1 9 6 6 Agawam High School Agawam, Massachusetts (VTTtnv. ORRDWTON . usic fair We salute MASSACHU the mem FOREWORD Although many incidents occurred during this school year, not only at Agawam but also throughout the world, the graduation ceremonies will be of major importance in the lives of the 1966 seniors. The challenge of a world which demands the best of what we have to offer makes us realize that our ambitions and aspirations must be set high. Only through gaining recogni- tion of our potentials may we hope to fulfill the vision and ideals of growth and progress. Our concern and our guide for the future are best expressed in the implied philosophy of Robert Frost. With our high school days coming to a close, we pause to look at the in- dividual dreams, thoughts, and memories which we shall take with us. Thus we present the 1966 Sachem, the end of an era of growth and the beginning of a life of independence and creativity. 9 FACULTY ADMINISTRATION 7 The Class of 1966 has maintained balance when pressures on teenagers have been abnormal. The “Beatles”, peculiar haircuts, short skills, beards, civil rights sit-ins, mob violence in the United States and throughout the world, the war in Vietnam, and com- pulsory military service represent some of the in- fluences. Congratulations to the Class of 1966 for good progress in all areas of high school activity in spite of the turbulent environment. Mr. James Clark Superintendent of Schools 8 Association with the Class of 1966 has been inter- esting, rewarding, and very pleasant. Your abilities and accomplishments have been many and varied. You will graduate at a time when competition to schools and the world’s work is very keen, but because your records, both in the curricular and co-curricular presentations, have been among the best of many classes to have been graduated from this high school, I feel you will be competent to accept any of the challenges. It is my sincere wish that your lives will be success- ful and happy and that you will realize your desires. Mr. Frederick T. Dacey Principal 9 MR. JOHN PORTER Guidance Counselor 10 These all-important people are the true leaders of our school ... the men and women to whom we look for inspiration. Correcting .. . criticizing .. . listening .. . freely giving of their time to help those in trouble or in need ... teaching what we must know ... sharing their knowledge with us ... endlessly ... without adequate recognition ... especially from us, who take all they have to offer. Enough thanks could not possibly be given to all members of our faculty and administration ... the ap- preciation caught in our innermost selves is too deep to be expressed ... or even realized ... yet.

Who won the class elections? What time is the football game on Saturday? Which one is Sonny and which one is Cher? Why do elephants wear green sneakers? These are the questions ranging from trivia to world affairs, which sometimes bothered us during our four high school years. The first three years often seemed like thirty; the last year could not have been more than a week—two at the most. Though we can never actually relive those times, recalling some of the activities, fads, personalities, and world events which molded our high school lives may enable us to regain the spirit of those years. The late Fred Allen’s autobiography is introduced, “I began as a child.” Most people have started life in a similar manner. In fact, we actually began our own high school lives as children—we were treated like children, we were excluded like children, and we probably acted like children. Being a freshman is the lowliest position on earth; it is peon, peasant, and plebian combined and multiplied by 1025. Half of our first day in the new school was spent getting lost because we did not ask for directions, and the other half was spent getting lost because we did ask and did receive ‘proper’ directions. Our retaliation for this treatment was to come in later years, as we sold elevator passes and lunch table reservations to unsuspecting frosh. Silly putty was barely getting off the ground when the yo-yo craze struck. The ice-cube-tossing fad became prevalent in the spring, and records of several thousand catches and many frozen fingers were set for no particular reason. On the clothes scene, pin-striped shirts came on strong, as did elbow patches on just about everything but short- sleeved shirts. Girls turned to denim; consequently, boys turned to History yo-yos. In the entertainment field, Ben Casey and Jim Kildare took over the role of family doctor, making the girls swoon and the AMA rather ill. At the same time, Vaughn Meader, a previously unheard of night club comedian, became a star overnight with his “First Family” album. At Agawam High School, our class worked as a unit for the first time by electing our class officers, Gerald Cleary, president; Greg Hart, vice-president: Kathy Leamy, secretary; and Ricky Morin, treasurer. The class play was “The Trysting Place”; Bob Osolinski was chosen the best actor. To the tune of “We love you, Conrad,” came Conrad Birdie in the school musical, Bye, Bye Birdie. Many of our freshmen were gaining valuable dramatic experience by participat- ing in this program. Spring brought our successful class party; this “Surfin’ Safari” was organized by co-chairmen Kathy Leamy and Jeff Wiles. In world events, Walter Schirra orbited the earth six times in Sigma 7 and was followed by Gordon Cooper’s twenty-two orbit Faith 7 flight. Our nation’s achievements in space were suddenly overshadowed by the tragic loss beneath the sea of the atomic-powered U.S.S. Thresher, when the submarine failed to surface in diving tests off the New England shore. Hope that the ship was merely lost flickered and died as time passed: later, the bathyscaphe Trieste found scraps of materials which were traced to the Thresher, but the mystery remained unsolved. On a more hopeful note. Pope John XXIII opened the twenty-first Ecumenical Council in Rome in an attempt to bring the Roman Cath- olic Church into harmony with the modern world and to initiate a drive for a closer bond among all the religions of the world. 67 President Kennedy was very much in the news that year; his youth- ful zeal and vigor gave a dynamic spirit to the nation. Throughout the summer of 1962, Soviet-built missiles were being positioned in Cuba; this crisis tested the young President’s determination. In late October he spoke to America and announced that we would stand fast in Cuba. A blockade was employed, and the world watched, fearful that each moment might bring disaster. Finally the missiles were with- drawn, and the Cold War became colder. The signing of the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, which banned all tests in the atmosphere, space, or water was a great triumph for both President Kennedy and mankind. The two month summer reprieve brought a sudden change in pop music. Pure Rock ’n Roll was slowly fading and was quickly replaced by folk music as the taste of the college campuses invaded the lives of all teens. Bob Dylan, Peter, Paul, and Mary, and Joan Baez were the disciples of the quiet, singable, often message-laden music. The popu- larity of the female folk singers’ long, straight hair filtered through to teen fadism and forced hairdressers to abandon teasing combs and other ‘bouffant’-oriented tools. The appearance of the Beatles in Jan- uary, followed by the Dave Clark Five, The Rolling Stones, and nearly all other English males between sixteen and twenty-three raised havoc in the barber profession and brought near ruin to the scifsors-manu- facturers. World-wide Beatlemania brought the Beatle wigs, among other promotional materials, and Mr. Ashton’s first period class covered his receding hairline with a platinum blonde wig. Elephant jokes spread throughout the country, while trolls and rat finks decorated many a teenager’s already cluttered desk. Another unique fad was the making of chains formed by weaving chewing gum wrappers to the height of a girl’s favorite beau. The Motown sound of the Supremes brought the 68 limbo and an almost endless stream of other new ‘dances’. Physical fitness programs were being boosted by the twisting teens. In the fashion world, girls’ wrap-around and A-line skirts were replacing conventional styles, and bulky mohair sweaters became the rage for the cold winter months. Triangles in every pattern possible adorned sparkling tresses. Mohair V-neck pullovers rated highly with the young men, and colored crew sox became an immediate success. Madras made its grand entrance in the spring: every conceivable type of clothing was styled in the popular Indian material. Lightweight parkas became indispensable, just as winter ski parkas had achieved fame only a few years before. School dramatics brought Bells Are Ringing to Agawam as the school musical, and “Feathertop” with Jack Quinn. Jean Brusseau, Bob Osolinski, Judy Leno, Steve Catelotti, Moonyean Field, Marilyn DeMont, and Gerald Cleary, as the class play. Returning to office as a result of class elections were Gerald Cleary as president and Ricky Morin as treasurer, while new positions went to Bob Leger as vice- president and Patti Salmonsen as secretary. While we were sophomores, the United States put Ranger 6 on the moon, and Cassius Clay put Sonny Liston on the canvas in Miami. Shea Stadium was dedicated as the home of the Mels while the World’s Fair opened across the street. The signing of the Civil Rights Act was the nation’s greatest dramatic achievement; the nomination of Barry Goldwater for president was the greatest humorous achievement. The assassination of Ngo Dinh Nhu and Ngo Dinh Dien fore- shadowed the impending war in Vietnam and introduced Americans to 69 a place that would a year later be the most important country in many an American’s life. Death struck at two proud nations on opposite sides of the globe, taking the leaders of India and the United States. Jawaharlal Nehru succumbed after a long illness. His leadership of the Indian people through colonialism to nationalism made him one of the world’s most respected leaders. His successor, Lai Balhdur Shastri, immediately filled the void left by Nehru’s death, but he too was marked for death in the near future. At home, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was struck down by an assassin’s bullet as he rode in a motorcade through Dallas. The sudden death of this great man shocked the world and plunged the nation into a paralysis of grief and disbelief. President Kennedy had brought new hope to a nation plagued by the frustrations of the modern world; memorials to the late President were innumer- able, but the greatest memorials are in the hearts of the people he loved and served. Another summer flew by, and we returned to start what was prob- ably our toughest year bookwise; however, the books didn’t prevent us from indulging in crazy foaming, skateboarding and wearing tikis, carryovers from the summer. Fall brought the Mustang, the biggest success car in the history of the automobile industry; other lines soon followed with their own fastback models. In sports, football reigned king as we took the conference championship, while on television Hullabaloo and Shindig, directed solely at Teens, gave nationwide ex- posure to recording stars every week. The Frug, Swim, Freddy, and others filled the novel discotheques: in art it was the year of Andy Warhol and op and pop art. In fashions, girls’ hair remained long and started getting ironed. In shoes, girls turned to low heels, sandals, and slingbacks, while penny loafers were big sellers among both boys and girls. Cranberry was the big color this year, and the school bloomed with tennis sweaters in the spring. In girls’ clothes, ponchos, over-sized zippers, textured nylons, 70 and shoulder pocketbooks were “in”. Big hits in men’s clothes were stay-press pants and cordurory dungarees. Junior year was a busy year for class activities as we hosted many affairs for the Seniors: to direct the class we elected Gerald Cleary as president. Boh Leger as vice-president, Marilyn DeMont as Secre- tary, and Ken Affleck as treasurer. In December we hosted the Cabaret: co-chairmen for “Silver Bells” were Jane Stowell and Dave Giguere. “The Storm” with Jack Quinn. Julie Haidemenos, Boh Osolinski, Jackie Bouley, Judy Leno, and Moonyean Field, was our class play. In the spring we participated in the English Department’s Shakespeare program by traveling to Stratford to see Romeo and Juliet. In May.- Jackie Bouley and Dale Roberts served as co-chairmen of the prom, “Sayonara.” At the end of the year, various juniors were granted honors: Jackie Bouley was the Girls’ State representative at Bridge- water, Bob Leger went to Boys State at the University of Massachusetts, Steve Catelotti represented the school at Governor’s Day. and Gerald Cleary received the Dartmouth Club Book Award. At the end of the year, we hosted graduation, with Sandy Losito and Bob Leger serving as the Junior Marshalls. On the. world scene, the summer Olympics opened in Tokyo while on the other side of the Sea of Japan, China detonated its first atomic bomb and started playing in the big leagues. After years of striving for recognition, China finally became a serious threat to the free world. Her program of “wars of liberation” in Southeast Asia, particularly in South Vietnam, resulted in the landing of the marines and the constant escalation of the war. At home “LBJ” was elected to his first full term, and his Great Society hit its stride. The scientific and technological advances of the United States made the walk in space and the capsule rendezvous of the Grissom-Young and McDivitt-White space teams seem like every day happenings; when we started school, such a feat would have seemed like something from Buck Rogers. Fall of the senior year brought two dynamic, if opposite, personali- ties to our attention—James Bond and Batman. Bond’s adventures brought a horde of imitators; Batman’s nothingness was difficult to imitate. There were ethnic jokes by the score, and pierced ears re- placed the summer’s solar ray sunglasses. The folk-rock sound, pion- eered by Bob Dylan, came on strong, as the Turtles, the Byrds, the Loving Spoonfuls, Sonny and Cher lead the way. With the boys, wing- tip shoes added a dressier touch to school clothes, and the Princeton cut continued to dominate men’s hair styles. In girls’ fashions, over the knee knee sox, poor-boy sweaters, and the “total look” were in. Granny dresses and bell bottom slacks were both short-lived fads. Bench warmers, or stadium coats, were predominant in cooler weather. Senior year brought to our attention the question concerning which really serves more hamburgers, Riverdale Road or the cafeteria. “Hold it!” and “Hi, Hi. H i,” were the watchwords whenever yearbook pic- tures were being shot around the school. Senior year brought a number of honors to the members of our class as we became the leaders of the student body. In academics, Jerome Jackson became a semifinalist in the National Merit Scholar- ship Program as letters of commendation went to Judy Leno, Jack Quinn, Edward Stefanik, James Michalek. and Gerald Cleary. Seniors staffed the editorial groups of both the Sachem and the Minor; Marilyn DeMont and Donna Judd co-edited the yearbook, and Beverly Mickey served as the editor-in-chief of the newspaper. Student govern- ment posts went to Bob Leger and Dale Roberts, who became Student Council President and Student Patrol Captain, respectively; class of- fices were held by Gerald Cleary as president. Bob Leger as vice-presi- 72 dent, Donna Judd as secretary, Ken Affleck as treasurer. In dramatics, theclass play, “My Hands Is Full of Gifts.” featured Jack Quinn as the best actor and Jackie Bouley as the best actress; the school musical, Music Man, starred Julie Haidemenos and Bob Osolinski. The football, basketball, and hockey teams were all league champions as Agawam enjoyed its most successful athletic campaign in many years: in basket- ball, Sam Provo became the first player in the history of the school to score over one thousand points. In world news, after the Ecumenical Council closed, Pope Paul carried the spirit of the Council to the United States as he spoke before the United Nations in New York. The tide of victory seemed to be favoring the United States in Vietnam, although a thirty-day bombing lull and numerous peace missions brought no response from Hanoi. New England remained in the grip of a severe drought; the Great Northeast Blackout paralyzed and puzzled all. India lost another great leader as Lai Bahadur Shastri died suddenly; Nehru’s daughter took the reins of her failing country. Le Grand' Charles narrowly avoided being voted out of office as director of France’s pursuits, and Kwame Nkrumah fooled everyone by becoming a man with two countries. The nation’s economy surged, and the Great Society finally approached being a reality. The memories are great, but they are only memories; the promise of the future is within our grasp. During these four years we have seen many things, from the conquest of space to the achievement of the affluent society. Would you believe that four years have already passed? Would you believe three years? Long after graduation severs the bonds among us, we will be able to look back and say that these were very good years.

Smith Chapter of the National Honor Society at Agawam High School was established to stimulate an interest in scholarship, to promote leadership, to encourage responsibility toward the school and community, and to develop the character of Agawam High students. Candidates for chapter membership must have attended Agawam High for at least one semester, have an accumulative average of 85 per cent in all major subjects, and be a responsible school student. A chapter council, consisting of the principal and five faculty members including the advisor, elect the members. Now Members are added semi-annually when the council meets. A tea and an assembly are held in the members’ honor in the fall, at which time they receive their National Honor Society pins. OFFICERS and ADVISOR: Miss Jane Durkan. Advisor; Robert Osolinski.

Student Council PURPOSE: The Student Council, an organization of students directly elected by the student body, attempts to act as a liaison group between the administration and the student body. The success of the council depends on three factors: (1) an interested administration; (2) an interested advisor; (3) interested council members. This year the Council’s activities have included co-sponsoring the Faculty-Senior basketball game and sponsoring a Computer Dance. Special recognition should be given to Gerald Cleary who served as President of the Western Massachusetts Association of Student Councils. Gerald performed admirably and will serve as an example for future Association officers. OFFICERS and ADVISOR: Walter McCarthy.

FRESHMEN Marsha Kida, Ellic Harrington, Peggy Gravelinc, Debbie Morse, Ann Marie Borgatti. Gail Arnold F ootball The 1965 Agawan High School football team will be remembered as the first team which gave Agawam both an undefeated record and the coveted AA championship title for the second straight year. Led by senior standouts Ron Young, Bill Polopek, John Connelly, Sam Provo, Bob Carr, Den- nis McGrevy, and Rick Progulske, the team displayed aggressive and determined football by rolling over all its opponents by comfortable margins. Other seniors playing leading roles in the victory march were Frank Morassi, Steve Cincotta, Doug Bodman, and John Wiley. The highlights of the season were climaxed with the annual West Side game at which Agawam won a 32-8 victory. This game also marked the third year in sucession in which Agawam has beaten West Side, thus retiring the West Side-Agawam .Elks trophy. Another milestone achieved by the Agawam team was its record of 18 straight AA Conference victories. The importance of any successful team is the coaching staff, and Agawam was ably guided by Mr. Harry Leonardi, Mr. Cliffe Kibbe, Mr. Jim Bruno, and Mr. Walter McCarthy. The underclassmen also contributed much to the team’s success, and the experience they received this year will prove valuable in future games. I v Ron Young Sam Provo John Connelly Bill Polopek Dennis McGrevy Frank Morassi Senior Line-Up Doug Bodman Steve Cincotta John Wiley Rick Progulske Bob Carr 130 M try The newly formed Harriers, led by senior captain Don Creamer, displayed a fine record -of 5 wins and 4 losses. Don Creamer and Paul Faits highlighted the season by alternating first and second positions on the team. Other promising senior runners were Roger Adams and Doug Parker. Underclassmen who showed a great deal of potential included Paula Cimma, Paul Litchfield, Mark Ratcliffe, Wareen Roberts, Bob Williamson, and Charles Hackett. Concerning the team, Coach Drabik has said, “The newly formed team met with some success in its initial season and will continue to show improvement in the future.” Basketball Agawam’s 1965-1966 basketball team won the Valley Wheel title for the first time in thirty-one years. After compiling a fine 14-7 overall record, including a 10-2 record in the Wheel, the team was chosen to play in the Western Massachusetts Basketball Tournament. High points of the season were the two victories over East Longmcadow: we won 66-65 in over-time play, and we clinched the title with a 77-67 victory in the second game. Still another high point was senior co-captain Sam Provo’s reaching the 1000-point mark in the Ludlow game. Sam Provo led the scoring with an outstanding 22.5 average, followed by senior co-captain Bob Leger with a 15.6 average. Dave Wright led the team in rebounds with 372, followed by Leger with 206. Leading the assist parade were .senior Bill Polopek with 99 and Sam Provo with 74. Field goal percentage leaders were Dave Wright and senior Bob Carr. Because starter Dan Maslanka was injured, Bill Eggleston started for the last half of the season and helped spark the team to the championship. The Valley Wheel title was won with a team effort which could not have existed without the support of seniors Bob Carr. John Connelly, and Dennis McGrevy, and underclassmen Steve Blackburn, Paul Fails, and Mike Wilson. Bill Polopek Sam Provo Dave Wright Bob Lcger 134 Mike Wilson Paul Fails Bob Carr Dennis MeGrevy Freshmen John Connelly Sieve Blackburn Bill Eggleston Junior Varsity 135 People say that good things come in threes. This saying was well supported at Agawam where the hockey team won the school’s third championship for the year 1965 1966. For the first time the puck team won the Fay Division Championship with a record of 12-1 3. Ours was the only school in Western Massachusetts with only a single loss for the season. Another important “three” on the team was the three senior players, who performed outstandingly. They were Captain Fran Arnold, forward Joe Barbato, and refenseman Tommy Phaneuf. Still another three players, all juniors, helped the team get out of a few tight spots. They were forwards Alex Stahovich and Roger St. Pierre and goalie Rickie Tonclli. Of all the games, the final Agawam-Pittsfield game was the most exciting as well as the best supported, although our boys tied 2-2. Special credit should be given to Alex Stahovich and Jay Amaral, who got our two goals, and to Joe Barbato, Roger St. Pierre, and Fran Arnold, who assisted. Returning next year is the nucleus of another good team. Forwards include Alex Stahovitch, Roger St. Pierre, Jay Amaral, Brian Rosso, James Ramah, Dante Ferioli, James Chicklas, and Tom Branchini while defensemen include Paul Cimma, Lew Chicklas, and Dave White, and goalies include Rickie Tonclli and Bill Catelotti. The man to whom most credit should be given is Coach Bob Fassnacht, who with the aid of Assistant Coach Roger Haley has made his boys outstanding. Through his efforts they have become a solid working unit. Also this year the Coach has secured for his team the support of the student body, support which meant a great deal to the team, especially when the team was under pressure. For the Coach and his “Mighty Mites” next year seems full of promise and excitement. Baseball Under ihe direction of Coach Joe Faucette, the 1065 baseball team finished with a record of six wins and nine losses. Centerfielder Bill Polopek was awarded a Western Massachus- etts banner for a batting percentage of .396. The Freshman team completed the season by winning eight games and losing seven. Veteran players for the 1966 season included Rick Progulske, ‘Lefty’ Savaria, Mike Wil- son. Bill Eggleston, and tri-captains Sam Provo. Wayne Kerez, and Bill Polopek. Others counted on to bolster the squad were Bill Menard. John Higgins, Larry Roy, Joey Corgan, and Tom Shaker. 143 Wayne Kerez Sam Provo Jim LoMonaco Rick Progulske Bill Polopek 144 Doug Parker Dale Roberts I rack Seniors Track Directed by Coach Henry Drabik, the Agawam High School track team completed a fairly successful 1965 season by establishing a 5-“l record in its competition. Some of the highlights of the season were the defeat of South Hadley, which posed as a strong Valley Wheel threat, the defeat by West Side by one point, and the second place performance of Russ Labbe, Paul Schmalzlc, and Vic Gonyea in the discus event in the Western Massachusetts Carnival. Throughout the season, new school records were established by Warren Roberts in the high jump and 880, Vic Gonyea in the discus, Paul Schmacl .lc in the javelin, Bill Brown in the two mile. Rich Girard in the pole vault, and by the 880 relay team consisting of Don Bragg, Ken Affleck, Tom DeFillipi, and Tom Bartolucci. This year’s team centers around senior captains Ken Affleck, Don Creamer, and John Shepard, and seniors Bob Carr, Russ Labbe, Dennis MeGrevy, Doug Parker, Dale Roberts, and Roger Kida. Coach Drabik is confident that the team will do well, for it has a good balance of participants in all events. 146 Tennis A recent addition to the spring sports program at Agawam High School, the tennis team displayed fine skills in its competi- tion in the City League. Compiling a record of four wins and eight losses, the team presented aggressive competition to all its opponents. Coach Altobelli will he relying on seniors Robert Leger and Harold Lynch and on promising underclassmen Mark Lynds, Steve Brown. Gary Atwater. Ed Morassi, and David Roggi for a successful season this spring. 148 Golf In a narrow win over Longmcadow, the 1965 Agawam High «School golf team won the Valley Wheel championship. After an “under par” performance in the Western Massachusetts Tournament, the team was victorious against Classical, one of the best teams in Western Massachusetts. Returning to form the nucleus of the 1966 team were seniors Rich Eagan, Ron Viens, Mike Gates, Tony Fazio, John Picnkowski, and David Clear)'.
