Text from Pages 1 - 136 of the 1975 volume:

. $ n THE ANCHOR 1975 Manchester Jr. Sr. High School Manchester-by-the-Sea The Class of 1975 respectfully dedicates the 1975 Anchor to our principal. Sir Richard Howland, protector of our own Kingdom of Camelot, which is in reality, Manchester Junior-Senior High School, Manchester-by-the-sea. Principal Richard Howland joined forces with the Class of 1975 in September of 1969, when our class members were seventh graders. He directed and guided us with strength and understanding throughout our years in Manchester Junior-Senior High School. We, the members of the graduating class, are extremely grateful to Mr. Howland for Keeping it green ' and for caring.

CO-EDITORS AND TREASURER PHOTOGRAPHIC EDITOR AND ASST. Here it is! Seven dollars worth of pictures, copy, and ads. We hope you will enjoy the 75 Anchor, because we ' ve worked hard at it. The first thing you vvsll notice about this year ' s book, is that we have added 32 extra pages. Also, for the first time, a color spread has been added to the Senior Section. We are expanding our policy of equal representation to all of the classes. Through new sales techniques, we have increased subscriptions by 50%. Sit back and relax. The next hour will be pure Utopia. It has been an exciting year for Hornet-High, and the Anchor Staff alike. We hope to have conveyed the spirit that has dominated our school for the last four years — THE SPIRIT OF 75 ! SECRETARY SENIOR EDITOR ADVISOR The Anchor Staff The Administration 31 Dear Graduates, Robert Frost, American poet laureate and former teacher, once described education as, hanging around until you ' ve caught on. The Senior Class of 1975 has caught on and will now seek new fields to conquer. In retrospect, your enthusiastic interest and eager participation in extracurricular activities has effected notable improvement in all aspects of your academic life. As one invariably senses a shift in the wind ' s direction, so too have I felt the tides of student apathy and rebellion change to spirited concern. Each of you, undoubtedly, shares my extreme gratitude to the citizens of Manchester for the ultimate realization and opportunity to use the expanded and improved educational and athletic facilities at Manchester Junior-Senior High School. Presently, the combined efforts of students, parents, teachers and administrators are being expended to improve and increase the variety of curriculum programs for those who will follow you. In spite of the many frustrations expressed over the implementation of the special education law under Chapter 766, the immediate advantages, as well as countless benefits to be gained, will have a tremendous impact upon the quality of education for all students. 1 need no crystal ball to project a promising outlook for the future. Plans are already on the drawing board for a regional vocational school in this area. The recent strong vote of your parents and neighbors is evidence of their solid support. Equally bright on the horizon is the development of career education at the secondary level, in order to provide greater employment potential after graduation. In summation, much has been invested in your twelve years of school — guard it well. As Benjamin Franklin so appropriately penned, An investment in knowledge pays the best interest. Foster H. Ball Foster R Bal , Superintendent of Schools Herbert G. Schlegel The main emphasis of the Mathematics Department during the past few years has been in the expansion of the number and variety of courses and related activities. Students who wish to prepare for a career in the trades and similar fields can begin a 4-year program in grade 9. Throughout the program attention will be paid to remedial mathematics to mathematical skills pertinent to specific jobs and to surveys of the business world and other areas, occupational and avocational. For those planning to enter college, two levels of college preparatory mathematics are available, and these can be technically developed into three distinct preparations for college mathematics training, college training in two year school. The junior year Analysis Course has developed to the point where the investigations into Vector Analysis and Analysis Geometry are particularly strong. This course is followed by an Advanced Placement Calculus Course, closely tied to the P5SA Physics course. This was made possible with the introduction of a more General Physics course a few years ago. William E. Carrow Hazen C. Boyd Jr. George W. Vest The Math Dept. The Science Dept. Fourteen different high school level science courses were offered this year; ten by the full-time staff, Mrs. Coleman, Mr. Ryan, and Mr. Costello, and three more with the additional help of Mr. Tozier, Mr. Nalley, Mr. Schlegel and Dr. Pollock. No new courses were added, for it appears offerings meet the needs and interests of our students. Although only two years of science are required for graduation, over ninety percent of our high school students elected two semesters of science this year, many taking two courses sim ultaneously. About half the enrollment is in the biological division with many freshmen taking advantage of our new course selection rulings by electing first-year Biology. Upper- Classmen have shown continued interest in the more advanced courses such as Microbiology, Anatomy and Physiology, and Senior-Year Advanced Biology. The Earth-Ocean- Environmental Sciences rank second in popularity, followed by Chemistry and Physics. Our Physics enrollment this year is the highest ever. Suggestions for new courses are most welcome at any time and every effort will be made to accommodate the changing needs of the student body, subject to teacher availability, and budgetary allowances. Hardy C. Nalley Jr. David A. Ryan Constance L. Coleman Richard J. Costello Harry E. Tozier Dr. William Pollock 10 Since the present wonderful class of 1975 arrived here from the sixth grade, a total revamping of the Foreign Language program has taken place, and a new language laboratory has been added. A fifth year of French and all four years of Spanish have been added to our departmental course offerings. Mrs. Flanagan and Mrs. Steiner have arrived too, to make all this go well. Under the Expanded Curriculum Program, two years of German and two years of Latin have been initiated. And who has watched and encouraged all these developments? The present great senior class, of Course! That ' s who! Ellen H. Goll Virginia A. Flanagan Richard A. Ananian Joni A. Steiner We believe that reading is the most important learning tool in junior- senior high school. The primary objective of our developmental reading program is to provide all students with an opportunity to improve their reading skills. Edward J. Field Jr. Mary F. Gero The Language Dept. The Reading Dept. The English Dept. Timothy C. Averill James G. Kitendaugh For the English department at Manchester Junior-Senior High School, the 1970 ' s are years of change. The introduction of optional electives in the junior and senior years, the strengthening of the junior high school curriculum, and a re-examination of the objectives of grades nine and ten reflect this atmosphere of change. In spite of this strong drive for re-examination and revision, however, the objectives of the department remain substantially the same: to help students think, read, and write critically, and to provide an intelligent basis for future experiences with language and literature, regardless of the student ' s future aspirations. Herbert Hahn Robert G. Horvath Leo A. Fraser ' Anne V. Jerome Elizabeth Nelson i Ernest R. Shepard Jr. Frank R. Bergmann The Social Studies Department has developed a curriculum to keep pace with the times. Within the total curriculum are courses or units covering every major area of the world and each of the social science disciplines. Courses are structured to aid in the development of skills and information of the college-preparatory students at two levels. There are several courses offered for the needs of the general student also. In the coming school year, the Social Studies Department will join with other departments to present an interdisciplinary program in Occupational Competence for ninth graders. Richard G. Prouty Wendell L. Crosby Rose B. Bottger Charles Bachini Jr. The Social Studies Dept. The Business and Ind. Arts Dept. Industrial Arts like the class of 1975 is just beginning. We too are moving forward and hope to spread out over many areas. Many of you will pursue courses of instruction introduced to you through our overall program. We wish you well, and would appreciate any feedback for course improvement either now or in the future. Next year we start an occupational computer program that we hope will bring earlier and more informative selections for future educational or occupational pursuits. The Business Education Department at Manchester High School comprises those aspects of business that are of concern to students in order to prepare them to live and work in our business-oriented society. The course selections such as typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, office machines, and clerical procedures enable students not only to have employable and marketable skills, but these skills are valuable for personal use as well. ++ 1 ik ia y l iv a ft Paul B. Tarr Janice C. Kostopoulus William W. Burroughs William J. Carpenter Jr. Carleton P. Doane Philip N. Darby Karen K. Metcalf The new and spacious art room located in the new wing has brought many new Jr. and Sr. High students into the Art Program. As two classes may be taught simultaneously, students are constantly being exposed to a variety of Arts and Crafts throughout the day. Future plans in the Art Department will be to expand the curriculum into additional areas of Jewelry smithing and Photography. These two areas will provide our student body and community with a complete Art Program. Sarah P. Hodges Yvonne Trabucco Music in the Manchester Jr.-Sr. High School, in recent years has become an increasingly important part of school life. The performing groups, in particular, have been much in evidence at concerts, assemblies, and athletic events. Progress has been steady, and the music program hopefully will continue to grow to include more students, and to offer a wider selection of musical experiences. Beatrice F. Skinn The Fine and Domestic Arts Dept. Physical Education Dept. Mr. Hyland is very proud of the Physical Education Department. He is especially pleased with his instructors who display many talents with the variety of activities that are offered. This fall Miss Volchko and Miss Strazulla changed their schedules with Miss Strazulla spending five weeks with the High School and Miss Volchko going to Memorial School. This plan worked out very well and will be expanded with the other instructors. The Physical Education Program offers skills and techniques in field hockey, flag football, tennis, archery, soccer, weight lifting, gymnastics, basketball, floor hockey, volleyball, kickball, golf, badminton and softball and fencing to their classes. It is the hope of the instructors I that students become a w ' ell rounded person, and that the Physical Education Program is an t experience that they enjoy. Ira Yavner Forrest Milne III H.

Gilmore 17 The Clerical and Medical Dept. The Student Personnel Service Dept. Student Personnel Services are provided for all students with the purpose of helping each student get the most out of his school experience. These services include the areas of health, guidance, speech and special education. Through these services, Guidance tries to help each student achieve self direction and self realization through personal, educational and vocational counseling, individual and group testing, educational and career program planning and placement. The Student Personnel Services department extend their congratulations to the class of 1975 for their outstanding excellence in academic achievement, leadership and service to the school.

Mrs. Peterson Mr. Uttley An aesthetically pleasant atmosphere filled with fellow students engaged in a variety of learning activities, the soft carpet and beautiful walnut bookcases with easily accessible instructional materials, seeping from open instructional areas, the low murmer of students participating in classroom sessions, all this and more encompasses and strokes the senses of all who pass through the Library Resource Center. The dreams of a community to provide the best learning environment for its future citizens seems to generate from these pleasant surroundings. 19 The Media Center Personnel: Custodial and Kitchen Band row 1: C.

The Concert Band presented a Christmas Concert, and ended the school year with a Spring Concert. The Band also furnished a pit orchestra for the production of PAJAMA GAME, and participated in the Graduation Ceremony. The All-School Chorus has maintained its steady progress with the welcome addition of more boys. The Chorus performed in several concerts and furnished special music for graduation. The Stage Band is thriving in its second year and the members are developing a real mastery of the varied jazz and rock styles. Chorus Cross Country Skiing L to R: B. Dalton, S. Cook, B.

The Cross-Country Ski Club is in its first year here at Manchester High School. It has given its student members a chance to discover and enjoy the fast-growing sport of Nordic Skiing. After several introductory meetings the club took part in the Cross-Country Ski School sponosred by The Appalachian Mountain Club at Pinknam Notch, New Hampshire. Future plans include possible expa nsion into other outdoor activities, such as; backpacking, mountain climbing, and canoeing. 24 row 1: J. Noonan, L. Mitchell, W. Byker, N. Martz, M. Field, C.

In its third year of competition, the debate squad has become a team to be reckoned with. This year has been impressive in many respects. The size of the squad has grown from twenty-four to thirty-four debaters. A large part of the team ' s successes can be credited to these up and coming novices. This year ' s agenda included overnight varsity debates at Barrington, R.I., and U. Mass. On top of this rigorous schedule of Saturday debates allowed everyone the opportunity to participate. The year climaxed when Manchester sponsored its first tournament debate. Since then it has been all downhill, (ha ha!) A final note: Manchester ' s Debate Team is a strong, fine group of well-rounded debaters!! Debate Drama row 1: S. Lear, D. Goodwin, J. Noonan, A. Nahatis, M. Noonan, T. Doucette, C. Schlaijker, B.

The club has sponsored numerous field trips to theatrical events, and presented two major productions — PICNIC and THE PAJAMA GAME. The officers are: Teresa Doucette, President; Alex Nahatis, Vice-President; Carol Schlaikjer, Treasurer; Mary Noonan, Secretary; and our faculty advisor was the late James G. Kitendaugh; who will have died of a nervous breakdown by the time this is printed. We plan to end our year with a banquet, a “Thespian vs. Techa softball game and presentation of awards. row 1: N.

The ECC is a pilot program for New England, designed to engage the talents and enthusiasm of elementary school children in the national effort to conserve energy. The Manchester ECC worked with the Memorial School fourth, fifth, and sixth graders, to show them how to estimate winter heat losses in their homes, how much they are paying for wasted heat, how much it would cost to install storm windows and insulation, and how long it would take for savings in fuel to pay for the insulation and storm windows. row 1: D. Mitchell, 5. Wilkinson, R. Hopkins, row 2: A. Magoun, J. Brown, Mr. Ryan, T. Atwater. Our Math Club is one of thirty-nine throughout the state. Once a month the clubs separate into divisions, and meet for competition. The club is open to all in the tenth, eleventh, or twelfth grades. The purpose of the club is to develop and enhance appreciation and further student interest in mathematics. Math and E.C.C. Literary Magazine row 1: A. Kirby, A. Anderson, T. Winn, J. DiDinato, R.

With the dynamic leadership of President Mary Field this year, the Student Council has become a much more vital force in promoting a variety of school activities, and establishing the groundowkr for more to come. We can thank the Council for its work in initiating and continuing involvement in the snack bar, smoking area, Christmas Decorating Contest, Academic Awards Banquet, and the student bookstore, and we look forward to their successful implementation of the “Spring Fest and plans for opening the Media Center for evening use. 30 UroV o O o o m-TTl n rn Mw h iimihim u m The Class of 1 977 Richard Forsley Jason Brown and Lisa Nataloni Sharlene Fusco Amy French, Rusty Brown, Ricky O ' Brian and Sharlene Fusco ONE-ACT PLAY FESTIVAL May 18, 1974 Class of 1977 — Five For Bad Luck Class of 1976 — Kiss Me Quick — I ' m Double-Parked Class of 1975 — Fireman, Save My Child Class of 1974 — Episode In The Life Of An Author 32 Laurene Fusco and Ted De Mille Ted De Mille and Raoul Bernson John Kos Bill Bernson, Laurene Fusco, Tom Atwater, and Ted De Mille Bill Bernson The Class of 1976 The Class of 1975 Top Left: Doug Tataronis.

Textoris P. Brown T. Arntsen G. Cook Although the 1974 version of the Hornet Baseball team was comprised of veterans, the club was still in a developmental stage. Every regular ball player with the exception of one will return in 1975. Great advances beyond the level of play in 1973 were made in 1974. The team batting average was lifted 50 points, due in a large part to Chuck Atwater ' s league leading .579, and Bill Burgess ' .320 mark. From the middle of the season on, the team was in every ball game. Two very well played games against league champion Ipswich, and tournament-bound North Andover, were lost by two runs and one run, respectively. These were games in which the Hornets led for most of the early innings. The team capped the season with decisive victories over Rockport and Triton. With a completely experienced nine returning for 1975, Hornet baseball fans can look forward to a successful season, especially if the pitching improves. Jk n ■ o mz IS Baseball row 1: J. Geary, F.

Reading 4 7 76 JV Softball Golf The spring of 1974 welcomed another program to girls ' sports at Manchester High. With the support of Mr. Hyland, and the spirit and the enthusiasm of the girls, a tennis program was initiated for inter-scholastic competition. Immediately, the girls were successful. Coached by Mr. William Burtt, the girls roared through their first six matches, attaining a 6-0 record, and a commanding lead in the Cape Ann League. Their seventh match was a heartbreaker. They lost a close match to Pentucket, but finished the tennis season with five final victories, compiling a first season record with 11 wins — 1 loss. Along with this record, the girls were tied for first place with Pentucket in the C.A.L. The playoff was played June 10th, 1974, and it was a thriller. In the nemesis match, the Manchester girls proved their ability and talent over Pentucket and claimed their title as Girls ' Tennis Champions of the Cape Ann League. Tennis at Manchester reigned supreme in 1974, and the success of this first team is a sure indication of the success ahead for the girls in the future. Good luck to them. row 1: G. Donelan, P.

This record includes big wins over Martha ' s Vineyard, Nantucket, and an impressive 7-6 victory over archrival Georgetown. Head Coach Ira Yavner said It was a pleasant surprise for myself and my fellow coaches. We feel that a superior attitude and excellent senior tri-captains: Loren Coons, Matt Masiero and Chuck Atwater provided the necessary stimulus. What might have been a mediocre season turned out to be an exceptional one. Individually there were a number of standouts. Bill Bernson, tailback had a super-productive season, gaining over 1000 yards. His return next year is looked for with great anticipation. Senior Loren Coons excelled as a bruising blocking back, as well as gaining over 400 yards, and filling in capably at quarterback for the injured Gabe Bernson. Gabe had completed 33 out of 61 passes for a total of 395 yards before being injured against Tyngsboro in the sixth game of the season. This is great work for any quarterback, but for a sophomore quarterback it ' s outstanding. Much is expected of Gabe over the next two seasons. Manchester ' s super defense was rated to be one of the finest in the state. It allowed a more 7.8 points per game. This defense was led by senior tri-captain Matt Masiero, at middle linebacker. Matt was consistently superb accounting for a great many unassisted tackles, while assisting at many others. He will be sorely missed and difficult to replace. Sherman Burnham was a tower of strength at defensive end. Many is the quarterback who felt the wrath of Sherm ' s dogged pursuit. Mark Bachry, going both ways at end had a spectacular season and wound up the recipient of the Most Improved Player award by the coaches. Next year looks highly promising for football, and the departing senior members of the team deserve a pat on the back for putting Manchester football back on the map. On Friday evening, November 15, 1974, the finest Football Rally in the history of M.H.5. took place. The stands were full of screaming students and parents. To begin the evening, the Senior football players, changed roles with the cheerleaders; and in skirts and sweaters, performed two cheers with the same degree of excellence that they beat Georgetown the following day. The Cheerleaders in turn took to their football uniforms and ran the best sweep right Coach Yavner has seen in two years. All in all the evening was a great success and definitely psyched the squad and the fans for the Big Game the next afternoon. Football Rally Football Cheerleading row 1: M. Bullock, ]. Geary, K.

Chuck Filias and Chuck Atwater, Billy Burgess, Barry Curran, Scott Lucas, Dave Fitzgerald, and Rick Lloyd, Manchester ' s success can be attributed to the hard work done by many individuals on their own time in the off season.

In the last week of the season, victories over Triton and Ipswich created a possible Eastern Division Championship if a victory over Hamilton followed. However, an eight point loss to Hamilton ended all hopes. Overall it has been a very productive year for future teams. The 1974-75 Freshman Basketball Team ended its season with a 9-8 won-lost record in Cape Ann League competition. The spirited squad depended on its defensive aggressiveness and good shooting to overcome the height disadvantage it often faced. Two overtime losses, and a loss resulting from a successful last second desperation shot by the opposition, reflect the excitement of the year ' s competition. The hard working young gentlemen on the team possess a reservoir of talent for Manchester ' s basketball future and show the promise necessary for success. 93 Freshman Basketball Varsity Girls Basketball row 1: Co-Captains L.

This year ' s Girls ' Basketball Team has much to be proud of. Although their record was on the losing side, all they lacked was experience. It was a very young and spirited team. Each ballplayer had a fine attitude, desire and teamwork. The future looks very good for an up-coming winning season. This team received the CAPE ANN LEAGUE SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD, voted by all the players in the league. A great feat indeed! row 1: Co-Captains: P. Thorndike, P. Atwater, row 2: L. Nataloni, K.

Perhaps the high point of the season, was an upset victory over Southeast Regional High. Hard work and perseverance resulted in an altogether satisfying season. 2 - row 1: J. Rawlings, M. Dickman, K.

Combining good defense with a spirited offense, the seventh graders compiled a 13-4 record which was good enough for second place in the Cape Ann League, for Jr. high teams. Although they lacked height, the seventh graders out- hustled the other teams for easy baskets. When the other teams did go on offense they found it difficult to shoot against the fierce defense that we played. For the future . . . Only good things can happen! 126 row 1: R. Silva, J. Kurker, J.

The Eighth Grade Basketball Team compiled an improved record of 11 wins and 6 losses during the 1974 - 75 season. Pressure defense and a hard-working, disciplined offense were the key to the success of the team. Highlights of the season included a come-from-behind upset of Hamilton at their court, and a win against Ipswich also away after our boys had lost to Ipswich at home. With continued hard work, this year ' s eighth grade boys hold great promise for future seasons. row 1: A. Forsley, H. French, C. Brown, D. Forsley, K. Vuteck, C. Somerville, D. Hopkins, row 2: S.

You and I first came to Manchester Jr.-Sr. High School in September 1 969 We shared all the beginner ' s feelings — you as students, 1 as Principal: apprehension, anticipation, eagerness. As seventh graders our school membership was 456, and your class membership was 107. This year our school membership is 636 and we expect close to 107 of you will graduate this June, nearly double the 55 in 1970. But the quality and vitality, far more than size, are the hallmarks of your class. You have the largest number and percentage of Manchester Scholars, and National Honor Society members ever. You have the enviable record of two finalists and five commendations in National Merit Scholarship Competition. Your athletes stayed and provided needed leadership in sports. The cheerleaders from your class displayed a competency, vitality, and beauty that will be hard to match. You have one of six-state-wide winners in the prestigious ' ' Classmates Today — Neighbors Tomorrow program sponsored by the Jewish War Veterans of the U.S. Your contributions to our debate, drama, and music programs have been outstanding. I believe you will find this yearbook will reflect the excellence of this class. Still I have only cited a few of your individual and class accomplishments. Personally, your friendship, cooperation, spirit and leadership by example have meant much to me. So has the opportunity to get to know some of you through an American Literature class I taught last year. I believe some of you share my gusto for Gatsby! For the pleasure I have had in sharing the past six years with you, for all you have done for our school and town, for making us all more ALIVE, my sincere thanks. KEEP IT GREEN, Richard C. Howland Principal 128 12 1
