Text from Pages 1 - 200 of the 1961 volume:

I LYMAN HALL 3n JWemoriam SHEILA DOROTHY SERVER And Jesus said, 1 am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. JOHN 11:25 We have all felt an emptiness with the death of our classmate and friend, Sheila Server. It is with deepest sincerity that we remember her, for they are not dead who live in hearts they leave behind. 2 LYMAN HALL 3 DEDICATION MILDRED E. BOHANNAH In sincerest appreciation for your warm inrerest anti devoted service in our behalf, and for the exemplification of those qualities to which we aspire, we the class of 1961 dedicate our yearbook to Mrs. Mildred E. Bohannah, our class advisor and friend. 5 IN APPRECIATION We, the students of Lyman Hall, are fortunate to have teachers who are willing to devote their time and energy for the success of our endeavors. We hereby express our grateful appreciation to these four individuals for the unselfish assistance they have rendered us. Miss Ann Keenan We would like to express our deepest appreciation to you, Miss Keenan, for your dedicated service in the interests of our class. Throughout our high school experience, you have never hesitated to sacrifice personal convenience to aid your students. We are grateful for tasks to numerous to mention, for few have contributed so much to the class of 1961. Mr. Jordan Abeshouse We wish to express our gratitude to you, Mr. Abeshouse, for your continued work in the concern of our class. Those students who have contributed to the Year Book will long recall your friendly manner and valued advice. For this and other services we extend our appreciation. 6 Miss Stella Adams With greatest sincerity we wish to thank you, Miss Adams, for the many years you have devoted to the instruction of the students of Wallingford. We hold you in highest regard for your dedication to the teaching profession and for your thoughtfulness toward others. May your reward be continued happiness in the years to come. Miss Edna Wilcox Thank you, Miss Wilcox, for teaching us the art of gracious hospitality. The friendly welcome you give all students and visitors to our school is just one illustration of your kindness. Indeed, your willingness to serve will always remain with us. 7 MR. FERNALD On November 1, I960, the students of Lyman Hall assembled in a solemn and memorable tribute to Mr. Fernald, our retiring principal. No tribute could adequately honor thirty-four years of service but only provide a pause to recall a few highlights of that service. Many friends who knew Mr. Fernald as coach returned to honor him with humble words of praise or a humerous anecdote. Whether as teacher, coach, or administrator, a sincere interest in his students marks Mr. Fernald's work. Those students in the audience needed no one to remind them of Mr. Fernald’s fairness as principal. To a devoted servant of youth, the class of ’61 wishes to express its appreciation. CLASS OF 1961: Since the turn of the century, probably more technological and cultural developments have been made than in any period of similar length in history. These changes include automation, atomic fission, the population explosion and the awakening of nationalism in many areas of the world. In addition to these advances, another very significant factor is the rapidity of these changes, and there is every reason to believe that future changes will be even swifter and more sweeping. This is the challenge” to today’s student. The need for educated men and women is a crying one in every field today. It will be even more so tomorrow. The mere possession of factual information, although of value, is not the sole criteria of a truly educated person. The really important marks of identification are the development of the qualities of intellectual inquisitiveness, persistence in research, sensitivity to meanings, application of the scientific method of attack, the gaining of concepts from the relationships among facts and the clarification of values. These are the qualities which characterize a self-motivated learner, an individual who will go on learning after school hours beyond the school years for the rest of his life. Possession of these attributes by a student should guarantee his success in coping with the ever increasing complexities of modern society. Cordially, FRANK J. DONOVAN Superintendent of Schools CLASS OF 1961: Yours is the largest class ever to graduate from Lyman Hall High School. Whether or not you realize it, your high school has been more than a new building in which you have spent the past three years in various forms of academic pursuit. Lyman Hall is an institution in Wallingford which has left its imprint on this community for almost half a century. The concern of our citizens over the growth and effectiveness of your educational opportunities and the manifestations of parental support of your activities are eloquent evidence of the interest of people in your welfare. You are now at one of the decisive points in your life. Each of you must now project the path of your future, whatever it may be. From this time forth the course your life will follow will be governed by your own determination and abilities as they react to the social and economic pressures of your time. You have our heartfelt wishes for every success for the future. Now go and make your contribution to the world around you, be it near or far, reflecting your heritage and broadening the horizon of opportunity for future generations. Cordially, A. RAYMOND MAHAN Assistant Superintendent of Schools 9 ADMINISTRATION MR. GEORGE D. STEVENS, PRINCIPAL A well respected educator and sincere friend returned to Wallingford this year to be greeted with honors. For two years he served as principal of the American High School, Nurnberg, Germany, and later as director of the Army schools in Ethiopia. Knowledge and experience from his work abroad inspired his expression of appreciation for our school, town, and nation. Mr. Stevens is well known to the citizens of Wallingford and was recently designated as the man of the year.” As teacher and administrator his warm personality is admired by faculty and students alike, for vibrant enthusiasm and deep faith permeate every project he undertakes. In October the Board of Education selected Mr. Stevens to succeed Mr. Femald in the . highest administrative position of the school. With great pleasure we welcome Mr. George Stevens as the new principal of Lyman Hall. We are proud to be the first class to graduate under his leadership. PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE Yours is a class I shall always remember and hold dear to my heart for yours is the first graduating class under my principalship. As you depart from Lyman Hall High School, I sincerely hope that we have been able to help you build an educational foundation that will allow you to construct upon it a successful and happy lifetime. If you have worked diligently in high school, you have equipped yourself well for the complex adult world in which you will live. How you use this knowledge will determine to a large extent the type of adult world in which I hope you will all be active citizens. Yours is a world of com- plexity, an era such as mankind has never before realized. During this Twentieth Century, we have experienced changes once thought impossible and are on the brink of even greater changes, perhaps even a trip to the stars. Do your best to enjoy life at its fullest, and may you not live within a selfish self, but be dedicated to serving others and finding for all a richer experience. This is my message. This is my challenge to the Class of 1961. God bless you, and remember you are always welcome at Lyman Hall. GEORGE D.

CAFETERIA CANDIDS Maintainence of Lyman Hall’s facilities proves an arduous and exacting task. Falling into the hands of our capable corp of janitors and custodians, headed by Mr. Charles Marko, the school and grounds are well taken care of. Serving meals to hundreds of students is another task requiring specialized preparation. To perform this task Lyman Hall employs its cafeteria staff, headed by Mrs. Stacia Bilyak. 16 CUSTODIANS Left to right: Mr. Elmer Olson, Mr. Gordon Mrs. Beatrice Swabski, and Mr. Charles Marko. Garrett, Mrs. Stella Andreas, Mr. Charles Allen, 17 • • TO DISCOVER The first step of our education has been completed. Grammar school has prepared us for the advanced training we will now receive. We are eager to meet different people, to delve into subjects hitherto unknown to us, and to experience that special sense of belonging that comes from being a member of an organized body. Yet we are still a little hesitant and afraid. We are forging into the darkness. We are taking one more step in the path of life, and we have little or no idea of what lies before us. We arc as yet single individuals; we think in terms of I rather than we.” We have not yet become a unified body, a class. This is our goal. First, however, we must learn about our new environment. We must discover new areas of interest, discover new buildings and new classrooms, and discover new friends. Our high school success, mirror of life, will be determined by the way in which we face the challenge now being presented. SOPHOMORE CLASS Left to right: Victor Cordova, President; Roberta Andrews, Secretary; Gail Backes, Treasurer; Leroy Kearns, Vice-President. SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS The sophomore class, acting for the first time as a unified body, elects four of its most capable members to serve as officers. These students are given their first chance to exemplify the quality of leadership, so important to future success. Once chosen, these officials preside over class meetings, handle the money of the class, and record the minutes of each meeting. This year's sophomores have elected as leaders Victor Cordova, president; Leroy Kearns, vice-president; Roberta Andrews, secretary, and Gail Backes, treasurer.

Second row: Glenn Bland, Richard Olson, Robert Gustafson, Leroy Kearns, Calvin Robinson, Bruce Hartman, Paul Smith, Thomas Mansfield, John Semreau, Matthew Furman. SOPHOMORE REPRESENTATIVE COUNCIL The election of officers alone fails to unify the diversified elements of the class into a compact whole. To assist in this difficult task, sophomores elect representatives, much as we elect senators or congressmen. The elected students constitute the Sophomore Rep-20 resentative Council. It is the expressed job of the Council to act as interpreter between the officers and the class. They are given a chance to express their views concerning their class rings, dues, and act as a steering committee for the Sophomore Dance. Leaders of the future are given a chance to demonstrate their capabilities as they strive to mold the beginnings of unity and strength into the new class.

As society demands specialized skill, more and more students are continuing their education after graduation. Thus, in advising the student throughout his high school career, the Guidance Department fulfills a vital task. Personal interviews with students afford individual advice and constitute the foremost aspect of the Guidance program. Inaugurating this year’s program was a special auditorium assembly which featured college admission officers and industrial personnel officers. Visits by representatives of many colleges augmented a series of Guidance programs during which students attended sessions led by admission officers of colleges and industrial personnel. The diversified scope of Lyman Hall's Guidance Department aids the student in plans for his future. 34 LIBRARY The books contained on the shelves of the Lyman Hall library range from best-sellers to ancient philosophy. Abundant fiction shelves fire the imagination while ample non-fiction provides reference material. This year, due to the students’ challenge, the amount of advanced material available has been greatly increased. Notwithstanding its facilities, a library can be appreciated only as far as its students are capable of utilizing its resources. Therefore correct library usage is taught to every new Lyman Hall student, and regular classes in library technique are presented. To help Mrs. Virginia Dooley, the librarian, the 020 club, or Library Aides, have been organized. These students, in addition to relieving the librarians of much tedious labor, gain the valuable experience of cataloging, classifying and searching for information. 35 The one subject taken by all students at Lyman Hall, English, is so diversified that everyone may enroll in the course most suited to his individual needs. Honors, college preparatory, and general courses are offered; the student with his teacher decides the most appropriate program. Diverse as these areas may seem to be, they hold certain objectives in common. Since English is the official tongue of our country, speaking, reading, writing, and listening are stressed in all classes. As the problem of communication is so crucial in our lives today, students of English must be taught to understand both the word and its inherent meaning. Linguistic difficulties evident in international relations are mirrored on the lesser plane of school, factory, and home. Thus clarity of speech and writing are emphasized for their value in the field of communication. This teaching is universal since it may be utilized not only by the poet in his ivory tower, but also by a teenager on the telephone. Both are a part of everyday life. PUBLIC SPEAKING The ability to express oneself effectively is a need common to all occupations and is the fundamental concern of the Public Speaking course. The students participate in all forms of classroom oratory on diverse topics. Instruction on preparation, organization, and presentation is combined with actual experience to develop the confidence and poise of the students. DRAMATIC ARTS For those students interested in acting, the Dramatic Arts course affords an opportunity for both instruction and supervised experience. Classes provide a stimulating atmosphere for aspirant actors and actresses as well as a basis for constructive criticism in the art of drama. In a room especially designed for dramatic presentation, the students develop their acting talents. HISTORY To understand the forces which compel the world to act as it does, something must be known of the economic, political and social factors prevalent in each of its countries. As we read of Castro or hear talk of DeGaulle, we may wonder at the events which brought about these revolutions. The problems of today’s society have their roots deep in the past. One has only to look at the troubled backgrounds of either France or Cuba, and the inevitability of such an outcome is seen. All students take history in one form or another. United States History, taken in the junior year, is necessary to understand the development of our own country. Civics makes us aware of the workings of democracy, just as World History teaches us about other governments. Ancient History shows us the basis of present day civilization, and Philosophy provides the prevailing currents of thought. 38 FOREIGN LANGUAGES In exploring the world about us the contribution of our language department is quite significant. Here it is that we are oriented in the ways of our fellow humans foreign to our immediate concern. Latin, German, French, and Spanish culture are imparted through standard procedure as well as newly developed techniques, tape recordings, film strips, and the latest in illustrated text books. The most recent addition to the foreign language department at Lyman Hall is the German section. The .course is noted for the enthusiasm shown by members both in and outside of class. During the three year period alloted to the study of French at Lyman Hall, proficiency in reading, writing, and speaking is attained. As one of the languages important in today's world, and with increased emphasis on South America, the Spanish department holds an added attraction to prospective students. Latin comes to life during classes composed of college preparatory students desiring a fundamental background for future study. The increasing numbers of students who enroll in language courses at Lyman Hall represent an awareness of today's shrinking world. 39 MUSIC To instill an appreciation for various forms of music is a major goal of the Lyman Hall Music Department. Individual skill plus the harmonious functioning of the groups are developed through daily practice and public performances. 40 The Orchestra, two Girls' Glee Clubs, Mixed Choir, and Band provide a wide variety of music for many school occasions, reminding the student body, as Plato once said, Music is to the mind as air to the body. ART Working progressively throughout a four-year art program, the individual talents of the student are developed. The first two years provide a background, during which time he learns the principles of art and design and utilizes this knowledge to experiment with a variety of media. The third and fourth years constitute a more specialized program. Although lettering is taught to all students, each may concentrate on his own particular field of interest: commercial art, sculpturing, painting, fashion design, or crafts. Art Appreciation and Art Today are concerned with the history of art, the influence of various cultures, and the impact of all of these on present day art expression. The Art Department assists in the school programs, dance decorations, school posters, and sets for the class plays. MATHEMATICS Mastery of the fundamentals of mathematics is vital to everyone in this modern world. For college bound students it is an absolute neccessity, especially for those going into engineering. In the last few years the importance of enriched mathematical and science courses has been stressed. High schools across the nation have revised their offerings in these fields. At Lyman Hall High School a student may obtain a diverse background by taking subjects ranging from shop math, to commercial math, to an accelerated course, which includes some college work. Also, this year a course in calculus is offered to advanced students. Thus, a pupil may prepare himself for a position in the business world, a job in industry, or obtain the necessary skills for continuing his education at a university. The key to these three realms is mathematics, and it can be used to unlock many doors which open to new fields of knowledge. SCIENCE In biology, students study the life functions of plants and animals. After a course in biology, chemistry is usually taken. The structure of the elements and the chemical changes they undergo are investigated by chemistry students in the classroom and in the laboratory. The basic principles of physics broaden the students’ understanding of energy, matter, and the laws governing these phenomena. For students pursuing careers in science, a course in research science is offered. Instead of a formal class, students work on projects in a field of their choice. Also offered to seniors is a course in aeronautics and review science. Through the National Defense Education Act, the school has purchased books and equipment which help to better the students' knowledge of science. F building, well equipped with modern typewriters, adding machines, mimeograph and stencil machines, gives students extensive training in office procedure. These courses include typing, stenography and transcription, clerical practice, bookkeeping, commercial mathematics and commercial law. These fundamentals are imperative for a clearer understand- ing of today's complex society. From many of these classrooms come the future junior executives, secretaries, stenographers, and office managers of the coming decade. This ever-expanding department provides a basis conducive to success and achievement in this business world. Because our modern society has placed almost the complete burden of educating and training the homemakers of tomorrow on the high school, the Home Economics Department provides ample opportunity for students to learn the essentials of cooking, home planning, dressmaking, and child care. As the responsibility of providing a successful home life is shared equally by men and women, the homemaking courses are offered to both boys and girls. Since the home is the core of our society, the recognition of the importance of this department is justly given. INDUSTRIAL ARTS Industrial arts is an essential part of a student’s training. This subject teaches the practical rather than the theoretical aspects of industry. It also gives an insight into the requirements demanded by future jobs while providing valuable knowledge and indispensable skills. Mechanical Drawing is a definite asset to anyone on any job level, whether he be an engineer or a machine operator. Metal shop and woodworking develop the abilities of young men who one day will be a vital part of American industry. DRIVER EDUCATION The Driver Education course offered at Lyman Hall has proven to be a valuable contribution to the promotion of safe driving. It affords supervised on-the-road training as well as classroom instruction in the techniques of driving and operating the automobile. As important as technical training is the emphasis placed on courteous driving. The course itself provides technical information and formulates proper attitudes. PHYSICAL EDUCATION The school not only strives to develop mental dexterity, but also encourages the development of physical stamina Students learn sportsmanship through keen competition in gym classes and intramural programs. Interscholastic competition provides friendly rivalry engendering school spirit. Before a girl enters college, she has an opportunity to test her interest in the field of teaching physical education by assisting in gym classes during her study halls. Boys can excel in physical education by participating on varsity teams. First Aid gives the student a general knowledge of the care for common injuries. The value of this course is not only evident in our physical well-being, but also in the personal experiences acquired. In September, I960, a Regional Vocational Agriculture Center, the third in Connecticut, was opened at Lyman Hall High School. Students from Meriden, Cheshire, Guilford, and New Haven joined boys from Wallingford to study all phases of agriculture. A thriving greenhouse, a well-equipped shop, and modern, practical classrooms provide an excellent opportunity for future farmers to learn about dairying, livestock, horticulture, field crops, rural economics, farm management and accounting, and farm mechanics. With the Future Farmers of America program, students are trained in citizenship and responsibility. When the building was dedicated on March 19, 1961, the farmers” had well established themselves as part of Lyman Hall. The poinsettias at Christmas, the lilies at Easter, and the geraniums at Memorial Day were just one visible mark of the newest addition to Lyman Hall's ever continuing growth. 49 The first strangeness has passed, and gradually our new environment becomes familiar to us. We now realize that while struggling to become a group we must also strive to distinguish ourselves as individuals. We must endeavor to better ourselves through our academic pursuits, our qualities of leadership, or by the single special talent each one of us possesses. The building ceases to be regarded as something novel and exciting, but rather as a place to work, study, and talk with people. It assumes the guise of an office building where we come each day to absorb knowledge. We must not let the influence and security of the group completely overwhelm us. We must use the personality of the group to compliment rather than assimilate our own particular personality. We must let the group tell us more about ourselves. This is our principle aim; we must endeavor to discover in ourselves that intangible essence that makes us separate, an individual. STUDENT COUNCIL Fellow Students: We often associate the word education with the knowledge of the Pythagorean Theorem, Moby Dick, or the Magna Carta. This learning is of prime importance, but there is another phase which has an equal meaning for us once we leave Lyman Hall. This second process, our participation in extra-curricular activities, gives us unlimited opportunities to put into practice the theories of integrity, ideals, and character which we have learned in the classroom. Moreover, the benefits gained through our association with fellow students and adults in clubs and organizations have proven to be an education within itself, one that cannot be learned from a book or a teacher's lecture. No doubt, we will forget the authors, dates, and the equations; but we can not lose the intangible qualities of friendship, cooperation, and service which we developed as members of a group. I consider my participation in outside activities a formative effect on my future plans and my personality. In return, I hope that I have rendered some service to the people who have been my life for the last four years. Finally, 1 hope that each one of you will endeavor to be active members in school organizations. I can assure you that this extra effort is valuable and rewarding. Sincerely, malcolm McPherson Malcolm McPherson President of the Student Council STUDENT CQUNCIL OFFICERS From left to right: President, Malcolm McPherson; Recording Secretary, Linda Falcigno; Treasurer, Richard Dombroski; Corresponding Secretary, Nancy DiFranco; Vice President, Richard Ragone. 52 The center of student government, the Student Council, a representative body of Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors, is greatly diversified in both its membership and its activities. The student representatives, each having different interests, provide a centralized perspective of the school and its students. In this way, the Student Council can more easily discuss the school's problems and represent the students more efficiently. Because the Student Council exists in the interest of the Student Body, it has established many projects which aid the students socially with dances and assembly programs and administratively with traffic posts and student-faculty relations. The Student Council is lead by a President, a Vice President, a Secretary, Treasurer, and Corresponding Secretary. All of these officers do their best to guide the group and make it work more productively and efficiently. This year, there are thirty-five members, each representing the Student Council in separate home-rooms and getting the ideas and suggestions of their classmates which they bring back to the Council meetings. Through this organization, the idea of Democracy is kept alive and furthered in the school. Therefore, the Student Council is both educational and extremely helpful to anyone who is affiliated with Lyman Hall High School.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY OFFICERS Left to right: Andrea Kovacs, Secretary; Linda Twing, Vice- President; Richard Ragone, President; and Ellen Granucci, Treasurer. To bestow recognition on outstanding students, the Lyman Hall Chapter of the National Honor Society was established in 1955. Each year inductees are chosen, as seniors or juniors, on the basis of scholarship, leadership, character, and service. Scholarship, the ability to obtain knowledge and apply it constructively, is mandatory as all members must maintain an eighty-five average. The ability to lead through gentle suggestion is necessary for success in later life. Initiative and firm direction are the hallmarks of a true leader. Character, also, is important, for it is through character that a person is known. Lastly, service to the school is necessary, for in order to lead a person must be respected for his contributions and school spirit. During the past year it was the society’s self-appointed task to provide the student body with guidance. In November, a guidance program produced entirely by National Honor members was held in the auditorium to better acquaint the students with various jobs in business and industry. The rest of the year, with its many successes and its second colorful induction, found the Society proud of its contributions and active part in achieving the goals of the high school.

Editor-in-chief CHRISTINE KONTNICK Production Editor PETER BLUMENFELD Literary Editor MAURICE HODOS Business Manager Signer BEVERLY CANNAN, MICHAEL ROBINSON Co-Art-Editors The yearbook staff for the 1961 Signer is divided into four sections: literary, art, production and business. Usually working separately, they meet together once a month to compare progress and to discuss new proposals under the direction of the editor-in-chief, Linda Twing. Emphasis is placed upon a joint effort of all groups with the common goal, a larger and more interesting yearbook. Peter Blumenfeld heads the literary staff of eight seniors who compose and edit copy. Afterschool sessions as well as a regular class period, guided by Miss Keenan, are devoted to this purpose. Introductions for divider pages, paragraphs of description, sentences for explanation, and quotes for the senior section constitute the activities of this group. The eye-appeal of the Signer is contributed by the art staff. Under the co-editorship of Beverly Cannan and Michael Robinson, together with the experienced guidance of Mr. Abeshouse, the art staff labors to make the yearbook a candid expression of life at Lyman Hall. Color and design of the book as well as the arrangement of pictures are the responsibility of these people. Working as an intermediary between the literary and art staffs, the production section of the yearbook staff, headed by Christine Kontnick, endeavors to consolidate these two areas. Simultaneously with the first efforts required to begin the book, Miss Quint advises this group as they compile statistics, issue and collect forms, type, file, and finally gather all material to send to the printer. While these groups labor to produce our yearbook, the business staff, with the guidance of Miss Gracia seeks subscribers, enthusiastically sells advertisements to local businessmen, and directs the seniors in their drive for booster ads. Maurice Hodos directs these business campaigns and drives. In conclusion, it may be stated that the combined efforts of the four sections are all represented in the 1961 Signer.

The Lyman Hall club holds membership in the New England District of Key Clubs as well as in Key Club International. In April of I960, the Lyman Hall Key Club was named the most outstanding club in the New England District.

Under the direction of Mrs. Jennalie Harrod, the paper is published monthly and sold by subscription only. It has been introduced to the students with several objectives: to present accurate news to all those actively interested in the 60 school; to express student opinion and thought; to uphold school tradition and promote school spirit; and to demonstrate the best forms and highest ideals of journalism.

ALL-STATE One of the finest honors a high school student can receive is to be selected as a member of the All State band, orchestra, or chorus. This year Lyman Hall was well represented in the annual Hartford concert by thirteen students who achieved this honor. These students may now be classed among the most talented and conscientious young musicians in the state. First row, left to right: Celaine Wheeler, Jane Bemont, Abigail Caplan.

The Marching Band performs at all home games, presenting pre-game and half-time shows which add td the color and spirit of these occasions. The band also marches at the community Halloween Parade and in observance of Memorial Day. Concert Band activities for the year include appearances at the Mid-Winter Concert in February, the Pops’’ Concert sponsored by the Music Parents Association in April, and the Spring Concert in May. The Pops” Concert has, for a number of years, taken the form of an exchange concert with another high school; this year’s event involved a trip to New Jersey. In addition, the Concert Band participates in the annual State festival sponsored by the Connecticut Music Educators Association. For a period of more than twenty years, the Lyman Hall Bandsmen have received top ratings at these festivals and thus rank with the outstanding school bands of the country. •4 «R I First row, left to right: Gretchen Gustafson, Noma Gardner, Mary Jane Howe, Peggy Powers, Marilyn Porter, Karen Flis, Susan Dickinson.

On three occasions in the course of the year, the Christmas Pageant, the Mid-Winter Concert, and the Spring Concert, the choir performed before an appreciative audience. GIRLS’ CHORUS Since a large number of Senior High girls elected Girls’ Chorus this year, two choruses were organized in the Music Department. Directing the two groups is Mrs. Zola.

Among these are the Junior Class Play, the Christmas pageant, Mid-Winter concert, Senior Class Play, Spring Concert, Graduation Exercises — all held at Lyman Hall, and the annual Spring Music Festival at the University of Connecticut. In addition to developing the musical talents of individual members, the discipline of performing with a group makes participation in the musical activity a valuable experience toward the creation of a well-rounded personality.

Academic life would be dull indeed if it weren’t for a variety of clubs, dances, and plays. As a single individual, this enjoyment is impossible. It is not until the individual becomes assimilated into the group that he is able to enjoy the pleasures such association brings. It is neither the play nor the dance that breeds happiness. It is the act of association which makes the experience enjoyable. One must learn to cooperate with others for mutual benefit. Alone we may find pleasure, but it is while working in a group that we learn the true meaning of friendship. These friendships must be solidified and strengthened by contact with others. We have completed our lessons and have spent trying hours on our studies; we have been alone. Now we are ready to gather with our friends and enjoy ourselves. FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The Future Farmers of America is the national organization of, by and for the boys studying vocational agriculturc in public secondary schools under provisions of the National Vocational Educational Acts. The foundation upon which F.F.A. is built includes leadership, character development, sportsmanship, cooperation, service, thrift, scholarship, improved agriculture, organized recreation, citizenship, and patriotism.

The organization has toured various factories, has observed slides and movies, and has heard informative lectures, which have imparted helpful knowledge about industries which someday might employ these pupils. With such functions, the club is performing a commendable service to the school as well as to the nation.

Traditionally, the first social event for the tenth graders is held in the Spring. Sea Mist, with its decorations of fish nets, fish, and sea shells, was a prelude to the more formal dances of the coming years. JUNIOR PROM The graduation season is annually opened by the Junior Prom, the Juniors’ farewell to the Seniors. Despite the inevitable twinge of regret this last dance brings, the prevailing atmosphere is one of fun, flowers, and springtime, as the theme, Younger than Springtime would indicate. At this June gathering, the Juniors say good-bye to the Seniors in their own special way as they complete their final social obligation as underclassmen.

Each year Seniors strive to make their prom a success, creating an enchanted, fairy-like atmosphere. This year, under the direction of Linda Falcigno and Madeline Savo, the Seniors accomplished their goal. The theme of the Prom, Gateway to Heaven”, was developed by pearly gates, sparkling blue stars, cupids, misty clouds, and a crescent shaped throne for the queen. The Seniors chose Nancy DiFranco as Queen and Linda Falcigno and Priscilla Hax as attendants.

Therefore we must prepare ourselves to face the challenge presented to us. Now that time has come. We have endeavored to strengthen our minds and bodies with adequate resources to meet the future. We have been in high school for three years. During this time we have attempted to become mature, responsible individuals. We began our journey alone and afraid. Through our experiences and experiments our lonely, solitary existence has been changed to one of unity. Gradually the group, in this case the class, has become assimilated. For a while the group functions as a whole, happy and contented. The group, however, is only temporary. It is necessary for it to disperse as high school graduation becomes a reality. Each one must proceed alone toward an unknown. Our preparation has been completed. The entire world lies waiting for us. Whether or not we will succeed depends on what we have done and what we will do. The future remains intangible, and we must step into the darkness alone. CLASS Amid the commotion of returning to school came the Lyman Hall Sophomore class in the fall of 1958. Students from Robert Earley Junior High School joined those at Lyman Hall to form the class of 1961 of Lyman Hall High School. For all, the three years which were ahead would hold excitement, anxiety, triumphs, but most of all, memories. An athlete would learn to know the bitter pain of losing a game; a shy girl would discover the wonders of high school and become a mature, out-going person; a puzzled student would conquer the mystery of a subject and revel in his triumph. Each one of us would surrender part of our life to the next three years and in return garner the benefits of knowledge and maturity. With our minds full of questions and our bodies full of energy and spirit, we entered the newness of high school. After the first jittery weeks of accumulating books, meeting teachers, and making new friends, the Sophomore class acted as a unified body and elected their officers for the year. Ken Warzocha was elected president with Tom Sabin — vice-president, Mary O’Neil — secretary, and Nancy DiFranco — treasurer, to lead our class. Then some of our classmates joined the ranks of the Student Council. Representing us were A1 Aaronson, Lois Bentley, Nancy DiFranco, Barbara Fischer, Lynn Grasser, Malcolm McPherson, Richard Ragone, Tom Sabin, Ken Warzocha, and Pat CLASS HISTORIANS Linda Nearing and Maurice Hodos Watson. That fall our classmates enjoyed playing sports and cheering on the junior varsity level. Another privilege we enjoyed was attending our first formal dance, the Girls' League Prom held in December. After a trying week of mid-year exams, things returned to normal again. To some members of the Music Department, the new year brought further recognition. Several Sophomores were chosen from many contestants in the Annual All-State Contest in Hartford. Representing Lyman Hall in the All-State band, orchestra, and chorus were Malcolm McPherson and John Bender. With the approach of spring, we began to make preparations for our Sophomore Dance, an informal event held in April. As vice-president, Tom Sabin was appointed general chairman to supervise decorations, music, refreshments, and programs. Our theme, April Showers, was enlivened by gay umbrellas and a wishing well. Also that spring we participated in the Math-Science Fair. Each student taking chemistry, physics, biology, and various math courses was required to enter a project in the contest. After the judging, prizes went to Mike Blumenfeld, who with his brother Peter won grand prize, Virginia Young, Linda Twing, Christine Kontnick, and Michael Robinson. Thus our first year as high school students came to a busy end with final exams and hasty farewells. Returning to our now familiar building after a welcomed summer vacation, we, as Juniors and upperclassmen, began to establish a smooth-running class. At one of the first class meetings of the year we elected our officers. Our president was Andrew Mezzi. In addition, we elected Ken Warzocha as vice-president, Linda Falcigno as treasurer, and Nancy DiFranco as secretary. To the Student Council we sent our Junior representatives, Mary O'Neil, Linda Falcigno, Barbara Fisher, Nancy DiFranco, Andrew Mezzi, John Linaberry, Ken Warzocha, Tom Sabin, and Malcolm McPherson. Our Junior Representative Council was composed of a boy and girl elected from each homeroom. It was this committee that helped us decide upon our class colors, blue and white, and our class motto, Life is long, if it is full. 106 HISTORY In the late fall we elected a representative from each homeroom to help us select our class rings. Serving on this committee were John Rouse, Malcolm McPherson, Andy Mezzi, Chuck Vitali, Mel Horowitz, Ken Warzocha, Gary Gallucci, Linda Falcigno, Nancy DiFranco, Diane Nemeth, Margaret Kundolf, Pat Watson, Beverly Cannan, and Judy Ford. As a group we decided on standardized rings with a choice of color limited to blue or black. Some of our athletes played varsity sports in the fall and winter of their Junior year. John Centner started at tackle for the football team, and Mel Horowitz made the varsity squad in basketball. The girls did well, too. Three of our classmates, Gail Reig, Linda Falcigno, and Nancy DiFranco, were cheering with the varsity cheerleaders. Our minds turned to cultural development in November as we watched Andrea Kovacs, Malcolm McPherson, Pat Watson, Bob Hunter, Pam Hayes, and Arlene Sebastian do a splendid job in our Junior Class Play. General play chairman was Barbara Calza. After laboriously perfecting our Junior essays, we began to make plans for our tribute to the graduating seniors. The Junior Prom, with its theme of Younger Than Springtime , was a complete success, thanks to our chairman, Madeline Savo, and the committees working under her guidance. The year ended on a bittersweet note when we ushered for the seniors at the I960 graduation. Most of us realized that in exactly one year we too would be leaving our high school forever. But still we had the fierce desire to prove ourselves in our final year. The summer found many of us employed or enjoying leisurely vacations at the shore. Reluctantly we returned to Lyman Hall, but once we were reacquainted with the normal routine, we rushed into our work with determination. To lead us through our last year we elected Andy Mezzi as our president, A1 Aaronson as our vice-president, Priscilla Hax as secretary, and Nancy DiFranco as treasurer. For the third and final time, we sent our classmates to represent us in the Student Council. Those elected for the year were Maurice Hodos, Ken Warzocha, Richard Ragone, Malcolm McPherson, A1 Aaronson, Dick Dombrowski, Carol Swabski, Nancy DiFranco, Linda Falcigno, Priscilla Hax, Lois Bentley, and Lois Riccio. Almost every student looked forward to the excitement and climactic thrill of the Senior Prom. Held on November fifth, Gateway to Heaven” was a success, with laurels going to Madeline Savo and Linda Falcigno, who were the co-chairmen. The decorations, including a Pearly Gate and huge blue sears, were designed by decorations chairman, JoAnn Burbridge, and her committee. In addition to the I960 fall and winter activities, such as the Senior Prom, the Girls’ League Prom, football and basketball, seniors had their class pictures taken. Also experienced was the pressure of completing college applications and taking college board exams. Christmas vacation was gratefully welcomed, while the new year, bringing our last six months at Lyman Hall, loomed in the foreground. The first month of 1961 saw mid-term exams while February marked the end of a very successful basketball season. Captain Mel Horowitz compiled an outstanding scoring record during the season. The never-ceasing activities of the Seniors continued as we presented our class play in March. Among the cast of Blithe Spirit were Andrea Kovacs, Julian Vitali, Warren Appell, Pat Watson, Peggy Granucci, Mary O'Neil, and Linda Nearing. With the usual spring fever which all students experience, we felt the gaiety and release of warm weather. But as the solemnity of graduation approached, we reflected upon our accomplishments. Our last year had seen the return of a greatly improved monthly Compass, the rise of several promising athletes, and the pride in the unity of our class. The pace quickened as the end of school arrived. We received the Juniors' good-byes at the Junior Prom, said our own special farewells to each other at our class banquet, and made final preparations for graduation. On June twenty-third we were filled with the satisfaction of accomplishment as we walked to the stage to receive our diplomas. Enriched as our lives have been from the experience of high school, we now realize that our three years at Lyman Hall were but a prelude. Senior Class Officers President Andrew Mezzi Vice President Alan Aaronson Secretary Priscilla Hax Treasurer Nancy DiFranco Left To Right: Alan Aaronson, Priscilla Hax, Nancy DiFranco, Andrew Mezzi 108 Dear Classmates, At this sad but happy time one is engulfed by an overwhelming sense of cherished memories, close friendships, and a way of life that has been truly warm and wonderful. These years at Lyman Hall have been years of growth, satisfaction and accomplishment; but the years ahead are the decisive, the ultimate, and the challenging ones. Now the path of life diverges into two tributaries; one, the easy, the quick, and the least satisfying; the other, the hard, the vigorous, and the most rewarding. You must choose and choose wisely, for your life will be unmistakably molded by that ultimate choice. We can never actually leave Lyman Hall, for here we have left an integral part of ourselves that cannot be forgotten or destroyed by time. I hope that all of us hold Lyman Hall, its excellent teachers, its guiding administrators, and its admirable ideals in high esteem forever. If we do so, we shall never tarnish or reflect dishonor upon it. I am honored that I have been a part of it, as I know all my classmates share this thought with me. I humbly and gratefully thank the classmates and teacher who have made it so. If, after graduation, when difficulties and conflicting emotions confront you; and you are tempted to ask yourself, well, after all, what is life really worth, I say to you with all my heart, it is worth every last ounce of sweat, toil, effort, and courage you can muster. I shall leave you with this final thought, which I sincerely hope you may truthfully ponder and live by: know your ideals, pursue your ideals, exemplify your ideals, and live your ideals. May God watch over all of you, and may you never walk alone. As your true friend, I remain, 110 Sincerely yours, ANDREW MEZZI President, Senior Class.
