There are many who look with fear to the future, who foresee only how far down the road of destruction we can go. But, if we have thought this, let us remember our past. We have struggled, but we have survived. Our forefathers at the time of the Revolution held no hope for the future, but from that time, has not America proved herself a great nation. ' If we fight for the great principles of our ancestors, if we keep bef ore us the ideals for which we are fighting, we shall succeed as we have in the past. The future takes strength from the past, the future will be what we make of it, the future is ours to mold and make great. Let us not fear what the close of this war may bring, let us only believe in our power to succeed and keep our hope in America. Eufrasina Colo, ’44. HOME DEFENSE The people of this country have seen a great change in their work programs and also in their social life since our country declared war on the Axis powers. That Sunday morning of December 7, 1941, when Pearl Harbor was bombed by the Japanese, opened the eyes of the American people. Soon after, defense plants adopted a twenty-four hour day and a seven day week program. Many factories and shops that were not on defense wor k quickly converted their industry to war work even though some of them had to install new machinery to meet the requirements of the government. The women and girls also are doing many jobs that used to be done by men who have since been inducted into the armed forces. Of course this is a good thing because it keeps defense industries going. Furthermore, civilians all over the country in the last two years have done a splendid job in organizing the civilian defense groups. Many of the groups that have been started are as follows: the airplane spotters, the air raid wardens, the auxiliary policemen, and the auxiliary firemen. These people are not being paid for their services, but they understand that if the people are prepared, it will be easier to go through air raids. Of course there are those people who just say it will never happen here and will not have anything to do with the defense groups. Some people even laugh and make fun of the ones who are doing their best to help out on the home front. However, let us pray and hope that enemy planes w ' ill never be soaring over head, but I personally think that the only way to make the people cooperate is to have a sample of wdiat the people are going through in the war-stricken countries on other continents. The rationing problem seems to be perplexing. In this country there would be hardly any reason for rationing if the people would only use their heads. People have brought rationing upon themselves by going out and buying more goods than they have immediate use for. Then, too, there are the dealers who take advantage of the fact that the rich people will pay a considerable price for commodities that o CN Page THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 19 have a tendency to get scarce. Thus the reason for rationing and setting of ceiling prices on various articles is to make sure that everybody gets the necessary com¬ modities for decent living. The problem of farm help is also serious. Many women are willing to go to the factories to work, but they do not like the idea of going out and doing farm work. This country has to produce more food this year than ever before. Conse¬ quently I think that the draft boards had better watch out and consider the men who are essential to farm work, or there will be no experienced young farmers left to work the land. The best thing and the only thing for the people on the home front is to cooperate with the government. We must remember that many of our young men who are close and dear to us have gone off, and left their good jobs and social life to fight and preserve our rights at home. Thus it is our duty to guard the home front. There is an old saying that goes like this, If we do not hang together, we will all hang separately, and it certainly applies to the situation today. Therefore let us all get together now and buy all the war stamps and bonds that we possibly can and back the war in this way. Theodore Pyznar ' 44. SPECTATOR — 1944 Last week, I was sitting in a car on the Main Street of our town waiting for my companion. I watched the people going by — people I have known all my life; but they assumed different forms and shapes in my imagination. It put me in mind of the Spectator Papers, which we were reading in school, and I found that some of the well-known characters were living right in our town. As I recalled some of these characters, Tom Touchy passed by. His shoulders drooped and he glared at the whole world suspiciously. His mouth was an inverted U, down at the corners. I had a mental picture of him, arguing with his neighbor about where his property ended and where his neighbor’s began. Following Tom Touchy was John Matthews, described in A Sunday At Sir Roger s. Instead of kicking the church pews to amuse himself, he was writing on every building he passed. He reminded me of the old saying, Fool’s names and fool’s faces, Are always found in public places. A group of five diverted my attention from John Matthews by their general air of confusion. The high school crowd — the modern version of the picts and dandies of Queen Anne’s period — taking life as it comes, their chief problem being, What excuse can I give Miss Browning this time for not doing my algebra? I’ll bet those books carried so carelessly on their hips weren’t opened for home¬ work, either. Sir Roger walked along behind these high-schoolers shaking his head at them. His clothes were neat, but about two years behind the times. His silver head was bare, and he had the air of someone used to being listened to. He was a little nettled at the youngsters because they disregarded him entirely. I was startled by my companion who had just returned, and without thinking, I said, Sir Roger just walked by.” Then realizing what I had said, I laughingly explained my queer statement to my friend, whose look of confusion vanished into one of amusement, and to this day I am teased with, ”How ' is Sir Roger Today? Jacqueline Cousineau, ’45. CN Page 20 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD SHORT STORIES THE FINAL REWARD The sergeant paced back and forth before the six men. Every few steps he would pause to praise some man in the line. They were his men, and they had come all the way from the United States here to Guadalcanal with him. It had been rather tough at first to convince them that following directions was absolutely necessary no matter what they thought should be done. They had taken streaks of pig-headedness, but then so had the sergeant. Now was the time to give them their reward for passing the final test. Shanton, you did a great job with that Jap sniper. It would have been too bad for Colonel Whipe if you hadn’t seen him.’’ Raymonds, Edwards, and Popolis — you three’ll get medals for getting rid of that machine gun nest. Rachowski, you and Friedman saved my life. I’ll never forget that. Here the sergeant stopped to wipe a tear from his eye — no it was not a tear just a cinder. Men, today you proved that you are marines. The jobs you six did today will probably not be told to the world, but I’ll always remember. I want to say that I am proud of you. Then he turned to a corporal standing a short distance away and said, Okay, Corporal, you can bury them now. Geraldine Cagnulari, ’45. A CLOSE SHAVE Private Joe Scalio wrung out the towel he had just placed in ho t water. It was his custom always to have hot water for an officer’s shave. As he placed the towel over the man in the chair, his victim squirmed. Joe whistled and watched his buddies as they mopped their brows and swung at flies on this hot Italian day, but all the time they were surveying his rude barber shop with keen interest. Joe mixed the lather and said to his customer, Hot, ain’t it. General? His customer grunted. But it was hotter in the hills, Joe said. The General spluttered lather, and wiped his mouth with the sheet covering him. Then Joe adjusted the bib tightly ■— perhaps a little too tight. Yes sir, said Joe, I’ve shaved majors and colonels many times but never a general before. I’ll have to write home about this. Colonel Benson, my highest customer, always is in a hurry. He always brings his officers and talks strategies. The general grunted and showed he was unimpressed. While Joe rubbed the lather on his face, he said, In fact. I’ve learned a lot about strategy. Especially up in the hills yesterday-.’’ The General protested, but Joe grabbed his razor and started shaving. Accidentally the razor struck at his throat. Relax, General, he said. His buddies burst in about this time and said, How long is it going to take? So it was a mistake, Joe shouted. Now if I slipped and cut you, one man would be dead — and a general at that. But when a general makes a mistake, many CN CN Page THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 21 men are killed.” The General twitched nervously. Joe said, ' Ju st one mistake. I went up to the hills yesterday and saw my Uncle Luigi shot through the head in his best bed. He was one of your mistakes.” His family was too poor to burn a candle for him. You put a field gun in his house, and when he argued, your men shot him.”. The General moaned. Joe smiled and showed his teeth. It was a terrible smile. Joe continued as the razor whizzed over the throat, Just one mistake. If I slipped, you ' d be dead.” At that moment his buddy called, Come on, Scalio, Colonel Benson wants this Nazi for cjuestioning. Get him out fast. That ' s orders.” (). K.,” said Joe, but you’ll have to carry him out, boys — he’s fainted.” Louis Preli, ’45.

Laura Oliver received honorable mention and attended a luncheon at the Hartford Club where she was presented her award along with the other winners in the county.

On February 21, the Seniors sponsored three one-act comedies, Elmer,” A Question of Figures,” and a musical comedy ’’Memories of a Young Draftee.” The comedies proved to be entertaining as well as a financial success. The Seniors had their pictures taken by the Brown Studio in April. On May 2, the Senior Class left for New York for a three-day tour. They visited many places of interest and the trip was enjoyed by all the members. The Senior Class of 1944 have had an active and successful year.

The success of the basketball season this year was partly due to the Sophomore boys on the first and second teams; Carmel Guido, Donald Dowd, Dominick Guido, Joseph Marinone, Robert Wezowicz, George Clee and Robert Barnaby. The Sophomores were well represented in football by Robert Wezowicz, Alfred Jenkins and Donald Dowd. The baseball squad includes Robert Wezowicz, Donald Dowd, Joseph Marinone from the Sophomore Class. Mary Mokrycki, ’46.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES SCHOOL NL-WS 1 ' he enrollment of the High School for this year totaled 173; Freshmen 59, Sophomores 41, Juniors 38, Seniors 35. There were three new members of the faculty at the beginning of the school term—Miss Mary Pratt, Miss Helene Carroll, and Mr. William Waldron. During the course of the year Miss Pratt was unable to continue teaching because of illness and her position was filled by Miss Margaret McGinn of Windsor Locks who has proved to be a favorite among the pupils. Mr. Waldron was inducted in the armed forces after a short stay at the High School and his position as physical instructor was tilled by Mr. Alexander Shapiro of Holyoke, Massachusetts. A Press Club was formed at the beginning of the semester for the purpose of publishing a school newspaper. Representative reporters were selected from each class. They have decided that the name of the paper should be changed from the ' School Crier” to the ' Wilohi.” This title was coined by Eufrasina Colo, who took the first two letters of the words Windsor Locks High School and combined them. The first social of the season was given by the Senior Class in honor of the Freshmen. The Athletic Association held a social and all those students holding A. A. tickets were invited to attend. The Latin and Press Clubs sponsored a St. Patrick’s Day social. It proved to be a great success and all who attended enjoyed themselves. The Scribblers’ Club sponsored a social for the School on April 14. Dancing, from 7:30 to 10:30, was the main attraction of the evening. The Prize Essay Contest was held on Thursday, November 4, in the High School Auditorium. The speakers included Robert Asselin, Gloria Bruni, Eufrasina Colo, Laura Oliveira, Kathleen Secor, Justine Sedar and Rosemarie Taravella. The first prize was awarded to Eufrasina Colo; second prize, Robert Asselin; and honorable mention, Kathleen Secor. The Senior Class, with groups of the various other classes participating, pre¬ sented a Christmas Pageant which vividly portrayed the famous Biblical story of the three Wisemen and the Christ Child. During the year other programs given by the different classes made the assemblies this year particularly interesting. Mr. James Cannon was guest speaker at an Armistice Day program. Also Dr. Fulton from the State Department of Health gave an interesting talk on Dental Hygiene. VO CM Page THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 25 Three one-act plays given by the Senior Class on February 21, were — ' Elmer, A Question of Figures, and Memories of a Young Draftee. A large number were present and the plays were said to be a great success. The proceeds from the play went towards the class trip. A Testimonial Dinner was held in honor of the High School Basketball Squad. It was largely attended by the people of Windsor Locks. The main speaker of the evening was Coach Hal Jesse, Assistant Professor of Physical Education at Trinity College. Other speakers of the evening were First Selectman Henry O’Leary, Super¬ intendent of Schools Leander Jackson, Attorney Frank E. Healy, John F. Fitzpatrick, Chairman of the Board of Education, and Coach Alexander Shapiro. The speeches were enjoyed by all. An Oratorical Contest on the Constitution was sponsored by the American Legion. The winners of the contest were — first prize, Eufrasina Colo; second prize, Francis Smith; and third prize, Evelyn Paganelli. Miss Colo also competed in the regional contest. This year due to the war it has been impossible for the school to obtain speakers for different occasions; also we have lost a great many of our boys to the armed forces. Other than this, the activities of the School have gone along quite the same. Teresa Ma ;leora, ’44. ATHLETICS The building up of our mind and our body is the purpose of athletics. A person has to think and act quickly when he partakes in any sport whether it be football or ping-pong. The body should always be kept in good condition, for a person out of condition becomes sick easily. When your body is tired and run down, the mind cannot function efficiently; this same form of physical exercise is necessary for good health. In Windsor Locks High School, our three major sports — baseball, football, and basketball— sailed through each season with many victories. Through the never- tiring efforts of A1 Shapiro each team showed great improvement over the teams of past seasons. FOOTBALL In football the squad won two out of three of its games. Through teamwork and great precision it showed a tremendous improvement over last year’s inex¬ perienced squad. The players were as follows: Seniors—Robert Asselin, Robert Dowd, Albert Holmes, Saul Goldfarb. Juniors— Joseph Fitzpatrick, Captain Charles Wezowicz, Glenn Flanders, Francis Smith, John Durnin, Raymond Colli, George Colli, Francis Mobiglia. Sophomores — Alfred Jenkins, Raymond Casinghino, Donald Dowd, Robert Wezowicz. Freshmen — Donald Griffin, Raymond Beltrandi.

Graduation Night Program SALUTATORY AMERICA, OUR FUTURE ’ Ladies and Gentlemen, friends, teachers, and fellow students: we wish to take this opportunity to express to you our sincere appreciation for all that you have done for us during the past four years and to prove to you by our acts in the future that your efforts have not been in vain. We, the class of 1944, are about to take our places in the world, a world, which unlike our sister continents across the sea, is tree from old traditions, senti¬ ments, and monarchial ideas. We are a young nation, a pioneer nation, and a nation of strength and courage. We may go forward unhampered to our future, a future which is so dear to us Americans, not only because it will mean the freedom of the whole world from tyranny, hatred, and oppression, but because of the great changes we shall undergo in our mode of living. The future America holds in store for us many changes in the educational field. New subjects will be added to our curriculums and new methods of teaching will be employed. Some subjects will even be self-taught by radio and television. Furthermore, we know that man will no longer use the present day facilities of travel, for experts say that by the year 1955 there will be helicopters in over 50 per cent of all the homes in America. Also railroads, airlines, and steamship companies are planning today for the future when the traveler may journey in greater comfort, greater luxury, and greater speed than ever before. There will very likely be a possible boom for production. New factories will be built and new places of employment found for the boys who gave their all” so that we might have a future. The manufacture of synthetics, plastics, etc., will employ many in the fut ure. Because of the sulfa drugs and many other new advances in medicine and science, America will be considered a land of health and happiness. The span of life for the average man will be lengthened. His living habits and even his food will be different. Modern refrigeration will have a big part to play in changing man’s diet. This is just a glimpse into ’ tomorrow”, but it is enough to show what Victory will mean to us. Victory for the forces of righteousness and of progress; protection for the small nation and the small man, for women and children. Thus the future of America means LIBERTY AND FREEDOM for all. Kathleen Secor, ’44. CM Page 28 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD AMERICA, OUR HOME ’ America is a spacious place with the sky for her roof and the good earth for her base. She has many rooms which we call states and in each one her millions of occupants find their favorite dwelling spots just as you and I. We may be laborers toiling eternally in the factories of the East, or farmers raising the golden grain of the Middle West, or cattle-men roaming the Western ranges; but we all have one home, and that is America. The present war has enlightened our minds and instilled our hearts with a deeper love for our homes and our America. If this be true among us on the home front, what of the boys and girls on the war fronts. They, too, must feel this deep affection, perhaps even more greatly than we, — for they remember as they fight in some far off jungle, sandy beach-head, or barren slope, the old home, the school, the church, the every-day chores and the friendliness typical of American villages. In memory they look back a few ' years, which seem like centuries, and think of a Sunday afternoon drive to the beach, a baseball game, a dance. Things that once were of so little importance and now mean so much; they think of these things as home — as America, as something worth fighting for — yes, worth dying for. The Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor has loomed up against the horizon since 1884 and has been seen by thousands. Each person, however, has been im¬ pressed by the emotions this gigantic figure arouses. It may have been the strength, the liberty, or the freedom it symbolizes - but, to most, it means something far greater. Before this war the tourist coming back from gay Paris or picturesque Venice felt it. But today and in the years after this war the boys steaming into New York Harbor will feel it. What is this feeling? It is the feeling of home — of America. Katherine Lee Bates in her famous lyric, ' America the Beautiful expressed in a touching way what most of us feel. O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed His grace on thee, And crown they good with brotherhood And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea. Oh beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife, Who more than self their country loved And mercy more than life! America! America! May God thy gold refine, Till all success be nobleness, And every gain divine! Mary Louise Gallerani, ’44. o CO Page THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 29 AMERICA, OUR HERITAGE” America though still a young nation can look back some three hundred years to a heritage that it can well be proud of. Seldom, if at all, do we stop to realize how fortunate we are to live in a country such as ours, a country where men have fought and died to keep the flame of independence always burning brightly. Our goal has always been the same as that of our forefathers. They fought to gain independence, and to this day we are still fighting to preserve it, for freedom is our greatest inheritance. Americans have always had the initiative to go ahead and have been able to endure trials and hardships all along the way to lame and fortune. The Pilgrims searching religious and political freedom came to America and established themselves here with that principle as their goal. Later, by the Revolutionary War we became a free and independent nation. Then, as a result of the Civil War, we became an undivided nation brought together through suffering and hardship into unity. Today we are fighting to keep our nation true to the ideals of its founders — a country where all men are created equal and have the same rights and privileges regardless of race, color, or creed. Thus we should be proud of the spirit that has been planted in us from earliest times. History looks back upon the men of past ages. To be sure, we can be proud of names such as Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln. These men and many like them have carried us through the storm into the peace and security of the harbor. Furthermore, we should be proud that we live in a democracy such as no other country can boast. Nations all over the world have looked to America as a symbol of freedom and security. Americans through the years have progressed greatly because they have had The will to do, and the soul to dare.” Let it not be said that we have failed to carry on the cause for which so many have given their lives. Rosemarie Taravella, ’ 44 . VALEDICTORY ’ AMERICA, OUR CHALLENGE” As for me give me liberty, or give me death.” The immortal words of Patrick Henry rang out the first great challenge to American liberty and independence. Through tears and heartache, through work and prayer, from a lonely, little band of people seeking freedom had come a nation which was willing to fight for its independence. They heard the cry of freedom, they answered it, and the greatest democracy of all time was established. That these dead shall not have died in vain,” said Abraham Lincoln at the Gettysburg Cemetery when he dedicated it to the heroes who had lost their lives there. With him our ancestors pledged America to remain united, that the land which had so nobly progressed would not become a place of hostility and hatred. We had fought for freedom lor America, we had fought to preserve the unity of America, we had accomplished a great feat and established something which was strong and indestructible. We fight to make the world safe for democracy,” spoke Woodrow’ Wilson, and once again America answered the call. Wc fought so that other nations might have the opportunity to establish a government based on the equality of men. Once again, as has always been true, right triumphed over might. CO Page THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Today finds us once more accepting the challenge and we are now engaged in a conflict for supremacy or absolute defeat. From 1776 down through the ages, men have fought and died so that this nation might live. America remembers her dead at Flanders Field and she will keep faith with those who died, for she vows that this time she is fighting a war to end all wars. When victory comes, it will be for the youth of the nation to carry on the principles for which we are now fighting. It is a challenge we cannot fail, for if we do, then indeed America is lost. Classmates, we too, have a part in the great world of tomorrow and may we meet each problem with wisdom and clarity. Classmates, as I say farewell I wish for each one of you the protection of Almighty God and may He bestow on you during life the happiness you so well deserve. Eufrasina Colo, ’44.
