WILDCAT ’69 BETHEL HIGH SCHOOL Bethel • Connecticut DEDICATION 2 MRS. CAROL BRAWLEY We, the Class of 1969, dedicate our yearbook to Mrs. Brawley. What Mrs. Brawley has given us, words cannot express. A wonderful person who possesses all the admirable quali- ties one could desire from life comes but once in a lifetime. We feel Mrs. Brawley is that special person. Her warm smile and helping hand have gained Mrs. Brawley the nick- name Mom. In many aspects, she is even more than a, Mom. She has given unselfishly of herself for as long as we can remember. She has never doubted us, but, instead, has stood behind us to defend our cause- Her many sugges- tions have served as our guiding light to lead us down the pa til toward a rich and rewarding future. We only hope that our lives will be as full of love, warm heartedness, un- selfishness, generosity and all the other wonderful quali- ties that Mrs. Brawley possesses. Her patience and integrity provide us with a worthy pattern with which we can mold our own lives. We would like to thank Mrs. Brawley from the bottom of our hearts for everything she has given us. We will al- ways cherish the many moments we have shared together. We would now like to say good-bye — not good-bye in a sense we will never meet again, but good-bye meaning thank you, for we always carry with us only the fondest of mem- ories of a wonderful person. Thank-you, Mrs. Brawley. THE CLASS OF 1969 To Mr. Perry In acknowledgment to Robert E. Perry, who deserves no small vote of thanks for our successful high school careers. We will remember with pleasure his flashing sense of humor and nimble conversation. To make a good friend is to live a fuller life.” Grateful thanks from the Class of 1969, Mr. Perry. 4 CONTENTS ADVERTISEMENTS Page 158 5 ■ WINDOW j i SERVICE Standing at the crossroads, signs from within and around me point to endless paths leading in a myriad of directions.

B.H.S. 1911 Music to tune of Wesleyan Victory March. CLASS The early 1950’s brought forth into the world the mem- bers of the greatest class of all time — the Class of 1969. Largely uneventful childhoods gave way to the turning point in our lives — 1965 and the beginning of our Freshman year. In our Freshman year there were many new things for us to explore and everything became a challenge. The year began with our Freshman Reception. The seemingly un- merciful torture by the Class of 1965 made us vow to give the Class of 1972 the most unbelievable reception possible. The main event of Freshman year, a dance, was a social success, and financial disaster. When our Sophomore year began we felt more sure of ourselves; after all, we had a year’s experience behind us. This year brought biology classes with disections, geometry in the sugar shacks” and a bit more rapport with upper- classmen, and for many, drivers licenses. Our main project of the year was to design a class ring. Somehow, we made it through the year without too many hardships- Our Junior year held cherished moments. We held our first car wash, cake sale, the Junior-Senior Semi-Formal, and had the courage to revive a forgotten Bethel High tradition, the Junior Show. Journey Through Time With The Class of ’69” was our crowning achievement. A 250 pound baby in diapers, a great imitation of Carol Burnett’s washwoman routine, and a broken teacher’s room window contributed to 64 HISTORY the great fiasco. It was during our Junior year that Mrs. Brawley joined us as advisor. She pulled us through many sticky situations, and without her we never would have made it. Our Junior Prom was a beautiful way to end the year. The following September we finally entered our almighty Senior year. This was what we had waited for. Our turn came to be the rough, tough, important Seniors. We started off our year with a very gooey Freshman Reception which almost ended in disaster. Next came the Semi-Formal with the theme that shocked everyone — Psychedelic Christmas. This was followed by our Senior Play. As usual we were behind schedule, but working under pressure always seemed to produce the best results. It was about this time that the college acceptances slowly drifted in and permanent jobs were being sought. The busy spring included our final burst of fund raising schemes such as a cake sale, car wash, and a car show. We finally paid our dues and began to anticipate the Prom, Class Night, and Graduation. June 19th was the big night with the Exchange Club providing our evening 'til dawn party. With graduation we find ourselves on our own and our future depends on how well we can adapt ourselves to a changing society. We may join many groups or clubs in the future but we will always feel a loyalty to the Class of 1969 and B.H.S. as we finally leave the doors of One School Street. 65 r m w During our illustrious careers as students of Bethel High, we were forced to seek additional funds to make our Senior year easier. We attempted to raise money by writing, producing and performing a show that would hopefully be entertaining. Our big entrance in- to the field of acting was received with mixed emo- tions. In spite of such hardships as having one of the stars fall through the teachers’ room window and being stuck in Katonah, New York, on the night of dress rehearsal, we managed to put on a show that no one is likely to forget. Besides turning out to be a really funny show which even had some organization, it was also a tremendous financial success. That is a camera, isn’t it??” uouldXfmf tteouyN UMOOi J -i -1—4. TH6 jyM ior SUO t «F Ooops! My suspenders broke! . . . and Alfred did. Cheerios give you go! You said come as you are; so here I am! I’ve heard of dragon mouths, but this is ridiculous! It seems like only yesterday we were preparing for our first formal dance- Hawaiian Nights was the chosen theme and palm trees, sand, seashells and pineapples set the mood of a rustic Hawaiian village com- plete with our own volcano. After all, what’s Hawaii without a volcano! The mood was bright and excit- ing and the Boss Blues fit the occasion perfectly. Freshman servers dressed as native Hawaiians, complete with grass skirts, added to the atmosphere. A large crowd turned out to enjoy the festivities in a world that seemed as real as Hawaii itself. The Junior Prom is something we will always remember — not only Hawaiian Nights but a feeling of growing up, a sense of belonging as you mingled with your classmates. This is what our prom meant to us. 73 The Class of ’69 Cleans up With a JUNIOR CAR WASH! 74 BONFIRE RALLY opens the football season before Bethel versus New Milford game Fireman, save my child! If sardines can do it, so can we! Your money or your life! FRESHMAN RECEPTION Every September the graduating class plays a popular game called get the Freshmen.” The first few weeks of school you can find Freshmen hiding almost anywhere trying to escape the wrath of the Senior Class. We un- burdened all our frustrations at the Freshman Reception. The Freshman Reception was to what every true blooded Senior looked forward. He could now legally take revenge on the Freshmen. Whipped cream, eggs and molasses turned the gym into a nightmare, not to mention what it did to the Freshmen! It seemed so funny for us to be there initiating Freshmen, when only three years earlier we had been the victims. Everyone understands, of course, that it was all in fun and we don’t know anyone who would rather have been left out of the reception for the world. A typical day at the Mosque. You call this a harum? I don't want to look anyway. A freshman sundae with wl cream, please. I waited four years for this! Ha, Ha, you missed me! Anyone for scrambled eggs? HOMECOMING You pull my tail one more time and I’ll claw you. Muneca waves Bethel to victory. Sing out for victory! This year saw the beginning of what we hope will be an annual event at B.H.S.: Homecoming. Parades, floats, football game and a dance highlighted the weekend. Seniors will always remember this affair fondly because our long hours of work were rewarded when our float won first prize. How disappointed we were when our prize winning float, left outside over night, was com- pletely drenched! Many of us will remember the frozen feet while working in Dave Drumm's garage for hours making thousands of crepe paper flowers. Thanks to the Juniors we can also remember soaped windows. The dance Saturday night saw the crowning of Maria Cyr and Calvin Coker, representatives of the Library Club, as King and Queen. For everyone it was a weekend to remember- If the classes after us will carry on the tradition and make Homecoming an annual affair at B.H.S., it will be fun for us to attend in years to come. David's dream comes true. Look what Santa found in his stocking! JUNIOR-SENIOR SEMI-FORMAL This year’s semi-formal will probably go down in history at B.H.S. We broke the old tradition and went completely modern. Psychedelic Christmas” was the theme and the decorations ranged from flashing mirrors to multi-colored lights. It was one of the brightest affairs with girls wearing shiny mini dresses and stockings that glittered in the dark. The New Joy provided rock music that was completely in tune with the setting. The evening was highlighted with a visit from St. Nicholas and the crowning of our queens, Senior Pat Clarke and Junior Carol Balias, by our new superintendent and his lovely wife, Mr. and Mrs. William MacDonald. 81 SENIOR PLAYS The Senior Class offered two one-act plays: The Public Eye and Fireman, Save My Child, performed on Friday, Feb- ruary 28, and Saturday, March 1. Each play required extensive preparation, gotten through numerous rehearsals, so that the production would open as scheduled six weeks after parts were first cast- Rehearsing times were generally complicated because of job schedules, no rides, and mixing up practice nights. Many afternoons and evenings, including much winter vacation time, went toward readying the plays. When the opening night finally arrived, the audience had only the highest praise for the Senior’s efforts. The Public Eye, by English playwright Peter Schaffer, is a witty and rather sophisticated comedy. Private Detective Julian Cristoforo (A1 Leonard) is hired by jealous husband Charles Sidney (Richard Baldelli) to keep track of the movements of his young wife Belinda (Val Blazka). Cris- toforo discovers not only that Belinda is innocent of indis- cretion, but also that her husband Charles is guilty of the very fault that he accuses her of. The very humorous Cristo- foro eventually resolves the awkward marital situation by having Charles silently follow his wife through London for a month in order to better understand her. Fireman, Save My Child is an old fashioned melodrama set in a small town in the East around 1890. The plot pri- marily revolves around the villain Archibald (Steve Finger), who almost succeeds in tricking his brother Chester (Chet Janutolo) into losing his girlfrend Daisy (Lnnne Benedict) to Archibald and being falsely accused of stealing family funds and papers from his mother (Jo-Anne Coffey). Daisy's Aunt Sally (Linda Ferguson) is initially taken in by Archi- bald but later admitted that she saw through his falsity. The local shutterbug Bing (J;m Menti), who is fond of the family maid Myrtle (Linda Wolk), helps to foil Archibald's plans, as does Mary Lawson (Pat Clarke) who reveals Archi- bald’s illegal use of mill funds. The child” in the title is Aunt Sally’s beloved dog Ella. The audience favorite of the two plays was clearly Fire- men, Save My Child. Steve Finger’s difficulty with his stretch gloves was the evening’s biggest laugh. In The Pub- lic Eye the play's funniest moment was probably the peanut shower flung into Val Blazka’s face by the absent minded A1 Leonard. None who were there will forget these mo- ments. 82 Do not shrink aside my little flower Which hand has the M M's? No, No, a thousand times, No! I said this would never work! Will he ever find me?

Besides being advised by Miss Lynch and Mrs. Brawley, Mr. Quigley and Mr. Shail also helped us with write-ups. WILDCAT ’69 A MESSAGE FROM THE EDITORS: Adhering to the philosophy that deadlines were meant to be broken, your yearbook is complete at long last. After meeting with the publisher, the photographer, and an eager staff, we were all set to go until we realized our first obstacle — we lacked an advisor. Miss Lynch agreed to take the position and we had cleared our first hurdle. Our special thanks to Mrs. Hardison for helping with much of the work and for showing us the ropes. Now, as we look back at the effort expended, time consumed, and talent tapped, we feel proud to present this finished product. For, as we filled one hundred and eighty-four blank pages, we used all our mem- ories, creativity, and abilities to please you. We are using we in the collective sense — meaning all who worked on the book. We hope you get as much satisfaction through the years from reading it as we derived from writing it.

I have seen you in the classroom, 1 have seen you at the various extra-curricular activities that have taken place at Bethel High School, and as a result of these observations I am confident that you will gain the knowledge so necessary to participate in the adult world. It is quite obvious to me that there is indeed a new spirit among the youngsters of Bethel High School, and I believe that with this spirit and with this type of positive thinking, that each of you will be successful in the days that lie ahead. Whether your talents bring you to the various college campuses throughout the country, or whether you choose to go into some form of business, industry, or any other endeavor, I believe that if you maintain these same fine qualities that you have been de- veloping throughout the years, if you maintain this spirit and enthusiasm and continue to think positively, that the future for all of us shall indeed be a great one. I wish you success in your future, and hope that you will always continue to think of yourselves as members of Bethel High School- Sincerely yours, William C. MacDonald Superintendent of Schools MR.

Mr. Anthony and Mr. Callahan are the hard-working force which turns an oftentimes un- ruly group of students into fine young musicians at the mere wave of a conductor’s baton. The band is largely made up of Junior High stu- dents with a sprinkling of upperclassmen. The band will lose four Seniors upon their graduation: clarinet- ist Lynne Benedict, Sousaphone vituoso Chris Ganley, tympanist Chet Janutolo, and percussionist Lewis Vallee. 106 BAND MEMBERS FLUTES LindaSettanni (Bells) Virginia VanWie Janet Anderson Annette Patti Susan Hurley Sharon Fiddner Michele Menegay Joan Wolfson Jennifer King Nancy Tedford OBOE Cindy Menegay CLARINETS Justin Pearlman Shelley Jacques Roddy Lewis James Garvey Dawn Whaley Steven Corley Lynne Benedict Carl Stolle Judy Settanni Laurie Benedict Margaret Lewis Betsy Hess Michael Brown Mark Myers ALTO CLARINET Karen Uzwiak BASS CLARINET Janet Goransson CONTRA BASS CLARINET Eileen Ely ALTO SAXOPHONE Karen Benedict TENOR SAXOPHONES Robert Cavallo Stephen McKenzie Robert Denzel Melanie Eastwood Ernest Flewwellin Dean Sterry BARITONE SAXOPHONE Phillip DeCunha John Ganley Florence Perry FRENCH HORNS AlanLamond TRUMPETS Robert Bullard Ronald Gentile Jack Moreno Roy Steiner Ronald Kunz TYMPANI Matthew Reynolds Marco DeLima William Brown Richard Gillotti Chester Janutolo Arthur Testanero BARITONE HORNS Richard Gallagher Donald Wood Robert Hornak Lee Pinder Terry Waterman Burton Callahan James Garde Robert Finger Bruce Griswold Karl Schoonmaker BASSES Herwig Kauer Chris Ganley Steward Schilb PERCUSSION Nancy Janutolo Joseph Benway Vincent Landi Lewis Vallee William Callahan Thomas Potvin Paul Albert TROMBONES Mark Babich Stephen O’Rourke Stephen Byxbee Edward Driscoll David Perry PIANO — DANCE BAND Jeannie Brenn •Dance Band 107 STUDENT COUNCIL LIBRARY CLUB 108 Alberta Hatt (President) Delores Plourde (Vice President) George Grumman (Secretary) Jackie Hatt (Treasurer) Gary Yovino Sue Newton Barbara Simpson Sherry LaBarre Cynthia Scalzo Susan Moore Betty Jo Decker Leslie MacCarley Carol Clark Jody Gallant Carol Van De Water Maria Cyr Calvin Coker Helen Leonard Vicky Godfrey Frank Kovacs Debbie Studwell Jay Spiller Son ja Nelson Dennis Gereg Terry Devendorf Laurel Bishop ley,; Debbie Staib, Karen Benedict, Barb Paul; Alan Johnson, Linda Wolk, Charlie Rollinson, Nancy Vecchia, Jimmy Menti, Vanessa Barzetti, Margaret Matta, Sue Bernd, Laurie Christos, Trudy Suhvanosky.

But I found that so strange people were not so; they had same feelings and emotions like my own, in my country and also I found out that teenagers are the same in everywhere. Studies, sports, entertainments and friendships are the essential occupation of every teenager in everywhere, and any place is so important in our actual life than school. Here you have your friends, your opportunity to develop your abilities, your constant preoccupation for homeworks, duties, rules and tests, and those are always the source of more than one headaches of our lives! I always think there isn’t any happier life than ours, when we are still in school. Although sometimes we hate school, there is always a great void in our activities when we are off it, because we are so used to occupied our time there, that it seems that we need it very much when we leave it. I found a lot of likeness and differences among the teenagers of my country and yours. The likeness, in a very general way, I can say is in the liking of music, dancing, sports and movies. The differences are most notable. I should say first we are a country in de- velopment, all of our wealth we have still without improving, and we need all of our youngsters to do it. We cannot live a very comfortable life, we have still a very long way to go to join the way you are now. You have here lots, millions of opportunities to be whatever you want to, study- ing or working; you have only to choose it, and show that you really can do it. It depends only in your strength of will to get it. V. £ A i V no We find a lot of obstacles to start and to pursue our wills, more of this because of the limitation of help we can have from anybody but our parents and or relatives. The student cannot work and study at the same time without loosing his efficiency at school Another difference is the time we spend at school. We have just five hours, not seven like yours. So we have never lunch at school. We have a definite schedule made by the Ministery of Education for each year, and we cannot choose our subjects, we follow the established program. We usually have about 10 subjects, but we don’t take them all everyday; we have a schedule for each day of the week, so we can study all of them. Among the majority of subjects you and we have in common, I only mention that English became an important language that most high schools of Paraguay are having in the latest years. Sports are very popular there too, like in here, and maybe the most important is the soccer, and basketball, volleyball and swimming follow in order of popu- larity. I particularly like them a lot, but my favorite is volleyball, and I have started practicing it in the volleyball team of this school, that I think will be give us a lot of fun. On the other hand, I think Connecticut is a very nice place and I like the people very much too. I had my first meeting with the snow here, because, as most of you know, in Paraguay, my country, there isn’t any in winter so I was waiting for it with excitement, and it didn’t frustrate me at all. I think this place is beautiful, and even if I cannot see everything I would like to, because of the width of your country, I still can say I know a very nice place in it, that is, Bethel, Connecticut. Thank you very much. Margarita Bordon Walk together, Talk together, O Ye People of the Earths: Then and Only Then Shall Ye Have Peace. ill A.F.S.

As the ’68-’69 season comes to a close, the Seniors as editors are ready to leave their responsibilities and achieve- ments to next year's newspaper staff. With some six issues to their credit, we feel that Reveille has achieved better standing among the student body. More than anything else this year, the staff has tried to make the paper as open as possible and to add new columns which would interest the students. The picture page, potpourri column, fashion news and poets’ column seem to have accomplished this. This year Reveille has also received literary contributions from students outside the journalism class. This has been strongly encouraged because the paper is published in the interest of the students themselves- The newspaper staff tries to bring everyone up to date on events happening around our school. This year this was accomplished by pub- lishing the paper soon after the event happened to prevent stale” news. The results have shown as a great increase in the amount of newspaper sold. As the Senior members of the staff prepare to leave their duties to the new staff, they will all carry with them the experiences and knowledge they shared as members of the ’68-'69 Reveille staff. 115 DRAMA CLUB Gregg Paai (President) Curt Overthrow (Vice President) Lynne Benedict (Secretary) BarbBernd (Treasurer) JaneCarizzo Priscilla Danuszar Vanessa Barzetti Lester Favreau Leon Strecker Jeanne Moody Kathy Lundebjerg Margaret Matta Richard Baldelli Lynn Heyde Sue Lundebjerg Steve Oliveira Joan Hancock Alan Chapman Pat Clark Terri Clarkson Marcia Sterry Audrey Evans Rick Hawley Sue Bernd Linda Hogan Dotty Totman Jim Veness Henry Bessette John Taylor Nancy Vecchia Karen Benedict Maureen Elliott Mark Perry Gerald Hornack Barb Paul Bonnie Gass Paul Gallagher Donna Swanson Carolyn Marston Karen Lundebjerg Mary Anne Hannequin Barb Johnson Maria Cyr John Matta Bev Silva Betty Jean Hannequin Sue Wakeling Karen Yovino Barb Wakeling Trudy Suhanovsky Debbie Staib Chris Farris Virginia Powell Anita Kretzmann Sharon Peterson Joy Finger Tim Cleary Roddy Lewis Lynn Channey Christie Marston Jane Lyman Paul Graef Chris Kouspos Keith Overthrow Debbie Tischbein Karen Clarke Don Erickson Allen Atkinson Alan Merrick Chris Gillotti Gail Pollard Annette Patti Alan Johnson Peter Courtway Anne Spagnolo 116 DRAMATIC CLUB In the fall the Dramatic Club opened the 1968-1969 season with a multi-media pro- duction of the play -Mrs. McThing by Mary Chase. Because the play is written from a child’s point of view, the club decided to explore the imaginative, somewhat unreal world of the human child, through the media of film, visual art, music and drama. Fortunately a professional film-maker, Ned Lewis, the parent of one of our members, volunteered his time, talent and technical expertise to make possible the club's first adventure in film- making. It was decided that two films were needed to express the fantasy-laden world of childhood: one film with live actors, and one film with the actions of the actors from the live film expressed in terms of pseudo-animation. Thus, late in October, club members swarmed through the streets of downtown Bethel, roamed the lawns of Fairfield University, and gathered on the shores of Lake Candlewood, to create our film, a world of absurd gangsters pursued by police-cruisers, complete with flashing red lights, (courtesy of the Bethel Police Department), golden ponies (courtesy of Mr. and Mrs. Loya of Bethel), majestic swan boats (a trade secret), and a castle-like abode somewhat to the south of the menacing domain of the good-and-evil witch Mrs. McThing in the Blue-Blue Mountains (courtesy of Fairfield University). Meanwhile, under the guidance of Miss Constance Borodenko, a group of student artists labored over the creation of brightly colored animated counterparts of the live actors on long rolls of acetate, in preparation for the shooting of the animated film. Still other students spent long hours with earphones, tape recorders and high-powered amplifiers as they constructed the stereophonic sound track for the films and the play itself. Yet another group of students set to work on the difficult set change problems presented by the play. At one point, for example, the script calls for a scene change from the elegant splendor of Larue Towers to the shabby absurdity of the shantyland pool hall lunchroom- Through an ingenious combinations of hinged flats and rolling platforms, devised by our stage managers Ricky Hawley, Alan Chapman, and Henry Bessette, the problem was not only solved, but the time for set change was reduced to a mere two minutes. Before opening night more than 120 students had made contributions to the production as they rushed about completing the seemingly endless tasks connected with the staging of a play. But at long last on Friday night, November 22, 1968, the efforts of all the indi- vidual groups came together as the houselights went down to reveal Howay Larue and his animated alter-ego floating across two screens placed high in the darkness to the accompani- ment of the whimsical music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Audience response was tremendous and Mrs. McThing played to packed houses on three nights. In fact, on the third night, over fifty people had to be turned away. Certainly, Afrr. McThing will drift long and joyously in the conscious memory of dramatic club members. All this was made possible through the effort and guidance of Mr. George Shail, club advisor. PAR 1.0A MELD Just a quick jog away Our happy home bursting at the seams Can you smell the incinerator? The early bird catches the space. Left field is the middle of the street. Sure looks sturdy! B. H. S. is half built up . . . Since the doors of One School Street were opened for the first time in Sep- tember, 1939, countless changes both obvious and subtle have occurred. A returning graduate of that first class would find his Alma Mater a very dif- ferent place. The most obvious change would be in the physical department. There have been vast changes in styles, too, not only in such matters as dress, manners, and leisure time activities, but also in such fundamental matters as theories of education, methods, and materials. One beautiful thing remains the same year after year and that is the spirit of the students and teachers. It is this spirit we hope will move into the new high school next year, so when we return in times to come, we can feel the same warmth generated on Judd Avenue.

In dual competition, the overall record was nine wins and three losses. The team placed third in the W.C.C. Conference. They also did very well in state meets. In the State Class C” Meet, Captain Richard Ford led his team to second place. Tenth place was earned by the team in the State Open'' Meet for all schools. In this meet Rich Connell, Lenny Uzwiak, Tom Wild and Jim Nourse all showed their form with very strong perform- ances, while Rich Ford finished second in the field of runners. The Class of 69” congratulates this year’s team and wishes Coach De- Mille and the Cross Country Team the best of luck in the upcom- ing seasons.

FOOTBALL FOOTBALL TEAM SCOREBOARD The Bethel High Football Team had a good but disappoint- ing season. During Coach Oshan’s second year the team’s record was 1-5-1. The teams showed great pride and determination which reflects Coach Oshan’s dedication to the game. Everyone was aware of this great pride and determination. It added to the enthusiastic spirit shown at the games. This year’s team was sparked by Seniors Steve Kunz (picture not available), whose great running pulled Bethel out of many tight spots, and Kevin Cleary, whose great defensive plays helped Bethel tremendously. Quarterback Bob Benzing and Freshman halfback Louie Pagan proved to be very valuable to the team. The Class of ’69 wishes Coach Oshan and his football team the best of luck in the following season- We know it will be the best ever. New Milford 18-12 Loss Barlow 26-12 Loss Concordia 12-12 Tie A.

SECOND ROW: Bruce Martin, Tom Saunders, Art Terry, Mike Walsh, Jerry Heyde, Bob Cooper, Barry Connell. The Bethel High Basketball Team and their new coach, Mr. LeVangie, had a disappoint- ing season this year. Although the team was limited to one victory, they always showed great spirit and never gave up. This consistent determination in turn served to strengthen the entire team. Individual Seniors gave strong performances in the games, as well as Freshman Art Terry who we feel will become an even greater asset in the future. The Class of '69 wishes Coach LeVangie and his team the best of luck in the coming seasons.

With the loss of its two pitchers, Coach Bill Hunt intends to rely on the pitching of Captain Bill Ben- zing and Bob Benzing to carry him through the season. The team has a very fine defense but lacks the long ball on offense. Nevertheless, the team has great pride and determination. Seniors playing their last year are Bill Benzing, Kevin Cleary, Mike Tallent, Dennis Janofsky and Bill Wiedl. The Class of 1969 wishes Coach Hunt and his team the best of luck this season and all seasons to come. ICE HOCKEY ICE HOCKEY A new club was founded three years ago by Mr. Murk- land which has become very popular. The club was formed when numerous students interested in the game came to Mr. Murkland, a semi-professional player him- self, and asked if he would form one. This, of course, is the ice hockey club which uses the facilities of Meckauer Park. The outcome has been very successful and we en- courage interested boys to participate. The members of the Class of 1969 wish to thank Mr. Murkland for his efforts and to wish the team a successful future. 136 STANDING: Mr. Murkland, Leonard Uzwiak, Donald Erickson, Bill Benzing, Daniel Murkland, David Bolser.
