Herbert Hall Sports Editors Fred Weber, Louise Mayville Art Editor Marilyn Ouilitsczh The 1947 Sequin 5 To the Class of ’47: You have now passed one of the dividing lines of life. Behind you are about seventeen years, each one carefully supervised by both parents and teachers. Ahead of you is the indefinable future. Business, school, and the working world will absorb you. From now on, each one of you must learn to initiate more and imitate less. While there are many worthy traits and characteristics exemplified by those you have known which you should imitate, if you are to make the most out of your lives, you will have to initiate fearlessly. A study of the great and successful shows them to be rugged individualists who initiated rather than imitated. As you go forth in life, remember these few things: You must not only use your opportunities, but you must also revive old opportunities; you must discover opportunities not yet explored: and perhaps most important, you must believe, in order to succeed, that challenging opportunities which are before you are possible of achievement. (Signed) John B. Hendershot. 6 The 1947 Sequin Plincifial'l With graduation drawing near, many problems confront both the class and the individual. Your group leaves the secondary school in a period when great changes, both social and economic, are taking place. (Ireed among man seems to overshadow many of the more humanitarian efforts that some individuals are making. Too many people, who wish to progress, hope to reach their goal by relying on “whom they know” rather than on “what they know.” The combination of greed and dependency upon making the right connections weakens the individual and in the long run enables the forces that are aiding him to envelop him so that personal liberty is lost. Now is the time for you to take stock and find out where you stand. As an individual, your voice raised in opposition will he of little avail. United with your group, however, you can begin to combat effectively these evils in your own community. (Signed) Charles A. Bowes.

Qalhethall With eight of last year’s lettermen as a nucleus, the basket hall team developed into a smooth-passing, high-scoring combine. Captain Bill Zabel led his team through a 21 game schedule, 14 of which were against Central Valley League competition. With Newington’s entry in this new league, there is a noticeable increase in the students interest in the team’s record. At the present writing, the team has won 10 games and lost 4. All indications |x int towards a very successful season, including Newington’s entry into the State Tournament.

Our hooters distinguished themselves as one of the finest teams in the state. Our record of eight wins, three ties, and but one loss is indicative of our soccer supremacy. The one loss came at the hands of our arch rivals from across the bridge, Glastonbury High, on a dark, dismal, drenching day when our small players were hampered both by bad weather and injuries to key players. Constant drive and team play featured this “dream team” which soundly out scored rival teams 25 goals to 10 including a long-awaited 2 to 1 thumping of Ellsworth Memorial High School. Forwards, Francis Sicuranza, Russell Nugent, Danny Gallichio, Bernard McQueeney, Robert Kampe, and Bill Zabel shared in Newington High School’s scoring, but still, playing by our hard driving half-backs and full-backs made these scores possible. The loyal rooters of our team had the great privilege of seeing the unbelievable play of a left-handed, glue-fingered goalie, considered in a class by himself by different scholastic coaches throughout Connecticut. The 1946 Soccer Team leaves a challenge to the 1947 Team. Let’s hope they will prove superior to this ye ar’s team and let’s give them full support along the chalk lines! 0 1 Glastonbury Newington 3 Bloomfield 1 2 Bloomfield 0 Newington 3 East Hampton.... 0 Newington. 1 East Hampton 1 Newington 1 Ellsworth 1 .... 1 Thomaston 1 Newington 2 Ellsworth 1 1 1 Thomaston 0 The 1947 Sequin 35 SOCCER TEAM First roiv, left to right—B.

The Newington team won the District Tournament by a wide margin. The boys were off their usual game at the State Tournament and finished as runners-up, missing the Championship by four strokes. Ray Traceski tied for the individual low score for the state. 36 Tlic 1947 Sequin ACTIVITIES Silling, left to right—L. Johnson, L. Lenezyk, R. Hutchinson, E. Milezanowski, J. Vujs, B. McCarthy, G.

This year the Student Council plans to sponsor one social activity in the course of the year which will probably be a dance or a roller skating party. The purpose of the Student Council is to promote mutual understanding between the faculty and the pupils. President.......................... ................................

The purposes of the organization are: to uphold a high scholastic standard, to urge the observance of school rules, and to create a practice of cooperation between students and faculty. The Honor Society’s emblem is that of a flaming torch placed in front of a keystone with the letters, C., S., L., and S., at the base. These letters stand for Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service. This society is nation-wide, being represented in about 2,600 high schools. The Newington Chapter is conducted under the supervision of Miss Jamer. In order to qualify for the Newington Chapter, a student must have an average of eighty-five in schoolwork, and he must possess qualities of honesty, cooperation, and leadership. The candidates, students from the Junior Class, are selected by the society members with the advice of the faculty. The selected candidates are initiated into the Honor Society during a formal ceremony held in the school auditorium. This year the members held their annual Christmas dance in the school gym. The Christmas Caper, as it is called, has the tradition of being a financial failure, and this year was no exception. Each member had to contribute in order to make up the deficit. However, the Honor Society hopes to continue sponsoring the Christmas Caper, now considered one of the nicest dances of the year.

Many new and efficient members enrolled in the club and helped a great deal. New features were added, resulting in the biggest paper ever to be put out by any Scribe Club. Some of the new articles that appeared in every issue were “Inklings. a feature illustrating different things the boys and girls do, and “Traffic Questions,” another item that is printed every month, containing a number of questions which are answered by the pupils of the school. “Alumni News” is another feature that has been stressed. A noticeable improvement in the setup of the paper has also been achieved by placing the more interesting articles at the beginning. This year’s paper has also contained much more art The 1947 Sequin work than those of previous years. This has been widely arranged to improve the paper. The variety of articles has also proved to be an interesting factor in the success of the Scribe. Members of the staff have attended press conferences of different types. From these conferences they have brought back many new ideas and ways of running a school paper. The members of the staff are grateful to our advisers. Under their supervision the Scribe has had another successful year.

Musical Organizations For two years, the music at Newington High has been under the direction of Miss Miriam Fairley. Three voluntary musical groups have been formed during this time—Boys’ (llee Club, (iirls’ (dee Club, and Mixed Chorus. All groups participated in the Second Annual Choral Concert in April. The hoys, under the supervision of Miss Fairley, formed their own singing group, the Boys’ (dee Club. The club now has a membership of thirty-five boys, a great increase over that of last year. The Girls’ Glee Club is divided into two groups. The entire group meets every Friday during Activity Period throughout the year. Besides singing at the Concert, this group took part in the Christmas program. It has had several invitations to sing for organizations in addition to its Concert appearance. In March the club gave a program of American Music for the D. A. R., and in the Spring they went to the All-State Musical Festival. Rehearsals were held after school when preparing for outside singing. The club was privileged to have Jean Mitchell, a Junior, as soloist. The Mixed Chorus has a membership of sixty-five boys and girls and meets every Monday during Activity Period. This group also sang in the Spring Concert. The students have all greatly enjoyed working with Miss Fairley and feel that this year they have really accomplished something in music. 42 The 1947 Sequin BOYS’ GLEE CLUB Sitting, left to right—W.

Town Crier Club The Town Crier Club was organized in September 1944, to assist Mr. Bowes in the publication of Ye Newington Town Crier. In November 1941, the first issue of the Crier was sent to thirty-five Newington servicemen. As the mailing list increased, the I.ions Club took over the sponsorship of the Crier, undertaking financing. In November. 1945, the publication reached its peak of nearly 600 copies. Now with the return of most of the servicemen only seventy copies are published. The Crier Club was organized under the supervision of Miss Steeves. 1 he responsibility of keeping the mailing list up-to-date, cutting the stencils, mimeographing the copy, addressing the envelopes, and sending the paper to each Newington serviceman has been assumed by this group.

One of its chief aims is to inspire school spirit in the entire student body of the Senior High School. The A. A. held its annual dance on November 26. This dance was a complete success. The gym was decorated to represent a football field. This year a new type of ticket has been adopted by the Athletic Association. This has lieen much easier to take care of and has proved very satisfactory. As a source of income the Coca-Cola machine and basketball games still continue to he very valuable. The basketball players were provided with knee guards this year for the first time. At this time we are extending to the Athletic Association our best wishes for continued success in all of its future activities. 46 The 1947 Sequin First row, sitting—E. Carey, S. Jacobson, L.

Although this club has neither officers nor treasury and has sponsored no active program this year, it helps contribute to the sports life of Newington High School. This club meets once a week. Under the direction and leadership of Coach Donald Roberts, new and ini] ortant rules and plays of all sports arc discussed and explained. The 1947 Sequin 47 Silting, left to right—V. Morrell, F.

Junior Board This year Joseph Vujs, Jean Anderson, Arthur Trieber, and Mary Rast were representatives for Newington High on the Junior Board of Directors of the Hartford Tuberculosis and Public Health Society. The Junior Board’s part in the Christmas seal sale was the responsibility for the coin boxes. Volunteers were asked to distribute them in department stores, drug stores, railroad stations, bus terminals, and theatres. Members of the Junior Board participated in the annual forums which brought health problems closer to our classmates. The four members from Newington helped in the testing which took place in the school gym. Besides engaging in many useful activities, the Junior Board also found time for fun. Roller skating, bowling parties, Christmas dances, and hayrides were on the program. The 1947 Sequin 49 CLASS PROPHECY “Help! Give me an aspirin,” groans an ailing member of the Class of 1946, who is one of our fellow passengers on the Haltner and Hine Super Jet Propulsion Airline. Jo Smolak. the airline hostess, rushes past us to give him aid. The airplane zooms into I.a Guardia Field and we climb out with relief. “Doesn't being in New York again excite you? It hardly seems possible that it’s 1957 and ten years since we were graduated from high school.” “Out of my way! I have to catch that plane!” We jump aside as the American ambassador to Tanganyika. Boh Dawson, rushes to the plane. We wave good-bye to him and Danny Gallichio, Haltner and Hine’s ace pilot. A taxi draws up in front of us and we gratefully collapse into the hack seat. Imagine our surprise when we recognize the driver to he none other than Paul Coleman. W e want to get out, hut we reconsider and decide that perhaps his driving tactics have calmed down after ten years; they haven’t. As we speed away from the airi ort. we notice a young lady looking longingly after our cab. “Hey Paul, that's Edith Hull ert from Newington. Let's give her a ride.” On the way into New York City we gossip about our old friends from Newington High. “Well Edie. what do you hear from Ivcr Jensen?” we inquire. “Quite a hit, kids. I married the guy. I’m on my way to meet him now.” As Paul narrowly misses an oncoming truck he says, I just brought a car load of teachers to a convention at the Biltmore. Among them were Rose and Vicky Rudek and Marilyn Quilitzsch. Kurt Peterson is introducing his newest edition of a first grade math book which is really a toughy.” “Oh yes, Kurt’s a big success,” says Edith. “Wyliss-ann Holt is running a De Luxe Ice Cream Dairy on Willard Avenue now. Jennie Dziob has opened a dressmaking salon in the city of Newington. Hey, Paul, let me off at the next corner if you're going to l)other stopping for that light.” There is a big commotion on the corner. We see two brightly-colored stands, one of which reads: “Enlist in the Army Today.” The other reads: “Join the Marines Now.” The two men involved in the fist fight are our old pals, Lt. John Newhouse of the Marines and Capt. Boh Peterson of the Army. Policeman Russell Bengston is having a tough time breaking up the fight. As our driver speeds along, we just miss hitting Lester Johnson, who is ambling across the street to his Acme Mattress Company. “Genevieve Gilbert is making a fortune manufacturing U. S. Army ‘Sweetheart’ Pins, which are selling like mad.” says Marie. “Wait until I tell you about Eleanor Peckham.’’ laughs Jean. “She just won a contest at the county fair for baking the biggest and most delicious cream puffs in the state. Will you ever forget the ones we made in Home Economics hack in high school?” Then Jean brings out a copy of a recent book, “Peppy Cheers. It has been personally autographed by the author, Dottie May. We hate to leave now, hut it’s getting pretty late. So long. Dot, Marie, and Jean.” Walking out of the theatre we run into Kathleen Sullivan. “Oh dear,” she says, “is the show over? I guess I’m a little late.” The three of us decide to stop for a cup of coffee at a nearby drug store. The special on the menu was Nathan Hosford’s homogenized homelike hot ham sandwich. Of course we order it. While waiting to be served. Kathleen thumbs through a recent fashion magazine. “Allure.” “Why for heaven’s sake,” exclaims Kathleen, glancing at one of the pages. This advertisement reads, ‘Barbara Ann’s Fifth Avenue Dress Shoppe.' The fashion illustrations are signed by Mary Ann Whit-teker. I didn’t know you two had become career girls.” “Oh sure,” we agree, our work is loads of fun. When we arrive at the hotel, we pick up a morning edition of the New York Times, the editor of which is George Burnham. We read it in our room before retiring for the night. Naturally we read the hack page first, especially our favorite comic strip, “Donald Mouse” drawn by Bill Fitzgerald. Turning the paper we glance over the advertisements. “Francis Sicuranza will teach you dancing in a hurry” reads one. “You. too can type 150 words a minute. Enroll now in Mabel Winter’s speedy stenographer’s class.” “Why he a Bashful Bullfrog? Boh Kampe will teach you how to overcome shyness in ten easy lessons!” “Alan Peterson’s toupes are tops. All shades, red. black, yellow, and brunette.” On the sport page the headline features the star shortstop of the New York Yankees, Bernie Mc-Queeney, whose team has just won the World Series. A few columns across there is a picture of Joseph Vujs, who is to he a guest star on “Information Please.” He will lx? assisting the experts tomorrow night over station WNEW, a nationwide station. Finally we turn to the front page of the Times; the headlines read. “The President of the United States. Alden Carlson, has just issued a special proclamation calling a reunion of the class of 1947 of Newington High School.” SO The 1947 Sequin CLASS PROPHECY (Continued) Upon arrival at the Waldorf the doorman, Richard Milczanowski, warmly greets us and calls the bell hop, Walter McKcen. We stop, as we notice a little startled man with a pick over his shoulder. He looks vaguely familiar, but we just cannot place him. After arriving in our room, we settle down for a quiet evening. Little do we realize the surprising events that are in store for us. After a few minutes the doorbell rings, and we welcome in our old friend Dorothy K. Davis. “I heard you two were coming to New York,” Dot says as she settles down in the armchair. “I took off a few minutes from work to drop in. I’m modeling for Conover now. In fact, that’s a picture of me on that bottle of ‘Harry Sullivan’s Shiny Sheen Shampoo.' Janet Bristol is modeling dresses for Powers, and that’s Virginia Fenner’s smiling face on ‘Walter’s Wisliy Washy Tooth Paste’ ads. It certainly seems as if the class of ’47 from N. H. S. is getting places.” We are interrupted by a loud banging on the door of our room. “Open up in the name of the law !’’ shouts a strangely familiar voice. Trembling, we dash to the door and come face to face with the house detective, Howard Bryden. “Christmas! This is like old home week! But listen, have any of you seen a suspicious looking character with a pick on his shoulder? He’s been mining silver in Alaska and is coining his own money now. I have to turn him over to Judge Lansing-Jones. He was last seen in the lobby this afternoon.” “Oh yes, we noticed the little man. Sorry, but we can’t help you.” Howie dashes off in hot pursuit of his criminal. It is time for dinner now. We decide to go to an exclusive place on Broadway which Dot has recommended. As we walk across Times Square, a gigantic sign with dazzling lights attracts our attention. Flashing on and off are the words “The Root Beer That Satisfies— Weber and Zabel’s Bottling Company. We finally find the restaurant. Ed Johnson’s Fried Clam Paradise. Naturally there is a long line waiting, but the head waiter, Robert Nelson, recognizes us and finds us a table immediately. Again we meet some of our former classmates. In the far corner of the swank “Paradise,” the Florence Nightingale fan club is holding a banquet in honor of Marie O’Connor, who has achieved a doctor’s degree in nursing. There is Louise Deccy, Georgeina McLain, Joyce Rossman, and Louise May-ville. Louise is the master of ceremonies and has all the nurses in stitches. We eat our double order of fried clams to the smooth soft music of Malchiodi’s Rhythmeers. We are so absorbed in eating our delicious dinner that we nearly miss seeing Jean Carlson and Dot Arnold, who are sitting a few tables away with Cliff and Buzz. On our way out we stop for a few minutes to talk to them. “Hi, there! We seem to be running into all of the old gang this weekend.” “You’re not kidding,” says Dot, “we went through Radio City yesterday and saw Betty Jane Olesen’s radio program. “It’s a Riot.” sponsored by Seagren and Stoddard’s Sugar Syrup Sherbet. The program is really a howl.” “ ’ou ought to stop by at Madison Square Garden,” says Jean. “Phil Solosky’s new show ‘Rolling Rhythm,’ has just opened. She’s terrific on those roller skates and with her old pal Pat Gallas as manager, the show is bound to Ik a success.” “We’d better be going now. We’re late for the theatre already. Nice to have seen you. Bye. As we leave the Paradise, our attention is attracted by the screeching of brakes and the honking of a horn. It is, of course, our favorite cab driver. Paul. “Now we’ll get to Carnegie Hall with time to spare, we exclaim as we hop into the taxi. “What a busy day!” groans Paul. “I’ve been rushing Herbert Hall and Betty Leighton from corner to corner. He’s been giving political speeches on his soap box, and Betty is right at his side supplying him with encouragement, water, and cough drops.” When we arrive at Carnegie Hall, complete with jerks and screeches of Paul’s driving, we are surely disappointed to learn there are no more tickets available. Ae we walk away from the box office, Jo Miller dashes out of the theatre. “Why you old busy bees! Am I glad to see you. I’m the manager of Carnegie Hall. Just follow me, kids, and I’ll get you some good seats.” The curtain rises and we hear the dreamy strains of “Stardust,” played by the well-known pianist Jean Anderson, accompanying the celebrated vocalist, Dorothea Saling. For the encore Jean just could not refrain from striking up her famous Boogie Woogie. which she has finally finished composing. After the performance we go back-stage to see Jean in her dressing room. Backstage is in an uproar. Ralph Grollback, a cub reporter for the New York Times, is snapping a close-up of Dot Saling for the morning paper. Stanley Hollis, a traveling salesman, is trying with little success to sell Dot some “Woody’s Woody Goodies.” As we dodge Linus Gronback, New York’s whiz fire chief who is madly stamping out cigarette butts on the fl x r, we reach Jean’s dressing room. “Oh it’s so good to see you kids,” calls Jean. “Ouch!” Her last remark is directed to Marie Villa, Carnegie Hall’s costume manager, who is busily pinning Jean into a new gown she has designed. After Marie moves the pin. we all sit down to talk over the past ten years.
