Bellows Falls High School - Sampler Yearbook (Bellows Falls, VT)

Text from Pages 1 - 136 of the 1974 volume:

THE FRIEND WHO JUST STANDS BY When trouble comes your soul to try, You love the friend who just “stands by Perhaps there’s nothing he can do — The thing is strictly up to you; For there are troubles all your own, And paths the soul must tread alone; Times when love cannot smooth the road Nor friendship lift the heavy load, But just to know you have a friend Who will “stand by” until the end, Whose sympathy through all endures, Whose warm handclasp is always yours — It helps, someway, to pull you through, Although there’s nothing he can do. And so with fervent heart you cry, “God bless the friend who just ‘stands by’!” B. Y. Williams SCHOOL BOARD The theme of this yearbook is “Friendship”. Friendship can be exhibited in many ways such as close love and affection, respect, help, financial aid, gifts and many others. We as a board have tried to express our friendship to the youth of the area by establishing one of the outstanding secondary education buildings in the country and by providing in it the best curriculum possible. The youth of the area have returned the friendship of the board by friendship of their own in the way they have treated the facilities pro- vided and by their pride and pleasure in the use of them. We are both benefiting from the mutual friendship. Members of the Board of School Directors gave much time and effort toward creating a friendly atmosphere. It can be truly said these gentlemen are the unseen friends of the students at Bellows Falls Union High School. Mr. Harry Weiser Administrative Principal The educational program at B.F.U.H.S. is based on the philosophy that all stu- dents will have an opportunity to devel- op the inherent intellectual, emotional, and physical characteristics of that individual.

Ralph Waldo Emerson Mr. Gleason is that type of a person — a friend in whom all may confide. We, the class of nineteen hundred seventy four proudly dedicate our Sam- pler to Mr. Allison Gleason, a man who is always happy, friendly, and smiling. He is a gentle man usually seen among his students. In ad- dition to his classroom ac- tivities in the Business Department, he works with students in operating our school store. Mr. Gleason surely is a friend who “stands by”. Thank you, our friend!

MATH The Math Curriculum was expanded to accomodate more students on all Math levels. More films were used to make Math interesting. The Department is in the pro- cess of convincing the School Board that a computer would be useful for the school. SOCIAL STUDIES This year the Social Studies Curriculum was built up to more than 35 quarter courses. These courses ranged from Ancient History to register- ing students to vote. The Social Studies De- partment selected students to work with var- ious community organizations. The major pro- ject was UN Day with exhibits, and Olympics which involved over 1400 students. Mr. Rogers, Math — “A friend is someone who gives as well as takes, dependable, one for whom there is mutual respect.” Mr. Johnson, Science — “There are many obvious attributes one can look for and find in a friend.

Within each area there are suggested programs for a student to follow, with the ultimate goal of a saleable skill for today’s job market or continuing education. Students at Bellows Falls should remember that whatever their post high school plans are, a knowledge of the busi- ness world and how it operates will be important to them. SCIENCE The Science Department at B.F.U.H.S. attempts to offer a comprehensive program, designed to meet the needs of the students. In the past two years, we have instituted offerings In physical sci- ence 502 and biological science 513 which allows a student to progress at his or her “own rate” within reason. The student who is planning to go on to post-sec- ondary education is encouraged to take our se- quence of four lab-oriented offerings: I.P.S. 500, 1 biology 512, chemistry 524, and physics 522. 1 One of our future goals will be to attempt to co- ordinate the science offerings in grades nine through twelve with an emphasis on the environ- mental aspects. HOME ARTS Food and fashion . . . a wise consumer in days of inflation .. . lots of gourmet chefs .. . a stable marriage with happy children .. . teen problems .. . “What are you making today?” . . making the practical as well as being creative . .. fun, fun, fun, and never two days alike. ACCELERATED ACHIEVEMENT CENTER In keeping with the school’s philosophy that every student has the right to an educational program responsive to his needs, the Accel- erated Achievement Center was established. The purpose of the center is to accelerate the learning of students experiencing aca- demic problems in the areas of Written Expression, Reading and Math. A combination of small, daily classes and individualized instruction helps the student catch up more quickly than he might in a large group setting. 18 PHYSICAL EDUCATION Ever since they were first start- ed, co-ed gym classes have been very popular. This year there was one co-ed class for every period of regular gym classes. The teachers and students have been very optimistic about these classes and hope that they will continue in the future. A wide variety of classes have been offered including archery, field hockey, track and field, and team handball. INDUSTRIAL ARTS In the woodworking part of the Industrial Arts department, students are making furniture and lamps. In electronics, T.V. ’S are being made on small en- gines. Students taking drafting learn the fundamentals of me- chanical drafting. Mr. Pickering, Physical Education — “The security gained through a friend- ship is worth all the loneliness of not having one.” Miss Rodia, Physical Education — “Friendship is like china; dainty, fine and rare — once broken easily mended but the crack is always there.” Mr. Bisbee, Physical Education — “Friendship means having a friend you can totally depend on in good times and bad.” Mr. Brys, Music — “Friendship is re- spect and understanding.” Mr. Henry, Music — “I look for loyalty and dependability in a friend.” Mrs. Wetherell, Art — “A good friend is one who will listen to you when you are blue or disturbed.” Mr. Fawcett, Arts and Crafts — “Friendship and loneliness have much in common.” Mr. Wyman, Industrial Arts — “A good friend should always be willing to help in any situation.” Mr. Comtois, Industrial Arts — “Friends are there when you need them.” Mr. Bliss, Industrial Arts — “There are three faithful friends: an old wife, an old dog and ready money.” ART The Art and Arts and Crafts departments have been busy with all kinds of drawing, painting and crafts medias. The students creative imaginations have stretched from acrylic pallet knife paintings to two feet by four feet stain glass window designs, to mobiles made out of life savers. In the early part of the year a field trip to the Stratton Mountain Arts Festival was planned which was en- joyed by many students. A spring trip to Boston, an annual event, has also proved to be an enjoyable and educational experience. PASSPORT WORLD MUSIC The Music Department was busy organizing concerts for the school and community. There were three choral groups and in order to be- long to Choral Ensemble, one also had to participate either in Mixed Chorus or Girls Glee Club. To encourage students to participate in music, there were a wide variety of music classes offered, including Music Appreciation. Also on the Music Department’s calendar were a number of exchange concerts and clinics planned for the bands. Mr. Gherson — Attendance Offi- cer — A good friend should be honest, sincere and loyal.

Concert Band and the newly formed Wind Ensemble are the more serious groups. The Stage Band is more for show in that it is the only one in southern Vermont! Because of the type of music performed, the Pep Band has the most fun of all. There are over fifty students involved and each individual is equally important to the success of the entire program.

MATH CLUB The math club is open to any student who has an interest in mathematics. Its main objective is to further that interest through educational trips, and the support of a math team which com- petes with teams from Vermont and New Hampshire. DRAMA CLUB Really the spotlite club. It hasn’t been a very active organization since we moved from town to the country, due to the fact that we now have a Drama Workshop Class. This year’s group is small and mostly female. Each member is expected to learn to han- dle the light console, scenery and make-up. There is also time for work in acting tech- niques and improvisational theater. ROW 1 — D. Loring, L. Lasonde, M. Pintello, K. Roberts, S. Lawrence. ROW 2 — S. O’Connor, S. McCarthy, M. Shultz, R.

Hammond N.H.S. means different things to different people. For some it means an ultimate goal of high school. For others, though unat- tainable, it represents a select group of the academic leaders of our school. To the members, it means scholarship, leadership, charac- ter, service and achieving that 88 average and keeping it! At Christmas time that special “wildest imagings” letter arrives for some more Seniors and Spring brings Donkey Basketball, electing someone to the Hall of Fame of Great Americans and the banquet and final induction ceremonies of the year — that last chance for Seniors and the first one for Juniors.

I was involved with many different activities in- cluding several debates, discussions, and social activities. I not only met other people that also attended Model U.N., but students of the col- lege at which it was held. I learned about the procedures of the United Nations and saw how much was involved in every decision which was made.” Mary Beth Hitchcock CARE FOR NEEDY CLUB Doing things for other people: Knitting and crotcheting for the F.H.A. mitten tree, raising money. . baking like mad for the Unit- ed Nations Day food sale donating to needy organizations.

It’s easy to sit back and say how it should be, but it takes a lot of dedication and hard work to actually do it. We know it will not please everyone and that some errors were made, but we had our share of setbacks and hardships. At least some of us tried, and I would like to sincerely thank those who did. My Assistant-Editor, Maureen Kane, was always willing to help, and of course Gloria Law- rence, Senior Section; Elaine Fontaine, Business Manager; Terry Gallagher, Activities; Judy Haskell, Sports; John Frankiewicz, Pho- tography; Terry Kiniry; and everyone in the picture, all of whom con- tributed a lot.

Terrier football 1973 was a year of pleasant sur prises, disappointment, and lots of excitement Although finishing with a losing record of 3-4-1, an apparent consistent attitude of “never give up” prevailed throughout. This team should be proud of its wins and glories, and never will strive for Captains Real Bazin anything less. Mike Kane Windsor RECORD 2 B.F. 30 Hartford 26 B.F. 8 Mt.

Not only are they first in Vermont, but they are undefeated in the Southern Vermont League, first in the Connecticut Valley Conference, second in the Lyndon Relays, and sixth in New England. They finished their sea- son with a 103-7 record. Coach Russ Pickering’s system of practice must account for some of the team’s strength. While most teams usually practice running over- distance, Coach Pickering keeps times of his runners on a course and each time it is run the boys must better their previous times. Run- ning against the clock and each other gives the runners individual goals to strive for each day. This helped them accomplish the score of 15 to 50 that they tried for at meets. Runners only get out of practice what they put into it, though, and this year’s captain, Duane Miller, put enough in to come out with the individual state-championship, as well as the CVC and SVL titles. During October Duane ran in ten races, and set nine new course rec- ords in the process. The low-point of the season was taking only second at the Lyndon Relays after Duane led the team down the wrong trail. The high- point, of course, was winning the State Meet. The team was led through town by a motorcade, and a reception followed, organized by some of the mothers. The team also received individual jackets to celebrate their victory. Prospects are good for next year as the top seven runners this year consisted of two seniors, one junior, and four sophomores. Eighth and ninth positions were held by freshmen. The JV team was first in the CVC, sweeping the meet 1,2,3,4,5, with Pat Shaughnessy taking first. This young team will be lead next year by co-captains Ed Fisher and Tim Eno. Ed finished a strong third in the State Meet, and eleventh in the New England; while Tim placed thirteenth in the State. Bellows Falls has good chances of being number-one next year, too. However that honor will fall to the team who works the hardest for it. m rt A Eli I trying for goal times going up agony hill having to do penalty loops barbed wire trail today ■5 fot-V ' u CKamps i .. . who kicked Ed in the leg?? .. . holding hands at Springfield . wrong way Beetle Baum we’re Number One in Vermont!!

The Cross Country racers improved their techniques while the Alpine Team showed great determination in each meet in which they participated. The Jumpers took a “big jump” and progressed from a 20 meter to a 35 meter jump. The coaches had heart attacks during the jumping progress, but were pleased with the results of these people. At the beginning of the season, it was debatable if we should ski or concentrate on developing a very fine soccer team! We had no snow to work on for ten weeks. It was like basketball practice without a basketball! The team lost the services of one of our fine girl skiers, Joanne Lesser. She broke her leg skiing at Stratton Mt., but we are looking forward to Joanne returning with two legs next season. For next season, we will have a very experi- enced team and Assistant Coach Kennedy is going to take summer courses on an Indian Reservation to learn a new Snow Dance! SKI CLUB ROW 1 — A. Allwood, A.

Duane Miller, an outstanding runner, received the Track Meister’s Award twice this year, won the mile and the thousand yard run in the State Meet, and was a triple winner in two separate meets. After the first meet of the season at U.V.M., it was decided that due to the gas shortage, the rest of the meets would be held at Dartmouth. At the qualifying meet for Tri State, five boys qualified. They were: Duane Miller, one mile; John Dockum, shot-put; Ron Francis, 600 yard; Ed Smith, high jump; and Fred Boggess, 1000 yard. Of course we can’t overlook the strong per- formances by Steve Johnson, Jim Sears and all the underclassmen. Varsity — ROW 1 — J. Parant, M. Dowling, L. Jennison, J. Donzello, J. Donzello, E.

Allen, D. Long. Missing from picture: H. Peschl. SENIOR PLAY — “You Can’t Take It With You” This was the story of a crazy, happy family living life as they saw it. Memories include the fire crackers going off outside the trash can, Jill’s tremendous performance, Nancy dancing and the empty candy dish in the Second Act. GIRI S VARSITY TENNIS: ROW 1 — C.

SOFTBALL This year’s Softball team did very well considering that they started the season without uniforms, a back- stop and a field. Of course, a team with a “Peanut”, “Big Mac”, “Lobster” and a “Jigger” just had to do well! The team ended the season with 13 wins and 5 losses. The only comment they had to make was “Re- mind Jim to mark the field.” GOLF The golf team started out this season with high hopes and a young team. They had many close matches some of which they lost and others they won. They finished last in the Southern Districts and sixth in the Sectionals but they are optimistically looking forward to many good seasons in the future. R. Wickberg, A. Beals, R. Tenney, J.

Class Night was the culmination of lining up according to height, getting those hearing tests and learning the meaning of left, right, left, right with not much “pomp” but a lot of “circumstances”. The Class Histo- ry included memories of the move from the old school to the new, State Championships in Football and Girl’s Basketball, yellow brick roads, “You Can’t Take It With You” and THE FLOAT. Highlights of the class will were the leaving of Gail’s sneakers to the Donzello twins to use as skiis, overhead light bulbs to Mr. Johnson and boxing gloves for Leroy Lloyd. Of course the Prophesy placed classmates in creative posi- tions the world over. Then there was We’ve Only Just Begun”, Shirley Simple” and Bellows Falls, ever glorious ...” ALUMNI PARADE Despite threatening weather, the 1974 Alumni Parade was held with our good friends the Bronks serving as Grand Marshalls and Mary Beth Hitchcock as Queen with Terry Gallagher, Carol Gilman, Kathy Gleason, and Carol Grippo as her court. Dennis Michaud carried the newly received Rockingham bicentennial flag presented to the town by Lieutenant Governor John Burgess, and our Terrior float reigned supreme at least to the Class of 1974! And now we are officially Alumni of Bellows Falls Union High School. The 1974 Sampler Staff extends appreciation to Mrs. Thelma Bronk, The Brattleboro Daily Reform- er, John Frankiewicz, and John Dockum for photo- graphs during the year. - % C 'vv - 1 • .
