David Logan The 1951 Sequin SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE Greetings to the Class of ’51: As a parting message, I would like to emphasize the tact that no matter how dim the outlook may he on the horizon of time, limitless opportunities for success await you. These opportunities will not be open for those who sit and wait for opportunity to knock on a door which they are too timid to open, or for those who are not confident to seize opportunity if it does knock. You must now stand on your own feet, know your own purpose, lx sure of your own ability, and know what you want. Your teachers have instructed you well in the three R’s: we hope you have also acquired the three P’s—purpose, plan, persistence. If opportunity seems to be delaying, we urge you to listen more carefully. Today opportunity has many doors leading to many openings, but you will find the right opening if you believe in yourself and have courage and initiative. The extent to which you have developed the qualities of courage and self-reliance will determine to a large extent the hopes and aspirations of your generation. Best wishes for your future success and happiness. John B. Hendershot 6 The 1951 Sequin PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE The Class of 1951 was the first group of Seniors to experience the emergency status of being on a double-session program. Whether or not there is any distinction in having passed through such a state is not known. The class as a whole has done remarkably well in keeping up a high standard of school work, despite a drastically curtailed school day. The Class of 1951 also had a first” in that their group was largely responsible for bringing the first State Championship in Soccer for the medium and large schools to the Town of Newington. Another “first” was the remarkable piece of work in the field of salesmanship as exhibited by the greatest total dollar sales of any school in the State during the annual magazine subscription drive. It is rather difficult in writing at the half year mark to predict other areas in which your class may again rank first. Your energies have been well spent, your interests have been widely diversified, and your record is one to be envied. Future classes will hold in high esteem the various goals you have reached. The tradition you have started will give them new horizons to strive for.

Warren Mason was treasurer in the junior year, and Barbara Mitchell in the senior year. The Tinsel Ball, held the day before Christmas Eve, was put on by the Classes of '49, ’50, and ’51.

'Tribute to Out Goaclt The year 1951 has been an extremely successful one in athletics for Newington High School. It is needless to say, therefore, that it has been a year of success for our coach, Mr. Donald Roberts. The Class of ’51 feels a real sense of indebtedness to Mr. Roberts for a state championship in soccer, a state contender in basketball, and a capable baseball squad. For these teams that have really put Newington in the state limelight the Class of ’51 extends a hearty “Thank You.” Yet there is more to he said. The “Robertsmen,” the athletes who play under his direction, will tell you that to know him is to respect him. Everyone appreciates a coach who can turn out winning teams. The records show that Mr. Roberts has certainly done that ever since he first came to Newington. Yes, a coach that can turn out the winning teams is appreciated. Far more important, however, is a coach who can teach you to accept defeat, if not willingly, at least graciously; who can teach you to gain every benefit possible out of a setback; who can console you when you are at your lowest; who can rouse you when you begin to lag: and who calls attention to two good things that you have done for every mistake that you have made. Such a coach is Mr. Donald Roberts to whom we now pay tribute. 48 The 1951 Sequin SOCCER TEAM First rou left to ri( ht—F. Docring, R. Anderson, R. W alters. R. Rowland, J. Egan. B.

SOCCER l lie 1950 Soccer team was the most successful aggregation ever to represent Newington High as can be attested to by the plaque, symbolic of state supremacy, which was presented to Newington by the C.I.A.C. at the close of the season. With a season’s record of five wins, four ties, and one loss, the team was invited by a C.I.A.C. selection committee to compete in a post season tournament with three other teams to determine the state championship. In the first round of play the Indians drew as an opponent a previously undefeated Norwalk squad. After defeating Norwalk 2-1. the Indians were matched against their arch rivals. Wethersfield, in the finals. A crowd of 1,000 people watched the Indians conquer Wethersfield 2-1, thereby claiming the first state championship ever won by a Newington High team. A testimonial banquet was held shortly after the close of the soccer season, honoring the team. At the banquet each member of the squad was presented a white coat sweater with insignia in blue indicating that he was a member of the championship team.

Under the excellent direction of Mrs. Williams, the girls were more enthusiastic and worked harder. The combined musical groups this year presented a Christmas Concert and an Easter Concert as well as the annual Spring Choral Concert. 1 hese additional concerts aroused more interest, not only among the students, hut also among many adult residents of the town. At the State Music Festival held this year the Glee Club achieved encouraging results. CHOIR The harmonious blend of mixed voices formed another popular musical group this year. The Mixed Choir, wearing new blue and white robes, never failed to please its audience. In addition to participating in the concerts, the group enjoyed the new experience of singing over radio station WHAY in New Britain. The Choir is very grateful to its director. Mrs. Williams, for her patience and encouragement. Officers—President. R. Smith; Secretary, R. Belkin; Treasurer, B. Mitchell. OCTETTE After the members of the Choir and Glee Club had been chosen, eight students were selected to sing in the Octette. This group participated in the concerts and also presented programs for local clubs and various town organizations. Three members of the Octette, A. Caldwell, A. Athearn, and R. Smith, sang in the annual All-State Concert at the Bushnell Memorial in Hartford. The 19-'I Sequin 65 l irst row, left to ritjht K. Speck, K. Callahan. I . Smith. I. Coughlin. I). Logan. I . Vujs.

The club now has the following equipment: two 16niui projectors, a film strip projector, a wire recorder, a portable amplifying system and a classroom amplifying system. This year a much-needed second 16mm projector was added to simplify conflicts in the schedule. Another addition, brought about by the double session, is the Junior High A.V.E.S. This group has furnished operators during the afternoon session, as there are no Senior High members in the school at this time. In the past few years a film-strip and record library has been built up in our newly-acquired storage room. This material is available to all the schools in town. Next year we expect to have several new pieces of equipment for use in the new school. The future looks bright for this active group.

BOARD Members of the Junior Board of Directors of the Hartford Tuberculosis and Public Health Society are chosen in the spring of their Sophomore year and remain members until June of their Senior year. One of the most important functions in which the Board’s members participate is the Tuberculin Testing program for Juniors in the high school. Other activities in which the members share are sponsoring the Annual Scholastic Press Conference, participating in field trips to various hospitals, and supervising the Christmas Seal Cannister Collection. The T. B. Board meets in Hartford once a month where they see instructive films, listen to lectures on Public Health, and plan projects to help prevent tuberculosis. 68 The 1951 Sequin The Newington High Student Council was established in 1933. It is affiliated with the National Council of Student Councils and is a member of the New England Student Council Government Association. Each year new members are elected from each division to serve as leaders of the student body. The club works for the best interests of the school. During the year it conducts the Junior Red Cross Drive, the Thanksgiving auditorium program, and other special and helpful activities. The council helps select a senior boy and girl to receive the American Legion Citizenship Award. It also sponsors a social activity, usually a dance. The purpose of the club is to promote understanding among the future citizens and leaders of our country.

The Newington Chapter of the National Honor Society is undergoing its tenth year of activity under the supervision of Miss E. Joyce Jamer. It is a national organization established in about 2.600 schools for the following purposes: to uphold a high scholastic standard, to urge the observance of high school rules, and to create a practice of cooperation between students and faculty. Unlike most other school organizations, membership in the Honor Society is determined by a point system for qualities of scholarship, leadership, character, and service. In order to be eligible, a student must maintain an average grade of eighty-five during his Junior year. On this basis, fifteen per cent of the candidates are selected by the faculty and by members of the Honor Society. They are then initiated into the Society in an impressive ceremony held in the High School auditorium to which the parents are invited. Because of the double-sessions this year, the activities and meetings of the Honor Society have been limited. Members have continued work on the Honor Society Scrapbook and the alumni record kept in the office. The group also sponsored dances after the basketball games.
