LX Q THE BEACON 17 CLASS HISTORY FRESHMAN YEAR 'Twas a lovely fall morn, that September 8, 1939, the birds were singing, the trees and the grass were green and so were we! We entered the portals of P. H. S. a bit bewildered but determined to make the next four years the most worthwhile and the happiest of our life. We got through the day with the kind help of the upper classmen fthe freshmen girls by this time having checked up on the male seniorsj and were also delighted to see that Miss Betty Sullivan Mrs. Kegelj had been transferred with us. Under the able assistance of Miss McGrail we formulated plans for the coming year. Our first class meeting was held in the auditorium on the fifteenth of September, when we elected class officers. Those who held office the first year were: President, Paul jones, who is now serving in the Merchant Marine, Vice President, Nancy Hibbard, Secretary, Anthony Forcellag Treasurer, jane Rasely. During the year we took dancing lessons under the guidance of Miss Neilan, Miss Howard QMrs. Carlson, and Miss McGrail. After we had become accomplished dancers we enjoyed several parties, at which Freddie Berardino, Bill DiYulio and Tony Forcella amazed us with their terpsichorean abilities. Perhaps some of our most pleasant memories are of the afternoons we spent in Miss Neilan's room listening to her advice to Freshmen. As our Freshmen year drew to a close we found ourselves firmly inculcated in the student body. SOPHOMORE YEAR Alas! Summer over we wended our way back to school for our Sophomore year. The very first thing which we noticed was a tiny girl with reddish brown hair and freckles. We soon learned that she was a visitor from England and would be with us for the duration of the war. Elma, oh excuse me, I've neglected that her name was Elma Walker. As usual the first thing we did was to launch a new set of officers who were prepared to make our Sophomore year most successful fand didj. They were as follows: President, Bill Goodwin, Vice President, Eleanor Goodwin, Secretary, jane Raselyg Treasurer, Augie Lepore. Augie made our class a financial success. The first big event of the year, which most of us attended, was the BristolfPlainville basketball game. The student body cheered until hoarse but the strong Bristol team won with the heartbreaking score of 21f19. It seems that the boys of our class began at an early age to make history in the world of sports. Blackie took honors with javelin and pole vaulting and Dick Hill, ace sophomore, scored 2244 points to set a new individual score. During the year we held several cake sales and several very successful parties under the leader' ship of our class adviser, Miss Kennedy. What! June had arrived already? It didn't seem possible but in the middle of june we again took leave of school - this time with the thoughts of resting in preparation for our junior Year and those long awaited privileges. 18 THE BEACON JUNIOR YEAR Rain, Rain, go away come again some other day - this was the way we started our Junior year. We arrived soaking wet with the exception of our spirits. These were never dampened. The first thing accomplished was the ordering of our class rings which gave our class adviser, Miss Lurie, many headaches. At our first class meeting falways the first activity on our programj we elected Bill Goodwin, Presidentg Jane Rasely, Vice Presidentg Elma Walker, Secretaryg Augie Lepore, Treasurer. At this time we chose all of the committees for the Prom. Yes, at last the year had arrived when we were to rise and shine. The theme for the prom was designed by Gordon Mannix and proved to be the most beautiful decorations ever seen at P. H. S. April 10th, the long awaited night had arrived and couples found themselves in an Italian vine' yard filled with huge bunches of grapes adorned by silver leaves and soft lights. Smooth music flowed from the instruments of that super band of Charlie Ryan. During intermission a queen was chosen by the patrons and patronesses. The lovely queen was Jane Rasely. What with the prom such a huge success both socially and financially we celebrated with a party. Up to this point we have neglected to mention the entrance of our country into the second world war. This was destined to change our whole lives. I'm sure one could never call us slackers for we have helped at the observation post, at the report center and on various rationing com' mittees. Many of us did our part by working in defense industries during the summer months. We strive on never to falter. SENIOR YEAR At last we have attained the height of our ambitions and stand together 87 strong on the threshold of our Senior year. Being seniors we decided to do things up with a bang, the first thing we did at our class meeting was to elect a new slate of officers. This time the male of the species held all of the offices: President, Bill Goodwing Vice President, Henry Turcig Secretary, Fred Hoerleg Treasurer, Bob Munson. We chose all of the committees for our year book The Beacon . These included class night and the Senior Ball. The boys being in a very generous spirit by now decided that they would manage the annual hot dog roast. They did an excellent job, considering that they had had no previous culinary experience. Shortly thereafter the girls entertained their sophomore sisters at tea. Each sophomore girl was presented with a corsage, all of which made them very happy. Before we knew it Christmas was upon us, and once again we found ourselves celebrating by having a scavenger hunt and dance. Ernie Crapser did the honors as Santa Claus and was practically mobbed in the rush for gifts. The most memorable event of the year was the winning of the Class B Basketball Champion' ship. This was the first time that such an athletic honor had come to Plainville High School. It seems as though our class was always eating. Saint Patricks day found us giving a spaghetti supper and dance. Despite rationing and all of the other inconveniences the menu was excellent. All of this time the fellows have been getting their draft papers fand worryingl. Several under' THE BEACON 19 AAlVv classmen have left to join the armed forces and practically all the senior boys have taken exams for various branches of the service. Speaking of examinations reminds us that we are the first senior class in recent years to take final examinations - exams in every subject, ftwo and one half hoursj. While on the subject of scholarship we'd like to mention that Gordon Mannix won the National Scholastic Scholarship for general high school art. The tables were turned and for a day the Seniors ran the school! fNow we know what it's all about., June 18th found us tripping the light fantastic at our last class formal. The happy event was the Senior Ball, the decorations were designed by our class artist Gordon Mannix. The theme of the ball was that of The Gay Nineties . Amid gaiety we gathered together many pleasant memories to help us in the dark days ahead. . Serious once again, Baccalaureate services Sunday evening, June 20, made us realize more denn- itely that school days for most of us were nearly over. The inspiring service gave us many bits of advice which in future years may be the foundaticn of peace. Monday, june 21, we are gathered together for our last festivities before graduation. We notice as we hover around the banquet tables, laden with food that the place cards are in the form of ration books. As the evening progresses we are entertained by talented members of our class. Now we think that it is altogether fitting and proper to thank Miss Carline Sparhawk, our class adviser, for her never ending patience, and her graciousness throughout our Senior year. Our School Days will be over tomorrow night when we graduate 87 strong from Plainville High School, and embark upon life's troubled waters.

Cooke 24 THE BEACON CLASS PROPHECY Our foundation to the lighthouse was started back in our Freshman year. We've worked hard laying its foundation and working up, until today we're at the very top. The light from its great beacon shines forth over all the land. This great light is even powerful enough so that it can see into the future years. This is the story that it tells: Walking up Broadway one sees in lights Edward Lawrence presenting 'The Great Drama of l953 '! Eddie is a great producer and director of plays. Among the other great productions is Murder at Midnight in which the great actor Frederick Johnson plays the hero, as always. He was trained by Florence Broden, to whom a very good friend of the family left a school which she has turned into a dramatic school. Miss Broden has become a famous instructor in the Held of drama. Herman Keller is taking lessons from Rubinoff and in the near future the critics expect he will make his debut at Carnegie Hall. Rose Marchetti is also going to make her debut at Carnegie Hall. Handsome actor Robert Munson is cofstarring with her. He is single, but pursued by many theater New Yorkers go to Tony Forcella's Blue Night Club. Many women go for dark hair. Ethel Carlson is the head hostess and has many suitors. Seated at the table orchestra is the great socialite Doris Hadfield who is always going from one party to another a different admirer every night. She is listening to John Anderson who is a whistling entertainer with a group of cowboys who are similar to Pappy Howard's. The orchestra is playing and the great dancer, Ernest Crapser, is out on the floor. He is to New York what Caesar Romero was to Hollywood. Robert Carroll fthe roving Romeo, is seated in the corner, and has broken the hearts of many young girls. Ann Mahony, the greatest waitress in her profession is bringing the water glasses. In the early morning we walk along a side street and come to one of Robert Aube's novelty shops. ingenious for his slot machines which Adrian Antonelle, still a bachelor, is earn- estly repairing. Up over the shop is the office of Howard Blackston who has established a large agency in which he has acquired great renown by catching one of the most des' perate of all time. Estelle Orvis is a secretary to a very tall, handsome man who writes mysf tery he isn't out on a case. Up the street a little ways is Bertha Delany's bookstore, where you can find the most unusual books. She is having George Rapacky, who is a designer of furniture a'nd very unique in his field, make her new furniture for her ultrafmodern shop. Our beacon now shines over the Newark airport. There is a plane now that is about to take off. Irma Trevison's husband is the pilot and Irma spends most of her time worrying until she knows that his plane has landed safely. Glennis Stenner, the hostess, is checking on the passengers. There is a pilot on the New York to London run who would like to change her job soon. Norma Bradley's husband is a foreign correspondent and his work takes them to many places. Josephine D'Addese, now a linquist and roamer, takes her place in the plane. Ruth Gustafson is another passenger, who, to all outward appearances, leads a quiet, contented life, but there are a few secret family escapades. Rosemary Sylvester, a portrait painter is on her way south to do a portrait of a Mexican rebel. The plane is off and we're leaving the hustle and bustle of the city and headed for the tranquillity of the country. Below us are many farms. Carmen Alvarez lives on the nicest one, which she bought when she inherited a fortune. Walter Carlson, who is walking up by her farm, leads a hitforfmiss sort of lifeg in spite of that he will lead a happy, contented life with few worries. As we near Washington, we can't help think of Bill Goodwin who is the first president to hold office under the new age limit. He has had a lot of experience, as he was president of his class for three years. Chet Pasniewski, a congressman from Connecticut, as you can imagine, fights for our rights. Problems of democracy has helped him a lot. Fred White is in Washington: he is devoted to his church and is spending his life doing all he can to help others. He has made friends who think a great deal of him. He calls Mary Otero, a social worker, on the telephone. Dorothy Kloss is the A,-vAvAv1-,Av1N,gA,A,4x1xAfyAv4v'vAv4xAzvs+vAvAv'N'AvAv4fxAAAf-'AvAvAvA- THE BEACON 25 chatty telephone operator who makes the connection. Mary is doing things for the unfortunate people in Hartford. Here our light shines on Beatrice MacQuarrie.She is governor of Connecticut and is doing a great job, for this is her second term. Marian Kochanski is a registered nurse, trained at Hartford hospital. Most of her training is practiced on her two blonde children. Eleanor Seeds is a dietician in the same hospital, and is pursued by so many goodflooking doctors that she hasn't been able to decide on anyone as yet. Also working there as a dietician, is our brilliant Kathryn Mason. She is very quiet and gets along with everyone. Lillian Hallinan is in the city for the day, from a dairy farm where she lives. The neighbors look upon them as the typical married couple. Marie Bona, married soon after leaving high school, now resides in West Hartford, where she is bringing up six happy, healthy girls. She is shopping at Amelia Pagliarulo's exclusive shop, where jean Garrity, the glamorous model, displays the gowns, the chapeaux, which the clever assistant Grace Limeburner persuades her cusf tomers to buy. Marie sends her children to Florence Button's very progressive nursery school. In the rush hour we see many girls who work in offices. One of these is Shirley Hird. She is still very quiet as she always was. jenny Sylvester is also very fond of office work, in fact, she can't quite make up her mind to give it up, even though there is a very goodflooking man trying to per' suade her to. Henry Turci is entering the Robert Olson manufacturing concern. Henry is a draftsman and is working for the government making new bridges throughout the state. Robert Ulson is a prosper' ous executive in his concern, but manages to spend his winters in Florida with his very cute, blonde wife. Henry was assisted by Frederick Hoerle, who helped construct the Hale Bridge in Hartford. Fred is very happily married to a wonderful woman. Joe Dulac is working in Hartford as he is a great airplane designer and builder. His hobby is photography. Norman Peltzer is running a plumb' ing store, but manages to go to two or three dances every week. His assistant is Shirley Barclay's husband. He spends his days fixing kitchen sinks while Shirley rests up for her nights of dancing. The beacon shows us that many have chosen to remain in Plainville. Marcus Petit is a professor of science. His pupils shudder before entering his class as he is noted for his tough quizzes. George Newell is professor of geometry in good old P. H. S. Here we also find Paul Mastrianni as a shop teacher. ., Mary Ventrelli's husband runs a grocery store. She does a lot of the work in the store. Millie Walker can be seen going by on sunny days. She pushes a baby carriage which has twins in it and she loves doing it. Shirley Warren is running a tea room on Farmington Avenue. She also is a col- lector of antiques. It looks as though this is the only thing that she is interested in. Lea Fox has married at an early age. She lives in Plainville and her cookies and cakes make a hit at the many church socials, teas, and the meetings of the women's organization to which she belongs. Charles Weldon lives in town but works in New Britain. He is an electrical engineer and is employed by the government. He is married to a Plainville girl. Jean Williamson lives in a cute little house which has a white picket fence. She is married to a former sailor. Brooks White is a chemical engineer and is doing big things. He is married to a tall, darkfhaired woman. Margaret Pausch is happily married and lives in ra white house which has a garden of roses minus thorns. She seems to like the quiet type of life. john Doinik has designed many prefabricated houses. In his spare time he plays his fiddle at square dances. Augie Lepore works in the plating room at Trumbull's. Billy Nelson is editor of the love'lorn column, News While it's Hot . This is the only newspaper in Plainville. The longest beam of our beacon extends towards the west. Out there in the wide open spaces we Hnd Nancy Hibbard, who is the owner of a great stable in which she raises horses. She has a riding school where she teaches in person. Ruth Sweig comes into Nancy's stables quite often to visit. She does a lot of horseback riding with a certain rancher. She is, however, an English teacher in high school. Eddie Thomas is settled on a large farm raising chickens. He is married to a very nice, dark-haired girl. The light shines farther and we find Trinidad Asensio who is married to a dark-haired man with whom she settled down on the west coast. They live a happy, contented life with two small AvAvAvAvAv4vAvAvAvAvAvAvAvAAAvAvAvAvAvAvAvAvSAl'vAvQNlNQAvAvAvAwlNlNfNlNv 26 THE BEACON children and their inflaws. One of her neighbors is the happy housewife, Arline Main, who is kept busy with her two children. Mickey Cavalier is also out west. He has written a great literary essay on the art of fishing, which has run strong competition with and finally become as great as Isaac Waltcn's Complete Angler . He has just sold the script to a producer and a short movie is to be made of it soon. Bertha Chamberlin is in Hollywood. It seems there is a tall blonde life'guard who has an interest in her affairs. Bert, however, is not interested in men. She is to make her debut in movies soon. Jane Snyder is a very efficient secretary to one of the prominent producers. Eddie Cooke has led some fast, happy, bachelor days but surprisingly enough has settled down to a happy, quiet, homelife with the girl of his dreams. Jane Rasely is a very attractive minister's wife and is a great help to him in his profession. They live in Los Angeles. Marian Sanders is an excellent hairdresser and is running her own establish' ment. Mildred Schaffer goes to her salon. Mildred is tap dancing her way to fame, and is also a very good mother to her little boy whom she has adopted. Our beacon now shines on the sports world, and we find our famous and wellfknown sports' writer, Arthur Martin. In his Everyday Column we Hnd Mary Nevelos, lady bowling champion of Connecticut. Fred Neuhausscr, the heavyweight champion wrestler, is now at Madison Square Garden. Dick Hill is a great marathon runner, who has made the town of Plainville very proud. Bill DiYulio is equally as famous in the basketball Held. In private life he is married to a cute blonde. As the beacon goes yonder, we see a ladies' gathering at Faith Maynard's home. She has finally captured her colonel and is happily married. Sitting there sewing and gossiping, we also find Evelyn Gesner, our lovely blonde, who is now contented with being a housewife in the country. The main topic of their conversation is Gordon Mannix, the excellent artist, who has attained many honors and awards for his work. Our farthest beacon ray shines toward England. This is where Elma Walker is in her beloved homeland. She is married to a former R. A. F. pilot. It is noted that each of her two children have that same twinkle in their eyes. Lawrence McLellan is in farfoff Russia, where he is working on lendflease business. The beacon light slowly fades away leaving us content that '43 is doing its bit in the world.
