Andrew Warde High School Hockey History: A Look Back at the First Year in 1972

The Fairfield Warde High School Mustangs' ice hockey team reached the state championship game for the first time in school history this year.

However, the foundation of the Warde hockey program was constructed 36 years ago when Arnie Larsen, the school's first hockey coach, organized a team midway through the 1972 season.

This is the first of a five-part series on the early years of Andrew Warde High School's hockey program. Today we take a closer look at the first year, including the first team meeting, the first win, and how some of the players saved the life of a young girl.

Arnie Larsen looks like he could lace up his skates today and hit the ice. Mr. Larsen, now 80 years young, and his wife, Leah, stopped by my home to give me a scrapbook of the first few years of Warde hockey, complete with photos, stories, statistics, and anecdotes.

They had seen the story which appeared in this corner last week about this year's Fairfield Warde Mustangs and the 1976 Crimson Eagles' hockey teams, and they wanted to share the history of the team with me.

Mr. Larsen, the original coach of the Andrew Warde High School hockey team, is the person most responsible for getting the sport off the ground and onto the ice in 1972. The first year required many sacrifices, such as late-night practices, long road trips, and many fund-raising efforts, but the coach and his players succeeded because of their passion for hockey and their high school.

According to a typewritten letter dated Friday, February 25, 1972, Mr. Larsen wrote, "With the cooperation of the school, a hockey club will be formed this year. Practice sessions will start within the next week depending on ice availability."

Mr. Larsen added, "There is no question that this can be a successful venture, but it will take effort and cooperation from the parents and the students. We have the cooperation of the school, and Mr. Stone has indicated his full support for this activity."

The first club meeting was held that very same day with 19 boys in attendance. The first practice took place at Ridgefield on Monday, February 28, at 9:30 p.m. Although the Crimson Eagles dropped a 7-2 decision against Ridgefield in their first-ever hockey game on March 8, 1972, the team responded with a 6-1 victory over Katonah just two days later.

Defenseman Al Huebner played an excellent game for Warde as he scored two goals in the victory over Katonah. Center Ken Caplan, wingmen Bruce Lazar and John Grannis, and defenseman Bob Losch each netted a goal for the winners. The Eagles were aided by freshman defenseman Mike Pajolek, while junior Todd McEvily and freshman Bob Qunitiliani each turned in strong performances in the nets.

According to a Fairfield Citizen article, "Following in the footsteps of Roger Ludlowe High School, Andrew Warde successfuly launched its first hockey team this past season. Under the guidance and tutelage of Mr. A. W. Larsen, the team was formed and is playing on an independent basis.

"Their lone win was against a team from Katonah, New York, while their two defeats were at the hands of the Ridgefield and Bridgeport Bantams. Besides these games, though, a Spring hockey program is scheduled every week at the Harvey School in Katonah during the months of April, May, and June."

Trophies were presented at the awards ceremony at the end of the season to Ken Caplan and Andy Larsen as the team's leading scorers, John Grammis and Bob Losch for best defensemen, Bob Quintiliani as the top goaltender, and John Wagner as the most improved player.

As an independent club, the team was entirely self-supporting through fund drives, such as the selling of booster tickets and car washes. However, the biggest story of the year may have happened not "on the ice," but "in the ice." Team members, primarily freshmen and sophomore boys, received notoriety by saving the life of a young girl that year.

In an article published in the Lake Hills Pow Wow, one family wished to gratefully thank the two anonymous hockey players who saved an 11-year-old girl from a lake's icy water on February 5th. Without warning, the ice made a sudden crackling sound, and then opened, pluging the girl in over her head.

The Pow Wow article states, "These hockey players probably belonged to the team that Arnie Larsen iced for outdoor practice sessions on our lake this past month. They are the nucleus of the new Andrew Warde High School hockey club that Arnie has volunteered to form, coach, train, etc. Sounds like a big job, but the ex-St. Lawrence star has 1,000 booster bumper stickers and has vowed to stick one on every car in Lake Hills. We hope he does!"

Arnie Larsen and the 19 boys made tremendous sacrifices that first year due to their love of hockey. The team gelled quickly, and the Andrew Warde High School Crimson Eagles hockey team was born.

Andrew Warde High School Class of 1976 Alumnus Returns to Coach Mustangs' JV Baseball Team

Even though it's been 32 years since he graduated from Andrew Warde High School, Dante Gallucci is looking forward to returning to the Melville Avenue campus once again. Only this time, he's coaching the Warde junior varsity baseball squad.

"I'm very excited about coaching at Warde," Dante told me. "You know, I started out coaching because I loved baseball, and I wanted to coach my kid. What I never counted on was the relationships you develop with other kids. Some of these players I've had since they were six or seven, and they have become a big part of my life."

The junior varsity team, which includes his son, John, plays its first scrimmage of the season this afternoon at 4 o'clock against FCIAC rival Trumbull. The JV Mustangs open the regular season next Wednesday, April 2, against Bunnell High School of Stratford at Tunxis Hill Park at 3:45. It's the first of 19 regular-season games.

So how did he get involved with Warde baseball? "I had been coaching first softball, and then baseball for over twenty years," he pointed out. That included Little League, the all-stars, the Nationals, and Fairfield's first AAU team. "One day the (Warde) head coach, Mark Caron, came down to the field and told me they were shorthanded, and could I help them out. After thinking it over for two or three seconds, I'm there."

He is thrilled to be coaching his son at the same high school he attended. "I told myself that this was just another team, but last year, the first time I was in the locker room dressing next to Ted Merrill and talking to Bengy (Ed Bengermino), I was thinking, 'How the hell did I get here?' It was a little surreal. Then you realize, 'Hey, I've got a job to do.' It's not about me, it's about the kids.

"Here's the thing: when you are at your old high school, and your kid is at that high school, you feel a bit like Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future. You know what's going to happen. Should you tell them? So I find myself there, but trying not to alter the course of events, which is tricky."

Dante, who will be at the Meet the Spring Coaches event Tuesday evening at 7 o'clock in the library lecture room, continues to serve as president of the Fairfield National Little League, and under his guidance the league has thrived.

"I started out with Fairfield National in the late 90s coaching T-Ball," he said. "I saw a league that was nothing like the National League I played with in the 60s. Parents were running the show. We had 300 kids and about ten sponsors. We were $2,000 in the hole, and I had to put our stuff on my credit card that first year.

"When I took over the next year, I decided we were going to get back, if you will. Today we have 625 players on 51 teams, 51 sponsors, and over $130,000.00 in the bank. I gave a good part of my life to National, and I stay because I love it. I'm proud of the people who work around me and who got us back to teaching baseball, and mixing in some old-fashioned values at the same time."

His teams have enjoyed tremendous success over the years. "I had a great all star group over the years, going 38-9 and winning three annual tournaments in four years," he pointed out. "We established Fairfield National's first 13-15 (year old) teams, also playing as AAU. That team played not only locally, but in regional and a couple of national tournaments. We came in second in the Northeast Regionals last year. Not bad for a little town. We are hoping this produces a feeder system for the high school."

Dante is a practicing attorney in Fairfield; a career which captured his attention at an early age. "I became a lawyer because it looked like a cool job on TV," he admitted. "After going to UConn and Suffolk Law in Boston, I've spent 25 years serving as Assistant Attorney General for the State of Connecticut. In private practice I've handled thousands of criminal and juvenile offender cases, including 17 murder trials. They were not like TV."

The 1976 Andrew Warde High School graduate met his wife, Sheila (Ryan), while they were working at Fairway Beef during his senior year at Warde. "She went to Ludlowe, but we overcame it," he joked. "We've been together since." They have two children. John is 15 and a freshmen at Warde. Caroline will be 14, and she is a soccer and tennis player. She will be attending Warde next year.

The Warde JV baseball team hosts Ludlowe's JV squad on Wednesday, May 7, at 4 o'clock at Tunxis Hill Park. I'm sure he and his family are very much looking forward to that game.

"Many people would say that you can't go home again," Dante said. "I've been down a lot of long and winding roads, and like baseball, they always lead me home."

Good luck with the Warde JV Mustangs' baseball team this year.

Andrew Warde High School Class of 1976 Vice President Honored by Connecticut Technology Council as "Innovative & Outstanding" Role Model

Andrew Warde High School Class of 1976 vice president Debbie Kamlani Moss was honored as one of "eight innovative, outstanding women across Connecticut" during the fourth annual Women of Innovation awards dinner January 30 at the Aqua Turf Club in Southington.

The awards program, sponsored by the Connecticut Technology Council, recognizes women in the workforce who are innovators, role models, and leaders in technology, science, and engineering fields.

Debbie, pictured second-from-right below with Connecticut Governor M. Jodi Rell to her immediate right, is chairman and founder of Avalence, LLC, in Milford, which was founded on renewable energy solutions. Her talented engineering team has developed reliable and cost-effective hydrogen-generating equipment to provide emission-free fuel.

The "Hydrofiller," requiring only water and power as feedstock, is a novel power plant solution which utilizes renewable energy to produce hydrogen gas by electrolysis. The hydrogen gas is used for transportation fueling and in industrial settings for premium power and extended backup power applications.

Debbie, a member of the AWHS Class of 1976 30-year reunion committee, is also co-founder of E-Magazine (click on image below), an independent environmentally-conscious consumer magazine published by her husband in Norwalk. She currently resides in Westport.

"Each year, we are in awe of award winners' outstanding accomplishments," said Matthew Nemerson, president and CEO of the Connecticut Technology Council. "Connecticut has extraordinary people at its technology companies. We are proud to offer an awards program that honors exceptional innovators and leaders and provides them with a professional network of other women who strive for excellence."

The keynote speaker of the event, Sigal Zarmi, CIO and quality officer of GE Corporate Financial Services, addressed the approximately 550 attendees at the awards dinner. Her speech focused on bridging the "curiosity gap" in the United States.

She urged audience members to help by supporting the state's education system, breaking down existing stereotypes of scientists and other innovators.

Congratulations, Debbie. The AWHS Class of 1976 is extremely proud of you.

Andrew Warde & Roger Ludlowe Combined Class of 1958 Plans 50-Year Reunion This Year

The combined Class of 1958 from Andrew Warde and Roger Ludlowe high schools is planning a 50-year reunion later this year. It was the second graduating class from Warde, which opened in the Fall of 1956.

Fifty years ago, the seniors at Warde previously attended Ludlowe for their freshman and sophomore years before the Melville Avenue campus opened for the start of their junior year. The students from both high school graduating classes were classmates at Ludlowe, which was then located in what is now Tomlinson Middle School, for their first two years.

The combined classes created a Web page (click the image below) to publicize the event, complete with old photographs, a listing of alumni from both schools, biographies, and memorials. The cover photos show their former high school buildings, which are home to Tomlinson Middle School and Fairfield Warde High School today.

There are class graduation photos from each of the six public grammar schools in Fairfield, too. Junior high schools didn’t yet exist in the early-to-mid 1950s. A half-century ago, students from McKinley, Stratfield, and Lincoln schools eventually attended Warde, while those who were products of Mill Plain, Grasmere, and Sherman schools moved into Ludlowe.

Lincoln School was located on Jackman Avenue on the Eastern side of Fairfield. It closed its doors for good following the 1963-64 academic year, and many Warde students attended the school prior to its closing. The photo below shows the sixth-grade class of 1952, most of whom eventually graduated from Warde in 1958.

Here is a copy of a sheet with their handwritten names from 56 years ago.

Many of the 1958 Warde grads attended the original McKinley School, which was demolished a few years ago when mold forced the closing of the building. The teachers and students were assigned to other Fairfield public schools by grade level until the new state-of-the-art school, located on the same site, was built.

Here is a photo of McKinley School's eighth-grade graduating class from 1954. Many of these students went on to graduate with Warde's Class of 1958.

Stratfield School is now the oldest public school in Fairfield and has been a staple on Melville Avenue for decades. However, the building is in desperate need of repairs, and it will be renovated soon. Here's a look at the eighth-grade graduating class at Stratfield School in 1954. Many of these children graduated from Warde in 1958.

Good luck to the Andrew Warde and Roger Ludlowe Class of 1958 50-year reunion committee. I'm sure there will be many stories shared among the combined classes when they get together.

The 1950s and early 60s marked a time of rapid growth and change in Fairfield, and the opening of Andrew Warde High School in 1956 ushered in a new chapter in the town's public education landscape.

Andrew Warde High School Cheerleaders Paved the Way for Today's Successful Mustangs' Squad

This year's Fairfield Warde High School cheerleaders are the most successful squad in school history. The girls are now participating in regional competition after recently finishing third in the state event.

Likewise, one of the best athletic squads during our days at Andrew Warde High School was the cheerleading team. The girls led the cheers for our Crimson Eagles' teams, whether on the gridiron or basketball court.

Remember, over a generation ago, there weren't many opportunities for girls to play sports. As a result, the varsity cheerleading squad (photo below) offered the best, if not only, chance for the girls to showcase their athletic talents.

During our senior year, the girls kept school spirits high by leading a huge motorcade across town before the Thanksgiving Day football game against Ludlowe. Captains Theresa Mortimer and Stacey Marden provided the leadership along with returning girls Noreen Gramigna and Mary Lou Mortimer.

Debbie Kressu and Diane Normal led the "Baby Eagles" junior varsity cheerleaders, seen below, in their outstanding support of the younger teams.

Today, the Mustangs' cheerleaders are following in their Crimson Eagles' footsteps. The Fairfield Warde cheerleading team had its best-ever performance at the state competition a week ago Saturday.

The Warde cheerleaders are the first-ever Fairfield high school cheerleading squad to place at this level after tallying 164 points and taking third place in the 19-team Class L field at the New Haven Athletic Center.

"I'm very excited," said Mustangs coach Stephanie Falcone. "I was very nervous during the awards ceremony, but the girls worked hard to get where they are and I'm excited to go to Regionals."

Waterford High (181) won and Fitch (166) edged out Warde for second. Despite a fall, the Mustangs were able to claim third and held off Woodstock Academy (161.5), Foran (161) and Berlin (161). Warde's resiliency helped it overcome its only gaffe.

"The rest of the routine was exciting and it carried us over along with the hard work and dedication," said Falcone. "It's all [because of] hard work, dedication and perseverance and motivating each other and we worked well as a team."

After finishing second at the FCIAC competition on February 2, Warde elevated its level in practice and set its sights in taking an even bigger prize. Congratulations to the Fairfield Warde High School Mustangs' cheerleaders.

Fairfield Warde High School Skaters Reach State Championship Hockey Game for First Time in School History

Editor's Note: Anyone interested in taking a fan bus to Yale University Friday evening to watch the Warde boys' ice hockey state championship game should sign up in the athletic office. The bus will leave from Warde at 5:30 pm and return immediately after the game. Game time is set for 7:00 pm. Tickets can also be purchased for this game in the athletic office as well.

The combined Fairfield Warde and Ludlowe high school hockey team advanced to the state championship game for the first time in school history last night. The Mustangs won their semi-final round matchup against Sheehan High School, 4-1, at Ingalls Rink.

The Mustangs face-off against Amity Regional High School of Woodbridge in the Connecticut Division II high school final this Friday evening in New Haven at 7 o'clock. Amity defeated Trinity Catholic of Stamford, 3-2, in the other semi-final round contest.

Fairfield's Mustangs scored three times in the opening frame and added another goal in the second stanza to jump out to a 4-0 cushion. Chris Kittredge, Peter Silvestri, John Pettit, and Chris Genova tallied for the Mustangs, who improved to 13-11-1 on the season.

The team has come a long way since our days at Andrew Warde High School over a generation ago. First of all, the 1975-76 squad was comprised of players exclusively from our high school instead of a combined roster of players from both Warde and Ludlowe. The photo below is taken from the 1976 Flame yearbook.

The team also showed some improvement over the previous year by winning one more game. The 1975-76 Crimson Eagles finished with a 6-12-2 record.

There were some exciting moments during the season, including the tie against our cross-town rivals, the Ludlowe Flying Tigers, and the victory over the Governors of Wilbur Cross at the New Haven Coliseum. The Coliseum, which was recently demolished, was the home of the American Hockey League's New Haven Nighthawks, and the venue was considered "big-time" for scholastic hockey players.

The leader of the squad was senior captain Andy Larsen, a perennial all-star. He was named to the All-FCIAC and All-State squads. Senior co-captain Joe Hamilton also earned All-FCIAC honors. Two other seniors who played well during the season were goaltender Jack Swift, seen in the photo above in a game at the Wonderland of Ice in Bridgeport, and "hatchet man" Bob Flug.

What do you remember about our high school hockey team? How impressed are you about the accomplishments of our "descendants" at Warde? I welcome your thoughts in the "comments" link below.

High School hockey players have never received the publicity or notoriety of their football or basketball counterparts, but this corner is proud of the accomplishments of this year's squad. If you have the time and opportunity Friday night, try to support the Mustangs as they attempt to win their first-ever state hockey championship.

Fairfield Warde High School Ranked Among Top 3% of High Schools Nationwide According to U.S. News & World Report

It shouldn't come as any surprise to those of us who graduated from Andrew Warde High School that the school is ranked among the top 500 high schools nationwide today.

That's according to the latest research from U.S. News & World Report, which analyzed data from thousands of schools to produce a list of the nation's best. The top schools are a diverse bunch, and each one has found a unique way to best teach our future leaders.

U.S. News & World Report, in collaboration with School Evaluation Services, a K-12 education and data research and analysis business that provides parents with education data on schoolmatters.com, analyzed academic and enrollment data from more than 18,000 public high schools to find the very best across the country. These top schools were placed into gold, silver, or bronze medal categories.

Fairfield Warde High School achieved a silver rating, along with neighboring high schools such as New Canaan, Darien, Joel Barlow, Staples, and Weston. Click the image below to access the report.

According to the article, "U.S. News set some clear criteria for academic quality in its new ranking of American high schools. To make the cut, schools have to provide a good education across their entire student body, not just for some students. And they must be preparing students for postsecondary opportunities.

"These criteria mean a lot of schools don't measure up—only 505 schools nationwide earned a silver or gold medal this year."

Congratulations to Fairfield Warde High School for keeping an outstanding academic tradition alive.

Longtime Andrew Warde High School Biology Teacher, Carole Marbury, Stays Active After Retirement

Even though she retired from her Fairfield High School classroom nearly a decade ago, Mrs. Carole Marbury has not slowed down one bit. In fact, she'll be packing her bags and getting ready to participate in a singing competition with her group, Harmony on the Sound, later this year.

"I'm into singing groups. We're preparing to go to Hawaii for the international (Sweet Adelines) competition," she told me by telephone from her Stratford home earlier this week. "Last year we won the regional. There were 30 to 35 choruses competing." The event is scheduled November 4th through the 8th.

"A few years ago we went to Indianapolis," added Mrs. Marbury, a member of the Stratford Singing Sisters Chorus. "We do very well for ourselves. We held our own." She is also involved in volunteer work, reading, and swimming. In other words, she's still quite busy.

Mrs. Marbury taught biology at Andrew Warde High School for all but two years from 1971 through 1999. She taught at Roger Ludlowe High School from 1985 through 1987 prior to the consolidation of both high schools into Fairfield High School at the Warde site.

"They were shuttling faculty around," she explained of her transfer to Ludlowe. "I think they lost two biology teachers. I was fortunate. We held on by our fingernails." After returning to the new Fairfield High School, she continued teaching biology until her retirement in 1999.

Mrs. Marbury said it was easy to explain her longevity at Warde. "Working with youth is momentous to me," she admitted. "I liked working with young people, and I enjoyed working with a supportive staff and faculty."

In addition, Mrs. Marbury also holds the distinction of being a student-teacher at Andrew Warde High School the year it opened in 1956. She was a 22-year-old fresh out of the College of New Rochelle in New York.

"Oh, my goodness, it was nice," she recalls of Fairfield's newest public high school 52 years ago. "I think everything was new. I think they had the seventh and eighth-graders there at the time. There were only four halls. The next year, it was just the high school (students).

"I enjoyed it," continued Mrs. Marbury about her student-teaching experience. "I knew a lot of the faculty. The younger brothers and sisters of my friends were there. I wasn't so much older. It was nice." What made it even more enjoyable was that her mother was the receptionist at the high school from 1956 to 1971. "I hardly saw her," Mrs. Marbury joked.

As a child, Mrs. Marbury grew up in Fairfield and attended Blessed Sacrament School in Bridgeport, since her father was a practicing physician in the Park City. Later, she attended secondary school at Lauralton Hall in Milford.

After she and her husband raised five children, Mrs. Marbury returned to the classroom for good in 1971. "I stopped to have the children, and then I came back to work again. It was a lot looser back then," she recalled. "When they needed someone, they just asked." Her interest in biology, naturally, was piqued by "growing up in a family with a father who was a doctor."

Mrs. Marbury, who was one of several teachers attending the Andrew Warde High School Class of 1976 30-year reunion in August of 2006, fondly recalls working with English teacher Tom Raslavsky to help the American Cancer Society at Warde.

"The two of us worked together (to help the cancer society)," she happily remembered. "To see the kids wanting to give back, wanting to help people, that was special. The kids were just so giving. At Christmastime, they would 'adopt' a family or two, and the kids would buy gifts for each child. They would buy food baskets for the family. The kids really enjoyed doing it."

Mrs. Marbury is a special person. She taught at Andrew Warde High School for nearly 30 years and still remains quite active nearly 10 years after retirement. Good luck and stay well, Mrs. Marbury, and bring home the singing title from Hawaii.
