But, ( h. her friends—what they could tell! t EDITORIAL A CHANGI; FOR THE BETTER This year a great many changes have been introduced in Windsor Locks High School. First, we have moved from the old and familiar building on Church Street to the spacious and modern facilities on Center Street. Prior to the Christmas vacation the students were given a guided tour through this new school, and on January 3 classes were held there for the first time. Our new school is designed adequately to care for all the needs of its students. The science rooms and the library, for example, are amply furnished with up-to-date equipment. Modern facilities have been provided for the instruction of all the various phases cf homemaking and industrial arts. Our new gymnasium is a treasure. Here it is possible to carry on two gym classes at the same time without any interference whatsoever. Of course, during the basketball season we were very proud and happy to show it elf to visiting schools. And we must not forget our beautiful auditorium. Luxuriously designed, it sufficiently houses the student body and will continue to do so as our enrollment steadily increases in the years to come. Our present Senior Class will be honored to graduate there in June. Aside from the change of the building itself, many other improvements have been made. There are now five, instead of three, courses of study available for all students to choose from. These curricula—general, college, commercial, homemaking, and indus¬ trial arts—are organized to give students the best possible preparation for the future. For the enjoyment of all the students, a system of clubs has been constituted. The first phase of this system enables each student to select a club according to his individual interests. There are, however, three clubs to which membership is purely elective: The National Honor Society, the Student Council, and the Athletic Association. Adjusting to these new surroundings was not a difficult task, for our teachers and cur classmates did not change, and after all, it is these people who really make up our school. To show our appreciation for our beautiful new school we must all try to do our best and take full advantage of all the opportunities it offers.

The Senior Magazine Sale proved to be highly successful. The Class of ' 56 brought in more subscriptions than any other class to date. The four top salesmen were: Gloria Favata, Anthony Kulas, Sonya Pohorylo, and Beverly Micha. On October 29 the Class engaged the Brown Studio of Springfield to take class pictures. Gold and white were chosen for class colors and maroon and white for caps and gowns. On February 7 the Seniors held a meeting to discuss various committees. The Food Sale, Motto, and Song Committees were chosen. Janice Lascell was elected chair¬ man of the Food Sale. Rose Bouchard was elected Class Editor of the HERALD. The Senior Class staged a three act comedy, CLEMENTINE, On April 6. To help finance the class trip to Washington, the Seniors held a luncheon on Election Day and a big food sale on April 14. Both proved to be very successful. The Senior Class wishes to thank everyone who helped make this Senior year a success.

Somewhat later in the month the above officers were elected. In November a special meeting of class officers was held to make plans for the Freshman dance held on December 16, 1955. In March, 1956, Judith Agnoli was elected to the HERALD Board. Judith Agnoli ' 59 SCHOOL NEWS In late September of 1955 the school bell rang and a total of 234 students 10 seniors, 42 juniors, 72 sophomores, and 80 freshmen—answered its call. Three new teachers were added to the staff: Mr. Laroy Brown, industrial arts; Mrs. June F. Sherman, English and library; and Miss Vivan Christensen, homemaking. Mr. Alexander Shapiro became boys’ physical education director as Mr. Elias Shapiro advanced to the post of Vice-Principal of Windsor Locks High School. In January, 1956, the entire student body transferred to a beautiful, newly com¬ pleted school. Since a new school brings new responsibilities, more student govern¬ ment was needed; hence, a Student Council and a National Honor Society were chartered. Many other extra-curricular activities were inaugurated during the year. Now available for student choice are the Library, Literary, Language, WILOHI, Audio- Visual Aids, Dramatic, History, Homemaking, and Biology Clubs. The Driver Educa¬ tion program was continued and again proved popular; student drivers trained in a new and well-et|uipped automobile donated by Thomas Ford Sales. On Friday, April 13, at 1:00 P.M., Windsor Locks High School held its annual Career Day. Representatives of five organizations were on hand to talk about oppor¬ tunities in their respective fields. They were: Mrs. Lee Ann Gunderson, Employee Community Relations Assistant, Travelers Insurance Company; Mr. Howard Muir, Administrations officer, Trinity College; Miss Lorraine Benoit, Pediatric Nursing Instruc¬ tor, Saint Francis Hospital, Hartford; Mr. Murray L. Carter, Student Counselor, Hartford Regional Technical School; and Mrs. Hope V. Grundy, Director of Training, Sage- Alien, Hartford. During the refreshment hour, representatives of various branches of the armed services talked informally with the students. Robert Gilligan ’56 SPORTS NEWS BASKETBALL In November, Coach Al Shapiro with lettermen Russ Jubrey and Art Pfeiffer and newcomers, Charles Simonetta, Charles Sidway and Bill Sidway, plus a great bench consisting cf Bill Gifford, Jim Fitzpatrick, Ray Marconi, Bob Wichniewicz, and Bill Wegrzyniak, set out on the 18-game schedule with some practice sessions. These sessions indicated that the team was ready for the opposition. After going through the first six games undefeated, the Raiders went down in defeat to Berlin by three points, 51-48. After this loss the team found itself and lived up to early-season predictions. Led by Russ Jubrey’s offensive and defensive play. Art Pfeiffer’s consistent rebounding, and the sterling teamplay of Charles Simonetta and the Sidway brothers, the Raiders outscored their opponents and finished the season with a 17-1 record. When the Raiders went to Berlin, they offset their only defeat by down¬ ing the Berliners by some twenty points. Highlighting the eleven-game winning streak were two overtime victories against Bacon Academy and Canton on their home courts. In these games the team once again showed courage and that good old school spirit by breaking away in the overtime sessions to win by eleven and thirteen points, respectively. For the regular season of 18 games, Russ Jubrey led all scorers with a total of 317 points. Art Pfeiffer followed with 257, Bill Sidway with 163, Charles Simonetta with 141, and Charles Sidway with 102. Going into the state tournaments ranked third, Windsor Locks easily downed Bethel 79-49 in its play-down game. The Locks then met Hand of Madison in the quarter-finals. Suffering from poor shooting in the last three periods, the Raiders lost to Hand by the score of 68-59. Two of our lettermen, Art Pfeiffer and Bill Sidway, will be leaving the squad this year. Needless to say, they will be missed; however, prospects look bright for next season. BASEBALL Although hampered by bad baseball weather in rounding to early-season shape, Windsor Locks’ baseball stock appeared high with veterans holding down key positions. Russ Jubrey and Ray Marconi hurled with Gary Casey and Gerry Hebert catching, Bobby Lee handling first, Charles Simonetta at second, Charles Sidway at short, and Jimmy Buckley at third. Flychasers included Bill Sidway, Buddy Staiger, Bill Gifford, and Jim Fitzpatrick. Rounding out a strong bench were Edmund Arrighini, Nelson Parmelee, and Robert Fuller. Games were scheduled with Windsor, Canton, Suffield, Bloomfield, East Hampton, Portland, Bacon Academy, and Berlin. William Sidway ’56 WHO ' S WHO Rose Bouchard—... Elizabeth Schultz.

GRADUATION NIGHT PROGRAM LliSS THAN OUR BEST IS FAILURE Members of the Board of Education, Teachers, Parents, and Friends: On behalf of the Class of 1956 I welcome you. As the first speaker this evening I wish to share with you some thoughts on our class motto, Less than our best is failure. As we look down through the pages of our history, we cannot help but notice the deeds of such great men as George Washington, Thomas Edison, and Dr. Albert Einstein. Undoubtedly we are all a little envious of these men and the respect with which they are generally regarded. However, these men were much the same as any other average-day American. The only basic difference between them and ourselves is that they showed marvelous perseverance, while we are more apt to drift with the tide of events. Perhaps some persons would say that they themselves grew up in a time of strife and hardship; thus they were unable to attain their best. This may be so, but surely they must realize that if they had persevered and applied themselves vigorously, their present life would not be such an uncomfortable burden. Everyone must realize that life is what he makes it. When a person says that he is satisfied with things as they stand, it is probable that he does not clearly perceive all that he might be. There is always room for improve¬ ment. If one does not show improvement he is a failure. A failure is not one who has become bankrupt, financially or otherwise. A failure is a person who, through his own lack of effort, has been unable to attain the best possible life both for himself and his family. On the other hand, one should not call another a failure simply because he is unable to keep up with the Joneses. He may be in such a condition because of illness in the family, bad luck in his affairs, or an incapacity for functioning in this complex world. That there is no excuse for failure may be true to a point; we must remember, how¬ ever, that we are only human. I think that every person who has had the opportunity for success and has failed to fulfill his part of the venture, through his own fault, is a failure. Not only is he giving an inadequate rendering of himself; he is also setting a poor example for the younger generation. For this reason more than any other we say, Less than our best is failure. Stephen Macola ' 56 WHAT IS SUCCESS? Tonight we arc here on this stage together for the last time. Four years ago when we entered high school, our ambition was to graduate. Tonight we have achieved that ambition and now we must set up another destination for ourselves. Each one of us faces his individual future and each wants success in whatever he undertakes. This success we all want—what is it? Is there a magic formula? Of course not. Unfortunately, in our society the worship of the word success” has gone too far. To too many people the concept of success is financial wealth or fame. We often forget that the average citizen, the man next door,” who works hard to maintain his home, to support his family, and to raise his children as good citizens is a success. In fact the truly successful person is one who is doing what gives him enjoyment and the fullest expression of his abilities and personality. As Wendte once said, Success in life is not so much of talent or opportunity as of concentration and perseverance.” In attempting to achieve individual success, we should first stop and take a survey of ourselves, our talents, abilities, personality, and opportunities, and then begin to build a frame of expectancies which is probable, not just extravagantly possible. When we have our frame of expectancies and our materials, we can begin to build toward success. To have a firm structure we must begin at the bottom and work upward. A classic example of one who has built success is Helen Keller. Early in her childhood this remarkable woman was stricken with a disease which deprived her of the senses of sight and hearing. It is almost impossible for us to comprehend the dif¬ ficulties which she has had to overcome. Yet she overcame all of them and is famous the world over and an inspiration for all similarly handicapped people. Helen Keller is a success. She has perseverance and determination. It was perseverance that enabled M iss Keller to learn how to speak and this same perseverence which enabled her not only to graduate from Radcliffe College, but to graduate cum lauJe. If she could overcome such a great physical handicap, think of what we can achieve with all of our faculties, blind only to our own potentialities. It has been said that any normal person with average intelligence who is morally sound, open and above board in dealing, not afraid of work, and who will play the game fairly and squarely and keep everlastingly at it should succeed in spite of obstacles and hardships.” Let us remember this and we shall be well on our way toward success. Now, at the threshold of our careers, let us not place too much value on immediate security, but rather let us be ready to seize each opportunity, apply ourselves, and build our own, a sounder security for ourselves and our nation. Mary Judith Parmelee ' 56 SUCCESS IN COLLEGE Tonight, as we stand on the threshold of a new life, the promise of success is before us. It beckons us onward into a future whose secret can be unfolded according to our deepest wishes and desires, provided that these are in harmony with the best that we have known and thought in our education so far. To those of us who are going to college, our achievement in college will determine the effectiveness of the role we play in later life. In looking back on college years when we have reached the age of ful¬ fillment of our careers, we will be able to trace a subtle thread of connection between the most significant events of our college days and those things which afford us the real and abiding satisfactions of adulthood. But what does success in college consist of? Certainly it is not drifting aimlessly through and graduating by the skin of one ' s teeth. Eor success in college to have any genuine meaning for the individual, it must involve some sacrifice, hard mental work, and striving toward a definite goal. Some will be fortunate enough to have their daily needs and their scholastic expenses taken care of; others will be required to work to make ends meet and will put a great strain on their powers of endurance. In either case there will be no escaping the necessity of devoting long hours to books with earnest effort and untiring discipline. Good study habits will strengthen the powers of reason and judgment; the development of these faculties is essential to a rewarding college career and to successful living in the years after college. Most colleges and universities today are organized around the idea of affording the entering student an opportunity to become acquainted with the broad field cf liberal arts before he attempts to specialize. A w-ell-rounded education which includes some- experience in the humanities, such as literature, philosophy, and the history of art, will bring him close to his goal of a rich and full life. On the practical side, a college education is helpful in the choice of a career. It is a rare student who is sufficiently in touch with his own unexplored capacities for development to be able to decide in advance where he may best apply his skills in the furthering of a personal career. It is not usual for an individual to leap from high school directly i nto professional life, and a college course which ranges far over the bread realms of science and the humanities is the best laboratory for testing out the student’s yearnings and abilities. The final decision upon a choice of career may not be made within the span cf college life, but that is not important. What college can do— and this is perhaps its greatest contribution—is to stimulate intellectual curiosity and aid in the cultivation of ideals, without which success can hardly be achieved. Gloria Josephine Eavata ' 56 SUCCESS, OUR GOAL Many believe that a college education is necessary to success. In some cases this is undoubtedly true. However, there have been many famous personalities who have succeeded in reaching their goals without college training. One who comes immediately to mind is Walt Disney whose cartoons are known and loved throughout the world. With unfailing faith in the originality of his creative ideas, he has overcome all obstacles in his path to achieve presperty and fame. Even more widely known are Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln who did so much toward the development of our country. Without college training, but through study and actual experience, these men were able to advance in their own fields. The fact that these and many other persons have succeeded indicates that success does not depend on formal education alone. Each of these indi¬ viduals set himself a goal and worked until he had attained it. Success is net a mysterious thing and it is not for only a certain select few. Any¬ one who is willing to work hard to achieve his ambitions and who has the strength and incentive to endure can, in his own way, be just as famous as Benjamin Franklin or Abraham Lincoln. We the members of the Class of 1956 are leaving the comparative safety of high school for advanced training, the business world, or the armed forces. Whatever our goals may be, reaching the top of the ladder will not be easy. There are many obstacles which can be overcome only by strength and a profound firmness—traits which have enabled many to go on to prosperity. Today in this modern world of ours there are many opportunities. With the knowledge and training which we have received in high school, the possibilities will be even greater. With the help that we have received from our teachers and from the administration, we shall face the future with greater faith and security. Through their perseverance and consideration, their gifts of time and effort, we are here tonight; we have achieved the preliminary goal, graduation from high school. I should like now to bid farewell to my classmates and to wish them endless success and happiness in whatever they undertake. With them I say to all who have helped us, We will try to live up to our motto, Less than our best is failure.’ ” Gloria Lefemine ' 56 FAREWELL SONG OF THE CLASS OF 1956 Melody: ' ‘Moments to Remember Words by the Song Committee Our first three years have ccme and gene, Our senior year has come along— We will have those moments to remember.
