Miss Kristine Shonak, in her first year as a member of the faculty, teaches BSCS-Biology, Modern Bi- ology, and Earth Science. After serving his initial teaching year at Birchland Park, Mr. Gary Bunce is now a teacher of Modern Biology. Earth Science, and General Sci- ence. Two years old, Patterns and Processes is the newest addition to the many branches of science. Like Earth Science and General Science. Patterns and Processes is gauged to those who are less scientifically inclined. To gain a more practical approach to the natural sciences, laboratory peri- ods for Advanced Chemistry and Advanced Biology have been lengthened, and laboratory work expanded in Physics. Chemistry, and Modern Biology. Investigation programs have also been estab- lished for specific areas of BSCS- Biology and Patterns and Pro- cesses. Chemistry Study labs for Chemistry and PSSC labs in Physics are also a part of our expanded and improved Science Department. New Teachers and New Approaches Highlight Science and English De- partments 20 Four new teachers joined the ENG- LISH DEPARTMENT this year— Mr. Irwin Kerson, Miss Sandra John- son, Mrs. Ruth Hirshberg, and Mrs. Patricia Bevington — bringing the total number of teachers in this department to thirteen. The de- partment, headed by Mr. James Grocott, is constantly undergoing change and this year was no excep- tion. A combined course in world history— world literature for sen- iors was initiated. Next year, how- ever, this course will be modified in the treatment of the ancient Greeks because of the Greeks’ emphasis on legend and mythology rather than upon actual history. A series of textbooks based on composition was introduced into classes. It was also decided that students would have an increased opportunity to use paperback books through the joining of book clubs. Through these methods, it is hoped that English will become a more meaningful and absorbing course. Opposite Page: Mr. James J. Dowd, Science Mr. Joseph B.

The introduction of an Advanced Placement U.S. History course and the experiment of combining European History with World Literature offer richer oppor- tunities to qualified and interested students. There has been wider use of paper-back, non-text, pam- phlet materials in most classes. With these new sources, the stu- dent may, through the inductive method, draw his own conclusions about a historical era or problem such as “Religious Freedom” and “The American Negro.” One source being utilized to study such topics is the Harvard Social Studies Project Pamphlets. Unique with these innovations, the E.L.H.S. Social Studies De- partment is employing methods and materials which soon will be nationally known. Mr. Harlow E.

The counselor sees himself working with students primarily as individuals in a warm accepting relationship helping the student develop his personality, such that he can meaningfully handle the demands of his school life, his social respon- sibilities, and live a life which con- tributes to society as a whole. Within this overall approach to stu- dents, counselors have many more specific tasks: Assisting students in meaningfully meeting the aca- demic challenges and problems; developing warm and sincere rela- tionships with adults and peers; and helping students devote their energies to meaningful, purposeful activities and relationships. Coun- selors spend great blocks of their time working with students as they plan individually meaningful and appropriate academic programs. We work with vocational and occu- pational interests through a four year period culminating in 12th grade, where actual educational and occupational placements are realized. .L. 23 A Library Resources and Space Greatly Expanded in 7 Years Business Department Boasts New Equipment as Aides New approaches and new equip- ment were keynotes in the BUSI- NESS DEPARTMENT this year. One of the new approaches was the direction of the Notehand course toward the college prep student so that he could learn how to take notes in class. New tape recorders and various pre- recorded tapes were used in steno and typing classes to enable the teacher to give more individual at- tention to the students. Records and a record player were used to develop more rhythm and speed in typing by having the student type to music. Other new equipment included an IBM dictating machine and an electric Gestetner stencil duplicator. These were used in office practice classes to better prepare the students for the actual office situation. The busi- ness department is to be com- mended for offering students an opportunity to work in this realistic atmosphere. i — The LIBRARY at E.L.H.S. has grown from 2,400 books on open- ing day in September 1960 to 10,334 books on opening day in 1967. The 51 seating capacity has increased to 75. Along with the in- creased student and faculty population, the library circula- tion has leapt from 11,246 books charged out in 1960-61 to 24,046 in 1967-68. The librarian is ably assisted by 25 student aides who help in the preparation, care and circulation of the books, maga- zines, records, filmstrips and other available materials. The li- brary serves as a center for stor- ing and circulating the Audio- Visual materials to the school. Through the various materials, the East Longmeadow High School attempts to provide the students and the faculty with source ma- terials, reference guides, book reports, and information to cover the courses included in our cur- riculum and to satisfy the needs of readers looking for personal guidance or pleasure.

Combining classes with clubs, and rehearsing during class and after school, the groups have been able to participate more fully in special community programs. All classes are represented in the four groups which meet four times a week. Crescendo Choir, a small ensemble of girls, has a varied repertoire of foreign, light, and serious music. The Troubadours is a lively boys’ group that sings sea chan- ties, folk songs, show music and novelty pieces. Another all girl chorus, the Harmon- aires , works to improve on all aspects of its music for appearances before the pub- lic. An entirely new course offered, this year, is Theory and Harmony. Students par- ticipating in this class strive for creativity and appreciation through reading, writing, listening, and discussing different elements of music for enjoyment or for a future voca- tion.

Mrs. Patricia Bevington and Mrs. Fredlee Shore joined the FOREIGN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT this year, a depart- ment which has undergone much change, especially in the methods of teaching. French I, not a new course, is now taught by the Audio- Lingual Method. This method has as its basis the view that language is communication, that language is spoken before ever being written and that written language is a rela- tively modern phenomenon. Keep- ing this in mind, the first part of the school year is spent conversing strictly in French, without the stu- dent ever seeing a textbook. Con- versational Spanish is taught in much the same way. Here the ob- jective is to have the student “feel” the language and so learn about and understand other peoples. Spain and the Spanish-speaking people are studied so the student can grasp the picture of the com- plete culture. 27 Home Economics Provides Realistic Domestic Training Math Department Completes Transition to Modern Math The HOME ECONOMICS DEPART- MENT had a broad and inclusive program this year for all four grades. The freshman classes study Clothing I and Food I. One class constructed stuffed animals which were given to orphanages at Christmas time. The sophomores continue with Clothing II and Foods II. In the former course, students are re- quired to match plaids or stripes and put in linings. Dinners are emphasized in Foods II with each course covered. At the conclusion, a complete dinner is created. The juniors continue on to study foreign foods and interior decorat- ing. The students do research on various foreign countries, food habits and customs and prepare a meal typical of a country. They also research periods of furniture, the basics of design, and design a room using floor plans and sam- ples. Seniors discuss Family Living dur- ing panel discussions. They take surveys on the problems of family livingand relationships today. Opposite Page: Mr. Richard H. Boiles, Jr., Phys- ical Education Mrs. Rachel C. Fleming, Foreign Languages Mr. S. Gordon Smith, Social Studies Mrs. Alma Richards, Foreign Languages Mr. Richard B. Grover, English Miss Joan Bereswill, English Mr. Richard McCormick, Jr., Mathematics Mrs. Carol L. Whalen, Business During the past several years the MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT at E.L.H.S. has undergone the transi- tion to “Modern Math, a concept that stresses a new approach to math and a vocabulary change. This concept is geared to help the student better comprehend the material. The accelerated and college prep programs now cover the four grades. The accelerated program has four courses while the college prep has five with an alternate course being offered in the senior year. The general course offers Math I, for ninth grade, Math II for grade ten. These courses cov- er the fundamentals of Math with an introduction to Algebra and Geometry. The department, headed by Mr. Francis Dutille, has eight full-time teachers, the newest being Mr. Paul Tarsa, who recently transferred from Birchland Park. 29 Mr. Gauthier, head of the INDUS- TRIAL ARTS DEPARTMENT, this year announced three major inno- vations in the presentation of courses in his department. The first change involved the use of the team-teaching technique in the senior electronics-electricity course. A lecture was combined with a gen- eral type of shop situation. The junior structure class was filmed during its construction of a model house. Mr. Gauthier plans to use this film for lecture periods and for the introductory session on the first day of school. It is felt that the film will be very instructive, as it will allow the student to see the progress made during the course of the project and it will give him a more meaningful understanding of the work to be done. Welcome additions to the depart- ment this year are Mr. William Reagan and Mr. Richard Freeburg. Mr. Alexander Kotrotsos, Mathematics Mr. Francis J.

Successful during its experimental period last year, the Pictorial Study in Biology was added as a perma- nent feature of the science and art departments. This is a voluntary course designed to develop a sci- entific awareness in students re- gardless of their future educational or occupational planning. Using such materials as baking beans, yarn, magic markers, and ink, each student is allowed to experiment and probe, similar to work done in a regular Biology laboratory. In addition to the General Art course, this year there is an active Advanced Art class com- posed of students selected for their ability and experience during the past two or three years. Be- sides working with the usual ma- terials, the art students also sculp- ture and paint with such materials as clay, copper, plastic paint, and ink. 31 A Mrs. Pamela Grazio Joins Physical Education Department as Swimming Instructor Miss Mary Kennedy, Foreign Languages De- partment Chairman Miss Jakie Upshaw, Physical Education Miss Shirley R.

Linda Bates, and Stephen St. Marie were members of the novice team. Mr. Irwin Kerson served as debate judge. League debates commenced on December 6 at Holyoke High School. Other league meets will be held at Chicopee Compre- hensive. Amherst. Hopkins Academy, Minnechaug. and South Hadley high schools. East Longmeadow will host the league debate on January 31. with competition ending on February 28 at Chicopee High School. The trend has been set: in three previous years of competi- tion the team has moved up through fourth, third, and second place. Advisor and team members say. This is THE year. Banquet festivities at season ' s end will test this assertion with awards going to the top four teams. MIRTH ENLIVENS flash-card practice session with Linda Bates. Dennis Plante.

Bob Holland, and Carol VanWagner weigh the benefits of such a motion. By giving students an opportunity to experience active par- ticipation in our national legislative process the MODEL CON- GRESS CLUB offers a valuable insight into the workings of our government. Mr. Daniel Kane, club advisor, and president Mark Lacedoma. vice-president Mark Safford. and secretary- treasurer Charles Valliere led the club in sponsoring several activities this year. These include the sponsorship of guest speakers, such as Congressman Edward P. Boland, and the sending of representatives to Model Congresses at West Springfield High School, New Rochelle High School, and American International College. The activities of student representatives at a Model Congress include the consideration of important and pertinent legis- lation. debating, voting, and lobbying. This participation in the Model Congress Club gives the students practice in the operations of our democratic form of government and pre- pares them for future political responsibility.

Weigand Under the guidance of Mr. John Roan the AS SCHOOLS MATCH WITS team experienced a very exciting and success- ful year In the fall, several qualifying tests were adminis- tered to interested students. After a week of elimination trials, four students were selected to serve on the panel. These included John Thurner. Captain. Karen Carlson, Gary Tarpinian and Charles Valliere. Chosen as alternates were James Weigand and Mark Safford. Following the format of the television show, practices were held every day after school for the entire month preceding the show. The actual shows, taped on Friday evenings, were presented on Sunday evenings. With a score of 235 to 85 E.L. easily defeated the Minnechaug team. The following week, however, the E.L. team was edged out by a close 125 to 115. A chance to excel academically is not the only benefit derived from serving on the As Schools Match Wits team. The team member is also given the opportunity to experience competition under pressure, not to mention the excitement of appearing on television. The team was also pleased that they were invited to participate in the spring round early in April. “Match Wits” Team Smothers Minnechaug, Loses to St. Mary’s, but Receives Invitation to Second Round on WWLP 35 CHESS CLUB: FRONT ROW: P Lamarche.

The mem- bers of THE CHESS CLUB, who number from ten to fifteen, gather to match wits against one another in this ancient game of strategy. The club was organized with three basic purposes in mind. The first purpose is to offer an opportunity for experienced players to enjoy the competition of playing against the other members of the club and also against the members of clubs from other schools. Letters to further this purpose were sent out in February in an attempt to arrange meets with eleven other schools. The second purpose is to provide novice players with the chance to perfect their game and to offer other interested people a chance to learn the game. The third purpose is to establish a central point in which information about other clubs in the area may be gathered. The officers of the club are: President Bernard Pozzi. vice- president Donald Hutchison, treasurer Mark Goddard, and secretary Deborah Sawyer. The WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS MATHEMATICS LEAGUE, under the direction of Mr. Francis Dutille. Mr. Walter Por- owski. and Mrs. Adeline Wilk. provides an opportunity for those students with exceptional mathematical acuity to exer- cise their talents. This organization enables the students to meet with students from eighteen other schools in the area and to compete with them in regularly scheduled mathe- matics contests. The league meets five times a year when members from every school gather at a designated school to exercise their mathematical resources. Each of the students is given five challenging problems to solve on an individual basis. After an allotted time, the problems are corrected and a point awarded for each correct solution, thus making a pos- sibility of twenty-five points per group represented. Point ac- cumulation determines position in the league. After three meets. E.L. was tied for fourth place with Chicopee Compre- hensive. 36 Chess Club Holds Frequent, Informal Brain Duels Select Group in Math League Keeps ELHS in Competition Interschool Meetings Highlight FTA Program (below) FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA: FRONT ROW: J.

For those students who are interested in a career in education, the FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA aids in familiarizing them with the teaching profession. Mr. Harlow Pendleton, faculty advisor, and president Robert Goodrich, vice presi- dent Lois Hutchinson, and secretary Joanne Vedovelli as- sisted in planning activities that would enable the members to become better acquainte d with modern methods of in- struction. Teachers were invited to speak before the club, teaching procedures were analyzed, joint meetings were held with other local FTA chapters, such as West Springfield in February, and elementary school instructors were observed in the town schools. The club concluded an active year by at- tendingthe FTA state conference.

Both of these goals were achieved this year due to the resourcefulness of the members at their weekly X-Block meetings. The officers of the organi- zation included Mike Harton, president; Noreen Dante, vice- president; Sally Benoit, secretary; David Griffin, treasurer; and Bob Willard, member-at-large. The activities sponsored by the Student Government this year included Parents ' Day, Parents ' Night, and the Spartanum Spectaculum which was arranged jointly with the Honor So- ciety. The Student Government was represented at Spartanum Spectaculum by Noreen Dante, who acted as co-director. The association organized the annual dance in February, with mu- sic by the Soul Searchers, and the Winter Carnival. The Stu- dent Government planned the Winter Carnival so that its ac- tivities would include both indoor contests on Friday after- noon, and outdoor contests on Saturday. The outdoor activi- ties. however, were cancelled due to the lack of snow. Another project for which the Student Government was partially re- sponsible was the addition of the school letters and lighting. WILL POPULAR MUSIC BE PIPED INTO THE LARGE CAFE- TERIA?” This issue is discussed and approved by Student Gov- ernment members. NO CHIVALRY HERE as Georgia Emerson tries for two during the Winter Carnival junior- sophomore basketball competition. 38 Dedicated to the continuance of scholastic excellence in our school, the NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY sponsored many ac- tivities and services this year. Faculty advisor. John R. Roan, president John Thurner, vice-president Cynthia Maybury, sec- retary Claudia Taylor, and treasurer Douglas Best headed the Society in sponsoring the “As Schools Match Wits TV team, a Christmas reception for Alumni members, a tutoring ser- vice. and the co-sponsorship of “Spartanum Spectaculum ' 68” with the Student Government. Members of the National Honor Society are chosen on the ba- sis of scholastic achievement, and receive unrestricted passes and an extra set of textbooks for use at home The Society has also attained such goals as exemption from final exams for students with high averages and the holding of an annual in- traschool dance.

Aegis ' 68 Achieves New Heights for Cost, Sales . . . and Beauty This volume is no mere record of a school year; AEGIS ' 68 is a creation that reflects the devotion and talents of a hun- dred persons. It was born in the minds of a score of students in December of 1966, and the ensuing months have been wit- ness to the nurturing of this dream through the tears and time of a thousand meetings. Undoubtedly, each of you will reflect upon the images and copy in your own way, yet certain new features should be more intensively viewed. The four full color divider page paintings represent the considerable talents of three senior artists; Carolyn Ouellette, Claudia Gareeb, and Dennis Arbour. Sen- iors may take particular pleasure in the new senior section format which depicts the formal and informal facets of their activities. Quantitatively, sports enthusiasts and club mem- bers should find these greatly expanded sections more satis- fying. The staff of AEGIS ' 68 wishes to extend its sincere appreci- ation to the hundreds of students, staff members, towns- people, and advertisers who so faithfully support the book. We are especially pleased that this book has been selected by the American Yearbook Company to be displayed on a nation-wide basis as a model for high school yearbooks.

Variety was the key word in the SPARTAN SPIRIT, as a team of experienced juniors and seniors led the way to shaping the paper into a truly professional one. Readers were delighted with everything from Tina Rosie Kosmas ' s satire to John Thurner ' s probing editorials. Striving to avoid the mediocre, co-editors Claudia Taylor and James Douglas produced arti- cles which commented not only on school affairs, but encom- passed subjects such as drugs, the hippie movement and musical trends. The work on the paper is done in the newspaper homeroom after school throughout the year. Published seven times yearly, the Spartan Spirit covers all major activities in school life Raymond DeAngelo headed the features department this year, while Don Thompson and Barbara Williams reported sports and news, respectively. Editorials were written by John Thurner. To advisor Mrs. Anita Themistos goes praise for excellent faculty leadership. SPARTAN SPIRIT: FRONT ROW: M. Orlando, J. Thurner, D. Thompson, J. Douglas, C.

In its second year of existence, the LITERARY CLUB has proved to be a valuable asset to the school In that it seeks to gain rec- ognition for promising writers and poets through publication of their works. One of the prime objectives of the club is to promote creativity, individuality of thought, and fine writing. The staff, numbering approximately sixteen with no officers by title, is under the supervision of Miss Judith Sessler. It meets once a week to discuss or edit works submitted by fellow stu- dents or to make preparations for the publication of PEGASUS, the literary magazine. All work on the magazine, from typing and printing to assembling and selling, is done entirely by members of the club.

Attendance in Language Clubs at an All-Time High LE CERCLE FRANCAIS endeavors, through monthly meetings, to learn more about the culture and customs of the French people and to encourage the speaking of French through pen- pals. games, films, and plays This very large club is under the direction of Mrs. Alma Richards. James Douglas leads the club as president. Other officers include Christine Boucher, vice-president; Christine Kosmas, secretary; and Cynthia Burr, treasurer. The club sponsored many events during this past year including slides of Expo ' 67 and Canada, movies of France, a play. “Le Petit Chaperon Rouge, and other drama- tic skits by club members. A native teacher-aide from the Cultural Language Activity Summer School was presented as a guest speaker. The year ' s big project was a delightful Inter- national Night Banquet, held February 15, in which other language groups also participated. The French Club will certainly remember this year as a most rewarding and satis- fying one. Continuing with the ambitious tradition of past years, the SPANISH CLUB again provided a full program of activities for its members. As an introduction to the new school year, re- cently-released movies such as An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge” and Medieval Crusades” were sponsored for the entertainment of the student body It was the goal of the club to sponsor a special event once a month and to work to- ward the event each week. Though International Night con- sumed a great deal of time and effort, the talents of Jim Wil- kins and the Parisian dancers were reward enough. A trip to New York climaxed a very successful and exciting year under the leadership of advisors Miss Shirley Pottern and Mrs. Fredlee Shore, and club officers, Pat Hendrick, president; Andrea Hastings, secretary-treasurer; and Elaine Reall, member-at-large. More Romanorum Maiorem, always in the manner of our Roman ancestors, the motto of the GENS TOGATA is incorpo- rated in every function of this active club. Through regularly scheduled meetings, this group, under the supervision of Mrs. Patricia Bevington, has undertaken many interesting projects. Early in the year, members of the “Togad Race attended a “church crawl” in Hartford where various types of church architecture were discussed. Other events sponsored were a toboggan party during the winter months and the annual spring picnic. The highlight of the year was the club ' s partic- ipation in the International Language Night Banquet held in February. Also a trip to Boston in the spring was in the pro- gram for the year. To increase our cultural background and to recreate Roman customs and traditions is the purpose of the Latin Club pro- moted by officers Raymond DeAngelo, consul; Ann Dominic, tribuna: Marcia Lynch, aedile; and Tim Lynch, quaestor. , CAPTURING THE HEARTS of an appreciative audience, the daughters of Jaime Ulloa of Ecuador perform a native dance.

The East Longmeadow High School SPOTLIGHTERS — a re- markable aggregation of illustrative actors” under the di- rection of Mr. Richard Grover, have experienced a very reward- ing year. They began the year with a melodrama in December entitled The Curse of an Aching Heart or, Trapped in the Spider’s Web with leading roles by James Wilkins and Sally Benoit. The music, which added much to the dramatic effect, was provided by Stephen Viger. The club meets regularly to discuss upcoming plays and ac- tivities. On the agenda for the year was a visit to Stage West and an assembly of one act plays during the spring. One very interesting project sponsored by the group was an experimen- tal theater. Any interested students participated in acting out original skits or monologues or parts from plays studied in classes. The purpose of this was to improve one’s ability and to minimize self-consciousness by acting out parts conflicting with each student ' s character. This proved to be very success- ful and the Spotlighters look forward to many more profit- able and rewarding endeavors.

These groups are incorporated into class time with the exception of the Charmers, which functions separately. Besides the CHARMERS, which consists of six girls who sing for school functions as well as hospitals and television, is the CRESCENDO CHOIR, assisted by Eunice Langevin as li- brarian. This group is unique in that it applies various lan- guages, such as French. Italian, and German, to their music. A third all-girl chorus is the HARMONAIRES.

OUR MUSIC MAN Paul Krasnovsky, commands this uniformed aggregation of musicians on any foot- ball Saturday. The musically talented students are able to display their various abilities by participating in the many activities of the EAST LONGMEADOW HIGH SCHOOL BAND. In addition to traditional half-time performances at foot ball games, the Band included in its fall undertakings a Beef Barbecue and Band Concert. The purpose of this function was to raise money for new uniforms. Although the Band is not large, under the expert direction of Mr Joseph Charron, it has bee n able to excel musically Evidence of this fact is East Longmeadow ' s ample delegation in the District Band. Representing our school in the band were Andy Malloy on trombone, Nola Olmstead on flute, Valerie Jamison on clarinet, Bob Ireland on French horn, and Paul Krasnovsky on trumpet. Also, selected for the District Orchestra were Jarl Weyant playing the string bass and Laura Powers playing the oboe Laura was also chosen to participate in the All-State Orchestra, and Paul Kras- novsky gained a position in the All-State Band. The professional performance of the Dance Band in Spartanum Spectacu- lum is another indication that a small group of talented, well-trained young musicians can produce beautiful music.

Fifteen girls were actively engaged as aides, each giv- ing up one or more of their study periods each week. These girls were chosen because of their desire to work as recep- tionists to fellow students and their ability to maintain a col- lege catalogue library of ten thousand volumes. These files consist of catalogues and supplements from schools in New England to as far away as Hawaii, Florida and Alaska. The aides also maintain a career file which explains in-depth ca- reers available upon completion of high school or college. A guidance counselor may also request a girl to deliver passes, sort papers, prepare lists, count out test materials or to do various other jobs.

Library Aides Serve 1000 Students and Service 10,000 Volume Treasury The East Longmeadow High School library provides many services for the teachers and students. These could not be offered without the help of the LIBRARY AIDES, who give hours of willing service. Each aide works one to three hours a week as a library assistant. Their jobs include: helping to prepare new books and materials, running the charging desk, shelving books, caring for magazines and mail and offering reference assistance to students. The twenty-seven library aides had a Christmas party in December and a June gathering of Senior Library Aides. Although they do not elect officers, the library assistants meet several times a year to discuss changes in the system. Mrs. Lopes, library aide advisor, hopes to select a library aide from ELHS, who may attend the Student Library Assis- tance Summer Workshop at the University of New Hamp- shire in August of 1968.

The RED CROSS CLUB this year was highly active in its role as a service organization. Under the supervision of Miss Barbara Condron. the club made and distributed Christmas favors to the elderly in nursing homes in the area. Decorations, enter- tainment and refreshments were discussed as parties were planned for Veterans ' Administration hospitals and Westover Air Force Base. President Priscilla Perusse, vice-president Dennis Ostrander, secretary Nancy Jeanne, and treas urer Jean White provided the student leadership this year. They made certain that the underprivileged of the world were not overlooked. The club worked on friendship chests and kits for children overseas, especially those in Viet Nam. Locally, parties were planned for children at the South End Community Center and Dunbar Community Center in Springfield. All members of the Red Cross Club are to commended for their humanitarian efforts.

Advised by Mr. Lloyd Dale, the members of the club enhanced their own knowledge of audio-visual equipment while providing aid for teachers supplementing their classes with the most mod- ern methods of communication. Students at ELHS are all fa- miliar with these methods as they add perspective to every course. With the co-operation of Mrs. Lois Lopes, the High School maintains an up-to-date and ever-growing library of films, filmstrips, and records available for use by all the town schools. The ski enthusiasts of ELHS were offered several opportu- nities this year to swoop down the white slopes of Mt. Tom. These opportunities were provided by the SKI CLUB, directed by Mr. Gary Bunce. Early in the school year the club had its first meeting at which time officers were elected. Chosen were Gary Newton, president; Carol Gurney, secretary; and Mark Goddard, treasurer. Together with these officers, Mr. Bunce arranged the club ' s first Friday afternoon excursion to Mr. Tom. Although the plans for this first trip had to be can- celled, another trip was scheduled for February and was well attended by these avid snow bunnies. Because this trip was so successful, another was planned for March 1. CHECKING A MAZE OF EQUIPMENT, Ski Club members Nancy Wrinkle. Dennis Plante, and Ken Andwood prepare for an afternoon of skiing.

Despite the inconvenience of early-morning practices, the members of the team drilled every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at 7:00 a.m. Under the direction of Mrs. Pamela Grazio. the group of twenty-seven girls provided precisioned entertainment during halftime at football and basketball games. Drill Team performances, which alternated with those of the Maiorettes, were enhanced by neat, uniform appearances. The team presented routines at two football games and three bas- ketball games and hopes to be even more active in future years. Although this group is only two years old. the exact- ness of their routine reflects hard practice and good organiza- tion.

LEADING THE SPARTANS IN A ROUSING CRY during a time-out are the J.V. Cheerleaders. Talented at creating enthusiasm and boosting morale were the JUNIOR VARSITY CHEERLEADERS. Miss Doris Knechtel. who served as this year ' s advisor, decided to expand the squad from six to eight members before tryouts. Late in November the tryouts were held and Paula Finn, Julie Kosmas, Pat Te- den. Debbie Angers. Grace Garcia, Debbie David. Jean Bonin, and Mary Ann Viveiros were chosen as regular members of the squad. Selected to act as substitutes were Beverly Stockwell and Donna Fiorentino. Despite the fact that this year ' s J.V. Cheerleaders were inexperienced, they were prepared to cheer at every game, and added several new and different cheers to the traditional cheers. Increased appearances necessitated many hours of practice for Miss Barbara Condron and the MAJORETTES. Halftime at football games Spartanum Spectaculum, and the Memorial Day town parade were only a few of the traditional perfor- mances made by the girls. Basketball fans at halftime and fairgoers to St. Marks Country Fair were given displays of twirling talent; but audiences were not limited to the young. Nursing homes and the Golden Age Club were also on the list of appearances. Competition, a major part of the Spar- tanettes ' activities, included the Northeast Open Champion- ship at Mountain Park and the New England Twirl-off at Birch- land Park School.

Vivacious Cheerleaders Brighten Spartan Athletic Events The Varsity Cheerleaders continued to promote good sports- manship and school spirit as they encouraged East Long- meadow High School teams in victory and in defeat. Tang- ible evidence of this encouragement transcended sports activities. These active girls aided in the arrangements for and directed the bonfire activities as the football season opened. A thousand voices followed their enthusiastic lead at pre-season basketball and football sports rallies in the gym. As the polls opened in the school on election days, voters were treated to baked goodies, for a price, by the cheerleaders and majorettes. The grace and agility displayed by the girls each week comes only after tiring practice sessions twice a week, once their routines have been perfected. Under the guidance of Miss Doris Knechtel, the girls sold Spartan Spirit and Spear Lancer pins to avid Spartan fans. They also aided in the arrangements for spectator buses in order that more East Longmeadow students could cheer their teams at away games. Junior Sally Benoit and senior Kathy Bourque served as co-captains, while senior Kathy Siano was secretary, and junior Cynthia Burr handled the treasurer ' s duties. Topping the pyramid of officers was Susan Mondoux as football cheerleader captain.

L. gridmen see-sawed to a 2 — 6 record this year as surprising strength and disheartening injuries tipped the scales from week to week. Hopes soared after the Spartans stunned Minne- chaug 28 — 0, giving E. L. its first football victory over the Falcons. Senior Bob Fois romped to tally fourteen points with classmates Don Thompson and Kim Hagopian toting the pigskin for the remaining points. The next week the tables turned, however, as South Hadley, Subur- ban League champs, slid past the home team 19 — 6 with every point hard-earned. The gridmen also proved ineffective against a mediocre Ludlow squad as a last period touchdown gave the Lions a 6 — 0 victory. Defeat again was seen by E. L. as powerhouse Enfield took advantage of Spartan mistakes and claimed a 30 — 14 decision. Persistence finally paid off as Commerce bowed to an amazingly strong offensive drive giving the Spartans a 26 — 12 victory, the second of the season. The next week, however, the Spartans were back in the loss column where they stayed for the remainder of the season.- Palmer blanked E. L. 29 — 0 as E. L. was forced to limp along with- out the services of Fois and Willard. Classical handed the red and grey a 28 — 12 defeat in an afternoon contest. In this game E. L. displayed a sensational come-back and scored all their points in the last quarter. That come-back was missing the following week as the rival Long- meadow team dumped the gridmen 26 — 0, a disap- pointing ending to a varied season. Outstanding gridmen were seniors Kim Hagopian, Bob Fois, Mike Harton and Don Thompson, juniors Bob Willard, Chris Colman, Erwin Belo- rusky, Tim Thompson, and Howard Belliveau and sophomores Bill Creighton, Jim Manferdini, and Jeff Crary. With so many underclassmen returning next year, Coach Vespaziani can look forward to a better season with a seasoned squad. Varsity Scores J.V. E.L.

V. gridmen ended a dismal season with 0—3 — 2 record after coping with problems of size and injury. Ties were with Minnechaug, 12 — 12, and Ludlow 8 — 8. Bill Anderson ' s spectacular thirty yard run accounted for one touchdown in the Minnechaug game. The Crary-Manferdini combo clicked against the Ludlow gridmen and gained much yardage. Unfortunately, Crary was injured later in the season. Spartans lost to South Hadley 30 — 0, Enfield 28 — 6, and Longmeadow 14 — 0. In the South Hadley contest a new defense was tried. It was ineffective in the first half and allowed twenty-four points. E. L. tightened up and allowed only one touch- down in the second half. Bill Zuccalo did a fine job calling plays in the Enfield game after re- placing Q. B. Jeff Crary, who was injured in varsity play. Bill Anderson again romped for yardage, this time thirty-five yards before being brought down. Enfield, however, surged on to victory. The Longmeadow Lancers plowed by E. L. ' s gridmen in the last game of the season despite E. L. ' s fine efforts. Again injuries plagued the Spartans as Wayne Scully was forced to leave the game with a broken ankle. Coaches Rinaldi and Kane will send most of their gridmen on to win varsity honors next year and will again begin the hard task of training un- seasoned gridmen, an admittedly difficult job which they have done extremely well in the past. maino, C.

Longmeadow, in an early season match, went down to defeat as junior Barry Rufenacht booted a last quarter goal, following the tying point by Jack Blaisdell. Novice goalie Dave Weferling offered a fine performance with ten saves and allowed only two goals. West Springfield con- tributed to the exciting season as E.L. came from behind with goals by Dan Thomas and Jack Blaisdell, the latter scoring during the final seconds of overtime to clinch the game for the home team. A penalty kick by goalie Dan Thomas in the second overtime period garnered still another victory for the Spartans, defeating the hard fighting Minnechaug Falcons 1 — 0. Just as exciting, though not as successful, was the con- test against Chicopee. Defense reigned until a last minute break for Chicopee allowed the single point of the game, the decisive score against the scarlet-and-gray. Though finishing with a 4 — 7 — 3 record, a lack of veteran varsity players was the team’s greatest liability, with the burden falling on experienced seniors Mike Allen, Jack Blaisdell, and Bob Goodrich, and junior Danny Thomas. However, novice varsity players Gary Moore, John Corliss, Dave Weferling, and Barry Rufenacht deserve high praise for their hard work and drive, which were key factors in many games. With five returning varsity members, Coach Cooley is looking for- ward to a more experienced and improved team next year.

Ken Kurowski, and David Carpenter move into po- sition to steal a Chicopee ball. 74 Offering no excuses for their season record, the members of this junior varsity soccer team played tenaciously in every game. Team spirit alone proved inadequate against the often larger, more experienced teams. Meager fan attendance at games made some difference, but who can for- get Rich Malmstrom in the goal yelling en- couragement to his hard-playing comrades? — a one man ch eering section. This lanky and color- ful goal-keeper was supported by the capable efforts of fullback Al Hubbard and star goal scorer Andy Farquharson, Andy’s specialty was extraordinary accurate corner kicks. Noteworthy contests included two ties with the Minnechaug team, both stingy scoring 1 — 1 frustrators. Another knotted-score game came on the last day of the season in an encounter with Chicopee Comprehensive. The weather was a har- binger of winter sports season with just above freezing temperatures accompanied by a misty drizzle, but the boys hardly noticed the weather in the heat of battle. The crowning glory for this team was attained in a double overtime battle with Chicopee with the Spartans coming out on top with a heart-thump- ing 2 — 1 victory.

The BASKETBALL TEAM highlighted its dreary season with two convincing victories. The first of these victories came in the clash with Stafford. Outstanding performances were the rule, with seven players hitting for double figures; leading these scorers was Jim Latourelle with 22 points. The final 98—63 tally shattered the school record. The Spartans finished their season masterfully as they broke their 12 game losing streak, defeating the Minnechaug Falcons 71 — 53. Leading by a margin of six points at the half, the Reaganmen were then galvanized into action by the hot-handed Jim Latourelle, who hooped 38 points. Playmaker John Corliss netted 12 markers that night. The cagers from ELHS also specialized in pro- viding thrilling moments for their fans. Down by several points at half-time in the first Long- meadow game, the Spartans rallied to within three points, before succumbing to the Lancer power 49 — 43. Another crowd-pleaser was the second Easthampton encounter. At one point, the fans cheered hoarsely as the Spartans closed the gap to three points. But the late rally fizzled, and the team was handed a 55 — 47 defeat. The point grabbing trio of Latourelle, Corliss, and Tim Thompson once again displayed their virtuosity on the court. Snatching most of the season ' s rebounds was junior Bernie Sweeney, while Don Thompson proved to be the sparkplug on defense. Able substitutes included senior Jack Blaisdell, jun- iors Scott Seymour and Bob Lundgren, and Soph- omores Greg Naylor and Carl Larson.

BASKET- BALL TEAM began a new season. Their first success, the Staf- ford Springs game, was a dramatic contest ending with a score of 54 — 51. Leading scorers were Paul Lieberwirth and Jeff Crary with 16 and 13 points, respectively. The team captured its second victory when it overpowered Trade in a 53 — 48 conflict. Behind in the third quarter, a sur- prising spurt in the fourth quarter made their triumph pos- sible. Colorful performers were Paul Lieberwirth with 20 points and Steve Newell with 13 points. One of the season’s highlights was the Easthampton game. Though the scoreboard showed a 58 — 51 win for Easthampton, it failed to show the enthusiasm of the crowd and the spirit of the players. In the fourth quarter, an inspired EL team fought from behind to tie the score, causing the game to go into over- time. Thrilling moments, like those in the Easthampton game, brightened a losing season. The FRESHMAN BASKETBALL TEAM ended its season with a fair 3 — 9 record. However, they showed good potential ability by winning three of their last six games, while their first half record was 0 — 6. The majority of the boys had never played organized ball previous to this year. Therefore Coach Daniel Kane devoted a great many practice hours to working on fundamental skills. In addition to their three victories, the team played three close games. An exciting battle was the second game with Enfield in which the Spartans were over- taken by only 2 points. In the first game with Enfield, however, the Frosh were tremendously overpowered by 44 points; the second performance displayed the team’s ability to improve. They met defeat in the last seven seconds of their first en- counter with Longmeadow, losing by only 2 points. Again the squad’s improvement was obvious in their second clash with Longmeadow, which they won easily be a 17-point margin, in the 57 — 50 victory over West Springfield, and in the 68 — 57 drubbing of Ludlow.

Although the record in itself is not satisfying, some consolation may be found in the team’s improvement during the last half of the season. After a slow start, in which the Spartans were handed eight consecu- tive defeats, they came on strong by winning 50% of their last eight games. Among the suc- cessful encounters were two victories over arch- rival, Longmeadow by scores of 6 — 3 and 4 — 0. Also, they defeated the Trade sextet twice, first in a close 3 — 2 win, and then in a crushing 6 — 1 victory. There were also those contests which were hard-fought battles down to the last sec- ond: especially spirit-stirring were the first Longmeadow and Trade games when the Spar- tans were shaded in the final seconds after both times holding comfortable leads of 4 — 2 and 4 — 1 respectively. Doing most of the scoring was the team’s “power line” consisting of Rich Mon- doux, Danny Thomas and Russ Morton. All of the members of this trio consistently placed among the league ' s top ten scorers. Morton and Mondoux were second year veterans, but Thomas donned skates for the first time, and he proved to be suprisingly valuable. The team ' s most improved line” was that of Todd Cormier, Dave MacDonald and Dave Griffin. Although they did not contribute greatly to the scoring, they showed signs of great improvement, and will be expe- rienced assets to next year’s squad. On defense, Coach Tarsa alternated Bob Barney, Barry Rufe- nacht, Robert Bradley, and Don Bonner. Doing a truly magnificent job in the goal for E. L. was Matty D’Amato. He was a major contributing factor to the team’s comeback in the latter part of the season. Also, since Matty was only a freshman, we can expect to see more action from him in the next three years. Very important to a growing team are its backup men. These players included Bill Zuccalo, Bruce Duncan, John Birtwell, Steve McHugh and Rick Willard. Mr. Tarsa and Mr. Whiles are very proud of their team which has come a long way from last year’s squad of inexperienced sophomores, and their hopes for a strong team next year seem more than justified when it is considered that the en- tire team will be returning.

Record Book Is Re-Written by ELHS Mermen Honors for this most remarkable team must go this year to the Spartan merman who, in their second year of league competition, placed third in the league, third in the Western Mass Inter- scholastic Swimming meet and second in the state behind swimming power Holyoke High. The medley relay composed of butterflyer Bob Willard, backstroker Brad Smith, breaststroker Erwin Belorusky, and freestyler Peter Ouellette repeatedly smashed the state record, setting low times of 1:49.0 at the Western Mass meet and 1:49.2 at the state meet. Brad Smith clipped seconds off his own Western Mass record to bring the mark to 1:00.7. New pool records were established as each boy on the team lowered his own times. The Spartans were beaten only three times in dual meet league competition; by Holyoke, by Pittsfield, and by South Hadley. The last was an upset. Even when beaten, however, the mermen made a good showing. Pitted against Holyoke in early season competition, Erwin Belorusky, Bob Willard, and Keith Lindner set school records in the 100 yard breaststroke, the 100 yard butterfly, and the 400 yard freestyle, respectively. Brad Smith chalked up a new WM backstroke record which he bettered later in the season. Although some meets, such as those with Chicopee Comp and West Springfield, were de- cided by an arm ' s length in the last event, some only served as practice meets. No spirit of keen competition was inspired when E.L. swam against Trade as the Spartans used less experienced boys and were dunked only in one event. The final score was a lopsided 76 — 18. In past-season competition, the medley relay team, Brad Smith and Erwin Belorusky brought home first place medals from the Western Mass meet. Placing in other events were Stanley Sroka, sixth in the 200 freestyle, Keith Lindner, fifth in the 400 yard freestyle, Mike Harton, tied for sixth in diving, and Bob Willard, fourth in the 100 yard butterfly. The surprise of the season came, however at the state meet as E.L.H.S. placed an amazing second. Brad Smith and the medley relay team cornered firsts while Erwin Belorusky was touched out in his specialty. Bob Willard brought home a fifth place ribbon in his event. A good deal of the credit for this excellent sea- son must go to Coaches Mr. Richard Bolles and Mr. Ronald Sarazin. They have done a fine job in shaping a young team. Although the team will feel the loss of Brad Smith and Mike Harton, the E.L. mermen are sure to achieve much next year. ■ FLYING HIGH AND STRAIGHT in the take-off for the 200 yard individual medley relay are Stan Sroka and Bob Dunn.

Two of the four games that they lost were very close contests; the two losses to Westfield, however, were crushing defeats for East Long- meadow with the scores 31 to 10 and 32 to 11. The outstanding victories were the swamping of Somers 31 to 10, and Westside 32 to 11. The most prolific scorers of the ' 68 sea- son were Margaret Cauley, Nancy Steitz, and Sue Seppanen, with Margaret Cauley nearly setting a new school record for high scoring in a single game by hoop- ing 21 points in the first Longmeadow game. Supporting the high scorers were the other members of the team, notably Mary Ellen Boyd, with excellent defen- sive and offensive plays. The best ex- ample of good supporting play was the February 2nd game against Somers where Nancy Steitz hit for 14 points due to the excellent support of her team- mates. The capability of veterans Nancy Steitz and Sue Seppanen was demonstrated at the Longmeadow game where Nancy poured in 19 and Sue scored 12 of the total 41 points. Good team work on the part of the other players was again shown. AN AFTERNOON ' S PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS— Nancy Steitz. Diane LaFave (12), and Nora Brayley (9) ballet against Westfield.

Pitted against such teams as West Springfield, Minne- chaug, Southwick, Longmeadow, and Westfield, the girls compiled a 3 — 2 — 1 record, losing only to Minnechaug in one-sided efforts of 6 — 0 and 7—0. The tie came in the game against West Springfield, with a final score of 3 — 3. Foes West- field and Longmeadow went down in defeat in the home team’s finest efforts of the season. West- field and Longmeadow were both on the short end of 4 — 1 and 5 — 1 scores respectively. However, all games were hard-fought by a team which was composed of girls from all four classes.

Frosh elections in the early fall chose Tom Thompson as president to lead the class with the aid of Deborah Angers as vice-president. The freshmen were an important part of the unique book fair and art exhibit held for all interested students and parents. They also involved themselves further in school activities by selling refreshments at basketball games. In sports, Alan Hubbard and Andrew Byrne per- formed commendably for the junior varsity soc- cer team, while Mark Dunn. Scott Grabowski, Rich- ard Dion, and Tom Thompson fared well in fresh- men football clashes. Other aspects of the freshman class that made it outstanding were high attendance at athletic events and school activities. Although new to the school, the frosh have shown a great deal of enthusiasm which is sure to benefit E.L.H.S. SHADOWED BY AN AMERICAN LITERARY GIANT, freshmen Mary Ann Vivelros, Karen Moodie and Bernadette Dowme co-operate on a research project.

This is due, in part, to the capable guidance of class advisors, Mrs. Rachel Fleming and Mr. Raymond Simonds. For the first time in school history, the sophomores were granted the privilege of acquiring class rings. These enter- prising and imaginative youngsters are consider- ing plans to wash airplanes at Bradley Interna- tional Airport as a fund-raising activity. A more conventional car wash was included in their spring plans. This class, second largest in the school, has con- tributed to all facets of school life. Five sopho- mores are in St udent Government and the class is well represented in various activities. In the sports world, the football team valued the efforts of lettermen, Jim Manferdini, Bill Creighton and Peter Ouellette, while Bob Bradley and Paul Lieberwirth displayed their considerable talents on the soccer field. Academically, some sophomores partook of a new course, Conversational Spanish, under the direction of Miss Shirley Pottern. It is evident that this class refuses to allow this year to pass as an uneventful one as they look forward to their remaining years at E.L.H.S. , 11 IIUL 1 •Mg B ADDING THE FRENCH TOUCH to Little Red Riding Hood, Dennis Plante, Susan Abel, and Mary Holokta display their talents in Le Petit Chaperon Rouge.

It then was proposed that the class sponsor a dance in December and the faculty- varsity basketball game. The Junior Prom was discussed as were class dues and homeroom rep- resentatives. Tim was assisted in class govern- ment by Vice-President Peter Benton. Secretary Ann Dominic. Treasurer Loretta Gosselin and Member-at-Large Jon Birtwell. The junior class was well represented in Student Government and in activities. The offices of secre- tary, treasurer and member-at-large in Student Government were filled respectively by Sally Benoit, Dave Griffin, and Bob Willard with Tim Thompson, Chris Boucher and Cynthia Burr comprising the rest of the class’s delegation. In activities the class was outstandingly represented and all of the varsity teams contained a large number of juniors.
