Xb' f ral Softball 3, 4, Intramural Volleyball 3, 4, I 25 CLASS HISTORY I am the bust of Teddy Roosevelt. For many years I have lived on the corner next to the office in Simsbury High School. Below me hundreds of students have passed every year, and I know many secrets. But the students about which I would like to tell you now are those of the class of I95O. This story begins on a September morning in I946. For weeks I had rested in silence upon my perch, then one day many boys and girls burst into my home. I recognized most of them, but there were several new faces - 79 in all. These were the new freshmen - scared and confused. For the first few days I saw more than one freshman go into the office with the familiar complaint, I'm lost. Gradually they gained confidence, and one day they all filed into Study Hall, where they elected class officers, under the guidance of Mr. Henebry who proved during his four years as their class advisor to be an able organ- izer and a real friend to them. They closed the door so I couIcln't hear what was said, but I heard the news later. Norman Mainville was chosen to be president, Paul Stumpf, vice-president, Harriet Dunning, secre- tary, and Chester Miskill, treasurer. They started right to work, too, giving a food sale in January, and a dance in April, and sponsoring the Red Cross drive in March. Filled with sorrow at the thought of coming back in the fall they left for the summer vacation. School had started again and I noticed a group of students who looked vaguely familiar. Well! It was those freshmen of the year before, but looking so much more confident and at home that I hardly recognized them. Having chosen their class officers the year before, with Tom Clark as president, Tom Berberich, vice- president, Janet Decker, secretary, and Michael Dlubac, treasurer, they were ready for their first class meeting. The year started with the ordering of class rings and the sponsoring of a food sale. Among other activities, they gave a St. VaIentine's Day Dance, and conducted another Red Cross drive. At the last meet- ing, class officers were chosen as usual, and everyone was prepared for a vacation. There was something for them to look forward to now, however, and this was the fact that from now on, they would be upper- classmenl Spending two and one half months on a pedestal with nothing to look at is very dull, but September came, and there among the happy students was the class of '50 looking very ambitious. James Temperilli was president, Henry Kane, vice- president, Janet Scheidel, secretary, and Mike Dlubac, treasurer. There was a lot of talking among the iuniors and I overheard them voicing their intention to win the plaque. They gave a Thanksgiving Dance, and tried a new idea, selling Simsbury High Hats. I didn't see the Variety Show they gave for the Mile of Dimes drive fwhich incidentally broke all records as they collected nearly Sl6Ol but according to all reports it was en- thusiastic if not refined. Having made the year a financial success they gave the Junior Prom as a treat to the school. They went into the red, but it was a glorious social suc- cess with a magnificent orchestra and extravagant decorations. It was agreed by all but a prejudiced few fthe other three classesl that it was the best dance ever given at Simsbury High School. Summer was nearing and they voted to send Frank Passini, Henry Kane, and Bruce Weston to Boys' State. To Girls' State they chose to send Harriet Dunning, Janet Collier, and Diana Martin. Losing the plaque by one point was disappointing, but after choosing class officers and the yearbook staff they were hopeful that next year would be their big year. It wasn't until late June that school closed for the summer, and the future senior class members left for what would be their last high school summer vacation. Only a few months ago I remember them filing enthusiastically into the study hall for their first time as bona-fide Seniors, and it was impossible not to notice the changes they had undergone. I could tell by their determination and spirit of cooperation that they would have a successful year. Because of the exceptional job he had done, James Temperilli was re-elected class president. Raymond Fraser had be- come vice-president and Dorothy Hall was elected secretary. Michael Dlubac was again put in charge of their fabulous treasury. Henry Kane was made chairman of their Harvest Dance which featured among the decorations a Scarecrow smoking a cigar, and also at this meeting they chose Alice Babbitt to plan the social hour. Helen Kelly and her committee ran a Christmas card sale to defray expenses on the year-book. This proved to be a big financial boost to the class, largely due to the effort of the committee. The Senior Play, Honor Bright , with Mr. Miele directing, and Miss Covert supervising make-up, was a big hit. From my perch I have heard tentative plans for the Senior Prom and Banquet after which the class of I950 will be iust one of the many to have graduated from Simsbury High School. The Yearbook which they edited and called The Half Century was bigger, better, and less expen- sive, than the yearbooks of any previous classes. This may be attributed to the cooperation of the class of T950 as a group, the yearbook staff with Janet Collier and Henry Kane as editors, and the able advice of Mrs. Beechinor. Although it causes little plaster-of-Paris tears to flow down my cold cheeks and over my moustache when I think that I will never see the 1950 Seniors again, I feel proud knowing that later in lite they will think sometimes of Simsbury High and me. THE END Bruce Weston Marilyn Toof Harriet Dunning Barbara Nielson CLASS WILL AND PROPHECY Be it known to all persons, that we, the class of T950 of the Town of Simsbury, in the County of Hart- ford, in the State of Connecticut, do hereby make, publish, and declare this will and testament, combined with the optimistic and unrealistic prophecy of our class in years to come, to be the last and final state- ment of the class of 1950.

BASKETBALLX As it opened the season with four straight victories, Simsbury High maintained its winning status of previous years. How- ever, the next three contests proved disastrous when Sufield, Bloomfield, and Ellsworth beat us in closely contested games. After these defeats we again climbed towards the top with six consecutive victories. We were stopped once more as Portland edged us in an exciting overtime period. By stopping Suffield 54 to 47, the Blue and Gold quali- field for the Class C tourna- ment. Bloomfield, the only team to beat us twice, handed us our fifth defeat of the season. This was followed by another loss at the hands of a strong Thomas- ton array. With a successful season be- hind them, Simsbury High's hoopsters hope to give a credit- able performance in the tourna- ment. ' In , J A J If i VARSITY CHEERLEADERS J. V.

J . .x - .' ai.: IZISQ Bolstered by six members of the present Senior Class, Simsbury High completed one of its most successful seasons in the local history of the sport. Starting our season with numerous practice games against higher class schools, we ran up an impressive string of victories. We began the regular season with an extra-inning game against La Sallete. lt took a belated rally to rack up our first victory 7-2. The supposedly strong Farmington array gave us little opposition, as we rolled up an 'li-'I victory. The leading hitters were Pete Avery with four hits and John Dennis and Jim Temperilli with three apiece. Our next opponent proved a little tougher with Skip Messenger and Jim Temperilli driving in the deciding runs of a 3-'I victory over Newington. In our next outing Beans Kane twirled a decisive one hitter, as we drubbed Glastonbury 'l5-'l. Berlin gave us our first real scare as we eked out a last inning 8-4 victory. Behind Ray Fraser's brilliant shutout over Canton, Simsbury racked up its sixth straight victory 'l-O. Walt Mitchell scored the only run. Suffield proved an easy victim as the booming bats of the Blue and Gold slashed out a 16-'I victory. John Bogus' sparkling defensive work at shortstop saved the day as his relay from left field stymied a potential Bloom- field rally, in our 3-2 win. We added more gray hairs to Coach Henebry's head as we lucked out a 5-4 decision over East Hampton. Walt Mitchell's clutch pitching preserved a lead established when Skip Messenger scored the winning run on an infield grounder by Lea Hutchinson, after the tying run had been balked in. -HMM Boone ..4-,jx . 2 , - 5, w 1. L.: . S3122 3 Q.. s-. sub-at z knoll It was a wet, cold and dark day at Portland, in more ways than one, as we were knocked from the unbeaten circle by a score of 5-3. Simsbury's brilliant battery of Stocinis and Mainville combined to produce a close victory over Farmington in an air tight game. Stocinis hurled a three hit shutout as his battery mate scored the winning run of a T-O victory. This was followed by a 9-3 win over Windsor Locks with Pete Old Reliable Avery collecting four hits. In winning eleven of twelve contests the talented Blue and Gold array became Co-Champions of the Connecticut Valley High School Conference for the second time in three years. Chosen as one of two schools to represent Class C in the State Tournament, Simsbury justified the choice by going to the semi-finals. Although no official recognition was given, Simsbury would appear to have a strong claim to being state champions among the smaller schools. In the tournament we were first pitted against a strong class B Killingly team. The game was climaxed by George Mainville's base clearing double in the last inning, in which we scored five runs to clinch an 8-5 victory and a shot at the semi-finals. ln the next game as in the first, we were plagued by errors which cost us a probable championship. Woodrow Wilson beat us at West Haven by a one-sided score of 'll-5. lt would be difficult to single out any individual or BEANS qpzfchangy SHS Bug: luv-A gg., , L I es, , 1 t' 'i '5D re' lISK'Pll -,.. .v .Y . .,.,..,.... .jr cw.-. .-7-7 .
