uhe Sachem Agawam High School 1952 The years have flown. Like the gray eagle That wings its way across a fiery sky, Our school days, life's gay childhood time, Is passing, to bloom into a bright and lovely spring. The laughter, that with schoolmate friends we shared, Will be as flowers along rough roads of life. The unseen tears will be as soothing showers That heal the bitterness of hurt and pain. And all the things we’ve learned in school day youth— To work, to laugh, to try and try again— Will guide our fate, will rule our destiny. Will make us into worthy men and women. And as we face the beckoning door of future. With opportunities unlimited at our grasp, We must remember this—the all-important fact: greatest opportunity of all is life. Ann Pratti 0 The wild green forests to our forefathers beckoned. There was a land to conquer, riches to gain; And so man tethered Nature, harnessed the Wild, Shaped it into living towns and cities. He took from the Earth and from the Ocean And formed a land of beauty and of wealth. He gave to the future generations Faith and Hope: He gave them love of Freedom, and Opportunity. Mr. A.

And remember 'Ferry Woodbury? He was our treasurer and had the horrible job of collecting class dues for four years. I don’t think I’ll ever forget the ‘Frosh Frolic,’ our first class dance.” “Yes, Harrie, it was loads of fun, but it was followed by bigger and better dances. Our Sophomore year we celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with our ‘Shamrock Swing.’ That year also brought about a change in class officere.” “Yes, Jean. Bill Keeley was our new class president and he held the steering wheel of our class for three years. You were selected class secretary. We graduated from Room 26 and Miss Ward became our class adviser.” “Then, after a long spring and summer, we were Juniors. Our Junior Cabaret, ‘The Snowman Swirl,’ was a great success. Do you remember our huge Christmas 1221 n wreaths and Santa Claus in his sleigh—to say nothing of Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer, who was the star of the evening? We had hardly recovered from the cabaret when we started to work on the Prom. We had ‘Spring in Central Park’ as our theme and Wendall Bradway’s Orchestra provided the music.” “At last we were Seniors. And, again, a slight change in class officers. You were elected vice-president, weren’t you, Jean?” “You remember everything, Ilarrie. This was our big year, with the Peanut Bowl game added to all our Senior activities. Remember how proud we were when the boys came home victorious? There were a lot of sleepy-eyed students in school that morning after their arrival home. The rally lasted until 2 a.m., didn’t it? But the team really deserved their big welcome.” “The Kid Party sure was fun, too. Remember how funny we all looked in those kid clothes? Everyone joined in to play ‘Ring Around the Rosy,’ tag and all those other games. Santa Claus gave everybody a gift, and the refreshments were delicious.” “The gang worked hard that year on ‘Clementine,’ our class play, and it was a huge success. Marcia Gould and Terry Woodbury were big hits in the leading roles and the members of the supporting cast were also tops. Of course, under the excellent direction of Mrs. Nardi, how could the play be anything but a winner?” “But it wasn’t all laughs and fun, was it, Jean? There were plenty of studies, and then along came our yearbook,—more worry. I never thought we’d reach our quota in advertisements. But everything worked out smoothly and our yearbook finally went to press.” “Well, Harrie, our class banquet came along and then, at long last, our gradu- ation. How sad we were to think of leaving Agawam High, but awfully proud when F. T. I), handed us our diplomas.” Time: Three days later Place: Back in the Recorder’s Office. “So, late again, eh? I thought I told you to be back in two days.” “Well, you see, our passes weren’t properly signed and the Customs Officer sent us back for a slip from the office. Here arc the reports.” 1231 JUNIOR CLASS CLASS OFFICERS President: Vice-President: Richard Hall Marian Hess Secretary: Treasurer: Lucille Ferrarini Alan McEwan We, the CLASS OF 1952, announcing that we arc in our right minds and are still in one piece after having travelled the halls of Agawam High School for four years, do bring forth and publish this last will and testament.

Marcia Gould Michael DiLullo Constance St. John 'Ferry Woodbury 1271 SOPHOMORE CLASS CLASS OFFICERS President: I ice-President: Philip Cardone Lucia Alfano Secretary: Treasurer: Donaldine Roos John Cardone WHO DUNIT? OR THE CASE OF THE HOODWINKED HATPIECE We are relating this story as it was told to us by Elliott Aitchison. The ringing of the telephone brought me back to consciousness. I pushed my hat to the back of my head, moved my feet slowly from the top of the desk, and finally picked up the receiver. Aitchison Detective Agency, Mr. Aitchison himself speaking. State your busi- ness. I’m a busy man.” “Eliott, this is Ginger Aselton. I’ve been robbed and I want you to find the thief. Of course I called you considering we’re old friends.” “I flinch at the reference to old, but of what were you robbed? When, why, and where?” “At the reunion of the Class of 1952. It was a costume affair and I went as an Egyptian queen. 1 borrowed the costume and was just about to return it when I found that one of the jewels in the headpiece was missing.” “So the only ones involved in this caper are members of the Class of ’52 of Agawam High School. I’ll be right over for the details.” I replaced the receiver. It seemed just inconceivable that someone in our own class would turn out to be a crook. Never! Never? I called for Bobbie Cameron, my secretary, and asked her to find me the list of members of my old class. I’d have gotten it myself but even a detective can’t find anything in her files. She found the list under LO which she informed me was for “Left-overs.” I took the list, donned a very detectable look and left the office to sec what I could dig up on the theft. The streets were crowded and I dodged two elderly men only to bump into a young woman. “Oh, excuse me,” I apologized, feeling very glad I had dodged the two men. “Well, if it isn’t Dotty Bopp!! Hey, what is this I see on the third finger of the left hand? Finally got together long enough to get married.” “You bet,” she said as she held her hand so that the ring on it sparkled just a little brighter. “Well, it was—pardon the pun—nice bumping into you.” I hopped a cab over to the Aselton establishment and got the details of the snatch. Not a single clue. By this time my stomach was yelling for food so I took my leave of Ginger and cabbed to a nearby restaurant. As I entered I saw a familiar figure seated in a far corner. I went over. “Dick Backstrom, you old son-of-a-gun. How’s the old married man?” “Fine, and how arc you, the confirmed bachelor?” “Still kicking. Say, were you and Connie at the reunion last week?” “Sure, it was lots of fun.” We reminisced about old times while we cleaned our plates. Then we left. He went home and 1 went down to pick up my car. These cab fares were getting me down. Just because my pal Stu Kibbe owned the Cab-at-your-Service Com- pany was no reason for me to be his best-paying customer. I drove to the indoor hockey building and entered. I shivered slightly as I walked toward the oval of ice in the center of the building. Suddenly someone yelled Duck” and duck I did—clear out of sight behind the safety railing. I heard a dull thud and a groan. When I rose rather sheepishly from my place of hiding I saw a player lying flat on the ice. The other players gathered round him. “As long as it hit his head, he’s safe,” commented one. “Wise guy,” came from the inert form. It was Juney Fontana. I came forward with, Juney, I came over looking for you. I’ll take you to the doc’s.” Though the players helped Juney to my car he was able to enter the hospital under his own steam. I waited till he had been examined and slapped into bed before I continued my conversation. “So you play pro hockey.” “Yeah.” grinned the bandage-swathed Fontana. “Hey, did you get a load of that nurse?” “Sure, didn’t you recognize her? That was Pat Dowd, head nurse on this floor. Maybe you’ll meet Marcia Gould or Harriet Beltrandi. They’re nurses here too.” I left Juney reclining comfortably in the arms of a couple of student nurses, convinced he had nothing to do with the theft. After driving around trying to think up a new angle, I stepped into a corner drugstore and with a weary cry of “Oh my aching head” ordered “a bromo, please.” “Coming right up,” smiled the man in white behind the prescription window. He turned with the bubbling glass. “I thought it was a detective’s feet and not his head that hurt.” I downed my bromo and then something about the voice made me look up. Joe Racicot! You finally got to be a pharmacist after all.” “Yes, it took a while and a lot of persuasion but I finally made it.” “Say, do you ever get to see the old gang?” I asked. “Well, I saw ’em at the reunion.” I thought I’d work this from a different angle instead of just coming right out and asking about the jewels so I said, “Pharmacists make pretty good money, don’t they?” “Enough so they don’t have to steal jewels to live.” Joe grinned back. “How did you find out about the missing jewel?” I asked in amazement. I ran into Norman Marieb. He’s a dentist and gets his supplies here. He takes care of Norma Lauritscn’s kids. She did marry her sailor. Her kids play with Dianne and Louis’ kids. They live next door to Dotty Bopp and you told her.” 1 resolved never to spread idle gossip and went straight home. By noon the next day I was ready for work. Then I thought, why not mix business with pleasure and go down to the ball park for the afternoon. I’m bound to run into some sus- pects there. There was a big crowd and the game was already in progress when I arrived. During the rest of the game I kept my eye on a certain center fielder whom I thought I recognized. After the game I headed for the showers and flashed I 30 ] my little tin badge at my old buddy Stanley Chmielewski, the policeman on duty there. As I waded through the changing players I recognized my center fielder as Billy Gonet. '‘So you made big time baseball as you always wanted.” “Yea, but I’m not the only one. Mike DiLulu and Ames Slate arc both playing out in Chicago now.” Bill and I hashed over old times. When we finally broke up I decided to cut cross town to an office where I knew Ann Pratti and Gloria Gregory worked. I thought they might lx able to give me a lead on where I could find other members of the Class of ’52. From Ann I found out that Jean Davio had become a great success as a commercial artist and was working in New York. Her specialty was the creation of effective backgrounds for T.V. programs. Gloria filled in about Lilly Tetrcault’s success as a professional singer. She said that Hilda “Bumble Boogie” Barker was also appearing professionally. They called in Kathleen Gaboury from the other office and she told me that the last she knew, Dickie Southworth, Ray Krupicnski, and Donald Hyland were in business together inventing and man- ufacturing gadgets for cars. Then she added, ‘‘Did you hear that Cynthia Gay, Gerry Dickinson, Ginny Kwiatkowski, Marie DeMaio, and Dotty Faye have a married women’s club?” I hear they meet quite often and have lots of fun. Oh, and Shirley King is in the WAF you know. From what I hear she ranks higher than a lot of the men where she’s stationed.” Suddenly it dawned on me that I had to go to a party that night. Can’t work all the time. It was a formal affair so I stopped in front of a convenient flower shop. What’s this? I read the sign over the door again. Campbell and Cote, Florists. OOOOooo la la, this was class. The boys must be making a mint. After ordering my flowers, I was about to cross the street to my car when a truck whizzed by me so close that it took the lint off my suit. I said something—under my breath—because there was a lady standing nearby. I turned to get a better look at her. “Mary Jack!” “Elliott, what a surprise!” “What are you doing in this vicinity?” I asked. “Haven’t you heard? I’m in business. I just opened a store. I’m supplying the smart girls with new chic fashions—real high class stuff. Nancy Kibbe is one of my models. Mary Raimondi designs the clothes and Joyce Cavanaugh does the fine hand work.” “Classy is right. Congratulations. Incidentally were you at the reunion?” “Sure, some fun.” I hated to ask Mary any questions but, “Did you notice the jewels Ginny Aselton was wearing?” “No. Matter of fact I didn’t even see her. Why?” “Forget it,” I finished. Anyway Mary couldn’t have had anything to do with the robbery. She ran to catch her bus and I hopped into my car and turned on the radio. And heard— “We have just brought you at this time from the Hotel Waldorf the Westing- house Choir which was accompanied by Miss Barbara Peck of radio and television fame. This is Ronald Corriveau speaking.” So Barbara was in New York and Ronnie was too. Two more suspects off the list. The radio continued with a 5 minute roundup of the latest news by none other than Tom Dacey, the noted reporter. The big city had claimed a number of my old pals. I thought I’d take a run up to sec Richard Edwards, who had become a very successful artist. On my way down the hall toward his office I passed several open doors. I paused in front of one thinking I heard familiar voices. I wasn’t unnoticed, for immediately there sprang up a chorus of “Elliott.” 1311 “ili kids. I might have known you girls would stick together. Dot Harrison, Dolores LaRivere and Annette Boissonault—all in the same office. Where’s Dec Gallerani and Shirley Druzba? Aren’t they members of your clan?” “They’re too busy taking care of their own homes and husbands to be working with us,” replied Dot. We talked over old times for a while and then I asked if they ever got to see Dick Edwards since he was in the same building. They told me that he was out of town on business right now so my visit to him had to be postponed. I said my goodbyes and started to leave. There was a chorus of feminine farewells as I walked into the crowded hall. I ducked into the elevator. Well, Elliott, nothing like attracting attention.” I turned to see Ginny Gallano. “I’m on an errand for my boss. I’m supposed to lx a stenographer but could be very comfortable in track shoes. Lil Depalo and Honey Hartwig are in my office too.” We stepped off the elevator. “Nice day, Elliott, so long.” I always enjoy talking with Ginny. I got in my car and headed for the out- skirts of town. Being shortcut happy I pulled off the highway onto a dirt road and got not too far along when I noticed it was getting muddy. It got muddier as I progressed until it was too muddy to go any farther. I was stuck clear up to the hub caps. I sloshed around and sized up the situation. Just then a tractor squished into sight and I hailed it. “Once a year I have to pull some city guy out of the mud here. I should think you’d have more sense than that, Elliott.” When he spoke my name I recognized him. “Bernie Campbell, is this part of your farm?” “Not exactly mine. All the guys who were interested in any phase of farming got together and formed a farming corporation. We all work together and then split the profits. John Bruno takes care of the poultry, I take care of the livestock, Richard Peterson and Nelson LaFrancis handle the gardening, and Stanley Pieczarka has a little project on his own. He raises crabs. They are quite a delicacy, you know.” After being pulled out of the mud I went to the new chemical plant which someday might be called Woodbury and Sons. I stepped into the office to sec Terry, the president, working himself up into a lather over a new soap he had just made, called “Variety.” “What say, Terrv? I dropped in to see how you liked the class reunion last week.” “It turned out pretty good for me, but all my fans are either married or don’t give a darn any more,” he grinned. “Well, Ginger Aselton lost a jewel and I wondered if you knew anything about it.” “No, can’t say that I do.” Say. do you know where I can find Bill Kecley?” “He’s coming in on the 2:15 plane from Washington. You know, he’s a Con- gressman from Massachusetts. And you know, I’m not the only business man in the class. Have you seen Bill Hove? You’ll never guess what he is doing.” “Then I won’t try.” Very funny, but anyway, he’s president of the Gorgeous Gussy Girdle Works and Marge Coughlin and Jean Hall are his head models. Chester Sulborski is still trying to decide which girl wears the Gorgeous Gussy. And you remember Bill Napolitan? He runs a chain of grocery stores and John Fcdier is his head butcher. Alfred Longey does all the bulk meat buying. Walter Meisncr is district manager in New England, and Dominick Lepore is public relations man.” “You sure keep up with the boys. Well, I’ve got to buzz off. See you around.” From here I drove down to my bank. My Christmas Club was just a few I 32 years behind. It must have been old home week at the bank because once inside I spotted a number of my old friends. I knew that Jean Leger, Arlene Miller, and Priscilla Miner worked here, but standing at the Christmas club window were Larry Pisano and Liz Conway. “Pm not the only one behind in my payments,” I greeted them. “What is it. Liz? Don’t Alex Woishnis and Richard San Gcorgi pay you enough ?” “Oh, silly,” she scowled back. “What’s this, Elliott.” asked Larry. “What do they do?” “They run an accordion mart, as well as play for various occasions. Liz is the receptionist. What are you doing?” “Oh, I work in the big garage downtown. Joe Knapp, Frank Stoll, and I are the mechanics. Did you know Richard Magovcrn was head of the automobile department at Sears?” “Say he’s done well, and so have you.” We finished our business at the bank and then I went out to the airport to meet Hill Keeley. I entered the building and saw Janet Franklin at a desk. I didn’t have time to speak because the plane was already in. I dashed out to meet Hill but noticed a pert stewardess heading my way. Of course I took a second look and found it was Theresa Ferrarini. “Hi, Threasc, how was the trip?” “Ho, just as swell as ever.” “By the way, were you at the reunion?” “Sure, I was there.” “Did you happen to sec Ginnv Aselton’s jeweled cos—hey, who’s that?” “Oh, that’s Claire Knapik. She’s just come back from a tour with the Ice Capades. She was at the reunion.” “Hello, kids.” “Hello, Claire.” “What are you doing these days, Elliott?” “I’m in the detective business. Where’s Hill Keeley? I thought he was coming in on this plane.” “He was, but something urgent came up and he had to miss this flight.” Theresa had another flight right away so I gave Claire a ride into town. Then I went back to my office to think things over. I had been so interested in what my old friends were doing that I had completely neglected to speak of the missing jewel to most of them. Those I did mention it to knew nothing about it. I had just decided that I was up against a blank wall when the phone rang. It was Ginger Aselton again. “Oh, Elliott, I’m so sorry and ashamed about the trouble I’ve caused you,” she said. “What do you mean?” I asked. “The jewel. I have it. It wasn’t stolen at all. It had just come loose and fallen under the sofa. I cleaned this morning and found it!” Marjorik Coughlin Patricia Dowd Shirley Druzba Theresa Ferrarini Claire Knapik 133 J FRESHMAN CLASS CLASS OFFICERS President: Donald Hastings Secretary: Vice-President: Albert Girotti Treasurer: Audrey Letendre Louis Mercandante Elliott Aitchison Jet Plane This jet plane will get you 'round quite fast; The question is — how long will it last?

Its purpose is “to create, maintain, and extend throughout school, home and community high standards of Christian living.” There are many traditional events in Tri-Hi-Y and this year, as in years past, the girls enjoyed the usual covered dish supper, Halloween party, Mock Prom, and Spring Style Show in addition to meetings devoted to speakers, discussions, movies, and demonstrations. Nine members of the club attended the Two-State YMCA Older Girls and Tri-Hi-Y Conference at Middleboro, Massachusetts, February 29 - March 1.

The only defeat was at the hands of Greenfield, Western Massachusetts Champion. By this record Agawam won second spot in the Western Massa- chusetts standings and became eligible to play in the Peanut Bowl Game at Columbus, Georgia, on New Year’s Day. All Agawam united in the effort to raise money to make it possible for the boys to journey to Columbus where they won the classic from the Richmond team, Georgia A. A. champions, by a score of 20 to 12. While in Georgia the boys stayed at Fort Benning. They had an opportunity to visit some places of interest in Georgia and also in Washington on a short stopover on the way home. This was an experience which none of the boys will forget. Captain William Keeley, Richard Backstrom and Stuart Kibbe were chosen for the All Western Massachusetts first team. Stanley Chmielewski and Alfred Fontana were placed on the second team, while William Gonct and Richard Hall won honorable mention.

BASKETBALL Paced by Captain Ames Slate, we enjoyed one of our best basketball seasons in the last few years. Coach Kistner’s boys lost some real thrillers which could have gone either way. The best game of the year was our victory over Ware in three over time periods. Not once during the season were our boys completely out- classed. The record for the team was 5-11.

[65] GIRLS' SPORTS The sports program is one of the most active and enjoyable of the extracurricular activities. Under the guidance of Miss Hastings, the girls not only learn the rules of the game but develop a sportsmanlike attitude. Before every girl graduates she should enjoy the experience of friendship and fun that can be found in sports. All the senior girls who participate in this program play in the “All Stars.” a basketball game in which the seniors play the best players of the other class teams.
