l dic uiicinuun Min arm oemurs on me way nome ior a nara nigni s “battle with the books” reflects a scene from the life of a Senior building his life for the future. SENIORS Heaven is not reached in a single bound; But we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, And we mount to its summit round by round. J. G. Holland As members of the graduating class, we are aware that we have not attained the ultimate in life, hut rather that we have merely completed a round of the ladder and we are now groping upward for the next. Twelve years ago we raised a small hand to grasp timidly the first round, and, moving upward, our intellectual and social horizons broad- ened; our grasp on life became more solid. Frequently we faltered, the upper round all but obscured from our view, but somehow we always managed to move upward, always managed to continue. Looking backward now as seniors, the ladder seems steep, but then, as we glance up toward the inscrutable summit, we realize the great amount of hard work as well as the great degree of perseverence that will be required of us if we are to attain the pinnacle. As we move through life and as we mount the ladder round by round, let us remember that when we build, we build forever. 11

HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1965 On June 13, 1962, vve, the Class of 1965 graduated from Birchland Park School with the impression that we were completing a por- tion of our lives and education. The follow- ign September, however, as we timidly entered East Longmeadow High School, we realized that our graduation months before had not been a termination of anything but rather a beginning, an introduction to a new and higher form of life and learning. Our first move toward the organization of our class as soph- omores was the election of class officers: Harry McGill, president; Stephen Brega, vice-presi- dent; Joyce Biekley, secretary; Jack Brock, treasurer; and Maureen Fox. member-at-large. Class advisors were Mr. David Nevin and Miss Gail Franzen. Our first activity was a dance, Club 65 ' ’, featuring a floor show by talented members of all three classes. The remainder of the year was spent in ordering class rings and in preparing to take the big step forward into our junior year. In May, elections for junior class officers were held with Harry Mc- Gill elected president; Carl Rydell, vice-presi- dent; Nancy Ferguson, secretary; Kenneth Farrell, treasurer; and Maureen Fox, member- at-large. The advisors for our class for the junior year were Mr. Robert Gosende and M iss Gail Franzen. As juniors, we were thrilled to receive our class rings, signifying that we were truly a part of the growing tradition of East Long- meadow High School. During the winter, we sponsored a tobogganing party at the Fran- Mr. Francis Dutille Mrs. Valerie Cole Class Advisor Class Advisor conia Golf Course. As the “As Schools Match Wits” team went on the air, juniors Carolyn Lopes and Randolph Dominic joined veteran seniors Glenn Curtis and Carolyn Maclntire in winning some thrilling games. The whole clasi soon began to look forward to the Junior Prom. With “April in Paris” as the theme, the committees settled down to some planning and hard work. Heading these committees were Carl Rydell, general chairman; Nancy Fer- guson, entertainment; Maureen Fox, invita- tions; Melanie Rockwood and Una Roberts, decorations; Karen Silverman, publicity; Guy Lindwall and Kenneth Farrell, tickets; and Charles Williams, refreshments. Finally, on April 18, 1964, the big night arrived and we found a small part of Paris in our gaily dec- orated gym. Here we crowned Nancy Waide prom queen; her court consisted of Maureen Fox and Jill Orsini. In May, twenty-two mem- bers of our class were inducted into the Na- tional Honor Society. They were Mary Ar- lotta, Linda Burr, Judith Creeger, Randolph Dominic, Nancy Ferguson, Gary Howe, Sarah Ives, Lorraine Kapinos, Jane Kjoller, Carolyn Lopes, William Mailler, Victoria Miller, Donna Pariseau, Bruce Ramey, Melanie Rock- wood, Ramon Rosati, Joan Schmidt, Katherine Osterman, Gail Smith, Russell Snow, Martha Strandberg, and Nancy Waide. This organiza- tion chose the following officers: Gary Howe,
