FOREWORD
Manchester has not always been
as it is today. As changes occur,
new landmarks appear and be-
come familiar to its townspeople.
As in all thriving towns, it has
taken many unselfish and willing
hands to build the "City of Village
Charm" where we live, and work,
and play together.
"Buildings and landmarks"

DEDICATION
This 1955 Somanhis is dedi-
cated to the town of Manchester
and its people, past, present, and
future. What is the town but the
people who have worked to make
it what it now is? Landmarks, fa-
miliar to us, are monuments to
the great efforts of men in times
past and present.
"To us are symbols of home."

GLASS WORKS - In 1783,

HALL OF RECORDS - Built
in 1895. It was the gift of

when it was made a branch
of the Municipal Building.
STONE AT THE GREEN -
In memory of a public
taven built around 1794.

SOMANHIS STAFF
Responsible for compiling the 1955 edition of So-
manhis, the Somanhis Staff combined great care and con-
centration to have a yearbook that was good, yet dif-
ferent.
Miss lone Fellows advised and directed the editorial
staff. The members worked hard to get the senior sta-
tistics, club write-ups, running commentary, "Who's Who",
quotations, candids, and layout of the yearbook together.
Working jointly with the editorial staff was the So-
manhis Art Staff. Directed by Miss Hope Henderson, the
art staff members drew, sketched, planned, and found
new ideas to carry out the theme of the book.
The staff members attended the Connecticut Scholas-
tic Press Conference held in Milford in October. They re-
ceived valuable pointers for the production of Somanhis.
However, their biggest thrill of all the year was the ap-
pearance of the yearbook, Somanhis, in May.
The officers for 1955 were Robert Ososki, Editor-in-
chief, and Carolyn Robert, Secretary.

SOMANHIS
ADVERTISING STAFF
The Somanhis Advertising Staff, under the direction of
Mr. Edward Ryder, worked hard this year as always, to
solicit and obtain advertisements for the yearbook.
The members of the staff sold to the merchants of
Manchester, advertising space, so that the price of So-
manhis might be the same as last year. Due to the suc-
cess of these "salesmen" the low price of Somanhis was
maintained and all student purchasers received the bene-

QUILL
Quill, a literary magazine, is published twice a
year by the Quill Staff, under the direction of Miss
Marion Casey.
The Quill Staff criticizes and edits student written
material. It encourages creative work in various
ways, particularly by sponsoring a yearly contest in
which cash prizes are awarded for the best upper-
class and underclass poetry and prose.
Members of the staff themselves do considerable
original writing and exchange criticisms concerning
it at staff meetings, though this is not an obligation
for staff participation. Purely social meetings are
also held two or three times a year.
Officers for the year were: Editor-in-chief, Cynthia
Dunlap; Secretary, Karolyn Kaye.

LIBRARY CLUB
The Library Club, under the direction of Mrs.
Evelyn Gerard, carried on an active program this
year in spite of the double sessions. Meeting twice
a month, the members received instructions in the
library field and learned how to check books, shelve
them, file cards, make out overdue notices, process
new books, and help students with reference work.
The two main ideals of the club were to train the
members as library aides and to teach them how to
use a library for their own needs.
The annual field trip to Yale was taken in the
Spring. The "pages" visited the Sterling Memorial
Library at Yale University, and later, at New Haven
State Teachers College, met with other library clubs
that belong to the state organization, Nutmeg 020.
Officers for the year '54-'55 were: Jane Kassler,
president; Josephine Leone, Vice-President; Merle
Swallow, secretary; Jane Ames, treasurer.

On October eleventh, an assembly debate con-
cerning the 1954 national elections was presented
to all sessions. This was held in co-operation with
the Current Affairs Club which presented its bi-an-
nual election.
In May, the club participated in the annual Scho-
lastic Debate Meeting at the University of Connecti-
cut. They debated the national topic "Resolved: That
''Young citizens are—"
the United States should initiate free trade among
the free nations of the world."
Other activities in which the club took part were
debates with Hartford, Stratford, and South Hadley
High Schools; and in October of 1954, they journey-
ed to Hartford to see and hear President Eisenhower
deliver an address to the people.
The purpose of the club is to train students to
think clearly, to organize their thoughts, and to
present them persuasively. The club helps its mem-
bers in public speaking by giving them an oppor-
tunity to develop poise and confidence.

Under the direction of Mr. G. Albert Pearson, the
Round Table Singers provided programs of singing

also took part in the annual Christmas Concert pre-
sented by the students who sing in the choirs of
Manchester High School, and appeared on tele-
vision for the first time. They helped to make the
Spring Concert another success.
Since it is an organization smaller than the
choirs, the members become less dependent upon
their neighbors for guidance in singing and thus in-
crease their skill in group singing.

FRESHMEN CHOIR
The increased number of students desiring a musical course at Manchester
High School, has hastened the creation of two separate freshman boys' and girls'
choirs, besides an afternoon sophomore choir. Under the direction of Mr. G. Al-
bert Pearson, the afternoon session students have the opportunity to prepare them-
selves for A Cappella Choir.
The underclass choirs took part in the concerts of the high school, and
undertook an evening of the Christmas Concert to show their own achievements
in singing.

MANCHESTER HIGH SCHOOL
BAND
The Manchester High School Band, under the leader-
ship of Mr. William J. Vaders, presented a wide variety of
music to the students and to the citizens of Manchester.
A "must" in every good high school is a band. Man-
chester is very fortunate in having one of the best high school
bands in the state. The band performed at all the home foot-
ball and basketball games. It was a source of entertainment
throughout the year, and was credited with arousing much
school spirit at sports rallies and games.
The annual Band Concert was held May 10th. Jazz,
popular, semi-popular, and march music was presented at
the time.
Irene Boudreau, captain, led the majorettes at various
social and school functions during the year.
The band concluded its year with an annual picnic.

SCIENCE CLUB
The Science Club achieved its usual success this year
under the guidance of Mr. Anthony Alibrio. Meetings were
held in 36M every Monday afternoon. During the club
meeting the students gave lectures on scientific topics and
presented short chemical demonstrations. Field trips were
taken to the Ericson Laboratory in Willimantic, to a New
York Submarine Base, to the American Cyanamide Com-
pany in Stamford, and to the Chevrolet Assembly Plant
in Tarrytown, New York. The Science Club also planned
and conducted the annual Science Fair which has been
held each March.
The main object of the club was to further interest
in science at Manchester High School, and to plan and
carry out the Science Fair in order to stimulate more stu-
dent interest in science in the lower grades.
Officers for the year were: President, Richard Morri-
son; Vice-President and Treasurer, Raymond Kasevich;
and Secretary, Nancy Slover.

STAMP CLUB
The Manchester High School Stamp Club
was directed by Mr. Raymond Korbusieski. The
club met twice a month in order to maintain
an interest in, and to trade stamps. Some of
the members attended an annual Stamp Ex-
hibition held in New York City in November.
Other activities they enjoyed at their meet-
ings were stamp hunts and stamp auctions.

FRENCH CLUB
The "little Frenchmen" of Miss Low's and Miss
Todd's French Clubs had an active year in 1954-55.
Having a chance to learn about France, her cus-
toms, and people, the students developed a different
aspect of the French language. They learned many
things that could not be found in books, and saw
much of France through the telescope of Audio-
Visual Aids.
Conducting the meetings in French with roll call
and a secretary's report in French, meetings helped
the members to perfect their skill in speaking the
language. The class room point of view was dropped
and the members were responsible for the success
of the meeting. Through the French Club, the mem-
bers gained a practical knowledge of a language
in action.

LES CERCLES FRANCAIS
French Clubs of Miss Jeanne Low's French II and
French III classes have seen many films and slides
depicting the life and customs of French people.
Some club meetings consisted of the presentation
of skits in French, reports in French on music and
art, and other aspects of French civilizations. These
meetings also gave the opportunity for the hearing
and singing of French songs which helped in the
pronunciation and understanding of the language. It
is hoped that, through these meetings, there can be
more practice in the language and also, greater
knowledge of the country and people can be ac-
quired.

Spanish I Club, under the guidance of
Mr. George Dougherty and Mr. Michael
Guadano, was formed to acquaint first year
Spanish students with life among the Span-
ish speaking peoples of the world — their
customs, traditions and governments.
By viewing slides and movies, the mem-
bers found pleasure in learning. Pronuncia-
tion records and group singing records also
provided a pleasant diversion for club mem-
bers.

SPANISH II AND III
The Spanish II and III clubs, under the direction of
Miss Beulah Todd and Mr. George Dougherty, held
their monthly meetings during class periods. The
third year club purchased the Spanish newspaper
"La Luz" for bi-monthly meetings devoted to Spanish
current events, the reading of a continued story, and
drill on practical Spanish vocabulary. For their
Christmas program the club presented "La Posada,"
a one-act play, followed by a social in the form of
"La Pinata." All clubs viewed and discussed the films
"Mexico City" and "Mexico Builds a Democracy."
Other meetings utilized Spanish pronunciation rec-
ords, records for group singing, and tape recordings.
For the second semester the program co-chairmen
planned movies and colored slides, as well as games
and skits, to portray the Spanish way of life, and to
use and comprehend the Spanish language.

The purpose of this Student Council, besides letting the students
participate in their own government, is to aid in planning school
policies, to help unify and support extra-curricular activities, and
to further in all ways the best interests of the school.
Meetings were held twice a month under the guidance of
Mr. George Emmerling, faculty adviser. A representative and an
alternate from each homeroom was elected by the students
on the basis of his leadership and responsibility. Each council
member was assigned to one of the committees which carry out
social affairs, drives, and other school activities.
The Council promoted successful activities which best in-
terested the students. This year the Council sponsored weekly
sport dances, and one of the highlights of the school year was
the Manchester High School Prom. The annual campaigns, such
as the S.A.A., the Junior Red Cross, the March of Dimes, and the
Library Tag Day, were successfully conducted. Besides conduct-
ing drives and social activities, members of the Council and the
officers of the four classes took part in student assemblies.
This student government body opened the minds of the
students and helped to lead the way to our ideal democratic
type of government.
Officers for the 1954-55 year were: President, Robert Buck-
ley; Vice-President, Thomas Smith; Secretary, Olga Brondolo;
Treasurer, George Dormer.

discussion on teen-age problems at a meeting of
the Home-School Council.
The annual Induction held in the spring pointed
up the purposes of the National Honor Society — to
create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a de-
sire to rendei service, to promote worthy leadership,
and to encourage development of character.

CHEERLEADERS
Cheering played an important part in our victorious athletic meets this year. The
Cheerleaders, under the direction of Miss Julia Case, planned new cheers, taught them
to the students in pep assemblies, and introduced to the student body two male cheer-
leaders. This was the first time in the history of cheering that two boys belonged to the
pep squad at the same time.
With a squad consisting of eleven members, four seniors and seven juniors, they
encouraged the student body to cheer their Indians on to victory. Faithful to their task,
they attended all the football, soccer, and basketball games. One cannot help realiz-
ing how much our Cheerleaders added to the spirit of Manchester High School.

BASKETBALL
In the beginning of the season the Indians, under Coach
Elgin Zatursky, showed many signs of a winning team. They
slowed down during mid-season giving their fans very little to
cheer about. Although they were out of the C. C. I. L. they still
had a chance to get into the state tournament. The Indians be-
gan to show some spark again near the last of the season, win-
ning three games in a row. The last game of the season, with
New London, was to determine whether or not they would enter
the state tournament. They lost by four points.
Although they won no great honors the team worked well
together and showed very good sportsmanship. The school record
for scoring was broken by Meredith Morhardt, a senior. David
Turkington, Eddie Woejeck, and Norm Hohenthal will be left
for the varsity next year. Some of the jayvees also showed
promising signs for the future. The Jayvee team had a good sea-

SOCCER
The Manchester High booters accomplished an excellent record
in the 1954 season, capturing the C. C. I. L. championship for the third
year in a row. The Indians' record totaled 8 wins, 2 losses and 3 ties.
The ties were at the hands of Hall High 1-1, Newington 1-1, and
Promfret Prep 2-2. The losses were both at the hands of Wethersfield,
1954 State Champs, 0-3 and 1-4. The scores of the games won are:
Bristol 3-0, 2-0; Meriden 3-1, 3-0; Rockville 3-1; Ellsworth 1-0; Hall
High 2-0 and Norwalk 2-0 in the state tournament semi-finals.
Co-captains James Kuhlmann and Robert Buckley did a fine job in
helping the team along the road to victory. The team was coached by
Mr. Richard Danielson.
The Jayvee soccer squad, under Coach John Palmer, also did a
good job with 4 wins and 3 losses. The Jayvee co-captains were James
Lindsay and Dana Austin.

During the 1955 swimming season, the Manchester High Ducks
had established, up to press time, a 5 win, 1 loss record. The team de-
feated: Portland, 47-20; Meriden, 36-31; Bulkeley, 52-15; Bristol, 45-22;
and Middletown, 43-24. The closest meet of the season was lost to the
State and New England Champions, Sacred Heart of Waterbury, 35-
32. The deciding figure of victory was 3" in the last relay. This test
was the closest in 70 duck meets for the Sacred Heart tankers.
The Stalwarts of the '55 season yere-. George Dormer and Ed-
ward Stiles, backstroke; Robert Smith and David Bell, breaststroke,-
Forbes Warren and Roger Lord, 200-yard freestyle; Bruce Anderson
and Thomas Smith, 40-yard freestyle; Co-captains John Leander and
Salvatore Squatrito, 100-yard freestyle; and Peter Grady, Dominic

the Rifle team this year had much to live up to, since the team cap-
tured the State Championship last year. At press time, a record of
seven wins and two losses was held by the Indian gunners; C. C. I. L.
honors are already being taken for granted, since the local marksmen
swept all the first round C. C. I. L. matches by top-heavy scores, and
_ _. . . the "B" team was expected to be able to complete a similar record in
Center Fire Station r 1
the second round of matches.
The annual C. C. I. L. Individual Championships were also ex-
pected to be easy "pickings" for the fired-up Indians; league cham-
pion Thomas Flaherty will fire again, and Arthur Shorts and Jon Har-
rison are certain to gain winning berths. All three of the above boys
are members of the team that captured the State Championship last
year.
A new record for prone team firing was set in the Middletown
match in February; the 494 total fired by Arthur Shorts, Ned Brodeur,
Jon Harrison, Robert Miller, and William Handler bests the old mark
of 493 set in 1953. Other records are in danger as the fast-moving
latter half of the season gets under way.
A half dozen capable sophomores and a trio of top-notch juniors
assure the team of successful competition again next year. Captain
Thomas Flaherty and "Veep" Arthur Shorts are the veterans who will
graduate.

Under the leadership of Mr. Lawrence Perry,

son by capturing the C. C. I. L. title, as well as the
state championship. The "Linksmen" completed their
season with eight wins in C. C. I. L. competition and
with only a one-half point loss to Meriden. A dou-
ble win over Wethersfield, outside the league, added
to their victories. During the '54 season, the team
The tennis team, under Coach Richard Danielson,
scored four victories and lost six games in their
1954 season. In the C. C. I. L. matches they finished
third.
Mickey Fendell was accredited with playing out-
standing tennis for the team.

GIRLS’ SPORTS
Some of the many sports activities offered for girls
were soccer, speedball, archery, bowling, square dancing,
and basketball. With the double sessions, the number of
participants in these sports has increased greatly. A new
sport, speedball, was added to take the place of tennis.
Speedball is similar to soccer in many ways. The
main difference is that in speedball, when the ball is in
the air, a player may catch it and pass it as in basketball,
until it hits the ground again. Then it is played just as in
soccer, using the feet only.
Archery and bowling are two other sports. Archery
was held in both the spring and fall. Bowling was held
three days a week in the winter and one day a week in
the spring.
Volleyball, softball, tumbling, and square dancing
were also popular. Round Robin tournaments were often
staged between the different volleyball and softball teams.
There was also a Round Robin tournament held in basket-
ball. The A.M. captains this year were: Mona Modean, Gail
Bowers, Mary Moriarty, Grace Tarpinian, Cynthia Prior,
Frances Obremski, and Sylvia Fisher. Mona Modean's
team was the top team, with four wins and no losses, and
Gail Bowers' team took second place with four wins and
one loss. The captains of the teams in the P. M. tourna-
ment were: Judy Biardi, Karin Lenhardt, Patricia Kingman,
Joan Ivenson, and Jacqueline Durandi. Karin Lenhardt's
team took first place with seven wins and two losses, by
beating Team II three games in the last round. Judy Bi-
ardi's team took second place also with seven wins and
two losses.
GIRLS LEADERS’ CLUB
Girls Leaders' Club, under the direction of Miss Julia
Case and Miss Martha Peterson, Physical Education teach-
ers at Manchester High School, is a club designed for en-
thusiastic sportswomen at M. H. S. Its aim is to promote in-
terest in sports, and to develop initiative, leadership, and
responsibility.
Any sophomore, junior, or senior girl, interested in
sports, who possessed responsibility to aid the teachers in
conducting classes, who achieved a grade of B in physical
education, and C in academic subjects, and who partici-
pated in one extra-curricular sport a season was eligible
for membership. A girl received 50 points for being a
leader. As one of its social activities the Girls Leaders'
Club planned and held a Sports' Day with Windham and
New Britain High Schools on March 19th.
Serving as officers for the past year were: President,
Mona Modean; Vice-President, Peggy Lynch; Secretary-
Treasurer, Frances Obremski. Bette-Ann White served as
chairman of the point system.
