Even though you had looked forward to that day for a long time you were scared- plenty scared CNow look at you-Seniors whose motto, I came, I saw, I conquered, is realized.J Because of having nothing more constructive to do, you settled down to try to fulfill the dream of the spring day that you would all graduate cum laude. You always did your homework, never spoke unless spoken to, even studied in your study halls. Yes, you really have changed! After a few months you somehow worked up nerve enough to elect officers. If you strain your brains, you'll probably remember that you chose two boys and two girls to help Miss Judson, our class adviser. Peter Smith as president was her right hand man, jane Hitchcock as secretary helped hm. Next in line were Nancy Downs, your treasurer, watch- ing your finances and Julian Wargo, your vice-president, watching your treasurer. You all began to loosen up a bit and a freshman party was planned. Everyone really did have a swell time. After studying like fiends all year, when exam time came around you were ready for the trials and tribulations. Everyone passed with flying colors! September, 1945, came all too soon. You all bowed your heads in deepest reverence as you passed through the portals of Ye Olde You were once again in sacred territory and you all knew it. You were led through the sophomore year by Ted lvanko, president, Peter Mount, vice-president, joan Herold, secretaryg and jane Hitchocok, treasurer. They did a good job, too. You students, and we use the word loosely, were still in the process of gaining possession of your place in the world of study. Congratulations were in store for you because as time passed you ventured forth to see a little more of your surroundings. You tried a few things like the dances, the Freshman-Sophomore plays, the Komian and Thespian plays, and you came out for the sports banquets. Such stars, of course, won first place and twenty-five dollars in the interclass competitive assemblies. The new nurse's room was used by you young creatures quite a good deal because you weren't used to such physical and mental exertion as high school pupils experience. . 39 Last on the agenda while you were sophomores was the election of officers to lead you through the junior year. They were Peter Mount, president, Joan Herold, vice-president, Marilyn McAuley, secretary, and Nancy Norling, treasurer. The junior year was one of many adventures for your now famous class. This was your year to shine! Like beavers you worked selling pins, emblems, stickers, thats, candy, football programs, license plate markers and whatever was anything but original. Because this made you so extremely wealthy you could well afford to put on a good class party. The seniors, seeing what marvelous business people you had turned into, fell to their knees worshipping and begging you to give the honor of sponsoring their prom. This went over very well at the Ritz Ballroom. Do you recall the Senior Council tapping? You all sat on the edges of your chairs cheering for the lucky students that were chosen. Your Daisy Chain was the best in years, natch. This year again you elected your officers: president, Ted lvanko, vice-president, Bob Norton, secretary, joan Bender, and treasurer, Mary Myer for the ensuing terms with your new adviser, Miss McLaughlin. Boisterously you entered F.H.S. in 1947. Quite a change from your freshman year. A beautiful trophy case caught all eyes. It held all your many hard won treasures. The Senior Council Dance, The Corn Shuck Shuffle, was attended by all the Fairfield farmers dressed in their working clothes. Your little minds all too soon were turning towards the coming annual events-the junior Prom, Senior Banquet, Class Day, and your Graduation. Your school slogan, What we are to be we are now becoming, was nearing your grasp. The final step has been taken -now you are ladies and gentlemen of the world! And so, dear classmates, we have set down these few notations of your active and pleasant days spent at R.L.H.S. that you may not forget when you are old and feeble and the clock has ticked away the years, how well spent were the four years of your gay young life. May they remain fondly in your thoughts as they now are in ours. Historically yours, BEVERLY BENTON, HELLEN HOLT. 40 MTW I MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED julian Wargo, Ann Shimer CLASS ARGUER Janice Baker, Phil Treaclwell QUIETEST Bob Christian, Thelma Smith MOST ARTISTIC Charles Rideg, Peggy Lobdell MOST FRIENDLY NOISIEST Mary Myer, Tony Costa Mildred Higgins, john Nagy BEST DANCER Elaine Hunchak, john Pelos BIGGEST FLIRT Lesrer Hull, Rush Carlerri lf ,X .,,f'Y BEST LOOKING Bob Nordstrom, Marilyn McAuley BEST ALL AROUND SENIOR Ted Ivanko, Catherine Ruskay TARDIEST MOST MUSICAL Edna Bergquisr, Wilbur Miller B k Raymond Bouchard, jane a er N . , --f' mn 1 S ,.

Although the record was not so impressive as in some other years, the fighting spirit of the team brought about a successful season. Fairfield's first game of the season with Fairfield Prep at Roger Ludlowe Field showed Fairfield on the short end of a 19-10 score. In the second game Fairfield traveled to Harding's arc-lighted gridiron, with Fairfield again being on the short end of a 25-7 score. Fairfield's score came in the second quarter on a run by Zeke Demshak. Pelos kicked the extra point. After a few heavy practices, Fairfield came through with a decisive 13-7 victory over Staples at Westport. Coming from behind in the last half with touchdowns by Pelos and Lebinski, with an extra point by jack Reskus, Fairfield notched its first victory of the season. Fairfield again proved to be superior as they de- feated Milford by the score of 13-7. Again trailing at half-time, Fairfield came through in the last half with long drives of 51 yards and 83 yards to produce two touchdowns by Dick Nemeth, as Pelos made good on a placement kick to give Fairfield its winning margin. A 13-13 tie with Norwalk at Norwalk in the fifth game gave Fairfield 2 wins, 2 defeats, and 1 tie thus far in the season. Two last quarter touchdowns by Dick Nemeth, along with an extra point by Pelos, enabled Fairfield to tie a strong Norwalk team. Stratford visited Fairf1eld's gridiron in our next game, and were sent home with their sixth defeat as Fairfield emerged victorious 6-0 on a score by a long pass from Ted Ivanko to johnny Pelos. Fairf1eld's final game of the season on Thanksgiving Day with Bassick at Fairfield ended in a 6-6 tie. Fair- field's score in the second quarter on a run by Pelos was later equalled by Bassick to make the 6-6 tie. In closing the Football season, a Sports Banquet was held in which the Lions Club gave trophies to the out- standing player of each team in the Thanksgiving Day game. Fairfield awards went to johnny Pelos for being the outstanding player in the Fairfield-Bassick game, while Franny Lebinski was awarded the Francis Gallagher Trophy for the best all-around athlete of the season.

VARSITY BASKETBALL Coach George Taylor's Orange and Black quintet commenced the 1947-48 basketball season by dropping the opener to Prep, 42-18. In the next contest they lost to Greenwich, 36-32, in a very fast-moving and close scoring game. For their first victory, they topped Stratford, 30-19. In a non-league meeting, they lost to the Alumni, 47-27. In a very one-sided contest, they were defeated by Central, 62-37. Then came the upset of the season as they held back a surging Harding five, to go on to win, 40-34. Then they dropped the next six games, losing to Danbury, Stamford, Norwalk, Bassick, Stratford, and Greenwich. In a very close game Stratford squeezed out its victory by a 40-39 score. The Orange and Black squad was paced by the sharp-shooting of Ted Ivanko and Don Henckel, top men in the scoring department. MEN colours Left to right: S. B. Dean, G Iaylor, J. Gleason, R.

The 1947 edition of the Soccer team proved to be one of the most successful teams to represent the Orange and Black in this sport for many years. Outstanding players were Captain Haydon, John Nagy, Lou Vincentini and Mike Varalyai, supporting ably were Fred Hardy, Robert Hunchak, Arnold Kavulich, john Short, joe Brendel and Al Lieberum. The team showed an excellent spirit of cooperation throughout the season-and were they aggressive? . ...l-1-Q l ,li-. . The Boys' Badminton Club was organized this year to give boys an opportunity to learn this fast and interesting sport. Being a game which can be played and enjoyed long after school days are over, the club members are gaining a valuable interest for adult leisure-time activity. In order to show the possibilities of badminton from a co-recreational point of view, the Girls' Badminton Club joined in the play during one of the boys' meetings. The girls easily demonstrated to the boys that speed and skill are more than ample substitutes for brawn and muscle. SUUUER 1947 lst row: J. Short, M. Varalyai A Mount, J. Reid. 2nd row: Hardy, A.

GLEASON GULF A D UADDY ULUB A large number of boys in the school were either interested in playing golf or were employed as caddies in the various golf clubs of the area. The club was or- ganized to give this group an opportunity to become prepared in either the playing or working categories mentioned above. In our program we discussed the history of golf, golf rules, and deportment of both player and caddy. Charles Petrino, golf professional, spoke on the history of the golf ball and the job of the caddy. Motion pictures of famous golfers in action and the technique of various shots as made by professional golfers were shown. The club hopes to instill a further participation in both the game itself and the job opportunities of golf. lst row: A Sepot, M. Parsons Nelson, S. Godfrey, J. Steiner Wedlock, A.

LIBRARY AIDES The Library Aides are senior and junior girls from the First Honors group who volunteer to help in the school library in whatever capacity they are needed. Each of these girls serves for a two-week period, either before or after school, taking over the desk to stamp outgoing books, file cards, write notices, and shelve books. In addition to this, six of these girls act as library messengers, making lists of pupils for study halls. Others help during study periods in the prepar- ation of new books for circulation. This year fourteen of these girls, in recognition of two years of service, were presented with gold pins in the shape of an open book bearing the words, Library Aide. lst row: R. jakucenis, B.

Bitar, The crew behind the scenes, without whose help the show could not go on, is an organization of fun, excite- ment, and work. This crew has many varied duties to perform before and after any presentations--sen ting the stage, adjusting the lights, setting up the scenery, focusing the spot, and, for certain occasions, getting the mike ready. The members of the crew must be present at all rehearsals in order to become familiar with the play or whatever the program may be. Presentations of the year include Fathers' Club Show, Band concert, Komian play, Freshman-Sopho- more plays, and various school assemblies. Another duty is showing movies to the various classes. For each program a stage manager is appointed who, in turn, appoints a crew to work under him. Assigned positions are given to each member chosen by the manager. Assignments to such places as the pin rail, switchboard, mike,', and projection room are also given.

THE PIA With Miss Kelly as our competent adviser, the Komian meetings were conducted under the following officers: Peter Mount, president, Douglas Stewart, vice-president, joan Foytho, secretary, and Sol Baum- rind, treasurer. The Thespians-Sol Baumrind, Barbara Berch, Har- ry Clampett, Margaret Hasak, Nancy Mofiitt, Dick Nemeth, Douglas Stewart, Eleanor Usinger, julian Wargo, Shirley Wells, and Adrienne Zuger-enter- tained the group with skits, readings, and monologues. In the spring of 1947 the Thespians presented a well- received three-act play, THE ARRIVAL OF KITTY, directed by Mr. Robert Shea. They are hoping to estab- lish a Thespian play as a traditional spring affair. In November the Komian play, THIS GENIUS BUSINESS, a comedy in three acts, was presented. The desire of a middle aged woman who gave up a dramatic career for marriage in order to make geniuses out of her two children made a good plot, The characters were portrayed by jo Brendel, David Booth, Mary Bet Roberts, Claire Robinson, Ralph Tipaldi, Judy Thomp- son, Shirley Thompson, and Janice Weyls. lst row: M.

'l'll FIIX The first activity of the Fox staff, this year, was a trip to the University of Connecticut where the annual Connecticut Press Association meeting was held. This convention is for the benefit of the school papers of Connecticut. There are panels on such factors as head- lines, columns, and advertisements. After returning from the conference with many ideas of improvement, the staff got down to work. First, it was decided that the paper should run a story on the history of some organization or tradition of the school in each issue. During the football season the paper sponsored a contest for a new cheer. The prize offered was two dollars and was won by Billie Stavros, a junior. This was followed in the spring by an anniversary issue in commemoration of the fifteenth year of publication of the Fox, which was originated by the senior class of 1955. Also in March, the Fox sent representatives to Columbia University for the Colum- bia Scholastic Press Association, which is run similar to the Connecticut press meetings. The new staff began work in May. This year's staff included Ann Wakeman, editor- in-chief, Janice Baker and joan Reck, associate editors, Rosemary Freud and Lou Slovensky, sports editors, Mimi Burr, social editor, Ann Shimer, exchange edi- tor, Ellin Smith, business manager, joe Mickett, car- toonist, joan Bender, alumni editor, joy Gustavson, music, and Mary Myer, books. TUIIEN C0 GRE S The Student Congress, possessing the power to express the will and voice of the student body, has, in this school year of 1947-1948, left a full page in the history of Roger Ludlowe High School. Utilizing its three major powers as stated in the ratified Constitution of this student organization, several proposals, intended to better student relations and functions, have been established with the guidance of the officers and faculty advisers. The officers, elected by the students to serve the Congress were Rosemary Frend, president, Doug Stewart, vice-president, and Joan Reck, secre- tary. Mr. Whittaker headed the faculty advisory com- mittee. One of the main features brought about by the action of the Student Congress during this year was the birth of a-Student jury to deal wtih violators of the Safety Patrol rules. This jury has taken the form of a board of seven members-three seniors, two juniors, one sophomore, and one freshman. As early as the second meeting, it was decided that the students of Fairfield High would continue the support of Jiri Vytacil, the European child adopted by proxy, so to speak, through the Foster Parents' Plan for War Children, Inc. The vote was unanimous that twenty cents should be contributed by each student in the school as had been done the previous year. This work has been directly taken care of by the Welfare Committee. Several letters from this adopted boy have reached Roger Ludlowe, bearing his message of grati- tude to the Student Body for their consideration. It was also decided at the second meeting that mimeographed copies of the minutes of each Congress meeting should be distributed throughout the home rooms to be read and posted as soon as possible after each meeting. Another noteworthy action of the Student Congress during the past year was the meeting of a student and faculty committee for the solving of the tardiness problem, which the faculty felt was becoming serious. lst row: J.

Tllllllllll' Ullll UIL On the first day of school in September, after escort- ing the freshman to their classes, the Senior Council held its first formal meeting. The members of the Council had been so excited after the tapping cere- mony in june to think of electing officers, but at this first meeting Tom Haydonlwas elected presidentg joan Herold, vice-presidentg Cathy Ruskay, secretaryg and Ted Ivanko, treasurer. Mr. Roy Briggs and Miss Eleanor Driscoll were chosen to serve as faculty advisers. The first dance, The Corn Shuck Shuffle, was held in the gym in October. On a crisp Sunday afternoon in December the Coun- cil gathered Christmas greens and the next day filled the school halls with holiday cheer. Faculty members were guests of the Council at a tea held in the spring. The Senior Council tried to do all it could to pro- mote school sociabiliry, cheer, and cooperation. 1st row: F. Lotty, J.

At our club meetings we played games, sang songs, and heard records, all in Spanish, of course. In the spring, we made an excursion to New York, visiting everything under Spanish influence that we could manage in one day. The officers of the club were: President, Susan Wyrt- zeng Vice-President, Barbara Grills, Treasurer, Ruth Lang, Secretary, Judy Malin. FUTURE TEACHERS 0E AMERICA lst row: R. Frend, S. Lawrence, P.

A government of the people, by the people, and for the people whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed. The American Creed by John Tyler Adams is known by all Americans. Our beliefs and faith and trust in our land of wealth and freedom are known by many people of foreign lands. We have strived successfully to keep our country on a high freedom level. Other less fortunate peoples are still trying to obtain a life such as we are born to live . . . One nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all. We cannot say that we are not able to display our patriotism for a land such as ours. We can, and must, if we wish to keep the things our forefathers fought so hard to win.You, in small everyday ways, can show the way you feel for your favorite home-America, by promoting activity which benefits you and your fellow Americans.

Social structures have been demolished. By what principles may better ones be re-established? The sources of social justice are neither in force nor law, but in voluntary cohesion. No savage chief or royal king ever attempted to rule for long Without a medicine man to bind the people together. America needs a spiritual revival. The world needs a spiritual revival.
