Dedication To Our Friend - Mary Louise Wallace The Class of 1974 dedicates our yearbook to you, Miss Wallace, because you played such an important and meaningful role in OUR WORLD. At this time we would like to formally express our thanks to you for the total devotion you have given to us in Junior and Senior High School. Miss Wallace, you have been a very wonderful person to all of us and we are sure it would be difficult to find another class advisor to compare with you. When our spirits were low and the going was rough, you were there with sound advice, a helping hand, and a generous heart. Miss Wallace, you gave up so much of your personal time and energy for us. We will never forget you and sincerely hope that we have made you proud of us. 4 always there when we need her OUR BUDDY!

Mr. Pellegrino deserves so much thanks from the yearbook staff. Without him seeing us through and giving us his every available minute, this book would not have been possible. We know that we are the main reason for the recurrence of his ulcer, so we hope he is proud of us, and proud of this yearbook as well. So thank you, Mr. Pell . The Yearbook Staff The Class of 1974 Mike Pellegrino To the Members of the Class of 1974 It has been a short'' four years! Somehow I am left with the feeling that I am just getting to know you, and that more time is needed to do the many things we wanted to do for you and with you. However, I am confident that you will move on to take your places as contributing citizens of your community, state and country. You have grown up in a turbulent period of our country's history, Your experiences have included the unjust war , Watergate, the resignation of the vice-president, an energy crisis, mid-East conflict, meat shortages and other crises. Despite it all you must always bear in mind that your standards of living are better than those of any other people of the world. You have a government which is viable and vulnerable and yet the envy of the majority of the world. Despite our problems let me remind you that we have had other crisis in our short history and through the resolution of these crisis we have become a great nation. So think positively, and remember always to do your small part toward making this country of ours an even greater place to live. My best wishes go with each and everyone one of you! Be always faithful to Bethel High Schooll Emanuel A. Merullo Emmanuel A. Merullo BETHEL HIGH SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION 6 Frank C. Forster BETHEL ADMINISTRATION In the 1971 edition of WILDCAT, there appears an ad placed by the Class of 1974 (then freshmen) which was signed, The Class renown for Energy, Intelligence, Spirit, and Perseverance. It seems to me that in looking back, the only characteristic omitted was Vision, because members of the Class of 1974 not only forecasted the future in that prophetic inscription, they fulfilled it as well. Congratulations and best wishes to each of you for continued large doses of the same ingredients. Gerard E. Murphy Superintendent of Schools Gerard E.

This year, as always, the Girls' Field Hockey Team showed a pride, spirit, and sportsmanlike attitude of which Bethel High School can be very proud. The girls' hard work, determination, and optimism reflected the excellent coaching of Miss R . Being a member of this team has much greater meaning than any win-loss record. Miss Robertson has encouraged good sportsmanship and taught the techniques of the game equally well. D. Dalbis, C. Page, L. Garvey, C. Strohm, J. Jessen, B. Potvin, K. Sandford, C.

He passed the attitude onto his players. They displayed this attitude by winning three out of the first four games. Although they failed to win another game after the first four, they were never out of a game, and fought to a hard tie with Masuk. The Wildcats were led by All-Conference senior running back Greg Green, who was also a co-captain with All-Conference linebacker Bob Pierrie. Another All-Conference pick was junior linebacker Pete Smith. The line was led by Seniors Jon Francis, Kevin Garvey, Rich Lengel, and Mitch Mohr. Out at split end was senior Rich Benzing. In a fairly inexperienced defensive backfield there was only one senior, that being Ted Bills. Seniors Dana DeLouis and Brian Griswold also saw much duty for the Wildcats. During the season there were so many outstanding efforts it would be impossible to mention all. VARSITY G. Greene B. Pierrie R. Benzing 22 M. Mohr K. Garvey Coach DeSantis B. Griswold D.

Bethel High can be proud of her cheerleaders who have Jed the crowds with their effervescence and enthusiasm. We now say thank you to that small group who gave so much of their time and spirit in order to express the pride that all of the fans held. JUNIOR VARSITY 1st ROW: (left to right) G. Epple, D.

The Wildcat Warriors collected eight wins and three losses, first place in the WCC League Meet, second place in the Western Sectionals, and ninth place in the State Meet. The season was highlighted by Coach DeMille's 100th win, Kurt Stolle's first in the WCC meet and first in the sectionals, and the Wildcats victory in the WCC meet, avenging earlier losses to New Milford and Newtown. Seniors Kurt Stolle, Jim Cooper, Bob Menegay, and John Holt will all be missed, but with seven returning lettermen led by Bob Nelson and Bob Moore, Bethel is assured of another winning season.

Dear Friends, I just couldn't believe it. ME, coming to the U.S., after eight months of expectations, without knowing if I was going to come or not. I think that my whole neighborhood in Rosario, Argentina heard my shout of happiness that day in June when I was notified of my scholarship. No one knows (unless he is an A.F.S.'er) the feeling of leaving home for one year, without knowing where you are going, being super anxious to start your experience, and super sad to leave your friends and family. It's weird. I tried not to have any preconceived idea about the U.S., but ... at the same time, I wanted to KNOW. My curiosity got the better of me and I kept asking and asking the returnees. Shortly after I arrived I learned that my experience was mine and mine alone. It seems that each foreign exchange student has a completely different experience. I also learned that stereotyping people is wrong. That not all the Yankees are money-hungry, machine-minded businessmen, and that not all the high school kids are basketball players. I learned that people are basically the same everywhere. I found that, as in my country, they have different interests and feelings. I have met beautiful people, people with a deep sense of being, people who like to learn because of the satisfaction of knowing. If I had to describe what my year has been, I should say unforgettable! How could I EVER forget my buddies (who are now a part of me)? How could I forget the crazy, noisy, smelly Art Room? How could I forget the kids saying: Wow!, you are living with the principals' family? That's tough! I don't know . . . there are so many moments, people, happenings, here in my heart ... in my memories ... I'll never forget you. Bethel High School!

An individualist must have courage and reject the norms of society objectionable to him, without regard to the exterior social reaction. The individualists, the nonconformists, make the styles, set the pace, and change the world. The Class of 1974 is composed of individuals. We make our own styles, set our own pace, and we are not afraid to deviate from the norms. In these pages, we have represented individuality with individuality. We have made our own style and rejected conformity to represent the Class of 1974 as accurately as possible. Co-Editor, W. Alex Wolk .. . for the cause that lacks assistance for the wrong that needs resistance for the future in the distance and the good that we can do. Banks This yearbook is special. It stands as an anthology of living in a school community; it marks events crucial to the universe. Thus it has a purpose. Very soon, OUR WORLD will become THE WORLD. It is blatantly obvious that the earth is brimming with causes lacking assistance, and we as a new generation with much to offer, must realize our responsibility. Our obligation is in our existence. We must keep peace, save lives, and maintain individuality in the midst of vacuuming automation. We must not become strangled by the rush of life; everyone should recognize the ability of an individual to think and create, and the capability of society to help, heal and be happy. Every action we perform must be done thoroughly, whole-heartedly and proudly, so that retrospect and living will both be beneficial experiences. Apathy and carelessness are abounding in our community. We find more interest in money than in education. Some of my classmates show concern; too many alienate vital issues. We have past mistakes to learn by. If we cannot believe in the urgency of commitment now, if we can stand deaf to cries for help, if we babble endlessly about solutions never tangeable, are we really living? Will we ever learn? It is our responsibility to learn, to support our own individuality, and to understand the essentiality of conforming, at all costs, for peace. Very soon, OUR WORLD will become THE WORLD. Do something special for it, please?

JUNIOR-SENIOR SEMI FORMAL In December of our junior year we were faced with putting together the traditional Jr.-Sr. Semi-Formal. Committees were formed and the action began. Our decorations consisted of silver angels, tinsel garlands, and a silver-blue bush. Yes, we were really in the Christmas spirit when a snow storm hit and almost halted our decorating plans! When the night arrived a good many of us were truly ready to drop from sheer exhaustion. The dinner-dance was a great deal of fun and newly found sophistication though. It was highlighted by the crowning of our Princess, Shelly Menegay, and Prince, Mitch Mohr. The following year, as seniors, the juniors did the work and we enjoyed ourselves. Bobby Pierrie and Mary Ellen Shepard were crowned King and Queen. Their attendants were Jerry Kieffer and Nancy Hall. Once again, the guests had a wonderful time dancing and socializing with the many 1973 Prince Jerry Keiffer. and Princess Nancy Hall people who attended. The Clauses CHRISTMAS GUESTS ROW 1: C.

Highlights of the first half of the season were wins over the Danbury High and Abbott Tech teams, both representing much larger schools than BHS. At the midway point in the season. Bethel was tied for third place in League competition and headed for the state torunament for the fourth consecutive year. The Wildcats were led this year by tri-captains Greg Greene, George Terry, and Bobby Budd with senior Mike Martin and Junior Dave Clarke rounding out the Wildcat starting lineup. Junior Bob Nelson proved to be a valuable spark for the Wildcats, coming off the bench several times to get things going . Senior Martin Leima, Juniors Steve Gould, Gary Adkin, Rick Scalzo, Peter Smith, Joe Tarrant and Gerry Keiffer all proved to be important factors in the Wildcat Triumphs. Left to right: G. Terry, M.

Among them are the members of the girls' basketball team. This season the team had many young players who have done an excellent job. The team had a winning season and was on their way to the State Tournament. 48 Managers: P. Stumpf, K. Courtway. JUNIOR VARSITY: ROW ONE: M. Saturno. D. Heller. P. Pierrie. M. Ryan, C. Menegay.

This year's Indoor Track season was highlighted by fleetfooted Kurt Stolle's school record in the 1000 yard run. Kurt shattered the old record by running a 2:16.8. Jim Cooper, the only other senior competing during the 1974 season, also put in a very good effort for the team. The 1974 indoor team held up very well against older and more experienced competition. The Class of 1974 wishes Mr. Uzwiak and his team the best of luck in their future meets. 50 Kurt Stolle Jim Cooper v rvv 54 OUR JUNIOR SHOW March 16 and 17 of 1973 found our class presenting the traditional Junior Show . Our production was very appropriately called Chaotic Capers , because, up until the first curtain rose, mass confusion reigned! The show was a collection of classmates with talents: many newly acquired, and some well established. Actresses, actors, singers and dancers pulled together to present a show packed with fun-filled variety. Memorable moments included the Sonny and Cher vamping routine, Ernestine the telephone operator and her bout with school problems, the spectacular girls' chorus line, and the exciting gang war from West Side Story. Intermission was highlighted by the homemade film of a hotdog roll eating its hotdog! Much of the show's success was based upon the direction of Cecelia Keenan, and the time and help so generously given by other members of the class. AN OLD FASHIONED LOVE SONG OUR JUNIOR PROM King Jon Menti and Queen Elaine Mesner An unbelievable transformation took place as the Berry School cafeteria became a beautiful Georgian garden for An Old Fashioned Love Song . It was a wonderful evening for the many who attended. Guests came dressed in the height of formal fashion, and enjoyed dancing and listening to the music of T Kay . Two memorable events highlighted our evening: we crowned King Jon Menti and Queen Elaine Mesner, and we presented a birthday cake to our one and only. Miss Wallace. For a great many of us, An Old Fashioned Love Song was our first formal dance. It will surely be a cherished memory, a melody that will run through our minds for many years to come. SENIOR PLAY Bernard — Rick Clark (night 1) Rick Benzing (night 2) Robert — Alex Wolk Bertha - Cecelia Keenan Jacqueline — Shelly Menegay Janet — Donna Mattone Judith - Mary Ellen Shepard (night 1) Barbara Potvin (night 2) On March 7 and 9 of 1974, the lights went up on the senior class production of Boeing-Boeing . The play was a hilarious comedy concerning the antics of a bachelor and his country bumkin friend, as they attempt to keep three girl friends simultaneously. The charming young ladies are stewardesses, and the plans of the bachelors are often disrupted as the airlines adopt a faster Boeing engine. The confusion is humorously highlighted by the sarcasm and wit of resident housekeeper Bertha. Under the watchful eye of Mrs. Loughran, both performances proved very entertaining.

I cannot accept your canon that we are to judge Pope and King, unlike other men, with a favoured presumption that they did no wrong. “If there is any presumption, it is the other way, against holders of power, increasing as the power in- creases.

The inflexible integrity of the moral code is to me the secret of the authority, the dignity, the utility of history. If we may debase it for the sake of a man’s influence, of his re- ligion, of his party, of the good cause which prospers his credit and suffers by his disgrace, then History ceases to be a science, an arbiter of contro- versy, a guide to the wanderer. . . .

Each team member works strenuously to develop a high level of physical and mental dexterity. Our team is composed of dedicated athletes, eager to represent BHS as best they can. Special recognition belongs to veteran senior players Rick Benzing, Mike Martin, Mitch Mohr, Louis Pacific, Bob Menegay, Bruce Griswold, John Holt, and Coach William Hunt, who have all devoted much time and effort to this sport. The Staff and the Class of 1974 wish the baseball team much luck in this and future seasons. La Tour Eiffel Les Belles Jeunes Filles The members of the International Set were fortunate enough to go to Paris, France in April of 1973 with chaperon Monsieur Hartsburg.

The volleyball team has prospects for an excellent season. Under the coaching of a very dedicated and understanding Mrs. Dec, the girls practice dilligently in order to assure the best on-court performance possible. Volleyball appears to be a simple game to spectators, but in actuality it is a game of strategic skill and determination. As always, the team has many members, so individual credit is difficult to dispense.

And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair. And having perhaps the better claim. Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same. And both that morning lay In leaves no step had trodden black Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on the way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. — Robert Frost CLASS HISTORY When we entered Bethel High School as enthusiastic freshmen, we were thrown into a turmoil of activities. Our first task was that of electing our class leaders. With that completed, we were faced with Homecoming. In less than three weeks and with only $4.54 in our treasury, we managed to construct our first float. Although we did not win we learned quite a bit and enjoyed ourselves. How can we forget all those tissue paper flowers? There must have been at least five million of them. Then the seniors decided to make us an official part of the high school. Our initiation was fun for both seniors and freshmen: the shaving cream, ice, bathroom tissue and Original costumes being the main weapons used for embarrassment of freshmen. Throughout the remainder of that first year, we also had our share of dances, cake sales, and car washes, some of which were big successes and others which were not. We ended the year with the election of our officers for the following year and over $500 in our treasury. Sophomore year started quite a bit calmer than the previous year. Homecoming was very rewarding. Our float won a much deserved second place. Who could ever forget that gigantic eagle? We also won the majority of the other homecoming honors. Finally, came the much anticipated ordering of our class rings. Our Ring Dinner was the best ever. We all participated in the ow-ing and ahhing over our newly acquired rings. Once again, we added to our prospering treasury with more cake sales and car washes. The following fall, as juniors, we built our best Homecoming float, but it did not win. We were disappointed, and upset, but not discouraged. Life goes on, so we continued with our Junior-Senior Semi-Formal. With a good turnout, we all enjoyed the dancing. At the close of the evening, we crowned Mitch Mohr and Michele Menegay our Prince and Princess. Next came our Junior Show. We had a wild and hectic time, but it was one of our greatest successes. Our Chorus Line , West Side Story , Sonny and Cher , and Beautiful Dolls are only some of the unforgettable parts which made the show. We will never forget Miss Wallace's near heart attack over Coby's endless rehearsals sliding down the auditorium banister; Richie Lengel performing a marriage ceremony, and Cecelia at the school switchboard, with swimming pools in the locker rooms, Dr. Murphy held hostage in the cafeteria, and metal tipped army boots served for lunch. In the late spring, we took our first class trip, to Hyde Park, with the help of Miss Wallace and Mr. Knowlton. The main and final event of the year was the Junior Prom, An Old-Fashioned Love Song. We crowned Jon Menti and Elaine Mesner the royal couple. The prom was a social, as well as, surprisingly, a financial success. We could not believe that we actually made it through three years of high school in what seemed like three months. We were now seniors! We were finally on top after a long struggle. Our senior year passed faster than any other year. We made our way through our final Homecoming, senior portraits, and the Semi-Formal, at which we were the guests. The Senior Play, another more complex class trip, this time a three day stay in Washington D.C., our Senior Prom at Chatham Oaks, instead of Berry School, and Class Night were all memorable occasions which led up to our long anticipated graduation from Our World into The World. ddVIS lVOailAA 3H1 Jor menih' SUPERLATIVES MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED -
