It is true we all have the hardworking dedicated educators to thank for their enlightening teaching and everyone who made our years possible here. We learned a great deal in and out of class, but for me to flood the school with endless praise would be dishonest. Change is urgently needed not with the material needs of the school but the educational learning process. The school at times doesn't inform students of many realities of life. Horrors of war, poverty, ecolog- ical ruin, racism, and technological insanity. The pursuit of money and materialism are often put before the pursuit of helping and happiness. Com- petition is often placed over togetherness. The years ahead will be extremely hard for all. As we leave Black River, still isolated from urban madness, in the green hills, sloping from the ever moving highway, we have one hope. The hope that graduating classes may not have to choose between a violent or nonviolent future. James R. Lannon J7 on or 7?, esponse We, the class of 1972, would like to express our sincere congratulations to the Seniors. Having achieved their goal in B.R.H.S., we hope we will be able to follow in their footsteps in the following year. We wish them all of the luck possible in whatever course they may choose after graduation. The graduating class of 1971 has set an example for the Juniors, as well as other underclassmen. Their spirit and willingness to pull together will always be a s t a n d a r d for future seniors here at B.R.H.S. Ron Link 3 Decfic The Class of 1971 dedicates the Banner to Mr. David Baker who was a freshman at B. R, H. S. when we were, who managed to survive the initiation we gave him in Algebra and Earth Science, who opened the gym and stayed with us whenever we wanted to shoot a few baskets, who always gave anyone a ride home after school or games, who was a substitute cheerleading and girls' basketball coach when no one else would spare the time, and who we feel would gladly give his right arm if we needed it. Words on a printed page can hardly ex- press how much we appreciate such a devoted and selfless person whom we will long remember. 4 ation We, the class of 1971 proudly dedicate our BANNER in loving memory of Mr. Donald Otterson, and the precious time he shared with us. 5 Jjeter 7fastings 7) utier For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And what is it to cease breathing but to free the breath from its restless tides that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered? Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance. Kahil Gibran C 1969 Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. All rights reserved. Used by permission. a time to fose . II 12 MR.

Playing the role of the underdog all last season the Presidents were able to capture the State S-M soccer title with a line-up consisting only of three seniors. Through some fine coaching by Pete White and the sheer determination of his players, the Presidents were able to fulfill a dream which had been held by their predecessors. With seven returning lettermen that included two M.V.L. all-star selections, Pat Pullinen and Tony Valente and a handful of promising underclassmen to fill the vacant positions, the Presidents looked forward to their first encounter. Playing for the first time under the lights, the Presidents found St. Mary's of Claremont a tougher foe than they had expected. Although winning the game, 2-1 on goals by Tony Valente and Steve Martel, it took a superb effort by the Presidents goalie Rod Cole to shut off the Comet’s scoring thrusts. Prior to their first M.V.L. game the Presidents tangled once again with St. Mary's. After battling through a scoreless first half, both teams got their offense rolling. St. Mary's struck for two goals in the third period and took its 2-0 lead into the final period. But the Presidents battled back on goals by Joe Albano and Pat Pullinen. With the score tied, both teams battled for the lead, with St. Mary's gaining the final advantage via a penalty kick, sav- ing the game for the visitors. After suffering a humiliating defeat to Springfield last year. The Presidents gain a measure of revenge by downing the Cosmos 5-1 in their first M.V.L. encounter. 66 Opening the game up, after only leading 2-1 at half-time, on goals by Pat Pullinen and Tony Val- ente, the Presidents exploded for three goals in the final half. Once again Pullinen found the range early in the third period. Before Pullinen's score, John Neal had notched the third score, on his first goal of the year. Adding another insurance goal early in the fourth period, Joe Albano found the range for his second goal of the year, with Valente assisting. This game exemplified the explosiveness the Presi- dents offense was capable of having. The Presidents backed by Steve Martel's second and third goals of the season, beat Burr and Burton 4-2 in overtime . It was a strictly come-from-be- hind struggle all afternoon for the Presidents as the Bulldogs proved to be a pesty foe and twice the Presidents had to make up one goal deficit to force the game into overtime. In the overtime, Martel scored his second goal of the game on a beautiful headshot after taking the pass from Tony Valente. A few minutes later Joe Albano added an insurance goal to seal the victory for the Presidents. Ron Link had the first goal, assisted by Gary Williams. Rollings its record to 3-0 in league play, 4-1 overall, the Presidents fought off the challenges of arch-rival, Green Mt. High and defeated the Chief- tains 3-0. Lead by Pat Pullinen's two unassisted goals, the Presidents withstood a third period surge by the visitors and were able to keep them in check the rest of the way. Tony Valente scored the other President's goal, getting an assist from Joe Albano. In Ludlow's next two encounters their offensive scoring thrust was impeded but managed to sneak by Otter Valley and Brattleboro identically 1-0. Although the Prexies had thirty shots on goal they had to make their lone tallies stand up. Converting a crossover pass from Pat Pullinen, Tony Valente's goal iced the victory against the Otters. Joe Al- bano's goal on a pass from Pat Pullinen dumped the Colonels. Outstanding defensive play by A1 Ehlers, Jim Lannon, Bill Robinson and Marshall Clark aided Rod Cole's two tough goal tending shutouts. Facing a young bunch of Foxes from Wallingford, the Prexies blasted fifty-five shots on goal connect- ing on four of them to win by a 4-1 score. Steve Martel's had trick and his assist on Pat Pullinen's initial game goal led the scoring attack. 68 Gary Williams and Joe Albano assisted Steve on his first and second goal with his third being unassist- ed. Wally Surething aided Rod Cole in the nets in turning back nine shots. Supporting a 7-1 record overall, Ludlow struggled past a stubborn Fair Haven team by a 2-1 victory. Ludlow's offense put them on the board in the second period as Joe Albano slammed one in with the assist to Bill Robinson. With the game tied at one apiece, Pat Pullinen secured the victory with an assist to Steve Martel. Ludlow’s play which was far from outstanding might have put a psychological effect on their sec- ond defeat of the year against the Phantoms of Proc- tor. Proctor once again added to their dominance of the M.V.L. by downing Ludlow 2-0. Rod Cole's goal tending and defensive play by the Prexies kept it close. Coming off a hard loss and being defeated by the M.V.L. crown, Ludlow succumbed to another defeat at the hands of Mt. Anthony by a 4-2 margin Ludlow's goal came from Steve Martel with an assist going to Joe Albano and John Neal's unassisted tally. Still a little down but not out by any means, the Prexies traveled to Arlington and fought to a 1-1 double overtime tie. All the scoring occurred in the second period with Pat Pullinen accounting for Ludlow's goal with an assist from Joe Albano. Very few shots on goal and excellent goal tending added to the defensive struggle with special effort to Bill Robinson, who's work increased due to the absence of the injured Tony Valente. Ludlow finished in second place in the M.V.L. with a 6-2-1 record for league play. 69 Ludlow traveled to Woodstock to open its tourna- ment quest against a stubborn team from Thetford. Still down from being denied the M.V.L. crown, the Prexies had to fight from a 2-0 deficit to over- come their foe for a 3-2 victory in overtime. Down by two goals, John Neal put Ludlow on the board with a third period goal with an assist to Pat Pullinen, a penalty kick by Pat Pullinen in the fourth per- iod sent the game into overtime with Steve Martel booting an unassisted goal for the victory. Traveling to Chester to meet their quarter-final foe, Leland and Gray, Ludlow had to struggle for another pressure victory by a 1-0 score. Steve Martel un- assisted once again secured Ludlow's semi-final berth with a first period goal. Ludlow once again blasted many shots on goal but lady luck was with the opposing team. Rod Cole turned back 21 shots to add to his list of shutouts. Ludlow was denied a second straight soccer championship by a defeat at the hands of Proctor in the semi-final game. The final game for the Lud- low Presidents, 1970 ended in a 4-0 defeat. 70 SENIORS: Joe Albano, A1 Ehlers, Jim Lannon, Bill Robinson, Tony Valente, and Gary Williams ended their high school soccer careers with the Proctor game but not until after compiling a fine year of play. Making the first team for the MVL All-Star Soccer Team were Senior, Tony Valente and Junior Pat Pullinen. Joe Albano was named to the second All- Star Soccer Team for the Marble Valley League. In August, 1970, when practice began, the First Ladies of the Varsity Field Hockey Team, looked ahead to their upcoming season with optimism. They were determined to hold onto the Dot Jones' League Championship, which Black River had held for two .years. The first game was at Middlebury. Middlebury had a reputation as being a tough team, but our girls were convinced they could win. Nevertheless, the score was Middlebury 5, Ludlow 1, with Cathy Ehlers scoring our only goal. The first winning game was with Springfield. The score was 2-0, Sandy Stevens scoring. The next game was with Springfield again - another vic- tory for Ludlow 1-0, Captain Lynn Goodrich scoring. When the First Ladies met Chester it was with mixed feelings because they would be playing against one of their former teammates, Fern Harris, a left halfback. Fern played a terrific game for Chester, beating us in the first game 5-0, and the second 4-1. Andrea Lehtonen scored for Ludlow. This year, a new team was added to the league, Fall Mountain. At home, they beat us 1-0, but later when Black River visited them, the game ended in a tie 1-1, Andrea Lehtonen scoring. Mt. Anthony was also a new school on the game schedule. In the first game with them, they out- scored our girls, 5-0. In the second game, the score was 2-0, with Ludlow losing again. 72 The final game of the season was at home with Rutland. The First Ladies were determined to win their last time. For seniors, Lynn Goodrich, Sandy Stevens, Andrea Lehtonen, and Cindy Jones, this would be their final field hockey game in high school. After a furious game, Ludlow emerged victorious, 4-1. Sandy Stevens and Lynn Goodrich each scored two goals. And so, at the end of the season, Ludlow bowed to Mt. Anthony for the championship. We settled for third place with a 3-8-1 record. All the members of the team agreed that even though they lost the championship, the season was a lot of fun. FIRST ROW: C. Jones, L. Goodrich, S. Stevens, A. Lehtonen, R. Roby SECOND ROW: M. Pratt, C. Ehlers, R. Bates, T. Valente, L. Rebideau. THIRD ROW: A. Pratt FIRST ROW: J. Kobak, N. Snow, Y. Roby, Z. Pierce, D. Emerson, SECOND ROW: D. Kirkbride, S. Wilkins, S. Briggs, B. Ahonen, S. Pluta, E. Debish THIRD ROW: K. Davis 75 The outlook for the '70-71 basketball sea- son was one full of ifs and hopefulness. Coming off a dismal season last year, Pete White, who succeeded Stew Schmidt as coach, looked for improvement of last year’s record. With only two starters back from last years' squad, Joe Albano and Steve Martel, Coach White had to dig deep into 69-70's J.V. squad to fill the vacant positions. Unfortunately, Coach White had a slim selection due to the fact that only twelve upper classmen turned out for tryouts. This took its toll on the team, as near the end of the season, the Presidents were only suiting up nine players instead of the original twelve, who for various reasons no longer were a part of the team. In the Prexies three initial games, (Wood- stock, West Rutland, Otter Valley) inexper- ience hindered their quest for victory. Each opposing team was able to run up large leads by the end of the first quarter. These leads were big enough margins to keep the Presidents from being the victor. Despite the three losses, B.R.H.S. managed to get a good scoring effort from Steve Martel (17, 16, 6), Joe Albano (16, 7, 7,), and Greg Kathan (7, 8, 10). Facing Wallingford in their next encounter, the Presidents overcame their first period jit- ters and were able to capture their first win of the season. Coupled by a balanced scoring at- tack and complete domination of the boards, the Presidents downed the Foxes 63 - 53. Lead- ing the scoring was capt. Joe Albano's 18 points, backed by Greg Kathan and Pat Pulli- nen, who each canned 15. Steve Martel and Marshall Clark pulled down 16 and 10 rebounds respectively. Next, the Fair Haven Slaters came to Ludlow to deal the Presidents their fourth loss in five ball games. Using their dominance of the boards to engineer their fastbreak, the visitors rolled to a 69-46 victory. Joe Albano and Pat Pullinen led the Presidents with 10 and 9 points respectively. Traveling to Chester to face a tough quintet, the Presidents found the officiating much to their disliking. The Prexies, down by 10 points at the half, battled their way into an one point lead at the end of the third quarter. IK Both teams exchanged the lead numerous times during the final quarter, but it was a costly call by an official that decided the final margin of victory for Green Mt., 61-60. Marshall Clark's 16 points and 15 rebounds, and Steve Martel's 15 points and 10 rebounds, paced the Presidents. In the Presidents' next four ball games with Burr + Burton, Arlington, Poultney, and Proctor, they were able to play on fairly even terms with them during the first half. When the Presidents came out in the second half, especially in the third quarter, they seemed to lose their poise, consequently caus- ing turnovers. The opposing teams jumped to the opportunity the Presidents gave them and broke open the games. Joe Albano's 24 pts. and Greg Kathan's 12 pts. lead the Prexies against the Bulldogs. Mike Moore's 13 pts. and Pat Pullinen's 11 pts. were high for B.R.H.S. against Arlington. Against the Blue Devils, Joe Albano and Steve Martel led the attack with 14 and 11 points respectively. Only Marshall Clark could find the range against the Phantoms, throwing in 13 points. Entering into the second half of the season with a record of 1-9, the Presidents ran into more miseries when West Rutland handed them their tenth defeat by a score of 71-55. Although four Presidents reached double digits it wasn’t enough for a victory. Those reaching double digits were Marshall Clark, who had 13 pts., and Bill Robinson, Steve Martel, and Joe Albano who all had 10 points apiece. Trying to avenge an early loss to Green Mt., the Prexies broke out into an early lead and hung on to lead at the half, 29-27. Once again disaster struck, turning the ball over too much, the visitors were able to take the lead. In vain, the Presidents tried to battle their way back into the ball game. The final score was 60-47, Green Mt. on top. Joe Albano and Marshall Clark once again led the locals with 17 and 10 points respectively. Breaking an eight games losing streak, the Prexies raced to a 34-17 half time lead via Pat Pullinen's 12 pts. (Unfortunately Pat was forced to sit out the rest of the game due to an injury he sustained in the second quarter.) Un- like before, the Presidents were able to keep their momentum going, and rolled to a 60-45 win over a winless Wallingford five. Three other Prexies joined Pullinen in pacing the locals to victory, Joe Albano with 15 pts., Steve Martell and Bill Robinson each had 11 points. For the first time this season, the Presidents were able to put together back to back vic- tories. Although down by four points at the end of the first three quarters, the Prexies were able to outscore Otter Valley, 18 to 10, in the final quarter to secure a 54-50 victory. Joe Albano tossed in eight of his game high of 21 pts., and Marshall Clark scored five of his 11 pts. in the last quarter, showing the way for the locals. 79 Unfortunately, the Prexies winning streak ended at two as they ran into the red hot Slaters. Using a devastating press, the Slaters were never threatened, as they coasted to a 80-54 romp. It wasn't a total loss as Steve Martel canned 17 points and Marshall Clark tossed in 16 points for the Presidents. Almost pulling off the biggest upset of the year, the Presidents dropped a 48 to 42 deci- sion to league leading Proctor. Controlling the tempo of the game, the Prexies were able to out-score the visitors from the floor, 19- 16, but the Phantoms salvaged the game by converting 16 to 28 free throws to the locals' 4 of 16. The Presidents' scoring attack was headed by Marshall Clark (13) and Joe Al- bano (10); The teamwork employed by the Presidents was the key factor in the fine effort by the Prexies. A last quarter surge by Woodstock, gave them a 57-45 win over Ludlow. The defeat left the Presidents with a 3-14 record. Scor- ing 14 and 10 points respectively, Marshall Clark and Mike Moore led the Presidents. Battling their way back after being down 17- 7, the Presidents scared Poultney by closing the gap to 21-19 at the half. Pulling ahead once again the Blue Devils saw their lead whittled down until, on a basket by Steve Martel, the Prexies took the lead by one point. As fate would have it, Poultney found time to retake the lead and hung on to win by a margin of four points, 57-53. Leading the way for the Presidents was Joe Albano and Steve Martel, scoring 21 and 11 points respectively. 80 FIRST ROW - W. Surething, P. Pullinen, J. Albano, L. Moore. SECOND ROW - S. Martel, M. Moore, Mi. Clark, Coach White, Ma. Clark, T. Valente, G. Kathan. ABSENT - B. Robinson. The final two games of the season saw the Presi- dents run into two tourney-bound teams in the likes of Arlington and Burr + Burton. Coupled by some cold shooting and lack of rebounds, the Prexies were never able to pose a serious threat to either team. Only one President in each game could manage to score in double digits, Steve Martel getting 12 pts. against Arlington and Joe Albano's 13 pts. against Burr + Burton. With only one starter leaving, Joe Albano, and two reserves, Bill Robinson and Tony Valente, the future seems to be bright. Gaining valuable ex- perience this year, next years' team should be able to better this years record of 3-17 . 81 14-T. Gurdak, 35-P. Start, 12-R. Danyew, 10-C. McLean, 22-S. Ray, 24-R. Smith, 5-G. Mar- tel, 13-R. Gaignard, 43-K. Bissonnette, 4-M. Pallotta Probably one of the toughest coaching jobs any- one could come across is coaching Junior Varsity Basketball at Black River. David Baker tacked this job for the past four years, and has done a good job in molding future Varsity players. Without any real game experience prior to their freshman year, due to the lack of programs in the lower grade level, Mr. Baker's job is harder than one would expect. Although not supporting a good record, the play- ers have gained valuable playing experience for their future years. Leading the team this year was sophomore Wally Surething, who totaled 185 points in 20 games for 9.3 average. 82 Even at the outset of the season, the First Ladies realized that they had one strike against them already. When the first practice session was called, only 15 girls turned out for the team. Before the first game the number had decreased to 12. Con- sequently some of the players were forced to play both Junior Varsity and Varsity games. Despite this inefficiency the First Ladies never gave up hope in seeking their first victory. Victory almost came in Springfield, as the First Ladies bowed to Springfield 33-32. Leading scorers for Ludlow were sophomore. Sue Wilkins and senior, Sara Buswell with ten and nine points respectively. The future has one bright spot, only three mem- bers of the team will be leaving, Anne Brzoza, Sara Buswell, and Cindy Jones. The majority of the team consisted of sophomores. By the time they become seniors, girls' basketball should be at its peak once again. B. Ahonen R. Bates A. Brzoza S. Buswell D. Ellison M. Graves S. Graves C. Jones M. Martell L. Rebideau R. Roby L.

There was stiff competition for the Winter Carnival plaque between the Juniors and the Seniors, but the Sen- iors managed to be the victors. The sophomores reigned over the carnival. Bobby Smith and Debby Bamforth were chosen King and Queen at the Annual Carnival Dance. The winning snow sculpture Neil Arm- strong, was shaped by the Seniors, to fit the theme of V.I.P.'s.
