Class SOPHOMORE YEAR As little Sophomores”, we entered A. H. S. in September, 1965, a little wary and lacking the confidence supposedly instilled in us by our past teachers and advisors. When we bad steadied ourselves to the life here, we set about to elect our representatives to the Student Council. The members chosen to represent our class were: Lyn Salisbury, Cliff Bonna, Sally Swenson, Roberta Lander, and Jeanne Morin. Next, our class officers were elected. Those chosen to lead our class were: Cliff Bonna, President; Susan Bliss, Vice-President; Aside from our academic activities, we participated in many extra¬ curricular activities. Our first rally was very exciting, our class being the first in many years to have the rallies in the Gym. We even won Kathy Smith, Secretary; and Gail Hayden, Treasurer, one of the competition cheering contests judged by the teachers. (At least some people recognize talent when they hear it!) We had a good football year, winning the Bristol County League Championship, although we lost the Thanksgiving Day game to North Attleboro. At the Victory Dance, we were represented by our Sophomore Queen, Linda Holt. Likewise, our basketball team was very good, and we made it to Tech Tourney; that is, at least half of us reached our destination! (Remember the buses??) We were not to be forgotten in other activities throughout the year. Our class was well represented in the Variety Show under the direction of Mr. Michael Tenore. In the Senior Play, Donna Yeo and our own Moose” added to its success. We saw, and some of us participated in our first Protest March, a demonstration for Mr. Miles and Mr. Orlando. Cheering tryouts were held in the spring, and four girls were chosen: Liette Isabelle, Lonnie Flanagan, Sally Baer, and Janice Piche. Majorettes for the following year were: Kathy Jaques, Shirley Anacko, Sharon Hanley, Gail Hayden, Cindy LaRoque, and Mary Pimental. Again, proving that not all Sophomores are teenyboppers”, Mike Touloumtzis won the Chess Tournament by beating both Juniors and Seniors. The year ended with a rush to Cafeteria A to order our class rings. We could now look forward to a year when we would earn some respect from the incoming sophomores. JUNIOR YEAR Blinded by the sun of our fun-filled summer just ended, and dazed by the thought of our being upperclassmen, we entered A. H. S. once again in Sept. 1966. Despite our disorganized mental condition (or perhaps because of it), we happened to elect to qur student council Cliff Bonna, Jeanne Morin, Earl Hales, Evelyn Zmudsky, Jeff Parker, and Mary Pimental as delegates, and Janice Piche and Lyn Salisbury as alternates. Onward we struggled, and selected as our illustrious class officers (to lead us through our year of toil and trouble), Tom McAvoy, President; Robert Tracey, Vice-President; Lyn Salisbury, Secretary, and Sally Swenson, Treasurer. Lonnie Flanagan and Sally Baer left our hallowed halls of learn¬ ing, and their positions on the cheering squad were eagerly occupied by Kristi Young, Robin Digone, and Dawn Dean. Our football team strove valiantly to do battle with its various enemies, but unfortunately it was low on ammunition. The result was our having a 3-5-1 record and our defeat by our arch-rival, North Attleboro. It may be noted, however, that this set the stage for the following year’s Turkey Day encounter, wherein the class of ’68 rose up in wrathful indignation and smote the enemy a vengeful blow. Our Junior Victory Queen was, again, Linda Holt. The shiny new class rings, which we ordered as sophomores, finally arrived and many of us took pleasure in displaying them to others. As far as our basketball team was concerned, they tried hard. We finished rather low in the standings, as a matter of fact, but at least the play was sparked by spirit and hustle. The Senior Play was Twelve Angry Jurors, which had substantial monetary success, and the Juniors who contributed to achieving this end were: Tom Spriggs, Tim Ney, Donna Yeo, Sharon Hanley, Cindy Wilkes, Evelyn Zmudsky, and Mike Touloumtzis. Our magnificent class dance, held in February, was, of course, a triumph both fiscally and physically. The theme was Let’s Take a Trip”, and it was gratifying to see how people got into the mood of the function by getting high. The National Honor Society inducted some 30 Juniors in May, and those members, elected as its officers: Jeff Parker, President; Earl Hales, Vice-President; Heather Hall, Recording Secretary; Gail Ga- lasso, Corresponding Secretary; and Christine Schultheiss, Treasurer. At an assembly held in June, Mr. Joyce announced the class which had won the Freeman Hall Trophy. Earlier in the year, the Seniors had but a three point lead over the Junior class, and both classes History strove to add to their score. As the atmosphere grew tense, it was announced that our class, the class of ' 68, was to be awarded the Freeman Hall Trophy. Pandemonium broke loose, naturally, but he was restrained and put back into his cage. Then our noble President, the moose”, announced that since every member of our class con¬ tributed to the award, he would pawn it and divide up the money received. School officials immediately confiscated the trophy, for our own good”, they said smilingly. SENIOR YEAR September, 1967 was the beginning of the end. We were Seniors at last and determined, as all senior classes are, to make our grad¬ uating class the best ever. There was only one difference—this year it was bound to be true!! Leaders are necessary to any success and the first business of the year was to elect our various leaders. Seniors who ran for and were elected to the Student Council were: Earl Hales, Chris Schultheiss, Tom Spriggs, Mike Touloumtzis, Robert Tracey, Monte Wetzel, Kristi Young, Mary Pimental, Evelyn Zmudsky, and Greg Cavaco. The officers of our ’68 Student Council were: Cliff Bonna, Pres.; Jeff Parker, Vice-President; Lyn Salisbury, Secretary; and Kathy Jacques, Treasurer. Soon, class officers were elected. We chose Steve Baker, President; Tom Snyder, Vice-President; Kathy Jaques, Secretary; and Sally Swenson, Treasurer to lead the way of senior life. Athletic life is never to be forgotten in high school activities, and we had able leaders with Dean Athanas and Rick Hulkow as foot¬ ball co-captains, a successful soccer team, Liette Isabelle as head cheerleader, and Kathy Jacques as head majorette. The first assembly of the year gave outward acknowledgement of a fact we had known all along. For two years we had stood for seniors and now it was our turn to reign. This year the assembly program gave one more recognition of our senior status. AHS was too crowded for all students to attend all assemblies, but our class convinced the administration that seniors should miss no assemblies. Our football team made the season unforgettable by beating Feehan and then by a fantastic 30-0 victory over North on Thanks¬ giving. This year our traditional Victory Dance preceded the game. Linda Holt was elected queen and reigned over the spirit that AHS had for their team—the team that brought Hilda home. Hilda was won with our victorious game and officially returned to AHS in an assembly overflowing with school spirit and pride inspired by our team which was, of course, led by our senior co-captains. The Variety Show, NOW”, under the guidance of Mr. Victor Genest and Mrs. Patricia Price, was, as usual, a smashing success. The practice of the previous weeks was entitled Then”, but this was not included in the final performance. In order to stimulate our interest in current affairs (besides where the gang’s going on Friday night), AHS held two political assemblies. The first was a panel discussion between a Dove and a Hawk on the issue of Vietnam. (Who said birds of a feather flock together??). The second assembly featured Mayor Pigott and Mr Macomber. Members of the Young Democrats and Young Repub¬ licans Clubs asked questions and both candidates were allowed to give their views. As the basketball season began, we saw some thrilling perform¬ ances by our team. Led by such all-time greats as Vin Aguiar, Rick Hulkow, Tom Houle, and Doug Johnson, the team was sparked to victory, defeating most notably, Feehan and, with a final surge, first-placed Durfee. However, we finished the season with a 9-5 record, thus, disqualifying AHS from proceeding to Tech. Our class, again proving itself the best, turned out 15 candidates for election as our Good Government Day Representative. Chosen was Robert Tracey with Larry Todaro as alternate. Evelyn Zmudsky, who recently returned from a summer in Ger¬ many as an AFS exchange student, was elected as our DAR Good Citizen. This year, two students were selected to share the honors of being awarded the Bausch-Lomb Award in Science. They are Peter Kacz- owka and Patricia McCarthy. Because of an early deadline, we must omit many of the future activities which will occur in these last months. These memories will remain with us, however, long after we have left this building which has been our home for the past three years. We are looking forward to our Senior Prom, the Reception, Class Day, and the most unforgettable Senior Picnic that will ever take place. Although our class history ends here, it will, in many ways, live on. For the Class of ’68 leaves a mark on AHS which can NEVER be erased or superceded. And that mark is that the best class ever to attend AHS graduated in June, 1968.
