GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM The Girls’ Basketball Team finished a season of excellent playing on March 4, 1987. Much of this success is due to the faithful coaching of Mr. Douglas Roberts and Miss Hilda Haas as his assistant. Again this year Newtown was in first place with New Milford running a close second. Some of the team’s most valuable players will be lost this year through graduation. The girls who helped make the winter schedule a grand success were: Genevieve Johnson, Priscilla Northrop, Shirley Sussman, Polly Camp, Mary Wodjenski, Katherine Hosford, Cecelia Zaloski, Glenna Allen, Blanch Kwasniewski, Bernice Martin, Dorothy Bray, and Jean Prince. Kay Keating was the girls’ manager for this year. BOYS’ BASKETBALL TEAM The League Season was not entirely successful this year, although some splendid games weer played. One game was lost to Bethel after a hard fight. This was one of five games played away from home. The team also lost to Danbury Trade School after a hard, overtime game. All other league games were won. The team showed fight, form and good training. Two of the best games of the year, which were not league games, were the decisive defeat of Seymour and Terryville. the latter being 1936 champions. In the Alumni Game both teams played excellent basketball, the school team finally defeating the Alumni. With the exception of Ring, Griffin and Leahey, the entire squad will play next year. The following players won letters for the 1936-37 season: Nichola, Grace, Brutz, Ring, McNiff, Dourland, Leahey, Duda, Griffin, Onorato, Tyskiewicz, Osborne (Captain), and McMahon (Manager).

CLASS POEM By Louise Ashman Our way of life changetli and we must now supply The strength required to shift from youth’s bright days Lest childish ways unfit us for the world. Be of good cheer; for what have we to dread? We have passed that stage and gaze on it with joy. But now the time has come for us to choose The paths that lead the way to all our dreams. And to fulfill the hopes and plans that have Been placed in us. Therefore let us strive to Perform each duty thoughtfully, and make The world proud of all that we achieve. Remember too, to do our share when called. When clouds collect, look forward to the sun Which follows after shadows, and the rain. And tho’ the life we are about to start Seems hard and we become exhausted on the way We’ve pleasant thoughts to guide us through to light. And keep us ever cheerful at our tasks. We graduate tonight from youth to men. May this great change make real our cherished dreams And make us as we’ve always hoped to be. For here four years we’ve spent, and in that time Some knowledge has been gained, some friends are made Whom we will find more dear as time goes by. We leave all these tonight for other paths. And so we start to sail a sea All new and strange, uncanquered yet by ones So young. Still we are not afraid of what May come. Long have we stood waiting for the Time for us to cast away all youthful traits and Now that time is here; tonight we go our way.
