Many of us will go on to a higher education: each will continue, in some way, to mature and to grow mentally: but I believe that no experiences in any of our lives will ever surpass the satisfying four years of our high school careers. We have studied and learned and broadened ourselves in many ways, but most important of all we have grown up. This is the reward for the work we have done and the dividend of the en- joyment we have had. We could not have made a better investment. This book has been a labor of love to all concerned and would have been im- possible without the tremendous job done by each member of the staff and without the invaluable help of our faculty adviser, Miss Rae Colson. My sincerest thanks to all these and to the members of the class for electing me to edit their yearbook. It has been an honor and a privilege. 4 .ff 'si 2 Q ' w X , l .- c hi , .Vp , :jf..4 4 , 'iw EAS Y l its - MESSAGE Our senior year, climaxed by Com- mencement week and graduation, leads us into a world that is full of responsi- bility, a world in which security is almost non-existent. The situation of interna- tional confusion makes it very apparent that the hope of the world of tomorrow lies in the youth of today. We are part of that hope. XVhen we are thrust into the world of today, be it into the field of higher learn- ing, into the business world, or into the service of our country, the way we act will depend in a large measure on the principles and ideals which were instilled in high school. Though we have grasped a part of the knowledge before us at W.H.S., we must remember that learning does not stop here. We must continue to learn with an ever greater effort, for to stop now would be to waste part of the knowledge we have acquired thus far. We must con- tinue learning to the day we die. Ours is not to waste on forgetfulness but to utilize in action. Wherever fate shall take us, whatever goal we shall strive toward, to all, the fondest memory will still be of our years here at W.H.S. 4353?-tif We express our gratitude to those who have guided us in our youth.

S24 5 GQ guy MF' U fjff UiJ?NP5 wiv M CLASS HISTORY There we were-tiny little uneducated underlings fearfully entering our first year of high school. They called us freshmen. All around us were colossal figures of upper- classmen, in particular the towering, learned sages known as seniors. Do you remember our first dance at W.H.S.? It was given in our honor by the senior class that first fall year of high. It was a thrilling experience for many of us, although we danced some three feet from our partners, and had to be in by twelve P.M. We certainly felt proud when Phil Almquist represented our freshman class in the All-State Chorus--and when Ronny Kozuch made varsity baseball that year. From the very beginning we could see that our class was something special. Suddenly we were Sophomores, with a whole bus load of swell kids chugging in from Rocky Hill ro join us. Our Hrst class election was an all important event. For our president we chose Gordon Johnson, vice president, Ray D'Atilliog Pete Pescosolido, secretary, and to take care of our money, we made Barbara Modeen treasurer. We were fortunate in receiving two wonderful teachers to aid us through our career, Miss Cheney and Mr. Wilson have done more than their share as our class advisers, and we are indeed grateful to them. Soon after school opened, a rare phenomenon hit the class-a few of our pretty Soph lassies began to look queer and all washed out. They seemed to wear the funniest getups. What really hurt was that they didn't speak to the fellows for almost two weeks! I never did understand what it was all about. l That year several of the boys were playing on the Jayvee basketball team, and our cute little redhead, Birdie Owen, did cheers for them. Those were the good old days, when we waited in line on the freezingest nights for the doors to open to the games, and then the mad rush for seats. After yelling ourselves hoarse all night C and naturally Wethersfield won the games anywayj we trooped down to Mac's or Sunny's for a bite. We were really on the stick by this time. Our biggest project all year was the staging of our first dance. We elected Joyce Backman and Pete Pescosolido as co-chairmen, and decided to call the dance the Snow Frolic . Marcia Seymour and Carl DeSanto were chosen to plan the decorations, Winnie Bardons and Phil Almquist took over the job of feeding us, Audrey Keefe and Pete Storms transacted the business, Lilian Petersen and Johnny Hayes did the publicity work, and Ann Marie Krupenevich and Louie Alberico hired the orchestra. Everyone who attended the Hop agreed that it was a great success. The efforts of our hard-working decorators showed nice results. Music was furnished by the popular Sid Winnick and his orchestra. This year we were quite honored when Joyce Baird was elected secretary of the Senior High Student Council. We felt that wonderful sense of belonging when we ordered our class rings. Judy Gable, Bob Judson, and Bruce Lovell were the members of our Ring Committee. When we came back as juniors, a few of us behind steering wheels of odd-looking vehicles, we jumped right into the swim of school. There were a select few who spent most of their time in the secret depths of the projector room, coming in late for classes. Also there were those who received a One Month Sentence for acting up in the library. To start off our year right, we elected a quartet of bright-haired officers: Bruce Lovell, president, Phil Almquist, vice-president, Joyce Backman, secretary, and Lorraine Orlando, treasurer. Almost immediately we began drawing plans for our spring formal, the Junior Prom. Judy Gable and Pete Storms served us well as co-chairmen. Joyce Baird and Bruce Whitaker solved our business troubles, and Theresa Samek and Billy Adams managed the decorations. Once again we asked our class musician, Ann Marie Krupenevich, to find us a good orchestra, with the help of our already-popular class- mate, Lars Bengston. Winnie Bardons again looked after refreshments with Ed Flynn, and Joan Burkhart and Phil Stiles handled publicity. With such capable committees, our Spring Fever was bound to be a sensation. The gym looked beautiful, with a luscious rose arbor, green and white streamers fioating overhead, and a big 52 in the center. The music of Sid Winnick was at its usual, best. Almost every junior was present at this gala affair, at which bubbling little Judy Gable and jolly Pete Storms ' were crowned Queen and King. The queen's attendants were Joyce Backman, Theresa Samek, Marilyn Moore, and Joan Burkhart, all as lovely as could be. Bruce Lovell f' fy was elected the court jester. m I And of course we can never forget Youth Government Week, in which many of us x dl- A took art.

Both gave their senior running mates quite a match. Special honors went to jean MacCubrey and joan Kudla for their excellent speeches in the American Legion Oratorical Contest, to john Sullivan for winning an award in the National Scholastic Writing-Contestg to Ginnie Degutis, whose original poster won a prize in a national contest, and to Ann Krupenevich and Elise Reichert for coming out so well in the National French contest. Also crowded into this busy year was the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, The Pirates of Penzance. Ann Krupenevich and Ginnie Degutis made their operatic debuts in this production. Our junior year came to a perfect close when our lordly superiors graduated from W.H.S., choosing Judy Gable and Billy Adams to marshal at their graduation exercises. Well, here we are, Seniors! Every one of the class agrees that this is without a doubt his busiest, fullest, and best year of all. For- our class officers we elected Phil Stiles, president, Bob Logan, vice-presidentg Audrey Keefe, secretary, and Ann Krupenevich, treasurer. John Sullivan was elected the Editor of the 1952 Elm. One evidence of our Seniority is seen in our traffic squad. They certainly do enjoy yanking little necks around the right path, with their big strong arms, and we all enjoy the parade of the elephants as they tramp into classes one by one, one later than the next. They say that every year the stock of humans in W.H.S. grows smaller and shorter. It couldn't be that they're so tall, could it? Early in the year, plans were underway for the dance honoring the incoming freshmen. Elise Reichert and Phil Almquist served as chairmen of the Freshman Recep- tion. Their committees included Publicity, joan Burkhart and Franny Duggan, Deco- rations, joan Pumpkin Kudla and Carl Scarecrow DeSantog Tickets, Allen Even and Lorraine Orlando, and Refreshments, Pete Storms and Lillian Bode. The orchestra committee wishes to remain anonymous. One of the most exciting episodes was our Senior Plays. All the memorizing, rehearsing, drilling, and excellent coaching was well worth all the effort put into it. Some fine acting was shown in all four plays. jane Piper did a magnificent job in Strange Road, as did all the other actors and actresses. We wonder if Ray D'Atillio ever recovered from the forceful blow Bruce Lovell gave him. Kirk and Joan really made out in their play, and maid joan Keleher deserved an Oscar for keeping a straight face while she kept the audience in stitches in How Vulgar . Isn't this more fun? is the war cry of Connie Ransom ever since her picnic in Antic Spring . Marcia Mer- rill was hostess at a very successful Open House after the plays. This, our last year, finds joan Keleher and Bob Logan as co-chairmen of the Recreational Council, and all mem- bers of the class as busy as beavers. Our final week of high school was one wonderful week. Allen Even, chairman of the Cap and Gown Committee, fitted us out in black and white robes and caps for those two momentous events-Baccalaureate and Graduation. Ann Marie Krupenevich and Bill Adams were chairmen of the Baccalaureate ceremony, and Lorraine Orlando and Bob Logan arranged a beautiful commencement. Class Night Cwill we ever forget it?J was capably led by-,joan Keleher and Francis Duggan. As long as we live we won't ever forget '52's Fun Night! The chairmen, Theresa Samek and Bob the St. Amand, put on the best and the funniest show that ever was or ever will be held at W.H.S. A very enjoyable class picnic was under the direction of joan Landeen and Ray D'Attilio. Our last event of high school was the beautiful Senior Ball, which Barbara Modeen and Bruce Whitaker made a complete success. CWhat time was it when we got home?J We'll always treasure many Forget-me-nots of W.H.S.: the lockers to which we didn't know the combinations, the cafe, especially the last one, and Sam, our ever jolly cleaner-upper , the individuals who enlivened our Safe-driving classesg the Student Council, always plugging to clean up the Cafe g the famous Hre gongs and air raid bells: those hilarious faculty games, the yellow rocket ships that ushered us to school and home, and sometimes broke down enrouteg the savage amusement of the lab lf periods, the square dancing in gym, and the aches and pains of the season, the Hal- S f lowe'en dances, and the goat that wandered into school the day after the night beforeg I' i the gossip of the Elm Leavesg the retreat to the Nurse's Room when homework was undone, those seven-period days when the order of periods was 7, 3, 4, 2, 6, 5, and lg jj the thrill of the Honor Society inductions, the grind of homeworkg and the wonders. l of high school.

Well, my stars. It's Ann Marie Krupenevich conducting at Carnegie Hall. Says here she's playing a cello solo which she composed. Here's another picture right on the front page-Bruce Woodward, President of the First National Bank, has just announced the opening of the new Wethersfield branch, to be managed by Bob Wallace. They are shown shaking hands with Governor Storms. What's this? President of the Wethersfield Teachers' League, Joyce Baird, recently welcomed Harold LaChance, the new physics teacher at the high school. The other officers of the League are Marcia Seymour, Peggy Kellogg, and Barbara French. Librarian jane Piper and her Children's Department librarian, Diane Schiavone, are attending a Librarians' Conference in Washington. Maybe they will meet Vi Metcalfe or Barb Modeen, the airline stewardesses, or travel over one of jared Reid's modern geometrical bridges. They might even get to see President Stiles, that Rocky Hill politician, or Senator Joyce Backman. Remember when they were voted Most Likely to Succeed ? Elise Reichert, the French interpreter, is 'also in the Capitol, doing some big conference work for the President. They certainly have done some marvelous work. My goodness, Paw, will you look at this! The U.S. Department of Atomic Warfare has announced the new Goetz- Even Theory-It's the Law of Nuclear Mutation according to Gravitational Units resulting from Ionization of Resonating Rarefactors. What in Heaven's name does all that mean? ' Knowing those two physicists, it could mean almost anything, but I bet it has something to do with the evils of women. Here's an interesting morsel. Psychiatrist Connie Ransom and her two psycholo- gists Shirley Ryan and Audrey Keefe are opening a new mental hospital. It says that visitors are welcome! It looks like they're really modernizing the old town. Bill Cooper, Cliff Marshall, and Alan Wilcox are opening a new A8tP in the shopping district. They'll give the First National managers, Louis Alberico, Francis Fitzgerald, and Brian Soucy, some stiff competition. Did you read about this trial going on? Pete Pescosolido, the Pharmacist, is being tried for mercy killing. They are accusing him of stealing drugs from Bradley's Drug Store in order to dispose of one of his girlfriends, so he won't have to choose between them. judge Duggan is having a rough time, but Detectives Lilian Peter- sen and Richard Pedersen have the case almost cracked. Anne Gainty, the efficient Legal Secretary, is scribbling notes in shorthand. The jury cannot come to a deci- sion, although jurist Bruce Lovell has great argumentative influence. Oh well, no matter what the outcome, Undertaker jim Kearns will have a job. He'S the last person in the world to let you down. If anybody is going to get electrocuted, the famous electrician, Henry Fischer, will do the job expertly. Let's see the sports section. Hmph. Coach Ronny Kozuch's team of girls is eligible for the national basketball tournament again. The Kokettes include Nanny Cote, joan Fitzgerald, Edie Hunter, Harriet Andrews, and Theresa Samek. I bet the coach works the girls overtime! Gee, this is tough luck. Billy Adams is laid up with two broken legs. Hurt himself playing Pro basketball. Says he is recuperating at the Wethersfield Hospital, where Doc Kudla and Doc johnson are resident surgeons. Lillian Bode is their medical secretary. I guess the nurses Gail Balfour, Anne Skelly, and Athene Zariphes, will fix him up in a jiffy. Listen' The fire whistle Quick to the window so we can wave to Saint He surely is proud that he was elected fire chief Why ever since high school Yes I know Can you beat this-Skier Brad Ross and pole vaulter Gilbert Stock well are preparing for the Olympics Dave Sylvester has just returned from his hunting expedition in Africa In addition to three elephants tigers lions and the usual run of snakes he has picked up a few pretty cannibal girls' Charlie McNear is planning to take the same trip soon Here in the States Ugh Whaley is pitch ing for the Yankees Bob Logan is the swimming coach at Yale and Pat Adams and Sue Smith are operating their own Horsebackriding School John Forgetta is still winning trophies in the Auto Races Heres Maroah Shailers Column for the Love Lorn and the Society page Beverly Adams and Carol Gilmore were recently surprised by friends of the Class of 52 at a Homecoming party They have been living in the West since they were married Wasnt it nice seeing them again? fReading onl Anita Bouchard is engaged to that rich boss of whom she was speaking I see Frances Mairson and joan Neumann celebrated their wedding anniversaries recently oan Fancys new Dream Home was the scene of a very successful Open House the other night Refreshments served included some luscious spaghetti made by the talented Romano twins topped off by some molasses candy straight from Peggy Clarks Candy Kitchen Dairy Farmer johnny Hayes whipped up some milk shakes for the crowd and choice sirloin came from Franny Stevens ranch Poultry farmer George Harris I ll AJ' A i j,p p ML, y m g I gp , . .

Joan certainly has a lovely home-The kitchen is beautifully finished in pine. All woodwork was done by Ed Flynn, and the linoleum was designed and created by Patsy Cosma. The floor plans were drawn up by Joe Kellogg, the draftsman. Louie LaCava did a neat job on the carpentry. Engi- neer Phil AImquist's new type of automatic dishwashing-clothes washing machine has been installed in Joan's basement. I hope it doesn't put Gordy Rutherford's Laundry out of business. Warren McGuenness is Joan's landscape architect. Did you hear, Bernie Allard is home on furlough? She's been all over the coun- try with the Women's Army. Warren Beattie, USN, is still seeing the world. General Watson has taken command of troops in Europe. I heard the other day that Navy pilot Hartland Gifford has set a new record for a non-stop flight around the world. ' Let's see what's at the movies. Oh, Paw, remember the Webb? Well, Art Bassell is the new manager there-I wonder if he is still bouncing people out of the Friday night show. Jerry Haber is projection manager. There's a wonderful play at the Parsons. Born Yesterday has just arrived from Broadway, with a cast starring the comedienne, Joan Keleher. Tomorrow night John Sullivan will take a part in Harvey. And the next night, Marcia Merrill will fly back from Paris to make her appearance at Parsons. Speaking of performances, didlyou know that Jack Nagle's Band is at the State? And twirler Ann Burlingame is coming there soon. The Peterson brothers, Alan and Art, recently won the grand prize of Horace I-Ieidt's Talent Show. They cer- tainly can play. Yes, they can. Do you remember our class organists? Jean MacCubrey is assistant organist to Virgil Fox, and Diane Schilke is playing a five-manual. We'll just have to get out and see some of these fine musicians. Perhaps the Doolittle Car Repair will have my car ready soon, or we could always call Whitaker's Taxi and Trucking Service for a lift. Maybe the neighbors will let us borrow their chauffeur, Jimmy Vinchetti. He has had a lot of experience at handling limousines-now he drives one of Lyman Tibbils' newest designs. Or Dave Smith might offer us a ride in his originally designed Rocker boat. Speaking of designs, dear, I wish you'd give me some money--I'm going shopping tomorrow at the Lois Mihon Specialty Shop. I just love to trade there. They have the loveliest models-Phyllis Paladino, Winnie Bardons, Janet Brenensruhl, and Joan Landeen exhibit the new dresses, while Marilyn Geigl shows the trends in bathing suits. I want to stop at Pat Russo's Gift Shoppe, and I have to get my hair done at Lorraine's Beauty Parlor. I hope that either Lorry or Dot Walsh will be free to give me a permanent. Then I must pick up some preserves at Lorraine Smith's Sugar and Spice Shop. Let's watch TV-Club 52 is on tonight. Popular crooner Ray D'Attilio has as his guest star the beauteous Rachel Manning, torch singer. Hey, what's the matter with this set? I'll bet Joanne Nystrup's children were monkeying with it this afternoon. Probably William MacNeil is working hard up at the station trying to figure out what's wrong. Oh, there's something- For beautiful hair use Breck. Why, that's Rita Rivoire and her wavy hair. All they ever have is ads on this thing. But here's an ad that's easy on the eye- For brighter, healthier teeth, use Ipana . . . and what do you know . . . that's Joan Burkhart on TV! There's Carol Gavette dancing with Gene Kelly. That reminds me-I'll have to pay another bill on the kids lessons at Miss I-Iartigan's Dancing School. Well, I guess that ends this program. Oh, leave it on. Joanne Bergsten is going to give a cooking demonstration. I'll listen to the radio. This sounds like Erik Olson announcing. He's advertising the swanky restaurant run by Florence Opalacz and Bertha Vasel. Remember how witty they were in high school? Their restaurant must be a huge success, with Mick Russo cheffing and Bob Weidlich and Franklin Kilby waiting tables. I'm sure the floor show must be good with Dick Sorenson as MC. CStill reading her paperb Isn't this wonderful news, Paw. Gail Burke is the new president of the Travelers. She's appointed Estelle Czarnecki and Lois Anderson typing managers, and Carol Grabinsky is the supervisor of the Stenographic de- partment. Norma Hoyt is kept busy with her comptometer machine, and so are the other secretaries: Bev Bell, Hilda Kelley, Joanne Daley, Mary Dougherty, Louise Fish, Barbara Franklin, Virginia Lussen, Mary Marino, and Marilyn Moore. There aren't too many males working in the company now, but Steno Joyce Syl- vester is working for a nice-looking gentleman, and Actuary Allyn Brodeur doesn't seem to mind the surplus women. Speaking of surplus women, Bill Madigan, the dentist, is doing all right with two full time dental hygienists-Judy Gable and Virginia Degutis. Don't see how he can find time to look at teeth. We certainly did have a wonderful class at high school. Remember Ellen Tyrol and Irmgard Kolip? I heard that they are doing lab work for the state. Did you hear about the new Art magazine edited and circulated by Mike Batta linoi Lorena Lassen is the Advertising Manager Among the artists for the magazine are Bev Winalski and Roberta Owen who provide interesting matter for artistes Carol DeSanto and Lenny Gionfriddo I d say the whole class has made out pretty well wouldn t you?

SPORTS IN REVIEW FOR '52 Soccer- 1 9 5 1 This year's soccer team showed great promise during early practice, with 15 ex- perienced boys coming back from last year's squad that lost in the final game of the State Tournament. Led by our hard driving captain, Bill Adams, hardworking half- back, Ron Kozuch, defensive halfback, Bruce Lovellg and fullback, Peter Storms, all three-year men, Wetlierslield looked ahead to a successful season. After many nights of hard work and practice, Wetliersfield opened its season with a convincing win over Windsor High School, 4-0. It was in this first game that goalie, Phil Stiles, forwards, Phil Almquist, Ray D'Attilio, john Hayes, and fullback, Ed Flynn, showed great promise. And, as expected, these boys proved invaluable as the season progressed. Our next game was lost to Valley Regional High School. Although the Blue and White of XVethersfield fought hard they were overcome by two Valley Regional goals in the last minutes of the game. Wethersfield then went on to Win two games over its arch rival, Newington High School, by identical scores of l-0 in which two undergrads, George Roane and Doug Raynard, scored goals. Manchester High pulled what amounted to an upset in Wetliersfieltl's point of view when they tied us 4-4 in a well-played game. Hall High was next to beat us by a l-0 score but Wethersfield came back to beat Water- town, 6-l, and tie Windsor, 2-2, an exciting game in which Phil Almquist and Ron Kozuch scored last minute goals to gain the tie. Although the team lost four games, Wethersfield was invited for the fourth year in a row to the State Tournaments. State champions in 1948 and 1949 and runners-up in l950, Wetlierslieltl was determined to keep up its good record. But, in spite of a hard fight, our team was edged out by William Hall High School by a score of 2-l. Wethcrsfield should have a very successful season in 1952 with many capable undergrads to fill the shoes of the seniors who are leaving. C 6 J , S , W W Ls ea BASEB LL 1951 lst Row: T. Anthony, G.

The club is backboned by Captain Ron Kozuch, playing his fourth year as Varsity catcher, Wetliersfieltl High feels positive that it will have a high spirited team this year that will compile a very good record. With shortstop Carl DeSanto and pitcher Dave Sylvester and Hart Gifford both starting their third year, and Ron Kozuch behind the plate, Wetlierslielcl presents a strong middle, essential to a good hall club. Big jack Gworek seems to have the inside for the first base position with Teddy Anthony at second, DeSanto at short and either Jerry Fain or Doug Ray- nard filling out the infield. The outheld will be a wide open race for all candidates. Lettermen Carl Giordano, Hart Gifford, and Les Wlirtley are all fine pitchers who can also be used for double duty in the outfield. The team of 1951 was led in batting by Carl DeSanto with 565, followed closely by Ron Kozuch with 555, who also led in runs batted in, doubles, and triples. Dave Sylvester won three pitching decisions which shows that 1952's team has very good material with which to start off the season. Witlu the competitive spirit that the boys have, it will be interesting to watch their progress this season. fill 1 iul I l7fIlfIlIl!l'7 lmffvaf r' r 1 IIIIIIIIZ UEnullllu lllI 7..A7ZUlfIlf I ,,..

This season the team will be led by Captain George Harris, the only returning weight man, Mr. Burford will be looking for some capable dash men, a department in which W.H.S. was very weak last season. Returning are three boys who won their letters last season as sophomores. They are Phil Havey, pole-vaulterg George Roane, high and broad jumperg and Karl Chester, a distance man. There is also a group of Freshmen performers, who will be back and are expected to come through this year. Although the prospects for the coming season are not too bright, the boys will try hard to improve on last season's poor 0-4 record. C JMR api' L 5 ,pf dv! -I f . .

JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL-1951-1952 The junior Varsity, from which the stars of tomorrow will come, had a fairly suc- cessful season this year. Coach Strom had returning from last year's J.V. squad only three men with whom to work. They were Captain Carl Giordano, Charles Tennyson, and Bill Brew. The rest of the squad consisted of Sophornores, Ted Anthony, Vin Dalo, Hub Segur, Wailly Williard, Gerry McTeague, Dick Haynes, and Dave Fyler, together with Freshman Patil Woodhotise and Scott Willson. The team showed plenty of fight and spirit throughout the season and must be praised for this. Tennyson led the scorers and was followed by Brew, Anthony, and Willson. Giordano displayed wonderful defensive work throughout the year as well as fine leadership. You will be seeing the boys on this years squad in a few years wearing varsity uniforms for W.H.S.

VARSITY BASKETBALL-1951-1952 Although W.H.S. is slowly losing its reign as slate soccer champions, it is gradually becoming a perennial power in Class B Basketball circles. We were again represented by another hne basketball team this season. The squad was built by Coach Burford around Captain Phil Stiles, Bill Adams, and Ron Kozuch, all members of last year's great team, Up from last years .I.V. Team were Lym Tibbils, Fran Duggan, Bob St. Amand, Carl De- Santo. and -Iuniors, George Roane, Doug Raynard, and Gerry Fain, as well as Sophomore Jack Gworek. The Boys in Blue opened the season by trounc- ing experienced XWindsor's quintet, 9-44, in a game that was expected to be close. The scoring of Kozuch, Adams, and Roane. all of whom hit double figures, and the defensive work of Captain Stiles were major factors in the win. ln its next two outings, W.H.S. bowled over La- Sallette, 71-29, and its arch rival, Newington, 74-65. In the fourth game of the year, a fast breaking Vifoodrow Wilstmii team extended our boys before the hard driving Kozuch put in a last-second basket to give W.H.S. a thrilling 65-63 win. The hnal game before the Christmas recess found our heretofore unbeaten quintet facing Southington High, also undefeated. Running into a fine defense and some fancy shooting, W. H, S. was thrashed by the Purple Knights by a score of 49-27. The boys bounced back, however, and whipped the Alumni by a score of 54-50 with the scrappy Adams leading the way. Rockville and Plainville were the next victims of the Blue and Wliite with the scores of 70-59 and 66-53. As the season reached its midpoint, Southington came to town in what was the game of the year for both squads. Before a packed house, W.H.S. scored a convincing 66-55 win. Every member of the team performed brilliantly, with the flashy Roane and dependable Adams leading the way. Witlm the big one under its belt. W.H.S. then went on to whip A.S.D., and Newington for the second time. Lanky Lym Tibbils came through with a fine performance in the latter game. It was also in this one, that our quintet qualified for the state tournaments. Wetliershelcl employed a fast breaking style of ball throughout the year. The team averaged better than sixty points per game which is excellent. It was one of the hardest working quintets ever to represent Wetliershelcl High School, and was certainly a credit to the class of '52 which placed seven members on the squad.
