WESTON HIGH SCHOOL WSTOM HIGH SCHOOL WESrOKI MflSSflCHUSEnS 6 - Foreword THIRTEEN very short years ago the lamp of learning was first kindled for us. Through the years it has glowed with a steadily brighter flame and now, when the flame is strong and full, we must depart to seek a new source of oil for our lamps. The time has now come when we must pass the torch to the Juniors who, we hope, will keep it burn¬ ing brightly. As we now depart, we leave to those who follow us the eternal admonition “TIME FLIES i - ' i-.- •TV ' W ' •« • •; • A •N • • • 2 ?; ' 4i •••IC • A. ii- •. S ?■ .1 • .• fA ' ' •I •5 jr. XV ' t.

Prophecy The time: 12 noon, June 10, 1973. The place: New York City, 7th Ave. at 50th St., where two women, who evidently haven’t seen each other for a long time, have just met. “Why, Mary Cugini! What are you doing in New York?’’ “Liz Denton! You’re looking well. How’s your world?’’ “Oh, I’ve been happily married these many years. But you haven’t answered my question.’’ “Well, I have a job as secretary to Ron Darroch. You know. President Nixon’s campaign manager. Oh yes. I’ve just got the latest issue of ‘Time’. I think you would be interested, Liz. Here, I have it right with me.’’ “Yes, let’s see what’s going on. Well! ' James Whitney, U.S. representative in the UN and diplomat extraordinary, has dealt the forces of despotism another severe blow in the present heated debate.’ Jim always had leanings that way. Here’s something else: ‘Dave Hess, dy¬ namic young businessman, has been named president of Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey, thus becoming the youngest chief that the firm has ever had. Under him will be one of the most com¬ petent office staffs in business, headed by equally able Bob Nielsen, demon accountant, and Joan Bleasdale, the only 200-words-per-minute stenographer in the country.’ ’’ “That’s not all, Liz. Look. ‘Arthur Perry, owner and president of the Perry Fiberglas Bermuda Short Co. is pleased to announce a dividend of $310.83 on common stock.’ And, ‘Donald Stewart, owner of the nation’s only coast-to-coast chain of service stations, has just forged two new links covering Canada and Mexico.’ Let’s look at the theatrical scene.’’ “We shall certainly be well represented there. Listen, Mary. ‘West of the Moon, starring the theater’s most promising dramatic actress, Eliza Horsley, and produced by Eunice Ogilvie, daz¬ zled the critics on its opening night in Boston June 7th. Critics say that such a superlative play, v ritten as only Jean Loud can write, will take its place with the great dramas of all time.’ “And, Mary, last year Sally Hobbs won the Academy Award. I saw her play the title role in Yvonne. She was great. Even Jane Cooper, the movie critic, voted for her and you know how severe she is!’’ “Will wonders never cease! Carla Wilson was voted the best movie comedienne last year for her wonderful mimic singing. Which reminds me, Liz, I don’t want to miss Jean Marshall, Shirley MacDonald and Louise Reed on TV tonight. They’re the best comedy team I’ve ever seen. Here, read ‘Time’s’ sports page. We completely dominate it.’’ “Sports, sports — here we are. ‘Al Dean and Charlie Smith placed first and second in the German Grand Prix for the third straight time. Only Kevin Sullivan’s spectacular crash into the guard rail occurring while attempting to negotiate a hairpin at 150 mph prevented the team from making a clean sweep. No little of their success is due to ace mechanic John Cheever. “‘Bob Cronin stunned the track world recently by smashing the world’s mile record with a new mark of 3:48.6. Dave Linder has just signed a $100,000 contract to play fullback for the Chicago Bears, who think he will spur them on to another undefeated season. The Bears’ games this fall will be covered by Priscilla Mason who, even though a woman, is acclaimed as the na¬ tion’s best sportscaster.’ ’’ “Liz, have you heard about the new clinic that Pat Merrill, Jo Olson, and Carol Dunbar have opened down here?’’ “No, but I’m glad to hear it. They’ve really done medical wonders.” “Carla Frost and her husband bought the King Ranch last month.” “You’ve really been keeping up with our classmates, Mary.” “So has the world. Look, in this ‘Time’ under ‘Science’: ‘Einstein’s successor, Alan Phil¬ lips, and his able assistant. Lew Bigelow, have perfected a new process of trisecting angles so secret that the Government has ordered Chris Bayton to fit their factory with locks so burglar- proof that even he can’t pick them.’ And look, ‘The literary world is astounded by Liz Bigelow’s book of revolutionary social concepts. Titled Man Before The Apes, and published by Emma Young and Co., it is sure to give Siberia, penned by the versatile and witty John Connolly, stiff competition for the Pulitzer Prize.’ How time has passed! I really must go, Liz. Goodbye.” “Goodbye, Mary.” The two women separate as New York hums with noontime traffic. Overhead a huge sign stoutly extolls the virtues of Kent Hobby’s Hypersonic Hair Bleach. Elsewhere in New York, Madison Square Garden proudly proclaims that Paul Allen, world-famous evangelist, will speak there for four weeks, while John Pooler and his aggregation hold jam sessions at Jimmy Ryan’s on West 52d St. The newsstands display the latest issue of Vogue, with Jill Kibbe on the cover. Back in Weston, Terry Argento teaches kindergarten, Mary Jacques heads the English Depart¬ ment at Weston High, and Barbara Callahan has won the respect of nations for her heroic work in caring for refugees. Wouldn’t it be a dull world without Weston High and the Class of ’53? 25 Class Will O v l owi (K Q ( evou 5 , We the Class of ' 53, being of sound mind and body, do leave, at the end of our school days, a few momentos in commemoration of the best years of our lives to our teachers and fellow students.

Seventh Junior Our Junior Prom was both a social and a financial success. Indeed it was the first time in the history of Weston High school Junior Proms that a slight profit was realized. But to us the more important fact was that all who were present had a grand time. Ruby Newman ' s orchestra pro¬ vided the music. The decorations were highlighted by the Monster, the product of Lew Bigelow ' s mechani- Prom cal genius, aided by Chris Brayton. It was suspended from the center beam of the gym roof, and as it continously revolved, different colored lights re¬ flected over the gym. The crowning of the queen and the selection of her court gave the final thrill to an evening which we shall long remember as being one of the most perfect evenings of our school day s. ’ ' I ' ' ' V f - A 4 -. • m .x L . i Our Town Our Town, by Thorton Wilder, is a moving realistic story of life in a small town. It has brought tears to the eyes of many audiences, and Weston was no exception. We will not soon forget the sweet and innocent Emily played by Eliza Horsley, or Paul Allen as the quiet patient Stage Manager. Jean Loud, Pat Merrill, Kevin Sullivan, Sally Hobbs, Fred Shaw and Carlo Forbes also helped to make Our Town one of the most unforgetable performances in the history of Weston High School plays. Thanks and appreciation from the entire cast go to the stage hands and technicians under Mr. Teittinen; to Mr. Sawyer for his ticket man¬ agement; to the townspeople who so kindly loaned costumes for a cast of over thirty; to the assistant directors; and, most of all, to Mr. John W. Zorn, without whose guidance and steady hand Our Town would not have been the interesting success it was. ! ««« . .. tt . 1 4f ' ' - i” Student Council First Row; R. Darroch, R, Wilson, J. Lawlor, J.

The purposes of this organization are: to take care of student problems; to deal with matters of school spirit and good citizenship; to represent fairly the interests of all student groups; and to promote and foster the general welfare of the school as well as its good name and reputation. The Council ' s biggest and most important project has been the drawing up of a list of rules and regulations for the Student body to be enforced by the newly formed Student Council Court. Other activities sponsored by the Council were the Ship¬ wreck Dance and The Spook Dance, and also the sock-hops held after the home Friday night baske 42 First Row: K. Sullivan, C. Wilson, L.

Announcers Club During the past year the Announcers Club has expanded and now includes a number of younger high school pupils who have become members of the Club and who will carry out the job of morning broadcasts with enthusiasm. The Club has taken field trips to three of greater Boston ' s radio stations which proved to be most interesting and inform¬ ative and gave us some very good ideas about jobs in the fields of radio and television. We proudly bear our country ' s flag, i And bravely serve our nation. We faithfully defend the right, By deed and declaration. Along with our comrades true, I We work for truth and beauty. I And wave the Red Cross flag on high j Above the path of duty. I For universal peace we strive, With Love our way is lighted; For service to humanity The Juniors stand united.

This is the third year that the school has carried on the affiliation with Rombas. One of the highlights of the program was the sale of Weston-Rombas Christmas Cards which was stimulated by a contest to see who could sell the most cards; and money prizes were awarded. The cards were designed by Miss Emily Spencer of Weston and Miss Christine Lyons of Regis College. The money from the sale of these Christmas cards will be used in helping a French student from Rombas come to Weston. We also dramatized and discussed Macbeth, and sent the record of it to an English class in Rombas. It is hoped that we have sent something that will be of inte rest and also a help to our French Friends. U ■ . • First Row: N. Field, E. J. Connolly, D. Bassett, S. Harnish, W. Raleigh, T.

The first prize of $10 was won by Peter Rydell; Nancy Mailman and John Richard¬ son won second and third prizes. i Other activities this year have been speakers and a field trip. Mr. Fife has guided us as the club advisor. Discussion Club Thanks to good topics -- probably good refreshments too -- ! there have been more people around the Discussion Club table i in Miss Cobb ' s room. We are glad to say that there were as many Juniors as Seniors present. For the first three months the trend of topics leaned towards Ike vs. Adlai, and in the latter half of the year the discussions were on problems in the school. Should we say discussions? Perhaps debate, to put it mildly is the more appropriate word. However, we all agree it is fun, but it has also been stimulating ■ and we have been made to think more carefully about why we I believe the way we do. First Row: J. Gilman,]. Jones, J. Marshall, J.

Two boys took mathematics exhibits into the State Science Fair and won second awards. The Weston Team won first prize at the Mathema¬ tics Tournament held at Tufts College. Alan Phillips won the gold medal in the state-wide competitive ex¬ amination sponsored by the University of Massachus¬ etts . This year we held a joint meeting with the New¬ ton Club, made a field trip and exhibited our projects at the annual guest night. The entire Math Club ex¬ hibit was sent to Atlantic City in April.

Library Assistants The library Assistants make possible the many services which the school library offers. They have helped to catalog the growing number of books, put up displays in the show case and clipped articles of interest from newspapers and magazines and filed them so that they can be easily found. Each assistant gives one hours service to the school each week. The office assistants main duty is to collect the attendance slips and check them with the register. We also answer the phone, deliver messages, sort the mail and do some minor filing. Some of us have even had the honor of making a special announcement over the P. A. The office helper gains practical experienc e and at the same time renders a very real service to the school. FIRST ROW; E. De- Long, M. Jacques, J. Olson, Mrs. Knell, M. Cugini, P, Mason, T.

Office Assistants A year ago we were counting upon an entirely veteran team but in¬ juries and private schools intervened. The first few weeks failed to show much talent among our 25 candidates, manager included. When we opened against Johnson High, they proved to be as hard hit as we and soon we got rolling, winning 20-6. Cohasset didn ' t have enough to stop us and we picked up our second win in two starts, 33-13. Ashland loomed big and strong and beat us in the first half scoring 12 points. We came back in the second half but didn ' t have enough to put it over, losing 12-6. In the next three games against Franklin, Scituate and Westwood we were red hot and were not scored upon, while we scored 71 points. Then came our downfall. A big Chelmsford team came to town. They had a good day; we had a bad one and we lost l6-7. Coming down the homestretch we walked all over Medfield 33-0.with the second team playing most of the game. The last game against Wayland was a good one to wind up with, as we won easily 21-7. The team was up and everyone had a hand in the win. David Linder, our Co-captain, ran wild and scored 19 points. Good luck to next year ' s co-captains, Freddy Lyons and Danny Melone. FIRST ROW: H. Wag¬ er, A. Taylor,]. Pool¬ er, D. Linder, A. Perry, R. White, J. Alford, F. Lyons. SECOND ROW: Coach Proctor, E.

Our best game was with Wellesley, where Louise Reed and Carla Wilson scored the only two goals of the game, so that we won 2-0 The game with Concord was our only other defeat, the score being 1-0.- At the Concord Field Day we played Winchester and Canton. The game with Winchester started off with a goal scored by Weston in the first few minutes of play, but Winchester squeezed in a goal in the last minute and the game ended in a tie. The Canton game was a rally and end¬ ed without a score by either side. Kneeling: J. Loud, J. Lawlor, J. Marshall. First Row: C. Wilson, J. MacGillivray, N. Nichols, E. Sawyer, J. Blake, M.

Boys Basketball The team this year finished second in our league. We got off to a very shaky start, losing two of our first four games. After dropping a heart-breaker to St. Mary ' s of Waltham 44-43, we chalked up five straight wins including a good Westwood drubbing which avenged our loss to them last year. Just when the team seemed in high gear, it was slowed down considerably by a defeat at the hands of Norfolk in another squeaker, 48-46. However, the team once more took up its winning ways and walked over Medfield, Sudbury (twice), and Wayland. Then came the game that proved the team ' s undoing. Millis avenged an earlier defeat by thoroughly clubbing Weston, 63-55. Then our team beat Norfolk 61-40 and again won over Wayland, 54-49. Since we finished the season in a tie with Norfolk for first place, we had the playoff for the championship in the Wayland gym. After a hard game, Weston ended this 52-53 season on the short end of a 46-38 score. The team ' s over-all record was 14 wins and 5 losses. The second team had its usual successful year losing only once in twelve games. There are several players on this year ' s second team who are certain to excell on next year ' s varsity. Girls Basketball FIE T ROW; L. Reed, P. Mason, J, Marshall, C. Dunbar. SECOND ROW: S, MacDonald, S, Hobbs, J. Lawlor, Mrs. Tate. The girls had a very successful season with 8 victories and only 1 loss. Co-captained by Priscilla Mason and Louise Reed, the team got off to a bad start by losing to Wellesley 20-24. Then they trounced Concord 51-33. The second game with Wellesley was just as hard fought, but this time Weston came out on top with the score 21-19. The scores of the remaining games were: Cambridge 31-12, and 36-10; Waltham 27-19; Wayland 43-4; Watertown 32-24; and Sudbury 32-27. Although 6 of the first team will graduate, the second and third teams promise good material for next year. We offer our appreciation to our coach, Mrs. Tate, who has guided us through this successful season. We also wish to thank Miss Mastin, coach for the third team which amazed many with their ability.

Search yourself to find out what you really want to be, then shoot for it, no matter how high the mark.’’ Good luck to you all. Lawson Farms Cider Mill Concord Turnpike (Route 2) Lincoln, Mass.
