboy Kaplan chatting with Hendel who asks me if I want a shine. I turn around and see Congdon and Cotton climbing off the rods. I start towards the Lougiotis Pizza Palace when one of the Eala-han Construction Co. trucks driven by Goskey nearly hits me. Impellitteri, Pickett, and Ross wave from the back while Williams snoozes on a nearby pile of bricks. Shaken by my narrow escape, I stagger towards the main drag. I enter Mai’s poolroom only to be knocked down by Ingersoll as he flees from MacIntyre and O’Connell. I ask Trakas what gives. He tells me King Waters, the gangster, has put the finger on the Gigliotti brothers for not kicking in their share of the lollypop racket. Trakas also tells me that Fowler and Smith are now co-managers of Ocean Beach. I look around and see farmer Whitten still trying to put the eight ball in the corner pocket. He misses and gives Wetmore his nickel. I inquire of Ramus learning that he had been appointed playground director by city manager McGuinness but was fired for stealing candy from Dennis and Rose. As we stand talking, a news broadcast comes through. The voice we hear is that of Sharaf; “Big Art Maginnis will start his twenty-fifth year of pro football tomorrow . . . Radical Ben Jones has just been thrown in jail for mooching cigarettes from Bolczak . . . Morris, the great screen lover, is to play opposite Honey Bunch Hamlen in her next picture . . . The two intrepid aviators, Proctor and Rogoff, have just flown non-stop across the Thames River . . . Two gangsters, identified as Gottes-tien and Montrello, held up the Seventh National Bank owned by DuBois. Doorman Lawton and Treasurer Dixon were the only ones hurt . . . Duke Small, the king of swoon, will play at Murray’s Palladium Thursday night.” Suddenly there is a howl of static and the broadcast is cut off. I leave the pool hall bidding goodby to Janitor Hale and his assistant Geoffrey. Outside the door I am met by Arkava who tries to sell me a garbage can. I refuse and step into the street only to be tripped by street-cleaner Lamb. He apologizes and asks me if I am voting for Slate for president. I say yes and continue across the street where I bump into buck private Lopes who is doing his thirteenth hitch. On the side of Hidde’s Neptune hotel I see a billboard advertising Slocum’s Three Ring Circus, starring lion tamers Benvenuti and Kirshenbaum. Added attraction is Tro-land in the freak show. Next to Hochman’s Bakery I suddenly see a crap game. I rush up just in time to see Sullivan fade. Then to my surprise a patrol car screeched to a stop opposite us and disgorged two policemen, Anderson and Stephens. In the confusion I escaped, but I noticed that Downing, Ryan, and Bosworth had been caught. Shaken by this terrible experience I staggered into Kimball’s “We serve it, you drink it” bar only to be thrown out immediately by strongarm San-ter. Dusting my self off I noticed Postmaster Toohey giving orders to mailmen Massad and Neidzwecki. As I stood there gaping, D’Angelo approached me and told me that Mayor Clark wished to see me. We rode to the City Hall in Narducci’s taxi. We swept into the foyer missing doorman Voss. At a window stood Turning, paying his 1945 water bill. In the Mayor’s office Head Councilman Ernst gave me sound advice. The four little words he spoke were, “Get out of town.” Heeding his advice I left the city escorted by confidential investigators B. Brown and C. Brown, who were working for Hill, the new D. A. So I bid farewell to my old home town. ’Twas sweet to return to the scenes of my youth and observe the changes in the fortunes of my classmates. Of course this major epic is not completely truthful, but, “Truth is stranger than fiction”. THE WHALER Page thirty-eight ANDERSON, ROLAND “Ro” 4 General Band 1, 2, 3, 4. “Ro” is the quiet type except when it’s time to strike up the band. Like his pal, Dennis, he is from the “sticks”. He’s managed to slip through Bulkeley quietly and we wish him luck on the road to success. ARRAY A, HAROLD “Porky” College Cross-Country 1, 2; Track 1; Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Sports 1, 2; Masque and Gavel 3, 4; Debating Club 3, 4; Latin Honor Society 2. Don’t be surprised if you’re asked to vote for Senator Arkava some day. One of our best talkers, “Porky” has found time to give his support to many school activities, not to mention an enviable scholastic record. We’re certain these qualities will get him far. BKNVENUTI, RICHARD A. Ben College Track 4; Vice President 1; Pot-pourri 3; Masque and Gavel 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Prom Committee 3. “Ben” is one of our most popular classmates and we understand he is well known at W. M. I. Music is his field although often we receive the benefit of his voice in the classrooms much to our entertainment and the faculty’s despair. That smile and the ability to win friends form a winning combination. BOLCZAK, WILLIAM A. “Slish” General Intramurals 4; Class Sports 4; Hi-Y 4. “Slish” evidently believes “Silence is Golden” for he is quiet in school and is away like a flash at closing time. But we believe that there is something under that silence and some day it’ll emerge. Best of luck, “Bill”. 1944 Page thirty-nine BOSWORTH, ROBERT “Bosie” Commercial Track 4; Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Bookkeeping Prize 3. “Bosie” hasn’t raised the roof at dear old Bulkeley but he has supported our activities. He snared a bookkeeping prize last year. Maybe he’s destined to be a business man. Whatever it is we’re sure he will do well. BROWN, BURTON A. “Hedge” College Football 2; Track 2, 3, 4; Cross-Country 3, 4; Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Baseball 2. Here is one of the mainstays of this year’s Cross-Country team. “Hedge” is a track man but he has participated in all the intramural sports too. Everyone likes his friendly manner and it’s certain that it will calm any stormy weather for Burt. BROWN. CHARLES VICTOR “Charley” College Track 3, 4; Cross-Country 4; Boxing 2; Class President 1; Student Council 1; Biology Prize 2. “Charley” has established himself as an excellent student here at Bulkeley. We don’t hear much from him except maybe some track talk or the latest model airplane he’s building. Whatever he sets out for we know he’ll achieve. CAPOZZA, ROCCO “Rock-o” Commercial Intramurals 3. We don’t know too much about “Rock-o” for he came from Tech last year. We do know that he likes popular music. He’s from the country but hasn’t let that hamper him. Some day opportunity will come his way with a vengeance. THE WHALER Page forty CLARK. CHARLES College “Chick” Intramurals 2, 3, 4. Not only does he do well in his studies, but “Chick” is a genial fellow and we like him. He’s from Waterford but that has not deterred him from supporting all our athletic activities. Whatever he does his friendliness and ability will always stand him in good stead. CONG DON, ROBERT B. “Bob” College Football 3, 4; Tennis 1; Intramurals 2, 3, 4; Band 1, 2; Masque and Gavel 3, 4; Latin Honor Society 2; Pot-pouiri 3; Biographical Editor of Whaler 4. All through Bulkeley “Bob” has led the way as far as studies are concerned. He is no bookworm, though he keeps himself well informed on the up-to-the-minute sports news. “Bob” hopes to attend the Naval Academy soon. The “1944 Whaler” owes him a great deal. All our wishes for success are with you, “Bob”. COTTON, DAVII) LEE “Reb” College “Dave” came to us from the “Sunny-South” last year. He has an excellent knowledge of classical music and will be able to discuss most any record with you. We have enjoyed his sense of humor (?). We hope that everything will be harmonious for you, “Dave”, and may your future always be bright. D’ANGELO, PHILIP “Phil” Commercial Freshman Basketball; Intramurals 2, 3, 4; Bookkeeping Prize 2. “Phil” is one of our loyal supporters in all activities. Though small in size he has made his mark in the Bulkeley world. He and Narducci are inseparable. Good luck to you, “Phil”. May success always by your reward. 1944 Page forty-one DENNIS. ROGER “Dennis” General Band 1. 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4. “Dennis” is one of the mainstays of our band and orchestra. He has a way of enjoying life that we admire. When you see Dennis you usually see Anderson. No doubt his friendly manner and that smile will lead him far. DIXON. LOUIS “Pete” General Band 1, 2; Orchestra 1, 2; Glee Club 3; Pot-pourri 3; Prom Committee 3; Biology Prize 3; Track 3; Intramurals 3; Correspondence Secretary of Whaler 4. “Pete” is a hard worker both in and out of school. He has established an enviable record for himself at Bulke-ley and has also found time to support many of our activities. The “1944 Bulkeley Whaler” never would have gone to press without “Pete’s” untiring and gracious assistance to all of the editors. His quiet and efficient manner will make his future secure. DOWNING. HARRY W. “Duke” Commercial Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Sports 1; Bookkeeping Certificate; Whaler Room Captain 3. “Duke” has managed to undergo four years here without creating any fervor, unless you include that wit of his. Don’t worry, Harry, we enjoy your jokes. Keep at it. Walter Winchell may have a worth-while rival some day. DUBOIS, FRANK S., JR. “Frank” College Tennis 1; Prom Committee 3; Band 1, 2, 3; Hi-Y; Latin Honor Society 2; Junior Math and Harvard Club Award 3. Frank has certainly distinguished himself in the scholastic field. Last year he carried away the coveted “Harvard Club” award. During his lighter moments he is one of our best dancers. His ability has caused us to place our confidence in him and we know he will attain success in whatever field may be his choosing. THE WHALER Page forty-two EALAHAN, WILLIAM “Billy” College Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Intramurals I, 2, 3, 4; Class Sports 1; Hi-Y 3, 4. “Billy” is a hard worker either on the diamond or gridiron or in the classroom. He did a swell job as quarterback this fall in leading the football team through a great season and will probably be our varsity backstop this spring. Keep hitting the line, “Bill”, and leave the broken feminine hearts behind you. ERNST. LOUIS “Flat Top” College Baseball Manager 2, 3; Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Sports 2; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Advertising Manager of Whaler 4; Junior Asst. “Lou” is one of our class clowns. His antics have furnished a great deal of enjoyment for us but not for the faculty. In his more serious moments he finds time for many school activities. Keep 'em laughing, “Lou”. FOWLER, DAVID “Dave” College Band 1, 2, 3; Tennis 1, 2, 3, 4; Intramurals 1, 2. “Dave” is not only a good musician but an all around good fellow. Tommy Dorsey had better watch his laurels. “Dave” is also very handy with a tennis racquet. That Fowler wit has made him popular and has won him many friends. GEOFFREY, RICHARD “Rich” College Track 4; Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Sports 1; Bengal Weekly 1. “Rich” will no doubt be an engineer some day. He likes nothing better than a good algebra or physics problem to work on and he loves to tinker with things. As his friends will tell you, he is a swell fellow to know. 1944 Page forty-three “Tony” GIGLIOTTI, ANTHONY Commercial Freshman Baseball; Intramurals 1, 2, 3. “Tony” is that quiet type but, like Gig, when it’s time to talk about baseball, he’s here. Who knows but some clay he may own the “Yankee” ball club. We hope that he will find the base paths of life easy running. GIGLIOTTI, VICTOR “Gig” College Freshman Baseball; Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Sports. Here is the other half of the Gigliotti brothers. We don’t hear much f om “Gig” in school but he has found time to support the school’s activities. “Gig” would rather see the “Yanks” play than attend a banquet. Still waters run deep. Success should be your crown. GOSKEY, EDMUND “Eddy” College Band 3, 4; Track 4; Class Sports 4. “Eddy” came to us from Tech last year. He has already established himself as a valuable member of the band with that trumpet of his. He wants to be an Air Corps pilot and we wish him the best of luck. GOTTESTIEN, EMANUEL “Mendy” College Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Sports 1, 2. “Mendy” is strictly a “New York Giant” fan, make no mistake about that. Their antics have certainly cost him some gray hairs. “Mendy” has shown himself capable of great things when he buckles down to other things than trying to beat the system at Bulkeley with his shadow, Montrello. THE WHALER Page forty-four HALE, ROBERT Commercial “Bob” “Bob” is one of the least known members of the class of ’44. But we hear that he is an expert on the best sellers and stamps. They tell us he is not so quiet after school. “Bob's” silence has us all stumped; even the fair sex. Happy landings, “Bob”. HAMLEN, ROBERT “Bob” College Masque and Gavel, 3, 4; Junior English Literary Prize; Band 1; Football 1, 4; Literary Editor of Whaler 4. Whether it is “Shakespeare” or “Steinbeck” Bob has read it, for he is one of the best read seniors. His interests are not wholly literary, however, for he is also one of our actors. “Bob’s” arguments are always getting him some place, either in “dutch” or elsewhere. HENDEL, SEYMOUR S. “Sey” General Track 1, 2, 3, 4; Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3, 4; Student Council I. 4; Whaler Business Manager and Jr. Asst.; Bengal Weekly 3. “Sey” is a well-known member of the senior class. He is to be seen constantly around Mr. Pasquale. Helping? “Sey” is interested in journalism as is shown by his record. We feel sure that he will attain his goal in life. HIDDE, RODNEY “Hid” College “Hid” came to us from San Diego in sunny (?) California only this fall. He is another of our staunch Navy men. “Hid” has quickly adapted himself to our school and has shown himself to be an excellent student. 1 944 Payc forty-five “Bill HILL, WILLIAM N., JR. College Football 2; Basketball 4; Track 4; Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Sports 2; Pot-pourri 3; Glee Club 1; Student Council 4; Junior Whaler Assistant; Editor in Chief 4. The Editor of Bulkeley’s Best Whaler is a popular and efficient fellow. His hard work has won him the respect of both faculty and students. When not participating in sports, you may be sure that “Bill” is there rooting for Bulkelcy. We’re sure that he will attain success in whatever he may desire. HOCHMAN, EDWARD L. “Ed” College “Ed” has slipped through Bulkeley without too much noise. He does wo:k hard at his studies although he is a baker after school. Ed is a firm believer in world cooperation but we’ll excuse him for that. As a student “Ed” has proven his worth, especially in Economics. He should go far in the business world. HOOPS, ROBERT “Bob” Commercial Freshman Basketball; Intramurals 1, 2, 3. “Bob” likes to make those model airplanes and he does a good job of it. He has that enjoy life attitude which we admire. His friendliness and humor have brought him many friends. “Bob” has found time to support a lot of our school activities in spite of his many out of school duties. IMPELLITTERI, JOHN “Terry” General Intramurals 2; Boxing 2; Band, 1, 2, 3, 4. When “Terry” is not around town in his Ford, you may be sure he is playing the clarinet in the band. He plugs away at whatever he does and together with that sense of humor he displays, he should give a good account of himself someday. THE WHALER Page forty six I INGERSOLL, OLIVER “Ollie” Intramurals 3, 4. “Ollie” is Bulkeley’s proponent of the turtle-neck sweater. He is well known and liked by everybody and at times amazes the faculty. Life will be just a “bowl of cherries” for “Ollie”. He is a conqueror of broken hearts, but, we feel that he will be a credit to our class regardless. JONES, BENJAMIN “Ben” General Football 1, 2, 3; Intramurals 4; Masque and Gavel 3, 4. “Ben” has made a name for himself at Bulkeley as a great talker. He thinks he is able to dumbfound certain of the faculty, but only for a short while. “Ben” is one of the class sheiks. With his gift of speech and other qualities, he should be able to talk his way through life. KAPLAN, ROBERT “Bob” College Asst. Mgr. Track 3; Cross-Country Mgr. 4; Intramurals 1, 2, 3; Pot-pourri 3; Masque and Gavel 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 3; Student Council 4; Band 1, 2; Whaler Activities 3, 4; Bengal Weekly 1, 2, 3. “Bob” is one of the actors of the senior class. He has shown in productions at W. M. I. and Connecticut College. It is easily seen by his record that he is actively interested in all that goes on at Bulkeley. He and Hendel are bosom companions. His work on the “1944 Whaler” has been commendable and should be helpful in later life. KIMBALL, WILLIAM AMOS “Bill” College Cross-Country 1, 2; Pot-pourri 3; Glee Club 1, 2; Masque and Gavel 3, 4; Vice President 4. “Bill” is very much interested in radio. In fact, he is one of the operators of the local radio transmitter. We admire his zest for life. We expect to someday see “Bill” a submariner in the Navy and a close competitor of Admiral King. 1944 Page forty-seven KIRSHENBAUM, ROBERT “Bob” College Football 2, 3, 4; Intramurals 2, 3; Pot-Pourri 3; Masque and Gavel 2, 3, 4; President 4. “Bob” has shown himself to be a hard worker. But it’s not all work and no play for him for as we have discovered, he has a great sense of humor. When not studying he has found time to lend a helping hand to our extracurricular activities. He plans to attend Dartmouth and we wish him the best of luck. LAMB, ROBERT “Bob” College Fooball Manager 1, 2; Class Secretary 4; Student Council 4; Hi-Y 4. “Bob” was manager of our great 1942 all state championship football team. He is one of our most popular students and it’s lumored that W. M. I. says the same. Maybe it’s the Niantic in him but “Bob” has the knack of enjoying life and of making friends. LAWTON, DONALD “Don” College Football 3; Intramurals 3, 4; Sophomore Geometry Prize; Orchestra 2. “Don” is one of the tallest members of the senior class. Work does not bother him. His cheery grin and good nature are to be found at W. M. 1. events as well as Bul-keley. He has always shown himself to be a regular fellow. LOPES, JOSEPH MAURICE “Joe” College Class Secretary-Treasurer 2; Intramurals 2; Masque and Gavel 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Latin Prize 1, 2; Bengal Weekly 2. “Joe” has made a record here as a linguist. He also likes to sing in the Glee Club with the other singing “Joe”. His ability and friendliness have won him the respect of both the faculty and his classmates. THE WHALER Page forty-eight LOUGIOTIS JAMES College Lour” Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Sports 2, 3; Football 4; Track 4; Typing Award 3; Bengal Weekly 1, 2, 3. We haven’t heard too much from “Loug” during his stay here at Bulkeley. He does, however, enjoy his siesta every day in Room 10. He has shown himself to be a supporter of school activities, especially sports. MACINTYRE, NORMAN “Mac College Freshman Baseball and Basketball; Track 1; Intramural and Class Sports 1, 2, 3, 4; Band 1, 2, 3; Baseball 3, 4; Basketball 2, 4; Boxing Medal 2; Class Treasurer 4. Here is one half of the Maclntyre-Nauta duet. “Mac likes his sports and has shown himself a superior player in intramural basketball. “Mac enjoys life and the books don’t seem to faze him. However, some day he may be written up in our history books. MAGINNIS, ARTHUR “Mac College Baseball 3, 4; Freshman Baseball and Basketball; Football 2, 3, 4, Captain 4; Track 3, 4; Basketball 3, 4; Cross-Country 1; Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 2, 3, 4, President 4. “Mac is one of our most popular students. Besides being a good fellow “Mac has made a great name for himself in all branches of sports. This year he led our football team through a splendid season. “Mac should make good, although studies are not his first choice. MALLOVE, HARVEY “Mai College Track 4; Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 2, 3, 4; Vice Pres. 4; Student Council 2, 4; Circulation Manager Whaler 4; Junior Asst.; Bengal 1, 2, 3. “Mai is one of our poolroom sharks. His cheery good humor has brightened the sky for many a slaving pupil. It is understood that he is a sheik at a certain school over yonder on the hill. He has worked hard at all Bulkeley activities and is liked by all. “Mai’s good fellowship is a quality that should pay good dividends. 1944 Page forty-nine MASSAI). LOUIS “Lou’’ College Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Latin Honor Society 2. ‘‘Lou’s is the quiet type except, of course, when he is in the vicinity of “Monty”. He has managed to keep himself in the top bracket for four years and despite after school work has found time to participate in intramurals. We expect big things of you, “Lou”. McGUINNESS, JOSEPH “Joe” College Basketball 1; Intramurals 2, 3, 4; Pot-pourri 3; Masque and Gavel 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Minstrel 4. “Joe” is very much interested in aeronautics. He is one of the stalwarts of the Glee Club and from what we hear he is also a good ivory tickler. We admire his perseverance and his affability. Keep ’em flying, “Joe”, your scholastic success is all to your credit. MILLARAS, JOHN THOMAS “The Greek” General Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4. When school closes we don’t see much of “The Greek” except in his red truck driving around town. We’ve found that his bark is worse than his bite. Girls, here is your man. John may yet become a gentleman farmer and one to go far in Waterford politics. MONTRELLO, GEORGE J. College “Monty” Football 1, 2. Whether or not “Monty” will be a race track tout or not is open to prediction. His size does not seem to hamper him too much and he seems to do right well, when he wants. Let nothing stand in your way, George, even though Gottestien may have tried to lead you astray during your easy-going days at Bulkeley. THE WHALER Page fifty MORRIS. FRANKLIN “Stink” College Freshman Baseball; Football 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 2; Sophomore Boxing Prize; Whaler Room Captain 1. “Stink” is the tall good looking fellow who rates as quite a social lion at W. M. I. Frank has made a name for himself as a tackle on the football team. He is one of our most popular students having legions of friends. Keep it up, “Stink”. MURRAY. ROBERT “Bob” College Basketball Manager 3; Track 4; Tennis 3, 4; Cross-Country 4; Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Sports 1, 2; Potpourri 3; Hi-Y 3, 4, Vice-Pres., 4; Chiistmas Dance Committee 4; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Typing Award 2; Student Council 1, 2, 3; Sports Editor of Whaler 4. Diminutive “Bob” has put many of us to shame with that energy of his. He has established himself as a good student and his participation in extracurricular activities manifests a spirit we endorse. The ‘“44 Whaler”, and Mr. Pasquale, would have been lost without his capable assistance. “Bob’s” efficiency and spirit will carry him far in whatever field he may choose. NARDUCCI. PAUL “Paulie” Commercial Freshman Basketball; Intramurals 2, 3; Hi-Y 4; Band 3; Class Sports 2; Basketball 4. “Paulie’s” interests seem to lie in recoids and sports but it is doubted that he is a woman hater. His favorite sport is basketball and he is no “slouch” at it. His “pep” will no doubt overcome many obstacles. NASSETTA. THOMAS “T” Commercial Football 3, 4; Track 4; Intramurals 3, 4; Hi-Y 3, 4. “T” is Bulkeley’s “sweaterboy”. His cheerful, smiling face is to be seen all through the corridors. He knows everyone and is popular. He played on the football team this year and worked hard at it. Girls, here is the answer to your prayers, but beware..........WOLF! 1944 Page fifty-one Commercial NAUTA, ROBERT “Dutch” Intramurals 2, 3, 4; Class Sports 1. “Dutch” is one of our class shadows. He is the other half of the Maclntrye-Nauta team which we see so often. “Dutch” believes in the old adage, “Smile and be happy, but work keep away from my door.” “Dutch” likes sports and can discuss the subject fluently with the best of them. He is a good catch for some fair maiden. NIEDZWECKI, HENRY S. “Hen” College Intramurals 1, 2. “Hen” will no doubt realize his ambition of flying. When he is on the ground he likes swing to girls. We understand he has a smooth line with them. Stay with them, “Hen”, and your aims in life will be realized. O’CONNELL, JOHN “Oke” General Baseball 1, 4; Intramurals 1, 2, 3; Bookkeeping Certificates 2, 3. “Oke” has been with us since our sophomore year but we have haidly been aware of it. Ho is one of the quieter members of the class. It's understood he is interested in radio. Keep on the beam, “Oke”, and you will spark. PICKETT, EDWARD “Ed” Commercial Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Sports 1, 2. “Ed” has been at Bulkeley four years without raising any great amount of commotion. Never-the-less, “Ed” is always ready to appreciate a good crack, whether it’s his or someone else’s. He is seen at all the football games cheering for all he’s worth. The conscientiousness and personality shown by “Ed” during his stay will surely be to his advantage in the future. TH E WHALER Page fifty-two PROCTOR. DAVID GILL “Dave” College Track 4; Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Sports 2. “Dave” is famous in Bulkeley for being: our class Scotchman. Not so much so though that we haven’t been able to find a faithful friend and supporter of all Bulkeley functions. “Dave” has his troubles in the classroom but who doesn’t? His good record is the result of hard work. We’re pulling for you, “Dave”! RAMUS, HAROLD “Ig” General Baseball 2, 3, 4; Football 4; Basketball 4; Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Freshman Basketball and Baseball; Class Sports 2; Hi-Y 3, 4; Secretary 4. “Ig” has been romping through the halls of Bulkeley for a good many years now. Unheedful of the admonitions of the faculty. “Ig” has finally come to the top. He has amazed us with his natural ability at sports and also with his natural ability at skipping classes. “Ig” can’t help but make a name for himself in the world with that swivel chin of his. ROGOFF, DAVID M. “Dave” College Football 1, 2, 3; Track 1, 2, 3; Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 4. “Dave”, better known as the “Rooster”, has gone through Bulkeley with a bang. We all know how much he has wowed the faculty. “Dave’s” singing (or groaning) ability has won him unending fame. “Dave” is quite a socialite and is known far and wide for his nighthawking escapades. Keep the old pepper pouring, “Dave.” ROSE. WILLIAM R. “Rosie” College Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Sports; Stamp Club 1, 2, 3. Here is little “Willie” Rose. “Rosie” is well known in school although he is definitely on the quiet side. By the looks of things “Rosie” is going to own “The Day” one of these days. He has not participated in athletics but is a hearty supporter of the intramural program. Keep up the good work, “Rosie”. 1944 Page fifty-three ROSS, ARTHUR F. Commercial “Art” Intramurals 1, 2, 4. “Art” is one of the quieter boys but his six foot frame and size twelves are well known throughout the class. “Art” is seen at all the games and dances and he leads an average life. Though no shark in the classroom “Art” has managed to hold his own. Is it the Army for you, Art? Lots of luck, Art, we know you’ll do well. RYAN, LAWRENCE “Larry” College Intramurals; Spelling Prize. “Larry” Ryan is a talkative little fellow. But, not as some, to the annoying extent. He knows when to stop. We haven’t seen as much of Larry as we would have liked to this year. Whatever the outside attractions are, “Larry”, don’t forget the old Alma Mater. SANTER. SIDNEY “Sid” Commercial Bookkeeping Prize 3. Serious minded but always cheerful, “Sid” has earned a high scholastic average and is near the top in the commercial division. No doubt about it; “Sid” is a worker both in school and out. But he’s never too busy for a cheery “Hi”. “Sid” has not shown us much of his lady killing ability but it’s there all right. Don’t work too hard, “Sid”. SHARAF, EARL “Eg” College Basketball 3; Track 2, 3, 4; Cross-Country 3, 4; Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Baseball; Band 1, 2; Bengal Weekly 1; Junior Business Training Prize 1; Bookkeeping Prize 2. Here is another of those hard-working men of the Cross-Country and Track squads. “Eg’s” work isn’t limited to the track, however, as a glance at his scholastic record will quickly tell. “Eg” is a good sport, a fine friend, and a true son of Bulkeley. Keep the standard high, Earl. TH E WHALER Page fifty-four SLATE. DONALD W. “Don” Commercial Football 3. 4; Track 1, 2, 3, 4, Co-Capt. 4; Cross-Country 2; Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Vice President 2, 3; President 4; Hi-Y 2, 3, 4; Prom Committee 3; Senior Dance Committee; Band 1, 2; Bookkeeping: Prize. “Don” has been through his four years at Bulkeley one of the most active fellows in the school. A student, athlete, and socialite; who could ask for more? “Don” has really gone to town in his senior year. He’s president of the class, a regular halfback on the football team, and co-captain of the track. Success is surely headed your way, “Don”. SLOCUM. ROEBLING “Reb” College Intramural Basketball 2, 4. “Reb” seems somewhat on the quiet side at first glance. His often exposed wit, and pleasing personality, however, make up for this. “Sloe” is a staunch supporter of all Tiger Tussles, and is seen at every game. The name of this intellectual senior is never missing from the Honor Roll. May your health and happiness continue, “Reb”. SMALL. DANIEL “Danny” College Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 2, 3; Prom Committee 3; Student Council 2, 3, 4, Pres. 4. “Danny” is well known around Bulkeley for his singing ability. He also has his own band which we understand is a great success. And what a politician! This year “Danny’s” party completely swept the senior slate. Life will be a song for you, “Danny”. SMITH, ESCOTT “Es” College Football 1, 2, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Track 3, 4; Tennis 1, 2, 3, 4; Intramurals 2, 3; Boxing 2; Class President 3; Vice Pres. 4; Hi-Y 3, 4; Prom Committee 3; Pot-pourri 3; Bengal Weekly 3; Student Council 4; Vice President 4. Meet “Essie” Smith, one of the most popular fellows in the class. “Es’s” athletic ability, modesty, and good looks have won for him a host of friends both at Bulkeley and W. M. I. “Es” is our lone Ten Letter man this year. He stared in football, basketball, track, and tennis. No one could ask for a better friend than “Es”. 1944 Page fifty-five STEPHENS, MARVIN MASSEY, JR. “Marv” College What we haven’t learned about California since “Marv” joined us this year isn’t worth knowing. We still can’t decide which is better, “Marv’s” “Coronado” or Hidde’s “Hoover”. Never-the-less “Marv” has settled down and is a true Bulkeley man. Big “Marv” is a Navy man. We expect to see him some day wearing the Navy Blue and Gold. SULLIVAN. JAMES “Sul” Commercial Baseball 2, 3, 4; Football 2, 3, 4; Basketball 3, 4; Intramurals 2. 3; Freshman Basketball and Baseball; Bookkeeping Prize 2. A staunch wearer of the green is “Jim”. He is known by all as an athlete and friend superb. “Sul” can talk his way into or out of anything, even a mark from Mr. Orcutt. Although no grind, “Jim” has managed to keep up with his class. We’ll surely miss “Sully’s” excited chatter and Irish grin in years to come. Keep it up, “Jim”. TOOHEY, JOHN “Jack” College Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 4; Student Council 3, 4; United States History Prize 3. We now take pleasure in presenting Jack Toohey. “Jack” has proved to us through his actions inside school and out that he is a fellow we want to know better. “Jack” is a most gentlemanly boy; neat and polite at all times. A fine student though no bookworm, ambitious Jack is headed far. TRAKAS, GEORGE “George” College Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4, Co-Captain 4; Class Secretary 1. We have finally come to the end of the long line of Trakases. George is no exception to the rule. He’s Co-Captain and peppy third sacker on this year’s baseball team. George is about the quietest of the family and reached scholastic heights unequaled by his forbears. Smooth fielding, “George”. THE WHALER Page fifty six 4 TROLAND. TOWNSEND “Townie” General Townsend came to us in our senior year from Columbus, Georgia. He is a quiet and reserved boy, but those who have managed to break the ice have found a most pleasant character. We were surprised to learn that “Townie” is the nephew of Mr. John Troland. Good luck, “Townie”. TURNING, WALTER “Walt” College “Walt” hails from Niantic. A typical representative of that town, he is a quiet but pleasant sort and a better than average student. Needless to say “Walt” is a faithful supporter of Bulkeley activities. “Walt” really deserves his diploma. VOSS, EMERY “Em” College Football 4; Track 4; Intramurals 4. “Em” is another newcomer to Bulkeley this year. He entered right into our life here and is now known and liked by all. “Em” switched his colors with ease and has become one of the most spirited Tiger backers. If he can make as many friends in life as he has here, “Em” will have no worries. WATERS. HAROLD A. “Harry” College Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Stamp Club 1, 2; Masque and Gavel 3, 4; Junior Math Prize; Junior French Prize. Here’s a boy who is constantly knocking off those gigantic averages. Yet he never seems to be over-burdened with books. “Harry” though generally very unobtrusive, now and then comes up with a crack that resounds for quite a while. Keep it up, “Harry” and let us in on your secret of success. 1 944 Page fifty seven WETMORE, JAMES “Snake' College Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Football 1, 3, 4; Basketball 2, 3, 4, Co-Capt. 4; Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Pot-pourri 3; Class Treasurer 1; Pres. 2; Sec.-Treas. 3; Hi-Y 2, 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee; Whaler Assistant 3, Circulation Manager 4; Bengal Weekly 3; Boxing 2; Student Council 2, 3; Freshman Basketball and Baseball. There’s never a dull moment when “Snake” is around. That is, when he’s awake. With little apparent exertion he has won letters in all three of our major sports. And with less apparent exertion has achieved an enviable scholastic record. WHITTEN. FRED “Fred” College Track 1. 2, 3, 4, Co-Captain 4; Cross-Country 1, 2, 3, 4, Capt. 4; Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Stamp Club 1, 2, 3; Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Masque and Gavel 3, 4; Whaler Room Capt. 1; Bengal 1, 2, 3. During his four years at Bulkeley “Fred” has become notorious for a number of things. Heading the list is his running ability. He’s captain of both Cross-Country and Track. Avoid meeting “Fred” if you’re in a hurry because he can talk the longest and loudest of anyone we know. We have much to expect from “Fred” in whatever field he choses. WILLIAMS, CARL E. “Carlie” General Freshman Baseball; Basketball 3, 4; Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Boxing. Here is the last Senior on the list, but by all means not the least. “Carlie” is one of our better known Seniors. We have not seen much of him this year, however as his job keeps him busy. Never-the-less he still finds time to shoot a game of pool now and then. Best of luck. “Carlie”. THE WHALER Page fifty-eight JUNIORS ROBERT WILSON JOHN SHEEHAN JOHN PORTER Vice President President Secretary-Treasurer CLASS OFFICERS A HISTORY OF THE JUNIOR CLASS The class of 1945 first entered the portals of Bulkeley School in the fall of 1941. We elected as our class officers John Sheehan, President; Vincent Archer, Vice President; and John Porter, Secretary-Treasurer. Our initial year will be long remembered, for it was graced by the presence of an undefeated State Championship Football Team. In our Sophomore year we discovered a few of us had outstanding athletic ability, as Davidson and Daniels won places on the varsity eleven, and Archer on the Cross-Country squad. Our officers were Robert Davidson, President; Robert Daniels, Vice President; and John Porter, Secretary-Treasurer. Though in the course of our progress at Bulkeley, a few have been washed upon the shore of failure, most of our original number have become Juniors. Some of us have volunteered into the armed forces, while the majority have decided to help the war effort by furthering their education. At the three year mark now, we elected as President, John Sheehan (our Freshman leader); as Vice President, Robert Wilson; and as Secretary-Treasurer for the third consecutive year, John Porter.

The event was the forming of the class of 1946. We were no different from any other freshman class that had entered Bulkeley School. After a few weeks we got a little balance. We found the right classroom and got used to high school subjects. We learned to keep out of the way of upper classmen. We broke into the political world by electing as our class officers: Roland Farina, Warren Patterson, and Victor Sargeant. As sophomores, we again had to go through an orientation period. We were proud of being able to call others “dumb freshmen” and not having ourselves referred to by that phrase. After a taste of sophomore work from our respective teachers, many of us wished we were freshmen again. However, we took it in our stride and readied ourselves for a year of sophomore activities. Going once more, with more experience, into the political field, Roland Farina, Victor Sargeant, and John O’Grady were our choices for officers of the Sophomore Class. In the way of sports, the class of '46 has had many participants. While freshmen, many boys were shown to have what it takes to go far in Bulkeley athletics. As sophomores it has been proved by some, and in the years to come it will be proved by many more. Now we are sophomores, commonly called “wise fools”. We are, however, looking forward to that great day when we can call ourselves juniors.

We soon became acquainted with the dean of freshmen, the ingenious instructor of room eleven, who put us at ease with his heart-inspiring remarks. In those few months since our arrival we gradually became familiar with school work and our fascinating teachers. As a group it did not take us long to make the headlines in the various sports. Some of us were used for dummies by the football squad and others carried the ball when the third team got a chance to play. We found that our sacrifices were appreciated and that we were privileged to attend the squad banquet. Our basketball team is going down in Bulke-ley history as one of the most outstanding. One of the highlights of our school year was the class election of officers. After muddling through a heated political campaign we elected: Tom Daniels, President; Nathan Belcher, Vice President; and John O’Connor, Secretary-Treasurer. Now we feel as though we are regular members of Bulkeley School. We can stride through the halls with all the pomp that freshmen usually sport at this stage of their school life. We look to the future most confidently and feel that our class will be as much a credit to Bulkeley as many of the classes who have gone on before us bringing fame to the Orange and Black.

The Tigers drew first blood early in the first quarter on a touchdown sweep by Don Slate, and the conversion by Bob Davidson. But Hillhouse’s great Levi Jackson was too much with his two touchdowns, and great defensive play. Coupled with two other touchdowns by New Haven, Hillhouse won 24-7. Stonington was the next opponent, and the first Conference game went to the Bengals 20-6. Porter scored first for Bulkeley and Davidson converted, but Stonington roared back and drove 45 yards for a touchdown; they missed the conversion. In the last period Don Slate broke loose for a Bulkeley score and Davidson kicked the extra point. With a substitution-sprinkled lineup in the closing minutes, Jim Wetmore clinched the game for the Bengals when he threw a touchdown pass to Orazio Spinnato. Bulkeley resumed hostilities with Westerly after an eight year lapse, and trounced the Bulldogs 26-0. Daniels scored first on a pass from Wet-more, then Slate scored on a plunge from the four yard line. Wetmore Bill Ealahan Capt. Art Maginnis Don Slate Jim Sullivan Bill Lacey Harold Ramus Jack Porter Bob Davidson hit the line for the next score, and passed to Daniels for the extra point.. After Ig Ramus had a sixty yard run annulled by a penalty, he got away again for fifty-five yards and this time it counted. Davidson toed the extra point, and in poured Tiger substitutions. Hartford gave the Bengals a scare before bowing 7-6. Jim Wetmore twice set his bombsight on Bob Daniels, the first pass was good for a first down, and the second scored a touchdown; Davidson converted. Hartford scored but missed the extra point, which proved to be their downfall. Along with Wetmore and Daniels, Bill Ealahan and Frank Morris played exceptionally fine ball. Against New Britain, Bulkeley duplicated its feat of a year ago, as they upset the State Champs, 13-7. Jim Wetmore put the Tigers into scoring position with his passing and Don Slate and Bob Davidson alternated Wetmore skirts right end carrying the ball, until Davidson bucked the line for the score, then kicked the extra point. New Britain made its only score in the third quarter on a play that was questioned by Coach O’Brien as to its legality. However Bulkeley was not to be outdone, and with Don Connors, Bill Lacey, and Ramus clearing the path of tacklers, Jack Porter went over for the final touchdown, and victory. In their second Conference Game, the high-riding Tigers blanked Fitch 19-0. Ig Ramus took over the scoring position for Bulkeley as he slashed through the mud, rain, and Fitch line, time after time, to score two touchdowns. Bob Davidson added the other touchdown and kicked one extra point, as the Tigers went into a first place tie with Chapman Tech for the Conference title. Over 3,000 rain-soaked fans jammed into Mercer Field on Armistice Day to watch the Tigers and Chapman Tech play the game that would decide the Conference Championship. The two teams battled to a scoreless tie, ankle deep in mud, throughout the game. The Tigers twice threatened to score but were stopped both times on the four yard line. In statistics, Bulkeley far outgained Tech, piling up 8 first downs to 2. Ig Ramus did the brunt of the Tiger ball carrying, and chalked up many a precious yard through the big Huskies’ line. Capt. Art Maginnis and the Bulkeley forward wall pushed the heavier Tech line all over the field, but it just wasn’t in the books for the Bengals to score. By popular demand, Bulkeley and Tech clashed again, on the date originally set for the Bulkeley-Norwich game which was moved up to Thanksgiving Day. And this time, under ideal conditions, Bulkeley came out on top, 18-6. Don Slate scored first for Bulkeley, on an end run; after Ramus, Bob Daniels, and Jim Wetmore had advanced the ball to Tech’s ten yard Tillie Daniels Don Connors Jim Wetmore Frank Morris line. Three successive fumbles, one by Bulkeley and two by Tech, set up the Tigers second in the same period. After Tech had fumbled on theii twenty, and then been penalized to their one yard line, Ramus put it over with two smashes at the line. Bill Riccardo recovered a Tech fumble, to start the second half, and a moment later Don Slate broke loose for the Bengals final touchdown on a fine off tackle run. Joe Suscello saved the Huskies’ from a whitewashing in the final period, when he raced 16 yards without blockers to score. On Thanksgiving Day, Bulkeley ended its season with a crushing 41-6 victory over Norwich. After Don Connors blocked a Norwich kick, and Capt. Art Maginnis recovered. Bob Daniels picked up twenty yards on an end around play, and Don Slate went over for the touchdown. Davidson converted. A few minutes later Bill Riccardo recovered a Norwich fumble and Porter plunged for the score. N. F. A. halted the Bulkeley march temporarily, and staged a 77 yard drive of their own to score their only touchdown. After a series of power plays, and a pass brought the ball to Norwich’s one yard line, Davidson swept the end for the score, then booted the extra point. At the start of the second half, the Tigers power played 75 yards, to the Norwich 25 yard line, where Norwich was penalized five yards, and Slate carried it over. Davidson converted. In the final period, after N. F. A. had punted to the Bulkeley 30, Jack Porter raced 70 yards to a touchdown, and Jim Sullivan converted. In the closing minutes of the game, Bob Davidson intercepted a Norwich pass on the fifty yard line. Jim Wetmore passed 30 yards to Jim Sullivan who carried the ball to the Norwich 11 yard line. Belcher picked up 6 yards and Wetmore scored from the five. Sullivan converted. Porter races for touchdown in Norwich game Bill Riccardo Escott Smith Murray Hendel This was the last game for the following seniors: Capt. Maginnis, Morris, Sullivan, Ealahan, Wetmore, Smith, Hamlen, Lougiotis, Voss, Nas-setta, Kirshenbaum, and Ramus. The above and the following won varsity letters this year: Belcher, Daniels, Davidson, Porter, Riccardo, Connors, Lacey, Sargeant, Tirrell, McCarthy, Spinatto, and Clemens. The Co-Champs of the Conference were well represented on the All-Conference Team. Tillie Daniels, Don Connors, Capt. Art Maginnis, and Bob Davidson caught the nod from the selectors. The 1943 season was the third consecutive successful season for the Bengals. This year the Tigers were rated third in the State with a grand record of seven wins, a tie, and a loss.

Bulkeley, by winning six and losing four games, ended up third in the Eastern Connecticut Conference. The Bengals opened their baseball campaign with a 7-5 win over the Alumni. Rockholz, starting moundsman, had to be relieved by Ewen Bry-den in the third inning when the Alumni came up with a five run outburst. Bryden, a southpaw, from then on gave only three hits and no runs, turning in a splendid relief job. Tom Dorsey, hitting two for three, smacked out a double with the bases loaded to take the hitting honors. Jim Wetmore, starting for the Tigers in their next game with Admiral Billard Academy, gave up only two hits and fanned nine in the six innings he worked, as Bulkeley easily won the contest, 5-0. Bob Rockholz, who shut out Billard for the remaining three frames, and Tom Dorsey were the hitting stars with two hits each. In an eleven inning duel, Chapman Tech gave Bulkeley its first baseball defeat of the season, by the score of 2-1. It was a thrilling pitching duel between Ewen (Lefty) Bryden and Tech’s ace. Ronnie Ham. Bryden gave five hits to Ham s two, but Bulkeley’s moundsman had an 11-8 margin in strike-outs. It took a late game rally by Bulkeley to top Westerly, 4-3, in the first varsity contest between the two schools since 1934. The brother battery Ewen Bryden Irving Lubchansky Capt. Sal Amanti Harold Ramus of Jim and Tom Wetmore were the stars. Jim pitching one hit ball over the final four frames kept the Rhode Islanders from further scoring, while Tom was the big gun in Bulkeley’s hitting attack, collecting three hits for five. Not one member of the Maritime School reached first base, as Bulkeley took their next game 7-0 in a twilight contest at Mercer Field. Bob Rockholz, pitching five innings, and Jim Wetmore hurling the final two in a seven inning contest, didn’t allow a single hit or walk, as Bulkeley collected three runs in the third and fifth innings and one in the fourth. Tom Wetmore and Bob Daniels each hit safely two out of three times. In the first encounter with Norwich of the season, Ewen (Lefty) Bryden outpitched Capt. Gene Calkins, Norwich’s ace, by the margin of 1-0. By this victory, Bulkeley broke a 13 game Norwich winning streak which extended as far back as the start of the 1942 season. Bulkeley earned their lone tally in the fourth inning when George Trakas, Bulkeley third base-man, lined a single to left field to score Bob Rockholz from second base. Bulkeley, suffering from a let down after its last game with Norwich, was defeated by Stonington, 4-2. No Bulkeley man fanned while 14 Ston-ington batsmen struck out. Bulkeley out-hit their opponents 9-7, but two Tiger errors cost the game. Bulkeley’s Lefty Bryden again faced Gene Caulkins at Norwich, but our age old rivals, Norwich, managed to eke out a close 1-0 victory in another pitchers’ battle. The lone tally came in the last of the seventh when Norwich’s right fielder smacked a single and went to third on a base on balls and a sacrifice, and then scored on a long fly. Tom Dorsey Tom Wetmore Jim Wetmore Bob Rockholz Tillie Daniels George Verenes Mgr. Louis Ernst Jim Wetmore gave Stonington a long-to-be-remembered one-hit performance in leading Bulkeley to an 11-0 victory over the Bears. Alfred Alfero, Stonington’s second baseman, robbed Wetmore of the perfect game by beating out a slow bunt down the third base line. Bob Rockholz, with two singles and a double, headed the Bulkeley batsmen. Bulkeley closed its 1943 baseball season by dropping another close game, 3-2, in the 11th inning to Chapman Tech. Lefty Bryden, Bulkeley’s hard-luck hurler, was the losing pitcher when he gave up two hits in the last of the eleventh for the Huskies’ winning tally. Harold Ramus and George Trakas were elected co-captains for 1944. The lettermen who graduated were: Bob Rockholz, Tom Dorsey, Tom Wetmore, Irving Lubchansky, Sal Amanti, George Verenes, and Ewen (Lefty) Bryden. Louis Ernst was manager of the team.

Bulkeley alternated their first and second strings and found little trouble cracking the Traders’ zone defense. Bulkeley’s next foe was Old Saybrook, Connecticut State Class C-D champions. It was a tight game with a considerable amount of body contact, but Bulkeley finally squeezed out a 48-42 victory. Bob Rock-holz with 15 and Escott Smith with 13 points led the Bulkeley scoring. . Sparked by Frank Vickery’s marksmanship, the Bengals next rolled over the Alumni by the score of 44-25. Going into the last quarter the Tigers held only a two point lead, but from there they went on to outscore their opponents 19-2. The varsity then traveled to New Britain, where after a low scor-Co-Captain F. Vickery ing first half, Bulkeley won 45-29. It was a close game until the last quarter when reserve forward Eddie Tuneski tossed in a few hoops. Many fouls were called during the contest and players from both sides were forced to leave the game. Trailing 21-19 going into the final period, the Tigers found the range with Fred Sloan and Jim Wetmore tossing in long set shots to help win a 35-24 victory over Norwich. Norwich played the entire game with only the five starters. Bulkeley went right to work on Windham at the starting whistle and tallied ten points while holding Windham scoreless the first period. Bob Rockholz and Ed Tuneski contributed 14 and 10 points respectively, as Bulkeley completed overpowered Windham 50-19. In their next encounter, the Tigers went wild and heavily outscored Stonington 73-31. Fred Sloan, showed Stonington his specialty, set shots, and scored 18 points. Bulkeley got off to a flying start and scored 25 points the first quarter, and from then on had complete control of the situation. Bulkeley next won its fourth straight Eastern Connecticut Conference victory, and tied the all-time Bulkeley record of eight consecutive wins by defeating Chapman Tech, 35-21. Frank Vickery and Nick Woviotis paced the Bulkeley team with 11 and 8 points respectively. At the end of the first half, Bulkeley held the narrow margin of 13-11 over the Huskies, but in the third quarter Bulkeley outscored their opponents 10-1 to put the game on ice. The Tigers, in their next encounter, broke the previous Bulkeley mark of eight consecutive wins set by the 1938-39 five, by downing Fitch, 44-24. It was no easy victory Co-Captain R. Rockholz N.

Coach O’Brien alternated fifteen players while trying different combinations. Tuneski and Rockholz led the attack by accounting for half the points. Hartford Public was Bulkeley’s next victim, as the Tigers easily sewed up the game, 58-28. Jim Wetmore, substituting for the ailing Co-Captain Tom Dorsey, played a particularly brilliant game by scoring 11 points, and by constantly breaking up Hartford’s passes. Sloan again showed his uncanny accuracy by accounting for 15 points. Before 800 people in Norwich’s Norton gym, the Bengals managed to nose out a 29-27 win over a determined Norwich team. Fred Sloan’s two foul shots in the final two minutes of play gave Bulkeley the decision, after a thrilling last quarter which saw the lead change three times. Bob Rockholz, whose defensive play was excellent, accounted for eight points to be high scorer. The Tigers next traveled to Bridgeport where they suffered their first defeat of the season at the hands of Bassick, 30-18. Bob Rockholz and Tom Wetmore were the only Bulkeley men to score, Rockholz getting 13 points and Wetmore getting 5. Two guards, Ritchel and Meikle of Bassick, gave the Bengals an eyeful of fancy ball-handling, as they froze the ball almost the entire last quarter. the services of three regulars, Bulkeley clinched the Conference title by a score ol 45-39 over Stonington. Escott Smith, replacing Fred Sloan who left school, scored ten points and set up Rockholz under the basket with his brilliant one-handed passes through the bucket. Anthony Nassetta, replacing the injured Co-Captain Frank Vickery, played a fine defensive game by holding Stonington’s star Walter Rausmussen to nine points. Bulkeley, using fourteen players, easily routed Fitch to win their 13th game in four- A. Maginnis V. Archer J. Sullivan A. Xassetta teen starts, 52-14. Jim Wetmore started the scoring and tallied eleven points, as the Tanagers failed to score a point in the first quarter. Frank Vickery, Jr., who returned to the lineup after his injury in the Bassick game totaled 14 points and was constantly taking the ball off the backboard. The Bengals took their 9th straight Conference win by overpowering Windham, 55-37. The victory was hard fought, however, as the Bengals got off to a slow start and Windham held a 19-12 lead in the middle of the second period. Then the Tigers turned on the heat, and by the end of the first half the score read 28-23 in favor of the Orange and Black. Rockholz was the high man for Bulkeley with 18 points. In their next contest, the Tigers defeated Tech, 59-35, to make a clean sweep of their conference schedule. Bulkeley climbed into a 13-3 lead in the first four minutes, and outclassed their local rivals all the way. Frank Vickery, Bob Rockholz, and Nick Woviotis, each found the mark for 12 points apiece. The Tigers next played a benefit game against a group of All Stars from the Eastern Connecticut Conference. Taking the lead early in the first quarter, the Bulkeley Five ran away with a 59-39 decision over their opponents. Tom Wetmore and Escott Smith were high scorers, the former with 14 points and the latter with 10. With fine pass work by Escott Smith and Jim Wetmore, Bulkeley routed Billard Academy by the score of 82-19. Billard hopped away to a 5-2 lead in the first three minutes, but then Bulkeley put on the steam with a steady scoring rampage which allowed many of the jayvees an opportunity to play. With the fine record of only one loss in eighteen games, the Bulkeley Five travelled to New Haven to compete in the State Tournament. Their first opponent was West Haven, which they finally downed 36-29. Bulkeley jumped away to a lead of 23-6 the first half, but then West Haven rallied till the score read 31-29 Bulkeley’s favor, with only 55 seconds to play. However, Tom Wetmore, intercepted a West Haven pass giving Bulkeley the ball and paving the way for five more Bulkeley points. Advancing into the quarter-finals of the Connecticut State Basketball Tournament, Bulkeley was defeated at the hands of Stamford by the margin of 43-35. Bulkeley, without the services of Frank Vickery, who was suffering from the flu, was finally worn down by the bigger Stamford team, which later went to the finals. At the end of the first half the Bengals enjoyed a lead of 26-17, but it was apparent that the team was tiring. The Tigers held on until three and three-quarter minutes remained before the Golden Bears’ star forward dropped a goal to give his team a 34-33 edge. From then on the issue was never in doubt and Stamford gathered nine more points to the Tigers two. Players lost by graduation were: Co-Capts. Rockholz, Vickery, and Dorsey; and Woviotis, Tuneski, and Nassetta. Rockholz and Vickery were named to the all-conference team. The team was managed by Bob Murray. Escott Smith and Jim Wetmore were elected co-captains for the 1943-44 season. THE SQUAD T R A C K TRACK 1943 The 1943 Bulkeley Track Team made its first appearance in the Eastern Connecticut Conference Meet against Chapman Tech, Billard Academy, and Norwich. Bulkeley piled up a good score in the running contests, but was very weak in the jumps and field events, and finished second behind Chapman Tech. Tom Rogers, Bulkeley speedster, won first places in the 100, 220, and 440-yard events, and was the high scorer of the meet. Bulkeley also took first place honors in the 880 and mile run, as Jerome Bronitsky led the distance runners to the tape. Tom Rogers again led the Bulkeley trackmen by taking three firsts, as Bulkeley outscored Admiral Billard 68-38. Other Bulkeley winners were Slate, who won the half, Bronitsky, who won the mile, and Gorra. in the weights. Belcher, Whitten, Brown, McEnaney, Sharaf, and Dixon, were the other scorers. The Bengals next met Pratt High in Essex where they were defeated 57-44. Due to a mix-up in auto transportation arrangements, Captain Jerome Bronitsky and sprint star. Tom Rogers, were left behind. Escott Smith of Bulkeley took individual honors, winning the 100 and 220 yard dashes and tying for first place in the pole vault and high jump. Fred Whitten won the half mile run and Joe Gorra took first honors in the javelin throw and the shot put. Other Bulkeley scorers were McEnaney, Cohen, and Belcher. Coach Joseph Stetson First Row: Coach Stetson; Mgr. Rogoff; Smith; S. Hendel; Rogers; Bronitsky; Slate; Sharaf; B. Brown; Asst. Coach Jenkins. Second Row: Broad well; D. Belcher; Roche; Cohen; McEnaney; Whitten; C. Brown; Dixon; Cullen. Bulkeley next entered the Connecticut State Meet and placed sixth in a large field. Tom Rogers took a first in the quarter mile, by running the distance in 53.3 seconds and placed second in the 100-yard dash. The only other Bulkeley men who placed were Escott Smith, who took a third in the 220-yard dash, after winning his preliminary heat, and Captain Jerome Bronitsky, who captured second place in the mile run, despite a torn leg tendon. In the final meet of the season, the Tigers were defeated 55 4 to 48V2 by Chapman Tech at Morgan Park. Tom Rogers won the 100, 220, and 440-yard dashes and took third in the discus to be again Bulkeley’s high scorer. Bulkeley also won the half mile and mile run, Jerome Bronitsky leading the pack home in both events. However, Bulkeley was very weak in the field events, as Tech’s giant, Fred Weyant, gobbled up first place in the weight events against Bulkeley’s Joe Gorra. This was the final track season at Bulkeley for Captain Bronitsky, Tom Rogers, Joe Gorra, and Jay Cohen who are now in the armed forces. 1 Coach George Jenkins J. Bronitsky F. Whitten B. Brown . . Cohen CROSS-COUNTRY Captained by Fred Whitten, the 1943 Harriers opened their season by bowing to the Coast Guard Academy in a practice meet, 21-34. The Bulke-ley scorers were Burton Brown, Fred Whitten, Vincent Archer, James McEnaney, and Robert Murray. Admiral Billard was the Tigers’ next opponent, and with Whitten leading the pack home, Bulkeley emerged victors, 20-35. The other scorers were B. Brown, Archer, McEnaney, and C. Brown. Next the Stonington Harriers, led by Vincent Faulise, who took first place, downed Bulkeley by the narrow margin of 26-29. In second place was Burton Brown, and the other scorerers were Whitten, who finished third, Murray, fifth; Sharaf, tenth; and H. Brown, thirteenth. In return meet, Bulkeley again beat Billard, 24-31. Fred Whitten and Burt Brown finished one-two, ahead of R. Murray, D. Wheeler, and E. Sharaf. For their next run, the Tigers went to the State Meet at Storrs, Conn. Manchester was top school, while Bulkeley finished seventh in a field consisting of 75 competitors from eleven of the best squads in the State. The first Bulkeley man to finish was Burton Brown, 15th. Fred Whitten placed 18th; followed by Bob Murray, 27th; Vincent Archer, 45th; and Don Wheeler, 56th. The team closed its season with the Eastern Connecticut Conference Meet, November 19, over the 2.5 mile Bulkeley course. The meet was won by Stonington with 28 points. The Tigers were second, with 48; Norwich third, 50; and Billard fourth, with 102. Bulkeley placed as follows: B. Brown, 3rd; F. Whitten, 6th; R. Murray, 8th; D. Wheeler, 13th; and C. Brown, 18th. Seniors who ran their last race were: Captain Fred Whitten, Burton Brown, Robert Murray, Earl Sharaf, and Charles Brown. The team this fall was coached by George H. Jenkins, and it was his first season as the Cross-Country Coach. The Student Manager was John Pica. Vincent Archer was elected Captain for the 1944 season. First Row: Archer; Murray; Whitten; B. Brown; Sharaf. Second Row: H. Brown; C. Brown; McEnaney; Wheeler; Goldwasser; Coach Jenkins. I TENNIS Captained by Dick Morgan, the Bulkeley 1943 Tennis Team played a schedule of only two matches with Norwich. The schedule originally had many more teams on it, but because of war time conditions it had to be curtailed. - The Tiger netmen first travelled to the Academy where they won the match, 5-2. Art Barnes, playing number 1 for Bulkeley beat Norwich’s ace in the feature match. The other Bulkeley winners were Dick Morgan and Dave Fowler. In a return match the Bengals again were victors by the same score of 5-2. Winners in the single matches were Art Barnes. Escott Smith, Dave Fowler, and Bob Murray. The Tigers got their other point when Art Barnes and Escott Smith teamed to beat the two top Norwich men in one of the doubles matches. Escott Smith and Dave Fowler were elected co-captains for the 1944 team. Top Row: Coach Maginnis; Morgan; Fowler. Bottom Row: Smith; Murray; Barnes. Coach Joseph Silva FRESHMAN BASKETBALL The Freshman basketball team won thirteen of fourteen games and proved itself to be one of the best we ever had. With the exception of Dave Mulcahy, who successfully controlled the center tap for us, the squad was small, fast, and clever. Clark, Blatchford and McNamara were a high scoring trio of forwards, and Carey, Moore, and Scialabba were outstanding in the guard positions. We opened w'ith a 38-23 win over a good Harbor School team and followed this with a victory over the Y. M. C. A. leaders, 43-21. The Veal Cutlers were defeated 48-25 and we won from the Norwich freshmen at Norwich for the ninth straight time 44-24. Our first game with Tech at the Y. M. C. A. was a real thriller, but a costly foul with only a few seconds to go enabled Tech to tie the score. In the overtime period they outscored us 5-4, and we lost our only game, 34-33. The Graeco-American A. C. gave us trouble but we won 41-37 and followed this with a victory over the Super-Five, 59-42. The Y. M. C. A. leaders were beaten once more 33-24 and the New' London Aces were set back, 53-32. The Groton Eagles were bigger and older but wre won 51-39 and Harbor School was our next winning effort, 48-34. The Ramblers lost to us 51-37 and our twelfth win w'as over the All-Stars 55-43. Our last game w'as against Tech. This was equally as exciting as our first game w'ith them, but this time they did not catch us. We built up an early lead, held it in the third quarter, and successfully countered a Tech rally in the last quarter to w'in 30-26 for our thirteenth victory. I FRESHMAN BASEBALL A tight infield, a good battery, plus heads up baseball enabled this weak hitting Freshman team to have an undefeated season. Seven games were won and none were lost. We opened against Carlson’s Stars and made four runs on four hits and won as Dave Mulcahy shut out the opposition. Jim Sullivan then pitched us to a 4-2 win over Jordan School. The Veal Cutlers proved really tough as Ronald Morgan, of last years Freshman team, allowed us only one hit. Heads up base running on two fielder’s choices in the last inning, however, gave us a 2-1 victory. Mulcahy pitched for us. Our fourth win win was over the Wolves, 7-0, as Jim Sullivan shut them out. Our fifth victory was over the Rebels and this was another last inning thriller. Mulcahy drove in the winning run and pitched a six hit ball game as we won 3-2. We closed our season with a two game series against Harbor School and won both games by scores of 9-4 and 6-3. Page ninety-nine INTRAMURAL SPORTS Intramural activities were somewhat curtailed during the past school year owing to the fact that many boys were working after school in defense jobs. The earlier dismissal of school and the difficulties involved in finding a suitable playing field for touchfootball games were also determining factors in arranging a modified schedule. At present writing, the cup defenders in the school are Rooms 15, 16, and 24. Room 15 is still in possession of the touchfootball trophy. Room 16 won top honors in a spirited volleyball contest. Room 24 defended successfully for the third consecutive year the basketball cup. In addition, Room 24 won the annual post-season basketball tilt for the third consecutive year against the Norwich Free Academy All-Stars in a game which featured a 34-21 score. During the season 1943-1944, Intramurals are under the guidance of Mr. George Jenkins. The coming schedules call for competition in basketball, volleyball, softball, and baseball. Room 24 School Champions Page one hundred ACTIVITIES MASQUE AND GAVEL Masque and Gavel is a national high school organization devoted to the promotion of the use of better speech. To accomplish this purpose the members engage in dramatics, panel discussions, debates, and open forums. Pledgees are recommended by their English teachers if they show the ability to express themselves clearly and effectively. During the year three one-act plays were given for service men in the various camps and U. S. O.’s in the vicinity by Masque and Gavel with the aid of the Drama Club of W. M. I. A three-act play was given in the Spring by Masque and Gavel in co-operation with the Drama Club of W. M. I. Four assemblies were sponsored by Masque and Gavel this spring. Officers for the year were Robert Kirschenbaum, president; William Kimball, vice president, Joseph Lopes, secretary-treasurer and Robert Kaplan, sergeant-at-arms. The following sophomores and juniors were pledged this spring: William Stanners, Aaron Silverman, Robert Cullen, Thomas Rouse, Charles Boone, and Donald Hirsch. Page one hundred two I THE STUDENT COUNCIL The war-time school schedule has somewhat cramped the activities of Bulkeley’s unique Student Government, but with the installation of the following officers they have gotten off to a fine start. John Toohey, president; Escott Smith, vice president; and James McEnaney, secretary. The Council is composed of one member from each room in the school, and representatives from every other student organization in the school. As has been mentioned, the activities of the Council have been limited, but several noteworthy accomplishments have been attained; the most notable of which have been the restoring of the pre-war exam schedule, and the daily schedule which omits the lunch period and results in one o’clock dismissal. And more recently, the passing of a motion which prohibits members of Varsity or Junior-Varsity Basketball squads to quit, in order to participate in Intramural Basketball. The Council shall strive in the future, as in the past, to continue representing the Bulkeley Students to the utmost of its ability. Page one hundred three THE JUNIOR WHALER ASSISTANTS The Junior Whaler Assistants are an established part of the Whaler organization. These hard-working boys deserve a great deal of credit for their untiring and ceaseless efforts on behalf of the “Whaler”. Each year they are the ones who solicit for the advertisements and sell the book to the school. The overwhelming success of this year’s advertising section is, in no small way, due to these boys. ALPHA H I - Y The Bulkeley Hi-Y of this year is comparatively small, consisting of about twenty-eight members. A change was made from last year’s selfadvisory system. We have returned to the old and more satisfactory plan of having a faculty advisor. This year he is Mr. P. Henry Shay. This year the club has sponsored several dances and has done many patriotic chores. During the meetings interesting speakers are heard and general discussions are carried on. “Art” Maginnis was elected president of the club for the first half year; Harvey Mallove, vice president; “Ig” Ramus, secretary; and Don Slate, treasurer. At mid-term elections, Bill Ealahan was chosen president; Bob Murray, vice president; James McCarthy, secretary; Tillie Daniels, treasurer; and Jim Wetmore, Sergeant-at-Arms. THE BULKELEY SERENADERS The Bulkeley Serenaders came to life again this fall and played for our Minstrel Show. Although most of the boys play professionally several nights a week, they gave us two nights of fine music for the show. It is hoped that we may get together a fine “Stage Show” for some time in the spring. Page one hundred four JUNIOR WHALER ASSISTANTS ALPHA HI-Y THE BULKELEY SERENADERS THE BULKELEY GLEE CLUB Since 1938 the Glee Club has been a well-organized and extraordinary group of male voices. This year the membership is not very large but the quality is excellent. The group has rehearsed faithfully several times a week and taken part in assembly programs. In previous years some of its members have sung in music festivals held in New England cities. Our Glee Club also appears in various musical programs in New London and visits local military training bases. Early in December it took part in a Christmas program given by the Rotary Club. With much credit going to Danny Small, the Glee Club furnished the musical talent for the Fall Minstrel Show and expects to put on a similar program in April. Howard T. Pierce Page one hundred six I THE BULKELEY BAND The Bulkeley Band, now in its sixteenth year of existence and under the direction of Howard T. Pierce, plays a very important part in the extracurricular activities program at Bulkeley. Many of the older players graduated last year, but the new material is fast finding its place in the organization. While providing entertainment for the school as a whole, it also gives the band members the experience and pleasure of playing in an organization that is designed to aid them in appreciating their hobby; and in some cases their career. In the past our band has traveled to the different cities to take part in various musical festivals. It has always been an outstanding member or the All-New England Festival, of which organization, Mr. Pierce is president. Besides playing for the football games, the band participates in local and nearby town parades. Although the war has limited the possibilities of a Music Festival this year, it is hoped that some kind of a joint program can be arranged before the close of school. In any event, the annual concert of the Bulkeley Musical Organizations will be held the first week in May. For the first time in its twenty years the Bulkeley orchestra has failed to function. The reason—no strings. This has happened all over the country so it is not a local condition. It is sincerely hoped that some violin and cello players will be coming along in the near future so that our work in this field can continue. SONG HITS Thanks for the Dream ...................
