CLASS OF 1966 Beacon High School Beacon, New York FOREWORD These four years we have spent at Beacon High have been the four years directly preceding our fu- ture as adults. We all have had to make some de- cision about the future and just where we will find ourselves. Many of us will enter directly into the busi- ness world upon graduation; others have chosen to extend their preparation for entering the world through college or training schools. In either case, Beacon High has played a vital role in influencing our decisions and thus our lives. The facts and figures we have learned might not stay with us long and ultimately will be forgotten. How, then, has Beacon High be6n important? It has been essentially im- portant in teaching us how to learn. A happy, success- ful adult has an ever growing, ever active mind that daily educates itself. Beacon High has trained us to be ready for growth and expansion; it has taught our minds to stretch and open to new ideas. Without this we would never mature, for maturity is not reached at age 21. Maturity, rather, is constantly sought throughout life, thus constantly drawn closer. Beacon High has equipped us for this search—Bea- con High has equipped us for maturity. DEDICATION For the knowledge you have given us and the influence you have used to help us build our character, we, the ‘‘Class of '66 , dedicate our yearbook, the BEACON, to you, Mr. Mordas, as an expression of our respect for you and the fine example you have set for us and for many other classes at Beacon High School.

Curry, John W. Clawson, Harry M. Alfred, President; Thomas A. Price, William E. Dexter. Standing (L-R): Bernard S. liquorman, Dettmer Bauer. Absent: James F. letterio. The Board of Education is the behind the scene force which has shaped our educational lives from the beginning to the present. The Board works long hours for no personal benefit other than satisfaction at seeing the Beacon school system grow and improve. This year has been a particularly active one for the Board. It has been highlighted by the consolidation of the Beacon and Glenham school system. This has resulted in more efficient use of the taxpayers’ money, something the Board consciencously strives to do. The Board displayed its integrity and personal courage this year in the Pete Seeger controversy. Despite many loud objections from the town and churches, the Board stood behind our constitutional right of freedom of speech and let Pete sing out, giving us all a very enjoyable evening. The Board thus plays a vital role in our lives, and we should appreciate the service and sacrifices each member has selflessly given. 6 SUPERINTENDENT ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT To the Class of 1966 As you prepare for graduation I extend my thanks for your enthusiasm and leadership during your years at Beacon High School. I hope that your high school experience has served to develop in each of you an inquiring mind and a sincere sense of purpose. In the future, form your con- victions carefully, analyze them frequently and defend them firmly. Your ability to effectively serve your com- munity and yourself will be the truest measure of our school's success. I wish you well in all your endeavors and look for- ward to many years of close association with each of To the Class of 1966 It is with considerable pride that I address this mes- sage to you who will soon be Alumnae of Beacon High School. Though I have not worked closely with the Class of '66 as a whole, I have known many of you individually and have been aware of your accomplishments and concerns.

A girl of many talents, she sews her own clothes and knits the most gorgeous sweaters. Sue enjoys good food, skiing, and cars, especially GTO's. Parents who always say, “Well, when I was your age ... , health nut gym teachers, and that crowded hall by the old gym reolly bug her. We know thot with her bubbling personality and good looks she'll make a wonderful airline hostess. Yearbook 4; Student Council 4. LINDA LEE ADAMS Sometimes quiet but always fun-loving, Linda has participated in many of the school's activities. Neat and well-groomed, her silky blond hair earns the envy of the girls and the admiration of the guys. Linda likes money, her stuffed Tiger, and sports. Her dislikes are few, but she does admit that getting up early in the morning is far from enjoyablel Linda hopes to win an Olympic gold medal in swimming, and we're sure she'll succeed. Chorus 1,2; Cheerleading 2,3,4; Yearbook 4; Student Council 2,4; Tennis Club 1,2; Volleyball 1,2; Basketball 1,2; Swimming Club 2. DAVID FRANCIS AMBURY Dave cannot be judged on first impressions. Seemingly friendly, comical, and dis- interested in serious matters, Dave has a thoughtfulness and earnestness which are not obvious at first glance. Expressions such as “No, do you? and “So what? add to his impenetrable exterior. Dave's likes include Ralph's, girls, and fourth period study hall, and he hates noisy classrooms. THOMAS ADAMS Hear “I'll be dipped'' in the hall and you know it's Tommy Adams. Tommy's crazy about a girl named Pat, Friday nights, and summer vocations. Like everyone else, he can't stand work, homework, and Spanish. Science Club 1; Track Team 2; Student Council 1,2. 17 WARREN EDWARD ANGELL A seemingly serious member of our class is Warren Angell. Although he appears to be quiet and reserved, his inner personality reflects a love of fun and a great sense of humor. Warren likes Chevys, drag-racing, and last, but by no means least, Rhonda. His most prominent dislikes are crowded classrooms ond people who constantly complain. BEVERLY BARACCA Another senior with hopes of becoming a nurse is Bev Baracco. Bev has all the quiet, sympathetic qualities that make a good nurse. Besides her interest in others, Bev enjoys swimming, dancing, going to basketball games, and traveling. Her only dislikes in life are having to get up early and doing things in a rush. Homemaking Club; Future Homemakers of America; Gymnastics Club. JOHN D. AVIS John is the Mr. Fix-it of our class. He fixes almost anything, especially old cars and clocks. His philosophy is, When faced with a problem, don’t give upl Although John likes science and mechanical things, he can easily do without homework. Who knows, someday John may build the first family space ship. Science Fair. WILLIAM DENNIS BAUER Bill has visions of becoming a Business Administrator and driving a Ferrari. Nurses, tennis, golf, Wappingers, pool halls, and Friday nights are among his favorites. An outspoken individualist, he dislikes warm beer, cold pizza, and New York winters. Bill sums up all his trouble in Give me a breakl Dramatics Council 3,4, Treasurer 3,4; Chorus 1,2,3,4; New Platz Music Festival 3,4; All-State Music 3; All-County Music 1,2; Band 1,2,3,4; Tennis Team 2,4; Science Fair 1,2; Yearbook Staff 4. CYNTHIA BOPP Cindy it the fun-loving type. Dancing and tewing occupy her time, and a boy in the Marinet occupiet her thoughts Conceited people don't rate with her at all. The nuning profettion will be greatly enhanced by her pretente. JEANETTE BAUM We predict that in a few years Jeanette will appear on stage as a dancer. You name it and she does it — toe, ballet, tap and jazz. An all around girl, she likes Dramatics and sewing. After her big debut she plans to settle down and get married. Future Homemakers of America 2,3, President 3; Future Secretaries Club 3; Co- operative Work Experience. JAMES BOPP Jim, a future forest ranger, is very upset by people who hunt and fish out of season. Another thing that irks him is work of any kind. Any suggestion of manual labor on Jim's part always receives a quick, No, you! On the positive side he likes drum corps, hunting, camping, and money. Band 1,2,3,4. ROBERT BOOLUKOS Bob, usually a very congenial guy, bristles at the word work . He's the one who wants to moke millions without moving. Once a millionaire. Bob can indulge in his favorite pastimes: having fun and doing nothing. Seems like a great woy to live if you can get away with it. 19 DAVID JAMES BORGES Remember Emory in Bod Seed ' the elderly grey haired neighbor? Behind that facade was Dave, blonde, blue-eyed, quiet. But Dramatics is only one of Dave's loves. There are also weekends, summer vacations, math, and study hall to be considered. If you want to make it with Dave, never flirt (he abhors it), and don't mention oral reports or the 7:25 Monday morning bus. Dramatics Council 3,4; French Club 2,3. JOHN JAMES BRIDE Who's the guy with the adorable grin the girls all love? If it's not a certain young singer from England, it probably is Johnny. This senior con be seen cruising around school in a big, blue car, looking very much at ease behind the wheel. Johnny likes long hair and girls who cry. so all you long-haired weepers take heart and look out for Johnny. His ambition is to meet a different kind of girl. He has no time for snobs. We wish him luck and success in all of his endeavors. BARBARA LEA BOSCH One of our zaniest personalities in the senior class is our bubble-headed Barb. Barb longs to live by the ocean and be an honest-to-goodness blonde. She would enjoy sitting by a fire on a stormy night with a cadet from West Point (Who wouldn't. Barb?). Yet, Barb likes outdoor sports, too. She enjoys a good snowball fight and skiing. The only thing irksome to Barb is people who never call back. As a good student and active person, Barb is bound to be a success in all she attempts. Student Council 3.

Forced to use his leisure time in some other pursuit. Bob has developed an interest in baseball, basketball, and football. His stick-with-it philosophy applies to all things except homework, and he dislikes the teachers who assign it. Some day soon we expect this future pilot to overcome his fear of females and go soaring into the wild blue yonder with a beautiful blonde co-pilot. 20 WILLIAM CLINTON BUGG Clinton, alto known os The Conservative, fits the all-American boy image to a tee. His main interests in life are girls, unless they're conceited, and sports, particularly basketball and football. Not just a good time Charlie, Clinton has a serious side too, and he hopes to further his education in business school. Junior high students who run through the halls are all that he finds objectionable. J.V. Basketball 1; Student Council 1. ELIZABETH ANNE MARIE BURKE Bettye is a typical American girl, fond of clothes, parties, and a certain drummer. A talented songstress and dancer, Bettye loves to frequent King Kone. Ask her if she likes Monday mornings or conceited people, and her reply is certain to be Who lied? Cooperative Work Experience. MARSHA BUCK Vibrant and vivacious could only begin to describe Marsha. This future buyer for Saks 5th Avenue has a yen for basketball games, boys from Dutchess, Corvettes, and fun. Eighth period, homework, and crowded halls have no ploce in her life, and bossy people hod better walk softly when passing Marsha. The cry I didn't do it I echoes through the halls whenever Marsha is around. Dramatics Council 3,4; Office Aide 1,4; Girl's Athletic Association 1,2. KATHLEEN THERESA BRODEUR Look out Broadway here she comesl Although Kathy has chosen a highly competi- tive field, we doubt very much if she'll have too much trouble finding her way up that long ladder. Kathy was formerly a student in a N.Y.C. acting school where she specialized in Method acting. She likes harmonicas, cats, and the 2,000 year old brewmaster. Kathy has no use for pretentious people and very cold weather. Strictly an individualist with a charming and very interesting personality, Kathy is sure to be a success in spite of the people with madras faces that she despises so much. GLEN MICHAEL CABE We don’t ee enough of this good-natured hulking lad. Occasionally we cotch a glimpse of his curly, black locks and bright smile bobbing above the heads of us ordinary mortals. Our agents report that Glen was active in J.V. football and basketball and made a name for himself in recreation league ball. His favorite color is green, the beautiful green of felt stretched over slate topped tables. We expect these athletic pastimes will be mere avocations as Glen utilizes his business education for some substantial success. DONNA MARIE CARROLL Carrot Top is not only one of the quieter senior girls, but also one worth getting to know. You will discover a sincere person, one who loves children, animals, and people, as long os they're not egotistical. She’ll make a great nurse. Swimming, ice skating, sewing, and baby-sitting ore just a few of the things Donna enjoys. Going to school on Monday and not having mony snow days ore two things that disturb her considerably. Biology Club 2; Chorus 2,3; Bowling Club 2. DENNIS CABLE If you’re in Cold Spring and hear the melodious music of on electric guitar, it’s probably Denny serenading his girl. Aside from his guitar and Judy, Denny enjoys getting up early to go hunting. Denny’s ambitions are to get out of school and beot the draft. He dislikes school and work. What will he do for a living? As an answer you can depend on his saying, I want satisfaction,’’ as it’s his favorite cliche. 22 GEORGE JOHN CARROZZELLI George is big of stature and has a personality to match. He is always smiling, and friendliness is o great part of his nature. George is an ovid sports fan and has contributed his time freely as a manager for both the football and basketball teams. Watching the Yankees on television is a favorite pastime of George's, but long homework assignments he can do without. George's enthusiasm for school activities will surely carry over into the future to make him a success. Basketball Manager; Football Manager. RICHARD EDWARD CONLEY “Itch seems to be musically inclined. We hope he fulfills his ambition ond some- day owns a Selma tenor sax, because he surely con play one. He’s a very nice guy ___enjoys a good lough, and, when not playing a horn, he devotes his time to hunting, fishing, sports, and a certain Barbara. He dislikes school, broken reeds, and self-centered people. Senior Band 1,2,3,4; Dance Band 1,2,3,4. LINDA LOUISE COLBURN Arizona Kid is a sports enthusiast and lists swimming, horseback riding, and bowling os her favorites. She also likes convertibles ond boys, of course. An eventual airline stewardess, Linda is bothered by rainy days, show-off drivers. Mondays, and imitators. GAIL PATRICIA COOPER This future homemaker hopes to become the world s best cook ond raise a huge family (for Rick, of Hempstead, long Island?). Till then Goilsey spends her time on sports, clothes, shoes, ond reading. Grouchy people, carrots, history, soda, and bad sports disturb her gaiety. _ Science Club 1; Biology Club 2,- Horizons Unlimited 3.4; Advertising for plays 4, Student Council 1,2.3,4; Basketball 1; Yearbook 4. EDWARD W. COLLINS Poor Ed I He has had to suffer through port of his senior year with a broken ankle, but this hasn't kept him down. He still has found time to participate in the arts of girl watching, music, photography, ond electronics (in that order). Our Ed is noted for his subtle, comical remarks and surely this should help him handle his future dental patients. Band 1,2,3,4; Photography Club 4; Science Fair; Yearbook 4. 23 ROBERT ANTHONY CORRADO Another future millionaire, we wonder if Bob will make hit by doing remakes of old surfing movies. Since Bob likes swimming and movies, this seems like a logical assumption. Once he makes his fortune. Bob won't have to worry about walking on cold mornings, tests, or homework: three things he dislikes intensely. Student Council 1; French Club 2,3; Dramatics Club 3,4. LAWRENCE DARCY Beneath Larry's shy, good looks is a real swinger. The life-of-the-party type, Larry's presence adds a dash of sparkle to any gathering. When the mood switches to serious, so does Larry. He’s equally adept ot working or playing, and, with so much going for him, he just can't fail. SUZANNE ELIZABETH CRONE As Sue struggles along in her quest for excitement and adventure, we con see her happily “You've got to be joking'' along. Aside from these escapades Sue like eating and as she says “of course, guys , while feeling strong dislikes for home- work and getting up early in the morning. Oh well. Sue, when you're rich, you can always sleep till noon. DOREEN E. DICASTRO Doreen has her future all planned — to be o certoin sailor's wife. She is partial to the Navy — con we guess why? Her hobbies ore cooking and styling hair, but her main pre-occupation is Johnny. She doesn't go for the Army, working, or oral reports. If you hear Ohl Mercy Buckets, you know it’s Doreen. Secretary, Freshman Class; Class Secretory 1. 24 MARY ELIZABETH DOUGLAS A many-faceted character ha� Dougie, an outstanding blonde senior. Her favorite quip, No big thing, applies to everything except Tommy, horseback riding, danc- ing, and traveling. Her originality is reflected in the desire to do some sky diving. Dougie’s dislikes include the Navy and two-faced people who use other people. People who pull out in front of her while she's driving, beware! Nurse's Aid 1,2,3,4; Student Council 3,4; Office Aid 2. JAMES JOSEPH DICASTRO Why me? is a favorite quip of Skippy, who bellows it out in study halls in the old gym and across the counters in Miller’s every time he thinks he’s being picked on. Just wait till Skip becomes manager of the A P; then we'll see who's gonna pick on whoml Skippy likes having his good times outside of Beacon ond does. RONALD JAMES EMIGH Ron is on exciting member of our class who enjoys the fun thot life has to offer. His ability on the football field and his antics in the journalism performance will long be remembered. Ron's pastimes include eating (at Raible's house), the movies, football games, and popular music. He dislikes people who lack a sense of humor ond find it hard to be goy. Although Ron’s lighter side is usually visible, he is also serious and conscientious, and in the future these traits will lead him to success. Vorsity Football 3,4; Varsity Wrestling 3,4; Track 3,4; Echo Staff 4. GLORIA ANN DONOFRIO 3lor, one of the most outgoing kids around, is captain of our cheering squad. Active describes her perfectly. Her likes include dancing, swimming, Peter, Paul and ary, and the basketball team. Stuck-up people ond a certain center for the B.H.S. ootball team annoy her immensely. Glor has the ambition of becoming a nurse ind we're quite sure she'll succeed. G.A.A. 2; Cheerleading 2,3,4; Student Council 1; Yearbook 4. JAMES MICHAEL FARMER Jim moy not make a big noise, but you know when he's around. He spends most of his time defending the Yankees, whom he hopes to manage someday, against Dodger fans. Jim also likes football and money, but can't tolerate homework or Monday mornings. National Honor Society 3,4. KARL RICHARD FELDTHAUSEN Felts, who dreams of owning a Ferrari, likes all sports cars and Road and Trock magazines, but has a strange aversion to drag racing. One of Felt's favorite oc- cupations is spending Friday nights on the road with the guys. He has no time for busy bodies or fools, especially if they're driving. Felts is a guy who knows where he's going and how to get there. Key Club 3,4; Beacon Echo Staff 3; Technical Club 1,2,3; Wrestling Manager 4. HENRY FARISH Hank is a man of few words and simple tastes. This future lover likes '55 Chevies, money, and, of course, girls. He feels a strong aversion to guys who borrow things. (Like girls. Hank?) BERNADETTE ANN FASTOSO Bernie's ambition is to become a private secretary. Her pet peeve is getting up early in the morning, and she dislikes show-offs, Monday mornings, and fast drivers. She enjoys dancing, tennis, skating, and swimming. When, Oh, no, you're kidding. is heard through the halls, Bernie is usually the one saying it. Future Secretaries Club 3; Cooperative Work Experience. 26 DENNIS JAMES FLYNN Denny lists going to school os his pet peeve, and we have to believe him because he's seldom here. Denny has hopes of becoming a bookkeeper, ond we wish him all the luck in the world. He's a good-natured guy with a pleasant personality — a winning combination. Distributive Education Club 3. JAMES JEFFREY FICO Jim’s interests range from music (the Lettermen and the Ventures), to sports (ski ing ond swimming). Klondike Jim dislikes getting up in the morning ond has no use for conceited people. Warning to all his future employees: business manager Jim has a great antipathy for sneaky people. J.V. Baseball 2; Cross-Country 3. BERNADETTE GALLAGHER A future grade school teocher, Bernie is mostly interested in bowling and swimming. Her ambition has always been to cut her hoir. She can always be heard saying alright men and fuming about not being allowed out on school nights. She dis- likes the army-draft of certain people and long hoir. Bowling Club 2; Future Teacher’s Club 4. ELIZABETH FINGERNAGEL Betty is a quiet, intelligent girl whose determination will take her places. She likes reading, travel, history, and swimming. She wants to go abroad and visit all the fascinating countries there are to see. We wish all the luck in the world to a girl who has what it takes and doesn't really need luck at all. 27 PAUL DAVID GAYLE One of the most individualistic natures of the senior class belongs to Paul Gayle. Never a willing conformist. Paul regards ony attempts to change his views with a dry, I don't believe this I Underlying ony sarcasm or ridicule, however, are both charm and intelligence, which he confidently displays whenever the mood strikes him. Paul likes Friday nights, debate trips, conservatism. Mad Magazine, and tall women, not necessarily in that order. He dislikes chaos, physical exercise, and mornings thot begin before 1 P.M. Tennis 3,4; Cross-Country 2,3; Debate Club 1,2,3,4, Treasurer 2, President 4; Dramatics Council 3,4, Vice-President 4; Student Council 3,4; Key Club 3,4; Senior Band 1.2,3,4; Drum Major 3; Dance Band 2,3,4; Breakfast Tutor Club, President 3,4. JOSEPH MICHAEL GERENTINE “Joe the toe, as his football teamates know him, has the ambition of staying single and making a million dollars. Joe dislikes haircuts and exaggerated heroes. Bob Dylan, L P Restaurant's food, sports cars, and the Rolling Stones are among his likes. “The Toe just might make his million dollars, but he’s so likeable I'm sure some girl will spoil the first part of his ambition. Football 1,2,3,4; Key Club 2,3,4; Track 3.4; Student Council 1,2,3; Production Staff for Play 2,3; Basketball 2; Yearbook 4. JAMES GERALDS Jimmie, who hopes to be Beacon's best butcher, enjoys all sports. His favorites are hunting, fishing, skating, swimming, and target shooting, to which he devotes most of his time. Almost any sixth period Jimmie can be found walking the halls, or sitting in Mr. Scoba's office. PETER VERNON GOETCHIUS Pete is truly one of the nicest members of the class of '66. He con be seen in the wee hours of the morning hard at work on the milk truck. Pete is a boy of diversified interests. Included among them are playing the drums and clarinet. When he is not busy going to school or delivering milk, he spends his spare time in Cold Spring. With his intelligence and sincerity we are sure Pete will achieve success in the future. Band 1,2,3,4. 28 MINDY GRUENBAUM Mindy is a girl who has, is, and does everything. Intelligent, vibrant, and worm just begin to describe her. In addition to her outstanding personality she plays the piano, sings in chorus, and sews. Mindy values sincere people highly and just loves Fords ond pumpernickel bread. Phonies simply don't rote, and she despises Sundays and writing term papers on undefined subjects. Her goal is to get out of Beacon, and in our opinion it will be Beacon's loss. Chorus 1,2,3,4; National Honor Society 2,3,4, Treasurer 4; Student Council Secretory 4; Horizons Unlimited 3; Yearbook Staff 4. ADELLA FRANCES GREENOUGH Adella hopes to be a hairdresser and enjoys riding in a 1965 Mustang. Among her other likes are Keith, dancing, and collecting records.

Future Homemakers of Americo 2; Volleyball 1,2; Basketball 1. GARY JOSEPH GRIPPO Duke is a guy who's always on the move. He spends his free time on cars, sports, or traveling. Gary is a man of few words, but he has an avid interest in his shop course. Football 2,3, Manager 4; Track 3. 29 RAYMOND HAIGHT Roy it o guy who’ always on the move. A real ladies man, Roy would rather spend his time day-dreaming about beautiful girls than doing anything else. Tall, dark, and handsome describe Ray perfectly, as all the girls in Beacon will agree. Hidden under his suave exterior is a winning combination of ambition and in- telligence. ANNE CAMPBELL HAYDEN Anne con laugh at anything and still maintain a serious outlook about life. She has a bubbly personality which is usually transmitted to the people around her. A good time is always appreciated by Anne. She also likes people and snowy days. The only thing that disturbs her is not having the car when she wants to roam. Swimming Club 1; Bowling Club 1; Office Aides 1,2,3; Yearbook 4. ROBERT LAWRENCE HANCOCK A roor, a flash of orange and green, and there goes Bob in a cloud of dust. He's o sincere, fun-loving guy who doesn't like made-up girls, dirty jokes, and, of all people, Charles Dickens. If you're ever looking for Bob, he can usually be found hunting, playing pool, or dreaming about Sunbeam Tigers, Mexico, and horses. Wrestling 1,2,3,4; Varsity Club 3,4. Our cute Cathy likes college boys, dancing, Ralph's, Miami Beach, and classical music. Her dislikes are anxiety, hypocrites, and indecision. Cathy is following a college entrance course so she can become a registered nurse. We all will env the guys who get Cathy for a nursel In school or on the town Cathy's a real swinger, and the guy that finally wins Cathy's heart can consider himself very lucky indeed. Cheerleading 3,4; Horizons Unlimited 4. CATHERINE FRANCIS HEDGES JEAN EDNA HORBATT Jean believes in non-conformity. She likes to read Shakespeare and to listen to Irish folk songs. Jeon has a certain intangible quality that separates her from the crowd. She is a very warm, sensitive, and sincere person, ond these attributes will surely lead Jean to future success and happiness. Horizons Unlimited 3; Dramatics Play 4; Yearbook 4; National Honor Society 2,3,4. JOHN J. HIGGINS Have fun while you canl” so says John, and he does just that. In the summer it means swimming; any other time it means bowling. A well paying job, his goal, should help him enjoy England, the Beatles, and independent people even more. Once he's out of school and free of condescending teachers his only problem will be dependent people. BONNIE IRENE HOWELL Bonnie is one of our better known thespians. Her smiling face has been seen on our stage many times, and she really loves her work. Aside from dramatics, she likes teaching pre-school and kindergarten children on Sunday and hopes to become an elementary teacher. With such on excellent background, she can't miss. Bonnie has only two dislikes: the lack of school spirit and pride sometimes shown at Beacon High ond having to wait outside when it's cold ond roiny. Chorus 1,2,3,4; Dramatics 2,3,4; Dramatics Council 3,4; Future Teachers Club 3,4. SHARON JANE HIGGINS If Come off it, or Drop dead! is heard through the halls, four out of five times it will be Sharon, or Higgy as she is better known. Her ambition is to graduate and to become a housewife. She can't stand Monday mornings and teachers who think they're funny. Among her likes are swimming, most outdoor sports, friendly people, and the Beacon Police Force. Office Aide; Nurses Aide; Swimming Club. 31 LOUIS FRANK JACKSON Lou, one of our basketball stars, is one of the most popular boys in the senior class. Lou likes bosketball and all girls who are good looking (college girls espe- cially). He dislikes girls that give him a hard time. He also dislikes coming home early on weekends. You may often hear Lou soy, “But I’m not messing around with anyone. ' Basketball 1,2,3,4; Football 1,2. 32 SANDRA MARIE HUGHES “OK, OK, So what else is new? That's Sandi for you, always asking questions in hopes of starting an intelligent conversation, or even a ridiculous one if she has nothing else to do. Sandi, who is partial to Aston-Martins, boys with long hair, Dylanesque songs and Anthony Newley, also dreams of some day being the manager of Joe Nameth, Don Maynard Co. (better known as the New York Jets). On the negative side, Sandi hates intolerance, phonies, today's hypocrisy, snobs, and boring closses. All we can say is, have funl (She will). National Honor Society 2,3,4, Vice-President 4; Yearbook 4j French Club 3; Stu- dent Council 4. DIANE IDEMA Who's the fun-loving girl who seems to know and like everybody? Yes, it's Di. Where can you find her? On school days, zooming around the halls after the latebell, and on Saturdays, zooming around town after work. Diane's likes include Saturday nights and Ralph's, motorcycles, the Righteous Brothers, and the l.A. Dodgers. She dislikes phonies and people who call her Shorty. Cheerleading 2,3; Swimming 2. KENNETH GEORGE IHLO Ken, “The pen, who enjoys signing his name to all of his papers, has hopes of a career in the Air Force. When not enjoying history, long weekends, or a good book, Ken keeps himself busy with his job at the Big Scott pharmacy. Among his dislikes are Mondays and hard marking English teachers (You know who you arel) VINCENT GENE JUSTINO Dashing Vinnie is one of our more creative seniors, being very interested in building model cars. He is very sensitive to teachers who yell in class, stuck-up girls, homework, finals, and all Fords. His spirit of adventure will someday be fulfilled when he acquires a new Vette. He s getting in shape to be a physical education teacher by eating pepper and sougage wedges. Friendly girls, hunting, drag-racing, and skiing really appeal to Vinnie. YVONNE KAREN JACKSON Yvonne, a future Wave, plans to study nursing or radiology. She likes photography and blue or maroon cars. Her greatest setback is the late bell for the afternoon homeroom period. Hello Dere, Yvonnel Chorus 1,2,3,4; Nurses Club 1,2; Library Aides 3,4; Biology Club 2; Photog- raphy 4. ROBERT JOHN KACUR Bob, good looking and considerate, likes individualists, girls, guitars, and the blues. He remains unimpressed by quick tempered people. The pounding of drums in the stillness annoys him. Bob is a quiet person, but the depth of his personality is a pleasant surprise when you know him well. Cross-Country 1,2. DANIEL ALLEN JOHNSON Dan has been active in many sports, but football is his favorite. During the practices he especially enjoyed the wind sprints, bull in the ring, and the seven man sled (Hal). He likes sports cars, girls, and folk music, especially Thelonius Monk and Donovan. He dislikes Governor Wallace and losing a football game. Dan's pleasant personality will be his key for opening a happy, successful future. Football .1,2,3,4; Track 1,2,3; Varsity Club 4; Echo Staff 4; Wrestling 2. 33 CHRISTINE MARY KOMER A fun-loving girl, Chris enjoys dancing, long drives, parties, and Pontiacs. Gym and Monday mornings don't agree with her at all. A friendly girl like Chris is bound to make some lucky guy a terrific secretary. EDWARD KOSLOWSKI Ed's burning ambition is to get out of high school, possibly to avoid all the little kids running around in the hall. He likes baseball and girls, and dislikes teachers. Football 2; Cross Country 3. RICHARD CHARLES KOLAKOSKI Cocky is a big guy who plays a swinging bass guitar and really digs crazy girls. He is an avid sports enthusiast who desires to be a coach, but his first love is playing groovy music. Nothing upsets him more than a lousy band or people who don't mind their own business. 34 THOMAS RICHARD LAKE Tom's various interests include sports, girls, and money. He hopes to someday win the Indianapolis 500, on roller skates of course. He finds people who boast about the Yankees very objectionable. Tom believes in complete honesty and says exactly what he means. Baseball 1,2,3,4; Varsity Club 4. CONSTANCE MARIE LASSITER One of our sweet ond quiet seniors is Connie. Connie, o future secretary, likes swinging parties, weekends, and people with a sense of humor. Her pet peeve is people who take others for granted.

ANTHONY WAYNE LASSITER Tony has found time to display his athletic ability in football and boseball while pursuing a business course at B.H.S. This able quarterback knows what paying the price means after a hard practice. He has a strong aversion for hard heads and the K.K.K. Tony's happiness will be complete when he finds the right girl, but she must be able to think for herself. Football 1,2,3,4; Boseball 1,2,3,4; Varsity Club 2,3,4. RICHARD DENNIS LANARI Girls are trouble mokers, insists Ricky stubbornly. He seems to like usherettes, however, so the alleged trouble makers can’t be all that bad! Along with usherettes, Ricky likes Cecilwood Theater (Is there a connection?), music, vacations, Italian foods, fun, the Dodgers, and the Mets. His dislikes include English 1, 2, 3, ond 4, Monday mornings, and his paper route in snow, sleet, and hail. His in- telligence, perception, and likeable personality have made him a valuable asset to our class. National Honor Society 2,3,4; Band 1,2,3,4; Key Club 3,4; Student Council 3,4, President 4. SHARON LESLIE LANE Friendly, fun-loving Shar hopes to become the tallest playboy bunny. Partial to very tall boys, pizza, and long weekends, she spends her quieter moments on art or as a nurse's aide. Braggarts, unfriendly people, homework, and American History bother her usually placid good humor. If you're ever depressed, Shar will snap you out of it with one of her witticisms. She's a decided asset to any class. Science Club 1; Intramurals 1,2; Future Teachers Club 3,4, President 4; Nurses Aide 4; Dramatic Club 3,4. 35 NICHOLAS JOHN LAURELU Nick-o-Demis is o man of few words. He is as quiet as he is good looking. Among his many interests are fishing, hunting, boseball, the Mets, and the Jets. He's one guy who knows where he’s going (to do some fishing and hunting for Field and Stream), and his friendly personality will surely gel him there. Not even final exams, the only things he doesn't like, con stand in his way. ALBERT JOHN LETTERIO Al, one of our more sports minded seniors, especially enjoys wrestling. He dislikes double periods on Monday mornings, and thinks educational T.V. should replace teachers. Al intends to see the outside world, but if any of you redheaded girls want to see it with him, you'll have to dye your hair. Al just doesn't go for read-heads. Wrestling 1,2,3,4; J.V. Baseball 1? Tennis 3,4. DONALD ERNEST LEGER Don a future Certified Public Accountant, dislikes walking instead of riding. This basketball fanatic spends his time admiring the girls at Ralph s, going to weekend parties, and drinking bitter lemon. Among his dislikes are 8th period, hard-to-get girls, and MiRo's. You will often hear him say, What, you're not thinking? ALICE TANYA LEWIS Tony, a very active and fun-loving girl, is always on the go. She dances, draws, styles hair, and participates in many sports. A party-goer who likes clothes (which she very often makes), Tany claims that her first love is little Rika. Happy most of the time, she frowns on walking to school, especially on cold Monday mornings, and unfriendly people. Cheerleading 1 j Softball 1,2; Volleyball 1,2; Basketball 1,2. 36 DUNBAR I. MACNEMAR Who-� the guy who can never gel o word in edgewise? You guessed it—Dunborl Known as “Bundar to his teasing friends (Call me anything but Dunbarl), this boy's personality is composed of friendliness, intelligence, and sincere warmth. His pastimes include telling Italion jokes to Mike Olivieri ond Rick Lonori and spending Friday nights with the crowd. Although Dunbar is often out-talked, he nevertheless exerts a deep influence on all who know him. Dunbar likes sports ond sincere girls; his dislikes include big shots, flirts, and overcrowding.

In addition to his fascination for cars, Charley has instrumental talent ond is in terested in all types of music. He also likes weekends and pool and naturally dislikes Monday mornings. Band 1,2,3. VICTOR KELLY LOOPER, JR. Whenever you need o job done, you know whom to coll on — Vic. One of the hardest workers around, Vic naturally dislikes people who don't do their share in a club. Aside from cold days, Vic likes most things, especially people with a sense of humor and just about any sport.' Active in almost every field, we know Vic will moke the world's greatest history teacher, ond not even excessive homework will stop him.

DENNIS MAC DONALD Denny, who just can't wait to graduate, likes hunting and fishing. His few dislikes include questionnaires and school (of all things I). Quiet Dennis is one of the few members of our class who is always seen and never heard. The reason for the latter may be all the talking the rest of us dol We wish Dennis the best of luck in the future. 37 ROBERT ANTHONY MADDALENA A future engineer. Bullet enjoys spending Friday nights with the guys, spending money, swimming, and ploying ping pong. His only dislikes are getting up in the morning and working. He says he could “sit ond watch it for hours. Bob's ac- complishments include dancing (haven't you seen the Bullet shuffle?) and skate- board riding down Kent Street hill. Wouldn't you like to sign a petition for Senior Follies? J.V. Football 2,3; Yearbook 4. DANIEL CONRAD MALITZ Whether it's on the mat os in the classroom, one of the greatest guys you could want to know is Dan. While disliking crowded halls and certain teachers, he really enjoys all athletics. Dan has participated in varstiy club activities for three years and is one of Beacon's best wrestlers. Dan has followed a college entrance course (that's funny, I always thought he was an athletic major). Varsity Club 2,3,4; Wrestling 1,2,3,4. MARIE MAHER On a hot summer night you’ll more than likely find Marie at the Newburgh Drive-in. Her other interests include reading, driving, and horseback riding. Marie's only dislikes are peas and liver. Swimming Club 1; Bowling Club 1; French Club 2,3. PATRICIA ANN MARTIN Pot is a girl who really moves. She has been accepted by Grace Downs for airline hostess training. (Look out world, here she comesl) She likes dancing, cokes, and jokes, but is extremely disturbed by healthy teachers. Cool it man, cool it. 38 DONNA MARIE MAYEN Donna is one of our quieter seniors. She is fond of bowling, dancing, and talking on the phone. She really digs'' Woppingers on Friday nights. Her friendly manner always remains unruffled, even on rainy Monday mornings, and we're certain her quiet efficiency will make her a valuable secretary. Bowling Club 2; Office Aides 3. BEVERLY McCARGO Friendly, fun-loving Bev likes bowling ond dancing, preferably with a handsome boy. As for individual pastimes, Bev prefers reading ond baseball. Bev strongly dis- approves of two-foced people and boys who wear white socks with dark slacks. A kind, sympathetic person with a smile for everyone, we'd oil be glad to hove this future nurse take our temperature. ELLEN WINIFRED McBEE With her beautiful soprano voice, Wini is one of the stars in Mr. Kline's chorus. As if this weren't enough, she also plays the organ and piano, sews, and paints — oil well. In her spare time (?) she writes to pen pals. Gym and uneducated know- it-alls bother her, but not enough to disturb her cheerfulness. With so much going for her, Wini can't help but be a success, and any patient who has her as his nurse is darned lucky. Future Nurses Club; Chorus 1,2,3,4. JOHN BRADLEY MASON Whistling the strains of Dixie, we see John Mason, a future chemical engineer, advancing down the hall. An athletic, transplanted southerner, John likes Friday nights. Bob Dylan, Ferrari’s, and TR-4A's, while Monday mornings and slow cars really bother him. We see this happy rebel very likely to succeed in all his endeavors up here in our cold, cold Nowthl Frosh Basketball 1; Key Club 2,3,4, Treasurer 3; Wrestling 2,3,4; Class Vice- President 4; Band 1,2,3,4; National Honor Society 2,3,4; Student Council Vice-Pres- ident 3. ALFRED E. NEUMAN By far the most illustrious member of our class, Al has the ambition of being the next principal of Beacon High. He has followed a studious course consisting of six periods of study hall and one period of English 4. His major activity is match- ing wits with the faculty who always come out on the bottom. Al is this year's recipient of the Good Driver Award for squealing tires while driving down Kent Street. ROBERT BERNARD McKINSTRY Bob, while taking a general course, has become one of the best auto mechanics around. Cars are his big interest, although T.C. on West Church St. is pretty important to him too. Her cold hands on the back of his neck are his pet peeve though. Bob s only other dislikes are apples and history tests as he moves toward his ambition (along with a lot of others) of getting out of B.H.S. DAVID CONRAD MdNTOSH Dave's main ambition is to get out of school, but, while he's waiting, his interests include girls and cars. The one thing that Dave can't stand is history of any kind. We wonder if he likes being called Apples? J.V. Football 3. LORRAINE K. McNAIR Witty, pleasant, and fun-loving ore a few of the adjectives which describe this active member of the senior class. Lorraine enjoys Saturday nights and boys. As a result of her exceptional abilities os a saleswoman, she is employed by Schoon- maker's Department Store. A sincere and honest person, Lorraine naturally dislikes two-faced people. Future Homemakers of America; Distributive Education. 40 KAREN ELIZABETH MEURANT Karen, who is one of the quieter members of our class, is a true friend to all who know her. She enjoys cars and Friday nights at Ralph's, but Monday mornings and gym distress her. Pursuing a Business Course in hopes of being a good secretary for IBM, she will surely find happiness throughout her life. Cooperative Work Experience. CANDACE MEDLEY Who's the cheerleader making fun of the boys in white socks and tight pants? It's Candy, of course. Besides her dislike of the preceding, she also frowns upon conceited people. Since Candy intends to leave Beacon to find a high paying job, her ability to carry on a good conversation ond her business course will aid her tremendously. Cheerleading 3,4; Basketball 1,2; Baseball 1; Volleyball 1,2; Future Nurses Club 1. VIRGINIA DELORIS MESNICK Dear Bobby, — Yes, Ginger is writing another letter. Cute, friendly, happy, slightly crazy, she hopes to become a beautician and a housewife (for guess who). Meanwhile, she swims, bowls, writes letters, ond tries to avoid conceited or sloppy people and Monday mornings. She's always cheerful, so she must be succeeding. MICHELINE BERNADETTE MIGNAULT Micheline, whose main ambition is to learn to drive, is a cheerful girl who takes things as they come. Mickey lists her dislikes as Monday mornings, shaggy sweaters, and self-centered people. Her likes include rainy days, bubble gum, and red Volkswagons. With her outlook on life, we're sure that Mickey won't let her pet peeve of French bother her. Swimming Club 1; Bowling Club 1; French Club 2,3; Office Aide 2; Volleyball 1; Library Aide 4. LINDA JANE THERESA MORAN One of the sweetest, most sincere girls in the senior closs is Lindo Moron. In- telligent, soft-spoken, and polite, Linda's high ideals are the epitome of what is good. Her influence extends to all who know her, as does her appreciation of what is beautiful or humorous in life. Linda likes the piano, horn sandwiches, and Greg. Her only major dislikes are meat without catsup and feather pillows. This unique girl will gain happiness and success, regardless of what road she may choose to follow. Class Secretary 4; Biology Club President 2; Class President 1; National Honor Society 2,3,4, Corresponding Secretary 3; Student Council 3,4; Yearbook 4. MELINDA MILLER Peppy and petite—thot's Melinda. IBM and Tom Watson should be glad to have her for a secretary because she’s a bundle of energy. Anyone who likes flying, water skiing, skiing, horseback riding and Joan Baez—well you just know she's a lively one. Don't be prejudiced or loud, and you'll get along great with her. Want to predict a rosy future fer her? Okayl Future Secretaries Club 2; Cooperative Work Experience. CHARLES THOMAS MORAN Who's the jolly redhead Who manages our football and wrestling teams?

REBECCA JEAN MILLER Everyone knows Beckyl Her quiet disposition and friendly attitude make her a friend worth having. Becky likes having to look up to Tommy. He's 6'4 — she’s 5'2 . For recreation she enjoys skiing and knitting. Sweet and pretty — thot's our Beckyl Office Aides 1; Echo Staff; Swimming Club; Yearbook 4. EDWARD JOHN MURPHY On Friday and Saturday nights, Merf pursues his hobby of chasing blondes, brunettes, and redheads; however, he is extremely annoyed when he's shot down by one of them. When he's not indulging in his favorite pastime, Merf hunts, ploys pool, and fools around with cors. He'll tell you he has very little ambition, but don't believe it. He has a decided aversion to pea soup. CHRISTINE MORANSKI Who's the cheery girl in the blue jacket running around yelling Hi, Pookie in everyone's face? That's Chris, the art editor of this thriving enterprise. Chris likes Austin Healeys, boys, N.Y.C. and art. She dislikes quiet study halls and volleyball and is one of the most outgoing members of ou class. If you are brave and blind enough to call her short and dumpy , watch out. She threatens to become a Polish Nationalist and start a revolution. Yearbook 4. MARY ANNE THERESA MURPHY Active, attractive, and intelligent — who? Why, Mary Anne, of course. One of the busiest seniors around. Mary Anne still finds time to be one of the nicest girls in the senior class. An easy going person herself, Mary Anne likes happy people, the color red, and sunshine; yet anger, decisions, and raisins seem to be upsetting to her. We expect her to someday Oh, well herself straight to the top. Swimming Club 1,2; Class Secretary 2.

LINDA RAE MORSE You con find her at Carroll's on Friday nights. You're sure to recognize the cheery hello and bright smile that could only be Linda's. Linda is one of our more ambitious seniors, working at IBM afternoons. A future full time secretary (guess where), she likes everything and everyone who isn't two-faced or egotistical. She just wishes she didn't have to get up at 6:15 to cotch a 7:25 bus.

She likes to spend her Sunday afternoons going for drives with Tom. A fun-loving girl, Teddy has no time for rainy days or stuck-up people. ROBERT ANTHONY NENNI Bob is a fun-loving member of our class who especially enjoyed Chem Lab. He is a talented athlete and spends time collecting coins and eating. Among his likes are money, girls, and convertibles, but he dislikes haircuts, crowded halls, and the Grand Union. With Bob's aggressive energy he just might someday become IBM’s president. Baseball 3. 44 CYNTHIA MYRICK Cynthia is one of our quieter girls who is endearingly called Pee Wee” by some. She likes reading, ice-skating, tennis, and bowling, but dislikes our latebells. Cynthia hopes to be a secretary, and her perpetual smile and pleasant manner would make her an asset to any office. Chorus 3. DONNA MARIE NUCCITEUI Who � the bouncy little girl with the big personality? It's Nucc. Donna, who i� an art major, wants to utilize her many talents by redecoroting the Beacon Theater, Ralph's, and the girl's bosement. Her likes include YoYo's, folksingers, and anything dealing with art. Chief among her dislikes are ony mornings that begin with the letters M.T.W.T.F.

CHRISTINE MARIE NICHOLSON Vivacious Chris, who happens to be co-editor of this noble enterprise, enjoys arguing, drawing stors on her's and everyone else'� papers, and eating marsh- mallow sundoes. A born musician, Chris sings, ploys in the band, and enjoys all kinds of music except that played too loudly on radios. Only inconsiderate people really bother this active senior.

JAMES DANIEL O'LEARY EDWARD NOLAN Every night after school Ed can be found slaving away ot the A P. Although his job leaves little time for homework (which doesn't bother Ed at all), he still plans to graduate this June. Ed spends any leisure time he does have on baseball, football, and basketball. It seems the only things that really disturb Ed's peace of mind are teachers and school. Manager of Football and Basketball Teams 3. Jim O'Leary and football are synonyms to most area fans. This powerful halfback hopes to become a professional in some chosen field. His athletic ability is varied, and he has not only starred in football ond baseball, but is capable of performing in many other sports with skill. Jim especially dislikes hypocrites ond loud mouths. This active, exciting member of our doss hos a sparkling personality that will guarantee success. Football 2,3,4; Baseball 1,2,3,4; Varsity Club 2,3,4. RICHARD PAPESCA Ricky, who spends his time working on cors, going to parties, swimming, hunting, and dating Joanne, hopes to become o mechanic. Ricky, for some reason, seems to dislike skiing, cold weather, and. for obvious reasons, work. GEORGEANN MARY PAOLINO If you hear someone cry Hey, George! , don't expect to see a 200 lb. bruiser. It will be our own petite Georgeann. A sweet, fun-loving girl. George lists as her likes debate trips, boys, basketball games, and folksinging. It seems the only things that really bother her ore period 4 (hunger pangs perhaps?) and bigoted people. We wish this future teacher all the luck in the worldl Debate Club 2,3,4; Future Teachers Association 3,4; National Honor Society 2,3,4; Corresponding Secretory 4. ANTHONY JOSEPH PAMPALONE Tony is one of the more ambitious members of our doss, as he is already an accomplished salesman. Tony likes most sports, particularly hunting, fishing, and basketball, but dislikes conceited people, final exams, and working on Friday nights. With his outgoing personality Tony is sure to be a success in all he does. Someday, we predict, he'll be a big business tycoon for Schuman's Army Novy Store. MICHAEL RICHARD OLIVIERI Mike, an individualist, makes it a point not to follow the crowd. He likes classical music, the piano, and people who can carry on a good conversation. His main dislikes are people who talk constantly, hypocrites, and Dunbar's Italian jokes. He also harbors a strong dislike for people who try to run other people s affairs, but he greatly admires those who are helpful to others. Student Council 1; Yearbook Staff 4. ■■ WILLIAM HENRY PERALTA Basket or touchdown, we're sure of Hook's ability to make either. Bill, one of the most athletic senior boys, is interested in and participates in almost every sport activity at B.H.S. Yet Bill is far from the dumb athlete stereotype. An intelligent, conscientious honor student, he enjoys gay, tolkative people with funny personalities. It seems his only grudge against the world is he has to do all that homework when he finishes with all those practice sessions.

PAULETTE ISABELLA PAPO Who's the girl in the beige Cadillac sitting next to Ronnie Pettorossi? Why it's Paulette. Paul likes Mr. Kosa, Mr. Hewes and boys who wear Jade East; on the other hand, she dislikes history, Monday mornings, and people who act goody goody when they're really not. Office Aide; Beocon Echo Business Editor 4. JEAN MARIE PETERSEN In a class already filled with future secretaries, we find still another, Pete. A fun-loving girl, Pete enjoys ice skating, horseback riding, snowy days, and silver cars. If the forecast is rain, especially on Mondoy morning, don't expect to see a smile on Pete's face. She has a decided aversion to both. In fact, the only thing that disturbs her more is moody people. PRISCILLA ANNE PAPULA It's hard to find a person who doesn't shrink from the word work, but we've finally found one right in our own midst. Perrsi has no grudge against it at all, probably because it supplies the money necessary for eating, driving, bowling, and dancing, a few of the things she especially likes. She also has a fondness for snow and Florida, a frequent port-of-call for the Navy, one of her favorite topics. It seems there is little which disturbs Perrsi except rainy Monday mornings and people who think they're the Hollywood type. 47 FRANK NICHOLAS PETTOROSSI Frank, whose favorite reply to a question is “No, youl , hos been active in the Beacon Echo and Student Council. His main likes are fishing, nice cars, Ralph's, and girls from Krisler’s (Not necessarily in that order). Frank claims that his dislikes are eighth period bookkeeping classes and gym, although he really doesn't let those bother him. Wherever you find fun, you'll find Frank, and his easy-going personality is sure to serve him as an asset in life. Student Council 3. THOMAS ROBERT PICKLES Did you ever hear of on athletic musician? We have one. Pic. A very determined guitar player. Pic also likes skiing, football, and swimming. He dislikes having study hall in the lunchroom and history, possibly because there's so much more to learn each year. Band 1,2,3,4. BARBARA ADELE PHELPS Barb, our Junior Prom queen, would be a perfect cover-girl for Vogue . You'll recognize her by her long brown tresses and constant smile. Her likes include skiing, weekends, long hair, and N.Y.C., but don't mention gossips, geometry, or Caesar's Commentaries. We believe she'll be a fine addition to the nursing profession.

She likes swimming, reading, dancing, and boys. Although she enjoys making new friends, she has no patience for people who are sneaky or conceited. She also dislikes Monday mornings and studying for tests. We just hope that IBM realizes how lucky they'll be to get Pinky as a secretary. 48 NATHANIEL POWELL, JR. Easy-going Nate seems to enjoy what he considers the finer things in life, namely girls and automobiles. Even then not all girls meet the bill, for it seems loud girls are the only thing Nate hos against the world. He aims to be a business manager eventually, and from his efficiency in running Mr. Cushman's Book Store and the concession stand at Cecilwood, we're betting on his success. Can you figure how he still finds time for sports? We can't. Basketball 1; Football 3,4; Track 3,4. WILLIAM J. PITTS, JR. Bill is an easy going guy whom everybody knows and likes. He likes girls with long hair, as well as hunting and cars. Bill's ambition is to get out of Beacon High this year for good. Dramatics 3,4; Wrestling 1; Distributive Education Club 4. THOMAS EUGENE PULCASTRO One of the friendliest members of the Senior Class is “Yukon Tom. Although enrolled in a business course, his main desire is to be a soloist in the “Skyliner Drum and Bugle Corps. Among Tom's likes are Brenda and Cheryl from Warwick, Al Hirt, watermelons and Senior Drum Corps. However, this former J.V. baseball player doesn't appreciate sneaky or loud-mouthed people. CHARLES BRUCE PLUMMER Although very modest, Bruce is known as one of the more mature members of the class. We recognized this soon after his arrival from New Hampshire lost year. He took a full time job nights and carried a full distributive education program. This initiative will be rewarded long before most of us pull ourselves together, throw off our sophomoric pursuits, and learn to apply ourselves as he does. 49 STANLEY RICHARD QUICK Stan plant a career in the field of antique collecting. Dishonest people and alcoholics head his list of pet peeves, while auctions tend to stimulate his interest a great deal. Stan is an individual who deeply appreciates culture and the finer things of life. He is easily recognized by the saying, I've got to get wheeling along. MARIA ANN REIL Maria, a future beautician, likes Fridays, swimming, and jokes. While disliking Mondoy mornings, she enjoys painting and movie going. Her pet peeve is grouchy people. PETER JOSEPH RAMPUTI Pete, a sharp dresser, is a guy you will seldom find at home. His likes include girls, pool, Chevys, and basketball. Among his dislikes are Monday mornings, crowded halls, and quiet girls. With his good nature and his ability to enjoy life, Pete will surely be a successful accountant — C.P.A. of course! Student Council 1; Basketball 1. JAMES ROBERT RAIBLE Jim, one of our real standouts in the sports world, has hopes of becoming a powerful dictator. Among Jim’s many likes are food, girls, money, sports cars, The Animals, and Cape Cod. His dislikes include the A P, clean football uniforms, but his real pet peeve is getting a haircut. Does it hurt Jim??? Football 1,2,3,4; Baseball 1; Track 2,3,4; Wrestling 1,2,3; Key Club 2,3,4; Yearbook 4; Student Council 1,2,3; Varsity Club 2,3,4. VINCENT ROBERTS Big Vin is one of those people who thrives on excitement. He likes dancing, girls, the Supremes, and lively parties. Dull parties, phonies, and ignorant people bore him. Vincent admires people who try to better themselves. When he says he hopes to become a famous executive, he's not aiming one bit too high. FRANCINE RICKER Who's the girl with the friendly smile, skidding into homeroom three minutes after the late bell? Why it's Francine Ricker! Fran, commonly known as Bonesy, has made many friends during her four years at BHS. Her success is due to her love of fun, consideration for others, and worm personality. Fran can face any situation, ridiculous or complex, with a smile and a dry “That's differenti Her likes are Saturday nights, and Chevys. Dislikes include Monday mornings. Chemistry, moody people, and glasses. Swimming Club 2; Science Club 1; Girls Basketball 1. MELANIE ROSE To misquote Shakespeare, “A rose by any other name would still be as sweet. The rose we refer to is our Melanie, Beacon's most ardent baseball fan. When baseball season is over, Mel turns her attention to keeping o certain right arm in shape, art, and folk singing. She dislikes only two things: cliques and autocrats. Chorus 1,2,3,4; Secretary 4; Student Council 2,3,4; Class Vice President 3; Year- book Staff 4; Twirling 1,2.

Her inviting personality and out-going woys win her many friends. Chorus 1,2,3; Guidance Office 1; Attendance Office 1. SANDRA SUE RIGGS JOHN RUDZINSKI Who's the big guy always giving the junior members of this school dirty looks? Why it's Dinger, of course. It seems this is John's major complaint about our beloved BHS. Not everything's too bod, however, for John can alwoys find refuge from these menaces by contemplating his favorites, namely girls, cars, swimming, and bowling. Oh, well, at least none of the midgets will dare take you on, Johnl WILLIAM R. SCOFIELD Scoff is the outdoor type and likes hunting, fishing, and skiing. With all those activities waiting, it’s easy to understand his dislike for short weekends. Another reason could be his fondness for girls, unless they're snobbish. Con't you picture Scoff sitting by a stream catching fish to study in his lab? Cross-Country 1,2; J.V. Football 3. JOHN WALTER SCADURA This quiet senior likes just about everything and dislikes nothing. Bowling is his forte, with golf running a close second. His interest in woodworking provides a good start for this future architect. J.V. Football 3. JOANN scon • Did you ever walk down the hall and hear a willowy blonde say, Oh, Geel” It's no one other than happy-go-lucky JoAnnl Jo, a very charming girl with a warm personality, gets along with everyone except conceited people. She enjoys skiing, dancing, and Sundays with Ricky. When she's a happily married child nurse, she won’t have to worry about 7th and 8th graders bothering her. 52 PAUL PETER SHEVETONE “Ain't bod it the quick reply that can only be heard from Soweegy, a great fun-loving guy whote deep thinking keeps him a little on the quiet tide. Though quiet, you could never keep Soweegy away from a good party and a good time, but loud people — Bewarel Soweegy loves Jagt, Vettet and basketball, and once a week ot the pocket billiards it a mutt. Sure success for this young man it inevitable. Student Council 1; Basketball 1. TIMOTHY HALL SEARLES Who's the guy whistling the latest folk tune? Tim, a future Borry McGuire, thinks folk tinging and playing the guitar ore tops, next to sailing and messing around. Tim hos a strong aversion to socialism, and running a close second is his dislike for other local schools, so don't you dare coll him Admiral or Indian. We imagine Tim will someday invent his own language os the spelling rules of this one don't agree with him. Well, lots of luck, Tim.

RUTH SIMMONS Ruth, a recent, ambitious addition to our class, hopes to continue her education after graduation. She is taking a business course and likes sewing and reading. Her only dislikes are football and tennis. In her estimation, That's for the birds . DONNA LYNN SHEELEY Sweet but swinging is a fairly accurate description of our Donna. She likes pizza (preferably on Friday nights), water skiing, and swimming, but can easily do without American History. Boys who wear white socks—bewarel Donna just can't stand them. All Donna requires to complete her happiness is to leave Beacon as soon as possible. We're certainly going to miss herl 53 KAREN ANN SLINSKY To look at carefree, bubbly Karen, you'd never guess that she hates to get up in the morning. This happy senior likes Charley, friendly people, Saturday mornings, and buying clothes. Her job at IBM keeps her so busy that she often has homework to make up, one of the few things she dislikes. A warm, friendly girl, Karen's success is assured in any field. Cheerleading 2,3; Office Aide 2,3; Future Secretaries Club 4; Cooperative Work Experience. HARRY JOHN SMITH Harry, who likes all sports, art, and girls, plans to further his education in college and then join the Navy. Harry's few dislikes include flirts and boring classes. His pet peeve is stuckup girls (we wonder why). With his drive and ambition, Horry is sure to be a success. Football 3,4; Wrestling 2,3,4; Track 3,4; Band 2,4. GLENN A. SMITH If you're ever up at the Ski Lodge and see something swish by you on a pair of skis, you'll know it's Smitty. When the winters don’t give forth a lot of snow, you'll find Glenn eyeing Chevys, especially Sting-Rays. It seems Smitty dislikes Monday mornings because they break up his Sunday afternoon visit with Joan. As long as the snow keeps falling, we are sure Smitty will make a great Olympic Team skier. BARBARA ANN SOLTISH Fun-loving, dependable Barb always wears a smile on her face. She enjoys parties, meeting people, and fun in general. Unfriendly people and crowded halls are two things Barb can do without. If anyone has a problem, he can always find a sympathatic ear and a warm heart in Barb. Here is the type of person we should all try to be.

This talkative senior says her dislikes are many and that her pet peeve is life. Judging from her many activities, the latter is obviously false. As for her liking debate trips, just ask her about them sometime. Chorus 1,2,3; Yearbook 4; Debate Club 2,3,4; National Honor Society 2,3,4; Library Aide 1,2,3,4; Student Council 2. JOHN EARL SOUTER Buddy is a quiet but out-going guy who likes friendly and sociable people as well as attending parties and dances. He spends his leisure time swimming, bike riding, fishing, and making airplane models. His major dislikes are anti-social and loud people. With his fine personality and determination, John will make a fine officer in the ormed services. GLORIA ANN STEFFANCI Gloria is strictly an individualist. She says what she thinks and thinks about what she says. She hates getting up in the morning, but, once she's up, she's raring to go. Gloria likes football games and warm weather so she can go swimming. You will always see her where the mood is swinging and the ratio of boys to girls is at least 3 to 1. Chorus 1,2; Future Nurses Club 1,2; Yearbook 4. JULIA CAROLYN STANTON Judy likes sewing, baseball, swimming, and the collecting and making of puzzles. Although she dislikes nosy people and stuck up girls, her pet peeve is being called Rabbi. Judy plans to be either a bookkeeper or an accountant.

IVOR DELORIE TANNER Ivor, another future executive secretary, is gaining valuable experience while working at IBM afternoons. A warm, friendly girl, Ivor likes conservative parties, and bowling, but has a decided aversion to braggarts ond loud girls. The people who disturb her the most are those who think they know it all. Dramatics Council 3,4, Secretary; Office Aide 3; Cooperative Work Experience. CAROLYN VIRGINIA TALIAFERRO Today, an industrious student — someday, a laboratory technologist. That's Carolyn.

ROBERT NELSON TATE If Bob isn't out of doors taking part in some sport or inside studying, you can bet he'll be listening to his favorite folksinger. Bob Dylan. He also enjoys jazz albums or other folk music. Ridiculous comic strips and a rough football practice after a hard day don't quite agree with Bob, but he puts up with them. Bob's great personality will help him to achieve his fondest goals. Key Club; Football 1,2,3,4; J.V. Basketball; Band 1,2; Varsity Club; Track 1,2,3,4; Student Council 2. 56 MICHAEL G.

JESSE THOMAS Jesse is one of the more reserved members of our class, but don't let his quiet ways fool you. This future IBM executive has the drive and ambition to go ploces. Jesse enjoys tennis, basketball, swimming, sports cars, and good-looking girls; he dislikes nothing in particular. A guy with so much going for him is bound to be a success. Cross-Country 1. THOMAS DREW TROCHAN Drew is a quiet, friendly guy with o yen for Chevys. He likes to spend the few hours he is in school reading 'Hot Rod , a mogozine he really digs.

WENDY IRENE THORN Bright, bubbly, vivacious — thot's Wendyl A terrific dancer who adores mohair sweaters and beatnik poetry, she makes a lasting impression on everyone she meets. You con't help being affected by her wit ond charm. However, there ore o few things that disturb her usually gay nature, namely: rudeness, marshmallows, simplicity, and being tapped on the shoulder.

Football 1,2,4; Wrestling 1; Distributive Education Club 3; Beocan Echo 4. Janice is a girl who really likes people, unless they're noisy or nosy, and enjoys being with them. She loves sports, especially basketball and football. The only thing that can dampen the spirits of this gay senior is walking to school on a rainy day. A future business school, we're sure Janice will make a terrific secretary for some fortunate businessman. Cheerleading 3,4; Volleyball 2,3; Basketball 1,2. JANICE MARIE VALENTINE BEVERLY JEAN VANSLYKE At every football game, there is a band. In every band, there is a twirler. It's very possible that the twirler in question is Bev — a likeable person with a winning smile and the ability to bring out another's sense of humor. She likes Pete, skiing, and horseback riding, and would like to see crowded halls and gym classes abolished. Judging from her beautiful blonde hair, she'll make a terrific hair stylist.

It's easy to see why Mike wouldn't like beiny couped up in school all year, especially while studying such courses as English and history (but engineering requires an education). If he just keeps saying “Those are the breaksl perhaps it’ll make Mike's situation happier, and immature people won't bother him too much. Science Fair; Magazine Drive. MICHELE C.

SHARON ANNE WEYANT Sharon, another future secretary, doesn't spend any more time at school than is necessary. She'd rather listen to Peter, Paul and Mary or go swimming if the weather permits. No matter where she is, Sharon dislikes conceited people and can talk for hours on the evils of no senior privileges. Office Aides; Future Secretaries Club 3; Cooperative Work Experience.

The only complaint thot Flip has is getting up on Monday mornings (We don't blame him). BARBARA WILKINS The word for this smooth kitten has to be velvet. If beauty were but skin deep, she might be content to become Miss America or Miss Universe, but this chick has got more. She has some big talent as an artist, and those deep books she carries are read by her. Her plain but greot ambition is to marry the man I love. Oh yes, he's gotta have a nice smile. HERBERT WILLIAMSON, JR. A future engineer, Herb believes in supporting his school on the field as well os in the stands. Active in many sports, he claims that his favorite is now bowling. Boys who don't go out for a sport head the list of Herb's dislikes. Running a close second, however, are students who rush through the halls. Football 1,2,3; Basketball 1,2,3; Trade 1,2,3.

We have all worked to prepare for the fu- ture, and we have had laughs together to enjoy the present. In September we began our last year with a desire to raise money and to heighten our class spirit. Our first effort, a bake sale on Election Day at the poll at Beacon High, proved successful. The sale of Christmas paper followed and was not only profitable but also a great dael of fun. On January 28, Joe Gerentine was chairman for one of the most enjoyable events of the year—the Senior-Faculty Basketball Game. Although we suffered a 67-59 loss, the Seniors will be re- membered for displaying determination and skill. Wiht the luck of the Irish and the planning of Chairman Gloria Donofrio, the Senior Class held a very beautiful evening reception for their parents and teachers at Rombout on March 17. The committee heads were Barbara Soltish, Georgeanne Paolino, and Linda Moran. On April 1 we entertained the Jun- iors in room 320. Songs, dances, and skits were presented by members of the Senior class. Sandi Hughes was chaiman and Gail Cooper, Wendy Thorn, Mindy Gruenbaum, and Mary Anne Murphy were the committee for this successful party. On Saturday, June 4, our class was the first to have its senior prom at the new Holiday Inn near Fishkill. Chairman George Urciuoli was aided by his com- mittee heads: publicity, Michael Tobin; tickets and arrangements for the queen and her attendants, Barbara Phelps; in- vitations and photography, Linda Mor- an; entertainment, Karen Slinskey; dec- orations, Sharon Lane. These Precious Moments will hold a place in our hearts not only as the theme for our elegant prom but also as the descrip- tion of our years together.

There were senior-junior, sophomore-freshmen, and junior high divisions. The senior-junior gym classes which were rela- tively small stayed with individual sports while the other classes participated mainly in group sports. In the fall a Leaders’ Club was formed. Its main purpose was to help supervise in gym classes and to start intramurals. Volleyball and basketball teams were formed and met once a week. This lasted throughout the fall and winter. With the coming of spring also came tumbling and the long-awaited trampoline. But, of course, this couldn’t last forever, so baseball and tennis took its place. We thank Miss Fuller and Mrs. Anderson for their help and interest in the field of girl's sports. 106 VARSITY CHEERLEADERS First Row (l-R): Linda Manglass.

Second FALL PLAY This year’s first production of the Dramatics Council was Bad Seed” which was presented on November 19 and 20. It was directed by Mr. Laing with Barbara Porreca as asistant to the director. Rhoda Penmark, played by Janet Nelson, is a sweet, innocent girl who is loved by all who know her. Mrs. Penmark's suspicions are aroused, how- ever, when one of Rhode’s friends is drowned at the school picnic. He had won the penmanship award that Rhoda felt was hers. Learning this the audience is placed in a state of wonder mixed with mystery and tension. Because of the superb per- formance of the students, a chilling atmosphere prevails. Finally it is revealed that Rhoda is a killer by heredity. Her grandfather and her mother, the only people who know this, die and leave Rhoda a potential threat to all. Once again the Dramatics Council has staged a very sucessful play. Each member of the cast was very well suited for his role and proved that Beacon High indeed has gifted students.

Eleven girls from our school who passed Steno II and Transcription in their junior year were eligible to participate in the Cooperative Exchange program. They went to I.B.M. together and were all interviewed individually. They first had a discussion group and then were sent to the Recruiting Lobby where they waited for their names to be called for their interview. Two weeks passed and nine girls were chosen to work at I.B.M. and two were accepted at the Farmers’ Matteawan National Bank. They were told that being a co-op student would not guarantee them permanent jobs after graduation. They would have to apply like any other applicant and take the pre-employment test. The first week the girls had classes in which they learned office policy, telephone etiquette, use of the Executive typewriter, and other essentials of business. The girls do typing, answer telephones, take dictation, use the reproducing ma- chines, and most important, get to know more people, and learn how to get along with them. The co-ops are very lucky that they have an opportunity to work and go to school also. They not only have extra spending money each week, but they also have more experience and a better chance to be hired after graduation than a regular graduate of high school. The girls all feel that the Cooperative Exchange Program is a very worthwhile project and is one of the many examples of the progress being made in Beacon High School every day. 119 FIRST SEMESTER ECHO STAFF First Row (l-R): Beverly Von Slyke, editor; Michoel Tobin, Papo, Donna Carroll, Daniel Johnson.

INDIAN CHIEF... ...When you were a child, grownups used to ask you, What are you going to be when you grow up? Chances are, people ask you a similar question now that your high school graduation is approaching. Only they no longer add the when you grow up, and not much time is left now for changing your mind. What will you be? The choice largely is yours. You have reached the age of looking at yourself, weighing your abilities, investigating your opportunities and then, after careful consideration, deciding just what goal or goals you will set out to attain. Your goals can be very specific like, I will be a hotel chef, or very general like, I will study liberal arts at a college. The important thing is that you realize this: the decisions you make now will affect the decisions that follow. You are choosing a direction for your future — a future which, without direction, probably would be wasted. So it is very important that you give this decision your very best attention. You must look realistically at yourself and at the opportunities available to you. If your search for direction is realistic, your answer probably will be too: you not only must, you will find the direction best for you. .. What will you be? You will be on the right track. 138 IBM COMPLIMENTS OF DUTCHESS MANOR 139 DUTCHESS Midtown Barbershop 1« 0 MAIN STREET 1 ELIZA STREET BEACON, NEW YORK Joseph Gerentine, Prop. 140 BROWNELL MOTORS, INC.
