Many people are responsible for the success of a senior and his class, but few deserve more thanks than the advisors of a yearbook staff. It is they who realize just how much time, effort and money it takes to publish a yearbook. They also know just how important a yearbook is to a class. This is why we wish to express our most sincere gratitude to Mr. Robert Heron and Mr. Julien Ayotte. We Thank Mr. Ayotte, our business advisor, for being blessed with his “great financial wisdom”, which has allowed us to produce the kind of book we wanted. His great sense of humor has allowed him to accept our bills graciously. All we can say is: THANKS! We also thank Mr. Heron for having the courage to come back each year to face the headaches of deadlines and the hassles of dedications. His pres¬ ence has made our great task more enjoyable and worthwhile, and his devotion will never be forgot¬ ten. It is for this that the class of 1971 salutes you! m wmsmms m ■a� i ; gf|. iPliS?

Then he’s in high school and he still gets report cards. And his teachers Make his stay after school. His Mom and Dad try to understand but He doesn’t really think they do, but they’re still there anytime he Wants them, or needs them. Then his problems get bigger and his parents Can’t always help him, but they want to, and he really knows this. Then he’s a senior and he writes a yearbook, and this yearbook is Something special to him and he wants it to be something special To other people. So he dedicates his yearbook, the 1971 Epilogue, ADMINISTRATION (V « ■« (.] The job of a superintendent, especially in the Bel¬ lingham school system, is not by any means an easy task. His job is to fit the needs of the rising student population here in Bellingham. Successfully, for the past eleven years, this has been managed by Mr. An¬ thony C. Minichiello, Superintendent of the Bellingham School System. Mr. Albert A. Manning, principal of our school for the past five years, has in many ways added to the rising quality of Bel¬ lingham High School. His unending task is to see that our high school improves throughout the years. With his presence as principal, our school day has greatly improved in such a way that we have now a rotating schedule and activity periods. Due to his hard work and great accomplishments, he has made the student body of Bellingham High School more interested and involved in all school activities. 13 Bellingham High has a greatly respected man to enforce the school rules for grades nine through twelve. He is a man who handles the most difficult situations in an orderly way. With strong influence and undying devotion to our school, his every decision is for the well-being of each and every student. The enthusiasm and ele¬ vated morale of our students cannot be main¬ tained by anyone else but Mr. Gerard Frappier. This year we have had the need to appoint a Vice-Principal for the junior high students. We now have a new addition to our administration, Mr. Roger Canestrari. He is not, however, a new addition to our school, having taught here for several years. His new job is of great importance since the number of junior high students is almost equal to the number of high school students. His qualifications for the position include his at¬ tendance at Providence College and an eleven year teaching profession here at Bellingham. The whole student body welcomes you, Mr. Canes¬ trari, as our junior high Vice-Principal. 14 fi m l;l Another new position has been added to the administration this year. As Business Manager, Mr. Michael J. Reed is an as¬ sistant to the Superintendent. He has the task of handling the fi¬ nancial matters of the school system, such as purchasing and transportation. Mr. Robert M. Hagearty has the monumental job of trying to coordinate the elementary school curriculum. The purpose of this is so that all students coming out of grade school will have learned basically the same subject matter. 15 (■I fiali . ' - ' .I’ V ' «§ Iv.-i •■SCc-i VSiHlLS? Iml ” 5i{V ' fej ?

DUROCHER, Dietician Cafeteria «i mmammrn Class History Dora Tosches Carol Romiti “Memories pressed between the pages of our minds . . . memories sweetened through four years just like wine.” Having been washed away by the tide of time the experiences and happiness that we, the class of 1971, have shared, are now flowing back through our minds as oceans of cherished memories. Our tasks and visions which once slept in the darkness of our lives, have now been awakened by the dawn of victory. Soon the final curtain will close on our first stage of life, and we will no longer hold the title “Bellingham Seniors.” Before we depart in search of new horizons, we wish to close our eyes, and travel once again through four years laden with happiness and tears . . . Lowly, loathsome, lizard-looking freshmen?! . . . Not us . . . We were determined to show the world that such a title was not ap¬ propriate for the class of ' 71. Excitement, eagerness, and anticipation filled the air as we strolled through the halls on that memora¬ ble day, September 9, 1967. So proud were we of our new high school position. First bell rang . . . everyone to homerooms (if you can make it). The school was echoing with “What period do you have English?” . . . “What in the world is D.H. ?” . . . “Oh, gee, Mr. Frappier, detention on the first day of school?” And who can ever forget those famous words spoken by our beloved teachers. “Get away from those lockers” . . . “Go get a late slip” . . . and “the pass, well, is it an emergency?” Soon the commotion died down and we settled back into our normal, everyday lives at B.H.S. Now down to serious business. We had the responsibility of choosing those freshmen who would be our leaders for the next ten months. Receiving our whole-hearted support were Michael Hachey, president; Craig Keating, vice president; Helen Marcotte, secre¬ tary; and Charlotte Barsamian, treasurer. Guiding us through that first year was our loyal advisor Mr. Smith, and co-advisor. Miss Greenhalgh. Our first social activity was the traditional Freshman-Senior Get Acquainted Dance. We were all frightened, but enthusiastic at the prospect of finally meeting the seniors. However, to our disappointment, few of us freshmen received the privilege of actually talking to those upperclassmen,Jet alone dancing with one. From social events, our minds wandered to financial matters. By selling candy at basketball games, we managed to boost our treasury. Yummy candy bars for just a dime? Who could go wrong. As the month of June came upon us, we watched with sad eyes and hopeful hearts as the class of ’68 graduated. Visions of our goals came into view. Sophomores we were to become, headed in one direction . . % UP! With high hopes, we intended to prove that “WE HAD ONLY JUST BEGUN. “We started our walking, but we learned to run . . .” We were well on our way toward making a good year a great one. Our newly elected officers, president, Robert McDaniel; vice president, Arthur Knust-Graichen; secretary, Helen Marcotte; treasurer, Georgianne Parent; under the advisorship of Mr. Smith and our new co-advisor Mrs. Gray, created an atmosphere of glowing enthusiasm. Nothing could stop us now! There was an aura of uncontrollable excitement in the air! Our beautiful Blackhawk football team brought home their first victory. Do you believe it? Could we possibly defeat all the other teams in the Tri-Valley? Well, even if we didn ' t manage to wipe out the whole Tri-Valley, we were still proud of our industrious fighting Blackhawks. As the tension subsided, we concentrated on our raffle for a portable television set. “It isn’t legal,” we all heard. “You must call it a donation!” Well, whatever it was, it was a huge success. To top it all off, we gave our first dance to give away the television. The announcement of the lucky winner climaxed the entire night. We had hundreds of new ideas that year. After all, who could out think the class of ’71! However, not all of them were put to use, because before we knew it our sophomore year had ended. Before we left we learned one thing that would finally unite the entire class ... To work together. That illustrious statement became our motto. As our second year of high school came to an end, we looked toward the bright and promising future hoping that our tasks and visions would one day amount to more than just a dream. Juniors! Upperclassmen! That was us. We found it hard to believe that two years could have slipped by so quickly. First on our schedule was the election of class officers. Paul Hymon became our president, but due to his departure, the important position was taken over by Joann Daniel. Our vice president was Steve Godin; secretary, Colleen Bucciero; and treasurer, Deborah Decelles. Under the direction of Mr. Foster and Mrs. Gray, we set out to make our junior year the best one that we had experienced during our high school days thus far. Because of the increased number of Bellingham students, we found ourselves faced with double session. Most of us hated the idea of getting up to go to school at seven o’clock, but it had many advantages. We were now able to sleep all afternoon, hold jobs, and above all, school lunches were no longer served. In mid-October we finally received the meaningful symbols which would now distinguish us from underclassmen. Remember all the hands that were seen flashing around those shiny new ’71 class rings? Keeping in tune with the season, we set out on the project of selling Christmas candles. A yuletide dance was also held. Both of these holiday endeavors turned out to be very successful. Our next financial activity was the selling of sweatshirts, bearing the Black- hawk insignia. And who will ever forget the day of our historic slave auction! Girls were seen being led around by their “masters,” carrying stacks of books from class to class. (And we call this the age of “Women’s Lib!”) Not being prejudiced, the class of 71, de¬ ciding to give the girls a fair chance, held a (twerp) dance where a girl asks a boy. Popular phrases heard during this time were “should I ask him?” ... “I dare you to” . . . “all he can say is no” ... “I don’t have the nerve.” Turning toward sports, the basketball season brought much enthusiasm and excitement. The team received overwhelming support by the student body, as the gym was filled with cheering students during every game. The team’s diligence and hard work paid off as they won the Tri-Valley Conference Crown in their division. Three cheers for our Blackhawks! Finally, the time came that many of us had so long been waiting for: our first formal, the Junior Prom. The event was held at the Grist Mill, as Debra Hanley was selected queen, and Robert Constantineau, king. Beautiful traces and memories of that night will long remain with us in the “Windmills of our Minds.” With our junior year almost completed our class sponsored a car wash. Because of the help and guidance given us by Mr. Thuot and Mrs. Gray we were able to hold the final event in our junior class agenda: The Variety Show. Who can ever forget those rehears¬ als! Why weren’t we ever able to sing on the same key? There definitely is “no business like show business!” Within a few weeks, school was over, and our well-needed vacation was finally here. We had high aims and aspirations for our final year at B.H.S. Our unreachable stars appeared to be slowly falling to the earth. We could now imagine our tasks and visions as becoming reality. Our long awaited senior year had finally arrived. We now held the highest position that could be attained at B.H.S. In this brief moment of time, we found ourselves not as the boys and girls that first began high school, but as the young adults, the generation, that would soon take its first step out into the world. Leading us through our last year were Deborah Decelles, president; Paul Peterson, vice president; Colleen Bucciero, secretary; and Julie Bouffard, treasurer. Our new advisors were Mr. Ayotte and Mrs. Flanagan. We felt a most successful and prosperous year was in store for us. We began our year by welcoming the incoming freshmen at the annual Freshmen-Senior Get Acquainted Dance. The freshmen will never forget that we were “the righteous, regal, roaring, ruling seniors.” One of the most satisfying events during our year was the distribution of Thanksgiving baskets. The thankful responses given to us by the needy families filled us all with a great feeling of accomplishment. After many disappointments, the highlight of our football season was a victory over our arch enemy, Norton, at the Thanksgiving Day game. No one but our great Blackhawk team was more deserving of such an exciting and rewarding win. To our dismay, our routine school days at B.H.S. were interrupted by numerous phone calls declaring a bomb in the school. At first everyone was thrilled at the idea of missing classes, but soon we hated having to sit on the football bleachers during the cold weath¬ er. A new worthwhile undertaking by the seniors was the Drug Program. It provided a seminar and discussion period where the stu¬ dents and student leader could learn more about drugs and the ever-rising problem. Under the direction of Mr. Frappier, the program was aimed at the elementary grades five through eight. The initiation of this plan was met by support from teachers, students, and parents. The senior girls had their chance to display their talent, poise and appearance at the Bellingham Junior Miss Pageant. Selected as Bellingham ' s Junior Miss was Dora Tosches. Mary Prior was chosen First Runner Up, with Debra Hanley voted the one with the best talent presentation. Cindy LaValley was selected Miss Congeniality by her fellow contestants. With the Christmas season on hand, the selling of trees was our main fund-raising activity. The cooperation shown by everyone in¬ volved, aided in making the sale a terrific success. At our Christmas Party on December 23, the juniors and seniors danced until mid¬ night to the music of the Northeast Expressway. The holiday spirit entered the hearts of everyone who attended. With a new year right around the corner, we made plans for our remaining months in high school. Heading the list was our class play, Harvey. Such a comedy well suited our class. Not to leave the boys feeling left out, our next endeavor was another slave auc¬ tion where this time the boys were sold to the highest girl bidder. What a sight! The boys actually carrying the girls’ books! Even though we knew from our sophomore year that raffles were not allowed, we sponsored another one only this time for a colored tele¬ vision. Amidst these activities, we managed to take all the necessary tests for college requirements. Applications were a big hassle, but we pulled through with flying colors. We found it was all worth it. These remaining few months sped swiftly by us. We were looking forward to the end of school, but as senior week approached we realized that we would soon have to say our final goodbyes to the many dear friends we had made. May 28 is a night we will long remember. The Hearthstone Inn was the setting for our enchanted evening, the Senior Prom. The last two events which the senior class held were the class trip at Frank Davis’ and the class banquet. With these two unforgettable oc¬ casions over, we would make our final appearance as the class of ’71 on Graduation Day . . . Our past four years, as we have just related them, will always remain a part of us. We are now faced with the uncertainties of the future. We must now go out in search of new tasks and visions hoping that we will achieve even greater victories. There ' s so much of life ahead, a kiss for luck and we’re on our way, because once again WE ' VE ONLY JUST BEGUN . . . mnen Michael Hachey Boys ' State Rep. William Brisson Boys ' State Rep.

Class Advisors Although our class has had many advisors throughout our four years, we would like to thank Mrs. Flanagan and Mr. Ayotte, our senior class advisors, for having the pa¬ tience and courage to help our class in our last year. They have taken the place of Mr. Foster and Mrs. Gray, who have also contributed to the success of our class. We thank Mrs. Flanagan for her “stimulating” pep talks, which woke us up when we were at each others throats. We also thank Mr. Ayotte for his undying love of money, which built up our treasury. Without their guidance and help we would have had a difficult time in achieving our goals. Once again.

Four students with great leadership were chosen to run the class . . . Steve Shaeffer — President, Jeff Collamati — Vice-president, Linda Laferriere — Treasurer, and Denise Dupre — Secretary. With quite a different year than last year, the juniors were faced with Chemistry I . . . biology II . . . bookkeeping . . . ge¬ ometry and the thought of college boards. But — between all this commotion, the juniors added con¬ siderable “class” to their class. Outstanding activi¬ ties were the “Folk Night” and the “Breakfast.” Other successful activities included the selling of pens, bearing the school’s name . . . “Guaranteed to write two miles” . . . and a car wash which ended like a large bath for the poor girls . . . but it was a success and loads of fun and happiness. Among all the classes at B.H.S., the junior class, the class of 1972, is the most outstanding. They’re unique and contain much ambition and spark. The Class of 1971 leaves with you the advice of sticking together and becoming the greatest class to gradu¬ ate from the halls of B.H.S. Your final year is the most important, use it wisely! Along with this ad¬ vice, we leave you the position of the regal, right¬ eous, ruling, roaring seniors. Success and assurance are yours! 90 In Memoriam: MARCIA BRADEEN From Class of 1971 V 1 ' i N,; i - y In their second year of high school, the sopho¬ more class rurhed into the thick of the money-mak¬ ing business this year. After having a successful sale of stationery last year, the class bounced back with two dances and a raffling off of three savings bonds. The graduating class of 1971 wishes the class continued success. Advised by Mr. Morin and Mr. Conti, the officers are Top I to r. Secretary, Vivian Marchand; Presi- , dent, Linda Hamelin; Treasurer, Gwen McDaniel; Vice-president, Richard Pelland. Those Biology classes are so interesting! CLASS OFFICERS The freshman class has just had a taste of their first real year of high school. The officers of this class are Kevin Tuttle, President; Donna Patrick, Vice-president; Diane LeClaire, Secretary; and Lisa Muccini, Treasurer. Aided by their advisors Mr. Paul Cournoyer and Mr. Geoffrey Boyle, the freshman class has had a very successful year. Their activities consisted of the selling of Christmas candy, which was extremely profitable, and the freshman dance. : The junior high, which consists of the seventh and eighth grades, participate with much enthusiasm in the new senior activity, the Drug Program. These students make up a large population of our high school and have this year, for the first time, begun to progress. They have an Ecology Club, thanks to Miss Carol Manning, in which nearly the entire two classes are involved. Again for the first time, they are represented in the Student Council. With much assurance, this is truly the beginning of the rise of two great classes of the future, but only if they over¬ come some of their barbaric handicaps, such as “spitting” on the floor, and knocking one another against the walls during class changes. 103 niiiiii vy r - T ' t v� . ■“‘i Alt’ ■ ' .� •!.

It is mainly an honor and the club does little throughout the year ex¬ cept for an induction in the spring. All fund raising activities are for this purpose only, the reason being that students who are in the N.H.S. are involved in “too many other activities.” This year’s advisor is Mr. Paten- aude. 106 The Math Club has now been in exis- tance for two years. Under the direction of Mr. Kearnan and Mr. Guernon, the stu¬ dents in the club have greatly increased their math skills. Students from many differ¬ ent schools compete with two teams of five, after school. Since last year, they have climbed from the bottom of the heap to a midpoint with much higher positions in sight. 108 Talent Show This year, our Student Council concerned itself with the re vision of school policies. The SC took on the functions of the Student Board and appealed to the Administration whenever necessary steps needed to be taken. The new advisors for this year’s Council were Mr. Beaulieu and Mr. Thuot, and the officers chosen were Jo-Ann Daniel — President, Lionel Remillard — Vice-pres¬ ident, Christina Peterson — Secretary, and Connie Kanaski — Treasurer. As far as the social activities are con¬ cerned, the annual Christmas Party was held, which featured a group of talented young vocalists; An old fashion Film Festi¬ val; and the selling of candy, which added to their treasury and to school spirit. This year ' s Student Council has been an important asset to our school and will re¬ main to be. 109 A little Tequila?? Hombre??? A newly formed organization this year is the Spanish Club. The purpose of the club is to acquaint the students with the Spanish culture. In order to fulfill this purpose, the club planned various activities, some of which were a Fiesta, a trip to a Span¬ ish restaruant, and a visit to the ' -Spanish Club of Providence College. With about twenty-five members, the club had as advi¬ sor, Mr. Boyle, and as officers Marsha Bennett, President; Pat Gadwah, Vice-president; Susan Matthews, Secretary; and Hele¬ na Detore, Treasurer. The Ecology Club, advised by Miss Carol Manning, was formed for the sole purpose of making people aware of their environmen¬ tal problems — particularly pollu¬ tion. Forty-five students proved to be interested the first week and Miss Manning would like to have all schools and peoples involved. Already they have attempted to clean up certain areas near the beginning of the Charles River here, in Bellingham, in hopes that other communities will continue the task. Since Ecology has become the main concern, a half year course will be available next year con¬ cerning Ecology. Inder the direction of Mr. Velmo Ciavarini, the AA contributes greatly to the school’s Athletic Budget to elp buy equipment. 112 Mr. Mohan skis This year the ski club headed for Mount Snow for their biggest event for the seas on. The date was Feb. 16 and the day was beautiful. Besides this fantastic day long trip, the Ski Club made regular trips to Klein Innsbruck every Monday night during the skiing season. This year the advi¬ sors were Mrs. Flannagan and Mrs. Robidoux. Officers chosen were Janice Schram, Pres.; Char¬ lene Remillard, Treasurer; Sylvia Khalkhali, Secretary. 71TN nr w Lz KM itf ■ | I The FNA, a newly established club this year, was advised by Mrs. Turcotte and Mrs. Ferrelli. Despite the small number of mem¬ bers, the club had quite a successful year and our future nurses’ 1 were able to carry out Various helpful and worthwhile activities. These included a Valentine party for the pedi¬ atric s ward in Woonsocket Hospital, and the visiting of the elderly people living in rest homes. Plans were also made for the estab¬ lishment of a scholarship to be given to a Sen¬ ior member of the club who will pursue a ca¬ reer of nursing. The officers were Carol Romi- ti. Pres.; Mary Prior, Vice-pres.; Donna Marini, Sec.; and Connie Kanaski, Treas. The Future Teachers of America, advised by Mrs. D ' Alfonso was organized for students who intend to enter the teaching profession. Activities this year included listening to de¬ partment heads speak about teaching, acting as teachers’ aids, selling Christmas candy, and holding a bake sale. A scholarship was also expected to be offered to a $enior mem¬ ber. ' - trAtJ - 0 £ 116 vis 0 s t ' i An integral part of educational facili¬ ties at our high school is maintained by these boys. Advised by Mr. Morin, class¬ rooms are provided with projectors, rec¬ ord piayers, and other aids they may need at the time. IMPULSE In a year and a half of publication, IMPULSE has become the first newspa¬ per at BHS to maintain a consistent bi¬ weekly publication. It is also the first to operate on a profit-making basis, sup¬ porting a Korean child and donating books to the school with the majority of its profits. Usually at the core of controversy in the school, its editorial policy has been to campaign for student rights and at¬ tempt to better BHS as an educational institution. The staff has as its advisors Mr. Ge- iard Brisson and Mrs. Barbara Flana¬ gan. IMPULSE Staff Editor Mike Hachey, advisors Mrs. Flanagan and Mr. Brisson, Steve Schafer. The retiring seniors are editor Mike Hachey, typists Linda Minnis, Debbie Decelles and Julie Bouffard. Other mem¬ bers are Linda Lariviere, Claire Lamothe, Nancy Tessier, Janice Chiappone, Leni Balliro, Dick Prior, Kris Peterson, Ron Pa- risi, Lionel Remillard, Steve Schafer, Paul Robinson and Pat Yeomans. Denise Dupre, Joyce Conte and Debbie Mallard are also typists. Turning in their erasers are seniors Linda Minnis, Debbie Decelles and Julie Bouffard. 118 The library aids, student assistants to Mrs. Kelley, give freely of their time and ener¬ gy in service to the school through the library. They worked enthusiastically, helping students, delivering materials to teachers, organizing materials, cleaning, pasting, dusting — anything they are called upon to do to keep the library functioning smooth¬ ly. Drama Club The Drama Club has had an ex¬ citing year with the help of Mr. Walter Crepeau as its advisor. The officers are Paul Dupre, Pres.; Jeff Collamati, Vice-pres.; Kathy Nich¬ olson, Secretary; and Nancy Tess- ier, Treas. They put on a one-act play. The Feast, by Dan Wright, for the Mass. High School Drama Festival. They also put on one-act plays performed by each class in the high school. The Drama Club trip to the Veteran ' s Memorial Au¬ ditorium to view 1776, was en¬ joyed by its members. 119 (Flrirtg-tljirii (Cmnumtmiuutf i£xmm T dlmr mn Mmaritxl rijnol ©lass at XBZX aturkag, Imte twelfth m«-thtrtg xtrtntk SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Deborah C.

I. n i Bill Moffit’s the greatest. This year ' s Blackhawk Band was tre¬ mendously active at all football games and pep rallies. Composed primarily of Junior High students, the band shows great promise for the future. Director Mr. Alan Chamberlain Chess Co-captains for the 1970-71 Chess Team include John Kelly, Paul Robinson, and Jeff Picard. This year’s team proved to be very rewarding as last year the players were named the Blackstone League Champs for 1969-70. The team also won the Mos- tek trophy against Mount St. Charles. Ten to twelve matches were played this season. Other members of the club include Lionel Remil- lard, Steve Schafer, Gerald Smith, Walt Lewinski, Vincent Wentworth and Danny Weston. Their great coach is Mr. James Cheever who’s undying interest has made the Chess Club what it is. Majorettes Though still unofficially a part of our school, the majorettes have greatly con¬ tributed to school functions. They were not only seen performing their routines during the halftime shows at our foot¬ ball games, but also exhibited their spir¬ it and enthusiasm throughout our pep- rallies and assemblies. In our trophy case are displayed the trophies that have been won by the girls in numerous competitions. Despite the loss of our Seniors, Dora Tosches, Debbie Gadbois and Mary Prior, the remaining girls will prove to be an important asset to the football seasons to come.

Concerts were successfully held in March and May. The Anatomy of a School The anatomy of a school is a composition of many different features. It has certain characteris¬ tics which establish it as completely different from any other institution. However, what a school should be, and in reality is, are two different mat¬ ters. First, a school should be a place of learning; not merely an accumulation of facts, but an awareness into the depths of knowledge. It should be a time of growth and building. It should be a period of devel- opement of the mind and spirit, and an experience of emotions. A school should answer certain ques¬ tions and pose new ones. It should stimulate an ex¬ change of new ideas and opinions. Finally, there should be a cohesive union between all functions and phases of a school: academic as well as social. A school should be all of these; not one or a few, but all. But whether or not it is any of these things, is left up to the teacher, the system, and to the stu¬ dent himself. If it is not, it has not achieved its pur¬ pose. The Skeleton Bellingham High School has grown immensely in the past decade. In 1963 grades 9 through 1 2 were housed in a ten-room school on Harpin Street, without a dining room or a feasible library. In 1964, Bellingham Memorial Junior-Senior High School was dedicated to the veterans of all wars. This new school had 39 teaching stations, a li¬ brary, a dining room, and one of the largest gyms in the Tri-Valley League. However, as new families swarmed into the town, the Bellingham voters once again responded to the growing needs of the ever-mounting student population. In a referendum vote, a 81.3 million addition was passed. In September, 1970, this new section of the school was opened, and 1400 students occupied Bellingham Memorial. Added facilities in¬ cluded 20 new classrooms, a library twice the old size, another dining room, and an all purpose room-gym. Still growing, in the spring of 1971, a proposal for a 4-year high school was put be¬ fore the voters, capable of holding 2,000 students. The plan is for the existing school to become a middle school, housing grades 5 through 8. I « |acm ui ' M Muiib 6 Fttfttt R CiKsnw JF Wmo L B Kellct C«MB|| ! J I PiiKini Vice Pnom Vice Pimm G iiimice OllECTM Luueui thl o„ N� «e ' V I ' THIS SCHOOL DEDICATED IN MEMORY OF VETERANS OF ALL WARS 1964 126 However, we hope that through all this, everyone realizes that the impor¬ tance is not growth in size, but growth in quali¬ ty. Instilling the desire and motivation to learn is perhaps the school ' s greatest obligation. This is not necessarily brought about by shinier class¬ rooms and expensive desks. The Heart The heart of a school is in the students. They are the ones that will determine whether or not their being in school was of any value or importance. The school is there to provide the experiences on which the student will build his feelings and beliefs, but no book can teach a person how to get along with others. A student who lives an uncaring and dull existence will prove to be an apathetic adult later in life. n 129 I ■i___i_ The philosophy of education as stated in The Educa¬ tional Specifications for Bellingham High School, De¬ cember, 1970, is as follows: ‘‘The primary purpose of the development both mentally and physically, of the student to the fullest extent possible, in order that he or she may take a re¬ sponsible, contributing role in an ever-changing society rather than be dependent on it.” But here in Bellingham, there is more concern for grades than true intellectual achievement. Not many students strive to reach their fullest potential. Whether the reason for this is because they are not encouraged, due to lack of interest in the old methods, or because they simply see no reason to be concerned in what kind of an education they are receiving, is a question often asked. For the student to develop fully means to learn more about the world about him, apd become better adjust¬ ed to it. The mind should explore and evaluate the thoughts and ideals of others, as a means of formulat¬ ing his own concepts. Can the Bellingham school system make these claims about its students? BIOLOGY 31 - ■- ' i ■ JBBS ■ . ■ The Mind 130 , 131 ■ 132 ► ( The Spirit There is an old theory that the only time that school spirit develops is when the students are backing a winning team. However, it is our contention that this is not always true. Baseball here has for years been a winning sport, but only a handful of spectators ever show. Foot¬ ball has always been unsuccessful, yet after a certain Thanksgiving Day game, it appeared that enthusiasm couldn ' t have been higher. When basketball season rolls around, chants of “We’re Number 1! and “The Hawk Flies High!” fill the gym. Athletes and fans alike put their pride on the line when their team takes the floor. But whaF about the post-game activities? Is fighting included among the spirited fes¬ tivities? It is true that athletes are important to the development of a student’s charac¬ ter, but when the school spirit for sports takes priority over academics and social order, then there is something seriously wrong somewhere. Let us not forget that there are other kinds of spirit, not only athletic spirit. 133 . .. ■ , The Personality To the dismay of many, there are a. considerable number of different kinds of people in this world, many of which can be found right here in this school. The amazing part about it, is that the minute a person is different, whether in appearance or belief, he is instantly rejected by others. This re¬ jection may not be an open one, although it usually is, but whether it is or not, he is indeed a misfit in our own little world. Reform is considered to be a healthy situation, since reform is supposed to bring about betterment. At least this is what we have been shown through the ages, from one superior, intelligent civilization to another. If this is true, then why isn’t reform encouraged today? We feel that it is because reform and difference are usually associated with change, something which some people cannot accept, and, in fact, fear. As a result, people who are different are immediately condemmed and often labeled as “radicals.” People are different, they always have been and they probably always will be. But they have the right to be. People are allowed to be what they want, and think what they want, regardless of what others say. Diane Verhoest The Blackhawk Squad Dusty winds . . . Bellingham. .4 N.

Coach Canestrari had fine fielding to back his hurl- ers with Rex McGough at third, Paul Peterson at first, Steve Henessey or Ed Sikonski at short. Brad Wong, Mike Parisi, Vinnie Mottola and Paul Henessey in the field. The ' 70 team was a title contender until late in the season when four losses in six games was the coup de grace for the team. One game the players won’t soon forget will be that 25-0 win against Blackstone, a conquest in whose later innings (nearing dawn) saw the coach threatening to bench hitters who didn’t make outs. 138 Paul Peterson steps in to swing. McGough lashes out. Another double for Brisson. , 139 Our M.V.P. manager. Steve Henessey chucked a few for the Hawks. After what has been an unpar¬ alleled career, Mr. Roger Canes- trari ended his days as baseball and basketball coach to take on the vice-principalship. He led his hoop teams through five seasons and his baseball squads through six, and in the process netted three TVC championships and sev¬ eral divisional titles. Under his guidance Bellingham High School has been firmly established as a power in these sports. 140 Coach Donald Horan and the J.V. Hawks , 141 Golf It wasn’t until the last match of the year that the Bellingham High linksmen were thwarted in their bid for the 1970 Tri-Valley Conference Championship. This loss to Hopedale by a score of 5-4 knocked them out of first place, although the team main¬ tained a record of 12 wins and 3 losses. Included in their win column were victories over both Hopedal e and Holliston, the previous year’s TVC co-champi¬ ons. Under Coach Bill Mohan, the gold team has maintained a winning record in every year of its ex¬ istence. His first-ranked player, Dick Cournoyer, has consistently defeated the top players in the league. The squad is further bolstered by juniors, Wayne Wyman and Steve Ritchie, and sophomores, Marc Dulac, Joe Gelineau and Paul Skrzat. Home matches are played on the links of the Winnesucket Country Club in Bellingham, a course recognized as the most rigorous test of golf in the area. The boys are provided with free practice, golf balls, tees and transportation. The only necessity on the part of the individual is to provide his own clubs and a determination to win. “Those !(a) %!?! traps!” I Clockwise: Doubles team of Beaulieu and Pinnsonault; Mike Perry ' s stylish forehand; Attwood prepares for a service; Bruce Crepeau at a key moment; Coach Cheever surveys the dismal Milford match. 144 i Tennis 1970 was a banner year for the high school netmen. Coach Jim Cheever led his team to a 10-1 league season, 16 and 6 overall. Among the year’s accomplishments were: the capturing of a league co-championship berth with Medway, entrance into the Eastern Mass. Tennis Tournament where the Hawks were edged by Boston Col¬ lege High School, twice beating arch-rival Dover Sher- born, holding the Lenox trophy against King Philip for an¬ other year and defeating Dean Junior College. The players who made the season so successful were Russ Arnold, Bruce Crepeau and Mike Hachey in the singles slots, and Dave Pinnsonault, Guy VanHelden, Brian Attwood, Mike Perry and George Beaulieu in dou¬ bles. Much credit for the team’s success must go to Coach Cheever. He scheduled eleven exhibition matches for the squad, and never showed any reluctance to travel as far as Providence so his team could play the best competition available. Mr. Cheever’s zealous enthusiasm made him one of the area’s most unpopular coaches among other teams, and somehow this made matches that much more fun. Coach Paul Cournoyer developed the 1970 track team into the most successful in the school’s history. His enthusiasm for the sport was contagious, and he established a large squad with enough underclassmen to hold promise for the years ahead. In the running events. Art Ferland, Russ Cons- tantineau, Paul Caouette, Dennis Carr, George Chevalier, Bob Bissonette, Jerry Chevalier and Rick Lamarre all turned in fine performances. Coach Paul Cournoyer and the 1970 Track Team. In the field events, well-muscled Rich Gagne cap¬ tured the school record for the shot put, constantly out-throwing the musclemen of other TVC towns. Leaping Jim Mclssac bagged the record in the hop- skip-jump; Denny Seeley and Ron Fernandes were outstanding in the javelin and broad jump events, respectively. Other top fieldsters were Dave Staples, Nick Sacco and Lionel Remillard. M7 i Top harrier Al Ricciardi edges Art Ferland. Without a single senior, the Blackhawk X-Country team found a successful 1970 season with the largest squad in this school’s history. Coached by enthusiastic Paul Cournoyer, the top runners include co¬ captains Al Ricciardi and Art Ferland, Paul Caouette, Rick Lamarre, Russ Constan- tineau, Ed Sikonski, Steve St. Germain, Bruce Trudeau, Ron Fernandes, Bruce Cre- peau, George Fafard, Ray Riendeau and Paul Dupre. 148 Football Coach Richard Southwick’s Blackhawk grid team had only one victory in 1970, but that emotion-packed Thanksgiving win over Norton meant the season to the team and was definitely a premonition of better years ahead. Freshman quarterback Kevin Maines rushed for the winning TD in the turkey tilt, scored his own conversion and Paul Hymon added six more on a 34 yard rush. Bellingham’s sign held against the Norton crowd as did the Hawk defense to leave Norton scoreless. The team is losing Capt. Bill Oliver, Scott Bayer, Bill “Hulk Tampsett and Paul Hymon, but promising un¬ derclassmen will fill the ranks including Kevin and George Maines, Steve Labastie, Dave Staples, Les Clark, George and Gerry Chevalier, Nick Sacco, Frank Flynn, Roy Dorval, Bill Matthews, Randy Daignault, Brad Bulgar, Ray Garcia, Mike Bileau, Rich Prior and Dave Tampsett.

The team re¬ ceived another Tech Tourney bid and captured the division A title. Important games during the season began with Holliston when Bruce Crepeau and McDaniel gave fine late period shooting performances to give the team a 5-point edge. The duo did the same the very next game against Hopkinton, both coming alive after intermission, as the Belling¬ ham defense held the challengers to 4 points in the final period. Medfield’s Daniels and Millis’ Monaghan both proved too much for Coach Trudeau and company, these two players scoring in the 30’s against the Hawks. Al Ricciardi hooped 22 points in the Medfield con¬ test, however. The triple-overtime thriller in Dover proved to be the most exciting game of the year. McDaniel fired 32 points but got little help from the rest of the squad as Bellingham was defeated 62-56. Tri-Valley League The Blackhawks team included Paul Basile, manager, Marc Belhumeur, Roy Dorval, Les Clark, Dennis Seeley, Mark Karakeian, Co-captains Bob McDaniel and Paul Peter¬ son, Al Ricciardi, Bruce Trudeau, Ed Sikonski, Bruce Crepeau, Dave Staples and Coach Andre Treudeau. Joining McDaniel in starting roles were Crepeau, Ricciardi, Ed Sikonski and Paul Peterson. Peterson became infamous as one of the most vicious re¬ bounders in the league, flinging a very mean elbow. 154 SEASON RECORD Bellingham 69 Hopedale 58 Bellingham 98 Blackstone Valley 48 Bellingham 49 Norton 34 Bellingham 62 Nipmuc 52 Bellingham 81 Norfolk 27 Bellingham 75 Blackstone-Millville 39 Bellingham 51 Holliston 46 Bellingham 49 Hopkinton 47 Bellingham 57 Medfield 76 Bellingham 70 Medway 48 Bellingham 69 Ashland 59 Bellingham 56 Dover 62 Bellingham 52 Millis 56 Bellingham 61 Hopedale 45 Bellingham 69 Nipmuc 49 Bellingham 71 Norfolk 48 Forfeit victory over Nort on Bellingham Blackstone Valley Bellingham Blackstone-Millville INDIVIDUAL SCORING Name F.G.

Bob has been a fierce competitor in the rebounding department also, using his height and physical strength to sweep the boards. During his junior and senior years. Bob dominated the team and brought it to two divisional wins and bids into the Tech Tourney. The style of play at which he looked best was to grab a rebound, weave downcourt past all defenders and loop a jump shot from behind the head posi¬ tion. It was common for Bob to roll up three or four consecutive baskets in this manner, continually bringing the team back from near defeat. 156 iljfl refracj JEM 3 , 1 i IBELL The masked marvel Al Ricciardi shown in his two guises.
