Many of the most valu- able lessons ever presented to students have been taught by the coordinator of the social studies department. Not only has he shown that knowledge is necessary for the person- al development of each individual, but he has also taught that concern and apprecia- tion for others are vital to achieve respect in society. His warm sense o humor has melt- ed many barriers that often develop be- tween student and teacher. He is deeply concerned about all students, not only those enrolled in his classes. It is with our deepest affections that we dedicate Memini 1976 to Mr. John Moran. l jtr Tj n-’ ] li 1 H mf i| tm K| li i 1 Kf k i ? , Jgr ; M I lilt MU ' i ■ mm- M : M§fm Wih., . |s of joy I days spirits . 4 And renewe Our experiences together Strengthened our friendships And broadened our horizons . . . I inn it FRESHMAN YEAR 1972-1973 Freshman Year — Introductory Year. Finally the big time: no more junior high. Our time as freshmen was different from that of most other classes due to the fact that we were housed at Kirby, the Annex of Comp. Although the complaints that we were deprived of many aspects of being in high school because of this segregation are valid, at least one good thing seems to have come from it. By being only with the members of our own grade, we had a marvelous chance to get to know each other well before taking on all of the other classes, and it has become evident that this “togetherness has aided the ’76 class in many of its endeavors. Right from the start, we bi-centennial graduates demonstrated our leadership abilities, or at least our willingness to get involved. A specific example of this is our “Walk Out, when many Frosh marched up to the main building to protest the cancellation of extra-curricular activities. Despite the fact that this rebellious action didn ' t accomplish very much, the oeeuranee became a blueprint for our class years at CCHS. Against almost insurmountable odds, this Freshman class emerged victorious in the inter-class competition for contributions to the Canned Food Drive. Concerning the other three classes in the school, a catalogue of activities such as dances, plays, and games, were carried out in the traditional manner. With the close of the ' 72 - 73 school year we, as freshmen, anticipated our admittance to the main building and the mainstream of high school life. SOPHOMORE YEAR 1973-1974 Sophomore Year — Linking Year. Full-fledged members of the CCHS community, yet not totally familiar with all of the ropes. Literal translation of the word “sophomore is “wise fool,” and while others might disagree, during the ’73-’74 school year our class certainly found this applicable. After buying the usual share of elevator passes and looking for the staircases to the fifth floor, we settled down to life as sophomores. As usual, this life included the Candy Sale which resulted in many number’s being forced to loosen their belts in an effort to meet our goal. Another trademark of the second year is the election of class officers for the first time, and our class was no exception. Of all of our years at Comp, Sophomore Year was the most successful in the respect of sports — in fact, we missed the Triple Crown of football, basketball and baseball by only one point. It was also during this year that the Marching Colts were chosen “Band of the Year” to represent Massachusetts in the bicenten- nial parade to be held in Allentown in 1976. While the annual affairs such as plays, formals, and suppers were executed with utmost care, the sand in the hour class continued on its never ending journey to forever, and the Class of 1976 moved toward its position as members of the upperclass of Chicopee Comprehensive High School. JUNIOR YEAR 1974-1975 Junior Year — Safe Year. Close enough to graduation to anticipate it, yet not close enough to fear it. Finally sitting on the upperclass side of gym, knowing the ropes, and out-yelling the sophomores at rallies were all trademarks of our next-to-last year in high school. For the Class of 1976, the ’74- 75 school year included the traditional activities usually associated with juniorhood. The Senior-Junior Cotillion, the Junior Prom, the magazine drive, and our defeat by the Seniors in the Powder Puff Football Game fulfilled our list of expected school functions. Speaking of the school in general, the year was a busy one. In sports, it was an “always a bridesmaid, never a bride” year as the soccer, football, basketball, and baseball teams all did remarkably well yet just missed winning their respective Western Mass titles. In fact, it was “The Year of the Female with the Girls’ Softball Team capturing our sole Western Mass Trophy. With varying degrees of participation from the ’76 class, the other members of the school carried out their activities: the Sophomore candy sale, the Senior Class Play, the Spaghetti Supper, Senior week including the Greaser Dance, and the com- bined efforts which resulted in the Canned Food Drive and the Comp Frolics. On the political side, Chicopee Comp was visited by the Massachusetts gubernatorial candidate Michael Dukakis, who delivered a speech and answered the questions of those students and faculty members who attended. Looking back, Junior year was a bustling, basically content- ed period for our class as we awaited the approach of our final year. SENIOR YEAR 1975-1976 Senior Year — Graduation. The culmination of thirteen years of work and growing — the end of public schooling. Although faced with mixed feelings, this last year in high school was packed with activities. As Seniors, we were looked to for leadership, and it seems we provided it. The Canned Food Drive is a prime example — over four thousand cans were contributed by the Senior class alone — more than the other three classes combined. Another first was the Senior Class Plav — a musical. Due to the graduation year — 1976 — the class presented the school with a Bicentennial Flag to be flown under the flag of the United States. Toward the more traditional side, the victory in the Powder Puff Football Game, the Spaghetti Supper, and other Senior activities were carried out with a good measure of efficiency and fun. Politics came to Comp when selected students were permitted to go to Westover Air Force Base to see President Ford when he came through the area. In the world of sports, the ’75-’76 season was disappointing as far as records are concerned. Perhaps because of this, the emphasis shifted toward enjoyment of the sport rather than the victory-is-all philosophy. Though many members of the 76 class complained ot terrible cases of Seniorites and some declared that the year couldn’t end soon enough, our time as Seniors sped by. After thirteen years of classes and homework, the United States government proclaimed us old enough and wise enough to become full-fledged members of our society. If it is true that the past is indicative of the future, the members of the Ghicopee Comprehensive High School Glass of 1976 appear to be heading toward an affluent and fulfilling tomorrow. 17 Gail Provost Mary Marotte 18 Kathleen Shevlin Raymond Chelte The Class of 1976 has to be the most excellent group of students that Comprehensive has ever had in its history. No other class has demonstrated the spirit, cohesiveness, and drive that bonds a group together like the senior class has exercised during their years at Comp. They have more than proven responsibility, awareness, and a feeling that far surpasses any other class. Our feelings of being a part of and belonging to this class cannot be placed into words, because it is a gut feeling from deep within ourselves. We are very proud to be advisors and will always feel as an integral part of this class while they are here and after they leave Comp. In fact, when they graduate, a large part of us will leave with them. Also, there will never be another group of students that will compare to their feelings for the school, the community, and a part of society as the Class of ’76.

The feelings of dis- unity and alienation were common among the majority of us. Sep- eration from the upper classmen and exclusion from all of the main building events were at times very dis- heartening.

THE WALKOUT The Class of 1976 first proved to the rest of the school that it was no ordi- nary class during its freshman year. On March 8, 1973, cer- tain members of the class decided to make their views known a- bout the Teachers Slowdown. When teach- ers refused to par- ticipate in activities which were not cover- ed by their contracts, including all extra- curricular activities, in order to obtain a new contract, a few (cont. on next page) DONALD T.

Although little was gained by this movement, the Class of 1976 did establish itself as a group of action. Anonymous 25 CRAIG DAHLQUIST Soccer 1; French Club 3. DENISE M DAVIS KAREN A.

The Spirit of ' 76 Although most people relate the words Spi- rit of ' 76 to cannons, gunfire, bombs burst- ing in air, the sign- ing of profound doc- uments and other such niceties, the Senior Class of 1976 at Comp has a different in- t erpretation of the words. To the Seniors, the words mean being the best in anything they attempt to do. They mean having the loudest and most or- iginal cheering sec- tions at all of the rallies and games.

Pain Pressure, pleasure and pain are three of the most common feelings experienced during Senior year Pressure is felt while one waits for the col- lege of his choice to accept or reject him, or while one waits to hear about a job. Pleasure is felt many times during Senior year because: 1.) one is an upperclassman and looked up to, 2.) one is enjoying one of the best years (cont on next page) 34 JEANNE LAFLAMME Cheerleading 1-3; Tennis 3- 4; Memini 76; Pro Merito; Photo Club STANLEY J LACIENSKI Basketball 1-2; Cross Coun- try 2-3; Hiking Club 2-4; Spaghetti- Supper Com. 4; Band 1-2.

Powder Puff To the spectators, the Powder Puff Foot- ball Game is merely an amusement. But to the players on the teams it means much more. Weeks of grueling practice precede the game and each player knows what is expected of her, her best. The unifying spirit on each team is the de- sire to be victorious. To the players, the honor and pride of their class are chal- lenged during the Powder Puff Game.

At commencement, we are traditionally drawn to both reviewing the past and planning the future. In this 200th anniversary of our nation, our thoughts have extended beyond the twelve years of your formal education in Chicopee. The inspiration and knowledge of the past has been placed in your hands. In accepting the torch to be carried into the approaching decades of the third century of this great country, you will be faced with exciting challenges and sober dilemmas. It is my wish that you will utilize the skills and processes for learning which you have acquired in Chicopee Schools to continue to grow to reach your full potential. My sincere congratulations to you. May your lives be filled with happiness, good health and success. 91 Sophie J. Chmura Assistant Superintendent William Mielke Co-ordinator Of Secondary Education ADMINISTRATION ADMINISTRATION To the Class of 1976: I am very happy to extend my congratulations to the class of 1976 upon reaching this milestone in your life. You and many generations before you will face anxieties, uncertain- ties and disappointments. But, like those other generations in the past, you will succeed if you have faith in yourself, your fellow man, and in the Divine Creator. May your future be filled with health, happiness, and success. Sophie J. Chmura Assistant Superintendent 92 TO THE CLASS OF 1976 May I extend to each and every member of the class of 1976 my warmest and most sincere congratulations on a job well done. You have worked hard and with deep interest in and concern for your future. The knowledge you have acquired should certainly be most helpful to you socially as well as in the world of work, no matter where you do or what you do. Remember always that truth, honesty, faith and respect will always be the way to a rich, happy, and truly successful life. Your school is mighty proud of you and has gained much by having you for the past four years. You have helped to maintain the excellent reputation that this school has acquired. Be proud of yourselves and your school. May your future lives be filled with good health, happiness and a good share of success. Stanley J.

From rest and sleep, which but thy picture be, Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow; And soonest our best men with thee do go — Rest of their bones and soul’s delivery! Thou’rt slave to fate, chance kings and desperate men, And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell; And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well And better than thy stroke. Why swell’st thou then?

SUBSCRIPTION EDITORS DENISE HEROUX AND LORI SULIKOWSKI A THANK YOU We would like to extend our thanks to the following people: — To Jeanne Laflamme for making every picture that appears in this book possible. Her able staff of Mark Mackes, Dennis Densmore, Carol Sawka, Pauline Lizotte, Tim Vartanian, and Cindy Streit have helped us along with many needed photos. — To Diane Pare for her dedication to our sports section. Her original ideas made the section what it is. — To Linda Aldrich for writing a fantastic class history. — To Lori Sulikowski and Denise Heroux for their terrific job on subscriptions. Their organization freed us from all wor- ries in that department. — To Spencer Scoles and Mary Rabbitt for their efforts. They rightfully deserve the title of “Helping Out in a Pinch Editors.” — To Mr. Raymond Boulais who has seen us through many trying times. His patience and understanding never wai- vered whenever we confronted him with our problems. — To Mr. Larry Grenier who bent over backwards for us. He spent much of his free time processing countless pictures and taking many shots. — To Mr. Don Lendry, our yearbook representative, who was always there when we needed him.
