JOAN: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I am here tonight to tell you about ROSEMARY WHITE’S new hair curlers. These curlers, first used by Mae Bush, are guaranteed to give you that certain naturalness every girl has always wanted. So stop in at your local drug store and get some. You know there’s always a first time. But first one more thing, girls. Have you tried the new Forever Young cosmetics? If not, you simply mustn't put it off another day. They are products of the LORETTA YOUNG Corporation, and remember, if it’s the finest of its kind in cosmetics, it's by Lori Young. And now here is the sports news of the day. PAUL: In sports today, we have a new world's track record. Yes, you've guessed itl Olympic Track Champion SAM BLACKMAN broke his own record in the reverse mile run.

This is positively phenomenal since they were up against such strong opposition. They played against Grandma Moses and the New Milford faculty. For first class sports reporting read ROBERT KALLENBACH'S column, As It Looks to Bob , in the New Milford Times, which is read by millions each week. (Why not get your copy today?)

Immediately following was BETTY THOMAS, voted top model of the year. She wore a 32-piece bathing suit guaranteed to give that air-conditioned look. The top ten best-dressed men and women of America were selected yesterday and heading the list are the illustrious MARY ANN ONORATO and that suave RICHARD PARKER.

Secretary; and Susan Weatherley, Treasurer. In the fall, due to the departure of Nancy, Betty Thomas was elected to replace her. The Student Council met in every available activity period throughout the year. It discussed solutions for many school problems, the most important of which were: keeping the property clean, parking, the relations between New Milford and Washington students and the cop system in the halls. Besides working on such matters, the Student Council members took trips to the Connecticut Federation of Student Councils’ meetings, entertained Student Council members from Washington High School, sponsored a Green Feather Drive, and helped to arrange the assembly schedule for the year. 48 FIRST ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: D.

A Connecticut State Fish and Game Biologist spoke to the group and, with the aid of slides, explained the fish and game laws of our state.

This was the first year New Milford High School boasted a Field Archery Club. It had about fifty members, most of whom owned their own bows and made their own arrows, strings, quivers, arm guards and finger tabs. The Club had too many members to permit all of them to meet at one time, so a Senior and a Junior Division were organized. Meetings were held every two weeks during school hours and on Thursday nights in the high school gym. In order to shoot safely indoors, the club had old rugs suspended from wires behind the targets. The boys' bows ranged in pulling power from 35 to 55 pounds. Much of their equipment they learned to make during club periods. Several times during the year one could see boys darting about with hands full of newly made arrows. Archery is one of the fastest growing sports in the country, according to recent statistics of the NFAA. The local group is probably the only high school club in Connecticut that is affiliated with the National Association. The two divisions held a tournament and the winners were: SENIOR DIVISION JUNIOR DIVISION 1st. Robert Roger 1st. William Heinz 2nd. Douglas Dwy 2nd. Jim Mac Coun 3rd. Carl Blackman 3rd.

The background of the picture of this Chapter group shows three electrical panels,which were really promoted from ideas discussed in the group and carried out by the instructor with the aid of the Farm Service Department of the Connecticut Light and Power Company and several electrical supply houses. The panels are intended to aid in the promotion of more safe and efficient electrical systems for the farms and homes of the future. These panels have been used at the Eastern States Exposition, several fairs in Connecticut, and by most of the Vocational Agricultural Departments in the state. 52 FIRST ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: J.

CLONARIS rfttcL @Ccc The Arts and Crafts Club under the supervision of Mr. Clonaris did a variety of interesting things during the past year. Colorful number paintings were brought in by the girls and proved to be a lot of fun to work on. The club also made beanies out of leather. Then came a very interesting and new kind of activity--etching on metal. Every other week Mrs. Messer came to help the girls with their work. A project planned for spring was the making of animals out of wool. tflee We just like to sing! The Glee Club, directed by Mr. Hunt, was quite small this year with an all-girl membership.

Nevertheless, they discovered that cooking is an art. Under the capable guidance of their advisor, Mrs. Lyon, they have tried their hand at a breakfast, a lunch, and even a dinner. Since easiest first was their policy, they cooked bacon and eggs, toast, and coffee at the first meeting. The next time they put their newfound skill to a little harder test and came up with a lunch which consisted of hamburgers and cocoa. But the best meal was the dinner--pork chops, french fries, a vegetable, and to top it off, strawberry shortcakel After such exertion they let down somewhat and tried a little foreign cooking in the form of apizza. (Zty gCtd 11 This club, also under the guidance of Mrs. Lyon, succeeded in cooking a breakfast of bacon and eggs, with toast and milk, or doughnuts and coffee, and a tasty lunch of hamburgers, French fries and cocoa. They had a 50-minute period in which to work and learned to be efficient as well as how to cook. LEFT TO RIGHT: J. Dailey, D. Burdick, Mrs. Lyon, Advisor; P. McCarroll, D. Allen, R. Baldwin.

While this is a fairly new club, having been organized just two years ago, it has already become one of the most popular in the school. The club this year, under the able direction of Mr. Devin, had about thirty-two members divided into four teams. Its program was exactly what one would expect from its title: participation in such sports as volleyball, basketball, punch ball and a relatively unknown game called ORGANIZED CONFUSION. This game is played by two teams with a medicine ball as the main object. At the start of the game, the ball is placed in the center of the floor and one team gets on either side of it. A man from each team is selected to lie down in the middle of the floor and take hold of the ball. When the whistle blows, each boy fights to get the ball to his team, which then tries to roll or slide it to the opposite wall of the gym. Lots of fun and excellent exercise 1 55 FIRST ROW ACROSS: E.

A movie, The National Archery Tournament, was shown at one meeting to which the Boys’ Archery Club was invited. In turn the boys invited the girls to view a movie shown by their club. Actual shooting started the first week of April. Officers of the club were: President: Sue Nelson; Vice President: Marion Wilson; Secretary-Treasurer: Rita Bull. This new club of twenty members elected the following officers: President: Rose Ann Blair; Vice President; Marion Crowley; Secretary-Treasurer; Jill Von Ranson. Miss Wagner acted as club advisor. During the activity periods of the year basketball, volleyball, softball and archery were enjoyed by the group. Miss Wagner clearly explained the different techniques which were helpful rn the Varsity and Junior Varsity sports of the year. For an extra activity the members of the club went on a bowling trip to Bantam. FIRST ROW. LEFT TO RIGHT: P Johnson, B Conefry, A. Bodette, R. Blair. L. Wolter, M Crowley. SECOND ROW: J. Stoddard, M.

Mr. Eugene Westfall of Eastern Airlines gave a talk to the club and showed a movie dealing with the opportunities in aviation. The Projectionist Club spent its time running movies during club period and sometimes helping other teachers show movies to their classes.

What boy doesn’t relish the idea of tinkering away for hours on a car? The twenty-five members of this club had done a lot of work on automobiles and had shown a natural talent in this field. But there's always more to be learned and the club’s program presented a variety of interesting information. Local car dealers explained to the group some of the technical changes in the '56 models. They also had movies showing some of the vocational opportunities in the automotive industry. Thanks to Mr. Lee Pasqual, club members had an opportunity during the February vacation to tour the Ford Assembly plant in Mahwah, New Jersey. MR. President: JOHN CUYLER. Vice President: HERBERT SCHALTEGGER, Secretary: BUCKNAM. MIKE KUBISEK, Treasurer: BOB CASE, Advisor The Chess Club contained thirteen boys. This year a ladder tournament was introduced. This worked on a challenge basis, with members listed according to years of playing experience. Each member was allowed to challenge (as many times as possible) any man within two places of him on the ladder. If a boy won a challenge match, he took the place held by the boy he defeated, and any other man in between was pushed down a place on the ladder.

This club proved to be so popular that it was split up into two sections. Meetings were held every other week on Friday afternoon. Rock ’n Roll swept the club and everyone had a great time jumping and bouncing around to those crazy tunes. The Bunny Hop was still a favorite and the Mexican Hat dance went over big too.

This year the Spanish Club consisted of only nine members--all girls. In spite of (or because of ??) this fact, the club was very active and undertook a number of unusual projects. Room 14 at Christmas time was decorated with a pinata--which would not stay hanging. The Reverend Robert Byrd, who had recently returned from a trip to Europe, was invited to come and show slides. Experiments in tortilla-making were not voted highly successful, though interesting. . . .The highlight of the year was an excursion to New York City where the group furthered its knowledge of Spanish art and food. President: MARY ANNE DURSI, Vice-President: LINDA MEZEBISH, Advisor: MISS WEAVER. This new club, consisting of thirteen members, diligently worked out ways to make the Library a more useful place for the students. The job of the librarians included preparing books for circulation, maintaining the files of current catalogues of colleges, junior colleges and nursing schools, and checking out books. Through the cooperation of the New Milford Town Library the school was able to obtain fiction books on loan. A new service whereby books taken from the Town Library could be returned to the School Library was offered by the Club. FRONT ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: L. Wolter, P. Couchevitz, L.

'DxCLHHZtiCb @l(l The Dramatics Club consisted of twenty-four members and met on Monday nights whenever possible. The faculty director was Mr. Savage. At the first meeting a board of directors consisting of Sandra Steck, Mary Anne Dursi, and Sibbie Merritt was elected instead of officers. The members were divided into groups according to their preferences for acting, makeup, or set design. Some of the activities of the year included demonstrations of the principles of makeup by Mr. Savage and then the members all had a chance to practice. Different styles of makeup were learned such as straight, character, and old age. Other activities included records, discussion of what the theater is. and play reading. In December the club presented in assembly the play Why the Chimes Rang, which was well received. The cast included Mary Anne Dursi, Michael Kubisek, Donald Lathrope, Donald Burden. Sid Hine, Fred Conefry, Marion Wilson, Rebecca Keyes, David Riley and Ronald Lathrope. The play was based on an old Christmas legend. Spring activities of the club included working on the senior play set and makeup. Several of the members attended two plays with Mr. Savage. Unfortunately there was not enough time to enter the one-act play contest for the state, but hopes are high for next year. 6l FIRST ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: S. Stack, I. Csutoras, E. Orzech, S.

At this time a discussion of the forthcoming issue would be held, with assignments and deadlines given out to individual staff members. Seven issues were printed during the year. The December and March issues contained special Christmas and Easter features. The final issue of the year was dedicated to the Seniors. Circulation ran high with one hundred and thirty copies put out each time. Of these about sixty were sold by subscription, the rest over the counter . (Teachers report that a peculiar silence prevailed during homeroom period on days when a new Chanticleer appeared.) Every issue was a sell-out. And the profit? It was modest, for the club paid for all its own supplies. It also purchased a file for Chanticleer communications and publications. Regular departments covered by the paper included: Sports, Class News, Current Events, Good Manners, Assembly Programs, and the ever-popular Chatterbox Column. Many of these items were illustrated by artistic drawings. Through the cooperation of other school newspapers, many ideas of mutual benefit were exchanged. 'lecAwital FIRST ROW: M. Murphy, S.

Due to flood conditions the boys lost out on a number of practices, and did not come out with a ery good record. Even though the final scores were all in favor of the opposition, the games were always quite exciting and worth watching. Jim McHann was chosen captain by his teammates, and did an amazing job as goalie after changing from a forward in the middle of the season. The boys played Bristol, Newtown, Thomaston, and Litchfield. The team had very few returning lettermen. Next year the future looks a lot brighter, although we will certainly miss seeing Jim McHann, Dick Hagstrom and Henry Gibson.

New Milford again ended up with a fine record by winning five dual meets and losing only one. The boys also won the Housatonic Valley Schoolmen's League championship and finished first of Class C schools in the C. I. A. C. State Meet held at the University of Connecticut. The only loss—by one point--was to Fairfield Prep in the season's opener. This was a tough break but nothing to be ashamed of in competition with a large Class A School. Austin Barney, Ed MacKenzie and Bob Case all broke the school course record which was held by Captain Sam Blackman. Ed also broke the course record of 13. 14.2 seconds by running the 2. 5 miles distance in 13.07.8, a great feat for a sophomore. He also finished twenty-first in the State Meet. The team looks promising for next year. In spite of the loss of Sam Blackman and Austin Barney, New Milford will still offer a strong challenge with such returning lettermen as Don Freeman, Fred Conefry, Carl Blackman and Billy Reap along with Ed MacKenzie and Bob Case.

The Varsity record for the '55 -'56 season was 5 wins, 10 losses. The boys defeated Woodbury, Newtown, Litchfield, Washington, and the Alumni. The Green and White was in the lead much of the playing time throughout the season and many times lost by close margins. In the Ridgefield game, the most exciting, our opponents scored during the last five seconds to leave the score 50 - 49 in their favor. Under Coach Wiser’s direction, the boys developed both good offensive and defensive plays. The main asset to the NMHS team was Sam Blackman, who broke the school record of 304 points by scoring 308. Blackman also holds the honor of having the highest average per game in both divisions of the Housa-tonic League. Close teamwork kept the games exciting from start to finish. Sam’s jump shot. Bob Kallenbach’s outstanding defensive work and Skip Warner's success in retrieving the rebounds were always high points of interest. Due to illness and injuries the team played their last few games with a minimum of players.

The girls basketball team had a fine record. Throughout the season they displayed sportsmanship and the capability of mastering new techniques. The first few games played away were lost by close scores. Due to weather conditions, there weren’t enough Alumnae on hand to play the traditional Alumnae game, so the varsity divided into two competing teams for the evening. After the Christmas vacation the girls tried harder then ever and the scores got closer. New Milford then came through with an overwhelming victory over Thomaston. The next exciting thing occurred during the Newtown game when Sue Cronin, with two seconds left to play, made a basket from within three feet of ha If-court. One of the best games ever seen here was the one with Washington. It was a close contest throughout. Carole Knittle and Judy Stoddard both scored in the last few seconds, leaving Washington the victor by a margin of only one point. The following day, to climax the season, the Green Wave girls, in an equally exciting game, edged Litchfield in the last minute of play.

Actually it wasn't the record but the spirit and attitude of each player that made the season a very successful one. The two games with Washington can be rated as the most exciting. The first game at New Milford was -nip and tuck all the way through the game but was won by the Green Wave girls in the last of the seventh, 9-8. During the second encounter the tables were turned and Washington won on their home field 7 6, in the last of the seventh.

Despite this the Green and White still managed to finish third in the League, behind first place Bethel and runner-up Ridgefield. However New Milford took a game from each of these teams. Sparked by the spirited play of Senior Bob Kallenbach and freshman Allie Yarochowicz, and by the pitching skill of Skip Warner, the team won three of its first six games in spite of a minimum amount of practice. The over-all record for the season was 4 wins, 6 losses. Mention should also be made of a rained-out game with Abbott Tech. With New Milford leading 2-0, the game was called at the end of four innings and was never replayed. Don Hungerford, playing his first season of varsity ball, showed outstanding defensive work and helped strengthen Coach Wiser's infield. Big guns at bat were Henry Gibson with a . 345 average and Bob Kallenbach with a . 306 average. Coach Wiser will miss the services of Bob Kallenbach, Dick Hagstrom, Skip Warner, Sam Blackman, Henry Gibson, Don Hungerford, Duane Davin, and Don Burdick, who leave this year. A comparatively young nucleus is returning next year. The JV team, unable to find a place to practice, managed to play only two games away and lost both games.

The Varsity track team in breaking four school records had one of the finest seasons in the school ! history. The cindermen won their first HVSL championship by piling up 52 points, defeating Regional High of Falls Village, Litchfield, Bethel, Thomaston, and Ridgefield. The team placed in every event but the 100, winning the 440 and 880-yard runs, shot put, and discus. Their only defeat was at the hands of New Canaan, the indoor and outdoor CIAC champs. The En Em boys placed third in both of these meets with 21 1 2 and 22 1 2 points respectively, while coming home with a total of 19 medals. In dual meets the Green Wave won over Regional 74-33, an Litchfield 58-46. In triangular meets New Milford won over Cheshire and Thomaston with a score of 64-47 1 2-10 1 2. The only loss, as mentioned, was to New Canaan, which scored 74 points to New Milford's 22 1 2, and Cheshire's 20 1 2 points. Every member of the team was a consistent point winner for Coach Devin. Consistent first place winners were George Buckbee in the discus and shot put, Sam Blackman in the 100, 220, and 440-yard runs, Don Freeman in the high jump and broad jump. Bob Case in the mile, Ed Mackenzie in the 880, and Dave Riley in the pole vault. Records were broken in the discus, mile run, pole vault, and half-mile run. Big George Buckbee threw the discus 127 I , breaking the old record of 120 ii . Bob Case, sophomore miler, broke the mile record of 4 minutes 56 seconds, which had stood since 1944, by running the distance in 4 minutes 53.8 seconds in the state meet. Freshman Dave Riley broke the pole vault record of 9 3 by reaching a height of 9 6 . The 880-yard run record of 2 minutes 8. 5 seconds was broken twice during the season by sophomore Ed Mackenzie. Ed was timed in 2 minutes 7.4 seconds. Along with the above, returning lettermen for next year’s team will be Carl Blackman and Don Freeman. Coach Devin will miss seniors Sam Blackman and Don Burdick. Sophomore Dennis Buttinger, valuable in the dashes and relay, will be attending a private school next year. 75 KNEELING, LEFT TO RIGHT: B.

The tennis team this year, for the first time in several years, was a combination boys and girls team. The team played five matches and had a fine record. They played Litchfield twice in mixed matches and won both times. At Ridgefield, in an all-girl match, they won all sets. The only defeat of the season was with Westport. Jill Von Ranson, however, came through by winning the number one singles match which went three sets. After winning the first set 6-4 and losing the second by matched points, she went on to win the next set 6-4. This match took over two and a half hours of constant volleying. The girl Jill played was a senior with three years experience in competition and for Jill's first year on the team, she certainly put on a fine performance. The boys played their only all-boys match against Forman School. All three boys, Fred Conefry, Bob Case, and John Cuyler, won their singles matches. The only doubles match, played by Fred and John, was an easy 6-0 win. The tennis team is losing four varsity members: Judy Stoddard, Joan Newkirk, Mary Anne Dursi, and Sib-bie Merritt.

Mary Jane Borgstrom, a freshman, Barbara Anderson and Susan Nelson, sophomores, were elected to the squad in the fall. Miss Hayward was advisor for the first half of the year and she helped a great deal with the making of new uniforms. When she left. Miss Salvio and Miss Wagner took over as advisors. Under their direction, new cheers were learned, a mascot was acquired, and each girl obtained a new megaphone. The squad held a Basketball Hop in honor of the Varsity Basketball teams on February 17, Leaving the squad this year are Sandra Steck and Shirley Anderson. Pat Went will succeed Sandra as captain.
