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.
