Newington High School - Sequin Yearbook (Newington, CT)

Text from Pages 1 - 172 of the 1955 volume:

poftewond In making this record of the curricular and extracurricular activities of the school, we were constantly aware of the need for a unifying theme. After due consideration the staff decided that the theme Hands would he a suitable one. To the guiding hands of the faculty, especially our class advisors, Mrs. O’Donnell, Miss Rice, and Mr. Block, we are deeply indebted. For her untiring work and help we would like to thank Miss Kelly, our Sequin advisor. Throughout the book we have endeavored to portray the hands of the students as they appear to us: the industrious hands of the workers, the strong hands of the athletes, the scholarly hands of the students, the friendly hands of all our classmates, and the controlling hands of our class leaders. Our intent has been to include each senior and all the senior activities, as well as those of the underclassmen at Newington High. We hope that we have succeeded and that you will find pleasure in reviewing 1954-55 through the pages of this book. THE EDITORS First row, left to right: P. Baptist, B. Sobanski, R. Angle, M. J.

JOHN GOODRICH MISS EILEEN C. KELLY Sujte c tte tcte tt 6 Scientists are reported to be experimenting with hormone injections which can keep people from growing old. Actually many people have found the fountain of eternal youth another way. A person is young as long as he is growing. Although we all stop growing physically, our understanding can keep enlarging all our lives. As long as we keep wondering, seeking for new knowledge and keep our attitudes flexible enough to adjust our thinking to it, we can enjoy the supreme satisfaction of the sense of growth and youthful vitality. By the application of this method many people old in years have kept young in spirit. To do so is to realize our potentialities and live in accordance with God’s will for us. Too often we go through the pages of a yearbook without giving very much thought to those who made it possible. My sincere appreciation is extended to those students and faculty members whose planning and toil have given us this treasury of personalities and events. As the years go by, you will find it of assistance in reliving so many of the happy times of the past. May the members of the class find, within its pages, a host of pleasant memories. MR. JOHN W.

Soccex Although the soccer team had many experienced players and an abundance of fighting spirit, it was unable to come through with anything but a fair season. Newington suffered four defeats, winning only two games and tying five. Of the twelve goals scored nine were made in the last three games, of which Newington won two. The inability of the team to score at the beginning of the season accounted for three close defeats and two scoreless ties; otherwise the team might have had a better record. The highlight of the season was the Windsor game in which Pete Heckert scored four times, enabling Newington to win by a 5-2 score. Keckert ended the season with a total of seven goals which was the high score for the team.

The Council holds membership in the Connecticut Federation of Student Councils and the New England Student Government Association. Delegates from the Council attended the week-end conference of the New England Student Government Association this year at Wellesley, Massachusetts, the State Conference at Teachers College of Connecticut at New Britain, and the Regional Conference at Windsor High School. During the year the Student Council sponsored two dances, the Halloween Dance and the Sadie Hawkins Dance. The Council also sold basketball pins for the “Indians.” and helped out on the Clothing Project and the Junior Red Cross Membership Drive. The Student Council is under the direction of Miss Ella Rice. OFFICERS President RICHARD MADDEN Vice President ARTHUR LECALL Secretary CAROI.

S it e The Scribe, the voice of the students, reports the news, sports, features, and social aspects of the school. For the first time this year the Scribe has been published on a multilith machine, a great improvement over the mimeographed copy. Multilith copies furnish clearer print and make the reproduction of pictures possible. Monthly publications are reported by alert students from the three classes. This year the staff has increased considerably. The art staff has worked diligently in providing varied and attractive headlines. Cartoons also have added humor to the paper.

A major improvement has been made in the general ap| earance of the paper resulting from the use of the multilith machine, the gift of last year’s seniors. The w'ork consists of typing the articles received from the literary staff onto dummies. Pages are set up from these dummies and retyped onto multilith plates. When all the plates have been run off on the mimeograph machine, the pages are then assembled and stapled together, and the Scribe is ready for distribution.

'Deu I'lie idea for a Dress-up Day originated with a group of pupils in Mrs. Scoler’s Problems of Democracy Class. Much impressed by the appearance of the students, particularly the boys, on the day that pictures were being taken for the Sequin, they decided, as an experiment, to ask the twelfth-grade boys to appear on a certain day in business suits. The experiment was so successful that Miss Walsh’s Social Studies (.lass with Mrs. Scoler s Problems of Democracy Class, worked out a plan for a school-wide Dress-up Day. A majority of the students supported the program wholeheartedly, making the day a most successful one. Tabulation of questionnaires filled out by the students indicated that 245 par- ticipated. sixty-three did not. and 224 approved of having a day of this kind scheduled regularly. ui tyoct PETER ADAMS—lacking interest in cars?

The contest which was ap- proved by the Mercantile Divi- sion of the Newington Chamber of Commerce will be judged by three lending townspeople. Entry blanks are available at places of business of participating mer- chants who will donate prizes of cash and merchandise. These are the six divisions or themes in the competition which seeks the pret- tiest home in each: Spirit of Christmas, Most Religious. ” Most Elaborate,” Most Origin- al.” Best Doorway,” and Best Window.” At a recent meeting of the Hi-Y. the Reverend John J. Stack of St. Mary's Church, Newington, spoke to the club members in an informal discussion. Having been introduced by Margaret Hopper, president of the girl’s division, he spoke on various teen-age problems such as cheating, go- ing steady, and mixed marriages.

The building is so big that I haven’t seen any of my old friends in the halls. Today we voted for our class officers in official voting machines. They are: Ed Patz, President; Carol Doyle, Vice President; Helene Hall, Secre- tary; Rich Madden, Treasurer; and Sandy Nesta, Social Chairman. 1 just got home from school and 1 must hurry to get dressed. Tonight is our Sophomore Hop, our first big dance. The theme is “Stardust” and stars have been sprinkled all over the gym, from the ceilings, on the tables, and even over the walls. Pastel crepe paper has made the gym look real dreamy! I don't feel well tonight for 1 just finished my last exam, Biology! I’m sure “my” frog didn’t have that many parts! Our Class picnic at Lake Congamond was wonderful. I spent most of my time in boats and on the beach getting a “tan”! Ouch! My back is as red as a lobster! It’s the last day of school and I had better clean out my locker or 1 won’t get my report card. Where did I get all these extra hooks? Dear Diary, I’m so glad to be back in school. It has been such a long summer. Mrs. Scoler has just handed Mr. Bowes the results of our class election. Our officers are: Ed Patz, President; Carol Doyle, Vice President; Helene Hall, Secretary; Carol Johnson, Treasurer; and Sandy Nesta, Social Chair- man. Sandy is busy setting up committees for the Poverty Dance. I saved all my pennies for the Poverty Dance which was held on Friday night. Jack Moreschi and Sheila Neumann were chosen King and Queen of Hoboes. Mark Shipman, Ed Patz, and Rich Guerreri won the door prize. (A Door!!!) The Junior Prom, our big event of the year, is really here! We have been working for months and the gym really is beautiful. Our theme is “Evening in Paris” with a sidewalk cafe, tables, and canopies over them, and beautiful French gardens. How my legs itch! I think I caught poison ivy while I was in the woods collecting shrubs and flowers for the garden. The Prom is now a delightful memory. Sheila Neumann was chosen Queen and her escort, Seavey Morse, was chosen King. Mrs. Scoler’s little girls were ladies-in-waiting and were as cute as could he. It was a wonderful night and one never to be forgotten. Spring is here and we are coming to the end of our Junior year. We are going to Ocean Beach today. It is raining, but we are not changing our plans. We had a wonderful time. I had my first ride on a roller coaster and my first driving lesson on the bumping cars. e te H6e . . . Dear Diary, hcl I atz was again elected to head our class as President; Carol Doyle, Vice I resident; Helene Hall, Secretary; Carol Johnson, Treasurer; and James Carlberg, Social Chairman. I m a Senior! It sounds so strange! Mr. Davis was here today and told us it was going to be tough to beat last year’s Magazine Drive. We did it! All together we have sold $7,500 worth of magazines. Miss Rice s homeroom came through as the winner of the sales competition. Mrs. O'Donnell’s homeroom is providing the entertainment and Mr. Block’s is bringing the food for the party. Prizes were awarded to the four top salesmen, John Goodrich, Phyllis Vassallo, Richard Madden, and Mark Shipman. 104 did a marvelous job providing entertainment and the food was wonderful. The Sequin Staff met for the first time today. Jan Hunter and Phyl Vassallo will be Editors of the yearbook. W hat a job they’ve got on their hands! People going by the Home Ec. Department must wonder why girls are making such a racket. The senior classes are refinishing end tables, making bookcases and rugs for their living room. W e have lots of fun but what a mess! Stunt Night tonight! I never knew we had such good talent in our class. I heard my father exclaim! “Oh! No! That’s not my daughter!” W e were measured for caps and gowns today. Now I have to start work on my speech. The Graduation Committee has been chosen and Jeanne Carlberg is setting a committee up for the banquet. Our days at Newington High are rapidly drawing to an end. Well, Diary, this is the last time I’ll be writing. Today is June 17, 1955, and we graduate tonight at eight o’clock. Looking hack over these last three years I can sincerely say I’m proud to be a member of the Class of 1955. cd 2D THE NAN PS OF T M£ WEATHER FORECAST A bright, sunny future Volume LV JUNE 17, 1965 PRICE A penny for our thoughts Newington, Connecticut HOSPITAL IN NEWINGTON?

Do you know why? While visiting Wash- ington, I saw the President of the United States. He was sitting in a shiny black con- vertible waving to everyone —even me. But that isn’t why I am so proud. I was watch- ing the Inaugural Parade, when boys from my home- town marched past me. I saw George Carner, James Cotter, Edward Czelazewicz and William Juchniewicz representing the Marines and Edward Patz, Raymond Old- erman and Peter Adams from the Air Force. I could see only two from the Navy, Charles Davis and Francis Kockanowicz; but from the Army I saw Raymond Hal- leran, Richard Guerreri, Thomas Michalsky, and Don- ald Stedman and William Sweeney. To see the Newington boys representing their coun- try in the Armed Services made me feel good. This is the reason why I am so proud.

She traced the call and sent policeman Thomas Callahan to the address on Mill Street. Policeman Callahan later related that the telephone in the Newington High School Office had been left un- hooked. “It was hard to find any clue as to the strange noises,” said Officer Calla- han. Further investigation, however, revealed that there was a tape recorder placed next to the telephone, blar- ing out “’Twas the Night Before Christmas.” Officer Callahan came to the conclu- sion that it was the record- ing of the Christmas Concert presented in 1954. Janice Hunter and Alice McCaw will leave for Hawaii Friday to become exchange secretaries for a big business concern in Honolulu.

Designers of the new car, James Burke, Henry Gai, Richard Arel, David Hill, and Richard Kischell, were making a trial run of their invention when the car went out of control and smashed into the First National Store.
