YEARBOOK OF BULKELEY SCHOOL NEW LONDON TERCENTENARY May 6,1646 May 6, 1946 John Winthrop, the founder, was the son of John Winthrop who led from England the second Puritan emigration and afterwards became governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. His paternal grandfather was Adam Winthrop, ol' Suffolk, England. To the younger Winthrop undisputably belongs the title of founder of New London, for he determined the location of the town and promoted its inception with fervor and confidence, even to the extent of investing his entire fortune in the enterprise. He was born in England, February 12th, 1605. When only 16 years of age he entered the University of Dublin, where he remained for three years. Two years later he enlisted under the banner of the Duke of Buckingham in the useless attempt to succor the Protestants of Rochelle, France. He first arrived in America, November 2nd, 1630, later returning to England, where he remained for about one year. In October, 1635, he again came to America and at once interested himself in the affairs of the colonists. The name first given to New London—its Indian name—was Nameaug. Indian names were descriptive, and Nameaug was supposed to refer to fish, implying that the waters about the town afforded good fishing. It was also known as Pequot, after the tribe of Indians of that name, who under the Sachem Sassacus, or Totobam, as he was often called, inhabited the region which lay to the southeast of the Connecticut River settlements. By these the plantation was known until March 24th, 1658, when legislative permission was granted the inhabitants to call the town New London. For ten years previous to that time they had wished to show their affection for the land of their birth by naming their new place of abode London, in honor of England’s principal city; and no doubt they were highly gratified by this concession of the Legislature. It was then in order to name “the fair river of the Mo-hegans” the Thames, but at just what date it derived the name, bestowed in honor of its famous prototype in England, is not certain. The earliest inhabitants of New London came from Cape Ann, Massachusetts, Gloucester people to whom the sea furnished a living, and to whom New London seemed homelike in that respect at least. —“New London Beautiful” Ye Okie Winthrop Mill JOHN WINTHROP II Founder of New London, May 6, 1646 Governor of Connecticut 1657-1659; 1676 Charter of Connecticut procured by him from Charles II, April 23, 1662 DEDICATION E the class of 1946 wish to express our gratitude to Mr. G. Laurens Attwill of our faculty for his sympathetic understanding and interest in the many problems which confront us in the various aspects of our school life. He is a friend and a teacher whose patience delights us; whose firm kindness holds us to the highest endeavor; whose loyal devotion to his task challenges us to creative efforts. These splendid attributes have won for him our esteem and devotion. ▲ A ▲ A IN MEMORIAM MR. CLARENCE E. NORRIS Our Bulkeley School flag, today, is at half-mast as we as a school mourn the passing of one of our most beloved teachers. The keen sorrow which all of us feel who have known Mr. Clarence Norris is manifesting itself all about us. The name of Mr. Clarence Norris will remain forever enshrined in the heax-ts and minds of our faculty, students, and his countless friends. He was loved by all who knew him. Mr. Clarence Norris was more than just a teacher, more than just an interesting person, he was a living example of a hard working, enthusiastic teacher and advisor who attained the highest success in his chosen profession because of his high scholarly attainments, personality and his many other commendable endowments. There was not a single scar, or stain in his character. There was never a sign of weakness of will, nor any mean or selfish tendencies in his nature. His splendid personality and his remarkable mental attainments placed him in the foreground of our school life. In spite of all of these traits, Mr. Norris was unostentatious and never pretending in mood, work, or deed. His character from the beginning to the end of his long service at Bulkeley was most exemplary. He bore his virtues without any semblance of superiority or ever to point out the weakness or failing of others. The faculty and students always found him to be friendly, sympathetic, and cooperative in everything that was wholesome and worthwhile. In the language of William Cullen Bryant, in his great elegiac poem: “So live, that when the summons comes to join The innumerable caravan, that moves To that mysterious realm, where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death, Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave, Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.” Thus did Clarence Norris, at Sunday midday, clad in the robes of love and respect of his fellowmen, slip away into Life Everlasting. Death to him was not a fearsome prospect, but something to be met with courage and cheer. He lived nobly; of the earth, earthly; and as the spirit, saintly. Like Mr. Chips, he died with the long caravan of his Bulkeley boys engraved upon his heart: to him they were like members of his own family in whom he placed his trust that they will forever sustain and advance the interests of our Alma Mater. Go forth, Gallant Knight, Galahad of Bulkeley School, farewell, Friend of a generation of Bulkeley men: Vale, Bone Amice “Home is the sailor, home from the sea, And the hunter home from the hill.” A A Page thirteen ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ houglzh on Ofrmlsllce CDaij We need not weep now for the noble dead; Today they care not for our tears or praise; Whilst clouds and storms sweep bleakly overhead, They sleep secure through peaceful nights and days. Their dust lies mute; but they in one lone day Lived more than finite life can ever know, And found, that moment when they slipped away, A glorious dawn, o’erspread with Peace’s glow. Why should we weep? Instead, we need their tears, We men who fret and strive in petty pain, While they, who tossed away their hope of years, Strove once, gave full need never strive again. No, they well know the dreams for which they bled; We need not weep now for the noble dead. G. H. Rundle A TRIBUTE 1 watched the tide that rippled from the sea That brought our boys to war, and home again And as I watched a thought was brought to me About those boys who’ll never become men. Out of the night—a shell Out of the dark—a cry Out of the body that fell A soul soars to the sky. I walked through halls so bare and unconcerned One ne’er could tell that they had lost a friend But halls to which these boys have now returned Are corridors of time that never end. Decay shall claim the swords that maim, And rust shall steal the crown. But now their name’s with those of fame, And none shall take them down. They walk the golden halls. They’ve earned their keep. And yet, above, they seem to understand For now the oceans whisper of their sleep That, “It was they for whom the heav’n was planned. Owen Thomas ’46 ▲ ▲ F O R E ;; WORD ▲ ▲ (JZ HAT is more pleasant than a memory? Time may yellow the pages of the book of life or make the eyes blear and unseeing; but time makes memory more vivid, in early life man lives in the future: in later years he recalls past experiences and in old age he lives wholly in the past. Our lives are conditioned by our many experiences or those of others that have been transmitted to us through the pages of history. Also, there comes a time in the life of every man when he feels the real richness of what he is and begins to recognize the dignity in simplicity—when he pauses a while to relive in thought with an air of pride and satisfaction those years he spent in preparation for what he has become. This book is compiled to help you to recall those treasured moments whether it be the trials, toils and friendships that helped to make you what you are. May it always afford a channel for your thoughts as you reminisce through the life of your cherished school days at Bulkeley.

SILVA PRESIDENT BULKELEY IN 1921 By Willis James Snow On a bright June clay in 1921 I sat on the ground with my back against a weathered headstone in “Ye Towne’s Ancientest Burial Place” and attempted to memorize my commencement oration. As I talked to the dust of generations long since gone, I was not heckled by my gravely silent audience. The languor-inducing spring sunshine, the cherubic adornments surmounting the elegies, the history-radiating, little, red schoolhouse in which the patriot, Nathal Hale, taught,—all these were resistless influences to cause the mind to wander from the immediate task. The leaves of time turn backward only in reminiscence. Again I saw our large class of gangling freshmen confronted by the vagaries and pitfalls of Latin, algebra, and the like; our smaller class of sophomores wrestling with geometry and languages; our still dwindling class of juniors who had delved in dramatics and participated in sports; and now, at last, our small but valiant band of seniors about to graduate. I thought how some of us had gathered during recesses to work out original geometry problems while others used the time for practical jokes or the display of gymnastic prowess. It was distinctly a boy’s school in those days and we had interested ourselves in those things which are particularly appealing to young and lusty males. We had been subjected to a very brief, and almost ludicrous, course of military training; we had had the temerity to bring the entire combined Yale banjo, mandolin, and glee clubs to New London for a concert; and, finally, we had been expelled en masse for our boisterous behavior at Bulke-ley and our success in upsetting the equanimity of W. M. I. when the end of the great war was announced. Subsequently we were all duly reinstated for there had to be a class to graduate in 1921. As I dreamed of happy days just passed how could I know then that Bulkeley School is not a mass of stone and mortar, is not a succession of classes and courses, nor is even a combination of these things and extracurricular activities. It required the mill of time to grind the grist of truth. I know now that Bulkeley is people. It is my classmates and those members of classes which have gone before and those which are yet to come. It is the professors who strove so conscientiously to fit us for the activities of life and to whom we owe the greatest tribute. It is these—all of these and only these—who constitute that which we know as Bulkeley School. While we of the Class of 1921 were still in school the war to end all wars had been concluded with the cry, “It must never happen again”. But it did happen again—only more inclusive and more destructive. It reached into the very walls of old Bulkeley and some of you who are members of the Class of 1946 were involved in that most sanguinary, global struggle known as World War II. It, too, has come to an end with a universal cry for lasting peace. But until men learn to know and respect each other—until they learn to covet one another’s friendship rather than one another’s power and possessions—until they fully realize that they must work together in all things—shoulder to shoulder—“one for all and all for one”—there can be no lasting peace. For peace depends on spiritual values—not on physical things. The Class of 1921 salutes the Class of 1946 and all succeeding classes. Your obligations and your opportunities are boundless. Your responsibilities are numerous and extremely weighty. The survival of humanity depends upon you and men like you. You can not fail—you must not fail. You WILL succeed—for now and always you are Men of Bulkeley. Page twenty-four |nr CLASS OF 1921 • • Front Row: Jacob Merims, Harold J.

Your successful high school days, about to come to a close, have been, for the most part, war-days, and, as you entered Bulkeley in September of 1942, it was already realized that we, as a Nation, were in for a long, hard struggle. Such contemplations as you may have had at that time, such ambitions as you may have possessed, even earlier in your lives, certainly must have been tempered and modified, if not entirely altered and shattered by thoughts of the scene ahead. We who experienced a peace-time secondary school training must not be unmindful of the inevitable effects that such an outlook as you inherited could have on your high school days. The future, to you, must have looked full of dark, foreboding question marks, and we who attempt rationalization are not too disturbed at finding, at this point, a relatively small number of boys with a fixed purpose in mind concerning their immediate training or other plans beyond high school. It is the hope of most educators that the law-makers of the land will see all too clearly the definite need of well-trained leaders for post-war reconstruction. May they also have the vision to see the extreme importance of allowing all graduates of 1946 a continuous opportunity to immediately take up that desired training which will, as a result, generate and produce that needed leadership. Whatever becomes your lot—it is almost a certainty that it can not be war —we here at Bulkeley are pulling hard for you, earnestly wishing for you the best of success and good fortune in all you attempt. We also want you to know, as you leave us, that we deeply appreciate all the valuable contributions you of the Class of 1946 have made to the forward progress and general growth of our beloved Alma Mater. One of the accepted goals in our educational program here at Bulkeley is to aid in the developing of a high degree of personal responsibility. We hope we have done this for you, for, without such, one’s progress is not forward, with it one goes far. As a class you have well lived up to the first part of a well-known school motto, “Enter to learn”, now our challenge to you is to equally regard and care for the latter part of the same motto, “Go Forth to Serve.” All power to the class of ’46, and God-speed. Herbert H. Archibald. Abraham Lincoln Speaks What is this talk on every hand I hear? This alien babble of distrust and fear? Is-this the language of my native land? Is this the spirit of the pioneer? Hark, f rom the din of voices one sure voice That cries: Take heed, my people, and rejoice! I am your free, unconquerable sold: Choose in my name; you have no clearer choice! Pluck up your hearts, and be you undismayed! Your fathers flinched not; shall you be afraid? A brave new rvorld is rising from the ruins: Build it and say, “Here is the ivorld we made!” Joseph Auslander. THE WHALER Page thirty-eight SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On a bright, sunny day in September, 1942, we entered the doors of Bulke-ley as Freshmen. If we had time to philosophize, we might have come to the conclusion that the cheerfulness of the day gave promise to a bright future for us. But we had time for no such thoughts. Soon, we were organized as a class and elected as officers: President, Roland Farina; Vice-President, Victor Sargeant, and Secretary-Treasurer, Warren Patterson. We didn’t contribute too much to Bulkeley life that first year. A few of our members joined the band and dramatic clubs. We discovered a few among us who had real scholastic ability. We turned out a “darned good basketball team and our baseball team was undefeated in nine starts. In our second year we began to “come into our own”. For that year, we chose as class officers: President, Roland Farina; Vice-President, Victor Sargeant, and Secretary-Treasurer, John O’Grady. The band began to depend more on our members. The various dramatic clubs recruited more of our classmates. The scholastic ability of our class was beginning to be recognized. Our members began to “shine” on the athletic field. In our Junior year, we were a real force in Bulkeley. A large part of the band was composed of our members. Our class had a very large share in the athletic achievements of Bulkeley. Our Prom was a social success. Our officers for that year were: President, Alfred Clark; Vice-President, Ray Sa-wicki; Secretary, John O’Grady, and Treasurer, John Kelly. This is our last year in Bulkeley. We are the recognized leaders of the school. The underclassmen look up to us for guidance and leadership. We are, by courtesy, the backbone of the school. It is up to us to see that the standards of Bulkeley are kept high in the eyes of outsiders. We must, and shall, do all in our power to keep the prestige of Bulkeley high. We are proud of Bulkeley and we shall make Bulkeley proud of us, the class of 1946. To lead us toward our goal we have chosen as officers: Alfred Clark, President; Ray Sawicki, Vice-President; Allyn Day, Secretary, and Joe Carey, Treasurer. 1946 Page thirty-nine SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY I woke up from my 50 year sleep to see New London in 1996. Naturally I went to see Mayor Sheehan who was telling Commissioner Daren that Bulkeley was on strike for soap and towels in the washroom. Patrolman McGuire took me on a tour of the town in his Vine-Williams automobile. The first spot we passed was Carchidi’s Reducing Gym and we saw Arnie Bernstein coming out. He said he had just received the title of the most perfectly developed man after a close race with Resnik and Benois. We then passed governorship candidate Clark who was trying to convince Redington and Jones that the Governor didn’t have to have a crop of hair. Percy leaned across his ash barrel to say that he had just come from McNamara’s beauty parlor where head-barber Pressey had just grown hair on Barrett. We then passed Hansen’s hothouse where Officers T. Ryan and Spaulding were arresting Zarate and Sullivan for breaking windows. Stanton came out, covered with fertilizer so we started running. We bumped into All-American Clemens and Postmaster Farina who were carrying John M. Mallon, XVIII, out of Pierfederici Hall after he tried to crash the “Wall Boys’ ” party. “Waskowitz” O’Grady had just been flown in from New Britain (they loved him there) by pilot Hall, who could squeeze into the plane while head-pilot Sawicki couldn’t. We were overcome by the sound of “boo’s” from H. Ryan’s moviehouse where Hirsch, Chandler and Lucas were appearing in Poet Laureate Dickinson’s “The Return of Sitty”. On stage was Cullen’s Orchestra featuring Massey and Fishkin, and Magician Roy and his trained seals—S. Bernstein and Shepard, who told us that Day and Carey had tied for “rookie of the year” in baseball. We stopped at My Hendel’s bank where auditors Gorman and Fisher have just proved that Mort Hendel and Ableman had embezzled $5,000. Drawn by a strange noise we wound up at Meyer’s Night Club where the trio of Sen-sion, Robertson and Rouse were singing the latest hit song, “My Last Year With the Whaler”. Head bouncer Schofield threw Keeney right into the middle of Bergerson’s and O’Mara’s crap game in which they were using the new $3 bills with the picture of our 40th President, Thomas, on them. Disgusted with the whole situation I dashed into Lena’s Hospital and asked him to send me back to sleep for another 50 years. THE WHALER Pave forty ABLEMAN, LESTER “Les College Intramurals 1; Potpourri 1; French Club 3, 4, President 4; Junior Math Prize. “Les” is the first of our class alphabetically, and he is always one of the first on the honor roll. He is one of the staunchest supporters of the Orange Black and can always be seen kicking around in that car (?) of his. He gets along easily with everybody and has made a million friends. We expect “Les” to keep his first place all the way through life. BARRETT, JAMES Red” College Baseball 4; Football 4; Intramural Sports 4. “Red” came to us this year from Texas and easily fell right in line—and way up front! “Pinky” stepped into a football first-string berth and lunch room monitor position. “Jim’s” slow humor has also made him popular at W. M. I. He would like to be a Coast Guard Officer, and with his determination and personality he’s bound to succeed. BENOIS, GEORGE “George” College Potpourri 1; French Club 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 4; Sketch Club 4; Minstrel Show 1, 3; Orchestra 1; Junior English Composition Prize; Whaler Assistant 3, Art Editor 4. “George” is our connoisseur of the arts—especially the piano. Many is the time we have thrilled to his “Fire Dance” and enjoyed his “Varga” girls. He has quite a list of activities and is the Art Editor of this year’s Whaler. We know a lot will come from “George’s” educated fingers. BERGERSON, PAUL “Berg” College Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3, 4; French Club 3, 4; Football 2. “Paul” has done quite a lot in his short four years at Bulkeley, but we understand he has done even more at W. M. I. His love affair has brought him considerable renown. We wish “Berg” the best of luck in his chosen profession for we know he has nothing else to worry about. You’re bound to get along well, “Berg”.

Our little boy with the likeable personality is a definite go-getter. If “Arnie” wants something that doesn’t exist, he makes it! “Arnie’s” secret lies in the fact that although he’s only half as tall, he talks twice as fast as anybody. Keep talking, “Arnie”, and people will always admire you. BERNSTEIN, SEYMOUR “Sey” College Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; French Club 3; Football 1, 2. “Sey” is another of Bulkeley’s staunch defenders. He hasn’t attracted too much attention except with his jokes. He has succeeded in eluding the faculty in the standard Bulkeley fashion, and has not been a grind. “Sey” will get along favorably in this world of ours, and we expect him to be a credit to Bulkeley and especially to the Class of ’46. CARCHIDI, PETER “Carch” College Football 2, 3, 4; Intramurals 2, 3, 4; Spanish Club 3, 4; Prom Committee; Varsity Club 3. “Pete” is the big boy of our football team. But he is well known for many things besides his physical prowess for he and the “Bluebird” seem to get everywhere. A noted socialite, “Carch” was instrumental in the success of our now famed “Junior Prom”. “Pete” has a thousand and one stories which have set the class and clubhouse into an uproar many a time. Life will come easy for you, “Pete”. “A man that won’t be beat can’t be beat.” CAREY, JOSEPH “Joe” Commercial Basketball 1, 2, 3; Football 3, 4; Baseball 4; Senior Class Treasurer; Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 4; Prom Committee. Blond “Joe” Carey did well in his first three years at Bulkeley and topped it off with a stellar Senior year. Baseball, basketball, football, intramurals, Class Treasurer, Hi-Y. It takes a popular fellow and top athlete to chalk up a record like that. “Joe” fills all the qualities and has some left over. “Joe”—you’re bound to get along. Page forty-two CHANDLER, ROBERT “Bob” College Masque Gavel 3, 4; Sketch Club 4. Shakespeare, the latest hook, or art—ask “Bob” Chandler, our authority on the finer things of life. He is one of our better known Masque Gavel men. His themes have been the pride of Ray Reed’s English class. “Bob” has a likeable personality which is bound to get him by.

Hail our chief (for two years no less). “Al” is one of our top athletes with four years of baseball and basketball and one of our Socialites with four years of W. M. I. He is one of our leading politicians and his slate had a clean sweep this year. His personality will always keep him on top; holding the reins. You’ll never have to worry, “Al”, just keep on smiling. CLEMENS, WALT “Walt” College Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 1, President 2; French Club Vice-President 3; Student Council 3. “Walt” is our big, likeable “wall-boy”, politician, footballer, and just about everything else. “Walt” seems to have a way with the faculty and always seems to come out on top of everything he tries. Quite a socialite, and he seems to be popular at the T. T. “Walt” has plenty of “fight” ability and a lot of personality. With that combination to help him block, he can’t miss. Hit ’em hard, “Walt”. CULLEN, ROBERT Bob Commercial Track 1, 2, 3, Co-Captain 4; Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Masque Gavel 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 2, 3; Prom Committee; Band 1, 2, 3; 40 Word Typing Award; Junior Whaler Assistant; Photography Editor 4. “Bob” is Bulkeley’s threat to Sinatra. As might be expected, “Bob” is a “demon” socially, having been dubbed “the Breath” by W. M. I. in answer to the “voice”. Not only that, he is interested in dramatics, is a top figure on the Tiger track team, and has even found time to run up a typing award. We know your orchestra leader ambition will come true, for life will always be a song to you, “Bob”. Page forty-three DAREN, DONALD Don College Band 1; Whaler Assistant 4. “Don” came with us in our freshman year, and before we got to know him he was gone. This year, he came back, and is breezing through our halls again. He got right into the swing of things—sports, activities, and Mr. Orcutt. Most of us aren’t acquainted with him yet, but those who are find him a swell fellow. You’re sure to succeed, “Don”. DAY, ALLYN “AF College Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2; Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Senior Class Secretary; Junior Prom Committee; Spanish Club 3; Hi-Y 1, 2, 3, 4; Student Council 1. “Al” is the Secretary of our Senior class and we couldn’t have picked a better or more popular fellow. He has a likeable quality about him and as soon as you meet him, he’s one of your best friends. He hasn’t missed anything Bulke-ley has had to offer and we rightly expect big things of “Al” in later life. DICKINSON, WILLIAM “Dick” College Hi-Y 3; Cross-Country Coach 4. “Dick” came to us from the war after three years in the Coast Guard. He fell right in stride scholastically and constantly racks off high marks from Ray Reed. “Dick” is coach of our Harriers this year. He has the honor of being Bulkeley’s first student husband and, he became a father in January. “Dick” wants to further his education and we wish him all the luck, though he’ll never need it, for he could always get by on his personality and ability. FARINA, ROLAND “Gilly � College Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball 1; Basketball Mgr. 1; Class President 1, 2; Potpourri 2; French Club 3; Hi-Y 1, 4; Student Council 3; Band 1, 2. “Gilly”, another “wall-boy”, is that dynamic little fellow who gets into all Bulkeley’s activities, from Class President to Hi-Y. He’s always seen around the corridors, at the games, in fact everywhere. “Rol” wants to make military life his career and with his ability to get the best of everything, he’s sure to succeed. Keep on being yourself “Rol” and you can’t miss. Page forty-four FISHER, JOSEPH “Joe” Commercial Track 3, 4; Cross-Country 4; Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3, 4; 40 and 50 Word Typing Certificates; Junior Bookkeeping: Certificate and Pin; Whaler Correspondence Secretary 4. “Joe” is our hard-working: Correspondence Secretary of this year’s “Whaler” who is the blueprint of a perfect businessman. Just look at his activity list! He’s also one of out-top track men and is “one of the fellas”. “Joe’s” bound to succeed in later life.

Music seems to be a second nature with “Lenny” and he talks, eats, and sleeps it. He will get along proudly in this world of ours even without his clarinet. He is always around to pep us up with his music or stories. Keep your music hot, “Len”. GORMAN, ROBERT “Bob” Commercial National Honor Society 3, Secretary 4; Student Council Treasurer 4; Business Training Prize 1; Bookeeping Certificates 2, 3; Shorthand Prize 3; Whaler Literary Editor 4; Baseball 1; Bengal Weekly 1; Track Mgr. 4. “Bob” is one of the hardest working members of the Senior class—being a member of the Student Council, National Honor Society, and “Whaler”. All his work pays off dividends, too, for he is always one of the top on our honor roll. Much of the credit due for this year’s “Whaler” can be given to Bob and he justly deserves it. There is always a high place in the world for one who is willing to work hard. HALL, GORDON “Gawk” College French Club 3; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball Manager 2; Varsity Club 3; Intramurals 1, 4. To say that “Gawk is up in the air” is no hyperbole for he really is a licensed pilot with an insane love for the “wild blue yonder”. “Gordy” has gotten along well with us here at Bulkeley and if there is anyone who can go after that “star in the sky” it’s “Gawk”. Page forty-five HANSEN, HARRY Harry General “Harry is our gift to the flowers. He intends to be a florist, with his own greenhouses and hotbeds. We have no doubts that “Harry can further his ambition, for, to quote Shakespeare, “A rose, by any other name, would smell as sweet. HENDEL, MURRAY “Mort College French Club 3; Football Mgr. 1, 2; Student Council Secretary 4; Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Junior Whaler Assistant; Whaler Advertising Manager 4. “Mort is a combination of the Hendel’s. He's a semibrain, semi-comedian, and he even finds time to be Secretary of our Student Council. He's well liked by everyone and is a key man in intramurals. A fellow who has as many friends as “Mort can’t help but succeed. HENDEL, MYRON “My College Junior French Prize 3; Sophomore Mathematics Prize 2; Latin Prize 2, 3; U. S. History Prize 3; Harvard Club Prize 3; Latin Club 3; French Club 3, 4; Prom Committee; National Honor Society 3, President 4; Junior Whaler Assistant 3, Editor-in-Chief 4. “My is the well-liked “brain of the Senior class who has been top man on the honor roll each year of our stay at Bulkeley. He is the Editor-in-Chief of this year’s “Whaler and, as usual, he has made it Bulkeley’s best. “Myron will carry the laurels of Bulkeley high into the eyes of the public. We have no doubt that someday we’ll be proud to say we went to school with Myron Hendel! HENDEL, THEODORE “Ted College Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3; French Club 3; Football 1, 2. “Ted isn’t with us now, he left for the navy early this year, but the halls are still ringing with his jokes and antics. He thought himself quite a woman killer and who knows? Nothing bothered him in high school and we know he’ll be the same in later life. Page forty six HIRSCH, DONALD Don College Track 1; Tennis 1; Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Potpourri 1; Masque Gavel 2, 3, 4; Biology Club 3; Band 1, 2; Minstrel Show 1, 2, 3, 4; Senior French Club 3. “Don” leads a double life. In the corridors, he’s the stately well-mannered Vice-President of our Masque Gavel; but come the minstrel, he’s the black-faced comedian who “keeps ’em in the aisles”. He can be serious, too; and his dramatic ability has brought loud, long, well-deserved applause. Don need never fear, for he can’t help being “just right”. JONES, WILLIAM “Doc” College Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3, 4; Spanish Club 3, 4; Baseball 4. Want to know the batting average, basketball scores, football players? Here’s the man to ask. We expect some day soon to see the name of “Doc” Jones on the Sports page of the New York Times. (We’ve already seen it in “The Day”.) “Bill” knows his baseball inside and out and upside down. A popular fellow, in all ways, “Doc” can’t miss. KEENEY, GEORGE “George” College Intramural Sports 2, 3; Masque Gavel 3, Treasurer 4; Spanish Club 3, 4; Spanish Prize 2, 3; English Composition Prize 3. “George” is one of those “Goshen” fellows who are always around. Another of Bulkeley’s “brains” he racks off his marks with effortless ability. “George” seems to get into all the clubs and is greatly interested in dramatics. His likeable way and cheery conversation, coupled with his scholastic powers will make him successful in his chosen profession. LENA, PAUL “Paul” College Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; French Club 3, 4; Latin Club President 3; Masque Gavel 3, Secretary 4; National Honor Society 3, 4; “Whaler” Sports Editor 4. We find that “Paul” is correct always whether it’s in dress or on exam papers. A popular fellow, he has quite a combination of talents: National Honor Society, Masque Gavel, Basketball, and Sports Editor of this year’s “Whaler”. “Paul” is aiming after a high star but we have confidence that he’ll reach it. Page forty-seven LUCAS, JAMES “Luke’ College Masque Gavel Secretary 3, 4; Spanish Club 3, 4; Sketch Club 4; Junior Whaler Assistant. “Luke” possesses as his most outstanding quality, tempering off his adversaries with his suave manner and glib tongue. We can easily envision him in years to come as the Court Judge of the metropolis of Niantic. “Jim” whose theme song is who is “Going My Way” is set for a top place in life. MALLON, JOHN “Mai” College Basketball 1, manager 3, 4; Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 4; Spanish Club 3; Student Council 4. The Senior class wouldn’t be complete without John M. Mai Ion III. He’s been into everything anybody had to offer— and he’s out of most of them. “Mai’s” wisecracks have set everybody, including the faculty, laughing. He has been an athlete and a politician of some renown, being Vice-President of our Student Council. We seriously expect great things of “Mai”, no matter what field he chooses. MASSEY. BRIAN “Mass” College Minstrel 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Sketch Club 4; Potpourri 1; Spanish Club 3; Masque Gavel 3, 4. “Mass” is the “red-head” boy with the voice. His “Trolley Song” brought down the house at last year’s minstrel and also brought three encores. “Brian”, as you might expect, is interested in dramatics, having appeared in almost all the Masque Gavel plays. Life will always be a song to you, “Brian”. MEYER. SAUL “Saul” College Basketball Manager 1, 2, 3, 4; Track 2, 3, 4; Cross-Country 3; Intramurals 1, 2, 4; French Club 3, 4; Latin Club 3; Junior Whaler Assistant; Business Manager 4. “Saul” is another of Bulkeley’s brains who is always willing to help his less fortunate buddies. The financial success of this year’s “Whaler” is due, in no small way to his aggressiveness and business ability. “Saul” will always be a model of the perfect manager and an attribute to the Class of ’46. Page forty-eight McGUIRE, WILLIAM Bill' Commercial Basketball 1, 2, 3; Baseball 1, 2, 4; Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Varsity Club 3; 40 Word Typing Certificate. “Bill” is one of Room 17’s big basketballers and top volleyball men.

M. I. He is well liked by everyboly and his cracks in Mr. Orcutt’s room have brought him undying fame. “Mac” will get along well in any field he chooses, for his personality is tops. O’DONNELL, ROBERT “Bob” Commercial Baseball 1; Intramural Sports 1, 2. “Bob” is our pint-sized, well-liked Senior, who even gets along with Mr. Orcutt. He is at all our games and, though small, his voice is mighty. “Bob” is well liked by everybody and is really “one of the boys”. His personality and humor will keep him going for a long time to come. O’GRADY, JOHN “John” College Baseball 1; Football 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2; Track 3, 4; Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Secretary-Treasurer 2; Secretary 3; Hi-Y 1, 3, President 2, 4. A tribute to the Irish—John O'Grady. Tops in football; tops in track; President of our Hi-Y and a class officer for two years—(then there's W. M. I.). John can’t miss in later life, for even if he didn't have his talent, his Irish smile would get him through. Best of luck, “John”. Page forty-nine OMAHA, GERALD Jerry” College Intramural Sports 2; Potpourri 1; Band 2; Whaler Home Room Captain 2. “Jerry” is one of Mr. Orcutt's most frequent targets, being the object of a verbal barrage practically everyday. On top of all this, though, he’s always smiling. “Jerry” plans to make the service his career and we know he’ll have the quality to take orders. PERCY, CHARLES “Charley” General Band 4; Intramural Sports 4. “Charley” came to us this year from “Tech” and soon became one of the cornerstones of our band with that clarinet of his. He’s always smiling and can always make others smile. “Charley’s” ability to know and get along with everybody is going to prove a valuable asset in later life. PIERFEDERICI, ROLAND “Teaball” General Freshman Basketball; Baseball 1, 3, 4; Spanish Club 3; Intramurals 2, 3, 4. “Nesty” is our stellar shortstop who counts baseball averages instead of sheep at night. He seems to have some contention that there is a team called the Pirates. “Piere” is also a woman-hater of some renown and he is Room 17's cornerstone for intramurals. We don’t know exactly what to expect from “Roily” but we know that he’ll come through some day. PRESSEY, JAMES Jim College Biology Prize 2; Latin Club 3; Intramurals 3, 4; Baseball Manager 3, 4. Jim is that remarkable fellow who gets on admirably with “brains”, “rah-rah” boys, and faculty. He is one of the four of our number who passed Mr. Flood Reed’s Physics. Jim likes sports and holds his own in intramurals. He has also found time to get a place in the Masque Gavel. Jim has ability and initiative, and he is bound to succeed.

RESNIK, DAVID “Dave” College Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Potpourri 1; Spanish Club 3; Junior Whaler Assistant 3; Circulation Manager 4; Projection Club 4. “Dave” is another of our hard-working “Whaler” men who seem to have a monopoly on all the high marks that are dished out. He likes to collect stamps and is the cornerstone of our newly formed projection club. “Dave” can’t help but succeed in this world of ours with his combination of talents. ROGOFF, C HARLES “Charley” College “Charley” came back to us this year in an attempt to get through the faculty, but even his high-powered motors and speed driving couldn’t help. We haven’t seen him in sometime, but we know he’ll keep his motors humming. Best of luck, “Charley”. ROBERTSON, JAMES “Bobby” College Glee Club; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Shorthand Prize 3. “Bobby” is another of Mr. Pierce’s band mainstays with that trumpet of his. He spends most of his time with music and is one of our glee club’s members. He’s always around to give us a laugh and keep things going. “Bobby” will get along in later life as well as he got along at Bulkeley. Page fifty-one ROUSE, THOMAS ‘Tom” College Track 2; Minstrel 2, 3; Masque Gavel 3, 4; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; French Club 3, 4. “Tom” is the big lanky fellow who works hard, and talks “airplanes”. He likes French and dramatics, and the boys like “Tom”. He can always be seen at the games and at all social functions. “Tom” gets by without being a “bookworm” and he should go forward. ROY, RICHARD “Rich” College Track 3, 4; Baseball 1; Intramurals 4; Potpourri 4; Minstrel 4; Spanish Club 3, 4. “Rich” is our defender of the impossible—a prestidigitator first class. He only wishes he could read Mr. Falconer’s mind. “Rich” is also one of the cornerstones of our track team, heaving the shot-put high in the 40’s. Likeable in every way, we know “Rich” will mystify the world, but nothing will mystify “Rich”. RUSS, EDGAR “Ed” General Masque Gavel 3, 4; Intramural Sports 4. “Ed is another of Waterford’s quiet (?) boys and he comes and goes without attracting too much attention. He is interested in dramatics and works hard for the Masque Gavel. “Ed” will go right on getting the best out of life in his own soft-spoken way. RYAN, HUBERT “Bill” General Track 2, 3, 4; Cross-Country 3; Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Masque Gavel 3, 4; Student Council 1. “Bill” takes everything in stride, including two years of Mr. Orcutt, and Mr. Flood Reed’s Physics. “Hub”, as he is also known, is one of our hard-working runners, with both track and cross-country to his credit. He likes dramatics and is one of the school’s top debaters. We know you can talk your way through life “Hub” and may the Saints be with you. Page fifty-two RYAN, THOMAS r°m College Track 3, 4; Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 3, 4. “Tom” is our staunch defender of the Irish.

SAWICKI, RAYMOND “R“y” General Baseball 1, 4; Football 2, 3; Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Vice-President 3, 4; Student Council 2; Prom Committee. “Ray” is the neat well-dressed haberdasher of the Senior class. His formal air really gets the women and, besides that, he’s a regular fellow, and a staunch supporter of all our teams. “Ray” has leadership qualities which are bound to put him on top in later life and make him another successful Bulkeley “Grad”. SCHOFIELD, MARSHAL “Marsh” General Cross-Country 3, 4; Intramurals 2, 3, 4; 40-to-50 Word Typing Certificates. “Marsh” is one of our quieter fellows to the outside, but a really likeable person after you get to know him. He is one of the few Bulkeley boys who types 55 words a minute. “Marsh’s” prudence and ability should make him an executive some day. SENSION, GRANT l5ud College “Bud” hasn’t caused too much commotion in his years at Bulkeley and seems to have breezed through. His friends will tell you, though, that he is likeable in every way. “Bud is bound to slip through life in the same quiet way but we know he’ll make the most of every chance. Page fifty-three SHEEHAN, ROBERT “Red” Commercial Intramurals 2, 3, 4; Student Council 4; Prom Committee: 40 Word Typing Certificates; Hi-Y 4. “Red” is another one of those fellows who are always around and he’s well-liked by everybody.

ROBERT “Shep” College Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Honor Society 3, 4; Spanish Club 3, 4; Masque Gavel 3, 4. “Bob” is our authority on the finer arts, especially the Opera. “Shep” wants to be a teacher, and after racking on marks with Mr. Orcutt, he’s sure to see his ambitions come true. Best of luck to you “Bob”, you’ll never have to worry. SITTY, ALBERT College Football 2, 3, 4; Baseball 3, 4; Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3 4-Spanish Club 3, 4. A1 , alias “Von Sitty”, alias “Ape” (we could go on and on) is our wisecracking, football hero who was in on every tackle. He also racks off marks with surprising ability and has never been known to take a book home. “Al’s” wit has made him well-liked by everybody. When we look on ’46 we 11 remember “Al” as one of the most colorful figures of the class. SPAULDING. DAVID “Dave” College Masque Gavel 4. “Dave” came to us this year and as yet hasn’t attracted too much attention. He comes and goes quietly and efficiently, in fact very efficiently. Those who know him have gained a true friend, and we believe “Dave” will break through his shyness to emblazen the name of Bulkeley in his chosen field. Page fifty-four STANTON, GENE Gene” General Cross-Country 4; Baseball 3, 4; Intramural 1, 2, 3, 4; Spanish Club 4. “Gene” is another of the Jordan Village clan.

MICHAEL “Mike” Commercial Cross-Country 3, 4; Baseball 3, 4; Student Council 3. “Mike” is another of our sons of Eire, who has the usual Bulkeley ability to get by the faculty.

THOMAS, OWEN “Duke” College Track 2, 3, Co-Captain 4; Football 4; Cross-Country 3; Intramurals 2, 3, 4; Student Council 2, 3, President 4; Potpourri 2; Prom Committee; Biographical Editor 4; Hi-Y 4; Masque Gavel 3, 4; French Club Secretary-Treasurer 3. “Duke” is the kind of boy Bulkeley needs. He has four years of athletic participation behind him and constantly racks off high marks—apparently without effort. In addition to his school work and extra-curricular activities, he is one of our leading social lights. Everyone, from Freshman to Senior knows “Duke”, and he should go far in life with that friendly personality of his. VINE, EDWARD “Eddie” College Intramural Sports 1, 2; Minstrel 2, 3; Spanish Club 3; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Serenaders 2, 3, 4. “Eddie” is another of our hard-working, hot-playing bandsmen.

The future seemed uncertain. Heeding the words of Headmaster Underwood’s welcoming address, we realized that Bulkeley would give us the fair chance of building a healthy and happy career. We worked determinedly and became proud freshmen. We underwent the usual haphazard freshmen days and surpassed our teachers’ expectations in the end. Our Sophomore year witnessed many changes. We gratefully accepted the vigorous leadership of our new Headmaster, Mr. Archibald. Under his guidance we observed a spirit of closer unity between faculty and students. Character building and youth movements rose to new heights. We were part of an active administration. On the field and court several of our members played their best; in the clubs we cooperated for bigger and better group enjoyment; in the classes we rose to scholastic peaks. Our Sophomore year was filled with unforgettable acquaintances and events. Now, in our third year, we emerge as “blue-blood” upperclassmen. We are getting older now and are engaging more difficulties, but we are overcoming them in manly stride. The school year holds forth many growing pains which we shall enjoy as spirited Juniors. We, the Seniors of tomorrow, face the future years with determined hope and smiling faces, since peace is ours. Knowing that peace is ours and that we are living in this baffling atomic age, we are for those reasons building ourselves with sturdier materials for a bright and happy future.

Everything was quite new to us. We were constantly getting lost in the maze of rooms and halls of our new school. As time went by, we became acquainted with our new teachers and classmates. After awhile, we entered into the phases of Bulkeley life as true students—taking interest in scholarship, school politics, and athletics. In the field of athletics we had a fair baseball and basketball team under the able supervision of Mr. Silva. In the political spotlight that year were: Bill Burke, President; Ray Middleton, Vice-President; James Finch, Secretary, and David Blodgett, Treasurer. As we look back on our days spent in Freshman Hall, we can proudly say that we have enjoyed every minute of every day spent there. This year, we returned to Bulkeley as Sophomores. It was an even greater thrill than when we had entered as Freshmen, because we had dreamed and worked for the day when we would be regarded as higher than Freshmen. We are well represented in the field of athletics, Student Council, Masque and Gavel, and many of the various clubs of the school. Once again, we have exercised our democratic right by electing our class officers. They are: Si Shumway, President; Bill Burke, Vice-President, and Dennis Foley, Secretary-Treasurer. We are looking forward to the day when we will be Juniors and we are striving to be worthy of the name of Bulkeley in the classrooms and on the athletic field so that the class of 1948 will be remembered and respected in the time honored halls of our Alma Mater.

After some trying experiences with both Faculty and Upperclassmen, we finally adjusted ourselves to our new surroundings. Through experience, we learned the rules and regulations of Bulkeley School. After a heated political battle, we elected as officers: President, Robert McPhail; Vice-President, Philip Hale, and Secretary-Treasurer, Van Keuren We are attempting to uphold the honor and traditions of Bulkeley by participating in clubs, sports, and other activities. We are confidently looking forward to our next three years in Bulkeley and through our own efforts and the help of our teachers, we hope to be a credit to our school and help to uphold its high standards. We hope that our future years in Bulkeley will be as happy as was our Freshman year. Jones.

It was a seesaw battle throughout until the last four minutes of the fourth period when Red Barrett recovered a fumble on the Stonington 36. Two offside penalties brought the ball to the 26, first and ten to go. Left halfback, Jim Carver, then took the ball around left end, was given good downfield blocking, and raced all the way for the score. He then added the extra point on an off-tackle smash. Bulkeley then kicked off and downed the Stonington ball carrier on the fifty yard stripe. On their first down the Bears tried a desperation pass which was intercepted by Carver who, behind good blocking again, went all the way for the score. The placement try was blocked. Stalwarts in the Bulkeley defense were O’Grady and A1 Sitty, while Carver, the hero of the game, stood out in the offense. In their next encounter, Bulkeley’s 18 game winning streak, stretched out over a period of two years, was snapped by a powerful Hillhouse eleven by a score of 13-7. The New Haveners operated very effectively from the T formation, handled beautifully by little Bill Nakaso. Early in the second period, Nakaso climaxed a long drive by a six yard dash off left tackle for the first tally of the game. The Hillhouse end then kicked the extra point. That was all the scoring for the first half. Bulkeley came out from the halftime rest period and made a 60 yard drive for the score, O’Grady toting the pigskin over on a line buck. Then, after an exchange 52 yard Hillhouse drive by a ten yard aerial to end Reynolds, who raced ten more for the score. After the kickoff, Bulkeley again made a 60 yard drive, via the air, which brought the ball to the Hillhouse nine, first down and goal to go. Then tragedy struck. On the first down, a pass from Carver, intended for Daniels, was intercepted by Nakaso, who went to the 25 yard marker before being hauled down. On the first down, Hillhouse fumbled and Tom Daniels recovered. Three Bulkeley passes failed and Hillhouse took over with time for one play left. Nakaso tried a quarterback sneak which was stopped by A] Sitty, who instead of tackling Nakaso, snatched the ball from his hands and, with a clear field in front of him, started running. However, he was stopped from behind by Nakaso as the whistle sounded. On the road for the first time the Tigers traveled to Hartford to defeat the Capitol-city lads 12-0 on two first period scores. of punts, Nakaso terminated a Conch Bill O’Brien Asst. Coach P. Haleftiras On the first offensive play of the game, Tom Daniels fell on a fumble on the Hartford 30 yard stripe. Then O’Grady, on a forward lateral, carried the ball to the 11 yard line where a fifteen yard penalty set the ball back on the twenty-six. Hartford then took over on downs and again they fumbled and A1 Sitty recovered. After a 20 yard march, Sophomore Bill Burke scored from the three on a wide-opening off-tackle play. P ollowing the kickoff, Bulkeley blocked a Hartford punt on the forty where Burke carried the ball to the one yard stripe. Ballestrini then plunged the remaining distance and Belcher’s placement try was blocked. That was all the scoring for the day, although the Bengals threatened at least four more times. Dick Ballestrini, in his first game, did some remarkable ball carrying. In their fourth encounter, on the road once more, the Tigers, playing their best game of the year, upset New Britain 14-0 to make it four straight for Bulkeley in their series thus far with New Britain. Bulkeley scored in the first three minutes. The kickoff was short and Tom Daniels ran down and fell on it for Bulkeley on the 38 yard line of New Britain. Through the plunging of ( aptain O’Grady, Bulkeley then moved down to the one foot line where New Britain’s strong forward line held and the ball was lost on downs. However, on the ensuing punt O’Grady and Barrett broke through and blocked the punt, which rolled back into the end zone for a safety. Then with three minutes left in the first half, Bulkeley took the ball on its own twenty-two and by means of two runs by John O’Grady and one by Burke brought the ball to the New Britain twenty-five, first and ten. Carver then faded back and heaved a twenty yard aerial to Tom Daniels who went over for the score. The final Bulkeley tally came in the third period when Pugsley recovered a New Britain fumble on the 34. Despite a fifteen yard penalty against Bulkeley, Carver again faded back and threw another long heave to Daniels, who was stopped on the four. From there O’Grady plunged it over. In the fourth quarter once again Bulkeley threatened, moving the ball to the one foot line, but once again the stubborn New Britain line held. For Bulkeley, the player of the day was Captain O’Grady, whose line play in the defense and backfield play on the offense caused the New Britain fans to dub him “The O’Grady Twins”. Then, of course, there was Tom Daniels, who did some fancy pass catching; Jim Carver, who, in spite of a broken hand, completed six out of seven passes; A1 Sitty, powerful line backer up, and center George Pugsley, who recovered the fumble that led to the second touchdown. After a week’s layoff, Bulkeley traveled to Groton to meet a highly-rated Fitch Team. All the pre-game rumors proved themselves true as Fitch came out with a 7-6 triumph, their first victory over Bulkeley since the series started in 1930. In the first period, both teams made long drives and both teams made great defensive stands. But in the second period the Tanagers utilized the forward pass to strike with successful suddenness. Stoltz faded to midfield and heaved a 47 yard pass which Cedio gathered in and went over standing up. Then Sullivan kicked what proved to be the winning point. Bulkeley’s lone score followed the second period kickoff. The Bengals made an 80 yard sustained drive which was climaxed by an O’Grady one-yard plunge. JOHN K. BALENTINE Faculty Manager of Athletics A false pass play, with O’Grady carrying, failed for the extra point and the game was decided then and there. Again Bulkeley’s ace was O’Grady whose line plunging was a threat to the Tanagers from beginning to end. Returning to Mercer field, the Tigers met and defeated their home town rivals, Chapman Tech, 7-2, in their annual Armistice Day clash. Bulkeley played poor ball in the first half and was forced to maintain many goal-line stands. Tech capitalized on one of these drives by tackling Carver behind his own goal for a safety. The score stood at 2-0 for the rest of the first half. However, the Tigers came out of the club-house a different team in the second half. Although they made only one yard by rushing in the first half they immediately started to roll in the second half. Taking the kickoff they moved the ball to the Tech 40 before they were forced to kick. With the ball on its own 22, Tech fumbled and Walt Clemens recovered. After a five yard penalty, O’Grady plunged for two yards. Then on the next play he faked a reverse to Carver and gave it to Burke, who cut between his left end and tackle and outran the Tech backer-ups for the score. This play, by the way, was the same type as the one with which Jack Porter won the Tech game last year. After this brilliant run, Jim O’Donell’s placement attempt was wide, but an offside penalty against Tech gave Bulkeley another chance. O’Grady then plunged over to make the score 7-2. The fourth quarter was characterized by drives of both teams, none of which were fruitful. A1 Sitty and Joe Carey stood out in the Bulkeley defense while Burke played a great offensive game. In their final encounter the hard fighting Bengals went down to a 7-2 defeat at the hands of Norwich before a record breaking crowd of 4,500. The Norwich score came in the second period when John Morosky, Norwich’s ace passer, pitched a thirty yard aerial to end Ray Lukasiewicz in the end zone. Frank Vasington then passed to Lukasiewicz for the extra point. Bulkeley’s score came in the last period when Morosky was tackled in his end zone for a safety. Both teams filled the air with passes, Bulkeley throw-ing twenty and Norwich seventeen. Although Norwich gained more yardage, mostly between the forty-yard stripes, Bulkeley outplayed them and twice threatened, once from the six and once from the three, but they lacked enough power to push the pigskin over. Also Bulkeley was handicapped by the loss of Bailestrini, who broke his collarbone in the second period. O’Grady suffered a severe Charley horse in the same period and was also hindered greatly. Norwich was given the unofficial Eastern Connecticut title and came very close to winning the State Title, finishing third behind New Britain and Weaver. This was the last game for the following seniors: Captain John O’Grady, Walt Clemens, Peter Carchidi, Joe Carey, A1 Sitty, and Red Barrett. Bulkeley placed four men on the all-conference team for 1945. They are: Captain O’Grady, Walt Clemens, A1 Sitty, and Tom Daniels.

Page eighty-two BASEBALL 1945 The 1945 Bulkeley Baseliall team turned in a fair season, as it mixed brilliant games with poor ones, and broke even with a record of six wins, six losses and a fourth place in the Conference running. The Tigers opened their season with a 5-2 win over the Alumni, behind the pitching of Bob Davidson, Dave Mulcahy, and Ron Morgan. Captain Bill Noonan led the Tiger offensive getting a single, a double and scoring two runs. Although the final score stood 15-9 in favor of Bulkeley, the Tigers dropped a 9-0 decision to the Windham Whippets by way of a forfeit. Bulkeley, although unknown to the coach and to the player himself, had an ineligible player in their lineup. In their third contest, Bulkeley, behind the pitching and hitting of Dave Mulcahy, defeated a newly-formed Fitch team 9-1. Mulcahy pitched five hitless innings, collected a single and a double, scored a pair of runs and batted in two others. Although they made six errors in the field, Bill O’Brien’s stalwarts managed to comb the pitching of Austin Dorr for a 7-4 victory over Chapman Tech. Bob Davidson started on the mound for the Tigers but was relieved by Mulcahy in the sixth when there were no outs and Tech had the bases filled. Standouts in the Bulkeley offense were Veal, McNamara and Capt. IT. Noonan Noonan. Breaking loose with a three-run onslaught in the lucky seventh, the Tigers, behind the shut out pitching of Sophomore Tom Daniels, won a 6-0 decision over Stonington. This marked the Bengal’s second Conference win as against one defeat, that by a forfeit. The hero of the game was, of course, Tom Daniels, who, pitching his first varsity game, allowed only five hits. On the offensive side of the picture, McNamara and Clark led the Tiger hitting, each with a double. In their sixth encounter, the Bengals lost a close 3-2 decision to Norwich. Mulcahy started on the mound for the Tigers but was relieved in the fourth by Davidson. Tony West was the hero for Norwich as he pitched a two-hitter and batted four for four. This game threw the Conference race wide open with the first place a triple tie between Norwich, Tech and Windham. Bulkeley made it a clean sweep over Fitch in their next encounter by trouncing the Tanagers 18-4, using 19 players in all. Bulkeley, cutting loose with an eight run spree in the seventh, had a very easy afternoon of ball. Bulkeley’s hopes for the Conference Championship wilted as they dropped an 8-7 decision to an inspired Stonington nine. Davidson opened on the mound, but was relieved by Tom Daniels when a home run by Don White brought in four runs for Stonington. In a thirteen inning battle, the Tigers were outlasted by Windham 10-9. Tom Daniels started on the mound but was relieved by Mulcahy in the second. Jim Dunnack was the star for the Whippets as he gave up only two hits in his five-inning span and hit home the tie-breaking run with a single in the thirteenth. Bulkeley was completely rubbed out of the Conference running by virtue of an 18-11 loss to Chapman Tech. The Tigers had pitching trouble using four pitchers in all. Tom Daniels started and was relieved by Mulcahy in the fifth. Then Mulcahy was relieved by Davidson. But Davidson had lost his control and he had to be relieved by Veal, our catcher, in the eighth. In their eleventh encounter, Bulkeley trounced Hartford 6-3, using three castoff bats. Davidson went all the way for the Tigers, and Ballestrini, collecting a triple and a pair of singles, was the hero of the game. In their final encounter, the Bengals dropped a 4-1 decision to Norwich in a game which was postponed from April 19. By virtue of this victory, Norwich clinched the Conference title while Bulkeley ended up in fourth place, by winning two and losing four in six conference competitions. Mulcahy, although he gave up four runs in the first, actually outpitched the winning pitcher Tony West. Bulkeley’s lone tally was scored by Bill Noonan on a single by Clark. Players lost by graduation were: Captain Noonan, Veal, Davidson, Archer, Morgan, and Mulcahy, who went in the Service. The Student Manager was James Pressey.

ATHLETIC - AUTOGRAPHS BASKET Co-Captain Robert Daniels BASKETBALL 1944-45 Although the 1944-45 basketball team was not so good as pre-game thinkers would have made it, the team proved very valuable in one way. It brought promise of a great future team in the presence of five six foot sophomores who proved themselves near varsity caliber this year. The Tigers opened up in Groton with a 49-26 drubbing of the Fitch Tanagers. Archer was the main cog in the Bulkeley machine, netting a total of 13 tallies, while A1 Clark, a junior, was next with eight. The team as a whole looked fair both offensively and defensively. After having easy sledding in the opener, the team met some stiff opposition in the form of Warren Harding. Although the Tigers emerged victorious by a 38-31 margin, it was a nip and tuck battle all the way through with Tillie Daniels playing a beautiful defensive game against the taller opponents. In the third contest, the Tigers topped the Alumni 44-32 in a sloppy, easy-going game. Vince Archer was high scorer with 13 tallies. In the fourth home game, Bulkeley barely emerged 29-27 victors over Norwich in another nip and tuck battle. Bulkeley at times showed lack of defensive power but the team proved itself able to rise to great heights when in a tight spot. It also showed great strength in foul shots, a decisive factor in the game. In their fifth encounter, Bill O’Brien’s team, playing a race-horse style of ball, moved into a first place tie with Windham by beating Ston- Co-Ca.pta.in Vincent Archer W. McGuire P. Lena J. Carver R. Ballestrini ington 57-40. Again Bulkele.v showed their lack of defensive strength and bursts of speed on the offense. Vince Archer was again high scorer with a total of 16 points. Stretching their winning streak to six straight games, Bulkeley edged out Windham 44-41 and took undisputed possession of the Conference lead. After the second period, Bulkeley led all the way but its wide margin was again cut by its usual lapses in defensive play. Outstanding in the Bulkeley defense was Tillie Daniels, who held Ed Flynn, Windham’s six-foot-four center, to 3 points while Carver was the high man on the offense, tallying 14 points. On the road again, Bulkeley’s winning streak was snapped by a clever Bassick team, 40-20. For the first one and a half quarters the team looked wonderful, passing rings around Bassick and outplaying them all around. But then an all-around lag set in, and Bulkeley relinquished her lead, never again to be gained. In the last quarter, the team reached an all time low, scoring 5 points, all by guard Tom McNamara. Returning to their home court, once again, Bulkeley shellacked Fitch by a 46-18 margin. After a slow first half, Coach O’Brien used all of his 16 squad members in a game in which Carver was high tallier with 11 points. Once again moving out of their home court the Tigers suffered a 47-43 defeat at the hands of Chapman Tech in the Y.M.C.A. gym. Missing their accuracy in shooting, and passing terribly, the Tiger quintet lost the game in the final period. Archer and Daniels were tied for scoring honors, each netting 11 points, while Jim Gaffney tossed in 15 points for the winners. On the road once more the Tigers suffered their third defeat in the last four starts at the hands of New Britain, 46-37. Once more playing an up-and-down game the Tigers were unable to stop Majewski and Rosenweig, who scored 7 and 11 points respectively. Captain-Elect Al Clark Bulkeley lost all chances of winning the conference by dropping a 39-22 decision to Norwich. The bewildered Bulkeley chargers were baffled and trailed throughout. Bradlaw was high scorer for the Wildcats with 12 points. T. Irwin J. Carey A.Sakedis T. McNamara John Mallon (Manager) Saul Meyer (Manager) Losing its fourth game in a row, Bulkeley dropped its second encounter with Bassick 50-45, and were knocked out of a tournament berth. Drawing up to a one point deficit in the last minute, it looked as though Bulkeley might pull through, but Ballestrini, the Tiger’s standout, went out via the personal foul route and Bulkeley’s hopes were thrown to the winds. Once more playing a sloppy game, the Tigers lost second place in the conference by losing to Chapman Tech 45-29. Chippone, playing his last game, was high scorer for the winners with 18 points. Returning to the win column, Bulkeley defeated Windham 49-36 and thus was assured of third place in the conference run. Playing the last game of the year, Bulkeley emerged victorious over an under-rated Billard team 39-27 in an uphill battle won in the last four minutes. Clark was high man, netting 16 tallies. The lettermen who graduated were Daniels, Archer, Irwin, and Sackedis. The student managers were Robert Satti, Saul Meyer, and John Mallon.

Captain James McEnaney TRACK 1945 The track season for 1945 was both long and exciting. Seven meets in all were scheduled and about thirty-two boys participated in one or more events. Late in April, the State Indoor Meet at Wallingford enabled the relay team to test its mettle against the best Class A competition in the State and the untried Tiger team placed third, being nosed out of second place by Manchester High by as little as a tenth of a second. The Bengals next went to Norwich where, despite Bob Cullen’s high score of 15 points, the Wildcats won the meet 53-51. At the running of the relay, Owen Tooker was tripped by a dog, and the race went to the Red and White. After a protest from Coach Greenaway, the race was re-run, with Norwich again breaking the tape, thereby officially winning the meet. At the third meet of the year, the Tigers fell under a powerful and well balanced Chapman Tech squad. Individual honors went to the Bengal’s sprinter, Owen Thomas, who took the 100, 220, and 440, for 15 points. Coach Malcolm G. Greenaway The next Orange and Black opponent was the Stonington Bears. After William Walsh and George Pugsley had scored an upset in the mile, the Tigers took over the lead 19-17. Coach Orlando of Stonington, protesting the 220 and discus events, snatched his team from the track and the meet was never finished. Bulkeley claimed a victory because of the score and because the Brown and White left the field. In the fifth meet, the Bengals crushed Billard Academy 54J G to 44 j . The Bulkeley specialists clicked as Don Connors took the shot-put and scored in the discus for 8 points and Owen Thomas came through in the 100, 220, and quarter mile for a total of 13 points. Then came the Conference Meet where Bulkeley’s chances for securing second place were dimmed, for a spring on one of the cars transporting place-winners was broken outside of Norwich and the entrants from this group arrived too late to be included in the scoring. However, the Tigers made up for this set-back and although beaten by the Conference Champs, Chapman Tech and Stonington, they defeated Norwich and succeeded in securing third place in the Conference ratings. THE WHALER 1946 Page ninety-four The Bengal’s individual stars were Richard Roy, John O’Grady and Mac Stevens, who each won their events. Finally, on May 26, the Tigermen went to New Haven for the State Outdoor Meet. Although not entering a full team, they managed to come out Tenth in the State in a field of twenty-one Class A teams. Don Connors attracted considerable attention at this meet in heaving the shot 43' 10 , a feat that almost broke the State record. Mac Stevens won points for Bulkeley in jumping 5' 10 . This year’s team at the start of the season had no coach. For the most part it was inexperienced and untried. However, the enthusiasm of the boys, their high morale, the encouraging leadership of Captain James McEnaney, and their willingness to work enabled them to offer stiff competition in every one of their seven meets. Although the season was not too successful in the matter of wins, valuable track experience was gained and much is expected from the Tigers in ’46. High jumping ace, Bob Cullen, and sprint star, Owen Thomas, were elected Co-Captains for next year’s season. The Student Manager was Danny O’Mara. First Row: Tooker, Thomas, Fisher, McEnaney, Stevens, Walsh. Second Row: Kutschker, Flanagan, Terry, Whelan, Coach Greenaway. Third Row: Pugsley, Connors, Roy, Ryan. Fourth Row: O’Grady, O’Mara.

At the meeting of prospective candidates, Bob Flanagan, a junior veteran, was elected to lead the ’45 squad. Bill Dickinson, a returned veteran, was appointed coach by the Trustees. The Tigers opened the season with Stonington, who took the meet 24-33. Captain Flanagan led the scorers for Bulkeley, followed by Whelan, Schofield, Finch, and Hale. The Bengals’ next meet was with the brand-new Tech squad who upset the Orange and Black 24-31. Bob Flanagan was again the first Bulkeley man over the line with Whelan, Sullivan, Fisher, and Finch as the other point-men. In a close practice meet with Avery Point, the visitors took the Tigers 27-32. The Bengal scorers, Whelan, Fisher, and Schofield, were led to the tape by Flanagan and Terry. The Orange and Black’s next foe was Norwich, who downed the Dickinson-men 18-37. Again Capt. Flanagan broke the scoring ice for Bulkeley followed by Sullivan, Whelan, Fisher, and Finch. The Tiger’s junior speed-man and captain, Bob Flanagan, was out for the remainder of the year because of an ankle injury. In the Eastern Connecticut Conference meet Bulkeley garnered a third in a field of four, defeating a previously victorious Tech. The team scores were as follows: Norwich, 26; Stonington, 37; Bulkeley, 67; Tech, 80. Coach Dickinson First Row: Coach Dickinson, Fisher, Hale, Stanton, Sullivan, Holt, Cullen. Second Row: Terry, Flanagan, Whelan, Finch, Schofield, Teufel, Tooker. Third Row: Hargar, Kavarnos. Page ninety-seven The Orange and Black Harriers closed their season with a smarting defeat over Billard, 21-34. George Terry and Bill Whelan broke the tape for the victors. The others scorers were: Nurse, Schofield and Finch. Bob Flanagan and the Junior’s high-scoring veteran, Bill Whelan, were elected as cocaptains for the 1946 season. They have a very promising season as the only lettermen graduating are: Mike Sullivan, Joe Fisher, and Marshall Schofield. The Student Manager was George Hagar, who was assisted by Spiro Kavarnos.

Opening with Fitch on their court we won easily 44 to 14. Cohanzie Boys Club, however, was too old for us and we lost a close one to them 23 to 21. Next came two more close ones which we won, 31 to 30 over the Sophomore Stars, and 35 to 30 over the Sloppy Joes. Our first Tech game followed and, played at the Y.M.C.A., we came through 43 to 24. This was the greatest margin ever in the long Tech series. From here we went to Stonington where we topped their Frosh 39 to 12. After having won nine straight from Norwich our oldest rivals took us on their court in a game that went two overtime periods, 23 to 21. Tech caught us flat-footed after this stinging defeat and won from us at home by a 26 to 21 count. When Norwich came to New London we almost duplicated our first game with them but this time we won in one overtime period 34 to 32.

In all we played twelve games, winning nine and losing three. Burke was our most effective pitcher against our strongest opposition, winning three and losing one. Morse did well for us as he won five and lost two. Dyer added the remaining victory to our string. At the plate we were led by Blais who batted .485; while Burke, Bellefleur and Shafner, furnished most of our power. Captain Beebe led us in runs scored with 16 followed by Stevens with 15, Deveau and Burke with 12 each, and Kivlin with 11.

Led by co-captains Jack Porter and Rol Pierfederici, they defeated Junior Room 16 in their first encounter by a 38-26 count. Then they moved on to beat Senior Room 20, 13-3. In one of their roughest games, they downed Senior Room 15, 17-10 and by virtue of this victory they moved on into the Championship game with Sophomore Room 22. In their toughest contest they managed to down the spirited Sophomores by 19-14 and thus emerged school Champs. There was no usual play-off game with the Norwich All Stars this year due to travel conditions during wartime. INTRAMURAL VOLLEYBALL Junior Room 17, by capturing the volleyball title also, became school champs for 1945. The unusually tall team, averaging six feet or more, breezed through their first game with Room 21 by winning the first two sets 15-2 and 15-7. Then they conquered Senior Room 20 and moved on into the semi-final with the Faculty, the school’s dark-horse entry. They downed the hard-fighting Profs. 15-7 and 15-11 and, heavily favored, went into the Championship game with Room 16. This game was the best played game of the year as it featured many sensational rallies by both sides. Room 17, mainly because of their height, outlasted their classmates 15-10 and 15-12.

Bulkeley C hapter of the National Honor Society was installed in April of 1945. The first officers to hold office in the Bulkeley Chapter were: Robert Davidson, President; Robert Daniels, Vice-President; and Samuel Greene, Secretary. The requirements for membership in the National Honor Society are high. To be admitted, a boy must have a two and one-fourth year average of at least eighty-five per cent. In addition, he must fill the requirements of Character, Leadership, and Service to the school. The purpose of the National Honor Society is to give recognition to those boys who have high scholastic standing and are able to meet the other three requirements. The Society also affords a means of raising the scholastic standards of the school by offering a goal toward which serious minded boys may strive. The officers elected to serve the Honor Society this year are: Myron Hendel, President; Paul Lena, Vice-President; and Robert Gorman, Secretary. First Row: Goldstein, Veal, Davidson, Green, Roche, Frink. Second Row: Lena, Hendel, Gorman, Daniels, Kanabis, Mr. Troland. Third Row: Shepard, Trentini, Keating. Page one hundred four STUDENT COUNCIL This year, the Student Council, did much to help strengthen the bond between faculty and students. The office, sensing the importance of the organization, appointed Mr. Hjortland and Mr. Balentine to aid Mr. Ray Reed in the faculty sponsorship. Under the competent leadership of President, Owen Thomas, and aided by Vice-President, John Mallon; Secretary, Murray Hendel; and Treasurer Robert Gorman; the council continued the supervision of the lunch room and extended the facilities open for recreation during the recess and the handling of the Intramural league. The Student Council hopes this year to institute a Field Day which is to be open to the entire student body. The events will inspire fellowship of competition between homerooms to be climaxed by school play-offs. The council instituted a Connecticut Student Council Newspaper to aid other schools in all parts of the state. It is the hope of its members that this year’s Council has helped the school to some degree. First Row: Pugsley, Gorman, Hendel, Thomas, Mallon, Sheehan, St. Germain. Second Row: Mr. Balentine, Finch, Joyce, Davenport, Sullivan, May, Sheedy, Mr. Ray Reed. Third Row: Mr. Hjortland, Muller, Jennings, Mr. Archibald. Page one hundred jive MASQUE AND GAVEL The Masque Gavel is a comparatively young national high school organization devoted to the promotion of the use of better speech. To accomplish this goal the members of the society engage in dramatics, debates, and open forums. A pledgee to the society is voted upon by its members and he must prove his ability before becoming a full fledged member, at which time he receives his pin. During the course of the year, the society gave a three-act play entitled “A Doctor In Spite of Himself”, and at least one other play, to be entered into the play festival, will be given in the spring. The society participated in three forums, one of which was given at Bulkeley. Several radio plays were given, with cooperation from W. M. I. and a number of assemblies were also presented. In a future assembly we plan to give an excerpt from one of Shakespeare’s plays. This year’s officers are: Donald Hirsch, President; Secretary, Paul Lena; Treasurer, George Kenney; Historian, Brian Massey. During the year the following students were pledged: R. Roy, E. Russ, R. Sawicki, E. Coppola, N. Davis, C. Thayer, H. Shumway, D. Spaulding, and R. Benvenuti. First Row: Cullen, Massey, Keeney, Hirsch, Lena, Thomas, Roy. Second Row: Chandler, Dickinson, Walsh, Mr. Harris, Coppola, Shumway, Russ, Mr. Hjortland. Page one hundred six THE SPANISH CLUB The Bulkeley Spanish Club is comparatively new in the list of active organizations in the school. It was formed in the fall of 1944 for the purpose of furthering interest in Spanish and its background, and also as a group to conduct social activities. It is now enjoying its second successful year. During 1944-45, under the supervision of Mr. Shay, the Club sponsored an assembly featuring a guest speaker from the Connecticut College faculty. Later in the year the club was to sponsor a dance in the gym and it was so successful that, in June, the fifty members treated themselves to a banquet at the Lighthouse Inn. Again in the autumn of 1945 the students in Spanish were eager for the continuance of the Club. Mr. Shay, who had so ably directed us during our first year was again called to service as club adviser. A re-organization meeting was called and plans were made to meet monthly during the Activity Period on Monday. At the November session officers for the year were elected. Robert Shepherd, was chosen as President; Donald Benvenuti, as Vice-President; William Whelan, Secretary Treasurer. A program committee was chosen to plan activities for the year. An assembly was staged, featuring a technicolor movie and Spanish songs by Bob Cullen. The Second Annual Spanish Club Dance was held March 2nd, and once again was very successful. Plans are now under way for a banquet to close out the year. Page one hundred seven BULKELEY FRENCH CLUBS The French Clubs functioned this year separately as a Senior and a Junior organization. Meetings of the Senior Club were all held in the evening at the home of the adviser, Mr. Greenaway. Junior French Club meetings were held after school. During the course of the year eight films were shown to club members and several projects undertaken, such as the writing of letters to former French Club members who were overseas. There were two major projects of general interest to the entire school. The first was the showing of foreign movies in the school auditorium. Early in December about 125 invited guests from French Clubs at Connecticut College, Coast Guard, Chapman Tech, W. M. I., Fitch and Billard Academy enjoyed a fine program of sound pictures. A Walt Disney technicolor short on South America was followed by the feature picture, a two-time French Academy award, “The Runaways of St. Agil”. During brief intermissions necessitated by the changing of reels Owen Thomas and George Benois offered piano interludes. The second major undertaking was the resumption of our annual trips to Montreal, Canada, second largest French-speaking city in the world. During the February vacation the MONTREALERS, twenty in number, journeyed to French Canada for a five-day sojourn to enjoy French food, visit historic sites relating to France’s colonization in the New World, and to study French culture now evident in Montreal. We stopped at the Royal Windsor Hotel, where in spite of usually crowded conditions, we had been able to secure fine reservations. On the first day we toured ‘Ole Montreal’, visiting Notre Dame Church, a replica of the cathedral in Paris, the Maison de Saint Sulpice, oldest building now being used in Montreal, the Palais de Justice where the Code Napoleon is still administered, the Hotel de Ville, a replica of the Paris City Hall, and the famous Chateau de Ramezay, shrine of early French Canadian history and at one time headquarters for the Colonial Government of the United States for seven months. We toured the largest fur house in the world, Desjardins’, and visited Bonsecours Church with its figures imported from Brittany, Bonsecours habitant marketplace, eating in French restaurants and closing the day’s program with a fascinating show at the FORUM where the Ice Follies were being presented before 15,000 people.

We took dinner in the Habitant Room of the Club Chevalier de la Salle, made an excursion over the mountain to Outremont to the Shrine of Frere Andre, the Oratoire de Saint Joseph and the Musee Historique Canadien, a wax museum. We witnessed ski-jumping exhibitions and then returned to Montreal for a Continental supper and floor show at the Club Samovar, only authentic Tsarist Russian restaurant in North America. In the course of the busy third day we chartered a large sleigh and with much difficulty made the ascent of Mount Royal where we spent the morning mountain climbing, skiing and tobogganing. Dinner was served to us in the Mount Royal Ski and Tobogganing Club. An exciting descent of the mountain in the four-horse sleigh brought us back in time for supper at the Windsor Hotel. At 9:40 that night we embarked on The New Englander and arrived safely back in New London at noon on the following day, after an elapsed period of five days.

Clark, meet at the “Y” every Wednesday evening. The purpose of these meetings is to create good fellowship, interest in sports, scholarship, and good citizenship. During the season, the Alpha group extended invitations to attend lectures on sports and the work of the F. B. I. The members of the Beta group assisted in community Christmas activities. THE SKETCH CLUB Last September, a new school organization was launched through the facilities of the new Mechanical Drawing department. Under the able guidance of Mr. Fred Clark as faculty adviser, the club was welcomed with enthusiasm by many students anxious to increase their artistic ability. At the opening meeting the members elected officers as follows: Horace Mann, President; William McSpadden, Vice-President; and David Peterson, Secretary-Treasurer. One of the first projects undertaken was the making of posters for the club’s informal dance, conducted for the purpose of acquiring the necessary sketching equipment. Other projects through the year included window displays, stage scenery, and practical drawing instructions. The organization began auspiciously by setting up an elaborate program and should continue to aid the school. JUNIOR WHALER ASSISTANTS The cooperation of this year’s “Whaler Assistants”, is probably the best ever received. It is their job to solicit advertisements, increase circulation, and aid in the other tasks. The boys who best fulfill their duties and show the most initiative, are picked for next year’s “Whaler” staff. THE WHALER Page one hundred twelve BETA HI-Y SKETCH CLUB JUNIOR WHALER ASSISTANTS 1946 Page one hundred thirteen WHALER ROOM CAPTAINS The Whaler Room Captains are boys picked for their initiative ability, and honesty, to facilitate the distribution of the “Whaler” to the individual home rooms of the Underclassmen. One boy from each home room is selected to receive the subscriptions and to serve as a collector. He, in turn, is responsible to the circulation managers. A great deal of credit for the financial succe-ss of this year’s “Whaler” is due to these boys. ALPHA H I - Y This year, the Hi-Y club has initiated a very broad program under the supervision of its faculty adviser, Mr. Joseph A. Silva. The club membership is smaller than usual, consisting of only twenty-three members. It has been fortunate in having procured many worthwhile educational speakers to inspire and motivate the members. The club assumed the responsibility of acting as ushers in school affairs. Also, it has sent representatives to the Connecticut Hi-Y Youth and Government Movement. The club has achieved its purpose in strengthening the bond between the school and the community. The officers for the first half-year are: John O’Grady, President: Tom McNamara, Vice-President; A1 Clark, Secretary; and A1 Day, Treasurer. For the second half year: Roland Farina, President; James Carver, Vice-President ; John Mallon, Secretary; and Robert Sheehan, Treasurer. PROJECTION CLUB This year, under the direction of Mr. Pasquale, a new organization, The Projection Club, was formed. Its membership consists of picked boys who are interested in movie projection and visual education. They are trained in the use and care of a projection machine and, in return, assist this newly established department. It is the hope of the club that it will grow and become an established school organization. THE WHALER ------------- Page one hundred fourteen WHALER ROOM CAPTAINS ALPHA HI-Y PROJECTION CLUB 1946 Page one hundred fifteen THE BULKELEY GLEE CLUB The Bulkeley Glee Club is now a regular part of our musical program. They rehearse four times a week during the second half of the lunch period. They sent four of their members to the All Connecticut Chorus at Bridgeport on teachers’ convention day and five members to the all New England Chorus in New Britain in March. Howard T. Pierce Not only has this group sung for several school assemblies, but have represented Bulkeley in the Connecticut College broadcast over radio station WNLC. Having been reorganized this year the Glee Club has been doing very well. We will be assured of a splendid Glee Club in coming years if the fine-voiced underclassmen discovered this year endeavor to remain with us during their stay at Bulkeley. Page one hundred eighteen THE BULKELEY SERENADERS The Bulkeley Serenaders are organized each year to take part in the Minstrel Show and other school activities. Although they do not play for any school dances, they do seem to be an important part of the Seniors’ last assembly. This year they are under the able direction of Clinton Thayer. All of the boys are members of professional bands in and about New London. With the fine talent in this group we have promise of top-notch “Serenaders” for the year to come. BULKELEY BAND This year the Bulkeley Band is eighteen years old. For the first time in its history, the band has been given the classificatian of a real school subject with a rehearsal every day in school time and credit toward graduation for satisfactory work. With this cooperation from the administration, the band should be one of the best of the eighteen. Not only has the band played for all the football games, but will take part in the state and New England Festivals. On March 15th, the band played a joint concert with the band from Keene, N. H., in Bulkeley Auditorium. This is in return for a concert the band played in Keene last spring. Several boys who were former members of the band have returned from the service. This spring Fred Johnson joined the band again after three years in Italy. He is a very important addition to the bass department. In addition to these activities the band made a fine showing in all the parades throughout the year, once traveling to Norwich to take part in a mammoth parade in that city.

Gorman O’Riley Doctor Gamble.......................Cullen MUTINY IN THE YOUTH CENTER Hearing that the good ship YC was threatened by mutiny, the Shontell gang hurried up the dock to save her. The Ryan brothers were on either side of the leader and Fritz and McGarry brought up the rear. As they approached, they could see the MSSRS. Elia-han, Tracy, Bergeson, Facus, O’Donnell, and Maclnnis leaning against the dock railing. Massa occupied an upper deck porthole. A delegation of W. M. I. strikebreakers arrived, headed by bosses Morsicato, Fanjoy, Jenkins, and Wiengarten. “Gilly” Farina’s motor launch, with reinforcements, pulled alongside. “Red” Sheehan, Mallon, Carey, and the gun-crazy Gorman brothers, firing wildly in the air, leaped ashore. Before anything could happen, Captain Sawicki appeared on deck, quelled the mutiny, and ordered all hands on board. Everything was quiet aboard. Lena and Davidson were quartered in the Captain’s cabin. Minault completely dominated the bar. The lounge was spellbound by those wizards of mysticism—Roy and Thomas. One end of the Grand Ballroom was in the hands of those stalwart leaders of the “Wall Boys”—O’Grady and Clemens. The other end was controlled by the dynamic Bernstein brothers. Pescettala and Flannagan held sway on the huge pla.vdeck. Hume, Ballestrini, and Sullivan controlled the game room. In the ballroom. Hall slowly approached the band leader, but becoming entangled in Montzoures’ feet, he fell, bringing O’Mara down with him. Before the “Wall Boys” and the Gorman’s could claw loose their “irons”—thereby starting another riot—Rouse slipped Harry James a “fin” and amid the stirring strains of that great march, “I Fall in Love Too Easily”, the YC set sail on another calm and peaceful journey. EXAMS DISCONTINUED There’s bad news tonight! Ah, yes, there’s bad news tonight. A notice was issued from the office of Bulkeley School to the effect that there will be no more exams held. Immediately consternation reigned throughout the school. In order to maintain order, members of the Student Council laid aside their lunch-room clubs and started to patrol the halls with homemade tear-gas bombs—a mixture of “Coke” and soap—to which the students are unaccustomed. Smoke signals from the Faculty room indicated a refusal to comply with the Senior’s order for a fact-finding board. It is rumored that the Sophomore Class will go on strike Wednesday but Radical Minault was the only Sophomore who could be contacted, so your reporter was unable to confirm this. The entire Freshman Class has applied for admission to Tech, with the exception of Tracy who was heard to say, “I’ll stick it out for another year.” The arm-chair strategists of Room 22 have branded the move “unconstitutional” and have issued three Writs of Habeas Corpus—the corpus being A1 Sitty. A1 Clark threatened to resign and it is the consensus of the Senior Class that they are lucky to be going to college where things are normal. Remarks by some celebreties were: Red Sheehan, “What comes after ’Chickery Chick, chella chella?” Thomas, “What rhymes with Mabel?” O’Donnell, “It couldn’t happen in Detroit,” and Chandler, If before next year’s issue of the “Bungle Weekly”, any further developments occur, don’t look for them here as your reporter believes that the Juniors are unable to continue the exceptionally high standards set in this issue. Page one hundred thirty-eight WEEKLY “ALL THE NEWS NOT FIT TO PRINT” MURDER IN ROOM 26 or He Was Horn To He a Plnss Driver Because He Told Everyone Where To Get Off By O’Riely (Brother-in-law of O’Really.) Announcer: Our scene opens in a quiet, happy English class where a voice is heard to say— Dickinson: Darling, whisper those words which I long to hear. Unknown Voice: Eeeeeeeekkk!!! What a beak!!! Is it a nose, Or a hose ? Announcer: Suddenly a crash breaks thorugh this melodious silence and Bulkeley’s gift to organized woman—John M. Mallon, III, falls dead. (He’d been sitting there dead for 10 months anyway.) Presently Captain O’Grady and Postmaster General Clemens come on the scene. O’Grady: Round up the suspects, Clemens, and hurry. We have to get back to that case. Clemens: Ah yes! One of the best cases we’ve ever had, and we still have four bottles left. The first suspect A1 Clark. Clark: I’ll admit I hated him, ’cause he had such curly hair, but I knew just having that car of his was punishment enough for anyone. O’Grady: What about you, Mr. Reed? Ray Reed: I would have liked to have done it, but my bull-whip didn’t reach that far. Wait, there’s a clue!! A broken window!! Farina: Ye Gods, this is more serious than we thought, this window is broken on both sides!! Clemens: What have you got to say for yourself, Hirsch? Hirsch: I wrote a po’m ’Bout a burning deck Which Ray Reed said was rot. But I, myself, Who ought to know, Think it was pretty hot. I said it and I’m glad ... I said it and I’m glad . . . O’Gradv: We overlooked Bernstein . . . But wait a minute, where’s Thomas? Clemens: He’s out having a cheek to cheek talk with Mabel. Jones: You can’t blame it on me—on me, I said. I was outside—outside, you know. 1 was rewinding my yo-yo—I mean yo-yo, of course. So, you can’t blame it on me— on me, I said. Chandler: Well, we know two things, is it not so? We know it’s not the atom . . . bomb or war time . . . hysteria. Is it not so? O’Gradv: The case is too much for me. I’m going back to the pool room and see A1 Day and Joe Carey. Mr. Canty: Wait a minute! I’ll confess! I did it! I went to throw my super-double curve at Van Winkle but the chalk hit Sciallaba, bounced off Norm Elion and went flying out the window. It must have curved through your window and hit Mallon! Announcer: And so we leave our little everyday session and, as we listen to our theme song, we bid adieu to our contented friends.
