Man Agawam High School DEDICATION % we, the class of 1950. stand at the mid-point of the twentieth century and look into the history of the past fifty years, we sec a galaxy of leaders in the fields of science, politics, culture, religion, and education. The history of the years ahead will be made by those who are being grad- uated this year from the many high schools and colleges all over the world. These graduates will assume responsibilities for the problems presented to them in the next fifty years. Looking ahead, we envision a world at peace where great strides will be made in education, medical services, social welfare, and transportation. To the future leaders in these fields upon whose shoulders will rest the responsibility of the accomplishments of the last half of this century we, the class of 1950, proudly dedicate this yearbook. STEERING COMMITTEE ADVERTISING SPORTS CIRCULATION AND TYPISTS AND CLUBS LITERARY ADMINISTRATION Standing at the mid-point of the twentieth century, the youth of today are faced with responsibilities, the importance and scope of which are probably the greatest in history. The courage and foresight of the young people may determine the entire future of our civilization. 1 have faith in their ability to meet the chal- lenge. A. Jkromk Goodwin, Superintendent of Schools The mid-point of the current century, provokes review and prophecy. The past fifty years have been characterized bv rapid strides in scientific research and in improvement of living stan- dards and facilities for education. Inevitably the ensuing fifty years will present further opportunities to all who seek them conscientiously. The Class of 1950 lias participated in a broad program of curricular and extra-curricular activities. I am confident that the meml crs will acquit themselves creditably in the life of their period and that the world will be a l etter one because of their influence. Frederick T. Dacky Principal 1950, a mid-point in a century of great problems and respon- sibilities, offers many challenges to your class. With the advent of atomic energy, television, jet-propelled planes, and the many more inventions in our technological society you will find many opportunities. 1 sincerely hope you have taken advantage of the opportunities offered you at Agawam High School. If you have done this, you are letter prepared for the future.

They went to the Fantasy Transportation Company, where, after swallowing some Rip Van Winkle pills, they climbed aboard an airship that flew them backward through space to the Land of the Past. Almost immediately they reached the Square of the Past. They hailed a slow-moving taxi-cab which took them to the Hotel Secondary, their head- quarters during their visit. At the hotel, the bellhop was slightly puzzled by the two capsules which Gale handed him: but when Marilyn explained that luggage in the Atomic Age was in capsule form, he was quite happy to carry baggage for such progressive patrons. The first and most important undertaking was to find someone to escort the two adventurers on their trip. Marilyn suggested to dale that Joanne Bcltrandi would be just the one to take them on their journey. Having reached her by using their pocket telephone, they agreed to meet her in the lobby. In fifteen minutes they were on their way. The small group of three started down 46th Street. Suddenly, Jo, class secretary for the four years, spied the other three class officers among a jabbering group of youngsters She beckoned to Bob Hynes, the president; Nancy Hall, the vice-president; and Jud Hastings, the treasurer; to join her. Then they all con- tinued on their way. Turning the corner onto Freshman Avenue, Gale asked Bob where all the excited students were going. He explained that the Freshman Class Party was in full swing in the building just up the street, and pointed out that this was the first Freshman Class ever to hold a class party at Agawam High School. The group entered the building along with the other boys and girls and watched the party until a sudden racket from a neighboring building prompted them to investigate. Inside, they saw six girls hopping madly about. Joanne hastened to explain that they were the freshman class cheer leaders practicing for the pep assembly. AS they left the gymnasium, the group heard music from a nearby building. They found out that the annual Junior-Senior Promenade was in progress. Nancy Hall dashed off to join the other freshmen girls who were serving punch at the dance. As they neared the intersection of Freshman Avenue and 47th Street, Bob and Jud ran off to football practice, leaving Joanne, Gale, and Marilyn to find new companions. At the corner of 47th they met the sophomore class officers, Sally Lindblad, Ronnie Balboni, and Bob McMahon, who were on their way to the [ 18 ] gymnasium for the sophomore weekly dancing class. On Sophomore Avenue they for hearty laughter. During elimination dances Bob Dearnley and Marilyn Gosse door, the astonished group perceived a giggling crowd of shoeless girls anxiously watching boys bending over the shoes that would decide partners for the next dance. Coining away from the dancing class, they heard laughter issuing from the nearby building. Informed by Ronnie that the entertainment for the Sopho- more Party was now being given, Dale and Marilyn soon learned the reason for the hilarity. What they saw was a gym exhibition of the 1920's performed by a few of the Sophomore girls instructed by Miss Rirdbath (Gloria Halchek). The costumes of the bloomer girls and the peculiar type of gymnastics were cause for hearty laughter. During elimination dances Bob Dcarnlv and Marilyn Gosse were chosen king and queen. The coronation over. Joanne and Sally went along with Gale and Marilyn, leaving Ronnie and Bob at the dance. At the corner of Sophomore Avenue and 48th Street, Sally saw Dominie DiClcmenti and Dave Davenport coming down Junior Avenue, earnestly arguing about plans for the annual Junior Cabaret. Dominic, the Junior president, told Gale about the entertainment which was just about ready to be presented. Dave, the Junior treasurer, offered to escort them to the dance. After watching a group of girls perform a dance to “Penguin at the Waldorf,” the six went out- doors, where they were confronted by a group of pupils flashing their new class rings. As our friends continued their way down Junior Avenue, they were suddenly attracted by the sweet strains of music which issued from the Junior Prom building on their left. Entering the Junior Prom, they beheld the dimly lighted auditorium of Agawam High School, aglow with multi-colored flecks of light, projected by the crystal balls hanging from the ceiling. The decorations were in keeping with the season — rose-wound trellises, potted geraniums encircling the bubbling fountain, and a lacy, sparkling spider web covering the ceiling. The travelers continued toward the corner of 49th Street and Senior Avenue. Dave Davenport left the group, and Eugene Krygowski became a new member. About halfway down the avenue, groups of giggling youngsters appeared sucking lollipops and carrying many toys. The Seniors were having their annual Kid Party. After the entertainment at the party, someone suggested going down the street to a theater on the corner of 50th Street where the play, “The Perfect Idiot. was being presented by the Senior Class. Following the very enjoyable and entertaining performance, the group decided to end its trip with the class banquet and the commencement exercises. The banquet hall was a gay, noisy place filled with the lovely aroma of the food. After eating their fill, the members of the excursion hurried away to the building where the graduation of the Class of 1950 would be held. The ceremony was very impressive and rather sad, but everyone was cheered by thoughts of the Class Picnic the next day. After the Class Picnic Marilyn and Gale said goodby to their friends and hurried back to the hotel. From the hotel they taxied back to the Fantasy Trans- jMirtation Co., where the jet projected them back to their home in the year 2000.

While waiting at LaGuardia Field, whom should we meet but Robert Gieger, now owner of the Kay Kraft Airlines. As we boarded our plane piloted by “Hector Ilarry Protzenko, we were assisted by stewardesses Thelma Coughlin and Beverly Stewart. Once seated the remainder of our party of four arrived, Bob McMahon, chief engineer for the Franklin-Lcnville Chemical Corp., and his attractive secretary, Jackie Cowles. Three minutes later we landed at the Agawam Municipal Airport. We were greeted by our multi-millionaire host Eugene Krygowski, who had inherited his riches through the fortunate, I mean unfortunate, death of his dearly-beloved spouse. We were escorted to his 85 room bungalow designed by Alfred Casella, built by Eugene Oregon , and decorated by Esther Campbell. That night we attended a Welcome Party given by Richard Hanrahan, mayor of Agawam. Attending the party were: Judson Worthington Hastings. Jr., Athletic Director of the huge Agawam School System; Gerald Mason, his friend, but rival coach at the school in the village of West Springfield; Peggy Rhcault, who had been teaching English in Russia; John Mercadante, the out- standing history teacher in the section; Nancy Pond, Physical Education instructor at the local kindergarten; Peter Imelio, warden at Sing-Song Prison, a division of Sing-Sing; Sally Linblad, voice teacher at Sing-Song; James Hol- lister, her accompanist; Elinor .Murphy, Nancy Hall, and Carol Consolati, who are all nurses at the Agawam City Hospital. The party was a great success and lasted until the wee hours of the morning. June 23, 1975 This morning we attended a business convention. We met tycoon Peter Shibley, manufacturer of “Pete’s Shaving Cream ; Francis St. Jacques, producer of a hand lotion for those who suffer from dishwashing allergies; Hugh Kiernan, business executive for the Norman Sattler Chcvfordillac Co.; Russell Jenks, leader in dairy products; Richard Grccco, president of New England Farmers’ Bureau; Alvah Pearsall, manager of station TV - A.II.S.; Robert Schmidt, hytom bomb-proof home contractor; and last but not least, Beverly Case, world renowned owner ot Case Atomic Cosmetics. After the meeting was adjourned, the chairman, Bernard Eeger, owner of the Agawam racetrack, “Suffolk Ups” took us to dinner at Dominic’s Spaghetti House” (operated by our former 126] • class president). There we found Carole Gould, designer for men's shorts, and her partner, Vivian Plouffc, dining with Marvin Sjostrom, cabinet designer, and Everett Cross, well-known expeditionist. Peering curiously around the room from our table in a dark corner we discern Alice Rossman and Barbara Liptak on the prowl. They arc gossip columnists for the newspaper “Ear to Ear” edited by Mary Conway and co-owncd by June Miller and Verna Porter. Then, hearing a loud voice at the next table, we turned and found Lucille Pomeroy, criminal lawyer, earnestly conversing about a case with Chief of Police, James Cassidy. Our next stop was Ronald Irving's Palladium where we saw Liz “Barry- more” Pond and Bob “Valentino” Hynes starred in the hit show “How to Handle Women, written by playwright Robert Fearn, whose last three productions (including this one) were banned in Boston. At the door we met Rita Shea, the efficient secretary for Robert Faye, Playground Director for the Springfield Schools. Then, after purchasing our tickets, we were escorted to our scats by usherette—usherette?!!—Elaine Wolcott. Well, she always wanted to be con- nected with the theater. In the next box we saw Barbara “Veep” Bartosiak, the first woman vice-president, and her companions, Bernice Chmielcwski. dale Ferry, Marilyn Gosse, and Joanne Bcltrandi, all wives of noted congressmen. The show was a flop, but the evening ended very nicely with a visit to the Orange and Brown Room, owned by Patricia Milliken, Loretta Stepanik, and Theresa Bovat; and managed by Gloria Halchck. Marie Grasso, the bouncer, was stationed at the door. On the bandstand were Bob “Nail” Jones and his llot City Six, featuring the famous clarinetist Jared Hastings, the Benny Goodman of the age. The torchy vocalist we recognized as Kay Monahan. Again we arrived home in time to greet the ultra-violet sun. June 24, 1975 Well Dear Diary, good times couldn't last forever, so at 2:00 P.M. our party left the fair city of Agawam to resume the drudgery to which we have become accustomed.

The team got off to a rather bad start with a Jamboree loss to Chicopee and a crushing 32-0 defeat by the West field Bombers. I'ndauntcd, the Orange and Brown wave swept back and forth and flooded Greenfield under 19 points. Then came three more consecutive victories. Holyoke, with a scrappy ball club, proved to be the toughest of the trio. Drury and Pittsfield came a little easier. The Tunnel City was snowed under 39-0. and the Foxes hung to the short end of a 34-19 score. Traveling to Turners Falls, the Smithmen dropped another contest on a cold, windswept gridiron 26-0. Bouncing back from this disappointing defeat, Agawam tangled with West Side at Memorial Field. The two teams fought furiously and when the dust cleared, the scoreboard read Agawam 14. Visitors 18. Somehow the Terriers had triumphed. The Brownies climaxed a successful season by trouncing Chicopee 39-7. Most of the scoring this year was done by team captain Jerry Mason and hard-running halfback. Dick Grceco. Both these boys consistently tallied high, especially in the contests with Drury, Pittsfield, and Chicopee. Russ Jenks was another fellow who broke over the white line quite often. In praising this half-century football team, attention should be directed to the outstanding performances of the fellows who will be back to play next year or the year after. Of course, our thanks again to the man who turns out top teams for Agawam High season after season. Harmon Smith. Senior members: Jerry Mason, Captain; Robert Geiger, Richard Grecco.

Freshmen, as well as Sophomores. .Juniors, and Seniors, arc given the chance to learn the rules and put them into practice, both in gym classes and during after school sports.
