We will fight for the ideals land sacred things of this city both singly fond' together. We will revere and obey the city's laws, and do onr best to incite a like respect and reverence in those abofve its who are prone to anwnl or set thern at nanght. We will strive nnceasingly to quicken the pnblic sense of civic dnty. Thus, in all fways, we will ,transrnit this city, not only not less, bnt greater, better, and niore 'beantifnl than it was transmitted to ns. HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1945 B11 HELEN ANDERSON To each person the history of the class means something a little different. All of us will remember the many friends we have made, the happy hours we have spent, the little touches of comedy or sadness, of excitement and ,boredom that made up our daily lives. If this history were told in the form of headlines, it might go like this: UNUSUALLY LARGE FRESHMAN VC-LAJSS ENTERS NEW MILFORD HIGH .SCHOOL 108 Freshmen entered New Milford High School in September, 1941. Xve Started the year oil' with an assembly where we learned of the school's one rule. Oli, joy, just one rule! But we soon 'found out about the many regulations, a distinction hard for Freshmen to grasp. After the usual struggle to find our classes and to get adjusted to school life, we held our first important meeting as a class and elected our officers: Kit Carson, President 5 Louise Nelson, Vice-presidentg Harold Murphy, .Secretaryg and Lillian Fredlund, Treasurer. FERDINAND AMUSES Our Fresh-man social featured Ferdinand the Bulll, represented by Richard Morey and Benson Pace, Freddy Michalek, standing over the sleeping Ferdinand holding an umlbrella with corks hanging from it, was the cork tree. Ferdinand became quite active when the bumblebee, Leo Hulton, stung him. Most of the rest of the class took a lively part as pica- dors and matadors. We were quite cocky for Freshmen for we dared to imitate some of the Seniors. Four or five boys standing on each other's shoulders were needed to represent tall John Carson, the Senior class npresident. SN EAK ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR The Sunday the Japs ,attacked Pearl Harbor is one which we will never forget. From then on alll our school life was colored by the war. For days we hung about the radios, watched enviously 'while the older boys enlisted, and finally settled down to a life suddenly and sometimes frighteningly different. WILL THEY EVER LEARN? That's what everyone wondered as they watched our untiring efforts to learn to dance. Most of us did after much effort and we were delighted at our new skill which made high school life so much more enjoyable. A dancing class for beginners was part of our school routine. MANY FRESHMEN PARTICIPATE IN SPORTS Nothing bashffirl about our Freshman class! Boys and girls flocked to try out for every sport. George Thompson, Edwin Emmons, Norma Lathrope, Dot Traver and Pat Hulton went out for basketball 5 Charles Peyron, for track 5 Kit Carson, Harold Judson, Eddie Emmons, Bill Peck, Howard Hueston, and Peter Franklin, for footfballg Howard Hueston, Peter Frank- lin and Kit Carson, for baseball. Red-headed Pete Franklin made an extremely lively man- ager for baseball. His great contribution was to razz the other side untiringly. He was a good substitute for a perpetual motion machine. FPESHMEN SCORE IN DRAMATLCS ' Not only were the Freshm-en active in athletics but also in dramatics. VVe chuckled to see Eddie Drzal as the grandfather, Leo Hulton as the bashful beau and Jo Anne Kinig as the object -of his adoration in Mildred Is My Name. The Freshman Dramatic Club amused the assemlbly with a rip-snorting melodrama, Fireman Save My Child. Kit 1Carson with a long black moustache played the wicked villain and Louise Nelson looked sweet and demure as the blushing heroine. THE LCE CiR.E-AIM-WHERE WAS IT? A The Freshmen were pretty excited 5 their first year was over and they were having a picnic at the Town Park. Everything went fine until it was time to eat. All gathered around and then someone discovered that the ice cream was missing. Finally a tea-cher located it. Some bright boys had decided to see if they could get away with more th-an their fair share, but the rest of the class discouraged that! SOPHOMORE ELECTIONS HELD Elections were held and Paul Osborn became President, Louise Nelson continued as Vice- ,HJ 'V 4 President, Howard Hueston 'became Secretary, and Charles Squires took hold of the purse strings. PHYSICAL EDUCATION 'CLASSES STARTED What groans and moans arose when this news was broken! For a while the chief subject of conversation was sore muscles and aching backs, but after a while we started to enjoy our new course and worked proudly to give la demonstration to show the people of New Milford what we were doing. The two outstanding memfbers of our class were Joan Gale and Dick Weiss 'who surprised us all with their professional tumbling. STUDENTS LEARN WHAT TO DO UNTIL 'DHE DOCTOR COMES During our Sophomore year the war outlook was gloomy, no one knew What we might be called upon to face so the study of First Aid be-came a necessity. Classes, under the direc- tion of Mr. Roberts, were started and all students were required to attend. We all had a lot of fun bandaging each other and practicing artificial respiration. SOPHOMORES ENTERTAIN WELDON HIGH SCHOOL We received a letter from the Sophomore Class olf Weldon Hi-gh saying they would 'like to visit us. There was great excitement preparing for them, wondering what thy would be like, planning dancing and refreshments. The following Saturday night we Went to Buck Rock for a debate, but instead of debating, we danced. AIR RAID PRECAUTIONS TAKEN H The war was really hitting home. We were having lblackouts and practice daylight air raids. We all lined the halls, listening to music and dancing. or went to the assembly Where gymnastics took place under the direction of Mrs. Clark. Although most of us realized the seriousness of these practice raids, they did make an enjoyalble break in 'the school routine. SOPHOMORES WIN INTRAMTURAL CHAMPIONSHIP The Sophomore boys Won the 1943 intramural championship for basketball. We were proud to think we had beaten the bigger upper classmen. .TUNIORS ELECT PNUL OSBORN FOR SECOND TERM Assisting Paul were Kent Johnson, vice-president, Lillian Fredlund. secretary, and Howard Hueston, treasurer. .VUNIORS ENTERTAIN AT .SOCIAL Yes, the juniors entertained, but they entertained very few. A basketball game at Litch- field drew more of our students than our social did. .TUNTIORAS HOLD THEIR FIRST FORMAL The guests coming through the gang plank entered the assembly which represent-ed the inside of a ship, the U. S. S. Promenade. Life preservers and port holes gave a nautical touch. The music of George Beardsley, the bright blue and gold streamers and the many colored evening dresses added gaiety. Some of this changed after intermission, when, much to the disgust of some fpeople, many Seniors came back attired in dungarees and overalls! NWEW MILFORD HIGH SCHOOL WINS LEAGUE BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP It 'was an exciting .season with hard-lfought games and close scores. The Juniors who helped make this victory possible were Johnson, Feller, Carson, Judson, Kwvasniewski, Lynch, Pace and Osborn. l OSBORN GETS HIS LETTERS IN FOUR .SPORTS We were certainly proud 'of our president when he received his letters in football, 'basket- balll, baseball and track. He, as :far as we can 'find out, is the first boy in the history of the high school to achieve this honor. SENIORJS AT 'LAST ' ' It .seemed as though it would never come, but here we were in our Senior year at last. Our class elections fproved that Paul Osfborn would be our third term president with Margot Hedden as vice-president, and Benson Pace as secretary. Richard Lynch took over the mon-ey situation and did a good job of it as we can all testify. He never let us 'forget our financial obligations! h - FOOTBALL SEASON A SUCCESS ' We won the Housatonic League championship with an undefeated season. The final game on Thanksgiving Day with Bethel was the most exciting of the season. It was close all the way through and in the last few minutes, Johnson made a. spectacular pass to Benny Pace, who caught it over the goal line to tie the game. The whole first team was made up of Seniors with Kit Carson as manager. Seniors on the team were Lynch, Pace, Osborn, Peck, Johnson, Pitchard, Peyron, Weiss, J udson, Franklin, and Emmons. THE N INTH GUEST DRAWS RECORD AUDIENCES What bustle and excitement getting ready for this thrilling mystery! Almost the entire Senior class hammered, sawed, scrubbed, painted, cut and sewed under the direction of Mrs. William Sloan to create the beautiful modernistic penthouse that was the set. How the audience jumped -when the lights flashed from the electrified door and chair, when the guns went off and when Kit Carson and Kent Johnson staged a thrilling :fight with their figures silhouetted in the blue light! There were ticklish moments when blank-s were duds and when Paul Rhoades, who was supposed to be a corpse, almost choked trying to hold back an attack of coughing. MESS MERVVIN GIVES PARTY FOR SENIOR GLASS Miss Merwin said in a rash moment that if the Seniors would sell 500 tickets before the play, she would give the whole class a party. It was quite a party! Joe WVanwick penformed on the drums 3 Ricky Lynch sang An Irish Lullaby, and the quartet gave Michael Finni- ga.n.', The house shook when records were played fortissimo at the same time as Donald Thomas played Boogie Woogie chords on the piano and Joe really went to town on the drums. We fwonlt forget the cookies, especially the fbrownies, and that boiling hot cocoa. SENIOR PROM CELEBRATES ST. PATRICK'S DAY In honor of St. Patrick the hall was decorated with green and white streamers, big and little shamrocks and green pipes. Something new was introduced as the school queen, Eugenia Lewis, was crowned in a colorful ceremony. The crown was a halo of white roses. George Beardsley and his onchestra provided the music. PUTTING OUT THE YEAR BOOK OCCUPIES MANY SENIORS Under the direction of Mrs. Quist with Lois Place as editor and Bill Peck as assistant editor, most of the class worked to put out the important Yeanbook. NEW MILFORD BASEBALL TEAM UNDEFEATED, WINS 14 STRAIGHT GAMES AND LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP! What a baseball season! We will remember many an exciting game, especially the championship game against Washington played at Litchfield. The ,Seniors who have played on the team are Paul Osiborn, Stanley Kiwasnierwski, Ricky Lynch, Bob Feller, and Vincent Lucas. WAR HITS HOME We, as 'a class, have felt the strain of war throughout our four years of high school. As Freshmen we saw the beginning 3 as Seniors we saw V-E day and as we leave and march. into the world we'r-e hoping for V-Day. During these four years many of our boys have en- listed and during this year we have lost James Volinski to the Merchant Marines, and Joe DeCosa and James Armstrong to the Navy, and Kit Carson to the Marines. Many of the others are awaiting orders. LARGE CLASS GRADUATES FROM NEW MILFORD HIGH SCHOOL This is itg this is what we've been waiting for-graduation! Tonight we're all wondering, wondering what.it is going to be like and realizing that from now on what hap- pens to us is our own responsibility. As we leave we wish to express our sincere appreciation to Mr. Knox, Mr. Williamson, and to our teachers who have guided us through these past years. We also wish all of our classmates entering the service the best of luck and God-speed home. CLASS OFFICERS President: PAUL OSBORN .

Vice-President, PAUL ALTERMATT Secretary, BARBARA ADAMS Treasurer, LESTER RABENOLD Our class advisor is Mrs. Couch and the representative for the Student Coun- eil is Paul Altermatt. , The Sophomore Social was held on April 20th and was a much bigger suc- cess than our previous social. Basketball was the main sport for both boys and girls. We also had some out for football. There are approximately 110 pupils in our class at the present time. '23 JUNIOR CLASS The number of our class has somewhat dwindled from that of our Freshman year, many students having moved or gone into the service, and to these classmates we wish the very best of luck. We had our first class meeting in October and the following oilicers were re- instated: President, Rutledge Curtissg Vice-President, Theodore Schultz, Secretary, Sunny Lewisg Treasurer, Gerald Quammie. Mrs. Quist was our class advisor. Our Social was held March 9th and was a huge success. Many members of the class were very active in sports this year, mostly in basketball and baseball. On May 18th the Junior Class had their Prom which was the biggest and most successful event of the year. x 'x, , A 1 pci- T.. U V Y 1 1555!-Q1 if5' fii4 2 -xr 7 , 39513 1 -f 1 W L5 E :- 5 3 1.

We were pleased to be the winners of the magazine campaign conducted by the school. A Hallowe'en Masquerade Social was held on October 21. The year ended with a picnic at Lake Candlewood, and a Class Day was held in each room on the last day. '23 FRESHMAN CLASS We enter the Senior High trembling with fear. You can imagine the noise we made with our knees knocking. After all, 210 knees are very noisy. Having been late to each class about a dozen times, we finally got used to this confusing routine. At first, it was quite a novelty, but after a while it became a daily habit. Then came the new and terrifying task-taking report cards to Mr. Knox, the new principal. Clubs presented another new thrill. It wasn't very long before the Dramatic and Chanticleer Clubs realized our talents. We Freshmen, being well represented, took a large part in the play. The male contingent took over when it came to electing class officers. We elected Philip Peagler as President, Charles Stoddard as Vice-President, and Alfred Oschger as Secretary-Treasurer. The Freshmen Social was a surprise to each and every one. We had organized a band of our own, consisting of a cornet, clarinet and a trombone. The Kamenoff- Sherron act also went over with a bang and was never forgotten. lqjvl rd,-,,.. ' w. 1' -, A-1 .fy f ', ffm- ' ,-,.... M .....

Its record was seven wins and one tie. A large squad turned out and with an experienced first team, prospects looked good. Coach Williamson did a fine job of getting the boys into shape, and then our first game came up. The First Morris game: The green Morris team was completely out-classed, New Milford scoring at will. During the secondhalf the second and third teams got some valuable exper- ience. The final score was New Milford 64, Morris 0. The First Bethel Game: Our big rival was Bethel. We lost two hard-fought games to them last year, and were longing for revenge. After a hard, rough game played at Bethel, New Milford was on top 22-14. The outstanding feature was the stone-wall defense put up by New Milford against the heavier Bethel team. The First Washington Game: A heavier but less experienced Washington team was beaten on our home field, 341-18. The First Ridgefield Game: This game was one of the roughest and closest games played all season. Trailing by one point with only minutes to go, New Milford took the ball and scored in three plays to win, 24-19 The Second Morris Game: The first six suffered an off day and had accumulated only twelve points at the end of the half. Coach Williamson started the second team at the beginning of the third quarter and they rolled the score up to 62-0. The Second Ridgefield Game: Snapping out of their lethargy, the first string soundly trounced Ridgefield, 36-18, in a game that was rolled by the referee midway of the third period. The Second Bethel Game: On Thanksgiving Day, the big game with Bethel was played before a large crowd. A slippery playing field and wet ball hampered New Milford's passing attack and we had to come from behind to tie the score at 19 all. The scoring gem of the day was a beautifully executed 50-yard pass from Johnson to Pace. This tie gave New Milford the Housatonic Valley League Championship. The New Milford Lions' Club very kindly donated trophies to the team as a token of the town's appreciation of the fine job the boys had done. The Squad: Johnson, Osborn, Lynch, Pace, Peck, Pitchard, Peyron, Franklin, Judson, Emmons, Weiss, A. Carlson, Martin, Zaloski, Talbot, Schultz, Farrell, Glasner, Kramer, Piersall. C.

CLASS PROPHECY By Jo ANNE KING Twenty years ago to-day, June 15, 1945, was just as clear to me as though it were only yesterday. I remember it was early morning, the rain was streaming down and I had only one dollar and ten cents in my purse. I was walking along a side street when a -sign happened to catch my eye: Abracadabra ' h SWAMI , Only the truth told So throwing fate and a dollar to the winds I entered the small and very dingy shorp. Sitting in the middle of the room in Yogi fashion was Albracadabra the Swami. After he had made sure I had enough money with which to upay, he then 'asked me what advice I sought. I asked him if he could possibly foretell what my former classmates and friends would be doing twenty years hence. He mixed a nunrber of strange colored liquids together as he chanted queer sounding words. Then he gave it to me to drink. I hesitated, but I wasn't going to waste my dollar so I swallowed it quickly. It was a bitter, rather potent drink. My body felt light, my brain was groggy and the small shop began to fade away. Before my eyes a train came thundering past, stopped with a tremendous screeching of the brakes! The whistle blew and the engineer leaned out of the car. VVhy it was Ricky Lynch! Now instead of whistling at the girls he was whistling at the crossroads. The scene faded and I saw a short, stocky figure sitting at ia breakfast taible in a spacious penthouse. She opened a newspaper and with a start I recognized that giggle. Lois Pilch! I saw in amazement a column named She Knows It Before You Do, by Lois Pilch. As she turned the pages of the newspaper I saw headlines two inches high- Paul Rhoades-Vice President Elect. I always knew he would go places even though we did disagree in politics. After Lois had vanished in the mist that rose before my eyes, I could still hear her con- tagious giggle. What was this? A soapbox orator and around him people from all Walks of life listening attentively to his words of wisdom. As the scene grew clearer I recognized Dick Weiss. Well, that was no surprise to me, Dick could always talk his way into or out of anything. A lecture platform next appeared, on it Rosemary Jennings. In back of her was a large banner reading Housewives of the Nation, Unite. I listened to Rosemary ex- pounding upon the virtues of the household arts and my eyes wandered around the hall where -prize examples of homemaking were exhibited. What was this? A table of fbeautiful quilts all bearing prize ribbons and standing proudly behind it Ethel Hills, the outstanding creator of patchwork quilts. As the ovation for Rosemary died away I .seemed to hear music and laughter. Where was I? Then I knew-it was the theater Flannega.n's Funhousef' on lower Broadway. Who were those two on the stage smiling and bowing to thunderous applause? It cou1dn't be, 'but it was Howard Hueston and Cleon Pitchard, those erackpots of zany antics. Then they introduced Irene Morgan, the star-tap-dancer of the show. Ah! how good it was to see them again. Irene's act was over and I couldn't imagine who that stunning woman with the ebony hair was. It didn't seem possible but it was Marie Poletto. I listened to her voice and then I knew why she was the prima donna of the opera. Her song was soon over and she motioned for silence. Then she introduced her up-and-coming protege, Dolores Mount, whose contralto voice was unsurpassed. Marie and Dolores left the stage, 'but the show wasn't over yet for out came Donald Thomas whose piano playing was unexcelled and Doro- thy MoCarthy-the winner of many a popularity poll. I never heard such Boogie Woogie as that Donny played, and the way Dot sang along with him was enough to make you call that theater Hepcat Heaven. As I passed through the lobby of the theater a huge sign caught my eye. It said: Joe Warwick Leads the Solid Senders at Roxy's. Joe always used to send me solid when he gave out on those drums of his. The theater passed axway into dim memory and before my scalpels, sponges and operating tables floating about in mid-air. the mist took shapwit was a hospital. As I walked up the Shirley PRCBXS Hospital For Sane People. At the reception desk as you would expect-ibut dressed in the very latest sport outfit. Dot Hatch and I thought she wanted to be a nurse. I had no something led me to the hospital, so I strolled around awhile. As eyes appeared VVh'at could road I could I walked down who did I meet but Bob Feller, a noted brain surgeon who in his spare time, most of the time, played for the Men Over 30 baseball team. On I went down when a nurse came out of one of the rooms. It 'Was Anna May- Rooney. scissors and it fbe? Then see the sign sat a person-not in white Why, my goodness, it was idea Why I had come but the corridor which was the corridor We talked over old times and then without asking, I walked into the room and who did I see but Leo Hulton. He had invented a machine which did away with . 'all Work and after putting the gadget to use for several years he had come to the hospital for a rest cure. I soon left him and wandered out on to the terrace. I heard loud laughter and sounds of ga-iety -so I strolled towards the merriment and there in the midst of a bevy of beauties I spied Buddy Peyron. He had finally married a multi-millionaire's daughter and settled down to being just a play-boy. And there posed at the edge of the swimming pool was Helen Waters whose picture appeared on nearly every magazine cover. Taking her picture was suave and handsome Stuart 'Welwood, the dean of photography for'that current year. Quite a ways from the pool there were several tennis courts and on one a 'fast and furious game of tennis' was being played. I meandered down and who should be on the court but Kent Johnson and Bill Peck, Kent with as fine a physique as ever only a little stouter, and Bill with much more ha-ir than he had had in school. I found out later that he had been wearin-g a toupee. I then decided that the hospital was misnamed. It should have fbeen Shirley Pace's Hospital for Lazy Individuals. The hospital faded away and a tremendous noise which came closer and closer frightened me so that I-fainted. VVhen I revived who was bending over me but Benson Pace, bound for some unknown destination in his new type of motorcycle The Benny Zoomerf' Death was never so near as when Benny passed me by. Once again the haziness enveloped me and all I could see were clouds flying around and bumping into one another. Each cloud had a face in it. That one over there-why it was Marjorie KI'USky, and that one was Lucille Grey and then there were Jane Staub, Marguerite Burch, Barbara Cashion, Doris McCahey and Clara Morsey. What did they represent? Then it dawned on me they were all members of a clwb called Captains of the Airwavesf' But all had been grounded for speeding through clouds. There were also images of Marty Lillis and Vinny Lucas with wrenches in their hands. Both were airplane mechanics. Just as the haze began to fade away I had a quick glimpse of Eugene Pare with a hose in his hand. I-Ic serviced airplanes for a transcontinental airplane corporation. All at once I heard .sounds of someone announcing, I couldn't imagine what it Was. Then after straining my eyes I saw Dick Morey fiddling with a radio -and on his face was a look of smug satisfaction. I-Ie had just finished fixing his radio-he always did have an albility for tinkering. As he turned the dial and finally stopped at one station I heard the news of the social world. Patsy Hulton was the announcer and three of her items held my at- tention- Eddie Emmons, editor of the famed Weekly Blah and his wif,e, Margot Hedden, have announced the arrival of twins by the names of Edwina and Edwin. Ruth Fredlund has at last been presented at the 'Court of St. James and her appearance was imrpressive. Joanie Gale has set up in good old New Milford, Conn., a school for stocky and 'listless wo- men. Her course features only sixteen easy lessons. As Patsyls voice faded away and once again I floated through space I heard the tinkling of a tiny bell. The tinkle grew louder and louder and I found myself passing through the door of the Jo-Gene Dress Shoppe. That woman behind the counter looked very familiar and she reminded me of myself. Why, it was me, slightly dyed and slightly older--but it was still me. Who was I waiting on? I could hardly recognize her because of the sparkle of the diamond jewelry she was wear- ing. VVhen she spoke I knew right away it was Anne Nicholson, wife of the famed Mortimer Belch, owner of a large soft-drink concern. As I passed into the back of the shop I saw Jean Petras, co-owner of the shop, reclining on a chaise lounge, and near her lbending over a drawing board was Minerva Smalley. Minerva designed exclusively for the shop's select clientle. She had created a new fashion ensemble for the American woman. As the shop passed away in a kaleidoscope of colorful silks and satins I seemed to see wind blowing through tall grass. As I came closer the grass turned into sugar cane, and roaming through the rows of cane was the owner of the plantation, Peter Franklin. Pete was still raising cane only now it was sugar cane in Louisiana. A-s I turned to leave the field I heard Pete shout Huzzy Boy and down the field came Asvero Rosato. He was 8. salesman for Pete's new product. A sugar which can 'be used for either salt or sugar. This new discovery had been perfected by Leon Smyrski one of the best known research chemists in the country. The next sensation which had come to me le-ft me feeling slightly airsick for I had fancied myself to be suspended in air and -going up and down a-s though I were in a heli- copter. I seemed to be flying over a vast ranch which stretched for miles and miles and as I gazed over the side of the plane I could see a dim figure down below, waving madly. The face loomed large and I saw that it was Harold Judson, who was a breeder of a famous strain of race horses. From Nevada I flew straight to Wisconsin where my automatic pilot set me down on a large dairy farm. I walked towards the building in front of me which was spacious and clean looking. Standing in the door was Joseph Docktor, whose strain of cows gave whipped cream. Then back to my plane and ofl' to Texas where once again I was set down on unknown soil. There seemed to be a festival of some sort going on. Around a huge barbecue pit stood a group of people who had come to Texas to enjoy the wild and woolly West. In the midst of the group was Doryce Ohlin, owner of the dude ranch. As my plane once again soared high in the sky I seemed to be falling down, down, down. And I awoke with a start. The effect of the liquid had worn off' and I rose un- steadily to my feet and without any further conversation with the Swami I walked out of the shop and into the wfuture which lay ahead. fi 1.3 .Q .2 K: 1 3 1 . li 25 'ff??3 .1 E915 AE W, P' 4 y.

Ohlin, Arnold, Barlow, E. Traver, Warwick, Amazeen and Sandell. High scorers for the year were Crabb, Lathrope, and Hedden. The girls made a good start this year, after ,no league games were played. The credit for our good record goes to the girls, of course, but without Miss Northrop and Miss Worthington, our coaches, and Manager Marie Carlson, we could not have achieved our goal. . ' '2 B BOYS' BASKETBALL We had a fairly good season, having won six games and losing five. 'Thus taking third place in the league. Alfred Zaloski was our season's star with a total of 144+ points out of the team's 348. He made 64 field goals during the season. Kent Johnson and Paul Osborn come next. High scorer on the second team was Bob McQueen. The schedule and final scores were as follows: Newtown 19 N.M.H.S Bethel 35 N.M.H.S Woodbury 344 N.M.H.S Alumni 22 N.M.H.S Washington 12 N.M.H.S Danbury Trade 37 N.M.H.S Newtown 24: N.M.H.S Bethel 341 N.M.H.S Woo-dbury 20 N.M.H.S Danbury Trade 4-0 N.M.H.S. 29 Washington 48 N.M.H.S. 39 The Squad: Emmons, Zaloski, Johnson, Osborn, Martin, McQueen, Peagler, Quammie, Law, Schultz, Synic, Piersall, Greenhaus, Edwards, Kramer, Barton.

The Council had no outside help this year with the war stamps, but it was found to work out just as well. They carried out their other duties according to the new constitution, drafted last year, meeting once a week on alternate periods. The ofhcers were: President, PAUL OSBORN Vice-President, RUT Cunriss . Secretary, MARc,:oT H1-:DDEN Assistant Treasurer, JOANNE K1Nu '23 1945 BASEBALL TEAM The 19-15 team continued the winning streak of seven games established by the 19414 team and extended it to twenty games by winning all thirteen games and remaining undefeated for the season. The team featured hard hitting, smart alert base-running, and good pitching. T'l1e season's games were full of thrills- four being for extra innings--with the resounding 7-0 triumph over Washington in the H.V.S.L. Championship game climaxing a perfect season. This is the sec- ond c-onsecutive baseball championship won by the school. The team is undefeated in two years of league play. The 1945 team was built around four veterans: Feller, Osborn, Curtiss, and Kwasniewski. Paul Osborn, captain, playing his fourth season, led the team in runs scored-25, and in stolen bases-17, and established a four-season school batting average of .330. Bob Feller, fleet centerfielder, led the team in batting with a .387 average. Rut Curtiss supplied some excellent pitching, winning 'ten games and finish- ing the season with pitching three shut-outs over Abbott Tech., Bethel, and Wash- ington. Stanley Kwasniewski, catcher, and Richard Lynch, 3rd, supplied timely power at the plate. Zaloski, 2nd, Carlson, rf, and Glasner, lf, had good first season records.

At the end of the year the new editor was chosen by the members of the club, and next year's staff was picked by the present editors and advisor. The Chanticleer is a monthly publication which comes out ten times a year with a special Student Council Supple- ment in the Spring. For the month of June a special 241-page issue was published, featuring the graduating class. It is unusual for a school the size of N.M.H.S. to have a printed paper like The Chanticleer. Subscription per year is 50 cents, mailed subscription 75 cents. K. y DJ Q9 DRAMATIC CLUB The officers for the past year have been as follows: President: PETE FRANKLIN Vice-President: KIT CARSON Secretary: ALICE DUDA Treasurer: PAUL OSBORN The major event of the year was the play, A Little Honey, which was given April 13 and 14. Doris Burden took tlIe part of a girl in love with a sailor, Sandy Carson. She isn't sure how to get her man, so mother CBctty Ohlinj, Grandma fWanda Woodworthj, and Father fRonald Geroj give her advice with strange re- sults. Jerry CBarbara Knightj and Albert CPete Franklinj, the boy she is interested in, have their own troubles involving an evening dress and a gasoline lawn mower. Scoots fJanet Arnoldj wants to feed bugs to Pegasus, her frog. Sfhe -gets the wrong kind of bugs, so the Sure-Shot Exterminator man fEugene Farrellj is called on the scenes. The comic maid CGail Sheeronj, the nurse fBetty Jarrettj, and the Southern widow who was after a Iman fDor.othy McCarthyj added shumor to the play. Miss Merwin directed the play and Mrs. William Sloan was in charge of the scenery. The Sophomores gave an old-fashioned melodrama one club meeting. Janice Stevens gave a talk on dramatics and illustrated by reading The Most Dangerous Game and doing several monologues. 23th, 1,--an-b X 'J' 1'-rx Jw A 11 ,.,. r ' , we M' in-v Ill! I mu K ..
