The process is a simplewyet dynamic-one. It starts with moments and unfolds through years of mean- ingful experience-a calculus of wide, ex- panding thought. Educationflike a right idea-has oft been likened to a growing seed. The fertile soil is first preparedyall obstacles removedfso that the planting might be timely, true. The light of inspiration and the warmth of understand- ing cooperate with substances that nourish and enrich. The sapling or the seedling needs this rightful nutriment and thrives when thoughtful, loving care protects each stage of growth. The bud and blossom must appear, and petals of a higher purpose lead on to fruitage and to harvest time. At Winchendon, this growth is double-fold: as each boy passes through its gates and reaches manhood on the other side, the school itself must grow and shape anew each pupil in its care. From this processgsimple as it seems-there rises more than just a school 5 a force, dynamic in its impact, branches out and sows the seeds of future growth. COMPANIONSHIP: A fall picnic is fun for all. LEADERSHIP: Mr. Marr welcomes Kevin Fogarty to Winchendon. SCHOLARSHIP: Small classes encourage academic growth Varied ingredients needed for the growing years MUTUAL RESPECT: A ratio of 1:5 enables boys and masters to work closely during the year. 'ff'-fm INSPIRATION: Mr. Boyden challenges his freshman history class 5 Growth is found in qualities both intangible and concrete ,J CREATIVITY: John Galbraith practises his music after the day's activities have ended. su gn H TRADITION: The Hying of a school Hag was a marked addition to Winchendon life in 1965. Growth means many things, both concrete and intangible: tradition as the school years passg cooperation in minutiae of daily lifeg movement and agility 3 the thoughtful con- sciousness which probes the world 5 creativity which opens windows on the soulg co-elbow- ing with temperaments diverseg the quiet mo- ments which enlighten and enlargeg experi- ences myriad which make one's prep school days a priceless time for every boy. Both tear and triumph wait along the way, but certain is the outcome, and these years are needed for the ripening of thought. The change from boy to mang from seed to harvest g from foun- dation to superstructure-these are the sub- stances of Vestigia 1966-these are the grow- ing years. COOPERATION: Dormitory life requires boys to share experiences as they learn to work together. YF MOVEMENT: A sound athletic program is emphasized at Winchendon. Here the Cross Country Team meets a rival under the watchful eye of Coach Shumway. ,. THOUGHT: Senior, Peter Ostwald, is captured in a mo- ment of contemplation during a moming class. 7 .

The prosperity of the Winchendon School is due in part to the dedication of its trustees -a major arm of the school-to Winchendon ideals. Belief in the school provides the im- petus necessary for the realization of the Win- chendon dream. The spring of 1965 witnessed the beginning of the first phase of the new', Winchendon. By surnmer's end the tennis courts and football fields had been completed. Having carved a place out of the wilderness for these athletic fields, the school is now de- termined to erect dormitories and, in time, an entirely new campus on the site adjoining these new fields. At their meetings during the year the trustees reaiiirmed their support of the school's building program and sought new ways to bring this program speedily to com- pletion. .' .ig a, ri J 1 ,fix Q7 FUTURE GROWTH is discussed by Messieurs Hipp and Meehan during coffee hour August 24. ,r..

It seems to me that we should take each year in stride, aware of the progress that is made from September to September, grateful for each gain and success, however great or small, knowing that with good and hard work comes the reward. Thus each .day in a sense is an anniversary, a day that slips by quickly, but eventfully-a day that runs into weeks, months and the years. We look back, therefore, on these five years and happily give credit to the boys who experienced them and made the school what it is today. They, as individuals in their own person, have a place in our memories which can never be erased or forgotten, no more than those who will follow them in the next and many anniversaries. With them, ever concerned, ever caring, always loving are the parents, relatives and friends who with faith in their sons and in the school place them in our care. Thus, the last Hve years and what they have meant to all of us can only strengthen that faith and the resolve to continue the work with a phi- losophy to which we are dedicated. ,al 5 is THE HEADMASTER tends to his many duties.

Here, Bill Londino receives extra help from his dorm master, Mr. Favreau, during study hall at night. l6 DAILY GRADES are given to boys during study hall. Here, Terry Brown receives his marks from Mr. Stelfens. SMALL CLASSES and a 1:5 ratio of teachers to students are outstandingifacets of the academic policy. I7 Vextigia Nulla Retrorsum-no steps back- wards-the school motto embodies the spirit infused into each student at the Winchendon School. Here at Winchendon, the student hopefully acquires an inquiring mind and a sense of personal responsibility. Each year the school had added to its faculty and has in- creased the student enrollment, yet, since its inception, Winchendon has stressed the im- portance of the individual. Winchendon exists because of its profound belief in the worth of each and every boy. Classes-limited to only five students-offer a unique program of studies. During the supervised study periods, the teachers are available for further consul- tation. The close relationship between student and teacher creates an atmosphere of respect for learning and a desire for personal excel- lence. New democracy course emphasizes history's scope l FREDERICK L.

Love and hate? Self-aggrandisement? Failure to under- stand the problems of one's neighbor or a misguided zeal? This world has moved in realms of tear and triumph, of failure and magnificent ideas and deeds. To understand the present, a great history course must live, for a time, in the past. This year for the first time Winchendon offered a Problems in Democracy course. Mr. Danilowicz, drawing upon his years of expe- rience in the foreign service, was able to eluci- date problems confronting American and Eu- ropean democracies. The Winchendon student, thus encouraged, enters the pageantry of the past while carefully observing causal connec- tions which might shed light upon man's fu- ture. Standardized English courses in '66 benefit all In 1966 under the direction of Mr. Eriksen and his staff, Winchendon's English depart- ment introduced a completely revised cur- riculum. The English department, the largest in the school, is among the most important for it assumes the task of preparing students for college courses. This year the summer reading program pro- vided a means of developing writing skills and inculcated an appreciation of literature while Mrs. Zins provided help for those boys who needed additional training in vocabulary, read- ing and spelling.

Conversation and composition, stressed in language courses SPANISH GRAMMAR is a must with Mr. Johnson. l If a school is to produce an academic pro- gram which embraces many cultures, then this school must be endowed with a vigorous mod- ern language department. The student, to escape provincialism and an insular interpre- tation of life, must attempt to understand the thought processes of other peoples, and language is a man,s most functional means of communi- cation. Precision, articulation and imagination- all are hopefully inculcated into the Winchen- don language student. In 1966, French and Spanish teachers stressed the practical application of the modern lan- guage. Frequent compositions in the new lan- guage and an intensification of its usage helped the student to assimilate the material. Once again, Mr. Matthews taught Latin and lucidly interpreted the contributions of this venerable tongue. DANIEL M. JOHNSON Head of Spanish Department B.A., M.A. fMiddlebu1yj g Music Instruction.

The department head, Mr. Rad- cliffe, purchased the new B.S.C.S. course in Biology, the P.S.S.C. course in Physics and the most modern chemistry and general sci- ence courses offered. These new courses are the result of three years of testing all over the nation. The past few years eminent teachers have employed the newest scientific interpre- tations in selected classes. Their findings are embodied in the textbooks used at Winchen- don. Mindful of the emphasis which today's colleges place upon scientific learning, Win- chendon boldly accepted this new challenge.

The math student per- ceives the problem, systematically plots its so- lution and then applies these equations and rules to everyday problems. At Winchendon there is an orderly sequence of courses embody- ing the schoolis philosophy of individual atten- tion. In Algebra I the student learns funda- mental equations and rules. Algebra II provides a foundation for solid geometry studied by the third year student while trigonometry rounds out the department for ambitious seniors. GEOMETRIC RULES engross Fargo Balliett.

Winchendon's office is indeed the nerve cen- ter of the school. From it pour forth daily vol- umes of mail which propagate the Winchen- don story, informing alumni and friends of Winchendonls continuing progress. Mr. Mc- Guirk, who assumed the duties of alumni sec- retary in 1966, typifies the industry of the school in his many endeavors both creative and journalistic. School secretaries greet visitors, care for the mail and tend the switchboard to name but a few of their myriad tasks. These women conscientiously perform all duties. Mrs. Klarsch, too, has her following. Besieged by ailing students and those who wake to Find themselves hopefully in delicate health, Win- chendon's tactful nurse skillfully treats the ail- ments of all. Thus, Winchendon's ofHce staff and nurse contribute immeasurably to the school's well-being.

Mr. John Nalwalker arid nine assistants compose this staff. Every day Mr. Nalwalker prepares approximately five hundred meals and admirably succeeds in starving off hun- gry Winchendon students. Another important member of the maintenance staff is Mrs. Mary Nalwalker who is ably assisted by six maids. Daily, these women are confronted with the task of keeping eighty-seven student and fac- ulty rooms in order. In addition, these wom- en clean the classrooms and library. Dino Ruschioni, assisted by five men, tends the golf course and maintains the school buildings. Mr. Ruschioni's numerous tasks demand con- stant vigilance, for all buildings eventually de- velop many aches and pains. Maintenance problems at Winchendon are indeed varied, and all are dealt with conscientiously. A FAMILIAR FACE is kitchen assistant Ernest Crosby whose cheerfulness is known to all. 4?

Much has been said of the size of the 1966 graduating class as the largest in the school's history, but the impact of these 41 boys was more than just numbers. Outstanding talents in music, art and literature worked side by side with athletic and scholastic excellence. Leader- shipAthat quality so earnestly needed in sen- iors-proved far from lacking, and through a friendly rivalry with unclerclassmen, particu- larly freshmen, Wlinchendonls seniors of 166 inculcated in the younger boys a sense of re- spect for the school and an earnest desire to be a constructive part of something really great. Maturity, responsibility, co-operation, wisdom and a hundred other qualities are needed in a good senior class, and Wlinchendon is proud that the 41 of ,66 so admirably proved their worth.

Participating in all varsity and junior-varsity sports, the class of '67 showed its determination to make its mark on the school even before the mantle of senior responsibility fell upon its shoulders. The Glee Club, yearbook, news- paper, Press Club, Cheerleaders, Camera Club and school bands all claimed active members from this enthusiastic class. Academically, its members ranked among the highest in the stu- dent body throughout the year. Socially, this group seemed eager to lill the shoes of its im- mediate predecessors in helping to build a bond of unity among the diverse temperaments in the school. Rarely does one strong class follow so closely on the heels of another, but as sen- iors-to-be, this group gave great promise of even greater things to come. by spirited junior class members l COACH MARKHAM relates a close play.

Winchendon's band of sophomores, however, failed to conform to the traditional image in 1966. Comprised of many veterans and an equal number of new faces, these boys provided assistance to juniors and seniors on the athletic field, in the classroom and in extra-curricular activities. Particularly outstand- ing in musical talent, the sophomores of '66 demanded a voice in school life and, in doing so, commanded the attention of their peers. With the pressures of college entrance just over the horizon, the class of 1968 appeared to be buckling down to meet the challenges which lay ahead.

Though not yet a man, he is still not a child, he respects a senior but is not above a Sunday afternoon raid on the senior corridor, he may be away from home for the first time, but he readily looks to the countless 'folder brothers in the upper school. YVinehendon,s Class of 569 in many respects exhibited all traits one asso- ciates with a freshman but, in doing so, left an indelible stamp on all those who came with- in the orbit of their activity. Corning from as far as Tennessee, Louisiana and Venezuela, the members of the Freshman Class gave Wlinchen- don a spirit it had never known before-a close- ness between freshman and senior which was felt by all. Perhaps this bond was natural with five freshman having older brothers in the school, but whatever the cause, the unity it provided set the tone for a most eventful year.

Leaving home, meeting new friends, adjusting to dormitory life, facing new aca- demic challenges,-such is the melange of events which greets each boy that day in Sep- tember which so many rue. The pattern is the same each yearg yet somehow each year has an individuality all its own. Perhaps the new faces make the dififerenceg perhaps, the growth in outlook as each boy matures. Whatever the difference, this year the student body-117 strong-assembled September 15, ready to move forward, yet keenly aware of some omni- present spirit in the air: the spirit of growth. The student body had increased in sizeg the dream of a new campus was being realizedg the Hrst four years had witnessed careful planting of the seed-the philosophy of Winchendon- now was the time for progress 5 now was the time for growth. ANOTHER YE AR greets Fargo Balllett HUCK CROSS meets his dorm master for the year. It is a well known fact that the backbone of a boarding school is the atmosphere which pre- vails in the dormitory. The discipline and guidance, the friendship and respect between masters and boys, the spirit of wholesome fun which co-elbows with academic perseverance, co-operation and responsibility, creativity and spontaneity-these are the substances which nourish and enrich in the growing years. Dorm life at Wlinehendon is similar in some respects to that of other schools though W'inchenclon's philosophy of helping individuals is present here where the growing must begin. Although 29 boys reside in smaller of-campus houses, the majority of students make their home within the school's main building. Here it is that the tenor of the school is set. the soil made ready for the seeds of knowledge and co-operation with one's fellow man. HOUSE PARTIES give a homelike atmosphere. fl The many facets of dorm life WAITING at meals is required of all boys. PY' ':.f. 'Ia Q . .. , - tg..

Bolting across the finish line in a tight race, walking to church on Sunday morning, Hwarming up before sports practice or packing for that trip home when vacation begins-these and countless other events common to a boarding school are signs of motion and of growth. Their meaning is a vital portion of that larger process known as education-thc unending motion of men- tality, searching out life's promise and fulfill- ment for individuals or for groups.

The growing years of a boy are years when the individual must find his place within the group 5 the growing years of Win- chendon are years which never ceasefyears of dedicated effort by the group focused on helping every individual to grow. 1966 proved to be a year when individual and group com- bined their talents to effect a spirit that the school had not approached before. This spirit -an intangible but vital element-pervaded even the minutiae of daily life so that the pride of being part of Winchendon encouraged individuals to give that extra measure of them- selves which makes a school year truly great. l l FRESHMAN DORMS are groups of individuals.

Many are the roles that he is called upon to Hll, many are the challenges. Both tear and triumph wait along the way, but his progress is assured. He, who once was just a pupil, in four years knocks at the doors of scholarship. He, who once was just a friend, glimpses the deeper significance of kinship with all mankind. He, who once was just an athlete, grasps the mean- ing of activity in the game of life. He, who once was just a boy with a desire to express himself creatively, approaches manhood with a keener sense of his identity-that creative individuality which plays its vital role within the harmony of life.

A PARENT-FACULTY CONFERENCE between Messieurs Morton 8: Markham is one of many Parents' Day activities. TRUSTEES, John Newberry and Sanford Waters, converse with Mrs. Colburn during the Parents' Day reception. PARENTS AND SONS meet with faculty members at a reception held in the main lounge. With several hundred parents represented at the year's fall Parents' YVeekend, Winchen- don seemed ready to burst its seams. Early ar- rivals appeared on campus Friday afternoon, October 22. This enabled them to view more readily the school day at Winchendon. While students flowed back and forth between clas- ses, the parents relaxed with a quick round of golf. The majority of parents arrived Saturday morning in time to view a Green victory over the Andover J.Vfs. The reception following the football game gave students the first real opportunity to bring their parents and teach- ers together. The entire faculty being present were thus enabled to discuss the strengths, weaknesses and progress of the boys with at- tending parents. This personal attention, in keeping with Winchendon's philosophy, pro- vides an added stimulus for student growth in the all-important growing years. Throughout the day other events kept par- ents and students at a frenzied pace. An at- tractive display of photographs depicting life at Winchendon, prepared by the Camera Club, was exhibited in the telephone room. Simul- taneously, a special feature of Parents, YVeek- end was held in the library-the annual Book Fair. Presented by the Hampshire Book Shop of Northhampton, Massachusetts, the Book Fair offered parents the opportunity to contri- bute to Winchendonls library, supplement their own needs and view the books now stocked by the school library. As a result of the sale, several dozen volumes were presented to the library through the generosity of parents and friends and a handsome commission made available to the school to be used for purchases during the remainder of the year. The Saturday evening banquet, always the highlight of the weekend, proved to be a very happy occasion. Conversation flowed freely, and many parents re-established old friendships. Mr. Marr, in his short speech, re-emphasized education's need for schools such as Wlinchendon and was enthusiastically supported by all. Following the banquet, the parents met for an informal gathering at Inglesiclefa fit conclusion to a most successful event. 73 Brown quarterback, Bob Hall, addresses Christmas Banquet ws ,..

Special awards were also made to honor the schoolls first undefeated football team. High- light of the evening was a speech given by Mr. Robert Hall, Brown University's record-break- ing senior quarterback, who shared his impres- sions of college life-academic, athletic and social-with an attentive Winchendon audi- ence. To close the evening, the faculty and stu- dent body gathered on the front porch to wit- ness the lighting of the school Christmas tree and to join in familiar Christmas carols, thus establishing a new Winchendon tradition.

SPIRIT RUNS HIGH as Bill Fay leads underclassmen in ch 78 C SCHOOL CHEERING leads to victory and ringing of victory bell. Captained by Venezuela,s Luis Martinez, the 1966 Winchendon School cheerleaders helped to evoke in each boy at football games the spirit of Winchendon. Both familiar cheers and some new ones rang out Saturday after Saturday and proved a contributing factor in the schoolls first undefeated football season. Of particular note was the work of this hearty band at the St. Paul's game where the cheer- ing of Winchendon students proved more spirited than that of a large St. Paul's Parents, Day crowd. It is no little credit to the cheer- leaders that faculty and students alike felt the greatest sense of unanimity thus far in the school's history this football season. Truly the enthusiasm and unbounded energy of these boys permeated the crowd those cold Satur- day afternoons and cemented all members of the Winchendon family in a bond of unity. 79 Newspaper and Press Club expand journalistic endeavors PRGGRESS EDITORS plan their next issue. The Press Club works hand in hand with Progrersf VVinchendon School's newspaper. Composed of twenty-eight members who per- formed myriad tasks, this year the Press Club published and distributed all sports schedules. Under the sponsorship of the club, movies were shown in the library every Sunday after- noon at two o'clock. Press Club members set up necessary equipment, sol.d candy, and main- tained order. The club assumed the duty of informing newspapers of the schoolls game scores throughout the entire year. Impressions, a booklet comprised of the literary efforts of interested students, was also presented by the Press Club. Impressions sought to capture the artistic perceptions and reflections realized at Wlinchenclon. First published in the spring of 1965, Inzjircssions, because of its simplicity and inherent charm, has added another dimen- sion to the Press Club and the Wlinchendon School. BACKAP. Valentine, R.

Old boys, accustomed to the routine of opening days, were quick to assist new bays in finding classrooms and keeping one's schedule straight. The 1965-1966 student enroll- ment of 117 students is the largest in the school's history. In order to provide space for this added enrollment, two classrooms around the second floor barber shop area have been converted into student rooms. The small house behind the siudy hall was then converted mm two class- rooms. In addition, exira boys were placed on,theBart1etxprop, erty. There are presently four boys and one master residing in this house. Eight bays each are residing at Ingleside, the farm- house, and the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Young. The remainder of the student body lives on the campus proper. The 1965-1966 school enroll- ment of 117 students represents a geographical distribution which encompasses nineteen states and . three foreign cmmtrxes. As has been the case in pan years, several ol the New England states, along with New York and Pennsylvania, account for the heaviest concentration of stu- dents. New York Siam again leads the list, accounting for twenty three of the student enrollment. Of Lhete, five are from New York City. Mnsachusetts is in second place with twenty-one students, followed by New Jersey and Pennsylvania - -states which have thirteen representatives earh at Winchendon. There are xwelve studenis who represent the stare of Connecticut. Eight of this year's student body are from Illinois, while Florida and Ohio each have four delegates on campus. Michigan has three boys, and Louisiana, North Carolina and Tennessee each have :wo of their native sons at Wlnchendon. The states of Arkansas, Delaware, New Hampshire, Vermont, Virginia and West Virgmia each have a single representative oncampus. Outside the continental United States, France and the Vlrgln Islands each have anambassador at The Winchendon School, while Venezuela can claim twosmdems as its own. Numerically, the senior class is the largest this year, with forty-one students. This also represents the largest senior class in the history of the school. There are twenty-seven juniors, twenty-four sophomores and twenty-live freshmen. There are twenty-five faculty members for the current school year. Of this number, five are new to Wlnchendon. Their pic- tures and brief biographies are to be found elsewhere in this issue. An interesting sldelighi to the 1965-1966 school enrollment il the number of brothers to be found on campus. Both Don Anderson '63 and Tim Fogarty '63 have brothers enrolled in the school this year. Don's brother, Dave, is a senior, while Kevin Fogarty is a member of the junior class. Dave Pierson, '65, is represented by two brothers, sophomore Mike and freshman Pat. Sophqmore Steve Richardson? brother Pete is a member uf the freshman class as ls Alberto Martinez, brother to sz-mor Luiz Martinez. Senior .Jack .lesser has had two step- brorhers graduate from The Wmchendon School. They are Dave Clark, class of 1963, and Ray Clark who graduated in 1965.

Mr. Peter McGuirk, who for the past three years has taught French at the school and super- vised a dcrmltory, has been re- lleved of these duties to devote full time to lhe association.After bringing ihe alumni address lists completely up to date, the as- sociation will endeavor ro mam- tain a steady correspondence with each alumnus. sending news- letznrs, construction progress reports, athletic schedules, school newpapers and other pertinent infrnmatx-sn. In time it is hoped that A sevarate alumni magazine can be produced, featuring alumni pictures as well as stories of and by alumni. Alumni Hget- togelhersn in various parts of me country as well as class reunions are also para of me long-range plans of the associa- tion. Az preseni, the 1ui100-0Pera- tion of each alumnus is needed to ensure the success of the project. Alumni are requested to send their current addresses to the school, and are urged to make any suggestions they mlgm feel advisable for the successful develwment of the association. This ymr's game wlil see the Wimzhendon varsity hosting a strong Andover .LV4 team. Fol- lowing tha football game, parents and guests are invited to the Headmaster!

Mr. Marr will extend greetings in the assembled guests, but since this is primar- xly intended as a day sei aside mr parents in spend with their sons, no forma! spa-erhes are planned. On Sunday, parexxis may ac- company thelr sons to church, and then take them to dinner at one of the fine nearby eating esiablishments, Places which are recommended are The Wind- ing Brook Inn, Fox Run, The Oyster Bar, Strawberry Acres, The Old Mill, and The Flizwilliam Inn. Parenia are requested no have iheir sons back on campus by 5:00 p.m. In past years, this weekend has been the highlight of the fall term -- a weekend to be re- member-ed throughout the entire school year. The editors and sta!! of PROGRESS like this opportunity to say welcome to all our parents and guesns. We hope that this weekend will prove to be as engoyable for you as it always has been for ua. gun For New Of Alumni In 2 recent interview with a PROGRESS reporter, Mr. Mc- Guirk emphasized that the most important aspeci of the associ- ation at this time Wu that of bringmg address files up todate. Many alumni have graduated from college or moved without gwing the school a change of address notice. After a certain amount of time, mail to theme alumni is returned. Unable to forward it to any other address, the .school is forced to remove the name from its mailing lists. Within the next month a ques- tionnaire will be sent to all alumni ai the address as list- ed in the school records. This brie! questionnaire will ask for a repfvrz on acfivities and future plans, as wel! as a validation boxh fu college and home addres- ses. If the associaiicn is unable to locate the alumnus at his col- lege address, Mr. McGuirk has promised Hnothing short of bloodhuundsu to trace him, 'fWe want every alumni to feel that he is an essential park 01 the association, Mr. McGuirk said. The tormaimn of the alumni asioclatkm marks another major step forward in the develovment of the school. The cooperation and whole hearted supportofeach alumnus will ensure the success ol the usoc1ation's plans. Mr. McGuirk said he would ap- preciate questions, comments or suggestions directed to htm at the school. .

Mr. Peter MCGulrk Editorial Thoughts On Parents' Day By: C. FOSTFR BROWN SINCE THE INCEPTION OF PARENTS' Day in 1960, 3 growing slgnlflaance has become attached to the day. It has become more than a visit . . , more than a dinner . . . more than a reunion. ON THE SURFACE, Wluchendon's Parents' Day is much like Parents' Day in the other preparatory schools ihroughou! the country. Parents come to see their sons, meet other parents, and View the environment ln which the Wlnchendon students live and work. 'rm' BOY PLAYS A MAJOR ROLE in mm. H8 is anxious to show his parents everything . . . his room . , , the library . . . and all the other campus things which seem important to him. On Saturday afternoon he acmmpanles his parents to the football game. llere, too, he wants his parents to appreciate the mlneve- ments of his srhool. llls parents hope that the school will win, of course. but their main sourre of pride :Homes from seeing that Wlnchendon plays with sportsmanship - like educated adults. At the rereptlmm following the game, the boy introduces his parents to hxs xeacthers. This is of major importance. A school is only as good as its educators, Winchendon ls noted :or its hxgh quality of teaching. lts sl-holastic stability. The boy is eware of this, and ronsequently is anxious to make his parents aware of the same thmg, BUT SHOWING PARENTS AROUND the physical plant, intro- ducing them to teachers and sharing the excitement of a good lootball game are only the tangible expressions ol Parents' Day. There ls another side toit. .. a sxde which may not be lmmedlate- ly evident . . . a side for which the student is ln large measure responsible . . , 3 side whlfh parents sense and appreciate. WE MAY TERM THIS SIDE' the growth factor and it ls an important part of Winchendon. As the boy accompanies his parents around the campus, to a football game or dinner, the parents should begin lo sense a change in their son . . . his growth. lt ls this growth that Wlnchendon emphasizes, and although the boy may not realize iz, lt is this growth that his parents are seeking. STUDENTS MAY NEVER EXPRESSLY thank their parents for sending them to Wlnchendon. The boy may presume that his parents know of his gratitude through his enthusiasm. They will not know lt, however, unless his scholastic achievement snows the same enthusiasm - - along with its results. IT IS lN THIS SENSE that the spirit of Parents' Day should permeate the entire school year. Every student is anxious to both please his parents and lmpress them -- and on Parents' Day everyone makes a concentrated effort to do so. But there ls an obligation as well, and lt extends far beyond Parents' Day. WY, AS STUDENTS, HAVE A JOB TO D0 . . . 110i SUTIPIY 05 October 23, hun throughout the entire school year, Corner Parents' Day To Lhe Graduates: To you who are now in college, this day will recall memorls of an event enjoyed by you and your parencs. More than that, it will re-emphasize the re-assuring feeling of a togetherness which bullds us into a community working ln a common cause. Although you are distances away, we here wish you success in your college experiences -- which will reflect you yourself and the school you left behind. To the Parents: The school extends to you a most cordial welcome, inviting you to share with us the few hours of your stay. The re-union with your son ls, of rourse, most important, The football game, the reception, the dinner will bring you closer tothe school -- will re-affirm your early faith in it - will renew your con- fidence in your son's development into the man you want him to be. R, ROBERT MARR Headmaster Editorial An Impression Grows . . . By: WILLIAM ROSE IT WOULD BE MORE THAN FOOLISH to write of athletic facilities in terms of flowery poetry. No one will ever be left speechless after looking at athletic fields and tennis courts, and phrases such as Hmajestlc beauty would be, to say the least, a rather thick covering, IT WOULD NOT BE TOO MUCH, HOWEVER, to C311 them 'flmpresstven - - not ln the same sense as Michelangelo? Plein ls impressive, or fa beautiful palntmg, lends an impression. They are impressive when considered ln rfuntext - - ln the context of The Winchendon School -- of what ms gone before and what ls to follow. ONE CANNOT HELP but be impressed by the rapid pace of the schooI's progress. with :he completion of the new athletic fields that pace ls emphasized once again. The new Wlnchendon appears on the horizon, and as Mme passes and our young men grow into leaders and influential individuals, Wlnchendan cannot help but emerge as one ol' the finest educational forres in the country. HAVING COMPLETED TIHS FIRST ST!-'P ln the bulldlng process, consideration of a second phase has already begun. A dormitory is badly needed, and 11 is important that its construction begin as soon as possible. The erection of a dorm and expansion of the campus would thus release many of the present rooms for classroom and office use. AS A SCHOOL.. HOW? VER, we have not been ln existence long enough for our alumni to contribute a large amount of money . . , although so many of them do give and give well. lt wlll be ten or fifteen years, actually, before they will be able to make a major contribution. We are presently relying on the generosity and donations of parents and good friends of the school. Their response has been as impressive as the development of the school. OUR SMALL DONATIONS ARF NECESSARY - but what is really needed is the faith and generosity oi the individual who ls willing to commit himself - who will give alarge amount of money and then trust ln Wlnchendon to produce. lF SOMEONE WOULD TAKE THE PLUNGF, others undoubtedly would follow, for there are many just waiting for someone to take me first step. THE IMPRESSION OF WINCHE NDON has already been produced by its pas! record . . . by the achievements of lts students, both past and present . . . by the job which the school does . , . by the speed with which the school has become known and respected. THE IMPRESSION OF WINCHENDON w'lll be further enhanced by the realization of the building program . . . by the emergence of the new Wlnchendon. This all depends an what present friends, ONLY WE CAN DO IT, New Campus Each year has seen the addition of new features on campus, as well as the beginning of new tradmtmons, Two new features of campus lile this year signify the beginning of even more ffwinchendon traditxonsf' The first of these ls a school flag, recently acquired by the school, This flag is flying directly beneath the flag of the Umted States. The school crest and the words Hwlnchendon School are inscribed in whlte against a green background. Features The second acquisition, a gilt to the school, is a large bronze bell which has been named the ffvlctory bell. This bell has been placed in front of the school, ln the area of the old tennis court. It ls rung only in case of an athletic victory, and ls rung only by the captain of that victorious team or the captain for that day If there is no permanent captain for the team. Next year, the bell will be placed on the new athletic fields. parents and interested parties wtll do.

Pai? 3 Students Submit Reports ll .Summer Readings with the 1965-1966 school year underway, the student body sampled its first schoolwlde academic project of the year ar a school meeting held on Monday evening, September 20. Speaking to both old and new boys, Mr. Clifford Eriltxen, Chairman ol the English Department, outlined the reading program which went Lnto effect this past summer and the term paper to be composed, based on the assigned reading. Mr. Ertkxen spoke in substance as follows: 'fThe reading of books as part ol schoolwork during your summer vacation ls not something adopted for the purpose of keeping you busy. lt is an opportunity Q a clmllenge in which you cannot help but be the winner. We have found that, ln order to be adequately prepared for college, a pupil needs continuous practice in vocabulary, reading speed, comprehension - all the skills needed ln his school work. The books you have been assigned serve thai purpose. Beyond this immediate goal, however, the reading selections were carefully chosen to prepare you for the type of work you willbe doing this year, The literature ln English I will introduce you to the value or interpreting for yourself what you have read.

This paper will give us a chance to see how you feel about the nooks you read. We are nor interested in what some encyclo- pedia or some magazine editor, or some college professor, iesls abou: theme books.

We are asking you not to use any outside reference materlal. but to make the mosto! this opportun- ity to see and to be yourselves. The topics we have chosen are designed to prepare the way for your work this year. Those who resid the pre-Freshmen book! 11.61, THE Jl-IW OF MALTA. HUCKLEBERRY FINN, SEA WQLF.

Boys met every Thursday night after dinner and practiced until the beginning of study hall. These hourly sessions were espe- cially advantageous because the boys did not have to relinquish any of their study time. In addition, the Glce Club was reduced from Hfty to thirty members. This reduction made management easier and proved beneficial for the better voices in the school. Prior to Christ- mas vacation the entire school, led by the Glee Club, gathered around the illuminated tree to sing carols. just before the spring vacation and in the middle of the spring term, the club presented school concerts which included numbers ranging from folk to show music.

ALGERNON WOOS CECILY fTony Paul 8: Bob Reillyj in Wilde's classic Comedy 90 Drama Club production highlights types of comedy A COMIC TABLEAU is struck by Winchendon School s budding thespians Winchendonis Drama Club, on the evening of March 6, presented a carefully conceived lecture which illustrated the various types of comedy. The six monologues and dialogues were taken from Moliere's The Imaginary In- valid, Oscar YVilde's The Importance of Being Earnest and Ionesco's The Lesson. In addi- tion to those mentioned, a selection, taken from Jules PfeiH'er's satirical blackouts, was cleverly rendered. In studying both comic and tragic theatre, the students learned that the comic performance should strive to imitate life, and though the tragedian seeks the em- pathy of his audience, it is the comic author who always succeeds in loosing the more pow- erful forcevlaughter. Winchendorfs reaction, indeed, testified to this fact. CYRAND'S NOSE SPEECH is expertly delivered by veteran club member Larry Yacubian.

Winchendon's Junior Football Team opened its season by meeting a larger, more experienced Gardner team which used a little-seen single- wing offense. Fullback Peter Richardson ran 45 yards for a touchdown, but the defense was the major source of pride. The loss 26-6, to a team, undefeated in four years, resulted from inexperience and not lack of spirit. The next game, however, witnessed a strong Winchendon Squad overwhelm Deerfield. Only penalties held the margin down to 12W -O. Louis Brown completed 9 of 13 passes, one each to Jack Everhart and Peter Richardson for touchdowns while Doug Bournique and John Lasker con- tributed outstanding catches to aid Louis. Al- though the season proved too short. the Junior team showed itself a squad of spirited. im- provement-conscious boys. JUNIOR TEAM: BACK-Mr. O'Neil, J. Lasker, P. Richardson. A. Martinez. D.

Cn January 19, the Winchendon School Varsity Swimming Team lost its opening meet against the Fitchburg Varsity, 49-45 at Clark Memorial. High points of the meet occurred when the team of John Galbraith, Trig Camp- bell, Minot Amory and Dick Cardamone took the 200 yard medley relay. John Galbraith also received a first in the diving. Winchendon lost its next two meets against the Worcester Jun- ior Varsity Team and the Mount Hermon Jun- ior Varsity squad. A first place by Dick Tilgh- man in the 200 yard individual medley and a Hrst place by David Clark in the 100 yard breast stroke highlighted the meet. In a re- turn meet against Fitchburg High School, Winchendon proved victorious. The team of Bob Boyd, Trig Campbell, Minot Amory, and Rick Cardamone won the 200 yard medley and were matched by fellow team members BACK-Mr. O'Neil, R. Ryan, A. McCord, C. Curtin, L. Skelly, J.

In the closing 160 yard freestyle relay, Winchendon,s team of Cordy McCord, Sandy Barnes, Trig Campbell and Tom Higgins moved out ahead to clinch a Green win. In spite of YVinchendon's next two losses against Williston and K.U.A., the Winchendon Var- sity drove hard to get back in the winning column but bowed to determined teams from Deerfield and Wilbraham. In the last and prob- ably best meet of the season, Wfinchendon lost to Wilbraham 38-57. Significant in the last contest was the improvement in times and effort by each team member. Although the sea- son proved to be a rough one, individual growth and team experience paved the way for a stronger year in 1967.

The Winchendon J.V. Basketball Team, coached by Mr. James Bucar and Mr. Edward Potter, fought hard throughout the winter term but was unable to turn in a winning sea- son. Led by Captain Roger Merriman, the Green Team scored 3 wins and 8 losses, but the improvement in individual team members far outshone any victories or defeats. The team opened the season January 12 against Deerfield. Although the game was evenly matched in the Hrst half, a full court press by Deerfield in the second half over- powered Winchendon. The opposite conditions prevailed the following week, however, when Winchendon lost to Worcester. A big half- time lead by VVOrcester was more than matched by Winchendon's point for point drive in the second half. The J.V.,s next bowed to the Mt. Hermon Ivy in a closely contested game. Louis Brown was high scorer with 11 points followed by jay Quick with 9. A CORNER JUMP SHOT is tried by Louis Brown Q12l. l 13 J. V. Basketball Squad WILBRAHAM fails to stop a shot by Jay Quick CQOD.

Bounc- ing back from the Deerfield loss, The J.V's then traveled to Monadnock Regional High School where they soundly defeated their hosts. Although there were numerous mistakes, this time there were few personal fouls, and the team shot very well from the foul line. 13 points were scored by Louis Brown while Mike Pierson followed with 7. The following two games were both return matches and showed clearly the improvement being made by the Green Team. Once again the Mt. Hermon Ivy defeated Winchendon on February 19 but not without a determined LOUIS BROWN foils opponent in bid for rebound. exhlblts steady Improvement as season unfolds effort on the part of Winchendon with Louis Brown and Roger Merriman turning in the greatest number of points. The game with Cushing, however, proved to be one of the best team efforts of the 1966 season. Winchen- don, tied at half-time, pulled away from its opponents in the second half as Roger Merri- man's work on rebounds and Dick Berge's con- sistent passing gave Winchendon the victory. Jay Quick proved high scorer with 13 points followed by Roger Merriman with 11. The remaining three games put Winchen- don in the losing column, but at no time did the Green Team lag in drive or determination. In a game against Rivers on February 26, the team got off to a slow start, a move which Rivers capitalized on, thus enabling them to win. This game was followed by a loss to Wil- braham wherein Louis Brown did his best shooting of the season for a total of 17 points. The final loss against Lawrence witnessed a Green Team driving hard and playing a game which was a tribute to their growth during the season.

Team 36-15 at Worcester on January 19. Two new boys, Scott Tiernan and Dave McNeice, both wrestled five matches and scored sound victories over their opponents. At the next meet, however, the Green Team encountered one of its strongest opponents of the year-Wilbraham Academy-and bowed to them 24-19. Al- though scoring 3 pins and 2 decisions, Win- chendon was unable to match an extremely capable Wilbraham team. Defeat once again stalked Winchendon as it traveled next to Mount Hermon on February 9. Watt Reynolds, Tom Giardini, Curt Moore and Will Thayer all clinched their matches, but the Mt.

Here the fine wrestling of Scott Tiernan, Jim Nicholas and Jenner Evans again helped to bring victory. Dave McNeice won what was probably the most exciting bout of the match as he was one point behind and made his two point take-down as the final whistle blew. With its season then stand- ing 2-2, Winchendon moved next to Willis- ton where it handed the J.V. squad a 38-13 defeat. The combined efforts of all Green Team members soundly trounced Williston and paved the way for Winchendon's final meet and victory of the season against Cushing Acad- emy. Although it barely squeaked through with a win against Cushing 20-19, Winchendon fought its hardest bout of the year. Jim Nicho- las, Jenner Evans, Tom Giardini, Curt Moore and Dave McNeice all contributed points to- ward the Green victory, thus enabling Winchen- don to defeat an opponent which they had been unable to master in previous seasons. Scoring their best team record since the team was formed, Winchendonis wrestlers closed their season with the assurance of a job well-done. Winchendon vs Worcester 35-15 Wilbraham 19-24 Mt.

Victorious in their first meet, the Green Team under Co-Captains Jim Hickey and Jack Jes- ser defeated Deerheld January 15 and then moved on to trounce Cushing January 19. Team members, Peter Bolten, Rip Rose, Jim Hickey, Jack Jesser, and Bill Fay led Winchen- don to victory with their wins in the Slalom and Giant Slalom but bowed in the next meet to a strong Williston team in a close downhill race under icy conditions. One of the highlights of the season came when Winchendon defeated Lawrence by a perfect score at Fitzwilliam. Once more the Varsity proved victorious when they handed a defeat to Vermont Academy January 29, led by Jack Jesser in the Giant Slalom and Rip Rose in the Slalom. Spurred on by the previous victories, Winchendon then traveled to the annual Cushing Carnival where both Cushing and Lawrence bowed to the Green strength.
