New Milford High School - Schaghticoke Yearbook (New Milford, CT)

Text from Pages 1 - 84 of the 1949 volume:

We, the Senior Class of 1949, dedicate our Yearbook to the memory of Sheila Ann Corey. A friend, classmate and inspiration, we will cherish always the memory of her warm heart and even courage. Though this book may be forgotten, the spirit of dedication, deep within our hearts, cannot fail to remain with us.

WILLIAMSON PRINCIPAL WELDON R KNOX • UPIRINTtNOKNT Dear Graduate, Another school year has been completed, and the day Is at hand when the Class of 19 9 will pass through those doors which have heretofore served as the entrance to New Milford High School, and which now may be considered as the entrance to the wider worlds of life. Many have held the impression that graduation and the receipt of a diploma marks the achievement of a goal. Such a view, however, is far from the larger fact, soon to be more fully realized, that this point in life marks a beginning, not an end. The past four years have been, it is hoped, a period of exciting prospects—a transition period, one which has provided sound preparation toward a happy and useful life. Now, at its close, there is an opportunity for each graduate to carefully consider that preparation, and how extensively it will help in the pursuit of his chosen field of life work. May each more fully realize, too, the help received from teachers and other interested citizens. Many citizens have clearly demonstrated their intense feelings for the welfare and progress of our school by untiring work on various committees organized to study the needs of present and future pupils—needs which must be met if graduates of New Milford High are to have preparation equal to that available to graduates of other communities who are similarly entering into the challenging arenas of life. Therefore, realizing that these four years are spent in preparation for going through life in a successful manner, you, as a citizen of new stature in the community, have a debt to maintain interest in our school and to do everything possible to give not only the same but better opportunities to those who follow you. We must give more consideration to what our school ought to teach, and how these subjects ought to be taught. This is doubly necessary, when we realize how the vast and complicated responsibilities of adult citizenship require extended civics, vocational and cultural education. It is extremely important that we make New Milford High a school where all our youth may receive the training best adapted to them, and one that will give an opportunity for every boy and girl of New Milford to be prepared for useful citizenship as well as for a personally happy and contented With Best Wishes, 3 RICHARD D.

HOWARD FREDRICK LANE Whose fun-loving disposition we have missed during last year in high school, and whose cheerful courage shall always remember and admire. our we SENIOR FEATURES C fciAA J!I.or by Viola Page and Marilyn Greenhaus Miss Weaver! Dot Michalek did a grand job playing In September 1945, almost eighty of us found our- the piano with her toes, but the applause went to the selves Freshmen in N.M.H.S. We were lost, frightened and bewildered, but before nine o’clock most of us had found our home room seats. Soon after, we were hustled into the Assembly where we heard the now familiar words, I'm glad to see you back and to look at all your bright and shining faces. These were spoken by our principal, Mr. Richard Williamson, ' f; After hearing the welcoming speech, with a few regulations, we returned to our home rooms where we received our schedules. We found our classrooms, and yes, even our study halls, after being knocked down and walked upon by the Seniors. Although we didn't know how to study, we soon learned. Our science classes with the lovable Mr. Malonis will always be cherished memories. What fun—and to think we learned about science at the same time! The Freshmen soon became acquainted and we decided it was time to hold our first class meeting. Mr. Malonis was chosen as advisor with Anne Altermatt as President. The team was backed by Dave McGold-rick, Patricia Peet, and Duane Adams, who served as Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. jLj In October we received our first report cards and soon found out it was the custom to bring them to the office for discussion. One by one we lined up outside the office door with knocking knees and chattering teeth. We would have made perfect substitutes for Spike Jones and his City Slickers ! In March we presented the Freshman Social, which proved to be our biggest event of the year. The Case of the Bloody Breadknife” was enacted quite realistically. Bob Lynch made a grand last minute substitute and caused great comment! We will always remember the first appearance of Al Jolson, who, in disguise, was really Glenn Leahey. In September 1946 we again entered N.M.H.S., only this time as Sophomores. As usual, we chose a class advisor, and this year Mr. Kelly took over. Anne Altermatt and David McGoldrick won recognition by again taking office as President and Vice President, with Ivan Burdick as Secretary and Janet Brudis as Treasurer. Our social was held in January. A great performance was made by Lena the Hyena, none other than famous Rockettes, played by Stuart Chase, Dick Geissinger, Malcolm Carrier, Paul Staub, Bob Lynch, Glenn Leahey, and Barry Gero. Our social was over and now we could look forward to a greater one the next year. Before we realized what had happened, the last day of school had come and, in September, we would be Juniors. The day we had looked forward to for the past two years had arrived. We were upperclassmen, and looked down upon only by the Seniors! However, this was balanced by our position of seniority, which we in turn enjoyed over Freshmen and Sophomores during the course of the year. Our first class meeting of the year was held with Anne Altermatt and David McGoldrick copping the Presidency and Vice Presidency for the third consecutive year. The office of secretary was taken by Dot Rielle, with Ivan Burdick as Treasurer. Mr. Graham took the class under his wing, and we then progressed into one of our most profitable years. The Junior Social was a huge success, with so many people attending that the entire assembly was filled. Everyone had to admit that it was the best social of the year, and even the Seniors will never forget the fun we had electing Daisy Mae and L'il Abner! A regular Dogpatch wedding was held, with Bob Lynch as Hairless Joe, Dick Geissinger as Marrying Sam, and Irving Armstrong as the Senator, with, of course, Janet Brudis as Daisy Mae, and Alfy Purdy as L'il Abner. Our first Prom came as a very happy, busy time. After countless meetings and the selections of committees, the memorable night arrived. The decoration committeemen, headed by Stephanie Smyrski, outdid themselves. The auditorium represented a Japanese garden. A birch bridge, Japanese lanterns, the presence of real, scented lilacs tended to carry out the effect. The lilac bushes around New Milford were somewhat bare after this event! Dot Rielle and Ann Lund were elected as our Prom Queers. It was the first time in the history of the school that there were two queens chosen, but it added to the excitement. Finally the big moment arrived: we were Seniors and sitting on top of the world! What a feeling of 24 importance and superiority v)e had! Our first class meeting of the year was held and, for the first time in this four-year history of our class, a male student was elected President. Jimmy Caldwell received that honor, and proved to be a hardworking, ambitious leader. Glenn Leahey was made Vice President, assisted by Dot Rielle as Secretary and David McGoldrick as Treasurer. The Seniors went all out for sports, with Marty Weiner as manager of the Football Team. Andy Chark was made co-captain, and Bob Lynch and Duane Adams did a swell job. Dick Cavonius, though never a regular, symbolized the tireless good sportsmanship which helped carry the team to memorable victories. To celebrate our victories, the cheerleaders held a football hop on November 24th, and a wonderful time was had by all. Senior cheerleaders in-cuded Dot Rielle (Captain), Libby Haenel (1st Lieutenant), and Stephanie Smyrski. Then came the Senior Social, when we were entertained by an orchestra composed entirely of Seniors. They played anything from an old washboard to Doc Hunt's best clarinet. We were all very impressed by the star ballet dancer, who was, surprisingly, Malcolm Carrier! Soon came the memorable Senior production of The Ghost Train. We will never forget poor Gail Treat’s chicken pox, and Marilyn Greenhaus with Julia's part to learn in three days! Tragedy struck again in the form of Barry Gero's mumps, but with the aid of Dick Cavonius, who took over, we pulled through admirably. Others included in the cast were Marty Weiner, Lorraine Washburn, Dave McGoldrick, Libby Haenel, Jimmy Randall, Jimmy Caldwell, Janet Brudis, Paul Staub, and Stuart Chase. Janet Brudis' tipsy scene left the audience rolling in the aisles, with Jimmy Randall's jokes adding to the confusion! And now we are facing one of our hardest tasks ever: that is, leaving New Milford High. Graduation and Classnight are coming soon and we, the graduating class of 1949, wish to extend our deep thanks and sincere appreciation to Mr. Knox, Mr. Williamson, the faculty, and all those who have made the past years so enjoyable and pleasant. Special thanks and appreciation are due Mr. Graham, who has worked along with us to help make each event in our last two years a memorable and successful occasion. Without him we would have missed many happy and pleasant times. 2S CU Witt by Pauline Randall We, the class of one thousand nine hundred and forty-nine, of New Milford High School, town of New Milford, County of Litchfield, State of Connecticut in the United States of America, hereby solemnly swear this to be our last will and testament, and do will and bequeath our outstanding attributes as follows: I, David McGoldrick, leave my superior debating power to Stuart Wells.

We, The Class, leave to Mr. Graham a filing cabinet to keep his original ideas in alphabetical order. 27 29 ecf of 1949 by Stephanie Smyrski and Abigail Treat As I walk up the path, through the great iron gates leading to the White House, I feel an almost overcoming anticipation. The President of the United States, David Thomas McGoldrick, has invited me to his fifth inaugural celebration. Although I haven't been in Washington lately, I have kept up correspondence with the Vice-President, Stephanie Smyrski, who is hostess for this affair. A peculiar man in a kelly-green suit, with matching derby and brief case, rushes past me. I shockingly realize that this is Geoffrey Graham, the official punster of the executive department. I've heard that Mr. Graham ran out of high school audiences, and was forced to pursue the only group that would listen to his jokes. Now, approaching the main entrance to the White House, I see a great many people on the lawn around me. One man in particular seems very familiar. Why, it's Maurice Grossenbacher, who was also a member of my high school class. Maurice has been very successful as chairman of the International Farm Bureau. Stephanie hangs her head out of the window, beckoning me to come in, but I'm waylaid by Elsie Adams, this year's winner of the Golden Gloves title. As I make my way through the milling crowd, after escaping Elsie without acquiring a black eye, a wave of horror sweeps over me as I find myself staring into the glistening eyes of a huge African lion! My consternation is somewhat relieved as I discover that the lion is led on leash by the renowned big game hunter, Teddy Booth. At long last I manage to arrive at the door where Stephanie is waiting. She smiles and says: Why, Abigail, how good it is to see you. I trust your trip from England was a pleasant one? I hear that the command performance of your latest picture 'Obsessed' was a huge success. Thank you, Stephanie. You know, don't you, that John Berthelsen co-starred with me. It was a great honor, for John was voted this year's most ardent lover by the Gallop Polls. I’ve just been talking to our old classmates, Stewey and Lorraine. Their new product, 'Chase and Washburn Coffee,' is drunk by two out of every three people nowadays. They said that they ran into Herby Armstrong while they were in New York on business. He was on his way to the Metropolitan Opera House to play a violin duet with Jascha Heifitz. Speaking of the 'Met.,' Harvey Conn and the New York Philharmonic are playing there, aren't they? Yes, the reviews speak very highly of his orchestral direction. Even Dick Geissinger, the most talked about tenor in opera today, says that there is no finer conductor. I'm sorry that my old friend Anne Altermatt couldn't come as planned. She's on an important case for the F.B.I. Anne has worked her way up through the Bureau until now, when J. Edgar Hoover resigns, she will assume his position, in the top drawer, of course. Did you know that Dick Cavonius was here? I can scarcely believe that a member of the old class of 49 created 'The Evolution of Interplanetary Relations'. Yes, I saw him over near the piano, talking with John O'Donnell about the prospects of higher mathematics in secondary schools. John teaches calculus and advanced mathematics at Harvard now. I wrote invitations to all the members of our high school class so that we could have a class reunion. This morning I received a telegram from our Ambassador to Brazil, Duane Adams, expressing regret that he could not come because of some sort of difficulties he is having with the Amazons. Admiral Paul Pare’s fleet is going down there tomorrow to try to rescue him. Doctor Paul Staub was also unable to come tonight because of an emergency case at Leahey Clinic. Mentioning doctors, is Doctor Weiner here? Or couldn't he leave his cow and horse hospital? Yes, Marty is here. He's going to speak tonight on the great research being done in the veterinary field. He wants Congress to pass a law shortening the plow horse's working week. His assistant, nurse Viola Page, will also deliver a speech. Oh, there's Bill Burnett proudly showing everyone the Certificate of Merit he received as owner of the nation's safest taxi fleet. That reminds me, have you heard that the world's fastest midget auto demon, Warren Carlson, cracked up at the Danbury Race Way last week and broke his leg? Patricia Peet, his ace mechanic, claims that it was the fault of a loose valve, but I think he took his eyes off the track! Here comes Norman Smith accompanied by Malcolm Carrier, the White House detective. Smitty was sent by the New York Times to photograph the inaugural celebration. 30 Ann Lund is using the celebration as subject for the cover of this week's Saturday Evening Post. Don't you think Arthur Johnson is a splendid auctioneer on the new Lucky Strike program? Yes, and Janet Brudis is an even better commedi-enne than Jack Benny. I can't stop laughing for hours after listening to her program. It's a riot the way she insists she’s still eighteen, after twenty years of broadcasting. Glenn Leahey is here tonight to impersonate Al Jolson, as a special request from the President's personal bodyguard, Alfred Purdy. lam told that former history teachers, Misses Jo-Ann Maloney and Betty Burnham, are in Washington doing research on the Constitution for a new book that they are writing with the aid of Michael Campo, the well known Supreme Court Justice. There goes Gay Pomeroy, the famous mountain climber. She's just returned from crossing the Himalayan Hump. She and her guide, Henry Chatain, were cited for bravery after rescuing nineteen passengers from a plane that had crashed into Mt. Everest. Among those rescued were U.N. interpreters Pauline Randall and Marilyn Greenhaus, the reputable archaeologist John Wolinski, and Harry Shrack, who were returning from an Undertakers' Conference in Egypt. It was just by chance that the Secretary General of the United Nations, Clinton Fredlund, missed being on that very plane. I see your secretaries, Gladys Rzchowski and Barbara Bouquillon, over there talking’to Barbara Sullivan, chief dietician at the Washington General Hospital. Look! Everybody is gathering over there. Why, it's Jimmy Randall. His first trip to the moon must have been sensational, judging from the excited comments. Bimmie Maiaspina, the inventor of his rocket ship, is also getting quite a bit of attention. Herbert White, head of the million dollar butchers union, brought us down some choice meat from the Armour Packing House in Chicago. Jane and Jack Lillis sent their twelve children down from the Parker-Lillis Truck Gardens with some vegetables. Carl Alfredson, king of the Gluggie Islands, sent up some bananas because he couldn't be here himself. Why, Steph, look at that woman over in the corner; whatever is she doing??? That s Dot Michalek. She's still dancing the polka after winning a marathon award for danc- ing continuously for six days. She can't stop! We're lucky that Jean Gesell could come. She left Barnum and Bailey's Circus obligingly to do her tight-rope walk for us tonight. Marianne Duhan is still champion bronc-buster, but we couldn't find a place for such a dangerous thing as a wild horse around here, so she won't perform this evening. Kaye Steck, the eminent journalist, whose advice to the Lonely Lovers column in McCall's has won acclaim everywhere among drooping souls, is sacrificing her column this month to write about the inaugural celebration. Barbara Lucas, head of the Rat Extermination Society, brought a new variety of traps to distribute among our guests. It has the seal of approval of our Secretary of Agriculture, James Caldwell. Our Secretary of State, Ernest Legault, is thinking of introducing the same trap abroad, to catch some of the international rats. Guess what! Bobby Lynch, who owns the Once-over Modeling Agency, is trying to get this year's choice for Miss America to sign a contract to model for him. Isn't it wonderful that our own Dorothy Lee Rielle was first choice at Atlantic City? Yes, and aren’t you excited that pitchers of the two top baseball teams, opponents in the World Series, the St. Louis Cardinals and the New York Yankees, are Jackie McCarroll and Andy Chark? Isn't it wonderful? Look, isn't that Arlene Col, president of the Fringe Buggy Corporation? Arlene is trying to make buggies more popular by lecturing about the danger of an improper carriage. Aren't you glad that Louis Drzal sold so much tobacco last year? The Drzal tobacco, with Louis' picture on the cans, is the best in the country. I've been told that Leslie Ernhout is affiliating his company with the Drzal company in order that he and Louis may become partners. Did you know that Joan Edwards and Carolyn Lindman are operating an orphanage in Bulgaria? They were unable to leave their 3,000 children so they won't be here today. There's Barbara Green chatting with Elisabeth Haenel. Barb runs a matrimonial bureau in New York and Lib travels all over the world looking for prospects. They did so well that Greenie is married to the King of Siam. Ybbil is engaged to the owner of a cafe in Monte Carlo. 31 By the way, I was staying last week at the Groucho Hotel in Atlantic City and was very much surprised to find it run by Helen Kane and Elizabeth Glass. They said that they were coming to the celebration. There are Barry Gero, who owns a big trucking firm, and his ace driver, Maurice Jajer. Together they have established the safest driving records known. They are talking to Joan Jones and Slyvia Krasky, who are secretaries to the Presidnt of a shipping concern. Albert Stone has sold his ranch to Bernard Tanner so that he can try his luck in Mexico. Bernard will still keep his Wild West Show. That reminds me, cowboy idol, Franklyn Hawley, is appearing with his rodeo in Madison Square Garden this week. I wonder if he is here, he was invited. Helen Van Valkenburg, the popular and skilled engineer, who was once a member of our class, managed to get here tonight after attending the opening of the Nathan Hale Bridge which she built over the Potomac. It was a five year job, but it is a magnificent sight to behold. I think I’ll go down and congratulate her now. She's at the end of the hall conversing with Ted Hine, the architect who is planning a new wing for the White House. I've never seen such a wide variety of personalities as is gathered here this evening. Did you ever dream on that warm June night back in 1949 that we would all meet with so much success? We were so unsure of ourselves then. I think that if the class had known then what a wonderful future was in store for them they would have said: Take care of the present, the future will take care of itself. e . rent or Super(a lives (CONTINUED) BOY GIRL Most Likely to Succeed Most Popular With Girls Most Popular With Boys Most Optimistic Most Pessimistic Noisiest Quietest Most Studious Silliest Ladies' Man Class Flirt Class Baby Most Polite Class Voice Class Musician Class Colors Class Favorite Movie Class Favorite Songs David McGoldrick Anne Altermatt David McGoldrick Dorothy Reille David McGoldrick Dorothy Reille Richard Geissinger Anne Altermatt Irving Armstrong Pauline Randall Stuart Chase Vivian Malaspina John Berthelsen Gay Pomeroy John Berthelsen Elizabeth Burnham Barry Gero Warren Carlson Vivian Malaspina Robert Lynch Vivian Malaspina Irving Armstrong Carolyn Lindman John Lillis Elizabeth Burnham Richard Geissinger Janet Brudis Harvey Conn Blue and Gold Best Years of Our Lives Stephanie Smyrski My Darling, My Darling Twelfth Street Rag For the Senior Play, which was given December 3rd. and 4th., 1948, the class chose The Ghost Train by Arnold Ridley.

In March, Bob deZafra, Janet Richmond and Elaine Kieth were elected as co-editors for the 1950 Schaghticoke. May 13 is the date for our Prom, and plans for the orchestra, decorations, and election of the Prom Queen are being made. 36 Sophomore a ate The class of '51 chose the following as the officers for the years of 1948-49.

The class wishes to express their thanks to Mr. Went for his great help and interest throughout their Sophomore year. 37 To begin with, the Freshman Social was a great success, offering entertainment for everyone attending. Refreshments, dancing and entertainment were the main attractions. All the members of the Freshman class were pleased at the outcome of the intramural basketball season, of which we were victorious. The following class officers were elected: President, Bill Crowley; Vice-President: Ronald Johnson; Scretary: Bill Trycinski; Treasurer: Bukley Gibson. 3S Our adviser was Mr. Wiser.

Our big event of the year was The Welcome Hop given to the Freshmen by our organiza- tion. It was a big success — fun was had by all. Many things were discussed, voted upon, and carried out; some being the organizing of our traffic system, the Safety Campaign, and our campaign to make better citizens of New Milford High Students. 42 The students of New Milford High gather every other Tuesday under the direction of Doc Hunt to combine their talents and make up our Glee Club. These pupils have learned the appreciation of music and to love it. 43 2)mmafc The Dramatic Club has been very busy in '48 and '49, and has a comparatively large group of members. The club has purchased a tape recorder to record voices and to present radio skits. On December 22nd a group of members presented a Christmas play entitled Muggsy's Merry Christmas. We have yet to decide what will be enacted for our annual presentation. Again this year the club is ably advised by Mr. Kelly. President Vice-President Secretary-T reasurer Doris Hungerford Edward Ett Ronald Ladd The photography club, under the direction and guidance of Mr. Messer, has attended a series of lectures on picture taking and printing this year.

At the start of the season it looked as though New Milford High was on its way to annexing its third championship in five years, but that was not the case. In the seasons opener the Green Wave ran over Washington High by the score of 39 to 12. In the second contest, the local squad defeated the Sandy Hook Boys Club. New Milford then lost to Newtown high school in the final minute of play, but in the following week, Bethel went down at the hands of New Milford by the score of 18 to 12. In the Bethel game the squad was backed up by the students who went to the game by the Chartered Buses. Next year it is hoped that buses will be secured for all the football games that are played away. After the Bethel encounter Rgional defeated New Milford twice. New Milford was a far better running team than the upstate school, but Regional's passing attack had New Milford running in circles. The team then won the next two out of their three games by defeating Washington and Bethel, while losing the other contest to Newtown. Chark, Jones, Keeler and Cuddy did most of the back-field work, while Fetcho, Lynch, Adams and Wojciechow-ski did most of the line work. The Team was coached by Mr. Williamson and Mr. Wiser. so William Jones and James Wells are missing from picture Center Picture—Junior Varsity Although Coach Joseph Wiser's New Milford High School basketball team won but five contests while losing eight, the season was by no means a failure. And though a five and eight record is far from impressive, it must be remembered that this year’s team had but two seniors, with the rest of the squad still having a year or even two more years of high school basketball left. So, with a year of playing under the system employed by Coach Wiser, the team should be vastly improved for next season's competition. In the scoring department the honors went to George Lee, captain of the team, who scored 126 points, while Glenn Leahey and Hugh Nuremburg scored 91 and 86 respectively. The attendance at home games was greater than in previous years as both the student body and townspeople turned out in large numbers to witness the Green Wave in action. 51 FIRST ROW: Campbell, White, Nuremburg, Tierney, Hawley, Wojciechowski, Jones, McCarroll, Lynch, Chappius, Chark, Schnell. SECOND ROW: Went (coach), Ewing, VanValkenburg, Crowley, Fredlund, Dellea, Owens, Crawford, S. Wells, Armstrong, Altermatt, J. Wells, Brutz, Sega, D. Schnell, Woodin (manager). Although it is too early to tell the outcome of the 1949 Baseball season, the season looks good for us with McCarroll and Chark pitching. There are 25 boys out for baseball and combined with the coaching of Mr. Went the season should be exciting. We will play against the following teams. Litchfield, Washington, Bethel, Newtown, Abbot Tech., Woodbury, Morris. � 52 M. Cronin, S. Hueston, M. Purdy, S. Smyrski J. Meddaugh, E. Haenel, D. Reille (captain) a eerHectdi erS FIRST ROW: D.

We played ten league games, one practice game with Washington, and two alumnae games. Of these games we won the practice game, beat the alumnae in the second meeting with them, and won one league game, with Morris. We also tied one game with Bethel, which was a moral victory fo us, due to the fact that it was one of the few games we didn't lose. The high scorer this year was Joyce Simpson, with sixty-four points to her credit. Libby Glass and Gladys Rzchowski were next in line, Libby with 31 points and Gladys with 30. There was a large turnout for basketball this year, but due to a lack of uniforms only twenty-five could remain. In January the first team got much needed new uniforms. The second team got the old uniforms of the first team. Miss Pothier was again our coach, for the third year and she did a fine job. The track team is off to a good start this year with 13 boys on the squad. Our most important meets this year are at Storrs and Yale where we will compete against all other class C schools in the state. We are coached by Mr. Stevens, Mr. Buckman and Mr. Williamson and managed by Malcolm Carrier and Carl Trester. The boys on the team are: Burnett, Gero, Trester, LeGault, Keeler, Patterson, Floege, Baxter, Hapke, D. Adams, T. Adams, De-Zafra, and Kubacki. 54 There were about twenty-five girls out for soccer this year. This made it possible to have two complete teams, as there are eleven on each team. The first team was as follows: Forwards: S. Martin, N. Schimph, K. Wells, M. McCarroll, G. Beatty. Halfbacks: E. Glass, J. Richmond, S. King. Goalie: S. McHann. Six games were played this year, two each with Washington, Litchfield and Newtown. We were defeated in all of these games, but by the end of the season we had improved a great deal. This was proved by the fact that in our first game, which was with Newtown, the score was 14-0 in their favor, but by the end of the season when we played them again the score was only 2-0. We had a lot of fun playing and practicing, and we would like to extend our appreciation to Miss Matriciano for all the time and effort which she put into the job of being our coach. e —soccer The New Milford girls have always been quite successful at softball, and although we can't tell yet, we are very likely to continue being successful. There is a large turnout this year, which will give us a good choice of teams. New bats, balls, gloves and catchers' equipment have been purchased, and we have uniforms which were new last year. Miss Matriciano will again be our coach, and with co-operation with the players, good, hard practice, and good sportman-ship, the season is bound to be a success. S5 50 SALES SERVICE George A.
