It took two weeks before order was restored in the halls as we were not familiar with the cop system. It took about a month before we were settled down and then we dediced to have a class meeting. Dewey Rosato was elected President and Bill Crowley Vice-President. The Secretary was Bill Trycinski and Treasurer, Bulkley Gibson. Dewey left in January and Bill moved into the Presidency and Ronald Johnson was elected Vice-President. Mr. vViser, the new coach, was chosen as Class Advisor. During the winter, Miss Matriciano's room annexed the Intramural Basketball Championship and we were very proud Freshmen. In March, we held our Freshmen Social, which we will all remember to be a wondrous occasion. It will be hard to forget Frankie Brandt as Romeo and Ronnie Johnson as Juliet. In the eyes of the Freshmen, our Cinderella dance was by far the greatest of all the socials. September started our second year and we had our chance to look down upon the Frosh. This year. Bill Crowley stayed as President, Jimmy Ewing became Vice-President, Bulkley Gibson stayed as Treasurer, and Alice Kramer became Secretary. Mr. Wiser was chosen as advisor again. October 28, we had the penalty of being hosts of the Magazine Campaign Jamboree. That day was Teacher's Convention and it was spent decorating the auditorium with magazine covers, an idea which turned out to be very highly praised. On March 3rd, we became radicals and had as our Social theme a carnival which was very well-liked by all who attended. The next September, at last, we were among upperclassmen and we immediately elected class officers. Jimmy Ewing moved up to the Presidency, Bob McWaid was elected Vice-President, Alice Kramer stayed on as Secretary, and Larry Ellman became Treasurer. Mr. Wiser again was elected as advisor. The Ring Committee got right to work and the rings were acquired by the first of the year. In April we held our first formal. The marine-land setting was very effective, especially Jimmy's painting with the live goldfish in the middle of it. Laura Tiemann was crowned Prom Queen and we were all very proud of her. In May, the Play Committee started to pick a play and we had already begun work for our last year in high school. The fourth day of school in September, we elected class officers. Peter Messer became President; Kenneth Conn, Vice-President; Alice Kramer stayed as Secretary, and Bulkley Gibson became Treausrer. Lavender and Old Lace was chosen as our Senior Play, which was presented on December 1. The Yearbook began to be pieced together with Bill Crowley as Editor-in-Chief, Alice Kramer and Gordon Dike as Assistant Editors, and Bulkley Gibson as Photography Chairman. With all the things that have to be done everyone is assured of something to do. With the Senior Prom in April and finally Class night and Graduation in June, we realize that the end is soon to come. How quickly these four years have passed on! The End Conpliments of COUCH BROS. -Sales and Service 28 Dear Mr. Wiser We are very sorry that you were unable to attend our class reunion. I am sure you would have been very pleased to see how the class turned out. As you know, the reunion was held at the mansion of that well-known society matron, Norma Leech. We really had a distinguished gathering. I am sure you will be pleased to know that at least one of our classmates has followed in your footsteps. You remember Lavonne Crawford? vVell, she was at the reunion and she told us that she was teaching physical education at Cornell University. The All-American football player, Cal Strong was there attended by his physcian, Dr. Richard Glasgow. It seems that Strong had obtained a few injuries while playing in the Rose-Bowl game. The opening address was given by Alice Kramer, a prominent educator, and her topic was Modern Education For Today's Children. The speech was an interesting one and was enjoyed by all. We were all very surprised when Peter Messer, world Boy-Scout leader, interrupted one of his world tours just to be with us. Pete showed some Futurama moving pictures taken on his last tour. Margie Graff was there and she sketched portraits of many of the guests. You may have seen some of her work in the New York Times, which is now being published by Richard Carroll. You remember him, as the editor of our high-school paper during his senior year. Eddie Berry, who owns a chain of garages through-out New England, was there along with his partners Steve Alessio and Aronld Rink. Ed told us that they were now working on a new type of rocket-car especially being built for the use of state senator Bill Trycinski. At the reunion Dolores Easton was awarded the Oscar for the outstanding performance in her latest film. Incidently, the wonderful photography of the picture was done by Bulkley Gibson, another classmate of ours. Honest John Veltri, manufacturer of non-disintegrating auto parts, a arrived a few minutes late, making a grand entrance in his new, jet-propelled Buick. Also with John came Bill Peyron, that confirmed bachelor, and his wife and ten children. Also, I'm sure you couldn't possibly have forgotten Ted Adams, who is now a famed radio and television artist. Being a jokster and Comedian, he went around giving everyone the hot-foot, which really kept things jumping. While at the reunion, Maxine Anderson, who is dancing her way to stardom, received a telegram delivered in person by Alan Marsh, president of the Trans-Continental Telegraph Co. It stated that she had Compliments of SIMPSON'S STUDIO CAMERA SHOP 29 won a prize on the Ronald Johnson Talent Show. Then we had a bit of entertainment which was really grand. Master of Ceremonies Ed Cushman, this year's King Of The Hobos, started it off by calling of Harriet Wojciehowski, that famed yodler, who gave us her version of the Rusty Robot Blues. Then we all became serious when that great Broadway actor Bob McWaid gave us a well rendered reading from one of those great tragedies written by Jill English. I do believe Bob and Jill did some acting in our high-school Senior play. Next came Frankie Brandt who had us all practically falling out of our chairs with his impersonations of a few of our old Faculty members. If you could have seen him, Mr. Wiser, you would have died laughing. Also on the program was Barbara Knox, who brought some of her dramatic pupils with her, and these pupils put on a delightful skit which we all enjoyed. I heard Barb telling some of the guests that she was planning to take her students on a European trip next month. Perhaps, Mr. Wiser, you will recall that once-famous person Will Rogers. Well, we feel that our own Paul Lindberg has surpassed him with his orignial short stories and jokes. Throught this gay affair there was that super-duper salesman, Bill Crowley, wandering around selling some new kind of plastic chewing gum. When asked where he had obtained it, Bill replied that it was one of the products from the Mary Nicholson Candy Co. Miss Nicholson guarantees her gum to stretch further, taste better, and bounce higher that any other kind of gum. Say, Mr. Wiser, you remember Stan Percy and how he used to tell us he was going to end up in some kind of crooked business? Well, believe me, he has. He was at the reunion selling pretzels from his very own pretzel-bending factory. After a while, those of us who wanted to, piled into our cars and took a ride out to Pat Beattie's specially built baseball diamond. As everyone knows, she is the new manager of the Red-Sox. We stayed a while and watched her team practice and among the players were Hank Fredlund, playing first base and Jack Krebs playing short-stop. While we were driving back, someone mentioned that Sally Arnold had recently opened her exclusive new Night-Club, so we dropped in to see how it was. Sally was surprised to see us and we stayed a while to chat about old times. While there she served us a new kind of beverage. She said it was a special kind of chocolate drink obtained from white cows at Kenny Conn's dairy, and it was a delicious drink. On our way back Larry Ellman, that famous astronomer, invited us up to his planetarium where we viewed the universe through a gigantic telescope. And also on display Mr. Ellman had his most prized possession, a piece of green cheese taken from the moon, and brought back from there by that noted space explorer, Gordon Dike. By this time it was getting late so we decided it would be best to find a hotel and retire for the night. We made a quick trip across town to Audrey Vosberg's Holiday Inn , where we spent a comfortable night. At the hotel we saw Hal Lilien giving all the girls a life in his special new elevator chair-lift. Hal told us that he was general manager of The League Of Aged Elevator Boys . Bright and early the next morning, while on our way to Larry Emmons ranch for a brisk early morning horse back ride we passed the Municipal . H. HIPP Ice Cream 30 Compliments of C Airport which is now owned and operated by Robert Grey. We decided to stop in and look around, and as we walked through the gate, we met George Beatty, who told us he was piloting the new Strato-Cruiser on a trip to South America. While we were looking at his ship, we saw many of the passengers going aboard and were happy to note that we knew some of them. Among those taking the trip were Barbara Barnes, professional Girl Scout Leader; Norma Bray, child specialist; Eugene Skoog, costume designer, and his model, Helen Jones. Also taking the trip was Doris Waldron, commander-in-chief of the U. S. Army, Laura Tiemann, Veterinarian who was on her way to investigate the raging cattle disease in South America, and her assistant, nurse Barbara Hapke, At the entrance to the plane stook Jean Wright, the Air-Line hostess, checking the passenger list as they went aboard. Arriving at the last minute came Tillie Morasco, trick Motorcycle Artist, on her new, self-designed motorcycle, which was specially built by Fritz Kubacky Motors Co. When everyone was safely aboard, the go-ahead signal was given by David Williams, ChiefControl Tower ex-cutive. We waved goodby to our friends and climbed back into our cars. As we were leaving the air-port, we noticed an enormous billboard exploiting the benefits of Don Shnell's Super-Sweet Smelling Shampoo Solution. It seems he had invented this solution for his prize winning herd of cows during his presidency of the F. F. A. When we finally arrived at the ranch we were very pleased when Joe Buczek greeted us astride Pabst , his blue-ribbon horse. After having an enjoyable ride we again set out, this time for home. On our way back we stopped at Jane Wells' Day Nursery where we met Jean Blair, the minister's wife, calling for her twins. It seems that these classmates had been unable to attend the reunion because they had no one to care for the children. Continuing on our way we met Cecilia Lescrynski coming out of the A P with a bundle of groceries. She told us she was giving a demonstration in one of her Home Economics classes the next day and she invited us to attend but most of us were unable to because we had already had a tiring weekend. Bidding her goodbye, we continued to our homes. So, Mr. Wiser, we feel that our class has benefited by your inspiring guidance. Here's hoping that this letter will find you and your family in complete happiness. Sincerely, Compliments of DURKINS DINER 31 % 3 ‘V , ll K- Compliments of HANSEN SONS Builders 32 ROW I: K.

Mr. Went and Mr. Wiser will never be forgotten as the two Roumanian sisters. On May 2nd, the Junior Prom, our biggest event of the year was held.

The party was victorious in placing three out of four candidates into office; therefore, the Independent party's platform was put into effect in September. A situation that has plagued both the office and the Student Council for a number of years is in the process of being settled. A place on the school grounds for the bicycle rack has been agreed upon by both factions. Mr. Went, with the help of the shop boys, has consented to build the bike rack. Materials have been ordered and will be installed in the spring. It was the general consensus of opinion throughout the student body that the cop system was inefficient. It was said that cops were showing favoritism toward friends who were breaking laws. Thus the following system was adopted. All members of the Student Council now have the power to bring in for punishment anyone who was breaking the law or any cop who has seen a violation and let it go by. Another case where favoritism was being shown was in the var ied punishments of the violators of Student Council laws. Some of the punishments inflicted were unjust considering the violation. A committee was formed to set up specific punishments for stated violations. These were slightly changed by the Council 'itself and have proven effective. The initial event of the year was the Freshman Reception, sponsored by the Student Council to welcome the incoming Freshmen to four happy years in New Milford High School. One of the main factors for the success of the Reception was Mr. Lynch's rendition of Mario Lanza's Be My Love. The two drives sponsored by the Council were The Crusade for Freedom and the March of Dimes . Under the able chairmanship of Matt Lillis with the help of Miss Keeler, the school reached 85% of it's quota of signatures. A skit was produced by members of the Junior Class for the assembly to explain the reason for the Crusade. The March of Dimes was a success because we passed our set quota and collected $63 which was one of the most successful campaigns that has ever been held in this school. The Hartford Courant sponsores a Student Government forum at the Connecticut Junior Republic at Litchfield. Student representatives were sent to the forum in hopes that they would bring back some suggestions to improve the present system of Student Government. One of the ideas obtained was that of an open meeting. This has been tried and proven successful because one of the suggestions, for full time parking permits was O. K. 'd by the Faculty Safety Committee. One example of the power of student reaction, and of the way the office tries to co-operate, is that of the problem of artificial noisemakers at the basketball games. A poll was taken of the student body to get it's opinion of the problem which turned out to be overwhelmingly in favor of the noisemakers. After this, the office then called up the schools in the HVSL to see what they did about noisemakers. It was discovered that they were not allowed in any of the schools. Even though in the end, the noisemakers were ruled out, this is a fine example of the co-operation of the office with student opinion. The Student Council was put in charge of the operation of the dummy cops, which were purchased last year by the Board of Education. The system was discovered inefficient, but with the help of the Faculty Safety Committee and the Junior High, a new system has been devised which is running smoothly. 41 ROW I, LEFT TO RIGHT: J.

CHANTICLEER The Chanticleer is published monthly by the students of New Milford High School. Late last year the Chanticleer met and elected Dick Carroll as Editor-in-chief. His assistants were Rickie Glasgow, Assistant Editor; Shirley Gustafson, Business and Circulation Manager; Joe Lillis and Jean Blair, Sports Editors. For the first time in the history of the Chanticleer an issue was distributed the first day of school. This contained a welcome from Bill Crowley, President of the Student Council, and also a program of what was to appear in the paper throughout the school year. The Chanticleer did a fine job covering sports, Student Council news, socials, proms, class news, and all the latest gossip. The Editorials that appeared in each issue pertained to important school problems and provided much food for thought. The Chanticleer Staff wishes to express its thanks to Miss Lorraine Rakowski, whose patience and untiring efforts we all recognized and appreciated. Without her help the paper could not have been the success it was. 42 T. Fogarty, N. Moore, P. Caldwell, M. O'Conner, C. Long, J. Bennitt, Mr. Kelly, DRAMATIC CLUB RADIO-ELECTRONICS CLUB F. Tuz, P.

DANCING A' One of the new clubs that has been added to the roster is the Dancing Club. At the head of the slate of officers we find Bulkley Gibson as president. Bette Lou Emmons is secretary and it is her job to take the attendance. How would you like her job with an enrollment of 125? ? ? ? On the financial end of the organization we find Audrey Vosburgh who has devoted much time and effort to keep things moving. The membership committee is comprised of Hal Lilien, Nancy Nichols, Lawrence Kamenoff, Bette Lou Emmons, Eddie Bouquillion, Bulkley Gibson, DANCING 6 and Audrey Vosburgh. This club is so large that it is divided into two groups that alternate each week. The aim of the club is to teach the kids to dance, or, if they know how, to learn to be better dancers. So far they have done square sets, waltzes, and fox trots. So that they can show off their talents, they are hoping to have a dance sometime this spring. 45 LEFT TO RIGHT, BACK ROW: A. Kramer, S.

CHEERLEADERS The veterans on the cheering squad are Captain, Jane Wells - Cap , Co Captain, Maxine Anderson- Rah Rah , Bette Lou Emraons- Sparkie , and Edwina Hendricks- Butch . Then the newer selections are Joan Sherwood- Speedy , Nancy Lingle- Hep Pep , and Veronica Barnes- Shorty . The girls have made up many new cheers and have changed many of the old ones. A much appreciated gesture on the part of the cheerleaders is that of their presence at the girl's varsity games, having them cheer the girls on to victory was a big morale booster. We really have a hep cheering squad. They decided that they wanted new uniforms, but they would cost quite a bit so those peppy gals got out and had a food sale that netted them about $40 in order to pay for them. In addition to this they planned a really successful Football Hop. They also helped the Student Council in staging the Alumni Dance. Now let's turn the tables and give a well deserved cheer for a wonderful bunch of girls's, Yeah-Rah-Rah Cheerleaders. 54 Washington The N. M. team journeyed to Washington to open the soccer season. In spite of a persistant drizzle and slippery field both teams played a hard, fast game. A goal by Jean Blair gave N. M. the lead which they held to beat Washington for the first time in the history of N.M. soccer. Newtown N. M. next met a crushing, 10-0, defeat at the hands of a strong Newtown team. The team played an extremely poor and uninspired game. Litchfield N. M. again assumed the winning way by defeating Litchfield, there by a score of 2-0. Newtown A high spirited and vengeance-seeking N. M. team travelled to Newtown and succeeded in tying them, 2-2. The game was, without doubt, the hardest New Milford 2 New Milford 0 New Milford 2 New Milford 2 New Milford 0 55 fought of the season. The foe, made over-confident by it's previous win, was shaken and bewildered by the strength and steadiness of the N. M. attack. The team considered this a great moral victory. A goal by the freshman member of the team, Susie Noble, was the only N. M. score of the see-saw battle. Washington On a cloudy, cold day, under almost impossible field conditions N. M. tied Washington, 0-0, in the final game of the season. The game was slow and the antics of the ref in fishing the ball our of the water which covered about l 4 of the field aroused as much interest as the game. The season was the most successful which N. M. has ever had in every respect. The team displayed always a fine team spirit and outstanding sports - manship.

F00T8AU W ith but three veteran players re -mainingfrom last year's team, Coach Joseph Wiser setaboutthe task of rebuilding a creditable squad. Despite the fact that a controversy arose way back in the summer whether or not New Milford High would support a football team at all, as Newtown and Washington dropped out of the league , and Regional was re-class if ied as a B school, there was enough enthus iasm to warrant scheduling outside teams, such as Guilford and Pine Bush Central High of New York. After 3 weeks of practice the Green Wave traveled to Guilford to trounce them by the score of 36 to 6. Led by Captain Jack Krebs in the running department, and Dick Volinski in the receiving end, New Milford proved just too much for the opponent. On October 4, the team went to Bethel's Parloa Field to play Bethel High. The score see-sawed back and forth until in the last 30 seconds with New Milford trailing 20 to 18, Ken Law made a leaping catch thrown by Dick Volinski which enabled the Green Waves to come away the victor by 28 to 26. We played host to Pine Bush Central High of New York State at Young's Field on October 20. It drew a large local crowd as it was the first Saturday game to be played locally in many years. New Milford kept in the running until the last quarter when the visitors went ahead to a 30 to 22 victory. A home contest with Bethel was next on the agenda, but the referees failed to show up, so the game was called off, and never re-played. Traveling north to play Regional at Falls Village, we determined that this, our last game of the season would be a do-or-die one. It was a hard-fought contest, and, as the gong sounded, the Green Wave was on the lean end of a 26 - 20 score. The Fellows who played their last game were; Captain Jack Krebs, George Beatty, Frank Brandt, Don Schneli, and Ed Cushman, with Pete Messer as manager. 56 Schnell Sk Brandt Cushman CENTER: P.

First and foremost, this year’s team compiled the best record of any Green Wave Five within the past eight years by winning twelve games and losing but four. Second, Dick Volinski broke an all-time season's scoring mark by garnering 293 points for the year. The basketeers opened the season with a thrilling 53-47 victory over Litchfield High at Litchfield. Although the team did look rusty, it showed much promise. The next three outtings saw the Big Green beat Watertown 50-49, but drop two important contests to Bethel and Henry Abbott. The Bethel game was close all the way with Bethel finally pulling it out 39-36. New Milford, which led at halftime 23-21, ran out of wind in the final period and lost 52-46 to the Hat City Five. The Green Wave then won three straight before being stopped by Bethel, the eventual division champion. Not pressed a great deal, New Milford beat Woodbury 52-45. However, we had to go all out to beat a fighting Washington five, 39-38. In our fourth league game the Wiser-coached boys were victorious over Morris, 41-31. In a return engagement with bitter rival Bethel, New Milford fell short again, this time by a 53-50 count. New Milford won two of its next three games with Newtown, Washington, and Watertown. New Milford copped the Washington game easily, by a 72-39 count. The Green Wave then won the Hawley game 51-50 in a real exciting contest. Watertown gave us our worst beating of the year, 59-38, on the winner’s floor. New Milford was the victor in each of the last five games on the schedule, for its longest streak of the year. The Green Wave played one of its best games of the season in trouncing Abbott Tech 65-43. We eat Litchfield for the second time by a 52-50 score in a well played game. By beating Woodbury 59 43 Hew Milford kept itself in contention for league honors. In a makeup of an earlier postponed game, New Milford conquered Newtown in an important contest. The Green Wave came from behind in the final minute to take a 64-60 victory. In the regular season finale, Morris was the victim of the New Milford attack, the Green winning 56-45. In the annual C.I.A.C. Tournament in New Britian, New Milford drew Stafford High School as their opening round opponent. Although New Milford led at half-time 22-18, they were by no means up to par. In the second half the Green could score but eleven points to Stafford’s twenty-four and we were beaten 42-33. This game ended a season full of thrills and excitement, one long to be remembered by the followers of the Green Wave.

Under the able leadership of Coach Adeline Venning, the girl's basketball team concluded a very successful season with a record of five wins and three losses. The team triumphed over the Alumnae, Litchfield, Washington, Woodbury, and Thomaston. They were defeated once by Woodbury and twice by Newtown. Audrey Vosburgh tallied 168 points during the season to be N. M. 's high scorer. The other forwards in the starting line-up were Sally Arnold and Lavonne Crawford who are to be given credit for their fine playmaking and sharp-shooting throughout the season. Holding a tight zone defense all during the season were the guards Jean Blair, Jean Riendeau, and Lois Arnold. Other members on the varsity were Bobbie Schimpf, Donna Corey, and Eileen Carlson forwards; and Diane Woods, Betty Schimpf and Sylvia Wolinski as guards. The Jayvees won three and lost one. They came out on top in contests with Litchfield, Washington, and Woodbury and lost only to Thomaston. In the future with such a fine nucleus of a team, there is promise of many more successful seasons.

S. succeeded in defending its title as HVSL champs, making this its second undefeated season and racking up the impressive record of 18 consecutive wins in the past two years. The loss of seven first string players of the 1951 championship team left several weak spots in the line-up and seemed to denote a mediocre team for 1952. However these positions were filled by spirited and eager candidates who proved worthy of the positions and did their part in keeping alive N. M. 's title for hard-fighting, top notch teams. The season, though characterized often by weak competition which failed to inspire the N. M. squad to display its best game, had its exciting moments and will undoubtedly lead to a sharper season next year. The girls are to be commended for the excellent sportsmanship and team spirit which they showed throughout the season. This is the usual starting line-up, besides these players, everyone on the squad had a chance to play during the season.

BASEBALL The High School Baseball team got off to a roaring start when they played their first game with Morris, beating them 11-3. The team looked swell, with practically everyone hitting safely. But then something happened. For the next three games the Green Wave lost, to Litchfield 13-2 (non-league game), Woodbury 6-2, and Bethel 3-2. The Bethel game was lost on a ball hit over the right fielder's head. Finally the boys came out of their slump and won the next three games in a row. They beat Abbott Tech in a thrilling one-hitter pitched by Bill Crowley. We beat Morris 12-1 with Louis Zurlo and Henry Fredlund leading the pack with three and four hits respectively. Dick Volinski also got a home-run. Then Newtown lost to us 1-0 as Carl Gerstenmaier, running for Frank Tryonoviech, stole home in the ninth inning of an extra inning game. Then N. M. again lost three games in a row. They lost to Woodbury 2-0, Bethel 7-2, and Abbott Teen 8-2. As the last game of the season came up, the team had won four and lost five. In order to wind up with an even record, the team would have to win its last game with Newtown . This last game was rained out twice, but finally, on June 4, they won a thrilling victory with the score of 13-2. This was the team's best game of the year. In the first inning the boys rallied with 11 runs. Bill Crowley pitched a two hitter and had the Newtown boys going around in circles. The ball club will lose four of their nine starting players. They are Bill Crowley, Henry Fredlund, Frank Brandt, and Jack Krebs. Although the club is losing four good players, they will still have a strong team next year.
