Tall and dark . with a head of bushy, curly hair that must cause every bald-headed man to blush with shame . and every straight-haired lady to cry to heaven against such a mal- distribution of nature's gifts . "Amby" was one of our better intramuralites . being a stellar and versatile performer in prac- tically every form of intramural activity ... In football a passer and pass-snatcher of dreaded ability . Important link on his corridor basketball team . and a member of at least one championship five . Slugging first baseman with the will and power to stretch for them . "Amby's" most beloved indoor di- version is cards ... no matter what the game . Bridge, how- ever, is one of his favorites . The most welcome gifts he re- ceives are razor blades . for among his possessions is perhaps the heaviest beard outside of Russia . Whatever "Amby's" calling, he goes forth from Holy Cross well-equipped for the rough-and-tumble life of a rough-and-tumble world. cMaly Qi&M, College ADRIAN PAUL DRIGGS, A.B. 314 Eighth Avenue Brooklyn, New York Brooklyn Preparatory School Brooklyn, N.

Lincoln, Hamil- ton, Lee and Portland, Maine . enamored of his trench coat . the brunt of Professors' jokes and the brain of Professors' classes ... a dapper, dependable daguerreo-type of the "compleat man" . member of the intellectual elite . according to his own testimony he has read "part" of every worthwhile book in English literature . shies at Sanskrit ... as energetic Managing Editor of the Tomahawk, his services were indispensable ... as a jour- nalist he also was father of "Campus Figures," step-father of "Over The Quad" . slated to bestow his genius on Wall Street . a tennis star of parts and the slingin' Sammy Baugh of touch foot- ball . canny bridge partner . known affectionately as old A. P.; Ade; A. P. D. and Driggsy! ... to top all his accomplish- ments, he is the best room-mate in the business . ask the man who roomed with him .

"Digby" Dunn . intramural athlete and authority on eco- nomics . All seasons found him ready for some sport or other ... in fall, a triple-threat man with an uncanny knack for snatch- ing passes ... in winter, a dazzling "goalie" on the class hockey team . spring saw him holding down almost any position on the baseball field . His most beloved study was Economics . perhaps the passing years will reveal Paul or "Digby" as one of our captains of industry . if so he will certainly show us something unique in office decorations . for Paul's room ex- hibited an amazing variety of posters, from a skating party at Lake Placid to a beach scene at Miami . posters, posters, every- where . except on the ceiling . and they probably would have been there were it not for the steadying influence of his roommate . But "Digby" was ever the optimist . and per- haps he hoped some day to visit all the places his posters made famous . let's hope his dreams come true! y cMcu? Gi&iA GoUeae, HENRY AMBROSE DUNPHY, B.S.

Passed his first college days at St. Anselm's . enrolled at H. C. in sophomore and has had no regrets . "Skip" ... A perfect score of poems submitted and accepted by the Purple . recog- nition in the Purple Anthology . narrative lyrics and odes flow easily . the collection of his best lines would make a best seller . knows hundreds of ballads and has invented as many more ... A nomad by nature . every vacation means a trip and more entertaining adventures ... an awesome array of photographs . without a doubt has led the most varied and interesting life in the class ... a nature lover . likes woods, hunting and fishing . enthused follower of all sports . Philosopher with a wealth of common sense developed more than the average . nobody knows all about him . we probably couldn't remember it all . virile humor . courage and de- termination best describe him . and they will bring him a glorious career in medical surgery.

Hector attributes his curly hair to the fact that he never wears a hat . always made the daily run from his home town in record time . creased many a fender in so doing . He has always been a standout on the intramural baseball dia- mond, especially when he displayed hi9 wares as a first baseman ... a well known figure on the campus, who had a cheery word for one and all ... in Philosophy and Education classes he was ever prepared with the matter . possesses out-standing business ability . Hector's humorous jests and pranks added joy to the noon hours in the Cafeteria . although not a full-fledged Wor- cesterite, the Worcester Club had him on its roster, and he proved ^*I to be a worthy member . The "fairest" in Marlboro succumbed to his winning manner . the business world beckons to "Hec," and we know that it will profit by his apt qualities . one thing that we are certain of is that Hector will always "come smiling thru." cMo-Ui Q>ugAA, Galley FREDERICK CHARLES J.

Little thinking is necessary to recall who it was that was so non- chalant in the teeth of the fiercest exams . Fred's arctic calm was due to an intelligence which quickly comprehended the matter . and invariably resulted in high honors . The scion of St. Louis' proud heritage of culture and the fulness of living . who sacrificed a broken leg for First Beaven on the altar of intra- mural football . Memorable are his Blakesian flights of poetry for the Purple . his radical conservatism ... a vocabulary that would vie with Webster's . his dissensions in the Cross and Scroll . his sudden flaming into a light of the social world ... A master of understatement . Classicist . Poet . Es- sayist . Student of Literature . Psychologist, thinking deep and fearful thoughts . One-time President of the History Academy which blossomed under his penetrating guidance . Champion swimmer . music-lover ... In fine he was .

Light . buoyant . not afflicted by serious moods ... a twinkle of the eye and a peal of laughter ever accompanied him . tense atmosphere and grave situations were quicky eased by Jerry's presence . keen wit and good humor won those with whom he came in contact . came to Worcester at the start of Freshman year . attended military school in the capital city of New York State . his former home . envy of the entire school in Sohomore year upon his return from a Christmas vaca- tion in Florida . sported a tan throughout the rest of the winter . known by every intramuralite as equipment dispenser . "first come—first served" his motto in all situations . ever prominent in Worcester Club activities . served both on the Easter Dance Committee and promoted the Football Smoker during the past season . outstanding in finance and business courses . ever ready to admit an error . reluctant to concede a point until convinced . convincing in himself . and in his fortune in futures .

  • Our Time Is Now!
    Our Time Is Now! 2020 - 2021 Torrington High School Superintendent Sue Lubomski We are so excited to welcome you to Torrington High School! There are so many opportunities for all students. Our dedicated teachers and staff are ready for you! Many of them are alumni themselves. At THS, we are proud of our school and the level of excellence our students achieve in academics, the arts and athletics. Our district vision is “Torrington Public Schools will ensure every student is able to graduate with the skills and attributes that empower them to enter the college or career of their choosing.” On Tuesday, November 3, 2020, the town voted in favor of the THS/TMS Building Project. During this 2.5 year process that led us to the referendum and subsequent vote, we began to focus on those courses and changes that could support our district vision and began to dream about and plan for what could be. The benefit to our incoming freshman will be that we have already started integrating courses that are aligned with our Pathways, such as engineering, sports medicine, drones, coding, soldering, sports science, introduction to investment banking, creativity and conflict, local history, and yoga. More courses are being developed this year. As a THS student, you will be a part of Torrington’s legacy as the first class to graduate from our newly constructed building as the Class of 2025! Our Pathways were created by surveying students about their interests. Local businesses, organizations and agencies also provided input on their employment needs, so that they could help our students find jobs within our own community during and after high school or after college.
