Algiere -4 iSfr- The Senior Year Book — 1940 (ClaaH ffitBtnrij Three years ago, we were just beginning our Sophomore year. Thus there were many hours of study and hard work before we would be leaving Westerly High School. Yet how rapidly those hours have passed. Presently, many of us will be looking for positions, while others will be thinking of further advancement in their education. Now the day has arrived when we must depart from our classmates and seek for ourselves a place in the world. Before we take leave of all of these cherished days, let us, in retrospect, review' the events which have occurred during our high school career; we find many humorous and many serious incidents. Early in the fall of ’37, the class chose Philip Greene to wield the gavel. Supporting him w'ere Miriam Anderson, vice president; Joseph Mahfood, secretary; and Gloria Ruisi, treasurer. As we were quite susceptible to the pranks of the seniors, w'e had to rely upon our class officers to protect us. Now, we are wondering if they did. From our sophomore class, came many of Westerly’s outstanding athletes; among these are George Mearns, Joseph Mahfood, Clarence DiPaola, Larry Panciera, and Nat Federico. Upon our return to study after the summer vacation, classes w'ere upset by the unforgettable Hurricane of September 21, 1938. After a short unscheduled acation, we eagerly returned to school and elected our junior class officers who were Philip Greene, president; Gerard Nardone, vice president; Mary Morrone, secretary, and John Matarese, treasurer. The Pirates of Penzance,” directed by Mr. Robert Valentine, was presented to the public on February 9th and 10th. and received due recognition from Westerly music lovers. The cast included two soloists from the Class of ’40, Russell Brow'n and Fiammetta Donati, supported by Clarence DiPaola, Joseph Mah- food, Ernest Nardone, and Gerard Nardone, as Pirates. Among the members of the girls’ chorus were the following from the Class of 1940: Madeline Ca-palbo, Ida Cataldo, Elizabeth Langworthy, Cecelia Mathieu, Mary Cozzolino, Marjory Kenyon, Dorothy Nichols, and Mary Ferendo. Through the untiring efforts of John Matarese, we finally obtained enough money to stage a Junior Prom (even though the seniors were doubtful that we could). Much of the success of the prom w'as due to Carolyn Browning and her decorating committee. The appearance of our make-believe ball room was that of an orchard in spring and certainly gave many spring-fever,” as was evident the following Monday. Other steps in making this an eventful year were the winning of the prize speaking contest and the Hi-Y cup by Philip Greene; and of the Martha C. Babcock essay contest by William Clarke. When we returned in the fall of ’39, we were entering upon that highest golden flight of stairs—that flight which meant that we, the Class of 1940, had but one more year of labor in which to complete our high school education. This being our last year, we were prompted to make it unforgettable and to cause it to go down in the records as the greatest year in the history of the Westerly Senior High School. (We hope.) Our first step toward making these few months most outstanding was the election of our class officers. Without any fuss we gave Philip Greene the third term; Gerard Nardone, vice president; Mary Morrone, secretary, and Edgar Freeman, treasurer. The next noteworthy accomplishment was the publication, under Ann Pengelley’s editorship, of the “Senior,” w'hich proved to be both a literary and financial success. The Senior Prom was the third great feather in our cap. The harvest decora- -“•${ ‘9 The Senior Year Book — 1940 tions of cornstalks and pumpkins could not have been better arranged if they had been designed by Hollywood experts. Carolyn Browning and her committee composed of Richard Brindle, Larry Panciera, William Clarke, Henry Nar-done, Grace Harwick, Phyllis Langworthy, Ada Tourtellotte, Adelaide Sanders, Ann Pengelley, Ernest Nardone, Vernon Bell, and Miriam Anderson deserve much commendation for their efforts. Early in 1940, Mrs. Van Horn began to search for talent for the 1940 Senior play, “The Late Christopher Bean.” She chose a brilliant cast, including Philip Greene as the undistinguished rural doctor; Phyllis Langworthy as the nineteen-year-old daughter; Everett Willis as the village painter and paperhanger; William Clarke as the elderly and distinguished gentleman from New York; Emilia Lera as the wife of the country doctor; Eiammetta Donati as the famous “Abby;” Russell Brown as the smooth, youngish New Yorker; Roland Berardo as the oily, affable, middle aged man from the city, and Delphine Arnone as the daughter with the babylike manner. The comedy proved to be a true dramatic triumph. The business section of the play was extremely well handled by Rita Servideo, Eleanor Urso, William Kaskewsky, Angeline Gencarella, and their many assistants. Class night, the reception, the banquet, and graduation followed one another rapidly. Sometimes when we look back at those many hours we have spent in school, we see things that we regret, but, oh, so many more for which we are deeply thankful. THE HISTORIANS, Sheila Breckenridge, Virginia Kenney, Arthur Nelson. (Ulaas Jjnrnt THE CLASS OF 1940 “Wisdom is like a dawn that rises slowly Out of an unknown ocean,” so we say. Classmates of nineteen-forty may its beauty Brighten the dawn of this, our glorious day. Our day of graduation which is ending Three years of fine companionship with you, And gracious Westerly, to you we promise That we will make our prophecy come true. We hope that all the pathways that divide us May come together every little while. And when we meet and pass along the highway Friend will greet friend with a familiar smile. Daylight is here, and life begins with sowing; We’ll tend the seeds of knowledge here begun That they may grow to splendid heights and show us A perfect flowering with the setting sun. —Fiammetta Donati —•§{ 20 J - The Senior Year Book — 1940 ®hr Junior (Hlaas CLASS OFFICERS Normand Andrews . . President Joseph Capalbo . . Vice President Kenneth Astill was burning. The strange part of it was that he made no attempt to extinguish the flames which swept over his body, but instead proceeded to give his startled audience a demonstration of his uncanny ability to emit very funny remarks absolutely ad libitum (which is Latin for extemporaneously). He was bringing to an end the program which had been so successfully begun by the tap-dancing of Stanley Gould, whose clever and precise imitation of Fred Astaire brought down the house. In going back to Kenneth, we find that he does not confine his wit and imagination to the legitimate (?) stage, but is a writer of no mean ability, and his contributions to that widely read magazine, THE SENIOR, are frequent and well received. Eleanor Neville and Phyllis Brown are other juniors who have had many of their stories printed in the Senior. In addition to this, Eleanor has written a play which may be produced in the auditorium before the end of the year. Speaking of sports (pray, tell us who was?), it is interesting to note that the juniors dominated. Johnny Stellitano, Benny Servideo, Ike Smith, Tom and Joe Capalbo, Stan Russell, Frank Gen-carelli, and more were all members of the squad which is determined to rout Stonington next year, to avenge the two football defeats suffered last fall. Those defeats have already been partly avenged by our basketball team, which went over to Stonington one night and won by a margin which we cannot print because of lack of space. The juniors on our Richard Donati .... Treasurer Hannah Clapham . . . Secretary team were Walt Bressette, Hal Miner, and again, John Stellitano. All of which shows that we are not lacking in enthusiasm for sports. But don’t think we are lacking in school spirit, either. For there was a time, early in the year, when the treasury contained the staggering sum of one dollar. As you may know, with one dollar, a class can’t give a prom, not a very good one, anyway. About all we could do was hire a piano player and hope for the best. As it was, the junior class, realizing that not having a prom would break the hearts of those sturdy alumni who think it a sin to break a tradition, decided to do something about it. So within two days after their minds were made up, the treasury was overflowing with funds, enough to give a promenade so gorgeous as to bring tears to the eyes of the most conservative alumnus. Of course, all this required a little campaigning and persuading on the part of the treasurer, Dick Donati, but it proved that the Class of ’41 has the spirit which is needed to make a class successful. We have attempted to give you a summary of the activities of the junior class of 1941. In doing so, we realize that many well deserving juniors received no mention. To those juniors we extend our humblest apologies. Though some of us succeeded in sports, others in music, literature, dancing, scholarship, dramatics, and art, we all have one thing in common and of that we are proud. We are all members of one of the finest jun-:or classes ever to decorate Westerly High. -•• !( 21 TOT —BACK ROW—R. Nardone, II. Colling. J. Ralls. L. Chiarndin. T. ’apalbo. J. Capa I bo.

The Senior Year Book — 1940 Slip § ophmwirr (Clans If you see a tall fellow with a physique like Johnny Weismuller’s, wandering about the corridors of Westerly High, you’ll know that it is our class president, Wally Greig. If in the course of your travels you come across a young man with a hot temper, don’t try to calm him down because its none other than Mike Guarino, our vice president. A young lady popular with both sexes and having a talent for writing is our class secretary, Loretta Devine. Saul Saila was chosen treasurer because of his ability to handle and keep track of money. (If we ever get any.) The sophomore talent show was one of the best programs we have had in assembly this year. It was presented on the day after that terrific blizzard (remember?). Most of the pupils, who couldn’t get to school that day because of the storm (?), wanted the sophomores to give the program over again. Lily Tamer was the teacher of the class of sophomores, and she did an excellent piece of work at taking teacher’s place for a period. All the students passed their examination the first time with the exception of Gene Rose, that cute little number who ended up on the dunce stool, but who, given a retrial, made a victorious comeback despite the laughs of the audience. Angelo Sposato, James Sisco, and Pat Toscano added their bit to the show by playing very effectively their version of “Little Sir Echo” on their harmonicas. Frank Farina gave a sketch appropriately entitled “The Congo.” At one minute he had the audience (including the teachers) in tears, and the next he had them all crouching down in their seats. We’ll be seeing you on Broadway in a few years, Frank. Eleanor Narciso and Gertrude Schwabe sang a duet entitled “Sweetheart.” Wasn't it cute the way Ike slid down in his seat when Gert came to the chorus? Pat Evers had us actually looking for a swelling on the end of her nose because of the realistic manner with which she gave her poem. Connie Wright and Minnie Loughborough gave a cute tap routine that made us think we were watching “Astaire and Rogers.” Gerard Nardone offered a selection on the violin entitled “Ave Maria.” The playing was exceptionally good but the violin seemed a little off key. Sorry pal! Harold Paine, maestro of the piano, gave a selection entitled “The Priests March.” It sounded like Paderewski. Harry Crandall and Pete DePerry went to town with In the Mood”, Harry at the piano and Pete with the drums. If you put Eddy Duchin and Gene Krupa alongside of Harry and Pete, you might find a difference, but not much. Nice work, boys! You did a bang-up job. Ginney Brightman showed a real talent in accompanying the varied singers, also as an announcer. Nine-tenths of the credit for the success of this show goes to Miss Matarese, who spent all of her spare time rehearsing the sophomores. The sophs didn’t do so badly in sports this year, either. The outstanding players in basketball were Eddy Gencarelli, Jimmy Sisco (better known as Dead-wood), John Williams, Pete DePerry, Dino Panciera, Seagal Ralls, and many others. Don’t feel slighted, boys, if your name isn’t here, for time and tide wait for no man. - Si 24 )►- TOl —BACK ROW—L. Tamer, K. Smith. N Sacco, J. Cotter. K. Berardo. MIDDLE ROW V. Oaclonc.

Miss Dorothy Hanson, Miss Aim Last year’s practice of the students publishing their own “Senior” was successfully repeated this year. Under the direction of Ann Pengelley, the editor, with the able assistance of her staff, the magazine concluded a very gratifying year in the field of literature, as well as in that of finance. The Literary Department, supervised by Russell Brown, awarded prizes to the author of the best story, essay, and poem in each issue. Adelaide Sanders, the designer of the most appropriate cover for the February issue, was also among the recipients. This year the board has also furnished some outside entertainment. Last fall it produced for an assembly program the play, “The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife.” The cast was entirely composed of members of the board, and included: Ting Donati, Phil Greene, Vernon Bell. Grace Harwick. Henry Nardone, Bill Clarke, Gerard Nardone, and Edgar Freeman. The leads were taken by Ting Donati as the “dumb” wife and Gerard Nardone as her pitiful and suffering husband. They were ably supported by the rest of the cast, especially by the well known humor of Eddie Freeman as the blundering assistant of two doctors who performed certain spectacular operations. The cast immensely enjoyed presenting this comedy, and their efforts were highly praised by the student body. There was little deviation from the usual set-up of departments, there being awarded proportionate space for the stories, essays, poems, Exchanges, Alumni, Tattles, Daily Flashes, Athletics, Here and There, and Photography. The publication and distribution were left to Business Manager Mary Morrone and her staff. Their efficient cooperation was in a large measure responsible for our success. -••if 29 The Senior Year Book — 1940 8 tut pnt Cmturil STl’DENT COUNCIL Hark How—J. Mahfood. II. Nartlone, F. ComolU.

This year’s president was Philip Greene, and he was assisted by Normand Andrews, vice president, and Mary Morrone, secretary. The administrative powers of the organization have been, of necessity, limited. Nevertheless, it has been actively engaged in sponsoring several successful and entertaining dances in the school’s gymnasium and cafeteria. Traffic regulation in the corridors was under the control of a council sub-committee, whose power it was to select officers to patrol the corridors. Those officers were: Ting Donati, Dick Donati, James Pignataro, Pat Castagna, Dot Stoppello, Larry Pan-ciera, Henry Nardone, Joe Mahfood, Mike Guarino, Morris Young, Jacqueline Tu-rano, and Charles Abbruzzese. Many other undertakings for the bet- terment of the school have been successfully worked out. The selling of candy at the basketball games by Ada Tour-telotte, Eleanor Urso, Grace Harwick, Ting Donati, Irene Paladino, Emelia Lera, Dot Nichols, Helen Coy, and Everett Willis made possible the providing of refreshments for members of visiting basketball teams, by the same committee. In the early fall a drive was held to raise funds to purchase uniforms for the band. Many other activities have been undertaken by the Student Council, about which we have not heard, but the direct and efficient results of which we have felt. This year, as usual, the invaluable assistance of Miss Sybil Leach, advisor, has been paramount in making our Student Council an efficient and vital organization. “• ( 30 ►- STITDKNT PATROL Standing_Charles bruzzei e.

Craters’ (Club This club was founded to give all the girls of the school more of an opportunity to enjoy extra-curricular activities. The officers for this year were Carolyn Browning, President; Constance Harvey, Vice President; Mary Morrone, Treasurer; Carolyn Crandall, Secretary. Since it seemed necessary to have some permanent committees to take care of any events that might arise, the following were established: the Ways and Means Committee, the School Spirit Committee, the Publicity Committee, the Social Committee, and the Point System Committee. The Ways and Means Committee considers and plans how to give everyone a good time and, incidentally, make a little money. The School Spirit Committee is made up of cheer leaders for all the sports. The Social Committee takes care of the dances—programs, patrons, decorations, etc. This is perhaps the most industrious group of all. Not to be overlooked is the excellent work done by the Publicity Committee, which makes posters for any important event and sends notices to the newspaper. The Point System Committee has developed a new way for the girls to earn their varsity letters. Home Room Representatives, chosen each year by the various rooms, keep the girls informed of the coming activities. No one who has attended the dances sponsored by the Leaders’ Club could question the social prestige of the group; and, because of its various social successes, the club has been able to build up an enviable financial reputation. Many other clubs might well envy its success and its prosperous treasury. Many activities and people have profited by the generosity of this group. The Leaders have contributed to the Swing Orchestra, to the Cross Country team, and to the Basketball Championship team. Three well established annual traditions of the Leaders’ Club are the popular Army and Navy basketball game, the sale of scrapbooks for recording school happenings, and the sale of “school spirit pins.” With Miss Walker as its advisor, the Leaders’ Club has achieved a great deal during the two years that it has functioned. The girls, throughout these two years, have enthusiastically cooperated, proving that “School Spirit” is a well earned motto for a club that has great promise. Tiif Si nior Vfar Book — 1940 SWING BAND Robert Young. William Clarke. Richard Donati. Joseph Mahfood. Irene I’aladino luting llattii This last year, the students were smitten quite severely with the jive craze. To augment, or possibly to supplement, this trend, a swing band came into existence. The boys and girls with special talent in hitting hot notes got together by mutual agreement, and a five-piece jazz band was the happy result. The band played, so the members say, for their own pleasure, but the conscientiousness with which they practiced, week after week, seems to indicate that they worked to please the public with their arrangements of the current jump hits. Although the acoustics was not particularly good in the room where they practiced, sometimes an outburst of “Rose Room” was clearly audible in remote parts of the building, and, for a limited period, everyone could hear them “tearin’ it down.” “Rose Room,” by the way, was the band’s theme song, and their arrangement was really solid. The personalities in the band were as interesting as they were contrasting. Our “assistant chemistry professor” (self termed), Bob Young, possesses, along with his other talents, that of “blowing horn.” W. H. S. was blessed with the presence of an ace drummer boy, embodied in the athletic, likeable Joe “Mex” Mahfood, a valuable asset to the school, and the idol of many sophomore boys and senior girls. The retiring, self-expressing tenor sax man was this year’s valedictorian, Bill Clarke. Irene “Tillie” Paladino, the only girl star in the band, can make any tin-ear transform into a jive hound, if she can get her hands on the keyboard of a piano. Dick Donati, the guitar-man, could easily make his career center around his guitar. Why listen to Charlie Christian, when Dick lives just around the corner? And thus, it is with reluctance that we see the band somewhat disrupted by commencement, but we hope that the work will be carried on with equal zest by future aspirants to musical renown. - • 34 )§►- The Senior Year Book — 1040 ENGLISH FOLK DANCERS Buck Row—K.

Indians danced before they went to war. The practice seemed to give them courage and even strength to face the enemy, but the English peasants danced to express joy, perhaps over a victory or for some great anniversary. Today folk dancing is an activity which might be called a hobby. In the early summer, a teacher from a prominent college in Florida comes to North Stonington, where she holds folk dancing classes once a week. People come from miles around to dance the familiar, and to learn the newer, more difficult dances. Toward the end of the season, she chooses, from the regular dancers, a team for exhibition. On a set date, they dance for the public. It is a very colorful affair, especially when danced on the green grass under floodlights on a cool summer evening with the girls in their picturesque peasant costumes and the boys in white. Many people believe folk dancing hard and are afraid to try, but in reality it is not too difficult. There are about eight or nine simple steps used in carrying out all of the dances. The Westerly High School students are very fortunate in having a class of this type offered to them. The members of the club had a great deal of fun learning, and we sincerely believe that if more were to take advantage of this opportunity, they would be thoroughly rewarded with the results. On Wednesday, March 12, the folk dancing club presented a program for the Westerly Lions’ Club. The girls danced in to the tune of “Country Gardens,” and executed about six special dances. These seemed to be thoroughly enjoyed by both the performers and the audience. The following Thursday, the club entertained the students by giving the weekly assembly program in honor of St. Patrick. The dances were, therefore, mostly of Irish origin, and were so well executed that the students actually believed themselves to be in Ireland, watching the annual festivities. 35 }$•” The Senior Year Book — 1940 CAMERA CLUB Back Row James DiPallina.

(Camera (Club Although this is the first year Westerly High School has been able to boast a camera club, the club has made steady progress in its chosen field. This, the members feel, is due to the expert help of Mr. Stopford, our director. The club officers are President, James Dipollina; Secretary and Treasurer, Patricia Evers. The members meet once a week, after school hours, to accomplish the work connected with this very fascinating hobby. They supply the cameras, film, developing material, and, although they finance it themselves, the club has a large membership. Under the guidance of Mr. Stopford the club has carried out such interesting projects as developing, enlarging, discussions on picture taking, kinds of filters and camera attachments, indoor picture taking, and picturing nature studies. The group has experimented with the various shutter openings and exposures of pictures, marking down the exposures which turned out best. Perhaps, in the future, the most outstanding achievement of the Camera Club will be its contribution to the photography department of the “Senior.” The Senior Year Book — 1940 Football Surely there is no sport more colorful and popular than football! It is impossible to estimate the enjoyment experienced by both team and spectators as they participate in and witness this lively battle fought under cool, blue autumn skies. Thus a brief summary of the team and the games cannot come amiss. The co-captains of the 1939 team were Joseph Mah-food, Clarence Di-Paola. and Lawrence Panciera, and these boys did an admirable piece of work in leading their teammates. Three of the 1939 players, “Mex” Mahfood, “Crow” Panciera, and Johnny Stellitano, were elected to the State Class B team. Although the 1939 football team did not have a perfect season, it seems probable, in view of the material on hand, that Coach Mudge ill turn out an unusually good team for 1940. John Stellitano was elected captain for next season’s Mudgemen. Twelve comely students this year led our lusty cheers for the “Blue and White.” Regardless of the team’s record, we know the inestimable value the players derived from their fine job.

(Ernaa (Cintutrq The 1939 cross country team brought the Class B Championship to Westerly for the third successive year as it captured three out of four dual meets, won the State meet, and placed fifth in the New England. Victories were scored over Stonington twice, over Chapman Tech, and over North Kingstown. The lone defeat was sustained at the hands of the outstanding R. I. State Freshman squad. Westerly was led by Captain Raymond Hindle, who won four races, and was the first Westerly runner to finish in all seven starts. Following Hindle were Robert Schilke, Douglas Graham. Walter Latham, Rob Hindle, William Eleaz-er, and Paul Algiere, who were the runners representing Westerly in the championship races. Patsy Cappuccio, Sam Toscano. Emilio Faiola, Frank Genese, Arthur Nelson, Louis Cimalore, George Random, and Kenneth Sayles were other prominent members of the squad. In winning the Class B championship, the Westerly team defeated eight other Rhode Island schools, recording the low score of 29 points.

Front -“■� ( 4 ► - The Senior Year Book — 1940 Saakrtball The basketball team of ’39 and ’40, under Coach James Federico and Assistant Coach Prentice Kenyon, brought the Class B Championship to Westerly High School, and, in so doing, wrote several new records into the annals of basketball history. Besides being the first Westerly team to win a Class B Championship in basketball with twenty victories in twenty-three games, the team scored 1273 points to establish an all-time Rhode Island record, 158 points in one game to set a national high school and college record, and 23 free throws in one game for a new state record. As an individual star, Captain George Mearns landed in the hall of fame by scoring 394 points to beat the previous state record by 53 points, and 62 points in one game for a national record. He also merited the first all-state position ever awarded a Westerly player. Credit is also due to other members of the squad who contributed to the success of the season, among these Walter Bressette, Nat Federico, Harold Miner, John Stellitano, and Sam Toscano. The achievement of the championship team is due to the efforts of the coach and the fine cooperation of the team.
