These young men and women are leaving the sheltered streams of childhood to venture on the oceans of adulthood. Until now they have been aided and guided by parents, teachers, and friends, and for this they are grateful, but now they are eager to start charting their own voyage in life. Some will go to college but others will go into business, industry, and other vocations. But all will continue their education through reading and working. Seme will find success in life; others may not be so fortunate, but whatever the cutcome may be, the success or failure depends largely on the per¬ son himself. Yes, this is the year for the Seniors cf Windsor Locks High School. They have new come to the time when they must decide what fields in life they will enter, and careful study of one’s interests and abilities, along with good preparation, will help to insure future success. With these thoughts in mind the Juniors, who still have one year of their high school life left, should profit from this advice and do their best to complete their preparation for their life work. It is important that they choose the right subjects because the preparations made now will have a great deal to do with their whole life. The Sophomores have completed just half their high school life. Although at present they may feel it is a long time to their graduation, the way they spend their high school days and the subjects they choose are important factors in their later life. So they, too, must prepare themselves for their life work. The Freshmen, just beginning high school life, probably feel they have a long time before they need to consider seriously their life occupations. But they can make a better and mere successful life for themselves by the judgment they show in choosing their subjects during the next few years. Thus while the Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen are planning for the day when they must begin earning a living for themselves, this year, 1949, is the year for the Seniors of Windsor Locks High School to prove their worth. Our best wishes and hopes for continued success go with them. Nancy Shaughnkssy ’51 THE GRADUATE There seems to be a difference of opinion as to the definition of the term grad¬ uate”. Webster says a graduate is cne on whom a degree is conferred. To some so- called students, graduation can be summed up in the old saying, ’’No more pencils, no more books,’’ etc. Most people, however, regard graduation as a sign cf maturity, a goal reached, or a passport to a better future. Graduation or commencement is the beginning of these things. Numerous fields are open to the person with the diploma, for he is generally preferred to the person without it. VO Page THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 15 He has learned to put first things first, to do his job and put everything he has into it. He is better equipped to meet emergencies, for the training he has received enables him to think more clearly and act accordingly. Through his associations with his schoolmates and the guidance of his teachers, the student of today can understand and cope with the problems of prejudice, intolerance, and discrimination. It is in the capable hands of such persons as these that the future of our country lies. He that lives up to these ideals is truly an example of the word ’’Graduate”. Victoria O’Leary 50 SCHOOL NEWS The enrollment cf the High School for this year totalled 150; Freshmen, 48; Sophomores, 37; Juniors, 37; Seniors, 27. The faculty for this year remained the same as last year. In early October, how¬ ever, Mr. James Meade, teacher of science and higher mathematics, left to take a posi¬ tion with the Porter School of Machine Design. He was replaced by a Trinity College graduate, Mr. Angelo Antonucci. The press club was again formed at the beginning of the school year with repre¬ sentatives from all classes. Two very interesting issues of the school newspaper were published. The club elected the following officers: Editor, Margaret Grummell; Assist¬ ant Editor, Audrey Marek; Exchange Editor, Anna Glemboski. The Scribblers’ Club, which carries on correspondence with boys nd girls in foreign countries, functioned as usual this year. They elected the following officers: Arden Holden, President; Theresa Hammond, Vice-President; Carmella Sales, Secretary; Sonia Billey, Treasurer. Following a long standing custom a social, given by the seniors in honor of the freshmen, was held early in October. A very pleasant evening was enjoyed by all. Early in the fall, many of the juniors and seniors attended the Margaret Webster production cf the drama Macbeth” at the Bushnell Memorial in Hartford. The Thanksgiving program consisted cf a one act play and songs by the Glee Club. All c ' asses were represented in the cast. Interesting programs were also presented at Christmas and Easter. A shortened ferm of The Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens highlighted the Christmas program. A short radio skit was featured at the Easter assembly. On April 22, the senior class presented their annual class play. This year a light c medy in three acts, ' Sing for Your Supper”, proved to be a great success, financially and socially. At the first meeting of the Latin Club the following officers were installed: Presi¬ dent, Patricia Rielly; Vice-President, Joseph Halloran; Secretary, Dorothy Dowd; Treas¬ urer, Theresa Hammond. Under the direction of Mrs. Anne Krips, the books in the library, supplemented by many new volumes, have been catalogued according to the Dewey Decimal system. The library work is being carried on by girls of the junior and sophomore classes. Shortly after the Christmas vacation, the school purchased a moving picture pro- Page 16 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD jector. It has been used in the science and history classes, and it has also been used in assemblies. This gives us a brief idea of some of the more important assemblies, projects, and undertakings of the school year of 1949. Bruce Hendsey 49 SENIOR CLASS NEWS President __._Bruce Hendsey Vice-President .Philip Oates Secretary .Marion Koehler Treasurer ...Jeanette Quagliaroli In September, 28 members were enrolled in the Senior Class. The Seniors held their annual social in honor of the Freshmen on October 22. It proved a financial and social success. A magazine campaign was conducted by the seniors through the Curtis Publishing Company. Two teams were organized with Marion Koehler as the captain for the blue team and Patricia Rielly, captain of the Red. The Red team came out victorious. The Seniors of 49 brought in more subscriptions than any other class since the begin¬ ning of the campaigns. The losing team, the blue, entertained the winning team and the faculty at a most enjoyable party. Barbara Fitzpatrick, highest salesman, was pre¬ sented with a watch. Loring Studio was engaged this year to take the class pictures. A food sale was held in the Town Clerk’s Office on January 15. Generous con¬ tributions from the people of Windsor Locks made this sale a success. On April 22, the Senior Class put on ’’Sing for Your Supper”, a three act comedy. It was enjoyed by everyone and the play was a financial success. Preparations for Class Night and Graduation are now being made. The Senior Class wishes to thank everyone who helped support their enterprises. Phil Oates ’49 JUNIOR CLASS NEWS President ..Robert Colli Vice-President ....

Page 18 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD In the fall a social was given by the Seniors in honor of the Freshmen. The class was grateful, as it gave them a chance to acquaint themselves with the upper¬ classmen. Different members of the class took part, during the year, in the various assembly programs. The Freshman girls and boys organized teams to take part in the intramural games.

Fifty-seven wide-eyed Freshmen embaiked on the exciting sea called High School Education,” with hope in their hearts for a successful journey. How successful this wonderful journey has been will be seen by the accom¬ plishments of this crew in the years to come. There were many unfamiliar faces and there were many difficult tasks to confront this stalwart crew; yet, this daring group continued on its journey a.ross this strange sea of adventure, High School Education. At their first class meeting, the members on board the good ship Forty-nine” elected Frank Therrian as their Captain; Arthur Russell, First Mate; Dorothy Dowd, Second Mate; Adele Carnevale, Purser. Arthur Russell represented them in t he Athletic Association. The shipmates had their first glimpse of social life cn shipboard at a dance given in their honor sometime in November, 1946. Later, as recorded in the ship’s log, the crew held many socials in the years that followed. At the American Legion Oratorical Contest in 1946, Dorothy Dowd won recog¬ nition for this promising group, by walking off with second prize. In the second year of their voyage, the crew chose Arthur Russell, Captain; Philip Oates, First Mate; Patricia Rielly, Second Mate; Dorothy Dowd, Purser. History repeated itself when Dorothy Dowd again received second place in the Oratorical Contest. Although the second year of the journey seemed a little quiet, this remark¬ able crew was still progressing toward the harbor of success. 20 THE HIGH SCHOO L HERALD In 1948, Joseph Antonacci was elected Captain; Bruce Hendsey, First Mate; Jeanette Quagliaroli, Second Mate; Adele Carnevale, Purser. On the Athletic Council were Mildred Wallace, Patsy Ruggerio, Philip Oates, and Kenneth Kraiza. The “Diplomat” was chosen as the class ring at a meeting in the fall. The month of May brought the eventful Junior Prom—indeed, a great success. By the time the crew had entered the last months of its glorious journey, the senior year, it had decreased in size, but increased in both knowledge and experience. Bruce Hendsey was elected the ship’s Captain; Philip Oates, First Mate; Marian Koehler, Second Mate; Jeanette Quagliaroli, Purser. For the Athletic Council, Margaret Grummell, Frank Hancock, Patsy Ruggerio, and John Preli were selected. Barbara Fitzpatrick proved that the Senior Class had ability in salesmanship by her successful record of sales in the Magazine Drive. The shipmates proudly passed the goal and set a new record for future classes. Again, in January, this successful crew showed its remarkable ability by the success of its food sale in the Town Clenc ' s office. Indeed, they have talent for acting, as the outcome of their play in April readily proved. The play not only brought out many a Bernhardt, but also many promising actors, and perhaps a new radio crooner. Graduation in June brought the mates to the shore where all high school days ended. But as the pages of history close on this grand little class, a new history has begun. The long journey across the sea of High School Education has been accom¬ plished, but on finishing this journey, the crew must now start cut on a newer and more difficult journey—the journey on the sea of life itself. I know, as always, the outcome will be the same—success to the Shipmates of ’49! Jeanette Quagliaroli 49 CM CM Page CO CM Page 22 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Graduation Night Program Theme: ’The World Is Ours” SALUTATORY IF WE HAVE EDUCATION Parents, teachers, members of the Board of Education, friends, and fellow students: It gives us great pleasure to welcome you to our graduation exercises, and we wish to express our deepest appreciation for the interest and cooperation you have given to our activities throughout our school years. We shall do our utmost to make you proud of us. Now that the long-awaited day of graduation has arrived, we face the future secure in the knowledge that we can meet whatever fate may have in store for us. Undoubtedly, our education will play an important part in how successfully we meet rhe future, but just how great a part we are net fully aware of at the present. To discover this, let us first investigate what education is, or more specifically, what makes a man educated? Is it a mile long list of degrees after his name? The hundreds of self-made men in America are ample proof that this is not indispensable. It is uni¬ versally agreed, however, that education consists, to a great extent, of what you read. You are what you read. Of one young woman who read wisely it was said, She is the best educated person I know.” This proves that anyone who really wants an edu¬ cation can obtain it, but is it worth the extra time and trouble? Are the returns of an education ample to repay you for work invested? Let us try to discover the answer. The first return that most people expect from an education is a good job, and they are seldom disappointed. Of course, an education may not automatically swing open the doors of the business world, but it will certainly provide the key by which these doors may be opened more easily. And once a job is secured, study will make advancement much more probable. But let us not become so engrossed in the practical or the financial side of life that we completely neglect the aesthetic. Most jebs are, after all, a means to earn a living, not a life in themselves. Ycur leisure hours will become more enjoyable and profitable through an education and you will lead a richer, fuller, happier life. But, over and above the benefits to be gained frem an education, there is a more urgent reason why every American should try to develop his mind to its fullest extent. And that is because the success of a democracy depends upon the intelligent thinking of its citizens. Since this statement needs no further explanation, let us turn from our duties to cur nation, to cur duties to the world. There is a great movement today towards greater unity among nations, but there can be no unity without knowledge. Intolerence and bigotry thrive on ignorance, so it is our first duty to learn about other nations. It would not be too exaggerated to say that the maintaining of world peace depends upon the education of the people. Thus we see that education is essential to the shaping of our own future, that cf our nation, and that of the world. Dorothy Dowd 49 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 23 IF WE HAVE FRIENDSHIP Cicero once said, Friendship improves happiness and abates misery by the doubling of our joy and the dividing cf cur grief. If we are to mold a happy, stable and successful future we must first cf all show love and good will toward our fellowmen. One of the greatest stepping stones to success and happiness is how we endeavor to get along with every individual. Kindness and consideration can win many friends, yet how few people take the time or energy to think of others. Since the world is so full of grasping, self-seeking people, the rare individual who tries unselfishly to serve his fellow men has an enormous advantage. Indispensable to winning friends is a pleasing personality. Each day, in school, social or business life, we are being judgeo by those with whom we come in contact. Since a pleasing personality costs nothing and yet is cf such great value, we should all work to develop this quality. Today the greatest threat to our peace, happiness and security is hate. Bomb c can wipe out nations, but they cannot obliterate hate; neither can they conquer it with huge armies or a navy that rules the waves.” However, this deadly enemy can be wiped out with good will and friendship that stem from the heart of each and every ' individual. We had an excellent example of this when the Friendship Train” crossed the United States a few years ago. Generous Americans in all walks of life gave to help others and did so happily. Also the gratitude of the French people was shown by the gifts they sent in the Merci Train this winter. Such interchange of friend- ship is worth more to the world than billions spent upon bombs and armaments. Yet, how inexpensive love and gcod will are! We should all realize that in helping others we are really helping ourselves. Our every thought and action is in some way directly responsible for cur future success or failure. So:n we shall be taking our places in various walks of life. As we ven¬ ture forward we should keep in mind cur class motto, ”In Ourse� es cur Future Lies,” and strive to make every deed we perform beneficial to ourselves and all humanity. Marian Koehler 49 IF WE HAVE FAITH In ourselves our future lies, if we have faith. This is an exrellent motto, not only for the graduating class; but for everyone, for without faith one cannot accomp¬ lish anything. r Faith to different groups of people means different things. Business men put their faith in their product; parents put their faith in their children; children put their faith in the future; and everyone, in one way or another, puts his faith in God. Today in the world their is dire need for renewed faith. Faith in God, faith in ourselves, faith in cur neighbor and faith in the world. Before we can have faith in anything else we must have faith in God, for God is the source from which all faith must come. We must have faith in God especially in these days of uncertainty when everyone is talking about another depression or the possibility of another world war. However, to have a strong faith we must pray_ pray that the people’s confidence in a brighter, better tomorrow will not be shattered. LD CN Page 24 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Many of us have faith in ourselves, but not the right kind of faith. We believe we can do many things, but when some big undertaking comes along, it is much easier to say I can’t” than it is to say ’Til try.” What a wonderful world this would be, if everyone did his best—if everyone had faith in himself that he was doing some¬ thing to benefit society; for it is surely true if one does not have confidence in him¬ self, how can others have confidence in him? For many of us, it is an easier task to have faith in ourselves than it is to have faith in our neighbor, for to many of us our neighbor is the epitome of insincerity. We say to ourselves, ”How many times have I put my faith in my neighbor and he has betrayed me?” Yet, we do not say, ' How many times has my neighbor put faith in me and I have betrayed him?” We seem to forget that every¬ one is human and susceptible to errors. If we do not believe in our neighbor, life becomes a dreary blank, for everyone wishes to share his joys and sorrows with others. Ellery Channing cnce said, Faith is love in the form ot aspiration.” To have faith in the world nowadays is a difficult task, for the world has broken faith with us so many times. Yet, we cannot blame the world too much. We can only blame ourselves, for we are the ones that make the world what it is. If we do our share to improve the world, it will be a better place and we certainly cannot cure the ills of the world by criticizing. We can only cure them by having faith. Yes, by having faith in all countries and by believing that each country is not really bad, but like an erring child is seeking the right way. Therefore, let us remember that in ourselves our future lies, if we have faith. Margaret Grummell ’49 VALEDICTORY IF WE HAVE VISION The future of today’s youth lies not alone in education, friendship, and faith, as important as these qualities may be, but it lies in the practical use of these great attributes. The graduate must realize that these, or any other gifts, are of little value unless he has the greatest of all, VISION. It is apparent that he make use of these gifts, but in order to succeed, the quality of vision is absolutely essential. To many of us, life resembles a merry-go-round. It spins around and around, day in and day cut, never stopping; and as time gees cn, this great wheel revolves faster and faster. With this tendency toward increased speed, come many changes which the citizens of today must be able to accept, rapid as they are. They must be able to adapt themselves to their everchanging environment. That is the reason why youth must prepare for their place in this world of rapid development. The young people of today are confronted with more problems than the youth of any other previous generation have ever had to cope with, but this should not discourage them; rather it should create for them, a greater challenge. Students must face the obscure future with courage, not only for their own benefit, but for the benefit of all society as well. We, men and women of tomorrow, the future citizens, must have vision. We must look forward to the future, well-prepared for its obstacles, and we must prepare for that future, now. CM Page THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 25 To a majority of the High School Seniors graduating in 1949, planning for their future will include the selection cf a vocation or the preparation of one already chosen. We are the doctors, clergymen, housewives, clerical workers, and teachers of tomorrow. Each one of these occupations is, to us, an opportunity to advance, if we take advantage of such an opportunity. Perhaps it would be well to define vision.” According to the dictionary, it may be termed the act of seeing. But to all cf us, it is the ability to see ahead and pre¬ pare ourselves for the future. Think of the great men in history! Men like Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt all had one thing in common—vision. They had the foresight to see ahead, to choose the right path, and to achieve success. We are the potential leaders cf the future. Have we some little part of that vision which will enable us to solve the problems of this atomic age, to envision the effects on world affairs of such alliances as the Atlantic Pact, the United Nations, and other agree ments? The fight of Democracy against Communism is one of the greatest and most difficult of the many tasks confronting our generation. These tasks can be solved only with vision. In closing, classmates, I wish to advise you to remember the fundamental thoughts you have attained in these brief years of school, maintain a strong grasp cn these prin¬ ciples of democracy, never forget you are American citizens, and above all, remember well your motto, In ourselves our future lies. May God be with you and guide you wherever that future may be.
