This Senior High School graduating class, the members of whom we all know personally, makes history and sots precedent as it goes. As the round of seasons come and go each succeeding Newington graduating class will attempt to meet and surpass the precedents and standards of this First Class. You have met unique responsibility In a splendidly serious fashion. The quality of ,fThe Sequin Is Just another illustration of how you have helped make Newington High School bettor, which in turn makes Newington, the State, and the World Just a little better. Great world changes come through Just such an accumulation of infinitesimal bits of goodness. PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE To the Graduates of 1938: It Is with pleasure that I commend the class of 1938 for the pioneering work which has been done by your group. You have been fortunate In having the privilege of being the first class to instigate many of the worthwhile things in curricula and extra-curricula activities In the high school.

May you continue with the same dynamic spirit into the years of life that are ahead of you. THE SEQUIN (1937-1938) First Row L-R: R. Turner, I. Berry, L. Wegmann, S. Terwilleger, J. Bloch, R. Holden.

D. 1, New Britain SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS President---Robert Holden Vice-President--Ralph Turner Secretary-Treasurer---Jennie Bloch Class Flcwer—Gardenia Class Colors—Maroon and White CLASS PROPHECY, 1938 Time: 10 years hence Scene: As follows - As we are walking down the street of a modern town, this sign confronts our eyes, Clayton Olsen, Scientist and Specialist in Foretelling the Future. We enter a dingy underground suite of rooms remodeled scientifically, we suppose, under Mr. Olsen s able supervision. Mr. Olsen: Good afternoon, ladies; have you a particular problem with which you need assistance? We: Ten years have passed since we have seen our classmates. Is there aiy possible way of telling where they are now and how they are progressing? Mr. Olsen: I have Just compounded some colorful solutions which will enable you to per- ceive the locations of the present positions of your pals. After setting up several colorful, oily liquids, he proceeds. From the vermillion solution comes the picture of a beauty salon where Gert Stanton is attending Mrs. Merrill Stevens, the millionaire heiress. Mrs. Stevens: Hurry up—I have an appointment across the hall with that famed physio- therapist, Miss Isabel E. Berry. Through the entrance of the salon comes Adeline Hollis. I have just a few hours off from the office; I d like to have a facial and manicure in a hurry. You know, I Just passed Mike Sartinsky driving Dora Mathewson and her dancing pupils down to the theater in a yellow cab. The white solution reveals a county hospital at which Edward Tyburski, an interne, is assisting a doctor who is performing a tonsil operation on John Twardy. Later Barbara Barbour, R. N., is seen reviving him from the anesthetic or perhaps the diet which dietitians, Marjorie Pape and Natalie Russell, have prepared for the patient. A purple compound brings forth the town s most progressive theater, designed and constructed under the supervision of Conrad Charbonneau. As Ralph Turner struts leisurely into the theater, he presents a pass, (the donor, Dora Mathewson) to Paul Agogliati. Paul: Dodo and her girls are on at 9:40 tonight. Ralph: Hey—can you get me a seat in the front row? Paul: I can t—but walk straight ahead and ask Bennie Levinski to get you a front seat. Ralph: Thanks. Take these flowers backstage, will you? After Dora s sensational act, the newsreel presents Sport Spots. Here we see Louis Chalko dribbling up the floor for one of his renowned shots. The next scene reveals Teddy Lenczyk s superb form as he makes a hole In one on the links at Bermuda’s first-class golf course. In the political world. Republican President Leda Bernice Square-Deal V.egmann, first woman President of the United States, is seen presenting a speech entitled Let the Children Decide for Themselves. May we add that she received thundering applause. Out of a blue maze we see slowly emerging, the twinkling neon Newington Swing Club. Here Christy Finegan’s orchestra swings Into Loch Lomond with Bob Holden bringing it to a grand finale with his inimitable washboard solo. Alyce Johnson, dressed In shimmering silver lame, goes into her weekly song and accomplished dance specialty act, accompaniod by the celebrated twin pianists, Madamoiselles Ignis Chadwick and Stella D’Eddy. At a table for two wo find Misses Vivian Anderson and Harriet Holt, school marms, sipping soup and stoically swallowing swing. An oily, black liquid slowly brings to form an airport where Robert SJolander and Chester Rowley, joint aeronautic engineers are instructing Joseph Condron and Charles Wilber, their assistants in planning a new air route from Pensacola to the Orient. A newspaper office is produced from a pink compound. Lois Webster, editor of the Society Page, is seen speedily typing comments on Ethel Ford’s dinner party. Sherley Terwilliger breezes in from an assignment. She presents a story on Jennie Bloch, winner of the $5000 Cake-Making Contest. In the Ladies’ Sport Section, we see Julia Cwikla, editor, typing her personal Interview with Paul Push-’em -up Jervis, outstanding shortstop for the Yankees. David Banks, Efficiency Expert, is reprimanding Winnie Bates, the sob sister, for overunning her budget. For the homeraaking page, Florence Lawson is writing three tempting salad recipes, while Orlanda Marchi and Julia Kurtz, cooperatively perform social services. It is Ruth Goodale's enormous duty to collect the day's items for publication and put them in order. The fumes encircle and fade; slowly our hazy minds return to the present. Our curiosity is completely satisfied, so we depart with many thanks to the scientist.

It has been the aim of the class not only to receive a good education, but also to be of some use to the school as well. In 1934-35, members of our class took an active part in the building of a nine-hole golf course. A golf club was established, and its members played other schools In competition for the Championship. Newington has had the honor of receiving this award for four years in succession. During the same year, the Student Council was organized. The Council has done much to raise the morale of the student body in the school. We feel that this organization should be mentioned in connection with our class because Christopher Finegan, a member of the Senior Class, has been president of the Student Council since its organization. In September of each year, when school reopens, the Council holds an Induction ceremony. At that time, the newly elected members take vows for their future service in the Council. In the year of 1935-36, the class organized the first Dramatic Club in the Newington Senior High School. Because of Its financial success, the club was able, with the assistance of the School Board, to present a six-piece set of furniture to the school for use in the teachers' room and in Dramatic Club productions. The Music Group was organized in 1935-36 as the result of a suggestions made by Charles Wilber, a senior class member. The faculty adviser fpr this group was a former teacher. Miss Stratemeyer. A musical was given by the group, and they used some of their profits toward a week-end trip to New York. The Athletic Association was organized in 1936-37. This group ha3 sponsored different projects to raise money to assist the school in the purchase of athletic equipment. Several athletic groups have been formed within our own class. This year we have had a girls1 basketball team; basketball, golf, baseball, and bowling teams for the boys. At the end of the tenth grade, we found that Instead of attending New Britain High School as the preceding classes had done, we were to remain hero in Newington to complete our high- school education. At that time we were very much disappointed. Now at the end of our stay here, it Is with a feeling of regret that we leave the Newington High School, for we feel we have gained as much and perhaps more than we would have if we had attended a larger Institution. CLASS WILL BE IT KNOWN TO ALL PERSONS, THAT WE, the graduating; class of 1938, of Newington Senior High School, of the Town of Newington, in the County of Hartford, in the State of Connecticut, being of lawful age, of sound and disposing mind, memory and judgment, having successfully completed three fruitful years at said institution, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last Y ill and Testament, that we may justly share these our properties with those our successors, having revoked all previous wills and codicils by us made.

The Scribe, in its present form as a six-page newspaper, began as a literary publics tion in the early fall when Beulah Dione arrived from Hartford Public High School th idea and ambitions. On February 1, The Scribe appeared as a four-page newspaper. Soon after, on March 18, a formographed head was added with two pages extra, one of which was the popular Pen-Point Prodigies, a full page of actual events and romances in the school drawn in to cartoons. Considered in its entirety, the paper has made exceptional advances under the editorial guidance of Mis3 Y arren and the able business guidance of Miss Smith.

Miss Hall and Mr. Frey were appointed as faculty advisers. The purpose of this organization is to promote athletics in the high school. Two members of each home room in the Senior High School are elected each year to represent each grade. Bridge parties were sponsored to raise funds with which athletic equipment was purchased. With the cooperation of the pupils a new baseball field was laid out on the Center School grounds. During the second year the Athletic Association has tried to progress more rapidly and become an asset to the students. A cheering squad was organized with a cheering section of loyal rooters. The organization has also adoDted a school insignia for students to purchase. Plans have been made to run a booster day for baseball. At present, the organization is working together with the alumni to put on a play day. Present plans include an Athletic Association dance to be given annually. With the cooperation and support of the students, the Athletic Association will expand and will continue to take an active part in the affairs of the Newington High School.

The group is made up of girls from the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. The club meets every Friday and holds a business meeting the first Friday of every month. With the assistance of Mr. Humphrey the club selects its own sheet music. The Sweetest Story Ever Told was the first song that was mastered and is one of the Glee Club’s favorites, along with Neapolitan Nights and By The Mississippi. The Glee Club took part in the annual Christmas program and are preparing to take part in the graduation exercises.

Rowley The Dramatic Club was organized by the sophomore class in 1935. At that time all members of the class were members of the club. Officers were elected as follows: President, Vice-president, Secretary, Treasurer, and Faculty adviser. Soon after the organization of the club a constitution was drawn up and approved. We chose for our faculty adviser and coach, Evelyn E. Sorrow. The purpose of this club is to develop an interest and appreciation of plays through study and dramatization. The Dramatic Club has gone far since 1935 and has taken In new members through try-outs each year. The club has given presentations of several royalty plays such as: Hero Comes Patricia, Presenting Polly, The Howling Dog, and just recently three one-act plays, Mary Comes Home From College, The Deceivers, and The Invisible Clue. It has also given Ransom of the Red Chief in connection with National Education Week. A play, Hanging Uncle Henry, was presented for the Alumni Association. We also have given plays merely for the entertainment of the student body. Just What She Wanted, one of our Christmas plays, was well received. The club has earned an excellent reputation and we are all sure it will continue to gain friends through maintaining its fine standard of performances.

At present the association has twenty-five members. When the school board of the Town of Newington was selecting a site for a .lunlor high school, unforseen difficulties arose. To get the location that was desired, four acres more than was needed were included in the deal. This extra land, sloping away from the building, was mainly swamp land. While most people thought of this as waste, some of the caddies at the local golf course suggested that a small golf course could be developed on this land. The boys went to work on this project as soon as they were able to get the cooperation of the students. Their first task was to burn the extra1 area. The stones and brushes were then removed, and all the fairways were raked. The boys in the gymnasium and mechanical drawing classes helped pull the roller over the fairway. A ditch was dug through the center of the area to act as a drain. Advertisements were placed in the local papers for second-hand lawn mowers and cutting began at once. The nine members of the committee who started the project drew lots for the selection and development of a green. The project attracted the attention of the local golf professional and greenkeeper who contributed fertilizer for use on the greens. It was necessary to recross the brook that ran the length of the property. The manual training department was given eight trees in a local wood lot. These trees were cut down and worked into timbers which were used as the framework of throe bridges that were built across the brook. A farmer pupil of the school who was taking automotive work in the State Trade School, offered to supervise the construction of a tractor. A light sedan was purchased and dismantled by the pupils. The boys fixed the sedan, so that It traveled slowly enough to hitch on a horse-drawn lawn mower. As soon as the pupils were able to operate this tractor, the hand mowers were removed to a large extent. The domestic science class cut out numbers and sewed them on to bunting for flags. Bamboo poles were donated by a store for flag pins for the greens. The golf professional again came forward and donated several old cups for the use on the greens. On the afternoon of June 14, 1934, following a short auditorium period in which dedication exercises were held, the entire school went out and officially opened the course with a tournament• During the summer months a golf club was organized and the townspeople were invited to join. The fee is one dollar for the season. A ten-year program for the beautifying of the entire area has been mapped out. Pupils and townspeople have been impressed by the transformation of an eyesore to an area of beauty where healthy recreation awaits all who will but partake in it. In the developement of the golf course, the association ran into financial troubles. At a meeting the association voted to put on a play in the school auditorium. The organization asked Miss Stratemeyer, a former teacher in the school, to help select and direct the play. The play, Black Derby was a success, and put the organization sixty-five dollars ahead. At present, a nine-hole course is in use. The holes average a distance of a hundred and twenty-five yards. This year three net greens are being built. These will change to some extent, the original plans of the course. QUID NUNC?

Lenczyk, B. Levinskl Third Row L-R: V� . Palomski, Mr. Frey (Adviser), C, Chalko The Newington High School golf team is ready to face any opposition that any high school in Connecticut can offer. In the 1937 golf season, Newington won eighteen games and lost one. For the same year, the team won the first Hartford District School Championship and placed fourth in the State Championship. Coach Frey thinks the boys will go places in the 1938 season. The players are more experienced. They hope to win the Hartford District Championship for the second successive year, and to win the State Championship for the first time. The chances of winning both titles are good. The team wants to establish some sort of a high school record in golf by winning all their scheduled games. Newington plays all their home games at the beautiful Indian Hill Country Club.

Alumni at Newington The Newington Zephers or the Alumni, lost a heartbroken to Newington. The Alumni was ahead until the last quarter. At this point they changed from a zone defense to a man-to-man defense. Newington won 22-20. Berlin at Newington Berlin was nearly ready to get back at us for the beating they suffered at our hands earlier in the season.

The game was very slow. Both teams missed three times as many shots as they made. The final score was 20-9 in favor of Southington.

The Newington High School baseball team looks like a good team. Although they lost their first game by a 13-3 score, they came back and defeated the highly praised Berlin team 5-3. Farmington High handed Newington the 13-3 beating. This lop-sided score proved to be an asset because in this game the weak spots in the team were discovered by Coach Hank Adamowicz. This is only the beginning, but with the improvements made after the first two games it is safe to say that the Newington team will win more than its share of games. With Paul Jervis, the best ball player Newington has seen in a long time hustling the team on to victory, and with the excellent pitching of Charlie Wilber, the team is almost certain to have a good season.

With the cooperation of Miss Hall and the pupils, the girls have been quite successful In carrying out their plans. We have had three well-attended play-days• The first group of girls sent went to the Berlin High School. There they played dodge-ball, basketball and volley ball. Teams were organized according to colors. Half of the team was made up of girls from Berlin, and the other half was composed of Newington girls. In this way the players knew with whom they were playing, and no one school became the victor. Another group of girls visited the Plainville High School. The same games were played there. To complete each play-day, refreshments were served and dancing followed. The third outing was a State Play-Day which was held at the Hartford High School. Five girls from each gym class were chosen as representatives from our school. Girls from many schools in Connecticut were present. They were divided into two teams. One was designated as the Red Team, the other, as the Yellow. Baseball, bowling, volley ball, ladies football, pingpong, shufflebpard, and relay races were played. After each game was played, the score was recorded for each side. The total scores of the Red Team exceeded those of the Yellow Team. The victors were awarded white ribbons with the inscription, wPlay-Day 1938. Refreshments were served and all girls participated in the singing which followed. The girls certainly deserve credit for their good work In basketball this year. Although they have been defeated in both tournaments, they are not being held down by either of these defeats. The results of the first tournament are as follows: GRADE TECHNICALS PERSONALS SCORE 12 3 3 27 10 3 22 11 1 4 27 12 1 6 20 11 2 29 10 1 30 Because each team won results: one game, the tournament was held a second time with the following 12 1 1 16 11 1 1 27 11 1 25 10 2 21 The eleventh graders won the championship at the final tournament.
