James McMahon C LASS I-l I STU DY This is station S. H. S., 1942-first on your dial-summarizing events, past and present. But first a word about our product. -5 S-T-U-D-Y spells study-the thing for you! Everyone's raving about its marvelous effect on the mind. lt soothes and brings relief, especially in those crucial moments when you get those contract test pains. Try it, and if at the end of six weeks, you don't feel the difference-double your supply. Now for the highlights. The Freshman Broadcasting Company, which in 1945 will merge with other companies to form the Alumni, has elected officers. They are Ralph Mongillo, Gloria Canganelly, Gertrude McCloskey and Mary Haussler-president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. Miss Dorothea Verrett, whose civics program comes to you daily from this company, is the organizer of the Junior Red Cross. Since that fateful day of December 7th, the members of the Freshman Broadcasting Company have been trying to do their bit for national defense. ln a lighter vein, Mr. Vincent Tisi, a member ofthe board of directors, is the Arthur Murray of this outfit. With the capable assistance of Miss Lauretta Hames they are trying to help us scale the heights of sublime ignorance concerning dancing. The skill of the pupils was demon- strated at the annual freshman social, conducted April lOth. lt was a gala affair and the hall way. gayly decorated. Games as well as dancing were enioyed. Due to an important engagement at the altar, Miss Leah Savitsky has had to leave her pro- gram Science Forum of the Air , in the capable hands of Miss Margaret Hayes. In studio Bl, Miss Lauretta Hames conducts the Voice of Literature program. Softly through the closed door come wafting out bits of poetry- Who touches a hair of yon grey head, dies like a dog . . . The cast portrayed these famous lines beautifully with no coaching from the audience. An interesting sidelight on fashions is the growing popularity of knee socks. How many times has your announcer seen them gracing the legs of our youthful part-time employees? Our last little item of social interest is the many assemblies that have been held in the Music Hall here. They were led by the afternoon supervisor, Mr. Karl K. Tarbell. Ladies and gentlemen, try STUDY tonight! To use it is to love it. For further behind the scene news, listen in at 1943 on your dial under another network. The Sophomore Broadmasting Company presents to you the news of the day. But first a word about our product. HOMEWORK-it comes in the thrifty, economical, easy to-handle size , which takes only a couple of minutes to pass out, but for best results apply yourselves for a stretch of two to three hours. You'lI be amazed at the results! You no longer want to take the day off from work . Your mind is relaxed. You are no longer furtive-hoping for some sort of distraction to come along so your boss won't ask you to account for the work you should have done last night. And now the news. The Quiz Kids , up in studio Cl on the third floor of this pretentious building, are reviewing The Lady of The Lake for the benefit of our listeners. lf you don't mind a pun from the announcer, how much those kids wish The Lady would drown in her Lake , thus ending their mental discomfiture. Mr. William Esposito, that well-known man about radio, conducts a show in studio C3 called People Are Funny , which is exemplified by most of the answers received by the director.. Our fashion column contains this item which may interest the feminine element. Loafers, an all-purpose shoe, are gradually replacing saddle shoes. They're worn at dances, at school, at play-any time at all. This is the most popular shoe that has yet come out. Rumor has it that there is some sort of maniac loose around our company. Several of the male members have appeared with their locks shorn, but to be more specificin terms ofthe modern vernacular, many of them now have what is called the butch or crew-cut . The culprits 24 responsible for this are believed to be from the Senior Broadcasting Company, namely, Freddy Spoerl and Tommy Ryan. The Parade of Sports , which comes to you weekly every Saturday afternoon, contains some familiar names on its roster. The athletes from this system are: Richard Marsden, Walter Wiacek, Louis Murray, William Aiello, Thomas Horesco, James McMahon, Eugene Soukup, Robert Steinman, Russell Haluschak, William Smarz, and Beniamin Wells. One item which l neglected to mention was the officers of Sophomore Broadcasting System, who are: Joseph Mas, president, Jean Gould, vice-president, Ralph Mongillo, secretary, and Richard Groth, treasurer. But before signing off, let me remind you to try our product HOMEWORK tonight for reward- ing results tomorrow. The Junior Broadcasting System, following a precedent set up by other companies, presents to you the inside news of its network. You will hear of some of the latest events and trends. But as usual our product comes first. EFFORT-Have you any on hand? Or are you one of those washed-out, limp characters who lack the necessary pep and vigor? Well, you don't have to be! Starting tomorrow why don't you drop in at the nearest drug store and ask for twelve effort tablets. That's right-E-F-F-O-R-T- effort. After you have exerted this effort, your teachers will marvel at the difference in your work. Who knows, maybe you'Il graduate! So, boys and girls, don't miss your chance to graduate. Exert effort now to achieve the final result. The Junior Playhouse, under the direction of Mr. Norman DeMarco, is presenting well-known classical dramatizations: As You Like lt and Silas Marner. Ladies and gentlemen, if you've never heard Gilbert Grady portray the role of the lover in a Shakespearean drama, you don't know what you're missing. The setting of Silas Marner was changed from Raveloe to Ravioli by the director. lt was more appetizing this way! lncidentally, Mr. DeMarco was responsible for many of the assemblies held in this company, as it was his Oral Expression Club which put them on. A fact which we must face with regret is the departure of the beloved director from our company. ln June when his program goes off the air for the summer vacation, he is going to Massachusetts to another bigger and better company. So to him we extend our heartfelt thanks and best wishes in his new position. Coming to you daily except Thursdays in that sensational new program directed by a new- comer to our system. The program is Hall of Flame and the newcomer is Mr. Stanley Mulak. Physics and biology must have exerted a spell upon the feminine element this year for some reason or other, if the number of women in the radio audience tells the story. A fashion note which is of supreme interest in feminine circles: the All-American skirt and sweater was forsaken one morning for a more arresting attire. It must have been Huckleberry Finn day, or something to that effect, for our young ladies appeared in slacks, iazz-bows, men's shirts and pig-tails. But after a few brief and well-directed remarks made to them by the assist- ant supervisor, they iourneyed home to return again in the regulation clothing. The company went social in a big way this year with its annual Junior Promenade. Admir- ing throngs were in attendance. The hall was patriotically and beautifully decorated in a Star of liberty theme. The crystal stars surrounding the otherwise drab walls lent a sparkle and glitter. Together with the soft colored lights, it made quite a glamorous effect. This station has its own football and basketball teams and this year our rival station D. H. S. was defeated on Thanksgiving Day, 19-6. The boys who play on our teams are: William Aiello, Russell Haluschak, Louis Murray, Henry Rappa, William Smarz, Eugene Soukup, Robert Steinman, James Waters, Beniamin Wells, Walter Wiacek, Arthur Ziegler, Finton Beatrice, Rudy Danowski, Edward Mas, and John Simonetti. The Junior Broadcasting System regrets most sincerely to inform its listeners of the death of the Supervisor of Stations, Mr. Harry Fowler. All mourn his loss and the Senior Broadcasting Company has hung a picture in our main office as a memorial and a tribute to him. The slate of officers that served the System this year was: Joseph Mas as president, Gilbert Grady as vice-president, Jean Gould as secretary, and Finton Beatrice as treasurer. Our next news broadcast will occur at 1945 on your dial. This is the Junior Broadcasting System. 25 Station S. H. S. is presenting the last of the series of inside news broadcasts that have been brought to you by Faculty Products, Inc. The employees of The Senior Broadcasting Com- pany are ioining the Alumni Inc., and other new employees are expected to appear next fall in their places. So, radio listeners, here is our last news broadcast coming to you at 1945 on your dial, entitled This is Our Best by S.H.S. But true to form, l must say a word about our product. Faculty Products, Inc., our sponsors for the last four years, have outdone themselves in enabling us to present to you a new product. Glendon'sBakery is putting out something new in the way of rolls-HONOR ROLLS-try them and taste their rich, delicate flavor. They contain vitamins A and B. You can get them either in the super size of HIGH HONOR ROLLS, or the family size, HONORS, or the pocket size, HONORABLE MENTION. Try these rolls next contract and see how pleased and surprised your family will be. Now for the news. A new addition to the sponsors group this year has been Miss Mary Farrell who teaches Spanish to our employees. The company, in upholding the good neighbor policy, is putting on a Spanish program-but first some of the cast must know a little Spanish. Consequently a club has been formed for the development of their Spanish vocabulary. , Down in Al, The American Forum of The Air , the Reader's Digest has seen much use, while up in C5, the Town Meeting of The Air , there have been some pretty lively debates con- cerning the World Security organization and the treatment of countries such as Germany and Poland. Have you read up on your latest magazine articles and newspaper columnists? Then per- haps you have reached a good conclusion. lf so, mail us a penny post card in care of this station, and let us know your views. A current rumor is going around to the effect that the hit song Accentuate The Positive started in the laboratory situated on the third floor of our honored building. According to Mrs. Simon, the laboratory technician, when there's a surplus of electrons and not enough protons, which you find from the atomic number minus the atomic weight according to the octette theory of two electrons in the first orbit but eight in the second orbit up to a certain valence, you'll have more negative charges which you'll have to eliminate, but you'll have to accentuate the positive in the nucleus . . . Lately many of our female employees have been nursing broken finger nails-typing, you know. We have a good solution: Send us 51.98 plus six cents for postal charges, and we will send you a pair of scissors immediately. Don't forget to include your return address. I think a fashion note will lust fit in here. The girls are sporting silver name barrettes, while Joseph Carlson typifies the current trend among the boys-viz, plaid iackets, loafers, bright socks and perhaps a bow tie. Those who have served faithfully as officers in the Senior Broadcasting Company are: Gilbert Grady, president, William Smarz, vice-president, Frances Cantin, secretary, and James McMahon, treasurer. We extend congratulations to Thomas Dagle and Finton Beatrice, whose conscientious use of our products for four years has won them the highest recognition of the company, that of vale- dictorian and salutatorian respectively. And now on behalf of the employees of the Senior Broadcasting Company and myself, I extend sincerest appreciation to Faculty Products Inc., without whose kindness and assistance this series of programs would not have been possible. From now on we shall be known only as mem- bers of the Alumni. Thus, in the hope that this record will live as a tribute to four years of study- effort--homework--and honor roll, we leave Shelton High School.

After giving a few brief remarks, Mr. Kingsley assigned us to our home rooms. The student body was surprised to learn that classrooms A' and A2 were to accommo- date the entire senior class. We attributed this to the fact that, because of the war, many of the members of this class had left school to ioin the Armed Forces or to work in factories. Mr. Glendon discussed proper school conduct at an assembly held on September twenty-sixth. Under the supervision of the cheerleaders, we practiced some cheers and sang songs. On October sixteenth, an assembly was held for the United War and Community Chest Fund. An inspirational talk was given by Mr. Driftmeyer of the Yale Divinity School. He told of his travels throughout the war-torn countries and of his visits to Prisoner of War Camps. A plea for the local agencies was made by Mr. Glendon. On November third, an assembly was given by the senior history classes. The chief topic of discussion was China. Dr. Willard Beard, a resident of Shelton who has spent the greater part of his life in China, was the chief speaker. Grace Szarka, Sylvia Sanford, and Vilma Cook modeled Chinese gowns. Together with Lois Wilson, Phyllis Thornfeldt, and Frances Cantin, they also sang the Chinese National Anthem. Our annual Armistice Day assembly was held on November tenth. The program opened with the reading ofthe Governor's Proclamation by Jean Rourke. We were addressed by members of the Charles W. Sutter Post of the American legion. Those who represented the Legion were Mayor Ralph C. Booth and Wheaton Wilson. Herbert Emanuelson, State Commander of the Ameri- can Legion, gave an interesting speech on the subject of compulsory military training for boys during peacetime. The Glee Club, under the direction of Mr. Bayley, sang several selections. November twenty-second was a big day for every Shelton High School student-our Turkey Day pep rally was held. The speakers were Mayor Booth, Coach Conklin, Mr. Kingsley, George Quadretti, Zenny Pawflowski, and co-captains Arthur Ziegler and Eugene Soukup. Mayor Booth discussed some of S. H. S.'s past football stars. Coach Conklin stressed the importance of coopera- tion on the part of the student body, in cheering our boys to victory. Mr. Quadretti gave his usual pep-talk and held the audience in a turmoil of laughter. Everyone participated in the cheering and singing which was led by the cheerleaders. We all left the assembly hall in high spirits. The Oral Expression Class, directed by Miss Tisi, presented Norman Corwin's Untitled at an assembly given on December first. A number of songs were sung by the remainder of the class, giving the appropriate atmosphere for various parts of the program. They were Keep the Home Fires Burning, This is Worth Fighting For, The Lord's Prayer, and God Bless America. 34 On December fifteenth, the Spanish Club presented a skit portraying the Spanish observa- tion of Christmas. Dolores Marti, John Simonetti, and Anita Yvars sang Adeste Fideles in Span- ish. Accompanied by Nestor Mengual with his violin and Kathryn Hoye at the piano, other songs were sung by members of the club. At the conclusion of the program, the entire student body ioined in the singing of several Christmas carols. We all carried back to our classes a bountiful supply of Christmas Spirit, Our traditional Christmas assembly was held on December twentieth. A poem, St. Nick Visits the Salesgirl, was recited by Frances Yoia. Eleanor Finer, accompanied by Henry Weber at the piano, sang White Christmas. A verse choir, composed of members of the freshman class from Ferry School, presented three selections, Death of the Old Year, Velvet Shoes, and A Visit From St. Nicholas. As a concluding feature, the members ofthe Oral Expression Class presented a Song Story, The Christmas Idea. Upon the termination of the assembly, we em- barked on a delightful Christmas vacation. Our first assembly after vacation was held on January fifth. We witnessed a motion picture on Canada. This was one of a series presented by The March of Time. A program held in commemoration of the birthdays of two great American presidents was given by the Oral Expression Class on February twenty-first. The assembly began with the pre- sentation of LincoIn's Gettysburg Address by Mary Ogle. Abraham Lincoln Walks at Mid- night and Washington's Birthday were given by a verse choir consisting of the members of the class. Two playlets, A House Divided and The Armstrong Case, illustrated two important events in Lincoln's life. We were happy to see a large number of boys taking part in the pro- gram. An interesting fact to note was that many of them were not actually members of the class, but had contributed their time and talent to help make the assembly a success. -421 1, .

It attempt- ed to cover school activities--assemblies, club news and class notes,-and its editorials tried to include subiects of nation-wide interest which were of importance to the stu- dents. For incidental interest there were articles on fashions and tid-bits about our own students. The FOCUS this year was printed by the Blue Print Company of Bridgeport, and the offset style of printing was used. This style, although it required more work, allowed the use of many pictures and cartoons, and consequently made the FOCUS more attractive and interesting. -J 37 . Q THE FDENCH cum President, Robert Mcleod Vice-President, Edith Ziegler Treasurer, Michael Zaskalicky Secretary, Fred Cotter Adviser, Miss Rulofson At the first meeting of the French Club, which was held in October, officers were elected. lt was decided at the November meeting to hold a series of dancing classesp they proved profitable both socially and financially. A Christmas party was held in December and members of the first year French class were entertained. Additional dancing classes were held in March, to the enjoyment of all. During the spring vacation the French Club enioyed a sight-seeing trip in New York, where they visited many places of interest. Meetings were held on the second Tuesday of every month. Geraldine Gaetz, Maryel Goad, Harriet Orkis and Gilbert Grady were in charge of these meetings. The final meeting of the year was a dinner party held at the Chez Suzanne , a French restaurant in New Haven. THE SDANISH CLUB Since its first meeting in September, the Spanish Club has been very active. Meetings were held on two Wednesdays of each month. Cake sales were sponsored throughout the year, and at Christmas time the Club presented a Christmas assembly at which the popular carols were sung in Spanish. Two ice-skating parties were held during the colder months, and on Valentine's Day the group enioyed a dinner at Rapp's. On March ninth the club sponsored a Spring Dance , and this was very successful. The club enioyed a hot-dog roast at Miss Farrell's home in Hamden on April fifteenth, and the members enioyed themselves immensely. Then, during the spring vacation, the group enioyed a day in New York, and this was the, high point of their year. President, Edward Mas Vice-President, .lohn Simonetti Secretary, Geraldine Gaetz Treasurer, Anna Wysowski Adviser, Miss Farrell THE STUDENT CUIJNCII. President, louis Murray Secretary, Shirley Denny Treasurer, Henry Hine Adviser, Mr. Glendon I This year the Student Council has undertaken many proiects which have been beneficial both to the students of Shelton High Schol, and to our city of Shelton. It is the Student Council's responsibility to represent the classes from which they are chosen as well as the remaining student body. The Council discusses many school problems and solves the difficulties involved. A member of the faculty is present at all meetings, hears and discusses with the Student Council the difficulty involved, but the final decisions are left to the Council itself. The coniestion in the corridors has improved somewhat since rules were laid down by the Council for going to and from the lockers. The Council has been active in school affairs as well. The school newspaper was again printed and put into circulation, by help from the Council, and through the cooperation of the teachers and the students. The Student Council has given aid both to the general public and the various charitable or- ganizations in our community, by campaigning for the Red Cross, the Community War Fund, Easter Seals, and the Tuberculosis Fund, The proiects undertaken by the Council have been numerous and very beneficial to our school. The members of the Student Council h,ope that in the years to come, the Student Council will remain, and be as active as it has been in the past year. STAMID SALESMEN Adviser, Mr. Tyrrell Another year has passed, and from September to June the stamp and bond salesmen have been busy. During the nation-wide drives thisgroup sold war stamps and bonds in the various homerooms, and thanks to their efforts, a total of 54,750.00 was realized. Urged on by the salesmen, the homerooms competed with one an- other to gain top place on the bond list, and this position was captured by the freshmen in D5 in Ferry School, who contributed 5893.65 in the va- rious drives. Congratulations, D5l Congratulations too to the hard working salesmen whose efforts have been unceasing, and congratulations to Mr Tyrrell who directed this group's activities. THE Gllilf CLUB President ...... Kathryn Hoye Secretary Frances Cantin Adviser ....... Mr. Bayley In September of 1944, the Glee Club held an organization meeting, at which time officers were elected and several new members were inducted. Because of the lack of experience of most of its members, the Glee Club did not appear in many assemblies during the year, but at the few assemblies in which its members did appear, their selections were enthusiastically accepted. This group concluded its year of training by singing several selections at the Class Day Exercises, and at that time letters were awarded to Dolores Marti, Kathryn Hoye and Frances Cantin. THE AEIQUNAUTICS CLUB Adviser, Mr. Esposito The Pre-Flight Aeronautics class met at the High School on Tuesday evenings during the year, and was under the supervision of Mr. Esposito. This class offered a study of the principles of aerodynamics, details of aircraft construction, meteorology, and navigation. The group not only used text-books in their studies, but also enjoyed several interesting moving-pictures dealing with the topics they studied.

Ansonia's eleven had the advantage both in weight and speed and the Gaels went down to defeat. Our six points were scored by a sophomore, Fred Brainard 45 WESTPORT 6 - SHELTON 7 This second game was played at home , and was a victory for the Gaels. From the kick-off it was a very fast moving game, and it could easily be seen that the two teams were evenly matched. Shelton's team fought hard, though, and it was a well earned victory. Shelton's only touchdown was scored by Co-Captain Eugene Soukup, and Ray Cicia made the extra point, which proved to be the winning point. ' LEAVENWORTH O-SHELTON 7 When the Leavenworth eleven came to Shelton, they lost a hard-fought game. The Gaels' players were hard put to ward off the many threats offered by the Waterbury team, ahd they should be congratulated on this victory. Harvey Comkowycz, a veteran from l?43, scored the Gaels' touchdown, and Ray Cicia again scored the extra point. , MILFORD 20 - SHELTON 6 Shelton's first league game, with Milford, ended in a decisive defeat for the Gaels, even though they put up a stiff resistance. Milford's team proved much heavier and faster, and they eventually came out on top. Shelton's six points were scored by Jack Fallon, a iunior. COMMERCIAL l8 -- SHELTON 0 This Shelton defeat at the hands of Commercial High was due, in a large measure, to the fact that several of the Gaels were unable to play in this game. The Shelton team did put up a stiff fight, however, and succeeded in blocking several other Commercial threats. NAUGATUCK 6 - SHELTON 0 Shelton's team traveled to Naugatuck determined to return victorious, but were again de- feated. Several Shelton players, who had suffered iniuries in previous games, were unable to play in this tilt, and for this reason the Gaels were weakened considerably. Our team did put up stiff resistance, though, and succeeded in holding the strong Naugatuck combine to only one touchdown. NORWALK 28 - SHELTON 0 The Gaels didn't click very well in this game, and consequently went down to defeat. The Norwalk aggregation had excellent runners, and too, their backfield was much more power- ful than ours . STRATFORD 21 - SHELTON 7 When the Shelton and Stratford teams faced each other on the grid, it was generally be- lieved that the Gaels wouldn't score. They put up a very hard battle, though, and, thanks to Comkowycz's long run, scored one touchdown. Ray Cicia again scored the extra point. Even though the Gaels lost on the field, they scored an important moral victory. WILBY 0 - SHELTON 6 This game, in the first half especially, was not very exciting. For a while, it looked as though neither team would score, but in the second half Harry Comkowycz went over for a touchdown. This was our third and last win of the season. HOPKINS 39 - SHELTON O Both teams had plenty of fight, but the scoring in this game was entirely one sided. Al- though the Gaels didn't succeed in going over , this game gave the Shelton boys valuable practice for their forthcoming meet with Derby. DERBY 0 -- SHELTON O ln the annual Turkey-Day clash, both Derby's Red Raiders and Shelton's Galloping Gaels were determined to win. Neither side succeeded in scoring, however, and the game ended in a 0-O tie. - This game, though scoreless, was very exciting and fast-moving. Both teams were in the pink , and did very much threatening, but neither team was able to carry out these threats.

SEYMOUR 26 - SHELTON I9 ln' a close, fast-moving game, Shelton's boys again suffered defeat, this time at the hands of Seymour team. 48 I I MILFORD 29-SHELTON 15 In the Gaels' first home game of the season, the Shelton men faced the Milford five. They were not much of a match for the aggressive Milford team, however, and consequently the Gaels again tasted defeat. EAST HAVEN 23 -SHELTON 25 ln a close, hard-fought game played on East Haven's court, the Gaels eked out a victory. This was their only victory of the season. WALLINGFORD 34 - SHELTON 17 A fast-moving Wallingford team easily outpointed the Gaels in a league game played on Wallingford's court. The Shelton boys fought hard against the Lyman Hall five, but to no avail. DERBY 31 -SHELTON 18 In a rough game, the Shelton boys were downed by their cross-river rivals, the Red Raid- ers. Russ Batza and Ed Mas set the pace for a hard-fighting Shelton team, but we were fin- ally defeated. LEAVENWORTH 39 - SHELTON 26 The Shelton and Leavenworth teams again faced each other in a return engagement, and again the Gaels were defeated. This game looked bright for the Gaels in the first period, but they were well behind when the final whistle sounded. HOPKINS 46 - SHELTON 25 The Gaels faced the Hopkins combine in a benefit game played on the Shelton court, and our boys were again the losers. The team showed up well in this game, but we were unable to eke out a victory. STRATFORD ol - SHELTON l l The Gaels again faced an aggressive Stratford team in a rough game played on the Shelton court, and they again suffered defeat at the hands of the fighting Stratford five. SEYMOUR 44 - SHELTON 21 The Shelton team fought hard to win this second game with Seymour, but we were again defeated by the fast-moving Seymour team MILFORD 34 - SHELTON 27 ln this second tilt with Milford the Gaels fought hard, and almost took the lead. They were checked, however, by the Milford quintet, and our boys were the losers again. EAST HAVEN 36-SHELTON 34 Before a capacity crowd the Gaels, expecting an easy victory, again faced the East Haven five. Shelton's boys gained a lead in the early part of this game, but became over confident and finally dropped the tilt to the battling East Haven team. WALLINGFORD 47 - SHELTON 39 ln a fairly close battle, the Lyman Hall squad rolled up a second victory over the Gaels, Chas Husti amazed the spectators with his long shots, and Russ Batza and Harry Comko- wycz fought hard for Shelton's cause, but to no avail. DERBY 37-SHELTON 25 Before a capacity crowd the Gaels and the Red Raiders faced each other on Derby's court for their second game of the season, and Shelton's boys suffered their second defeat at the hands of the Derby five. The Gaels, paced by Cicia and Comkowycz, fought very hard for a victory, but lost this game to an aggressive Derby team. ANSONIA 53 - SHELTON 32 Ansonia's five iourneyed to Shelton for a return match with the 'Gaels, and the Lavender men were again victorious. BRANFORD 38-SHELTON 23 In their last game of the season, the Gaels suffered a stinging defeat at the hands of the Branford Hornets. Though they fought hard for a victory, our boys were unable to gain the edge over the superior Branford five. 49 With the best wishes of The Shelton Trust Company tothe Class of 1945 'A' Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.

Setfrelary THE BOOTH 8: BAYLISS SCHOOL IN BRIDGEPORT Offers Unusually Valuable Service in these Important Times Young Men: You are graduating from high school into a set of most unusual world con- ditions. You have more ditlicult decisions to make than other high school graduates before you have had to make. You should train here every week possible before you are called for military service. Five of our Pace Accountancy Course graduates are Connecticut C. P. A. men. YOUNG VVOMEN: You, too, face an abnormal situation. The loss of so many men to military service, added to the tremendous increase in manufacturing, has created a great need for competent, trained office women. Any one of our courses will help you to prepare in the shortest possible time to meet present and future needs. You may start any course we teach in either Day School or Night School any of the fifty-two weeks of the year. Instruction here is personal coaching. Your training will be intensive and thorough: you progress as fast as you can make it. These advantages are most important in these times. A conference will not obligate you in any way. Come in any week-day, except Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., or any Monday or Wednesday evening from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. THE BOOTH 8: BAYLISS SCHOOL A Business Institute Giving Professional Training ACCOUNTANCY AND BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION SECRETARIAL PRACTICE, OFFICE MACHINERY 434 State St. Corner Courtland St. BRIDGEPORT, CoNN. 54 IVifl1 the Conlplinlenm' of THE WEIMANN BROS.
