LAILA KELBRANTS LOUISE JOHNSON DAWN BAGLEY PATRICIA JONES SALLY THOMPSON ELEANOR PETERSON NORINE ANDERSON Superintendent Message As the members of the Class of 1957 near the close of twelve years of school attendance, they should take stock of the knowledge and ability they possess and reflect on the experiences which have taught them most. Much knowledge has been learned through class instruction. The good work habits which have been learned can be applied toward acquiring further learning as opportunities and needs for it arise. In producing school publications, such as Scribe and Sequin; in planning and carrying out school events, such as the Sophomore Hop, the Junior Prom, and the Senior Banquet; in putting on plays and concerts; in raising money for class use; in conducting student government; and in carrying out learning projects under the guidance of teachers, the students have learned to work effectively in groups, each doing his part, and together achieving what no one could have done alone. This learning will enable students of Newington High School to do their part in helping to create conditions in their homes, communities, s{gte, nation, and world in which people may find fulfillment and happiness. Principal’s Message When a member of the Yearbook Committee asked me to write a message for this year’s issue, my thoughts went back to a morning in January when, over the public address system, I presented excerpts to the student body from an article written on school spirit. Perhaps you recall these two sentences: “It is the praise you give your school, the willingness to help your school get ahead. It is giving, not getting—a spirit of heart to give freely of your loyalty, time, and enthusiasm.” The faculty sponsor and student committee who have worked hard to put forth this book personify the ideals presented in the quotation. I am grateful for this exhibition of school spirit. MR. JOHN W. WALLACE Superintendent of Schools MR. EMILLE J. COMEAU Assistant Superintendent MR. CHARLES A.

Student Council The aims of the Student Council this year have been to promote the general welfare of the school, to help develop greater loyalty and a finer and more effective school spirit, and to provide opportunity for student cooperation in the manage- ment of school affairs. The council holds membership in the Connecticut Federation of Student Councils and the New England Student Government Association. Repre- sentatives from Newington attended the Regional State Conference of Student Councils at East Hartford High School, and the New England Student Government Conference, which was held at Mount Hermon School in Massachusetts. The official activities of the council began with the induction of officers and members in October. This was followed by the annual Thanksgiving program which was led by the council. In March, the organization sponsored a dance. Student Day, a program which the council organized to give students an opportunity to assume responsibility and to bring about a better understanding and a greater co-operation between students and teachers, was held in April. Three years’ work by members has culminated this year in the printing of our first Student Council Handbook. OFFICERS president ...

ELAINE FRANKEL The Audio-Visual Education Society, under the direction of Mr. Howard Ide, assists the faculty by the ordering and showing of films and film strips in classes. The group serves the student body by playing records for dances and operating the amplifying systems when they are needed for hasketball games or activities in the auditorium. This year the group has broadened its service to the school by acquiring a new 16 mm. projector, complete with a long-distance lens, making possible the showing of movies in the new auditorium. An added feature of this projector is that the sound can be channeled through the auditorium amplifying system. A further ac- complishment of the organization has been the procurement of an electrically- operated screen for the auditorium stage. OFFICERS ....

I never realized how big it was 'til I tried to find the biology room. It took a little longer than I thought, but fortunately the teacher was understanding and my only punishment was a stern warning not to be late again . . . Tonight was our Sophomore Hop. We decorated to the theme of “Moon Indigo” with blue and white streamers and a large black top hat filled with multi-colored balloons as a centerpiece. Today after school we anxiously awaited the results from our first class elections. Alan Gudrian was elected president; Sam Marshall, vice president; Carol Nicholson, secretary; Louise Johnson, treasurer; and Elaine Hopper, social chairman . . . Well, another few weeks and school will be out for the summer. We've really become established, each with his own interests in clubs and activities. Even the Seniors don’t seem so awesome anymore. Last but not least, we ordered our class rings last week. Boy, what a year! JUNIOR Dear Diary; I thought I'd never make it; at last I’m a Junior. To prove it, many of us are sporting beautiful class rings . . . There was a crowd waiting around the voting machine today, Diary, to get first hand news of our class elections. Mrs. Scoler unlocked the machine, and here are the results: President. Paul Hedwall; Vice President, Sam Marshall; Secretary, Carol Nicholson; Treasurer, Judy Neumann; and Social Chairman, Flo Hanisian . . . Time is passing quickly; basketball season is almost over. We’ve already given the annual Poverty Dance. Hobos would have found it a heavenly haven, had they stopped in at “Hoboes’ Heaven.” You should have seen it, Diary. In the center of the gym was an old railroad fence, and beside it was a large stuffed Hobo sitting near a camp fire with huge patched clouds above his head. Chosen king and queen for having the cleverest Hobo outfits were Judy Neumann and Sam Marshall . . . The big night has finally arrived. Everyone is so proud and excited over our Prom which is the first event to be held in our new cafeteria. The decorations carry out the theme, “Pink Mist,” with Maypoles on the tables, pink and white crepe paper streamers, pink and white spun cotton, etc. The dance was a great success and everyone looked so nice. Susanne Eliot and Bob Hallin reigned as King and Queen. It will surely be a night long remem- bered . . . Here it is spring again and finals are over. We are planning to have our annual picnic at Ocean Beach again this year. . . We Open Our Diary Well. I survived! It was a perfect day, hut never again will I ride on that “hullet!” As for my sunburn, Ow! SENIOR Dear Diary: Well, here I am—a “lordly” senior! Jerry Langille was elected president this year. He will he ably assisted by Alan Gudrian, vice president; Carol Nicholson, secretary; Judy Neumann, treasurer; and Flo Hanisian, social chairman . . . We began our magazine drive today with a speech by Mr. “Curly” (?!) Davis. He seems quite sure we won’t do too well! . . . I guess we showed him! We sold .86,700. Although our class is much smaller, we outsold the previous class per person. Room 101, Mrs. MacKimmie’s homeroom, came out on top. so Room 205 and Room 200 will share the responsibility for providing entertainment and eats for the party . . . It was a great success, Diary. The entertainment was a panic! Everyone who sold over S50 received a certificate and Flo Hanisian. Dot Kasprow. Bruce Sherwinsky, and Norman Toumi received special prizes for selling the most magazines. The Sequin staff is very busy these days preparing the yearbook. Nancy Bray is doing a fine job as our editor. . . First term and a successful season are over, and everyone is looking forward to a great basketball season as well as one of the best Christmas programs ever given at N. H. S.. with the Choir and Dramatic Club combining efforts to make it a success. . . . The year is passing rapidly as the number of senior parties (!) mounts, and everywhere I turn fellow1 seniors are taking exams and filling out applications for colleges. Still others are pondering over where they will W’ork and at what . . . With mid-terms over thoughts are beginning to turn toward the final senior events. Committees have been chosen for the Senior Ball and Banquet as well as for planning graduation ... i Here, Diary, is my last entry. Tonight 1 don my cap and gown to sit with my fellow classmates, perhaps for the last time. We’ve reached our goal, graduation, with the kind help and guidance of our parents and teachers; and as I look back on the three years spent in the familiar halls of N. H. S., I feel a great pride at having been a member of the Class of ’57.

Any complanits should be taken up with the Tea House of Newington and not those who read the tea leaves. During the summer of 1956, we were saddened by the death of a loyal friend, Mrs. Minnie Walsh. Mrs. Walsh, whose maiden name was Stotzer, was born and raised in Newington. She married Jack Walsh, who was the attendance officer for the Newington School Department. He was also the first officer to serve in town on crosswalk duty. After her husband’s death in 1942, Mrs. Walsh assumed his position as attendance officer. In addition she had charge of the concession stand at Churchill Park during the summer months. Because of her frequent contacts with us in both positions, she came to know us so well that she could call all of us by our first names. While on many occasions Mrs. Walsh was forced to reprimand us for our misdeeds, she always tempered severity with kindness and understanding. At all times we were sure that she was interested in us as people and that she was very much concerned about our welfare. As time passes, may we, her friends, who have suffered a great loss in her death, always remember Mrs. Walsh, who was ever ready to assist us when we needed help. Ken L.. •iru jJoa ue B. Flo «.
