EDITORIAL When the world learned that the Russians had launched Sputnik, one of the questions raised was Why did the U.S.S.R. beat the United States in launching a satellite?” Many answers to this question have been advanced. Chief among them was the statement that the schools in the United States are not doing an adequate job of educating young people; that too many snap” courses are being offered in place of the basic subjects: mathematics, science, history, English, and foreign languages. As a result of this criticism many schools are revamping their curricula. Here in Windsor Locks High School, we students can consider ourselves fortunate, for our school has always tried to maintain high academic standards while satisfying the needs of all types of students. Curriculum changes which give educational advan¬ tages to all students are constantly being made. The college preparatory curriculum demands sustained effort in all of the basic subjects. Next year a third year of French will be offered, and third and fourth years of Latin are plann ed for the near future. While emphasizing this strong academic preparation, our school has also given heed to the students who will work in business, in industry ' , or in the home. The commercial curriculum affords students the opportunity to be thoroughly prepared in all business techniques. And several years ago after an intense curriculum study by administration and staff, the industrial arts and homemaking curricula were made available. The industrial arts courses are designed specifically for those students who desire exploratory training for employment in industry. Four new courses in industrial arts will be added next year. The homemaking courses are open to those students seeking practical education in preparation for home and family living. Nor are new courses the only means by which our school strives to maintain high standards. Next year all seniors will be required to take five subjects. There will also be a new system for determining a student’s eligibility to pass on to a higher grade. The point system will be replaced by a unit system; each major subject will count one unit; physical education will count ] A of a unit. That our administrators and teachers have planned wisely is being evidenced in competitive testing. More and more Windsor Locks High School students are register¬ ing high scores on statewide and national aptitude and achievement tests. We students hope that changes toward improvement in educational standards will continue. We can do our part by making the most of our opportunities.

Representatives chosen were: David Alfano, Patricia Root, John Wallan and Beverly Marcotti. The Senior Magazine Sale proved highly successful; the class broke all previous records of sales. Thomas Barberie, captain of the winning team, sold the most sub¬ scriptions. The food sale on Election Day and the Senior Class Cake Sale also added to the kitty for the Washington trip. In preparation for the yearbook and graduation, the photography studio of G. Fox Company of Hartford was engaged to take class pictures. Royal blue and white were chosen for class colors and also for caps and gowns. On April 11, 1958, the Senior Class staged a three-act comedy, Seventeen Is Terrific. The play was one of the best performances ever staged at the high sch ool, and the class would like to express their appreciation to all the faculty members who helped to make this such a successful occasion. From April 21 to April 25 forty-eight seniors enjoyed the annual class trip to Washington, D. C. The itinerary included side trips to Fort McHenry, Annapolis, Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Mount Vernon. Under the chairmanship of Charles Sidway, the class held its semi-formal ball on May 17, 1958, from 7:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. This was the last class activity before graduation.

Graduation Night Program CHARACTER A DEFINITION Members of the Board of Education, Teachers, Parents, and Friends: On behalf of my classmates I wish to welcome you to the commencement exercises of the Class of 1958. Tonight marks the completion of four years of training designed to help us in our quest for success in later life. Our individual successes will be built upon character, as is suggested in our class motto, Character is the cornerstone of success. Therefore it becomes necessary at this time to try to explain exactly what character is. The simplest definition is that character is the real you. It is intangible, yet omnipotent; it is hidden in the recesses of the soul, yet it is so extrovert in nature that it once caused a great philosopher to remark, What you are speaks so loud that I can’t hear you. Every man or woman makes a unique impression so powerful that it overrides anything the individual may try to do to hide or obliterate it. Character is an aggregate of qualities distinguishing one person from another. Tonight we are interested in the more serious aspects of character — the way one thinks, does things, believes — for these are the traits of the individual which will contribute most to his good functioning or success in life, his happiness or well-being, and his influence upon the welfare of others. Since no two individuals are alike, there can be no set pattern for success, but we must rely upon the qualities inherent in our character in order to achieve our end. Nowhere are these necessary qualities more manifest than in the person and character of Mahatma Ghandi. His persistence was the chief factor responsible for the fulfill¬ ment of his dreams and ambitions; without his persistence nothing w r ould have been accomplished. His great personal integrity won thousands to his cause. He w r as the shining star the people of India followed to their liberty. His ascetic self-sacrifice would have been the ultimate cause of his death had not an assassin’s bullet cut short his illustrious career. He subordinated his selfish desires in order to stay with his work, which was always most important to him. Consistency like Ghandi’s is the key quality of character, for it strengthens and tempers the more tender traits — such as the capacity for love or generosity or good feeling for others — without which there can be no hope of true s uccess. In closing I wish to thank the teachers and administrators who, throughout the past four years, have acted the part of masons, helping to lay the cornerstones of our success by aiding in the development and strengthening of our characters. Joseph William Kelly, Jr. ATTAINING CHARACTER Attaining character is a slow deliberate process. The building of character begins in the home. Character education in the home is likely to have a lasting effect, for children usually take on the character, good or bad, of the adults with whom they live. Children usually learn to be truthful, helpful, and kind in a home where older persons have these qualities. In a good home a child has the opportunity to come to love and respect himself, out of which grows his capacity to love and respect others. As the child grows older, he is influenced by religious practices which expand the original role of the home. It is his religion that arouses his reverence, love, and gratitude. His will to serve and obey is strengthened. Only man is capable of religion. Much character education is picked up by association. We learn character as we learn our language — by living and associating with other persons. Furthermore, we learn by observing others, by doing things for ourselves, and by receiving criticism. One of the principal end-products of our modern educational system is character formation. When a youngster enters school, he is exposed to varied influences which will mold his development. His principles of conduct and ideals may change or become more firmly established. He begins to show a certain pattern in his actions which makes it possible to predict what he will do under given circumstances. As he progresses in school, he can participate in sports, clubs, and other group activities. By taking part in these activities he becomes a more flexible person. His ability to compromise and his capacity to take things as they come are further advanced. Through varsity sports he learns to work with others as a team. He learns to be a good winner as well as a good loser; he can become a true sportsman. A student will also be influenced by his teachers. Their influence in turn can be amplified through literary and other learning media. The student can read books about other people in the distant corners of the world and become acquainted with their seemingly peculiar customs and ideals. He begins to formulate opinions and stick by them. As he matures the individual is allowed to participate in community projects. In some of the greater populated areas in this country, student governments are instituted. In this way more young people can become better acquainted with the functions of local government. These young people become aware of the honesty, sincerity, and integrity needed in politics. The youth of today must be well educated especially in the field of political science, for they are to be the leaders of this nation in the future. It is never too late to build character. Although building character is a long, continuous process, it can be achieved through perseverance. There are certain anti¬ social elements in society which tempt one to veer from his goal. A stalwart character can withstand temptation. Character is a driving force; intelligence guides it to its destination; together they sum up the human spirit and are inseparable. Judith Vaitukaitis 58 A WORD TO FUTURE GRADUATES When deciding on their future plans, most students will ask themselves What can the world do for me? Let us turn this question around and ask What can I do for the world? This is a more intelligent outlook, for the world will do very little for the individual who refuses to work. Benjamin Franklin once made a statement which parallels this thought: Be studious in your profession and you will be learned; be industrious and frugal and you will be rich; be sober and temperate and you will be happy. At least you will, by such conduct, stand the best chance for such con¬ sequences. In order to understand this saying, it is necessary to examine each part individually. Be studious in your profession and you will be learned. To make a good start in high school, choose your courses wisely. The easiest courses are not always the most suitable. You probably have certain talents and interests of your own. Choose subjects which will help you develop these talents and interests. If you are planning on a college program, follow the academic course. This is undoubtedly the hardest, but the rewards are most worthwhile. There are few shortcuts to success. You must work and work hard. If you follow this advice, you will find your courses much easier and definitely more profitable. If you aren’t sure whether you can tackle an academic course, give it a try. Don’t wait until your senior year to decide that you want to go to college. It takes four solid years of organization and study to prepare yourself for a college program. Be industrious and frugal and you will be rich. In high school frugality refers more to time than to money. Plan your time wisely. A minute is like a flame. It can be of great benefit when taken advantage of, but once it is gone, it is gone forever. In high school, especially, it is necessary to use time to its greatest advantage. A great deal of time must be spent for studying purposes. However, it is important to set aside a certain part of the day for other activities. The ability to plan your time wisely is indeed a valuable asset. By following this plan, you will certainly be rich. As far as being industrious is concerned, do not be satisfied with anything less than your best. It never hurts to do a little extra work, even if it means remaining after school awhile. By doing today’s work today, you will have tomorrow free to explore new fields. Be sober and temperate and you will be happy. No one looks up to the indi¬ vidual who holds grudges against others. Think of the many compromises you have studied in history that have been the result of intelligent consideration and discussion. What kind of country would the United States be today if we continually refused to accept the ideas of other countries? The inability to collaborate peacefully has resulted in many unnecessary wars, not only in the United States, but in other countries as well. Wars have caused the loss of lives, of money, and of friends and loved ones. Feuds between individuals are wars on a smaller scale. They, too, cause unhappiness and oftentimes the loss of friends; and the individual without friends is undoubtedly an unhappy person. Benjamin Franklin concluded this wise saying with At least you will, by such conduct, stand the best chance for such consequences. No one knows for certain what the future holds in store, but the person who decides what his course is to be and proceeds toward his goal wisely, will have the best opportunity for happiness. Good luck to all of you. Marie Ann Mannella CHARACTER IN OUR FUTURE Tonight we the Senior Class are leaving high school to follow our many separate paths in life. Each of us will strive for success. Character will be a determinant in our potential for success. Having already drawn the blue print in home, church, and school, we now must further the building of our characters through our careers or vocations. Many of us will enter college or seek training in other specialized fields. We will be trained in concentration and in the ability to apply our minds to occupations which require much learning. In our training we will acquire skills and develop the capacity for leadersh ip. We will have to devote ourselves to our studies and desire to learn all that we can. Others of our class will enter the armed forces. Here they will receive training in discipline and in close living with many other people. They will have the oppor¬ tunity to gain the ability to carry out orders of many types. Still others will follow vocations and establish homes. They will face responsibil¬ ities requiring macurity. Through steadfastness in their work, taking part in com¬ munity affairs, and raising their families, they can acquire the type of character needed in our country. In all of these fields our growth toward maturity will depend upon the wealth of relationship with others. In our contacts with other people we will learn sportsman¬ ship and patience. In a world full of many types we will become appreciative of the strong and tolerant of the weak. There are other ways we will acquire good character. Through our churches we will continue to grow in faith and moral strength. In participating in the activities of our communities we will acquire pride and a feeling for our civic duty. Through reading newspapers and books dealing with government and current events, we will enlarge our understanding of the world and thus of our own country. Only through trial and error will we find our places in the world. Through perseverance and steadfastness we will attain the success we deserve. Our class motto, ' Character is the cornerstone of success,” is a good one. All of us should remember it and strive to improve our characters so that we may become honored and respected citizens.

Along with this increased enrollment came six new teachers — Mr. Walter Bradley, music; Mr. James Hanley, science; Mr. Edward Muska, typing and civics; Mr. William Price, mathematics; and Mr. Clifford Randall and Mr. Paul Thibodeau, industrial arts. Mr. Brown moved to the post of Guidance Director. Througl ' .out the year students and faculty entered into varied activities. On November 13 teachers and members of the Student Council were on hand to meet the public as they came to the annual Open House. On January 14 and 15 the State Board of Education conducted an evaluation of the entire school. The administration, students and faculty had spent much time preparing for this event, and the two days were filled with numerous organized activities. The School Science Fair, sponsored by the Windsor Locks Teachers Association, was well supported by the student body. Although the judges found it difficult to name only three winners in each division, junior and senior, they finally awarded first prize in the Senior Division to Joseph Kelly; second, to Douglas Underhill; and third, to Elizabeth Glemboski and Carol Sicbaldi. In the Junior Division first honors went to Donald and Fred McLeod; second, to Edward Reardon; and third, to Carl Richards and John Kierukystys. To raise money for the Parent Teachers Association Scholarship Fund, the faculty staged a basketball game with the high school varsity. After several hours of practice, the faculty was raring to go. The night of the game they were ahead until the last quarter, and then they lost by a small margin. Also to obtain money, the faculty put on the play You Cant Take It With You , a very successful endeavor. On May 9 the annual Career Day schedule included; Mr. Francis Gardiner F. Budge, Director of Admission, Trinity College— Preparation for College”; Mr. Murray J. Carter, Student Counsellor, Hartford Regional Technical School — Skilled Occupations Requiring Technical School Preparations”; Mr. George C. Craig — Com¬ mercial Opportunities Requiring Business College Preparation”; Mr. Osborne Laws, Travelers Insurance — Commercial Opportunities after Graduation from High School”; Mr. Joseph S. Tripp, Pratt and Whitney Aircraft— Employment in Local Industry”; and Mr. W. Buckingham, Sage-Alien Company — Employment as a Retail Sales¬ person.” After the lectures, refreshments were served in the cafeteria where the students had the opportunity to talk informally with these speakers. During the course of the school year the students were entertained at various assemblies. These assemblies included: two films, A Bell for Adano and It Happens Every Spring; the American Pantomimist, Harry Barton; the Music Department’s Christmas Sing and Music Festival; a one-act play by the Wilohi Dramatic Club; Immortal Characters of Literature,” presented by Hedley Hepworth; and, to complete an entertaining and educational series, the Senior Assembly.

Backed by Bob Zace, Bill Cole, Ed Arrighini, Bob Vaitukaitis, Peter Lingua, and Donny Poulin, they went into the eighteen-game season. The loss of the second game to a tall Granby team only seemed to fire up the team as they went on to win the rest of the games in the first half of the season. They continued the winning streak as they went into the second half. The return game with Granby was much waited for. By using a full court press through most of the game, the Raiders were able to come out as the victors. They played the rest of the half without a loss. This finished the regular season and gave the Raiders a record of 37 straight wins in league play. Windsor Locks again won the Central Valley C title as in the last 4 years. The team entered the tournament again this year, hoping to take the Connecticut Championship; but even though the first two games were won with little difficulty, a strong Woodbury team was able to go ahead in overtime and win in the semi-finals. But the Varsity snapped back to win against the faculty in a game to raise money for the scholarship fund, and the year ended on a victorious note. ON THE DIAMOND In April, Coach Shapiro assisted by Mr. O’Brien, called tryouts for the baseball team. Their selection of Ken Baldwin, Dick Meek, Jim McKenna, Richard Cole, Peter Lingua, Donny Poulin, Tommy Stewart, Bob Vaitukaitis, Ray Carlson, Ed Arrighini, Charles Sidway, Buddy Staiger, and Jackie Broderick made up the team. Although practice went well the luck did not hold out. Following the first game, the weather took a turn for the worse as the rain stopped all play for over a week.
