A school with vision cagerly builds today and tomorrow. Its purpose is to take a boy and build a man. prepared to rncct the challenge of a modern world. Winchendbnitjkhflblf til ttr eagerness and vision As the first class graduates which entered Wlinchcndon four years ago, our thought is turned both to the substance of the prcsent and the outline of our future growth. Ono phase of building looms on the horizon, our future plantg one phase has turned a cycle in its ncvcr ending work. The spirit of this building forcc, touching all aspects of XVinchen- don life, has given cach a meaning of its own. To grasp that meaning of foundations laid and to definc thc vision of future growth is thc task the 1965 Vfzvtigia has 8SSL111l0ll. 4 'iw today and tomorrow 'XJ -fo 5 SHI LN ' x sy xl - W 7 'V Qxyx ff- , ' ? 4 .ff KX x 65509 ' ' ,' .

To build sound minds is to unlock a world of thought and opportunity. To build strong bodies is to stress not merely the immediate goal of physical fitness but to develop even greater forces--f character and good sportsman- ship. To build school spirit is to encourage creativity in individuals and the group. ALGEBRA MADE ENJOYABI E by Mr Carpenter MR. YOUNG digests sports news.

The progress ol' our building can be mea- sured in two ways: a growing boy and a grow- ing school. A freshman comesfa boyfand leaves a man: a school expands and draws fresh strength from the growth it nurtures in the boy. l'Ve anticipate completion of the new school plant. hut the greater work can never Cease.

'ffvffe ea'z'catz'0n The Wlinchendon School exists because of its faith in boys. The essence of this faith is a steadfast conviction that every boy, adequately motivated, can, in the right atmosphere, at- tain his full potential as a man. A boy's devotion to his studies, his spirit on the athletic Held, his participation in extra- curricular activitiesm-each is a vital tool used in shaping his future. Each is a necessary in- gredient for the growth of the school, for the greatness of any school lies in its recognition and encouragement of those qualities which constitute individuality. In recognition of the unique contribution of each individual in the past and of our re- sponsibility both now and in the future, the Wlinchendon School dedicates the 1965 Vestigia to you, THE WINCHENDON BOY SENIOR studies capture the attention of Kim Williams. f mi FRESHMAN Hank Boenning fabovej bones up on an assignment as a junior, Tom Lederle, frightj takes time to survey the political scene. .X SOPHQBIORE.

Trustees, a group of individuals whose faith, confi- dence and vision serve as foundation stones for the fu- ture. Enthusiasm for and interest in YYinchendon - have inspired them to make plans for the develop- ment of a campus which will rank with the finest in the country. Proof of this confidence is seen in the fact that meetings held twice during the year were devoted almost exclusively to plans for the future building of dormitories and new fields, both immediate needs. l4 MR, WATERS VISITS with his son, Dave, Krightj as Messicurs Fenn, French and Hall Kbelowj enjoy after dinner coffee.

MARR stand before Ingleside with the newest members of the Winchendon family-Trib and Birt. The letters that I receive from our recent alumni-young men who are in college--clearly indicate how important the learning process is--a process which concerns itself not so much with books as it does with person. In your sophistication, you will tend to minimize or perhaps disregard the Hwarning signals sent out by means of these letters because he isn't talking about mef, These letters again are not merely polite replies to those of the headmaster-they are for the most part L'pearls which are passed on to you because of their genuine interest in and concern for every boy who comes out of the Winchendon School. Who you are and what use you make of your talentsg how much you have learned', as a person growing up and matur- ingg how great a part common sense plays in your thinkingg how much these characteristics influence your college experi- ence will determine pretty much the degree of success you will enjoy in it. Because of your academic achievement here and perhaps elsewhere, you are ready for the next step more demanding and more challenging than heretofore-demanding because of your known ability to handle greater quantities of material-chal- lenging because of the right of the Nteacheru to expect finer quality-challenging again because you are Hon your own. Thus you, as the person you have become and are, will be the one to plot the course which will make you. ??f6sSFljwe A FAMILY PORTRAIT is struck as Mr. and Mrs. Marr pose with THE INGLESIDE STUDY forms a backdrop their sons Bobby and Terry, both familiar faces at Winchendon. for the Headmaster and his wife.

I9 Individual instruction emphasized in the academic program The Winchendon School policy is unique in that it centers solely around the individual boy. The school is dedicated to the concept that a boy, given enough help and attention, will excel in all phases of school life. Small classes are mandatory in the Winchendon tradition, for here strengths and weaknesses can best be pointed out. The issu- ance of daily grades and nightly tutoring hours are all part of the constant building program which is vitally important to the school in its work of help- ing young men grow. INDIVIDUALIZED STUDY is essential to growth. Hn 12455 mf, SMALL CLASSES limited to 5 boys are an integral part of the academic policy. mmf. nw, , ,fA-,A W f A- 1 rgggfiymiaoimb-4iTyT.a2:3f.j9..i sim El , v pg if Q T355 fini Q il Mc7 MH: fi if 2 is awllwttsiwet 1 Q3 Q iw 'Q' H' 'Jill 'QI' Yu AERA 'Wu 'V is fe licoifi ni t A' sm all illff H BH 1 xi!

Under the direction of Mr.- Eriksen, the staff-which is the largest in the school-revised all courses in an attempt to correlate subject matter with that of other de- partments. The summer reading program has similarly been al- tered so that books assigned in the summer will either be included in basic texts during the year or will parallel the material to be discussed. Confident that these changes will prove both challeng- ing and beneficial to students, the department has added several new courses which are aimed at building better students both in the mechanics and literature of the verbal Field. Extra help is provided by Mrs. Zins for those boys who need specific training in vocabulary, reading rate and spelling. By the Fall of 1965, Mr. Eriksen hopes to have put the new system into full operation and to move forward in the task of preparing boys adequately for college English.

The study of foreign languages unlocks many worlds Consistency, precision and articulation-all these are demanded of a pupil studying a foreign language. Through language we learn to appreciate the world's diverse cultures and peoples. The Latin authors, interpreted by Mr. Matthews, make us aware of the debt which all Romance languages owe to this venerable tongue. The Spanish Department, headed by Mr. Johnson, emphasizes our close ties with the Spanish speaking world. The French have al- ways been innovatorsg the study of their lan- guage and literature continues to tantalize menis minds. 'L 'F ,ew Wg 'KDEAD LATIN seems alive in Mr. Matthew's class. DANIEL M.

FRENCH LITERATURE is a specialty with Mr. McGuirk. 27 SPANISH INFLUENCES are in evidence as Seiior Johnson sneaks in a quick mid-afternoon sie-sta. Creative teaching-a key to the romance of history There is nothing new under the sun. We need only to open history's covers to realize that we are not as original as we had previously imagined. We, as students of life, are the sum total of all who have preceded us. Vital people pass in reviewg we stop the more interesting characters, examine them closely, question them persistently. Each has some message for us. In an attempt to grasp and define this message, an enlarged Winchendon History Department in 1965 strove to inculcate in its students the ability to draw meaningful conclusions from the panorama of historical events.

The Mathematics Department, under the direction of Mr. Radcliffe, has undergone fundamental changes this year, Algebra I continues to stress the accuracy of equa- tions and a knowledge of the essential mathematical rules included in algebra. Algebra II reviews the Hrst year of algebra and introduces the pupil both to trigonom- etry and coordinate geometry. Juniors are introduced not only to plane geometry but are given the fundamentals of solid ge- ometry. Math IV covers plane trigonometry in conjunction with solid geometry while at the same time familiarizing pupils with Htrigw and calculus. , MARGARET SHORTLIDGE Mathematics B.A. fBryn Mawrjg M.A. fSmithl. 30 DONALD L.

Aside from general science, courses in physics, biology, and chemistry are included, thereby giving a wide range to all students. This year the Science Department has re- ceived new, important pieces of equipment, en- abling the physics and general science classes to delve more deeply into the realm of electronics. New laboratory equipment has also been provided for biology classes. As a result of hard work, science projects were placed on display in the latter part of the year.

Although the novelty of boarding school life remained ever with them, they plunged vigorously into all the activities offered at Wlinchendon. De- termined to capture every moment, to let no new experience pass them by, the Freshman Class laid the foundations for its academic, social and athletic growth by participating in all varsity sports, contributing to all campus organizations and ranking steadily in the up- per echelons of the scholastic register. The ac- quisition of such fundamental tools will prove indispensable to future progress during the Winchendon years.

The exuberance of an underclassman is pastg the accomplishment of a senior is yet to come. Such is the contradictory state in which Win chendon's largest class-41 strongffound themselves in 1965. Practical experience, how- ever, is a teacher par excellence. The training of new Vextigia and Progress editors, the se- lection of 1966 team captains, the development of a sense of responsibility needed for school leadership-in fact, each phase of campus life led the class of 1966 one step further in its challenging journey from boyishness to man- hood.

At Winchendon, Parents' Weekend is al- ways an eagerly anticipated event. On October 17, 1964, parents and relatives converged upon VVinchendon from all parts of the country. The two day event afforded parents an opportunity to discuss their sons' academic progress with the respective teachers. In spite of a persist- ent rainfall Saturday morning, all gathered at Clark Memorial to watch the Green Team play Mount Hermon. A book fair, held in the li- brary throughout the day, gave parents an op- portunity to contribute to the growing library or to make some purchases for themselves. An opportunity was also provided for everyone to view varied displays prepared by school clubs. As a climax to the day's activities, a ban- quet was held in the school dining room after which parents enjoyed the hospitality of the Marrs at Ingleside. if at , 4 5, go AND A GIFT to the library by the Bartels4fam111ar scenes on Parents' Weekend. ,Al CAPTAIN DONNELLY leads the school in cheering.

School spirit is unquestionably a necessary ingredient for any successful school year. Win- cher1don's students have always manifested this spirit in many ways. Yet it was the cheerleaders who, time and time again, rallied the student body when their team was on the defensive. Their resounding cheers, echoed by the entire school, repeatedly urged Winchendon on to vic- tory. Under the direction of captain John Don- nelly, this yearis cheerleaders conscientiously practiced traditional Winchendon School cheers and added several new cheers to their repertoire. The cheerleaders' enthusiasm, un- bounded energy and pride in Winchendon created a bond of unity among all students. 65 New Glee Club repertoire sparks stimulating recitals A NEGRO SPIRITUAL is presented by the Glee Clubbers during their winter performance. Under the direction of Mr. Leo O,Neill, the twenty-one members of the Glee Club, now in its second year, increased their varied reper- toire to twenty numbers. Composed entirely of baritones and second tenors, the club at First found it difhcult to find musical arrangements for two voices. Mr, O'Neill, however, success- fully adapted one of the Waring Workshop series, arranged by Harry Simone. In addition to the regular Monday and Thursday evening practices, joint rehearsals were held after church services on Sunday.

Varsity Squad Faces Difficult Opposition but Rallies Its Forces BEARCE CARTER f21J gains yardage against Andover. The 1964 Winchendon Varsity Football Team started their season with a win over Deerfield Academy J.V. team at Clark Memorial on Oc- tober IO. The game was off to a quick start in the first period when quarterback Fran Skwira swept the end for twelve yards and the first touchdown of the season. Skwira came back and made the conversion, making the score 7-O, YVinchendon's favor. The second quarter proved better for the Deerfield team when their end, in a passing situation, caught the ball in the end zone. Deerfield failed to make the extra points and the score at halftime was 7-6. The third period was scoreless and Winchendon showed definite signs of tiring, but in the fourth quarter the Green and Wliite bounced back, and with two minutes left in the game, Bob Bergmann broke through the middle for the second Win- chendon touchdown. The final score was Win- chendon 13, Deerheld 6. Winchendonis second straight win came on October 14, against the Mount Hermon J.V. team. Throughout the rain-soaked first half, Winchendon displayed a rather weaker team than it had at Deerfield on the previous Satur- day-in spite of Fran Skwira's touchdown pass to Hart Pierce. In the second half Fran Skwira, with much poise and ability, plunged twice through the center for two successive touch- downs. The now high spirited Winchendon Var- sity held Mt. Hermon to a minimum, the Hnal outcome was 24-14-a Winchendon victory. The schoolis next game proved disastrous, for on October 24, the Green and White wave was defeated by a strong Andover J.V. team at An- dover, Mass. Through lack of unity, the Var- sity permitted two Andover touchdowns in the Hrst half. But, in retaliation, Fran Skwira passed twenty yards to Hart Pierce in the end zone for the first Winchendon touchdown, he then ran around his end in a long run resulting in another touchdown for Winchendon. The first encounter failed to gain extra points for Winchendon, however, in the second attempt, Winchendon was awarded these points. The score at the half was 16-14, Andover's favor. At the beginning of the third quarter Winchen- don gained its first lead when Dick Meistrell broke through the line and ran eighty yards for a touchdown. The score was now 22-16. An- dover men began to move forward and scored AN END RUN by Bob Bergmann C321 is thwarted. both in the third and fourth quarter-the final score was Andover 32, Wlinchendon 22. The second loss for the Wlinchendon Varsity occured at a home game on October 31 against St. Paul's Varsity. Throughout most of the game Winchendon had difficulty controlling the ball. The third quarter, however, provided excite- ment when Captain Fran Skwira threw a thir- ty yard pass to Hart Pierce who scored for Win- chendon. In desperation, for time was running out, Fran Skwira, in the fourth quarter, ran an end sweep thereby scoring the last Winchendon touchdown. The final score was 30-12, St. Paul's being triumphant. Dropping their third game in a row, the Win- chendon School Varsity Football Team was de- feated by Lawrence Academy in a hard-fought match on November 7 at Groton, Mass. The only score in the Hrst half for Wfinchendon came in the first quarter when Jim Hickey scored on a four yard sweep around the end.

In the beginning of the third quarter, Fran Skwira made a seven- teen yard run around the end to score for Win- chendon with a pass to Hart Pierce who scored his conversion. But then Lawrence scored three touchdowns in a rowg defensively Winchendon just could not seem to get organized. The last touchdown for the Green and White came on a pass from Skwira to Jack Jesser. In spite of this attempt, Lawrence won 34-22. Saturday, November 14, saw the Winchendon Varsity lose their fourth game in a row. The laurels went to the Varsity from Rivers Coun- try Day School. Rivers made the first touch- down on a forty-eight yard run in the first quar- ter. Winchendon promptly bounced back with a twenty-eight yard pass from Fran Skwira to Bob Bergmann. In the second period Rivers passed for another touchdown, and at the half, the score was 16--6. In' the beginning of the Winchendon vs Deerfield J.V. 13- 6 Mt.

ANOTHER PASS succeeds as Winchendon's captain Fran Skwira C151 is aided by Bob Bergmann's f32j block. 82 and hard work In building a successful season third quarter Rivers scored again on a fifty-eight yard run. This score broke the back of the Win- chendon defense and allowed Rivers to score once more. Desperately Skwira then threw to Hart Pierce who dashed fifteen yards for a touchdown. Jack ,lesser made the conversion and the final score was Rivers 28, Winchendon 14. Striving for victory in its last game, Winchen- don exhibited both strong defensive work and tremendous spirit when confronted by Monson Academy. Scoring began early in the first quar- ter when quarterback Fran Skwira caught a swing pass from halfback Dave Pierson and darted forty-five yards to score. The conversion failed, but seconds later on the kickoff, Ande Dorman tackled a Monson man for a safety. In the second quarter Bearce Carter broke twenty five yards up the middle to make the second touchdown. At halftime the score was 16-0. Three more touchdowns were realized in the second half. The first two were end sweeps by Skwira and Bergmann. Bob Bergmann dashed a spectacular sixty yards for the final Winchen- don touchdown of the day, thus making the Monson game the third victory for the varsity- 38--O. This year's football season did prove worthwhile for Winchendon. Uncowed by all obstacles encountered, the team relentlessly pur- sued victory. The school gratefuly acknowledges Coach Markham's untiring efforts on behalf of the team.

Here again, defense was the key, and Winchendon squeaked by, 6-O. The tearn's first loss came when they were defeated in a close game by the Lawrence J.V.'s, 8-6. Fac- ing their final opponent of the year, the Win- chendon J.V. squad lost to a strong Mount Her- mon team, 12-6, in a game played at Mt. Hermon on November 18. All touchdowns by both teams were made in the first period with the remainder of the game seeing strong defensive play by both teams. Notwithstanding these two losses, the J.V.

Harry Morton placed first with Esh Lunken- long one of Winchendonis strongest runners- and Gardner Kellogg taking second and third places respectively. The Winchendon Harriers' first home meet proved most successful with Esh Lunken, Harry Morton and Gardner Kel- logg capturing the top three positions.

' On January 13, the Winchendon School Varsity Swimming Team won its opening meet against the Worcester Academy J.V. team, 58439, at Clark Memorial. High points of the meet occurred when Dick Tilghman took the 100 yard butterfly and Captain Rick Ryan scored a first in the 100 yard freestyle. After three defeats in a row, once by Mount Hermon and twice by Fitchburg High School, Winchendon bounced back triumphantly against the Williston Academy J.V. squad, 59-19. Dick Meistrell handily won the 50 yard freestyle with Rick Ryan coming in second, and Dick Tilgh- man took Hrst place in the 200 yard individual medley. In spite of the next loss to Leominster, Winchendon defeated Kimball Union, 55f39, at 90 for Varsity Swimming Team a home meet on February 20. Again Dick Meistrell, Rick Ryan and Dick Tilghman led the field in events including the 100 yard freestyle, 100 yard butterfly and the 200 yard medley relay. The closest meet the swimming team experienced all year came when Winchendon faced the Deerfield Academy Thirds at Clark Memorial on February 24. Al- though a new school record was set in the 200 yard freestyle by Dick Tilghman at 2:15.5, Deer- field won the meet by a one point margin, 48-47. At the next meet, held on March 3, Winchendon was defeated by Wilbraham Academy. In spite of firsts by Huber Hanes and Captain Rick Ryan, who won the 50 yard freestyle, Wilbraham took the meet, 55-43. CRAIG KERR pulls hard in the 400 yard freestyle.

Cushing dominated both the ball and the scoring throughout most the game. It was a rare moment when Winchendon was out in front but the team fought tirelessly. Dave Pierson and Fran Skwira led the winning drive and the game was pulled out in the last few seconds to give Wlinchendon the win, 48-47.

It was obvious that the Winchendon team had benefited from the mistakes made in its first game and corrected them. Fran Skwira led the scoring with 19 points, followed by Henry French with 16 points. Continuing their winning streak, the Green and White Varsity impressively displayed skill, spirit and coherence in their next game, an encounter with the Deerfield J.V. The Score was 57-48, Winchendon's favor. Winchendon's first loss came when the varsity met Assumption Prep at Clark Memorial. Assumption was an unusually strong team and displayed varied skills in all phases of the sport. Although the Win- chendon Varsity worked feverishly, the game was lost, 63-42. Because of unforseen circum- stances, the Winchendon Varsity lost their fifth game to Stockbridge School on February 3. With three of the starting players recuperating from illness and unable to play, Winchendon was seriously weakened, and at the final buzzer the score was 83-41.

Winchendon's third loss of the season came when the Worcester Academy J.V. team de- feated them, 55f-46, in a hard-fought game at Worcester. In spite of the good defensive work of Henry French and Sandy Axton, the Worcester team out-scored Winchendon in every quarter. For Winchendon, high scorers were Dave Pierson and Fran Skwira, each with 11 points, followed by Henry French with 10 points. On Feb. 15, Coach Young's Varsity avenged Winchendon's previous loss by defeating Law- rence Academy in a game played at Clark Memorial. The game was off to a fast start as 16 points were scored in the first quarter, Winchendon then scored 21 points in the sec- ond quarter. The score at half time was 3744 25, Winchendon 'in the lead. Scoring by Henry French and Tom Budelman sparked the sec- ond half, and the Hnal score showed Winchen- don the victor. Henry French was high scorer with 18 points. On Feb. 17, the team traveled to Amherst, Mass. to play the Stockbridge Varsity team. Winchendon, in a longer regulated game, emerged triumphant, 82-73. The Green Team scored its highest first quarter point total of the season, gaining 24 points as opposed to 16 points for Stockbridge. At halftime, the score was 34-17, with Winchendon ahead. Off to a quick start in the third quarter, Winchendon boosted its total to 60 points against Stock- bridge's 48. In the fourth quarter, Stockbridge fought with determination, but Winchendon 94 managed to remain ahead and win 82-73. High scorers for Winchendon were Fran Skwira and Henry French, each with 21 points, fol- lowed by Dave Pierson with 20 points. Winchendon's third win in a row came when the team defeated a spirited Kimball Union Academy team on Feb. 20, 1965. The score at halftime was 30-25, VVinchendon holding the edge. In the third quarter, Winchendon im- proved markedly, the score now read 44f29- Winchendon. Freezing the ball was effectively employed in the fourth quarter and Win- chendon triumphed, 50f41. V The Cushing Academy J.V. Basketball team next encountered Winchendon's Varsity on Feb, 24. Winchendon kept a fast pace through- out the first half as its defense allowed Cushing to score only 20 points during the first two periods. In the second half Winchendon in- creased its defensive pressure and, at the same time, maintained its lead at the end of the third period, 44f35.

Tom Budelman and Hart Pierce had 15 points each, while Henry French and Dave Pierson earned 10 points each. On Saturday, Feb. 27, the team set a new school record with its fifth victory in a row. Wincliendon's opponent, Rivers Country Day School, proved to be a very well organized team, and, in the first quarter, both teams adeptly tossed in baskets. In the third quarter, I'Vinchendon scored 25 points while Rivers eked out a mere 8 points. In the fourth quarter, Coach Young substituted the second string which managed to increase Wlinchendonls lead. John Donnelly scored in the fourth quarter with 11 points, followed by Barry Zins with 6 and Ande Dorman with 4. Tasting defeat for the first time in many weeks, Winchendon's Varsity Basketball Team was defeated the following week by Wilbrahani Academy in a close game, 48g40. The game was played on Wlilbrahamfs court on Wednes- day, March 3, and throughout the entire game, the Green defense moved slowly, allow- ing YVilbraham to outscore Wlinchendon 11 to 8 in the first period. At the half Wlilbraham led 28f2l. In the third period, in spite of the consistent rebounding help from Henry French and Tom Budelman. Wlinchendon advanced by only 5 points while Wlilbraham scored 10, widening its lead to 31- --23. W'inchendon be- gan moving in the fourth quarter and, basket for basket, proved to be better than Wilbra- ham. Wilbrahani, however, was not to be defeated and handily won the game by a sub- stantial margin, 68f40. High scorers for Wlinchendon were co-captains Fran Skwira and Dave Pierson with 17 and 10 points re- spectively. The last game of the 1965 basketball sea- son was a second encounter with Lawrence Academy, on March 6 in Groton, Mass. The entire game represented masterful playing on the part of both teams. just before the half- time buzzer, Lawrence dropped in two points --these two points would later prove fatal for Winchendon. In spite of a shrewdly played game, Winchendon capitulated in the re- maining two seconds and the laurels were awarded to Lawrence Academy, 54-53. OPPONENT fails to halt Tom Budelman Q20J.

Their third and fourth losses came in a second encounter with Cushing and the freshmen of Gardner High, the scores were 42-26 and 42-32 re- spectively. After repeated losses, Wfinchendon nevertheless refused to concede defeat and the Green Team won its First game of the season by overcoming the Deerfield Academy Thirds, 48-29. The J.V.'s evidenced strength in both their defensive and offensive play, Bob Reilly was high scorer with 13 points. In spite of losing the next three games!-'two losses to Mt. Hermon and one loss to Lawrence-the Win- chendon team again rallied to defeat the Deer- Held Thirds, 38-22. Terry Brown led the scoring with Bill Levitz and Mike Pierson spearheading the defense. On Feb. 20, Win- chendon fell victim to Kimball Union, this defeat was followed by a loss to Wilbraham. In the final game, played on March 6, Law- rence Academy again conquered, 62-28. Speed and agility-basic requirements THE GIANT SLALOM is completed by Ray Clark in record time. A TIGHT TURN is taken by Rip Rose in the downhill. Opening its season against Cushing, the Varsity skiers were assured victory by the fine skiing of Rip Rose, Gardner Kellogg, Bearce Carter and the Hrst place slalom win of Jack Jesser. The following week at Lawrence, Jim Hickey took Hrst place in slalom with Jack Jesser winning the giant slalom. At Vermont, the team continued its creditable performance with Jim Hickey and Gardner Kellogg excel- ling in the giant slalom and slalom respective- ly. A poor showing in downhill at the Cushing Carnival February 6 was offset by a first place in slalom led by Jack Jesser, Rip Rose and Bearce Carter. Unable to recoup its losses, how- ever, the team placed second in the Carnival, but snapped back in its last two meets to con- quer K.U.A. and Wilbraham. for winning ski season Winchendon Cushing 199.65-181.41 Lawrence 198.3 -192.7 Vermont 198.8 -188.9 Cushing 190.2 -193.1 Lawrence 188.0 S K.U.A. 9576- 95.45 Wilbraham 100.00- 82.03 f A CLOSE RECOVERY is made by Jim Hickey at Cushing.

Ski Team had only two meets, it defeated both of its opponents sound- ly. In the first encounter against Cushing, Dan Benson won the slalom and Rob Hinrichs, the giant slalom. Both wins were backed by the strong skiing of Rich Hendrickson, Kim Wil- liams and Bill Fay. Although Winchendon did not take Hrst place in its second meet against Lawrence, it did take second through seventh with Peter Bolten, Kim Williams and Chris Preston placing in the top four while in the giant slalom Bill Fay was followed by Peter Bolten and Esh Lunken in a sweep of the first six places.

Barry Zins paced the game with two goals in the first period, but Rivers came back and also scored two in spite of the good defensive efforts of Larry Yacubian and Jim McHale. During the second and third periods, Winchendonls Jack Jesser scored three points while Rob Hinrichs scored one. By the fourth quarter, the score was tied 6-6. Win- chendon was evidently tiring and thus played a scoreless period while Rivers went on to win 9-6. Winchendonls second game saw the Green defeat K.U.A. 5-4 on April 14. K.U.A. led the scoring in the first half in spite of goals by Jack Jesser and Chris Sommerhoff. From the beginning of the second half, Winchendon was able to hold K.U.A. to a minimum of scoring. Chris Sommerholf scored in the third period, and Jack Jesseris two goals in the fourth period won the game 5-4.

K.U.A. managed another goal, but the clock ran out and the final tally was 5-2.

Using a three point individual system, John Donnelly, Terry Brown, and Bill Fay each managed to shut out their opponents. David Pierson, Sandy Axton and Roger Duffy each gained 2M points, while Mike Pierson was awarded one point. A pair of victories followed close on the heels of the first as Winchendon on April 21 defeated Worcester Academy, 13A8 and on April 24, won over Gardner High, 17- 4. Again outstanding golfers in both matches were John Donnelly and David Pierson, who in the second match, shot a two over par. Mike Pierson, a new man on the team, did exceedingly well against Worcester, shutting out his man and gar- nering 3 points. Under the direction of Mr. Donald Adams, the team gave signs of an extremely good season and Vestigia regrets that press time prevented complete coverage of the remaining games. BACK-J. Donnelly, S.

The difhculties of entering college, the end of onels life in secondary school, the anticipa- ,:N,, tion of future challengessthese are but a few of the important developments a senior faces between September and May. Each member of the class of 1965--like all the boys who came before themfmet these challenges in a man- ner which made their year truly different from all the rest. Although the class was somewhat smaller than those of the past, size did not deter the members from setting new academic standards. A greater diversity of talents than in past years-musically, dramatically, literarily- was in evidence as well as a unity of purpose which produced greater coherence in all athlet- ic teams.

The present is the substance and the spirit of this book. The building of a school is more than just a plan carefully conceived and executed. A school is many moments and many people. To trace the structure which these people and these moments have erected has been the pur- pose of this volume. The physical construc- tion of a new campus is underway, but it is only the shadow of a far greater work-the building of men with wisdom and vision, to- day and tomorrow. The staff of the l965 Vrstigia wishes to express its deepest ap- preciation to the following people without whose help and guidance in moments of 'icrisisi' this book could not have been compiled: Mr. R. Robert Marr Mr. Gaston Favreau Mr. Frank Hirons Mr. Burton Gould Mr. Peter McGuirk Mr. Don Lendry NEWEST ADDITION to the school property is Bartlett House. i :- 54 Buz'!a'z'ng with Vz'5z'0n gyf X X, W 4 U P K 1 -fx w ifi as -.
