' E, ,I ,..,, if it 'LE 10- lass Any kind of history varies with age. The older it is the more details are for- gotten. Instead there is a certain per- spective that is always missing when we try to examine the history of today. So it was with recollecting the history of the classfof 1938. Events of the first couple of years had been forgotten -perhaps forever-and in their place were feel- ings. 'Where necessary, the records were consulted to get the names of officers and things like that, but, for the most part, what follows are those things that are remembered: those things that stood out in the four years the class of 1938 spent at Lewis High. The class that arrived from Lincoln into Lewis High School in 1934 were promptly shipped off to four or five differ- ent home rooms. These particular Fresh- men were not very different from any of the others through the ages. They acclimated themselves as well as pos- sible and made no important contribu- tions to Lewis High. Their class functions were limited to electing officers and at- tending the Freshman reception. The officers were as follows: President, William Neal: Vice-President, Marion McGar: Secretary, john Folcik: Treas- urer, Lawrence Mucci. That class of 1938 passed their Freshman year as best they could trying to keep themselves out of the limelight. In june they received their first dose of finals and left for the vacation. That September the class of 1938 re- turned to find themselves taken for granted. They were not old-time Seniors, Wonderful juniors or Brand-new Fresh- men. They were just plain Sophomores. So, of course, they tried to make up for this anonymity. They paid more atten- tion to their officers: to wit: Catherine Cook, President: Arthur Ferrucci, Secre- tary: Florence Ingelido, Treasurer: Miss Shorey, Adviser. This particular class iszfo ry had always wondered why there was a Freshman Reception every year. Now they found out that it was to show off, even to Freshmen. They did: November l-5. But the class as a whole did nothing much that we can remember, this year either. Life went sweetly by and left them nothing much but work. So, again, when june and Exams were over and done with they were not so terribly dis- appointed. However, that September while trudg- ing up old Academy Hill the glorious Class of 38 suddenly realized that they were somebody. Gosh, that was a won- derful feeling. Why, the new Freshmen and Sophomores were looking at them. Inside they found that they occupied only two rooms. Everybody knew every- body else and it was easier to work to- gether as a class. Officers were elected as follows: President, john Folcik: Vice- President, Arthur Ferrucci: Secretory, Catherine Cook: Treasurer, Martha Owens: Adviser, Mr. john Rathbun. Then there was the junior Recital. The performers all showed that they had put a lot of work in on it and it must have been a very difficult job for the judges. Those chosen were Lawrence Mucci and Bette Dudzik. Each received 55.00. Then the junior Prom. This was probably the most important event to date in the history of the Class of 38. After that there was just a little time before vaca- tion and then-Seniors. Every year before this everybody had looked forward to summer vacation. Now, though, they suddenly realized that there would be no more Lewis High School for them after this year. They actually began to hope this year would not go quite so fast. Alas! This year passed with more speed than the China Clipper. Activities came thick and fast. lt is very easy to remember them. At the first class meeting, presided over by Y Page Eleven President Francis Kuchta with William Neal as Vice-President, a finance com- mittee was elected. This committee suq' gested a cake sale, which turned out to be the biggest ever given in Lewis High COctober 285. The money thus earned was used toward a Thanksqivinq Dance. Then the Senior Play, DottY and Daffy, a great success-a fine piece of work by everyone. Then there were pictures for the class book to be tended to. And since March, Treasurer Edward ,sr cl-1RoNlcLE 1+ O'Shea and Secretary' MariOIiG C0014 had been trying to collect Class Dues. Finally the Class Book Committee WCIS appointed and here the history' must end. However, by using imagination, we can see the coming Senior Dance, Gradua- tion, Class Night, and all the final Good- byes. Soon all will be History. May the Class of l938 live on! WILLIAM NEAL. Class Poem As we come to the end of our last year For each and all we shed a tear For we know it's time to part And on our own we all must start. So before we say Adieu Here's a glimpse of each of you. ..,.. Betty Greg and Toni Are quite dignified We're glad that for these four years We've had them by our side.

LOTS O'DON N ELL FRANCIS KUCHTA to Mr. Chairman, Members of the Board of Education, Mr. Superintendent, Mr. Principal, Members of the Faculty, Parents and Friends: It is my great privilege to welcome you here this evening on behalf of the class of 1938, and to thank you for the educa- tional opportunities that you have pro- vided for us, and for which we are truly grateful. Many cities and towns in Connecticut the last few years have been celebrat- ing the three hundredth birthday of our State. lt is amazing how little thought we give to our history until something like a Tercentenary brings to our minds that our State, too, is famous for many things: that in our State, too, many memorable things have happened in the past, and are still happening. Connecticut should be more to us than just a piece of land that fills in the space between Rhode Island and New York. We should take pride in her history, not just on special occasions, but keep it constantly before us to spur us on to greater things: for she has been impor- tant in the building of our nation, and must keep her place as a leader in future building. I should like to refresh your memories for a few minutes by pointing out to you a few incidents and places of historic Connecticut. A great writer recently said, They are always having picturesque things turn up in Connecticut. For instance, did you ever hear of the story of the Amistad ? The Amistad was a slave ship that had brought a cargo of Negroes from Africa to Havana. Here some Spanish planter bought the cargo, and the slaves were to be carried in the Amistad to his plantation. When the Negroes got the chance, they turned Sczlutazfory the tables on the Portuguese crew. With the blacks now in command, they steered North. They knew North meant freedom, and continued their course until a revenue cutter brought them into a Connecticut Harbor-New Haven. The Connecticut farmers received these slaves, but when President Van Buren heard of it, he began to take steps to make the slaves return to Cuba. A great trial was held of the whole Southern Crew and the Negroes. The day of the decision came and everybody voiced the same question: Are the blacks to be set free? But fate certainly played into the hands of the Negroes. On the night before the decision, one of the leading Southern judges died of apoplexy and the balance of the court was changed. The fifty-three black men were set free, and their children are free men today in the valley of Congo. Who has not heard of Putnam's Wolf Den in Pomfret? The farmers in the Pom- fret district had been having trouble. From time to time, sheep had been dis- appearing, and finally these thefts were traced to a vicious offender-the wolf. This could not go on. The farmers had heard that wolves once frequented this region, and they made up their minds to kill this one. His living quarters, they soon found out, was an old den, not far from their farms. Israel Putnam or Old Put volunteered to go into the den to kill the wolf. The farmers made ready to witness the death of their enemy. A rope was tied about Old Put and he, with his gun, was lowered into the cave. Should he fail to shoot the wolf, the farmers were ready to pull him up before the wolf could attack him. But Old Put was successful, and the wolf would no longer molest the fa:rmer's sheep. Many peoplenowmake their homes in Pomfret, and take pride in this historical land- mark. Page Twenty-three Greenwich, Connecticut, boasts of a Revolutionary Tavern of quite unusual interest. Lafayette and Washington are only two of the people Wl'lO HlCICl9 if famous by passing by, or stopping there. Now, automobiles by the hundreds rush by and passengers still stop in for re- freshments at the Putnam Cottage Tea- room. The Newgate Prison, located in East Granby, some miles beyond Simsbury, dates far back into history. lt was first made into a prison from an abandoned copper mine in l773 and named after that dreaded place in London. Newgate, as a prison, was always more romantic than secure. Trying to keep wrongdoers there was like carry- ing water in a sieve. Prisoner after prisoner escaped. Men tore their blan- kets into strips, wove them into ropes, and hauled one another from the murky depths. Tools were improvised from bones to dig tunnels through the sand- stone rocks. ln spite of these escapes, Newgate gained the reputation of being one of the strongest prisons in the country. A few years later, N ewgate was made into a government jail for prisoners of war. Prisoners continued to escape and to disappearg wild and romantic fiction was written about them: and finally, when Wethersfield was made the state prison, Newgate was permanently abandoned. The Whitfield House in Guilford is the earliest house now standing in Connecti- cut, and it is believed to be the oldest stone house in the United States. This house is regularly open to inspection and attracts many sight-seers every season. ' The Whitman House located in Farm- ington is the last of the three original seventeenth century houses. lt stands today, as it did in l66O, without paint or ornament, yet as fine and lovely in line as when it was first built. Since houses of this kind are few, it is easy to see why our State is proud of this beautiful relic of its early days. Page Twenty-four T -..ltr cl-1RoNlcLE Jw- The Ioseph Webb House in Wethers- field is of great interest to many people because of the fact that the CCf1'I1pCfign which resulted in the victory' at York- town was planned there. We must not forget to mention the Old State House in Hartford, now restored to its original architecture, a truly beautiful building. I ' Yale University was the idea of the early settlers in the New Haven Colony. lt had been their ambition for a long time, but they believed that Harvard was sufficient to supply the needs for higher education for a while. By the end of the seventeenth century, however, it be- came clear that there was room for an- other college and as a result, Yale was founded. lt first began its existence in Saybrook with one student, but it grew rapidly and was transferred to New Haven in l7l6 and was renamed Yale after Elihu Yale, who donated money and books. Early in the nineteenth cen- tury, professional schools were organ- ized in connection with the college, but it did not become a university until l887. There are now in 1938 ten profes- sional and graduate schools in addition to the original Yale College. It is interesting to note that even before the founding of Yale, a law school was established in Litchfield, Connecticut, the first in the United States. Many famous people lived in Connec- ticut. Nathan Hale, the great American soldier and patriot was born in Coven- try, Connecticut, and was a graduate of Yale University. Mark Twain, famous author of Huckleberry F inn and Tom Sawyer, lived in Hartford, and his home is visited daily by school children. Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of the great book Uncle Tom's Cabin, was born in Litchfield, Connecticut, and made her home in Hartford. Amos Bron- son Alcott, the father of Little Women, was born in Wolcott, Connecticut, and began his career there as a Yankee peddler and a school teacher. 'K 5 Exif . .

Who but a Cori- necticut Yankee would have thought of hiding a charter in a tree? The charter, believed to be the original one now hangs in the office of the Secretary of State. The oak tree on the lawn of our own Lewis High School is an offspring of this famous parent tree. The Tercentenary Committees have unearthed many other historical facts, too numerous to mention here, but I am sure that their work has tended to make the people of our state more Connecticut- minded than ever before. May we always cherish in our hearts the noble history of om' great State! CATHERINE COOK miuszfffies of Connecticut Essay by FRED BAUER Mr. Principal, Mr. Superintendent, Members of the Board of Education and Faculty, Fellow Students and Guests: Since the majority of the Class of 1938 will this night go forth from the shelter- ing walls of Lewis High School into the world of business and industry, I should like to tell my classmates something about the inception and growth of Con- necticut industries. Although agriculture has always oc- cupied a prominent place in Connecti- cut life, manufacturing early began to outstrip the farms in material productiv- ity. Since Connecticut's agriculture is less important, I shall dispose of that first. Because of the fertility of the soil of the Connecticut River Valley, the first settlers were lured into the state. How- ever, in the first century and a half, nearly all land outside this strip proved to be rocky and not very good for inten- sive agriculture. The cultivation of potatoes was not extensive, being con- sidered as little more than cattle food: small fruits were likewise treated and were used in the brewing of Appleiack which formed quite a profitable occupa- tion for the enterprising Hartford Coimty farmers. In the early colonial times Connecticut Park was considered the acme of quality and economy. The early Connecticut farmer, I am sorry to say, was not very kind to his land. The prac- tices of continued planting without fer- tilization and the lack of crop rotation rapidly depleted the soil until it was gradually turned into pasturage. This gave rise to the dairy industry in which Connecticut excelled. Connecticut dairy products were sold extensively all over the eastern seaboard. Nowadays, dairy- ing is a highly specialized division of agriculture, in which at least three- fourths of the state's farmers engage. An early attempt was made to en- courage the raising of hemp in Connecti- cut but it soon died out. The tobacco industry, however, began to outstrip all others in the return of wealth to the farmer. Progressive methods of culture brought about the production of the world's finest tobacco, a distinction which Connecticut holds to this day. A decade ago the acreage was halved, yet Connecticut continued to produce thirty- five million pounds of fine tobacco an- nually. ln closing this account of agricul- ture, I must not forget to mention that famous product of Connecticut ingenu- ity, the wooden nutmeg. And now we come to the manufactur- ing industry. Almost as soon as the first settlers came to Connecticut, the manu- facturing industry began in a very modest way. From these beginnings, Page Twenty-five thanks to the poorness of the soil and to grinding necessity, the manufacturing increased rapidly. The mineral deposits were worked extensively, and iron and copper were produced in abundance. One of the first industries l find mention of is the distillation of the spiritus fru- menti commonly known as gin. lt ex- ceeded in value all other exports. The center of the industry was at East Wind- sor. Tanning, cabinet-making, tin work- ing, woolen fabric weaving, harness making and iron fashioning were quick to spring up. The tin and hat trade thrived since materials were imported and little power used. h Since all statistics and accounts of in- dustries seem to begin after the advent of the nineteenth century I shall begin my account at that period. The manu- facture at this time of metal products was becoming more and more important. The pay at the time was extremely low. Farm workers seem to have had the more favorable wages. At New Britain, Philip Corbin, the founder of one of the world's greatest hardware concerns, began work at fourteen dollars monthly. During his rise, he brought about many progres- sive reforms in manufacturing. The tinware industry seems to have started in our neighboring town of Berlin whence it spread to Meriden and Bristol. The surprising thing about the industry was that it employed more men in sell- ing the article than in making it. At first the tools were obsolete but l remember counting in an old History of Southing- ton, close to seventy-five patents granted to Southington men on tin-working articles. One of the early Connecticut Yankees, Ierome by name, improved clocks, in- stalled brass works in them, and by mass production, if it may be so called, reduced the price to the reach of every man. A British commission was amazed at the Bristol clock works. Astonished at the low price and excellent workman- ship, the British government made a con- tract to buy all clocks shipped to Eng- Page Twenty-six -,si CHRONICLE PW' land at the invoiced price plus ten pei' cent, but they soon gave up the contract when he began pouring clocks into the British market. The world's greatest brass center in Waterbury is a proper testimonial to the memory of the Scoville brothers who in l834 entered the business with two part- ners and built it up rapidly bY Th9iT energy and teamwork. A contemporary of theirs and co-founder of the great New Britain hardware industry, Frederick Stanley, started in the very modest way of making, of all things, suspenders. The name of Collinsville became known throughout the world for the ex- cellence of the axes produced there. In 1818 Eli Whitney, inventory of the cotton gin, and a man whom Connecticut may remember with pride, invented a machine which has later become indis- pensable to all machine industries-the milling machine. This machine itself re- volved, instead of the metal being worked, and enabled small parts to be manufactured exact to gauge. This machine was shortly turned to the use of rifling pistol and rifle barrels. This gives rise to the subject of the manufacture of fire-arms in Connecticut. Connecticut, it seems, has always been of prime importance in the manu- facture of arms both for the defense of the nation and for sport. Cannon were cast in Litchfield for the British govern- ment and later for the use of the Con- tinental Armies. The development of the Connecticut munitions industry would be a story in itself. The gigantic Heming- ton plants in Bridgeport bear witness to the man whose father once refused a rifle. Samuel Colt, another Connecticut man, invented the repeating pistol. ln the middle of the last century Colt's fac- tories at Hartford were the acme of effici- ency. The estimate was that only twenty- five percent of the work could be attrib- uted to human labor. Other small arms plants at New Haven and Middletown helped to make Connecticut important in this field. -.F -:FE ng? gr. if I I it N but ,W ...M n ith.. fb ,, F37 4, ,k it , iw Q , f'3N t'f: IE'-T' -is-V., 7 1 rf: f,-3.-nz' 1 ,ir U fa STE ,ff-'ri-sr',,,,,1.4 57? r Eg: . ,,, t fm'f f. CHRONICLE yr . At first the manufacture of arms as- sumed no greatest contribution to man- kind in the field of making fire-arms was the fact that it introduced the machine- hades into industry as a whole, without which our highly efficient industries of the present day Could not exist. In this account I must not forget the place Southington has occupied in the industrial development of the state. Southington has had the distinctive part of being the seat of two industries- namely, cement and bolts. In 1829 the first cement mill in the United States was established in the eastern part of the town. the ruins, pits, mill ponds and water courses are still there. Visualize, classmates, the long lines ot ox-wagons crossing the valley to Waterbury or Middletown, laden with cement. The first bolt factory was established here at an early date. Copper mining was carried on in a modest way in the eastern part of the town. In closing, we must not forget the debt we owe to the men whose ingenuity, foresight and courage has placed Con- necticut in her unique position in the nation. To Ierome, Howe, Whitney, Colt, Corbin, Stanley, Remington, Fitch, Win- chester, the Scoville brothers and many other illustrious men, belongs our ever- lasting thanks and reverence. To the State whose interest in industrial prog- ress and in fostering invention and in- itiative made their success possible- eternal love and devotion! aledicto ry SCENIC' BEAUTY IN coumacrrcur My two classmates have told you of the early industries which sprang up in Connecticut and of the places of historic interest. I would like to picture for you, or rather let us visualize together the scenic beauty of this great state. Scenic beauty in our State? you question. Yes, of course, you say. But your thoughts fly at once to the Grand Canyon, the Rocky Mountains, Niagara Falls, the valley of the Shenadoah and the Great Smokies, and the Golden Gate. How does little Connecticut compare with these? You are skeptical. Professor Odell Shepard of Trinity College, Hartford, author of the book Pedlar's Progress, a biography of Bronson Alcott which this year received a Pulitzer Prize, says, We know that if the entire globe should suddenly shrink to one millionth of its present bulk, we should not feel any difference, because it would still be a fully furnished earth. lust so is Connecticut, though small, fur- nished fully as a stateg for she possesses all the radiant beauty of which the human mind is able to conceive. Her beauty and her exquisite panoramas are unsurpassed. She contains in miniature all the beauty spots of our country. Let us begin with our mountains. I'll grant they are not as high as the Rocky Mountains, or as precipitous as the Grand Canyon, but we do have our gorgeous mountains just the same. What mountains could be more beautiful than our own East and West which bound our own little community? Are these not priceless treasures to behold? Because they are not so vast, they are friendly rather than awe inspiring. From the summit of Meriden Mountain talso known as the Hanging Hills of Meriden? one may see across to Long Island Sound to the south: and to the north, as for as the hills of Massachusetts. Artists have been known to say that they can more easily capture on their canvas the landscapes of Connecticut than those of Page Twenty-seven any other state. I would like to quote Marie Dyer O'Neil's poem about the Hanging Hills of Meriden. Like maidens at a sky blue pool, The naked hills bend free To see their faces in the lake And preen in vanity. But prim white clouds are coming fast Those naked hills to cover, For shamelessly upon the lake They're dancing with each other. Does Connecticut have water, that element so necessary to make a land- scape charming? She is rich in water scenery. True, we haven't a Mississippi or a Nile, but we do have a Connecticut, a Naugatuck, and a I-Iousatonic which give added hours of pleasure to travel- ers. We haven't a Lake Placid, but we do have Lake Bantam, Wauramaug, and numberless other lakes which give pleasure to artists and to any other seeker of beauty as Well. We may not have the Zambezi Falls or the roaring Niagaras but we do have a lovely falls in the western part of our state, Kent Falls, a spot of rare beauty. Near by we have Bearing Brook. The ravine of this brook is not only a beauty spot but it is also of interest to the geolo- gists. Because of the peculiar formation of the sandstone it is known to the geolo- gists as the Great Unconformityf' Such a relation between rocks as exists there signifies a long period of time Cgeologi- cally about 325,000,000 yearsl. Inciden- tally, there are quite a number of places around our community which interest geologists. A professor of geology at Harvard has made frequent trips with his class to the Meriden Mountain. Another contributor to Connecticut's charm is the wonderful shore line. F ew states have a shore line like ours. Connecticut is beautiful in all of her seasons. One who migrates south in winter misses the enchanting call of a New England winter. Ushering in the springtime, we see such harbingers as Page Twenty-eight -is-if CHRONICLE W the apple blossoms, peach trees, and the dogwood. We catch glimpses of the doq- wood in very obscure places of God's garden-sometimes a rosy pink and other times appearing snowy white. These harbingers are only a reception to our state flower, the laurel, which is also found dispersed in nature where it seems to look its best. Indeed, in all its forms, whether tall or short, pink or white, it is a welcomed stranger. Nature is more bountiful in her display in certain regions and has lavishly supplied Win- sted with laurel where it abounds. Win- sted, as you probably know, is called the Laurel City. These and other spring flowers enrich Connecticut. Our state forests and parks give rise to beautiful landscapes. In summer the green forests are a soothing sight to the eyes, and again in fwinter when they are capped with snowt protecting nature in her slumbers. Another influencing factor in Connec- ticut's charm is the elm and maple lined streets. No other state is so richly en- dowed in trees. Coupled with these tree- lined streets is the charm of the old vil- lages. Litchfield, for example, is one of the most beautiful in all New England. One of the marvelous things about Connecticut is that it possesses all these scenes of beauty within a close range of each other. One can see examples of all of them in a single Sunday afternoon drive. Few states can boast of this. Those who must live in cities may refresh themselves with little effort by indulging in the beauty Spots which this state offers. What I have said or what others may say will not suffice to do the scenic beauty of Connecticut justice. I have shown you that Connecticut, although comparatively small, still has its gor- geous mountains and its sparkling and enticing rivers and lakes. I am sure you will all agree that Connecticut would be a prime contender in any beauty con- test among the states. I hope that my words will make you more alert to the I V rest squarely in the these four p to be in ,of Lewis High and be ever faithful to the sound prin- ciples which it has engendered in our minds and hearts. By so doing we will be able to look the rest of the world Cas our great state does? squarely in the face and will be able to go out into this world bravely, and successfully overcome the complex problems of this complex age. ' Farewell, . LAWRENCE MUCCI Senior? arewe!! P Ah, Classmates, the time has come When our school life is run: We've been four years together Through pleasant and stormy weather. Now, friends, we must part Each one in this world to make a start. Later, may our hearts be gladdened by Pleasant thoughts of Lewis High. Old companions now we lose: New friends we must choose. May they prove as fond and true, Asthosewehad'neaththebannerblue. Ohl the sadness of the parting On graduation day: Time is onward fleeting: Soon we'll all be far away. Yes, far apart we'll wander, Perhaps never more to meet, And we'll often sit and ponder Of pleasant times on Academy Street. Ah yes, the saddest time of the year ls parting from old friends dear. T.
