WE’VE ONLY JUST BEGUN We’ve only just begun to live, White lace and promises A kiss for luck and we’re on our way. We’ve only begun. Before the rising sun we fly, So many roads to choose Westart out walking and learn to run. And yes, we’ve just begun. Sharing horizons that are new to us, Watching the signs along the way, Talking it over just the two of us, Working together day to day Together ... And when the evening comes we smile, So much of life ahead, We’ll find a place where there’s room to grow, And yes, we’ve just begun. 1972 Sachem Agawam High School Agawam, Massachusetts Volume 45 WE’VE ONLY JUST BEGUN 3 To live ...

Each year Miss Hastings supervises the rigorous try-outs which girls interested in becoming A.H.S. varsity cheerleaders must undergo so that they can exhibit their abilities to the judging student body. A junior cheerleader. Mary Morin, industriously works to prepare the gym for the West Side rally. 42 The energetic varsity cheerleaders of Agawam High are Peggy Gacona. Mary Morin. Sandy Haidemenos.

The Brownies started the season in excellent fashion with a stunning 34-0 victory over Greenfield. Although hampered by the injuries to start- ing seniors Frank Santinello. Peter Shibley and Randy White, the Brownies were never really out of a game. Many fine performances can also be attributed to se- niors George Hill. Don Capponcelli. Brad Hedges. Don Young. Tom Locke. Bill Daudelin. and Paul DiDonato. The team compensated well for the positions which had to be replaced. Underclassmen Mark Sterling. Steve Mason. Jeff Locke. Shawn Sullivan, and Dave Mason filled the gap where needed. These and many other future prospects will PROVE to be the making of a championship team in coming years. Mr Mcxteclcwski and Mr. Kibbc transact a play to achieve a trium- phant victory over our opponents. The Brownies prepare to meet any play to conquer their way towards victory. 44 A.H.S. senior members of the Varsity Football Team. VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM CO-CAPTAINS: Don Young. Tom Locke.

Coached by Miss Hastings, the girls improved tremendously during their rookie season. Senior starters were Karen Carruthers. Donna Corbin. Bella Frasco and Susan Ghedi. Up coming juniors in- clude Ann McCaffrey and Holly Garvey. A game against the super faculty was the highlight of the team's season. 47 Donna Corbin, senior Track The 1971 Track team, under the direction of coaches Greg Norton and Peter Frasca. finished second in the league. Senior members who are returning to the track team to try to improve upon last year's record are Ralph Morin. Al Montagna. Frank Grabinski. Ed Rivers. Tom Aequaro. Carl Roberts, and Bob Olson. These distance runners should keep the team in close competition with their opponents. Underclassman. Hal Stuart, will be the work- horse of the squad and will be expected to break many old records as a runner. Junior. Joe Pisano, should also be an asset to the team in the javelin throw. With the graduation of many members of the squad, the team will continue its rebuilding. Al Montagna and Frank Grabinski display their fine hurdling forms. 1971 TRACK TEAM First row. Bob Morin.

The team is now play- ing in the tougher Berry Division and has surprised many hockey fans with its aggressive play. Early in the season, the Brownies fell short of beating Cathedral and Classi- cal by only three goals, and shocked archrivals. West Springfield, with a 1-1 tie. Agawam's senior members. Bill Sapelli and Don Wheeler are expected to be the top goal-getters for the team. Mike Moreau and Jim Nolin have also played a big role in the front line. Senior defensemen. Jay Collina and Bill Mor- rissey were the protectors of junior goalie. Doug Janik. The Brownies’ future looks bright with junior forwards. Tom Ennis, Bud Ramah. Barry Economidy. Jamie Fen- ton, and Rick Loncrini. The defense also appears strong with underclassmen Brian Telford. Scott Brown, and John Martino. The Brownies have an excellent back-up goalie with Gary Brown. Senior defenseman. Bill Lumpy Morrissey prepares for a shot on goal. Senior Jim Nolin streaks after the puck. Co-captain and center-iceman. Oon Wheeler, comes to a quick halt.

Barry Economidy controls the puck long enough to set up another Agawam play. Ski Team The ski team got off to a late start this year as a result of the unco-operative weather conditions. The lack of deep snow required for racing has delayed all the meets of the Western Mass. League. Mr. Joseph, the coach, assisted by Don Filiault. has had the team in vigorous practice and conditioning since November. Senior skiers leading the team are: Bob Meis- ter. Dan Caroleo. Paul Scales. Bob Castellanos, and John Robertson. Returning lettermen are: Greg Meister. Jim Marcus, and newcomers Stan Subotin and George Plante. Judging by their previous records and the experience of the team, it seems Agawam will have another winning season this year. 57 Soccer The Agawam Soccer team had a fine season despite its 4 —8 record. Coach Willard and his assistant Mr. White always kept the team going no matter what the situation. Senior varsity members of the team were Tom Aequaro. Fran Labun. Daryl Mallory. Paul Heppner. Scott Skolnick. Steve Adamski and tri-captains Steve Roberts. Don Wheeler, and Doug Favreau. The team has many good junior members such as Gary Webster. Doug Janik. Tom Ennis. Chris Fuchs, and John Devine. One highlight of the season was Tony DePalma. Tony, who is from Italy, demonstrated his European talents with the soccer ball. But Tony, much to our disappoint- ment. will not be able to play next year because of the league’s eligibility requirements. Crumpett and friends are faithful fans of our soccer team. Senior Daryl Mallory boots the ball away from a frustrated defender. AHS SOCCER TEAM 1972 Kneeling: Chris Fuchs. Tony DePalma. John Devine. Doug Jamk, Gary Webster. Tom Ennis. Tom Byrnes.

Senior Al Montagna Senior Ralph Morin Swim Team In their first year of league competition Agawam’s swim team has done well. Coach Dave Smith is optomistic about the future of the team because of the many under- classmen who will gain experience. This year's varsity members include seniors: Leo Carey. Mark Brodeur. Bob Olson and Andy Torino. Bill Andrews, a junior and co- captain. along with John Kudlic. has been a bright spot for the team this year. Underclassmen Kevin Armstrong. Bob Watt, Paul Randall. Mike Lockwood. Glenn Hastings. Steve Hebert and Bill Gamelli will prove to be invaluable for the team in coming years. Agawam takes a plunge with its first year swim team. Seniors Mark Brodeur. Leo Carey. Mark McLaughlin await their turn to take a dive. Co-captains Bill Andrews and Bob Olson relax before a meet. Competition at its best.

Jim Gibson sparked the Brownies by lead- ing the league in batting. With the coaching abilities of Mr. Gerald Smith and returning lettermen Pete Shibley. Wayne Harring- ton. Bill Sapelli. Mike Moreau. Bill Daudelin. Ed Daudelin. Walter Ugolick. Mark Brodeur. Rick De- Vall. Joe Borowiec. Dave Michalak. Shawn Sullivan, and Dave Rossi, the team has the capabilities and determination to make the 1972 Agawam baseball season, the season to remember .

Coach Roger LeClerc attributes losses to the inbalance of the team. In the past there have been strong players in top positions but the rest of the team couldn’t carry them. Although golf is an individual game, matches are a team effort. This year’s team is one of experience. Returning senior golfers are Ted Oliver. Danny Caroleo. and Jay Collina. Underclassmen showing good potential are Phil Gusek and sophomores Dave D’Amours and Ricky Simonds. Coach LeClerc is looking forward to a winning season with a well-balanced and consistent 1972 team.

This standing entitled the team to participate in the Western Mass Tournament where it won the first round but lost the second to Longmeadow. In the dou- bles tourney, partners Steve Duplessis and Don Wheeler made an excellent showingand finished second. The loss of many fine singles players will cause Coach Zabielski to split up the strong doubles team of Duplessis and Wheeler. As seniors, they will both be playing singles. Joining them will be juniors Paul Trimboli and Ron Ash- ton. Hopefully, this year’s team will follow Agawam's winning tradition. Steve Duplessis demonstrates his backhand return. Don Wheeler lets go with a powerful forehand. 1971 BOYS' TENNIS TEAM Standing: Coach Zabielski. Jim Houlihan. Tom Wyatt. Steve Atwater. Paul Houlihan. Glen Tatro. Mr. Joseph. Kneeling: Gary Desimone.

They began the year with a succcessful bake sale and went on to win the Winter Olympics in November. Other events planned for this year include a class picnic and a spring dance. The sophomores will order their class rings in May. bringing them one step closer to becoming upperclassmen. The class of 1974 seems to have the winning formula for a successful class.

The Prom, with the theme being Scarborough Fair , was held at the High Point Motor Inn in the form of a dinner dance. The class's major triumph was their victory at the West Side rally, when their creative art work won the contest for decorations. The lucrative activities of the class officers in- cluded a bake sale and a spring dance. The offi- cers, Nancy George, president; Leean Hart, vice- president: Peggy Gacona. secretary; and Victor Ramah. treasurer were able to work their ideas into impressive and successful social affairs.

Deborah Turner Sparkling brown eyes petite excitable blue Debbie ■ Clifford Mitchell 1953-1971 He was bright He was happy Always laughing and amused. He was loving He was cheerful And his parting left us confused. Though his spirit still surrounds us His silent thoughts are not of man For he has left our earthly vision And journeyed to a heavenly land. But no matter how far away he wanders From far away depths to distant sky His spirit is a part of us And that part will never die. Diane Sahovey Senior Directory Robert V.

Music and lyrics by Anne Marie Carey and Jackie Ryer 171 Class History — Class of 1972 Unsure, yet unafraid, the class of 1972 stepped through the doors of A.H.S. for the first time in September of 1968. Now. as the graduating class of Aga- wam High, we proudly reflect upon our fond memories and accomplishments. Appointing competent leaders was the first responsibility of the class. Elected to be freshmen officers were: Michael Ramah. president: Nancy DeCosmo. vice-president: Linda Howe, treasurer: and Pam Wing, secretary. Following a sit-down strike in 1968 and much controversy, the dress code was modified, allowing girls to wear pants to school. A psychedelic dance with the featured band. Sharper Edge of Dull” was our first fund raising activity. The profit from the dance and the concession at the Winter Carnival, held in February, helped establish a treasury to assure a bright future. Our sophomore year was ably guided by Mike Ramah after he successfully completed the job the preceding year. Nancy DeCosmo was re-elected vice- president: Maureen Amaral became secretary and Pam Wing, treasurer. New ideas and activities rose among the class. The Longmeadow-Agawam ex- change dance provided the opportunity for schools to combine personalities. Agawam High School successfully led the way toward the hockey and basket- ball championships. Although the year was full of triumph it was also sad- dened by the retirement of Mr. Harris. Junior year ushered in many changes. Leadership, in the hands of George Hill, president: Cindy Ekstedt. vice-president: Ann Kazantis. secretary: and Pam Wing, treasurer: changed the pace of the class. Mr. Tatro became princi- pal. succeeding Mr. Harris and taking on the great responsibility of guidance and management. Tradition was broken when the Junior-Senior Prom. At- lantis”. organized by Beverly Orr and Barbara Cariani. was held outside the school at Shaker Farms Country Club in Westfield. Another first for the class and school was our successful Fat concert held in the auditorium. In the music department Kathy Jones admirably displayed her acting talents as “Babe , the leading role in Pajama Game . Our junior year came to a close with a new step taken in school government. The A.H.S. Student Advisory Council, made up of members from the sophomore, junior and senior class- es. faculty and administration was established. Senior year began with the traditional back to school dance sponsored by the senior class. It was held in the courtyard, a first for A.H.S.. and featured Hot Moose”. Officers: George Hill, president: Cindy Ekstedt. vice-president: Bar- bara Swiderski. secretary: and Pam Wing, treasurer, helped the Advisory Council to form plans for an Open Campus Policy. Tony Calvanese and John Guiel represented the senior class in the organization of this policy. The Kid Party was celebrated in full party style on the seventeenth of December. Musi- cally inclined Laura Wylie was chosen as the female lead in the A.H.S. produc- tion of The Sound of Music”. The first annual Carnation Sale for Valentine's Day was another first for the class of 72. Carnations were sold to locker lov- ers and practical jokers alike, while the profits boosted the senior class trea- sury. The last activity of the class as a whole was the Senior Banquet, held on June 2. June 6. 1972 saw the illustrious members of the golden class of 1972 bid fond farewell to the hallowed halls of AHS.. The class of 72 is the 50th graduating class of Agawam High School. We be- gan a new decade with our entrance into first grade, twelve years ago. In grad- uating from college, four years from now. we shall celebrate the 200th anni- versary of the birth of our nation. The memories of the past still echo down the halls, yet the future holds new and exciting experiences for all. 177 “The Sound of Music” Working together day to day ... together DIRECTORY: Martha Heyl and Editor Susan Heywood.

Class of 1973 Producing a Yearbook Is as easy as A Y To the casual reader a yearbook is often simply an album of pictures with written text. Merely ink on paper . though nice to own and enjoy. But to the staff and adviser the yearbook means much more. For yearbook work comprises a multi- tude of details: Layout, Art, Photography, Copy, Typography, Covers and Binding, (not to mention the small detail of money-raising). Highly technical and often time-consuming and a source of anxiety to a staff unless the publisher's representative is trained to give needed help and suggestions. At American your publisher's representative is a member of the school's yearbook team. He is skilled in the many facets of yearbook work, having at his fingertips the answers to yearbook problems as well as a multitude of ideas. He is always there when you need him. This is why we say Publishing a Yearbook is as simple as AYC. American Yearbook Company Box 209 Forest Park Station Springfield.

The 1972 Sachem Staff could not have expressed this year in better words than. We've Only Just Begun (Co- pyright 1970. Irving Music. Inc: Williams Nichols). Throughout this book, we hope that many treasured moments will be relived. Our purpose was to link the past with the present and if anyone relives a moment they cherish, then we have attained our goal. On behalf of the 1972 Sachem Staff. I would like to express my sincere thanks to the following people: Mr. Donald Lendry. American Yearbook Representative: Mrs. Mary Leitch. Loring Studios: and my special thanks of appreciation to Mr. David Pulaski, Advisor and Photographer. Editor Sometimes, not often enough We reflect upon the good things And those thoughts always center around those we love And we think about those people Who mean so much to us And for so many years will make us So very happy And I count the times we have forgotten To say Thank you And just how much we love him.
