With involvement as their guide and a strong constitution as a foundation, the Minnechaug Student Council began the 1969-1970 school year. Under the capa- ble leadership of Alex Gray, and the guidance of Mr. Steven Castonguay, each meeting opened new channels of student participation and responsibility. Supported by the popular programs for Snack Break and School Beautification, valuable work in the three realms of driving, dress, and discipline crowded the schedule of each representative. Many agree that improved communica- tion and co-operation between stu- dents, faculty, and administration has been established largely as a result of the Student Council ' s work. With pa- tience and dedication, progressive steps were made in an ever-widening scope of efforts for a better Minnechaug. LEFT: Mr. Castonguay looks on as the meeting progresses.

Requirements Of Chess And Debating With the establishment of Prohibi- tion of United States unilateral military intervention in foreign countries as the topic, battles of wits and skills marked the 1969-1970 season of the Minne- chaug Debating Team. Under the coaching of Mr. Paul LaFlamme, team members learned to think while trying to convince the judge of their viewpoint. The hard work and talent of the Debat- ing Team was proven in their successful representation of Minnechaug. Skill and knowledge of the funda- mentals of chess are vital require- ments of the members of the chess team. The boys play regularly after school in order to be ready for their matches. A lot of hard mental work results in victories for this group. The Chess Team concentrates on their games. HHiMi BACK ROW: B. Brown, D. Olsen, Mr Salk- Advisor, D. Davis, E. Sparks, D.

Pub- lished once a month, the Smoke Signal contains articles of interest for everyone, with recent news and unique features spotlighting school and community. This year was one of many innovations for the Smoke Signal, in- cluding a change of format to a larger size, a Christmas supplement distributed to every student, and the estab lishment of a Falcon trademark.

With the help of Mr. Musselman, the team members headed by their captain, Steve Bosworth, meet twice a week to drill extensively and to hold practice matches. One of the highlights of the year was the annual As Schools Match Wits assembly, when the team triumphantly defeated a team of faculty members in a close match. In their efforts ' for an ever better record, the team members develop their memories and read widely. Minnechaug is fortunate to have such an excellent representation on As Schools Match Wits.

Juniors Triumph And Girls Win Actor Awards In The One Act Play Contest This year was no exception to the tradition of the Junior play winning the honors at the One Act Play contest. It has been car- ried on for seven years in a row. This year, because of the short- age of male actors, the girls who played male roles, Susan Hee- ley and Camille McDonald, won the Best Actor and Best Run- ning-up Actor. The victorious Junior play was Sganarelle, an ageless comedy by Moliere. This delightful play depicted the trauma of blighted love and confused arguing between lovers, amid the hilarious antics of the characters. The bizarre play, Chamber Music, played by the Seniors, showed the thoughts and dreams of eight women in a mental institution.

Football is a bruising game. It requires each play- er ' s dedication to aching muscles and weary limbs. Each football player ' s cour- age and stamina is challenged every time he steps onto the field. In the midst of mental strain and physical intimidation, who will stand tall? For Minnechaug ' s football team, the hopes and expectations of September materialized into but two victories. However, many talented underclassmen got a lot of varsity play- ing experience, and next fall there will be more victories. That is a promise. Frosh Finish 5-1 On The Season The caliber of play has improved considerably in the fresh- man football team during the past couple of years. The establ- ishment of little league football teams locally has brought young players literally into contact with the fundamentals of football playing, before they reach high school. Many of the members of the 1969 freshman football team were veterans of the little leagues, and they demonstrated their skills by producing a 5-1 season record. South Hadley was the only team which managed to stop the fledgling Falcons, who averaged 23 points a game, while holding the opposition to just 11. Head Coach Paul Des- lauriers is looking forward to this coming September to scan the new faces for varsity material. In this squad, he is likely to find a lot. FIRST ROW: R. Rauscher, M. Zulli, D.

Bourbeau, Coach Whalen Booters Win 3 Out Of Last 4 The 1969 varsity team finished with a show- ing of 6-7-1. This was not indicative of what the booters could do, however. Aroused, the Falcons won three out of their last four games and tied with highly touted Cathredral. All-League picks Gary Harris, Bruce Fuller and Biff Fisher led the attack against Minnechaug ' s foes. They are sen- iors, however, and their golden cleats will have to be replaced. The filling of these shoes will have to be done by talented underclassmen — Rick (Rocket) Ingraham, Ken Cieplik (next year ' s Co-captains), Frank Bongiorni, Pat Twoom- ey, Rich Bourbeau and Kevin Courtney. With such a wealth of talent, hard work, and a little bit of Lady Luck, Minnechaug ' s booters will cer- tainly improve on last year ' s record. 164 Sophomore Pat Twomey is headed for the right place, the opponent ' s goal!

Mattson, K. Stephens, J. Ferrara, F. Stir- ton, J. Dailey, J. Boucher. Coach Morgan was never really sure which players he would use until game time, because the ones that hustled were prom- oted to varsity. This added incentive made everybody play their best. If this same spirit is carried over to next year ' s squad the 1970 outlook is bright. R BOTTOM, T. Sidor, H. Piepho, B. Nauman, M. Skipton, R. Gal- Q lant, J. Thomas. MIDDLE: J. Hebert, D.

This year ' s freshman soccer team showed hustle and determination. They lost Rich Bourbeau and had to rely on hard practice, skill and teamwork. Minnechaug certainly can look forward to some good soccer in years ahead when these dedicated players progress to higher levels. w SPORTS GYMNASTICS GIRLS ' GYMNASTICS MINNECHAUG OPPONENTS MINNECHAUG OPPONENTS 68.10 Cathedral 75.00 62.20 Cathedral 55.90 71.39 West Springfield 79.95 59.00 West Springfield 41.45 75.60 Technical 89.95 60.10 Holyoke 31.10 85.95 Tantasqua Regional 62.30 64.50 Tantasqua Regional 49.05 75.70 Deerfield Academy 45.85 58.50 Holyoke Catholic 35.15 82.80 South Hadley 72.60 62.10 South Hadley 37.85 75.20 Deerfield Academy 57.70 63.55 Longmeadow 57.80 78.75 Holyoke 60.75 66.95 First Place Western Mass 83.75 Longmeadow SWIMMING 72.60 BASKETBALL MINNECHAUG OPPONENTS MINNECHAUG OPPONENTS 69 West Springfield 26 67 Palmer 55 45 Chicopee 50 59 Chicopee Comp 71 46 Holyoke 49 66 Monson 73 67 Chicopee Comp 28 59 Stafford Springs 57 72 South Hadley 23 56 West Springfield 62 69 Pittsfield 26 66 South Hadley 43 48 East Longmeadow 47 57 Commerce 85 70 West Springfield 25 58 Longmeadow 64 54 Chicopee 41 53 Ludlow 40 45 Holyoke 50 58 Agawam 63 65 Chicopee Comp 30 60 East Longmeadow 64 60 South Hadley 35 79 South Hadley 57 65 Pittsfield 29 66 Classical 78 57 East Longmeadow 38 66 Longmeadow 54 70 Gardner 25 69 Commerce 57 First Place Western Mass 71 Ludlow 57 First Place State 63 Agawam ?5 First Place New England 63 East Longmeadow 58 83 Palmer ' 9 HOCKEY :C ' ; MINNECHAUG OPPONENTS 1 Commerce 1 GIRLS ' BASKETBALL 1 Commerce 3 6 Amherst 4 MINNECHAUG OPPONENTS Easthampton 4 24 South Hadley 21 2 Amherst 1 47 Monson 41 3 Palmer 1H a SSt 2 41 Ware 32 1 Amherst 1 40 Palmer 18 2 Holyoke 62 Ludlow 36 3 Holyoke 3 48 South Hadley 44 5 Palmer 1 26 Monson 52 2 Easthampton 1 40 Ware 31 Commerce 3 50 Palmer 13 2 Palmer 42 Ludlow 30 1 Easthampton 4 46 Longmeadow 36 3 Holyoke 1 Valley Wheel Co-Ch amps Seniors L.

Soucie. There was a strange drop-off in half time soda sales during the past football season. Why? The 1969-1970 Girls ' Drill Team put on some spectacular perfor- mances. In November, the girls doffed their sweaters and kilts and stepped into newly made uniforms to perform at the basketball games. They worked hard on routines to go along with their new image, and the result was some original precision maneuvers. A well done job and a lot of dedication de- serves a big round of applause.

Bouncing back from last place to first place, the girls ' basketball team is no w co-champion of the Valley Wheel League. The team, led by co-captains Debbie Pet- zold and Denise Gagnier, put in long and odd hours. Plagued by injuries throughout the entire season, the Falconettes still managed to capture the title. Scoring was led by Denise Gagnier with 156 points, and Anne Lescault with 118 points. The girls also played an entirely different ball game this year as the rules were changed to five players and fullcourt. This proved to be challenging for both the girls and Miss Dunn. The tremendous effort put forth by Miss Dunn and the whole team found them a spot in the Western Mass. Tourney.

Six members of the team qualified for the State Individual Meet; Chris Kopf, Jodie Moore, Jeanne Benoit, Sue Fisher, Bonnie Bridgman, and Linda Stiles.

The Rookies Beat The Champs For their first year in an organized league, the hockey team had an impressive 7-4-3 record. Lead by the powerful first line of Biff Fisher, Pete Powers and Pete Kielbasa, and the tena- cious defense of Joe Galavotti, Ken Cieplik and goalie Bill Brummage, the team established it- self as a solid contender in Fay Division play. As rookies in the league, the skaters pulled the upset of the season in out-hustling league champs, Easthampton, for a 2-1 victory.

In Four Years Of Competition, 41-13-1 TOM TAYLOR DENNIS CYR DAVE BOVEY With the strong competition in the league this year, victories were not easy to come by. The Minnechaug Gymnasts suffered three defeats early in the season. They were, however, balanced off with six big wins which can be attributed to team effo rt. Seniors Frank Mazza, Tom Gallagh- er, Doug Coombs, Cliff Keeny and Roger Pelletier lead the way, but the hard work of a group of underclassmen made them score the points which meant finishing with a good season.

Two tough wins over palmer, a win against Bill Folkins and Longmeadow, and some inspired play against reigning Western Mass champ Commerce were the highlights of a hot and cold season. Twice against East Longmeadow, the ball just wouldn ' t go in, and those losses stifled the squad ' s chances for this year ' s crown. The team was young; having three sophomore starters and only three seniors, it showed some excellent play, and should be considered a top threat in the Valley Wheel next season.

The group was the Minnechaug junior varsity basketball team, which was being treated by coach, Ray Mussleman, for clinching the Valley Wheel junior varsity champion- ship. The title was not an official one; no trophy was awarded. The only reward was the sense of personal accomplishment that each player had. All aspire to make varsity next year, where, hopefully, they will win the official title. Congratu- lations, JV. Good luck! II (K te $ f ( fk KNEELING: M. MacKay, M. Gibson, J. Hastings, P.

GOOD LUCK TO THE CLASS OF 1970 215 Compliments of Compliments of Student Council In the 1970 FALCON, we have tried to vary the format which our school year- book has usually followed. We hope we have been successful in capturing the many different sides of Minnechaug. To the staff, we extend our thanks and appreciation for the many hours of devoted work they contributed. Also, we would like to take this opportunity to extend a special thanks to the following people: Mr. Donald Lendry and Mr. Mark Stewart of the American Yearbook Company, Mr. Hausamann and Mr. Brooks Johnson of Hausamann Studio, the FALCON editors, and Mrs. Mary Cesan our yearbook advisor.

Knopf, Publishing Company. 221 Our Apologies To: Craig Groves Meet The Filthy Five And Ellen ' s New Parents On May 22, 1970, Minnechaug opened its doors to an entirely different kind of play. Cen- tered around a group of teenagers, the plot showed how they feel when their parents aban- don them. David and Louise Michaels (Bill Spinn and Jonna Goulding) had just been mar- ried and adopted each other ' s children, Judy (Roxanne Kendall) felt that this meant that her father no longer cared for her, so along with the Filthy Five kidnapped her new sister. The play was staged half on a platform and half on the regular level. This enabled the audience to see two scenes at once. With the success of this play it looks like ' Chaug is on to bigger and bet- ter things! j jk + fr ' - PW r 1 yj . Upper right: Diane Ball does a comic ballet to Swan Lake.

The 1970 Gymnastic Teams In Exhibition This year ' s gymnastic show was highlighted by its new and different interpretations of gymnas- tics. Coordination and beauty were demonstrated when selected members of the teams presented Coed Floor Exercise and Floor Exercise of the Fu- ture. Also new this year was Artistic Gymnastics, showing a member of the team on each piece of apparatus, and a Hoop routine. Pyramids and Tiger Leaping were again a part of the show. And of course the competitive routines. The exciting night ended with a series of tableaux representing sports of the four seasons. Under the direction of coaches Cascio, Morgan, Craig, and Santucci, the show was one to be proud of. Bottom Row: K. Broz, G. Ensign, P. McKay, J. Evans, D. Britten, D. Scarlett, S. Lombardi, J.

A 16 consecutive dual meet streak was ended when East Longmeadow defeated the stubborn Falcons by a close mar- gin. The team was ably coached by Don Barn- ford and his assistants John Worthley and Phil Sousa. Rigorous training coupled with natural enthusiasm aided the squad in achieving a win- ning season.

High spirits and countless laps around the track amid cries of MOVE, were the order of the day as the first year girl ' s tennis team compiled a fine record, losing only to Amherst and Longmeadow. Coach Brewer ' s policy of one lap for every negative thought and the girls ' own determination, promises that next year, rival Longmeadow will fall. SCENT-A-MENTAL J U R N E Y On May 15 and 16, the Girl ' s Synchronized Swimming Team took their audience on a Scent-a-mental Journey , as they presented their annual show. The show consisted of routines, written by the girls, which were named after well-known colognes or perfumes. The routines consisted of varying numbers of girls and included Brute , a solo by Bonnie Bridgman, Pub a duet by Kathy Snyder and Denise Hanson, and Wind Song , a trio choreographed by Leslie Blodgett and featuring Nancy Fleming, Joan Hebert and Debbie Nelson. The team paid tribute to its twelve seniors in the an nual Pomp and Circumstance which was somewhat varied from its tradi tional form. Instead of simply swimming down the pool, the senior members of the team performed an extremely difficult twelve-man dolphin chain. (A lifeguard was standing by in case one of the seniors didn ' t make it up!) The long weeks of hard practice were officially brought to a close with the presentation of roses to Coach Cascio, without whom the show would never have been pulled off. Many thanks to the lighting crew, Mike Lynch, Joe Twining, Ned Dean, and Jeanne Abrahamson. Congratulations to the entire team on an excellent performance. SmMm ' ;- ' -- l ' l -S BOTTOM ROW: C.
