Class Histor As we gather here this morning, we realize how quickly the time has flown since we, as reticent and excited sophomores, first entered Holyoke High and became known as the class of 1964-. Let us now look back upon those three, short years and recall the many moments and events which made this time in our lives so memorable. Our first duty as a class was the election of offi- cers, who were: Michael O'Connor, President, ,Io- anne Dunleavy, Vice President, Robert Frost, Treas- urerg Nancy Bey, Secretary, and Robert Dowling, Marshal. Excitement and merriment prevailed at the tradi- tional Big Sister Party where we sophomore girls, dressed in our baby finery, became acquainted with our senior sisters. Later in tl1e fall, we witnessed a number of thrill- ing Saturday afternoons as we attended our first Holyoke High football games. During the Christmas season, while the Juniors and Seniors planned their prom, we held a number of dances and parties to keep up with the holiday spirit. The basketball season that year was highlighted by the cancellation of the Holyoke-Chicopee game. In March we were honored by a visit from Edward Ted', Kennedy, who spoke to the students and the faculty on world problems. Our swimming team, consisting of many of our sophomore boys, won for the first time in the history of Holyoke High, the Western Massachusetts and the State Swimming Championships, Also that year, the Drama Club presented the play Anastasia, in which a member of our class, Donna Dickinson, played the leading role. Finally vacation came, and we left Holyoke High, 48 looking forward to our junior year and the impres- sive title of uupperclassmenf' In November of 1962, Michael O'Connor was elected President, Joanne Dunleavy, Vice Presidentg Robert Frost, Treasurer, Nancy Bey, Secretary, and Edward Belisle, Marshal. The Holyoke High football team, after a predic- tion of a seventh place finish, went on to capture tl1e title of Co-Champions of Western Massachu- setts. That year, the Christmas holiday held a personal excitement for us, for we, as juniors, helped plan the Junior-Senior Prom, and, on the evening of De- cember 27th, we danced to the theme of Winter Fantasy in a beautifully decorated ballroom. The Winter Carnival, entitled February Thawf' was planned by the Student Council in an effort to create a feeling of fellowship throughout the school. The carnival turned out to be a fun-filled weekend enjoyed by the entire student body. The Holyoke High mermen once again brought fame to the school by capturing the second Pioneer Valley League Championship with a 12-0-0 record. In the spring of the year, the Holyoke High School Arts and Performance Guild, under the ex- pert guidance of Mr. Kinney, Mr. Walsh, and Mr. Falvey, presented the highly successful Broadway musical, Paint Your Wagonf, Due to the tremen- dous response of the public, the cast was compelled to give additional performances. Two members of our class, Donna Dickinson and Donald Grigware, were chosen to represent Holyoke High at Girls' and Boys' State respectively. Juniors given awards on Class Day included Stephen Stefanik, the DAR American History prize, Roger Menzel, awards for outstanding citizenship
