The difference a year can make is remarkable. Did the class of ’50 find themselves face to face with a Korean war? Did the boys find themselves receiving draft notices? No. But the class of 51 can answer yes to both questions, and these answers change the situation of things to some extent, for the talk of joining the Army, Navy, Marines, and other branches of the service, sounds similar to the discussions from the classes graduating during the years of World War II. There you have the difference a year can make. Do you think if we had known in advance what would happen in 1951 that it could have been prevented? The class of ' 51 faces a war—the second war within ten years. What will their future be? At this point it is hard to say, but we do know that whatever it may be, this class is well-equipped to cope with it. Each graduate, both in W.L.H.S., and in schools all over America, has had the best in educational facilities. He has been trained in courses which appeal to him, and which he can use when his occupation calls for it. Is the graduate of 51, then, able to face the future? Yes, for in his grasp is the knowledge of twelve or more school years. Now he enters the testing ground for this knowledge, for the school of life and the problems it will present will give him the most severe examination of his theories and their practical applications that he has ever experienced. How he stands up under this ordeal will be the true test of his education and his manhood. I feel sure, however, that the class of ’51 will handle the future wisely, perhaps a little better than the generation before, whether it be war, strife, peace, or prosperity. Thus, to each member I say Bon Voyage!” as you travel the sea of life. The journey is yours; make it smooth-sailing all the way. Alice Marconi 52 GRADUATION The time has come for the Seniors to graduate, and as usual the many preparations for this occasion keep everyone excited, for the Seniors really have many things to do during the year to make their graduation a success. First of all, there is the class trip which every Senior enjoys. This is the event that is remembered both by the students and the teachers. Whether it be visiting the Capitol in Washington or sight-seeing at the Smithsonian Institute, everyone is thrilled with the wonders to be seen in our National Capitol. Class Night is another joyous occasion in which the Seniors present their favorite expressions, gifts, and songs. On this night they often look back and review some of the amusing events of their high school days. The class play is the event that cannot be forgotten because it has been prepared and practiced until the great night! Though it may be a farce or an historical play, it always delights the students and the audience. f r r r r r. r o CM Page 1 I I .1 .1 .1 .1 J J J I J I J J I J I THE HIGH SCHOOL HEKALI) 19 There is no doubt that seme of the actors will be a bit stage-struck, but all-in-all the senior play is one of the successful affairs of the year. Usually the play shows some of the future Elizabeth Taylors and Van Johnsons of community dramatics. The most unforgettable night of all is the night of graduation. Here you will find the proud parents gathered to watch their sons and daughters receive the coveted diplomas. At the same time the Seniors themselves dressed in their caps and gowns will feel their hearts fluttering, net only with joy but with sadness, when they think of leaving W.L.H.S. The sound of the graduation march and the presenting of the diplomas always send a strange, solemn feeling through each Senior, for he realizes that he is leaving his high school days behind and going out to make his way in the adult world. Rijth Pomeroy ’53 SCHOOL NEWS SENIOR CLASS NEWS President ...Ellsworth Case Vice-President __David Ulitsch Secretary .Nancy Shaughnessy Treasurer ... Marjorie Hancock On Monday, September 18, the Seniors held a class meeting at which the magazine subscription sale was discussed and begun. Margaret Silk was chosen captain of the Yankee team, and Betty Taravella was chosen captain of the Red Sox team. The amount taken in was $2,350.05. Thus a sizable commission was earned for the class. On October 13, 1950, the Senior Class held a meeting to discuss plans for the Senior Social given in honor of the Freshman Class. The Entertainment Committee gave a skit representing the conduct of First Graders on their first day at school. On November 3, 1950, plans were made to sell refreshments in the Home Eco¬ nomics Room on Election Day. This project is conducted annually to furnish funds for the Washington Trip. On Friday, November 10, the losing team on the magazine sale, the Red Sox, gave a party for the winning team, the Yankees. The Junior class was invited. There were movies, dancing, and refreshments, as well as a short skit representing spectators at a Football Game. The Class President, Ellsworth Case, the Captain of the winning team, Margaret Silk, and three members of the winning team who sold more than $50 worth of magazines were chosen to go to New York for a day. The Class voted to have their graduation pictures taken at the Loring Studio. The Class Motto is as follows: The past forever gone, The future still our own. Maroon caps and gown for the boys and white caps and gowns for the girls were voted by the Class. The colors chosen for the Class were scarlet and silver. On Monday, March 12, 1951, a cast was chosen to present a Row-Peterson Play, The Inner Willy, on Friday, April 13. The play is based upon Willy, a poor, mother- CM Page 20 THE HIGH SC HOOL HEKALI) less boy who is constantly pampered by his three elderly aunts. As usual the ending is a happy one, when Willy’s conscience or Inner Willy, forces Willy to speak tor himself. On Tuesday, March 20, Mr. and Mrs. Jan Kok accepted the Senior Class invita¬ tion to chaperon the class to Washington. The class left Windsor Locks, April 30, and returned May 4. En route, a transfer was made in New York. In Washington, such buildings were seen as the Congressional Library, Smithsonian Institute, and many other historic sights. Through the fall and winter, the Senior Class gave Food Sales for the benefit of the trip to Washington. The amount added to our treasury was $80. The Senior Class wish to extend their heartiest appreciation to all who have made the social functions, assemblies, and the class trip possible. We have greatly benefited from the years spent here and sincerely hope that the classes following will enjoy their high school days as much as we have.

As a part of the Easter Program a Spring Fashion Show was presented by the students. Mrs. Robert Dowd was in charge. Before the basketball team began their season the cheerleaders held a pep rally. This acquainted the school with the old as well as the new cheers. At a special assembly five members of The Hartford Symphony Orchestra enter¬ tained and acquainted the students with various instruments. At a later date an in¬ teresting puppet show was shown to the students. Early in the Spring the Windsor Locks High School Basketball Team spent an enjoyable weekend in New York. The proceeds from the faculty vs. the High Sihool Junior Varsity game made this trip possible. In April the Senior Class presented their annual class play, a three act comedy, entitled The Inner Willy.” A Driver ' s Training Course, under the direction of Mr. George Esposito, was pro¬ vided for the students of sixteen years of age and over. About 35 students enrolled for the course. The Glee Club, under the direction of Mr. Jan Kok, was again organized. The officers include President and Secretary, Rita Ritchard; Vice-President, Nancy Rivers; Librarian, Joan Therrien. The A. A. Representative were elected early in the fall. The council consists of 4 Senior s, 3 Juniors, 2 Sophomores, and 1 Freshman. During the past year Donald Gallerani, a member of the senior class, left for the armed forces. All of his classmates wish him much success in the Army and regret that he will not be graduating with them. Thomas Butcher, a former student of Windsor Locks High returned heme after active duty with the marines in Korea.

On April 19, 1951, a television set was installed in the high school auditorium, so the students could hear the speech made by General Douglas MacArthur. The set was installed through the courtesy of Mr. Don LaRussa. This is the first time the whole student body has had the opportunity to see television in a school assembly. Thus, with the affairs of 1951 coming to a close, we wind up another successful year at Windsor Locks High School. Alma Rodelli ’51 ATHLETIC NEWS BASKETBALL The 1951 basketball team did it! That’s what everybody will be remembering for years to come. The Windsor Locks High basketball team, under the excellent coaching of Elias Shapiro, not only beat Ellsworth the first time since 1944, but also tied for the CIAC championship with Berlin. Although the stalwart Locks team lacked height, they made up for it in hustle. As some of the alumni players have stated, It is the fastest and most aggressive team the Locks have ever had.” Coach Shapiro took the little disadvantage in height the team had and developed a fast, skillful club. Every game the Locks won, they had to scrap for because they lacked the necessary height. Mr. Shapiro, who graduated from Tufts College and started his coaching career here, deserves a great deal of credit. Every basketball fan in this town appreciates the mag¬ nificent job he has done. The teams’ offense consisted mostly of the three-lane fast break. They used it to every advantage and it generally paid off in a lot of games, as the difference sometimes was two and three points. When they did not have the fast break, they employed a set 2-1-2 offense with the point of attack centered around the pivot man. Their defense consisted both of man to man and zcne defense. The players who saw action are as follows: Billy Whitten—6 ' 1 , 155 lbs. Bill, the team’s tallest player, was used at the pivot. He used every kind of shot he cunningly could sneak in. Bill was a strong re- bounder and a very good shot. Whit”, as he is called, was also one of the league’s leading scorers. Ray Ermellini—5 ' 6 , 135 lbs. Although Giz” was small, he was very aggressive on the offensive with his fakes, set and jump shots. Ray was the second player ever to be picked on the all-state team in the history of Windsor Locks High School basket¬ ball teams. He was also one of the leading scorers in the league. George Quagliaroli—5 ' 10 , 145 lbs. Ace” Quagliaroli was very aggressive on both the defense and the offense. Ace” was a good rebcunder and added strong support to the team. George was called up from the J.V.’s and very skillfully filled the forward spot as a regular. Pete Tenerowicz—5 ' 7 , 145 lbs. Pete was the team’s playmakcr and was also one of the league’s leading scorers. Although Pete lacked height, he made up for it in his cjuick aggressiveness. Pete was a good driver as well as one of the league’s best set-shot artists. LD CM Page 21 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Dave Ulitsch—5 ' 11 , 160 lbs. Dave, the team’s steadiest ball-player, game after game, could be counted cn to come through with a great performance. He was the strongest rebounder and a great defensive player. Dave was one of the best guards in the Class C league. Gene Africano—5 ' 10 , 145 lbs. Gene, better classified as the Smoky Joe Paige of the basketball team was sixth man and saw a good deal of action as a sub. Gene was usually at his best when the pressure was on, as could be shown by his sterling performance in the Ellsworth and Glastonbury games. Matt Wezowicz—5 ' 7 , 160 lbs. Zeke Wezowicz, as he was called, was very aggressive and had a very good set shot. Zeke could also drive with amazing speed. Ellsworth Case—5 ' 10 , 140 lbs. Casey was not only good with a bat, but in basketball he was very smart and fast on the defense as well as the offene. Billy McGinn—5 ' 10 , 140 lbs. Billy had a terrific one hander and was generally a good driver. Billy has another year and looks to be a promising player. Bill Price—5 ' 10 , 135 lbs. Bill Price, although used sparingly did a wonderful job. Bill has another year and promises to see a lot of action next year. Billy is very aggressive and a good defensive player. Bob Kulas—5 ' 9 , 145 lbs. Bobby has a good jump shot and generally hits with it. He was a great defensive ball player and rebounder. BASEBALL Baseball prospects, for the coming season have shown encouraging ability in batting and fielding as exemplified in the first two practice sessions. All are hoping for a successful season. The returning lettermen are as follows: Ray Ermellini, Dave Ulitsch, Pete Tenerowicz, Bob Kulas, Matt Wezowicz, Billy McGinn, Ellsworth Case, Eugene Africano, and Billy Stone. Others that were brought up this year are Louis Rossi, Bobby Raccone, Dickie Arnum, and Ray Beltrandi. David Ulitsch 51 i r .

We all know that without your help we would not be graduating tonight and so we express our thanks. It is generally agreed that young people have a better chance to succeed in America than in any other country, and for that reason we of the graduating class should be thankful. Tonight as we leave school, many of us plan to go on to places of higher learning, or perhaps some of us may even be employed by Uncle Sam, but the majority of us will probably seek employment in business, industry, the mechanical trades. First let us consider prospects or chances for young people now-a-days. We realize of course that most of the better jobs require a college education or some sort of specializ-ed training. Thus it behooves us to get as much education as possible. In our country we have the advantage of free public education from the first grade to the senior year in high school. Then for those boys and girls who are not happy in academic high schools, our bigger school systems offer trade schools in which the boy or girl can learn some useful occupation. No matter in which state one lives, from a small state like Rhode Island to a large state like Texas, a young person can find a school to fit his needs. Scholarships are offered by the majority of the colleges to further encourage the brilliant student of moderate circumstances to continue his education. Also, some schools offer athletic scholarships to boys who have exceptional ability in sports. Thus if a pupil really wishes to further his edu¬ cation after high school, there are many opportunities of which he may take advantage. After the student has graduated from high school, what then? The graduate starts looking for a job. What types of work are open? There are the professions, but these require special schooling or a college degree. Another field of opportunity is the business world. There are many branches in this field; such as advertising, journalism, designing and secretarial work. One other line of work attractive to high school graduates is that of the skilled laborer who does such jobs as masonry, carpentry, and plumbing. This type of work also requires some special training. Therefore, to succeed in any field every kind of job requires training and the chance for employment and steady advance in the job. Where else but in this great country of ours is there such opportunity for young people to work and get ahead! Not one country can equal ours. At this time of stress, we should all learn to appreciate our country all the more. If we ever started to count the great opportunities we all have, young and old here in America, we would never have the time to complain about the petty faults and injustices of life. Rather, let us all thank God for our great country, the Land of Opportunity. Constance Drumm 31 as CM Page 28 THE HIGH SCHOOL HEKALI) FIFTY YEARS OF CHANGE Graduates of 1951 are today reaping the benefits of the progress made in the first half of this twentieth century. Only a few will be fortunate enough to live to see the next century, but many of these graduates will have a share in the building and shaping of the progress in the next fifty years. Thus we hope that we of this generation will assume our responsibilities and do as well if not better than those of past generations in advancing the arts, the sciences, the humanities, and the policies of our government. Let us consider the great changes made in the relatively short course of fifty years. Today we may safely say that 1900 was the turning point to a modern era. We are all familiar with the inventions which have made life easier and more greatly enjoyed by the masses—radio, movies, television, plastics and synthetics, electronics and more advanced methods of transportation. The entire structure of labor and capital which once made the rich man richer and the poor man poorer has changed. Today, through legislation, many laws pro¬ vide for the protection, health, and safety of a worker. Some of the greatest changes in labor laws have been in those which concern minor children and their employ¬ ment. For centuries, it had been customary for a child to be hired out for a term of years for little more than his keep in order that he might learn a trade. This period was called an apprenticeship and the system afforded some protection to the young worker because seldom were they apprenticed until sixteen years of age and then they were kept in close contact with the employer who was expected to look after their welfare. With the introduction of the factory system, working conditions became most unfavorable to the young employees, some of whom were only five years old and who worked from sunrise to dark. Early in the nineteen hundreds, legislation was passed which generally prohibited child labor. Now most stores reejuire that chil¬ dren attend full time school until sixteen years of age. Another great improvement since the early part of the century has been made in transportation. Our elders will no doubt remember when a trip to a neighboring city was an all-day outing. The roads were not well paved and the early automobiles were hardly more satisfactory than Old Dobbin and the carriage. Now in a matter of a few hours, we may be carried from one city to another in the luxurious splendor of a streamlined plane. Also, the farmer’s life was once a weary round of duty, day after day. Now, because of the great strides in the manufacture of modern farm machinery and equip¬ ment, his life, too, has become less dreary and full of toil. Furthermore, improved manufacturing and merchandising methods have en¬ abled the common worker to secure a higher standard of living. Mass production has proved that the more goods you produce, the less it costs to produce them. The more wages people earn, the greater becomes their buying power. Thus th : s eco¬ nomic law has proved that it pays better to produce the same sort of food, clothing, and equipment for everyone than to produce luxury items for the few and third-rate goods for the masses. i r [ I I r r r r o co Page I I T I I r r j j j j j THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 29 Do not think that there is nothing more to be done to better ourselves in every way. I believe that we have hardly started, unless a total war smashes our whole system, as it has in many other countries. Science is still in its youth; a single new discovery like that of atomic power, if used for peaceable means, could later help to make 1951 seem as primitive as 1900 seems to some today. If we can keep our wits about us, our communities can be far cleaner, more convenient, and comfortable for every man, woman, and child who lives in them. Thus the graduates of 1951, in schools all over this nation, need to be serious, thoughtful individuals, for they face grave responsibilities and tremendous tasks to make the last half of this century as progressive as has been the first half. Dorothy Manning ’51 OUR JOB AS CITIZENS One of the most important duties of the graduate of this year is to make sure that he prepares himself to accept the responsibilities of a good citizen of this country. Our land needs true, loyal citizens today, more than ever before, and she may rightfully expect them from the young people she has educated in her free public schools. As Thomas Paine once wrote: ' These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it noiv, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.” Citizenship, unlike many other goals, is a goal which requires planning, not only in the future but also in the present. Now that we are leaving high school, we shall have a far greater task ahead of us as citizens in a system of government which offers us more freedom, more rights, more advantages, more opportunity and more happiness than any other country in the whole world. To be sure, these privileges require more work on our part than any other type of citizenship in the world, yet we feel they are worth it. Here in America, the individual citizen is the big wheel ' ' in the machinery of our government. The law is whatever the majority o. the citizens decide. We can turn on our radios knowing that what we hear does not necessarily agree with the opinion in high government circles. We can tele¬ phone a friend and express ourselves as we desire, for we know that no secret police are listening. This is American democracy. If there are any imperfections in our way of life, it is because of the lack of full responsibility on our part as citizens. What can be more harmful to a democ¬ racy than the evasion of our responsibilities? For example, half of the qualified voters in our country fail to go to the polls and vote in important elections. About three million American children of school age are not even getting an elementary education, let alone a secondary education. Are these any reasons why we as citizens should sit back and allow our way of life to be challenged? The flaws in our democratic system are the result of our own negligence and lack of interest—not the fault of the system itself. The government merely exists to serve the people. Our chief task, therefore, is to live successfully with other people and to work together in our common life. Whether we shall be a success or a failure depends on how well we plan and how well we use the means we have for carrying out that job. cn Page SO THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Thus we need today earnest, loyal men and women who cherish their rights and duties as citizens of this democracy and would sacrifice everything else before they would give up these privileges granted us by our Constitution. I think this can be summed up best by the words of Josiah Gilbert Holland, who said: God, give us Men! A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor; men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking! Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking; For while the rabble, with their thumb-worn creeds. Their large professions and their little deeds. Mingle in selfish strife, lo! Freedom weeps, Wrong rules the land and waiting Justice sleeps.” Dolores Vaitukaitis ’51 VALEDICTORY PROSPECTS POR THE FUTURE The past forever gone, the future still our own.” This is indeed a motto which we should remember all our lives. We are leaving high school; what we have accomplished there and what we have failed to accomplish will forever remain unchanged. We must not dwell upon past mistakes, thinking how much better off we would have been if we had worked a little harder, or had made different decisions. Rather it is the present we must strive to perfect in order to insure a better future. We are on the threshold of the future; some of us will continue our formal education, many will not, but we have all enrolled in the school of life, where we shall continue to acquire knowledge everyday of our lives. Until now, we have had to attend school. We have been prodded by parents and teachers to study. From now on, we must seek knowledge as our own respon¬ sibility; we must open every door that will lead us to new and unexplored worlds. To insure a bright and happy future, we must have a firm foundation which we build gradually from bits of learning here and bits of knowledge there. We are the future leaders of America and the guardians of our democracy. To do our job well, we must be strong, we must educate ourselves to know what is best for our country, to be able to distinguish between good and evil ways of life, no matter how cleverly they are disguised. By refusing to accept superficial appearances and by insisting on delving into the truth of matters we shall not find ourselves led blindly into the undesirable situations. [ f [ r r. r r r r r r. CM CO Page J J J J J J J J J J J r THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 31 By doing our best in everything we attempt we cannot fail to get the best out of life, even in these difficult times. We know that the world is upset at this time by wars and strikes, but we feel confident that there must be some way to overcome them, and that if we search hard enough we shall find the solution. It will take untold courage, patience, and forti¬ tude, but American youth, I am confident, has the strength and the vision to tackle these problems and overcome them. Classmates, as I bid you farewell, I wish you all the success and happiness that life holds, and may God bless you all. Nancy Shaughnf.ssy ’51 CLASS SONG We re gathered tonight To bid farewell to our friends. Though our studies were hard and long. Still the future’s call is strong. So long to the fun, But we ll try hard to succeed, While the memories live and last Of those four years in the past, So long. The time has drawn near For us to bid you adieu. May our hopes and the plans we made, In the future soon come true. We re thankful today For all the days of the past, And though all of us had some faults, Only memories fond will last, So long.
