' wf:Rir'f' S., MW F O R E W O R D OUR BRIDGE TO THE FUTURE A bridge, be it a magnificent structure over a mighty river or a simple arc over some tiny bubbling brook. is a sign of man's progress and initiative. That bridge is a monument to someones desire to pro- ceed despite any obstacles. We who live in West Haven are familiar with many bridges of varying types and for numerous purposes. Whatever the direction, traveling in or out of our town, one must, of necessity, pass either over or under some sort of bridge. However, not all bridges can be seen or touched. There exists, in all our lives, many gaps and obstacles which must be effectively crossed if true happiness and success are to be realized. Picture, then, another bridge - one of sturdy fiber constructed only as a result of much planning, hard work, and imagination. Picture the bridge which we. the class of 1957, have created to span the gaps of knowledge, maturity, and experience in this most important period of our lives. Picture the culmination of four years of hard work and good fun. It's our bridge to the future. We have constructed it, and now we have the right to cross over it, ready and willing to meet our next challenge. whatever it may be, on our many roads to the future. + Xb q 52 Z I 'N' iam... ,.., -u, , , iNd3iiS5f?WN'1'-'-'5v?51'm' ?vt7fL3Lm.i.i.-i!isi1..,.

C arol Hansen DEDICATION The class of 1957 takes great pleasure in .bestowing its highest honor on one whose ability and charm merit the respect and affection of all. As sophomores we were soon won over by the warm and informal atmosphere which made the learning of geometry such a pleasant task. This teacher combined expert instruction with genuine friendliness, and was ever eager to give help or advice. Her work in collect- ing class dues and conducting drives has been marked by the patience, experience, and efhciency she has dis- played in all her endeavors. Forgetful of herself and mindful of others, she has been an important engineer in the construction of our Bridge To The Future. In appreciation for her contributions to our school, her unselfish devotion of time and energy to the student body, and her inspiring example, we, the class of 1957, proudly dedicate this edition of the Blue Flame to our friend and teacher, Miss Dorothy Smith. o HWT Bu lk-D Fl I Miss DOROTHY C.

Many people, particularly your teach- ers, have tried to put success within your grasp, but you yourself determine the height to which you shall climb. All people can make a success of their lives, wherever they happen to be, if they will only correct the faults in themselves instead of looking for faults in the people and places around them. I congratulate you upon your gradu- ation and I know your achievement warms the hearts of your parents, your friends and the faculty. We all expect great things from you as you climb the Ladder of Life. Your opportunity is an enviable one, for the world needs much improvement. Your worth to yourself, and the world, is measured by what you contribute each day in usefulnessg and success is the sum of the days. Good-bye and God bless you. al , .,f,,., A Q V gf., A K tt,k lity . t DR. MELVIN E. WAGNER Superintendent of Schools 2 E 6 f Z7 0 4 121 MR. EDWARD L. BENNETT MR. GERMAIN J. GABRIEL Director of Business Education Gridance Counselor Department A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL One of the saddest duties a principal has is to bid farewell to his graduating class. However, graduation is better termed Commencement as it is not the end but the beginning of a rich life. I cannot tell you that the future is bound to be bright and rosy, full of joy and stability. You are heirs to a responsibility greater than that re- ceived by most of your predecessors. You must rise to that responsibility. I ask that you have the faith and the courage to overcome the challange of these trying times. Make every effort to improve yourselves mentally and spiritually. Always remember that what you do in the future will reflect upon the school that provided you with your basic educational training. in-....,.. 5 5 X :ui A I uen P , -Q Q zl Z 3 U ...ui MR. D.

J Emilio Bonazzoli TEAM THRILLS FANS DESPITE POOR SEASON Starting his first year for West Haven as the youngest coach in the district league, Billy Irons was greatly handicapped by a young and inexperienced team. In spite of this, the Westies turned in a very creditable season, bringing many a fan to his feet with their fine display of determination and spirit. It was this undaunted spirit which won a spot in our memories for this year's teamg for although they were constantly pitted against superior teams, the Westies always fought valiantly. Thus, while winning only a few games, they were a team to be proud of in future years. Captain Bob Ulrich confers with his coaches. Q ..- u H ui --' a , W L . ' t .

BOOTERS GAIN STATE FINALS TOURNEY LOSS MARS PERFECT SEASON West Haven's soccer team concluded a very successful season by gaining an invitation to the state tournament. Although classed as the underdog in their tournament game against Manchester, the Westies showed once again the spirit that had prevailed all fall by holding their opponents scoreless until the last period. Ir was late in this last period that Manchester scored on the Westies, thus spoiling their chances for an unbeaten season. The Westie soccer team will not be remembered for their unfortunate loss in the tournament but for their unbeaten season in the District League games. Ths record was made possible by the effort of players such as George Ross. George, besides scoring himself, sparked many of the drives which led to goals by setting up plays for the fine Westie line. The other seniors, Buddy Abbott, Alex Fisher, Tommy Hamilton, Bill Kupinse, jim MacVeigh, and Richie Pilletere, also performed a fme job and added much to the team effort. However, it was not the individual players but the team which gained the Westies their record. The team consistently played a good brand of ball, showing team work and school spirit. ,...4q,uygm West West West West West West West West Half-back George Ross scores.

HOCKEY TEAM SHINES AGAINST DISTRICT FOES The West Haven hockey team ended the season with a record of 2-4-1 in the District League. The combination of Thomas Heffernan and james Swain enabled the Westies to sweep over Hillhouse and Wilbur Cross, 6-0 and 2-l, respectively. The Westies, dominating the Hillhouse game throughout, got bril- liant goal tending from john Wilson. In a hard- fought contest against Amity, the Shoretowners re- mained on top for most of the game but Amity scored the tying goal in the last fifty-three seconds. Neither team could find the mark during overtime. Goalie Richie Anderson makes a save during practice. BASKETBALL TEAM DISPLAYS SPUNK AND SPORTSMANSHIP The West Haven Hoopsters ended their season posting a 3,15 record, Leading the Westies' scoring parade for the year were Franklin Blake and Pasquale Delvlaio, The Foley men started out with two sizzling victories over Ansonia. Highlighting the season was a thriller registered over Notre Dame in a 51-48 triumph. Towards the late stages of this game, the Knights made an attempt to overtake the Westies, but the Blue Devils kept their upperhand until the buzzer sounded.

Leading the Mainstreeters on the mound was William Neleski who tacked up a sparkling victory against Saint Mary's. In the hitting department, Frank Bergami contributed to the team's efforts with his steady hitting. John Skarlos, with his speedy base-running, earned the team many stolen bases.

KEGLERS WIN HONOR WITH FINE SHOWING The XX'est Haven bowling team ended its season with a record of 19-I7, The Westies finished strong in three games over Hillhouse to register the wins which tied them with I-Iamden for the first position in the district league. The league was operated on a handicap basis, and the Blue Keglers were forced to spot weaker teams up to thirty-five pins a game, which constantly put the pressure on them, The 1957 team was led by Robert and Richard Oakes and Frederick Guarino, As we see him from the pin end of the alley, Bob Oakes displays good form. George Ross throws for a strike while Bob Oakes looks on Dick Oakes aims for that last pin.

Miss Esther Barnet, faculty adviser, directed the students in these strange demonstrations. The purpose of the club is to give students, with a high aptitude in chemistry, the opportunity to view experiments which they might not ordinarily see at regular classes.

Our crew, 463 strong, trouped into the auditorium where Miss Mildred Snavely gave us instructions con- cerning our first year's activities. As soon as we were settled in our assignments and the excitement had died down, intelligence examinations were issued and tuberculosis X-ray tests followed. November '55 When November came around our crew participated in an exciting football rally the day before the big game. All eyes were rurned towards the Turkey-Day classic. -J- As had been the custom for too many years, the Blue and White bowed to Hillhouse 21-7. December '53. After instruction was resumed and we had become better acquainted with one another, 39 delegates were elected to represent us in the student council. Soon after, a few boys were appointed to a squad, the last of its kind, which regulated traffic in and around the building site. Also, in this month, the Fall Sports Dance was held. Frank Paulemis and Barbara Jandrok were chosen king and queen of this fun-fllled affair. if . ' J . . . retr si...........iy FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS.
