On this beautiful sunny day, they had an appointment at the New York World ' s Fair. As the bus rolled steadily toward the southwest, all the familiar landmarks were soon lost and the new ones continued to bring awed and delighted remarks from the group until the famous Perisphere and Trylon were seen towering in the distance and everyone realized that the Fair was now near at hand. It was an excited and hurried group that made their entrance to the fairgrounds. Having gained this ground we stood in wonder gazing at the spectacle before us. Lofty towers, bizarre-shaped structures—in fact, buildings of all sizes and shapes greeted our bewildered eyes. Furthermore, it was Tulip Week and most of the millions of tulips sent to the Fair by Holland were arranged artistically around trees, fountains, or statues, their bright colors presenting a breath-taking beauty. Everywhere there were people. Lanes and roads were thronged with all varieties of humanity. And the variance in the colors of their clothes was in tune with the color schemes of the Fair. As we became acquainted with the grounds, we noticed the striking simplicity of the arrangement and architecture of the buildings. The Theme Center of the Fair is a splendid example of this. The Trylon, which stands approximately 700 feet high, is constructed on the simple lines of a pyramid and the only suggestion of decoration about the Perisphere is a round pool of sky-blue water directly beneath it. From this pool there arise four sparkling glass jets upon which the Perisphere lightly rests. The use of color is another feature of the Fair. Blues, greens, reds, yellows are all blended together to make the fairgrounds a garden of color. Our first exploration took us down the Road of Wheels, where the progress of the automobile industry was vividly portrayed in the exhibits of such companies as Chrysler, Ford, General Motors, Crosley, and others. During the course of the afternoon we proceeded down Constitutional Mall and visited the foreign platforms near the Court of Peace. The Italian building was among the most beautiful in structure with magnificent water falls flowing continuously from the feet of the statute of Roma at the top of the building down to a pool at the bottom. The glittering gold Tower of Poland was also impressive. Indeed, every foreign exhibit was unique and worthy of visitors ' time. The most valuable building on the grounds, I think, was the House of Jewels in which over four million dollars ' worth cf diamonds, emeralds, pearls, sapphires, and silverware were attractively displayed in well guarded showcases. As the theme of this building, there was a jeweled picture of the history of the diamond starting from its discovery and showing it ascension to man and the world. The inside of the Perisphere revealed new delights. It pictures a day and a night in a future metropolis called Democracity.’’ The lower half of the ball was a section 19 18 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD of the earth upon which there lay a complete city. The upper half of the ball was a cloud-filled sky. As night was represented, the sky was a midnight blue sprinkled with myriad stars and Democracity lay in a mysterious darkness. But as day unfolded, the stars faded and a rocf of blue sky and white clouds took their place above a sunny, happy city. And in here as in every section of the Fair, musical selections filled the air. In the evening we hurried to the famed AQUACADE, where at 8:30 we were to see the Billy Rose show featuring Johnny Weissmuller and Eleanor Holm. There we saw the world’s best divers in action. We heard Morton Downey sing, saw the stars perform their aquatic feats, were thrilled by the gayety and glamour of the costumes and performances of the graceful Aquabelles and the Aquabeaux. For a while after the entertainment at the AQUACADE, we watched the booming and flashing fireworks. The Fair was entirely transformed by night. Each building sparkled and glistened with light. The sky was striped with the numerous flashes and beams thrown across it. Then as the dismal hour of eleven arrived, we reluctantly turned our backs upon the marvels of the New York World’s Fair and made our way to the dull unromantic parking lots and the bus. Sleepy and tired, we settled back in our seats as comfortably as we could and fell to dreaming of the tall spires, the Perispheres, the Trylons, and all the modernistic characteristics of the ’’World of Tomorrow.’’ Lillian Snow, ’ 39 . WANTED: GOOD MANNERS Our manners and customs play an important part in our lives. Standing for more than our qualities, they represent our habitual deportment. Nothing marks the well-bred person quite as much as his manners; he can easily be distinguished from others by his sociable and courteous ways. In other words, manners not only react upon the character of a person but they are based upon the idea of consideration for others. As the settled medium of social life, in contrast to the coin in commercial life, they avoid needless fric¬ tion in social gatherings. In this respect they make friends for us. By them we are taught to be agreeable, appear well pleased with all company, and seem well entertained with them. The following quotation by Edmund Burke verifies this idea of good manners to quite an extent. Manners are of more importance than laws. Upon them, in a great measure, the laws depend. The law can touch us here and there, now and then. Manners are what vex or soothe, corrupt or purify, exalt or debase, barbarize or refine, by a constant, steady, uniform, insensible operation, like that of the air we breathe in. They give their whole form and color to our lives. According to their quality, they aid morals, they supply them, or they totally destroy them.

No doubt you have heard of the famous and romantic Charter Oak which was a landmark in the city of Hartford for many years and which held in its bosom secrets known to but one man. It is at the time when we are well into the eighteenth century that our story takes its course. Now in this village (as Hartford was then a very small place) along the beautiful Connecticut, and on that very same street where the splendid oak stood lined against the azure sky in its autumnal beauty, lived an old woman who for many years had inhabited a small dwelling, sadly neglected and dilapidated. A very eccentric person she was, too; for she would be away on mysterious trips for days, and then as mysteri¬ ously return. She was the last descendent of the family whose noted ancestor had carried away the famous charter, which had never been heard of since. It was whispered by those personages who were blest with long tongues and those who were continually concerned with other’s affairs that a family prophecy once stated that a female offspring of the family should one day find out the whereabouts of this precious document through an apparition of the man who carried it off. For more than a century now each female member had hoped for this honor, but as the line of descendents dwindled, the people began to think little of the old myth. It so happened that old Matilda (as was her name) had been having queer dreams of late, and the townspeople felt that she was the person chosen to deliver the document of rights. One dull night in e arly autumn, as the mists of twilight overspread the earth about, a dark cloud was seen rising slowly above the horizon. What was about to happen? One of the worst storms, the peaceful people of this village, in the green Connecticut valley, had ever witnessed, arose. During the storm which wrecked the home of the unfortunate old woman, the majestic oak was struck by lightning. The townspeople claim that this particular evening was selected for the delivery of the charter; for the next morning, when all was bright and clear again, the charter was found on the old lady’s table. But the most peculiar thing about this situation was, that old Matilda was nowhere to be seen. Many rumors were heard here and there about the mysterious return of the charter and the odd dis¬ appearance of the old woman. Finally, when the people gathered that evening on the village green to discuss the recent events, they decided that the most logical reason for this happening was that in return for the charter, the apparition had carried away the queer, old woman. So to this day, when we now find Hartford grown to a great metropolis of the modern world, the memory of this valuable old document still is cherished and the whereabouts of the old woman is still a mystery.

Bruno Seaha Vice-President .Ramon McCue Secretary .Margaret Rabbett Treasurer Irene Dagi k Thirty-three Seniors enrolled in the Senior class in September, but later Raymond Antonacci, a Junior who had earned Senior rating, joined the Seniors, and thus the number increased to thirty-four. Shortly after the beginning of the fall term, a class meeting was held and the officers were elected. On October 7, at a class meeting, it was decided that we would sell Christmas cards. It was the first financial venture of the class. A sandwich sale was also held during the year, and a good profit resulted. On November 2, and on February 21, the Seniors held two socials. They proved unique and enjoyable, and also served the purpose of allowing the Freshmen to become better acquainted with the upper-classmen. On April 21, William McKenna, Edwin Malec, George Harvey, and Sigmund Bednarz were elected to the Athletic Council. This year the Seniors presented an operetta, Rose of the Danube,” on April 12, at the Rialto Theatre. Many of the members displayed excellent dramatic and musical ability. The chorus was composed, in addition to the Seniors, of members from the three under classes. It was very well received and a very good financial return realized. We wish to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to all members of the faculty, all pupils in the school, and all patrons, for helping to make this operetta such a great success. On April 21, the Senior Class voted to go to the New York World s Fair, instead of holding their traditional banquet and reception. This trip proved very educational and enjoyable to all. At the same meeting, we voted that caps and gowns would be worn at our Commencement exercises on June 15 .

Before the first semester was brought to a close this number decreased to 43 , as two students left, and a new one entered. During the school year, the Sophomore Class has presented two assembly programs; one on Armistice Day by the Sophomore girls under the supervision of Miss Burke, and the other by the boys under the supervision of Miss Dowd and Miss Holbrook. Both of these performances proved very entertaining. Alice Lombardi, 41 . FRESHMAN CLASS NOTES President --John Pyznar At the beginning of the school year, seventy-five pupils enrolled. During the term, nine pupils left school. At present there are thirty-two girls and thirty-four boys, making a total of sixty-six pupils. 23 22 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Three programs were presented during the year by the class. The first was the Christmas program under the supervision of Mr. Jackson; the second was an Easter program directed by Mr. Parmelee; and the last was a program in honor of Memorial Day, given with the help of Mrs. Creed. Mrs. Allen had supervision of musical numbers in all three programs. The class elected as its representative to the Athletic Council, Thomas Silk. They also elected as class reporter for the Journal, Rose Carnevale. Rose Carnevale, ’ 42 . — SCHOOL NEWS — On September 7 , 1938, 190 pupils enrolled in the Windsor Locks High School for another busy year of school work. This year the High School continued its policy of printing topics of interest to pupils and parents in a section of the Windsor Locks Journal donated to the School for that purpose, every month. Another continuation of last year is the Commercial Club, composed of members of the Senior and Junior Classes taking Commercial subjects. Officers of that club were Lillian Snow, president; Angelina Ferrari, secretary-treasurer; and the Misses Loeser and Casinghino as Faculty advisers. The club distinguished itself this year by publishing a school paper entitled The School Crier, containing numerous interesting departments. Besides the Commercial Club, during this year two new clubs came into existence. They were the Latin Club and the Scribblers’ Club. The membership of the Latin Club is limited to those pupils who have taken two or more years of Latin. The Club met with noteworthy success under Miss Burke’s guidance, and among its many activities held an enjoyable Card Party on the evening of February 10. The officers of the club for this year were: Ellen Root, president; Marion Harvey, secretary; Julia Taravella, treasurer. The newly-elected officers who assume their responsibilities next year are Betty McCloskey, president; Jeanne Sheridan, secretary; Mary Buckley, treasurer. The membership of the Scribblers’ Club is confined to Seniors. It is more of a recreational organization formed by the students under Miss Smith to correspond with pupils in different parts of the World. During the course of the year, letters have been received from Great Britain, Union of South Africa, Canada, South America, Egypt, Holland, Hawaii, and a host of other countries, each proving to be unique in interest and subject matter. Officers of this club were: Margaret Rabbett, president; Mildred Wallace, vice-president; Irene Daglio, secretary; Lillian Snow, treasurer. Reviewing the calendar of Social Activities we find one quite limited in number but each event meeting with pronounced success. The Seniors presented their first Social in the traditional manner in Memorial Hall on the evening of November 4 . It met with such overwhelming success that they had little rest until another was presented at the same hall, February 21. Alumni will probably note the absence of the Reception and Banquet from the list of Senior activities. These were reluctantly relinquished by the class to enable them to 24 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 23 take a trip to the World s Fair in New York, on May 20. The absence of these tradi¬ tional activities from the Senior calendar does not imply that they have been given up permanently. This year, as in the past, the school has had the opportunity of being addressed at assembly by a number of speakers. Among those who have spoken this year are the following: Mr. Vincent (November 29 ) ; Mr. Sweet (nature lecturer, January 9 ) ; Mr. A. Mozier (March 13 ). Besides these speakers at assembly, a number of gentlemen have addressed the individual classes. On January 30 , Dr. Thompson from Springfield College addressed the Senior Class. Mr. Bochman of the Hartford Y. M. C. A. spoke to the chemistry class on ‘Alcohol and Its Harmful Effects.” Mr. Hammond spoke to the boys at assembly on the Diesel Engine and its possibilities, and Mr. Harcourt spoke to the physics class on polarized light. Thus the school has enjoyed the opportunity of listening to many speakers as well as presenting programs from which some good can be derived for all. for this reason we consider the term of 1938-1939 as one of the most successful in the history of the school.

Ours, too, will be the responsibilities of improving our country as it has been the duty of other generations that gave preceded us. We love America. We love the ideals for which the United States of America stands, and because of our love, we want to see our country improved. We want to see her faults overcome. We want to see troubles with foreign powers, that might prove disastrous to our beloved country, avoided. There are several practices within our country which menace the happiness and prosperity of our nation. There are a host of thieves, robbers, racketeers, smugglers, and all kinds of criminals who present a threatening force against our happy land. There are, too, more clever criminals who keep within the government laws but who break every law of human decency and morale. They are everywhere. Thus, it will be our duty as American citizens to protect our country against this evil body. Troubles within our borders must be overcome; troubles between nations must be avoided. Furthermore, we must try to avoid foreign strife and struggle. Thus, these are only a few of the responsibilities that we shall find ours as we take leave of our classmates and enter the new and dignified role as co-workers and citizens of this great nation. The privilege of serving our country in this capacity is ours. It is going to be a serious, difficult task; nevertheless, it will be a great trust. By serving our country well, we are serving ourselves; for we shall benefit from our efforts perhaps more than anyone else. When our forefathers founded the first settlement at Plymouth they bequeathed to us a set of high ideals such as the love of liberty, economy, industry, honesty, faith, and fair-play; and these qualities have made our land, a land of the free, the brave, and a land respected by every other nation in the world, and we must continue to keep this regard. Hence, it is our duty as American citizens to keep the inspiration of the ideals of those who founded them and those who sustained them. How fortunate we are to live in a country where every ideal leads to a happy, wholesome democracy rather than in a country where the one ideal is to make that land the greatest military power in the world. American ideals are those which will bring happiness to everyone. Freedom in government and in personal affairs is the basic principle of American democracy and it must be duly respected if America is to continue forever to be a land of liberty. Therefore, let us ever be inspired by these American ideals and pledge ourselves to do our best in fulfilling the high hopes of our fathers. Lillian Snow, ’ 39 . 26 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 25 I CHOOSE AMERICA FOR ITS PEOPLE The disposition of the people of America are largely responsible for the place we hold in the world today. The spirit of cooperation exists on a much larger scale in America than in any other country in the world. In schools, colleges, factories, there is more harmony and understanding between workers and their associates than in other parts of the world. Cooperation enables us to face problems with more courage than if we were compelled to meet them alone. It helps us as a nation to plan for the future welfare and prosperity of this nation. Americans are noted for their tolerance. In the early days of this count ry, tolerance of creed, of races of government saved us from many serious and disastrous situations, just as it has in recent years. The ability to endure unpleasant incidents until circum¬ stances can permit a satisfactory ending has confirmed our position as a peaceful and tolerant nation. The people of America are unhesitantly democratic. Our leader is chosen by vote of the people according to the dictates of our conscience and under command of no one. He is not chosen because he is a military genius, but because the citizens feel that he has the intellect and ability to fill the position of chief executive. We regard our leader as a man, not as some super-being whom we fear intensely. Finally, as a nation, we are a peace-loving race. Our students are not put through the grilling routine of military drill, unless they chose this as their career. We are not constantly preparing for war by fitting gas masks, parading our army so that the people may see the strength of our country; or explaining to the people the advantage of bomb-proof shelters. We are continually talking of peace, singing of peace. Our novels, our poems emphasize peace. Remember that it was We the people” who ' did ordain and establish the founda¬ tion of the United States of America. Let us then, strive to strengthen this foundation so thoughtfully brought forth by our founding fathers. Margaret Rabbett, ’39. I CHOOSE AMERICA FOR ITS FOUNDATION PRINCIPLES America has long been called the land of the free, and our country rightfully deserves this name because the word America” is synonymous with freedom. The constitution of the United States has given to the people of this nation its foundation principles which signify freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, and petition. First of all, let us consider religion. Whether we are Catholics, Protestants, Jews, or Gentiles, we have been granted the privilege of professing our own beliefs as we see fit. We can appreciate this privilege to a greater extent when we compare the conditions existing in Germany today, with those in our own country. Adolph Hitler will not allow the people of Germany to practice their religion. He has treated the Jews with scorn, and he is driving them unmercifully out of Germany. We can say without any exaggeration that freedom of religion makes for a better and more peaceful nation. We are indeed fortunate to live in a land where there is freedom of speech and of the press. Germany and Italy do not have a constitution guaranteeing freedom of the 27 26 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD press. They tell the paper what to print and what to leave unsaid. We are free, how¬ ever, to offer our own opinions. No law has ever been passed abridging our right of freedom of speech or of the press. As one recent writer has stated, If we allow the press to be fretted, we fretter ourselves.” In a paper, the truth is what is expedient. It is not a good policy lor us to make public utterances that are liable to cause damage, but, as the quotation reads, It is better a thousandfold abuses of free speech than denial of free speech. Without free speech, no search for truth is possible; no discovery of truth is useful; progress is checked and nations no longer march forward toward the nobler life which the future holds for man.” According to the Amendments of the Constitution, Article 1, reads Congress shall make no law restricting the people to assemble peacefully and to make petitions to the government to appease their grievances. Various writers have stated that, Some people clamor loudly for freedom of assembly whose only concern is to use that freedom to undermine the foundations upon which it rests. Their aim is to bring about either social, economic, or political despotism. We shall be more American if we but remain true to the principles in which we have been bred.” As students of today we are under the supervision of those who have profited by these foundation principles, but as the citizens of tomorrow, we shall be the leaders of this great nation, and as leaders, it will be our duty and obligation to uphold these foundation principles. With these principles in mind, the Senior Class this year has chosen as its motto, Today we follow, tomorrow we lead.” Mildred Wallace, ’ 39 . VALEDICTORY 1 CHOOSE AMERICA FOR ITS OPPORTUNITY Woodrow Wilson once said, America stands for opportunity, America stands for a free field and no favor, America stands for a government responsive to the interests of all.” True, indeed, are these words. America has proved a haven for many people seeking freedom from religious, social, and political oppression, because it has been able to grant them these factors, so vital to their happiness and success. One of America ' s chief characteristics is the opportunity she extends to her citizens to make the most of their talent and industry irrespective of birth, creed, or condition. If a person has the ability and stamina that makes for success, he is not hampered from acquiring this success because of nationality or social condition. If this were not true, how could Abraham Lincoln, who was bom and brought up in extreme poverty, have become one of our most illustrious presidents. This may also be said of Booker T. Washington, the great Negro educator who became so famous and well-known for his work. We may look down through the pages of history and find many more who have risen to fame even though they were humbly born and poorly educated. When we speak of opportunity, we cannot help but think of education. The American people have always been very zealous in promoting the cause of education. They know that unless we have a sound educational system, we cannot hope to progress. 28 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 27 Therefore America offers her citizens liberal educational opportunities. Every day millions of children receive free public education in our American schools. Here they are allowed to study and prepare for their vocational interests. America has indeed been generous in granting her people such numerous oppor¬ tunities, and she may well be called, the land of opportunity.” CLASSMATES: As the citizens of tomorrow, let us do our part to make this land continue to be the land of opportunity.” Also, let us take this time to express our sincere appreciaion to our teachers, parents, and friends, for all they have done to help us during our four years in high school and let us make good use of the education they have helped us acquire. Irkni- Daglio, 39. CLASS SONG Tune: The Masquerade Is Over Our high school days now have reached an end, And the happy hours that we used to spend I’m afraid our high school days are over, And so is joy, and so is joy. The years won t be what they used to be, We were once so gay and all so free I’m afraid our high school days are over. And so is joy, and so is joy. We want to thank each friend and teacher Who helped us cn cur happy way, And made cur cares so much lighter Many a day. And now we go, but cur hearts remain, With cur high school days while we seek our fame, We ' re afraid cur high school days are over. And all is done, and all is done. 29 28 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Irene Daglio.

When suddenly, like heavenly gold Myriad sunbeams spilled And all sad thoughts I quickly sold And my own happiness I willed. Marjorie McCann, 39. RAIN Drops of cool, pearl-like rain Tapped against the window-pane. The steady, gentle downpour Increased the sound more and more, Until the dark and dreary night Thundered and roared with all its might, But soon the night was still again With beads left on the window-pane. Margaret Rabbett, 39. HAPPINESS Happiness is something which cannot be bought. To many it is something to be sought. Some think happiness is only wealth, But others find happiness to be good health. Many think happiness is gaining fame, And adding more glory to one’s name. But if we help others with heavy tasks, We may all find the happiness for which we ask. Bernice Meade, ’40. 32 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 31 “ATHLETICS” BASEBALL NEWS Although this town is lacking a gymnasium and decent equipment for baseball, the baseball team came through with a successful year.
