She has unstintingly devoted both her time and talents to make our class activities successful, and many of our happiest recollections of W. M. I. will be centered about our association with her both in our Art classes and outside. 4 WELCOME Our Legenda staff has an unusual pleasure this year in welcoming to the Faculty our exchange teacher, Mademoiselle Juliette Lassausse, who comes to us from the Lycee Edgar Quinet in Lyon, France. Her lively interest in everything American and her eagerness to become one of us here at W. M. I. have endeared her to all. To our ambassadress of international good will then, let us say, Soyez la bienvenue.” 5 FACULTY E. Mildred Abbott Audio-Visual Education, Mathematics Marion G. Anderson Business K.

Your conception of freedom, for instance, is very different now that you are seniors from what it was when you were freshmen. Your sense of responsibility, too, has developed because you have accepted responsibility. You are not so easily swayed because your mind is more controlled, your sense of judgment stronger. Your knowledge of what is right and what is wrong is surer, and you realize more than you did that you have the power to choose your way of living. In other words, you have grown — matured. The more you have grown, the greater success have you made of your school life, though your record card humbly records D's. Your happiness, and the happiness of those with whom you come in contact, depends on the growth of your character. What you are, and what you will be, are the only things that matter. People should think less about what they ought to do and more about what they ought to be, says Eckhart. If only their being were good, their works would shine forth brightly. Do not imagine that you can ground your salvation upon actions; it must rest on what you are. The ground upon which good character rests is the very same ground from which man's work derives its value; namely, a mind wholly tuned to God. On the surface, it so often seems that the most ungodly people are the most prosperous, but as you grow older, seeking always the good, you will have an inner happiness and contentment that nothing can take away from you, but which will be an inexhaustible supply when you share it with others less fortunate than yourself. Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness. MARGARET MARY ALGER Margie Glee Club—1; W. M. 1.

Where’s Bulkeley???? £ M The Council is the legislative branch of the Better Yet Club, our student government. It is comprised of representatives from each homeroom in the school. At regularly held meetings, matters of student interest are openly discussed by the Council and solutions to problems are sought. Through the Council each student is given opportunity to express her opinions, to participate in the government of her school, and to put into practice the spirit of democracy. 40 VIGILANCE DEPARTMENT The Vigilance Department is that branch of our student government which enforces the laws of the school. A permanent chairman has been elected to carry on throughout the whole year. With black booklets and blue and white arm bands, the members of the Vigilance Department are exercising their influence toward making W. M. I. Better Yet,” by helping direct traffic between classes, supervising the students' use of the campus and cafeteria, and acting as office messengers. Members are elected by homerooms in October and April. HONOR COURT The Honor Court with its Chief Justice and seven associate justices represents the Judiciary department of the student government. The Constitution of the Better Yet Club bestows upon the Honor Court the power to try all students who have violated the laws of the school, and to render punishment, subject to the approval of the principal and the faculty adviser. 41 ART SERVICE Every Monday afternoon the Art Service Club meets to perform services for W. M. I. and community organizations. These services consist of making posters, stage settings, slides, and doing other work that arises during the year. At least one year of art experience is required for membership. The Art Service Club enjoys doing work for others, but also engages in such pleasurable activities as outdoor sketching, modeling, finger painting, the annual picnic, and the traditional decorating of Buell Hall at Christmas time. BUSINESS SERVICE Business Service came into existence in October, 1948. Its purpose is to give to its members real experience in office work by taking care of any typing, duplicating, filing or other office work which may be needed by the administration and faculty. Business Service, whose membership is made up of Seniors majoring in Business, meets regularly once a week for work. Twice a year, at Christmas when they have a party, and in May when they have a picnic, the group with their advisers enjoys a social get-together. 42 THE PROJECTION SERVICE The Projection Service, as in past years is a service which helps the school in the audio-visual part of the curriculum. The operators care for machines and films, train new members, and show films, slides, film strips, and opaque materials in classes, clubs, and assemblies. All students are eligible for membership, and the senior members help with the business of the service. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Athletic Association to which every student belongs, has always played an important part at W. M. I. All girls may take part in the sports and tournaments and become eligible for various awards, the highest of which is the Old English Monogram. A number of sport days at intervals enable girls from W. M. I. and surrounding schools to compete with each other, and non-competitive Play Days are held with six eastern Connecticut high schools. The Athletic Association's broad program enables every girl to participate in activities and this, we believe, promotes good sportsmanship and better school spirit. DRAMA CLUB The meetings of the Drama Club take place both during and after school this year. They are, for the most part, instructive in many phases of dramatics including stage direction, voice, pantomime, make-up, and play reading. Here, in these workshop periods, the girls have the opportunity to practice as they learn. 1949’s Potpourri with Bulkeley met with enthusiastic approval. The Christmas program, a tradition with the Drama Club, and the spring production are just two of the public accomplishments of this year’s club. BACKGROUNDS OF STAGE AND RADIO Backgrounds of Stage and Radio is a club which aims to acquaint the student with the techniques of stage and radio production. The Junior and Senior members of the club select one phase of production on which to concentrate. Crews are organized, and each member learns the technique of stage managing, scene design, costuming, lighting, properties, scenery, sound, or business managing. The out-of-school meetings, which Freshmen and Sophomores may attend, are devoted to tours of various local auditoriums and radio stations in order that the club members may study professional methods of drama- JOURNALISTS’ CLUB Journalists' Club has three purposes: to give a better understanding of newspapers; to acquaint club members with the requirements of the journalistic profession; to explain editorial problems. AUTHORS’ CLUB The Authors' Club welcomes Juniors and Seniors who enjoy writing as a means of self-expression through experimenting with such imaginative forms as the sketch, the story, the one-act play, and poetry. Along with the sharing of ideas and experiences the students explore the realms of life and books, discover new avenues of beauty, and find new ways of communicating this beauty to others. HILLTOP Hilltop exists to record the voice of the student through editorials and creative writing. This year, the editors have striven to enlarge our school paper and, in the new publication, to meet the highest requirements of high school journalism. The future is uncertain, but hopes are high for the ever-broadening future of Hilltop! 44 LE CERCLE FRANCAIS Le Cercle Francais this year has enjoyed an interesting association with the English Club of the Lycee Edgar Quinet in Lyon, France. Through its former adviser. Mile Lassausse, our members became acquainted with the French girls who were studying English in that Lycee. Correspondence between the two groups with reports of their meetings added much to the pleasure of both Foreign Language clubs. Le Cercle. Francais voted to continue its project, the adoption of two children undertaken five years ago. Interspersed- in its usual programs, and pieces de Guignol, were meetings devoted to packing boxes of food, clothing and Christmas gifts, and making plans for the annual informal dance. The letters of appreciation from nos enfants adoptees strengthened the feeling of friendship between la France at l'Amerique. SPANISH CLUB Vamonos say Las Alegres Senor-itas when it is time for Spanish Club. Here through movies, guest speakers, or programs presented by their own members, the girls learn more about the colorful customs of the fascinating lands south of the border. They gain practical experience in the use of the language by conducting the meetings in Spanish, singing and playing social games. i Buenas memorias, amigas, y buena suerte en el porvenir! FOLK DANCE CLUB The Folk Dance Club was organized this year at W. M. I. In addition to furnishing fun and recreation through folk dancing, it attempts to give the students a better understanding of their neighbors in the world at large. Costumes and traditions of many lands are studied, and invaluable training in rhythm and basic technical detail is given. JUNIOR CITIZENS’ COUNCIL The. Junior Citizens’ Council endeavors to give its membership active citizenship training. Each year it assists in conducting community drives and school elections, and participates in inter-school forums. In addition, adult speakers in the community are often secured to emphasize the best features of fine citizenship, the goal of every member. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB The International Relations Club endeavors to promote a better understanding of world peoples and problems by a serious study of the United Nations in content and operation; by by inviting leaders in the field of internationalism to speak to its members; by discussion groups; and by study of the music, dance, and literature of individual national groups. Active relations with other nations is achieved by sending books and magazines to hospitals in foreign lands and by correspondence with students in other countries. At the close of its year, the International Relations club attends a meeting of the General Assembly at Flushing, Long Island. FIELD TRIP COMMITTEE The Field Trip Committee was or-ganzied in the fall of 1948 so that all Seniors taking Social Studies IV might benefit from field trips. The committee consists of six girls, one elected from each Social Studies IV class. Group visits were made to the State Farm, the Mystic Oral School, and the Seaside Sanatorium. During a full day trip to Hartford, the State Capitol, Prison, Library and Museum, and the Children's Village were visited. The Committee visited various social agencies such as the Learned House, the Day Nursery, the Visiting Nurse Association, and the City Health and Welfare Departments. They also visited the N. E. Collapsible Tube Company, the County Jail, the City Police Station, the County Courts, and the City Council in session. BIOLOGY CLUB As clubs may now meet in school time, we plan to make full use of our biological equipment in the laboratory. Club members may undertake projects entailing the use of the microscope, or they may prepare materials to be used in regular class work. The after-school meetings will include field trips for collecting specimens and for studying birds. Some time will be used for visits to nearby places of natural interest, and for at least one journey to a museum. AVIATION CLUB This is the second successful year of the Aviation Club. Its purpose is to familiarize the students at W. M. I. with the different phases of aviation, and to promote a better understanding of the part it plays and will play in their lives. At each meeting, girls who won the 1949 flight scholarships led discussions regarding different aspects of flight. Successful completion and understanding of such ground school subjects as theory of flight, navigation, and meteorology are rewarded with the club's winged emblem and a plane ride. With this background, it is expected that the club members of the class of 1950 will continue to Fly High. RECORD CLUB The purpose of the Record Club is to listen to music we enjoy, and to learn to enjoy all good music. MATHEMATICS CLUB There are two Mathematics Clubs available to the students. The advanced Mathematics Club is open to all Juniors and Seniors enrolled in any of the mathematics courses. The purpose of the club is to further the mathematical knowledge and to enrich the background of the student, with special emphasis on the practical use of mathematics in life. The other Mathematics Club is open to any one enrolled in any of the mathematics courses. It, too, is designed to emphasize the practical use of mathematics especially in the use of various instruments for measuring distances. EXPERIMENTAL SCIENCE CLUB The Experimental Science Club is open to Seniors who are studying or have studied chemistry. Its activities include experiments performed by its members, and field trips to observe the application of science. PHOTOGRAPHY CLUBS The Photo Club has grown into two clubs, an Advanced Photography Club and the Photo Club. Dr. Dagh-lian, as adviser to the advanced group, is sharing his hobby and experience with the two upper classes. The Sophomores and Freshmen of the Photo Club will take, develop, and print their own pictures. With their adviser. Miss Abbott, they will supply the darkroom for the members of both clubs. 48 HOME ARTS The purpose of this newly organized club is to further interest in home economics, to realize opportunities available in the field, and to gain an appreciation of the joys and satisfactions of homemaking. Two specific groups were formulated as part of this club’s activities to meet the expressed desires of the girls. In one group the chief interests are knitting and handwork. In the other, basic sewing techniques are learned, with the making of garments the ultimate acomplishment. For the development of these skills, additional after school meetings are planned. BETTER HEALTH CLUB The Better Health Club has been formed so that students may take an active part in developing better health in themselves, in their homes, in their school, and in the community. The members will visit various clinics and social agencies in the city. LIBRARY CLUB The W. M. I. Library Club is composed of a group of girls who enjoy taking part in the functioning of their library in the school. Qualified members assist in the library during their study periods. Meetings are planned with the idea of helping to stimulate in their classmates an interest in reading, both for study and for enjoyment. A book exhibit is arranged each year during Book Week. An annual picnic is held in June. 49 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS PRESIDENT Dorothy Lawrence VICE PRESIDENT Sheila Neilan SECRETARY Elizabeth Burke TREASURER Kathleen Flanagan JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS PRESIDENT Sarah McDonald VICE PRESIDENT Sheila Corcoran SECRETARY Elizabeth Hiscox TREASURER Mary Ann Shea SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS PRESIDENT Verna Kelly VICE PRESIDENT Janet Giordani SECRETARY Barbara Robbins TREASURER Sally Graham Advanced Projection Club Advanced Math Club Lunch — Senior Style Mrs. Stucky’s Senior English!

The champion class is awarded five points toward the cup, while individual high scorers receive trophies. The final meeting of the A. A. is held in Chapel where the class which has accumulated the highest number of points throughout the school year is presented with the much-coveted loving cup. Girls receive awards and numerals at this time. All these events add up to make the athletic department one of the most popular here at school. Don’t Crowd, Girls! Nice Shot! Swish! Choir Officers CHOIR The W. M. I. Choir is composed of fifty members from the three upper classes. It sings for school assemblies, chapel services, and sometimes in programs out of school. On November 30, the Choir, together with the rest of the Music Department, put on a variety show to help raise funds for new robes. Four members of the Choir participated in the Connecticut All-State Music Festival held in Hartford on October 27th. On March 29th our Choir was adjudicated in the Connecticut All-State Choral Adjudication Festival. A new group of twelve singers selected from the Choir makes its debut this year singing music of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The group is known as the Madrigal Club. Quartet Madrigal Club ORCHESTRA Our Orchestra, composed of twenty-three instrumentalists from all four classes, plays in chapel and assembly programs. Several members of the W. M. I. orchestra participated in the Connecticut All-State Festival at Hartford. Ensemble groups selected from the orchestra are a brass quintet and a piano quintet. Members of the orchestra are awarded a service stripe for one year’s work, and an emblem after three years of service. Orchestra Officers String Ensemble Band Officers BAND The W. M. I. Band plays for flag-saluting exercises, assemblies, chapel programs, and often marches in civic parades.

This will be no ordinary wedding, but a super-deluxe, colossal one, with each and every member of the class of nineteen hundred and fifty present. In the newspaper published and edited by Carol Sawyer, you will read this summary of the wedding, written by Mary Ann Zieziulewicz, a reporter: A very pretty wedding was celebrated recently when Miss Ann Round was married. The bride entered the church to the strains of Lohengrin played by Ann Strosberg, with members of the choir, Marilyn Follett, Marilyn Litinsky, Esther Katz, Lois McCler-non, Pamela Hancock, Mary Elizabeth Groebel, Mary Donovan, and June Freeman singing. Preceding this, Virginia Douglass had sung Because.” The beautiful ceremony was performed by Loraine Watrous. The bride's gown, designed by Joan Schroeder and made by Norma Hohn, was of white organdy. The maid of honor, Mary Ryan, wore white organdy over blue. The bridesmaids, Betty St. Germain, Joan Silva, Constance Balentine, Patricia Rogers, Margaret Riordan, Lois Sherlock, Virginia Sherlock and Barbara Coffey, wore white organdy over pink. The flower girl was Geraldine Morsicato. The flowers for the wedding, white roses, were arranged by Irene McNeil. The bride and groom left the church and passed under an arch of uplifted batons, these being held by Alora Cruickshank, Carol Labenski, Gloria May, Barbara Stanley, Katherine Boyle, Barbara Phillips, Norma Lancello, Barbara Clark, Connie Tallevi, Mary Scully, and Loretta Tryon, twirlers during Miss Round's high school days. Following the ceremony, a reception was held at Sydney Wood's restaurant. Along 66 with the wedding party and the parents of the bride and groom, others in the receiving line were: Reva Santer, Nancy Andrews, Dorothy Bogas, Dorothy Lawrence, Barbara Roberge, Donna Satti, Marilyn Thornton, Joan Gorra, and Doris Grimes. A delicious meal was served by waitresses: Margaret Alger, Geraldine Cooper, Elizabeth Davidson, Anita Emanuel, Faith Elenowitz, Helen Pollack, Josephine Ricatta and Helen Pond, under the expert supervision of Gracie-Gail Baldwin, dietician. After the delicious meal was over, and, quite contrary to the usual procedure (but we warned you—this was an exceptional wedding), an entertainment was provided. Lee Rouse and Lynn Jillson, both well known to the dancing world, entertained. This was followed by an accordion solo by Jean Koss. A skit, illustrating different phases of the girls' high school days, was presented. This skit was very clever, for every actress is now a professional, and all graduated with Miss Round from W. M. I. The playlet, written by Jean Cone and directed by Marjorie Chandler, starred Ann AuClaire and Janet Churchill with Alice Atchales, Jacqueline Ballestrini, Ann Belden, Margot Bernstein, Elizabeth Burke, Delores Chilcote, Joyce Cote, Gilda Diamantini, Kathleen Flanagan, Sheila Donohue, Catherine E. Hunt and Lois Lake, in the supporting roles. After the applause died down, speakers were introduced. The first to speak was Connie McEwen, now professor at Connecticut College for Women. Other speakers were: Donna Stevens, Congresswoman; Alice Thilburg, sports writer for the New York Times ; Ruth Savin, government economist; Ann Foley, a politician, at present lining up votes for the coming presidential election; Eleanor J. Barone, judge; Eleanor M. Barone, chief of police; Doris Brouillette, model; Annette Franklin, doctor; Phyllis Hogan, truant officer; Anne Ponedel, assistant professor of home economics; and Virginia Vine, buyer for Macy's. These all gave brief talks on their positions in the business world. Joan Sharaf also spoke on the topic, World government—how it is progressing, and Ellen Keating, a lawyer, gave her views on, Should atomic hotrods be allowed on public highways?” An orchestra under the direction of Gladys Coppola, comprising Carol Barnett, Joan Cluny, Anita Dearden, Eileen Tyrseck, Jane McCraw, Stella Roderick, Marie Tudisca, and Rita Thurber, played for dancing. Lucille Utz was vocalist with the group and as a special feature, Arlene McGrath and Marjorie Werner played a piano duet, Heart and Soul. The bride wore a green suit for her travelling costume which was made by Barbara 67 Ferrigno. The newlyweds will stay at Eleanor Sheehan's hotel in New York, and will tour New York City under the guidance of Arlene Lesser. A picture of all the guests was taken by Diana Hodge, assisted by Katrina Browne. In a few years this picture will become very interesting because we show in it, the faces of other successful women: Connie Beran, Connie Vocolina, Lorna Shea, Catherine Smith, Angela Giordano, and Ruth Cahey, secretaries; Elizabeth Niskanen, Theodora James, stenographers; Patricia Bond, Marion Scripelliti, Shoshana Traub, Geraldine Sharaf, Geraldine O'Connor, all at present doing graduate work in college; Mary Davis, Cornelia Morgan, Louise Wheeler, Margaret Lyden, projectionists; Louise Lawrence, bookkeeper; Dorothy Yuhas, Marion Zaslow, Roselyn Goldberg, Zoe Kalogine, Athena Kiritsis, librarians; Mary Cavanaugh, Catherine S. Hunt, Rose Kozlin, Elaine Lavin, Gloria Losacano, Lillian Morris, and Sheila Neilan, nurses. —So after all, school was really life—we were then on the first rungs of the ladder of success, though perhaps we did not know it.
