The High School Herald 1942 Jun e Commencement number THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 3 DEDICATI O N This year the Herald Board and the Seniors are dedicating the year book to the alumni and former students of Windsor Locks High School, who are now in some branch of the service of the United States. Our best wishes and our prayers go with them in whatever part of the world they may be stationed. We tried to get as complete a list as possible and if any names have been omitted, it is purely accidental.

No more is this world progressing along normal lines, but every American is striving to strengthen this country in the war against the Axis. There is so much to be done, and high school graduates can certainly do their part. They can work in defense plants making airplanes, tanks, bombs and other weapons of destruction. The boys can join the army, navy, marines, or any branch of the service when they are old enough. Girls can do their part on the home front keeping up morale and in general helping in every way they can. Thus, today, t here are plenty of opportunities if one just has the determination to find them. Angela Gragnolati, ' 42 ON SEEING THE PLAY “MACBETH” After seeing the play Macbeth this winter at Bushnell Memorial, 1 was impressed by the main character, Maurice Evans. His speech was excellent and his actions were so impressive that I felt that Macbeth himself were before me. On the whole I enjoyed the play and agree that it was a fine pro¬ duction. Each actor, from Maurice Evans down to the page, did his part well. My interest was held throughout the play. The scenes w r ere effec¬ tively enacted, and the lighting etfects and colors added a great deal to the success of the play. Each character, I feel, was well chosen. For example, Lady Mac¬ beth, w T ho is Judith Anderson in real life, w r as exceptionally good. Her acting changed according to situations very satisfactorily. I could not begin to give each actor the credit that he deserves. 1 can only say that I w r as not disappointed in the least with anyone and I am glad that I did not miss the opportunity to see the stage production of “Macbeth.” Let us hope that high school pupils in the future may have the opportunity to see other great dramas enacted by famous actors. Bernice Glista, ' 42. THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 21 OUR NEW YORK TRIP On F i iday, Ma 8, thirty-three Seniors left for New York on their class trip which was to last three days. Everyone w as in a jubilant mood, since they had been looking forward to this trip for a long time and could hardly wait to start. We crammed a great deal into those three days. To mention a few ol the things, we saw Grand Central Station, Grant’s Tomb, Cathedral of St. John the Divine, the Normandie, LaGuardia Airport, Statue of Liberty, RCA Building, Radio City Music Hail, a broadcast at CBS Radio Theatre, a tour of the NBC broadcasting and television studios, Chinatown, and some of the stores in New York. Everyone enjoyed those three days immensely, but when the train pulled into g(X)d old Windsor Locks, there w ' as a rush to meet family and triends who had come down to the station to welcome home the weary yet happy travelers.

Angela Gragnolati was chosen as press reporter. ,,, Practically every two weeks since last October the Seniors have held cup-cake sales. Then also in November we sold subscriptions for the Curtis Publishing Company. Several socials were given during the fall and winter which proved not only enjoyable but financially successful as well. 1 On February 17, the Seniors held their annual class play. It was a three-act comedy entitled “Growing Pains” which was w ' ell received by the puulic and ably presented by the cast. The profits from this play helped also to add a sizable sum to the class treasury. In April, the class raised considerable money from a food sale which was w ' ell supported by the townspeople. fVl ? n May ?’ , the class , went 10 New York for a three-day trip.

The class of 1943 have obtained their class rings and are well pleased with them. The rings are black onyx with a gold background. The class colors are red, white and blue, and in these colors the hall for the Junior Prom was most attractively decorated. The Junior Class held its first prom in the high school auditorium Friday evening, May 22, and danced to the music of Wendell Bradway’s orchestra. The event was enjoyed by all who attended. Some of the Juniors, under the direction of Miss McDermott, ga e a very fine assembly program about Thanksgiving, and the rest of the Juniors, under the supervision of Miss Casinghino, will present the last assembly on the morning of June 12.

Freshman Class Notes At the beginning of the year there were sixty-eight pupils enrolled in the Freshman Class. Since then nine have dropped out, leaving fifty-nine. The Freshman Class put on a Memorial Day Program directed by Miss Burke. George Wallace, ’45. THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 2.1 School News On September 8, 1941, Windsor Locks High School resumed classes for the scholastic year with an enrollment of 186 students, or 41 Seniors, 38 Juniors, 47 Sophomores and 60 Freshmen. There have been several changes in the faculty, this year. Miss Rosemary Lceser of the Commercial Department resigned during the summer to accept a secretarial position with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her place was fihed by Miss Florence McDermott, a grad¬ uate of Boston University. Furthermore, two new courses were added this year: Home Economics under Miss Ruth Hanan, a graduate of the College ot Our Lady of Elms, and Physical Education under the supervision of Mr. Raymond Magwire a graduate of Springfield College. Then during Jan- uaiy, Mr. Robert Jackson, who had enlisted in the army, had to report for dutj at (. amp Eustis, Virginia. Thus his place has been filled by Miss Josephine Preli, a graduate of Mount Holyoke College. In order that the pupils may become more interested in school activities, it has been customary to organize clubs. Two new clubs have been added to those already organized. They are the Home Economics Club and the Hi-Y Club. The former is composed of ail pupils who take a course in Home Economics. The outstanding functions of this club were Harvest Social, a Mother and Daughter Tea, and a dinner which was given for the Board of Education. All met with pronounced success. Officers for the past year were: Barbara Oates, president; Kathleen Holmes, vice- president; Marian DaMonte, secretary; Mary Falls, treasurer. This club is under the direction cf Miss Ruth Hanan. The Hi-Y C lub is composed of High School boys. Their activities take in swimming and basketball at the Y. M. C. A. in Hartford. They also enjoy seeing motion pictures and hearing lectures at their regular meetings. The officers are Kenneth Colli, president; Charles Gibson, sec¬ retary and Edmund Silk, treasurer. Besides these two clubs, we have The Commercial Club, The Scrib¬ blers’ Club, and the Latin Club. All are carrying on projects similar to those of former years. Any Junior or Senior who receives 90 or above in any two Com¬ mercial subjects for the first two marking periods may join the Commer¬ cial Ciub. The main activity of this club is its publication of “The School Crier” under the supervision cf the Misses Casinghino and McDermott. The officers for this year were Mabel Snow, president; Marian Lord, secre¬ tary and Ann Rabbett, treasurer. 24 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD The privilege of joining the Scribblers Club is granted only to the Seniors. The members of this club correspond with students in different parts of the world. Unfortunately, due to present - day conditions, corres¬ pondence has, for the most part, been confined to sections of the United States, Hawaii, and Canada. Mary Jane Queen was elected president; Clement Furey, vice-president; Bernice Giista, secretary; and Angela Gragnolati, treasurer. This club is under the guidance of Miss Lucille Smith. Membership to the Latin Club is restricted to students who have taken two or more years of Latin. One of the many successful activities was a dinner which was given for the Aiumni members of the club. The club officers were Virginia Firtion, president; Ann Durnin, secretary; and John Connolly, treasurer. This club is under the direction of Miss Frances Burke. Social activities got under way with the first senior social on Sep¬ tember 26, which was the Seniors’ way of welcoming the Freshmen. Dances of this sort have been given throughout the year. The Junior prom was held on May 22. The auditorium was effectively decorated for this occasion. On February 17, the Senior Class presented its annual play, “Grow¬ ing Pains,” a comedy of adolescence in three acts, which met with the approval of all who attended it. On May 8, the Senior Class left for New York on their class trip. Due to the enjoyable time in New York, May 10, the day of return, came too soon. As has been the custom in previous years, the High School has sub¬ mitted many interesting topics which have made their appearance each month in The Windsor Locks Journal. At some of the weekly assembly programs during the year, it ha.- been our good fortune to be addressed by many speakers, some of whom were Mr. Harold S. DeGroat of Springfield College; Mr. Lincoln Lippincctt of the Lumberman’s Mutual Casualty Insurance Company, Chicago, Ill.; Mr. Richardson a senior of the American International College of Springfield; Dr. Jesse Davis, the Dean of the Educational Department oi Boston Uni¬ versity; Mr. Hamrick, the Dean of Hillyer Junior College; Dr. Hagan from the University of Connecticut; and Mr. Bookman from West Hartford. Therefore, this is just a brief summary of the ' school activities for the past year. Each undertaking has been ' successful and we have been able to increase our activities, due to the facilities which the new school building offers. Bernice Giista, ’42. THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 25 Athletics As we glance back at our sport events, we feel satisfied with our achievements ' this year. Although we are not too well satisfied with our losses or victories, we are glad that once again Windsor Locks High is par¬ ticipating in other sports besides baseball. At the beginning of this semester cur athletic director, Mr. Ray¬ mond Magwire, started us off in soccer. The team played four games and and in every one of them showed up well. Out of these four games we lost two, tied one and won one. Next came basketball. Realizing that this was our first season in this sport and also taking inito consideration the teams we played, we diti a fair job at it. Out of our whole schedule we won only one game. This game, however, was against Williston Junior Varsity for the benefit of the Naismith Memorial fund. Thus we played in two golden jubilee games: the one with Williston and the one with Simsbury. A close game with Suffield High, which they won by a near margin of 29 to 27, is still re¬ membered by many. With Bob Quinlivan reelected as captain and with only one regular player graduating, we can look forward to a successful season for next year. Now we are in the midst of our baseball season. This season is not as successful as it has been in the past because most of the veteran players graduated last year. Our losses have overrun our wins at the present, but we all have hopes cf winning the Northern Connecticut trophy again this year. The team, this year, under Coach Magwire’s supervision, consists of the following—Seniors: Tom Silk, Charles Mandirola, Stanley Matec, Lawrence Matroni and John Pyznar; Juniors, Robert Quinlivan, Robert Ginocchio, Daniel Price; Sophomores, Howard Krauss, Robert Dowd and Albert Holmes; Freshmen, Glenn Flanders, Charles Wezowicz, Joseph Fitzpatrick, Francis Smith, Videon McCoy. Manager, Kenneth Griswold; Assistant Managers, Jack McCloskey, Nando Garbarino and Jack Durum.

We extend our thanks to the Members of the Board of Education and the townspeople for giving us the opportunity to graduate from this tine build¬ ing, and we express our sincerest thanks to our teachers and parents, and hope that we may be a credit to their labor and sacrifice. Although Commencement is usually a joyous season, all young people this year realize the seriousness of the times. Our country is at war, fighting for those principles which we Ameri¬ cans cherish so much. Because we do beiieve in them and cherish this form of life, we are willing to sacrifice more and more in order to subdue the enemies of that way of life. Things are happening so fast that we hardly have time to finish one venture before we start another. Victories and defeats abroad, the sinking of ships on our coasts, the upward trend of taxes on income, rationing, and wages—all affect our lives. We must not, however, let these happenings discourage us or blind us to the true values. Instead we must let them be secondary, and think first of preserving those fine old traditions handed down to us by our forefathers. Earlier Americans did their part in the fight for independence, the fight for the freedom of the seas, the war between the North and the South, the Mexican and Spanish Wars, and the first World War. Why? because the American people were determined they would fight tiil victory. They put their shoulders behind the wheels of labor and warfare until they were victorious. Now in this war, are we going to be the first Americans to fail? No. We will do as our forefathers have done. We will smash the powers of aggression and persecution and keep that star span¬ gled banner forever waving as a sign of peace and freedom for all who look upon it. Francis MarcelJini, ’42. “OUR AIM: SUCCESS—OUR HOPE: TO WIN ' ’ It is a well-known fact that the majority of high school graduating classes choose class mottos. This class is no exception. But I believe that the motto, “Our Aim: Success—Our Hope: to Win,” is particularly fitting this year, not only for our class, but lor the United States at large. Therefore, let us, for a few minutes, ponder over the meaning of these words. THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD “Our Aim: Success.” Everyone setting out on a career wants to be successful. While in school we took up subjects that would help us attain om goal, and now that we are setting cut to take our places in the world, we realize that to be a real success we must shoulder the responsibilities with which we are faced and uphold the ideals of America. The second part of the motto—“Our Hope: to Win” is a very com¬ mon phrase in the world today. But because it is common, we should not —take it too lightly; for unless we, as individuals, learn to conquer the relatively smaller things that endanger our immediate lives—things such as waste, complacency, strikes, crime and dishonesty—we can never hope to gain victory in the most horrible field of all—that of war. Therefore, as we the students of the graduating class of Windsor Locks High School go out into the world, we should try always to live up to our motto, and remember the words of Abraham Lincoln: “In your hands, my young fellow students and citizens, lies the fu¬ ture of our country. If the coming generation is a little more faithful to the ideals of honesty, of order, and of freedom, than the present genera¬ tion has been, then we shall be going forward. If the coming generation is a little less faithful to these ideals, then we shall be headed down the road to degeneracy, defeat, decay.” Mary Jane Queen, ’42. WHAT CAN YOU DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY? In view of present day conditions, we must stress the quality of unity today more than ever before. We, as a whole, must w r ork together and cooperate with each other to the best of our ability. No one can justly say, “This is not my affair, I can do nothing to help.” For even while at¬ tending school you can do your part, for in schools all over the United States we have a system by w ' hich Savings Bonds and Stamps may be purchased. The money you students contribute by buying these Stamps helps to build perhaps a ship, an airplane, or a tank. Doesn’t that make you proud? You, the women of America, are an important factor in our aim to win. Join the Red Cross and other worthy organizations, for strong support behind the lines is equally as important. Yes, you men, are the greatest factors in our aim to win, for you are being asked to sacrifice perhaps your lives to discourage a system of government which is contrary to the way of life and our ideals. Thus, each of you should realize that you can do something for your country. Fulfill your obligations by making sacrifices. Buy a Bond, knit a sweater, give a life if necessary, but keep fighting for a worthy cause. Bernice Glista, ’42. 28 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD PROVING OIJR PATRIOTISM In time of war, all people are more conscious of the feeling of patriotism, but during peace time this feeling is likely to slumber unheeded in the human breast; nevertheless, ail citizens who truly love their country rise to sublime heights in time of leal emergency—and in such an emer¬ gency are we at the present. What is patriotism? One writer explains it as follows: “Patriotism is the mental condition of national permanence.” Another says it in these words: “If any one attempts to haul down the American flag, shoot him on the spot.” The average American man, however, is shewing it by leaving a highly paid civilian job to become a private in the army at forty-two dol¬ lars a month. But most of us are showing it by working many more than eight hours a day in war factories and taking up our part in civilian defense quickly and without asking questions. Yes, I think the American people are doing a fine job—working, sacrificing, building up the morale for victory, because we believe in the United States of America as a nation uniting all people, a country pie¬ serving freedom of speech, press and religion, as a true democracy, of the people, by the people and for the people. We cherish our essential American traditions such as the school- house and the church as the cornerstone of our civic growth. And so it is that w e pledge ourselves to our American responsibility of perpetrating these principles, thereby making democracy w r ork both during war and peace. John Pyznar, ’42 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 29 CO-VALEDICTORY THE CHALLENGE Today, young people graduating from high school are met by a challenge—a challenge to their initiative, determination, and ingenuity— a challenge which asks will they be able to succeed in a world so tom by war and so upset by present world conditions that normal living is out of the question? Can they really become somebody at a time when everyone is being swallowed up by rigid routine and organization—where an indi¬ vidual is only one in many? Or can they still maintain that old American spirit of independence and say with the poet: “Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods there be For my unconquerable soul. It matters not how straight the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.” These questions are being asked everywhere, and I believe the young people of today have the courage to face these new conditions without flinching and to rise above them. It may be difficult but they will still persevere and be ready w ' hen the time comes to help this country in her struggle for victory. After this war America is still going to need everyone’s help to rebuild all that which the war has destroyed. Not only the material things must be reconstructed but also the spiritual needs of the people will have to be adjusted to meet the demands of a country at peace. Industries converted into defense w’ork will once again manufacture automobiles, radios, refrigerators, and other luxuries instead of tanks, airplanes, and weapons of destruction. Our army will be decreased in number, also. Thus the young men and women of t°dav will have this heavy burden of rehabilitation placed on their shoulders and they must be strong enough to carry their share without complaint and without faltering. Hence the test of the strength and character of today’s youth will be shown by the way we meet these responsibilities. And now r , fellow ' classmates, we are leaving high school. We are going out into the world, some to college or to other higher institutions of learning but most of us to jobs in the business w ' crld. We should be pre¬ pared to do everything we can to help America maintain the torch of liberty so dear to all, and may all the success in the w r orld follow in the wake of your efforts. Angela Gragnolati, ’42. 30 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD THIS IS OUR AMERICA “God in His might chose thee to be The country of the noble free!” In your mind, what does “America” signify ? To me, America means a vast continent, bounded by the world’s two great oceans, and filled ' with valuable natural resources. It means a great country, supported in a laige part by gigantic man-made industries. It signifies progress—progress in science, manufactures, and inventions. America also means freedom. Here, one is free to enjoy life as he sees fit. In schools, churches, and assemblies, the people are living exam¬ ples of the freedom which is America. Schools are managed in such a way that pupils derive as much benefit as possible from their training, and are not compelled to learn particular doctrines approved by the government. Education is given to both rich and poor. It is given, not only that one may become better informed, but also that one may become a better citizen. America means democracy. The people are the government. The states are bound together by common beliefs and language—by the con¬ fidence that all men are created equal, letting the majority rule, yet always aided by the minority. America is the history of great men. If one should study the lives of our great Americans, from the settlers at Plymouth and Jamestown, through the careers of Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, Wilson, and the Roosevelts, he would have the history of America up to the present time. America is definitely a vision of life, made great through her great men. What America means today w f as brought about by those who strove, from its foundation, to fulfill their ideals. In the words of William Lloyd Garrison, “Our country is the w ' orld—our countrymen are all mankind.” Finally, America is the people. When we, who are now being grad¬ uated, have been given full rights as citizens, we shall be America. When that time comes, we shall try to meet the challenge as it has been met in the past—with ambition and enthusiasm. Classmates: Now that we are to take our places in a world at w ' ar, let us do our best to prove to the world the value of our education in this democracy, and cheerfully to lend a helping hand in aiding this country which has given us these opportunities. Classmates, my farewell wish for you is that you may always have Divine guidance and protection in all your undertakings. Cecilia Buckley, ’42. 31 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD CLASS SONGS Tune: “Dear Mom” Dear friends, cur journey through school is over at last, Our teachers and schooldays—a thing of the past. We’ve studied and read so now it’s time to depart, How we’ll miss you, dear friends. Dear friends, this song we now sing to bid you goodbye With sobs in our threats and tears in our eyes. We’re now going to leave you and to take up our part, Fare thee well, dear friends. Spencer Bacon, ’42. Tune: “Remember Pearl Harbor” Let’s recall our old school days With our faults so evident; We can never ferget them, Those happy days we spent. From the autumn till springtime We would take our daily course; From the northend and southend, From the west we’d come with force. But our last days are numbered— All our schooldays now are through. We can never forget you, All our friends and teachers, too. To the Freshmen, glad tidings, To the Sophomores, luck to you. To the Juniors, our greetings, And to all the Seniors, too.
