Under the direction of Coach Joe Faucette, the 1967 team com- piled a frustrating 6-10-1 record. The kev to this year’s success lies in speed. And. as Coach Faucette puts it. “We’ve got speed to spare. Most of this speed will come from seniors Mike Makuch, Captain Paul Cimma, Brian Rosso, and Bill Melbourne, as well as newcomers Bob Gokev, Gary Melbourne, and Bob Frank. In addition, the de- fense will l e bolstered bv “sure-handed” Joe Corgan at shortstop. John DeLuc- chi in the outfield, and Rich Sagan at first base. This year’s pitching staff will consist of three left-handed seniors: Alan Smith, Jerry Polmer. and John Wylie. Practice will place emphasis on improving the defense and adding more punch to the offense. Coach Faucette feels that hard work, coupled with desire, will insure a successful season. John Wylie 20 Jim Collins Brian Rosso George Skowera 21 Gcrrv Pohncr Mike Nfakuch “Experience Is The Key’’ The Agawam High Track squad, coached by Mr. Henry Drabik and Mr. Edward Stentaford, completed a very successful 1967 season with an 8-2 record. The season was highlighted by a close victory over a highly successful South Hadelv team and by a high placing in the Western Massachusetts Track Car- nival. Records were set in the ‘67 season by Warren Roberts in the high jump, Larry Fay in the 180 low hurdles and Mark LoMonaco in the 120 high hurdles. The 1968 team will center around tri-captains Larry Fay. Mark LoMonaco and Ken Whit- man as well as seniors Dcwayne Raynor. Bob Casal. Al Mercadante, Bob Drewnowski, Norm Caron. Cary Roberts. Gary Melloni and Ron Boulev. Experienced under- classmen who have received letters and will l e returning are Walter Grezbien, Joe Giordano. Gordie MacPherson, Don Smith, Richard Brandoli. Brian Blackburn and Paul Gregouli. Ken Whitman Dcwayne Raynor 22 Fred Art «so Larry Fav Boh Drewnowski Mark IxtMonaco Ron Boulcy A! Mercadante 23 “Bring Home The Cup” The 1967 Agawam High School golf team, with a rec- ord of 12 wins against 5 losses, enjoyed a most success- ful season, placing second in the Valley Wheel. And, with five lettermen returning from last year’s sextet. Coaches Harmon Smith and Chet Xicora feel the 1968 team will he a strong contender for the “Wheel” title. Most of the team’s scoring touch will center around the top four”: Captain Jay Amaral, Tom Kranchini. Jimmy Chicklas and Kenny Stawacz. The fifth and sixth posi- tions w ill lie “up for grabs” to juniors Hay Kossi. Mike DiDonato and Alan Wright. The last time the golf team won the Wheel was in 1965. It is our hope that the 196S squad can bring the cup home to Agawam once again. 24 Jim Chickla Jay Amaral “Young, But Promising” The 1967 Agawam High Tennis team compiled a record of 16 wins and four losses to place third in Wes- tern Massachusetts competition. Al- though there will he onh two seniors on the '68 squad. Captain Ed Morassi and Dave Poggi, Coach Rudy Alto- l� elli feels that a strong nucleus of support will he provided hv experi- enced underclassmen: Tom Lennek, Louie Bonavita. Jim Houlihan and Steve Meister. Paul Houlihan, a promising freshman prospect, is ex- pected to add to the team's strength in the 68 season. Despite its youth. Coach Altohelli predicts that his squad will better its 1967 performance. David “Continued Success” The Cross Country Team coached by Mr. Henry Drabik enjoyed its finest season in its short three year history. The team compiled an 8-2 record in meet com- petition as well as finishing sixth in the Western Massa- chusetts Cross Country Meet held at the University of Massachusetts. The Agawam cross country men also took first place in the Agawam Invitational Meet in which seven teams participated. Senior Ron Bouley captained the team and along with Norm Caron, Kurt Raschi, Dewayne Raynor, and Ken Whitman contributed to the success of the squad. Coach Drabik is looking forward to next year’s season and is putting a great deal of faith in Paul Greguoli who was this year’s most outstanding underclassman. 26 Ken Whitman Ron Bouley Norm Caron Cary Melloni Kurt Raschi The disheartening statistical record of two wins, five losses, and one tie does not present an accurate picture of the Brownie football season. Although the team experienced the disappoint- ment of defeat, they played each game with a driving determination to win. The Brownies faced a difficult and de- manding schedule in this year's league action, and their margins of defeat were often slight. Thrilling, yet frustrating moments in the season came with the tie against Chicopee and the loss to Holyoke in the final seconds of the game. Hie 20-6 defeat of West Side by the Brownies proved to l)e the season's highlight. This victory marked the fifth consecutive year that Agawam has defeated its traditional rival. Under the leadership of captains Bob DeFilipi. Al Mercadante, and Vic Moreno, the team displayed both courage and sportsmanship. Other hardworking seniors who contributed to this year's effort were Dave Bias ton, Larry Fay. Mark LoMonaco. Brian Ormsby, and Steve Buvnicki. The tireless and inspirational guidance of coaches Harry Leonardi, Cliff Kibbe. John Janis ewski. and Howard Murphy instilled the 1967 football team with the spirit to meet the challenges of a trying season.

Varsity Freshmen “SUCCESS TIMES THREE” Main people seem to tlnnk that good thiol's come m threes. Those who are aware of the winning hockey teams Agawam High has iced for the past three years will most assuredly agree with this notion. Tlie I9t . -fi6 season saw the Brownie six win the first hockey title in the school's histoiv. Last year they proved to he the second liest team in Western Mass, by skating off with the Consolation Cup in the Western Massachusetts Hockey Tournament. This year, coaches Boh Fassnacht. Roger Haley, and Jack Konasck guided their changes to their second Fas Division title in three years, assuring them of a tour- nament lierth for the third straight year with strong possibilities of going to Boston to vie for the state crown. The hixkey team compiled the best record in Western Massachu- setts by solidly heating the opposition sixteen times and losing only once. This year’s sextet poured more goals through opposing nets than any team in Western Mass, and at the same time, had the least amount of goals scored against them. Five Brownie pockmen finished among the top ten scorers in the Fas Division. High-scoring seniors Brian Rosso. Jav maral. and John Wvlie finished first, second, and third respectively in the loop's scoring race, while junior winger Tom Branchini and senior defenseman Paul Cimma wound up in the fifth and eighth spots respectively. Senioi Mike Makuch turned in fine efforts throughout the season. Jim Chicklas and Vic Moreno kept the opposition honest by protecting goalie Mike Crasso who turned in splendid performances in front of the Brownie twine. With mans underclassmen returning for next sear's squad. Couch Fassnacht should Ih able to mold another title team . It is our ho| e that these boys will strive to defend the division crown and keep it in Agasvam svhere it belongs. Victor Moreno Brian Rosso Michael Crasso James Chicklas John Wiley Joseph Amaral 37 “A CLOSE RACE” Tilt high school Varsity basketball team tried its best to achieve the coveted Valley Wheel title. It was a close race all the way. and Aga- wam had its shining moments. Despite the commanding lead held by Enfield during one of the crucial games near the end of the season, the Brownies showed their prowess by winning in the final seconds of a truly memorable game. I nder the feadership of Captain Paul Vero- nesi. the Kiblic Klan displayed outstanding sportsmanship and spirit which led them to a Wheel record of 15 wins. 5 losses placing them second in league competition. Captain Paul Veronesi undoubtedly lived up to predictions that he would be high point man on the team. Jerry Pohner’s outstanding re- Innind power was a definite asset to the team. The team victories would not have been jjossible without backcourt aces Kev Littlefield and Bob DeFilipi, who were responsible for setting up plays. Also in- strumental to the success of the team were Richard Brindfe and Nor- man Caron. Though the Varsity finished second in the Valley Wlieel, the Junior Varsity, under the leadership of Mr. (Jerald Smith, took first place in its league. Mr. Clifford Kinbe and Mr. Gerald Smith’s dedication throughout the season inspired the Varsity and J.V. squads to give 1(X % effort in every game.

Through observation trips, films, speakers in education, and meaningful dis- cussions. members are made aware of teaching methods. Under the direction of Mrs. Frances Libiszewski, ex- change meetings are held with area schools. This year s highlight was an observation day at the experimental school at the University of Massachusetts. The annual banquet for all club members closed the year’s activities. 44 Literary Club The only requirement for membership in the Literary Chib is the enjoyment of reading. At periodic meetings, members share their varied reading experiences by discussing lx)oks with one another. Yet the club does not merely confine it- self to the reading and discussing of books: it also makes trips to libraries and bookshops as well as to view stage plays. This year the club, accompanied by Mrs. Miriam Mackler and Mrs. Dorothea Nardi, enjoyed productions of The Class Menagerie and The Man of La Mancha. Future Nurses Club The nursing career requires trulv devoted people. It is the objective of the FNC to indi- cate to students interested in nursing the chal- lenges and rewards of this field. Trips to local hospitals, speakers explaining the career, and interesting films provide the future nurses with insight and information. The club, ad- vised by Mrs. Marjorie Kelly and Mrs. Cather- ine llailaman, also undertakes projects involv- ing hospital work. 45 DRAMA CLUB Learning the art of expression through words and ac- tions sums up the purpose of the Drama Club. At peri- odic meetings. Mrs. Sarah Peavey, advisor, as well as professionals in the field of drama explained the essen- tials of acting, directing, makeup, and the staging of plays. Memtars gained a keener insight of the art 1 viewing performances at the University of Massachu- setts and the new Stage West. The productions of “The Mouse That Roared and “South Pacific” offered these drama enthusiasts the opportunity to utilize the knowl- edge and skills which they acquired throughout the year. 46 LIBRARY STAFF The library st.itf is an efficient t'rimi� of students dedicated to makim' the facilities of the librarx available to both teachers and students.

The AVA club goes into full swing, adding audio-visual aid to various classes, taking care of the equipment, and running movies for the benefit of students. The service provided by this or- ganization has proven invaluable to the teacher in the classroom as well as to the entire school. A vote of thanks is given to Mr. Boland Pressey and Mr. John Burns for their efficient guidance of this organization. 48 CAMERA CLUB Creative photography is the aim of Mr. Pulaski and his shutterbugs. At each meeting the members dis- cuss various aspects of photography in an attempt to improve their skills and acquire more knowledge. The club strives to become familiar with various types and uses of photogra- phic equipment. Members are also encouraged to submit their photo- graphs in national exhibits, thus gain- ing valuable experience. At their an- nual field trip, the Camera Club participants are given an opportuni- ty to utilize the information they have acquired throughout the year. 49 ART CLUB The purpose of the Art Club, super- vised by Miss Geraldine Schilling, is to promote an interest in the expressive and creative phases of art and to allow the student to participate in many con- structive experiences. One of the major projects of tne club in the past year was the construction of a life-size Creche scene which was displayed in front of the school during the Christmas season. Members also arc to be commended for their work on the scenery for the op- eretta and the prom. A highlight of this year’s activities was a trip to New York at which time members had the op- portunity to visit major art museums. The Art Club also sponsored a unique fund-raising campaign; they auctioned various mcmorablia of celebrities in the entertainment field. 50 RED CROSS The Red Cross is devoted to assis- ting the less fortunate. Members of this organization combine their tal- ents with a sincere interest in peo- ple and undertake projects to help those in need. This year, the club, decorated the Holyoke Soliders’ Home at Halloween and Easter, en- tertained the servicemen at West- over Air Force Rase during the Christmas season, and sponsored a party at the South End Community Center. In addition, the Red Cross continued its project to aid in the building of a school in Honduras. Mrs. Helen Krajewski served as ad- visor to the group. DANCE BAND Jazz, show tunes, swing, current hits—a varied repertoire which is indicative of the versatility of the Dance Band. Composed of students who have displayed musical ability, the Dance Band per- forms at school assemblies as well as at other so- cial functions. This year the band directed by Mr. Raymond Suzor was an essential element of the production of “South Pacific”. The group also played at the annual exchange concert. 51 STUDENT COUNCIL The object of the Student Council is twofold: to es- tablish and maintain school customs and traditions as well as to act as a liaison lx;tween the student Ixxlv and the administration to achieve better understanding. Members are elected at large bv all four classes and meet weekly to discuss ideas to improve the school. The Council, under the leadership of President Joanne De- Mont and Advisor Mr. Walter McCarthy, has undertak- en a score of activities this year. Included on its roster were contributing to Care, a movie for elementary stu- dents. a dance Do You Believe in Magic , a raffle for scholarship funds, and attendance at state and local as- sociation meetings. Because of its role in governing the school and coordinating school activities, the Council provides its members with experience and a working knowledge of the democratic process. 52 STUDENT PATROL Under the guidance of Mr. Peter Mazza. the Student Patrol aids the administration in solving the problems that arise throughout the school year. Its primary objective is to maintain order in the seeming confusion of the crowded corridors and to assist in the lunchroom. Members also serve as student guides for visitors and parents’ nights. Through its weekly meetings led by Captain Kevin Little- field. the Student Patrol has attempted to come to grips with the major problems of the school and has proven to l e a positive influence upon the student IxkIv. MIRROR A candid view of Agawam High School is offered by the Mirror . It is a collection of highlights each month, a l ehind- the-scenes glimpse of our students and faculty. An innovation in this year's paper is the pictorial col- lage which offers a panoramic view of the school scene. During the football season, the Mirror Staff sponsored its annual Shout or Pout Dance” and sold football programs. To earn additional money for the paper, the staff also sponsored a jewelry and sta- tionery sale. Under the leadership of editor Brian Ormsby and ad- visor Mr. John Burke, the news- paper increased its publications to 10 issues in 1967-68. MATH CLUB The Math Club is organized for students who are interested in gaining further in- sight into the field of Mathematics.

Lectures are also presented on se- lected topics pertaining to differential and integral calculus. To make their study of math more meaningful, Mr. Edward Sten- taford, advisor, arranged for the meml ers to visit various computer centers. CHESS CLUB The good-natured threats of check ’ and “checkmate” can frequently be heard emanating from Room 11 where lx th experienced and novice members meet after school to improve their skills. Although a relatively new club, the competitive spirit runs high as members attempt to outwit one anoth- er with well-planned maneuvers. The Chess Club advisor Miss Mary Zya- rowski assists the group in perfecting their strategems. 55 HONOR SOCIETY The Eleanor H. Smith chapter of the National Honor Society recog- nizes those junior and senior students who have attained academic ex- cellence. are of good character, and have served the school.

New memlrers were inducted in February at the annual assembly and were honored at the coffee hour which followed. CHORALE The Agawam High School Chorale is a selected group of fifty members.

Through films and personal instruction, the group was shown how to improve their skiing acumen. Periodic jaunts to Mt. Tom and a weekend trip to Mt. Ascutney offered the ski enthusiasts opportunities to perfect their ability. By advising the Ski Club, Mr. Ray- mond Suzor has met the demand of the growing interest in the sport of skiing. 62 GYM CLUB The Cirls's Gym Club supplements the regular gym classes through its after school meetings.

Stu- dents are given a chance to express them- selves in French and to learn about France through movies, speakers, and participa- tion in their many activities. Mrs. Florence Strasbourg advises the French Club, and this year, she was assisted by Monsieur Mondher M’Rad, a language aid from Tunisia. 66 EL ESPANOL CIRCULO meXico “liable espanol? The romance of Spain transmits an air of excitement— the basis of the Spanish Club. Stu- dents who enjoy speaking Spanish are welcomed to join this informative club, where emphasis is placed on speaking the language and learning about Spanish culture through films, guest speakers, and interesting pro- ductions of club mem! ers.

The Class In the past drama of school life There is one player— A man quietly discerning; Whom we remember as Tlie involved gentleman. Perched on a desk top or Anxiously pacing the floor— This man has guided our success With devotion . . . tempered by wit. He is remembered, revered— A man subtle, but dynamic. 90 Of 1968 Dedicates To . There are more words to praise this man Than we have paper to write; It would take reams to fully explain Our feelings of thanks and love— This man’s enthusiasm spread Over us students and the school: From the position of class advisor To a patient and helpful teacher. In his classroom his “Irish wit” helped Put a student at ease; hut yet We never lost the effect of his teaching. He always tried to help and promote The welfare of all us students. In Mr. Sheehan we found more than a teacher: An individual who made our four years At Agawam High School worth-while. 91 T- Proud Be The Seniors, Yesterday Young, Now So Soon Mature, And Tomorrow?

The planning and development for each of the four stages have combined the tire- less efforts of many individuals in order to insure its successful launching. 10 ... 9 ... 8 . . . The first stage, freshman year, was built upon memories. The freshman class dance, school lunches accompanied by piped in music, and fans cheering the “Brownies” to the AAA League championship reflected the sturdy foundation of this craft. “The Ugly Duckling , the freshmen and sophomore entry in the inter-class competition, was also a highlight of the year. 7. ..6. ..5... The second stage, sophomore year, was one of progressive achievement. Repre- senting Agawam High School at the Model Congress at AIC were Gerald Alfano and Mark Maniscalchi. 1966 was the year that the hockey, basketball, and football squads won top honors in their respective divisions. A candid portrayal of the school and town, the “D.W.P. Production , and a hilarious satire of “Batniania were unique assemblies that year. Mr. Pulaski led the sophomore class to victory over Mr. Winston and the freshmen in the spectacular Greenfield football rally. Always on the move, members of the class of 68 broadened their cultural scope by viewing Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar at Stratford. 4 ... 3 ... 2 . . . The third stage, junior year, was one of mixed emotions. Receiving our class rings, we truly felt that we were upperclassmen. Enthusiasm grew as again “the Brownies had a victorious season. The four classes participation with the Red Cross in the raising of funds to construct a school in Honduras was one of the most gratifying ex- periences of the year. The prom committee chose the romantic theme “Somewhere My Love”, and Nancy Wiley reigned queen over the gala festivities. Breaking away from the ties of the traditional Cabaret, the class of 1968 will l)e rememl ered for their innovation of a “battle of the bands. Apprehensively, we took our college lx ards and anxiously waited for the results of our efforts. Proudly we sent Holly Kistner and Paul Veronesi as representatives of the class of 1968 to Girls’ and Boys’ State. The year ended on a poignant note with the retirement of three faculty members. Mr. Frederick Dacey, Miss Eleanor Miller, and Miss Mary O’Brian. 1 . . . 0 . . . The nose cone, senior year, had a fiery start with the senior dance, held two days after the opening of school. The inaguration of a rotating schedule by principal Ray- mond Harris set the tone for the class of motion, 1968. The arrival of class hats and shirts intensified the feeling of unity which seniors experience in their final year of high school. Still on the move, we journeyed to Stratford in the fall to see Shake- speare’s Macbeth and in the spring to see the Bard’s As You Like It. We enjoyed the festivities of Christmas at the Senior Kid Party, our last chance to relive our carefree childhood. The exchanging of class pictures deepened the feeling of affec- tion among friends as they reminisced about the past and speculated about the fu- ture. Agawam High School lost more than a teacher; it lost a friend, when Mr. Jo- seph Faucette left the school system. As a final farewell, the class of 1968 congregat- ed at Betty’s Towne House for the Senior Class Banquet. Finally with graduation comes the full realization of the meaning of our high school years and the anticipa- tion of future explorations and the . . .

College Boards, PSAT and IQ tests, and in- duction into the National Honor So- ciety. In contrast to the apprehen- sion and anxiety of the academic life, the juniors experienced the ex- citement of receiving class rings and the enchantment of the prom, Rhapsody in Blue”. With the close of the 1968 school year, the juniors looked forward with anticipation to their final year at Agawam High School.

Dale Bowes Sophomores Having become an integral part of the high school, the Sophomore class expressed its enthusiasm through active participation in sports, through attendance at school events, and through academic excel lence. C'oordinat i ng the class' activities were Barry Cleary, president; Gale Sulliv an, vice-president; Jean Crcssotti. secretary; and Delora Argiro, treasurer. I’nder the able guidance of Mr. Gerald Griffin, the class sponsored a concession stand at home basketball games. That the Sophomore class held a psychedelic dance shows its awareness of the contemporary scene. The Class of 1970 has proven itself capable of accepting the responsibilit ies which upperclassmen must assume. Gail Arnold, vice president.

Freshmen From the first class meeting at the out- set of their high school career through the selection of homeroom representatives and the collection of dues, the Freshmen Class has proven itself capable of assum- ing the responsibility necessary to func- tion successfully. A food sale held during the Christmas holidays was their first venture toward building up their treasury. Under the supervision of advisor Mr. Wal- ter Willard, the freshmen also sponsored an “Olde But Goode” Dance.

What bet- tef words could we use to descrilxe our class? Our initial two years as underclassmen were spent participating in class activities. As juniors and especially as seniors, we upperclassmen were caught up in the whifl of motion. It is this motion that we have attempted to capture in the 1968 Sachem. If we were able to relive one moment for just one person, then our staff has reached its goal. The 1968 Sachem staff would like to thank the following people for their assistance: Mr. Donald Lendry, American Yearlxjok Rep- resentative; Mr. Edward Carlson, Ixxring Studios; Mr. David Pu- laski, Mrs. Miriam Mackler, Mr. Blvnn.and especially Mr. Rolxert Peters, advisor.
