YOUR BULKELEY AND OURS Twenty-five years ago! To you young men who comprise the Class of 1945 it seems like a lifetime, but to the men who graduated in 1920 it seems but yesterday. Great events have sifted through the sands in the hour- glass of time since that eventful evening when twenty-eight young men sat on the stage of the Church House of the Second Congregational Church, anxiously awaiting their turn to receive their coveted diplomas. Upon receipt of the diplomas Bulkeley was our Alma Mater and never again would we enter its portals as a part of the student body. The Bulkeley School which meant so much to all of us, consisted of one granite building with a belfry, standing on a plot of ground bounded by Granite, Huntington and Richard Streets and Bulkeley place. We had no gymnasium in which to have our basketball games and gym classes but were privileged to use the facilities of our local Y. M. C. A. We had no auditorium in which to hold our dances or present our plays. However, there was the Lyceum Theatre, and whenever an amateur performance was givenone could always find a few of the boys showing their Thespian qualifications to an appreciative audience. We had a football team, and one that We were justly proud of, but no athletic field. Our team prac- ticed on the front lawn of the school and any afternoon during the fall season one could find a group of the fellows sitting on the rail fence that surrounded the school, giving encouragement to the team while it received instructions from our coach. How we would have appreciated all these facilities but in our time it was just a faint hope in our minds that some day they might be a reality. This undoubtedly seems a drab existence to you young men, but Bulkeley School was just as close to our hearts as it now is to yours, for in those days there existed the same comradeship between the fellows, the same consid- eration of faculty members for the students and the same thought in the minds of us all, that Bulkeley was our school. I should like to pay tribute to four members of the faculty of Bulkeley school during our years, Mr. Walter A. Towne, Mr. Eugene B. Lawrence, Mr. Clarence E. Norris, and Frau Adelaide Moll. These instructors gener- ously gave us their helpful ministrations and kind consideration. Many of our better qualities we owe to them. We left Bulkeley enthusiastically and confidently certain that we could take our places in the world, whether it be professionally or in the business field. I am proud of my classmates for their accomplishments during the last twenty-five years for they have given faithfully of their ability and courage to aid their country and fellow man. It is with sincerity and pride that the Class of 1920 grasps your hands and welcomes you to our Alma Mater. Many of you are entering the ser- vices of your country and our prayers are for your safe return. When the clouds of this troubled world clear and the dawn of a new era breaks on the horizon we shall await you there to take your places with the rest of us in perpetuating the name of that school so dear to all of us--Bulkeley.
