Objectives of Education Education is the process by which a member of society passes from the utter darkness of ignorance and illiteracy to the light of civilization and learning. We received our learning or culture as a great heritage from our ancestors. Culture includes the arts, language, knowledge, beliefs, folklore, ceremonies, morals, law, inventions, institutions, and all other achievements of men of all time. Every child is born without the knowledge of culture, but the present day child is heir to the great conserved wisdom of the past. It is one great function of education to introduce children to this body of knowledge and arts which is handed down to us in such a way that they may fully profit by it during their own lives, and perhaps add to it for the benefit of future generations. 3ut an education which does no more than transmit to each new generation the stored-up knowledge of the past fails in a function of still greater importance. Education must pave the way to social progress. The problems of society, which are becoming more and more complicated every day, cannot be solved by any set rules of action handed down from the past. The new education offers the most hopeful means of solving the grave difficulties which confront the modern world. But this new education is, and must be, directed forward, not backward. Instead of drilling children in old ideas and beliefs, it must train them to be critical and to discriminate among the old established ideas. A progressive education will teach young people to think for themselves and to be willing to experiment with the new. The rich and varied knowledge of the cultural heritage must be taught, not as an end in itself, lifeless and remote from present affairs, but as a means by which each and every one of us may, in the light of the past, meet present situations more intelligently and fruitfully. Education is acquired from every situation in life —from the home, playground, work-shop, church, and school. But it is to the school that we look for the right start in the walks of life. The home can not devote very much time to the youth of today, because the home is more or less broken up—due in part to woman's advent in business. The school has almost full charge of a youth's training for life: because the school has skilled teachers, good equipment, and sufficient time; and because the parents of today realize that a good education is the best gift that they can bestow on their children—and the parents are unwilling to take this very great responsibility upon themselves. The school teaches a youth how to adjust himself to modem society, and how to lead a more complete life. One of the first steps in this direction is to teach a child the fundamentals of good health. The child is taught the value of health habits and is trained in athletic games and sports. This physical training helps to bring about a normal, healthy condition among the young. It teaches them that in this life it is the fittest that survive. They do their utmost to keep healthy so that they may enjoy this life, and so that they will have a good chance in their struggle for success. The school alone bears the great responsibility of teaching a child the proper command of the fundamental processes. Scientifically trained teachers help a child to read intelligently, to write properly, to figure accurately, and to think for himself. This last task is a long process but it is a very remunerative task—for this process of thinking is necessary if we are to have social progress. After a child is taught to think, he is then taught to express his ideas accurately, either in written or in oral English. The Child who can express his ideas well has overcome one of the really difficult steps in acquiring his education. Education is a very costly institution, for great sacrifices must be made for a child on the part of his parents and friends, and great patience and kindness must be had for the child by the teacher. The least a child can do in return is to show his appreciation for all that is done by making the most of his opportunities. It is a child's duty to help make the home a pleasant one, and he can do this by learning to love his schoolmates and teachers, and by doing his best to cooperate with them. After a child leaves school, he is confronted with the task of finding suitable employment, and very often of supporting himself and his family. There is a direct relationship between one's future earning capacity and one's education. Therefore a child's future rests upon the education he has had. His work in school will show what kind of a worker he will make when he gets out on his own . The school is a miniature democracy . It is here that a child is taught the essentials of good citizenship. The child is given ample opportunity to partake in school government. The child learns the importance and necessity of having laws. He also learns that in order to have the greatest good for the greatest number, each citizen must learn to help in making these laws, and then must be most faithful in obeying them. The whole system of school life is very democratic, and it is here that a child learns about leadership and the duties of citizenship. It is the duty of every citizen to vote intelligently and to hold public office if called upon to do so. It is the duty of every school in the United States to teach the meaning of democracy and to explain clearly to every child the chief functions of our government. The school must prepare each individual to assume the obligations of citizenship as soon as he steps out of school. It is the duty of every child to do his best to keep his school in good order, to help it to function smoothly, and to help make it progressive. If a child cannot learn to adjust himself to his school life, this child will be very unfortunate when he goes out into the world. Every child should learn to give and take , and to help his friends to adjust themselves to their life and work. It is only when the sense of democracy is ingrained in every individual that we can hope to have good citizens and a happy, worthy society. The school, besides teaching a child to use his natural ability, to choose the work that he is best fitted for, and to become a good citizen, also does him a great favor—it teaches him to appreciate the best accomplishments of mankind. The child usually enjoys studying the arts and sciences, but he never realizes the importance of this study till he is older. The person who has learned to use his leisure time to advantage should never fear an empty life or one that will bore him. He will always be able to find pleasure and food for thought by indulging in these cultural studies. A person's happiness in life often depends on the way in which he spends his leisure time. While earning a living, a person's mind is occupied with the task at hand, but when his day's task is done—then may he indulge in all the best work of the ages. Leisure time should really be happy time, and it easily can be if a person is given a good start in his school days. People who are uneducated often are unhappy because they do not know what to do with their time unless they use it in foolish pleasures. If they knew about the treasures enclosed in books or about the arts, they would be able to develop themselves into the kind of people they would like to be, and this would make them have a purpose in life. The depression has taught us that we can fit ourselves for better positions in life by the careful use of our leisure time. Before the depression many people were content to spend their time and their money without much consideration. They have now learned that we can never have enough education, and we can never be too greatly prepared for any emergency or disorder in society. Education develops high ideals in a child's mind. The child learns by his school experience that right makes might. Honesty, integrity, kindnes£, and love are instilled in his character. He is shown that by persistent endeavor and high ideals, even the lowliest person may win a certain amount of success for himself. He is shown the experiences and hardships endured by our great leaders, such as Washington, Lincoln, and Roosevelt, that he may copy their ideals and so lead a fuller life. The future of civilization depends upon education. After every child has been educated so that he can adapt himself to his environment, the world will become a better place to live in. It is only by education that we can have true brotherhood and universal peace. Lily Smith '54 - HERE AND THERE IN CONNECTICUT All hail to the State that we honor, And claim as the place of our birth, The glory and pride of our nation, The spot that is brightest on earth. The year 1935 will mark the three hundredth anniversary of the founding of the state of Connecticut, The General Assembly is planning to have many celebrations throughout the state. There will be pageants, parades, and speeches given by the members of various clubs, schools, and societies. Much literary material pertaining to the background and importance of the state will be published. During that jubilee year, the schools will devote some time to the studying of the history and government of Connecticut. In anticipation of the year of commemoration, the Owl Staff has chosen for the theme of the Owl of 1934, Here and There in Connecticut . We have devoted the whole of the Literary Department to essays and to pictures on this subject. We have done this in an attempt to acquaint all the readers with the beauty and significance of the state in which we live. We wish to stimulate the interest of the people in Thomaston so that when 1935 rolls along, this town will take an active part in making the holiday a great one in honor of our Connecticut forefathers. The State Capitol The birthplace of American democracy is Hartford. Government of the people, by the people, and for the people first took shape in Connecticut. Every citizen of Connecticut should be interested in Hartford for it is here that the Connecticut state Capitol is situated. In 1871 the General Assembly appointed a commission to see that a state capitol was constructed at Hartford, the total appropriations for this structure being three million dollars. It is interesting to know that this Capitol has been the only one in the country to be built within its appropriation, the actual cost, with furnishings, having been less than the amount as provided. The building is a beautiful Gothic structure of white marble, designed by R. M. Upjohn of New York and built by C. Batterson of Hartford, founder of the Travelers Insurance Company. All the marble used in its construction was taken from Mr. Batterson’s quarry in Canaan, Connecticut. Statues representing science, commerce, proclamation, music, agriculture, and war adorn the building. At the extreme top is a huge gilded dome which can be seen from afar. There are five floors, containing about ninety offices of thirty or more commissions and departments. The Senate Chamber, formerly occupied by the State Library, contains the celebrated hand-carved chair made from a portion of the Charter Oak Tree. It is solid oak, interesting both from a historical and artistic point of view. The Hall of Representatives stands as originally constructed with the exception of the addition of several chairs and the improvement of the lighting system. Our ancestors have tried hard to make the government of Connecticut successful. The Capitol in Hartford is only one of the proofs of their accomplishments. There is much to be gained if everyone as a good citizen makes a visit to Connecticut State Capitol in Hartford. Martha Johnson ’34 THE CHARTER OAK One of the most popular legends connected with the nistory of New England centers around the famous Charter Oak, from which an offshoot in Bushnell Park in Hartford has been growing for over fifty years. The story of the Charter Oak relates how King James the Second tried to unite the New England colonies into a confederation to be known as the Dominion of New England and how he demanded the surrender of the charter of Connecticut, granted her by King Cnarles the Second. As the colonists refused to obey the King's orders Sir Edmund Andros, in October 1687, came to Hartford with an armed guard, again demanding tnat the royal charter be surrendered. The Governor of Connecticut, with all his council, met Andros in a secret assembly, wnich continued until long after dark when the candles in the meeting house were lighted. The precious charter of the colonists was finally brought into the assembly, but suddenly all the lights went out and when the candles were again lighted, the charter was gone, perhaps spirited out of the meeting house by one of the council and hidden in the huge oak tree, which from tnis time on bore the name of Charter Oak . Andros became governor of the Dominion of New England to which Connecticut belonged, and not until the overthrow of this tyrant in 1689 was the charter heard or spoken of, wnen it was brought forth again from its hiding place in the Charter Oak. The tree was a very old one when the charter was hidden in its hollow trunk----it fell on August 21, 1856 nearly one thousand years old, it is said. Part of the hollow trunk is in the keeping of the state of Connecticut and from the wood of the tree tnree cnairs have been made. One, called the Governor's Chair, is in the Capitol at Hartford, a second chair is in the Colt Memorial in Hartford, and the third chair is in txie Library of tne Connecticut Historical Society. The Society of Colonial Wars has erected a marble snaft to mark tne spot where tnis aistorical tree once stood, whose story nas been told all over the world. Elsie Petke '36 Connecticut State College The Connecticut State College is located on a sloping hill in the town of Mansfield, Tolland County, with Willimantic eight miles south as the trading center, through which city the college is reached by telephone and telegraph. The college plant contains numerous buildings including Dormitories for the girls and the boys, the Dining Hall, Armory, Infirmary, Memorial Hall, Community House, Congregational Church, Administration Building, Poultry Houses, and Dairy Barns. There are 1350 acres of land with fine horses, cattle, and other livestock, orchards and forests, on which tillable portions farming operations are carried out. The well furnished and neatly kept Dining Hall with its ample supply and variety of delicious food served to the students is situated near a pond and grove of oak trees, beyond which is a well-equipped Infirmary to safeguard the health of the college students. In the Armory, containing the Gymnasium the students engage in all indoor sports, hold assemblies and practice military drill; here is the swimming pool, R. 0. T. C. class rooms, and the rifle range. Behind this building is a large athletic field with facilities for track, tennis, baseball and football. The Administration Building contains besides the offices, a postoffice and store conducted by the college . There are three principal divisions of education at the college: residential instruction, comparing to the usual plan of college organization; the Storrs experiment station, a testing ground for the solution of farm problems and the working out of effective farm practices; and the extension service carried out through agricultural work for adults, home ecomonics for adults and junior work, or boys’ and girls’ clubs. In connection with the summer work offered to boys and girls there is a Junior Short Course for girls and boys from twelve to sixteen years of age, and a Senior Conference for those from sixteen to twenty-one years. Those attending do not have to be IAsaw uUiUmumummmmuHivmuuu ’ 4-H members although in most cases they are sent as delegates from 4-H'clubs. The courses are offered to give the boys and girls of Connecticut the opportunity to see what their State College really is, so they can return later for an education there if they so desire. Too often grown ups think of the summer as the child's vacation. ’But a week or more away from home, taking more responsibility for daily needs, eating food mother did not cook, seeing new sights, and making new friends is often more important to the younger folks than to the older ones. The yearly courses offered during the summer include the General Course, Floricultural and Horae Ground Improvement, Nature Study, Entomology, Botany, Husic, and similar subjects; the Homemaking, Home Economics Course, food preparation, clothing, nursing, etiquette, Agricultural Course, the study oi poultry, dairy, soils and fertilizers, and gardening. Learn to do by doing' is the popular method of instruction used at Connecticut State College. After the more formal work of the summer courses is finished, the day is filled with wholesome good times that appeal to young folks, including- group singing, group games, swimming in the college pool, musical appreciation, nature hiking, inspection of the college departments, movies, and other entertainment, instruction, and inspiration.

AMERICAN SCHOOL FOR DEAF The American School for the Deaf at West Hartford, the first permanent school of its kind in the United States, was established in 1817. The school today is a beautiful brick building with imposing surroundings set back about three hundred feet from the highway. The driveway to the school, lined on both sides with large ooplar trees, leads up to the main entrance, continuing around the building to the gymnasium, which is a separate building directly in back of the school. Most of the pupils who attend the school live there all of the time, but a few who do not live far away go home every weekend. There are four large bed rooms, one for the small girls, one for the older girls; and the same for the boys, young and old. In each of these rooms there are about thirty-five single beds. Everything is very neat and simple, but the boys' bed rooms are much more severe than those of the girls. Likewise there are separate recreation rooms for the older boys and girls, and separate play rooms for the smaller children. The classrooms, not very much unlike those of public schools, are very small, seating only about ten or eleven pupils. There is one large dining room for the pupils with a member of the faculty in charge, the rest of the teachers having separate dining rooms. The work that the boys accomplish in their printing is really remarkable. Taking into consideration the fact that they do all this work entirely alone, one is astounded at the books, complete even to illustrations, that they furnish to the school. They also print a weekly paper, The New Era. Nearly all the pupils participate in sports, of which basketball is the most important. Last year both the boys' and girls' teams attended the New Jersey Tournament and this year the boys are going to New York. There is also football, horse-back riding, and track work every year. Helen Taylor '35 Wesleyan University Wesleyan University, founded in 1831 at Middletown, Connecticut, is the oldest college that has remained under the patronage of the Methodist Episcopal Church. With few exceptions the instructors have been men of earnest Christian character and influence. The college opened in 1831 with a faculty consisting of a president, three professors, and one tutor. Wesleyan ranks high among the small colleges in its educational opportunities. The campus is beautifully situated on a terrace about one hundred and fifty feet above the Connecticut River. The principal buildings are of sandstone and include a North and a South College, two buildings received from its former Academy once located here and le.ter moved to Vermont; a Memorial Chapel; a Library; The Orange Judd Hall of Natural Science; an Observatory Hall, a boiler house; a machine shop; and the new Fayerweather Gymnanium. In the Laboratory the government has carried on important investigations on food and nutrition, and students have had the opoortunity to assist in investigations which have won even a European reputation. The record of Wesleyan in athletics has been rather remarkable for a small college. More attention has been given recently to football, baseball, and track athletics than in the earlier years of the existence of the college. The average character of the work of the Alumni of Wesleyan is as great as that of any other educational institution in the country. A Wesleyan Alumni Club has held meetings for thre- successive years during the Christmas holidays in Berlin, Germany, the number of alumni present being eleven. These gatherings are significant of the extensive training a.nd development of Wesleyan graduates. The Alumni Record, as a whole, is a record of noble, faithful work with very few of its members failing to achieve something worth while Xor themselves and for the world. Anna Kishlook ’35 Mary Ross '35 The United States Coast Guard Academy In New London, Connecticut, on the west side of the Thames River is situated the United States Coast Guard Academy. The Academy was formerly situated at Fort Trumbull on the Thames, about three miles further down the river, but the crowded conditions at the Fort made necessary the erecting of the new academy in 1932 at a cost of over two million dollars. These new quarters contain very handsome buildings constructed in old colonial style and fenced in by a stone wall. Guards are stationed at the gates to prevent the entrance of any except those who have special business there. A one hundred and fifty foot pier extends out into the river, where large ships may tie up as the government has dredged the river at this point. Here are anchored two ships, the Champlain and the Dobbin. The cadets who attend this Academy have to be appointed by congressmen from their states and are then selected by competitive entrance examinations. The main subjects studied at the Academy are French, English, chemistry, physics, electrical engineering, radio, mathematics, naval construction, navigation, ordinance and ballistics, (a branch of gunnery) seamanship, and survey. Much time is spent in laboratory and in shop work. Believing that thorough training in athletics insures healthy bodies, the Academy offers a wide choice in athletics, both intramural and interscholastic. Each cadet must participate in some activity during the fall, winter, and spring terms. The large gymnasium ranks among the best in the East, and a large football field has been dug into the side of a hill, where it is possible to hold games at night as the field is illuminated. Altogether the training received here is equivalent to that of the Naval or the Military Academies. After the completion of the four years' training at the academy, the cadets are commissioned as officers in the United States Coast Guard. Leah Chapman '34 Vincent Volovski P. G. The Submarine Base at New London, Connecticut At the beginning of the World War the United States Government established on the Thames River, about three miles above the New York and New Haven Railroad Bridge at New London, Connecticut, a permanent naval base for submarines and for the mother ship of the submarines. Here are located about fifteen submarines, of which at least five go out for training every day in the week, and occasionally the whole fleet is out for practice. There is also a boat acting as a base ship for the submarines, called the Mother Ship , that goes out in the Sound when they are maneuvering. At this naval base a water tower about 185 feet in height is situated where the sailors practice going through that depth of water with artificial lungs.This action enables the officers and sailors so equipped on board a submerged submarine, which is unable to rise to the surface again for some unknown reason, to leave the submarine while she is resting on the bottom and to float unharmed to the surface. The water tank is kept at a suitable temperature 60 that no bodily harm can befall the men when they practice there every day in the week. There are special stairs leading to the apex of the tank but they are not in use today because last year an electric elevator was erected by which the men are transported up and down. Since this tank and the artificial lights came into use, the chances that a man will be saved, should his ship be unable to rise after submerging, are very good. It was from this base that the ill-fated submarine S-57 departed on her last trip just before her sinking in Long Island Sound with officers and crew aboard making up forty-eight men. This catastrophe took place before the tank had been erected and as a consequence some of the men remained alive for nearly a week before death overtook them, while the ship was resting on ocean bottom. American citizens who wish to visit this naval base can apply for passes and they will be given admittance to any part of the grounds they desire. Furthermore by applying to the commander, people can also obtain a pass which will enable them to board a submarine. There usually is a sailor in charge of the party, who acts as guide and points out and explains all points of interest thus making it a pleasure for anyone to visit the base. It is interesting to note that further out in the harbor on the Grotton side there is situated a ship building plant called the New London Ship and Engine Company where submarines are built. It was only recently that the largest submarine (called the Cuttlefish ) was launched from this harbor. Enlistment in the navy gives many a young man a chance for a better education than he would get outside; he may attend classes on shipboard in times of peace; and in addition he may learn a trade which will enable him to make a good living; when his term of enlistment has expired. Best of all he sees the world, gets good food and clothing, and learns habits which will be of use to him in later life. Connecticut, from craggy northern rills To where the rocky headlands meet the Sound; And from Rhode Island to New York's low hills, We love thy rugged lands to utmost bounds. Dixie Johnson '36 Forest Fire Control In Connecticut Connecticut was the first state in the Union to employ a State Forester, Mr. Walter Mulford, a graduate of Cornell Forestry School, who was appointed Forester of the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station in 1901 by the General Assembly of Connecticut. His work for the first few years was in experimental plantations, but in 1903 when Connecticut started its first state forest, he took an active part in planning for the up-keep of these forests. In 1904 there was no organized effort on the part of any of the citizens to stop or to prevent any forest fires that did not endanger buildings. The people considered these forest fires as Brush Fires which were more good to the state than harm. Finally in 1905 through the efforts of state forest backers, the General Assembly passed a law asking for state wide protection which was to come from the towns. The Selectmen in the various towns were to appoint the fire warden in that town at a wage of $3.50 per day, to be paid one half by the town, one quarter by the state, and one quarter by the county. This system was inefficient because the warden was generally appointed for political reasons. The methods these local wardens had for fighting fires were very crude, depending mostly on the use of rakes, burlap bags, shovels, and back firing. For grass fires, trenches were dug to prevent further spread of the fire. In 1906, the first full year of this local warden system, many fires were stopped at a cost of $7,27 per fire. The majority of these fires were caused by the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad. But even the number of fires put out or stopped by the foresters did not make the peoole fully realize the need of forest fire prevention. The first fire patrolling was done in Simsbury along a railroad line that was the cause of many fires. This partolling together with the invention of different pumps helped decrease the fire hazards in Connecticut. ‘ In 1909 the General Assembly passed laws fining people for carelessness with fires and result- ing in a law whereby the railroads were made liable for forest fires. The next step in local warden fire fighting was the erecting of towers and the stationing of foresters in these towers to detect any fires that might break out. From 1910 to 1921 although fire fighting facilities were greatly increased, the fires grew in numbers. The reasons for this increase were the inefficiency of the local wardens and the dying out of the chestnut trees that made a trap for fires. As a result of the increasing number of fires the state wardens finally secured from the General Assembly in 1921 a law whereby the state took over control of forest fire fighting. Under the 1921 law, district wardens took the place of the local wardens and patrolled the specific areas of the state. These wardens were paid by the state and had the right to gather volunteer forces of local people to fight any bad forest fires. This method did not prove so profitable, because it took a long time to gather volunteers, and communications between wardens and Hartford were not very good. It was not thought necessary to have ready forces to fight fires because there were no large tracts of lumber in this state, but in 1927 many private people began buying and planting good timber and they wanted protection. Finally in 1931 the General Assembly passed a law calling for trained crews to assist the wardens in fighting forest fires. These trained crews of men form a Flying Squadron which consists of two units made up of eight to ten men each. These units are to be used as a shift to keep -a steady crew at a fire until it is under control. They are well equipped with trucks, pumps of all kinds, and other modern equipment. At the present time there are about twenty such crews ready at all times to be shifted to any part of the state to take a hand in fighting a fire. In 1933 the final step was taken in fire prevention by the National Government when they introduced the C. C. C. camps in Connecticut. These men together with state wardens and crews can control forest fires in this state. The outlook for the future is very good, because all this state needs is more fire fighting equipment and more caution by its citizens. Joseph Sullivan '34 Newgate Prison Newgate Prison, a mass of ancient, grim-looking buildings, stands on a bleak, barren hillside sixteen miles northwest of Hartford. From 1775 to 1783 it was the National Prison of the Continental Government, and from 1790 to 1827 it was the State Prison of Connecticut. The buildings wnich first attract attention are the former v orkshops, the hospitals, the chapel, and the guardhouse of the prison. The dungeons and cells were one hundred feet beneath the ground; and it was tnis feature that gave to the old Newgate its unique and horrible character and made it the terror of evildoers wherever its ominous fame was sounded. The entrance to these dungeons is by a perpendicular snaft fifty feet deep. To one of the sides a wooden ladder is affixed, down which the visitor must climb to reach the dungeons below. At the bottom of the shaft a flight of stone steps leads down thirty or forty feet farther to a central chamber, which contained the sleeping apartments of the convicts. On one side a narrow passage leads down to a well of pure water, above wnich an air shaft pierces the sandstone for seventy feet until it reaches the surface and admits a few cheering rays of light. Everywhere else darkness prevails. There are three parallel galleries extending eight hundred feet north and south, the lowest depth reached being three hundred feet. The galleries are cut through the solid rock and are low and narrow, water drops unceasingly from the roof, and the intense darkness and noxious gases tend to render passage difficult though not impossible. The cavern was originally a copper mine, but in 1773 the colony of Connecticut was feeling the need of a new prison. The county jails were overcrowded with prisoners and were, besides, extremely insecure. It was at this time that it was suggested that this abandoned copper mine at Simsbury (now East Granby) be used as a convict hold. This suggestion was received with great favor by the people and adopted by the Legislature of 1773, which body appointed a keeper, Captain John Viets and named the new prison Newgate, after the famous prison of that name in London. John Hinson was the first formally committed prisoner to Newgate, entering December 2, 1773. He escaped in a few days, however, by an air shaft. Other prisoners followed his example until the Legislature ordered a more thorough guarding of these shafts. The war of the colonies against the mother country made it necessary to consign more prisoners to the gloomy dungeons of Newgate, and during the eight years of war that followed, Newgate became widely celebrated. Tales of the horrors of its dungeons and of the sufferings of its prisoners were freely circulated by word and by newspapers. In 1790, Connecticut made Newgate the State Prison of the Commonwealth; and it was perhaps the first penal institution of this character in the United States. In 1810 there were 46 convicts; sixteen years later the number had increased to 127. The cost and impossibility of accommodating so many in the cavern led the State authorities to provide for the erection of another prison %t Wethersfield which was finished and in 1827 the prisoners were removed to the new one. Since that time the old Newgate Prison has been vacant and only visitors enter there. The utmost desolation reigns in the inclosure. The owlet rests undisturbed on the coping of the wall; the dust and mold of half a century have collected in the unused interiors of workshop and chapel; bats cling in the dark corners and wary spiders weave their meshes, undisturbed by the housewife's broom or other signs of human occupancy. Harriet Dickinson '34 SKI MEETS Within the past few years, Connecticut has become very much interested in the thrilling winter sport of skiing. This interest has been shown by the crowds, not only from our own state but from New York, and from Massachusetts, which have attended the ski meets at Norfolk, Salisbury, and Winsted on Sunday afternoons this past winter These meets are held under the direction of certain organizations, the members of which are great lovers of winter snorts, especially of skiing. This interest is especially strong in Norfolk, where many of the members are Norwegians, among whom is the third best ski jumper in the country. The first ski jump this year was held at Winstead. H re the skiing club is sponsored by an electrical engineer of Winsted, who together with nis associates has financed the large ski hill which has been strongly approved by well-known skiing engineers of the country. The unique features of the hill are entirely natural approaches to the hill and the provisions made for the conservation of the snow to make possible the meets on all set dates. The Winsted Club had not made sufficient arrangements to take care of such a crowd, but in the future they will arrange that straw be placed on the ground so that people will not have to stand in the snow; that fires be built at intervals around the parking field; and most important of all that the new plan of parking permit the entire meet to be viewed from the cars. The New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad will run a special excursion train from New York. Roads to the ski hill will be well plowed and the field stamped for greater convenience. There will be three entrances to the field to aid traffic. Successful meets were also held at Norfolk and at Salisbury, many of the best amateur and professional skiers performing for a very large crowd. Some of the skiers jumped over 300 feet. That is a thrill for nearly every person whether he is a performer or just a spectator, and that is why the ski meets have proved popular with such large crowds Alex Biedryziki 35 Priscilla Hewitt '35 Elizabeth Park Elizabeth Park, one of the most beautiful parks in the United States, is situated in an exclusive section of Hartford, a city noted for beauty of location, fine buildings, excellent schools, Art Museum, Capitol, State Library, and a most interesting historical background. One section of the park retains its natural beauty, exquisite to behold, v;ith majestic maple trees and rugged rocks scattered here and there. A natural bird sanctuary is fashioned from the rocks and to this come bluebirds, scarlet tanagers, Baltimore orioles, and other birds of varied hue and song. There are ponds filled with many species of fish. Flowers in their seasons grow naturally, and are of great richness in their quality, form, and color. The famous Rose Garden is found here, to which people from all over the state, even from neighboring states, come daily in June to view the masses of beautiful roses of every conceivable color—row after row, loaded with blossoms and forming overhanging bowers, gorgeous beyond description. Chrysanthemum time in the fall again attracts many visitors. The Fern Garden, combining the work of nature with that of man, is a spot of great beauty. One of the most striking features in the garden is the representation on the slope of a hill of the American flag in red, white, and blue flowers. And so to Elizabeth Park come thousands of visitors each year to enjoy its beauties and to escape the drabness of ordinary life. They leave, scarcely finding words to describe the superb layout, the picturesaue drives, the wandering paths, or the gorgeous flowers. Mary Perchuck 1 34 HAMMONASSET BEACH Hammonasset Beach, one of Connecticut's favorite playgrounds, is on the Connecticut shore of Long Island Sound. This State Park of about 552 acres, consisting of low lying upland and salt meadow with a mile of sandy beach equal to any in the state, is now so nearly publicly owned that its complete acquisition seems assured in the near future. The natural scenery of the nark has been conserved to a great extent and a large sum of money is appropriated yearly for this purpose. Hammonasset is operated by the State Park Commission under the policy that public parks are free to all, but that the supplies, services and rental of the camp sites are oaid for by those who are benefited. A large section of ground is reserved for overnight camps, free of charge. A fifteen-acre meadow is laid out for week-end and season or long-term camps, each site being about fifty feet wide and from_ seventy-five to one hundred feet deep, equipped with running water and electric lights. Camping is growing rapidly and as the demand for favorable camping sites increase, other spaces will be provided to accommodate the large number, without interfering with daily visitors. Parking space for over five thousand cars on a busy day is now available. Life guards, engaged for the summer season, are stationed along the beach at frequent intervals to ensure safety for the thousands of people visiting the Park annually. In 1920 the new pavilion of logs was opened in which tempting lunches can be obtained. Here also on Saturday nights the campers gather for a merry making, all contributing voluntarily to the program. Other smaller buildings are conveniently situated near the walk, including the Clamshed , a building containing an office, a first aid room, quarters for the lifeguards and bathhouses. Hammonasset Beach is only one of the many parks now established and maintained by the state purely for recreational public use. The annual attendance at this best known state park in Connecticut is estimated at about 500,000 visitors. Thelma Atkinson '35 Annie Hulme 135 Camp Sepunkum Camp Sepunkum, the Scout Camp for the Waterbury Council of the Boy Scouts, is located in the Mount Tom State Park in the township of New Preston. This camp was started about twenty years ago on the shore of Mount Tom Lake. The first troop to go there was the Thomaston troop, who hiked up carrying their own provisions. The camp was later moved from the lakeside to the mountainside, with the tents arranged on three sides of the campus and on the fourth side the large cabin where the evening campfire was held. This cabin was burned down in 1922 but was rebuilt the following year. When the camp was changed again, Camp Original was left in its original place in the left hand side of the campus. Camp Hillside was moved a few hundred feet to the right with Camp Lookout on the hillside above. Farther on into the woods, where an experienced camper may go and build his own shelter, is Camp Pioneer. There is some competition among these camps. Points are counted for keeping the camp neat, for passing tests and for merit badges, and for the weekly contests held on the lakefront, including swimming, diving, canoe and boat racing. There are baseball games between the camps nearly every afternoon. A long stairway connects the camp proper with the mess hall, the craft shop, and headquarters. Directly before this stairway is the mess hall, a long low building with the cook shack in the rear, managed by about seven boys, who wash dishes, see that the floor is clean, and have charge of the supplies of salt, sugar, and oepper. To the right of the mess hall, is the craft shop where tv o or three experienced instructors direct the work. To the right of the stairway are headquarters and the camp store run something like a bank, where the camper deposits his money and receives a card with the amount of deposit on it. Each time he makes a purchase the amount is punched on the card. The cabin contains the office of the doctor, a young man who has not yet started his own practice, and here also is the museum with its collections of butterflies, stones, fish, and snakes. Down on the waterfront is the boathouse with five boats and five canoes, the councilors' dressing rooms, and the life guards' room. One of the special features of the camp is the over—night hike, which is held at least once a week, generally to Kent Falls, a distance of about twelve miles. Besides this lone, hike there are shorter hikes to various points of interest near the camp and short nature hikes for the purpose of studying birds, trees, and butterflies. There is a fire observation tower on the top of the mountain and every afternoon a large number of boys hike up there. On the way up to the fire observation tower is a high cliff, Sepunkum, from which the camp gets its name. A long time ago there was an Indian chief Sepunkum whose tribe had been wiped out by another tribe. While the Chief was fleeing for his life, he was trapped between the pursuers and the cliff• He rode his horse off the edge of the cliff and was killed instantly. The cliff was named after him. Camp Sepunkum is one of the most outstanding boys camps in Connecticut. The camper is well taken care of; he has a large field of activities with his special interests developed; and he is given encouragement to make a special study of those subjects in which he is most interested. Gordon Coates '35 Like fallen leaves these forest-tribes have fled; Deep 'neath the turf their ancient weapons lie; Ho more their harvest lifts its golden head, Nor from their shaft the stricken red-deer flies. Camp Mohawk Camp Mohawk, which is situated in the heart of the Litchfield Hills, is the Tri-County Y. M. C. A, Camp of Fairfield, Litchfield, and New Haven counties. It is established to provide a wholesome, enjoyable out-of-door vacation for boys and girls of those counties, and at the same time to help all the campers to attain a well-balanced Christian character. The camp, located in the town of Cornwall at the foot of Mohawk Mountain beside Mohawk Pond, is one thousand feet above the sea level. It is a wild spot, still picturesquely natural. This same country was the scene of many Indian encampments long ago and has many wonderful traditions of Indian lore. There are twenty well constructed lodges, each furnished with five double deck beds, besides which there are tents for the campers. There is also a large and well equipped kitchen and dining room, an infirmary furnished to take care of all the first aid and emergency cases, a dock, diving boards, floats, boats and canoes, tennis and horseshoe courts, an athletic field, an office and an administration building, a water pumping system, and numerous other items of equipment for the welfare of the campers. There are many sports and activities included in the camp program, such as swimming, life saving, rowing, baseball, track, tennis, volley ball, morning devotions, tent vespers, Sunday services, Bible study, minstrel shows, hikes, fishing, and stunt night. There are educational subjects too, such as instruction in first aid, nature study, hammock making, camp craft, archery, athletic training, Junior achievement craftsmanship, pageantry, and dramatics. There is a camp honor system which is planned to develop the right spirit and attitude toward camp life. The camp emblem, the M”, is awarded for good behavior and for participation in every phase of the camp program. Red Cross and Y.M. C. A. life saving certificates and emblems are awarded to those passing the required tests. An advanced honor, the C.M. C. , is to be secured by those who already possess an M and nave a high record in character, leadership, achievement, spirit and helpfulness. Each year the campers go on an overnight hike to Kent Falls, where they go swimming. This is a long and tiring journey of thirteen miles but it affords much enjoyment to everyone. There is no time wasted in the daily routine of the campers, for each hour is spent in worth-while tasks and no better place can be imagined for a month of camping by any boy or girl who enjoys the great outdoors. Esther Gotsell '34 Ye say they all have passed away, That noble race and brave, That their light canoes have vanished From off their crested wave; That, 'mid the forests where they roamed, There rings no hunter's shout; But tneir name is on your waters, Ye may not wash it out. And their memory liveth on your hills, Their baptism on your shore; Your everlasting rivers speak Their dialect of yore. Connecticut hath wreathed it And sealed the sacred trust; Your mountains build tneir monument, Though ye destroy their dust. Points of Interest in Connecticut Each state in the Union has a very colorful background and has done its part to make the United States the great nation that it is today. Although Connecticut is the third smallest state in the extent of its territory, it has contributed liberally to America's welfare and progress and has become a rich treasure chest in its points of interest. Some of the places which history or economics has made famous are the following: 3erlin—In the 18th century two brothers, skilled in the art of shaping tinned sheet iron into small ware, came from Ireland and settled in Berlin where they began work. Their goods, which sent Connecticut peddlers to the far corners of the colonies and made the term Connecticut Yankee famous, were eagerly bought as luxuries. The success of the tinware industry encouraged others to turn to inventions and manufacturing, and soon many household industries were established. Today Connecticut is twelfth among all states in the value of its manufactured products. Bethel—P- T. Barnum, probably the world's most famous show-man, was born in Bethel in 1810. Bethlehem—The first theological seminary in America was established in 3ethlehem in 1745. Branford—In 3ranford in Rev. Samuel Russell's parsonage several ministers founded Yale College, 1700- Bridgeport— The Industrial Capital of Connecticut . During the World War Bridgeport was called the Essen of America because it produced more munitions than any other American city—60 of the small arms were manufactured here for the American government. The largest corset manufacturing center in the world is in Bridgeport. To this city in 1876, two brothers, specialists in women's diseases, brought their corset manufacturing experiment from New York state. Bristol—For more than 150 years Bristol has been the leading center of the clock manufacturing industry of the United States, Bristol is the home of the largest ball bearing manufactures and the largest spring manufactures in the world. Among its internationally known products are silverware, clocks and watches, and steel fishing rods. Brooklyn—Israel Putnam, Old Put , of the French and Indian War and of the Revolutionary War lived and was buried here. Historic Wolf's Den is located near Brooklyn. Canterbury—General Moses Cleveland, founder of Cleveland, Ohio, was born in Canterbury in 1754. Cheshire—Seabury College, the first Episcopal Academy in Connecticut, was established in Cheshire in 1801. Judge's Cave, where Whalley Goffe, and later Dixwell, regicides, hid is under Scott's Rock in Cheshire. Columbia—Eleazer Wheclock's Indian school was started in Columbia and was later removed to New Hampshire to become Dartmouth College. Cornwall—The first mission school in America for training Asiatics was established in Cornwall in 1817. Coventry—Nathan Hale, the famous patriot and martyr soy of the Revolutionary War, was born on June 6, 1755 in Coventry. His birthplace is now one of the most famous shrines in Connecticut. Danbury—In April, 1777, Tryon with 2,000 British troops landed at Naugatuck and marched on to Danbury, which had been chosen as a depository for Continental Military stores. On April 27, the British destroyed not only the army stores but the bulk of the town. The first American hat factory was started here in 1780 by Zadoc Benedict. With three men to assist him he could turn out three hats a day. Today Danbury is the center of the hat manufacturing industry in the United States and has more than fifty factories engaged in the rnanufacture of hats, materials, and allied products. The Danbury Fair, the only privately owned fair in the state, is one of the city's established institutions and annually attracts more than 100,000 visitors. East Granby—The first copper coins that were used in the colonies were made at the Simsbury copper mines in East Granby. These copper mines were used as a colonial and later as a state prison from 1773 to 1872. East Haddam—The school house (in East Haddam) where Nathan Hale taught in 1773 has been restored and is now kept as a memorial to him. East Hartford — When Rochambeau met Washington at Hartford, this town was the scene of the French encampment. The first watches made in America were manufactured in East Hartford in 1838. East Windsor—Jonathan Edwards, the leading theologian of his day, was born in East Windsor, John Fitch, who designed and built the first steamboat in the world, was a famous son of this town. Essex—The Oliver Cromwell , the first ship of the United States Navy, was built in one of the six shipyards in Essex. Fairfield—John Hancock, president of the Continental Congress, and Dorothy Quince were married in the old Burr house in Fairfield in 1775. Glastonbury—Gideon Wells, famous Secretary of Navy in Abraham Lincoln's cabinet, was born in Glastonbury in 1802. The first powder mill in America was built in this town in 1777. Greenwich— A Dutch patroonship in its early days, Greenwich was ceded to the Connecticut Colony in 1650, The early history of the territory is rich in Indian lore. Greenwich is geographically located so as to be the natural gate way to New England. As New York City became more congested, Greenwich became more popular as the home of the influential business men of New York, It has retained its reputation as a high-class residential community and is widely known as the home of many famous artists and authors. Groton—Fort Griswold, which was in Groton, was taken by the British under Benedict Arnold, and the defenders were massacred on September, 1781. A monument was placed on Groton Heights in their memory. Guilford—In this town stands the oldest stone house (1639) in New England. The Arcadian peasants from Nova Scotia, who were refugees from British ships in 1775 and whom Longfellow immortalized in his famous poem Evangeline , were sheltered in Guilford. Hartford—The capital city, Hartford, was one of the three original settlements in Connecticut, Hartford is an insurance center, underwriting of insurance in America having had its start here in 1794. This city has the largest brush factory and the largest typewriter factory in the world. It is the home of a world famous firearms and of an internationally known airplane motor. It has one of the three best municipal airports in the country and is one of the three ports on the first contract air mail routes in the United States. The world's finest municipal rose garden is located in Hartford. To Connecticut goes the distinction of having the oldest American Newspaper of continuous publication. This paper is the Hartford Courant which began publication on October 29, 1764, when the capital city had a population of only 4,000. In 1871, Samuel L. Clemens ( Mark Twain ), a famous writer and lecturer, came to Connecticut to make his home in Hartford. Lebanon—In this town may be seen the mansion where Washington, Lafayette, Rochambeau, Jefferson, Franklin, and other famous men were entertained by Governor Trumbull. The French troops spent the winter of 1780-81 on the Lebanon common. The celebrated war office oj. Connecticut during the Revolution is still standing. Litchfield—The first law school in America was established in Litchfield in 1784 by Tapping Reeve. Judge Kirby published the first law reports in America from Litchfield. Here in 1792 was founded the first young lady's seminary in America. This town was the birthplace of Henry 7ard Beecher, a famous preacher and orator. His celebrated sister, Harriet Beecher Stowe, (the author of Uncle Tom's Cabin ) was also born here in 1811. Here, too, in 1802 was born Dr. Horace Bushnell, a most influential theological writer. Lyme—In 1816 Morrison R. Waite, who became Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, was born in Lyme. Manchester—A monopoly of the manufacture of glass was granted to William Pitkin of Manchester in January, 1783. Ruins of the glass works may still be seen. In 1863 Frank and Ralph Cheney laid the foundation of the largest silk industry in the United States. Mansfield—The first silk mill established in America is still standing in Mansfield. The first bell cast in America was cast in a foundry near the silk mill. Connecticut State College is located at Mansfield. Meriden—This is the home of the largest manufacturer of silver ware in the world, known as The Silver City . Pewter and Britannia were first made here in 1794. Middletown—Wesleyan University, founded in 1831, together with the State Hospital for the insane and the Industrial School for Girls (Long Lane Fgrm) are the outstanding institutions of the city. Until recently, the Berkeley Divinity School, which is now at Yale, was located here. Middletown shared with Flint, Michigan the honor of being the first community to go over the top in the Liberty Loan Campaign of 1918. One of the natural features of note near Middletown is The Narrows, an impressive gorge where the Connecticut River cuts its way through a rocky barrier for more than a mile. Naugatuck—One of the largest rubber reclaiming plants in the world is located in Naugatuck. While the rubber industry is the largest, Naugatuck has several other industries of considerable importance. One of the three largest safety pin concerns in the United States, is located here. It was in Naugatuck that Charles Goodyear, foremost of the great pioneers in rubber, devoted many years of his life to experimenting in the vulcanizing of rubber. New Britain—Elihu Burritt, New Britain's distinguished son, was born in 1810. He was known as The Learned Blacksmith , and his efforts for international peace and brotherhood, together with his efforts in behalf of Ocean Penny Postage, stamped him as an international character. For many years, New Britain has been the leading city of the world in the production of hardware. Here are located a State Trade School and a State Teachers' College. New Haven— The Elm City is the largest city in the state. For many years it was one of the two capitals in Connecticut. In early days, New Haven was a shipping center. When the War of 1812 practically put an end to foreign shipping, the city turned to manufacturing. Today it has approximately 500 factories. Yale University founded in 1701 is located here. In New Haven lived one of Connecticut's most distinguished citizens—Roger Sherman—the only man in the 13 original colonies to sign the four fundamental documents of our country—(l) the Articles of Association of 1774; (2) the Declaration of Independence of 1776; (3) the Articles of Confederation of 1778; (4) the Federal Constitution of 1787. In New Haven are found the graves of such Connecticut pioneers as Morse, the father of American geography; Eli Whitney, inventor of the cotton gin; Charles Goodyear, discoverer of the process of vulcanizing rubber. The first commercial telephone exchange in the world was established in New Haven in 1878. New Haven is the third largest jobbing and wholesale center in New England. New London—This city was first settled by James Winthrop, the Younger, in 1645. The Old Town Mill which was originally built by him in 1650 is still standing. The harbor was the chief port for the Connecticut navy in the American Revolution and previous to that was the center of West India trade. The Connecticut College for Women is located here. New London is called the Utopia of the North Atlantic because it is the center of military, naval, and coast guard activities, having located within its environs or nearby the United States Submarine Base, the Coast Guard Section Base, the Coast Guard Academy; Fort H.Y. Wright, and the training camp at Niantic. New London is well known to thousands as the scene of the annual rowing classic between Yale and Harvard. The harbor is considered one of the best and finest in America, having a channel free at all times to accommodate even the greatest of steamships right up to the thousand-foot state-owned pier. Norwicn—The first permanent white residents in this region came in boats from Saybrook in 1660, after the land v as purcnased from an Indian Chief for 6350. Norwich is the burial place of 'Jncas, famous sachem of the Mohegans. The first iron works were established in 1750; sixteen years later, the first paper mill in Connecticut was erected here. Today Norwich is known as the Rose of New England . Pomfret—Whistler, the famous artist, went to scnool here. In Pomfret may be seen the old farm house of the famous patriot General Israel Putnam. Redding—Here is located the Israel Putnam Camp ground, wnich is called the best preserved Revolutionary camp ground in the country. Ridgefield—This was the scene of the battle between the Americans and Tryon's forces, April, 1777. General David Wooster was mortally wounded, and Beneaict Arnold's horse was shot from under him. Rockville—With nis home for a factory, Delano Abbott began nis manufacturing of s?tinets in this country. Later Abbott and Ebenezer Nash built Twin mills, where now a f?,mous woolen factory stands. From this modest beginning spread the woolen industry of Rockville. Cloth for more th?„n one president's inaugural suit has been made in Rockville. Paper manufacturing in this country was started here. Rockville claims one of the largest envelope factories and one of the largest fish line factories in the country. Salisbury—L£any of the cannon and much of the ammunition used in the Revolution was furnished from the ore mines of this town. The guns of the Constitution and other early American warships were cast here. The massive chains which were stretched across the Hudson River at West Point to hold back the British ship were forged in Salisbury. The forge where the anchor of the Constitution was made is still standing. Saybrook—This is the site of the colony in which John Hampden and Oliver Cromwell were interested. David Bushness, inventor, was born here about 1742. The American Turtle or submarine boat, the first of the kind capable of locomotion of which there is a record, was built at Saybrook, 1775. Simsbury—This place was burned by the Indians, possibly under the personal direction of King Philip, March 26, 1676. King Philip's Mountain, located near by, is said to be the point from which he watched the destruction of the settlement. South Manchester—Seth Cheney, who was born in South Manchester in 1810, was recognized as one of the greatest American artists in crayon drawing. South Windsor—The first cigars made in America were made in South Windsor in 1801 by the wife of a tobacco grower. Suffield—This town was the home of Gideon Granger, who was the first Post Master General of the United States, Torrington—Torrington is the metropolis of Litchfield County and is situated at the head of the Naugatuck Valley— The Brass Center of the World . The first house in Torrington was built in 1734. A fort was erected the same year to protect the residents from attacks by Indians. The first condensed milk plant in the world was established here by Gail Borden. John Brown, the famous abolitionist, was born here. Washington—This was the first town in the United States named after George Washington. Waterbury—This city is the center of the brass industry in this country. The manufacturing of brass goods originated here in 1892 in the making of brass buttons. Plated knee and shoe buckles, silver sleeve and vest buttons were made in Waterbury before the Revolution. Clocks have been manufactured here since 1790. Waterbury is the second city only to Boston in freight tonnage in New England. West Hartford—Noah Webster, lexicographer, was born here on October 16, 1758. The French allies had a winter camp on Talcott Mountain toward the close of the Revolutionary War. Wethersfield—The largest and probably the oldest elm tree in America, which was planted nearly 300 years afro by Richard Belden, is still standing. Here is located the Webb house in which Washington, Rochambeau, Governor Trumbull and other Revolutionary leaders sat down together during the darkest hours of the War and made olans, as a result of which the 3ritish surrendered at Yorktown, and America became an independent nation. The first Connecticut legislature met at Wethersfield in 1637 and declared war against the Pequot Indians. Here in 1636 was built the Desire , the first American vessel to cross the Atlantic Ocean. Willimantic—The first mill was built here in 1706. Since that time Willimantic has prospered as a manufacturing center, and today it has the largest thread mill in the country and is therefore called the Thread City .

Windsor—Oliver Ellsworth, who secured the adoption of the Connecticut Compromise at the Federal Constitutional Convention of’1787, arranged the present judicial system of the United States, and was Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, lived here. His house is still standing. Athletic Trophies To look forward for a while is to refresh the eye, to restore it, and to render it the more fit for its prime function of looking forward. The Thomaston High School is proud of its athletic achievements. Although we have not always had winning teams, our athletes have always displayed fine sportsmanship, and the student body has been faithful in supporting the teams. Our school is known throughout the Western Connecticut League for its school spirit ; and though we have captured many honors in sports, our most prized possession is a plaque which has been awarded to us for good sportsmanship. Among our souvenirs we find four loving cups which the girls' Basketball Teams have won for being the League Champions during the following seasons: 1927-1928; 1928-1929; 1931-1932; and 1932- 1933. The boys of our school have one loving cup, awarded to them in 1924 by the Litchfield County Y. LI. C. A. for winning the annual track meet. Our Boys' Basketball Team attended the State Tournament at Connecticut State College in 1933 and there received a basket-ball for winning second place in class C-D. The Basketball Sportsmanship Plaque is awarded to the School in the Western Connecticut League which has displayed the finest sportsmanship and the best school spirit during the year. This plaque has been won by the Thomaston High School for the following years: 1928-1929; 1930-1931; 1931-1932; 1932-1933; and has become our permanent possession. May the future teams of the Thomaston High School maintain this reputation which we have earned for marked ability and good sportsmanship in the athletic field. THE BASKETBALL TEAM Although the season of 1933-1934 did not produce a championship team for Thomaston High School, it produced one of the fastest and best spirited teams this school has ever had. The players were all small and at the beginning of the season prospects looked rather dark. Experience was also lacking but under the fine training of Ooach Green and the faithful leadership of Captain Thulin a good, fast, and scraopy squad was developed. The third game of the season was with Litchfield, our old rival. The team was all keyed up for this encounter and when the night of the game arrived the local gymnasium was oacked with people that saw a very exciting game that went through an over-time period, in which Harold Olcese starred and the game was won. Close games were characteristic of this last season. The Watertown game in town was another bright spot of the season. It was a closely contested battle but the home team managed to keep the upper hand. A crowd witnessed this encounter and left happy and rather worn out from the excitement. Thomaston’s accuracy from the free throw line was very important in her victory. Thomaston High School was tied with Terryville and Litchfield for second place in the league at the end of the season. The Thomaston High School Boys Basketball Team gained entry in the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference Basketball Tournament for C-D schools at Weaver High School in Hartford. Our team's average was 800 per cent. Thomaston drew Salisbury, one of che strongest C-D teams in the state, as their first opponent. Thomaston rooters on the night of the game, packed one whole side of the spacious Weaver Gym. Thomaston lost the encounter by a 34-25 score, their opponents holding a lead throughout the game. Each player received a small medal as a souvenir of the tournament and the captain, Bob Thulin, was selected as an all-Tournament guard.

Dramatics On February 6, 1934 the Thomaston High School presented The Colonel's Maid , a three-act comedy by Leona Dalrymple. This play was pronounced a huge success by all who attended. Much credit is due to the very capable directress, Miss Bernice Drew Ingalls and to the youthful Thespians who gave a worthy performance of their somewhat difficult roles.

The Club is to meet once a month and present a sketch or short play. The following officers were elected: President---------------------------------Robert Elty Vice-President---------------------------Simeon Sachner Secretary and Treasurer-------------------Lilly Smith .
