(lee, wasn't seventh grade fun? {Oil: That was the first year we were all together as a class, and we were a pretty smart class at that. That was also the first year we had expe- rience with study halls. MARIOX: Those corridors looked long and dismal; didn't they? I got lost at least once a day. XORMA : Well, by eighth grade we knew our way around. See this armband? • That’s my souvenier for that year. Miss McCormick was head of the junior high corridor patrol which, by the way, boys, was composed en- tirely of girls. RUSTY : After all. you've got to allow for one mistake. MARGE: Remember the party Miss Potter gave for the Fnglish Club—and the mystery play a group of us girls put on ? XORMA: Ah, my debut as an actress. I can still recall my greatest line—“I’m scared.' [23] BOB: Say isn't this the “Mirror” issued when we were freshmen? It's got a lot of work in it by members of our class. Here’s a Sachem for '45, too. Let’s see what we looked like then. MARION: Oh look! Roger Ilcywood, Arden Tinti, Marion Pratt, and Ralph Tortoriello were our class officers. MARGE: The way those seniors used to look disdainfully at us just because we were a little younger! BUSTY : Here’s the next year’s literature, gang. We really went to town then, joining clubs, entering athletics, and earning good grades at school, too. Our football team was nominated for the Western Massachusetts cham- pionship, and our basketball team won the Valley Wheel championship. BOB: Miss Currier was our faculty adviser, and Roger, Arden, Jean Fusini, and Jack Cassidy were officers. Here's a program from the Blarney Ball, our first fling at putting on social events. XOBMA : That was our Soph party. It was a great success. MARION: Even The Play,” Norma? XOBMA : Let's not discuss the subject any further. BOB: Why not? What happened? MARGE: “The Play” was Norma’s first - NORMA: —and last— MARGE:—attempt at writing, directing, and promoting a play. The day of the grand opening one of the actors, Roger Hey wood, came down with the mumps. RUSTY : Thoughtless of him. NORM A: Well, it all worked out in the end. A1 Racicot did a good job of un- derstudying; and Jack Cassidy, Louise Phillips, Dave Itichman, Jean Fusini. and Louis Haggctt were very co-operative. RUSTY: Here’s the rest of the entertainment: Arden Tinti and Dick Frank- lin. duet; Francinc Provost, tap dance; music by the Sophomore Rhythm Wreckers; and a solo by Marge. BOB: It would have been a perfect year except for the death of Mr. Phelps and Mr. (Jranger. After that no one felt much like having fun. MARIOX: People began to wonder if we’d ever have a new superintendent until Mr. Wright took over. What’s this? The Mirror for the next year is in newspaper form instead of magazine. MARGE: Our Junior year brought about a lot of changes for us. Miss Currier left, our home rooms were changed, and Miss Phelps became our faculty adviser. Charlie Gonet, Louise Phillips, Jean, and Rusty were elected class officers that year. BOB: Mr. Langlois. Miss Bclvca, and Mrs. Hadley left (couldn’t stand us any longer); Mr. Oulton and Mr. Montagna returned after military service; and Miss Parvanian, Mrs. Coleman, and Mr. Freme joined the faculty. By the way, wasn't Mr. Freme here before? 1241 NORMA: Back in '42 and '42. lie took one look at what lie was destined to get in a few years and left. But we fooled him, he had some of us anyway. MARION : Isn’t this little deer, four-legged, that is, from the Reindeer Romp, our Junior Cabaret ? MARGE: That’s Romola Tangocci’s handiwork. She has some clever ideas. Rl ST) : We had a struggle for decorations because of the new fire laws. Any other class might have quit, but we went ahead and made a success. Of course, 10d Kennedy’s orchestra helped. MARION: We uncovered some talent in our class, too. Ginnv Kibbe sang while some of the girls danced, Joanne Woodbury sang, and Norma blew that thing she calls an instrument. MARCE: We got our class rings that winter. Charlie delivered them to us so that we’d have them in time for Christmas. HOH: We voted for our class colors lats year, didn’t we? I remember Leo DeLucehi nominated black and blue. Blue and silver edged his sugges- tion out. though. MARCE: Remember the fun we Tri-IIi girls had at the Wakefield Convention in March? This year only five seniors could go to the convention at Attleboro. REST)’: Then came the Prom in .May, and more trouble with decorations. MARION: We finally collected wild flowers and decorated the auditorium with them. Those and the crystal ball were very effective. NORMA: Eddie Abrahamson’s orchestra was tops. Naturally, that was be- cause he had a lot of saxophones in it. HOH: The death of Miss Barnes, our eighth grade history teacher, marred our junior year, though. MARION: June rolled around, and our friends of forty-seven left us in charge. MARCE: We kept the same officers and took over the front seats in assembly. How we used to fight to decide which room would be in the front row! RIESTY: We finally settled it by having a different room in front each month. HOH: More changes in faculty this year. Miss Moriarty. Mr. Quick, Mr. Oulton, and Mr. Alexakos left. NORMA : Mr. Skolnick, Mr. Kistner, and Mr. Foley joined the faculty. Miss Burke came from the junior high to teach French, and our own Mr. Lang- lois was welcomed back to the school in the biology department. MARION: I suppose this little wind-up toy is a relic of the Kid Party. I think we had more fun playing London Bridges” and Rattlesnake” at that than we did when we were in grammar school. MARCE: Weren’t the costumes funny? I think Miss Miller should have re- ceived a special award for her pinafore and sunbonnet and the long wood-shaving curls. And Charlie was a wonderful Santa. Rl STY: Every time the photographer had us set. some one would crack a joke; and he'd have to place us again. Here’s the final result (picking up pic- ture from the Kid Party). HOH : Here's an account of our football team for the past four years. Out of [25] twenty-five season games, we’ve won twenty-two. tied one, and lost two. Not bad! We were up there for the Western Massachusetts champion- ship again this year. RUSTY: Mow about our basketball team this year? We might have had a rough beginning, but we lieked old West Side; and we were the only team to defeat East Hampton. Next year Coach Kistner’s boys will really make people sit up and take notice. Too bad we won't be there to sec it. MARIOS: The senior class had a lot of representatives in both sports this year. A number of boys received sweaters in football and letters in basketball. XORMA : Does this program from tin senior play, The Divine Flora,” bring back memories, gang? MARGE: That was a riot. Mrs. Nardi was driven nearly crazy at the re- hearsals, but we came through. Miss Phelps kept the cast supplied with cookies. BOB: After the play everything happened at once: the class banquet, presenta- tion of the gifts, ami the reading of the will. MARIOS: June 17th was the happiest and saddest day of my life. RUSTY: Not to mention the proudest. It doesn't seem possible that we won't see a lot of our classmates anymore. XORMA: The picnic was our last gathering as a class. It was fun, even though the boys did beat us girls in softball. MARGE: (Jolly, look at. the time! We’ve got to leave, Norma. See you at our first class reunion.

Barbara Mutti Jack Cassidy Ann Phelps Ernest Megazzini Irene Dymerski 1321 SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS President: RONALD BALBONI Vice-President: SALLY LINDBLAD Secretary: JOAN BELTRAN I 1 Treasurer: ROBERT McMAllON (oVS) rvs Time: 1958 Place : Agawam Municipal Airport As the eight-motored airplane landed gracefully onto the runway of the Agawam Municipal Airport, we, Roger Hey wood, Leslie Gibbs, Virginia Kibbe. Elizabeth Wyant, and David Riehman were there to meet it. When the plane drew to a stop, the door opened, a royal carpet was unrolled, and out stepped Earl Wood, the famous beer baron. We all rushed to greet him, but he gave us a cold stare through his monocle. After we identified ourselves, Earl became his old self again. Ilis first desire was to make a tour of Agawam, as he had been away in Washington for ten years. We hailed a taxi which had “Ralph Giordano's Elite Cab Co.” painted on the door, and we were on our way. Earl immediately stated how surprised he was to see that Agawam had grown into a metropolis. Many new stores and buildings lined the roadside. The first facade we saw was “Walter Sat tier's Motor Sales—Hudsons Exclu- sively. Right next door was “Warren Goss—Ford Dealer. Roth did a thriv- ing business. Continuing on, we saw a huge sign over a little restaurant which said: “Andy Grasso’s Food Shoppe—Human Beings Exclusively. Deciding to get something to eat, we paid the taxi-driver whom we immediately recog- nized as James Porter. Upon entering the restaurant, we were led to a corner table by Clyde Pomeroy, the head waiter. He took our orders and left. Earl started to reminisce about our old schoolmates. Whatever became of Lorraine Stewart ? lie asked. We told him that she was married and belonged to an organization called the “Happy Housewives Club”. Barbara Smith. Dorothy MacPhail, and Marion Hastings were members also. Hazel Hastings was president. The waitress, Wanda Sjostrom, brought our order of hamburgs, which, incidentally, came from “Barbara Mutti s Meat Market. We ate our meal and left the restaurant. Outside we met Laurv and Priscilla Orr Andrews, one of the happiest married couples in town. We waved a friendly greeting and continued on. We passed some exclusive buildings such as the Billy Balboni Baking Plant and Fred Casiello’s Tonsorial Parlor. Then suddenly we arrived at the Charles Hare Institution of Loud Singing with Richard Franklin as general manager. Upon entering the building, we were greeted with a blast of music (?) in all keys. We quickly passed further down the corridor, and e were told where the Leo DcLucehi School of Charm -featuring Joanne Woodbury—was located. We entered the studio but Leo was too busy to see us. We left the building and walked on. Up ahead we saw Charles Gonet, candidate for state senator, making a speech on a soapbox, while James and Barclay Hamill, his bodyguards, were forcing people to listen. We stopped to listen also; but Earl urged us on, since he had heard enough polities in Washington. Walking on, we realized we were getting into the farm country. We saw Donald Taylor, Jack Blodgett, and Walter Campbell out in the fields work- 1341 in ; (?). Passing through the farmlands, we entered another busy industrial center. We saw Eddie Lancour, editor of the “Hobo News,” ride by in a beau- tiful ‘Ml green Ford. We continued on and soon came to a huge B-29 plant, where it was reported Shirley Hutchinson was the No. 1 riveter. The owner of the plant was Robert Webler, who had .Joan Kane and Mamie Liquori as sec- retaries—one for each knee. As we walked along Main Street, we saw another big factory in the making. A sign stated: “Opening soon!! The John Brayton Irene Botclho Bubble Hum Plant. The contractors who were building it were under the direc- tion of John Cassidy. A few yards down the street was a newly-opened theater featuring “How Clean Was My Alley, sequel to “How Green Was My Valley.” The stars were Alan Clark and Virginia Anderson, two of the biggest celebrities in Hollywood. We saw Mr. and Mrs. Paul Oberheim and Mr. and Mrs. Donald Demands buying tickets. We crossed over to the other side of the street. There was a garage on the corner with a sign over it that read: “Cars Repaired and Wrecked Here.” Robert Henry was proprietor, and Louise Phillips was his confidential secretary. Walking on, we soon came to the campus of the famous Agawam Cni- versity. The Dean of the Cniversity was Russell Demands. Shirley Williams was teaching history, Norma Wylie was teaching English, and Joyce Scoville was teaching speech. We left the Cniversity and walked on down Main Street. We were amazed to see George St. John, a police officer, giving Marion Hall a ticket for speeding. It seems that Marion Hall was on her way to her Swank Fashion Shoppe, and had bowled over two pedestrians, passed three red lights, and side- swiped another car. But she was getting a ticket for speeding from one of our alert police officers. Continuing on our way, we saw a sign which stopped us cold. The sign read: “Enterprise Store- Kurt Eschc, Manager.” We had always thought Kurt would be a professional dancer. As we were staring at the sign. Robert Hart walked up to us and asked if we had seen his partner, Donald Rhodes. They were partners in the painting business, and Rhodes had given him the brush. We said that we hadn’t seen Rhodes and walked off. Earl stopped to buy a newspaper from a newsboy; he wanted to see the sports page. Earl said he had made a bet that Stanley Kubotins Football Bears—featuring Ernest Mcgazzini- would defeat Notre Dame. He was wrong. Looking through the sports page, we noticed that Bob Shields had won the ski matches in the 1958 Olympics, while Margaret Coleman took the title in roller skating. Turning to the editorial page, we read Romola Tangocci’s column. Incidentally she had recently changed her last name to Winchcll. Our next stop was the Norma Pisano School of Acting and Dancing. Eddie Gendron was chief instructor. Jack Williams was there taking a course in ballet dancing, and doing very well too. We said goodbye and moved on. We passed by Shibley’s Market, in which Edna Paro had half interest. We also saw the Jean Fusini Giggle School for Girls in which Helen Godek was chief adviser. Betty Davis and Marilyn Quackenbush were the school nurses. Nearby was a beautiful flower shop where a sign in the window read: “Portraits Painted Here. We entered, and there was Virginia Richings paint- ing a portrait of Ann Phelps, the Agawam Debutante. We stayed a while but soon left as it was time for Earl to go back to Washington. Outside we [35] met Imic Dymerski and Betty Sanberg who were working as stenographers in a local law firm. Walking toward the airport, we saw Joan Petersen, a stew- ardess, escorting some passengers into the plane going to Washington. While watching some airplanes coming in. we saw Marjorie Trigger, the flying violinist, emerge from a private plane with Marie Spagnuolo, her secretary. As Karl was about to board the plane, he turned and asked, “By the way, whatever happened to Donald London ? “Oh him ? lie’s playing baseball in the Mexican League!” Leslie Gibbs Roger 1 Iky wood Virginia Kibbe David Riciimax Karl Wood Klizabeth Wyant 1361 FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS President: RICHARD DANFORTH Vice-President: PAULINE DICKINSON Secretary: THERESA YEDAXY Treasurer: WALLACE COWLES (TV9 1 ] Virginia Anderson Oh Henry liar On this wrapper you will view Someone's name so close to you.

(Tk3 (Tk3 The Agawam Brownies in the expert hands of Coach Harmon Smith completed the 1947 season compiling an impressive record of six victories and one tie. The season started with two Eastern Massachusetts teams which Aga- wam defeated without too much trouble. The first real test of the teams strength was the Holyoke game when Agawam surprised all onlookers by win- ning 13-0. The Agawam-Chieopec game proved to be the greatest trial of Agawam power. A crowd of 5,000 watched Agawam start in their traditionally slow manner, and spot Chicopee 14 points. In the second period, Chuck Hare came up with a Chicopee fumble on their 35. Charlie Gonct took over from there to spark the drive that netted Agawam ultimate victory. It was a pass from Knight to Gonct that put the game on ice. Captain Roger Hey wood’s courage and inspiration bolstered the Aga- wam morale in many a tight spot. The line plunges of Gonct and Letendre, and the speedy running of Grasso and LaRiviere, along with the sure-fire pass- ing of Tommy Knight were the big guns in Agawam’s attack.
