The Varsity team had an enviable record of fifteen wins and six losses during the regular season’s play. In the state class C” tournament the team advanced to the quarter finals where it was beaten by the narrowest of margins. The team represented Windsor Locks High in the conference and finished a credit¬ able second in the final standings. Three of our boys were in the top ten of the in¬ dividual scoring department. They are John Flanders, Ed Wezowicz, and Ted Malec. One of the highlights of the season was when the team was defeated by a mere two points in the final minutes of play by Ellsworth High, the state champions. Much of the credit for this year’s team is due to Mr. Ernest E. Weeks, who made his debut at Windsor Locks an auspicious one. The Junior Varsity, also, had a laudable record of fourteen wins and seven losses. Those participating on the Varsity squad are as follows: Seniors: Arthur Africano, Robert Ferrara, Ted Malec, Ed Wezowicz and John Flanders (Captain). Juniors: Dick Fisher, Bruce Hendsey, Kenneth Kraiza, Philip Oates and Patsy Ruggerio. Sophomores: Bill Whitten. Freshmen: Ellsworth Case and Peter Tenerowicz.

Mr. Davis, the company representative, organized two teams as an incentive for more sales. Art Africano was chosen as captain of the Dogs and Janet Warner was chosen captain of the Cats ”. Ruth Quagliaroli, the highest salesman received a wrist watch for her splendid work. The Cats, the losing team, had to put on a party for the winning team and the Juniors.

The Seniors chose rose and silver for their class colors. Loring studio was engaged this year to take class pictures. On April 9, the Senior Class put on Come Rain or Shine ”, a three act comedy.
