Our Pilot, Peter Bordes, and Co-pilot, Milton Pellett, warned us all to be on time. The Navigator, Ann Bradley, saw to it that all was well, and 'the Steward- ess, Barbara Porter, had just come forward for a few last minute instructions. Our plane, a B-41, was to take off from Roger Ludlowe Field - our destination Success Airport. The crew assembled for a few final words from the airport supervisor, Miss Eleanor Foley, who wanted everything to go off as planned. Iust before the take-off, we were given a handbook of by-laws to abide by on this eventful trip. Opening my copy, the first sentence I saw was the school motto, What I am to be, I am now becoming. It was unanimously agreed among all present that there would be any all-out effort to work and live up to this age-old adage. After being well underway, a party was given. Iohn Ganley was chairman of the af- fair, and we were highly entertained in magic by a fellow passenger, Mr. Morrow. Dur- ing one of the local stops, a banquet for the girls was given to better acquaint all female passengers. Unable to take off because of necessary repair work, we were somewhat startled if not totally shocked to learn of the tragic events at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, but proud of President Roosevelt's de- fying step in the declaration of war, Decem- ber 8, 1941. A ban was immediately placed on wartime travel, and a priority had to be secured t.o continue on our journey. As the repairs to our ship would take a long time, we were transferred to a B-42 in order to finish the next lap of our journey before the summer weather grounded us. Our travel was resumed again in Septem- ber with a B-43. We recognized this to be the plane we had abandoned for repairs. Its con- veniences being modernized, it was given a new title B-43. This time, however, activities of the passengers were curtailed and the girls' banquet and party could not be given. Our crew remained the same, and we felt secure as we had already become well ac- quainted with them. Since every passenger had now become quite war-minded, it was their intent more than ever to work for the two goals upper- most in their hearts - victory and success. A brief stopover was given to relieve tension and strain on all passengers. After a summer's rest we again boarded a plane, this time a B-44 which turned out to be a more highly developed plane than the previous one, in order to continue our jour- ney. This time our crew was made up of Pilot, Charles O'Connor: Co-pilot, Robert Sadowski: Navigator, Peggy Walton: Steward- ess, Barbara Porter, with Miss Nell Garofalo, airport supervisor. During the trip the girls busied themselves selling stickers and pencils in order to finance our next year's trip. After a short time, Charles was transferred to another plane and Robert Sadowski took over the controls. A D. A. R. Essay Contest was also entered by the passengers to pass the time. The successful authors were William CLASS HISTORY CC0llfflZll8dD Baird, Vivian Carroll, and Bernard Lee. Along the route we stopped at several places to at- tend the following social activities: the Girls' Banquet - the lunior Girls versus Women Faculty Basketball Cwe lostj - the Komian Play Cafter which several members of our class were selected for ThespiansD - and finally Iunior Prom which again had become formal. ' During one of our stops we bade farewell to Iames Marshall and Charles Rotolo who were leaving for the service and would not continue with us on our journey. Back on board we found that several juniors had been selected for the National Honor Society. Alex Skultety had been chosen football captain for the following year, and the girls were practicing for the Daisy Chain. Before say- ing goodbye for another summer, we chose our Senior Council members. The following fall we again met, very proud that this year we were to continue to our goal on a reconverted B-45 Superfortress. We were indeed coming up in the world. Our pilot this year was Edward Lobdell, Co-pilot, Pat Parma, Navigator, Iosephine Sliney, and Stewardess, Marge McNamara and Miss Garofalo, Airport Supervisor. Immediately many of the passengers joined first-aid classes while others continued selling roster cases, pennants and pencils. Class pictures were also taken and the idea that we were near- ing Success Airport was keenly felt by every- one. Our first social event of the year was the Senior Council 'Dance followed by the Hallo- ween Dance. Meanwhile our year was turning out to be a very successful one from the sports angle. The football team had an undefeated season. The All Sports Banquet and Football Hop were held in December. The Basketball team played in the New England Tournament in the spring. A Numerous students had the opportunity to be X-rayed for tuberculosis. More of our mem- bers were selected for the National Honor Society. In February, after much work and effort, the Commercial club issued an inter- esting edition of Commercialite which had not been published for a number of years. Soon after this we were in the midst of Class Day preparations and we realized that our plane was circling Success Airport. Amid the preparations for our landing we could not help sensing keenly the absence of those boys who had left us to join the services of Uncle Sam. As we finally received our admittance cards to Success Airport and walked down the run- way, we were obliged to admit that true to our motto, What I am to be I am now becom- ing, had truly materialized in each of our passengers.

The National Athletic Society of Secondary Schools is an honorary society famous throughout the United States. This National organization was organized in 1925 in Washington, D. C. by Lyman K. Davis. The follow- ing is a list of the association officers from 1925 until 1945: First president ....................................... Lyman K. Davis, Washington, D. C. Second president ........... .......... P . L. Larson, Little Rock, Arkansas Third president ....... .......... H . A. Swaiiield, Mt. Pelier, Vermont Fourth president ..................................................... - ..... B. C. Ligthe, North Dakota Of these, H. A. Swafiield, principal of the Roger Ludlowe High School, in Fairfield still remains on the executive board. To become a proud member of this organization, a boy during his high school career must earn a varsity letter in one of the major or minor sports. He must maintain for at least three consecutive semesters an average in grades equal to or higher than the general average of the school. In addition, he must exhibit, a high type of citizenship and sportsmanship. Coaches of schools decide on those eligible for membership. To become a member of the National Athletic Scholarship Society is an honor to any young American boy. 16 RUSSELL F. ADAMS Russ He's very quiet, we all agree. Course: Industrial Arts.

Woe is us, as a matter of fact! Otis is gone. Poor Otis! But what could I do? The Time Chair is the usual medium for prophecies and somebody had to test ours. Was it my fault that it was attached to the electric light switch? Was it my fault that Otis couldn't ju ' ?e'But still the problem of writing the prophecy stared me in the face. I stared back. l've got it! Why not consult the Great Swami, Abdul Svenson? After a tedious journey I found myself in the awe-inspiring room of Abdul. A cold, damp, clammy feeling suddenly came over me. I took off my raincoat. Drawing up the only unoccupied object in the room upon which to sit, which happened to be a long, black 6' by 3' box, I sat down! To amuse myself, I started to read the signs on the walls, Taurus, Leo, Cancer, Capricorn They were'all there. In 'the far corner, in fine Gothic print, was the sign, This building condemned by the Board of Health. Suddenly a gong sounded, followed by the pitter-patter of my teeth on the floor. From between purple, star-studded draperies, stepped the Swami, a turban wrapped around his head, a glowing crystal ball in his hand. He placed the ball gently on a table and motioned me to take the place op- posite him. . Gazing into the crystal ball, he muttered the magic words, Huba-Huba. A small, glowing object gleamed from the black depths of the ball. It became larger, larger, and larger. The gleam was brighter, brighter, and still brighter unt1'l'it' was blinding. Blinking ,I looked at it again and then recognizedt- Mr. SwaIfie1d's Head! F It was they decennial event when Mr. Swaffield attempted- to organize the chaotic conglomeration of papers, books, bottles, pen- cils, calenders, Varga girls, and loose hairs that had accumulated in his desk during the past decade. Lifting objects at random, he discovered he was holding an old copy of a year book. Frorn appearance, one would be- lieve it to be from the year one, but upon closer examination, he discovered it was the last remaining concrete relic of the Class of 1945. ,His thoughts turned to the present. Heavens! What a class day this Class of '55 has afforded me. Never since I became principal has a noisier group of juvenile de- linquents passed through these port.als. For the past four years I have had to nail down everything moveable in these halls. Once more he looked fondly at the '45 year book, and flipped over the pages. They were the good people. CEditor's note: 37 arrests and 14 convictionsj His thoughts were interrupted by the inces- ' ' e .telephon- tion ran thus: Hello? No!!! I'll see about this immediately! You're sure? Al1 right, goodbye. Miss Iohnson, call an assembly at once! A 'burp by the Swami interrupted the scene, but as the crystal ball cleared. I could see the student body filing into the gym. The calm voice of Professor Atherton, teacher of Home Economics, encouraged the students -- Hep, two, three, four. Hep, two, three, four. After the usual fanfair, the inspiring voice of Mr. Swaffield was heard. St.udents, I realize that a joke's a joke, but won't you please tell me where you hid the. auditorium? It is imperative that we find it, in order to be prepared for tomorrow's de- bate between Notre Dame's renowned coach, Alexander Skultety, and the equally impor- tant, Terry Roberts, coach of Yale's unde- feated bull dogs, who will speak on the sub- ject, Should Football Be Made Co-ed? After a period of dead silence, Mr. Swaffield said, Very well, then, I shall take immediate and drastic steps. From now on, there shall be no more smoking in class. Miss Johnson, here's a' nickel, phone Sherlock Bonavia im- mediately. f The crystal ball darkened, but soon a new scene was vividly portrayed. Sherlock Bonavia and his assistant, Francis let Propulsion Lyons, were seen following a large pack of blood hounds and a beautiful blonde through the streets of Fairfield . . . into Ioyce Casey's Castle for Contented Cows, where they stopped for a quick double malted float with a coke for a chaser. Gloria Garrison and Dorothy Frimpter who were waiting on them couldn't remember a large mass of people carrying an auditorium through the streets, so the two noble sleuths continued on the trail. Sherlock stopped a member of Fair- field's finest. who, like most policemen, was describing his feats and chiseling a little fruit on the side from Barnum and Reidy's Fruit Store where Tom O'Brien was making out very successfully as manager. PROPHECY fC0f1fi11uCdl Officer Stranko offered his services, and the little group invaded the Miller-Moran Beauty Salon upsetting Stella Kolida, Dolores Cavanaugh, and Mary Lou Sherry who were relaxing in their chairs succumbing to the glorious exhiliration received from the slap- ping of mud and the new sensation sand on their faces. Neville Smih, who was getting his weekly finger wave from Regina Dzier- zanowski, was busy fighting off the Bobby- Sox brigade who were smothering him with cries of Oh, Nevyl' According to Volume II, Article XII, Page l94, Paragraph 1, of the By-Laws of the Order of Sleuths, every detective must have a half hour off for lunch, so with his in mind, our sleuths left the Salon and headed for Ralph Hill's Hacienda. He left Lyons and the blood- hounds tied to the fire hydrant outside. This week Bob Boback and his Torrid Troubadors were being featured. Sherlock checked his Iunior G-Man Fingerprint Outfit, and as he turned to make his way to a table, he stood face to face with Barbara Borsody, a rather luscious cigarette girl. Sherlock was, however, calmed down by Ioe Wall, the bouncer and had gathered his wits sufficiently to order a meal of chocolate covered oysters from the head waiter, Bob Gaston Murray. The lovely strains of I've Got Those Morning after the Night before Blues by Adele Daley, the up and coming song writer, drifted across the room. These melodious notes didn't come from a broken valve as Sherlock had suspected, but from that palpitating prima donna of the airwaves, Ioyce Reuther. An Apache dance, during which Roger Forsberg took a terrific beating from his partner, Betty Callan, landed both the performers in Sherlock's lap. The next act was a lovely thing in which Fina Gonzalez, a contortionist, jumped through a hoop held by a little dog named Snookie. The next morning, magnifying glass in hand, and ice sack on his head, Sherlock trudged out of the Hacienda into the thriving metropolis of Fairfield. The posse interrupted a political and rather homicidal argument be- tween two opposing factions on they subject, Who Would Make a Better President? . . . Ernest W. Vince or Ioan K. Luddy. I Signs, posters, banners, all bearing the in- scription, Vin Vit Vince preceded the large politicalfparade. Pat Kellogg, the energetic majorette, was prancing down the street fol- lowed by a battalion' of Iunior Commandos, including General Henry Dirks, Field Marshal William Borsi, and Privates Leonard Sabia, Ed Filanowski, and Frank Moravek, Ernest Vince, in the center, looking dynamic, inspir- ing, and majestic in his suit of tar and feathers was leaving town Qby popular requestQ for a political campaign in the Gobi Desert. Next, our attention was caught by a dazzling statue of liberty, Elaine Porter, posing on a spectacular float. A banner attached to an ice cream cone held in her upraised hand read, Liberty with Luddy. Draped grace- fully at the base of the statue were several Powers models among whom we noticed Arlene Taylor, Beverly lean Webster, and Ioan Thibault.. Lying languidly in the midst of posies was the exotic Patrick Aloyious Farma, the renown pin-up boy of the Annap- olis for Women. Realizing that he was accomplishing nothing, Sherlock proceeded down the main street toward the business section. The crystal ball darkened, then cleared again, and I saw Sherlock skipping down the street which was lined on either side with small shops. Oh yes, there's Berardino's Bak- ery, and Mercurio's Grocery, andisay, What's this? A very odd-looking shop deco- rated with streamers hanging from the roof, attracted the attention of our super-sleuth as he dashed down the street. On top of this little shop, in modernistic letters was a sign which read, Civkin's Russian Reducing Salon. Could this be our old classmate? Sauntering in, he found Harold Hough ex- pertly massaging several customers. In another room, he saw Lis Inderdohnen and Muriel Leary who were in charge of the steam baths. In a third room was Iames Arbas, form- erly a gym teacher, leading a group of ladies in exercises while Ken Carlson encouraged them with strains from his harps. . lt seems like old home week around here , said Sherlock to himself. Sinceall his friends were very busy, Sherlock wandered out and found himself directly in front of a little shop called Schuman's Shangri-La. What's this? What kind of establishment can this be? He entered and saw to his amazement a group of about fifteen, standing before none other than Twinkle-Toes Schuman, himself, who was at this time engaged in his rendition of the Dance of the Buttercups. The music was being supplied by the enchanting and haunt- ing strains of Ken Benedict's flute. Among the group he noticed a few familiar faces, such as Ruth Barr, Inez Townsend, and Dorothy Myer. Practicing the piroutt.e in an out-of-the- 40 PROPHECY fC0r1finued J way corner were lack Belanger and Bill Baird, each clad in a pair of skin-tight fuchia tights. No doubt it was the lunch hour at Upham's Brewery. After exchanging greetings with Twinkle Toes, Sherlock meandered along. Not having gone very fur. he.. ewhite sky- scraper on his left. In neon lights were the words, Lobdel's Revue de Glamour. How could he resist going in? The offices were on the 784th floor, but he was soon there in a super-elevator operated by Flash Johnson, former P38 pilot. As he wandered down the hallway, he glanced into a door marked - David Russell, Editor. Sitting at a desk was Frannie Kachmar, busily typing away. He stopped in to talk, and as he was inquiring as to the whereabouts of the missing auditorium, a crash and shouted words startled him - Get out and stay out! Frannie explained that Ken Williams came in daily and was systematically thrown out by Katie McClinch, the Lovelorn Editor. When she saw Sherlock, Katie insisted upon showing him around. In the advertising department he found Charlie Downs as its head, with a staff of efficient secretaries and typists including Helen Greenwald, Katherine Hopko, and Caroline Manzetti. In the art department he met another alumnus - Charlie Wood - busily sketching Iustine Williams, who was wearing a lovely outfit created by that sen- sational new designer - A Rene Renau -- Whom we knew in her younger days as Gunga Liptak. Completing his extensive tour, he left re- lunctantly to continue his search. He made his way into the teaming lobby and as he was leaving by the revolving door, with his pack of bloodhounds at his heels, he stopped to buy a paper from a smiling paper boy. To his surprise he recognized him as Ioe DelBuno. Glancing at the headlines, he was startled to read FIRE SWEEPS THROUGH PELLET'S PICKLE PLANT. Becoming interested, he read further. The origin of the fire is yet unknown, but it has been rumored that Russel Adams head of the laboratory, has been experimenting on a new type of incendiary pickle. David Shoup, president of the company, declared that the fire had destroyed 550,000 worth of pickles. Betty Whitney and Ioyce White, industrial nurses, were swamped by victims of a slight scorch. The most tragic of these was the case of Ronald Thelin, chairman of the Pickle Presser's Local No. 278320600047.l. As a pickle presser, Chairman Thelin's job was to press down the last pickle in the jar so that the lid could be screwed on by his assistant, Helen Eisenman. The opinion of Fire Chief Iohn Sisko was expressed as follows: This certainly burns Mrs. Pellett, nee Marge Bok, ,practicing first aid was at her husband's side at the catas- trophe. As he was walking down the street reading the paper, darkness suddenly descended - in fact, Sherlock suddenly descended, for he had fallen into a man-hole. Obligingly, a hand helped him out. He was dazzled by a gleaming medal with the letters D. S. C. en- graved upon it. The medal, to which Bob Sadowski was attached, upon closer inspec- tion bore the inscription, District Street Clean- er, in a fine clear print. As the two were talk- ing over old times, a voice hailed them. Ah! It was Bob Seirup on his daily mail route. Bob had news that he had seen the auditorium gaily bouncing down Warf Street. Sherlock, hot on the trail, hopped a Central Bus. In one terrific spring he reached the only available seat before an elderly woman. Where has chivalry gone? Nonchalantly' leaning back, he was im- mensely entertained by an enlightening con- versation carried on between two voices which he later identified as Helen Kucky and Ann O'Neil. My dear, have you heard that poor Doris' husband - you know that cute Mr. Goldsmith -- with the little goatee has lost his wonder- ful position at lack Conner's Stork Seminary. But that's how it goes! You haven't, by any chance, read Pat Forrester's new novel on Sue Fisher, Doctor and Homemaker. No, but I hear it's the best she's written. It should be, it's her first. It's being published by Pollak's Publishing House. After fifteen minutes of intense listening, Sherlock discovered that Warf Road was the approaching stop. Upon handing his fare to the conductor, whom he noticed as Edith Pall, Sherlock .descended the bus and began trudging towards the water front. For some reason Sherlock never took to the water- front atmosphere. Thinking about this a little in detail, he decided it all began when his favorite girl had adopted Scent of the God by Veibranz as her dstinctive perfume. What a fishy affair that had been. PROPHECY tC0ntinuf-d J By this time Sherlock had approached the wharf cmd after inspecting every nook cmd corner imaginable in hopes of some news about his grave problem, he decided to sit down on someone's steamer trunk and view the passengers who were descending from the exclusive line, the Se Ski Squ , which, every- one knew, belonged to our former pencil pushers, Seirup, Skiba, and Sgueo who were now well -on the road to becoming multi- multi millionnaires. The first one he recognized leaving the boat was the former Mary Sheddon. She had been studying in France for quite a while. Sherlock remembered reading the social page of last month's Fairfield News, -that Mary had been married to some Viennese Count, but after wiping his monocle, he discovered that it was one of Mary's many French poodles at her heels and not her newly acquired husband. Upon 'inquiring as to why Phyllis Donley, hot news reporter for the town newspaper, was present .at this time, we found out that Ernie Neon Kovacs, that successful painter, had been painting abroad and was to arrive home today. Why, sure enough, who should Sherlock's eyes feast upon - none other than Ernie himself. No doubt his tie was one of his masterpieces. Phyllis also informed me that the two girls with Ernie were his private sec- retaries. We recognized them as being Evelyn Szoke and-Agnes Zygmant. Deciding that time was awasting, Sherlock was about ready to return to Mr. Swaffield and admit defeat when a loud noise startled him. He turned in utter surprise - What's going on? To his amazement ya huge spout of water, from which appeared the balcony of the lost auditorium, had come up. Eureka!!! Sherlock turned to his assistant joyfully. Frannie Lyons, the assistant, who had up to this time said nothing.- said nothing! Harold Loomis, a recent graduate of the famed Charles Atlas course, struggled out bearing the auditorium on his shoulders. Sher- lock demanded an explanation from Loomis. Loomis' comment was Gurgle, Gurgle. Loomis, we found, was the personal represen- tative of the Ronald Morgan 6. Iohn Hurley, Fumigating Company. The Helen Beardsley Chemical Company, it seems, ran out of Fumi- gating fumes, so they, Morgan 6. Hurley, had to resort to drastic measures - the river!!! Sherlock rented a van from the Frank Bunkoci Trucking Company, and with the aid of Teddie Burr and Doris Woodward, truck- erettes, the missing wing was taken triumphant- ly through the street homeward. Exactly five minutes was lost in a traffic jam caused by the inexperience of Estelle Herold, Traffic officer. While waiting to get free of this jam, Sherlock noticed on the motor- scooter in front of him a poster reading - Eleanor Lengyel presents Devil Street, star- ring Emmy Lou Sammis with Carolyn Smith. They finally zoomed off!!! At last, thought Sherlock, my mission is completed, and I can now think of the finer things of life. With this thought in mind he puckered up his lips in wolf-like fashion and was about to whistle at Grace Thompson, an F. H. S. history t.eacher, who was walking with her colleague Florence Saunderson, teacher of Biology, when he was stopped by the sight of a curley-head topped by a visor' cap. Ah, it was Dorothy Bjorlin driv- ing a You name it, we'll slaughter it taxi cab. Sherlock resorted to waving merrily at Dotty. When they arrived at school, Bonavia marched proudly up the stairs to announce his victory to Mr. Swaffield. At the door stood a uniform-No, it was a girl - none other than Barbara Wishneski, Keeper of the Door. Sherlock saluted and sauntered into the lnner Sanctum. Icy fear gripped his heart - No, No, Sherlock, you don't go to school any more! Remember? Ah, yes, but those were the good old days, weren't they1-the words died slowly away, and the Swami raised his head. Sahib, the crystal ball dims: perhaps the gleam of gold will restore its splendor, but alas, we were unable to see further into the future, for our gold supply had mysteriously vanished. Well, at least we had seen say what's this? In one of A.bdul's dark cor- ners stood Damaris MacFarquhar patiently blowing a Scotch bagpipe. We stared at the Swami belligerently - he had failed us: he had left a member of our cult out of the fore- telling of the future. The Swami gestered wildly, and Damaris reluctantly crawled back into the crystal ball. Before she did so, how- ever, we managed to ask her what her occu- pation was: She told us proudly that she and her bagpipe were renowned the world over as music lovers. This, she said, was probably due to that music appreciation class of Miss Walter's away back in the year of 1945. As she faded away, we left the Swami's palace. As a whole the class turned out pretty well- you never would have guessed it, would you?

Moy 52 Football The 1944 football season proved to be one of the best in the history of Roger Lud1owe's fighting elevens. Being undefeated, untied, and very seldom scored upon, our team carried the Fairfield banner high. The Sports Writers' Association at the annual ing light scoring two touchdowns in the last half after a fighting Milford team gave way to a superior line play. 4 I Fairfield 21 -- Norwalk 6 With Skultety making three decisive plays that netted touchdowns, Fairfield trimmed a rneetingin N5Haven, rankedfus third, with New London and Ansonia in first and second places respectively. This ranking, however, was and still is a question that has been de- bated time and time again. We tied with Stamford for the County A title, but a post season game to decide for the crown could not be played. A deciding factor in the games played throughout the season proved to be our excel- lent defensive record. There were only thirteen points.scored against the team during the en- tire 1944 season. , Fairfield 33 - Prep 0 Paced by Captain Al Skultety, Fairfield romped over the Iesuits with at 33-0 count in the first game of the season. Charlie Atherton, star tackle, came into the spotlight when he caught a batted ball in mid-air and raced seventy yards for a touchdown. Stopa, who played his last game before entering the navy, gave the fans many a thrill. Fairfield 7 - Harding 0 At Hedges Stadium, Roger Ludlowe engaged Harding under the lights and came out on top with a 7-0 victory. Harding, threatening many times throughout the game, was stopped three times inside the ten yard line by a defense that rose to the occasion. The touchdown came in the last remaining seconds when Captain Al Skultety smashed over from the two yard line after a pass play from Lobdell to Skiba. Fairfield 13 - Central 0 With Fairfield and Central both bearing identical records of three successive wins and no defeats, this fray was to be a deciding factor for the County A title. The outcome was rather disconcerting for the Red and Black. They had no first downs throughout the game and lost three yards by rushing. This was one of the worst defeats Central has suffered at the hands of the Roger Ludlowe team. Fairfield 13 -- Milford 0 , Here again, Captain Skultety was the shin- Norwalk eleven by a 21-6 score. Norwalk, hav- ing a tricky offense, found the going tough in Fairfield territory but they refused to give up and pushed across for a touchdown late in the second quarter. A fake pass executed by Skultety resulted in a forty yard run that was the highlight of the game. t Fairfield 13 -- Stratford 0 Mud, mud, and more mud! The weather con- ditions were the worst the boys had to play in all year. However, this did not seem to bother the Ludlowites, for they notched a touch- down in each half to secure their second suc- cessive victory in two years over Stratford. Stratford's tricky offense was a threat through- out the game, but the Ludlowe lads did not yield. Fairfield 13 -- Danbury 0 Fairfield, turning in one of its poorest per- formances of the year, was completely baffled by Danbury's modified T. A stubborn defense when the chips were down held off the Hatters threats. Skultety raced 60 yards to a touchdown early in the first quarter, while he rand 30 yards to score on an intercepted pass in the third quarter. Fairfield 20 - Bassick 0 In the annual Turkey Day Clash .with our arch rival, Bassick, the Ludlowe squad per- formed brilliantly to achieve its greatest victory of the season. This was a decisive victory con- sidering the scores in previous games. t Concluding the season, Lobdell was pre- sented with the Gallagher Trophy for the sea- son's outstanding player, while Skultety and Skiba were presented with trophies for out- standing performances in the Bassick game. In recognition of their accomplishments, the team and coaching staff were awarded gold footballs by the Fathers' Club. Captain Skul- tety was chosen for the All-State team for his season's playing and attended the All-Sports Banquet in New Haven. And so a successful football season came to a close!

' ' ' Basketball Pat Farma with l43 points, Iacouzzi with 113 points, and Bob Seirup with lll points led the team in scoring: but -the back court play of Bill Seirup and Al Skultety was also outstanding. The team has shown fine defensive and of- fensive playing and we are confident that they will prove their worth in the New England Tour- nament. Diminutive and fleet-footed forwards, Pat Farma and Rocco Iacouzzi, the rangy cen- ter, Bob Seirup, together with the ever sharp guards, Bill Seirup and Alex Skultety, compose the first team. Towering Milt Pellett, tricky Mait McNamara and snappy Zeke Sullivan serve as dependable subs. The team started off the season by drubbing Fairfield Prep by a score of 42-19, but were defeated by Stratford 33-20 on their second trial. After the Christmas holidays the players bounced back to their former brilliant playing and defeated Milford 42-20, Bassick 25-l7, Harding 33-28, and Norwalk 40-28. At the end of a four-game winning streak, they were nosed out in three games by Central, Greenwich, and Harding. The scores were 33-31, 35-34, 28-24, respectively. In the next four games they trounced Danbury 42-28 and 35-19, Bassick 35-33, and Central 43-29. The team was de- feated by Norwalk in the Norwalk gym in a nip and tuck game which ended with a score of 33-27. Although Stamford and Stratford were favored in the last two games, the Ludlowites nosed them both out by scores of 33-32 and 37-34. Gym Club First row, left to right: V. Lipinski, L. Sandor, W.

Hoyt not in picture.J Basketball Team 9 out of 10 foul shots, l0 out of l0 from the left side, 10 out of l0-and so on. That's how the varsity girls' record looks! Or is supposed to! Everyday each of the varsity and I. V. for- wards tries ten shots from four different places on the court, andthe record is carefully kept. It's wonderful practice and it pays dividends. When one of the girls is in one of these four positions, Terry Roberts, team captain, has nary a fear that the ball will not swish right through the basket. Once in a while chance plays tricks on the ball, but more often the practice proves itself. Not only shooting but lightning passes make the team really fast. The ball glides from Terry Roberts to Iean Taylor to Betty Whitney like a.flash in varsity games. Often it is Pearl Pollack who steams up the court, dribbling in for a basket. But we can't overlook the guards, and al- though they don't keep records, the team would be sunk without adhesive qualities of Teddy Burr, Elaine Porter, and Thora Carr, not to speak of Betsy Herold. And how about those I. V.'s? They certainly are indispensiblel Next year many of them will be the Varsity-and what is Fairfield High without the traditional super-basketball team. Of course, even super-teams need practice so Doris Ecklund, I. V. captain, can often be found setting an example as she practices in the gym. . The team's first game, with Iunior College, was a glorious victory, 49 to l8, and set the girls on the road to a successful season. Whether this prediction comes true remains to be seen, but we'll give you odds! Along with varsity basketball go interclass games, and interclass certainly is popular. So popular, in fact, that there are three freshman and three sophomore teams and two junior and two senior teams. These rough and ready games are certainly as exciting as any of the boys' games. The playing is the best because it is in interclass that Miss O'Dwyer finds ma- terial for future varsities. GIRLS' HOCKEY First row, left to right: P. Pollack, T. Burr, L. Wilson, P. Cartwright, I.

Hockey Practice, practice, practice! That's what makes a good hockey team, so that's what we did! About three times a week clouds of dust rose from the stampede of the varsity eleven down at Legion Field. Neither cold, fog, nor snow could dampen the fighting spirit of the team. Perhaps the reason for the team's enthusiasm was due to the popularity of the sport among the Fairfield girls. Most other schools can scarce- ly raise enough girls for two teams, While here at Ludlowe over one hundred girls turned out for inter-class hockey. From these, an honor team was chosen which participated in varsity games with other schools. The girls fought valiantly under the leadership of their cap- tain, lean Taylor at center, and emerged with a good record. . lean was flanked by hard-pushing inners in Ioyce Viebranz and Betty Rowe. The wings, Pat Cartwright and Elaine Porter, never failed to bring up the ball when it came their way. A fighting backfield, Pat Pellett, Pearl Pollack and Teddie Burr, half-backs-and Thora Carr and Barbara Porter, full backs, followed up the forward wall. Linda Wilson did her best to protect Fairfield's goal. The interclass tournament was fast and furious with Ioyce Viebranz's senior team just nosing out the others to finish first.

Well, we could say it takes outstanding ability and stuff, but actually all you need is a good healthy interest in sports, nonbreak- able limbs, and a few free afternoons. You can accumulate six points in no time with a little effort. It's fun if you have a share in those heated arguments and rib-busting antics. Whatever you have to go through, it's worth it. Why? Of course, there's the prestige, but aside from that, there's a terrifically funny ini- tiation: it's terrifically funny for everybody but the poor souls who are being initiated. Then there's the annual trip to New York. Have you noticed the new gray hairs in Miss O'D's head? No? Well, that is only one of the visible effects of the trip. The girls really have a wonderful time despite all these obstacles. When complaints occur, as they sometimes do, they are directed to Teddy Burr, president, who hands them to lean Taylor, vice-president. From there they go to Doris Ecklund, secre- tary, who finally gives them to Miss O'D. By this time the complaint has been forgotten. By the way, one of the best features of the club is that there aren't any dues. First row, left to right: P. Pollack, B. Whitney, N. Smith, B. Rowe, D. Maclfarquhar, P. Cartwright Cmgr.D, V.

And there are throngs, believe mel You may see this for your- self any Thursday afternoon: that is, if the club hasn't been locked out. Yes, that has happened! Once a year Fairfield plays hostess to the other high schools in this vicinity at a bowling play day. The competition between the schools is terriiic!

Yes, we know it was more like a belly-flop, but practice makes per- fect, and it won't be many more Wednesday nights before those girls get tohbe as graceful as Esther Williams . . . and as pretty-you know swimming does wonders for you. y Aside from the good effects, though, the girls really get a kick out of ducking each other and splashing around. l lasts for fort +e then the girls play for twenty minutes. Once a season there's a Splash Party to which strong-hearted males, who can stand the sight of straight, wet hair and un-made-up girls, are invited. In case you walk by the Westport Y be- tween seven and nine when the t.wo classes are in session and happen to hear groans and screams of pain, don't get alarmed. It's just the victims of artificial respiration practice. Mrs. Sides has just. recently begun a life saving course with the girls who are struggling valiantly to become efficient life savers. F Club Here they are! Ludlowe's choice athletes. These are the Glamazons- you know, Amazons with glamor! In onehway or another each of these girls has accumulated twenty points or more, enough for an F sweater. Before they reached the hard-earned Twenty mark, they each received a crew hat plus a silver fox pin for fifteen points. This award, the F , is the highest given to a girl for athletics, and she really has to work for it. Occasionally a girl who has not been on any varsity team achieves an F , but she has to struggle through play days and rugged inter-class games. ' And they are rugged! lf a girl should get nineteen pionts and just can't seem to squeeze out the very last one, the club votes on her eligibility. Actually, the Girls' F Club entails a long period of hard work: one varsity position doesn't give you an F by any means. From time to time the club gets together to discuss business matters, but more often it meets for social gatherings. The F Club is a strictly senior organization, and the requirements are really stiff. Work hard, under classmen. You may be one of the Glamazons yet! Z 64 WEN W fa . f ' 1 .'-'.- 0 p ' 4.0.

Six more players were added during the year. As usual they played for all home games during the football season. Several new instruments were provided by the Board of Education. Among them were a bass clarinet and a bassoon, both of which were most welcome additions to the woodwind section, thereby giving a much better balance of instrumentation. The Thirteenth Annual Spring Concert on April 13, featured Ioe Powers and Warren Carl- son in a trumpet duet, Eddie Kish in a baritone horn solo, and for the first time one of our boys, Iohn Filep, was vocal soloist singing the very timely Road to Mandalay by Oley Speaks. The principal feature of the concert was a special arrangement, by Mr. Bayers of Stephen Foster's Oh Susanna in the dance rhythms of six different countries and danced by groups of students in the costumes of these countries. The dancers were trained and directed by our capable Miss O'Dwyer. The band also played for the annual Uncle Ioe's Night, the feature number being the humorous Ragtime Wedding and, of course, the Memorial Day Parade was headed by the Roger Ludlowe Band. Ten members of the band were members of the graduating class. M First row, left to right: Miss Walter, P. Pollack, B. Haller, I. Kaminski, S. Hatch, E. Sammis, E. Petrusaitis, R. Weyls, E.

Twelve representatives, elected by the choir, participated in an All State High School chorus of three hundred voices which sang in Hartford in a coast to coast. broadcast on October 27. At Thanksgiving and again at Christmas, the well-trained group sang at special as- semblies in conjunction with the English and Art departments and entertained interested parents by renditions of several types of songs to exemplify the work accomplished in practice periods. Christmas found the choir with two invita- tion appearances in Bridgeport. One was at the Catholic Women's Guild while the other was the Christmas Carol Concert sponsored by the Wednesday Afternoon Musical Society. Choirs from the high schools of Bridgeport, Stratford, and Fairfield sang in this concert at the United Congregational Church. The year's work was brought to a climax by the Annual Spring Concert. This was held on May 4, and was a huge success. The program had a great deal of variety from the very serious Ode to America by Noble Cain to the humorous Grasshopper by Clokey and Randolph. Many new voices were heard in solo parts at this time. This year has been a very busy and success- ful one for the A Cappella Choir. Now that it is over, the members look in retrospect at the fun that accompanied the hard work necessary for finished performances. The fine reputation of this musical organization is becoming firmly established. 1 f Orchestra Our orchestra was smaller than usual this year with a membership of twenty-two at the beginning of the year. Five more members were added later. Our greatest need was for string players. The addition of the oboe and bassoon have been especially valuable to the orchestra. We took part in an assembly program at Christmas time, played for the Komians, and gave a concert with the Glee Clubs in May. The orchestra, as usual, furnished the gradua- tion music. A Ten of our members were graduated this year. Girls' Chorus First row, left to right: Miss Walter, M. Whiteman, M. Kell, M. Leary. M. Robertson, G. Kost. B. Benton, S. Lawrence, I. Radel, E.

The membership is com- prised mostly oi freshman and sophomore girls with a sprinkling of upperclassmen. The purpose oi the chorus, started last year. is to practice the art of singing together, to follow the director, and to enjoy the fun of recreational singing in a large group. It is from this group that recommendations are made for A Cappella Choir membership. This year about a dozen girls from the ranks of the Girls' Chorus have been invited to join the highly selective organization. The chorus sang at the Thanksgiving as- sembly in November, and again in public on May 18, when it assisted the orchestra in an evening concert. Accompanists have been: Beryl Pinckney, Anita Iohnson, and Mary Lou Southard. nm 'DEW' ,, mf., .4 mms I A E ,g J. -. -' '. mfg-Sci. .G-J I I ,lv . . fy.. . 4 .' 'ttf H Q 'vz'.'Z'1I2:i5f . 4.

Senior Council , For the second straight year thirteen mem- bers, instead of the usual twelve, were elected to the Senior Council of Roger Ludlowe. Miss Mary Thompson and Mr. Leo Rosen- thal vvere asked to be faculty advisers, while Milton Pellet was chosen President, Robert Sadowski, Vice-President: and Vivian Carroll, Secretary. The first activity of the Council was the sponsoring of the War Bond and Stamp Drive with the result that the school Was awarded the Minute-Man Flag in October and has main- tained better than SOQQ participation through- out the year. In addition to conducting two very success- ful school dances, the Council played host at a delightful tea held for all members of the faculty. Along with members of the Student Con- gress, the Council proposed greater respon- sibilities and self-government for the student body. At an assembly they secured the co- operation of the school to make their plan a success. 1-...A First Row, left to right: Mr. Whittaker. N. Smith, V. Carroll, S. Fisher, G. Schumann, C. Atherton. E.

Student Congress In September the Student Congress was organized with Charles Atherton, President: George Schuman, Vice-President: and Edmund D'Attelo, Secretary. This year the Student Con- gress has been particularly active attempting wherever possible to assist in supervising stu- dent activities and to aid in making our school a better school in which to live. In addition to appointing and supervising the hall monitors, it has reorganized and is supervising by means of a traitic commission the student patrol. It has set up tor the student body certain regula- tions which it is taking the responsibility of enforcing. lt has secured for the student body certain privileges through personal appear- ances before the faculty.

Waehler, associate When the senior class first conceived the idea of a school newspaper in 1933, they hardly dreamed that it would survive its first year. However, the publication, which they en- titled The Fox, deriving this name from the four foxes on the school seal, flourishes and for the past twelve years has been among the most important extra-curricular activities of the school. This year the ln-Brief column and Live Letters to the Editor are new features. The Fox has Fox Editors Planning Make-Up editor: B. Stewart, managing editor. increased the staff membership, the size of the paper, and the advertisements. Also for the first time in the history of the school The Fox has entered the Columbia Scholastic Press Associa- tion. Because of the war, the annual spring conference held in New York was cancelled. Though The Fox has been a students' paper it could never have existed without the untir- ing patience and helpful guidance of its faculty advisers-Winifred E. Sanders, Charles E. Lu- minati, and Leo Rosenthal. First row, lei! to right: M. Peterson, M. Gallo, F. Gopsill, I. Slirxey, I. Rosgonyi, P. Norton, A. Berardino, M. Kell, M. Pontillo. Second row: A. Taylor, D. Meyer, C.

T The Commercial Club This year the Commercial Club started again its ever popular newspaper The Commercialite. The first issue came out on Valentine's Day, and it proved to be a great success. In addition to the publication of the paper, program committees appointed at each meet- ing put on various skits and entertainments. These were educational in nature and of great interest to the members, most of whom are planning business careers. The officers of the club are as follows: Presi- dent, Iarnes Rozgonyi: Vice-President, Io Ann Sliney: Treasurer, Peggy Norton: Secretary. Ann Berardino. First row, left to right: Miss Waner, P.

Our meetings have consisted of prepared re- ports, demonstration experiments, and movies. Topics on chemistry in everyday lite, lives of keystone chemists, explosives, medicine, and current events were discussed by members, each of whom participated in at least one meet- ing. Because of prevailing War conditions, our activities were limited: however, we have ac- complished our purpose of knowing more of modern chemistry. F First row, left to right: P. Moran, S.

Stage Crew The Stage Crew this year has welcomed several new members including three fresh- men. It has been an especially active year for the group, as the Fathers' Club has put on two shows instead of their usual one. In addition, many more classes have taken advantage of the facilities for visual education, and this has created a greater demand for the services of projector operators. Each boy and girl is try- ing to maintain the standard for excellent work set by former members. SERGEANT RADIO TECH. LIEUTENANIY CAPTAIN ENSIGN LIEUTENANT CAPTAIN LIEUTENANT P. O.

At the organization meeting officers for the Komians were elected as follows: Ed D'Attelo, President: Barbara Stewart, Vice-President: Vivian Carroll, Secretary: and Ed Lobdell, Treasurer. The Thespians took charge of the meetings in which many of the 150 members took part. Especially -noteworthy was the meeting in which a one-act play, Great Caesar, was presented under the direction of Iustine Wil- liams. And now the big night for the cast oi The Sunshine Twins is over., The amusing situa- tion and Wit.ty lines of the play kept the audi- ence convulsed with laughter through the en- tire evening. This comedy by Dana Thomas was a huge success due to the excellent work of the cast which included Muriel Leary and Bernard Lee as the twins. The remainder of the cast included Edna Flicker, Walter Danylko, Shirley Gagnon, Lora Civkin, Dick Forsyth, Mario Fracassini, Herbert Malin, Phyllis Don- ley, and Pat Cartwright. Anita Liptak assisted Miss Kelly in the direca tion of the play and also as prompter. The Kornians First row, left to right: M. Barnes, A. Baumrind, I. Williams, M. Sheddon, I. White, I. Drew, M.

It is divided int.o four sections under the direction of Mr. Ambrose, Mr. Chase, Mr. Duso, and Mr. Wright. Some of the ,units studied include furniture repair, refinishing, electrical appliance repair, repairs to plumbing fixtures, and soldering. These units are presented with the aim of help- ing these students to understand the construc- tion and operation of common home furnish- ings, appliances and fixtures, as Well as simple maintenance and repair operations which may prolong the usefulness of such articles.

Under the capable supervision of Mr. Stebbins this group has conducted a debate at each club meeting. The members have profited greatly from his instructions on the fundamentals of public speaking and debating. As subjects for the discussions we selected topics of current in- terest. One, for instance, was the proposition: President .................................. Vice President ................... That Military Training Should Be Compulsory. Another debate was on the question: Resolved That Capital Punishment Should Be Abolished. Besides debates within the club we have chal- lenged the Forum Club to a formal debate. Thus the club has been not only educational. but also highly interesting to all concerned. At 'the first meeting the club officers we've elected as follows: - . ............. Leonard Kunin ................Terry Breslav Secretary-Treasurer ....................... ...... . .................. . . ......... Marie McCarthy It is hoped that in the future the Debating Club will provide a worthwhile activity for all freshmen and sophomores interested in debat- ing and public speaking.

A cross-country trip from Fairfield to California was the subject of the first program. Latin-American scenes were next requested by the group, and in two meetings most of the large countries were visited. Of special interest were many of the pictures taken in the Andean Mountains showing the Indians in native costumes and enjoying an- President ........... Vice-President .......

The' club has played host to the Spanish group, and at the last meeting we were the guests of the Railroad Enthusiasts! when we had the oppportunity of seeing a modern rail- road in action.

Bernard Lee was chosen president and Robert Nussen- feld vice-president. Miss Winifred E. Sanders was the faculty adviser. Permission was ob- tained for the usetof the school dark room as soon as it could be outfitted. At one meeting each member brought in his camera and a discussion was held concerning Wthe advantages and drawbacksnof each. Mrf C. E. Thompson from Senior's Camera Shop came to one of the first meetings and explained the basic fundamentals of photography. S Gift Club Gift Club was reorganized this year with a large number of freshmen girls joining the group. Officers elected at the beginning of the year were as follows: President, Nancy Meeker: Vice-President, Marianne Sorensen: Secretary and Treasurer, Patricia Connell. The members, under the leadership of Miss Banks, learned to make a wide variety of useful gifts including knitted socks, mittens, scarves, and crocheted and embroidered articles. Latin Club The Latin Club of 1945 has great aspirations. It includes about twenty-three students from the freshman and sophomore classes. We chose Latin names for our officers, and they are as follows: lmperator CPres.D ............................. .............. L ista Lincoln Dux CV. Pres.D ......... ............. C liff Iohnson Scribe CSec.D .................... ............. l ane Hitchcock Quaestor CTreas.D .............................................................................. Nancy Downs We also have a Legion CSocial Committeej comprised of both freshmen and sophomores. Miss Dimick, our teacher, has made many suggestions for entertainment. We hope to have a party in the spring. To make it more interesting for the members of the Latin Club, Miss Dimick suggested we might visit a Latin Club at another school, namely, Harding High, which will also be in the spring. -We are starting a program of varied pro- jects which will be on display for the whole school as soon as it is completed.

Under the direction ot Arthur Leiss, President, Ann Hiker, Vice-President: Nancy Whitney, Secretary: and Raymond Alvey, Treasurer, We have enjoyed many interesting meetings carried on almost entirely in Spanish.

At home we must co-operate in the war effort if we wish to hasten the close of the period of hatred. Many have entered war factories to make our assembly line the fastest ever known. Ship builders have employed so great a number that ships slide down the ways in ever increasing numbers. Professional people have a larger amount of burdens since fellow workers have been called to the colors, but all are willing to work for the prize we seek. Youngsters from kindergarten up to the high school age are collecting salvage-a valued task at present. Older children have taken jobs as part- time workers and find time for Red Cross work and community activities. We are proud of the fine job Fairfield is doing in all her policies. By keeping the wheels rolling here we are making it easier for the fighters on foreign soil to come home from over there. Do Your Part 0n The Home Front . . . Help The Boys 0n The Battle Front.

A few years ago they may have been just Nancy Iones and Sally Black: but today they are performing a worthy part in hospitals, offices, and on the battle front as nurses. They have released men to take part in combat zones. They have become experienced mechanics, electricians, and engineers within a short time. They went where they thought they would do most good. Theirs has been a sacrifice of the fine luxuries of life in order to re- establish that flaming torch in hearts of all Fairfield citizens. When victory is won, we can be sure these women soldiers will be worthy of praise. Think of them often: send them letters about home: and they will know that we have not forsaken them.

The least we can do for our fighting men is to have jobs for them to fill when they come back-when they come back. They are our boys, our own Fairfield sons. We must insure their future happiness. Make a promise to them-Keep it! They are maintaining peace for us-in America and in Fairfield--the rights and freedom in which we find that happiness for ourselves and our posterity. Think of how he can accomplish his part when he isn't a soldier. He doesn't want to come home and fight another battle-a battle less tragic but as important as a world combat.

EVERYWHERE The Red Cross is ready all the time in all the world. lt can accomplish a great deal more if it has the support of the home front. With aid it can furnish aid to prisoners of war with useful articles. lt can bring those away from home close to home. Through the Bed Cross Home Service Center, servicemen are able to write to their families and loved ones. Oftentimes the Red Cross enables Service Men to see their families. P Another functioning of the Red Cross is its rehabilitation center which helps wounded and maimed men to care for themselves and overcome dis- abilities. On the whole the work of the Red Cross is inestimable. lts range of activities includes so much good in so many places that we cannot keep track of them. But we do know that our contributions could go to no worthier cause. The Red Cross is a world-known organization which has been and will be perhaps the foremost in fostering care to the needy. .There Is No Worthier Cause.
