As the commander of the forces of nature, he rode in his thundercar wearing his aegis of stormclouds, hurling the thunderbolt and the lightning and scattering protective drops of aegis on his subjects. Through the ages, aegis came to symbolize both the warrior's shield and the protection which it lent to others. During high school days, we have worked together under the aegis of Springfield and East Longmeadow high schools. Grateful for their protective guidance, we now separate into one hundred thirty-five different ways. Each graduate must now fashion for himself his own shield of knowledge and experience strong enough to meet the challenges of his life. May each one, according to his talents and abilities, decorate his shield with his accomplishments and, by the qualities of his character, keep its lustre bright. Grateful acknowledgement is given to all who have spent so many hours creating this first Aegis, Volume I of the history of East Longmeadow High School. William C.

L to r: Mr. Donald Bremner, Mrs. Emily Badger, Secretary, Mr. Ray S. Jones, Chairman, Mr. Gerald Osterman, Mr. James B. Punderson. The major development in recent years in the East Longmeadow Public Schools has unquestionably been the opening of the High School. Several members of the Committee have been associated with the planning, construction and formation of policy over a period of several years. It is with a glow of pride and deep satisfaction, therefore, that we have watched the manner in which the student body has conducted itself. A new school is certain to be closely watched and evaluated. It is our opinion that the East Longmeadow High School is rapidly establishing a reputation for high standards of academic achievement and conduct. We would like to extend special congratulations to the members of the Class of 1962. Yours has been the important responsibility of providing major leadership for the students during this formulative period. The manner in which you have handled the publication of the year book and other activities has been most commendable. We shall continue to follow with sincere interest your careers as you leave East Longmeadow High School and take your places in the world of business and higher education. RAY S. I ONES, Chairman EMILY BADGER, Secretary GERALD OSTERMAN DONALD BREMNER JAMES PUNDERSON 6 The Superintendenfs Message The Class of 1962 of East Longmeadow High School has many distinctions. You have both the honor and the responsibity of being the first graduating classg an honor because America is a nation of iirsts g a responsibility because everything you have done and will do sets a pattern which future classes will tend to follow and by which our High School will be judged by the community, the area and the colleges. Your Class deserves to be honored because you have carried your responsibilities with intelligence and dignity. You have set a high standard of behavior and academic achievement. The activities of the school in which you have been leading participants have been carefully planned and successful. The Aegis is a typical example of the excellent results which can be achieved by cooperative effort combined with enthusiasm and hard work. It has been my privilege to watch your progress since you started fourth grade. Those of us who have contributed to your education will continue to follow your careers with the greatest of hope and interest. Each and every one of you has our very best wishes for success and happiness. ROBERT .l . JARVIS Superintendent of Schools 7 The Principal Speaks Today education is more important than ever before. The educated man occupies an enviable posi- tion in the general scheme of things in this fast- shrinking world. We hear education, its goals, its problems, its failures, and its successes, debated almost hourly. ' Yet with all the debates about edu- cation one question cannot be ignored. What is education ? Since answers are easily found, there are many. For some, education is power, power to learn and to know all about life. For others, education is a profession, a way of life. Still others look upon education as something which occupies time in their lives and they regard it as something of little bene- fit. What some people do not seem to realize, how- ever, is that education is a life-long process, some- thing that begins at birth and continues until the end of our time. Education is the one thing in this life which can be all things to all men. It can bring wealth, joy, happiness, satisfaction, worthwhile lei- sure time to the lives of all of us. lt can bring free- dom through the perusal of the thoughts of great men or it can bring sorrow, fear and destruction. As you leave this high school you carry with you the singular honor of being the first graduating class. Because of this, your class is unique, no future class can duplicate this honor. Nevertheless like all graduating classes, past and present, you are united through the fact that you have had the opportunity to select a program which will give you the freedom to pursue your lives as you see fit. Your real educa- tion is just beginning. Life is about to be lived away from home by you, as grown men and women. Many of you have chosen college, some of you will go di- rectly to work or into the Armed Services, most of you will marry and raise families. As you pass through the educative process which life offers, be greatful for them. Hold fast to the lessons you learn from them. Use wisely the foundations which you built cooperatively with your teachers here at East Longmeadow High School. Regardless of your plans, your ambitions, or the lessons to be learned, you know as we do that these foundations will serve you well. May l add my thanks for the chance to be a part of this, our first yearbook, planned by our first year- book staff for the first graduating class. It has been a great pleasure to work with you and my sincere wishes for success and happiness go to each of you. ELWYN J. DOUBLEDAY Principal Guidance Director You are a unique class. No other group of students in the future of this school will play such an important part in affecting its standards and traditions. You are the first graduates of a new school. During your two years here you have carried your responsibilities well. You are now commencing your adult life. Your successes and failures will continue to have an important impact on your school. The reputation and record you establish in college, in business, in militaryservice, in civic life will create an image of the type of person East Longmeadow High School graduates. Your performance can either open or close doors to opportunity for those who will follow you. Your opportunities have been many - your responsibilities are now great. I have every confidence in your ability to rise to these re- sponsibilities and achieve your full share of success. Good luck to each of you. EDWARD PEPYNE Guidance Director 9 V . . ., ,V I ,EV E Counseling students in the proper choice of subjects and colleges is not an easy task. The Guidance Department of East Longmeadow High School is fortunate to have three dedicated people devoted to this task. Mr. Edward Pepyne, Director of Guidance, aids the Seniors in their choice of Colleges and helps them plan their academic futures. Mr. Armand Fusco, Guidance Counselor, assists the under- classmen in programming their futures while at East Longmeadow High School. The devoted Secretary to the Department is Mrs. Margaret Palpini, without whose assistance much of the paper work associated with Guidance would not be processed. One of the features of the Guidance Department is its Reference Library located within the Department Ofiices. Available to all students, the library contains the cata- logues of all major colleges and universities in the United States, as well as catalogues of junior colleges and special schools. Career training pamphlets for those not plan- ning to attend college are located here as well as pamphlets about the armed services. The large bulletin boards present appropriately located sites where employment op- portunities may be read. The Senior Class wishes to thank the members of the Guidance Department for all their help.

AGNES LIVINGSTONE Guidance Dept., Secretary Secretary to Mr. Doubleday SECRETARIES Where would we be if it were not for those unsung heroines of the oiiice, the Secretaries? They know where everything is when we want something. They know where teachers are, or where they can be found. They type transcripts, check regis- ters, kee accounts, and listen to our woes. This is part of their days' work and they remain allways cheerful. We are greatful that we have such wonderful people to help us. We want them to know how much we appreciate them. MRS. MARION ZIMMER MRS. DORIS CRUIKSHANK Secretary to Superintendent of Schools Secretary to Superintendent of Schools i D 1 1 Facult Salute To you, our faculty, who have so painstakingly sought to increase our knowledge and develop our potential, we, the class of 1962, express our deepest gratitude. Through your participation in all our activities you have helped to create the spirit that prevails at East Longmeadow High School. Those after-2:30 rescue sessions , so willingly offered, the many hours of athletic coaching and supervising of extra-curricular activi- ties - all have contributed to that remarkably fast emergence of a true Spartan spirit. We want you to know that you will always be a part of our lives. You inspired us in the classroom, then came to our games and cheered. You chaperoned our dances, encouraged our clubs and directed our after-high school ambitions. Memories are made of this! Since our futures are your most important product, may we build well 'A on the foundations and with the tools you have given us. May our lives in later years AJ. -N fiifashow the values you have taught. I fc yx 1 . V f , in ., , ., , . tl., L' MRS. CLADYS ADAMS French and Spanish Advisor, Spanish Club: Junior Class Advisor.

Throughout the early pages of this book, refer- ences have been made to the uniqueness of the Class of 1962. Nothing so much reflects this unique attitude than the Class History and its accompany- ing pictures. A close look at these pictures will tell, more eloquently than words, a portion of our class history. For these pictures are views of those build- ings we have known during the course of our high school years. We started out in Birchland Park Junior High School, close to home, and spent eager carefree days learning the fundamentals of math, science, lan- guage arts and English. Leanna Eldridge was elected President of our class in the Ninth Grade, Richard Hickey was Vice-president, Marilyn DiMonaco was chosen Secretary and Carolyn Bradley, Treasurer. The year moved on very quickly and we were en- gaged in the routine studying of several subjects. Our eyes were on the future, and that could not come soon enough for us. For our future held surprises beyond compare. We knew that in the coming year we would be separated into the several high schools of the Springfield Public School System. Yet we knew that we would be brought together again when that vast complex of stone and steel slowly rising on Maple Street, named East Longmeadow High School, would call us to be its students. Time passed quickly and Graduation, J une 5, 1959, was an event- ful day. As we accepted our diplomas under the proud and watchful eyes of our parents, we left our endeared school carrying with us many wonderful memories and mixed emotions - sorry to leave but anxious to accept the challenge of a new high school life the following September in the City of Spring- field. A close look at the remaining pictures serves to trace our paths through five major high schools. There has been no particular order in arranging the pictures, they are present as reminders of the happy days we spent within the halls of these build- ings. We were disbanded temporarily when we entered the storied halls of those reputable institu- tions, Tech, Commerce, Classical, Cathedral, Trade. Many new experiences and responsibilities beset us as we switched our allegiances and rooted against one another in the pleasant rivalries which inter- school competition brings. The Bulldog, The Red Raider, The Tiger and The Panther became an im- portant part of our lives, and we warned any and all that we would defend their traditions and good names to the bitter end. Yet, somehow, inside, we probably felt like small bolts in a big machine . . . that is, we were one of thousands of students . . . or two thousand! The feeling of togetherness and unity was missing, but we worked hard that year because we had the incentive provided by the new high school waiting to receive us and the thought of re- union with our deeply rooted friends. We had few feelings of regret as we boarded the busses from the city for the last time, in June, 1960, for we had a great deal awaiting us back home! For the third time in three years we were in a different school as we eagerly began our Junior Year at our own East Longmeadow High in Septem- ber, 1960. The Class of '62 was together again, and from the very first whistle at our very first football game, a hearty school spirit burned within us. We elected our class officers almost immediately: Gil Congdon, President, Terry Rockwood, Vice-Presi- dent, Mary Burgess, Secretary, Carolyn Bradley, Treasurer. We helped choose the name The Spar- tans for our school and applied it to our very successful athletic teams, which did exceptionally well the first year considering we lacked seniors and competitive experience. As a class we really be- came active. Dances were run, activities were spon- sored and juniors could be found in every activity in the school. During the winter months, we or- ganized a committee under the direction of Mr. Goff of the English Department, to work on the first school yearbook, and shortly thereafter we ordered class rings and class hats for our senior year. Under the capable direction of Mr. Dutille our Class Ad- visor, we became a more closely knit unit. ln the spring of 1961, it was announced that our school would have a branch of the National Honor Society, and it was also stated that eleven members of the Class of '62 would constitute its charter members. Our class reached a milestone on May 12, 1961 when we held our highly successful Junior Prom Utopia . Mary Burgess was elected Prom Queen, and Linda Johnson and Cale Kuhn formed her attractive Court. The final, important event of our Junior Year was the Class Picnic, held informally at Look Park on the last day of school, June 20th. Everyone had an enjoyable time and all who went agreed it was a pleasant way to end a successful year. September, 1962, saw our class as Seniors in our new high school. Yet this unique class compiled for itself another singular honor. For the third year in a normal four-year school program, our class was again the top class in the school, a privilege ac- corded to very few classes. This was the final year of high school for us, and we thought it would drag by. How wrong we were! Class elections were held and Gil Congdon was our President for another year. Jack Millard was elected Vice-President, Mary Bur- gess was re-elected Secretary, and Carolyn Bradley retained her post as Treasurer. We received our class rings and hats and wore both with understand- Technical High School, Springfield Commerce High School, Springfield Classical High School, Springfield Cathedral High School, Springfield Trade High School, Springfield able pride. On November 21, 1961 the class spon- sored a dance not so aptly called Hawaiian Holi- dayn. A hugh turnout assured us of success. During this time too, the members of the Yearbook Com- mittee were raising money to pay off our contract, and other committees were formed to look into the matter of caps and gowns and class banqueting facilities. As the new year began, the year of our graduation, it suddenly dawned that the class had very little time left at East Longmeadow High School. It was with pride that the Seniors realized that their class had paid off its yearbook, organized its graduation, scheduled its banquet, and selected its class gift. January was also an important month for other reasons: On January 18th four seniors, Pete Guenther, Miriam Ratner, Robert A. John- son, Alan Powers, represented our school on the television program As Schools Match Wits, pre- sented by WWLP, Channel 22. On January 20th, many seniors participated in the first talent show pre- sented at the school, Spartanum Spectaculumf' con- sisting of a cast of hundreds. It was a huge success. Sponsored by the Honor Society and the Student Government and directed by Mrs. Arlene Tashlick, Faculty Advisor of the Honor Society, and Miss Theresa Vedany, Advisor of the Student Govern- ment, the show drew ovation upon ovation from a packed house of parents, students and teachers. As this yearbook goes to press, the Glass of '62 looks forward to the April Play Our Miss Brooks directed by Miss Nancy Stewart, and even further to that day when we shall reach the end of our high school days, our Graduation. Time nor space does not permit us to recount every minute of every enjoyable day. But it does permit us to take into account the major events of the best years of our lives. Though bright days filled with accomplishments lie ahead, these can be our only high school days. This history, coupled with the pictures and copy in this book, The Aegis, we hope, will serve to hold for us always the bright memories of these our days of days . JOHN R. SMITH ...Y East Longmeadow High School FRANCIS DUTILLE Class Advisor Amid all the congratulatory messages which your class has received, let me take this opportunity to wish you well.

Junior Prom 1.961 On the night of May twelfth Utopia signalled our classes biggest social function of the year, the Junior Prom. For many, it was the beginning of the final year of school life which would end with the flurry of ac- tivity of Commencement Week a little more than a year later. The gym was beautifully decorated with fountains and flowers. Fes- toons and garlands of color created a magic atmosphere. Soft lights and sweet music created a best of all possible worlds scene as the Class of 1962 danced dream- ily at their June Prom. Everyone had a good time. UND R CLASSES HOMEROOM 206.

Since the founding of the school, the Activi- ties Program has grown until it now offers something for everyone who cares to participate. Just about everyone in the school is engaged in some kind of activity. Because of the limitations of space, comments will be made on the activities at the beginning of the section. Then, with the pictures to follow, students and faculty alike can browse through the section and renew the memories which these pictures bring to mind. The Aegis is self-explanatory. The yearbook staff has worked long and hard to bring together the best memories of these years in book form. They have labored under Mr. Goff's direction at a demanding task and the result has been rewarding. This first Aegis is a book about which the entire staff can be proud. Music holds a major place in the school life of ELHS, With- out the dedicated work of Mr. Joseph Charron, with the band, and Mrs. Margaret Corliss, with the glee club, chorus, Gayblades and Charmers, the beautiful sounds which we have heard daily might not have been a reality. The music at the games, the rousing marches, the entertainments at assemblies and at the Talent Show could not have been possible if it were not for these young people and their teachers working together. Everyone knows the importance of language in everyday life, but no one knows this importance better than the members of the Language Clubs. The French Club, with Miss Kennedy as advisor, encourages the use of conversational French and broadens the cultural scope of its students through movies and lectures. Mrs. Adams, heading the Spanish Club, takes her group through the land of Don Quixote and Alarcon, always expanding their knowledge and understanding of Spanish and the Spanish people. Mr. Nickett, advising the German Club, has shown them the beauties as well as the importance of Germany. Thorough under- standing of this language and its people are necessary to under- stand fully the role of Germany today. Latin is not dead yet! Mr. Nevin and the Latin Club testify to that fact. Much can be learned from the past, and the Land of the Caesars has much to offer us today. The affairs of the students are in good hands thanks to the efforts of the Student Government, headed by its President Joseph Berard and its advisor, Miss Vedany. Meeting every Tuesday during the year, this group has done much to keep the school running smoothly. They have also added to the students' social life by sponsoring several dances during the year, and co-sponsor- ing the talent show. Mr. Roan's group of active young men, the Corridor Patrol have kept traffic moving in the halls. Thanks to their efforts, students arrive at classes on time and the entire organization of the school is run very efficiently. The Drama Club presented Our Miss Brooks this year, and was accorded the second triumph of its career. These budding actors, and Miss Stewart their advisor, have done much hard work over the past two years. Building scenery and writing some of their own works to test their skills have certainly shown them to be a hard-working group. The Spartan Spirit keeps the student body informed of all the news that's fit to print. Advised by Mr. Grocott, English Department Chairman, the paper has featured creative work by Phil Demetrion in art, Richard Hawley in sports, and Ron John- son, literature. The hard work done by these and other members of the staff have made the paper a well-received contribution to the life of the school. Not to be outdone, the printing and process- ing of the paper is accomplished under the direction of Mr. Hart of the Business Department and John Plumadore the school's student photographer. Math can be pleasurable, is the motto of the Math League coached by Mr. Dutille, Math Department Chairman and Mrs. Tashlick. The students regularly compete in speed tests which check their problem-solving ability in the various areas of math. s The competition is difficult, but the rewards are stimulating mental exercise. Chess has caught on at ELHS as the result of a vast program of publicity undertaken by Mr. Nevin's group, the Chess Club. The group has advanced the popularity of this sport through demonstrations of skill and tact required to play it well. With their eyes on retaining the trophies won last year, the Bowling Club, coached by Mr. Daniele, practices every Monday not only to sharpen their skills but for fun as well. They have a fine tradition to uphold and they are determined to keep their records intact. Junior Red Cross has been active during the past year with a visit to Westover AFB Hospital at Christmas. Headed by Mrs. Virginia Corwin, the club endeavors to give assistance, in a quiet way, to others who are beset by sickness. The Homemaking Club also under the guidance of Mrs. Cor- win helps those girls who are interested in acquiring more than the fundamental skills in sewing, cooking, and budgeting to learn them in an enjoyable, relaxed atmosphere. No matter where they may be seen, the members of this group are always carrying something, screens, projectors, recorders, tapes, filmstrips. The A-V Group is really an essential unit in the high school. Guided by Mr. Robert Goff, Director of A-V Materials for the school system, these men see to it that equipment is where it should be, when it is wanted. Their services are also invaluable throughout the system when films are to be run in the various buildings. When the ELHS Cheerleaders are seen at games, they per- form with grace and skill. No one knows better than they how much work has gone into these routines. At rallies, bonfires and games, their presence can be counted on to Keep that EL Spirit on the top of the list . Miss Herschuk, their advisor, and the girls deserve thanks for their fine work. The Leaders Club is a select organization of girls chosen for their ability in sports. They demonstrate their skills in the girls' gym classes to which they are assigned. Miss Upshaw, their advisor has done a great deal with these girls as models of ,physical fitness. The Majorettes have done much to brighten up the festivities at ELHS games, and Mrs. Haley, their advisor and guide, has done much to help them perform well. Drilling in precise and intricate formations, the group has made every sports event complete by their presence. The Student Hostesses are a group of young ladies who, on a voluntary basis, extend the welcome of East Longmeadow High School to visitors in the building. It is their duty to see that strangers are made welcome and to conduct tours of our facilities. Mr. Dale and the Science Club of which he is advisor, have shown enthusiastic approaches to science. Their experiments range from complex to exotic. Many of the group ,plan to further their education in this field. Their work in the science fairs shows early evidence of their success. Mrs. Lopes runs our very efficient library, but the Library Aides help her in many ways. Without their help, record keeping would be a great task, and tracing books for students would be a formidable one. Because of their generosity, our library is not only efficient but also very helpful. The Honor Society is young at ELHS, but this year has been one of tremendous achievement for it. After its installation, the group set right to work with the help of Mrs. Tashlick. Of the many activities which it has sponsored, the most notable was the Talent Show. The members of the Honor Society are distinguished not only by their good marks, but by their record of achievement and service to the school as well. Last but not least the Ofiice Aides help with the general paper- work so necessary in a school of this size. Taking calls, distribut- ing messages, printing the Daily Bulletin and helping the secre- taries in general, these young ladies render a service to the school which is indispensable. 1.962 A6glS Staff Mr. Coil and the group, l to r: Mary Bell, Linda Walachowicz, Linda Gaff, Bill Burgess, Editor in Chief, Ruth Thresher, Janice Becker, Doreen Gil- man, Kathy Bell, Barbara Wolf, Miriam Ratner, Jackie Bates.

Be- fore a capacity audience of over 800, the Spar- tans showed that their talent covered every field from song and dance to tumbling and monologue. MC for the evening was Brian Johnson who carried the entire show forward at a brisk pace. The eager audience thoroughly appreciated the efforts of the cast. Notable features of the evening were: The baby contest featuring faculty members as babies and nurses. The babies were portrayed by Mr. John Coons, Mr. Joseph Daniele, Mr. Joseph St. Germain, Mr. Eugene Gauthier. Nurses were portrayed by Miss Jakie Upshaw, Miss Marina Herschuk, Miss Nancy Stewart, and Miss Mary Kennedy. The amiable judge was High School Principal, Elwyn Doubleday. The stellar student attraction consisted of The Silvermenw a well-drilled group of young men who presented three tableaux: Sports',, Sands of lwo Jimai' and Fountain of Youthv. These men were: Paul Mullen, Dick Hawley, Dick Hickey, Rick Hagopian, Bill Gorman, Bob Santanello, Bob Trin- ceri, Paul Benis, Charles Ingalls and Pete Rouette.

Gil Congdon Dick Hickey PCIITCIH Paul Mullen Rick Hagopian Bill Gorman Charlie Williams The East Longmeadow Spartans, after play- ing a four-game schedule in their first year to gain experience, entered the New Suburban League. Although the Spartan record of 2-4- does not seem too good, they played better foot- ball than the record shows, not losing a single game by more than two TD's. In all but one game, the first of the season against Minne- chaug, the Spartans were underdogs against their opponents. Bob Trinceri Bob Turner Football MINNECHAUG 0 SPARTANS 16 This was the hottest day of the season and it was hard for the Spartans to roll up a big score against inexperienced Minnechaug. It was a good defensive game all the way, but it was not until the end of the first half that the Spar- tan offense started to move.

Hard luck stopped the Spar- tans, not Palmer, as El.. had a TD called back because of a penalty. Late in the 4-th period, the Spartans attempted a field-goal which fell short, giving Pal- mer the ball on their 20 yard line. Pal- mer then scored a late TD to end our hopes. LUDLOW 20 SPARTANS 8 E.L. went into this game as heavy- underdogs, but the Spartans proved to be near disaster for the Jutetowners as Coach Coons developed the 4-41 defense. This was the only game of the season that was played in bad weather as it rained all through the game, keeping the Spartans on the ground, unable to pass. SOUTH HADLEY 6 SPARTANS 0 Tough luck continued as the Spartans were held scoreless for the first and only time this season. We just couldnit get our offense working. TANTASQUA 6 SPARTANS 12 Victory at last at the hands of the Indians. The victorious Spartan defense stopped All-Suburban League Fullback Fred LaBonte as Coach Coons again came up with a new defense, the straight- line. LONGMEADOW 28 SPARTANS 20 Maybe we didn't win, but we definitely put a scare into the over-confident Lan- cers. On the first play from scrimmage, a Homicz to I..aLima pass went all the way.

Mr. Charles Campbell, coach, was suddenly called into the Armed Forces at the beginning of the season. Assistant Coach, Mr. John Roan, well-known history teacher at ELHS, took over the Spartans and did an excellent job. We were proud to have two members of the All Pioneer Valley League Team in Co-Captain Bruce lVIacKechnie and Paul Benis. Our other Co-Captain Bill Burgess and fullback Peter Rouette made Honorable Mention on the same squad. 67 Co-Captains Bill Burgess and Bruce Mackechnie Leonard Wright Steve Forbush Don Stewart Paul Benis Bob Manning Jim Manning East Longmeadow East Longmeadow East Longmeadow East Longmeadow East Longmeadow East Longmeadow East Longmeadow East Longmeadow East Longmeadow East Longmeadow East Longmeadow East Longmeadow East Longmeadow 5 O 0 3 0 2 0 0 0 2 2 1 2 SCORING Trade ..... ....., Ludlow ..4... .,..,.

As an exceptional asset to the playing ability of the team, exchange student Frank O,Chieng con- tributed his versatile skill and experience to making the season a good one. Juniors who had an especially good year were, goalie Bill Carvell, wing, Bob Steele, and center- forward Bob Zeiler.

A year ago, the ELHS Spartans took to the ice for the first time as a school team. The season did not go too well for the Spartans, as they suffered a series of defeats which was enough to demoralize any strong-hearted team. But fired by the determination to do well in the future, this year saw a strengthened and determined team take the banners of ELHS on to victory through an undefeated season inthe Wright-Division Hockey League. Of the possible thirty points which could be gained by play in the league, the ELHS Spartans ended the season with a score of twenty-eight. The closest threat encoun- tered by the team occurred when two of the games played ended in ties for the home team. But these ties were easily set off by a series of stunning victories over each of these teams later in the season. Coach Coons and Assistant Coach Gauthier worked many long and hard hours with the boys in helping them achieve this great victory, an undefeated season. The team did its part too, by co-operating with the coaches and by working together as a perfectly synchronized machine. What helped the Spartans achieve such laurels in so short a time? Team work helped. Co-operation helped. Long hours and training helped a great deal. But one of the con- tributing factors came from ELRA who decided this year to build a new full-size rink on High School property. Be- ginning during the football season in the late fall, the graders went to work leveling a section of the grounds near the tennis courts. Within a very short time, the ground had been prepared and the fences were erected. The wait for the cold weather was the most annoying part of the process, but when the freeze finally set in, the Coach and the team accompanied by ELRA members took shifts watering the surface of the rink in order to build up a good coat of ice on which to practice. If we look at the team we can really say that there was no really great outstanding all-round player. Everyone did his part. Scoring was distributed among the three Spar- tan lines. The first line was composed of Jim Brock, ,lim Manning, and Terry Rockwood and they scored 241 goals. The second line, composed of Steve Forbush, Fred Haw- ley, and J im Guerney accounted for thirty-nine goals. The third line made up of Bob Zeiler, Bill Donovan and Ken Mosedale scored fourteen goals. Scoring was not the only asset the Spartans had, they also had the best defense in the league headed by Captain, Peter Rouette and All-Western Mass. Goalie, Wright-Division Tom Benton. Rouette acted as the police- man while our other defenseman, Dick Bennett added an extra scoring punch with his deliberate slap shot often found hard to stop, as he scored five goals. Benton al- lowed only 26 goals all season for a 1.73 goals per-game- average. The Spartans are losing only five men at graduation. They are, Steve Forbush, ,lim Manning, Pete Rouette, Fred Hawley, Terry Rockwood. This means that there will be plenty of material in the up-coming classes for the necessary strength and depth the Spartans will need if they are going to go places during the next couple of years. This team has arrived and is really on its way.

The Team faced a tough Archbishop Wil- liams Team which defeated them 3-1. The team did not feel let down however. The philosophy prevailed every team has its match , and came away from the game satisfied that they had done a line job. As these pictures show, the action was fast and furious and the team showed up well. Basketball 1962 VARSITY. Kneeling, l to r: Ken Blaisdell, Bob Trinceri, Gil Gongdon, Bob Steele, Bill Carvell.

Al- though not displaying the best record, we can easily call this season a success. A stunning victory over Monson at the beginning of the season, even without hard-working center Gil Congdon, really made the Spartans realize their potential. In another game, the sharp shooting of Bill Carvell, the able rebounding of Congdon and Skip Homicz along with the fine team-play of guards Bob Trinceri and Bob Steele, helped the Spartans outclass their arch-rival Minnechaug 70-43. The blooming rivalry with Longmeadow was given a boost in two clashes. Though the EL cagers showed determination and strength, they lost a heart-breaker to the Lancers 51-50. Because of their line sportsmanship and good play, the team was invited to participate in the Small Schools Basketball Tournament at Amherst. This is covered later more fully. The Spartan Hoopsters lose only four men at graduation, Gil Congdon, Dick Hickey, Ray Ellison, and Bob Trinceri. With the talent coming up in the J -V ranks and the men remaining on the squad, the Spartans look strong for the coming season. JUNIORVVARSITY. First row, l to r: Tim -Moore.

Gil Congdon was plagued with a sore left arm, and guard Bob Steele had spent the week battling a sore throat. Though both men started and played well, their eifectiveness was hampered slightly. The starting team consisted of forwards Skip Homicz and Billy Carvellg center, Gil Congdon, and guard, Bob Steele, back- court man, Bob Trinceri. Sidelined were Dave La Lima with the flu and Dick Hickey who had been out with a back injury since midseason. The Spartans stayed in the game midway through the second quarter when Gil Congdon and Bob Trinceri were saddled with four fouls each. This, plus the shooting trouble accounted for St. lVIichael's victory 66-42. Photo coverage for the game was provided by Dick Fish Company of Northhampton. partan Track 1962 SENIOR TRACK MEMBERS.

The one loss was to Agawam which defeat was avenged in the last part of the season and toppled Agawam from the lists of the undefeated. In the one triangular meet in which the team participated, they came in second. In the Western Mass. Track Meet, ELHS came in third in its class behind Minnechaug and Greenfield. One of the highlights of the West. Mass. Tourney was Ray Ellison's first place win in three events: high jump, broad jump, and high hurdle. In all, for the second season of the sport at ELHS, the season was a very successful one. 75 JUNIOR TRACK TEAM MEMBERS. Front Row, l to r: Robert Matthew, Robert A.

Spartans got oil to a slow start this season by losing their opener to Ludlow, 1-0. This, however, was not the story of the hard-fighting Spartans as they made a tre- mendous comeback toward the end of the season, winning seven straight including upsets over Longmeadow, Tech and Minnechaug. Bob Carlson and Bruce Mackechnie were the work-horses for the Spartans. Carlson beat Longmeadow and Minnechaug allowing only four hits in each game. Mackechnie turned in a gem against Classical, allowing only 5 hits as the Spartans' bats rattled 10 hits and 9 runs. Carlson ended the season with a 6-1 record, while Mackechnie posted a 3-3 record. 79 The biggest game for the Spartans was their trouncing of arch-rival Longmeadow, after losing their first encounter 4-2. Up for the game, and very enthusiastic, the ELHS team whipped the Lancers 9-2. Bob Carlson outclassed his pitching rival Jeff Hopkins, by fanning 15 men, while the Spartans collected five straight hits and scored live runs in the first inning to coast to an easy victory. The seven departing seniors will be sorely missed next Spring, for it is indeed difficult to envision the replacing of men who combined for 84 hits and 60 runs and led the team in virtually every defensive category. 1962 JUNIOR VARSITY.
