Newington High School - Sequin Yearbook (Newington, CT)

Text from Pages 1 - 232 of the 1962 volume:

2r ' FOREWORD THERE IS A STAIRWAY that each man climbs. The end of the stairway is hidden. It is wrapped in great luminous clouds. We can look back and remember, for each step is a step upward on life’s way. Each step is a lesson in wisdom. On each step we stand transformed. With hope we look ever upward and climb towards that glorious end. 2 CONTENTS DEDICA TION As we step forth into a small world filled with people who are not exactly like ourselves, but with whom we are expected to live, we feel that it is fitting to dedicate our yearbook to tolerance. But, in dedicating our yearbook, we would offer more. We would dedicate ourselves to tolerance, that this will have meaning for the world. We would dedicate ourselves, not to the distorted tolerance that tolerates from afar, but to an active tolerance that is truly sincere—a tolerance that gives neighbors the right to think, to act, and to exist. We would strive to remember always that the Creator who gave breath to our bodies and thoughts to our minds gave breath to bodies of all colors and thoughts to minds of all capacities. We would dedicate this book and ourselves to a vision that, when w’e have learned all that our minds are to know, we may look back in wisdom to proclaim that we have listened while another has been heard and, agreeing or not, have added to the world. n Administration Administration MR.

First as a teacher and later as assistant principal and director of guidance. Miss E. Joyce Jamer has brought to her work a dedicated loyalty. She has spared neither time nor effort in her work with the students, whether in matters involving personal problems or in those relating to vocational or educational choice. The members of the Class of 1962, as well as the members of all the previous classes with which Miss Jamer has been associated, feel that Newington has been most fortunate in having had her services for so many years. To this outstanding educator, who has always given herself unselfishly to her task, Newington High School owes a debt that can never be fully repaid. 16 SENIORS DOLORES ADAMSON Dolores-Admonson . . . always on the go . . . determination, ambition, charm, and a touch of wit . . . recognized stage talent ... a delightful combination of brains and beauty . . . one of the best known girls at N.

Salamenta Soccer The soccer team, after getting off to a poor start, played excellent ball for the remainder of the season, winding up writh a 5-3-1 record. The high point of the season was a 3-2 victory over Glastonbury, 1960 State Champions. Newington’s great defense, led by all-conference stars Paul Veneziano, co-captain Bob Penney, and Denny Poitras, helped by Barry Kasprow and Joe Balducci, consistently held the opponents’ scores down. The offense, led by Duncan MacDonald with six goals and aided by co-captain Sal Giangrave, Dick Baptist, Dave Nicholson, and Jim Greene, helped compile this fine record.

Each of the four seniors and the four juniors on the team shared in the credit for this achievement. The guards, all seniors, included the impeccable Bob Penney, who bounced back from an early season illness. Scrappy Dave Nicholson and speedster Dune Macdonald formed the remainder of the back court. At center was high scoring junior, Bob Cote. The forwards, four tremendous shooters, were senior, Paul Veneziano, and juniors Dick Klett, Don Colwick, and Wendy Gayson.

Selig Cheerleaders Hard work and intensive practice are the two main reasons for the success of the Newington High School Cheerleaders. The squad is now ranked among the best in the Valley B Conference League. To become a cheerleader a candidate must try out a year previous to cheering. She must attend four out of five practice sesions. At these sessions she is judged on pep, voice, form, appearance, the four leading cheerleading jumps—roll, regular, floor, and flying—the cartwheel and the split. No one who has a scholastic average of less than C may apply for membership.

By perfecting their techniques, the members of this year’s team hope to build up an impressive record this spring when they compete against the following teams: Portland Rockville New Britain Bloomfield Kingswood Jayvees 89 Baseball The outlook for baseball this year shows some fine potential. Centerfield, Dune Macdonald, catcher Dick Smith, and pitcher Bob Penney, who plays third base when not pitching, provide a basis for optimism on the part of the team. Also, juniors Rich Labbe, Don Sullivan, and Jerry Sorrow should contribute heavily toward making up a strong infield.

Each Thursday afternoon the members climb aboard buses provided by the bowling lanes and drive up to the Bowl-O-Rama on the Berlin Turnpike. There the members, who comprise eight different teams, engage in team competition, bowling two strings according to league rules. Prizes are awarded at the end of the season to the winning team, the winner of the high single-string score, and the winner of the two-string total. Club membership is open to any student of Newington High School who has an interest in bowling. Previous skill or knowledge is unnecessary, since all non-bowlers are given instruction during the meeting. The club is looking forward to the formation of bowling leagues in neighboring towns in the near future. Then competitive events with these towns will be held. The bowling club presents an excellent way to become acquainted in an informal setting and at the same time to enjoy a little recreation.

To any girl active in sports the brilliant colors of autumn and the faint hint of burning leaves in the crisp air suggests the clash of hockey sticks and the exhilaration of running down the field at top speed to make a goal. The field hockey season continues until the days become too cold for outdoor playing. Usually there are enough girls to make two teams, which practice by playing against each other. The season is highlighted by play days with other schools in the area and by a trip to Smith College for practice games coached by North Eastern Field Hockey Association officials. Badminton is also held in the fall. The girls play in the gym, and an intramural tournament is held for a number of weeks. Each girl and her partner is given a place on the “ladder.” If they win a game, they take the position on the “ladder” held by their opponents. The partners at the top of the “ladder” when the tournament ends are the winners for the season. As soon as cold weather sets in, the volleyball season begins. It lasts until Christmas vacation. Intramural teams in two leagues play against each other. The winning team of each league participates in a play-off game to determine the top winners of the sport. The rivalry between teams is always very keen. As a sport, the game of volleyball gives its players excellent experience in team cooperation. 95 FIRST ROW, left to right: S. Kelly, H. Olsen, J.

Usually the teams formed for volleyball the maintained for the basketball season. These teams are notorious for their bizarre names, such as the Holy Cows, the Volley Dollies, and the Psychopaths. The basketball tournaments are similar to the volleyball tournaments. The winners of each league play each other to decide the best team. There are usually several basketball play days, in which Newington’s top players can try their skill against players from other schools. Newington also attends the yearly rating clinic at Central Connecticut State College, in which girls’ basketball officials receive their national rating. In the spring the girls’ sports again move outdoors. Softball and tennis are the sports participated in at this time. There are softball play days, and tennis clinics are held in Churchill Park, at which prominent tennis players assist the girls by introducing the girls to techniques which will improve their game. A Girls’ Gym Club has been recently formed, to provide opportunities for the girls to practice their skills on the ropes, on the trampoline, and at tumbling and drill. Folk dancing is also a part of this club’s program. At the present time a Philippine folk dance is the favorite. The sports year ends with the annual Sports Banquet held in June. All girls who have earned enough G. A. A. points to receive a letter attend the banquet. At this time the girls’ sports award is presented to a senior girl who has been active in G. A. A. throughout her three years in high school. The G. A. A. Scholarship is also awarded to a senior girl who is entering the field of physical education. Both recipients of these honors are selected by the members of G. A. A. 96 Girls ’ Sports S3I1IAII3V FIRST ROW, left to right: D. Rondeau, M. Findlay, L. Stamm, B. Schultz, P. Wallace, C.

This organization has four main objectives as expressed in the constitution of the National Honor Society: to create an enthusiasm for scholarship; to stimulate a desire to render service; to promote worthy leadership; and to encourage the development of character. These objectives are summarized on the emblem of the National Honor Society by the words: scholarship, service, leadership and character. The Newington High School Chapter meets on the third Thursday of the month. Among the projects undertaken by the group are providing a Certificate of Merit and an emblem award for high scholastic achievement, making up the honor roll each term, and offering tutoring services to the student body prior to the mid-year and final President Vice President Secretary Treasurer OFFICERS CHERYL JORGENSEN PETER WALLACE NANCY NICHOLLS BARBARA SCHULTZ NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY A. lii £ Basketball Honor Society versus Faculty 101 FIRST ROW, left to right: L.

In September one representative is elected from each sophomore homeroom; in May two representatives from each junior and senior homeroom are chosen. Toward the close of the school year, after candidates have been carefully screened, election of officers for the coming year is held. Prior to the voting, each candidate makes a campaign speech in the auditorium before the entire student body. The purpose of this organization is to encourage and promote good citizenship, and to give students practical experience in organization, leadership, scheduling, management, and evaluation. The meetings, held every Tuesday, are conducted according to the rules of parliamentary procedure. Following democratic procedures, the council welcomes suggestions from the students and faculty as well. In addition to its activities this year, the council held an Induction of Officers, planned a Thanksgiving assembly, and provided bus transportation to away basketball games. The Student Council of Newington High is affiliated with the Connecticut Association of Student Councils and the National Association of Student Councils.

To become a member of this club, a candidate must be a better than average student and, most important, must be willing to discuss, argue, and present ideas before the club.The officers of this group meet with the teachers of those interested in joining the club and decide whether or not that student would be an asset to the club. The Foreign Policy Club is open to members of the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. At its regular meetings, which are held on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month, the members of the organization engage in earnest discussions on current problems. As a departure from their regular meetings, the group this year sponsored an illustrated lecture, “Crossroads Africa,” given by Dr. Ferwerda of Trinity College. The main project of the Foreign Policy Club this past year has centered on the financing of a foreign exchange student through the American Field Service. Plans to raise the necessary money have been put into operation, and it is hoped that by 1963 Newington High School will welcome a foreign student. The climax of the Foreign Policy Club’s year is participation in the annual model United Nations meeting at the University of Hartford in April. Those who attend must be members of the Greater Hartford Foreign Policy Association. Most of the members of Newington’s Foreign Policy Club belong to this organization.

Containing news of school clubs and activities, sports, and various outstanding achievements, the Scribe attempts to appeal to all three clases and to increase school spirit. The meeting dates of the club fall on the first and third Monday of each month. Eligibility for membership is based chiefly on an original article submitted by the prospective member in March of the sophomore year. Recommendations from English teachers and judgment of personal character are also taken into consideration before a student is admitted to membership. Besides putting out a monthly newspaper, Scribe conducts an annual Sweetheart Contest as an extra activity.

Before the members are permitted to serve as operators, they go through a period of intensive training in the operation and care of the equipment which they may be called upon to handle. They then are expected, during their free time, to assist any teacher who may request their services. Because of the frequent demands made upon the rrTem-bers, the club has become an indispensable part of our school organization. The Newington group is affiliated with the School Projectionist Club of America. President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Adviser RUSSELL GLENNON FRANK KOWAL BERNICE GROHS WESLEY IDE MR.

While juniors and seniors make up the membership of this group, membership must be established before the senior year. Usually candidates are accepted from the Sophomore Dramatic Club in the fall of their junior year. Candidates who are interested in acting must try out by reading script parts. They are then judged on their ability to read with expression as well as on their ability to act. Candidates wrho wish to work backstage are admitted to membership on the basis of character and dependability. Each year the club joins the musical groups in a Christmas program by presenting a one-act drama dealing with the spirit of Christmas. In addition to this performance, the club sponsors a major production in the spring. At this performance usually two one-act plays are presented, one a drama and the other a comedy. The organization holds regular meetings on the first Thursday of the month.

Sibbald Junior Leaders’ Corps Any girl with a genuine interest in sports and some ability in leadership may fill out an application for membership in the Junior Leaders’ Corps. Then she must prove her competence by presenting before a selected group a demonstration related to a particular sport. If the demonstration meets the standards set by the group, the candidate becomes a member of this organization. A typical schedule for a Junior Leader during class begins when she makes out the attendance slip. Then she leads the girls in warm-up exercises. Next she may assist the teacher with demonstrations, officiate during a game, or perform some task connected with the sport being taught. At the end of the class, the leader sees that the equipment is in order, checks the showers, and makes sure that the locker room is tidy. Each Wednesday afternoon the group, twenty-five in number, meets with Miss Bemis for instruction which will prepare them for their duties in future gym classes. Adviser MISS DOROTHY B. BEMIS 130 Girls’ Athletic Association-Executive Board Girls Athletic Association, numbering about 200 members, is a club which strives to interest girls in participating in afterschool sports. G. A.
