My report card? in tecbnicolor! i- f 4.4- TECHNICAL SKILLS William Hall High School is more than a building. It is an idealg an ideal nourished by men like William Hall, Ray W. Harriman and Henry A. VC'eylandg an ideal cherished by teachers, students, and alumni, an ideal that represents American education at its best. Hall was founded and lives for the purpose of teaching students the lessons of the past, the greatness of the present, and the possibilities of the future. These are the means by which Hall lives: Human Relations - Here at Hall we learn the values of true friendship, we learn how to live with one another, we learn how to govern our actions. Fine Arts - We come to realize the significance of the cultural aspects of life, we learn of the pleasures that come from music, from art, and from dance. Language Arts and Communications - The methods of expressing ourselves are taught to usg both in English and the foreign tongues, we learn how to write, to read, and to speak effectively. Technical Skills - Science, mathematics, business courses - these are the skills that Hall gives us for future use in the professional and industrial fields. Health and Recreation - We learn how to play the game, how to win and loseg we learn how to develop our bodies in order to live healthful lives. This then, is Hall High.

Another class of gradu- ates goes forth to test its mettle in a world upset by emotion and strife.

It is my sincere hope that nothing may interfere with the plans you have made, that the lessons you have learned at Hall High School may stand you in good stead, and that the places you carve for yourselves in society will call for the best you are capable of giving. If you face each new task with the same eager anticipation I have seen demonstrated this year, if you meer all new acquain- tances with the same happy smiles I have had flashed my way, and if you work with others with the same degree of cooperation l have experienced from each of you, I am sure that your tasks will be made easy and your rewards great. It is my earnest prayer that peace, both between nations and within each heart, may be yours in the days that lie ahead. -Henry A. Wayland Lara. l-IENRY I.

HALLMAIRIQS STAFF Your HdlZ77ldVk.f StaH has worked hour after hour every day of the week and has spent many a sleepless night to bring you this, your 1952 classbook . The credit for this published work belongs to no one person, for all the members of the staff did his or her share to bring you what we believe to be a great book. Special mention, however, should be given to our faculty adviser, Mrs. Alma Waterlmouse, who provided us with the touch of experience and helped us solve our differences. Margret Swahn, with the help of her associate editors, Sally Summers, Judy Rulnick, and Elaine Nelson, captained our crew of writers, typists, artists, photographers, and other contributors, toward the inevitable goal. That goal has been reached in the culmination of this 1952 edition of Hullmarkr. lt spells out only one word -f SUCCESS! Ifcfimrr' 7llL'L'ffIIlQ - more work for lhe rmff, Iffs in here mmezzfberc.

Seniors, room numbers, and 'up' and 'down' stairs were responsible for most of our confusion during our first days at Hall on September 7, 1949. We had Hnally gained our bearings. The Gridiron season had barely ended when we ventured timidly to our first big formal at Hall, the Senior Harvest, which left a gay imprint of Hall's social life on our minds. President Kenny Swanson was the leader of our first class at Hall and Roy johnson and Nancy Cedar were elected Vice-President and Secretary, respectively. Many of us struggled through the Christmas Concert in the chorus, looking up enviously at the blue and white Choir robes. Suddenly, something new to us and to the whole com- munity sprang up-the Cornerstone Club was in action! The buzzing of this new fund had just started on its rugged campaign as vacation came around, much to our relief. Winter of 1950 We untangled ourselves from the New Year's Eve streamers and balloons and appeared a bit bedraggled in school on the third of the new year. What we needed was another vacation to recover from our vacation! The turn of the century had come and we all hoped the next 50 years would bring us luck and happiness-the next two, anyway! The Gaiety was like nothing we'd seen before! This school really went all out for a night's entertainment. Spring of 1950 We'd survived Midyears, a vacation, and the play, Ever Since Eve, fairly suc- cessfully. Cheerleader tryouts were held and the following girls were chosen to replace the senior girls leaving: Debbie Mathes, Judy Phinney, Barbara Surgenor, Margret Swahn, and jackie Watson. Suddenly it was Junior Prom time. Of course, a King and Queen of a dance is a big thing, and we made sure we were there to see the traditional crowning. Nothing much but dances and baseball-and, of course, studying-that spring. At the Senior Reception Tony Pastor and his famous band were on stage with what seemed like two thousand dancing to his music. Glad all the school formals weren't that crowded. Vacation time, and we found ourselves quite proud to think we'd survived a year of high school with hardly any trouble at all. JUNIOR YEAR Fall of 1950 Dear Class of '53: Somehow, we actually looked forward to returning to Hall at the end of our sum- mer vacation. The football season came and went, not too exciting, but we saw several of our own classmates on the field. Class oflicers were elected: Kenny Swanson, Presi- dent, Roger Johnson, Vice-President, Ellie Erickson, Secretary, and Neil Prior, Treasurer. New, collapsible, metal-framed bleachers which were long awaited gave the gym a New Look . Christmas came again and was gone in a flash. Winter of 1951 Several of us had the most wonderful time at Stowe, Vermont, on the three day ski trip-got loads of skiing in! The new Honor Society members were elected after Midyears and we were thrilled. Before we knew it, our Varsity Basketball Team was playing in the tournaments at the New Haven Arena. Quite an honor, we'd say! The Cornerstone Club was still going at a rapid pace, and Bob Brabec was elected President and Debbie Mathes, Secretary. Spring of 1951 Hank Holt, Liz Robbins, Pat Quigg, and Martha Tuttle all did swell jobs taking the leading roles in the spring play, Every Family Has One. Top honors of our class were handed out to Margret Swahn, newly elected to the post of Editor-in-Chief of Hallmarks, in the form of the Elmira Key, and Ted johnson, to whom the Harvard Book Award was presented. We gave our first formal May 4th, and it was a huge success-fountain and all. Debbie Mathes and Ken Swanson reigned at our junior Prom and the following were in the court: Carolyn Swanson, john Stearns, Ellie Erick- son, Bob Brabec, judy Phinney, Neil Prior, Nancy Cedar, and Roger johnson. junior Ushers for the graduation of the Class of '51, Ed Dibble, Marilyn johnson, Ted johnson, Betsy Kaehrle, Emil Liebewein, Mary Ann McMahon, Pat Mines, Carolyn Pratt, Neil Prior, Carol Rochon, Sally Summers, and Margret Swahn, were announced as the top 12 of our class. Ed Dibble won first prize in the Hartford County American Legion Oratorical Contest and was also named Editor-in-Chief of Highlights-a young Horace Greeley in our midst. There was a party for Mr. Harriman, our wonderful principal, in honor of his retirement given by the students at Hall. We laughed at the impersona- tions, but we felt very sad as Mr. Harriman gave his final words to his last high school student body. The girls in our class had more fun celebrating the last day of school with dungarees and a breakfast at the West Hartford Diner. And at 9:15, june 15, we scurried eagerly from work to play. SENIOR YEAR Fall of 1951 Dear Class of '53: Finally we'd reached the top at Hall! The first day back we met our new principal, Mr. Weyland, who became a wonderful friend to us all. The Boosters' Club sprang up to support our Athletic Department and sponsored marvelous car cavalcades and Friday night rallies. The first Annual Homecoming Queen, Debbie Mathes, whose attendants were Carolyn Swanson, jackie Watson, Nancy Cedar, and judy Phinney, was crowned by Shirley Ann Sullivan, Tobacco Festival Queen. Naturally the highlight of our first term as Seniors was the Senior Harvest-a really superb formal. President Roy john- son, Vice-President George Skinner, Secretary Ellie Erickson, and Treasurer Harriet Hancock flater replaced by Hank Holtl were elected officers of our class. Coach Harper produced a terrific Soccer Team that fall which took first place in the Class A State Championship. Honor Society officers were elected-Mary Ann McMahon, Presi- dent, Ed Dibble, Vice-President, Karen Berglund, Secretary, and Eero Raig, Treasurer. The poor photographers! We were running in and out of I.orings for two months trying to satisfy our vanity for class pictures. Everyone who was acquainted with our new exchange teacher, Mr. Flynn, from England, found him an extremely friendly chap. Everyone had fun at the numerous Christmas parties and dances that gave our vacation just the right touch. Winter of 1952 Planning our classbook kept us busier than ever, and the editors and typists were running around like wild. The first College Night with representatives from over thirty colleges was held and agreed upon as a worthwhile annual meeting. In the midst of basketball games and Midyears, College Boards came around to remind us that we'd really taken the first step in planning our future. Ed Dibble again gave Hall an outstanding name placing second in the State Oratorical Contest. A code, listing six dating standards by which the West Hartford youth was to abide, was sent home to the parents of all teenagers, and caused much ado. Hats were off to Wes Eustis, who broke the district record in maintaining the highest average of points in Basketball for the '52 season. Again the Gaiety had a tremendous outcome on March 15. Margret Swahn was chosen as the D.A.R.-Award winner, and she was fully recognized as being well worthy of the merit. More than half a school year had gone by-vacation rolled around, and our last time at Stowe as a Y group arrived. We had so much fun that we hated to come home. Spring of 1952 In the spring-time every young man's fancy turns to baseball and track, if nothing else! It seems wonderful to get out of doors again for sports and fun. The Senior Reception, Class Night, and Graduation-not to mention the newly scheduled final exams-terminated our high school career.

What will you be doing? To answer these questions, here in print is the recording of an average day in your life in 1972, twenty years hence . . . At the early hour of five-thirty in the morn' you wake to the sounds of your Arndt Alarm Clock. You rise from your Manyon-made Mattress, dress yourself in Croteau- designed clothes, and brush your teeth with your Dr. Adam'r toothbrush and Dr. Morin'r toothpaste. You enter the kitchen to fix breakfast. Higginr' Vita- min Tablets, perfected in the Starr laboratories, and bacon and eggs from the Frederickt' Farm comprise the menu. You bring in the milk, Parker'r Pasteurized, of course. The morning paper, The N. Y. Timer, co-edited by Ed Dibble and Margret Swahn, is your companion at the breakfast table. Headlines in the Timer tell you that President Swanton has just written a letter ion Steele-styled Stationery, na- turallyh to music critic Fayth Baggirh with an apology for having a singing daughter. A new foreign policy is an- nounced by Secretary of State Ann Caue and Secretary of Defense against Men Debbie Mather, who have substituted rouge and lipstick for wars and weapons. You notice a column by Barbara Rubinow,-who writes about Senator Briggamani latest fight for the Confederacy. Enough of this mad world, it's time for you to get to work. You race past your neighbors, Abbate and Abbott, who are frantically looking for people to join their Bach- elors' Club. You board the Bud Ford Company Bus, which is driven by Enoch Brady, and sit next to an old colleague of yours, Karen Berglund, a famous chemist, who has just discovered a platinum substitute for mud packs, Cto be given to society-seeking dogsj. You get off the vehicle in the heart of Manhattan and head for the office. You pass the Ghent, McCone, and Crane Dye Works, where that new sensational color Torchy Red originated. You see a large dress shop owned by executive joy Shechtman, which is the headquarters for those two fashion experts Bolrter and Brircoe. The Clemou' Publishing House is right next to your office. Here you see on sale two new books, The Dirtinguirhed Gentleman, an autobiography by Kirby Malcolm-Smith, and a sequel to Cheaper by the Dozen, called I Think So Too by two mothers, Barbara Badgley and Ruth Anderton. Finally, a couple of minutes before nine, you reach your destination, which is the Olron Ofiice Building. You get in the Hubbard Elevator, and Frank Kundahl takes you up to the fifth Hoot. The receptionist Dorothy Dauir takes a look at her Walrh watch and gives you an understanding nod. You punch the timeclock made by the Meyer Mechani- cal Instrument Company and sit down at your desk. In your mail is an insurance ad from your salesman, Richard Smith of the Stearn'J Insurance Company for Unmarried Men 6 married ones too great a riskll. The second is a personal letter from an old school chum, Dick Berry, who tells you of his contacts with the ambassadors to Sweden, Peter Ericronj to Germany, Eero Raig,' and to France, ,lacquer Iuneaug and his impressions of the new oceanliner, the Robert E. Larker, named after its designer, and cap- tained by Harry Blackington. Another letter invites you to attend a meeting of the UN this afternoon, the discussion today centering on your profession. You tell your private secretary, Marilyn Sanderron, that you plan to close the nab JO r , Q ' tyf lil 5 55' f 1 I J ff shop early and attend. She thanks you kindly for letting her P Z out early too, because she so wanted to see that new pic- ture at the Trodron Theater, entitled Mrs, Barlow Builds Her Dream House or I Couldn't Get Jack To Do It, starring Nancy Cedar, Pat Quigg, and Martha Tuttle, and directed by Mary Winters. The first thing on your agenda is an appointment with Tom Sullivan, a prominent lawyer in town who dropped in to discuss his newest case. It seems that the defendant, Sue Taylor, is learning how to drive, Ca Cichowitz car, of courseb, and she can't seem to understand why it's destruc- tive to knock down a few pedestrians in the process. Your friend tells you that the defendant was humiliated by the prosecuting attorney, Dick McGurk, and judge Roy John- ron, when claims were made that she knocked down two unsuspecting men named Pete Dauiron and Allen Ander- ton, and broke the big glass windows at the Gunning Electric Company and the Skinner Telephone Co. Office. The judge, Roy johnson, tried to revoke her license, but this, she claimed, was hardly a fair punishment, be- cause she had never possessed one. Sergeants McCue and Kallinich escorted her gently from the scene, and the case was dismissed. Such is business, says Mr. Sullivan, depositing the ashes of his Dennler Cigar in your ashtray upon leaving to join Henry Holt, Dick Clinton, and Dick Killer for lunch at the Professional Men's Club. After this uery important interview has terminated, you settle back in your chair attempting to put on the im- pression of a working man. You are interrupted only by the quarrels between the two businessmen, Roy Zachariaren and Herb Schleicher, who are working in an adjoining office. Your secretary buzzes you and informs you that there is a magazine salesman, Gene Gallo, in the outer office who claims he's working his weary way through college. He presents you with the latest edition of Lewir'r LADIES REVIEW, HOW TO DRAW by Ernie Bergeron, and a copy of the Katz AND Katz AND IAMMER KIDS COM- IC BOOK. You thumb through these literary masterpieces and find ads for several well-known businesses, amongst them Falkin'r False Faces for Funny Characters and Lund- berg'.r and Hunt's Elevated Shoes. You are interrupted by a telephone call from your friend, john Flattery, who wants to know if you'd like to place a small wager on the outcome of the Kriuitz-Coleman heavy- weight fight tomorrow night with his boss, David Shay. Your financial secretary, Don Ducbarme, tells you no go, so you give John the excuse that you can't talk now because you are in the presence of Congressmen Bill Smith and Bill Perkinr, who have taken over where Mr. Kefauver left off. At noon you hurriedly leave the office and head for the Rothfeder Restaurant on 42nd Street where you brush by a few old schoolmates who have entered the teaching pro- fession and are in town today for a convention. They include Dorir Beal, a college English professorg Joel Cutler, now a high school music instructor, Sally Summer: and Dick Pelletier, who are keeping their history classes lively with stories of the Class of '52g and Jean Garrden, Mary Holcombe, and Marian Lougee, who are teaching young students how to put on their rubbers and raincoats in the first grade. Your favorite waitress, Iinny Benton, finally gets around to serving you. You order some GurtafJon'r Swedish coffee, a plateful of Colbert Crackers, and a bowl of Simon'r Salty Soup. She shouts the order to the famous Chefs Litke and Mullarkey. You sit down next to a kindly looking gentle- man who tells you his name is john Saunderr and that he is making a hobby of analyzing psycho-analysts. He tells you that when he went to see his doctor, Neil Prior, a well- known specialist, Che specializes in patientsl he saw sev- eral former classmates now acting as nurses, Betty Borjeton and Virginia Foley, and the medical secretary, Nancy Swan- ron. Since Dr. Prior found him in perfect condition he suggested that he go see those two specialists, Robert Lit'- ingrton and Bruce Norcrorr. This he did. They gave him a dose of scientists Kaehrle'r and Cunningham? new dis- covery and told him to await development of symptoms. The experiment has not yet been concluded. When you finish your delectable meal, you walk slowly back to the office. You bump into several people. Two members of the Public Works Department, whom you recognize as Lew Syker and Bill Fleming, get in your way but blame you for the whole affair, threatening to inform Mayor Margery Blech of your misbehavior. A street pho- tographer, Dane Hartrhorn, snaps your profile. You ask him the importance of the occasion, and he tells you he was sent by his studio, Piper Pictures, to get a picture of the gentleman who just inherited the ownership of the Weirberg National Bank and its two million dollar de- posits, a Mr. Dudley Moulton. You're sorry that the guy with the camera wasn't right about your identity' and hurry onward. Two men, who introduce themselves as Ed Babich and Bob Blume, stop you and try to get you to join the Cornerstone Club or some such organization. You avoid the situation and decide you'll get into a taxi before you get into any more trouble. A cab comes by and you hop in. The driver is none other than Enrico Biella. You share the horseless carriage with Wet Eurtir, a great public speaker, who is known for his fast presentations. He tells you about his meeting world travelers Dick Reed, Allan Iohnron, and Dick Nel- ron who have just gone to Paris to find out if what they say is true about romance over there. You get out in front of your oflice building and nearly stumble over Dick Bur- gerr, Ray Deriderio, and Bob Smith who have just returned from an African Safari. ' You reach your establishment just in time to tune in on the latest sports news on Station WHHS, owned and op- erated by Brewrter Smith. You listen to the commercial for Re Hot-Rods for Ripsnorting Races. Your favorite sports commentator, Roger lohnron, is on next. He tells you that Ronny Perrott, Dick Anderton, and Harry McGlew placed first, second, and third in the National Golf Finals, and that the St. Louis Browns are a sure bet for the pennant with pitcher Dick Ginn, and players Ioe Rorrano and Gary Snell on the team. Coach Brabec of Yale's 57M-game un- defeated team says he'll not weaken to Coach DeBella'.r boasts of Harvard's superiority. Swimmer Ronnie Bon has just swum the Atlantic Ocean fnorth to south, of courseb. Roger then informs you of the feminine athletic events of the day. It seems that Agner Murphy has just won the Olympic high hurdles, and Alice Livingrton, the broad jump for the American team. Gail Bockur lost the 100- mile relay because she stopped to apply lipstick on the last lap. Your commentator signs off with an ad for Tamaccio'J Tasty Tomatos and informs you that the next program is Hallenbeck'r Advice to the Lovelorn. You decide that this is beyond your intellectual standard and turn off your Arch portable. Your secretary buzzes you and says it's time for the UN meeting. You close up shop and merrily walk the streets of New York. A man you recognize as Ronny Lee stops you and asks for a contribution to a worthy cause, The Lee Foundation. Caught in a philanthropic mood, you give him a few pennies and wander onward. In a store window, you notice the names of two famous architects, Hiner and Hakewerrel, builders of the Crabtree Bridge, named after the famous Supreme Court justice. Another establishment on the way is the Watron and Watron Date Bureau where Barbara Trarka, Peggy Johnron, and Gordon Tracy are employed. Looming ahead is the United Nations building where representatives of all the nations in the world are gath- ered. President of the General Assembly Ray Foley has just silenced Bob Foirie, delegate from Lower Slobovia. Eleanor Erickron, the second great Eleanor to represent the U.S. in this governing body, rises and says a few hundred words. You take a look around at the different persons not officially connected with the group. You see Charlie Fran- cir and Bob Gilmartin, two television camera men you know from school days, and there's Emil Liebewein, a tech- nician for the telesmell, the newest thing in the communi- cation field, invented by Herb Heimov. Up in little sound- proof rooms you see several translators. Interpreting Span- ish is Mary Martucci, French-Marilyn Johnron, German- Rita Chrirtianr, and Russian-Lawrence Barrowr, a retired Yale professor. In the reporters' box you see Judy Rulnick, news editor of the Connecticut Herald, Pat Miner, Bev Farber, and Sandra Schor, fashion editors of Vogue, and Bob Wareing, noted sports reporter. You seat yourself next to Connie Garber, maker of Gar- ber's Garter Gum fthe kind that stretcheslb The seats to the other side of you are soon filled by Carol Sawyer, Liz Robbinr, Nancy Barney, and Judy Phinney who are here to promote good will. In front of you sit Judy Thompson and Gail Howe, talking together as usual, as well as Bob Swett, and a few other business officials. Finally you decide to leave. You wander into the Kurth Koffee Shop. A pert waitress, Therera Aubey, rushes to take your order. Short-cook Marlin Briggr fixes things up for you, and your Cote Cojee, Graml Graham Crackerr, and Krinitz Cruellerr are before you. Neil McKirdy comes into the shop and starts spieling off quotations from a for- mer teacher's version of Macbeth. You decide that this is a good place to stay away from, and thus leave. Deciding to call up the little woman and ask her out for the evening you enter the Wennerberg Drugrtore. Ann Weberg, famous New York columnist, keeps you waiting for the use of the telephone. Finally, David Fritrch, a store clerk, shows you where there is another phone. The oper- ator, Carolyn Ebert, dials your number and your wife soon answers. You ask her out for a movie date at 0lmr2ed'r Opera House to see Talbot'r Tales of Truck Driving, but she says she'd much rather go to the Roy Nightclub fowned by Phyllir and Tomb for dinner and dancing. You accept her suggestion and decide to meet her at six in front of the Prerutti School For Rich Girls, where Dick Robertr, Dick Landon, and Bob Hooper are instructors. Since it is only four o'clock, you try to kill time by doing a little window shopping on Fifth Avenue. The first shop on the left is Barbara Baker? Bakery, where two old friends of yours work, jackie Brophy and Laureen Ienren. Next door is French'r French Beauty Salon where hair- dressers Therera Carparino and Lorraine Brouillette create styles for Harriot Fuller, Barbara Quealey, Irir Cohen, lean Naylor, and other famous models. You interrupt your dream shopping to look at a pretty group of nurses fAnn Gurtafron, joan Langen, Carol Ohl- ron, Betty Reed, Ellen Ann Reynolds and Carol Rochonj who run by you. Who's chasing them? Wouldn't you know! It's that popular veterinarian, Howie Leopold!! On the other side of the street you notice the Marcur Employment Agency. just out of curiosity, you make in- quiries and find that the Zito and Zocco Secretarial Services has offered the biggest demand on this agency and has in the past hired secretaries Agatha Martin, Shirley Edgar, joan Hirlop, Gloria Montano, Sandra Sanford, Nancy Snow, Hart. famous mathematician, noted research worker for the Pat Pardo, Judy Richmond, and Edith Tongren. Marion and Mary Ann McMahon, Warner Dictionary Co., also are looking for good secretaries. In a special listing there are noted two other names Barbara Surgenor and Loir Winer, who would like to operate a rocketship to Mars to get away from it all. You continue your walk and nearly fall over Beverly Spillaine, a juvenile court worker, who is talking to Iudy Hanren, a laboratory technician. You stop at a little florist shop, Rorrfr Rose Palace, and pick up a nice bouquet for your wife. As the two of you enter the nightclub, hat-check girls, Yvette Bedard and Janice Bean, take your coats and hats, and head waiter Tom Brennan ushers you to a table where you are in full view of the floor show. At the next table you notice Carole Ballot, Phyllir Ant- arrh, and Judy Rottner, three prominent dental authorities who are in New York for a convention. After waiting sev- eral minutes, a waiter, john Boyce, appears and takes your order for champagne and the ten-dollar dinner. A cute little cigarette girl, Ginny Collinr, makes the rounds and offers you a selection of several brands. You notice the grand entrance of Corinne jenren, a famous Metropolitan Opera singer, at this time with her escort, john Welrh, a multimillionaire. Following them, several high miltary officers enter, including Bill Hiner, joe 0'Conner, Art Payne, Norman Stuart, lack Thomar, and Burt Lucar. Close on their heels you see several airline hostesses and other air workers who are taking the night off. Among them you recognize loan Obert, jo-Ann Pro- fetti, and Marilyn Garvin. You admire the wall murals, designed and painted by Ward Milliot, the curtain patterns designed by lane Par- tridge, and the general good looks of the place. Finally your meal arrives. You eat, drink, and are merry. The floor-show is about to begin. Master of Ceremonies, George Milliot, announces the band for the evening, Thorne? Troubadors, featuring Barbara Carrellr, fluteg Ken Holton, tromboneg Allen Humer, tubaq Marvin Von Deck, violin, and the maestro himself playing the trumpet. fMan! What a bandll The first piece of entertainment is a singing duet con- sisting of ,loan Cherof and Charlie Crawford singing their own arrangement. The Five G's, the nightclub's chorus line of pretty little maidens, is on next. From left to right you see Glover, Goldman, Gorman, Green, and Grover. Number three on the show is Ted Iohnron, a famous magician, who presents one of his greatest feats-taking a hat out of a rabbit. He is interrupted by a very polished singer, Joe Racaniello. M. C. Milliot then introduces Bob Mathew! fthe octet minus seven and a halfb who inter- rupts his own performance to comb his hair and fix his tie. At the conclusion of this act you take one of your Carter'r Big Liver Tablets to settle your nerves. You dance a while, then head for home, paying the cashier Betty Freeman as you leave. The Struck! and Orbeck Taxi Company is at your service, and driver Jack Lundborg is very hospitable. He turns on the cab radio and you listen in to the late news. Announcer Betty Levine is at the mike. Socialites Carolyn Swanton and Elaine Nelson are now being held captive in Sweden for being unloyal fUnloyal Swedes?-Neverllb . . . Carolyn Smith has just won the Mrs. America Contest, runners up being Ann Harrir and Pat Hungerford . . . The LaPenta 84 LaPointe Ladies Wear Co. is involved in a suit-of all things! . . . The owners of the McCarthy and McClintock Gold Finding Corpora- tion claim they're quitting their enterprise, as they have found something much better--men! The gal gossiper signs off with an ad for Rooney'r Personality Palace. Radio- man Bob Strickland announces the time as eleven thirty just as you arrive home. You enter the house and prepare for bed. You take one last look at the society notes in the morning paper before retiring. You note that the former Misses ,lane Buckley, Shirley Burgerr, Madeline Straka, Carol Perrott, janet Even- mn, Joan Kerr, and Nancy Gadd have recently married some of the town's finest business men. Roberta Corby, janet Corning, and Barbara Cowie are co-chairwomen of the school P.T.A., and Wilma Larky and Joy Levin are putting on a tea. As you wander into dreamland, your wife is still chatting about her many successful friends. Names like Liggett, Lopedota, Warren, Kiley, Horpod, Kawolczyk, Iannetta, Hourton, Talbot, Tubbr, and jacobren cross through your semi-conscious state. Another day has elapsed. Eee-gadds man, was it worth it?? --ED DIBBLE -ary N iwovia 5' 5' COLLEGE ff? 1 NIGHT Our parentr are intereftetl, too. Will it be M.l.T.? lax f I l -sm, We consider our local colleges. One of the most beneficial programs introduced at Hall this past year was that of College Night. Dur- ing one Wednesday evening in November the senior students and their parents were given the opportunity of meeting representatives from forty-six colleges in the New England area. At this time questions were answered concerning applications and the various ac- tivities offered at these schools. judging from the large turnout there is no doubt that College Night proved to be an enormous success. Because of this response more College Nights will be held in the future years to help students at Hall make wiser decisions concerning their college careers. 222 If you are going to plant for one year, plant grain.

STUDENT COUNCIL Student government has always played a big part at Hall High School, with the representatives acting as the voice of the students. The council offers valuable experience in parliamentary procedure and encourages its members to alert thinking on many pertinent problems. The constitu- tion states that the purpose of the council is to incite an appreciation of democratic privileges in the student, to further the general welfare of the school, and to unify the schools organizations.

This year the council has again done a commendable job with the Gaiety, which was held in March. The money acquired from the games and general admission was di- vided among the various clubs with the rest going to the 1952 Gaiety scholarship. Once again, under the leadership of Miss Mary Cushman, Dean of Students, the student council and the Gaiety had another successful year. Borjeson. Lucas, N. SENIOR ADVISORY BOARD The Senior Advisory Board, composed of representatives elected in September from the senior homerooms, has some of the most im- portant duties at Hall. The board is responsible for the selection of nominees for the Senior Class ofhcers and for committees planning the Senior Harvest Dance, Class Night, Senior Re- ception, and Graduation.

HONOR SOCIETY Each year the Hall Chapter of the National Honor Society selects from the junior and senior classes those students whose scholastic averages are 85 or better and whose character and service to the school have been out- standing. These Society members are always available to tutor students who need extra help in maintaining passing marks. The Society, under the faculty leadership of Mrs. Helen Rives, sponsors the annual Gaiety and also under- takes the task of selling tickets for it. A part of the pro- ceeds from this festivity is divided among the numerous clubs participating in the Gaiety, while the rest goes into Firrz rzep lo Honor Society if C-'xv Cv. HW 1 E LAD foul i I' ov'P s ' K a scholarship awarded each year to a deserving member of the graduating class. The officers of the Hall Chapter for the l95l-1952 school year are President, Mary Ann McMahon, Vice- President, Ed Dibbleg Secretary, Karen Berglundg Treas- urer, Eero Raigg and student council delegates, Betty Bor- jeson and Robert Thorne. The National Honor Society, as its name implies, is a nationwide organization. Many of the country's promi- nent people have been and are now enrolled in its ranks. The official emblem, which may be purchased by Society members, is a golden torch on an engraved background. GIRLS' LEADERS CLUB Practical experience in leadership and good training for a prospective physical education teacher are provided by the Girls' Leaders Club, which holds its meetings on the second Monday of each month. The members are chosen for their good sportsmanship, athletic ability, and leadership. They umpire for the Held hockey, basketball, and baseball games, and lead classes in square dancing. This year the group also went to see the Ice Capades in New Haven and held a few joint meetings with the Boys' Leaders Club. BOYS, LEADERS CLUB This year the Boys' Leaders Club has proven itself an extremely useful asset to the Hall High athletic program. Not only do these boys facilitate and speed up the distribution of baskets and towels at the beginning and end of the gym periods, but they greatly help to lighten the load of the gym teachers. Taking attendance, assisting in the instruction of fundamen- tal athletic skills, and helping to record test marks are all part of their job. Two or three boys are assigned to each period, the same group taking the same period every day. There is no scholastic credit attached to this job. Those who have given up a study period to perform this service definitely deserve our most heart- felt thanks. MONITORS In january the Senior monitors relin- quished their posts to the Juniors. The names of the new monitors were sub- mitted by the retiring Seniors and the student council. These nominations were approved after a check of their scholas- tic achievements and their citizenship. Their duty is to direct students in the corridors swiftly but safely.

Many matters of international importance were dis- cussed at the clubs meetings, and the members attended lectures and discus- sions by internationally prominent speak- ers. Several gatherings with students from other public and private schools were held during the year. Officers of the club were Robert Potter, presidentg Ellen Reynolds, vice president, Elaine Nelson, secretaryg Carol Sawyer, treasurer, and David Hurwitz, chairman of the program committee. SERVICE CLUB One of our new and most needed clubs at Hull is the Service Club, supervised by Miss Mary Cushman. Membership in this club is strictly voluntary. The Service Club performs a variety of jobs. The members take tickets and usher at con- certs, do extra typing, act as receptionists for the health room, serve refreshments at dances, and distribute notices to the classrooms, Because most of this work is done behind the scenes, this hard-work- ing club deserves much recognition. HISTORY CLUB History's highways and byways were explored by it group of Hallites, mem- bers of the History Club, guided by Mr. Howard Goody, Formed for the purpose of becoming more acquainted with cur- rent events and the history of our state and nation, this club met informally twice a month in room ll2. Club Officers were President, Ed Dibbleg Vice-Presi- dent, Margery Blechg and Secretary- Treasurer, Joyce Marcus. Trips to local points of historical interest, plus informa- tive studies in government, put the word Success on the Clubs activities. silk l . ' rs M 'fi Q-av zmwff' , . a '51 Y , . Q - , .

Without the help of both these staffs Hall could not have been such a well-kept school throughout our high school years. Surely a dance at Hall could not be a success if the custodians did not render their much appreciated service and time. This behind-the-scenes assistance which they so willingly give us is one of the most important factors in the success of the occasion. We also want to thank Viola, with her friendly smile, who always seems to be at hand when she is needed. The girls especially appreciate her assisting them with their corsages. None of us will forget the festive air that the cafeteria possessed during the intermission when refreshments were served. Neither shall we forget the de- licious cakes and desserts the members of the cafeteria staff made for us. The members of both these staffs, whose help has made our years at Hall far more pleasant, deserve our thanks. T00 many cookr never spoil the Joup. ff? u 0 ks if' X1-I -,L A .,-. Q - X T E Perhaps the most valuable result of all educa- tion is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to he done, whether you like it or not: it is the first lesson that ought to he learned: and however early a man's training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly. -THOMAS HENRY HUXLEY Hum-rn-111, flood! Three major Science courses are offered at Hall. Biology, offered in sophomore through senior years, deals with the structure and behavior of living things-plants, insects, and animals. Students are given a chance to dissect actual specimens and make various collections in connection with different phases of the work. Physics is offered to juniors and seniors. Students taking this course study forces, energy, power, sound, light, electricity, and heat along with atomic structure and behavior. A large well-equipped laboratory is used in this course. Chemistry, for seniors only, introduces to the student the funda- mental principles of atomic structure, elements and their compounds, and basic chemical reactions. The hve period week is divided into four discussion periods and one lab period. The Mathematics department is one familiar to everyone at Hall. It plays a big part in both the college preparatory and the business curricula. Alge- bra, geometry, business math, and senior math, an advanced course, are offered. In these courses students not only develop their power of reasoning but also acquire a practical vocational training in the funda- mentals of mathematics. Under the direction of Mrs. Ida Cion, six students met weekly to study flowers, gardens, and house plants. These informal meetings could be called workshop periods, because the club members put to use the knowledge they had gained by doing actual work with fforal arrangements and plant care. Club members participated in flower shows in this area and worked diligently to exhibit beautiful displays. During the past year the members of the Chess Club have had many interesting experiences compet- ing among themselves and participating in matches with other schools. Under the supervision of Mr. Alfred W. Lincoln, the game was taught to those who wished to learn, while those familiar with the game improved their strategy. One of the annual attractions of the Cvaiety was the demonstration put on by six club members. Each of these competed against one outside expert for the prize of a pocket chess set. 11 Practice is the best of all instructors. -PUBILIUS SYRUS Better thingy for better living-through chemirtryf' The birch and the beer?

COMMERCIAL SUBJECTS Commercial subjects play a vital part in the cur- riculum at Hall. They prepare the student for all types of office jobs after graduation and even during summers and after-school hours. A wide variety of subjects is offered including business math, com- mercial law, shorthand, typing, and office practice. INDUSTRIAL ARTS Much of the noise in the basement corridor can be blamed on the boys in the shops. These students are raking advantage of the extensive industrial arts program offered by Williiitti Hall High School. Boys electing the Industrial program are offered training in wood craft, machine and tool work, and mechani- cal drawing. The well-equipped shops and able ine StI'LlCt0I'S give students a chance to learn to use their hands and their brains in close coordination. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB When a group of girls get together at Home Eco- nomics Club meeting, interesting ideas for the home are sure to come forth. This year club members, su- pervised by Miss Marion jones, made candy apples, which they sold to the basketball squad and to the teachers, They also made candles which were given as Christmas presents or were used on their own Thanksgiving dinner table. The club invited the Literary Club to a lecture on Christmas tree decora- tions. GARDEN CLUB First Row L-R: P. Stroh, C. Rahn. Second Row L-R: K. Berglund, j. Brophy, C. Rochon. The weaker fex!

DRAMATIC CLUB We shall always remember Ever Since Eve and Every Family Hai One, the very successful pro- ductions given by the ever-popular Dramatic Club in our sophomore and junior years. Mattie Wilson directed the play in our sophomore year and was succeeded by Mr. Paul D'Elia in our junior year and half of our senior year. Mr. Leonard Keogh acted as adviser for our last semester. The club has con- tinued to furnish the school with high standard productions and line entertainment this year. The Dramatic Club was organized not only to present plays but also to help those interested in gaining the technical knowledge involved in the producing of plays, including the art of scenic backgrounds, make- up, and other important phases of dramatics. The officers for this year were President, Mary Winters, Vice-President, Henry Holt, Secretary, Ellie Wahl- bergg Treasurer, Emily Graham, and Publicity Man- ager, Bob Potter. ART CLUB Many of the art exhibits which adorn the display windows in front of the office are visible proof of the artistic talent at Hall. Few of us have ever walked through the corridors at Hall without seeing numerous examples of the Art Club's work. Football, basketball, and dance posters have always been pro- duced and displayed in time to assure a large attend- ance at these events. The activities of the club are varied and range from watercolor to oil painting. The club's projects change with the seasons. In all their many endeavors the fledgling artists thoroughly enjoy themselves while learning new skills. First Row L-R: P. Mays, M. Lowney, F. Steele, B. Ducharme, B. Freeman. Second Row L-R: N.

One can thus easily see that the Photography , Club holds an important position at Hall. ' The Photography Club has two main ob- jects: to further interest in photography at Hall and to increase technical knowledge of l the subject within the club. The members operate a small but well-equipped dark- room, where they develop their own pic- tures. This year, under the leadership of Mr. Harold Rossiter and President Roy johnson, the group visited studios in the Greater Hartford area to increase and broaden their knowledge of photography. hrst Row L-R: Robbins, M.

DANCE CLUB Take well-proportioned girls, add six long months of practice, costumes that are designed for the eye, a terrific stage set, and a large amount of perfect timing. Season delicately with appropriate music and enjoy. Serves approximately six hundred people. This is, of course, the recipe for the Gaiety Chorus Lines, number one off-spring of the Dance Club. Early in November these girls were chosen from about fifty eager aspirants, all of whom had been taught one simple dance step. Supervised by Mrs. Mabelle Wliiting and coached by President jackie Watson, the group was gradually molded into the major attraction at Gaiety Night. Behind the HIGHLIGHTERS L-R: S. Keyes, P.

Mr. Frank Grolf, director of music in the West Hartford schools, set a spark of music going in our town when he arrived in our ninth grade year. Mr. Vfilliam Lauer, our capable leader, worked diligently in cooperation with Mr. Groffg and together they turned that spark into a flame of enthusiasm which is growing bigger every year. On his first morning at Hall three years ago, Mr. Lauer was greeted by a marching band of less than twenty-five members. Each morning the band arrived at eight o'clock and practiced for an hour in the cold autumn air so that the school might enjoy a superb half- time show at the football games. By our senior year the band had become one of the hnest marching bands in the state of Connecticut. - sl E 2 i ,, Surely Hall High can be proud of its spirited marching band which has not been outdone on the football field. Last Christmas, as the spotlights shone through the beautiful stained glass windows and the trumpet trio spoke from the balcony, the audience was thrilled by the candlelit processional of the Hall High choir. This Christmas, for the first time, the orchestra joined the choir in the magnificent and inspiring performance. Together they did Fred Waring's Night Before Christmas. It was really superb and illus- trated the results obtainable with the orchestra and the choir working in close cooperation. Also participating in the Christmas concert were the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs. Under the direction of Mr. Lauer these organizations did a marvelous job. Another relatively new organization which participated in the concert was the mixed chorus. This group is open to all who love to sing. In the spring concert the concert band gave its Hrst public per- formance of our senior year. Truly this group has come a long way A 'ft Mr. Williufrz Lauer H fs it 7. . ffl ' at 6 9 i since our sophomore year. It has grown not only in size but also in quality, the factor that gave it one of the highest ratings possible in the statewide band festival held in Stratford this spring. Also appearing at the concert was the dance band, which had provided popular music at the Gaiety and Christmas concert. This group has always been popular no matter when or where it has played. The Hall Highlighters, new in our junior year, were seen coast to coast on the Horace Heidt Television Show and won fame on other radio and television programs. Another vocal group which has developed since our arrival at Hall is the Male Octette Cplus 1, 2, 3, ?J. Although not so famous as the Highlighters, the quality of their music is equally satisfying to the ear. In the instrumental line, one of the most worthwhile contribu- tions to Hall's school spirit has been the Troubadors. Working with the newly formed Boosters Club, they supplied music at all of our mobile football rallies, and they kept up the spirit at most of the home basketball games. Also performing for pep rallies and basketball games were the Miserable Three, a strictly informal trio which was more or less miserable as the occasion demanded. Some of the members of the music department succeeded in en- tertaining the audience at the Gaiety and other performances with the German band. Dressed in hilarious costumes, they put on several comedy shows which kept the auditorium in laughter through their portion of the show. Truly this spark of music which started in our school four years ago has grown into a brilliant flame. Dozens of new organizations have been formed, and many shows have been put on that were not dreamed of a few years ago. As long as there are ambitious students and capable leaders, our music department will continue to set ablaze the school spirit in our hearts. ..

Quiz pro- grams and French song fests were two of the varied activities in which the group participated during the school year, Guiding French students in their search for a better understanding of the people and the language was President Francis Lewis, who was assisted by Vice- President Ellen Wahlberg, Secretary Louise Libby, and Treasurer Sue Crane. Faculty adviser was Miss Dorothy New- ton. PANELDISC The arguments grow more heated every time the Hall Paneldisc meets. This organization, the school's debating society, discusses everything from high school sororities and fraternities to world re- armament, thereby educating its members in the power of oratory. During the course of the year, under the leadership of faculty adviser Mr. Lloyd Nickerson, numerous debates were held between members of the Paneldisc and students from other schools. Discussions which concerned many Hallites were heard by the whole student body in assembly hall. Olhcers elected by the club were Presi- dent, Richard Downes, Vice-President, Ronald Rentzg Secretary, joan Billupsg and Treasurer, Robert Murray. SPANISH CLUB Spanish is the language of millions of Latin American and European citizens, and to gain a more thorough knowledge of its world-wide importance, several Hall students have become members of the Spanish Club. Under the excellent guidance of Mr. Richard Flynn, exchange teacher from England, the club members have gone far toward learning about the language and the people who speak it. Officers elected by the organization were President, Mary Martuccig Vice-President, Betsy Kaehrleg and Secretary-Treasurer, janet Hallenbeck. First Row L-R: Standing: L.

Higbligblr. under the guidance of Mrs. Margaret Burdett, has carried on its reputation for being an excellent medium in presenting items of interest con- cerning sports, clubs, and other school activities, besides being a practical educational instrument for those who worked on its staff. This year's editor, Ed Dibble, worked zealously in publishing the paper and kept all the departments humming with activity. Praise should be given to Ed's associates for their untiring efforts in gathering news, writing features, soliciting advertisements, and typing up the material. In charge of the various departments were Pat Mines, Feature Editorg Barbara Rubinow and Dyke Spear, News Editors, Ann Weberg, Social Editorg Betsy Kaehrle and Bob Waireing, Sports Editorsg Ray Foley, Business Man- agerg Ellie Erickson, Subscription Manager, Dick Dole, Advertising Manager, Karen Berglund, Exchange Edi' torg and Roy johnson, Photographer. In October several staff members attended the Con- necticut Scholastic Press Association Convention in Meriden, where Higblighli' Editor, Ed Dibble, delivered the student address. There he won first place in the news-writing contest and third place in the editorial- writing competition. During the first part of December, Higlaliglatr con- ducted its annual fund-raising campaign for under- privileged families in West Hartford. The over-whelm- ing response reflected credit on both the school and the newspaper. Our student publications crusade for the Cornerstone Club, its Twentieth Anniversary Issue, and its June Graduation Number won't soon be forgotten by the Class of '52.

The purpose of the Literary Club, advised by Miss jane Miller, has been to arouse interest at Hall in the various aspects of literary endeavor. Many new members joined with those from last year's group to plan and enjoy a very successful year. Trips were made to both the Avery Memorial Museum and the Hartford Times. The group enjoyed talks by two exchange teachers in the West Hartford system, Mr. Richard L. Flynn of England and Mr. Charles Billcliff of New Zealand. A function of major importance to Literary Club members is the sponsorship of Renaissance, Hall's literary magazine. This year the Renaissance staff, elected from the club's ranks and headed by Frances Lewis, spent much time and effort in checking, typing, and proof reading material submitted by Halls budding authors, and in handling the business affairs of the magazine. Guided by Miss Miller, both the club and magazine have helped to teach members how to improve and enrich their lives by acquaintance with good books and opportuni- ties in group work and self expression. Literature is the greatest of all sources of refined pleasure, and one of the great uses of a liberal education is to enable us to enioy that pleasure. --THOMAS HENRY HUXLEY First Rowz R. Frankel, C.

SXWIMMING CLUB As the Swimming Club began another season, once again the smiling happy faces of twenty-seven eager swimmers could be seen each Thursday afternoon at the Hartford Y.XV.C.A. Under the leadership of Miss .lustine Clark, these girls were taught the fundamentals of junior and senior life saving. Ann Cave assisted in teaching the junior lifesaving class. For an hour each week the club not only received instruction but found time for recreation as well. During the year several interscholastic swimming meets were held, and some of Halls girl swimmers claimed honors. GIRLS' BOWL.ING CLUB Bowling Club offers a splendid chance to both newcomers and experienced bowlers to develop skill in this ever-popular sport. Every Monday afternoon the ten teams, under the direc- tion of Miss Yolanda Garavaglia, met for an hour of exercise and enjoyment at the West Hartford Bowling Alleys. At the end of the season the team winning the tournament had the honor of having its name engraved on a large cup. Among the other prizes awarded were those for the highest score and the top average.

ARCHERY 'CLUB Each Monday and XXfednesday afternoon shouts from Halls south campus warned passers-by that the Archery Club was practicing. Their meetings were divided into two one hour sessions because of the club's enormous size. Under the supervision of Miss Alustine Clark, the group was instructed and trained in a sport which is becoming increasingly popular in many colleges today. Much of the success of the group was due to the expert management of Connie Briscoe and Sally Kempf, FIELD HOCKEY The opening of school signified the beginning of the held hockey season. All classes turned out enthusiastically to practice for the big games of the season, Everyone tried her hardest to learn and to improve upon the hockey skills, attempt- ing at the same time to keep out of the way of the many swinging sticks, Our first play-day was with Iiast Hartford. A plucky, but inexperienced Hall team lost 2-l. The other games of the season, scheduled with New Britain and Manchester, were cancelled because of bad weather. The seniors on the team were .linny Benson, Gail liockus, Ann Cave, Dot Davis, -lay Hallenbeck, Alice Living- ston, Pat Pardo, and Ann Wfeberg, First Row: D. Davis, P. Pardo, A.

BASKETBALL SOFTBALL The softball season this year was short because of rainy weather which Hooded our field and de- layed our early practices. Once under way, however, it rolled along smoothly with an enthusiastic turnout. On Monday and Wednesday afternoons one could see the girls batting the ball and running the bases, hoping to lead their team on to victory. The games that were planned with the neighboring schools had to be cancelled because of the continued bad weather. Some of the members were Jinny Benson, Alice Livingston, Dot Davis, Barbara Jensen, Marilyn Mays, and Carol Sue Rodimon. First Row L-R: A. Cave, A. Livingston, P. Pardo, V. Benson. Second Row L-R: D.

By May the tournament is in full swing with everyone hoping to win. Matches are played whenever and wherever possible. The losers of each match form the consolation tournament. This is one of the finest arrangements made in girls' sports for it allows everyone to continue the game. The tournament helps to promote good sportsmanship. Among the participants were Marilyn Croteau, Caro- lyn Ebers, Betty Levine, Betsy Kaehrle, and Carol Sawyer. N. Ford, C. Pratt, C. Roclimon, B. Jensen, B. Kaehrle. The most widely enjoyed sport among the girls at Hall is basketball. This season is the longest, begin- ning after Christmas and lasting until March. The forwards attempt to improve their scoring ability, hoping that each ball will go through the hoop. The guards practice getting in the way of the forwards, hoping to stop the ball before it sinks into the basket. The play-day planned with New Britain was suc- cessful, and our team proved that practice makes perfect. The team consisted of jinny Benson, Gail Bockus, Ann Cave, Dot Davis, Betsy Kaehrle, Alice Livingston, and Pat Pardo. First Row: P. Pardo, V. Benson, D. Davis. Second Row: G. Bockus, A.

SCHOOL SPIRIT Hall Highs school spirit was given a strong injection of enthusiasm by the formation of the Boosters' Club in the fall of 1951, the beginning of our Senior year. By enlarging Sterling Field to seat a capacity of 5,000, offering season tickets to adults, and giving Booster stickers for the cars of Hall students, our spirit was renewed. The Boosters' Club did not stop there, however. They organized a car cavalcade to go to the games, held pep rallies on Goodmans Green, and sponsored a Father's Day and a Homecoming Dance. To rouse our spirits at the games were our cheerleaders, with both new and old cheers for us to use in spurring our team on to the victories we wanted so much. Our Hall High Band played excellently, and its forma- tions on the field were top quality. The twirlers in their blue and white uniforms kept the crowds entertained dur- ing half-time by exhibiting their whirling barons. All in all, it may be said that something great has been inspired at Hallz spirit-potential spirit that broke forth excitedly when the Boosters' Club was organized. p- ix w. -,-fQf...., W.,,W -my 4.

Prospects for the young coach's first season were dimmed early when Captain john Ruzzbasen was declared ineligible. The Captaincy then went to Captain- elect for the year, Jack Barton. Besides Ruzzbasen, who would be unable to play, there were only three other returning lettermen. These included Bob Brabec, George Beaudry, and jack Preissner. However, by the end of the season Coach Bob had molded together a starting lineup that went like this. Behind the plate was Bob Brabec, who, besides doing a fine job throughout the year, ended up second in the fielding department. On first base was Roger johnson, Captain-elect for the '52 season and number one man in the fielding department. Roger com- mitted only four errors in 150 chances. On the second sack was Captain Jack Barton, who took third place in the race for helding honors. Buddy Sterpka held down the third base position, and Dick Kalinowski did a line job of filling the hole between second and third base. Way out in the daisy patch one could find George Skinner at left, Russ Brignano at center, and Gary Snell at right field. Back on the mound there were John Welsh, who finished the season with the best earned-run average, Dick Ginn, jack Preissner, and relief pitcher Bob Robin- son. Although he hurled in over half the games, Bob got credit for only one win and no losses. Several of the losses that contributed to Hall's not too brilliant record of four wins and 12 losses can be traced to a lack of experience and much needed batting power. At least three more games could have been pulled out of the fire by a hit or two in the last inning. In spite of last year's record, the team is looking forward to a good season in '52. There will be many players returning from last year's starting lineup, much improved by the experience and training gathered in the ill- fated season of '51. Mussey Field was the scene of Hall's first game of the '51 season. Despite the efforts of Dick Ginn and Bob Robinson, the Blue and White dropped the game by a score of 8-O, Hall committing five miscues to Bristol's none. Hall Field then saw the Westies come up with five runs in the ninth to lose a heartbreaker to Hamden 9-7, john Welsh going eight innings and Bob Robinson retiring the side in the ninth. The Blue and White next traveled across the river to East Hartford where, after trailing most of the game, Hall rallied with two runs. The attempt was un- successful, and the Westies lost 4-2, Ginn going the distance. 91 Run! Catch that ball! It fell to john Welsh to cop the first win of the season. The team came through strong in the ninth to win by the slim margin of 4-3 over Manchester. The 4th of May gave Hall another bad disappointment as Middletown took a decisive 7-1 victory over Ginn and relief pitcher Bob Robinson. jack Preissner started his first game when the Blue and White next traveled to Meriden. However, he found it rough going and it was Bob Robinson who retired the side in the ninth. The final score was 6-1 in favor of Meriden. Hall fans had something to cheer about when the Westies won a thriller from Bulkeley in the ninth inning, 15-14, Ginn going seven innings and Robinson finishing and receiving credit for the victory. Hopes for a successful season brightened when Welsh and Robinson led the way to a 13-8 victory over Weaver. A returning gloom fell over loyal Hallites when Hamden High proved to be the sight of another loss, Ginn going the route for a 7-4 decision. Poor support hindered Preissner as he was walloped 11-4 at Manchester, Robinson taking over in the seventh inning. A game Blue and White team went down to defeat on its home field in spite of the best efforts of john Welsh. It was a real heart-breaker when the final score read Middletown 4, Hall 5. On the 24th of May, Bill Nazel of Meriden stopped Hall 7-1, Ginn toiling throughout the game. The next game the Westies dropped by the decisive margin of 8-0, Perrone doing a fine job for Weaver, and Preissner and Robinson working hard through- out the game for Hall. East came West next and was soundly drubbed by the Blue and White, 8-2. The home team played a fine game, committing only one error and with pitcher John Welsh displaying only the best. Again Welsh tried, but this time dropped a 7-2 score to a spirited Bulkeley team. The Blue and White ended their season on a sour note as they dropped a 10-3 game to a really hustling team from Bristol that was reaching for state Out! H eave! recognition. Pitcher Dick Ginn went the route for the Westies. Senior letter men were jack Barton, George Beaudry, Hoppy Hopkinson, and Jack Preissner. Returning letter men behind Captain-elect Roger Johnson will be as follows: seniors: Bob Brabec, Dick Ginn, joe Rossano, George Skinner, Gary Snell, John Welsh, and juniors: Russ Brignano and Dick Kalinowski, Manager Mike Viollette also received his letter.

TRACK-1951 The 1951 Hall track squad, led by Co-Captain and star Dick Tingley, finished a very successful season with an excellent record. The Blue and White downed all dual meet competition except Bulkeley to take the C.C.I.L. championship, placed second in the C.C.1.L. meet at Wes- leyan, and placed fourth at the annual Memorial Day Greater Hartford meet held at Trinity College. The Harper- men also took second honors at the Sectional Trials at Storrs and captured fourth place in the state meet at Yale University. Three of our boys, Dick Tingley, Art McNeil, and jay Layton, qualified for the New England meet which was held at Saxton's River, Vermont. At the New Eng- lands, Layton tied for fifth in the high jump, McNeil tied for fifth in the pole vault, and Tingley took second place in the javelin throw. Jay Layton broke the Greater Hartford high jump record with a leap of 5 ft. IOM in., and Dick Tingley broke both the school high jump record and the scoring record for a single season. He jumped 5 ft. 11 in. in the Manchester meet to take all honors and scored 144 points during the season to break Peterson's old record of 105. Although most of the lettermen have graduated, pros- pects do not look too bad. Many boys proved themselves to be good competitors late in the season and will be the back-bone of the 1952 squad. Track Coaches Dale Harper and Hayes Kruger must be complimented for the excellent job they have done with the boys and should take a great deal of the credit for the fine season the squad enjoyed. At a meeting of the lettermen following the season, Logan Clemow and john Stearns were elected to lead Hall's 1952 Track Team. The lettermen included the following: Ronald Phillipsg Brewster Smith, Malcolm Roth, Arthur McNeil, Co4Cap- taing james Dutton, Richard Tingley, Co-Captain, Richard Butterworth, jay Layton, joseph Waite, Gene Gallo, Roy Anderson, Logan Clemowg Co-Captain-elect, james Davis, Norman La Roche, Richard Ideg and john Stearns, Co- Captain-elect. pts.

HALL TENNIS Halls five-year reign in C.C.I.L. competition ap- parently was over as we began spring practice with only two holdovers from last year's squad, Ben Roth- feder and Captain-elect Don Burr. A squad was soon formed from twenty candidates. Burr, Rothfeder, and jay Grant held down the first three positions, re- spectively, with Steve Weinstein, Cal Zieky, Harold Katzman, and Art Gendler all vying for the number four spot. In the first round of competition Hall won over Bristol 5-0, Manchester 5-0, Middletown 3-2, Meri- den 4-1, and lost 2-3 to a strong Hamden team. In P 'Q N-J the second round, with Rothfeder playing number one, we lost to Hamden 2-3 and Manchester 1-4. Outside the league we lost to We11ver's state cham- pionship team O-4 and 1-5, but came back strong to down Middletown 4-1, Bristol 5-0, and Meri- den 5-0. Hamden became the new C.C.I.L. champions, and Hall, with a season's record of seven wins and five defeats, wound up in second place. The best indi- vidual record was Ben Rothfeder's with fourteen victories and live defeats. Nucleus for next season's squad is Rorhfeder and Gendler, but if we are to recapture the C.C.I.L. plaque we must have more good players out for tennis in 1952. .1--5 ,aivfg v'1'Q's ,Go 1' .Qxv 'i- ,gl 0,4 ,Qt .tag Og as, win 0,0309 fin 'gi .0 nk' 1 ,4 0 Q' 0' 1 I 'J33uli'l0 'fx i 99 'KW 1' ' QWUV fe ' '- - 'o -hiv-.

The loss came at the hands of a previously beaten Weaver array and was the first loss suffered in two and one half years of dual meets. The complete record for three years of C.C.I.L. competition lists 39 victories against only 3 defeats and 2 ties. In the past five years, moreover, Hall has never placed lower than fourth in the state tournament. At the start of the season Dick Clinton and Ron Per- rott were the only experienced holdovers, but Dick Ander- son, Harry McGlew, and Tom Roy soon came into their own and helped Mr. Hardy maintain I-Iall's reputation on the fairways. All these boys, plus newcomer Al Briggaman, are looking forward to a great season for W.H.H.S. Captain Ronny Perrott won the State individual player award and the team Hnished the year in grand style by placing second in the state tournament. nd -Q 3 - A .'1'4, x-'wif' -f i,'3f:zggf13iM' As. as M-f ws ,,......

Rugged Larry Barrows was chosen to take the fullback spot, and Bob Foisie and Gary Snell were selected as halfbacks. For backfield replace- ments McKee came up with Al Briggaman, Danny Law- ler, Bill Hines, and Bob Turbie. In the season's opener at Bristol, Hall was unable to protect a first period two touchdown lead as Bristol's Foot- ballers fought back to eke out a 13 to 12 victory. Co- Captain Bob Brabec scored Hall's first touchdown on a 51-yard run from scrimmage, and then Bob Foisie scored with a 20-yard run. Bristol came back fast as O'Brian scored in both the second and third quarters and substitute Charlie Hoffman converted for the game-winning margin. Hall traveled to Meriden, and, led by Bob Brabec's great performance, crushed Meriden High 12 to 0. Brabec scored twice on runs of 26 and 34 yards. Hall's line held the opposition's attack to 31 yards of ground. In the Hrst home game of the season, the Blue and White fell victim to a strong Manchester team, 47 to 21. The Silk City aggregation, led by star fullback Jim Roach, who registered four touchdowns, scored in every period and Hall was never in the ballgame. The lone bright spot in a drab afternoon for West Hartford was Bob Brabec's 78-yard scoring jaunt through the entire Manchester team. Hines and Barrows also scored for Hall late in the fourth period. In a Dad's Day game at Sterling Field a highly touted Weaver eleven downed the Westies 34 to 14. The Greenies capitalized on two breaks late in the second period for touchdowns: Hall's failure to kick on fourth down deep in its own territory and an intercepted pass. Brabec scored in the first period from the 19 to cap a sustained drive, and a Brabec to Stearns pass, good for 14 yards, accounted M-m-m what rhoulderr. for Hall's other touchdown in the third period. Bob Robin- son added both extra points for the Westies in a fine exhibition of place kicking. In a heroic stand at Middletown the Hall eleven suc- cumbed 19 to 12. Middletown scored first, with Ciccarello taking the ball over. Hall then received the kickoff and marched the length of the field with Brabec scoring. The home team scored again in both the second and third periods, followed by another Hall march capped by Snell's 2-yard plunge. A feature of both the Westies scoring drives was Brabec to Stearns passes. Touchdown runs of 90 and 82 yards by Co-Captain Brabec flattened a big Hamden eleven at Sterling Field on Band Day. Brabec scored all of Hall's three touchdowns and, together with Co-Captain Strat Gunning, sparked the Westies on defense in this 18 to 6 defeat of a C.C.I.I.. rival. Gary Snell and Larry Barrows starred in the 14-6 con- quest of arch rival, East Hartford. Each scored, Barrows on an 86-yard return of an intercepted pass, and Snell on a 15- yard pass from quarterback Bob Brabec. Hall closed out the season at low ebb, bowing to power- ful Bulkeley at Municipal Stadium 45-14. Frank Mirabella and Don Rini ran wild for the Maroon, while Brabec figured in both West Hartford scores. The McKee men wound up with a 5 and 5 record, but played excellent ball at times during the season. Co-Cap- tain Bob Brabec was always a standout performer, as was Co-Captain Strat Gunning. Much credit should go to Coaches Bob McKee, Chuck Hardy, and Hayes Kruger for the fine job they did despite crippling injuries and lack of material. At a meeting of the Lettermen Dick Curran was elected Captain for the '52 season. Hannon. Second Row L-R: R. Skendarian, R. Hungerford, J. Thomas, R. Brignano, R. Kalinowski, D. T. Parker, P.

Compiling a record of ll victories in I2 starts, they went on to win the C.I.A.C. Class A-B Soccer Championship, plus the C.C.I.L. Championship for the twelfth con- secutive year. The Soccer Team clinched the State Championship by defeating Manchester on November 8 at Weth- ersfield High School with a score of I-0. The tally came in the second quarter on Richie Hungerford's penalty kick. In the last quarter Hall put down a desperate attempt to tie up the game, thus preventing a dual championship. Captain Ken Swanson's absence from the team near the middle of the season, necessitated by an operation, was sorely felt. Here is a brief review of the season's games, in- cluding the semi-final play-off with Wethersfield. HALL 3, MANCHESTER 2 The Hall High Soccer Team started its season with a close victory over Manchester.

BASKETBALL Hall's 1951-'52 basketball season starred out with only two returning let- tetmen from the previous year's team which qualified for and reached the quarter-finals of the State Tournament. These two, Allan johnson and Wes Eustis, along with members of last years junior varsity squad comprised this years team. The lack of experienced ballplayers made it necessary for Coach Dale Harper to alter the starting lineup many times in an effort to find a win- ning combination. Under his expert coaching these boys developed into fine basketball players. Perhaps the most talked about and publicized player in the district this year was center 'Wes Eustis, who with his fine rebounding and shotmaking, broke the school scoring record held by Jack Preissner and the district scoring record held by Mickey Yellin of Weaver with a total of 357 points for the season and a game average of over 2l points. Another excellent and defensive ballplayer was Captain Allan johnson, whose set shots consistently scored for the Harpermen. Ron Krivitz was also a high scorer and a good player. The rebounding strength of the team was divided between Eustis and Roy Johnson, a greatly improved player whose playing was deserving of credit. The two cleverest ball handlers and playmakers were Dick Curran and Dan Lawler, who were continually setting up scoring plays. Dick Zeigler, Mark Gassner, Tom Parker, Larry Barrows, and Bob Lasker saw considerable action and made good showings. A late addition to the team was Ken Swanson, Coming up fast in the latter part of the season was Bill Young whose set shooting and driving play made him a valuable asset. Rounding out the squad we have Art Polstein, Bob Osmond, and George Staib, who saw action with both varsity and junior varsity teams. While this years record was only four wins against twelve setbacks, this record need not seem very disappointing considering the caliber of Hall's op- ponents. Of the eight opposing teams, five qualified for the State Tournament Playoffs. HALL 48, MERIDEN 55 Hall lost its hrst game of the season at Meriden 55-48 in spite of a fine fourth quarter comeback. Hall's poor foul shooting was the deciding factor of the game. HALL 65, BULKELEY 61 In the first homegame of the season the Harpermen upset a favored Bulkeley team on a shot by Wes Eustis in the last seven seconds of the game.

HALL 38, BRISTOL 86 Playing away from home, Hall bowed gracefully to a superb Bristol ball club with a final score of 86-38. HALL 6l, BULKELEY 63 With Bulkeley playing host, Hall was edged out 63-61.
