HMsfoo ms io ti PUBETC UBRApy s Ct-fen-¥u i. HijVi SoVool f t . 1 The class of 1961 dedicates its yearbook to Mr. John Thompson. Mr. Thompson came to Greenfield High School in 1958 from Arms Academy in Shelburne Falls. He teaches Problems of Democracy and U. S. History and serves as Co-ordinator of the Social Studies Department. For the past two years he has served as advisor of the Student Council. Under his supervision the council has become a more active and powerful body. He en¬ couraged and helped put into effect the new method of student council election and attended a council conference with two of the members at Tufts University in August of 1960. Mr. Thompson has the type of leadership which insures the motto of Greenfield High School—Truth, Honor, and Loyalty. MR. FREDRICK W. PORTER The class of 1961 dedicates this page as a tribute to our Superintendent of Schools, Fredrick W. Porter, who retires with our graduation. Mr. Porter was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, and graduated from Springfield Classical High School. After receiving a B.S. degree at Tufts and a Masters degree in Education at Harvard, he served in the American Expeditionary Force in France. At the end of the war he became Superintendent of Schools in Stoneham, thence a supervisor for the state department of education in Connecticut. Since 1929 he has been Superintendent of the Greenfield School System. Under his direction the Greenfield Vocational School was established. Four Corners, Green River, and the High School were built during his administration. Mr. Porter’s philosophy of education stressed the importance of the full develop¬ ment of the individual so that he might serve society most beneficially. We bid Mr. Porter farewell and wish him to know that he has our gratitude for his outstanding service to us who have been entirely schooled under his tenure. CORRIDON F. TRASK, JR.

The solution to the Hamlet problem.” “What form, Mr. Baird!” “Who said Mr. Jonelunas wasn’t an angel?” 15 CctJ ukds “You say my horse came in on the daily double!” “As a matter of fact, I don’t know the atomic weight of Sulfur” “Oh, certainly. Miss Mansfield, you may enter Green field High School!” 17 Traveling incognito, friends? “I’ll put them.right back, Mr. Casey” 10 As the leaders of the first class to complete their three years high school training in the new G.H.S., these officers have done a terrific job in making our senior year a success. Gordie Umburger, class president for two years, has certainly shown his ability in the leadership of our class. He has been active in basketball for three years and is cap¬ tain of the team this year. Don Wilkinson has emerged as one of the most school-spirited students in G.H.S. He participated with the boy cheerleaders in our pep rallies and at the Thanksgiving Day Game. He has also played an important role in basketball this year with his fine defensive work. Pam Severence, with her ability for organization, has also been a great help in the success of our class. She served as Secretary of the Student Council for two years. She also helped a great deal with the senior pictures in the yearbook. JoAnne Condraski has been our treasurer for three years. She has done a good job in securing the class dues from everyone. JoAnne has also been active in Tri-Hi-Y for four years. The officers, as well as all the members of the class of 1961, wish to express their thanks to Mr. Cox who has put all his effort forth to make this year and our future a success. 0 1961 WILLIAM JOSEPH AIREY “LUMPY” Track 1; Tennis 1, 2. 3, 4; Gymnastics Team 2; Rifle Club 3, 4; Band 4.

Dick has been a loyal participant in many activities around the school. He has been on dance committees in his sophomore and junior years and helped to make the Junior Prom a big success. He served as a member of the Student Council in his sophomore year and this year is our vice-president. Dick has played football for two years and will be a co-captain next year. This is Dick’s second year as President of the Class of 1962. Tom, too, has been active in school activities. He has been a member of our basketball team for two years, was his homeroom vice-chairman, and chairman of the ticket committee for the Football Victory Dance. He is also a member of our “terrific” boy cheerleaders. Margie has been involved in many functions around school, also. She has been a member of the Latin Club, is president of her Tri-Hi-Y, and a member of the Student Counc il for two years. She has been on several dance committees and is now serving as Secretary of the “Exponent.” Jeannie has contributed to her class in many ways. She has been a member of the Latin Club, has taken part in several dance committees, is a member of Tri-Hi-Y, and is a member of the Student Council. Jeannie is serving her second year as our class treasurer. 79 80 212 — Miss Wovnar Room 211 — Mr. Baird 81 82 Room 216 83 m Phil Mowry, the President of the Sophomore Class, has been very active in school activities. In junior high he was homeroom officer each year, played on the football team, and was a winner in the science fairs. In eighth grade he won second place in physics and in his freshman year won first place in general science. Outside of school Phil is a member of the Moose baseball team and Hi-Y. He distinguished himself in skiing by winning second place at the Winter Carnival last year. Sandy Singiser is the Vice-President of the Class of ’63. She has served on the student council and also as a homeroom officer. She is a great asset to the Girls’ Club of Greenfield and is an instructor there. Susie Cohn is the Secretary of our class. Throughout her junior high school career she was an active member of the student council and homeroom officer. This year, besides being secretary, Susie is on the cheering team and the honor roll. Joann Rogers, who just moved to Greenfield from St. Louis, has already made a place for herself in school life. She was recently elected treasurer of the sophomore class. Back in Missouri Joann must have been very busy. She was President of the Freshman Class, Secretary of the Girls’ Athletic Association, captain of the swim team, and President of the Junior Red Cross. The major project of the sophomore class this year was the Thanksgiving Day Dance. There was a great deal of class participation on the various committees and everyone was kept busy with the preparations. Held in the beautifully decorated gym, the dance was a big success, both socially and financially. It certainly was an enjoyable ending to a perfect day. 1 85 Room 202 — Miss Lawler Room 203 — Mrs. Studer 86 Kooin 205 — Mi - Da. .

This organization is managed by the students themselves, under the leadership of its officers and its advisor Mr. Thompson. One of the main objects of the council this year was to increase school spirit. This was accomplished by such activities as the Booster Day Pep Rally, which was run completely by the council. The Pre-Thanksgiving Day Parade and Pep Rally (the first of its kind in many years) were also run successfully by the members. The student council has completed many smaller projects throughout the year which has boosted not only school spirit, but the ideas of democracy and unity among the students of G.H.S. This year’s officers are: President—Dick Phillips; Vice-President— Dick Ballou; Secretary—Betsy Ash; and Treasurer—Sue Graves. 93 I 1 NcttioiictJ Wow vt Sootetu This is the second year that Greenfield High School has been affiliated with the National Honor Society. The membership was enlarged this year to include sophomores and juniors who have obtained scholastic and extra¬ curricular excellence also. The members are allowed to use the Student Lounge during their study periods and receive a yellow tassel to wear on their caps during graduation. 94 Cjoio OvuCtJudy ojaAj Scum t C XnJuJ The banner carriers and color guard practiced many long hours during the summer and during school to lead our band at the football games. They provided the band with precision and pep to give our school a good showing. The group consists of Jo-ann Condraski, Nancy Keller, Merry Walsh, Carole Gove, and Christol Yobst. Absent when the picture was taken was Jo Ann Kiefer. 95 The twirlers have been a vigorous and high spirited group of perform¬ ers and representatives of Greenfield High School during the past year. The twirlers participated in three tournaments bringing three trophies back to G.H.S. Besides this, they participated in the ' Franklin County Fair, various parades. The Spring Music Festival which was held in Green¬ field, and rallies as well as each football game. This has taken much work on the part of each of the twirlers as well as their advisor Mr. Bruce Baird. They practiced many hours during the summer as well as during the school year. Two rummage sales, a food sale, and the concession booth at the football game were among the projects the girls sponsored to help raise money to pay for their uniforms and their new hats. 96 This year the cheerleaders of Greenfield High have done a number of things. It started last May when the new squad was chosen. Their first undertaking was practicing two nights a week all summer to prepare for the fall. Next, the squad chose and made their new uniforms. The girls pay for their own uniforms, so this year they decided to try different ways of raising money for them. A rummage sale was the first project and it proved very successful. They sponsored their annual cheerleaders’ dance in October and everyone was pleased with the turnout. At the beginning of the football season the cheerleaders had the booth at the game. Through the help of many this also proved successful. Last on their activities will be a tourna¬ ment to be held at the school. It should be added that the squad won a third place position in the Mansfield Cheering Tournament. 97 CJ JLth The high school Glee Club has been under the direction of Mr. Armen Milton for two years. As in the past, the Glee Club is open to all high school students. During the year the club members meet regularly on Wednesday evenings, rehearsing for various public performances. This year the Glee Club performed at the Christmas Concert and the Spring Festival, as well as several assembly programs. The club members have done a fine job, and they will continue to improve under the direction of Mr. Milton. The tennis team which is coached by Mr. Vickerson is made up of an energetic group of girls who practice hard during their season to win as many matches as possible. The girls have had matches with Bratelboro and other area towns and have been successful in most of them. Their season is split up into two parts—one in the fall and one in the spring. They predict just as successful a season in the spring as the fall. This year’s team consists of—Betty Wormwood, Ann Wormwood, Jean Rogalski, Carol Viens, Caralee Cohen, Frannie Jarvis, Valerie Bruce, and Diane Wesolowski. 99 • t t The volunteer nurses is a recent organization in Greenfield. Mrs. Sautter has formed this group in order to help out the hospital and to give some of the girls who are going on to nursing school a touch of hospital life. The girls work in the dispensary wrapping bandages and they also give a hand delivering trays to the patients. This year’s Exponent staff had one main drive in mind all year; and this goal was to have a different and original school paper that all the school could be proud of, produced by an enthusiastic and imaginative staff. This showed through all the plans, project, and school papers which the Exponent people worked on. Starting almost from scratch, the organization of both the paper and the workers was greatly revised. In the latter case this was necessary partly because of the surprisingly large number of students who showed an interest in helping on the paper. At first the workers were given the opportunity to belong to a regular club, but this new idea did not last too long because of the too-large number of members. The first big project the Exponent undertook was a combination subscription contest between homerooms and slogan-for-the-front-page contest for the individual students. Both contests were introduced in an assembly program early in the year in which members of the Exponent staff put on skits to promote the paper. There was a March of Dimes project (sponsored by the Exponent to try to raise money for this organization), and a contest to get ten finalists for the Exponent Prince and Princess contest. At the time this article was being written there were many plans being made for an original literature contest, a big April Pool issue, a senior talent show, and a Thank-You dinner for Mr. Clough, the advisor, and Mr. Taylor, the printer. The Tri-Hi-Y is an organization which not only benefits its members, but also helps the unfortunate. The girls aid others by giving food baskets at Thanksgiving time, distributing toys at Christmas, and the money that they raise through the carnival is donated to the Y for use in many worthy projects. The girls also have programs for their own enjoyment. They have gone swim¬ ming, sliding, skating, used the Y gym, conducted suppers, and have had club parties. The officers of the Lambda Rho Tri-Hi-Y are: President—Dolores Lawlor, Vice-President—Carole Gove, Secretary—Paula Ruggeri, Treasurer—Alice Kendrick, and Chaplain—Frances Ritter. The officers of the Omega Tau Sigma Tri-Hi-Y are: President—Edie West, Vice- President—Arlene Pelis, Secretary—Nancy Pulaski, Treasurer—Phyllis Zewinski, Chaplain—Janice Sokoloski, Reporter—Carol Hale. 102 Settifw f-ll-Y The main function of the Hi-Y is service. They service their school, community, and fellow man. Their biggest project of the year is the annual Commencement Dance in the High School Gymnasium. The boys always produce original ideas for the decorations and the programs. They work hard and use the money gained from the dance for the Benjamin C. L. Sander Scholarship each year. The officers of this year’s club are: President—Hal Penfield, Vice-President— Jim Griffin, Secretary—Don Duprey, Treasurer—Jack Ward. 103 C uh The main purpose of the rifle club is to teach young people the correct use of firearms. The Rifle Club is partially supported by the government, which ' subsidizes this nationwide program to emphasize the need for and benefits from a strong pro¬ gram of civilian marksmanship. The club is provided with rifles, ammunition, and targets. The club is affiliated with the National Rifle Association and members follow the N.R.A. Junior Qualification Program. The club’s director is Mr. Jonelunas. The members of the club are: Dave Waite, Rill O’Neil, Craig Cook, George Quadrino, Ed Bowe, Valerie Grant, Berta August, Dennis O’Kula, Eugene Morey, Peter Remaly, Gary Dillensneider, Phil Wizwer, Bill Terounzo, Bill Airey, Alan Dates, Jack Stone, Jeff Whitney, Chuck Wyman. wnJUyv CJ ASSiccti The Junior Classical League is an organization whose primary aim is to familiar¬ ize its members with the Roman way of life. It enables the students to learn about the Roman Gods and Goddesses, Latin sayings, and famous stories of ancient Romans. Miss Pierce makes Caesar and his friends come to life for the students with skits concerning them. This year’s officers are: President—Dick Phillips, Vice-President—Janie Cough¬ lin, Secretary—Pam Kenneally, and Treasurer—Jean Chahot. 105 Boys CJiijmhotdm The G.H.S. boy cheerleaders first came on the scene at the annual Booster Day Rally dressed in skirts and sweatshirts. They took a more serious side when they participated in the school rallies and at the Thanks¬ giving Day Game. Although the boys probably wouldn’t win any cheering trophies, they brought out the humor and spirit of our student body by this vigorous cheering. 106 VmAhook Little does an editor realize the challenge of the yearbook. We rely not only upon reporters and editors, but we have to rely on each member of the class to furnish vital statistics and his picture. We find not only those who are eamera shy, but those who have never known their middle names. We realize that a man’s picture is of vital concern to him, but we have learned in some, cases that it is an earth- shaking event. The yearbook endeavors not only a record of the last 180 epic-making days, but also the history of the first 12 years of our schooling. We probe the past for these incidents which are the leavening of lifetime friendships. Sometimes we peer into the future to bring a little humor to our grandchildren. We know that we are human and make omissions and errors, but all-in-all, these are the binding memories of the class in sport, in tribulations, and in success. To those who have helped us, we extend heartfelt apprecia tion. May the spirit of the 1961 Evergreen live on after these pages are yellowed and torn. To those who have worn their shoeleather thin and frayed their tempers, but have earned us $950—To those who have accepted the class photographer and thus provided the money for the financing of the countless pictures you find within— and to those who have patiently persuaded class members to subscribe to this book —Many Thanks! 107 0) o o w K P o 0) 0 a c3 c i M a: .

The boys got off to a good start with a 28-8 win over Agawam. Jerry Kells took over the ropes while Joe Smith was out of action because of an accident and steered the Green Wave to two touchdowns. Joe came in the game later and led the boys to another touchdown right after his entrance. Fran Murphy emerged as scoring champion of the day with four TD’s. Jack MacDonald, A1 Cote, Jack Hanley, and Jerry Kells were clicking with their passes and completions as they helped move the team down the field many times. Greenfield saw a dark day when they visited Chicopee as they lost by a score of 26-0. The loss was taken in stride and the Greenies came back to show W estfield who was boss in the Booster Day Game. The game was sparked with touchdowns galore and a final score of 34-6. Jack Hanley and Fran Murphy were standouts of the game—but they couldn’t have done it without the help of Joe Smith’s passing and our “iron line” of Bob Auclair, Dick Ballou, Ron Kusmeskus, Bill Jule, Dick Phillips, and all the others. Came the game at Holyoke and the fans were ready for another thriller like the Westfield game—but Fate seemed against us and we lost the game 22-20. Jack tried to move the pigskin, but a victory wasn’t in the stars for Greenfield. The loss was soon forgotten after the North Hampton game when the Greenies showed overpower¬ ing defense control and collected a 20-0 victory. As usual Jack and Joe put on a battle and piled up the yardage with their well-timed passing. One of the best of the season was a 40 yard pass to A1 Cote in the ’Hamp game. Another was a 37-yarder to Jack MacDonald in the same game. Next, came the Cathedral Panthers at Trade Field. We missed the winning two points by inches as we tied it up 6-6. Dave Biskerski proved helpful in the game by stopping a couple of threatening gains by the Panthers. Fran Murphy showed his “tank tactics” by plowing through their line for a 44 yard touchdown. Greenfield saw two more losses, one to West Side and the other to Tech after the Cathedral game—but all was put aside in our memories as the Thanksgiving Day Game turned out for the best and Greenfield won 30-8. Led by speedster Hanley and blockbuster Murphy, the Greenies churned out a deserving victory in their last meeting of the season. There was plenty of hard hitting by the line with Biskerski, Auclair, Dziekonski, and Kuzmeskus up in front. Dan MacFarland sparked at the very end of the game with a pass completion of 39 yards to Pete Ciszewski. There was no time for another play, but the fans rooting for Greenfield didn’t go home feeling disappointed by any means. Dave Biskerski throws vital block for Greenie ball carrier. Green Wave defense rush Turners Falls foe in Turkey Day clash. Players in white uniforms are Greenfield s Jack McDonald (35) and Ronnie Kuzmeskus.

Greenie Co-Captain Jack Hanley outruns would be tacklers in the gridiron contest against Tech. Greenie defenseman Jack McDonald (white 35) pursues Turners Falls foe during Turkey Day clash. CAPTAIN GORDON UMBERGER With only one returning veteran, Dan Dyer’s team had a disappointing 4-14 record. The season started in December with two games in Keene. These games did not count on the season’s record as they were practice games. Greenfield lost to West Side at home in the last three seconds. Greenfield lost its first four games, with the exception of Turners Fall. They beat Westfield. They then lost the next four games to Holyoke, Holyoke Catholic, Northampton, and Chicopee. Starting the second round, the Greenies lost to Turners and beat West Side. They lost to Holyoke, Chicopee, Westfield, hut beat Holyoke Catholic to end the Valley League with a 4-10 record. The Greenies had a good potential, but seemed to lose their zip in the tail end of the season. - OuA JkCum - Captain Gordon Umberger, Gordon was the only varsity player to return from last year’s team. Gordon although a l ight scorer provided the Greenies with sound leadership. Gordon was rated as one of the top defensive players on the team. His best game was in a first round game against Chicopee. Greenfield lost Gordon for the rest of the season due to a broken bone in his foot in a game at West Side. Don Wilkinson, “Wilk” was the tallest man on this year’s team. He stood 6’ 3”. Don improved with every game. His best game was against West Side as he re¬ bounded and scored like a pro. Many people believed that an early season sickness kept Don from reaching his full potential. Paul Croften, Paul was a fine backcourt man for Dan Dyer’s team this year. Paul’s best shot was a quick jumper at the top of the key. Paul was one of the leading scorers on this year’s team. Jack MacDonald, Jack was in many ways the best all around player on tbe team when he was hot. A rugged rebounder and a good scorer, Jack bad his best game against Turners Falls when he scored eighteen points. Boh Haseltine, Bob was a transfer from New Salem High. He was the second tallest boy on tbe team. Bob did most of his playing at the tail end of the season. His best shot was a left handed jumper along the foul line. John Barrett, This was John’s first year on the team. With fast hands and a good eye he was a good defensive man for the Greenies. If he had been out for basketball for 2 years he would have had a better chance for making the first team. Dick Greene, This was also Dick’s first year on varsity. His best shot was a two handed set shot. He improved as the season went on, and started the last two games. Butch Patonde, On his best nights Butch was the best in the Valley League. He can rebound, shoot, and play defense. With hard work Butch could be the best in the Valley next year. Good Potential. Jerry Kells, Jerry can score with the best of them, is the talk heard down the Valley. Jerry s only trouble was his lack of consistency. If Jerry can play steady ball he will help the Greenies next year. John Haseltine, John was the best scorer on this year’s team. Only a sophomore, John developed into a good jumper. He scored over twenty points in three games. With hard work and practice John could be college material in two more years. 117 118 BasehcM With nine returning players, Stan Benjamin looks forward to a winning season. Jerry Kells, Butch Patnode, and Paul Sullivan provide the Greenies with some front pitching. At first base will be Jack McDonald. Second base will be in the hands of Buddy Rich. Jack Haselton will be at shortstop and Gordon Umberger at third rounds out the left side of the infield. Fran Murphy will handle the catching job and left field will be Joe Smith’s territory. Speedy Jack Hanley will patrol center field. Right field is up for grabs with Hal Penfield, Jim Goutu, and Billy Martin getting the chance to win the job. With so many returning players, Greenfield -stands a good chance to have a very successful season. 120 This year’s track team hopes to successfully defend its Valley Teague and Franklin County Championships, which it won last year. Some returnees from last year’s team are: Polevaulters—A1 Cote and Stu Brown, Javelin Thrower—Dick Ballou, Sprinters—Bill Nichols, Jack Hanley, and Butch Patnode, Distance Men—Ed Tourtellotte and Dick Phillips (440), Don Wilkinson, Ken Wilkinson, Roily Harris (880), and Don Wilkinson and Tom Piontek (mile). Many people don’t realize that track has become such a popular sport, but the track team at Greenfield and their excellent record certainly prove it. 121 The spor, of wrestling, now offered at G.H.S., has much to offer its students in the line of equality. First, there is equality in weights. Unlike football, in which a small, light body may have to clash with a huge, massive one, wrestling is a course of endurance with specific weight classes. For instance, a 127 pound wrestler of G.H.S. would team up with a 127 pound wrestler of the opposing team. One exception is in the unlimited class. A wrestler may weigh 180 pounds and be against an opponent of 230 pounds. Actually, these men equal each other because of tbe fact that one may be weak and the other may be strong; generally, tbe lighter man is strong. This new sport also has advantages in regard to winning trophies. The present club went to a tropby tournament March 11, 1961. Greenfield has had one match with Mount Hermon and two with Mahar Regional. The team has also wrestled at an informal meet with members of the Springfield Y.M.C.A. Much credit should go to the coach, George Dyer, a former college champion. Many of you know Mr. Dyer as a football coach and teacher, who brings with him a great sport. 7e uuS TttUw This year’s tennis team is larger than last year’s team although it is less experieneed. This is due to the fact that the top three men were lost through graduation. The only veteran that is returning to this year’s lineup is Richard Hamer, who is captain and number four last year. The 1961 edition of the team comprises: Seniors—Dick Hamer, Phil Wizwer, Jack Stone, Dick Strecker, Bill Airey, Billy Korzon, and Jack Sweeley. Juniors— Peter Gunn. Sophomores—George Quadrino, Boh Hamer, John Bergeron, and Russ Hunt. Others will probably join later in practice. This year’s team will have to work hard to beat the record of last year. The team came in second in the Valley League, in addition to second in the Western Massachusetts Competition. The top f our went to the New England Interscholastic Tennis Championships at Harvard University. They came home with one loss and one win. A word of thanks should go to Mr. Vickerson, who has worked very hard with the boys to build up interest and a capable team. 123 Sctsk tboM BONNIE PRATT EDIE WEST PEGGY PIERCE LINDA ZLOBL JAN KOCH PAULA RUGGERI Captain KATHY STEINER SUE WEST SANDY SEARS SYLVIA BULLARD Joaio Sctsk tbctM VARSITY HIGHLIGHTS The varsity basketball team ended up the season with a very good record—only two losses. There was some fine defensive work done by Captain Jan Koch, as well as Edie West and Sylvia Bullard. Bonnie Pratt was high scorer for the season with her consistent baskets. Miss Cappelluzzo trained the girls well and deserves a word of thanks for turning out such a fine team. The junior varsity didn’t have such a successful season, but they showed great promise for next year. 126 Gink’ QoffbcM Even though the softball team hasn’t started, a good potential is seen for many wins. Bonnie Pratt, Peggy Pierce, Diane Wesoloski, Linda Zlo bl, and Sylvia Bullard comprise the seasoned veterans. With Lin at home plate, Bonnie Pratt on first base, and Peggy in the outfield, our team should do well. The new members must not be forgotten either. They will play an important part in the final record. 127 CONWAY STREET SCHOOL CJks Misfmy That wonderful year, 1948, was the beginning of the class of “1961.” That was the year we were almost cut loose from our mother’s apron strings. As we walked into the kindergarten of the Conway Street School, we timidly waited for the teacher to seat us. That is, all except JERRY STAIGER, who made a mad dash for the fire engine. He forcefully implied that he didn’t like school by trying to run down his first teacher. Eirst grade was the year of hard knocks! Learning how to read and write. But this is where PAM SEVER¬ ANCE really took a beating. She just refused to coop¬ erate with the teacher. She would rather draw than write! The Don Juans of the class were BOB GIBBS, PETER CAMERON, and DONALD GRAY. They always wanted to sit among the girls. This especially delighted JOANNE LETOURNEAU, who was rather sweet on DONALD GRAY. Second grade was a year that ran smoothly for both teacher and children, but third grade was quite different. One of the big events at that time was GAIL CLIF¬ FORD’S birthday party. According to tradition, at birth¬ day parties children expect ice cream and cake. But GAIL’S mother served stew! Kids being kids, NANCY KELLER, PRISCILLA RENFREW, and NANCY PU¬ LASKI ran to get the gifts they had brought and said, “No cake for us, no presents for you!” As far as GAIL is concerned, that was the year she and EDDIE JENEST were planning to get married. No one knows whether they went through with it! So many good things came to- an end at our dear Alma Mater as the class split up to go to different schools, but to meet again at G.H.S. PRISCILLA RENFREW FEDERAL STREET SCHOOL Those days at Federal Street were, as many can remember, fun filled and hectic. Kindergarten, 1948, was an eventful year as this was the beginning of EUGENE DARLING’S and DICK KNOWLTON’S ca¬ reers. Believe it or not, these boys, at such a tender age, were chosen to he our class milkmen. It was their duty to pass out the milk and Ritz crackers during recess. No matter how good PAUL CROFTON was, he just couldn’t be trusted as he loved crackers, and once he got a few in his possession no one else had a chance. In first grade our class was blessed with another talented youngster. Her name was LOUISE WRIGHT and our class was able to hear a talented singer. While LOUISE was entertain¬ ing the class, GORDON UMBERGER would sit in the front row and curl his already curly hair around his finger. Our third year of fun began when we were pushed to another teacher. Miss Tarbell. This year everyone s interest turned to sports. Our class has many good rope jumpers, but BETH ALDEN Avas the undisputed cham¬ pion. She could outjump anyone until the day she caught her toe on the rope and fell flat. After that she resigned her title. Second grade was also the year JUDY CAR¬ TER, DEBBY NIMS, and PEGGY PIERCE had a fight over who was the best tomboy at Federal Street. We can’t leave the second grade without mentioning our marble champ, BOBBY MADOR. He won almost every marble in the school! We then progressed to third grade. This year was one of romance for GORDON UMBERGER and MAR¬ ILYN HILL. Many of the girls called PAUL CROFTON “Romeo” as he always seemed to be surrounded by girls. His “Juliet” in third grade was PEGGY PIERCE, but she was replaced in sixth grade by CAROLINE HARPER. Fourth grade was the year STANLEY STRAHAN entered our class. As soon as he appeared a certain young “miss” by the name of LINDA BUCK put her claims on him. But this romance was soon broken up when the teacher decided there was too much talking going on between the two, so STAN’S seat was moved across the room. This year was also a year of mysteries. For some reason the paste seemed to vanish into thin air. The mystery was finally solved when we caught LINDA PARKER going in for her mid-morning snack! Fifth grade was the year our class was in a state of perpetual confusion. There were many parties that year including one at which Ave played spin-the-bottle. But instead of kissing to pay the penalty, we shook hands! This year PAT TWYON entered our class. PAT really gave PAUL CROFTON a fight over the title of “Romeo” of the class. The feuding ended when the two decided to share the title. Our sixth and final year at Federal Street was one to remember! JUDY CARTER was captain of the patrol monitors, and she had many of the underclassmen quak¬ ing in their shoes. CINDY QUICK was chosen to lead the morning exercises. Every song seemed to end with everyone laughing and CINDY yelling at us to shut up and sing. We had two newcomers this year. DAVID GARSON was considered very quiet and shy until he was caught giving SUE CLARK the eye while hiding behind a book. BILL CAPSHAW got a fiendish delight in throwing snowballs at the girls. In fact, LINDA BUCK got so flustered at this that she fell and broke her ankle. And so ended our happy days at Federal Street School as we headed tOAvard the neAV experience of Junior High School. PEGGY PIERCE FOUR CORNERS Four Corners School Avas certainly a school of happy and funny incidents. 1948 was the beginning of a twelve year reign of what today is the graduating class of ’61. Unforgettable 129 events happened all over Greenfield on that fateful day in September as the eager little children began school. Four Corners was the source of many humorous occa¬ sions. As we look back on that first day we remember BUDDY RICH and CAROL HOBSON building castles, and BERTA COOMBS starting school with a bang as she fell off the jungle gym. May Day was a tradition at Four Corners, and, keeping in the spirit of things, DIANE WESOLOWSKI strewed flowers behind the queen instead of conventionally placing them in front of her. Romance started early for BETSY ASH, as in first grade, out of a clear blue sky, she ran up to PAUL BARRETT and gave him a big kiss. Eliot Ness and the “Untouch¬ ables” should have been present when BERTA AUGUST and SANDRA SANDRI almost got kidnapped going home to lunch. That shy little lad named JOHN STONE was embarrassed to death when CAROL TETREAULT asked him to square dance. Third grade proved almost fatal for VALERIE BRUCE when BIELY JUEE snipped some of her locks. When told by the teacher to return the favor she backed out. KAREN ROSSMEISL proved to have a green thumb as she was designated official “plant waterer” for the class project of growing carrot tops. Fifth grade was an action packed year. Remember when DICK STRECKER, never to be out done, gave a jar of paste to the teacher in place of her hand cream. Hula dancing headed the popularity poll and ERANNI JARVIS’S talent almost got her a job at Wakiki Beach . . . Story time, with narrator JIM LEPI. His opening phrase “Do you know what” always held something in store for those who didn’t know what. JANET KOCH and BONNIE PRATT could always be found playing “keep-away” with the boys during recess while after school hours BONNIE and JOE SMITH indulged in a fascinating game entitled “Spin the Bottle” . . . DICK HAMER and BERTA COOMBS will never forget the day spent in the tree behind the school, while CAROL NOYES’ familiar giggle added to the adventure . . . We had our own “Can-Can” show when BERTA AUGUST decided to show the class just how many petticoats she was wearing. Boy, what a time JACK SWEEEEY, ERANCIS HERZIG, and EDDIE TOURTEEOTTE had at that show, free admission no less. Excursions to Old Deer field and Acadia added thrills galore. The grave yard at Deerfield raised the question “Are they all Dead?” Senior parties couldn’t compare to those that SANDRA SANDRI had in the second grade. With all these occurrences we certainly can’t forget the wonderful years we all had at Eour Corners. VALERIE BRUCE BERTA COOMBS GREEN RIVER In the fall of 1948, the Old Green River School was the meeting place for the new kindergarteners who in thirteen short years, would be part of the graduating class of 1961. This first year of school was uneventful and the following September these budding scholars moved to the new Green River School on Meridian Street. I wonder if RICKY McCAIN has learned to take his teacher’s advice yet? Do you remember the time you tested the cold iron railing with your tongue to see if it really would stick? And it did! The first big romance in our class was between SHARON LASKOSKI and RICHARD GREENE. In second grade, SAM KAEPPEL acquired an extensive literary background by spending much of his time in Miss Lamb’s book closet. The only problem was that the purpose of his visits was not to read books! This was also the year that the school went in the red paying for the rulers that were broken over BILL HOLDEN’S head. In fourth grade we visited the fire station. After our visit we drew a large fire engine on the bulletin board and used every red crayon in the building trying to color it. This year ARLENE PELIS, PHYLLIS ZEWINSKI, BEA WARYASZ, and PAT ATTESSI got the cheering bug and the whole school rang with their enthusiasm. In the fifth grade AGNES BROWN had the honor of answering the phone for Mrs. Stone. This was the year we went to Acadia to see the birds and to SAM KAEPPEL’S to see his rabbits. The size of our class increased by one as BARB ANDERER entered our school. We were warned to be on our best behaviour so as to make a good impression on her. How envious we were when she received all the teacher’s attention. Eifth grade also saw a flurry of romances for ARLENE PELIS. When JOEL PEKALSKI ignored her attentions she rallied quickly and turned to RUSTY STRAHAN. BEA WARYASZ and JUDY KAY used to be excused every morning in order to make the teacher’s coffee. I wonder how it tasted? In sixth grade BEA WARYASZ was lieutenant of the Safety Patrol and was the teacher’s pet. We put on a Christmas Tableau and PAT ATTESSI was The Virgin Mary. What a time we had playing spin-the-bottle. Re¬ member when LEONARD HAGGARTY got to kiss BARB ANDERER? And how about the time AL COTE threw the eraser against the wall just to show how the chalk powder would stick. Yes, this was a great year, with our snowball fights, and softball games in Kelly’s field. JUDY KAY had a crush on RUSTY STRAHAN but ARLENE PELIS was still in there fighting. PAT AT¬ TESSI and MARCELLA HOYNOSKI had quite a rivalry over SAM KAEPPEL. Do you remember the big snowman MARIAN PEASE and MARY ROBY built during recess and how angry they were when DONALD WELCOME pushed it over. And MARIE KAMEKA always seemed to get snow down her neck. I wonder how! Our years at Green River ended with a large picnic at Marcella’s where everyone ate their fill and had a marvelous time. MARCELLA HOYNOSKI JUDY KAY 130 HOLY TRINITY SCHOOL Graduation of the class of ’57 lay somewhere be¬ tween light and darkness, between sleeping and waking, reality and illusion. So it seemed to the struggling first graders at Holy Trinity School. Although the eight long years were filled with study and hard work, there were many events that will always be remembered by the students who graduated in 1957 from H.T.S. Who can forget our first Beacon Lights when Sister Agnes Angela’s class sang “Teddy Bear’s Picnic,” and Sister Margarita’s first grade sang “When Grandmother Used to Dance the Minuet.” In the sixth grade JOANNE CONDRASKI, dressed in a frilly pink costume, made her dancing debut by dancing out on the stage and falling flat on her face. That ended her career! There were many competent singers in our class in¬ cluding JIMMY CLARK with his soprano solos, the famous duet of CAPPY FINN and CHRISTOL YOBST, who attempted to sing “Be My Baby Bumble Bee,” and the Trinity trio, PEGGY DEGRANO, JO-ANN KIEFER, and CHRISTOL YOBST. You must remember the song “Muskrat Ramble” as it was the only song they knew, and they sang it constantly. “Puppy Love” was our next venture. In case some members of our class have forgotten their childhood heart throbs, we have taken it upon ourselves to refresh their memories. Remember how inseparable CAROLE GOVE and BILLY DONOVAN were in the sixth and seventh grade? And how about FRANNIE RITTER and JERRY MUSIAK? Do you think that way back in third grade when JIMMY GRIFFIN said that he kinda liked LINDA RUGGERI he meant it? And how about EILEEN DEVENEY’S and DONALD DUPREY romance that started way back in first grade. I often wondered why CHRISTOL YOBST always seemed to be mad at JACK HANLEY. Could it be because JACK walked CAROLE GOVE to school every morning and TINY MOTT home every night? CAROL VIENS and ROBERT HANDY were the talk of the third grade. And remember when JEANNE KEMPF said she found her true love when she met BUDDY FALCON. And who will forget the New York trip when MARY PERROTTA took ED¬ WARD BOWE for every cent he had. For his gallantry he received one kiss while going through the dark tunnel on the trip home. In the spring there were always those Saturday mornings to look forward to when CAPPY FINN, our captain, PAULA RUGGERI, LINDA RUGGERI, TINY MOTT, MAUREEN BROUGHAN, LOIS MARINI, CAROLE GOVE, JOANNE KIEFER, FRANNE RIT¬ TER, PEGGY DEGRANO, JOANNE CONDRASKI, CAROL VIENS, and DORRIE LAWLOR would get up early to show their athletic skills. I wonder if that’s why they’re so athletic, today? I wonder why BOB AUCLAIR doesn’t wear bright red shirts with polka dots any more? It must be because in eighth grade he wore such a sh irt to school, and Sister Rose Thomas made him go home and change it, and then write one hundred times “I’ll never wear bright clothes to school again.” And do you remember how JACKY LAPSERITIS used to tease the girls who were trying to recite in class. I’m sure no girl who was one of his victims will ever forget JACKY and his mirrors. And those hayrides! Certain couples such as JACK McDonald and peggy degrano, tiny mott and JOHN MOYLAN, certainly seemed to have fun! And JACK HANLEY certainly seemed to enjoy himself. Do you remember how quiet GARY O’SULLIVAN and JOHN PICKWELL were in class? They underwent quite a change when they got outside! And how PHIL ARGY always seemed to get into the teacher’s bad graces because he wore his shirt collars turned up and clumped around in his high black boots. I’m sure none of you girls will ever forget the bir thday parties that VIRGINIA MASSEY and SHARON CALISEWSKI had. DAVE BISKERSKI—do you remember what fun you used to have entertaining certain girls at your house until Sister Mary Teresa found out about this. How PINKY KEN¬ NEY used to wish that he could grow a couple of feet. And how PEGGY BUSHWAY, CAMILLA LUSCO, DONNA DUPREY, JUDY SULLIVAN and DIANE WOODS had a difficult time walking down the narrow aisles with their gigantic hoops under their skirts. The girls always used to say that ROLLY HARRIS would always be the quiet type and DONALD GALVIN would someday be the not quiet type. I think everyone has changed their ideas about both of them since. CAROL WISSMAN—do you remember the sudden craze you had for fig bars in the sixth grade? JEAN ROGALSKI had her long desired surprise birthday party which turned out to be hysterical. Remember when MARY ROY was the apple of PETER’s eye? Remember too when ROB¬ ERT TOMAUSAUCHAS and DENNIS WINN partici¬ pated in the baseball game at Beacon Fields—Sister Rose Thomas would call on the boys to sing solos in front of the entire class when their voices were changing. Our graduation dance and banquet in ’57 was the big activity at that time. Especially when the humorous prophecy and will were read to the class. Another big activity in our final year was the boys’ great victory in defeating two baseball teams consequently in two years. This was the first time in 20 years that it had ever happened and the girls rewarded most of the boys after¬ wards. Graduation from Holy Trinity was both joyful and sorrowful. We left friends behind but looked forward to meeting new ones. Then, the class of ’57 departed, advancing forward to a bright future but always remem¬ bering the wonderful days at Holy Trinity School. CHRISTOL YOBST MAUREEN BROUGHAN JEAN ROGALSKI PEGGY DEGRANO NEWTON SCHOOL In 1948 an excited, but cheerful group of youngsters entered the hallowed halls of Newton Street School. All were extremely shy except SALLY SCHWARZ who made off with the prettiest doll. Can everyone remember 131 FREEMAN JOHNSON struggling with his chair to get in the front row during assembly? After learning our colors we graduated to first grade where ALBERT RUSS met with Miss Purrington’s ruler at least once a week. Our annual trips to DAVID KOCH’S farm started that year. Remember DONALD GRAY running for his life when he saw the bulls. In second grade JOHN McCORMACK was always coming in late because he used to get up at five o’clock to go fishing. We can always picture SHEILA KERY- LOW writing love notes to pass to BOB WEIR at recess or CHERYL PACKARD winning prizes each year for selling the most seeds. Third grade started off with a gallop as CAROLYN GREEN, MARSHA KOSTERMAN and TOLLI du MONT played horses all over the front lawn during the lunch periods. MAURICE PERRY stole the show as he continually won sugar daddies for his spelling, it was even worse when he received permission to eat them in front of all his envious classmates. And we can all re¬ member when SALLY SCHWARZ’S tongue froze on the cold doorknob and she went home screaming. Graduation day came at last and we were promoted to the fourth grade. On Tuesdays we had bank day and PHILLIP WIZWER outshined us all when he brought IScf. to deposit. VICTOR DI GEORGE used to bring snakes to school in his pockets to scare the girls. Does anyone remember MARY DANIELSKI and PHILLIP WIZWER going steady and dancing every square danee together until they were wisely separated by Miss Car¬ ney? FRANCIS O’NEIL joined us in fourth grade just in time to be added to KATHY LILLY’S list of 14 boy¬ friends. We used to all miss GINNY ARENA during the afternoon sessions as she spent them in the lavoratory. Now we mounted the ladder of success to the fifth grade. We shall always remember HELEN SUCHANEK and CHERYL LACKARD staying after school to clap the erasers on the sides of the buildings. At this time EDMUND COLLETTE was the school’s marble champion. During the fifth grade fair BILL JULES was reluctant to part with his nickel to the unknown fish pond, and CARALEE COHEN masqueraded as the all knowing fortune teller. At last the big step was made, the whole class moved to Abercrombie for our sixth grade. Here we displayed our numerous hobbies; GINNY ARENA collected movie stars, TOLLI DU MONT brought her impressive horse collection, MARY DANIELSKI brought her wet, dirty puppy, Pogo, who roamed the school at will, and CAR¬ OLYN GREEN brought her wedding dress collection, then refused to show it to anybody. We made a big trip to Boston that year and visited everything. Here BILL JULES climbed up onto a stately horse statue and called ‘Heigh Ho, Silver!’ to the dismay of the crowd. MARY DANIELSKI, CARALEE COHEN, and BILL JULES formed a ‘hot corner’ in the back of the room where they told jokes during the math sessions. PHILIP WIZER, ERANCIS O’NEIL, VICTOR DI GEORGE, and DONALD GRAY used to get their knuckles slapped every time they were bad in assembly. Sixth grade will always he remembered as the start of BILL JULES’ smoking career, and KATHY LILLY offering baton lessons free, if you gave her your dessert. The year ended with a good-bye to friends and the hopes of a bigger and better future at junior high. MARY DANIELSKI NORTH PARISH The days at North Parish have long passed by, but the memories of those days will never be forgotten. It would be an impossibility to forget the daily workout on EDDIE JENEST’S swing rope and EDDIE SHEPARD’S cry for help as he flew through the air dangling by one hand. And who could forget the tears that NANCY PULASKI shed whenever she attempted to play jump- rope with two certain girls.’ And—oh the flirt of the class was none other than JIM COUTU who used to sit behind the girls in the movies and tease them. Our recesses at school were always quite lively as MARTHA BUDREWICZ and JANICE JUBB were our star kick- ball players—with CAROLE HALE rooting them on as cheerleader for the class. The two girls who could never be separated were SUSAN MACLEOD and DIANE ELMER—they were quite the couple! A newcomer to North Parish was HAL PENFIELD, who made quite a hit with the girls. He and BUD EALCON could never leave the girls alone. A daily sight to us all was HAROLD TOOMBS, who one day broke his glasses and almost walked into Nashes Mills Pond. BOBBY GIBBS could always be seen winning marbles from all the students. He really was a champ at it. ROGER CHAPLIN always seemed to lose when he played. Einally, the North Parish sixth graders will never forget their thrilling trip to the big city of New York. This is where GAIL CLIFEORD and NANCY KELLER decided to spend the rest of their lives. MARSHA KOSTERMAN and CAROL NADEAU decided never to return after getting separated from the rest of the group. All of these memories will never be forgotten b y the members of the class of ’61 who attended North Parish. It was from here that we all descended upon the big Junior High School to make many new friends and kept most of the old. GAIL CLIFEORD PIERCE STREET The year started out for many in a good way but for some it was not their happiest day. For JACK HANLEY it was a bad day. We can remember how he sat in the corner and cried. But for others it was dif¬ ferent, PAM SICARD and JUDY PALMER didn’t mind being left alone, but they did mind the fact that they both wanted the same doll. They fought it out and PAM finally won. The teacher knew just what to do, and it 132 (lid the trick. She showed the kids where the toys were and just let them go. They did and the first day of school was over. After that the rest was easy. Every day the teacher would check our hands to see if they were clean, and, if they were, we would get a picture stamped on our hand. DICKY GREENE never did get the stamp. The beginning of the year one of the boys locked himself in the chalk closet and when he came out he was covered with chalk. That proved to be a laugh day for the class. ALICE KENDRICK was the one in our class who just loved to bring her blanket to school to sleep on during rest period, that was the time of day when we would have milk and cookies (really graham crackers) and then have a rest. We all loved first grade because we began to feel grown up. In the first grade we began to read, and we all sat in circles and read out of our Jane and Dick books. BILLY KORZON never did understand that book. We loved to play dodge ball at recess and, in the winter, build snow men. The boys knocked them down and smashed them. In the spring we loved to play hop¬ scotch, jump rope and jack stones (the girls that is) and for the boys there was always baseball. The first grade went fast for all of us and before we knew it we were all ready for summer and the second grade next year. In the second grade we really began to feel grown up, and, to show it, we began to shoot notes across the room to each other. This was the beginning of our first romances. In the second grade the boys got a little wiser, and DICKY GREENE loved to dip ERANNY JARVIS’ pigtails in tbe ink. And all tbe boys did at recess was chase the girls to tease them. GINNY GARPENTER was one of the girls who didn’t like to get caught be¬ cause that meant that she would get kissed. She was kind of shy. Every year the 40 and 8 came around and we would give our toys to the needy. JUDY PALMER hated to give up her toys and she always cried. She did give in though. Memorial Day that year MARY-JO GADREAULT did a twirling routine, ERANGES JARVIS lead the salute to the flag, EDDIE TOURTELLOTTE and GAROLE GOVE read poems. And with that our second year came to an end. In third grade we were really up in the world, so we thought. We had a play. It was centered around a dinner. DIGKY GREENE played the father, GAROLE GOVE played the mother, and there were two daughters played by LINDA BUCK and ERANCES JARVIS. We also had a spelling contest and LINDA BUCK won the prize. Memorial Day that year we had a square dance and the excitement that arose that day was tremendous as all the parents were there and watching. PHYLLIS SZULBORSKI, GINNY GARPENTER, and EDIE TAY¬ LOR were the shortest girls in our class. How they hated it when some of the big boys, such as JIM WES- OLOWSKI, BILL SGHOTTE, and RODNEY DANIL- WIGZ used to chase them home. And do you remember how DELORES KIDDER always wanted to play base¬ ball with the boys? Thus third grade ended and we were all glad for the summer was coming but we knew that we would not all he together next year. We met again in Junior High and many of us will graduate together. It’s sort of nice—- we started together and we will finish together. CAROLE GOVE JUNIOR HIGH Junior High was a big adventure. For the first time, students from all over town met in the same building. One of the big social events of the seventh grade was the Snow Shoe Skip. It was our first dance as junior high students. Once a week, babysitting school took priority over all other after-school activities. Everyone was thrilled when the Greenfield Babysitting School was featured in a nation-wide magazine. Some of the big romances during this year were BETSY ASH and BUDDY FALCON, LINDA BUCK and JACK SWEE- LEY, GORDON UMBERGER and BEA WARYASZ, and PAM SEVERANCE and EDDIE TOURTELLOTTE. In eighth grade many girls began to show their cheering ability. Among the novice cheerleaders were GAIL CLIFFORD, PAM SICARD, MARY JO GAD¬ REAULT, BARB ANDERER, and PAM SEVERANGE. This was the year that MARGELLA HOYNOSKI won the “Keep Ghrist in Christmas” contest. We also had a talent show. STUART BROWN played the saxophone, MERRY WALSH sang “A Poor Man’s Ro ses,” and VERLE BRYANT and PAT PEARSON sang a duet. STEVE PINTER entered our class this year. At that time he could speak no English and was such a shy boy. He sure has changed! Remember those wonderful days when students had to copy the rules from the student handbook as detention punishment. And I’m sure ,we’ll never forget those long walks from the junior high to the “Y” and back again. The sacrifices we used to make for Phys. Ed! PRIS¬ CILLA DELANO, PAT GAZILLO, CHERYL SER¬ GEANT, and JANET WAIT always seemed to be in the midst of the snowball fights. Ninth grade was the year that PAT TWYON finally got a chance to smoke in school legally. When he gave a report on nicotine in Mr. Card’s room, he had to give a demonstration. Mr. Randall had quite a time with some of the boys this year. The boys, whose voices were changing, were made to sing the scale. You should have heard some of the squeaks. Remember how Mrs. Weth- erbe’s all girl class sang Christmas carols in assembly. On the same program the dramatics club presented “Little Women” with CAROL FLEMING, JAGK SWEE- LEY, and CARALEE GOHEN. In ninth grade DIGK PHILLIPS moved to Greenfield and caused quite a stir among the girls. Other newcomers that year included DEBBY CHURCH, MARY ANNE EWART, CARMEN MANICA, NONIE PORTER, and RAYMOND PRO¬ VOST. This was also the year that the students from Holy Trinity made their appearance. Our class was growing by leaps and bounds. CAROLYN GREEN’S party the last day of ninth grade proved to be a great success. Among those attending were DORRIE LAW- 133 LER, JOANNE CONDRASKI. GINNY MASSEY, NINA FLANDERS, and LINDA RUGGERL BILLY JULE, JOE SMITH, and JACK HANLEY wore bermudas to school on that beautiful spring day and Avere quickly sent home to change their pants. On this note we moved on to higher things, namely high school. NINA FLANDERS VIRGINIA MASSEY SENIOR HIGH Early in September 1958 the lowly sophomores en¬ tered High School. For once we were on equal footing with the upper classmen as no one knew his way around, but it was too good to be true as the seniors lost no time in showing us who was boss. Our first social activity in our Sophomore year was the “Snow Flake Hop,” which was a successful flop. This big event had a net profit of $2.50. This was also the year in which all the little sopho¬ more girls completely flipped over those big dreamy sen¬ ior boys. After a lot of hard work, the following girls put the ring in the bulls’ noses and led them off to the parking pasture. Pam and Skip, Arlene and Dick, Sheila and Frank, Barb and Kerm, Linda and Jim, and Pam and Donnie. While the girls were flipping over the dreamy seniors our own little hoys were getting hooked by the freshman girls. These sophomore boys were striving to be men but instead they dwindled to the insignificance of going steady. Croft, and Micky, Juice and Mary Anne, Joe and Pat, and many more of those suckers. This was the year that Jack Hanley was placed on the All Western Mass, football team . . . when A1 Cote aspired to pole-vaulting 15 ft. but only made 6 ft. . . . when the girls defeated Frontier and won the Grafton Tournament . . . when our young girls assisted in win¬ ning the Mansfield Cheering Tournament . . . when a few of the sophomore boys such as Jack McDonald helped Greenfield win a stomping victory on Turkey Day . . . 6-0 . . . when Thomas Koshinsky was hung in the closet ... by his belt . . . when Mrs. Sigda was replaced by Mr. Spangler and we began our study of the Arabian language instead of English . . . when John Dejnek was always in trouble with Miss Congdon . . . when Jimmy Griffin spent time in the corner as punishment for talking to Gail . . . and everyone remembers, especially the boys, “Story Telling Time” in Mr. Weymouth’s class and, also, the day we spent the period smoking cigarettes supposedly for a nicotine test. Our first invaders were Linda Zlobl, Karen Sease, and Lynn Giffin who appeared to be well liked by every¬ one. Lynn immediately got into the swing of things by dying her hair a different color every week. There were few sophomore parties but one will always stand out. That was Bahs LaPointe’s P.J. party. There was a slow beginning to the party but when Rinny got through, the place was in an uproar. . . . and what did Rinny do??? She only hypnotized everyone in the place. And so our sophomore year ended. When we entered our Junior year we were caught in the middle. No longer were Ave the innocent little sophomores Avho would tolerate the upper classmen’s bullying. Yet we couldn’t assert ourselves for the seniors just wouldn’t stand for it. So we had to content our¬ selves with bumping along, midway between the devil and the deep blue sea. What did we do during our Junior Year? Well, here goes. Our major accomplishment was the beginning of the now traditional Junior Prom. Although we were skeptical at first, the Prom was a huge success. Not only did we make money, which was our ulterior motive, but we had fun, too. And what could be better than that?— besides making more money, of course. We next tried to make a name for ourselves by sta¬ ging our junior plays. We weren’t content with one when we could put on two. They were entitled “Buddy Answers an Ad,” and “Candy Goes on a Diet.” Who will ever forget DONALD GALVIN’S face when JUDY KAY began to lather his face with cosmetics. Or how about JANET KOCH’S memorable lines, “Popcorn? I never touch the stuff. It’s bad for my figure, you know.” Such type casting! This was the year that BILL AIREY, CHRYSTEL LAWSON, NINA JACKMAN, and MEREDITH DAVIES entered our class. And do you remember the mad crush BEV AMES had on EDMOND COLLETTE? And JANICE SOKOLOSKI also had problems. She was going out with a certain twin—but the question was, which twin was she going out with. Our girls still seemed to find the older boys attractive. Dou you remember those great romances such as BETSY and JOE, JANET and SHORTY, CAROL and BILLY, GAIL and STEVE, and EDIE and HENRY? Remember when DON CREEK and BILL ZABCO had glue and paste fights in the cabinet shop; when DICK GIBBS was always in trouble for flipping coins in study; when DENNY HOAR had to leave his car off the school grounds because of an undisclosed reason; when Mrs. Studer’s class had dress up day; when our cheerleaders assisted in winning the Spencer Tourna¬ ment; when GORDON helped lead our team to second place in the Assumption Tournament. Also, how can the boys forget the night of the Junior Prom—and also the next morning. Upon receiving report cards, many of the Juniors, rather. Seniors, headed for an all day cook-out at Laurel Lake. Those who attended the party will never forget AL COTE’S tool chest and JIMMY GRIFFIN’S Coca- Cola cooling chest. Not to mention BILL JULES’ futile attempt at being a “romeo” and his unsuccessful swim¬ ming across the lake with his clothes on. And so ended our Junior year, or rather began our Senior year. Was 134 this “party” to be typical of our Senior year? Well, we’ll see. The summer passed quickly and before we knew it, it was September, 1960. Now we were Seniors and it seemed that only yesterday we had entered Kindergarten. Here we were, running the school, or at least we thought we were. But being as nice as we are—there was no hazing under our reign. We started school and one week later we had our first vacation—one whole day for the fair. Even the dignified Seniors went on the merry-go-round and ate cotton candy and acted like six year olds. The rides seemed like nothing to some of our fellows who had too much cider. Booster Day was a big event. BARB ANDERER was our queen and BETSY ASH, GAIL CLIEFORD, MARY JO GADREAULT and EDIE WEST were her court. Not to forget GORDON UMBERGER who was their official chauffeur for the big event. To make things even nicer, our team won the game by a big margin. That night there was a VICTORY DANCE put on by our own cheerleaders which was one big ball. Next came Halloween! After the Seniors got tired of decorating the town and the underclassmen, we all decided to go to PAULA RUGGERI’S house, get rid of her sister’s party, and have one of our own. The party proved to be quite successful not mentioning a few mishaps here and there. From Halloween to Thanksgiving we studied and the football team practiced no end. The night before the game we had a rally which was held at our own G.H.S. Add another credit to the Senior Class! Credit should also go to the Student Council. A parade started at the lower end of Main Street and we eventually ended up at the school where the football team awaited us. Will we ever forget the locker room scene and LINDA RUGGERI’S inability to stand on her feet; or that beat¬ nik scene when a certain underclassman kept running across the stage? Let’s not forget the shaker party at MARCELLA’S house. Too bad no one got any shakers made. The next day we staggered up the Vets Field to see our boys win by a score of 30 to 8. That night we had a real VICTORY DANCE, and after the dance practically everyone went to a certain restaurant and had the fastest service ever. It only took one hour to get a glass of water! Following this long week-end we went back to the grind of study, study, study, and more study. Everyone was counting the days and his money until Christmas. We all returned to school decked out in our Christmas finery. Then came a month of cramming for mid-years. Although most of us were planning to start studying early, the week-end before exams was spent with our books. However, most of us survived the exams and celebrated by attending the Sadie Hawkins Dance. That was the night that many parents were flabbergasted when a girl rang the doorbell and asked if their son was ready to go to the dance. Many a girl had a long wait as some of our darlings took their sweet time getting ready, while others that were ready saw to it that they found something to do just to keep their dates waiting. You might think that we girls kept the fellows waiting! At this dance CARALEE COHEN and DON WILKINSON were king and queen for the MARCH of DIMES. Many of the girls made sure they left the dance after the res¬ taurants had closed so they wouldn’t have to buy tbeir dates a meal. Who said the girls weren’t thrifty? This year many of the girls in our class decided that maybe some of the fellows in our class weren’t so bad after all—and vice-versa. Many romances bloomed such as: SHEILA and MAC, BETSY and BOB, PAULA and STU, BARB and JIM, MARY and DICK, or is it BOB?, PAM and JUICE, TINY and DICK, LINDA and JIMMY, BABS and AL, CHRYS and JAN, MERRY and RUSTY, and JOANNE and GORDON. I wonder who’ll be going with who in twenty years or so? I’m sure we’ll all remember—when sby DONNA DUPREY left her shell and hooked one of Uncle Sam’s boys—when Mr. Taylor caught CLIFFORD DAY sleep¬ ing in class—when JAMES MILLER was elected best machinist—when MARY HERZIG and PAM SEVER¬ ANCE won the art contest—when ED HUTCHINSON was Mr. Baird’s favorite pupil—when RALPH MOGEL- INSKI stopped breathing in assembly—when DON WIL¬ KINSON was always bumping his head on the door frames—when CHET ZYWNA had his fun flirting with the girls in history—when DICK ROZAK never had his mind on chemistry—when PHIL DECATO and BOB FERRIS had grease fights in the auto shop—when MARY JAYNE ORR had her pony-tail cut—when ED STETSON and KEN STREETER used to smoke behind the press in the print shop—when LINDA BUCK wrote DKPR on everything she owned. And I’m sure we’ll always remember bow RUTH TOWNSEND couldn’t say “Hi” without giggling and how JOHN WESOLOW- SKI was the friendliest guy in school. And so our school years come to an end, and the class of ’61 goes on to do great things.
