Dick: Yes, Miss Wilson. I am Mr. Carpenter. You called me yesterday about my daughter Barbara. Did I understand you to say she has been causing you trouble lately? Ioan: l am sorry. Mr. Carpenter. Miss Wilson is located next door in the kindergarten, Dick: Oh, I beg your pardon. fLooking toward a picture of Wethersfield Highl I see you have a picture of Wethersfield High, my alma mater. Ioan: ffriendlierl You went to W. H. S.? Why. I graduated from there in '51, ten years ago. - Dick: So did l! flocking at her closelyl Why, you must be . . . Well, well of all people . . . Ioan I-'ranckumf' Ioan: funcertainlyl You're not: no. it can't be: yes, it is . . . Dick Carpenter. fShake handsl. Dick: Ten years really makes a difference. Wethersfield was a great school, wasn't it? Ioan: lt really was. l'll always remember our freshman year. We felt pretty big when the Seniors gave a dance in our honor. Dick: flaughingl Yes, I believe two freshman couples attended that dance. Oh well, we were still young. then. Ioan: And wasn't that the year we organized our Student Council? It certainly planned a lot for the students and solved many of our problems. Dick: 'We were very proud to begin politics. Ioan: Remember our funny math? I never could quite figure out what all those letters meant. Dick: Oh, you mean Algebra. That wasn't too hard for me. Remember the choir? Ioan: I certainly do. I believe that was the year we sang Christmas Car' ols while walking through the halls. Dick: I'll never forget our days in Room 208. It seems Caesar was always getting himself in trouble, but 'we Romans' really knew our stuff! Ioan: fleading wa to chairsl As sophomores we had the thrill of out lives. W. H. was State Soccer Champ! Dick: We were proud to have Ed Budd and Ed Hayes represent our class on the team that year. Ioan: Yes, the fellows really did a wonderful job. Dick: Remember the 'butch' haircuts the team had? Ioan: Yes, It became such a fad that practically every fellow in the school had one-even Mr. Strom! Dick: And then basketball. I believe that was the year King. Hayes. Gworek and uh-Steege made the I. V.'s. Ioan: Let's not mention basketball scores. though. We didn't do anything worth mentioning until our Iunior year when we beat an undefeated team. Dlck: That was'almost a mistake. It was our Senior year in which we really shone. We lost very few games then. Ioan: Remember our first Faculty-Varsity game? That really was a scream. The Faculty Cheerleaders were 'hot stuff', weren't they? Dick: flaughingl You bet. Their team didn't even know where the baskets were: they aimed in almost every direction. Ioan: The second Faculty-Varsity game was even better with Mr. Back- man's funeral! Dick: Ha! Ha! And wasn't lack Dulaney a panic as the monkey? Ioan: Oh, he sure was! I'll never forget that. Dick: And then the baseball season rolled around. Who was on the team from our class that year? Farr, Bossidy, Budd, uh-Bittner, and uh-. Ioan: Red Schumann. They did a grand job. Dick: For the first time we elected our class officers: Ed Budd, President. Ed Hayes, Vice-President, Ianice Grant, Secretary, and Iune Bell as Treasurer. Ioan: Yesl They really did a lot for our class. Our Snow Frolic was a grand success, wasn't it? Dick: It surely was! Barb' O'I-Iara and Tom Gworek were the co-chair- men. 30
