Although this book may be forgotten, the spirit of dedication, deep within our hearts, will always remain with us. 2 Jrophy C c aAe The Trophy Case is now becoming a reality. This idea was originated by the Student Council. Lack of sufficient funds caused a delay in its construction.

It is expectedthat the trophy case will be completed during the Christmas vacation. Some of the boys who worked to complete this project were, left to right: Jim White, Bob Campbell, Mr. Went, advisor, Michael Burdick, George Patterson, and Howard Altermatt. 3 FACULTY JLaS a d jIL.

WALTER E. WENT Class Advisor Because of his sincere interest in students as people, we have always considered him a true friend. There was never a problem too great to receive his helpful attention and untiring efforts in our behalf. His contributions to the class were many and varied. We shall always regard him with esteem and warmest affection. 25 It hardly seems possible that graduation will soon be something behind us. “Pomp and Circumstance sounds terrifying at this point, and although we are overwhelmed at the prospect of graduation, we’re just a little frightened too. This feeling is different from the scared feeling we experienced on September 3, 1947, when we first entered New Milford High School as Freshmen. After a few weeks during which we practically made games out of finding the right rooms and of going around the right cops in the halls, we held our first class meeting. How well we remember that first class meeting--when the boys took over the class. Since there was dissension in the ranks of the girls, the boys managed to hold all of the offices. Mike Burdick ran the show, Jim Wells helped him, Ed Keeler was Secretary, and Jim White, Treasurer. Mr. Malonis took the task of advising our class and rumor has it that we wore him out, for he left N.M.H.S. at the end of that year. In April we, the little shots of the school, did our small part to put on a social for the Senior High. An almost unheard of thing occurred at this social -—we, the Freshmen, made money! Coming back to school in September 1948 as Sophomores, we felt much more at ease and quite tempted to look down on the young Freshmen. At our first class meeting we elected the same people, but we shifted some of them around. Jim White became President, Mike Burdick became Veep, Ed Keeler remained as Secretary, and Jim Wells became Treasurer. When Jim left in January, Nancy Lathrope took over the job of collecting money. We elected Mr. Went as class advisor, a job which he has retained for three years. By the time we came back in September 1949, we really felt as if we knew our way around. Upper classmen—wow!!! 28 Class elections went off smoothly this year , with only one change in officer s. Pat King took over as Secretary, Jim White remained President, Mike as Veep, and Nancy, Treasurer. With Mr. Went pushing us, we came in second in the Magazine Campaign, which meant a much needed addition to our treasury. This year we joined with the Seniors to try something new—a Junior-Senior social. It was a huge success. During the Spring our only topic of conversation was our prom, which was held May 5. We all worked hard on it for weeks beforehand and felt quite proud when we finished the decorating. The Yale-Collegiate Orchestra played for us and the climax of the evening was the crowning of our class Queen, Ruth Day. The only drawback was the fact that financially it was not a success. September 6, 1950, meant the beginning of the last 180 days. It seemed impossible that only three years before we had entered those doors so timidly. Our first class meeting was quite a shock to everyone -- we ACTED like Seniors! When we held elections Pat remained as Secretary and Nancy as Treasurer. John Ploski took over the Presidency, and Jim Wells became Vice-President. To justify Mr. Went’s faith in us, we walked away with top honors in the Magazine Campaign-which meant a sizable addition to our treasury. Hardly had that ended when we were up to our ears in the Senior Play-Through the efforts of all, including many outside the class, “Dear Ruth was very successful. As this goes to press, we are looking forward to our Senior Dance, May 4, Class Night, June 15, and Graduation, June 17. Through the combined efforts of all the Seniors these events will be assured successes. When we depart from N.M.H.S. we will leave behind the Trophy Case—our Senior project. We hope that the classes that follow will take good care of this Trophy Case, for attached to it will be many pleasant memories. Thinking of all these things eases the pain of graduation and takes some of the frightening air from it. “Pomp and Circumstance , here we come! 29 Will nb We fit a ment ' We, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-One, being of as sound a mind as vve ever are and will be, do make, publish, and declare this to be our Last Will and Testament.

We, The Class of 1951, leave the Trophy Case to Posterity. We, the Class of 1951, leave Mr. Went in peace at last. iYoa. r ' f ort s SCENE--the inner chambers of Mary Lou Moore’s subconscious mind, where she is the sole audience in a preview of the future, TIME—1951, the day before the Senior class prophecy is due. In front of a ritzy hotel owned by Paul Schiller, Mary Lou sees Nancy Wells, a noted sports reporter, hail a cab, hop in, and speed away. Ed Easton, her driver, rushes her to an airport where she joins a crowd of excited spectators waiting for Mike Burdick, the Jet speed king, to take off. Mike’s engineers, Pat Hulton and Bob Carlson, pull some levers and—swish--Mike shoots out into the stratosphere. As the picture unfolds, Mary Lou sees a number of specks whizzing around a runway. When the picture clears, she discovers Anna Strelez and Kenny Grant, the daring race team, come in to make the Indianapolis Speed Cup theirs for keeps. With a flash the scene changes to a quiet room in New York City where John Ploskiand Jim Wells sit pondering over some books. Whoops, did we say quiet? Right now there’s an uproar, for Phil Ring just came in. It seems he just lost a lot of money in the Wells-Ploski Slot Machine Co. Phil is saying_but the picture fades. Next she sees Phil downtown, followed by a mob of screaming girls. (Phil is President of America’s Most Eligible Bachelor’s Club). He is happier when he reaches Wall St., where he goes to see his broker, Bill Arnold, in order to change his investment from the Slot Machine Co. to a more dependable stock. Pat King, Bill’s private secretary, suggested stockin NMHS Greenand White Pencil Co. Everything goes black again, but with the crackof a bat the Yankee Stadium appears, where Doris Logan and Irene Steck are bat girl and inspiration girl for the Yankees. With two men on base, Shirley McHan, Joe Dimaggio’s replacement, makes a sensational catch to end the game, making her not only the first girl in big league baseball, but also heroine of the day. Later in Yankee Stadium, John Roger and Ken Tobin have a wrestling match. Carl Trester watches proudly, because these two superhumans took his Mighty Muscle Building Course. After the fight, John and his manager head toward Hildenbrand’s Boiler for a turkish steam bath. Again, amidst a noisy crowd, Jean Blantinappears, crowned “Rodeo Queen of Texas. Now Jim Buchanan is out on a bucking bronco. He stays on eleven rounds, enough to make him winner of the contest. But--he doesn’t get up. The crowd is going wild! Here comes the ambulance and he is taken to the hospital, where Beverly Hamilton, head doctor , takes him to a private ward and diagnoses the case. She finds nothing serious but advises him to be satisfied with receiving the winner's cup in bed. This sub-conscious activity seems to be too much for Mary Lou. She fumbles for the light, rubs her head and takes a couple of aspirins. Still a bit leary about going to sleep, she listens to the radio until slumber comes. In her dreams she hears Lois Robinson, popular night club singer, singing “Boop - de - doo. Next she is entertained by Sylvia Ladd and Ed Keeler, starring in the opening of a promising broadway show. Back stage Dot Smith, the make-up artist, is touching up the cast. Phyllis Schutte, a wealthy divorcee, is dazzling the audience with her latest husband. Yvonne Gero, the celebrated critic, is being escorted to her seatby the handsome mountain climber and “cave”man Bob Rielle. There’s a roll of royal drums and the forecast for the future continues with King John of England coming into a beautifully decorated room in his palace. Here Alberta Villane, a celebrated interior decorator, is fussing over a last bit of drapery. Nancy Couch, her business manager, is receiving the paycheck. 34 The scene shifts to Warren where Nancy Lathrope appears on her dogsled, coming in from the hills. As she nears the road she almost collides with a big red truck which says, “Patterson’s Garbage Disposal and in neat shiny letters the motto reads, “We dump it in the Housatonic. A J O Construction Co., truck approaches, belonging to Wesley Johnson and Richard Owen. They have the contract for the new high school. The plans were drawn by the well-known architect, Charles Hungerford, Priscilla Page is on the slate as Home Ec. teacher and Bill Lillis as professor of aeronautics. Then Mary Lou sees Melody Warner ringing door bells, up to her old tricks again. This time she is waiting and Eleanor Smith comes to the door with her little tribe. “ These aren'tall yours, are they? “Oh no, 1 run a nursery. What have you been doing?” “I’m traveling sales girl of Wents All Day Cigar Co. Have a cigar on me. Soon Mary Lou finds herself trembling in the dentist’s chair as Dr. Mary McCarroll, singing cheerfully, plunges in with the pliers and yanks out a nice healthy tooth.“Too Bad!” Wrong tooth! Just one more. This must be it, it’s the only one left. Stumbling out of the dentist’s office, Mary Lou got a great boost by seeing the sign to “Purdy’s Modern Mortuary” next door, owned by John Purdy. Going from one morbid thought to another Mary Lou went from a mortuary to an ancient museum where skeletons hung by the hundreds. The owners, Robert Vosburg and Henry Wolinski, don’t seem to be bothered by the dreary sights as they gaze in amazement at the bones of a dinosaur which Georgia Beatty the distinguished archeologist, found in the outskirts of New Milford. Mary Lou meets Mr. Hague who tells her that Bob Campbell was an admiral in the Navy, but this was short lived. He is being relieved of his duties, because he socked Seaman Henry Garvy. Jim White owns a modeling agency and a thriving one at that. Two of his models are Frances Tenza, famous Blondex Queen and Joan Morris. Mary Lou then sees Ruth Day, a TWA hostess, on her way back to New York, meeting an old classmate who is fleeing from Europe. He sent this telegram to Bob Hungerford who manages the main branch of his farm: “Coming home. Stop. Too many dames. Stop.” Signed Lowell Davenport. Ruth is telling Lowell about her short stay in a little French village, where she ran into Anna Bado, a fortune teller, witha souvenir shop. She told him he would see Frances Hapke traveling around on a flying saucer--there’s nothing Hapke wouldn’t try once. Joan Carrier got aboard the plane in England. She is the U. S. ambassador to Denmark. But she is returning to attend a U.N. meeting where Sally Borgstrom, the U.S. delegate, is giving a speech, “The U.S. Policy Toward Mars. Arlene Gustafson is the interpreter for the delegates from Mars. The meeting is being adjourned, so Joan, Sally, and Arlene get together to talk over old times in the Adams-Lucas drugstore. Heretheyfind Pat Adams and Marge Lucas, busy at work. They find a book written by Kay Newtown, published by Mike Standard of the Standard Publishing Co. George Smith, Internal Revenue Examiner, comes in. He has the books of the “Automotive Used Car Lot” owned by Charles Brutz and Howie Altermatt. Back in the U. N. after the recess is over, Mary Lou hears Joe Dellea report. He is the brain in the Einstein Corporation which is doing scientific research in the field of communication and transportation, between Roth's Haven and the U.S. Roth’s Haven is a planet recently discovered by Charles Roth who is now leaving for Hawaii. There he hopes to find inhabitants for his planet by crossing animal breeds. Mary Lou sees him as he arrives in beautiful Hawaii, welcomed by graceful Hula dancers. There’s Minnie Cronin--Minnie, a Hula dancer ! Mary Lou felt like she had been in the Tropics for Minnie had made her hot all over with the dance. She awoke with a start to hear the announcer on the radio saying: “If you have nightmares, use Dr. Mallow’s Sweet Dreams Lotion. Mary Lou’s only comment is censored. She got up to finish the class prophecy in hopes of better dreams to come. 35 BACK ROW: CharlesRoth, Albert Kummer; Michael Standard, Lt. WilUamSeawright; MissGeigner, Advisor, Kenneth Grant, Sgt.

After six long weeks of rehearsal and hard labor, the play proved to be a big success. George Patter son as Judge Wilkins and Beverly Hamilton as Mrs. Wilkins did a superb job. Sylvia Ladd as Ruth Wilkins did very commendable work, while Lois Robinson as Miriam Wilkins delighted the audience with the pleasing portrayal of the “brat”.

Judy Green; Reporter, Edna Tiemann; Advisor, Marian Geigner. Qux ptafJL After opening the 1950 schedule with a 52-14 trouncing at the hands of Housatonic Regional, the local squad limited Bethel High to a 7-0 decision. In a return engagement Regional squeaked by the East Street school by four points. By that time the local squad, after being defeated three times, was hungry for a victory. They defeated Washington High in a well earned victory by a score of 52-0. With 350 cheering New Milfordites following the Green Wave to Newtown, the local squad won an arc light contest by a score of 39-0. In the scoring department, Bill Arnold and John Krebs claimed the honors. Others who were outstanding were Quarterback Julius Davins, Jimmy White, George Patterson, Calvin Strong, Michael Burdick, Jimmy Ewing, Francis Hapke, and Joe Dellea. Coach Joe Wiser and assistant Gene Farrell did a fine job in bringing their squad to third place in the league standings. All around team spirit and co-operation made the 1950-51 squad a team that New Milford should be proud of. 56 (Soys? (f cidhetLciK Although weakened bytheloss of high scorers George Lee and Hugh Nuremburg through graduation, the East Street School has a good chance of bettering last season’s record of six wins and six setbacks. The team will usher in the 1950-51 season December first when the local cagers meet Washington. Coach Joe Wiser’screw is predominantly a junior-sophmore squad this year. Coach Wiser has a scheduled eighteen games for this year’s squad. Big factors in this year’s drive to better last season's record s e John Ploski, Bill Crowley, James Ewing, new comer Richard Glasgow, and Jimmy Wells. The team has been outfitted with brand new green and white uniforms and they look mighty sharp out on the basketball court. How well the 1950-51 squad will do is anyone's guess. 57 Even though it is too early to tell the outcome of the 1951 baseball season, it should be a very successful one. There are a large number of boys trying to make the team, and under the guidance of Mr. Went, the season should be exciting. Now Milford will play against the following teams: Litchfield, Washington, Bethel, Newtown, Abbott Tech, Woodbury and Morris. Almost all the regulars have graduated so Mr. Went will have to field a whole new team this year. Some of the veterans returning are Hank Fredlund Bob Campbell, Joe Dellea, and Charlie Brutz. Bill Crowley is expected to carry the burden of the mound chores. So all we can say is that we wish the boys and Mr. Went the “best of luck for the coming season. New Milford girls have always been very successful at softball, and hopes are in store this year that they will have another one of these seasons. There are a large number of girls out, and with many of the veterans returning, the team should be tops. Shirley McHann, Pat King, Ruth Day, Georgia Beatty, Mary McCarroll, Minnie Cronin, Arlene Gustafson are just a few of those returning this year. The coaching duties have been taken over by Geoffrey Graham, With cooperation from the players, hard practice, and good sportsmanship, the 1951 girls’ softball team should win, if not all, a good percentage of their games. “Good luck, girls and Coach Graham for a good season. QJs BaU Although weakened by the loss of high-scoring forward Joyce Simpson, the girls' varsity has a good chance of bettering last season’s record of seven wins against but three losses. The girls' varsity plays the Bethel varsity in their first game of the season. This year Coach Gallo’s squad is predominantly a Junior-Senior squad. The girls expected to play a big part in this year’s drive to better last year's record are: Pat King, Ruth Day, Nancy Wells, Georgia Beatty, Irene Steck, Lavonne Crawford, and Audrey Vosburgh. All around fine coaching and team spirit should make the 1950-51 squad a team to be proud of. Good luck, girls, in making this one of the most successful years a New Milford High School’s Girls’ Varsity team has ever had. 60 Soccer This year there was a large turn out for soccer, making it possible to have two teams with eleven members on each team. The first team was as follows: Forwards: Georgia Beatty, Yvonne Gero, Lavonne Crawford, Jean Blair, and Lois Arnold. Halfbacks: Melody Warner, Nancy Wells, and Sally Arnold. Fullbacks: Bobby Schimph, and Pat King. Goalie: Shirley McHan. Six games were played this year, two each with Washington, Litchfield, and Newtown. We managed to win two games, but put up a good hard struggle in the remaining four. How well the 1951-52 squad will do without the services of Georgia Beatty, Yvonne Gero, Melody Warner, Nancy Wells, Pat King, and Shirley McHan is anyone’s guess. We had a lot of fun playing and practicing, and we would like to extend our appreciation to Miss Rakowski for all the time and effort which she put into the job of being our coach. Without her help, our season would have been very unsuccessful. 61 With George Patterson being elected as captain of the track team and seven or eight returning veterans, the New Milford squad should give any rival a run for its money. The first meet is March 24th at Yale University in the Connecticut Indoor Meet. The weak spot is in the running events but after a little practice this should be improved. The members of the squad are George Patterson, James Ewing, John Ploski, David Williams, Calvin Strong, Fritz Kubacky. The boys are coached by James Lynch and Richard Williamson. With any luck at all the season should be both interesting and successful for both the boys and the coaches. 62 This year a new sport was added to the schedule at New Milford High School. A tennis team was formed and coached by Mr. Buckman and Mr. Knox. A meet was held in Bethel but even though the team didn’t win they gained some good experience in playing tennis. A tournament was held between the members of the team and the winner was Barbara Knox. Some of the other members of the team were Jane Wells, Alice Kramer, Phyllis Knox, and Rachelle Dube (manager). Jane Quealy, Betty Lou Emmons, Edwina Hendricks, Maxine Anderson, Jane Wells, Lois Robinson, and Captain Minnie Cronin did a swell job this year in leading the voices of New Milford High School with their fine cheers. They really stand in back of all the teams and cheer them on. Minnie Cronin and Lois Robinson are the only cheerleaders leaving the school this year. They are leaving some swell kids behind and they will undoubtedly do a swell job in Minnie's and Lois’ absence. 63 ads JACKSON S SONS. INC. Lumber and Building Materials New Milford, Conn. Clement H.
