Chicopee High School - Memini Yearbook (Chicopee, MA)

Text from Pages 1 - 152 of the 1964 volume:

i ' i ' MEMINI VOLUME Chicopee Comprehensive Editor-In-Chief William Pudlo High School Assistant Editor Chicopee, Mass Lucia Whitaker To the Class of 1 964: You have the distinction of being the first class to graduate from the Chicopee Comprehensive High School. With this distinction, you have a challenge and a responsibility: A challenge to practice in all of your future activities the sound work habits, logical thinking, craftsmanship, and the spiritual, moral sense you have developed; a responsibility to set a pattern of be- havior as an example for future graduates to insure that they, too, « will become sincere, worthy, and loyal citizens in this great country. Traditions are those elements of the past which society has seen fit to maintain and to carry forward. You, the graduates of the Class of 1964, have participated in establishing some of the traditions which will grow with Chicopee Comprehensive High School. We are certain that you can take pride in the customs and practices which you as individuals had a part in establishing. We hope that those who come after you will maintain and improve upon them. Our prayers go with you for happy and useful years to come. 2 To the Class of 1964: It is with great pleasure and pride that I offer to each and every member of this, the first class to graduate from Comprehensive High School, my sincere congratulations on a job well done. Being the first class to graduate from this school, you have set many tra- ditions that will be with us for a long time. I am certain that you will follow through in the same manner in all that you do in the future. I wish each and every one of you the best of health and happiness and an abundance of success in everything you do. Stanley J. Ziemba To the Class of 1964: As the first class to graduate from Chicopee Comprehensive High School, you are and always will be different from any other class. My message to you, as you leave us, is to dare to be dif- ferent for the remainder of your lives. The illnesses, problems and frustrations of any society can usually be attributed to a group of people who had completely conformed to all pressures. All sorts of pressures will be brought to bear upon you: social, economic and political. Rewards will be dangled be- fore you, usually of a material nature. Appeals will be made to your pride and vanity. Various formulae for happiness will be thrust upon you. True happiness has many pre-requisites: a willingness to work hard: to speak and live the truth; to respect the rights of others and the courage to stand up and be counted on any issue. As you go through life constructing a philosophy by which you will live, dare be different. William Coscore 3 Because of his broad conception of education and its importance in the development of every individual, his practical approach to the problems which confront our newly established high school, his ap- preciation of the values which come to our nation through the de- velopment of sound qualities of leadership in its young manhood and womanhood, and because of his untiring generosity in giving aid to any student who desires to make his contribution to succeeding gen- erations, The Memini of 1964 is officially and affectionately dedi- cated to our principal, Mr. Stanley J. Ziemba. IN MEMORIAM in Arlington a songbird trills. Its small voice pure and crystal clear, It sings his hymn of love and faith, Of bright tomorrows, free from fear; It sings of his love for God and man. And falters, as with trembled grief, Its crescendo sings the dirge Of a sad farewell for a martyred Chief. Brian F. King 5 CONTENTS DEDICATION FACULTY SENIORS PRO PHECY, WILL, BALLOT, HISTORY ACTIVITIES SPORTS For you, the members of the first class to graduate from Compre- hensive High School, I wish many things. May the two years that you have spent here together give you many pleasant memories. May you always be aware that education is a continuous process whether you go on to college or not. May your personal goals be high, and may you attain them. It has been extremely gratifying and a source of personal pride to have played a part in the activities of the class of 1964. As assistant advisor to Mrs. Shumway, I have gained a great deal more than I have given in being able to observe at close hand the optimism and industrialism which so clearly marks this class. I believe this class is worthy to be the first to graduate from a school which in the years to come will be responsible for not only educat- ing our youth, but instilling a love of freedom and industrial in- tegrity to all.

Before our guests arrive, we would like to thank personally, Mr. Leon Simard, proprietor of the Schine Inn, who has taken over his father ' s former business, the Bongo Lounge. The Chairman of this affair, Bill Pudlo, has set up the following committees who have worked so hard to bring about this reunion. Invitations were rocketed to Mars, the Moon and other neighboring planets by our space mailman, Sherman Jones. The invitations were written by local alumni, Dorothy Laplante, Sally Bock, Marie Fortier, Joyce Gorman, Cynthia Shaffer, and Rosaline Stafford. As you enter the Inn, notice the blue and gold decorations representing our high school days. They were arranged by our Decoration Committee, Joan Cronin, John Hewes, David Gill, Betsy Hubbard, Valerie Garthwaite, and Donna Boissonneault. Gaylon Ramsey, now commander of the Aero Space Station, is awaiting the arrival of his old high school flame, Lucia Whitaker. While waiting, he meets some of his former classmates. Judy O ' Connor, who is taking time out from her role as Cleopatra, came to be with us. Also from Hollywood came John Cleary, Gregory Campbell, Richard Fortin, and Ronald Brault, who have taken over the Warner Brothers Studio. Oh! What is it? A bird? A plane? No, it ' s Comp alumni from Mars. Descending from the space ship we see the pilot, Linda Jordon,- the co-pilot, Linda Newcomb; and the navi- gator, Armand Dederjean, who went off course and landed on Jupiter. There he picked up a few martians: Francis Marcotte, Barbara Martin, Charles Wall, Mary Van Der Heyden and Jeanne Salon . . . Also departing from the space ship are the two stewardesses, Lise and Monique Champoux, and the passengers, Peter Czupryna, Judy Minor, Michael Wooddell, Catherine Webb, John Duncan, Roger Desmarais, and Eileen Guillemette. Overhead we see Richard Hanson, Michaelene Padykula, Rocky Swearingen, and Ann Urabazo approaching on the monorail, driven by Carolyn Wierciszewski. Peddling down the turn pike at 40 miles per hour, a bicycle built for 10 stops to pay the toll to David McDonald. On the bike are Joseph Varga, Viola Willett, Pamela Picard, Beverly Rollins, David Wischof, John Moynihan, Marie Martel, William Crandall, John Becker, and Janice Fleming. Inside the Schine Inn, serving pickled bees ' knees, frog salad, and turtle egg soup, are Carol Bardon, Rose Marie Blain, Judy Gradeck, and Sandy Jones. The main course, which consisted of hippo-steak, martian potatoes, and goose-berry sauce, is served by head waiter, Ben Endicott, and waitresses Patricia Gregory, Joan Lee, Constance Menard, and Kathy Niemiec. Dinner is being served all through the evening to accommodate the late arrivals. Richard Hall, now Prime Minister of England, enters with his body guards, Gerald Carney, Mark 80 Chapdelaine, Mark Lieberman, and Brian Kephart. Following his arrival, comes David Scott from India with his lovely harem of wives, Linda Siclari, Bonnie Reed, Susan Powers, Sandra Epperson, Kathleen Lackey, and Donna Leverault. A telegram has just arrived from Irene Prince, telling of her regret at not being able to attend because she has locked her keys in her private airplane. Other messages were re- ceived from Suzanne Niemiec, who lost her way on her route through Africa; Carolyn LaBonte, unable to attend because her daughter broke her leg during cheer- leading practice, and Kathy Bootn and Mary Lou Griffin, who have an engagement with Capitol Records and cannot be with us tonight. Dr. Laurel Demers has just finished her experiment with atoms. Her assistant, Cheryl Buchanan, and she have just arrived. Following them are George Tyler, Michael Wal- ters, Donna Topping, Linda Friend and Lance Walsh, who are all active members of the local P.T.A. James Lee, Paul Tatro, Thomas Beaudoin, Richard Robitille, David Zajchowski, Harold Browning, and Edward Rozewski have just returned from an African safari and are showing slides of their adventures. And whom do we see riding an elephant through the jungle? None other than Cindy Polverini! Flying on a vine, Lenny St. George, passes the screen and gives us a big hearty wave. After the slides were shown, we were enter- tained by Julie Ceria, Diane Sagan, Candy Champagne, Michele Mercier, and Pat Bennett, who put on a girl scout skit. A portable tank is being brought in by two husky men, John Bartoszek and Larry Dandu- rand. A few of the ex-Dolphinetts — Heather Stewart, Mary Maj, and Betsy Thomas — will swim to Blue Velvet. The Blast-Off, a new dance sensation, is demonstrated by Carol Barthelette and Peggy Grabon. Other dances were performed by Annette Belanger, Richard Papuga, Joan Pluta, and Ronald Brunelle. While the entertainment is g oing on, a few more distinguished guests arrive. Among them are Dennis Bak, Sherry Nibblett, Monica Lucasik, and Mary Guzik. The final act of the evening will be a hula dance presented by Dorothy Bousquet, Jeanne Roy, Mary Ann Jones, Gloria Bozek, Karen McKissick, and Rhodella Scoles. We see Sherman Banks, wearing his cowboy outfit, talking to Karen Miller and Marie Rondeau. Going for their third glass of punch are John Anderson, Richard Louring, Lynne Roberts, and Janet Fontaine. Janet Spring and Steve Tillman, Eleanor Wilk and John Delap, Kathy Lemanski and Paul Posesek, Roberta Teehan, and David Bissa i I Ion are dancing to the music of Chet ' s Orches- tra, which consisted of a few Comp alumni; Chet Trybus, Wayne Erickson, Robert John- son, Gerald Steiger, Tom LaRochelle, and Earl Upchurch. As we walk by Christina Drabinski, Diane Simard, and Joyce Moreau, we overhear the latest gossip. From listening we find out that Peggy Rattigan now lives in New Mexico and is doing quite well as a teacher of English. We also are told of Robert Drake, who is a dentist in New York, and Carol Cruz, who is his secretary. Playing in the Rose Bowl this year are David Lariviere, Lance Stabler, Brian Gordon, George Tillett, Frank Adams, 81 and Daniel Murphy. On the opposing team are Richard Wisniewski, John Blake, Ben Podolak, Jack Pruitte, Dennis Hossfeld, and Fred Martin. An oldy but goody, Lenette Cariani, is a Wap-Burger maker in Italy. We also hear that Jacqueline Fortin runs her own beauty salon and Jean Benander is her most frequent customer. Pat Bobek is now head nurse at the Providence Hospital, and some of the nurses under her are Pat Childs, Sandra Motley, Penny Ohm, Nancy Scanlon, and Caroline Savey. Modeling at Forbes and Wallace are Carol Kowalik , Barbara Ambrose, Diane King and Carol Ames. William Buckley now interviews a few members of the class. First, he stops by Tom Bellerose, who tells about his trip to Russia. Susan Beeler tells us she is a professor of psychology in West Virginia. James Dupont and Walter Fijal are partners in a big industrial firm in India. Chris Deady started the second gold rush, only this time it is in Alaska. Some of his rich employees are John Evans, Ted Ganczak, Kenneth Doody, and Richard Fontaine. We are fortunate enough to have our reunion at the same time that the new Ice Capet group are performing at the Coleseum. In the group are Judy Back- strom, Theresa Cardinal, Colleen Cooney, Pat Eisenman, Judy Chaisson, Kathy Crandall, Sue Halpin, Nancy Fauss, Alison Izatt, Sharon Fields, Nancy Henderson, and Sharon Gordon. In the Ice Cadets are James Baker, Paul Chartier, Philip Desmarais, Robert Dziadzio, Ronald Huff, Stanley Farr, Richard Bergeron, Richard Christopher, Charles Hornbuckle, Teddy Jarzabek, Robert Greenwood, and Richard Blanchard. Interviewing Louella Gonzales, we find out she is an opera singer in Spain. From talking to Pamela Blackburn, we learn that she still plays the French horn and is appearing in a concert next week. Aboard the U.S.S. Saratoga are some of of our former classmates who are not able to attend because they are serving Uncle Sam. These sailors are Paul Fields, Michael Gonet, Rodney Glover, Tony Gawron, Stephen Garthwait, Bruce Erickson, Tony Essman, and John Fitzgerald. Stationed near home at Westover are Base Commander Ralph Embrey, Major John Connor, Captains Peter Dikan and Brian Donnelly, and First Lt. Frank Bauer. Stationed together in Japan are Robert Bissonnette and Edward Downey. Also abroad in their sharp uniforms are Richard D ' Andrea, Air Force,- Lawrence Bergeron, Coast Guard; Charles Miesch and Melvin McCoy, Marines,- and last but not least are John Julo, Richard Moore, Eugene Lussier, Charles Phaneuf, and Dennis Murray, who are scattered over the continent as members of the U.S. Army. The lucky girls accompanying these men are Waves Christine Barabani, Patricia Bowen, Martha Brackett, and Mary Hannigan. And the girls who keep the Air Force rolling are Shirley Borowski, Nancy Hudson, Gioia Algee, Joanne Grzelak, and June Baldassare. We also heard that the stork has made several visits to Mr. and Mrs. James Lawson, who are the proud parents of the second set of quintuplets in the United States. A set of twins were delivered by Dr. Bill Rand to Mr. and Mrs. Donald Schimke, and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Moore. Getting back to the program at the Schine Inn, our guest speaker, Mr. John Smith, talks about the progress of Chicopee since 1964. In his presentation he congratulates Mayor 82 Joseph Piela and his department heads: Kathy Dziok, Walter Tolpa, June Wendry, Don- ald Loiselle, and Bernard Couillard. He tells us that Sickles, run by Paul Teehan, has produced the greatest amount of radio equipment in the United States. Some of Mr. Teehan ' s employees are Sue Rauscher, Sharon Kirby, Christine Wyszynski, Nancy Tuck, Joanne Mohan, Jeanne Pifcher, and Diane Stebbins. Mr. Smith also describes a new launching station in Chicopee constructed in 1975 by the Thomas Simpson Construction Company. The first astronauts launched from our home station in 1980 were Nancy Tugie, Ann Sampson, June Perron, Claudelle Leclair, and Sandy Paquette. This great advancement in Chicopee has brought many big businesses, such as the Mabel Perdue Seamstress Co., which provides the astronaut uniforms,- the Frederick Martin Fuel Co., the Patrick Murphy Steel Corp.,- and the Elaine Nurak Tube Food Co. Our speaker confirmed that the completion of the great Wenzel Land, created by Kathy Wenzel has brought important diplomatic leaders here. Among them are some of our old friends: Mayor of New York, Stanley Truce,- Duke of Windsor, Fredrick Smith, Superintendent of Schools in Alabama, Leonard Shewchuk; Queen of England, Judy Metz,- President of the Ameri- can Tel. Tel., Dennis Monson,- Secretary to the President of the United States, Marcia Michalik, and famous movie stars Nadine Monaco, Sharon Wells, Mary Ann Mszanski, Joseph Lukiwsky, Paul Kenison, Gerald Kawalec, and Martin Kane. During the years after our graduation, a world wide newspaper agency sprang up with its main office in Chicopee. The editor of the Star Chronicle is Donald Lacharite. His by- line reporters are Pat Johnson, John Gula, Marie Guyott, Linda Surgur, Barry Roberts, Allan Lashway, June Major, Richard Dansereau, Robert Granger, and Pauline Rua. Radio station C.C.L.P.J. has sky-rocketed to Mars, where we have some of our great news commentators from our home town. Among them are Sandra Topulas, William Lees, Gil- bert Robitaille, Howard Nelson, Richard Blanchard, and Richard Litwin. After concluding his speech Mr. Smith stumbled off the stage and broke his baby finger nail. Sally McGorry and Harolyn Richter rushed in with a stretcher. They were followed by the doctor, Michael Pandolfo. The victim was rushed to the Margaret Maloney Hos- pital by Keith Morris and Gordon Kroenke, driving the ambulance. While this terrible tragedy was taking place, our former principal, Mr. Ziemba, stepped up to the microphone to give recognition to the people who worked so hard to bring about the first reunion of Chicopee Comp. He expressed his warm gratitude to Sue Kuopinski, Vicki McFeeley, Floried Trout, Pat Wysk, Elizabeth Rothey, and Carol Sto- kowski for being prominent citizens in the community. We see Jean Theroux, Janet Wacelitz, Sandra Weinberger, and Carolyn Watson, look- ing at their former classmates as they file out of the Schine Inn. The expression on their faces show in a few words that they will never forget this gala occasion. 83 CLASS WILL We, the Class of 1 964, the first graduating class of Chico- pee Comprehensive High School, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby declare this our last will and testament. To Mr. Ziemba and Mr. Coscore, we leave the memory of the first and best class to graduate from Comp — the Class of 1 964. To Mrs. Shumway and Mr. Ryan, our class advisors, we will our sincere appreciation for suffering along with us the pains and joys of building a reputation and a tradi- tion for our new school. To the Class of 1965, we will the privilege of being looked up to as seniors in setting an example for the underclassmen. To the Class of 1966, we will the heartaches and joys of class dues, the magazine drive, the Junior Prom, and everything else that goes along with your first year as an organized, united class. To the Class of 1 967, we will our congratulations to them for surviving through their freshman year. I, Carol Ames, being of sound mind and strong body, will to Chicopee Comprehensive High School the best gradu- ating class there ever will be. We are great, not less, but more — we ' re the Class of ' 64. A very generous Walter Tolpa bequeaths his five long, but wonderful years in high school to anyone who is stupid enough to take them. The best of luck is wished to the person who receives them. A locker with the caved-in floor in the Trade School is happily surrendered by Peg Rat Rattigan to her brother, Little Rat. Kurt Embrey — I will if you will. I, Ron Huff, being of relatively sound mind and body, will my left-over lunches from first lunch to Bill Burns, and my old, broken guitar picks to Brian Nichols, so he can learn to play the guitar. To anyone who can fit into them, Mark Chapdelaine wills his soccer shoes. Don Schimke relinquishes his grundy socks to whoever wants them. I, Jack Pruitte, hereby leave the entire collection of cob- webs accumulated in my Trade School locker to Charlie Turtle Tetrealt. The lucky recipient of Mary Hannigan ' s problems is Mr. Ahern. Being of sound mind and body, I, Jeff Fitzgerald, leave. Kathy Dziok would like to donate any extra space in the cafeteria to any student. Janet Wacelirz turns over to her sister Judy, all her un- served sessions and all her yellings from Mr. Ahern. George Tyler relinquishes his old tootheless comb to Bill Casteel, who deserves it. To her sister Fran, Judy O ' Connor leaves all her torn book covers, unfinished homework assignments, and her locker in the Trade section. To Bonnie Burns go all the heartaches and joys of high school football and basket- ball games. Her white cheering skirt is also left to Bonnie. Won ' t Mr. Ahern appreciate the box of chalk to save the wear and tear on his fingers willed to him by Jan Fleming!

In the midst of all the confusion and excitement, our curiosity as to what high school was real ly like now was being fulfilled. The clamor of a presidential election year added to our apprehension of entering high school. The paramount result of this hectic campaign was the inspiring Inaugural Address of the newly elected President, John F. Kennedy. One of the many problems which confronted us as Freshmen was the overcrowdedness of Chicopee High School. It was learned that a new high school would soon be built, but until then we must cope with triple sessions and shared lockers. We were soon introduced to Mr. Henry Fay, Principal of C.H.S., and Mr. Stanley Ziemba, Vice-Principal, and many of us began to know too well exactly where their offices were located! As time passed on, we began to familiarize ourselves with many things. Such places as Baby Heaven and Cat ' s Alley will never be forgotten by most of us. And of course we will never forget Chicopee ' s own Maroon and Gold Spider. As proud members of the student body, we watched our school ex- perience a wonderful year in sports. Our football team won the AA Conference Championship for the second time, being the only team to have ever accomplished this. The basketball team proved just as great when they ended with a perfect season, winning the Valley League crown. Our newly formed swimming team worked hard for a good record, and our cheerleaders took first place in the Cheerleading Tournament. As the long awaited month of June arrived, we looked forward with eager anticipation to our first challenge at upperclassmen ' s feelings of superiority at the annual Field Day held at Szot Park. June came only too quickly,- and as Step-up Day arrived, it was a pleasure to watch the younger children come in to take over our places as Freshmen. SOPHOMORE YEAR 1961-1962 We returned this fall feeling a little bit more sure of ourselves. No longer would we be holding our program cards in front of our noses looking for the class we were supposed to be in five minutes ago or looking for the classroom that was there yesterday but today just wasn ' t anywhere in sight. 90 This year brought the World ' s Fair to Seattle, Washington, and the building of the extravagant restaurant Space needle which towered high above the Fair giving those at the top a magnificent view of the happenings below. Two new T.V. personalities. Dr. Ben Casey and R. Kildare, made a big hit with us all, and soon many articles such as doctors ' blouses and jewelry came into prominence. We still remained on the triple session schedule, and we knew at this time that next year we would be attending the new high school, which meant the Class of ' 64 would be the first graduating class. A most interesting event took place this year. In fact, when you entered the cafeteria, you didn ' t know exactly where you were. Yo-yos were everywhere in sight! You didn ' t have to look to see what it was if some- thing landed in your soup or dessert, but this soon lost its popularity and in time yo-yo playing ceased to exist. In the spring, the annual Science Fair brought notable recognition to two members of our class. Bill Rand was presented the Massachusetts Heart Association Award and John Jula took first place in biology. We again experienced a successful year in sports. The basketball team won the Valley League Championship for their second consecutive year, and the baseball team won the State Championship. Our hockey team enjoyed a fine season as they went into the new Berry Division. Four intelligent students from C.H.S. appeared on the television quiz program, As Schools Match Wits, and brought great honor to the school when they became undefeated champions. This ended our Sophomore year at Chicopee High School and also our final year in that building. When we returned to school next year, we would be attending the Chicopee Comprehensive High School as the Junior Class. JUNIOR YEAR 1962-1963 The moment we entered the building, we realized how lucky we were to be attending such a beautiful school! As the top class at Chicopee Comprehensive we knew that it was our duty to set a good example to be followed not only this year but in the many years to come. Together with our principal, Mr. Stanley J. Ziemba, and our Vice- Principal, Mr. William Coscore, the faculty and the student body worked together to make our first year at Comp a successful one. The first thing to be done was to elect class officers. We knew that this would have to be done with careful consideration because of the im- portance of the job that would have to be carried out by them. The officers elected were Robert Drake, President; Barbara Ambrose, Vice- President; Heather Stewart, Secretary; and Joan Pluta, Treasurer. 91 The laying of the cornerstone took place on November 20, 1962. Mayor Edward Lysek and Superintendent of Schools John L. Fitzpatrick were among many of the distinguished guests present. Our first Student Council was set up with Mr. Morrisette and Mr. Crane as their advisors. Elected officers were: Ray Everett, President; Secretary, Linda Lebrecque; Treasurer, Connie Henderson; and Vice-President, Pat Bennett. To raise the necessary money we needed for our Senior year, a sucessful magazine drive was held and dances were sponsored by the Student Council and by us, the Junior Class. Many outstanding events held at our school proved our ability to work together as a group although we were a new school. These events in- cluded the Variety Show, the Western Massachusetts Student Council Conference, and the Water Ballet Show. The most important of these was the Education Exhibit held in May with Mr. Moran serving as chairman. Displays from each department were set up and the public was invited to attend our school to see these exhibits. Sports of many kinds were offered also. To assist and support our inter- scholastic teams, the following were selected as Comp ' s first Varsity Cheerleading Squad: Judy O ' Connor, Joan Pluta, Janet Spring, Barbara Nelson, Heather Stewart, Carolyn Labonte, Diane Sagan, and Linda Tshonis. The varsity basketball and baseball teams were coached by Mr. Dul- chinos,- track, Mr. Ouimette; swimming team, Mr. Budynkiewicz,- soccer, Mr. Welker,- golf, Mr. Orlowski; and tennis, Mr. White. The Junior Varsity football team was also coached by Mr. White and the J.V. basketball and baseball teams were under the direction of Mr. Hurst. Never were we so proud as when spring came and we received our class rings! The last thing to be enjoyed by us this year was our Junior Prom, Night in the Oriental Garden. We could not have had a more beautiful prom if we had been a long established school. Gary Packingham, who has now left our school, served as general chairman for this prom. We said good-bye to Comp as we finished this long and busy year and waited anxiously to start our Senior year in the fall. SENIOR YEAR 1963-1964 We returned this September enthusiastic for the new school year. As Seniors, we still remained the top class full of plans we hoped would work out. 92 November 22, 1963, marked the day of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. A blanket of mourning fell across the nation when the death of this great man occurred, and to pay tribute to him the flag in front of our school was lowered to half mast for an entire month. The only two new officers elected this year were Gaylon Ramsey, Presi- dent and Pat Bennett serving as Vice-President. Heather Stewart main- tained her place as secretary and Joan Pluta, treasurer. The Comp Chronicle became the name of our newspaper and the journalism staff issued its first volume in October. Many firsts began happening at Comp once again. The cheerleaders sponsored a hoot ' n ' rally, a National Honor and Pro Merito Society was established with Sherman Jones elected as President, Janet Spring, Vice-President; Bonnie Reed, secretary, and Steve Tillman, treasurer, and plans for a Senior play, Time Out For Ginger began. Our first dance this year was a Sweetheart Ball held in February in cooperation with the Junior Class. Miss Pamela Blackburn reigned as queen and was presented with one dozen American Beauty roses. Chosen as members of her court were Beverly Rollins, Betty Rothey, Joan Pluta, and Janet Fontaine. Richard Hall, Scott Rand, Steve Tillman and Joseph Sasfy were the team of four scholars that made its debut on As Schools Match Wits and did extremely well. Alternates were Mary Van der Heyden and William (Kip) Crandall. Sherman Jones was selected to attend Student Government Day in Boston. In sports a new team was added. This was the hockey coached by Mr. Welker. Comp ' s first hockey season ended successfully. The football team had a winning season, their biggest game being a win over Cathedral High School. The basketball and soccer team both enjoyed good seasons also. Although our teams faced fierce competition they pulled through scoring many wins. The varsity cheerleaders backing up the teams this year were.- Judy O ' Connor and Joan Pluta, co-captains. Heather Stewart, Colleen Cooney, Donna Geraltowski, Bonnie Byrne, Karen Ducharme, and Sharon Jendrysik. The Junior Varsity members included: Betsy Mitchell, Judy Jez, Kathy Jagadowski, Linda Tsohonis, Barbara Rhode, April Baker, Jackie Fortin, and Michelle Mercier. As one of our final duties as Seniors we chose our class pins. Now, as we look back, our Senior Prom, class picnic, and our class banquet are all behind us. In just a few more days June 13 will be here. On that day Comp will set forth its first graduating class, the Class of 1964, out into the world. With the knowledge we have gained from our four years as high school students, we face the world with courage and the hope to continue. We say good-bye now to all the many friends we have made. Best of luck to you from the Class of 1964! 93 Class Song Blue Velvet Most Typical Janet Spring and William Pudlo Most Talkative CLASS BALLOT Class Flower Red Rose Class Colors Blue and White Did the Most for Class of 64 Tony Essman and Carol Bardon Steve Tillman and Joan Pluta Most Gullible Mary Maj and Richard Hall Most Athletic Best Dressed Pat Bennett and David Bissallion Sue Rauscher and Rick Fortin Class Singers Class Musicians Leon Simard and Candy Champagne Mary Lou Griffin and Lance Stabler 95 THE HIGHER WE RISE, Most Collegiate Roberta Teehan and Gerry Steiger Most Likely to Succeed Class Couple Janet Spring and Steve Tillman Class Wits Janet Spring and William Pudlo Dave Scott and Lynn Watson THE BROADER OUR VIEWS.” Class Pessimist Heather Stewart and Bill Rand Best Looking Pat Bennett and Rick Fortin Class Optomists Most Popular Sh erm Jones and Judy O ' Connor Steve Tillman and Kathy Booth WHO’S WHO GOOD GOVERNMENT DAY REPRESENTATIVE Sherman Jones SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS President — Gaylon Ramsey Vice President — Pat Bennet Secretary — Heather Stewart Treasurer — Joan Pluta SCHOOLS MATCH WITS TEAM Richard Hall Scott Rand Joseph Sasfy Steve Tillman Kip Crandall Mary Van Der Hyden 98 WHO’S WHO MODEL CONGRESS William Pudlo Janet Spring Gaylon Ramsey Steve Tillman BETTY CROCKER AWARD Kathy Lackey ALL STATE DISTRICT BAND REPRESENTATIVES 99 WET HAIR - A COMP ORIGINAL TIME OUT FOR GINGER THE QUEEN AND HER COURT AT THE JUNIOR-SENIOR COTILLION.

Yearbook Staff When the Yearbook staff was initially selected, we — the editors especially — really had no idea why we were here, much less what we were going to do. We had no experience and since we were the first class to graduate at Comp, we could ask no one for help in producing something that resembled a yearbook. Senior pictures, underclass pictures, write-ups, advertisements, art work. Who ' s Who, layouts, candids — literally hundreds of can- dids — had to be marked and sent to the publishers. The editors worked hard enough but always with some deadly apprehension for the Senior Class is notorious for disliking any and all yearbooks. Many a Saturday was spent in the school library working on new ideas and attempting to meet the much dreaded deadline. The day of passing out the yearbooks finally came, marked by the usual howls. Anyway, we did out best and, at least, we en- joyed it. Under the direction ot Mrs. Shumway, the staff includes: Editor, Bill Pudlo Co-Editor, Lucia Whitaker Editors ' Technical Assistant, Bill Rand Personalities, Kathy Booth Linda Newcomb Faculty, Mary Maj Activities, Carol Kowalik Sports, Lance Stabler Advertising, Nancy Tugie Art, Tony Gawron Photography, Ron Huff Typing, Pat Bobek Memories, Gay Ramsey Class Ballot, Judy O ' Connor Class History, Cindy Polverini Class Will, Nadine Monaco Class Prophecy, Carol Barthelette 106 Editorials Page 2 In the Comp Chronicle the editorials can be found on page two. In additio n to editorials, page two contains colleges of the month, book reviews, and human interest stories. The pattern remains the same every month for the page make-up — two columns of editorials on the left, including the staff box; and three columns of news on the right. A great deal of time is spent on deciding head- lines, pictures, copy and on making a layout. Except for the difference in arrangement, each page gets put together in the same manner; each reporter is assigned definite articles each week which must be corrected, revised, and typed. Then they go to the printer who makes up galley proofs which are then pasted over an old copy of the Chronicle and then returned to the printer. The printer returns the finished papers to the school for distribution. As you can see, it ' s not so easy making a paper.

SECOND ROW Ken Fagnant, Robert Dziadzio, Heather Stewart, Laurel Demers, Kathy Booth, Carol Kowalik, Kathy Wenzel, Penny Ohm, Bob Drake. THIRD ROW Susan Beeler, Sherri Nibblett, Linda Friend, Donna Levreault, Louella Gonzales. Sports Scope No phase of newspaper work can ever be la- beled as an easy job. But the most difficult task is preparing an interesting, up-to-date sports page. Since timeliness is involved, play by play reviews of a single game must be eliminated. Varsity sports have received the most attention as we tried to give each team as good a write- up as possible. Meet The Team, a new column, became a regu- lar feature of the sports page. It provided a close interview with our varsity athletes. Besides the column, interviews, advance stories, varsity schedules and advertisements makeup the page. After the copy is copy-read, the bread and butter of any newspaper, advertisements, must be pasted on the dummy. The sports department extended thanks to the coaching staff for their cooperation in preparing sports articles. Chess Club The Chess Club was a new organization at Comp this year. Led under the supervision of Mr. Checkwitz, they led a campaign to recruit girls. The players hope to achieve recognition as a major extracurricular activity within a few years when they join the chess league. Straight From The Horse ' s Mouth Senior Bill Rand wanted to introduce himself to the new girl at a basket- ball game, but he later learned she was Tony Gawron with a Beatle wig! Did ya ride in Lenny ' s (St. George) hot car yet? It seems he has all accessories except the brakes! Seniors Berta Teehan and Carol Kowalik set a new first at Comp. They were fined for jay-walking in Springfield and received summons. Remember the good old Sunday afternoons when Mimi Mercier could be seen directing traffic in front of City Hall with an ice-cream cone in her hand? Did anyone see Rick Fortins new shade of lipstick? It matches his pink pair of socks! Well, 64 was a swinging year for the seniors. Besides dreaming up fantastic ideas for eluding classes and excuses for not doing homework, the class of 64 will be one not to be forgotten by the teachers and underclassmen of Comp, especially to be remembered by Mr. Coscore. Art Club A visit into the Art Room might lead you into thinking it was Greenwich Village. Besides being a haven for prospective Rembrant ' s, Renoirs, Picassos, the Impressionists, the cubist, or the surrealists, the club gives them a studio to express themselves freely. Under the leadership of Miss Borowiec, the Art Club contributes the art work for the senior play. Comp Frolics, minstrels, the yearbook and other events. Although small in number, the Art Club is large in achievement. Officers are President, Pat Bennett; Vice- President, Rita Landis; Secretary, Phyllis Cieplik. Spanish Club The Spanish Club was started early this year by Dr. Carlos Cruz and Paul Peloquin. The club makes use of tapes of My Fair Lady and Spanish culture. A field trip was made to Hartford to see the Ballet Folko- rico de Mexico at Bushnell Memorial Hall. To say a pro-Franco movement is under way is probably going too far, but the fact re- mains that there are quite a few students in- terested in Spain, Mexico and Spanish cul- ture. Officers: President, Barb Ambrose; Vice President, Sue Raucher,- Treasurer, Mabel Perdue,- Secretary, Betty Rothey. German Club The German Club, headed by John Gogol, enriches their knowledge of German and Germany by viewing films of the German speaking countries of today. Baked goods sold like hot cakes and proved to be a suc- cess to raise money for field trips. Rumors say they are negotiating to buy East Ger- many,- more reliable reports say that they are planning rollicking trips. The officers are: President, Bob Drake,- Vice-President, Susan Wheeler,- Treasurer Susan Beeler,- and Secretary, Dana Brackett. Amass all of Comp ' s future ad- ministrators into one group and you will have the Business Club. This year the Club sponsored many activities including trips to the Mass. Mutual Insurance Co., Bay Path Jr. College and other agencies. An interesting sidelight is that their meetings rarely last longer than twenty minutes (thanks to their busi- ness-like efficiency). The ad- visor was Miss Grazanka. Debate Club Under the watchful eye of Mr. Ahearn, the Debate Club fin- ished fourth in the Conn. Valley League. Debates were held in individual schools and in tour- naments. Excelsior continued to cultivate knowledge in the culture of the Romans by holding an original Saturnalia. Saturnalia was a joyous Christmas festival with riotous merrymaking. Comp ' s Romans proved to be no excep- tion and there was merrymak- ing indeed.

Under the direc- tion of Mr. Simon, the students carry on work backstage and in the A.V. room. These busy beavers are behind the scenes at every assembly pro- gram, and make it possible for all of the student body to enjoy films and movies as a part of their studies. 110 French Club The French Club has expanded by the addition of inter- ested first and second year French students to the regu- lar membership of third and fourth year club members. Achetez la voix Francois, which means Buy the French Voice refers to the new French newspaper put out by the industrious members. With the money earned from the sale of newspapers, the club, as suggested by its advisor Donald Robertaille, went to see L ' ALOUTTE, a French play. The students are also given the oppor- tunity to become better acquainted with French customs and French cultures. Offcers: President, Cathy Hoffman; Vice President, Theresa Barre,- Secretary, Paula Dubin; Treasurer, Dianne Vincent. Future Teachers Under the leadership of Miss O ' Brien, the future teachers look forward to fulfilling their goal. Numerous trips to area colleges and bake sales were part of their activi- ties.

Officers were Presi- dent Sandra Topulas,- Vice-President Jackie Fortin,- Secre- tary Monica Lukasik; Treasurer Linda Tsohonis,- Historian Donna Geraltowski; Parliamentarian Mabel Perdue. Ill Future Nurses Our life might be resting one day in the hands of these capable girls. These prospective nurses in white starch caps visit hospitals, nursing homes, and observe modern techniques on food preparation, infant care, surgical dressings and hospital administration. The club advisor is Miss Sudnik. Officers were Cheryl Buchanan, President; Mary Ann Jones, Vice President; Sandra Laduzenski, Secretary,- Louella Gonzales, Treasurer. Drama Club Comprehensive High ' s dramatic society, the Comp Plaiers, is a hard working but richly rewarded club headed by Mrs. Phyllis Goodrich. The students presented an adaptation of a Reginald Rose play called Twelve Angry Jurors. The lively three act play portrays twelve different individuals, each with his own prejudices and opinions, demonstrating the way in which the American juror system works. The Drama Club of ' 63- ' 64 can look back on a year of rewarded effort and will carry with it in the years to come memories of fun and experience. Pep Club A common sight at all our Colt games is the section of girls dressed in blue and waving pompons of blue and gold. These cheerful girls make up Comp ' s Pep Squad, whose main purpose is to cheer the Colts to victory. Working hard to boost school spirit, they wear their uni- forms on color day and support the Colt ' s by attending all the games. The leaders, cheerful, ready and willing to the end, were Miss St. Clair, Mrs. Pirog and Miss Topor. BEAT ' EM BEAT ' EM.

Special Chorus Dolphinettes Band The Comp High Band is open to all students interested in instrumental music. Each year the group performs at football games during halftime. On March 15 the group marched for the St. Patrick ' s Day Parade held in Holyoke. This year the Band competed in the Music Festival held in Hadley where ratings were given for the first time in the Festival. At Christmas, the group gave a joint concert with the chorus in our gym. The majorettes perform with the band at all outside ap- pearances. Mr. Allan Sittard, the band ' s director, has given all of his time and effort in order to make our band the best. He has succeeded in this endeavor. We ' re all proud of our 113 piece Comp Band. Majorettes The Majorettes of Comp were selected during the fall and have served for the entire term of 63-64. The try- outs were based on poise, fundamentals, and overall performances. The twirlers have provided half-time en- tertainment for the football games with high-strutting marches and intricate twirling patterns. We have thoroughly enjoyed preparing and perform- ing routines for athletic functions and parades this year. It has been our privil ege and honor to represent the stu- dent body of C.C.H.S. in such a fashion. Co-captains are Pat Bobek and Lenette Cariani. COMP COLTS The Colts opened their first varsity football season in the fall of 1963. Compiling a 5 win, 2 loss record, the Colts had the last game called off because of snow. The Cohs got off to a roaring start in downing Adams and Drury, but were cooled a little by a loss to Springfield Tech and a heart-breaker to Enfield. But the Colts came pounding back with three straight wins over Trade, Cathedral and Ludlow in that order. The highlight of the season was a great win over Cathedral 21-6. The Colts played their best brand of ball as the offense dominated the first half and defense the second half. After the season had been completed, three men were chosen as All-Independent, due to their superlative playing during the season. These three were Bill Castel, Dennis Nevue and Richard Sitcer. Ray Barrows was elected Most Valuable Player of the season by the team. 120 1963 M.V.P.

The offense got off to a fast start by going 70 yards in six plays; the last 40 being a touchdown pass from Jim Audette to Lance Stabler. Never behind, the Colts managed to stay one ahead of Adams at all times. Outstanding on offense were Ray Barrows, Rich Sitcer and Lance Stabler while Chris Deady, Rich Fortin, and Jim Audette held down the defense. Jeff Fitzgerald Defensive End Don Lacharite Joel Formby Defensive End Fullback Colts 8 Drury 0 The Colts continued to win by upsetting the Drury eleven by a score of 8-0. Rick Fortin set up the first touchdown by returning the opening kickoff 40 yards. From there the Colts went 45 yards in six plays as Joel Formby scored the first and only TD of the game from twelve yards out. Rich Sitcer added two, and the Colts settled down to defense. Dennis Nevue and Joel Formby were outstanding on offense, while Rick Fortin and Jeff Fitzgerald bottled up Drury on defense. Sherm Jones Halfback John Lingo Fullback Chris Deady Linebacker Colts 19 Tech 42 The Colts suffered their first and worst defeat of the season at the hands of a strong Tech team. The Colts got off to a good start as Ralph Jenkins ran back a punt 70 yards to the two yard line. The Colts couldn ' t break the scoring glass in four downs, but on a fumble Sherm Jones tallied from four yards out to put Comp ahead 6-0. Hay was eaten by Sherm Jones, Lance Stabler, and Lance Finfinger as each scored one TD. Lance Stabler Halfback Greg Campbell Halfback Frank Marcotte Guard Colts 8 Enfield 16 Weakened with injuries, the Colts couldn ' t hold back the Enfield team in a heart breaker 16-8. Behind 8-0 at halftime, the Colts came back to tie it up as Sherm Jones was on the end of an Audette pass that covered 47 yards. Audette passed for the two points that tied the score but late in the 4th quarter, Enfield punched over a final score that put the game on ice for Enf eld. Don Kubera End Gerry Carney Guard Denny Hausafeld Center Colts 36 Trade 0 After losing two, the Colts got down to the hay at hoof by trouncing the Trade team 36-0. All three Colt teams played in the game. Outstand- ing in the game were John Lingo, Lance Stabler, Jim Audette, Charles Tutty and Lance Finfnger. While on the line, Billy Castell, Tony Bara- bani, Ray Barrows and Dennis Nevue tore up the Trade offensive and defense. Even as the Colts pounded Trade in the turf, they were looking forward to the big game with Catheral. Colts 2 I Cathedral 6 The big day came; so did Catheral. After the hay settled and dust cleared, the Colts came out on top of a hard fought battle with the Catheral eleven, 21-6. The Colts, scoring all three touch downs in the first half, time again held the Cathelral eleven from scoring by magnificent defensive playing as Rick Fortin and Willie Castell fortified the Colt defense. John Lingo played a sensational offensive game as he scored two touch downs of 65 and 30 yards, spear-heading the Colt Charge. Chris Wall, Jim Audette and Tony Barabani played exceptionally well for the winners. Rick Fortin Halfback Denny Nevue Tackle Lance Stabler and Halfback Rick (the toe) Sitcer Colts 14 Ludlow 2 In the seventh and final game, Camp emerged victorious as the Colts closed out with a win over Ludlow 14-12. Rich Sitcer ' s toe proved to be the winning margin as he converted 2 of 2 extra points. The Colts got first hay as Rick Fortin scored the first TD. Ludlow came back but couldn ' t conver the point and Comp stayed on top 7-6. Lance Finflnger proved to be the man of the hour as he ran 65 yards to the hay stacks. Ludlow came back but again couldn ' t convert the points and the game ended with the Colts again knocking on the barn door. This was the final game of the season and a fitting end for a fine team.

COLT CAGERS BASKETBALL The Colt Cagers finished their second Varsity season as they complied a 12 win 8 loss record. The Colts stunned Longmeadow, Enfield, and Classical in that order during the season and in the biggest game of the year, beat Commerce in a comeback victory 75-72. The Colts made a strong bid for a berth in the tournaments this year, but a loss to the strong Com- merce team in the second meeting deprived them of a place in the tournament. John Grham came out on top in the scoring contest of the team, compiling 11.9 point average, with Sherm Jones being elected most valuable player of the year.
