Which are the sounds one can hear now ? The graduating class of 1955 has its ears tuned to the sounds of the future-the shuffling of many feet passing along the corridors of colleges, training schools, schools of nursing, factories, banks, perhaps the military tread of the armed forces. Perhaps when now is the year 1975, their ears will hear the sounds of the past, and they will again hear in memory the sounds of classroom bells, trudging steps along the corridors, the faint sweet singing of the choir in the distance, a mighty -I1 cheer in the stadium for some heroic feat, or any of the C other sounds which mean Stamford High School to them.

There is probably no period in one's life so productive of this effect as the years spent in school. The theme of your yearbook, You Can Hear It Now, arouses different thoughts in different individuals. The sounds in classrooms, cafeteria and on playing fields come back to some of you. To others, music of choirs is still heard. To many of you spoken words of teachers and counselors will be recalled with the passing of the years. As you repeat You Can Hear It Now, my wish is that all of you may look back with real pleasure to your days in Stamford High School.

Hear the hearty congratulations our newly elected junior officers are receiving. The four capable classmates chosen were Joe Lewis, Virginia Pastore, Mariorie Gray, and Alba Malizia. Remember the shrieks of laughter that emerged from the gymnasium during the fall? We, as big brothers and sisters, played hosts and hostesses to the new members of the high school family, the sopho- mores. The reception was a rousing success, new friendships were formed and old ones renewed Can you still hear those strains of Do Sl do your part ner 'P How could anyone for get the colorful Junior Barn Dance where scarecrows and pumpkins blended with an at mosphere of clapping hands and swinging promenades' Do the exclomatnons of ohs and ahs asyou recelvedshlny class rings early in the fall still re echo In your memory? JANE W EDWARD J KINGSTON LAPINSKI . ,, - .- - ll I r n V u ' ll ll Il ll ' A ' Y Y I .1 - t 2 , .. L, ,151 i T- l J gl What about those wild cheers with which you supported the terrific iunior athletes? Because of Bob Horan, Dom Lacerenze, Ed Mazurek, Laurie Levon, and many others, there was every reason to be enthusiastic. We were represented on the cheering squad as well with Alba Malizia, Carol Lotz, Mari- lyn Tomczyk, and Grace Gillespie. In the spring came the class play, Life With Mother. The storming round of ap- plause which was given to our bright stars, Beverlee Raymond and Peter Kennedy, confirmed the success of the presentation. At last came June . . . the soft swish of dainty formals . . . muted tones drifting slow- ly through a transformed gymnasium . . . snatched bits of conversation . . . we can still hear them as we recall the long-awaited, most breath-taking event of our year, the Junior Prom. The clock struck twelve, we heard many sighs, our second golden year had almost drawn to a close . . . a year full of happy sounds and thoughts for all, a year we shall always remember.

Now we overhear earnest students mak- ing next year's resolutions: to do their home- work regularly, to pay more attention in class. Soon the voices stop, however, be- cause after all who heeds these fast-made, fast-lost pledges. Actors-to-be are gathering in the audi- torium, and we hear the mingled voices of our stars: Bob Hawthorne, Eleanor Cava- naugh, and Pete Sutheim, as they rehearse for the sophomore class play, l Won't . i Q. S U :iii ed. fi 2 Dance. Now the audience is applauding loudly, everyone is congratulating all in- volved in a memorable performance. Once again came the lilting melodies as the band beats out the rhythm for the big- gest social event of the year . . . the Sopho- more Hop. After a delightful evening, we can hear sophomores and guests thanking their chaperones and saying good-night to their weary but happy friends. SHS is almost silent now, the echoes of our sophomore year are almost gone, but listen carefully . . . for you can hear them now. 1 f 5 ,BEGIN ft ,5- fiw W: 'V -M. 43' .11 fir gi vi Row, Left to Right: K.

To you, that band symbolized school spirit and comradeship. It was a band skilled in spirals, letterforming, and other colorful maneuvers during the half times. Its music gave you a great surge of pride whenever you heard it at the football games, at the annual rally, at concerts, at play productions, and even when Santa Claus came to town. That same band went to Nauga- tuck, Connecticut, to perform for the schools of that community in order to help their town form a fine band such as Stamford High's. Yes, the band played a maior role in your three years at SHS, and left you with musical memories for many years to come. 127 sophomore choir lst Row Left to Rlght D Goodwm B Nrlsson S Romanos B Kulowlec J Graves R Wexler E Cavanaugh G Baslun E Meehan J Melfl L Benlamrn V Malbon 2nd Row A Sclgllmpaglla C Romanlellr C Walker B Coughlrn L Crawford B Cappablance F Raymond N Jansen P Beardslee M Popp 3rd Row D Fagan D Panrchella L Troy M Jackson C Ralph E OLeary H Glnyard A Crane N Gnancola C Blarr M Fortm A Morrn M Prscrtelll J Passaro 4th Row Leon R Corlrss M Edmonds A Franco .I Galasso W Frrtz C Arrottl R Rahmlow .I Blume D Sprllane M Nlzzardo R Armustead S Vltale M Atterbury The final notes of our Alma Mater were heard at the close of each sophomore assembly as Mr Corllss led those fifty one talented sophomores They tuned theur vocal chords In preparation for the many programs on which they appeared Their voices arose at the band concert held In March, and on graduation day they blended with the A Cap pella Choir, blddmg a harmonious farewell to the Senior Class girls' choir 'Ist Row, Left to Right: M.

HUBERT MINTZ President You can hear it now, echoing through the corridors, vi- brating into the classrooms, and penetrating the hearts of the students-the voice of the A Cappella Choir giving a musical meaning to our three years at SHS. You can hear the harmonious echoes of the Alma Mater, the merry reveling of Christmas carols, the fanciful melodies of the annual spring concerts, and the last cherished strains of the graduation ceremony. The happy sounds crescendoed in a climactic ending when the Connecticut Music Association held their choral festival in Hartford. The millions of beautiful musical tones will bring to mincl our golden memories. a cappella choir HMM' pilot wheel With the opening of school each year come the inevitable sounds of bewildered sophomores. How do you get to Room 362? asks a trusting little sophomore. The directions he re- ceives from the kingly upperclassmen include taking the first right after the swimming pool on the fourth floor. His problems are soon solved, however, when he acquires the much needed handbook, The Pilot Wheel, a publication sponsored by the School Council. He becomes acquainted with the personnel, the extra-curricular activities, and the student code for good manners. The Pilot Wheel contains the ever valuable floor plan, school rules, and explanations of all school activities. With this dependable guide at his disposal he is able to steer a straight course through the halls of SHS. SHElLA O'TOOLE President Ist Row, left to Right: B. Vitti, S. O'Toole, A. Malizia, C.

We can hear the familiar phrases - Enunciate more clearly! Look at your audience! Be careful of your 'a'! - numerous helpful hints which have made us better prepared to enter the world of public speaking. Our first chance to prove that we had learned our lessons well came during the Red Feather Campaign. Factory workers became further acquainted with SHS students and listened intently as we ex- pressed the needs of Christmas Seals, March of Dimes, and Heart funds. Throughout the year we have devoted our services to many worthy causes, and always we have tried to act as praise- worthy SHS representatives in serving our community. 133 HUBERT Ml NTZ Co-chairman . :fr REGINALD NEUWIEN Co-chairman farrell math club Headed by Joan Winters, John Weir, Winnie McGuinness, and Marian Darling, Math Club members visited the industries of Stamford to see the practical everyday application of mathematics. Under the helpful guidance of Mr. Conlon and Mr. Stecyk, we learned how to master the intricacies of the slide rule. Prominent speakers came to SHS to talk to us about the uses of math in their particular fields. And wonder of all wonders, the mysteries of an electronic computer were revealed to us as we sat listening and watching in awed silence. After a year at the Math Club, although none of us were able to find the square root of minus one, we gained an understanding of math in every day life. lst Row Left to Right L Sanders, M.

Under the capable guidance of Miss Edna Riordon and ofticers Rolf Sivertson, Carl Braun, Rosemary Engel and Anika Tormet, the club enjoyed a year repleat with interesting activities: regular meetings, an annual fun-filled Christmas party, and the perfect ending, a June picnic at the beach Perhaps the most notable achievement of the German Club was the establishment ot an exchange program between Stamford High School and a German school in Hanover, Germany. Friendly inter- change of ideas and materials built one more step toward brother- hood and world peace, goals we all always hope to achieve. cleutscher verein ROLF SIVERTSEN President 3 2-uuubwmmh . . - e s 1 Xt!

However, the whipped cream on our sundaes of good times was our memorable Christmas party. Here we found ourselves enthralled with stories of the old Roman Saturnalia, of the Hebrew Feast of Lights, of our own Christmastide customs.

The year progressed, and with it came the opera, the pizza, and choppy stutterings falling into smooth, flowing lines of audible Italian. As Christmas drew near, our gavel pounder, Ralph La Destro, led the caroling. The most resounding notes, however, came from our excellent Signor Raoul d'Este Palmieri II.

SANDY ROSEN international relations Heard throughout the school was the constant re- minder of our duty as Americans to help youngsters less fortunate throughout the world. The keynote of this tune, sounded by the IRC, was the policy of Striv- ing Toward Advancing Relationships. Much happy talk centered around the ideals and customs of our mutual correspondents, the stu- dents of the Helena Lange Schule in Hanover, Ger- many. Dominating the classrooms was the busy hum of workers as they packed the clothes of IRC STARS to be sent overseas. Inspired by Sandy Rosen's unique ideas, and di- rected by Mr. Edward Kovacs, Stamford High School took its place as a GOOd INTernational NEighbor. 146 iv n 1 Rx 6 x figs! 1 X -5550 ' . a rf - -rf. 9? it . - 'Q vc ,S ' o..., HR xy N Tiigi .. so al ROBERT DALY The staff behind the movie screens and recorders were the thirty-five volunteers of the audio-visual aids group. Having had previous training in the mechanical field, or having been trained in high school under the direction of Mr. Matson, these students devoted their free time scheduling equipment for the various depart- ments, recommending film purchases, and supervising the machines. They often spent their afternoons and evenings exploring their hobby and, worked in the evening for the Adult Education classes. The group executed such proiects as the recording of the morning exercises, the German club and the Brotherhood programs.

All problems, ranging from chewing gum to the sale of bus tickets, were approved by the clearing com- mittee. Gala affairs, such as the pep rally, the canteen dances, and the football dance and dinner, were spon- sored bythe social committee. Pleasant and profitable changes for next year's cafeteria were studied by the cafeteria committee. Another main subdivision, the safety council, was primarily responsible for solving many of the traffic problems. As the year progressed, its sounds symbolized a system by which we, as students, faculty, administra- tors, and custodians governed ourselves in our daily tasks, in an effort to better ourselves, our school, and our community.

Drosdek snatching at ball Orlinski takes to the air Orlinski set to sink one Many cheers were heard coming from the largest crowds in SHS basketball his tory as our basketball team launched upon a tremendous season. A high-light of the season occurred when the Black Knights, playing before a record crowd, tossed up a victory over Roger Ludlowe High School with a score of 63-61. Without the professional guiding hand of our coach, Mr. Willard Kemp, our team would not have turned out such a prosperous season. Stamford High won 16 of its 21 games, with John Cordova setting a new record for a Stamford High basketball player, by scoring 369 points for the season. Tying Roger Ludlowe for first place in the Fairfield County League, stellar players Cordova, Drosdeck, Lane, Levon, Orlinski, and Hurley helped the team to qualify for competition in the Connecticut lnterscholastic Athletic Conference. Tragedy stalked silently, however, and after the harrowing automobile accident in which John Cordova was killed and several of his teammates were injured, the Athletic Advisory Council withdrew the team from conference play. Shocked by be- reavement, the school mourned the loss of its beloved member, a boy whose memory will be held quietly close in our hearts. 165 'lst Row, Left to Right: A. Jackson, B. Malesky, R.

Their undying efforts paid off when the real tests came in such events as the Westchester Invitation Meet, the Connecticut Relays, the A.A.U. events at Madison Square Garden, and in our Fairfield County track meet held in Boyle Stadium. The relay team of Neuwien, Billings, Dunmore and Hasbeen established a new record in the State Meet at Yale. Champion performances were turned in by Wells Hungaski, and Prucular in high jumping and pole vaulting, and by Potter, Hurley, and Morgan in the 440 and half-mile. The final shots and shouts were heard at the annual field day when their classmates rooted the track men on to well-earned victory.

However, this was only one of the many exciting events in the history of the SHS soccer team. Their steady determination gained victory after victory over their sturdy opponents. Time and again our boys showed their sportsmanship and skill as they met and clashed with the other teams. Jerry Bloom, John Rutkauskas, and Peter Tomsen were outstanding among the members who courageously contributed their talents to the team. lst Row, left to Right: S. Schaefl er, P. Rosum, C.

Never- the less, June breezes rolled in, echoing that the Yankees of Stamford had won another pennant, and with the currents came the cheers for our star veterans: Padgett, Viesto, and Edellard. Yes, Stamford High's American Baseball team made a solid hit in our memories. chess Concentration was the weapon of the SHS Chess Team. If you listen you can hear no clash of arms, but only that deadly silence that will forever be synonymous with chess. LAL badminton ist Row, Left to Right: M. Hickey, N. Humphrey, P. Beards lee, N.
