This is Volume II of the AEGIS to shield you from the forgetfulness of time and to give you a changless memory of your years here. The knowledge we have gained will help us to shape our future, and our future memories. On us lies the future, and we make of it what we will, even as we have done in the past. Now, as we separate, we have made a record of our time spent here, to keep in memory, the teachers who helped us, the many clubs and activities here, the games, the proms, the many activities of the high school that we will not always remember, but which we do not wish to forget. We should remember as we graduate from ELHS to do credit always to our instruction with lives which show its value.

The untiring work of our Superintendent of Schools has reflected his interest in each of us and the progress of education in East Longmeadow. Mr. Jarvis was graduated from Technical High School, Springfield, and received his bachelors and masters degrees from Tufts University. He has done further study at Boston University, Harvard, and the University of Massachusetts. He became superintendent in East Longmeadow in August of 1953. He is ailife member of the P.T.A., a member of the National Education Association and the American Association of Superintendents. As a memento of his many years of service to us and our town we the Class of 1963 dedicate this Volume of the AEGIS with grateful appreciation and our sincerest hopes for many years of continued service. SUPERINTENDENTS MESSAGE The "Remembrance of the Past" is a fitting theme for your issue of the AEGIS because it is an historical record of your senior year at East Longmeadow High School which you will treasure more and more as time goes on. Although eagerness to face the future with courage and deter- mination is a characteristic of American youth which has made our nation great, the importance of the past should not be minimized. The past teaches us that success is often achieved only after repeated failures and hardships. Brief thought leads us to the conclusion that our vast store of present day knowledge is a result of the discoveries and lessons of a prior generation. School is an excellent place in which to learn by first hand experience. It is our hope that you have gained a basic knowledge in several academic fields and that you have learned certain truths which have been proved by generations of men and women. Among these are: to have friends you must be a friend, to be trusted you must be trustworthy, to be true to thyself and it must follow as night the day that you cannot be untrue to any man. Your fine record of achievement, both as a class and individually, makes it worthy of note. We know from the history of the past that you will go forward into the future to bring honor and prestige to yourselves, your family, and your community. ROBERT J. JARVIS Superintendent of Schools SCHOOL COMMITTEE EAST LONGMEADOW SCHOOL COMMITTEE: Seated l to r, Mr. Ray S. Jones, Mr. jarnes B Punderson, Mr. Gerald Osterman. Standing l to r, Mr. James M. Towle, Mr. Donald Bremner Each year, as graduation time approaches, we feel a resurgence of pride in the caliber of you young men and women who are the product of your homes and your school system. In addition to the general knowledge you are taking away with you, you have twelve years of compounded remembrances-of books and of teachers, of building and of playgrounds, of a variety of out-of-class activities and a host of familiar faces. We hope the educational policies we have worked to develop over the years have given you the best possible basis on which to approach the next phase of your lives. We commend your attainments, appreciate the challanges you face, and have confidence You will fulfill your life roles with courage, dignity and humor. James B. Punderson, Chairman Donald Bremner, Secretary Ray S. Jones Gerald Osterman James M. Towle 6 ADMINISTRATION and STAFF The office. What meanings does this phrase hold for students as they pass through the building? What memories do students have of this office? It is a place of welcome to the stranger and the visitor. It is a place of guidance and advice to the student. It is a place of welcome to the faculty. Our oflice has been marked by an "open door policy" since this school was opened. Through this policy everyone has come to live a richer more full school life. Certainly the memories we have of the office will be cherished ones. The morale boosting, the advice, yes, even the aspirins for headaches will be remem- bered as the years go on. Indeed, our office means much to us, and the staff to which it introduces us, means a great deal also. THE PRINCIPAL SPEAKS There are many strange things to be treasured in this life, and one of the most treasured possessions of any person is his store of memories. Memories are many thingshfor each of us. They recall our friends, our youth, our joys, our sorrows. Memories are based upon our past experiences, and from our memo- ries we may draw solutions to present-day problems. Memories provide relaxation, a place "to get away from it all" when the cares of life and work press too close upon us. In an ever-changing world, when life slips away from us all too quickly, memories provide a bit of the un- changeable. Memories also provide us with a bit of the immortal. The most interesting facet of memories is perhaps this dual role. For we remember things as they were, they do not change for us. We remember the Prom as we danced within its dreamy atmosphere, we remember our teachers as we last saw them, we remember our friends as we best knew them. The theme of this issue of the AEGIS centers around your memories of East Longmeadow High School. It is only a partial record of your memories, but it is a record that will in the future evoke an even greater flood of rec- ollection as you look through the pictures and think aloud or silently, to others or to yourself, "Do you remem- ber when . . or "I remember him, he . . From the experiences which nurture your memories of ELI-IS, we hope that you draw solutions for some of the problems which lie ahead of you. From your memories draw on the advice of your teachers and recall those points emphasized inside and outside the classroom which will give you strength to live your life from day to day. I recall part of the message of my principal to the graduating class more than a quarter of a century ago. It is a poem by Robert Whitaker. "Live for something, have a purpose, And that purpose keep in view, Drifting like a helpless vessel, Thou canst ne'er to life be true, Half the wrecks that strew life's ocean, If some star had been their guide, Might have long been riding safely- But they drifted with the tide." Perhaps its meaning will be an inspiration to you also- memories are wonderful things. They work both ways. And your records of accomplishment here will enable us to remember you in the future as you were. Your memo- ries here are your share of the traditions of this school. Best of luck to you in the days ahead. ELWYN J. DOUBLEDAY Principal 9 MR. ARMAND FUSCO Director of Guidance A NOTE OF THANKS The Guidance Department of the East Long- meadow School System offers the students of the high school every opportunity to plan and prepare for the future. Much help has gone to the senior class in providing information about colleges and the availability of scholarships and assistance. In- formation about careers offered in fields other than the academic is also offered to the members of the the senior class. The members of the Class of 1963 wish to thank Mr. Armand Fusco and his staff for all their assistance. Mr. Arthur Hottin Guidance Councelor FACULTY SALUTE Our teachers will have a major part in all our memories. Their lessons will, we hope, stay with us, but more than that, we will remember their willingness to help us, whether in extra help or in our many activities. The memories of our sports, plays, dances, even our graduation are all entwined with the memories-of teachers who gave time and effort to make our high school years memorable. For all these things we say thank you, and we will prove our gratitude by the use of the knowledge you have endeavored to give us. MRS. GLADYS. W. ADAMS MISS BARBARA BRAIGEL MR.

The sun streaming through the great windows, seems to be the light of the future beckoning the seniors of this class toward promises and delights unknown. As the seniors leave this building, and the comfort ir has offered, it is fitting that they should remember the second floor in the late afternoon. These seniors walk for the last time down ,the halls of the classroom wing that has marked, for them, an educational home for the past three years. What are their thoughts? What are they saying? Where will they go? What memories will they treasure forever? These are questions which are asked as the senior class marches into history. 1,,1e:ff1virii'1 we .,,.. ., HISTORY of the DAVID LALIMA BRYAN PLUMB ROBERT A. NELSON CLASS Of President, 59-60, Vice-President, 59-60, Member, Student Council, Member-At-Large, 61-62. President, 60-61, 59-62. Many times it has been said that the new, low, modern high school of today is quite similar, both in appearance and performance, to a factory. The students seem to enter one end and leave the other, as a class, all packaged and sealed and ready for a business or college career. Yet, unlike the thousands of exact reproductions that pour off the end of an assembly line, the classes that leave a high school are different in many ways, each being unique in its own way. Also unlike the factory which turns out hundreds of articles each day, the high school graduates a class only after 12 long years of study in the elementary, junior high, and high school levels. These are years of study to prepare us for the day when we must face the world on our own with our education serving as the sword with which we will defend ourselves and carve our place in the future. The class of 1962, upon graduating from East Long- meadow High School, boasted of being the first class ever to graduate from our school. The class of 1964, immedi- ately behind us, will be proud of being the first-and probably only-class to graduate having served four suc- cessive years in the high school. We, the second in line of these first three classes to attend the new school, are a unique class also. We are as proud, if not prouder, to be the first class to graduate from ELHS having served the entirety of our 12 years of schooling in the wonderful town of East Longmeadow. Many of our original class- mates have departed for other corners of the country, if not the world, and many more have come to East Long- meadow from neighboring and distant towns and cities. However, the majority of the members of the Class of 1963 have spent their entire school lives in "our town." Most of us started in either Pleasantview or Center School and from there went either to Maple Shade or to Birchland Park. In these last two schools we finished our elementary years of learning the fundamentals of reading, writing, and 'rithmatic. Then in the fall of 1957 came something new: junior high school at Birchland Park. During those f1rst few weeks of junior high school we were all enraptured by the new experience of changing classes and teachers for different subjects. Those three happy and carefree years went by so quickly. Yes, before we knew it we were the "old timers" at Birchland. The school year 1959-60 served to be a significant one for our class. It was our senior year in junior high and we enjoyed every minute of it. Our class officers were elected early in the year: David LaLima, President, Bryan Plumb, Vice Presidentg Michael Prendergast, Treasurer, and Susan Byrne, Secretary. Though we did not do much as a class, our officers proved to be mighty important when grad- uation neared. Our enthusiasm was high and when we weren't studying sciences, math, English or a foreign lan- gauge, we were participating in the many athletic, musi- cal, and social activities during the year. Remember Open Vice-President, 61-62. House 1960, the Student-Varsity Game, the many school dances, I Remember Mama by the Drama Club, and our newspaper, the Birchland Banner? The Student Govern- ment also played an important role in the extra-curricular life at Birchland that year. Yes, we were the joyous seniors, the admired leaders, and we proved it with our fiery spirit at the games. Ninth graders proved to be significant to the varsity athletic squads. Our basketball team, all seniors, was almost un- defeated that year, losing only the first game to Somers by 1 point and sweeping away the other 13 contests, in- cluding the Longmeadow freshmen. The baseball team followed through with another good' record to make it a thrilling year all around. Though'we were spirited, when the time came to "hit the books" we all buckled down to study our basic majors, music, shop and home economics. We were anxious to prepare ourselves for the 3 years of high school life ahead. This anxiety was sparked as we watched that "massive complex of stone and steel," East Longmeadow High School, slowly rising out of the ground on Maple Street. Time passed so quickly and graduation night, June 10, 1960, found many a shaky knee as 152 students marched into the Birchland Park gymnasium to the chords of Pomp and Circumrlance. David LaLima greeted our happy parents and then a score of us had an opportunity to recite before the audience of 800. As we accepted our diplomas each of us felt a sigh of relief as many "wonderful memories and mixed emotions" flashed in our minds. We were sorry to leave the school we loved so much but we were ready and willing to accept the challenge of high school life the following September in the new high school. The summer of 1960 sped by, as they all do, and in September we entered East Longmeadow High School as the sophomore class. We were class number two of the first three classes to attend ELHS in its first and most difiicult year. Our past years in the East Longmeadow School System had prepared us well for this new scholas- tic challenge and our class spirit, carried from our senior year at Birchland, seemed to triple at "the very first whistle of our very first football game." An early event in the year was the election of class officers and Student Government members, following three days of hard campaigning with lively speeches and flashy buttons and posters. Our new Executive Committee con- sisted of Bryan Plumb, Presidentg James Brock, Vice Presi- dentg Angela Rafaele, Secretary: and Bob Lloyd, Treasurer. Our class really began to work as a unit, supervised by Mrs. Adams. We attended regular class meetings, collected dues for the treasuryg sponsored the first sophomore dance, Cupid? Wloirl, which was a whirling success, ordered class rings for our junior year, and wrote an excellent consti- tution to insure smooth operation of the class at all times. Our Student Government representatives were Kathleen 2 Donovan, Secretary, Carole Betterley, Robert A. Nelson, Linda Valade, and Donna Wood.. Sophomores were valu- able in helping to create, or anize, and carry out all the many, new, ELHS activities t at first year. Remember the first edition of Spartan Spirit the first fashion show, the science fair, Music Night '61 the first Longmeadow foot- ball game, the Spotlighters' p esentation of Murder Comes in Tbreeyf and the first bask tball game? The Student Government d'd a lot that year to help put the school on its feet. The "SG" and the Leaders Club sponsored a "sock-hop" on J nuary 6, 1961, attended by over 200 students. Two sop omores, Sue Weferling and Bob Lloyd, won prizes for the funniest socks. The Student- Faculty Game, March 5, included a volleyball game between the girls and women faculty and a basketball game between the varsity squad and the men faculty. The Class of 1965 helped choose the school colors, scarlet and silver, and the name "Spartans" Wherever you heard the word Spartans or saw the letters ELHS that first year, you knew there was a spirited sophomore somewhere. By the end of the year a school emblem, the Spartan head, had been chosen. New activities and organizations seemed to spring up from every corner bf the school and "gung-ho sophs" pitched right in with the juniors and freshmen to lay a -scholastic and extra-curricular foundation for the future ELHS classes. Lack of competitive experience and seniors didn't bother our first Spartan athletic squads, soccer, football, basketball, hockey, baseball, and track, it only toughened them up .for the following year in varsity competition. As. if it wasn't a the activities in a brand new usy enough year organizing igh school, the Class of '63 held its first picnic at Look Pa Ck on June 9 to top off the year with another successful and pleasurable event. A rough and tough first year couldn't dampen our spunky, Spartan spirits as we returned in September of 1961 as junior. We were ready to employ our trial and error experience and apply it towards a more successful second year. We were ready tio continue "building" East Longmeadow High School, and we did. The first activity to greet the student body that fall was a highly successful Bonfire Pep Rally, which drew a crowd of more than 1,000 to cheer the football team into its Hrst varsity victory the following afternoon at our home field. We toppled Minne- chaug 16-O for the first game of the season. The squad finished the 1961 season with a 2-4 record. Remember that big Longmeadow game which ,we so unluckily lost 28-20 in the last few minutes of playj? The soccer Spartans com- piled a good record for their ,first year of competition in the Pioneer Valley Soccer League, finishing 6-5-2. By the end of September m conscientiously back at the boo lastic record for our senior year lege application. Our junior cla the preceding spring and they of things" by re-electing Mrs. , The oliicers were James Brocl- ost of the junior class was ks to compile a good scho- and in preparation for col- ss officers had been elected got right into "the swing Adams as our class advisor. 1, President, Bryan Plumb, Vice President, Charles Bicklery, Treasurer, Beryl Lacey, Secretary, and David LaLima, ll Touchdown Stomp was held Iember-at-Large. The dance, Saturday, October 28, and was sponsored by the junior class, following a splashy Spartan football victory over Tantasqua High. By the time the winter holiday season rolled around, the entire school was "rockin' and rollin' " with activity. In December the music department proudly announced that more than twelve ELHS vocalists and instrumentalists would participate in the All-District Concert. The next class event on our list of many was the skating party, held at the high school's new rink. The weather was cold, but hot chocolate provided a little bit of warmth for those juniors who lacked the comfort of a date's hand. A crystal clear sky dotted with sparkling winter stars added to the enjoyment had by all. On January 20, 1962, there occured a "first" for not only the high school but also for the wonderful town people who supported and witnessed the smashing success, Spar- nmum Spertaculum. Many juniors did an excellent job in their participation in our first talent show, named by classmate Carole Betterley. As in the previous years, a very competent Student Government supplemented ELHS activ- ities. Junior members of the "SG" were Skip Homicz, Treasurer, Donna Wood, Kathleen Donovan, Carole Bet- terley, and Robert A. Nelson. The many Student Govern- ment sponsored activities for the year included the Sadie Hawkins Dance, the Varsity-Faculty-Parent Night, the design and sale of our first school banners, and an informal reception for Frank Ocheing, our African exchange student. The entire winter season proved to be a very active one for East Longmeadow High School in many, many ways. Ted Kennedy spoke for more than an hour to the total student body, telling of the situation in Central America and answering students' questions after a most interesting presentation. Experience from our first year of athletic competition was the key factor as the Spartan Hockey Team took the ice for 15 straight victories to become the Wright Division League Champions. As a result of this perfect season the Spartans faced a tough Archbishop Williams team in the Massachusetts State Schoolboy Tournament in Boston. The action at the tournament was fast and furious but our "go get 'em" team returned to East Longmeadow after a hard fought 3-1 defeat. Our basketball team for the 1961-62 season finished with a 9-10 record and then faced a powerful St. Michael's opponent in the 1962 Small Schools Basketball Tourna- ment at the University of Massachusetts. An audience of devoted Spartans cheered on a conscientious team which buckled under to a 66-42 loss. As the school year '61-62 rounded the far turn into the carefree season of spring, the ELHS activities continued their steady pace right to the finish line in June. The music department presented Music Night '62 and later in the year the band and chorus attended the Western Massa- chusetts Music Festival in Athol. East Longmeadow High School sent four Spartan politicians to the 22nd Annual A.1.C. Model Congress. The 1962 Science Fair was a superb exhibition of technical projects and department facilities. On April 14, the Spotlighters presented a tre- mendously amusing rendition of Our Miss Brooks. Exactly one-half of the cast were energetic juniors. By the end of JAMES BROCK President, 61-62, Vice-President, 60-61. ANGELA RAFFAELE Secretary, 60-61. CHARLES BICKLEY ' Treasurer, 61-62. BERYL LACEY Secretary, 61-62. ROBERT LLOYD Treasurer, 60-61. BEVERLEE LUNDGREN Secretary, 62-63. the winter season our class had designed our own class banner and had presented it to Mr. Doubleday. In the spring a young man's fancy normally turns to love, but this is apparently not so for Spartan athletes. Our boys turned instead to the competition of baseball and track, and in so doing turned out a pair of good athletic records. Spartan track finished 4-1 in single meets, 2nd in a tri-meet with Minnechaug and Longmeadow, and 3rd in the Western Massachusetts Tourney. The base- ball Spartan 9 finished the season 10-5 and pitching class- mate Bob Carlson polished Longmeadow in a 9-2 thriller. Finally, as the end of the school year approached, joyous juniors were looking forward to something bigger and better than the last day of shcool, the Junior Prom 1962. As a class we had reached another plateau, our first prom. Scores of persistent classmates put their noses to the grindstone and worked hard to make Bali Hai a tremendous success, despite a near tragedy when a pipe burst, flooding our decorations. On the evening of May 11, 1962 dreamy-eyed juniors and their dates found them- selves dancing romantically to enchanting music under beautiful, tropical decorations. Pretty Kathy Donovan was crowned Prom Queen by Mary Burgess. Linda Valade and Barbara Paounoff formed an equally lovely court. The end of our junior year also witnessed the induction of 12 classmates in the National Honor Society. These twelve examples of outstanding scholastic achievement were Sarah Brooks, Bob Steele, Elizabeth Haskins, Larry MacDonald, Skip Homicz, Carole Betterley, Jean Kapinos, Judy Leddy, Helen Powers, Charles Bickley, and Michael Casey. The last weeks of school saw fellow juniors battling away with their campaigns for final bids in high school politics. Yes, our class officers were elected: Bryan Plumb, President, James Brock, Vice President, Charles Bickley, Treasurer, Beverlee Lundgren, Secretary, and Robert A. Nelson, Member-at-Large. Our senior Student Govern- ment members would be Skip Homicz, President, Carole Betterley, Vice President, Jean Kapinos, Secretary, Kath- leen Donovan, Treasurer, Bob Steeleg and Donna Wood. Our Executive Committee busily began preparing for the big year ahead by choosing our co-advisors, Mrs. Adams and Mr. Dutille. Mrs. Adams' experience with our class in the past year coupled with Mr. Dutille's experi- ence with a senior class proved to be an unbeatable combination. Yes, it was hard to believe, but in a few short weeks we would actually be the celebrated seniors in East Long- meadow High School, as the Class of 1962 would receive their long awaited diplomas. And, oh how those last few weeks were so busily occupied. Volume One of the Aegis, our own high school yearbook, arrived at 180 Maple Street and for the next few days all that could be seen was the fiashing of red covers as yearbooks were passed here and there to be signed by our classmates and close friends who would soon be leaving "good old" ELHS. We ordered our senior hats, to be handed out early the following year, and chose red as the background color with white lettering. We watched with envy as our upper classmates so scrumptuously enjoyed their last few days of high school life, supplemented with such rapturous senior activities as the senior ball and the class banquet. We laughed with sentimentality in our hearts as the Class of 1962 presented their Class Day Exercises. The Class Prophecy reminded us of the future and the good times to be had next year. The Class Ballot reminded us of the many, many friends we had made in both the upper and lower classes. The Class Will reminded us of the scores of good times we had already had in ELHS. We were sad to see old friends leave but We were anxious to accept the challenge of a bright, crisp,'new senior year ahead. Finally, on June 6, 1962, our ultimate dream came true as tearful seniors became alumni and joyous juniors became the upper-classmen. V This has been a history of our class right till the day when we entered East Longmeadow High School as the official class on September 5, 1962. There is no reason to continue in writing beyond that point. A picture, so it is said, is worth a thousand words and the formal and candid pictures in this Aegix, our yearbook, continues the story of our class through its entire senior year. The three years that the Class of 1963 has spent in ELHS have been tedious at times, but oh, so enjoyable. We are the second in line of the first three classes to attend and graduate from East Longmeadow High School. Creating the repu- tation for a high school in its first couple of years is no easy task. On the shoulders of these first three classes were laid the responsibilities and burdens of "building" our high school. Though we may be the smallest class ever to graduate from ELHS, our contribution is as sig- nificant and as great as any other. All of these first three classes have continued equally in making East Long- meadow High School the wonderful school that it is. No class could have done it alone. It was through a united effort that ELHS was put off on the right foot. These three classes have been so close for two years that it is our fond wish to some day have one reunion of the "best" three classes ever to graduate from our school. These classes are the foundation upon which the future East Longmeadow High School will rest. We are proud, very proud, to be a cornerstone of this foundation. This is a history of our class during the best of its days, days that are gone forever, days that cannot be relived, our high school days. This is a history of trials, errors, tears, smiles, failures, and successes. The History Committee of the Class of 1963 would like to end this history with the following passage as quoted from Volume One of the Aegis, in hopes that it will become tradition in ending all ELHS class histories. "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'." The History Committee of the Class of 1965 Bryan Plumb, Chairman Linda Valade Carole Betterley Caught in the act, Paul. l':5E'5?:,1'?iI,gg IG. 4 X A ., E.: . Q: X, 0 1 is 3.

Under the chairmanship of Karen Trembley, with the able assistance of her'aides, Barbara PaounoH and Elizabeth Haskins, "Bali Ha'i" was a huge success. This success also resulted from the concentrated efforts of the many participating students and the committee chairmen who were as follows: Susan Byrne, decorations, Susan Weferling, tickets, Mary Lou Logan, publicity, and Robert Scagni, refreshments. When the long awaited evening finally arrived, all students' expectations were fulfilled including the crowning of the elected prom queen, Kathy Donovan, and her court members, Barbara Paounoff and Linda Valade. "Bali Ha'i" was a notable triumph for the Class of 1963 as the entire evening demonstrated from its beginning at 8 o'clock with the receiving line to the final note of "Bali Ha'i" at midnight, all of which shall long be re- membered.

ELHS PARTICIPATES IN STATE DEPARTMENT PROGRAM As a part of the current Department of Health Edu- cation and Welfare program Teacher Development Pro- gram, East Longmeadow High School warmly welcomed Sr. Romolu Oswaldo Comacho Quequezana, an English teacher from Peru. During his three Week stay in East Longmeadow, Sr. Comacho was given the opportunity to Visit with and to observe our school system at all levels. Sr. Comacho spent most of his time in the high school visiting classes, observing pupils at work and play, and teaching classes in Spanish. As a part of his program here, Sr. Comacho addressed the entire student body and told them of his country, Peru. At the end of the assembly, Sr. Comacho answered questions from the students, deal- ing with education, teen-age life, climate, geography of Peru. He was tendered a farewell reception by the faculty of the high school before his departure. The senior class of ELHS feels privileged that Sr. Comacho was able to visit the school and be a part of its life for even a short time, and wishes him "mucho suertef' L to r, Mr. Robert Jarvis, Superintendent of Schools, Nancy Maciolek, student representative who spoke on behalf of the students wishing Sr. Comacho well, Sr. Comacho, Mr. Elwyn J. Doubleday, Principal of the high school. Mr. Marvin Bryan of the high school faculty wishes Sr. Comacho good luck in the future as Mr. Doubleday, Principal, looks on. , . 1 . 4 sci We XXX National Seal of Peru Mr. Doubleday and Mr. Comacho at the student assembly where Sr. Comacho answered student questions about Peru. UNDERCLASSES The late bus after school leaves the building empty and alone and another day ends at ELHS. This is cer- tainly one of the most powerful memories we shall always recall after we leave this building. School busses are a way of life with the majority of students in East Longmeadow. They provide a place of relaxation and a place for forming new friendships. Those of us who have ever ridden on the busses know that they are in- despensable to a way of life we are leaving for a time. May they continue to do their work willingly and well.

ACTIVITIES It is hard to picture activities for they bring back so many memories to us that it is impossible to pin- point them all. Yet what better place to remember ac- tivities than the auditorium and its stage where so many wonderful events in the life of our school have been held. The talent shows with their wit and humor. The school plays with their serious and happy mo- ments. The music nights where we heard songs that would make the angels jealous. The pep rallies and the assemblies which were uplifting and enjoyable and so much a part of our education. The place where we were introduced three short years ago to the life of our school and our teachers and our fellow students. This is the capsule of thought that captures our mind as we see the auditorium and its stage from this angle. We remember so many things. We forget so much also. Let's hope that the images captured forever on these pages help us to keep in mind the life of our school as we lived it. And may these same pages carry to the students of the future the inspiration to build tradition for the future.

Our hard-working Field Hockey team held a record of 2 ties, 1 loss for the fall season. The Basketball team held a record of 2 wins and 1 loss. The Gymnastics team had only one meet this year but they plan more for future years. One of the specialities of the high school is' the Leaders' Club. Besides helping out in the gym classes, these girls set examples for the student body. The teams are instructed by Miss Jakie Upshaw, girls physical education teacher. Of course, we cannot forget the Majorettes and Cheerleaders. The Ma- jorettes are getting into shape for the Music Festival held each spring. We must also remember the girls who have led cheers for our teams. They have worked as hard as the boys, but seemed to be overlooked when the team reaches victory. The cheerleaders are under the direction of Miss Marina Herschuk and the majorettes are under the direction of Mrs. Robert Haley. We hope that there will be a con- tinued interest in these sports. Keep up the good records girls! LEADERS CLUB, Front Row, l to r: L. Valade, P. Couri, S. Yeaton, S. Sandin, C. Noceti. Back Row, l to r: B. Lacey, S. Weferling, B. Bendtson, C.

SPARTANUM SPECTACULUM II December 15 saw the second edition of Spazrtanum Specmculum, the annual student talent show. Master of Ceremonies was Brian johnson, and the Student Director was Carole Betrerley, a member of the Class of 196-3. Several acts were represented in the show, among the more notable were the Silvermen making a return appear- ance, the faculty presenting a rendition of "Soldier, soldier, will you marry me?,' A visit from -Santa Claus, and the cheerleaders in "Mississippi Mud," were other enjoyable highlights. Some of the highlights are recorded for posterity with, it is hoped, appropriate comments. Tastes better than the seventy-cent spread. 19 SPECTACULUM "...4,5,2,1,..:' 'Wap So mce to come home to High Stepping Srrutrers Anyone for a swim? Le r, Mrs. K. Directs.

But think of the memories there are within those walls. Memories of dances and games come flooding back as we stand at the door and watch a class at practice. But it is the games that we remember the most. The tight squeak with Minne- chaug, the time that the Lancers trounced us on our own court. The thrilling layups and the roar of the crowd all press in and brighten the picture for us. And as we watch the mental pictures of the stars per- form within our thoughts, we remember how they looked when they were giving their all for ELHS. And as we look about us today, we see the new material coming up through the grades. And we know that ELHS will continue to have scrappy teams in the years to come and that the Spartan will continue to march on to victory. 1962 ELHS SPARTAN FOOTBALL TEAM FRONT ROW, 1 to r: G.

Brian Wilkins Charles Ingalls Mark Cosman SPARTAN FOOTBALL The East Longmeadow Spartans, playing their second season of Suburban League ball, complied a 3-4 record, bettering last year's record by a single game. Although the Spartans started off the season with three straight victories, they faltered going in the last part of the season to account for their 3-4 showing. PALMER 6 SPARTANS 12 There were- some anxious moments before the Spartans chalked up a six-pointer late in the final period to put the finishing touches on the hard-hitting Palmer gridmen. MINNECHAUG 6 SPARTANS 18 The Spartans scored the first time they got their hands on the ball, and using a sustained drive of 55 yards and a blocked punt for another score, ran up three successive touchdowns for the margin of victory. CLASSICAL 8 SPARTANS 14 Classical started off as if it meant to upset the Spartans, moving down to the E.L. 12 before the defense came to life and stopped the threat. Dave LaLima, team scoring leader, then came to life and cracked over for two touchdowns and the winning margin, as Classical scored in the third period. SOUTH HADLEY 12 SPARTANS 0 The Spartans were handed their first loss and held scoreless for the first and only time all season by a determined South Hadley team. We just couldn't get our offense working. Skip Homicz David LaLima Gary Regnier Robert Nelson SPARTAN FOOTBALL LUDLOW 24 SPARTANS 6 Ludlow racked up the biggest score of the year against the Spartans and handed them their second league set-back. ENFIELD 14 SPARTANS 8 E.L. went into this game as heavy underdogs, but played the best game of the year. After the Raiders had converted a fumble for a 6-0 score, the Spartans came pounding back to tie and go ahead 8-6. This was not the end, unfortunately, as the Raiders intercepted a Homicz aerial and scored with just under two minutes remaining. LONGMEADOW 20 SPARTANS 6 In the biggest game of the year, the Spartans met Longmeadow, unbeaten in six league games. It was an even game mid-way through the second session, 14-6 Lancers. But, Longmeadow exploded for one more touchdown to insure victory despite the failure of a Homicz to Wilkins desperation pass in the closing minutes.

SOCCER SEASON SERIES OF SETBACKS-MUCH HOPE FOR NEXT YEAR The East Longmeadow High School soccer team, competing in its second season in the Pioneer Valley Soccer League, experienced a dissappointing year. Led by co- captains Bill Carvell and Bob Steele, we finished with a 1-9-2 record, but this record doesn't tell the whole story. The team played fairly well but just didn't seem to be able to get the necessary goals at the right time. Most of the games were hard fought and fairly close, and many could have been won with a few breaks. This season could be termed a building season. The starting lineup, as well as the reserves, were mainly underclassmen who will be returning next year. This exper- ience and depth will be a great asset to next year's team. Underclassmen who had a good year include Buddy Swayger, Skip Griffin, Jon Schrade, Bill Donovan, Ken Blaisdell, Bill Freise, and Bob Zeiler. We were proud to have one member of the team, co-captain Bob Steele, on the First Team of the Pioneer Valley All Star Team. Furthermore, Ken Blaisdell and Bill Freise both made honorable mention on the same team. Only five seniors will be lost at graduation: Bill Carvell, Bob Steele, Chuck Bick- ley, Bob Scagni, and Mike Casey. To be sure, Coach Campbell will have some good material from which to mold a team that should go a long way in the Pioneer Valley League next year.

These seem to be the sentiments reflected by the series of defeats which was enough to demoralize any team. One look at the scoring results tells the story. The team really needs to work so that it will have better luck next year. It is hoped that the defeats of this season will provide the necessary push to make them work harder for victory.

The varsity team found the going rough, with victories being hard to come by. The sharp shooting of Bill Carvell and Skip Homicz enabled the team to get its first victory against Ware on the Spartan Court. During the Christmas Holidays, the team was invited to participate in the Springfield College Invitation Tournament. A good team effort produced a surprising victory over a tall and heavily favored Minnechaug Team. The team took the runner-up spot in that event. In a game with Technical of Springfield, EL held the lead through most of the first half, but the team could not keep it when its two top rebounders Dave LaLima and Skip Homicz got into trouble with fouls. Chuck Bickley, Bob Steele, Bill Carvell and Skip Homicz graduate in June, leaving Ken Blaisdell the only returning letterman. With some good material coming up' from the JV ranks, next year's team may be able to compile a good record. 1965 VARSITY Front Row, l to r: B. Johnson, B. Car- vell, C. Bickley. Second Row: G.

Taking part actively in dual meets, the ELHS Spartans won their last three successive track meets to finish the season with a record of 4 wins and 4 losses. The Spartans showed line form against schools with long histories of track achievement. One of the highlights of the season was the victory over the Long- meadow Lancers. The Spartans placed third in their class in the Western Massachusetts Track Tournament behind Minne- chaug and Amherst. Glenn Curtis, Richard Bennett, and David LaLima were chosen to compete in the state meet in Boston, where they all gave fine performances. Dave LaLima, who was the spark of the team all season, was elected captain of the team. At the conclusion of the season, the team sponsored an intramural track meet in which the Senior class won, followed by the Freshman class and last but not least the Junior class. In all, the third season of the track team was a successful one. FRESHMEN TRACK TEAM MEMBERS Front Row, l to r: W. Amos, P. Ouellette, R. Snow, P. Ramey, R. Warner, R. Gorman, G. Gamache.

The Great Road Race "Gotcha! " Where'd it go? BASEBALL, 1965 The Spartan baseball team started and ended its season in fine fashion, posting identical 5-3 wins over Minnechaug and Agawam. Inibetween, however, was a horse of a different color as the Spartans won 3 and lost l2 for a final record of 5 and 12. This record does not indicate the true potential of the team as they were not really out of any game. Included in their five wins were impressive victories over league leading South Had- ley, Ludlow, and Agawam. Next yearls team will be greatly handicapped by the loss of four valuable seniors, Bob Carlson, the team's top pitcher, Mike Prendergast, the top hitter for three years, and Bob Steele and Brian Wilkins, who play steady defensive games and came through with many clutch hits. One of the bright spots of the year was the play of Fresh- men Bud McGuill and Ken Farrell. Farrell, who turned in a couple of fine mound jobs, will be relied upon heavily next year to carry the major part of the pitching assignments. 1963 VARSITY BASEBALL SQUAD Front Row l to r: G.
