This giant tree, largest of its kind in the United States, had a circumference of thirty-two feet at an elevation of six feet and was about one hundred and twenty feet in height. It sprang up in the early seventeen hundreds, some say from a switch planted by a young farm boy who had used it to drive his cattle home. Whether this story has its roots in fact or fiction is not importantg the elm itself was real and played a real part in Wethers- f1eld's history. Though Dutch Elm disease has destroyed the tree itself, the memory of it remains. The Class of 1953 is happy to play its part in keeping that memory green. Lliblri WETHERSFIELD HIGH SCHOOL -Z!

Connecticut's earliest settlement . . . town of ancient houses and overshadowing trees . . . once the onion center of the new world . . . still well-known for garden seeds . . . Washington and Rochambeau here laid plans ending the Revolu- tion . . . grown from a settlement of ten adventurers to a community of fifteen thousand . . . laid claims to the first hat factory in Connecticut . . . home We, the Class of 1953, the 25th and last class to be graduated from this building, salute our town. Conscious of its many years of past leadership and proud of its long history, Wethersheld is, nonethe- less, a community with its eyes on the future. Con- sistent with its long tradition as a pioneer in high of the State Prison since 1827 . . . once the site of Yale College . . . and a female seminary . . . location of the oldest high school in the state, conducted first in the Academy Building-then, through the generosity of Chauncey Rose, in a newly built structure, now the Governor Thomas Welles School . . . in 1928 high school moved to present site . . . in 1953 it will move again. , kt V ,,,, . 1 iivl- - F5953 1 . ,. ' ti school education, the town has continued to keep pace with an ever-increasing population and with new developments in this field. In 1953, as in 1839, citizens have recognized the importance of the educa- tion of future generations. We are proud to be members of such a community. Y DEM THE, OP?

FRANCIS To Miss Marcia W. Pinkbam and Mr. Horace B. Francis who as advisors have worked unselfishly with the Class of 1953 this book is gratefully dedicated. 3 99' ANTHONY DeBERARDINO EDITOR'S MESSAGE Graduation is upon us, and now, after four years of enjoyment and satisfying intellectual advancement, we are about to split up and follow our chosen paths leading to the fulfillment of the aspirations of our lives. This is by no means the end of our achievements, for now that the seed of our education has been planted, we shall continue to nourish it for the rest of our lives. These have been four wonderful years of progress and learning which, I believe, can hardly be surpassed by any experience in our lives. Could we but re-live the happiest moments of our high school days! The assembling of this book has been a work of gratification, a work which would have been impossible without the tireless efforts of each member of the staff and the invaluable guidance and unfailing assistance of our adviser, Miss Rae Colson. I should like to express my gratitude to each of these and to my fellow-classmates for electing me editor of this yearbook. Many thanks to our teachers and advisers who have unselfishly guided us throughout these memorable years. And to Mr. jared Standish and Mr. Merrick Carpenter, may we express our appreciation for their assistance in obtaining necessary historical information. It has been an honor and a privilege working with you. May God bless you all! PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Once again a class is graduating from Wethersfield High School. We are going out into a world full of misunderstandings and con- flicts. It seems to us of a younger generation that the world is restless and tired, men's hearts and minds struggle against tremendous forces to gain time for thought, the kind of thought necessary to clear the chaff from menis minds, diagnose the true symptoms and set forth a workable plan which can bring peace of mind, mutual understand- ing and certainty to men's actions the world over. We sincerely hope and pray that the opportunities for free thought and democratic action which we have received in school, coupled with the knowledge necessary to make such a democracy live, will give us the strength and conviction to pitch in and utilize to the utmost of our powers to make the world a more rewarding world to live in and provide a greater heritage for those to come. And so as some of us of the class of 1953 go directly on to college and as others enter the world-at-large, we do not leave behind us memories of gay and happy times, of dances made all the more en- joyable by virtue of the hard work required to put them over, of soccer games and basketball contests, of the sage utterances of the class wits, and myriad other hazy, pleasant patterns that have com- prised what most of us are now beginning to realize have been some of the richest years of our lives, no, instead we will take them with us to be remembered and chuckled over as the years go by, and as the distances between us increase. We now place our lives and our faith in the hands of our Creator, that He may lead us to our duty and give us the strength to see it through.

Some journeyed by Ed Hayes' over- land express. Many were not so fortunate and had to resort to cross-country exercises. We soon found things to be unbearably dull, sim- ply panning Folly Brook for gold. So we started a heated rivalry with some people over Newington Hill. One of our legion, George Roane, excelled on the ujayvee Basketball Squad. In order to encour- age our participant, Patricia Wright was dispatched to display the colors and reinforce the morale. Karl Chester made thetrek to Hartford to enter- tain upon his viola at the Connecticut Territory 'iAll-State Orchestraf' Our Senior colonists sponsored a social gathering for the new arrivals who gathered quite well. The junior Student Councilf representatives from the outlying posts, under the leadership of Karl Chester, Olivia Geyer, Anne Warren and Russell Hunter, met frequently to discuss the problems of the Junior Colonists. After our first year, we realized that we could not survive further without immediate organization. So we elected Karl Chester leader of our settlement, Anne Warren his able assistant, Anthony DeBerar- dino to take copious notes upon our findings and Meredith Willson to insure our financial stability. We also enlisted the counsel of Mistress Pinkham and Master Tyler. This year we entered four more of our numbers to the jayvee Basketball Squad : Gerald Fain, Charles Tennyson, Carl Giordano and Douglas Ray- nard. The latter developed a severe malady of the knee while resisting pressure upon our soccer goal. Others more fortunate were George Roane and Floyd Davis. This season Jacqueline Pierson was commis- sioned to reinforce the morale reinforcements. Thissyear we supplied our own social life, the Sophomore Hop, with the guidance of Iva Farr and Carl Giordano. Master Tyler vacated his advisory position to Master Francis in order to investigate the institu- tions of higher learning in the South. We decided to identify ourselves by signet rings chosen by a committee of citizens under the leader- ship of Scott Carson. Demanding oratory was exhibited by Olivia Geyer and Anthony DeBerardino in respect to the Ameri- can Legion Oratorical Contest. Anthony progressed with alacrity and distinction to the settlement of East Hartford and thence to Hartford. Our meager culture was heightened by the pre- sentation of the operetta, The Pirates of Penzance. ln the costumes of the time, Karl Chester as Fred- eric, a frustrated buccaneer, Anthony DeBerardino, the pompous Major General, and Arleen Watras as Isabel, a sweet ward of the Major General, delivered memorable performances. As we advanced on our third year, we assumed the status of experienced and confident conquerors of the once foreboding wilderness. We now felt qualified to smile benevolently on new arrivals. This year again we elected custodians of the pub- lic welfare. Anthony DeBerardino and Olivia Geyer were chosen to provision the law, Matthew Pykosz to keep the records, and Patricia Alogna to coin our money. Our contributions to the soccer squad increased by the addition of Donald Maturo and Carl Gior- dano. We proved our prowess on the basketball court by instating Carl Giordano as ujayvee bas- ketball captain and George Roane, Gerald Fain, Douglas Raynard and Charles Tennyson as members of the Varsity Squad. With considerable improvements on the roads, Marjorie Oliver, Anthony DeBerardino and Matthew Pykosz traveled to Hartford for the All-State Chorus. Our social graces were displayed admirably at the Junior Prom. Anne Warren and Scott Carson were to be congratulated for their part as chairmen and also, Carl Giordano, Anne Warren and Scott Car- son who held short reign as King, Queen and Jester. Our district assembly, Student Council, met un- der the guidance of Karl Chester, with Anne Warren keeping records for posterity and Scott Carson in- suring posterity. Anthony DeBerardino again excelled in the town- ship Oratorical Contest although he met very try- ing competition in Dorothy Ward, Lynne MacCub- rey and Russell Hunter. Dorothy Ward and Olivia Geyer edited the settle- ment bulletin, appropriately called Elm Leaves, and became devotees to the latest fad, the inverted pyramid. Although a comparatively young settlement, we found that the language of the court had taken a firm hold when Marjorie Oliver and Anthony De- Berardino received honorable mention from Weth- ersfield High School for their proficiency in French. At the end of this year, we elected janet Wain- wright, Elizabeth Duffy, Vivian Poulin and Dorothy Ward to represent us at Girls' State and Richard Barker, Scott Carson, Anthony DeBerardino, Gerald Fain, Russell Hunter, David McCracken, David Olm- stead, and john Leamy to represent us at Boys' State for the purpose of assimilating some knowledge of different governments in Connecticut. When our predecessors' settlement matured and they radiated out to new lands, we ushered at their Baccalaureate Service, at which there was no use for the tithing rod, and at their Graduation The n honor of junior Marshals was bestowed upon Anne Warren and George Roane. Three of our number, Olivia Geyer, Alden Pickup, and Russell Hunter engaged in another governmen- tal project, the Model U. N. When we, as young politicians, joined our elders in the administration of our town, Douglas Raynard served as Second Selectman. Dave Olmstead received command of the fire bucket brigade in Rocky Hill. With fear of understatement, it was a rather active campaign. Our little quaking settlement had grown in size and knowledge and we were coming to the culmina- tion of our period here. As had generations before, we would make new settlements, always moving for- ward, and always finding new unknowns awaiting youth. In four years, this uncertain venture had progressed to a sturdy creative society. We elected Karl Chester patriarch of our venerable community, Richard Bar- ker to assist him in his solemn duties, Anne Warren to be our community clerk, and Matthew Pykosz to superintend our generous coffers. This year George Roane, captain, Douglas Ray- nard, Carl Giordano and Gerald Fain again stoutly defended our honor on the basketball court. Doug- las Raynard, captain, Robert Brass, George Roane, Donald Maturo and Peter Beal did likewise on the soccer field. We had come a long way. This year we introduced the new settlers to our social manners. This was accomplished with the help of Shirley Howeson and Carl Giordano. The crowning function of the year was the Senior Ball. As we go our ways, we shall always remember that night and Marjorie Oliver and Scott Carson, who planned it. No matter how tiring or taxing our life might have been, we had music. In our fourth year, we presented the operetta H.M.S. Pinaforef' Anthony DeBerardino as Sir joseph, Vivian Poulin as the heroine Josephine, Matthew Pykosz as the captain, and Margorie Oliver as poor little Buttercup, made our musical development complete. Earlier the same year, we sent Lynne MacCubrey, Anthony DeBerar- dino, Matthew Pykosz, Gertrude Eurto, and Karl Chester to the All-State Chorus in Hartford. The district assembly, the Senior Student Coun- cil, guided student affairs with Russell Hunter, Jack Stewart, Cynthia Sugden and David Olmstead as leaders. Our ever-widening interests branched to the thea- tre. The tragic atmosphere of The Informer and the superb performances of Matthew Pykosz, Alice Zen- ick and William Martin, the pathos of Patricia Alog- na and James Perry's dejected appearance in Georgie- Porgie, Frieda Grob's hat and Barbara Sjostrom's frustration in Everything Nice, all con- tributed to excellent productions. Our amusement ventures were much to the credit of the Rec Council under the supervision of Gerald Fain and Patricia Alogna. With the addition of Scott Carson and jane Lowe, the same members of our community attended the Model U.N. This year Gerald Fain presided over the National Honor Society, Lynne MacCubrey was the keeper of the records, and Matthew Pykosz was the keeper of our meager funds. The byways of our settlement began to become overcrowded. With Douglas Raynard as captain, we elected twenty of our number to relieve the con- gestion. In addition to our Senior Ball, the rest of Senior Week will never be forgotten. Our Class Night, supervised by Marilyn Woods and Richard Barker, Fun Night, guided by joan Trombley and Russell Hunter, Class Picnic, advised by Beverly Chapman and Carl Giordano, Baccalaureate, directed by Karl Chester and Jeanne Matheson, and Graduation, conducted by Anne Warren and Matthew Pykoszg were as successful as tradition demands. Our raiment for Graduation was capably ar- ranged for by Olivia Geyer, jean Moore and Scott Carson. Charles Tennyson from Rocky Hill and George Roane from Wethersfield were elected First Select- men from their respective territories in the Youth Government elections. Margorie Oliver, our oscillating community bul- letin editor, was mother convert to the unpredictable field. Our own chronicle, the Elm, was published by our settlement with Anthony DeBerardino and Olivia Geyer serving the community in the capacities of editors. Now that our community has done its deeds, famous and infamous, we may look back on them. The little things, the floral arrangements in our com- munity dining hall, the news sheet settlement pub- licity, community meetings in Cafe, the scotch tape and our safety, and that tape recording for Bruce Burpee will always be a part of our his- tory. Marjorie Oliver's cello in the band, our pink and blue nursery community hall, the only boy in the secretarial division, no properties for the Senior Plays dress rehearsal and many other inci- dents made our originally fearful life worthwhile living. For many years we will be proud of Marjorie Oliver, our Parade of Youth correspondent, Olivia Geyer, our Mind Your Manners authority, and Arleen Watras, our art award winner. May our history for years to come be as illustrious and useful as it has been previously. fy U r 4 Q9 Q xlf ' - X f LL ,J AP. M ED SEQQETARQL on ' -' BUS!

VARSITY SOCCER The strong, hard-Hghting booters, led by Captain Doug Raynard, completed an- other very successful season this year. With the help of new members, the experienced .'Raynard, Roane, Giordano, Brew, and Gworek, were able to lead the team into a berth in the state tournament for the Hfth consecutive year. In doing this, the boys compiled an admirable record of 9 wins, 2 losses, and 1 tie. We feel confident that next year's team will have a successful season with many experienced players returning. This year the boys started strongly with decisive wins against Glastonbury, Essex, Newington, and Manchester. Then meeting their match, the Blue and White could gain only a tie against Hall of West Hartford. Wethersfield, continuing to roll, paced by Raynard's scoring and Roane's fine defensive work, then disposed of Windsor, Glas- tonbury, and Newington in that order. Playing away, the boys suffered their first defeat at the hands of a pepped-up Windsor crew by the score of 2 to 1. Wethersfield overcame Valley Regional 5 to 1 in the last game of the regular season. In the state tournament, Wethersfield defeated Manchester on corner kicks when the score remained 1 to 1 after two overtime periods. In the finals Hall of West Hart- ford blanked the booters 2 to 0 for Wethersf'ield's second loss and only shut out of the year. SCORING Raynard ,...... .,..,. 1 8 Gworek ,.,.. .....

JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL Displaying excellent team work as well as some outstanding individual players, the junior Varsity rolled up a,tremendous record of 16 wins against only 2 losses during the season. Led by Co-captains Hub Segur and Wally Wil- lard, the jV's had 14 consecutive victories before dropping their first game to Southington. Jay Beal and Stan Durbas scored time and again with able assistance in that department from Artie Couch and Hub Segur. George Cote displayed great promise under the boards and Al Desmarais showed the spirit that is essential on a winning team. With this material at hand, W.H.S. is sure to have great teams in the future. The standout effect of this team was that it was a team in every sense of the word. The boys worked very well together during the entire season with the spirit and conscientiousness which paid off in a wonderful record. lf all the teams have the attitude and ability of this one, we shall have championship teams for many years to come.

AN P Vf 1 BASKETBALL 1952-1953 l Roane Raynard Brew A X VARSITY BASKETBALL After a slow start, the Blue and White cagers rallied to win a place in the state tournament. The four veterans: Captain Roane, Raynard, Fain, and Gworek, were joined by Bill Brew to form the starting team. Roane, Raynard, and Brew were pro- lific scorers during the entire season while Fain and Gworek worked as guards, Valuable aid from the second team combined to make all the wins the result of true team effort. During the season Wethersfield started well with a smashing victory over Glastonbury with Raynard and Roane netting 25 and 24 points, respectively. Then, caught in a slump, the Blue and White dropped three straight to Plainville, Southington, and Rockville before overtaking a powerful Alumni squad. The win- ning streak continued with a win over Windsor and a forfeit victory over Wilson. Then once again Wethersfield dropped three consecutive games, this time to Plainville, Wilcox, and Rockville. Not giving up, however, our hoopsters came smashing back with wins over Windsor CBrew scored 24 and Raynard 205, Newington, and Goodwin, before losing to victim of the week before, fell once again attack, with Brew netting 27 points. The followed and a steamed up Wethersheld crew lost a heart-breaker to Southington 41 to 40. Wilcox followed to hand us another defeat though Roane turned in a tremendous 31 point scoring exhibition. Still game, the Blue and White came back strongly to win the last two games of the season by beating Glastonbury and Newington with Roane, Raynard, and Brew hitting double figures in both contests. With a record of 9 and 9, Wethersfield just qualified for the state tournament in which it Hnished second last year. Prospects look good for next year with starters Brew and Gworek and the experienced Anthony, Dalo, Fyler, Haynes, McTeague, and Berk returning. Good luck next season, fellows, Wilson.

VARSITY BASEBALL Although the record was a disappointing 4 wins and 8 losses for league compe- tition, the baseball season cannot be called unsuccessful. All the boys had many good times in addition to gaining vital experience. The team effort was headed by Fritz Wamester, who had a .421 batting average, and jack Gworek with a .928 fielding average, while playing first base. Doug Raynard and Bill Brew hit many long balls to aid the team immensely in their wins. Captain Ron Kozuck and Carl DeSanto also played fine ball both in the field and at the plate. This spring will see Captain Carl Giordano and a veteran studded squad on the diamond. Doug Raynard, Gerry Pain, Bill Ramsey, Bill Brew, Fritz Wamester, Ted Anthony, jack Gworek, Charlie Mathews, jeff Wilson, Gerry McTeague, Stan Durbas, and Wallace Willard will see action this year and try to better the record of the previous season.

The squad proved to be much better than their record showed, and Coach Burford's hard work was not in vain. Led by Captain George Harris, who threw the javelin and discus, the boys put up stiff competition for the much larger rival schools. The Blue and White opened their season by participating in the Storrs Relays at the University of Connecticut in which they did fairly well. Some of the other standouts on the squad besides Captain Harris were Karl Chester and Kirk Watson fhalf mile runnersj, Hubbard Segur Cmilerb, Phil Havey Cpole vaulterb, and Lou Pellettieri Chigh jumperb. The boys, with a much more experienced team, are looking forward to the 1953 season with Karl Chester as their Captain. Good luck, fellows! GOLF 1952 each. Wethersfield.
