Guiding us through the paths of knowledge, Windham has instilled in us a respect for learning and a desire for wisf dom. Through days of working together with friendly companions and stimulating leaders, she has revealed to us the rewards of cooperation and the happiness of sharing pursuits with our fellow men. Most precious of all, per' haps, has been Windham's constant challenge to us not only to be ever wary of unquestioning satisfaction with the pres' ent state of being, but also to be ever alert and ever eager to push beyond present frontiers of thought and action in an effort to promote the progress of worthy human achieve' ment . Let us, then, Class of 1936, be grateful for the nurture and care our youth has received within the walls of Wind' ham. As the years roll on, let us, like this tree, send down deeper, sturdier roots, and grow more verdant, more abunf dant branches. Let us, like it, stretch for the stars. Class Day Exercises The Circus Is Here! Into a packed and gaily decorated auditorium comes the band QSid Beller and his menj blaring loudly and riotously. They march up the center aisle and onto the stage which is set as a circus tent with fluttering pennants and balloons. They are dressed in white with red sashes around their waists. Here comes the parade! Ah! The giant QKucharskiQ is followed by the midget QC. Deshaiesj. What a sight! The giant is in tightfiitting pants, while the midget flounders around in a pair of loose trousers. Dorothy Schenck, the class brains- who is that behind her?-the wise old owl QLarivierej. He certainly does right to follow her! Why the break? But see the reason-here come two clowns QDobrolikfDamianij carrying a signfboard on which is printed Headfaches. What can it mean? Oh, a parade of the subjectfhorribles! Whipfcracking! Can it be the animabtrainer? No! It is Mrs. Mahoney QLorraine MoCarrickj urging slaves on! How brutal- for they are dragging English charts. QSlaves: Agnes Depathy, Lennie Fairbanks, Elsie Haddadj This surely is a unique parade! Here come Miss Marchall QThelma Despathyj and Miss Girouard QDolores Cloutierj with Maurice Chevalier QDick Wolmerj What can this be? George Washington QFrancis Stone, and Cleopatra QPhyllis Roodj with Mr. Hunt QMurray Grossj and Mr. Callaghan QRalph Crosthwaite, red wig and allj And here is Mrs. Maxwell QB. Hugelmanj with a bug! Q!Paul Trowf bridgej. Everyone is surely here today. Oh look! Miss MacDonald QMarjorie Thompson, escorting some of her Ro' man friends: QWestcott Rice, Everard Moseley, Marion Pickett, Ruth Perryj Not to be outdone by the other spectacles, the inevitable triangle follows carried by mul' tipleffigured geometry QAlice McGuirej with Mr. Ebner Qjack Card, and Mr. Hewitt QMulford Haskell, in tow. It sounds like a war coming down the aisle now, but it turns out to be Miss Barker QAudrey Larnedj and Miss Bogan QEvelyn Johnstonej followed by part of their equipment, a pot and pan girl QHelen Ladaj and the walking pattern QRose Simmonsj All stenographers now run and hide for here comes an unpleasant reminder of days gone by-a huge stenogs' notebook QE. Mosnyj chained to a large, wellfsharp' ened pencil QE. Hnizdoj escorted by none other than Mr. King himself QE. Contosj i5'9l After this amazing sight we hear a cackling as Francis Hutchins, accompanied by Mr. Ryan QHarold Hartleyj comes down to the circus tent carrying a box filled with protesting chickens. Here are the clowns U. Pickett, P. D'Arcy, S. Scheimmanj too. Oh, boy what a parade! They are circling the stage now amid the applause of the audience fspectatorsj seated in bleachers on either side of the stage. What a crowd! 'Whole families simply oozing icefcream cones, popfcorn, soda, cracker' jack, etc. Amid whoops of joy the parade circles the tentfstage and passes down the side aisles. QSpectators-Catherine Am-brose, Sophie Aryndarczik, Annette Blain, Bertha Brettschneider, Rose Brettschneider, Charlotte Campert, Lois Clarke, Mary Coughi, Betty Drobney, Nancy Edwards, Louise Evans, Josephine Kuzdal, Alice Gauthier, Violette Gauthier, Blanche Becker, Olga Pillau, Joyce Smith, Ruth Good' win, Margarita Hierwarter, Ellen Hills, Sylvia Shilberg, Anna Hopko, Katherine Hunt, Geneve Lazur, Mildred Nystrom, Edith Rogers, Ruth Boynton and Eileen Hekeleyj Now that the parade had gone its way, the crowd is eagerly awaiting the start of the regular -circus performance. Ah, here comes the ringmaster, fRalph Dane, dressed in gay circus habit, red coat, patentfboots, high hat and all. What a man! Dane: Ladies and Gentlemen! This afternoon we have the privilege of enter' taining you with the most unusual, the most stupendous, the most revolutionized circus ever presented under one canvas, The Windham High School FourfYear Cir' cus. Where else on earth can you get such exciting adventure, such variety as you can here within these canvas walls? Privileged among mortals, you are about to wit' ness these four glorious years of experiments, failure, recuperation, and success in retrospect and years of trial and renown in the future as well. Ah, here comes Mildred Doubleday with Christabel, the only trained mule in captivity possessing positively undeniably human talent. Perhaps some of Christabel's characteristics will remind you of some of the performers you have met in your own fourfyear term at W. H. S. I now turn you over to Mildred who will put Chris through her paces for you. fMule-Joyce Sharpe and Phyllis Siswick, Clown-Mildred Doubleday., Dane: frubbing handsj Wonderful! Wonderful! Christabel. We'll have more trained! animals for you later. Now how would you like to take a glance into the future ,of some of our star performers? Where else have you ever attended a circus which could portray future as well as present, and at no extra cost? I tell you this circus beats anything anyone has ever seen. Hark, I think I hear some future vaga' bonds approaching. Yes, I can see them now-looks like gypsies, future trailerfoc- cupants perhaps. But quiet, here they come. Music, as if from a distance, is heard. It grows louder and onto the stage comes I60l a band of strolling gypsies dressed in gay, brightlyfcolored costumes. Some of them Uean Congdon, Marjorie Wallen, Margaret Willoughby, build a campfire while the violinists, QA. Shashok, P. Bachand, H. Jahnes, Richard Foote, begin to play When A Gypsy Makes His Violin Cry. The gypsy queen QRita Martini, comes forward to the fire and sings the chorus. The other gypsies QEleanor Leiss, Evelyn Rood, Matilda Urbanik, Antonia Dobush, Roy Owens, john Mangano, Angelo Zagara and Martin Reynolds, inspired by the music, begin to dance. The violins quicken the tempo to a tango. The queen beckons them to be on their way and the dancers fade into the background while she sings Play to Me, Gypsy. The queen goes off in one direction while the band, humming, goes in the other. Dane: Ah! how enchanting, but now we present the most important part of high school life-the little heartfthrobs and romances that make school an endurablc place! QBoy and girl love scene. In pantomime and song., The boy fEarle McSweeney, is sitting on a log looking lonesome and forlorn fOrchestra plays Sitting On a Log ,. A pretty girl fPearl Ashton, walks by and McSweeney sits up and takes notice. He sings I Don't Know Your Name. The Orchestra plays Would You Like To Take a Walk?

QOrchestra plays Top Hat as they go out., Next scene is a park, fa tree and bench, chimes strike twelve olfstage. The boy and girl enter and sit on the bench. Earle sings his proposal song Would You. She nods Yes. Together they sing When We Build Our Little Home. They go across the stage to the clergyman's door. The clergyman, in robe and slippers, QStanley Josefowicz, pantof mimes a wedding scene. They walk off the stage hand in hand as the orchestra plays Us On a Bus. Dane: frising, Well, well, well, what class either large or small, would be com' plete without its share of moonlight and roses? Oh my !-We now come to another startling and amazing animal act. It is my honor to present Elmer Jones, the only living Chimpanzee to spend his entire life with people! Presenting Elmer jones. fRichard Wolmer enters dressed as a chimpanzee and does an act of his own., lf61fl Dane: But this ain't all, folks. Look at Engie and his real, live, onlyfonefoffits- kind, homeftrained feline. QContos puts his cat Qrealj through a number of tricksj Dane: Ladies and gentlemen, I now offer you something that has never been of' fered to any circus audience before-the only original starfgazing act. We are sponf soring tonight an allfstar radio show of ten years from now featuring that tremenf dously popular master of ceremonies Fred Allenski. fHenry Kucharski, Thomas Ash' ton, Lorraine Farrell, john Mangano put on an imitation Town Hall Tonight act.j Dame: But is this illustrious class limited to ,radio stars? No sir! It will have a Cornell to outfCornell Katherine and a Howard beyond all Leslies. Friends, you are about to be treated to a preliminary performance of the great stage stars of 1946: james Backus Howard and Kathleen Grimley Cornell. Clap 'em up, folks! Games Backus and Kathleen Grimley present a short dramatic sketchj Colored footlights are flashed on a group of small girls in ballet costumes led by Sally Foss. They go through a ballet dance routine while the orchestra plays Glowfworm. fDancers: Bernice Altman, Vivian Ackley, Dorothy Barrasso, Shirley Burleson, Mary Lucas, Jeanie Chappell, Esther Pillau, Grace Cross, Bessie Cushman, Dorothy Denault, Bertha Eaton, Rosalie Gude, Alice LeClaire, Therese Marrotte, Marion Nason, Germaine Rondeau, Alice Roy, Grace Snyder, Blanche Trahan, Char' lotte Wallen, Shirley Ashley, Lucy Dipollina, Sophie Tabor., t Dane: Hold on to your seats, folks-this is only the beginning! Now we have something really novel to offer you diversion-gladiators. A real Roman gladiatorial drill in its full regal splendor with the Vestal Vir-gins, slaves, gladiators, emperor, empress, and all4and who else could better portray the shades of the noble Roman heroes immortalized by the Latin 'Club than our own classfathletes-the Tarzans of tomorrow-but wait, see for yourself. Ten vestal virgins fHarriet Atwood, Isabelle Atwood, Pearl Emmons, Dorothy Hamilton, Dorothy Kandolin, Mildred Osterhoudt, Madelyn Avery, Lorena Lom' bardo, Genevieve McShea and Helen Serwanskij enter and take seats in front of the arena. Fanfares fplayed by Russell Reynolds '39 and Arthur Eagan '37 dressed in Roman tunicsj announce the entrance of the Emperor and Empress. The Emperor fWalter Chapellj and the Empress fRuth Weeksj are bedecked in luxurious robes and sparkling jewels. Following them are two Negro slaves Uohn Adamcik and Edmund Sorotaj carrying huge fans. Fanfares now announce the arrival of the gladiators. fClass athletes assemble in the middle and go through a drill consisting of much clashing of swords, posing, etc., Gladiators: Charles Anderson, Hector Bergeron, Donald Lewis, Julius Linkkila, Frank Melo, John Roy, Richard Porter and Alvord Dole. l62l Dane comes out on the stage. As he reaches the middle, a tremendous crash sounds without and the siren of an ambulance is heard. Dane: Excuse me-I think there has been an accident. Class of 1936 fFlorence Wheelerj is carried in on a stretcher and is laid across two chairs. She is followed by three nurses fHelen Meikle, Mary Ford, Pauline Gagerj Mary Ford: Guess I'll take its pulse. H. Meikle: What'll you do with it when you get it? Mary aims a pillow at her but misses. Outside are heard the click of numerous typewriters and the voices of newsboys shouting Extra! Extra! Class of 1936 critically injured in fall while climbing 'green hills supernall' The doctor Q. B. Oliver, jr., bustles in. He busies himself making a super- ficial examination of the patient. He finally announces with much hemming and hawing, The only, ah, hope, is, ah, an immediate operation, but, ah, I don't dare to move the, ah, patient. Three more nurses flrene Kalisiak, Sylvia Kelman, Mildred Kosj enter, carrying a large can marked Final Exams to be administered as an anesthetic. The doctor carefully dons his work gloves, calls -for his tools which are brought in a tool chest. When it is opened, hammers, saws, chisel, etc., appear with which the patient is op' erated on. The doctor utters a sigh finally, and announces the fatal word- Dead The lights go out and four stiifs fMary Kruglinsky, Louise Farrah, Madelyn Lillie, Ethel Andrychowskij enter from the rear followed by the spotlight. They start a spooky Stiff dance to slow, stately music and do a flashlight routine. At intervals newsboys enter to shout the contents of the will left by the class of '36. 1. L. Kudlach: The class of 1936 leaves Mr. Smith a badge and handcuifs so that he can do a good job when on duty at noon. 2. Everette Ladd: The class of 1936 leaves to Mr. Hunt and Smith join-tly a book How to Propose written especially for bachelor teachers. 3.

George Holmes: To Mr. Ryan we leave a rattle to amuse his family so that he can get some sleep. 6. Rodman Longley: The senior class bequeaths to the junior boys a number of nearfdrowning episodes so that Miss Melcher and Miss Courtney may demonstrate their lifefsaving technique. lf63l 7. Evelyn Chowanec: To Miss Bunker the class leaves a dozen of rubberized teacups so that they won't break when she tosses them around. 8. To the four MacKcnziefWeathernfBunker cats we leave some fourfpart mu- sic to practice every Thursday night at 12:00. 9.

To Louis Meyehardt we leave a box of empty bottles to take the place of all those that we have broken. Dane comes on stage wiping his eyes with a large handkerchief. He has a black band on his arm. Dane: Ch! how sad but we cannot send you away in such a mood. We offer you at no added cost-not a wild west show, not the original man on the flying trapeze but the original Windham High HillfBillies-yes, real genuine hillfbillies. Come on, boys!

Then John Olson, accompanying himself on the guitar, sings a hill-billy reel. After a square dance, the hillfbillies go off, humming and strumming. Dane: Hold your seats, folks! There is still more. We have held until the last that grand and glorious group who have been a secret for four years! We are going to reveal to you, for the first time, the Celebrities of the Class! After they have uncovered their identities to you, they will march down the aisle that you may better appreciate their merits. Join yourselves to them, folks, and follow their lead out the door. But tell all your friends about the wonderful, magnificent, colossal performance you have seen this afternoon and tell them not to miss the repeat per' i64l formance tonight. Thank ye, folks, for your kind attention. I now give you a unique surprise: The Famous of '36. V Parade of the Who's Who!

Alma Mater fair! We raise to thee Our song of praise, of love, of loyalty, You smoothed our rugged path, showed us right and truth Guided the timorous footsteps of our youth. Quickly the years have gone, swiftly the days, 'Til we have reached the parting of our ways, Life's long road beckons us from thy sheltering walls, We must in sorrow part, the future calls. Strengthened by love and faith, we will be true Always in thought, in word, in deed to you. Ever your memory in our hearts will lie, Sealing our bond of love for Windluam High.

PU N -4 :1 2 Q. in U PU D, Z D' DLL 'ID V'IcI E-IH A Windham High School Orchestra Under the able leadership of Mr. Helmold, the orchestra has become an active organization. The music this year has been more difficult than that of previous years, and any student wishing to join the orchestra was obliged to undergo a musicgtest. Consequently, the orchestra was com' posed of only the finest musicians in the student body. A free Sunday matinee concert given by the orchestra in the audi- torium vvas met with popular acclaim by a capacity audience.

The team lost six games and won but one, that one being the final game of the season, against Stafford High. Four of the defeats were by lone touchdowns, scored late in the game. The local eleven failed to win a conference game again this yearg but the spirit of the team during the season was outstanding. With but six lettermen returning from the previous year's squad, Coach Callaghan was faced with a tremendous task of developing a win' ning eleven. Ineligibility of certain varsity players handicapped him. With no assistants to help him, Coach Callaghan deserves a great deal of credit for developing the team that he did. Other schools in the state, even those much smaller than our own, have three and four capable men coaching the squad and we know if Mr. Callaghan had been aided by asf sistants, a winning team would have been developed. The seniors on the team, who performed during the season, were: Captain John Roy, jr., Frank Melo, Ralph Crosthwaite, Raymond Terry, john Larkham, Paul Bachand, Martin Reynolds, Robert Mustard, and Alf vord Dole. The team was ably managed by CofManagers Angelo Zagara and james Backus. William Tracy, a backfield man, was chosen to lead the 1936 eleven.

The team won six games and lost nine. Four of the nine losses were by either one or two points. With but three lettermen, Melo, Crosthwaite, and Mustard, returning from the '34 squad, Coach Callaghan faced a hard task in developing a formidable five. Windham scored one of the scholastic upsets of the season by defeat' ing Chapman Tech, on their home court, the 'Y' gym. The Blue and Crimson has been the only team in the past few years that has been able to beat Tech on its home court. The locals finished third in the conference race. The team played two Yale Tournament entries, in Manchester and Commercial High of New Haven, a newcomer on our schedule. In a game with the latter, a local record was set for the time played, the game going into four overtime periods before Commercial was able to eke out a two point victory. The New Haven boys reached the semiffinals of the Yale T ournament. Another Tournament team was on our schedule in Chap' man Tech, who were nosed out in the semiffinals of the 'B' Tournament in Middletown. The Blue and Crimson junior Varsity established the best record in recent years by winning ten out of twelve games. Ralph Crosthwaite, Frank Melo, Robert Mustard, and Martin Rey' nolds were the Seniors who played during the season. Crosthwaite and Melo held down the forward berths, while Mustard was the pivot man. Reynolds was the hero of several thrilling jayvee games. BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Date Team Place WHS Opp. December 18-Rockville ...................... Here December 21-Manchester ....

Roy, Melo, Lariviere, and Card. The team this season has already registered the first Windham victory in baseball scored at Mer' cer Field in New London, the Blue and Crimson being unable to score a victory there until the present season.
