Northrop. 3 bluett It y Last spring, the Yearbook Staff was elected with Janet Richmond, Elaine Keith, and Bob deZafra as co-editors. In the fall, we chose Miss Dolores Laurion as our Yearbook adviser, and also decided to continue a custom begun two years ago and call the yearbook Schaghticoke.” We want especially to thank Miss Laurion and Mr. Edward Polanski, our photographer-in-chief.

There were enough of us who knew our way around so that we could help those who had come in from the outside .towns. Though we were slow in electing our officers, who were Bill Jones, president; George Lee, veep; Sally Hueston, secretary; and Bill Cuddy, treasurer, with Miss Matriciano as adviser; we were not slow in getting acquainted, thanks to Jive Junction, a club exclusively for Freshmen. Many of us will not forget the nights spent in dancing and playing games together. We no sooner got under way with the school year, it seemed, when Miss Northrop got us going on the social. This was held in the spring and our theme was a carnival. Everyone in the class worked for hours on it and it proved to be a great success. Around the floor were different booths. One was a dart-throwing booth, another a bean-bag booth, and still another one had wooden cats to be knocked down by tennis balls. Occasionally during the evening a bell could be heard and this turned out to be the bell on top of the strong-man tester. The entertainment consisted of many things seen and heard at a carnival; even a snake charmer, alias Dick Cavonius, and a smart elephant with his expert trainer. We even had a Can-Can dancer who in reality was Hughie Nuremberg. Bob deZafra made a wonderful M. C. with a nose as red as Rudolph’s. As wearing a crazy hat was part of the admission price, we had all sorts of weird head dresses present and later in the evening had prizes awarded for the outstanding creations. When the time came for the participation in sports, the freshman class was there full force. This early start proved to be a very good thing in later years. Some of the freshmen really walked a good many miles their first year, for we won the magazine campaign—the first class to win two years in a row. We had a special movie as our reward. The event which is supposed to be the biggest in our underclassmen days proved to be a huge flop when we were freshmen. Many of us still remember going down to the stage seventh period on the day of our social to think up the entertainment. Everyone who went that night knew that we had done it that way, too. Our Sophomore year opened to find we were old hands at this school and we were glad to see our buddies' faces again. Although there were a few new faces, many of the old ones were gone and the 85 that were left really missed them. Again, as president we elected Bill Jones, but the other officers were new ones. They were Owen Peagler, as veep, Ellen Moore as secretary, and Eddie Ferriss as treasurer. We sure started the year out right this time for as our adviser we chose Miss Northrop. This year was a memorable one for we had to go to school on two Saturdays because of the heavy snow which everyone, even now, remembers. Again this year we were outstanding in all sports. At the end of the year we had a picnic at the lake, thanks to the hard work of Miss Northrop. In our Junior year there were again some changes in class officers. This year we elected Owen Peagler as president, Bill Jones as veep, Sally Hueston took the notes, and as treasurer, Bill Schnell. Needless to say. we again chose Miss Northrop as our able adviser. This year we had our social in the fall before Thanksgiving and used that as our theme. Few will forget our Indians and squaws and the hunter and Indian game warden. Even though Barnacle Bill, alias Pat Murphy, and his lovely girl friend, Hugh Nuremberg, didn't follow the theme, all of us got a big laugh watching Barnacle Bill coaxing his girl down the ladder. Again as in every year we were outstanding in all sports. But this year we had a monopoly in all of them. Also this year, we just made our quota for the magazine campaign. The reason we weren’t so good this year was that we had lost so many members of our class. We now had only 75 in it and we missed our friends a great deal. 2 The Prom which was held on May 13 turned out to be a huge success. The decorations were of unusual colors such as black, green, lavender, blue and all dark colors. The theme was superstitions, and black cats and silverware were arranged around the room. In the center of the floor was a ladder which was decorated with flowers. It was under this that the Prom Queen. Sally Hueston, was crowned by the president of the class. At the end of the year we again had a picnic at Lake Candlewood. It was the first time in the history of class picnics that a mummy arrived. This one came in the form of Janet Richmond, completely wrapped in towels in an effort to keep out of the sun . . . she'd already had enough! At last came our Senior Year. We—now dwindled down to 68—finally had our turn at being the Big Wheels. Several familiar faces had gone, but we were happy to have some new members and delighted when Howard Lane was able to come back after his long absence. Again, new arrangements were made in our class officers. Bill Jones, president of the Student Council, was made president; Owen Peagler, veep; Sally Hueston stayed on as secretary; and Jean Meddaugh took our money. Miss Northrop was voted unanimously as adviser. The annual Football Hop was a big success due to the fact that we had. that very afternoon, won the Championship of the Housatonic Valley League. Our big show in sports finally paid off. In the other sports the Class of 1950 dominated as usual. For the first time at this school the Seniors and Juniors had a combined social. This was due to the fact of mix-up in dates. Nevertheless, it was a real success. It brought out some talent the school never knew it had. Mr Buckham, for instance, is a marvelous piano player and you should hear Mr. Went sing. As usual Miss Northrop was there sweating the evening out. The other talents were spread evenly among the Seniors and Juniors. Everyone can still hear Harvey Goodman singing sweetly And her Brudda from the song I'll Never See Maggie Alone. Being Seniors we were naturally concerned about the Yearbook so we elected Janet Richmond. Elaine Keith and Bobby deZafra as co-editors and Miss Laurion as Yearbook Adviser. We all heaved a sigh of relief when, at last the final pages went to the printers late in March. Miss Laurion did a grand job and we surely appreciate her help and advice. One of the new teachers, Mr. Polanski, turned out to be an expert photographer and helped us no end by taking dozens of pictures for our Yearbook. Thanks to the Chamber of Commerce dances, the Class of 1950 was able to make a little extra money. We sold refreshments at those dances and we really did a good job. The next big thing on the agenda was the Senior Play. After a lot of reading we decided to give “George Washington Slept Here. Shortly after the cast of 17 had been picked we began practice under the direction of Mr. Graham. It could have been practice for the play or for football, which we don't know. But some new football players were discovered during those nights with even Mr. Graham taking part in some of the more spectacular plays. Members of the class put in hours of labor, with Mr. Went’s help, getting the proper setting—one which would appear old and worn in the first act and shining and modern a few minutes later in the next act. After two wonderful performances given December 2 and 3, Janet Richmond had a party for the cast in her basement which was enjoyed by all. The music provided by Andy Morren, Elaine Keith, and Neil Young will not be forgotten. Then came the arrangements for the Prom which was held on March 17, with Ray James and his orchestra. The decorations were in keeping with St. Patrick's Day. The next and last big thing we had to do was to plan Class Night and graduation. All too soon we realized that our high school days are now memories and not a reality. Before we go we would like to take this time to thank all the teachers who have, by their guidance and patience, helped to make this graduation possible. also to thank Mr. Knox and Mr. Williamson for all they have done for us. And now we would like to thank Miss Northrop for all she has done for the Class and for each of us separately Never have we seen a harder worker or a better friend. In the future, we know that Miss Northrop will be one of our best memories of high school. 25 W£ CMC That we. the Class of 1950 of New Milford High, Town of New Milford.

Our interview today is with Ronald Ladd, a promising young artist who is moving to success. Welcome to Station WACU, Ronnie.' Hi Jo. It is certainly a pleasure to be here today. Speaking of success, who do you think I met on the elevator, Joan Flynn, the noted script writer for M M Studios. She was on her way to visit Sally Martin, the 'oomph girl’ of America. You'd be interested to know that I received a phone call last night from Bill Cuddy, heavyweight champ, congratulating me on my latest performance in The Life of Willy.' Bill's planning a trip West, by way of the World Wide Volinski-Ferriss Airliner. I'll bet he’ll be surprised when he finds out that the charming stewardess is Patty Flaton. Yesterday between the scenes at the Studio, I was glancing through Time Magazine. They had a nice writeup about Pat, 'The Redhead' Murphy, the singer of tomorrow, and always. Say, didn't you just return from a trip East?” Yes, about a month ago, I was East in New York. I spoke with June Sandell and Jeanette Peet, two of the Rockettes at Radio City. I chatted so long, I was almost late for my next interview with Sid Wojciechowski, Radio Disc Jockey. As I went hurrying along the Avenue, I came face to face with Doris Caldwell, Dress Designer for Vogue Mazagine and her capable assistant Nancy Waller, who had flown in from Paris that morning with some new ideas on Spring Fashions. While talking with Sid, I learned of the Big Murder Case in Massachusetts which was solved by Sheriff Schnell, and two F B I. Agents, Dick Purdy and George Baxter. It seems that someone tried to poison Hughes Pfiefer, the wealthiest man in the world, but by mistake had taken the poison themselves. Sheriff Schnell was also aided by Mary Ann Lillis, Hughes’ Attorney at Law. who gave the men their real clue. Later I went to Madison Square Garden to see Nancy Schimpf, the cowgirl who was making her debut at the Rodeo. When shown to my seat I found I was next to Betty Gesell and Ellen Moore, interpreters for the U. N. We recalled many happy memories and then Betty informed me that Jan McQueen was playing with Philharmonic, and that Elaine Keith and her Hillbilly Band were touring the East. While we're on the subject of music, have you heard how Helen Weeks and Helen Burke are competing against each other on the sensational giggle record? No, I didn't hear about that.” But I've even more news, Jo. Last evening was spent at home watching television. The programs I enjoyed most were deZafra’s Scientific Experiences, followed by Harvey Goodman’s Talent Scouts with Bert Mezebish and his Orchestra. Guess who the new discoveries for the week were— Co-mmediennes Edith Chapin and Joyce Simpson. Last year, I vacationed in Maine and was awakened very early one morning by the crowing of a cock. I switched on the radio, and the only program I could get was Your Yankee Farmer. Neil Young. He spoke of Mr. Stuart Wells, prosperous chicken farmer in Connecticut and Andrew Morren’s success as a fur trapper in Africa. The program was 30 ronh rofj interrupted with an announcement by Cert Corna, Real Estate Dealer. I soon remembered that later that day I had a luncheon date with Jean Meddaugh at her estate in Honey You. Maine, so I had to turn off the radio and begin my busy day. Jean is very successful at landscaping and has now combined marriage with a career. While lunching with Jean, I learned that Sally Hueston is the proud owner of Hueston’s Florist Shop in good old New Milford. Patricia Mc-Hann is employed as interior decorator in the exclusive modern home display shop of R. A. Day. Sally wrote her that Dottie and Les Leviness are spending their second honeymoon in Hawaii. While breezing around town that afternoon, I ran into Don Woodin, Big Time Newspaper Reporter for the New York Times. He was hurrying to get the latest news on Rosalie Douskey's report on her Atomic Research Program. Rosalee has a new lab all her own and is producing baby atoms. “Wow, Jo, listening to you is even more exciting than making a movie. But while you were East, did you see anything of Bill Jones and Harold Johnson. They're in partnership and own the famous Latin Quarter. You couldn't have missed John Crawford, well known Soap Box Orator, and what's this I’ve been hearing about Dr. Betty Chark and her cure for heart disease? I suppose you know that Bob Casey the great Politician appeared on television for the first time yesterday. Yes, I saw him. I’ll bet that speech will go down in history. Did I tell you, I received a huge box of the most delicious candy I've ever tasted from the Bailey-Ellman Sweete Shoppe back in New Milford. Oh Ronnie, take a look at the cover of this Mademoiselle Magazine—Recognize the girls? I’ve seen them somewhere—why it’s Marie Thompson and Alice Lindberg. “Yes. they're beau- tiful Conover Models. Isn't that lovely? Anna Tuz has a column in this magazine also—called Tuzzy Buzzes. It contains the latest gossip of High Society. It says that Doris Hungerford has married the world’s Most Eligible Bachelor, and they are now cruising the Caribbean, and Marge Berggren, who is married to a millionaire was voted one of the ten best dressed women in America. Say, Bill Lillis sent me a trophy from Alaska. Bill’s a reindeer hunter there. You know George Lee has a huge ice cube factory near Frigcold, Alaska, the resort city of the North. It was Brune Ziolkowski, the weather expert, who first predicted that Frig-cold would have weather suitable for a resort, and right now Owen Peagler, Mayor of N. Y. City, and Secretary of Agriculture, Richard White, and Senator Eleanor Abel, are vacationing there. Eleanor Ferriss has fascinated the Eskimos with her yodel-ing in Louise Duda's Dude Restaurant. Have you planned to see the most important baseball game of the season between the Northwest Mounties and the Huners? You know your friends, Hugh Nuremburg and Corden Chappius are playing on the former team. Their manager, Julian Wojcie-chowski, is confident of a win. Yes, Julian sent me a couple of complimentary tickets last week. Well, the hands on the clock say it’s 3:30 and that means to leave. Before I go, I’d like to thank Ronald for appearing as my guest today, and remember to listen in next week when my guest will be Janet Richmond, instigator of the drive to sell “Itchie,” the great dog flea powder. (She has proved you can sell anything if you try). I’ll now turn the mike over to your announcer, Tony Alessio. Till next week then, this is your Hollywood Reporter, Josephine Pruchnik, signing off. 31 KING—Bill Jones QUEEN—Sally Martin 32 ? . Senior George Washington Slept Here, a comedy in three acts by Moss Hart and George S Kaufman was presented by the Senior Class on December 2 and 3, 1949. The successful performance was the result of hard work by every member of the cast. Ronald Ladd as Mr. Fuller and Janet Richmond as his wife did outstanding work. Neil Young's interpretation of the old farmer was hilarious. William Schnell as the rascal Raymond, and Edith Chapin as the maid, Hester, delighted the audience with their comical performances. Robert de Zafra's interpretation of the rich uncle was outstanding. Doris Hungerford as Madge Fuller, Stuart Wells as Steve, Sally Martin as Katie, Rousalie Dous-key as Rena Leslie, Andy Morren as Clayton Evans, Burton Mezebish as Mr. Prescott, Ellen Moore as Mrs. Douglas, and Josephine Pruchnik, Alice Lindbergh, Richard Purdy, and Sidney Wojciechowski, as the weekend guests did very commendable work. 33 W.

As the year progressed, Ruth Day and Pat Hulton were selected to represent our class in the Student Council. The Junior Class was very proud when they learned that Eleanor Smith was chosen to act as the assistant manager of the Magazine Campaign. During this campaign, the Juniors put up a good fight and managed to come out in second place. The problem of class rings was solved by electing Eleanor Smith and John Ploski to handle the job. For the first time, on November 10, New Milford High saw the Junior and Senior classes combine to present a social which proved to be a great success. April 28 is the date for our Prom, and the plans for the orchestra, decorations, and the election of the Prom Queen are being made.

With the help of our adviser, Mr Wiser, we decorated the gym with old magazine covers which turned out to be very attractive. The jamboree was a huge success and a moral victory for the Sophomores. We are very proud of our many athletes who represent us on every team in both boys' and girls' sports. The date of our social has been set for March 3.

New Milford High School's Varsity football squad came back to score 34 points in the final two quarters against Housatonic Valley Regional to chalk up a 34 to 18 victory over the Falls Village squad in the season's thriller. One week later, the Creenwave clinched the Housatonic Valley League title for the third time in six years. Coached by Richard Williamson and Joseph Wiser, the squad opened the season with a well-earned victory over Newtown in an arc-light contest at Taylor Field. Newtown. New Milford then routed Washington 48 to 0. only to lose out to Bethel 1 3 to 12. However, from then on in. the Creenwave never again met defeat, for the local squad went on to conquer Regional, Washington, Bethel, and Newtown to complete the season with a record of 7 wins against but one loss. In the scoring department, Bill Cuddy and Teddy Burdick claimed the honors. Others who stood out were Co-captain Bill Jones, Owen Peagler, Julian Wojciechowski, Calvin Strong, Mike Burdick, Bill Arnold, Ed Keeler, George Patterson and Ed Easton. The squad lost the services of Hugh Nuremburg and Jimmy White when both players received injuries in the Washington game, which sidelined them for the remainder of the season. Pressed throughout the season by Regional and Bethel only fine coaching and all round team spirit brought the title to one of the finest football teams New Milford has ever turned out. 50 d3ashel La K Completing the regular season with a record of 6 wins and 6 losses, New Milford High School's Varsity basketball squad went on to the state tournament only to be eliminated in the very first round by Morgan High of Clinton, The season's record shows that Coach Joseph Wiser's hoopsters bettered their 1948-49 season's record by about two games. A small margin, but nevertheless an improvement. During the season the East Street School posted two victories each over Newtown and Morris, split with Litchfield and Woodbury, and dropped both contests to Abbot Tech, and Bethel. For the season, George Lee led the scorers with 178 points with Hugh Nuremburg second. collecting 146. John Ploski finished third in line with 108 points to complete the charmed 100 or more circle. The other remaining members of the Varsity were Harold Johnson, Owen Peagler. Bill Crowley. James Ewing. William Jones. Edwin Keeler, Julian Wojciechowski, and Stuart Wells. The school's Junior Varsity with a record of 7 wins against but 3 losses won 7 of its last 8 contests. 51 Under the three-year guidance of Coach Walter Went. New Milford High School's Varsity baseball squad has compiled a record of 20 wins against but 9 losses A record which includes a Southern Division Championship as well as forcing Bethel into a playoff for the Southern Division title last season How well the 1950 nine does is anybody's guess. In the infield. Hugh Nuremburg and Cordon Chappius are slated to return, while Julian Wojciechowski and Bill Jones will again patrol two of the outer-guard positions However, a change of plans could find Jones and Wojciechowski moving into the infield. On the pitching mound Jackie McCarroll. Andy Chark and Herb White are gone. Only Bill Crowley, who saw limited action last season, returns to help with the mound chores. So the biggest headache Coach Walter Went has is the pitching staff of this year’s team. 32 Paced by high-scoring forward Joyce Simpson, New Milford High School's Girls' Varsity Basketball squad astounded local rooters by completing the season with a record of seven wins against but three setbacks. Not a bad record for any squad. Looking over the record, one will find that the Gallo-coached squad registered two victories each over Woodbury and Morris, and managed to clip Litchfield, Washington, and the Alumni each once. In the loss column, the Green and White met defeat at the hands of Thomaston once, and twice at the hands of powerful Hawley High of Newtown. So that's their story! How well the 1950-51 squad will do without the services of Joyce Simpson, Betty Chark, Rosalie Douskey, Sally Martin, Gert Coma, and Janet Richmond is anyone's guess. S3 Led- by Ed Keeler and Owen Peagler. New Milford High School's track squad should be able to give any Housatcmc Valley rival a run for its money. Coached by Richard Williamson, who also is Chairman of the Connecticut Intcrscholastic Athletic Conference, the Green and White started off the season on March 25 at Yale University in the Connecticut Indoor Meet. The cne big dark spot in track here at Mew Milford High is the competition from the school’s baseball nine. With each team looking for the best material, it is not impossible that a so-so baseball benchwarmer might be just the spark the cinder men need. occer For th2 New Milford H‘gh School Girl’s Varsity soccer team the 1949 season was about as dismal as their picture looks. Scoring goals on occasions the locals failed to win a single gam? However. New Milford did manage to tie Litchf.e'd High here in New Milford and celebrations were in order. Truly, the 1949 soccer team was the black sheep ot an otherwise profitable season in sports. Coached by Miss Dolores Laurion the squad hopes for a better season next fall. 54 Trying to combine the voices of a group of mad-happy Football or Basketball fans into one cheer is a difficult job To make sure the spectators follow the Housatonic Valley Schoolmen’s League Code is even harder. But, that’s a cheerleader’s job and no group in the state did a finer job than the vocal-happy girls of New MUford High. Cheerleaders graduating this year are Sally Hueston (Captain) and Jean Meddaugh, but the rest will be right here with us next year. Wind:ng up th- regular 1949 season with a tie with Hawley Hieh for first place. New Milford High School s Varsity girls’ softball squad blew a one run lead in the final inning cf the playoff game to end the season in second place. . ., With a good percentage of the girls having played sott- ball during the «ummer months, this year’s team should be one of the top clubs in the league. With their spirit and hustle no one can keep them from the top! This eacon the coaching duties are being taken over by Miss Marian Geigner. 55 56 CLEMENT H.
