About ten years ago, it is true, a class of twenty-three boys and twenty-three girls graduated; but our class is more remarkable as it has almost twice as many boys as girls. It was always so. As Freshmen we began with fifty-four boys and forty-two girls. Many of our first classmates have moved to other towns or schools or are working. We have graduating with us tonight forty boys and twenty-six girls. The first days of school were very confusing as they are with all FreShmen. Many of us had never been in the building before for we came from schools out of town. On the first day when we were told to march down here to the assembly hall, we wondered if we would be able to find our way back to our rooms—but we fared quite well by following someone who sat near us and apparently knew the building. The size of the class made it necessary to make divisions for all studies and it seemed we would never learn to go to Algebra second period instead to English. Eventually the mystery of stairs, doors, and schedules was cleared. I can remember one of the more venturesome and humorous Freshmen walking around Mr. Knox’s room to the pencil sharpener dragging behind him a string to which was tied a rubber hot dog. This same person tied the belt of one of the fiery girls of our class to the back of her seat. Then he put her ink bottle on a desk two seats away. She began to get up in a great huff for the ink bottle. She made several attempts to secure it before she discovered that she was tied down. The victim erupted as hotly as any volcano for several minutes and made such an impression on that boy, that the teacher saw no reason for punishing him. After we had become acquainted with one another we held an election of officers. We chose as president Gilbert Osborne, vice-president Frank McMahon, secretary John Peterson, treasurer Marshall Munch. The presidents of the following years have been Francis McNiff, Frederick Scholze, and Francis Nicola. This is an example of the way the boys have dominated from the start. They have kept this ruling characteristic in all activities, for the only girl officers chosen were Katherine Hosford and myself. Bow day is an old school custom observed each year by the Sophomores. Sophomore classes always feel very mature and important as soon as they get over being Freshmen, and Bow Day is intended to remind them of their childhood. One dav in the spring both boys and girls wear bows to school. Our boys tried to be ridiculous by wearing rainbow colored ribbons as bows on their arms, wrists, hair and necks. The girls were more discreet and wore pastel shades of ribbon in tiny bows in their hair. This wearing of bows in the hair was already a style for the girls so they did not seem so unusual. We were having a striking and happy dav until some of the Seniors put us in our places by exclaiming, “Aren’t they cute?” But our self esteem came back to us. One day later in the year while we were having English in the Senior room, several of the Senior boys jumped upon their seats and began to scream. I looked and there on the floor was a mouse! The girls hardly moved and I dare to say they were not terror-stricken. Did we Sophomores have the laugh on the Seniors then! It is customary for notices of school events to lie written on the blackboards of the different rooms. Some of these notices certainly did have queer twists attached to them such as “Baseball—sliding practice only.” This appeared on an unseasonably snowy dav when the baseball season had just begun. “Diving practice from town bridge after school.” This on one of the coldest days in winter. Admission to the socials was one dollar instead of ten cents. Tn the fall there appeared this notice, “Any girls interested in playing football meet in lab.” Notices about the music for socials by Johnny Grey’s amplifier developed into “Swing and sway with Johnny Grey.” The two greatest social events in our Junior year were the Junior Prom and the Dramatic Club play. The prom has always been the big social event of the year and it was the first event in which just about all the class had a part. Before the prom it was necessary to choose class colors which would be used in decorating the hall. The colors we selected were blue and white. Everyone had a happy time and it was a decided help to our treasury. By this time many of the class were members of the Dramatic Club. The club gave a very interesting operetta, Pinafore,” and a one-act play, “Two Crooks and a Lady.” At an assembly they presented a memorable one-act comedy, “The Red Lamp.” Our boys have always made a fine showing in athletics and they have a record we have every right to be proud of. Just think of the fun the coach is going to have next year with basketball, for all the main team graduates this year! The boys on the team were Francis McNiff, John Petersen, Francis Nicola, “Ki-yi” Dourland, Carl Brutz, Ted Duda, Richard Onorato, John Grace, Gilbert Osborne, and “Fog” Castle. Some of these boys coached teams made up of other students and formed the Nut League. There were the Walnuts,” “Butternuts,” “Hazel Nuts” and such. This gave many boys experience in the game and it was fun too. As Juniors we were honored in receiving the interclass basketball trophy. This year after the boys had been awarded the Housatonic Valley League trophy, they played the usual round of tournament games in Hartford. They lasted the preliminaries and played one game in the tournament. Francis McNiff was chosen all-state center for schools of our size. The girls struggled to be recognized and were when they won the Housatonic Valley League trophy. They too were champs. Polly Camp and Jean Prince, the captain, were the only ones on the team from this class, and they both deserve much credit for the team’s success. This year marked the first year in many years that the high school has had a football team. Mr. Williamson and Mr. Douglas did the coaching. Again the line-up was mostly made up of Senior boys. Baseball started in full swing with “Ki-yi” Dourland, Herb Kennedy, and Gib Osborne as the star pitchers from this class. Each year of our school life seems more enjoyable than the one before—but the climax to it all is the Senior year. This last year was so outstanding and such fun that the first three years seem very remote. At the beginning of this year we mighty Seniors strutted to classes very aloof and bored with those minute beings called “underclassmen.” Lessons were just one of those things that had to be put up with, but what a good time we did have! The Senior Prom was planned and executed with pomp and ceremony that awed the other classes, and we as Seniors enjoyed this superiority. Again the class had to be different by decorating the hall with every color of crepe paper that we could buy. After the Prom we looked forward to the Senior Play. The Senior Play is the big event of the year in that every one takes part. Each one of the class is either ushering, in the play, or on one of the numerous committees. The boys triumphed again in “A Pair of Sixes.” Harry Cohen and “Fog” Castle were the leading characters with a supporting cast of five boys and only four girls. As all classes we have had our share of work. Before the plays, the proms, the socials and the food sales, the most important thing in our lives was to make each event a success. All details and plans were magnified until the affair was over and then it just became one of the notches in our maze of memories. This school has in four years changed us from children to thoughtful young men and women and has prepared some of us for desired careers. Many of the class after graduation will secure positions while others will study in a wide variety of schools; but always, no matter where they are, they remember with reverence the years in High School and this class of 1938.

G RLJ BAJKl TBALL 3oyj' BASKETBALL THE GIRLS’ BASKETBALL SEASON 1937-38 When The Call for basketball practice came, about thirty girls attended. After a few weeks of practice, the long-awaited day came and the members of the first team were announced. They were: P. Camp, J. Stevens, B. Kwasniewski, H. Crabb, J. Prince, A. Straub, It. Conn, R. Koehler, P. Chalmers, I). Slater, M. Hal-pine and D. Law. Our first game on November 11, with Newtown, proved to be very exciting. This ended in our victory as did our next game with Bethel. Our-much-looked-for-ward-to game with Washington ended in our defeat. This slightly dimmed our chances for the championship. However, our next game with Woodbury brightened our chances. Much to our excitement we learned that our next opponent was Washington! This game was played at Newtown. The girls played the best game of the year. The first half ended with Washington five points in the lead. New Milford rallied in the last half allowing Washington only one basket. When the final whistle blew the score was 27-18 in favor of New Milford, which made us champions of the southern part of the Housatonic Valley League. The next Friday we won from Sharon and this made us the champions of both parts of the League. We ended our basketball season by having a banquet at the Hotel Green in Danbury. Our highly successful year was largely due to the coaching of Miss Rosemary Paris. The High School Basketball Team had a very successful season. They lost only one league game, defeated 15-13 by Bethel. Later in the season they beat Bethel in New Milford and again in the play-offs at Newtown. This gave the New Milford boys the Southern division championship and the right to play Sharon for the League championship. The boys again came through with a 38-22 win over Sharon. After winning two games in the elimination contest of the C and D tournament the boys lost in the quarter finals to a strong Thomaston team who had beaten New Milford previously. The score of the Thomaston game was 37-31. With the exception of Ghoines and Peagler the players will all graduate this June.
