CLASS HISTORY FRANCIS B SWEEZEY JR Class Historian Together we have seen our years at NFA draw to a close Progresslng slowly at first these years of days and days of years gained momentum as we watched them and soon they were gone but not forgotten Yes we reahzed the full meaning of that momentum when we had but a few months more to be at NFA as classmates Now we have graduated and are alumni and alumnae which dlsquallfies us from slttlng In and are we to receive a Red 81 Whlte subscrlptlon as students of the Academy nor to ever again take part m any of the countless things with which we have been familiar We can feel both sad and proud that we have left our Alma Mater sad In remembrances of happy years and proud that we can point out those remembrances ln truth we have not left for in our memories we are stall students ln those many familiar rooms lt seems lust yesterday when we as graduating classes of grammar schools came together for the first time to slt In strange rooms In strange surround mgs Who among us can truthfully say that he or she was not lust a little but confused durmg those first few days of September 19469 But we took It In stride gust as we learned to tolerate the Seniors We began to famlllarlze ourselves with not lust sur roundlngs but with the place which was to be our home for the next four years Yes we can remember only too vlvldly our first few days at NFA as we now try to keep all the memories of our last year Little dld we realize durmg that Junior year while we were oh so very carefully plugging away at our studies exactly how soon we would have to put our learning into practice During that year we could not be concerned with thinking about anythmg but the routine of the school day and the unceaslng barrage of homework which assalled us night after night Little did we know that this was the beginning of a foundation a foundation firmer than that we had already received In grammar school We enloyed the football games and the few dances we attended In Norton we enloyed llstenlng to our friends sound off about the new people they were meeting But what we llked most of all were the small things the everyday hap pemngs which we could associate with people and places These we will always remember These we will always call practical As we slt back reading this book now we realize how quickly that first year went by It seemed that we were no sooner Juniors than we were hearing about the end of the year actavltles of that year s Senior class They soon became alumni and we moved up another notch In our ladder of progress The second year was the one an which we were becoming more sure of ourselves That year we loaned organizations and took part more freely In sports Yes returning to school as lower mlddlers bolstered our morale To know there was a class below us whom we could heckle and call greasles ah that was something' Then as time progressed we really began to feel at ease with ourselves and our surroundings And where we formerly went down those wide halls speaking to lust a few per sons we now went through halls which felt closer friendlier That second year we were begmnmg to feel as though we belonged to the Academy Those winter months which were filled with basketball games and parties went by one by one and around the campus we were soon hearing those harblngers of sprung the seller of the seasonal baseball ticket and the Good humor man .

The team, with many holdovers from the previous year, plus a promis- ing, young, fast group scrimmaged relentlessly to meet the tough schedule which faced them, and, if possible, to realize that optimistic outlook. The Wildcat line was composed of experienced boys who can hold their own against any line. This fearsome fourteen included Ed Zdancewicz and Sam Kennerson, fast, descep- tive ends who can snag pigskins professional style, line ripping tackles in Clint Atterbury, John Tauro and Bob Chabot, Vito Papegello and John Cisco hold the guard posts firmly, and the tall, lanky Tom lzbicki in the center slot, masterly snapping the ball to the backfield, with Red Mulholland as a dependable reserve. The backfield shone out with varied abilities. Handling the quarterback chores expertly, were Pete Tedeshi, experienced letterman, and Bob Pirie, flashy ball carrier, the twins, Donald Scott and John Marshall, fast, greasy ball handlers had solid berths in the backfield along with Carl Jahn, Nick Pulhick, John Bowman, Rokowski and Pirie, thus, with this gallent array of lightning-like powerful backfield material, the Red and Whiters moved on towards the schedule. But, then, as the season wore on, it seemed as though a pessimistic cloud hovered over the Academy campus. And yet, through this cloud, little rays of sunlight found their way, suggesting the heads-up ball the 'Cats were playing, despite the difference in scores. Finally, this pessimistic cloud was suddenly driven away by the spectacular result of the final game of the season. In this contest the 'Cats showed that they had the stuff. Above, is a personified summary of the course the NFA '49 football team took. Perhaps it isn't too successful a course, but we of the Academy know that each of these boys in the familiar Red and White uniforms, played his heart out in each of the games, wether the score was in favor of the 'Acads or of the opponents. During the course of the season, our boys showed spectacular strategy and skill, even in the face of defeat, thereby showing that they were playing whole-heartedly. Here is the schedule: Saturday, Sept. 24, Windham - Away Saturday, Oct. 1, West Haven - Home Saturday, Oct. 15, Stonington - Home Saturday, Oct. 22, New Britain - Home Saturday, Nov. 5, Hartford Public - Home Friday, Nov. 12, Worcester Commerce - Home Saturday, Nov. 19, New London Bulkeley- Away And now, for the story of the N. F. A. Gridiron '49ers from the sidelines. N. F. A. 0 - Windham 19 Last year, the Norwich Free Academy had eked a six point victory over a stubborn Windham eleven, but this year, Tillie Dubose, speedy left halfback, was too much for the 'Cats as he himself marched for two touchdowns and set up the third with his shifty and elusive running. Norwich went out on the field hoping to record their first victory, but it was evident, early in the first period, that they were outclassed, for Dubose and the Windham team moved down the field on consecutive first downs and then from the fifteen, Tillie carried to the five and from there went over to score. A successful extra point kick made the score 7-0. ln the third quarter, it was Dubose again, when Har- greaves recovered a Norwich fumble on the Wildcat 36. Windham's Tillie scored in the next two plays. The con- version was missed. The third touchdown came when Cutko of Windham bucked over the line from the two after Dubose had piloted the ball deep down in Academy territory. Again, the extra point try failed and the score remained 19-O. Late in the final stanza, the Academy began to taste of Windham territory but the game ended with our boys on the opponents' 35 yard line. Don Scott, John Marshall, and Nick Puhlik played outstanding ball for the 'Cats on that day. It seemed in short, that the Wildcats were beaten by a fast left halfback. N. F. A. 0- West Haven 18 For the first home game of the season, the Academy played hosts to West Haven High School. After working persistently during the week to remedy their loss to Windham, the Wildcats played on even terms with West Haven for the first half. In fact, they played spectacularly flawless ball and they submitted not to the threats of the visitors. It was a new squad on the field, playing a new kind of football. But in the second half, the 'Cats began to give way, and then, West Haven came to good fortune on NFA's misfor- tunes. The visitors broke through late in the third period with a pass and several long, rushing gains bringing the ball to the Norwich twelve yard line, climaxing a long drive started at the West Haven 40. Then, West Haven's fullback, Lou Sharetto ran to the eight and then their end George Fletcher, playing remarkable football, scored the first TD, on an end- around play. It was here that the Wildcat defense fell and offense refused to click. Two more touchdowns by West Haven ended the contest with the score one point less than the previous week. In this game, Nick Puhlik, Tom Izbicki, and Bob Pirie played outstanding ball for the Academy. NFA lost that game but they displayed a tre- mendous improvement which was going to present itself against the other gridiron foes. N. F. A. 6 - Stonington 0 A newly inspired Wildcat eleven met Stonington High School in NFA's own back yard for the third contest of the season. The Wildcats remembered their first half against New Britain and the squad unanimously decided to do it again. Only this time, they went all the way. In the first quarter, the Acads opened up rather shakily as Stonington quickly took to the airways and threatened to score twice, but once the 'Cats got over the iitters, they took over, and moving fast on the ground, they set up the highway for a score, the only score of the game, the winning score. lt went something like this. After the 'Cats were able to get to the Stonington 'l5, they were stopped and surrendered the ball on downs. The Stonington Bears became desperate and tried to move, but on a third down, finding that they were making no headway, the visitors took to the air. Adams, a Stonington star, passed. It was intercepted by Tom lzbicki on the opponent's 35 yard stripe. After an unsuccessful play the 'Cats were penalized and found themselves on the Bears' 47. There was an exchange of punts and the Norwich Free Academy found itself, first and ten, on the Bears' 47 yard line! Two passes by Tedeshi to Kennerson and by Pirie to Zdancewicz, re- spectively, moved the ball to the Stonington 19. This time the Wildcats were determined not to submit, instead they were going to taste of a score. In three plays, crashing Pete Tedeshi tore over on a cleverly executed quarterback sneak. The extra point try by Zdancewicz failed, but victory was spelled in the air and on the gridiron. ln the third stanza both the Academy and the Bears rolled. Long gains were made but the end zones were never reached successfully, and although the fourth quarter was likewise full of fireworks, with the N. F. A. backfield running and passing like human meteors, the score remained 6-0. The 'Cats had registered their first victory and looked forward with more zeal than ever before. The entire Wildcat club played versatile ball and it seemed as if the Academy was a school of stars. Not to be forgotten in the contest the Academy line acted as a barrier and a battering ram when the time was called. Credit must also be given to the Stonington eleven for their boys showed keen, promising fooball prospects. N. F. A. O -New Britain 34 Two thousand shivering football fans watched the Acad- emy's dreams shattered at the hands of a powerful New Britain eleven. It was at this time, that the pessimistic cloud settled itself more firmly over the school. Literally, the New Britain team ran away with the contest from the very beginning, the entire backfield spearheading the victory. Pegolo and Petroka scored two touchdowns each and Magnoli scored the other. The Acads, despite the defeat, played their hearts out every minute of the game. They dug in and fought the best they could but it seemed that they were outplayed. The game was a rough one with ll pen- alties called on the visitors. Approximately three TDs were called back Three of the visitors touchdowns fol lowed in quick succession in the second cmd third quarters and in the fatal fourth New Britain added two more scores and so the game ended Izblcki starred for the Cats through his defensive alertness Let us say that the Academy lost a hard played game to a strong team At half time both school bands displayed musical and parading color N F A T9 Hartford Public 31 A downhearted NFA eleven came out on the field to meet the Blue and White of Hartford Public and the final verdict was a gloomy one Almost immediately after the game had begun Public moved fast and charged 76 yards to score the first touchdown Before the Cats could gather themselves after the first tally Hartford had scored again Hanley and Bergln All State hopefuls shone in this attack The second quarter saw them tally again but now some thing was happening Norwich was alive and on the move and Nick Puhlik scored an NFA touchdown charging over from the two after a series of long magnificent gains by Carl Jahn and Don Scott In the third quarter the fancy stepping Owls of Hartford scored another six points to make the score 24 6 Later when the Acads punted the oppon ents fumbled the ball on their own three and lzblcku of NFA recovered Then Gus Gustamachlo sneaked it over from his quarterback slot to register the second Norwich score On another fumble recovered on the foes ten by Norwich it was Gustamachio again who scored Hartford Public scored its last touchdown In the third frame Through out the whole contest two extra points were gained Both teams should be congratulated for their fine display and skill on the gridiron Papegallo Kennerson Izbickn Zdancewicz and Gustamachio should be singled out for their efforts in a losing cause Coach Williams Co captains Tom Izbickl Pete Tedeschi Sweatlng out the game on the sidelines N F A O Worcester Commerce T2 The last home game for the NFA was a slow dull one which the vlstors Worcester Commerce pulled out of the bag by a two touchdown advantage Both teams merely ran punted and ran again Pacing the contest for the Cats for part of the contest was Don Scott On the first play in the second quarter Worcester scored when OConnor bulled his way through the center of the line The con version failed Early In the fourth stanza the Commerce eleven tallied again after being given the ball on the NFA T8 A pass from Cox to Cherry was taken and the receiver ran on over the double stripe unhmdered The second conversion try failed ln the fourth quarter the Wildcats came up with an offensive spurt which drove them to the Worcester 3 from their own 27 yard line but It was here that the Commerce defense buckled down and halted the drive The Gold and Blue took over and held the ball :hq rest of the way Both schools In this game seemed rather lst ess N F A 34 Bulkeley T4 In this contest at Mercer field New London lust about everything happened mainly the vanishing of that pesslmls tic cloud lt was the eighty fifth meeting of the schools the two oldest schoolboy rivals in the country and it was Nor wlchs 50th conquest The Red and Whlters opened up fast when a Bulkeley punt resulted in a loss of six yards and the Acads proceeded to move scoring the first touchdown In the second quarter Norwich punted over the endzone stripes and Bulkeley took the ball on Its own twenty They were thrown back to the 3 and Instead of kicking Dick Morgan faded into the endzone for a pass and was dumped for a safety Suddenly the Tigers came to life and on a 50 yard pass from Morgan to McPhall they came down to the N A 3 Two plays later Brown went over from the one yard line and after the successful conversion Bulkeley trailed by one point It was then that several Wildcats hit the limelight Don Scott blocked a Morgan pass In mid air and Ed Zdan ew cz gathered the ball in the air and went all the way for the score a stunned baffled Bulkeley team looking on This wa considered the key play of the game The second half opened with the queerest but of strategy applied by Tiger coach Billy O Brien Outwardly provoked at the way his varsity squad was playing he sent in his gayvee team and the Cats blew the game wide open be fore the regulars could come in On the third play of the third period Don Scott that elusive back galloped 77 yards for a score Another quick Academy tally followed after some more doubtful strategy It went this way After two clipping penalties were inflicted upon the Bulkeley reserves they were placed back on the three yard marker where Instead of booting they passed Although the pass as complete Norwich took over on the Tigers 15 yard llne, and on the first play John Marshall squlrmed over for the second touchdown within five minutes Bulkeley scored its second touchdown when they took advantage of a bad punt from the Wildcats They drove relentlessly to the Norwich 9 where a pass from Thompson to Ballestrlnt n the endzone counted The Cats an Inspired team now drove on until Scott had scored again lt was his third tally of the day set up by a 54 yard drive This was NFA s second victory of the season but lt easily made up for their previous defeats Don Scott John Marsnall and Ed Zdancewlcz and the rest of the team played the best game of the year Each did his part In the great victory All played with the deadly precision that made It possible Duck Morgan was the standout for the losing eleven At the victory dance that night there was a pep rally in honor of the team which had brought home the traditional bacon The dashing backs and the bucking line had reason to feel proud Thus another football season ended A hearty hall IS heralded to a football squad that in our estimation dad a grand 'ob Scores dont count its what goes into these contests FRESHMAN FOOTBALL This years freshman team was characterized by being fast but small both In numbers and size of Individuals What they lacked IH size they made up for in enthustam and teamwork displayed They proved this by winning all of their games in competition with other schools and by win ning one of three played against the lumor varsity team In all teamwork whether that of our armed forces or tn competitive sports the teams effectiveness depends first upon the decisions made by their field general As quarter back Thomas McGrath proved this In timing hts quarter back sneaks quick kicks and passes to demorallze the opponent The choice of plays was augmented by the fine ball handling and passes of Martin Rutchuk the passing and excellent running of Ronald Baldgga the pass snarmg of Charles Pnenodz and Stephen Oslck and the rest of the team s blocking On the defense in the forward wall Plante Connors Krueger Oslk and Plenodz stopped the brunt of the opposing attack In the secondary Baldgga McGrath Rutchlk and Bresnan kept things under control Few teams function well for the entire game due to lnlurles and fatigue so the replacements or subs must be capable and numerous The former we could boast of but the quantity of available replacements was small We hope that as a lower mldcller team next year we ll be better In

F. A. 41 - Windham 51 Considered one of the better teams in the state, Windham handed N. F. A. its 10th loss of the season by the slim margin of 10 points. Plante, outstanding freshman performer, led the Wild- cats 12 points. The only time the 'Cats enioyed a lead was when Walt Wadia dropped in two free throws to open the game. Frank Cutko and Tillie Dubose were the main factors of the game as they paced the Whippets both on offense and defense. Game 16 6-10 N. F. A. 51 - Worcester 55 Playing a pepped-up ball game the Acads still came out on the short end of the score. Their fast break was useless as the Massachusetts referees had to handle the ball after each basket. Woicik put on ci fine offensive showing notching 26 tallies, many of them came by stealing the ball from the Worcester guards. Paul Grogan, Worcester's one-hand push-shot artist, was right behind Woicik with 23 tallies and with two fast field goals to break a 51-51 tie. Bob Dugas followed in the offensive column with 12 points. Game 17 6-11 N. F. A. 48 - Bulkeley 72 Building up an 11-O advantage in the first two minutes of play, the Bulkeley cagers went on to smother the Wildcats in a scrappy played ball game. The 'Cats never led but in the third period they cut Bulkeley's lead to 8 points, the score being 40-32. The Bulkeley height along with their zone defense proved to be the major factors of the game. Art Quimby, tall, slim center, led the Tiger attack with 20 points while Banm, another 6 footer, hit for 12. Dugas led the Acads offensively with 14 tallies followed closely by Scott who notched 10. Game 18 6-12 N. F. A. 35 - Hartford Public 47 Woefully weak on defense and off very much on its shooting, the Acads dropped its 13th game of the season. The 'Cats gained its first edge when Walt Wadia dropped in two field goals near the close of the first half. Early in the last stanza, the 'Cats staged a brief spurt, but the Owls again began to click to put the game away. Outstanding for the 'Cats were Plante with 14 points and Wadia with 8. Game 19 7-12 N. F. A. 66 - Chapman Tech 47 The 'Cats didn't let Tech off the unbeaten road as they handed them their 14th consecutive setback 66-47. The Wildcats ran away with the game in the third period by staging a 17 point splurge. Credit was given to Plante 14, Smith 11, both lower classmen and Wadia who notched 10 points. Devlin led the Tech men as he tallied for 15 points for high man for the game. Game 20 7-13 N. F. A. 31- Windham 60 Giving Windham a great fight for better than two periods at Norton Gym, Windham finally broke loose to hand the 'Cats CI 60-31 loss, its 13th of the season. Joe Woicik led the 'Cats with 15 points. This was the final game of the season, and three men-Joe Woicik, Walt Wadia, and Bob Dugas - played their last game for the Wildcats, for they are Seniors. The first half was one of the best staged at Norton Gym this year. Y!

BASEBALL - Wildcat baseball fortunes continued on a high plane this season, as, riding mainly on the strong right hand of ace pitcher Dick Grabowski and the timely hitting and all-around play of Jerry McKeon and Bob Dugas, the Acads rolled up a record of eleven victories and six defeats, three of their wins coming over college freshman teams. The Kelly-men came through right from the beginning, faltering just once when they dropped a doubleheader to Bulkeley. Aside from this, the games lost were heartbreakers and could just as easily have gone the other way. NFA's coaches, Bill Kelly and Arnold Redgrave, should come in for their well-deserved share of the applause, as they did a magnificent iob in welding the different players into a smoothly functioning machine. NFA 10 - New London Junior College 0 The Wildcats launched their 1950 season against New London Junior College, and came out on the winning end of a 10 to 0 score. Four NFA hurlers held the college men to one hit over the nine innings while the Acads collected ten hits off three New London pitchers. Jerry Murphy, Walt Seder, Dick Grabowski, and Bart Cody combined to pitch near perfect ball, but the possibilities ofa no-hitter vanished in the seventh when Jim Giordano crashed a single off Grabowski. Bob Burdick and Vin Hoagland each had two hits to spark the Red and White to victory. Tom Sienkowski of NFA banged out the only extra base hit of the contest, a double. Jerry Murphy, the Wildcats starter, was given credit for the victory. VARSITY NFA 10 - Norwich Technical School O NFA had its second 10 to O victory in as many starts at the Recreation Field, defeating Norwich Tech by that score. Dick Grabowski pitched the first eight innings and allowed only five hits. In the ninth he gave way to John Kopetz, who preserved the shut-out. The game was actually over in the first inning as, paced by Hoagland's triple to right, the Acads scored twice. The Wildcats kept pecking away at two Tech hurlers and ended up with their final total of ten runs, scoring in six of the innings. Tech threatened in two stanzas, but Grabowski bore down in the clutches to get out of them unscored upon. NFA garnered thirteen hits, two each by Hoagland, Gud- hean, and McKeon. Kozel got two of Tech's five hits. Worcester Commerce 3 - NFA 1 Worcester Commerce handed the Academy baseball team its first loss of the season at the Recreation Field, coming through with a 3 to 1 victory behind the five hit pitching of Larry Warpula. It was the first game of the season for Worcester. Commerce grabbed the lead in the second inning by scoring once, and put the game on ice by counting again in the fourth and ninth. The Academy got their only run in the fifth when Wadia doubled to right, advanced on a single, and scored on a double steal. Warpula was tough in the clutch and as a result held the edge over Dick Grabowski in this tight pitching duel. The former struck out five, while the Wildcat hurler was whnffing twelve Johnny Amato was the bug gun for Worcester and Wadla paced the Acads with two huts NFA 'I6 Wesleyan Freshmen 4 Duck Grabowskn struck out sixteen batters as the Wildcat baseballers trounced the Wesleyan Frosh 16 to 4 at Wesleyan for their third wln In four starts The ace rlghthander pitched sux scoreless Innings and gave up nme blngles while issuing only one walk The Acads started off strong and led at one time ln the game by 8 to 0 They continued to hlt four Wesleyan pitchers freely and wound up on top of their older opponents While Grabowskl was stopping Wesleyan Lefty McKeon and Bob Dugas paced the Kelly men McKeon got three hits and knocked In a run and Dugas collected two huts and four RBI Grabowskl banged out two huts In his own cause NFA 9 UConn Freshmen 5 With three runs already across in the nmth inning Duck Grabowskl relieved Jerry Murphy and proceeded to get three batters on strikes to enable the Wlldcats to gain thelr fourth wln In five starts by a 9 to 5 score at the University Fle d Chet Lukasewlcz a former NFA pitcher started against his old mates and was shelled from the box in the seventh when the Acads scored four times Job was the first ltcher Murphy who In turn gave way to Grabowsku an the nmth Features of the NFA attack were a two run homer by Lefty McKeon in the seventh a perfect day at the plate for Lou Plante who went three for three and two singles by Bobby Dugas which drove In four runs New London Bulkeley 6 NFA 1 New London Bulkeley 7 NFA 5 Bulkeley handed NFA two crushmg defeats at Mercer Field sweeping the doubleheader 6 to I and 7 to 5 Tiger pitching captured the spotlight as the hard hitting Wildcats were held to a total of eight huts In both games The two losses gave the Acads a four and three record on the season Jerry Cotnolr went all the way for Bulkeley In the opener and gave up only three scattered huts Bulkeley got oFf to a fast start and scored five runs off Bart Cody In the first three mmngs Dick Grabowskl entered the game nn the fourth and pitched creditable ball the rest of the way lust tossmg a home run ball to Bob Eldridge In the seventh NFA scored its lone run ln the second inning as Bob Dugas doubled to left field and moved to third on Deo Dugass single Bob was picked oFf at the plate but Deo scored on a play at first base In the mghtcap Bulkeley touched three Academy hurlers for nme huts while Joe Campagna and Fitzpatrick held the Wildcats to five huts In winning 7 to 5 In an exciting contest Norwich on the short end of a 2 to 0 score came from behind In the fourth inning to score three runs featured by McKeon s single and Deo Dugas s double But Julius Job Bob Dugas who was charged with the loss and Jerry Murphy couldnt hold the lead as Bulkeley came back to get four In the fifth Batting stars of the day for Bulkeley were Ballestrmu who got four hits In the twin bull and Glynn who led the way with a brace of singles In the mghtcap For Norwich McKeon was the only bright spot collecting three huts In the two games NFA 3 Admiral Bullard 0 Scoring three runs on two huts in the sixth inning the Academy baseballers turned back Admiral Bullard of New London In a game played at the Recreation Field It was the fifth wan an eight games for the Acads After five scoreless mmngs the Wildcats finally broke the ice with Ted Grabowy smglmg to left Bob Burdick walking and McKeon scoring Grabowy on a lane single Burdick scored on a fielders choice and McKeon counted on a ground out Pete Quercna Blll Fember and John Kopetz did the twlrllng for the Red and White and limited Bullard to five huts Kelly hurled a four hitter for the future admlrals an a losing cause Teddy Grabowy garnered two huts to lead the Acads while Vehrenkamp paced Bullard with the same num ber of bmgles NFA 5 New Britain O NFA 7 New Britain 6 The Wildcats scored a double victory over New Britain in a twin bill played at the loser s field rallying for three runs In the top of the seventh of the second game to cop It 7 to 6 after Dick Grabowskl had shut the New Brntalners out ln the first game 5 to O twlrlmg a neat four hitter NFA started off with a bang In the first game scoring two runs in the first inning McKeon leading the way with a long triple In the sixth McKeon again started things rolling smglmg m front of Deo Dugas who then blasted a 375 foot homer over the left field fence The final run was scored ln the seventh as Ruffo walked stole second and scored on Bob Dugas s single to left Grabowskl pitched one of has best games of the season strlkmg out fifteen and scattering the four huts so that he was never ln any sort of trouble MTE sg I . .

The l95O edition of the Academy track team brought home another successful record to take its place in the annals of Wildcat athletics. OFF to a slow start, the Red and Whiters gradually rounded into form and, paced by Captain Buddy Mackowicki, versatile Tom lzbicki and Andy Weady, finished up the season with a five and two record in dual and triangular competition and qualified five men for the CIAC meet. Much credit for team's fine showing should go to Coaches Goldberg and Turcotte who outdid themselves in producing a winning group despite the lock of depth and experience which prevailed at the start of the season. Connecticut Relays ln the first competition of the season held at Storrs, the Academy relay teams brought forth the only rays of light for the NFAites, the two-mile relay team finishing second behind Hartford Weaver, and the mile relay combina- tion fashioning a third. ln the field events, the Wildcats fell off badly from their lofty position of the previous year, managing to garner just a fourth in the discus by Andy Weady and o fifth in the broad iump by Ray Beebe. No team scores were announced. Hartford Weaver 62V2 - NFA 33'A - Hartford Public 32 The Wildcat track team finished second in a triangular meet which took place in Hartford, just edging out Hartford Public by lV2 points and falling far behind Weaver which racked up 62V2 points. Harry Preston and Andy Weady were the only Norwich trackmen to take firsts, as Preston won the 880-yard run in 2:O9.6 and Weady won the discus with a heave of ll5 feet, 4 inches. Weady also took thirds in the shot put and the iavelin. Wesleyan Freshmen 78V2 - NFA 34V2 Taking nine out of thirteen first places, the Wesleyan Frosh went on to smash the Acads 78V2 to 34W The only Red and White runners to take firsts were Marshall in the 220, Preston in the 880, and Mackowicki in the mile. The Norwich team of Kennerson, Globus, lzbicki, and Marshall won the relay, as prospects for a successful season grew darker. NFA 7OV2 - New London Bulkeley 28V2 With Tom lzbicki leading the way with 15 points, the Academy team trounced New London Bulkeley in a meet run off at the former's campus. lt was the first victory in dual competition for the Acads. lzbicki took first places in the iavelin and shot put events and finished in a first place tie with Marshall in the 220-yard dash. Kelly of Bulkeley was a double winner, easily outdistancing the field in win- ning the mile in 4:36 and the 880 in 2:08. NFA 55V2 - Worcester Classical l6V2 - Commerce T6 Continually improving, the Goldberg-men, in a meet held on Worcester ground, defeated Classical and Commerce High Schools of that city by wide margins. Aside from the dashes which Masiello of Classical took, it was strictly no competition as the Wildcats took firsts in the remaining events, with lzbicki again leading the way with 'I2 points. Captain Mackowicki chipped in with lO points, capturing both the mile and 880-yard runs. NFA 77V2 - New Britain 26VQ The Academy track team registered its third straight victory, soundly trouncing New Britain High.

handed over to the educators and the mind is supposed to expand sometimes it does but the marvel is so many minds remain so small Sometimes the fault is with the ones who do the educating Sometimes the fault is with the ones who seek the education There are only two kinds of schools one where they educate the other where they instruct Instruct means to put ideas In your head as you might fill a

which of course includes your mind and will your character your heart No system of education is any good at all unless it brings your mind in closer contact with your surroundings and the closer is this contact the better is your education and the broader are your surroundings the more thorough is your education and the better and more thorough is your educa tion the fuller is your life the keener is your toy of being alive the happier is your life on earth If you can call a plant by name If you can tell the history of your land if you can tell a cause by its effect If you can keep a golf ball straight then new worlds are opened up before you You are in contcat with your surroundings You are in a certain sense an educated person Education of this kind has its limits but it is only the limits of your surroundings You are a thoroughly educated person if your education ha brought -,ou in close touch with everything in this world and every thing in the next but no man however well stocked be his mind with facts can be said to be truly educated unless he has been carried out beyond the limits of this world out beyond the things you see to the things you cannot see out beyond
