Wiliam' In an age of complexity, an age of doubt and insecurity, leadership is what we most demand. This year Commonwealth High School has been fortunate to have as principal a man who embodies the qualities of leader- ship. Colonel Williams brought organization and efficiency to Common- wealthg he developed such a spirit among the faculty and the student body that people were willing to work together for the improvement of the school. The school's football team, which he supported with boundless enthusiasm, was the beginning or adrive to encourage not only intellectual t -If i. f . J. 1' ., Q- 'na V pursuits but athletic as well. It is not given to many men with great ability and a talent for leader- ship that 'their peculiar powers can be exercised at the most fitting mo- ment. But with Colonel Williams this rare melding of the man and moment did occur. His courage in facing issues, and his skill in solving problems make it easy to understand why the school has grown in strength and influence. Colonel Williams, for many years to come the students will bear the impress of your leadership. They will always be grateful to you. Many thanks to all you Blas6 Seniors and Mischievious Achievers for having made this such a memorable year. Actually, it will not be too difficult to continue to achieve and make each of your future years mean- ingful ones. The problem is to strive always for excellence, observing faithfully that old axiom, The harder I work the luckier I get. After your short or far-flung travels, please return for a visit to Commonwealth High School. We hope that you will remember your school with pride and affection. You will be missed, but we are confident that the high esprit de corps you have established here will be with you in your future endeavors. Col. Maxie R. Williams XX.

L Lindsey Prince President In the school year '68-'69, Commonwealth High School entered a new and completely different era. It was a year of challenge and opportunity - a year of responsibility for the student body. This year brought a new optimism to Commonwealth High School - an outlook of hope and pride that had never existed before. The Student Council accepted it's challenge and responsibility to become one of the busiest and most successful ever. It was well organized and found no problems too difficult to tackle. Thanks to Mr. Warfel and especially Col. Williams, the Council was allowed to be run by the students, with only minimum influence from the administration. If it had not been for Col. William's gracious liberalism, the Student Council would have probably floundered and failed this year. The Student Council set new precedents and established new traditions. This body strived for better student-faculty relations and brought about a closer tie between the two. Other Student Council projects are too numerous to be mentioned here. Hard work and accomplishment are the key words describing this school organization: supreme effort describes the Council's working attitude. The Student Council played an integral part in Com- monwealth's success this year. With the administration's aid and its performance, patterns for future Council's success have been established. fudeu! 611101011 5? F Netty Wagner Wee-President Dennn Qeritts E See. - Crens.

They strive at all times to en- courage and maintain these ideals in themselves and others. Selection as a member of the National Honor Society is .one of the highest honors bestowed upon a student by the faculty. lt is a recognition not only for achievement already attained, but for the promise these students show of continued excellence in main- taining the cherished ideals of the school. Guided by faculty advisor Mrs.Anita Stew- art, the Honor Society members at Com- monwealth have had a very interesting year. They will recall their Korean child Kim Ki Bae, and their disappointment when the eight year old boy decided to leave the orphanage. The selection of a career is one of the most important decisions of a person's life. The Honor Society was proud to serve the school by sponsoring a career dayfprogram. It was our hope that the entire school was able to derive some benefit from the weekly speakers.

Thus, all staff members are volunteers who truly enjoy the work in- volved in publishing a newspaper. After a rather slow start, the staff settled down to the many tasks at hand. Directed by faculty sponsor Mr. Kenneth Breslow, and Editors Lindsey Prince and Steven Lord, the Kaleido- scope has seen many innovations this year. The news- paper has become much broader in scope, ranging out- side the sphere of school activities for topics of interest to the youth today. Extensive coverage has been given to athletic events at our school, particularly the ex- ploits of our new football team. Given considerable liberty by the faculty, the Kaleidoscope has become a dynamic force for academic freedom. The editorial department, headed by Sherry Altman, has repeatedly featured vivid accounts of the varied life at Common- wealth. The Kaleidoscope has tried to serve a purpose beyond that of routine news-reporting, to serve as an out- let through which students can express their grievances and suggestions. The Kaleidoscope staff hopes that our aims - that of active service to the school - have been accomplished during the past year. lindsey Przhce sr as 4 fat , -1.

Included among these facilities are a dark room, an air-conditioner, and tables designed for art work. These improvements en- abled the yearbook editors, Melanie Laporte and Susie Forster, to work with organization and efficiency. These two young enthusiasts spent countless hours, raising money, motivating members of the staff, as- sorting materials, working on lay-out, proofreading materials, serving an equilibrium of cooperation.

Tire- lessly, they would bolster lagging spirits with prideful whoops and hollers, and when we were winning, their joy was uncontrollable. They nagged, cajoled, and cheered the school spirit to heights it hadn't known for years. In this year of growth and adjustment for the school, the cheerleaders served a very important function by keeping the school spirit high.

Over five hundred spectators sit anx- iously in the stands: the lights which illuminate the playing field contri- bute to the excitement. Eighteen young men in red and white wait tensely as their captains walk out on the field for the toss. The' flip and . . . Red receives!! A roar of approval rises from the stands. A last-minute sideline huddle and the receiving team trots on the field. A whistle blows, a soft leather THUMPisheatd. All eyes follow the long kick as it rises and then decends into the open arms of the deep receiver: ascramble of legs, a block, a cut, another block, and a tackle after a thirty-yard return. The game has begun. ' All eyes focus on one man the quarterback. As he begins to call plays, he remembers the coaches' words: Establish your ground game. Go to the inside two or three times and then sweep the end. Keep the defense honest and don't go to the air until they tighten up the defensive line. Above all, THINK! You're in charge out there! And take your time. When in doubt, run the strong- side off tackle play. Remember, . . . THINK! The two running backs remind themselves not to anticipatethe snap, not to telegraph their movements. They must remember their blocking assignments, especially their crucial roles in pass-protection for the quar- terback. When carrying the ball, follow your blocking, head for day- light, keep those legs moving, and for God's sake, HANG ONTO THAT BALL! The ends are on edge: there are many different things they must do well. This play one double-teams on the defensive tackle: the other must quickly release from the scrimmage line in time to assist the ball-car- rier with a good block in the second- ary. The next play is a pass: will they be able to clear the scrimmage- line, run their patterns, get a few 142 steps on their defenders, and ultimate- ly catch the pass from the quarter- back? The center dries his hands in the huddle, hears the play and the snap number, and breaks for the line of scrimmage before his teammates. He's aware of the importance of his position: if the snap is bad the play is broken, or even worse . . . FUMBLE! He checks the football, asks the ref to dry it, and then bends over it like a mother protecting her young. Then comes the familiar DOWN!! READY!! SET!! ONE ... TWO . .. THREE!! He releases the ball and now begins his other duty, line- blocking. The guard and tackle dig in for hard hitting, a head-on-head brand of contact that only the interior linemen know and enjoy. Perhaps they'll team up for a short-yardage blast by the fullback. If it's a weak-side sweep, the guard will pull and lead in- terference around end: that leaves two men for the tackle to contain. A x 'F' L -V K Q. rf' On pass defense, they will team up with the center to build a protective cup for their quarterback: they know better than anyone that the passing game is only as good as their pro- tection. When the offense leaves the field, the defense marches ong as they dig in, the stands know that they mean business. Collectively, they think of one thingy GET THAT BALL! ll To the two defensive tackles, that imperative is translated into plugging up the center of the line. They dig in, low, on all fours, re- solving that no ball carrier will pass through the interior of their line. The defensive ends crduch in a semi-upright position. They must stay on their feet so they can see the flow and turn-in any end run. Their biggest responsibility is to con- tain that end-sweep, to force the ball carrier to cut into the interior of the line into the welcoming arms of one of the defensive tackles. Their second responsibility arises on a pass play. Hold up that offensive end at the line of scrimmageg then, RUSH THAT PASSER!!! Keep your hands high. GET THAT QUARTER- BACK! For the linebacker, the key word is HESITATE! They must not commit themselves too quickly. With their eyes on the quarterback, they follow the ball through fakes and handoffs. If the quarterback drops back, they must pick up any half- backs swinging into the secondary for a short pass. On a run, they must assist the less mobile tackles if the play is up the middleg ,on an end-run, they must move later- ally to make the tackle after the defensive end has turned the play in. Above all, they must 'hesitate' and not go with the fake. The defensive deep men, the safeties, are edgyg theirs is a con- spicuous responsibility. With one eye on the offensive ends, the other eye follows the quarterback. Will he drop back to pass? If so, the safety l43 must either deflect the pass, or better yet, INTERCEPTION! If he fails inhis responsibility, TOUCHDOWN! Ahero or a bum, his fate is inseparably bound to the trajectory of a pigskin. The pressure is equally great on a running play, for if the ball carrier gets into the secondary, the safety may be the one and only man be- tween the runner and the endzone. He must be the surest tackler on the team, and often a diving.--attempt will be the differencebetween suc- cess and failure. Throughout f eseason, these ath- letes remembe! ed their responsibili- ties and exectited them well. More importantly, they never gave up, no matter how overwhelming the odds, no matter how bleak the picture. Why was that October night at Antilles field so memorable? So important? Because, it was the beginning of some- thing new for Comrnonwealthg it was the opening game of Commonwealth's very first football season, the game that had been about six years in the making: the game that the entire stu- dent body, faculty, administration, yes, and even alumni, had been waiting for many long years. It was a night to be remembered by all present, one to be followed by many more such nights, some more suc- cessful than others, some more pain- ful, but all characterized by sweat and determination. In a peculiar way, the season was avictory for Common- wealth even before the first game was completed. Perhaps, this is why that first cool October night at Antilles was so important and so meaningful. If JJ Hruzch Who can say enough about Coach? A concerned handler of athletes, a meticulous strategian, a dedicated worker . . . Mark Furculo was all of these, and more. A member of the faculty for the first time this year, he assumed the job of coaching our first football squad, and, through the course of the season, earned a place in the hearts of every member of the team. Mr. Furculo devoted innumerable hot, toiling hours to develope twenty young men into an organized football team. He con- tributed a leadership the likes of which has not been seen in Commonwealth athletics for a long time. He worked with a group of boys who were relatively inexperienced in football techniques, teaching them not only the basic rudiments of the game, but how to behave as a team, to devote all of their physical and mental 'effort to playing and winning. He brought a vast football know-how to the team, and utilized a keen intelligence for solving any problems that arose, from filling the place of an injured player to designing intricate plays to cope with an opposing team's defense. Football will be a part of our school for a long time, but as long as the game is played here, Coach Purculo will always be remembered as the man who handled out first team. His vitality, perseverance and quality of leader- ship will never be forgotten by students at Commonwealth. ...I 1 is A- 'nu -1 4 1 9 How many people would take time from their work to spend hot, sweaty hours whipping a high school football team into shape? Joe Ser- ralta did. Joe was the man who coached the team in their trial ex- hibition game last year against St. John's, and he volunteered his ser- vices to Coach Furculo to help with this year's team. , Any member of the team will tell you that they couldn't have made it without Joe. He contributed a football knowledge and a regimen- tary discipline to mold the team into a winning unit. Handling the de- fensive team while Coach Furculo worked with the offense, he taught the boys how to move, to react, to fig, handle any situation which might arise. Commonwealth will always be indebted to the man whose encourage- ment, moral strength and love for football was a vital factor in insuring the success of the school's first team. Offansive Hacks BOBBY PULLIAM NORBY FLEISIG 1 ' ' Q. K 5471 39 -. sid M., , ,xg , ...aa M, t K QI. .4 ,st .t U xg. 2 Z MIKE GILBERT I' X Norby, Mike John and Bobby. These four Comets made up the backfield for Commonwealth. They were the scorersg they were the ones who had to react, to think clearly under pressure. It was they who would take all the blame for lost fumbles, a poorly timed handoff, or a dropped pass. These four were also the heroes. Mike Gilbert's cool thinking, pinpoint passing and football instinct enabled him to quarterback three victories. His passing was consistently accurate and he exhibited a great deal of speed when forced to resort to scrambling. Bobby Pulliam proved to be a durable, quick tailback and it was he that made our off-tackle play the best ground-gainer the team used. Gaining good yardage almost everytime he ran and becoming a reliable' re- ceiver made him one of the top scorers. Norby Flei- sig was the most elusive of our runners, gaining yards on kick-off returns. I-le was the one called on when short yardage was essential, always good for those few needed yards. He was also instrumental as ablocker on passes. John Zito was our short fast fullback who specialized in cuts to the outside. A good blocker, sturdy runner and good receiver, he took part in alot of crucial scoring in our football games. Lyle Gray and Johnny DeVries also alternated as backs for the Comets. I49 Offensive Zim' LINDSEY PRINCE . ,' The most physically demanding position on the team is that of an offensive lineman. They have to block, be hit, suffer cuts and bruises while stopping oncoming defenders. They are the all-crucial blockers who make runs successful and who give the quarterback ,enough time to com- plete scoring passes. Our interior linemen were Mau- ricio Behar, Roger Magill, Robert Heyliger and Ronnie Hirsh. Mauricio was a savage tackle and few de- fenders ever got around him. Roger proved 'to be a sturdy guard and warded off blows to open up a hole for a rtmderg Robert-, the offensive captain, was an outstanding center, and his hustle and his energy kept PHIL HOCHSTEIN RONNIE HIRSH MAURICIO BEHAR the offense moving. Ronnie came in at center for Robert at times and proved to be a competent center and good blocker. The two ends were Phil Hoch- stein and Lindsey Prince. Phil be- came one of the most valuable re- ceivers in the league. I-ie brought in passes time and again and used great evasiveness in running with the ball. Lindsey, the strong end, was an extremely able blocker and some- times was used as a tackle. Being a good receiver he scored many points and received passes on some crucial plays. Johnny DeVries also played end and Chuck Shaffeild, Mike Arrabel and Gary Montilla filled in as interior linemen. Defensive Hacks NORBY FLEISIG BUCKY NACHMAN DAN IANER Probably the most responsibility-laden job on the football field is that of a defensive back. It's the safety that has to break up the touchdown-making passes, who is the last man to stop arunner from breaking away, who has to keep one eye on the ball and the other on any receiver coming into his zone. The two starting safeties for the Comets were Norby Fleisig and Dan Janet. Norby, who was also defensive captain, became one of the best pass defenders in the league, and time and again Norby intercepted passes and exhibited flashing speed in returning them. Dan was an extremely able defender, one of the teams best tacklers and fiercest competitors. Always coming through when it was needed, he saved,a win for Commonwealth in the last few minutes when he broke up an important Robinson play by picking off a pass. Bucky Nachman was an alternate safety. He saved the tie at St. Croix by stopping a runner from scoring with a few minutes left in the game. Mike Gilbert, John Zito, and Bobby Pulliam all filled in in the defensive backfield when they were needed. Defensive Zine GARY MONTILLA 0 3 ii, z if fsffl Q to 1e e s , ,. k i ,,kkV BRUCE BRESLOW Savage fierceness, lightning re- flexes and total disregard of personal welfare are characteristics necessary for defensive linemen. Creating pressure on the opposing quarterback, stopping runners from breaking open and deflecting short passes are all jobs of these rugged athletes. This is where the bruises and cuts are incurred: this is where the strength is. Defensive ends have to turn plays inside and have to prevent a runner from seeing daylight on the outside. Mike Floyd, Chris Fernandez, Ronnie Hirsch, lindsey Prince and Mike Ara- bal played this position for the Comets. Mike Floyd and Chris Fer- nandez,'starting ends, were endurable linemen who stopped many long gains by opposing runners. Interior linemen have ahard job, which is the responsibility of stopping any ball-carrier up the middle. All- Star Gary Montilla, Froilan Martin, Mike Floyd, Mathew Toth and Rick Fels, all played in the middle of the line. Gary Montilla was a ferocious tackler, providing an im- penetrable wall for oncoming runners. A linebacker has a tough job, having to stop runners and being re- sponsible for covering backs who are going out for passes. All-Stars Mau- ricio Behar and Bruce Breslow, Chuck Shaffield and Lyle Gray played this position for Commonwealth this year. All four of these athletes exhibited flashing reflexes and reacted to any situation that came up. Probably Commonwealth's strongest position, our linebackers won recognition throughout the league. MAURICE BEHAR I 54 I Q 'iii - CHUCK SHAFFIELD MATHEW TOTH RICK FEI-S . 'Z f CHRIS FERNANDEZ. - 1 A FROILAN MARTIN Q MIKE FLOYD PHILJ MQ: MITQ, Jaaurb Every year the coaches get together and elect players from every team to play in the All-Star game on Thanksgiving weekend. ln Commonwea1th's first year, we had five athletes elected to the City All-Star team and they played a big part in the City's 14-12 victory over the Outer-Island All-Star team. Mauricio Behar, Commonwealth's best all-around player, was selected as a line-backer. A fierce com- petitor all year round, he played a dazzling game on defense. Tearing ligaments in his leg in the third quarter, he simply ignored them until the gamewas over. Bruce Breslow, another of our departing seniors, was picked .as a linebacker. He reacted quickly and was excellent on pass coverage. Bruce was one of our key defenseman all season, one of the best tackles on the team. Mike Gilbert is probably the best passer in the league, and the coaches selected him as a quarterback for the City All-Stars. Unfortunately, Mike could not play due to a servere neck injury. Coming from Episcopal Cathedral School, Mike contributed a great deal to make our first season a success. Phil Hochstein was the youngest player we had on the All-Stars. Although bed-ridden the week before the game, he dressed out and took part in a number of plays. One of the best ends in the league, Phil, who is 6'4 , has two years of high school ball ahead of him. Gary Montilla was chosen as a defensive tackle. Using his size to get through the line, he exhibited the same tenacity, that is, tackling runners despite two bad knees. An important member of Commonwealth's team, he will graduate in June. MAURICIO BEHAR BRUCE BRESLOW MIKE GILBERT PHIL HOCHSTEIN , 4' . 'W' GARY MONTILLA Practice Practice, a word that drew every sort of dissension, from grunts and groans to excuses for not showing up. A necessary evil, composed of long grueling hours Linder a relentless sun that pushed the endurance of the strongest athletes, practice was made up of shouts, screams, push-ups, drills, races, exhaustion, fatigue. And that was just the beginning. Ioe Serralta drilled his defense re- lentlessly, until the players jumped to their positions at the defensive cap- tair1's calls without a moment's hesi- tation. Coach Furcolo went over a play fifteen, sixteen times with the offensive unit until the backs' timing was perfect: the cross blocks were executed without flaw. v , t , . But it was here that the football games were won or lost. On the field in the back of Commonwealth High, everyday from two to six, the Comets learned the hard way, the only way, how to play football. A half hour of exercise to strengthen arms, legs, neck, torsos, and passing drills was to assure pinpoint accuracy on the passers' part and to train the re- ceivers so that their timing became automatic. The mention of tackling and blocking brought shudders from the linemen, but a missed tackle could determine the outcome of a football game. It was a part of Commonwealth's first football season that few took notice of, but it was the most im- portant part, where bodies were tough- ened and techniques were learned. The dedication of the coaches, the willingness of the players and the co-operation of the school staff were factors which shaped successful prac- tices and a successful season. mv I y 'K , ,v,!+'l' ' ,., ,v7l::,.L?vfg5Mf I f'f?2!C':'- . ,, .,, f p , 125 . - 5, M .wa T?

U Commonwealth was given a limited schedule in its first season, playing each team once. In our trial season we played eight regular games and one post season game in St. Croix. We won four and lost four, finishing in a three way tie for fourth place in the middle of the league's standing. Our first game was against the Hermits from San Antonio Abad, who were favored to finish number one. Hochstein scored twice, once on a pass by Mike Gilbert, later on a roll-out pass by Norby, The defense played a good game, much closer than the 48-13 score indicated. Our second game was not one we like to remember. The Antilles Pirates were the hardest hitting team in the league and they proved it against us. Phil scored twice again but quarterback Mike Gilbert was out for the whole second half. The final score was 61-13. Morale was down after two losses when we went to Rosey Roads. The Panthers took advantage of this, winning 45-13. Bobby Pulliam scored once and our defense re- covered a fumble in their end zone for Commonwealth's second score. Would we ever break thirteen points?? American Mili- tary Academy's Bisons had won two out of their first three and were sure they were going to beat us. The Comets put together their best game of the season. Pulling the upset of the year, Phil, Lindsey, Norby, Zito and DeVires all scored to give Commonwealth its first win, 32-28! Games A , Revenge!! St. IOl'1I1'S had beaten us 20-19 in our only exhibition game last year. But they proved tougher than we expected. Down by two points with two minutes left, Mike and his offense scored two touchdowns to put Common- wealth ahead for good, 39-28. Our greatest dislike was probably for Robinson. Their coach had nicknamed us the Cinderella Team and had predicted we wou1dn't last the year. But Cinderella proved to be too much for the Hawks. Mike's passes were caught frequently by Phil and Lindsey and we came out on top, 38-32. Ramey, number two in the league, was a tough team. In the first half they ran all over us, leading 32-6. The Comets outscored the Bombers in the second half but it was too late. Hochstein, Zito, Pulliam, and Gilbert scored as we lost 50-26. Episcopal Cathedral forfeited, being unable to get a team up for the game. The Comets went to St. Croix to play St. Dunstan's School for our post-season game. Play- ing a new game, six-man football, and depleted because many players didn't make the trip over, the Comets were at a disadvantage. Gary Montilla, Lyle Gray, and Bobby Pulliam scored as the game finished in a 19-19 tie. W .. .

Un- der the direction of Mr. Fuchs and Mrs. Carey, the girls ended with a 4-4 division record, which eamed them the trophy for second place. The school was very proud of its girls' basketball team. The girls exhibited a great deal of enthusiasm and drive, putting together the best season that Commonwealth has had in girls' basketball for a long time.

The 1574 ft. long, prefabricated concrete super- structure was cast in 50 sections, joined together, and post-tensioned. The beam was then pushed with hydraulic jacks across the river in 500 separate stages. POZZOLITH was used in the concrete for this bridge to meet critical requirements for on-site production with precise control despite extreme heat and humidity. POZZOLITH helped obtain high strength concrete averaging 5650 psi with a 12.32, coefficient of variation-excellent field con- trol of uniformity for concrete specified at 5000 psi. PozzoLrrH improved the worka- bility and placeability of 6100 cu. yds. of 2 inch slump concrete. lt further provided controlled retardation to prevent unwanted cold joints. You'll find PozzoLiTH specified by engi- neers wherever predictable concrete per- formance is needed. It contributes the same benefits to your run-of-the-job con- crete as it does to critical applications.

Mr. Warfel and Col. Williams - for doing everything possible and always trying to boost our morale. Mr. Pastorino - for all the time spent rewriting, editing and proofreading our pages.

Mr. Mac. and Mr. McCurdy - for building, fixing, and cooling the yearbook room. Moose - for saving our life with his prophecy. Thanks to all our teachers - for putting up with our absences and excuses. And from Melanie and Susie a special thanks to all yearbook staff who spent countless hours helping to make this yearbook ALL that it is. Hareufell Massey Education is the best method to overcome the boredom which plagues many of us today. Genuine education indicates that in all situa- tions are unsuspected possibilities. It teaches us not to look outside and not to be blinded by externality, but to cultivate our inner re- sources. lt brings us into touch with ideas and ideals which have a timeless reality. It creates new friends whom otherwise we would never meet, friends who are with us in prosperity and in depression, in health and in the agonies of sickness. It gives us a new vitality and a new enthusiasm, for the battle against ignorance is never won. It creates a feeling of perpetual youth even when we are old, for those who really seek knowledge see life as an unending dawn and everyday as an experience in novelty. J xgff Nh 22:5 '4?
