0 - NEVER GIVE IN It is the opinion of most people that the war is in its final phases and that victory and peace will soon be ours. Unfortunately, this is not true; yet to be won is the most difficult part of the war--that of peace. The necessary all-out effort of every one of us will call for extreme measures of personal sacrifice and devotion. Every citizen, young and old, must learn to act heroically if the war is to be completely won and if a secure and happy future for our country is to be guaranteed. For the most part, it is the grave responsibility of the youth to see that the world never again is plunged into such a chaotic state. In order to insure a lasting cooperation and peace, each student must resolve to study international issues tirelessly and thoughtfully. Knowledge and ability displayed by every one of us will be a determining factor. I do not mean that one’s entire time should be devoted to world affairs, but fun and work and honesty can be combined in this all-important problem. This is a challenge to the Youth of America. If we greatly intensify our efforts to develop our social thinking, if we devote increased time to studying, discussing, and attempting to understand the changes and problems which accompany scientific progress, if we resolve to master our marvelous mechanical devices rather than permit them to ruin and destroy us, vie can achieve greater comfort and security then mankind has ever seriously dreamed of attaining. Fellow Citizens of Tomorrow, are vie going to brave the dangers of the coming years, prepared and alert? Keep up your couraye,-.. never give in and wars never again will threaten this earth. 2 Margaret Atwood � 45 TABJWC OF CONTENTS EDITORIAL . . . DEDICATION . . FACULTY .... SENIORS . . . .

Buzz, buzz, buzz, went the buzzer, Tramp, tramp, tramp, went the kids, Droop, droop, droop, went my heartstrings. As I started to go, then she thundered out, NO.1 And I started to know hov; it feels When the universe reels. As I wanted to leave, she took hold of my sleeve with her hand.

Later, in the luxurious penthouse apartment of Jean Blake, the greatest operatic soprano of all time, who has 1ust finished her final performance in C'est la Vie , a party is going on.

Business manager Florence Stone is deep in discussion with Miss Blake's photographer, Betty Sit-kiewicz, who is taking the last pictures of the star. The famed florist Eileen Blacker,is admiring the gorgeous floral tributes to the retiring star. Miss Blake is in a reminiscent mood and recalls the reunion of the Class of 1945.

P ud b £ v y -■ ■ 3EETBALL 1944-45 FONTS • Thomaston High oiyleted its first comparatively unsuccessful basketball campaign in five years. However, the players must be congratulated on their fine .cooperative spirit and sportmen-like conduct. The team this 3 -ear did, however, have a star, Peaches Paczkowski, co-captain and center, who was the first Thomas-ton player to hit the century mark in points in over three years. After getting off to a comparatively slow start he averaged over ten points a game in his last seven contests. At the off-set of the season Jim Kennedy, the other cocaptain, carried the brunt of the attack. This promising lad, only a Junior, will be a great help to next year's squad as he has the ability and aggressiveness to be next year's spark plug. AI30, not to be left out is that up and coming Sophomore, Harry Innas. The rest of the squad was rounded out by Patsy DiMnrin, stellar guard, Eddie Tycenski, Treshmen forward sensation, krri 3 Lundgarg, Charles Small, and Gene McMahon. The bright spot of a rather drab season rs the Water-town game which v� s climaxed by brilliant passing by teams resembling two professional quintets more closely than two schoolboy teams. This resulted in a Thomeston victory, 53-24. Coach Edward Stuart is to be praised for hi3 work with the available material and we make a prediction for the next year that Thomeston will be a semi-finalist at the state tournament in Hartford for the first time in eight years. 68 Walter Robinson '46 BOYS' BASKETBALL TEAM GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM The girls' basketball season started December 18, following several practices on Tuesdays and Fridays.

The prospects for next year are exceedingly bright as only two regulars on the entire squad will be lost through graduation. These will be Bob Brown, the stellar goalie and Captain Chet Paczkowski, star of the team, whose brillant plan at right wing earned him the respect of all his opponents. Patsy DiMaria, our left wing, should also be recognized as he turned the tide of battle against Litchfield and Forman by two great kicks which eventually won the games. The team got off to a slow start, for, just as it hit its stride, three members were cut via report cards. However, the team won its last two games convincingly and a good squad is in for next year.

A few years ago I thought this day would never come, but here it is and how my ideas about school and the future have changed! A few years ago I couldn't wait .until I wa3 a Senior. Only one year and then no more homework, no essays to write, ,]ust soend my spare time enjoying myself. But now, I know I'm going to miss it all. Maybe not the home-work,but school is more than that. The things I'll miss the most are:the friends I've made,the good times we've .had together basketball, some of the good times wc.'vc had in assemblies and in class, and. gym twice a week. Before I used to kid and make a big Joke out of what I intended to do when I finished school. I still make a Joke out of it all, but now and. then I stop kidding and. become serious for a while. 3elieve me, the first time I started thinking seriously about the future I was scared a little. It sort of scares you to think that now you have to make a decision as to vhat you really want as a career, and go out on your o’-n and accomplish your goal. There are a lot who h°ve known right along v.’hat they want to do after graduation and. have already made their clans. Still others aren't quite sure yet. I've had an Idea in the back of my head for a long tim0, and I'm determined to oarry it out. That idea is to fly.’ I've been interested in airolanes ever since I can remember. I've saved pictures, read books about them, and even made model airplanes. But wfcat next? This is what scares me. After I learn how to fly, what next? I'm not sure yet. ll . here I am a senior at last! How easy it would be to solve all my problems by coming ' buck to school next September! 76 Louise North 45 SEASONS Spring is the season which brings us all Joy With Its green, green grass and its budding trees. Love's in the air for each girl and boy Walking the lanes in a subtle breeze. Summer's warm weather and full-bloomed flowers Add to the glory of Nature's creation. A shimmering lake in her hottest hours Adds to the joys of a summer's vacation. Autumn's cool and crisp, clear weather Brings the coming thought to children To gather Nature's painted leaves, And fun and frolic in them. Winter spreads her ice and snow, Fashioning ermine trees and silver rivers. Everything glistens and glimmers and know 'Til we experience frosted toes and shivers. Nellie Damlano '48 SIGNS OF SPRING The pussy willows are standing on yonder hill O'er near the river by the old stone mill, The mill that ground wheat in its day When our grandfathers were young and gay. And then further on, are the beautiful hills Whose beauty makes young lovers' hearts thrill, And there are the robins who gaily sing. These are the true signs of spring. Henry Hutchinson '49 77 SOLDIER BOY (With aoologies to Nathalie Crane) Oh I'm in love with a soldier boy And a soldier boy loves me But now he sailed across the sea To fight for you and me. Oh I'm in love with a soldier boy And a soldier bov loves me. He used to olay with a rifle-gun When his work at home was done But now he fires a 70 millimeter gun An hopes that this job T-’ill soon bp done. Oh I'm in love with a soldier boy And a soldier boy loves me. We used to go on country hihes And used to ride our ?-wheel biVes But now he rides in « landing b rge And listens to commands from his serge. Oh I'm in love with n soldier boy And a soldier boy loves me. We write letters by the score And hope that soon we'll need write no more. Zenobia HodVoshi '47 WRITING POETRY I think th� t writing ooems is really nuite amusing, But °fter I've written a few lines I find it nuite confusing. I could write about dop-s, or c ts tis true, But with my meager brain, what could I do? Eleanor Brasche '50 (R°printed with nermission of the Hi-Llte Review) 78 LIF i CF GRANDFATHER CLOCK Well, here I am under a heap of junk, one hand broken and the other gone, with a crack acv;n the middle of my back. Nov; discarded and forlorn I live my last days in misery. Cnee I was a handsome creature. Oh! Yes Iwhcn. I. v cs new my case was shiny and my hands shore like old. My! but I was proud when Mr, Jones walked in and picked me out from every clock in the store. That night I was hoisted up on the shoulders of tfoo husky men and shoved into a huge truck with a lot of other furniture. I bumped and stumbled until I thought I'd crack for sure. When finally the machine came to a halt, I was again roughly taken upon the shoulders of these two men and only then caught a glimpse of my new home. The small white cottage was a welcome sight after my long and tiresome journey. Delivered safe and sound, except for a slight shaking up , I was carefully placed at the foot of the staircase. Every day without fail, Mrs. Jones gave me a rubdewn of the nicest smelling polish. It was all I could do to keep from laughing because she tickled so. When the cat would claw my base, Mrs. Jones would grab his tail and throw him down the cellar stairs. Then I'd be sure to get another rubdewn from my favorite mistress, who would coo to me in loving tones and try to soothe my wounds. At the tine .1 'didii'it realize how short my happiness was to last. About a month after I came to this little cottage Mr. Jones was severely injured and later died as a result of an Occident while on his way to work. Mrs. Jones, trying to forget the past, sold all her furniture anc I was included. Again I was carried bodily into a large cold building. On the auction block I was sold to a stocky, short man with what, in my opinion, were hard, unkind eyes. I hoped and prayed something would happen to me so I wouldn't have to go with this man os I didn't like him. But nevertheless, the next morning I was carried to a dismal, dark mansion. When I saw its run down condition and the weeds in the path all sorts of dreadful things passed through my mind. What was going to happen to me? I was carried into a spacious room and set boldly in the comer by a dusty old bookcase and rocking chair.I shuddered all over to think that soon I might resemble some cf these ancient objects with their filthy covers of dust. I really couldn't understand why this man bought me in the first place, because I sat in that corner for ages just becoming like the things around me. Mildew crept up my glass 79 slowly until I could see onl out of a small hole in the frsne. I just sat there day alter day ready to give up in despa ir. Then it happened! One dark night a peculiar scent came to me and soon an accompanying crackling. Then I saw the bright red flames leaking through the wall on the other side of the room. I wanted to scream or run and warn someone,but being only a clock I had not the ability to do such a thing. The next I know, I was on the shoulders of some men who pulled me to the window. Oops! I was slipping, and--JdA3H! •'.'hon I cams up again I found a long, jagged crack down the middle of my back. That night I rested under the large oak on the lawn in the damp air. Early in the morning I was lifted on a truck with an old lamp, some brass candlesticks and other discarded articles . As we neared the city dump, I knew I hadn't long to live. As I slid from the truck I fell on my g'lass and broke it, so my hands were unprotected, twisted and broken off. During the months deposits of junk have been loaded on my face. Now, here I .am--a crack down the middle of my back; . my glass broken; discarded by everybody. But really I'm happy and contented because there's a little termite who lives in my back ana keeps me company. Jean 31ake '45 SPIilNC When I looked out of the window in April, What do you think I saw! The sun was shining ever so bright, And the snow was beginning to thaw. The buds were popping out of the treesj And a delicate smell filled the air. Then in my heart I truly felt That spring was everywhere. Clara Nedderman '48 IT'S SPRING It's Spring! How do I know? Because I saw it come myself. I saw the buds come out on the trees and the grass grow green. I saw the sky grow blue and the sun grow brighter, I saw a robin and heard him sing. That's how I know it's Spring. How do I know? Because I felt it come myself. I felt the warmth of the world about me, I.felt the soft breeze blow.gently through y hair. I felt the joy of Spring within my he art, That's how I know it's Spring; How do I know? Because I heard it come myself. I heard the peepers in the evening and the buzzing of the bees, I heard the babbling of the free flowing brook, I heard the squirrels chattering among themselves. That's how I know it's Spring. Margaret Blake '50 THE MERRY OLD CROW On the branch of a tree sat a merry old crow, Chattering away with very much glee. As he watched the farmer go out to sow, He cried, I know very well it's all for mej Look hew he scatters the seeds around. He is very kind to the old and poor. But if he'd empty it in a pile on the ground. I could find it more easily, I'm sure! I've learned the tricks of this wonderful man, Who thinks so much of a poor old crow. That Re lays out his fields in a regular plan, And covers the corn he's sown in a row. Herman Glass 4? WOKULKlNO Sometimes 1 get to dreaming— Dreaming of what must have been, And then 1 start woncerir.g--VVonoering if it will be again. Did you ever look through the yearbook? The faces there are mostly unknown, But they were as real as we. Real flesh, hearts, and bone. And then someday, When we are those faces. Will it happen again To those in our places? Will they wonder too. Just as we are doing. What we were like? What we enjoyed doing? i And if they do start Breaming, Does that make them like us? Take a load of this year's children On next year's bus? 82 Judy Hutchinson '47 FEAR Fear is a hidden emotion Like a spark with a hidden light, It stalks you in the daylight And haunts you in the night. It sends its spear-like bloody knife Like lightning down your spine. And deep within your heart you feel Its horrible, maddening whine. Like a monstrous animal it creeps from its den, From the heavy, heated dark. And threatens with its bloody claws To make its indelible mark. Far be it yet for men to say V ithin them fear is unalive, For without its cruel, impressive threat How can anyone survive? Eleanor Bercza 48 GOD JS V ITH THEM When the ships arc on the horizon, And the sun is in the west. They know that God is with them. For soon the day will be at rest. Comes night; the moon is shining. And the sky is blue as blue; Thoy'rc resting peacefully tonight. For God is with them, too. They're wide awake But yet they dream; While out beyond these ship® at sea It's war that's going on. And that they'll soon be in the fight They know, but still don't worry. They want to fight, to kill them off, And come sailing home with glory. 83 Martha Had don '49 RAIN As I walked along the street toward hone, I noticed the sky Trowing dark and I heard the roll of the first thunder. People were scattering to seok shelter, but I walked on and made no attempt to hurry. Then a drop of rain landed on my forehead and gradually mere and more drops came down. It was soothing and gave me a delightful feeling. Around me the people were running and pushing in a great hurry,as if bombs were falling instead of the refreshing rain. The rain danced on the road and played with the wind, first blowing this way, then blowing that way. The sound of the pattering rain on the leaves above seemed to play a delightful li tie song. Then I noticed the rain rushing through the gutter like a miniature river taking everythin that lay in its path. Upon reaching home, I took a hot bath and rubbed my hair until it was dry, then I jumped into some '.- arm clothing and settled down to read a book. Yet,I still couldn't get away from the rain for I could hear it pattering upon the roof like a parade of tin soldiers. To me rain is refreshing; it'3 the cleansing of the world by Mother Nature. How some people can dislike the rain will always be a mystery to me. Bette Barrett '45 ROMANCE The loveliest thing in the world is romance And it can sometimes get you in quite a trance You start by sending her flowers and candy each day And soon for a wedding ring you will pay.' Patricia McGrath '50 (Reprinted with permission of the Hi-Lite Review) 84 THE KIDS WHO SO TO SCHOOL You have heard of the talcs of heroes Of their courage so calm and cool But tell me have you ever heard praise Of the kids who 30 to school? There arc poems of Louis and Edward Who France a d England did rule But you'll search in vain for praise or fame Of the kids who go to school. And even our enemy, Hitler, Who made of himself such a fool Is much more famous in poetry Than the kids who go to school. There are famous men whose honor i3 great From Cheyenne to Liverpool, But, frankly, arc there songs of praise For the kids who go to school? lTow who arc these men, these heroes brave And what is their secret tool? Are they not in years forgotten The kids who went to school? Eleanor Bereza '48 THE STaR When Tommy Bear gets out on the court He throws them in just for the sport. And if he's banished from the game The crowd still love him just the same. Or—with the score tied 20-20 He forgets the girls and plays a'plenty. And when he flips in the last basket, you arc Acquainted more and more with the high school star. Then with his girl who sat in the stands He hurries quickly to get down to Dan's. Eugene McMahon '47 THE SEVENTH GRADE SPEAKS (1st division) Education is a : marvelous thing they say, And book learning can be made ever so gay, This theory is fine but we doubt that it's true, And if you were a student you'd think so tool Each morning at nine a voice may boom And over some.jtrivia thing, you may meet your doom. It may be that you.'re just a minute or two late But to Mr. Ebner it means, See me at eight! Into Miss Avery's room we stroll for English each morn And at the rate she goes,she wants some geniuses born. Manners and etiquette we learn incidentally too. And soon v;e'll be telling Emily Post what to do. Down to Miss Gorman we go for a study each day And into her life we know we bring a sunny ray: We're meek and docile and oh such dears, And we know she'd enjoy us for many more years. Miss Gangloff discusses Con-neticut with us And our notebooks are so full they're ready to bust! But looking at a map and noting Connecticut's small size We wonder how everything she gives us is King size ! A well balanced diet Miss Mazulaitis wants us to eat And if she gets us to do it, she's accomplished a wonderful feat. We're lazy and :Sluggish, teacher, 'tis true, But of worries we have many, not just a few. Along mathematical lines is Miss Ranney's aim And the whiz Joel Kupper-man she tries to shame. This would be fine had we all a brain like his, For then we could answer any question in a math quiz! V ith our little bodies Coach Stuart works each day And by those exercises he sure earns his pay. Vie walk in unaided but need help to core out, For those exercise are worse than any championship bout. Singing comes easy to all of us this year And of our operatic ability Mr. Milief need not fear. We sing’ with such ease, nonchalance and poise That for once Mr.Ebner can't accuse us of making noise. When the day is over at Thomaston High Most of us heave one great big sigh But in our more pensive moments we wonder, too, If ever our teachers feel as v;e do.

Then the Student Council you won't meet. 97 Betty Vilson '49 OUR HERO, SINATRA This is the day, the day of days, The line ends three blocks down; This is what happens every time Sinatra comes to townc Finally the crowd is seated In the seats, on the stairs, in the aisle. Their hearts are beating madly, He'll be or .; on the stage in a while. Then out from die curtain he stumbles, Their Frank.1 e: so meek and mild, The shrieks and shrills are deafening, The girls are going wild. He stands before the microphone. If this place will stand it, I doubt. They're pounding their heads to the seats now; One dame has completely passed out. He opens his delicate, purple lips, He face is a mass of bone, He can just about stand on his skinny legs As he warbles, I'll Walk Alone . This day shall live in the hearts of the girls, And the boys will always frown When they recall that one‘day of all When Sinatra came to town.

At breakfast her cereal she does not eat, Explaining her skirt will lose its pleat. She scrambles around in search of her book, And gives the clock an anxious look. She flies down the street with her coat streaming wide. And arrives at the school with the incoming tide. Hellos are exchanged while the books for the day Are assembled,and ouoerclothes put away. Then as the bell rings 3he is off for her class, Hoping today her exam she will pass. She studies and. dreams for three hours more, Some subjects a joy, seme subjects a bore. 100 The dismissal bell rings; it's time for some lunch. Then home she goes with the rest of'the bunch. She hurries her meal hoping there’s time To rush to the store and spend her last dime. Then she's off again the same as before, But trips or. an object she's dropped on tne floor. She Dicks h. u o and says, r'Oh ht-ok; Look at me now— J°t a perfect wrec’.-.i'' She gets back to scnool without a minute to spare, And sits with haste in the first vacant chair. A shrill ring of the bell and the classes begin; The things that she learns make her head fairly spin. But at last it is over, it's been a hard day, And now it is time to go out to play.
