It was morning and the new sun sparkled gold across the ripples of a gentle sea The years ahead hummed and glowed with promise. We were determined to go still higher tomorrow. New sights, new thoughts, new questions. Talking quietly with us all, a teacher would help us understand. We would choose our next world through what we learned in this one. There is so much to learn! One school was finished, and the time had come for another to begin. We gave one last look across to where we had learned so much. We smiled and we thought. Our race to learn had begun. 1974 Sachem Agawam High School Agawam, Massachusetts Volume 47 New questions . . . We were just beginning •p IUIS ENGLISH Mrs Rosemary Stratton.

However, since it falls on us to reflect the 73-74 year at AHS, we feel we must convey the growing feeling of apathy concerning school activities in general; clubs and organizations in specific. Many students feel that school offers them nothing to do outside of the usual academic curriculum, yet when they are presented with opportunities to get involved and change the current forms of many extracurricular activities, they refuse to do so. If the complaint is that these clubs are meaningless, then who is to blame but the student body for not making them meaningful? How can students remain apathetic to their opportunities to change the quality of AHS life, when they recognize that change is desperately needed? How can our liberal minded students support the idea of involvement as presented by the war demonstrations of a few years ago, and the impeach Nixon” concern, and still remain completely ignorant of their immediate surroundings? We at the yearbook find the inconsistency appalling. Here lie the lasting remains of (from left to right) the Biology Club. Camera Club, the Personality Club, the Future Teachers Club, the Chemistry Club, the Environment Club, and the Literary Club. etc. deceased due to neglect on the part of the AHS student body. May they be better appreciated where they are now. “All that we have is taken for naught, till we have it no more.” 35 Anonymous MUSIC The vocal department of music at AI IS, including Madrigals, Chorale, and Choralettes, was as beneficial as always to those who were involved in it’s pro- gram and who appreciated what it had to offer. The Chorale, the main performing group, was kept active during the year. The now-traditional activities included Sing Out, the Exchange with another high school music group in the nearby states, and major participation in the operetta. Patti Haynes, Bill Lindsay. Jon Fournier, Carolyn Misli, Ginger Skovholt, and Dori Chmielewski headed up the list of officers. Madrigals and Choralettes, off-shoots of Chorale, gave the more individualistic touch to music. Both groups participated in a Christmas program at the Kastfield Mall, and a day of entertaining the troops” at local elementary schools. Mrs. Mary Callahan again availed her talents to the Chorale as advisor. EASE REI NCIPAL'sl TERING J BAND The Agawam High Marching Mohawks” Band, through the excellent instruc- tion of Mr. Darcy Davis, has had another successful year. They won a number of parade awards, and qualified for the National Marching Field Competition at Philadelph ia. Honors won by the band and Color Guard during the fall were the Best Color Guard award at the Holyoke Centennial Parade, and the Best Band trophy at the Columbus Day Parade. Agawam proudly took fifth place honors at the Philly Con- test in the afternoon parade competition. Band officers John Nascembcni. Elaine Gregory, Donna Hulse, and Steve Bai- ley helped execute an AHS first, the Marchathon.” The band was able to raise over $4,000 toward their expenses in attending the national contest. Also new this year were sophomores in the Color Guard. Considering it s hard work and effort, the Mohawk” band can be considered an asset to Agawam. :illl!!lllll!llll!ll!iraim9!iiRi”H9JI at i OFFICE OF STUDENT AFFAIRS The 1974 Office of Student Affairs was marked by a desire to provide those en- tertaining events which one remembers long after the last iota of Ancient History disappears from the mind, as well as a commitment to fulfill the wishes of the stu- dent body and to resolve conflicts between the administration and the students. Activities initiated by the Office included the traditional Winter Olympics on the week before Christmas vacation, as well as a bake sale and movie that same week. A Bike-a-thon scheduled for the Spring and a student lounge also were planned on by the Office. The money raised by these various activities was used toward schol- arships for senior members of the OSA and to aid the financial situation of the Se- nior class. LIBRARY STAFF Once again, the Library Staff has proved itself inva' ' ' ' smooth functioning of the library. With the coming of many new books this year, the staff was kept busy filing cards and shelving books. Yet not all time was spent at work. Raising money for graduating staff seniors and enjoying a field trip took the spotlight from books for awhile. Ms. Charlotte Shimel, advisor, and Mrs. Catherine O’Keefe arc also to be commended for keeping the peace during study periods, and for their able assistance to both students and faculty. 16113880 ■ A.V.A. CLUB ■ — The A.V.A. Club, which includes the library and the A.V.A. room provided its aid for the benefit of the community and the school. The students gave much of their time to the assistance of the faculty in setting up projectors, mimeograph- ing and video-taping hockey and girl's basketball games, among many other things. Their civic services ranged from setting up microphones and projectors for clubs such as Unico, to adjusting the lighting for the Agawam theatrical group, the Chalkliners. A.V.A. advisor. Mr. Ralph Zavarella, commented that there was still much potential to be tapped. Capable of opening up “exciting possibilities’’ was the T V. studio, the main acheivement of A.V.A. The A.V.A. provided an indispensable service both to the community and the school, and promises more for the future. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY It's an elite society” is just one way to classify the Eleanor H Smith Chapter of the National Honor Society, according to Miss Jane Durkan, advisor, who by a mathematical theorum shared in the eliteness of the group. This society was created to spark a bit of enthusiasm for what AHS scholasti- cally had to offer, to promote citizenship and tasteful character. It has succeed- ed in making the necessary eightv-five or over average something to work for. and membership something to be proud of. N.H.S. members, reluctant to be honored on stage for their efforts, agreed upon a coffee hour for pins and donuts to be distributed, and a speaker talked to the group. Joanne Morawski, president. Tina Hamel, vice-president, and Eliza- beth Sosnowich headed up the group as Senior officers. MATH LEAGUE To challenge the unbridled brain power of twenty school's selective math students through timed math problems is to be a member of the Math League at AHS. It’s seven members — Mary Gentile, Patti Haynes, Andrew Soffen, Mi- chael Sopet, Mary Loss, Bob Borgatti and Mary Ann Rogers — represented our school at competitions held five times yearly. The league served to bring togeth- er math-orientated students in a competitive atmosphere, and was brightened up by the prospect of a money prize for good performance. Since the league had no officers, Miss Jane Durkan took over organizational responsibilities as advisor. CHESS CLUB Competitive battles between rooks and bishops, pawns and knights, com- prised the meetings of the 1974 Chess Club. The members of the club learned to master strategic moves and the art of chess as a whole, which they proved in the annual tournaments held in the spring. Following in the footsteps of Bobby Fischer this year were president Joanne Whittle, vice-president and treasurer Andrew Soffen, and secretary Fred Sof- fen. Mr. Edward Stentaford, advisor, acted as referree for the matches. Tournaments held after school proved to be exciting, but nerveracking. Only “en passant”, “check”, “castle”, and finally “check mate” broke the member’s deep concentration necessary for the game of chess. Experience and competi- tion were the main objectives for the 1974 Chess Club. JUNIOR CLASSICAL LEAGUE The Junior Classical League was novel, a club unlike any other at AHS. For- merly called the Latin Club, the League was a member of the nation-wide Ju- nior Classical League. The members benefitted by not studying only Latin, but worldwide classical life as well. The advisor Mrs. Mary Charest felt the League encouraged an interest and appreciation of Greek and Roman literature and art among young people. It served to give them some understanding of the debt of our own culture to that antiquity. The members actively delved into the past by recreating the dress, the art and lifestyle of many nations. The League was led in these activities by Joanne Bigda, president; Dawn Corbin, treasurer; and Dawn Paro, secretary. SPANISH CLUB Students who took Spanish and whose intrests were piqued by the views of Spanish culture and geography presented in class inevitably found themselves members of the Spanish Club. Activities included playing games, listening to Spanish music, acting out skits, and listening to different speakers. The high point of the year was at Christmas time, when the club held a fiesta complete with the traditional pinata and a range of Spanish pastries baked by the mem- bers themselves. This year’s officers were — Bill Gamclli, president; Donna Hulse, vice-president; Saudi Bauman, secretary; and Tom Lancour, treasurer. MIRROR STAFF “The Mirror is one of the most vital examples of high school journalism I’ve seen. This quotation is something the Mirror staff can be proud of. especially since it came from their advisor, Mrs. Elizabeth Lasky. As a newcomer this year, she saw the Mirror as, “a very important part of the education process at AI IS. Besides reporting the events, the paper is a for- um for thoughtful opinion on far reaching subjects. With the voting age at eighteen, high school journalism takes on greater responsibility. It’s scope is broadened; its function becomes that more urgent. Tne Mirror seeks to be- come responsive to these new concerns.” The editor-in-chief Virginia Broz felt the 1974 staff did a fine job putting out an impossible ten issues. Somehow the Mirror staff managed to do the impossible very professionally. !

The creative members of the club painted various murals and drawings throughout the school. Under the advisement of Mrs. Sa- dowsky and officers Julie McCaffrey, president; Noreen Krvgowski. vice-presi- dent: Bill Camelli, secretan; and Tom Lancour, treasurer showed their artistic abilities at an art show and exhibit, and travelled to New York City Museums. Also added to their active agenda was the painting of the Agawam Food Mart windows. B the looks of things. Agawam may have produced future Picassos. 9 NS ■ . BUSINESS CLUB The purpose of the Business Club is to organize scholarships for deserving stu- dents enrolled in the Business curriculum. Under the supervision of Mr. Altobelli, the officers this year were: Beth Wislocki, President, Laurie O'Connor, Vice Pres- ident, Sandi Sweet, Treasurer, and Linda Pisano. Secretary. Each year, through money earned from candy sales, bake sales and pure hard work, the members plan a field trip. This year, they went to Boston to sec the government in operation. The members of the Business Club hope to have enough reserve funds to award anoth- er scholarship this year . . . good work! AS SCHOOLS MATCH WITS This year, the hard working As Schools Match Wits team under the able guid- ance of Mr. O'Brien and Mrs. Hamilton suffered a disappointing loss to Amherst. The team of Jeff Orr, Bob Tetreault and Dan Williams under the leadership of captain Mike Walsh worked hard with alternates Nancy Skovolt and Jim Bowden to prepare for the match. Amherst had won three games in a row prior to their match with Agawam and we were just another victim , in the words of Mr. O’Brien. Next year Jeff Orr and Dan Williams will return for their third year on the team with John Kwiat and Dave Kerr as rookies. In future years, Mr. O'Brien hopes to use the T. V. studio in room 18 for practice to simulate actual studio conditions. SKI CLUB A fast moving group at AHS were the members of the Ski Club. Last year they toured France, this year they visited val Gardena. Italy. The major goal of the club is to visit as many different ski areas as possible. The members try to see different countries “on skis , and take advantage of the oppor- tunity to travel. The advisor, Mr. Joseph, believes: “Traveling is as much or more of an education than that gained in a classroom. The main activity of the majority of the club members was their Wednesday skiing at Mt. Tom. These trips as well as those to more distant slopes were super- vised by Mr. Joseph and the officers. Jim Marcus, president; Greg Meister, secre- tary; and Charles Dwyer, treasurer. The ski club is a traveling classroom in a manner of speaking, designed to ac- commodate skiers with lower group rates and opportunities to “see the world”. WEIGHTLIFTING CLUB Advised by Coach Joseph Modzelewski, there is no intrapersonal competition in such an activity as the Weightlifting Club; each member must set a personal goal such as the ’200 Club or even the “300'’ Club. Reasons for joining the club vary from improving one’s physical condition, to staying in shape over the winter, to preparing for another sport. The Weightlifting Club has aided athletes such as Mark DeForge and Phil Jensen in their pre-season preparations as well as helping many students garner physical strength; a worthy purpose. 0 ’OS5 moves o om ioves o noves 'Sop, amoves lPo1 Jionoves' SoTQoves 1 oves_S otShonoves onoves vjj 07V0V sSc k J ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ CLASS OF 1976 One might think that being moved from school to school would damage the cohesiveness of a class, never mind rob them of valuable time in which to raise money for their junior and senior years. This was not the case with the sophomore class. Not only did they survive the move, they managed to make up for lost time and have a very successful year. To boost their stature financially, the class held a concert with Punk as the featured band and a bake sale. Unlike past classes where student apathy was a problem, class president Marc Most remarked that the majority of his class did co-operate in class plans, and the class was able to put on more mon- ey making activities this year. Working with Marc this year were Paula Hardina, vice-president; Pat- ty Lidell, secretary; Caroline Walsh, treasurer; and class advisor Mr. Wayne Morse. This class’ graduation will coincide with the 200th anniversary of the founding of the United States — perhaps the spirit exhibited by the class of 76” is symbolic of the future. Notwithstanding, this class should have a good two years ahead.

In this they are unique, the last of a breed. Ah, for good old, bad old days. The juniors received their rings early in the year, having done so they became upperclassmen, that long awaited rise in status. Having taken this assuredly momentus step, the Junior class officers, Rick Mas- troianni, president; Ann Osolinski, vice president; Kathy Ayre. secretary; and Jane Brodeur, treasurer started planning for their junior prom, entitled, “We May Never Pass This Way Again, a dinner-dance held at Chez Josef.

Agawam’s powerful offensive contained seniors Dave Mason, and Mark Sterling, and was spearheaded by senior workhorse Shawn Sullivan, captain. Game highlights this year were; a 14-12 win over West Side, our eleventh consecutive win over our rivals, a 30-0 win over Tech, a close 6-0 lose to conference champs Chicopee Comp., as well as a 14-12 heartbreaker to Chicopee. Giving excellent offensive blocking were Dan Borkosky. Chuck Doucette. John Martino and Pete Longhi. The defense was keyed by linebacker Jeff Locke, defensive backs Cliff Kibbe. Dave Michalak. Bill Stone and Mark DeForge. Leading the charge of defense were hard work- ing seniors John Bonavita, Scott Barker and Joe Hamah. Aside from five losses this year, Agawan football will experience a greater loss in the retirement of Coach Cliff Kibbe.

The main as- set for Agawam was it’s defense which consisted of Bodurtha. goalie Cary Brown, senior co-captain Mike Walsh, and junior Greg Fuchs. The halfback line was lead by junior Mark Davilli and was highlighted by se- niors Jim Bouley, Joe Gazilloand Doug Heckman. Coach Walter Willard felt the greatest improvement was shown in the forward line, which included under- classmen Tom Dalmolin. two year veteran Jeff McCarl, Kevin Cook, Steve Houlihan and Wayne Mallory. Agawam beat Westfield 2-1 in the team’s first win, with co-captain Bodurtha getting the first goal and Tom Dalmolin getting the winner. At their next meeting. Agawam trounced Westfield 1-0. In the last game of the season, the Brownies surprised a strong Minnechaug team and played to a 1-1 tie. Coach Willard felt Agawam's reason for a poor record was mostly inexperience, with only five returning letter- men from last year. But with twelve men returning and a promising freshman team coming up, Agawam's soc- cer outlook for next year are very bright 5 6 KNEELING (I. TO R): S. Houlihan. K Cook. J McCarl. I) Heckman.

Although the girls were not able to produce a winning squad, much knowledge and experience of the sport was attained through constant practice and devotion. Agawam managed to excel in the 4(X) yard freestyle relay, in spite of the small number of girls on the team. Agawam took this event in almost every meet, with the efforts of Kim Comstock. Kathy Griffen, Michelle Bussiere and Leslie Clark. TRACK The Agawam High Track Team compiled a dismal 4-6 record this past season.Agawam’s strength lay in the weight events; they were considerably weaker in the running events which were run predominantly by underclass- men. though seniors Dave Mason, Joe Ramah, and Hal Stuart proved themselves by giving some excellent performances. Underclassmen Kevin Coughlin, Phil Jenson, and Matt Mason appear to hold potential for the future, and with the helpful coaching of Coaches Modzclewski and Smith the inexperienced team is expected to grow into a powerhouse. 2 1 Hal contemplatos pre-game strategy with Coach Modzelewski. 2 Dave Mason flaunts winning stride in baton warm-up.

The season's start was a promising one, but after the loss of key senior runners Hal Stuart and Rick Sardella, the team was bitterly disappointed. The burden was then put in the inexperienced hands of Tom Bassett. Kevin Coughlin and Phil Losito.

Coach Roger Leclerc had high hopes for the team, but was disappointed with a 6-7 record. The team made an above par showing when they drove past the favored Classical for the win, and from then on Agawam remained tough competition. Heading up next years team will be returners Dan Lunden and Dave D’Amours. 83 GIRLS’ SOFTBALL 1973 proved to be a good year for the improving Girl s softball team. Coached by Mrs. Ruth Nichols, the team wrapped up the season with a satisfying 8-4 rec- ord. In spite of it s losses. Agawam did qualify for the Western Mass, tournament. Brightening up the prospects for the 1974 season are returning seniors Patti Cook, April Hill, Joann Blair, Sheryl Hadden and Donna Bailey. Juniors returning are Jane Benerakis. Rhonda LaVallee and Regina Dalmolin who, along with soph- omores Linda Viens and Celeste Galluc- ci, should prove unexpendable in the coming season. 1 JoAnn. Donna. Patti.

Although they amassed a winless record, the team seemed to exemplify the true meaning of sportsmanship, and looked on to 1975 as a bigger and better year. Seniors on this year’s team included Paula Christopher, Linda Oliver, Sue Amabile, and Joanne Morawski as defensive players, and Joanne Draghetti on offense. Heading up the team pointwise was junior Laurie O’Connor, and all the underclassmen are sure to carry on this year’s attitude of stubbornness and ener- gy to next. 2 3 1 KNEELING (I.

But as the season prog- ressed, so did the Brownies. The highlight for this season was Agawam’s most impor- tant game, a wild 59-52 win over Division li leader. South Hadley. In the first half Steve Byrne. Tom Quinn and Dan 1.unden were hot in their shooting and Agawam went in the locker room leading by three. In the second half the lead went back and forth until late in the fourth quarter when the Cagers gradually pulled away. Leading this year’s team was Captain Steve Byrne, who may be one of the best basketball players Agawam has produced. Along with junior Tom Quinn. Agawam had the best one-two punch in western Mass. The rest of the starting five was high scoring Dan Lunden, Cliff Kibbc, and Dave Michalak. Coach Kibbc was able to call on many reliable back-up men when the going got tough. Most of the boys saw a lot of action this past year: such as seniors Marc Manna and Bill Stone, and juniors Tom Bassett. Jeff Carmodv. John Conte, Greg Fuchs, and Doug Miller. 1 Dan Louden arcs a shot over an East Longmcadosv defender 2 Steve By me and Cliff Kihbe struggle for a rebound LEFT TO RIGHT: Coach Kibbc.

There were main energetic members of the group scat- tered in the different categories. The three classes of the Wrestling Team were; heavyweight, middleweight, and lightweight The matches proved exciting as the team executed their moves against the opposition.

Yet, one might say 1971 was a very good year. For buried deep under the happenings of the Vietnam war, cries for peace, and problems of racial imbal- ance, a spec of humanity took root in foreign soil. Alike yet unique, independent of most preceding trends, the class of 1974 began it s academic career at Agawam High School. Freshman year, as one might expect, proved to be one of challenge and orientation. Confused by new faces, an unlimited an unknown maze of doorways and passages, and “uppity” upperclassmen, the freshman class barely managed to keep it’s head above water. Conventionally, the class first blackened the pages of it’s barren account book with bake sale profits. Stepping boldly forth into the institution of school politics, the fettered fledglings of ‘74 elected Nancy Prystupa, Walter Kane, Denise Pepper and Liz Norman for class officers. Rallies were as vague as ever to those whose previous assemblies consisted of fund raising drives and honor roll reading and they remained unexperienced privileges until — PART TWO 1972 — a year, like many others, of descent in the value of the dollar and discord, of trial and tribulation, of Nixon and nonsense Yet, one might say 1972 was a very good year. For that minute portion of humanity slowly took shape and started to realize it’s potential for the years ahead. The second year of higher-level learning contained the beginnings of school enthusiasm brought on, in part, by the long awaited combination of drum-beat, competition and cheerleader decor — the rally. The class of '74, being shy and reserved, absorbed and stored information on the proper behavior of juniors and seniors at such gatherings for future reference. It gathered that juniors dislike sophomores and seniors, seniors dislike juniors and sophomores, and everybody dislikes the other team. A great blow to the pride of the upperclassmen came when the sophomore class ran away with the number-one title in the Winter Olympics, and an even greater blow was served to male chauvinism when four girls — April Hill, Laura Kibbe, Denise Pepper and Liz Norman were elected to class positions. Also making the year much more enjoyable was a Agawam's ninth successive football victory over West Side, to be made the tenth m WEACHMENT THE TATE PRESIDENC , THURS, DEC 6 ,LASSICAL HS AUDITO 7:30 PM 8 OPEN MICROPI'CJ Questions « com £ ' Q Z INrOR MlO T31O075 - TtlO PART THREE 1973 — a year, like many others, of dissent and discord, of Watergate trials and tribulations, of Nixon and nonsense. Yet, one might say 1973 was a very good year. For that spec moved up in the ranks of “earth-shaking” events, became more visible to the naked eye, became known as the junior class. mi COAST ttlil I The class of 74 found that the junior year was the next best thing to the senior year, as the only special privileges rewarded to seniors were Max-Ed and automatic victories at class competitions. The junior class came up with something distinctively new in the annuals of AHS history — a combination prom-dinner-dance. With the theme, Three Roses , the senior prom was held at classy Chez-Josef, for those who could afford class. Also new was the changing of the guard (class officers) to Sue Wheeler, Pam Dubour, Denise Pepper and Liz Norman. The class of ’74. at last, has something to be proud of — class rings, a junior win over the faculty at basketball; advisor Mr. Sheehan, and a victory over time. Three years had painstakingly gone by. leaving one year left to graduation in — PART FOUR — 1974 — a year of dissent and discord, of trial and tribulation, and of more of Nixon’s nonsense than was bearable. Yet, one must say it was a very good year. For that spec reached the end of the line, became ready to move on to greener pastures. Many new innovations characterized the newly-made seniors, the most striking being the ascendency of three males to the ranks of class officers. Hal Stuart, RicSardella and Doug Heckman broke the long-running tradition of a predominately female-ruled class, and proved that they could do a much better job than their predecessors. Liz Norman remained in her four-year position as ■ ]assroou o Be Cot n Agawai oix fray’s ro i a he a I rip —without iruz: CO z f •2 o b p- b z LLJ § 0- Gas increase 8 To llc ------Power Blackouts Will Come mum M All NORTHERN ! IRELANDJ class secretary. Open Campus was converted to the Max-Ed program, which allowed for the same priveleges but required an accounting for some of the Senior's time. New to the school was the school store which carried everything from cough drops to Bic Bananas. Co-ed gym for Seniors made those two periods a week just a little more enjoyable. Agawam abounded in short-term football players, as the senior shirts chosen in '74 were look-alikes to the standard team shirt (in orange and white). Tradition still held a place in the events of the senior class. The Kid Party was the one good opportunity for seniors to drop their screens of “maturity” and misbehave for a night. Steve Bailey. Jo Fournier and Patti Haynes starred in the annual operetta, chosen as“Camelot by the music department. And last, but not least, the age long feud between the juniors and the seniors was carried on in style when seniors insisted on lending the sophomores a helping hand during class competitions at the West Side Rally It s absolutely necessary to look beyond the competitive, seemingly “snobbish senior, and to realize he's just biding his time. For the goal of every red-blooded American high school student is to sit calmly through unending strains of ” Pomp and Circumstance , to serenely let the wisdom of the aged flow through one ear and out the other, to quietly accept the diploma with a secret smile of success, and finally to run hysterically out of the building to a night on the town.

A few of their thoughts on the past year and their respective office would he most appropriate. Doug Heckman described his position of class treasurer as a new experience I liked it”, while class secretary Liz Norman pointed out. it was really hectic, definitely the busiest of the four years I loved it though Vice-president Rick Sardella observed that With the help of the seniors individually |a great hunch of kids) and our president we made it a good year the best class to ever graduate from AHS. “Our president ”. Hal Stuart, stated that though the year had had “a bleak beginning highlighted by chaotic, sometimes exasperating events'”, and he had felt a lot of apprehension'” at first, the class came through much better than he had anticipated. Sincere thanks and gratitude are due these four seniors for their efforts. 103 3 Annette Aequaro Leo Pizza long hair . Annette Ed Adarnchek Berliner Weiss room -10 'Far- out . Mead.

Mass. Planning a field trip or worrying about the gas situation? B all means, sec PETER PAN BUS LINES 1780 Main Street — Springfield. Mass I This year’s Sachem set a precedent by edi- torializing, spot-lighting the ’74 seniors, creating a “player close-up sports section and enlisting the juniors to see the ’74 Sachem masters at work. It is my hope that our efforts and innovations are appreciat- ed. I find it necessary, due to personal sac- rifices made, to cite overtime put into Sachem this year by particular staff mem- bers. Ellen Fuller lent her designing and graphic ability, and to her 66 underclass- men and myself owe a debt. I cannot fail to acknowledge the reliability of my Asso- ciate editor, Tony Mowrer and Joanne Morawski who helped meet the deadlines on the 11th hour of the 31st day. To express the part of Jonathan Livings- ton Seagull ideally found within Agawam High School has been Sachem’s goal in 1974. Helping to make it all possible were Don Lendry, American Yearbook Repre- sentative; Loring Studios; and one who doesn’t have feathers but teaches much — Mr. David Pulaski, advisor and profession- al photorgrapher.
