GOLF TEAM (1937-1938) Front: L. Chalko Second Row L-R: T. Lenczyk, R. 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.

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? A graduate I How sweet that new word sounds To our awaiting ears After the endless, ceaseless (?) toil Throughout these four long years. A job? How vague that possibility seems To our determined minds.. It seems fruitless, even hopeless When we view the waiting lines. But— We've got to face the music, To face it with bravado And the only way to do it. Is to practice our vitratol Note to non-musicians: Vibfrato means moving to and fro, pulsating, throbbing, swinging. I. I. Berry
