To you the people of Stamford we gratefully dedicate this year book of 1954 Our gratitude goes deeper than the obvious and the commonplace lust saying thanks for financing our education is only part of what we mean We know you have provided schools that rank among the finest in the nation Far more than financial support has to :deals fair mindedness vision and the courage to see thmgs through all these have made their contributions We are grateful for your sincere concern with our welfare as well as your generous provision for our growth As we take our places among you we shall try to prove ourselves worthy of your efforts, and to carry on the rich educational heritage you have bequeathed to us In our Stamford schools made them so, strength of purpose, devotion to civic duty, dedication IVE . . . we will wan- der many times in the years to come. We will remember hard work and good times, rewards and disappointments, for we will never forget SHS. For 3 years we have been part of the school, for the rest of our lives the school will be part of us. We have poured our lives into the life of the school until our pulses beat in time to its rhythm, and the school in turn has taught us all its many lessons, les- sons of how to learn, how to think, howto live. We have studied hard at Stamford High. We have crammed our heads with facts and figures until sometimes we thought they would burst. But we have need of knowledge wherever we go and whatever we do in the highly specialized world in which we live.. We played hard at SHS, and at the same time we learned that there are more important things than winning. We threw xi fi i ivwgitr ., in ,NI 21 X . ,,.Yr.

But these same social events did more than iust give us a wonderful time, they taught us the poise and ease and social graces we will use for the rest of our lives. And, of course, we had our school council. ln the council we had a chance to practice self-government, not iust read about it. While we took our ideas and forged them into solid pro- grams and saw them take shape as council proiects, we learned the skills which living in a democracy de- mands of us all. ln Stamford High School we were taught not only to learn, but to do, and not only to do, but to think. We did not always realize how much we were learning. Our growth was too gradual a process, too much a matter of doing a certain day's assignment, of playing a par- ticular game, of working on a spe- cific committee, for us to recognize its size. But we did grow: we came to the school young, and completely inexperienced, and unprepared, we leave it ready to go and make our way in the world. jyayx, its 51, it Even though we grew very, very much in SHS, we never stopped having fun. No matter where we were or what we were doing we were able to enioy our- selves. Probably the good times we have had here will be our clearest memory in years to come, certainly it is the memory of our three wonderful years that is up- permost in our minds and hearts as we turn the page and begin our stroll Down Memory Lane. nior erry .

This is the Junior Class speaking, bringing you a re- broadcast of the past ten eventful months. The class election is iust over, the votes are all in. Congratulations go to Bob LePore, our new president, Earl Ekdahl, V-P., Donna Dud- ley, secretary, and Mary Grace Franchina, treasurer. Now we hear the melodious voices of Domi- nick Uva and Atala Hogan, accompanied by Ellen Almond at the piano, as we play host to the new sophomores at the Junior-Soph re- ception. Bunny-hopping and watching a group of girls from Phil Jones keeping time to Love is the Reason helped us all have a wonderful time. With the tang of tall weather envigorating our Junior boys, we found ourselves well rep- resented on the football team Among our shmmg stars were Joe Dastolu Olanzo Lucas Sklp Neuwlen and Fred Padgett Our own Bernlce Vlttl Rochelle Herman Louise Rellly and Shella OToole were our valuable con trlbutlons to longer and louder cheering 1954 started wnth a rmg a Class of 1955 rmg We ran around frenzledly trying to de clde our choice of slze shape and color and atter the rlngs were all finally ordered we set tled back eagerly to awalt their arrival We were not disappointed Soon many a lumor was seen frantically waving a hand and cry Ing Have you seen mme? ln February we pald court to cupld and all gay young lovers by lnvatlng the entlre school to our smashlngly successful Valentine Dance lumor representahves On Aprcl 24th the announcer broadcast rave notlces ofthe previous mght s lunlor class play where our own guys and dolls had given us all a wonderful time Then came the biggest event of the whole year the dance of dances the Junlor Prom We stepped out Into a gym that was a heaven of tulle and sllk and satnn studded with the sparkling whlte of summer tuxedos But the prom was all too short and as we went back through the receptson llne we realized that we were saymg goodbye not only to our teachers and advisers but also to our whole lunlor year Now we must sugn oft wuth this years his tory Stay tuned to SHS next year when the Class of 55 wnll again make hsstory as It marches down memory lane lst Ro Left to Rght J Noble G Pa lo sk: E Ekdahl R Lepore D D dley M Fronchmu G Carlo C Moore 2nd J Yel D Delaney C Sherman C Copan H Heft E Ca lucc J E ans J Barth 3rd R M DeMalo R LaDestro R laBella M Lo reno F Cake ell W Sable G R z 107 ' I 1 1 1 - 1 . . . . . . 1 1 1 - - 1 . . . . . . 1 1 ' . . . . . . - ' I . . . . . 1 1 1 - 1 ' 1 . . . . . . . . . . . - I , - Il ' . . . , . , . - . . . . , . . . . . . if .I E J 2 t fi i . , P 1 1- f ' A - - Y ' - 5 ' 1 c .

Jean O'8rien, Sec. Olivia Hardvall, Treas. class of 1956 Edward J. Lapinslm Jane W. Kingston The very latest model vehicle to go honking its way down memory lane was a bus loaded with new students, the Class of 1956. The in- experience of its drivers was more than made up for by their enthusiasm, and the bumpy road ofthe beginning soon smoothed out to a super highway as the sophomores became true and loyal sons and daughters of SHS. Of course, at the beginning everything was a little strange and very big. We found out about the elevators, the swimming pools, and the fifty-six inch television sets from our trusty junior guides, but with their help for perhaps in spite of itj, and with the help of our trust- worthy Pilot Wheel, we did find out how to get from class to class. Soon we no longer had time to get lost, there was too much to do. First of all, there was the Junior-Sophomore reception. We were presented to top-brass administra- tors and welcomed by our frnendly class ad vlsers Mrs Jane Kmgston and Mr Edward Lapmskl We made many new friends and we learned that even lunlors are human Then came our class electrons We chose Tom Paaso as our president Ted Farfaglua as second In command Jean O Brlen as secretary and Ollvla Hardvall as money counter They all worked very hard to make our sophomore year a success One afternoon In December strains of mu src and laughter were heard as the Class of 56 held its Chrlstmas party With the happy crowd In the gym and our new green and whrte banner on the wall we found ourselves with real class spmt on our hands We literally took a formal bow In March with the presentation of the sophomore play Sally Takes a Bow The large sophomore cast starring Vlrglnla Pastore Michael Ackerman and Make Beluk was assisted by sensors Joy Vlolette director, and Frank Noxon stage manager By far the biggest event of the year how ever was the Sophomore Hop In May We wlll never forget the transformed scene an what we scarcely could believe was usually our gym naslum on that maglc night of our first bag hugh school dance Even though next year and the year after that our bus wlll bump merrily along the lanes of SHS we know that we will never take an other trlp quite luke that one of our sophomore year sophomore representahves lst Row Left to Rlght T DePompa G Cornero B Ralph C lotz 2nd Row O Hardvall B Curto P Ames C Bird 3rd Row F Nato L Rader M Vlgglano J OBr en L Dawson E Vnolo C Burns A Jaeger S Swift G Tlbbetts 4th Row V DePreta N Fillmore J lewls C Krohn W Mentrllo . . .

Lay- out, photography, art, literary work, typing, biographies, subscriptions, advertising, and coordination-all these were obstacles which we found, tackled, and surmounted in our work. The first iob in creating a yearbook is deciding how much of what goes where- in other words, layout. Mr. Myers brought to this task not only considerable natural gifts, but also that skill which comes only with years of experience, as well as many hours of hard work on his own time. A yearbook needs pictures, our photog- raphy staff, headed by Charles Krohn, pro- duced photographs Life could be proud of. The art staff, capably directed by Mr. Mayo Sorgman and by our very gifted art editor, Joan Mary Bassarro, provided those little sketches from life that will make the year- book lively even when its pages are yellow and its print illegible. A yearbook is read, too, and the iob of making ours readable fell to the editorial staff. Under the capable direction of Mrs. Jane W. Kingston, the staff wrote, the re- write committee rewrote, and the editors edited, and in spite of the deadline, which seemed to us to make a trio with death and Director taxes, the yearbook was ready on time. The typing committee, chairwomaned by Doris Gostomski, took care of typing each story to measure at least three different times. Long hours of pounding their ma- chines and valiant struggles to decipher legible? handwriting earned them special credit. The biographies were the responsibility of the biography committee, directed by Miss Constance Spahr, and by chairwomen Ellen Dichter and Elise Rosevelt. In spite of students who claimed to have no activities, no peculiarities, and no interests, they turned out for each senior a biography of which he could be proud. A yearbook has to be paid for. Mr. Jaiven's advertising committee sold enough ads to defray much of the cost, and Miss Spahr's yearbook agents took care of sell- ing the book for the remaining part. All these iobs had to be coordinated, too, that task fell to the yearbook director, Les- ter J. Myers, and to his two coordinators, Bill Berman, and Carol Kaszas. Tackling a myriad of tasks, from counting type to track- ing down missing persons' pictures, they bound together the efforts of all of those who, in composing, illustrating, and financ- ing Our Golden Years, gave their best to make the story of our travels on memory lane a truly fine piece of work. Every Tuesday we heard the solemn words, Meeting come to order, as the Stamford High School Council, a very important leader on our trip down memory lane, settled down to work. The council had a lot of business to attend to. Remem- ber the posters and speeches in the May campaigns and the inauguration ceremonies in September? Surely you haven't forgotten the football dance, or the crowded gym echoing with enthusiastic cheers as we held our pep rally the night before the Thanksgiving Day game? Our School Council was really a happy family of committees. The steering committee took the wheel at council meetings, its members discussed and evaluated questions before they were brought up in a meeting. The finance committee decided what was to be done with all our millions, all fiscal matters were referred to this committee. And, of course, our school year could not have been complete without lst Row, Left to Right: R. Oeser, A. Brooks, S O'Toole. 2nd Row: W. Perez, R. Clausing, F Paaso, C. North, C.

All these committees did an outstanding iob. These big brothers in our council family had many little relations. One was a committee which, with tacks, hammers, and imagination, created canteen dance decorations. Another set out to stir up interest in basketball, still another obtained our bright class pennants, and a sister committee supervised printing the Alma Mater. There were the kind souls who edited the Pilot Wheel, a true blessing to newcomers to SHS, and there was the cafeteria committee, which, like all the other parts of the council, helped bring many improvements to our school. We will always remember the advice and guidance given us by our advisers, the adult members of the council. We want to say to them as to the whole council, Thanks for the memory. - 1 2 i l P P' -'x F in J' f' I Yi?-lx'i'?,'0l5'7'! nip-Q TV? f l' ,mfr l, ,FC-,i,j,Zfr,v 1- ' sag -'rv' 4' ' Q, 2 1 J 0 ' r .J T V f J ,J7 F957 ' tr wr 17k'-lifes: 2 I If l f' f V a'QQs 'LFf,f4- f f!gf?',S?i 5iQ51f9 rv X! rj.: ,,,,J.,s' U19 DS'-vf'ff'Qf3 f' if 1.

We first met the '53-'54 orchestra at the senior class play, where it expertly serenaded us between the acts. However, we will perhaps remember most clearly the beautiful music of the combined orchestra and choir. No radio listener who heard their benefit performance for the Christmas Seal drive will ever forget the mov- ing power of their music, every student who saw their magnificent Christmas program will always remem- ber their beautiful renditions of our favorite Christmas songs. Mr. Randall deserves a fanfare for the outstanding way he organized, trained, and conducted the or- chestra. Praise, however, should also be given to the young Heifitzes and Rubensteins who provided the orchestra's unforgettable music. as 64 x i I 1 T . : f T 1 1 I QAGH IQ, J' snnrono CONN The SHS band was always on hand when our spirit needed a boost. Present at our annual football rally, the band with its bright new hats helped to set Stam- ford onthe lane to football victory. Strutting down the field on Saturday afternoons, or on the Friday nights of the night games, the band with its cheerful music helped us keep up the spirit which won the Waskowitz trophy. Under the expert supervision of its adviser, Mr. Leon R. Corliss, the band added color to the half time scene as it skillfully went through all the compli- cated drills without missing a single or a half note. Think back iust a moment longer, do you hear the last strains of the High School Alma Mater dying away, just as they did when you heard the band play them on that very special Graduation Day? The Stamford High School band will play its way down our own memory lane for many years to come. --, '. bi-f'.. .i ,T NJ -f-.N-uf-'xr TA,-r '41,-.,, , I I Y .Jyvifrf-5j.f,ff,i, ., . fvf:s,92526Pii5m1f1 -L0K7i9Z'k'1yf?1,-n9l':fx'1C ff?-3445 ' ,qf.-.are-4vrQL,f5x2j,5p3,451 YQ, 'fx ,- 4, +?f,f3,:2aF2?4,4':,9lg, -Quik I- ..-,. -,,..4.,.,-.

Among our numerous, hard-working committees were the Pen-pal group, which kept us informed of news from abroad, and the never-tiring program committee, which arranged for our speakers, films, and panels.

During the year, homework, marks, and prom dates often distracted our minds from the problems of this modern world. But, at least once each month the Political Science Club gave Stamford High School students a chance to expend their excess energy at seeking solutions for those problems. Speakers, films, panel discussions, and good, hot arguments con- tributed tothe Poli Sci members' aware- ness of the world. With a gentle but firm hand, Mr. John political science Dunn succeeded in guiding club activities down worthwhile paths. He was ably as- sisted by Jerry Sullivan, president, Robert Glick, vice-president, and Phyllis Wein- stock, secretary. The Political Science Club progressed stead- ily toward its goal of brushing away the cob- webs of international intricacies and making clear the significance of world problems.

Zdano- wicz, and guided by Bill Nilsson, Russel Doane, Lucy Wallace, and Donald Sabia, the embryo Einsteins explored many of the various provinces in the everchanging realm of science. Scientists, as well as men in semi-scientific fields, gave talks to the club on their respective specialties. Movies demon- strated visually many of the new developments in and basic principles of modern science. The club also made field trips to local industries to see science at work: Machlett Lobora- tories and American Cyanamid Company both provided guid- er tours as memorable as they were fascinating. 130 speakers bureau Stand up straighten open your mouth wider and ar- ticulate clearly, keep up a pleasant facial expression, and look at your audience please! These familiar phrases helped to make us tip-top speakers and brilliant conversationalists. After studying how to be the master of good speech, we really put our self-confidence to the test. We ventured out from the sheltering walls of SHS and presented speeches to the Service Clubs of Stamford and surrounding communities, where we spoke for the support of such worthy causes as the Red Feather Campaign and the Christmas Seal Drive. We also shared many a tense moment waiting to go on the air over WSTC to present sketches or spot announcements. Our enthusiastic teacher and guide, was Miss Barbara Kane, whose patience, understanding, and fine sense of hu- mor made our oral excursion down memory lane a truly en- ioyable one. ht Row, left to Right: A.

The performance was excellent and enjoyed by everyone, for our Sarah Bern- hardts and John Barrymores were the finest in the class. In March, we met the new sophomore thespians in their presentation of Sally Takes a Bow, a one-act play. In the spring, the juniors brought forth their production to top off a very successful year on the SHS Broadway.

What value is it to us in later life? Ask any member of the Walter J. Farrell Math Club and we assure you of a complete answer, graphed, equated, or, if you prefer, dem- onstrated by a formal proof. At the beginning of the year, math was an extraneous product for us-a weird subject, used only for solving 5x I lO. Soon, however, when we found how stimulating the subiect could be, we formed a hypothesis that math was very useful and applicable in the business world of today. Our hypothesis became a theory as we saw provocative movies, took interesting field trips, and heard guest speakers lecture on the subiect at our meetings. We found the field was open to further exploration, even our advisers, Mr. Conlon and Mr. Stecyk, learned something new when the elec- tronic computer was demonstrated to us. Under the capable leadership of our Chief Einsteins, Steve Myers, William Nilsson, Judith Levine, and Sanford Ros- en, we came to the conclusion that math is fun. Now we calculate that, aided by memories of our stimulating Math Club discussions, we can hold an intelligent conversation with the real Mr. Einstein, himself. ll :.-1- 5 , fi , l i l Under the capable I guidance of its adviser, s , t A Miss Enda Riordan, and , of its new officers, Tom Schiller, Fred Newton, .loan Weise, and John i Blase, the German Club found a little Strasse leading off mem- ory lane. The street was brimful of Ger- Thomas Schiller S 4 X I man customs, we started off with Christ- mas in a Ratskeller, complete with beer steins, leather shorts, and singing appren- tices, we concluded with a picnic at the beach. Stories of life in Hannover were freely offered by Miss Riordan, as we learned of the customs which make up the life of the average German. Also, 1 . through Frau Ehlers, our last-year's ex- change teacher, we started correspond- ence with students in Hannover and com- pared their problems and ways of life with ours. All this made a wonderful back- ground for learning German, which we did to varying degrees. And, probably, when most of our grammar and vocabu- lary knowledge will have faded, we will remember how we learned to sing Warum Es lst Am Rhein So Schon, and Muss lch Denn, and to understand our German brothers.

The members of Le Cercle Francais enjoyed another successful year, presenting many enioyable special events and interesting regular monthly meetings. With us this year were four students who were acquainted with the customs of France. Susan Wofsey, Dalia Prekeris, John Wier, and Steven N-' Myers spoke to us in French about their experiences, illustrating their talks with films about Europe. l Our Fete de Noel will long be remembered by the membres, ik l who laughed heartily at the original skit by Greta Feldtmost. Spring l brought our traditional fashion show to raise money for a Care package which we sent to France. Yes, one of the byways we will traverse on memory lane will surely be the rue des memoires of Le Cercle Francais. 138 Judith Levine el circulo castellano l l' ' 5 . r 2 g 1 - I 1 ai, J .Q lst Row, Lett to Right: S.

Then you must have been one of the students who met every month in the Spanish Club, conducted en Espanol, naturally, by President Judy Levine. At its meetings, the club presented intriguing programs, such as the -1-is - talks given by several Spanish born students. Then, too, there was the . high-light of the year, the annual Christmas party. To the Fiesta de los Reyos, the feast at the three kings, came sixty Spanish students. The ,P '-Ae'-, socios sang Christmas carols, and broke a pinata, bringing down a 0 Q rain of sweets on heads whirling from laughter. .P Miss Anita Murray, the club's faculty adviser, deserves most of the T credit for making El Circulo Castellano one of the most popular and enjoy- ,mi able spots on memory lane. 139 Veni, Vidi, Vid, - every second Thursday ofthe month, under the command of president X sf' Sheila Tulk, we came, L 5, - we saw, we conquered.

Echoes of the past filled the room as we unearthed many of the ancient customs and tradi- tions of Caesar and his cohorts. Then, with our minds packed with the rich classi- li ,1 t iunior classical league cal knowledge, we would go to the teach- ers' cafeteria to consume with delight literally heaps of rich food . Our traditional Christmas party bal- anced the religious and the jovial as we listened to tales of the Roman Saturnalia, the Jewish Chanukah and the Christian Christmas celebrations both here and abroad. Under the guidance of our new spon- sor, Miss J. Bibiana Stark, the Junior Clas- sical League will forever be a highlight on our iourney down memory lane. President, K. Beaugrand, D, Prekeris, M.

The next step was a fun-packed pizza party held at the home of our teacher and il circulo italiano adviser, Signor Raoul d'Este Palmieri, Ill. After a wonderful exploration of his home, we munched pizza pies in his yard. Soon Christmas-time rolled around, and we celebrated with a party held in 242. We all enioyed singing well-known Christmas carols in Italian and listening to our president bringing tune after won- derful tune out of her accordion.

Their aspirations ran high, as the choir's fine record O .Q in competition has proven. ,W , . lr I? 1 No contests were necessary, however, for the chair W' 'lkvgl to win a first place in our memories. We loved it for its xgsufqui Christmas music, both in concerts and in corridor sere- 11-7' gi nades. The choir identified itself in our memories with the I il Ft I U Q school songs, since it introduced the Alma Mater to the school, and it endeared itself to Stamford citizens through its concerts, radio programs, and recordings. Mr. Randall and Miss Pfeiffer, whose skilled direc- ,. tion once more proved their excellent musicianship, -' ' taught the choir to harmonize not only with its own chorals, but also with our ideal of what a choir should be. .s 1' x , - . 7 - p. -4 5- -5: :.'

For quite a few of the girls in the senior and iunior classes, the hub of musical activity was the small audi- torium, where the Junior Choir met to practice every clay of the week. Declaring themselves independent of male assistance in their vocalizing, these melodious mesdemoi- selles raised their alto and soprano voices in song. Those who wanted training for the A Cappella Choir, those who wanted to sing for the sheer ioy of sing- ing, and those who wanted the companionship of other music lovers, ioined together under the direction of Miss Elfrieda Pfeiffer. The choir sang at Stamford Hall at Christmas time, and in the school assembly during Music Week. Now, when we stroll down memory lane we can recall the soft voices of the Stamford High School Junior Choir as a gentle musical accompaniment. J'! There was a new organization at SHS this year- the Stamford High Honesty Society, which had been or- ganized at the end of 1953 by a group of students who felt it was the duty of the student body itself to eliminate cheating. This year, the program of the Honesty Society con- sisted not of actions, but of study. The group investigated similar organizations in many other high schools, and found, particularly in the experiences of the Scarsdale High School Honesty Committee, also organized by an aroused student body, a mine of helpful information. The Stamford High School honesty society is as yet an incomplete structure, but in years to come we may find that while we were in High School the foundations were laid for one of memory lane's most important and imposing public works.

Led by Mr. John Baggs, the council provided the means for obtaining necessary athletic equipment, and assisted in estab- lishing a solid financial foundation for sports. lt devoted attention to such matters as athletic contests, transportation for team members to out-of-town games, physical ex- aminations for all athletes, the football din- ner, athletic awards, and sport-participation insurance. It is no wonder that the council will remain outstanding on our lane of memories as an invaluable friend and ad- viser of SHS sports. 148 Joh -5 . by K 3 twirlers In their smart black skirts, handsome orange jackets or white sweatshirts, the twirlers were a welcome sight at all the football games.

And that first game was just an intro- duction to a wonderful season and to an out- standing team, which, living up to the tradi- tions of its predecessors, went on to win the Waskowitz Trophy, the symbol of the state championship.

The rest of the games were played dur- ing the daytime, but the other teams might just as well have not come out till after dark. The Black Knights romped through their games as though the football field were their own private iousting-ground. ln a senior assembly, coach Paul Kuczo accepted the Waskowitz trophy on behalf of the football team, a team which he and his assistants, Mr. O'Meara and Mr. Lockery, had made one of the very best. At the annual football dinner, trophies were presented to the whole varsity squad to honor their exceptional effort and ability. At the annual football dance, the whole school honored our football heroes, who had brought the flag of victory home to flutter proudly along memory lane. l5l f 5 ,x 3 -gi if ' lx xl: 1 vl,j if I I 1 --but 3 I at J, Walter C.

Some boys tumbled on the mats, and others leaped at the chance to high iump. Then there were the less strenuous classes when we square- and ballroom- danced with the girls from across the gym. ln the classes at the Jew- ish Center, young amphibians used the quiet water of the pool as a substitute for the pounding surf of the Florida beaches, while those who preferred dry land played basketball, worked out on the rowing machine, practiced body English bowling on the Cen- ter alleys, or did setting-up exer- cises as pinboys. The intramurals, however, were our real chance to get out and play. Although the big three, foot- ball, baseball, and basketball, were probably the most popular, there were intramurals in iust about every sport we could de- sire: soccer, badminton, ping- pong, and volleyball. Even the devotees of the manly art of self- defense could punch their way through their favorite sport. Al- though we had to work hard on memory lane, we had plenty of chances to play too. girls' sports Game-set was a familiar cry in girls' gym all during the school year. Sometimes it meant that we would drag our limp bodies off the badminton court after an ex- citing match, sometimes it meant that we would rest our flapping wrists after a close game of ping- pong. Always, however, it meant fun. For those who did not want to try their skill as racqueteers, the girls' athletic program provided other opportunities, too. Those who liked to swim could dunk themselves in the Jewish Center pool, those who didn't could be- come striking experts on the Center alleys, or tennis and bas- ketball champs in the gym. And, of course, any really energetic young athlete could try her hand at intramurals. Young Robin Hoods let fly with bow and ar- row: young Rangers let Hy with puck and hockey stick. Our fe- male first basemen took up soft- ball and catcher's mitts when the baseball season rolled around. Hockey, badminton, soccer, ping- pong and basketball playdays with girls from Norwalk and Greenwich also presented sports- minded girls with the opportunity to participate in athletics. In Stamford High, there was not only a sport for every girl, but there were girls for every sport. 1 , Hiring ,-,4 , If I 1 ff 14 4, fi , f e ca T r ' : , .

Nowadays, just like these famous cartoon characters, more and more real, live celebrities are getting out their mail with Pitney-Bowes postage meters. Check our list of interesting customers and you'll find the well-known names of many of your TV, film, radio and record favorites - people like Bing Crosby. Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, Eddie Fisher, Dorothy Lamour, Lou Costello and Perry Como, to mention a few. Check, too, when you step into your first job, and chances are you'll find that your employer is among ll' QE P1TNEY-BoWEs, the scores of thousands who stamp and seal their mail the PB way. For today, in small-size as well as big- name business, the postage meter is fast becoming as common as the typewriter and telephone. You can say, in fact, that the made-in-Stamford post- age meter stamp is already an established American institution. now accounting for nearly half of all U. S. mail. Another reason why Pitney-Bowes is one of Stam' ford's most interesting industries.
