2 Fs ¥ Lanegan Classical High Schoo Springfield, Mass. — Volume 54 — The yearbook staff got together to find a theme for this year’s book. In the past we have used abstract ideas such as TIME and CYCLES. This year we decided to deal with the real world. Classical is in the middle of acity, anda lot of our surroundings go by unnoticed. The students of Classical take the city for granted. Going to school in the city means convenience, cultural enrichment, and a lot of fun. For example, what do seniors do when they have open campus (and freshmen, sophomores, and juniors when they skip classes)? They can run an errand downtown, eat in one of several places, or consult a lawyer about a recent parking ticket. What if Classical High were located in the wilderness of Wilbraham? Where would we go? What could we do? I suppose we could always sit on the bleachers and shoot the breeze or we could stand beside the bleachers and shoot the breeze, or...

It is not merely an old building; it is an antique having curious qualities. Notice the silhouette of a boy and girl studying, to be found over the door of room 232. Even the outside of Classical has character. Every day four angels, perched between the doors, welcome you to school. Classical keeps up with the times, of course. Modern technology has invaded our school in the form of copy machines, intercom systems, and even acomputer. No two school days are alike, but some things can be counted on. Lockers regularly spill books to the ground when the doors are opened. Traumatic searches for keys occur every day. Pens dry up and term papers get wrinkled in the rain. The candy machine refuse to give up its gum. Fire drills seem to come in the middle of tests, and substitutes usually appear when least expected.

CLASSICAL AND THE CITY 5 People make school what it is: Not only the administration, the faculty, and the students, but those who are less known. Who are these people? At lunchtime we eat. We may have alunch prepared for us by our competent kitchen staff, or we may prefer to dine else- where. Under the “golden arches,’’ a Big Mac may dissipate our hunger. Ora meal, graciously served by Walter, at the Water Wheel might be more to our taste. There are others related to school whom we take for granted. The policeman daily halts traffic so that we may cross State Street. The busdrivers carry busloads of boisterous students reluctantly to and eagerly from school. The hardhats, too, are a daily sight as they work on the Chestnut Park redevelopment project. Classical is a part of the community. Students, teachers, the people and places who surround it, all make it the place that it is.

Busses, the larger modes of transport, provide means of travel for the majority of the school. Opening their accordian doors, they pour thousands of students daily onto the sidewalks of our city. Although many do embark daily on city busses, there is a fortunate minority who own their own ‘‘wheels,”’ or who can borrow the family car. These select few often wake up in the early morning hours to leave in time to find adequate parking space. Once properly parked, they enter Classical’s corridors, leaving behind their steering wheels and ignitions. Inside the - school doors, students find themselves utilizing wheels of all sorts. In the realm of the art room, the potter’s wheel exudes aconstant, round rhythm — the sound of creativity forming pots and crocks. The cheerleaders, who may be artists, too, also use wheels in their thrice weekly practices. Along with other acrobatic tricks, they cartwheel their way through soccer, basketball, and football games, encouraging our teams to victory. All students at one time or another find themselves confronted by a true BIG WHEEL. If they have problems, they walk the corridors to the office of Mr. Peterson, who will be at his desk, ready to set their curves straight. All in all, wheels are vital parts of school throughout the daily routine. At long last, when it is 2:05, the busses, cars, and bikes gather up into the traffic and wheel away. | ae so x Each year, aclass of students graduates and another group takes their place. In this in-flow out-flow rhythm of high school, it is the teachers who add a necessary sense of permanence. Permanence does not suggest stagnation, however. The faculty is constantly learning and improving on their individual courses and the curriculum. Consequently, they are able to pass along to their students their sincere interests and enthusiasm in education. While students are the body of a school, it is the Miss Carolina Accorsi Mr. Russell Peterson — principal Miss Carolina Accorsi — language “Situated near the City Library, the different museums and Symphony Hall, Classical High School students have access to cultures of the past, the present, and the future.

Unfortunately, Classical High School’s college math sequence of courses is geared pri- marily toward preparing students for college level math work. Consumer mathematics, how- ever, is an elective which has practical applica- tions for life from which all students can benefit almost immediately.” Mr. Arthur Barnes Mrs. Jean Bogan | Mrs. Julia Bale— math “The math department has a new course which we call Consumer Math. I feel this course is of great use to students whose experience with math up to this point has had little to do with their future needs as citizens | and consumers.” Mr. Arthur Barnes — English “The inner city location of Classical is very advantageous. By being locat- ed in an area of the city where people congregate, the students become i i to many situations and peo- ple. Mrs. Jean Bogan — English “Classical should change with the needs of its students. The school is, after all, in business for the students, not the students forthe school.” Mrs. Barbara Bowen Mr. Francis Baran — science ‘A city is the result of the manner in which the people living in the city interact with one another; the stu- dents of Classical High School, hold the promise of a bright future for Springfield.” Mrs. Barbara Bowen — social studies “Here is where the entire metropoli- tan area has its focus. Once he has been taught to observe, the student directly experiences the real world. Here, too, he observes and experi- ences the rich variety of people: their different life-styles, nationality and ethnic groupings, and income levels, to name only a few characteristics.” Mrs. Ellen Barkhuff Mr. Harold Beaupre Sa Ae Mr. Henry Brady Mrs. Ellen Barkhuff — science Mr. Harold Beaupre — social studies “We have a great group of students, and they deserve the best education available.

One of the most important experi- ences a student can have is getting to know himself better and getting to know and understand people.” Mr. Archie Cataldi Miss Mary Corcoran —counselor “Helping young persons develop their individual potential in the ‘heart’ of the city requires optimum ‘spirit’ and complete ‘dedication’ of all staff members despite limited facilities.”” Mrs. Iris Danforth —social studies ‘Happiness is not the absence of con- flict but, rather, the ability to deal with conflict successfully.” Mr. William Conway Mrs. Iris Danforth Emphasis: Thirty-Five Years At Classical Mr. Howard Lynch has been serving the city as a Howard Lynch admits that he now teaches more Classical teacher for 35 years.

While he was teaching Modern Physics at the Science Department in 1947. That year he also the Evening Division at Western New England College, married a former Classical student. he had to catch up and keep up in recent scientific developments.

The student must learn what others have done and thought before he can make his ‘own thing’. And he has to be able to sell his idea.” ‘Another of our aims at Classical has been to fill the mental vacuum with those facts which will make a ‘good citizen.’ Courses in all schools have this bias. Our school motto has been: ‘Never do that which, if everybody did it, would destroy society. ’ To live up to this, one should not hurt anybody; this includes himself, his friends, and society in general. But our textbooks often identify ‘society’ with our free-enterprise business system and other free-world institutions. College students who admit their resentment to bias in education have demonstrated that their training has not deprived them of the ability to think. ... We like to take credit for the achievements of our graduates who exemplify the Classical tradition of serious purpose. This tradition is the continuing concern of our students, parents, teachers, and administrators.” Miss Ruth Dickerman Miss Ruth Dickerman — English Mrs. Susan Danton Mrs. Audrey Desrochers ‘The real purpose of education is to Mrs. Agnes Dinnie develop a trained, disciplined mind Mrs. Susan Danton —English Mrs. Audrey Desrochers — gym and to acquire an understanding Mrs. Agnes Dinnie — librarian heart.

I am currently teaching the Writing Workshop course and am most pleased with the results.” Miss Marilyn Freedman — math Emphasis: General Shop The General Shop course, open to eleventh and twelfth grade boys and girls, is basically an exploratory program. The students work at their own pace. Mr. Robert Donovan, the instructor of the course, explains, ‘‘We try to show students the general things related to practical domestic needs such as how to handle tools and how to purchase lumber.”’ Because the course is exploratory in nature, many areas of shop work are introduced. They consist of woodworking, sheetmetal and wrought iron work, and foundry and welding skills. The students strive to complete at least one project in the wood or metal field. Jim Lessard, a junior, worked on a special wood shop project. Using plans drawn up by Mr. Donovan and himself, Jim spent most of the autumn month building a full-sized desk. Jim doesn’t feel that his interest in woodworking will lead to a career. ‘I took shop because I like working with wood. It’s like a hobby. I chose to do the desk because I wanted to see if I could build it — it was a personal challenge.” The success of the shop course at a liberal arts school such as Classical can be easily explained. Mr. Donovan feels that the students view shop as an avocation. Also, students realize that they derive practical skills from the course. The aims of the General Shop course are successfully met. And each year, both male and female students have the chance to broaden their technical skills for personal satisfaction. Ms 0 - Mrs. Florence Hallbourg ¢ ‘ € : 4 ef Dr. Jeannette Harris Mss.

I am beginning to believe that ‘old’ courses, such as United States Histo- ry must be made more interesting and of more value to students and to teachers. Hence, why not incorporate new and vibrant ideas into an exist- ing course rather than continually beginning a ‘new’ course. So many of the ‘new’ courses are like shots in the arm that dilute themselves in the main stream of things and slowly lose strength.” Mr. Frances Girr Mr. Richard Guzowski Mr. Frances Girr — English Mr. Richard Guzowski — science “Classical’s downtown location pro- : vides it with an excellent laboratory | to study many urban environmental problems such as air, noise, and wa- ter pollution.” ! : FACULTY 15 16 Miss Jones Mr. Philip Hart — assistant principal “T feel that the fewer changes we make, the better we will be.” Mr. Clark Henderson —social studies. “A city is people. Unless we begin to serve people, they will never learn to serve others and things will truly get worse before they get better. Time is running out.” Mr. Armen Jermakian —math “Sometimes it is more important to hold onto traditional values than to keep pace with changing times. Change does not always mean to the better, and those qualities that once made Classical an outstanding school for so long, should be maintained and not relinquished without a struggle.” Miss Velma Jordan Miss Jones — clerk Miss Velma Jordan — home economics “T have found some students’ atti- tudes to be more positive. Students are more willing to attempt tasks even though sometimes they may not be able to solve these tasks.’’ Mrs. Ruby Kelly — gym Mr. Robert Keough — math Mrs. Mary Kopy — clerk Mr. Euclid Lague — language “’T feel that it will require unusual and sometimes difficult effort to meet the needs of the students, from those who will begin a career immediately after graduation to those academical- ly gifted students who are preparing themselves to attend selective col- leges.”” su | Pee etme se : US 34 a= Mrs. Mary Kopy Mr. Euclid Lague This year an increasing number of students at Classical participated in the computer program. The elective computer course is taught by Mr. Sullivan. His room is equipped with three terminals, which are connected with the computer at the central office of the School Department, located at 195 State Street. Mr. Sullivan feels that the course helps to teach the student the logical steps involved in problem solving. To solve a problem, he must program it step by step. The computer program is related generally to math and science studies. Another course, Consumer Math, taught by Mrs. Bale, chairman of the math department, interest in finance rates. The terminals, in addition, are used by students to do their chemistry and physics homework. At present, there are a limited number of portable terminals which can be taken home. Mr. Sullivan holds the hope, that in the near future, more of these terminals will be obtained. Tracing the terminals to their source, we find the computer room on the second floor of the School Department. It is here that Mr. Halloran, math coordinator for Springfield, works as the manager of the computer system, which is Mrs. Helen Landry Mr. Francis Lamoureaux Mrs. Helen Landry —language Mr. Francis Lamoureaux — science “As we are catapulted into time of increasing violence, we continue to be battered by a se- ries of outrage which threatens not only our individual free- doms, but which erode and weaken the very political sys- tem that defines our liberty.”’ Emphasis: The Computer utilizes the computer to find the time rate of specifically designed for students’ use, and students are actively involved in running the computer system. Kevin McCabe, a student system operator, explains how he first became involved in computers. ‘’I was always interested in math, since it is sucha practical subject. The computer was just a practical application for work in math. Because of the computer, I became more involved in math. The computer helps me with math, and inversely, math helps me with the computer.” Mrs. Creanza, Mrs. Basile, Mrs. Mossi, Mrs. Latham FACULTY 17 18 Mr. Raymond Lussier Mr. Stephen LeClair — social studies Mr. Michael Ligarski — math Mr. Edward Lundrigan — science “In the field of Conservation, the ideal location to build a new school is in an area adjacent to a park or forest reserve because it offers the oppor- tunity for an ‘open classroom’ situa- tion for all the sciences. At Classical, however, we do have a unique loca- tion in one respect because our ‘open campus’ policy allows students inter- ested in economics and the social sci- ences to pursue their interests. Per- haps the future will provide a new Classical High School that meets both of these requirements.” Mr. Raymond Lussier — language Mr. Howard Lynch — science Mr. Howard Lynch Mr. David Macomber — language ‘“ Because a general education here fails to train a student in the neces- sary skill of a trade, and because it is increasingly difficult for teen-agers to break into the tight job market, we must either upgrade the general pro- gram or provide some coordination with the other specialized high schools.” Mr. Arnold Matz — language “Tt is the student body that makes up the school and not the edifice. The building is a stationary object, which does not make any progress, whereas the students are involved in a contin- uous change.” Miss Ann McCarthy — English Miss Mary McCarthy — language “For every language that a man learns, he multiplies his individual nature and brings himself nearer to the general collective mind of Man.” om Mr. Edward Lundrigan Mr. Arnold Matz Miss Ann McCarthy Miss Mary McCarthy Mr. Baron McDuffee Emphasis: New Language Offerings The entire language program has a new look this year. Three new courses have been added to the French curriculum. The purchase of a new recording lab has enhanced the entire department and language labs complement teaching methods. Mr. David Douglas, language department chairman, views the lab facility as a valuable learning tool which enables the student not only to listen to himself, but also to his classmates. An important feature of utilizing the recording apparatus is that it changes the pace of instruction to maintain student interest in the courses. The new lab facilities are important, of course, but even more interesting to students is the broader range of course offerings initiated this year. The class work in French Conversation involves small-group projects and many in-class discussions. Probably the most important aspect of this course is that the student is exposed to a total French-speaking environment. French Writing, the semester course created to complement the Conversation course, concentrates on the structure of French writing. Towards the end of the course, the students are involved in independent creative writing. Both instructors of the courses, Mr. David Douglas and Mrs. Nancy Duffy, feel that the new courses’ purpose, to increase the student’s skills in French expression, is being fulfilled. Mr. Daniel Meder Although most of the language department’s programs received enthusiastic support, Mr. Douglas was surprised at the limited student interest in the proposed Spanish Conversation and Writing courses, neither of which made it beyond the planning stage. The lack of interest in Spanish seems odd since Springfield is an urban area with a significant Spanish-speaking minority; proficiency in Spanish is a practical skill for any Springfield native involved in education or the social services. The new courses and lab facilities have given the language program a welcome boost. The enthusiasm of these developments is shared by the students and the teachers alike. The new offerings serve as an example that the work of teachers for innovations in curriculum, along with the support of students, can lead to a progressively better program.

The student’s goal is to learn how to check and verify a line of reasoning. The theory of mathematical logic is introduced into the course to serve as acomplement to the as pects of logical reasoning. In general, students like the course because it is different and relevant. A. Marc Soukiasian feels that the course is ‘difficult yet interesting. At times the concepts seem confusing, but the problem eventually clears up. Semantics and Logic is actually a course in psychology that deals with the logical mind in the process of communicating with others.” Mrs. Olmeda — clerk Mr. Richard Pare — math Mrs. Olmeda Mr. Richard Pare FACULTY 21 Mr. Allan Peck Miss Lorraine Plasse Mr. Allan Peck — math “Who says we don’t have any fun here?”’ Mr. Richard Pervonga — English Mr. James Phaneuf — math Mrs. Laurie Pieterse — English Miss Lorraine Plasse — English “Tf the idea of an ‘inner city school’ scares some people, it is obvious that they don’t know about Classical, where the problems of going to school in a city are most often offset by the unique benefits of our envi- ronment.” Mr. Richard Pervonga Mr. James Podworski — English Mrs. Erline Provost — science “Our students will hopefully grow into adults who will be more tolerant of the diversity among people, and who will appreciate the city and try to renew and preserve this heritage.” Miss Teresa Regina — English “The city, built by many, offers the student a record of his personal and national history.

According to Miss Isabelle Brown and Mrs. Agnes Dinnie, the school librarians, it is the relaxed atmos phere and the new open space whi ch has attracted so many students. The enlarged library now offers carpeted floors, small round tables, and student conference booths offering privacy for tutoring and special group projects. The facilities also include audio-visual aids. Cassette and tape recorders are available so that students can make use of the literary cassettes and tapes stacked in the library. Records and film strip are also provided for student use. A special display section is used to exhibit such things as old Classical yearbooks, sports books, and student works.

Mr. Robert Stevens Mr. David Stratton Emphasis: New Science Labs Over the course of years, the Science facilities at Classical have been in gradual decline. According to Mrs. Fiorentino, last year’s labs were crowded. “The entire class had to gather around one table to use the electrical outlets for experiments with the electric microscope. ”’ This year, however, Classical has installed new Biology labs. The labs are located in Mrs. Fiorentino’s room, 328, and in Mr. Baran’s room, 330. Both teachers agree that the new science labs are a definite imporvement over the old ones. The major benefit of the new labs is the addition of the lab tables, which provide more working space for the students during activity periods. The lab rooms also have been fitted with new lighting fixtures, illuminated blackboards to increase visibility during classroom work, and new sinks for use during lab work. Lynn Lamothe, a Biology student utilizing the labs, appreciates the new sinks. Her opinion is that, ‘‘The sinks are quite an improvement over last year’s water buckets. The clean-up of equipment is so much more ef ficient 47 now. Mrs. Gale Sullivan Ree ema We Many new electric outlets have been installed in order that lab equipment received last year can be used with greater efficiency. In the opinion of biology student Lisa Kellogg, “The lab tables provide greater room for microscope labs, and the outlets allow each table to use an electric misroscope.”’ It is obvious that these new facilities provide Manlonnisnecney better learning conditions for the student.

Those participating at Classical were students of advanced art classes. Mrs. Schoppe, who is involved with the projects, describes them as ‘‘super graphics painted on ply wood.’’ When asked about the creative process, Mrs. Schoppe explained, ‘First the students had to select a topic associated with an event which took place in Springfield during the 20th century. Next they researched their project and compiled a group of ideas. Then the scene was drawn on a plywood panel painted with latex paint to make it weather resistant.’ In January, these panels were attached to the fence surrounding the Court Square construction site. Passers-by could, then, view some of the numerous events which have taken place in Springfield in the past 200 years. A great variety of subject matter was presented with drawings ranging from the Basketball Hall of Fame, to the changes in fashions, to the progression of architectural design over the last hundred years. Other panels depict the various city mayors and other notable personalities of the 20th century. Mrs. Shoppe commented that, generally, the students in Art I were enthusiastic and the ninth grade classes were smaller. But they worked together better than in the past. The ninth graders were exposed to a general survey of the different types of art. Some of the projects were relief printing, paper-mache, lettering, and poster making. The hope is that this gave the students more knowledge of the art courses available at Classical. Mr. Albert Zavala he de AEs = ® Mr. William Young Mr. James Wilkie — counselor One of the biggest needs of Classi- cal is a new building so that we can better equip all of our major depart- ment areas such as science labs and foreign language labs.” Mrs. Doris Wuraftic — English “Teaching in or attending an inner city school offers all of us a rare op- portunity to grow and to become aware of values and ideas other than those which immediately surround our otherwise limited lives.’ Mr. Neil Yesu — assistant principal “Change for the sake of change is not a motivating factor; change reflects the honest and sincere needs of stu- dents as perceived through the evalu- ation of basic educational precepts.” Mr. William Young — social studies Mr. Albert Zavala — social studies “The curriculum in Classical is var- ied, flexible, vast, and not stagnant. A high sounding new course. . . is not a guarantee of success. We need a keenly involved, highly articulate student majority.’ FACULTY 27 i Ae The most important thing in life is being able to make contact, to commu- nicate, with another person. As stu- dents, we communicate in many differ- ent ways. The most common form of communication is speech. It is not surprising when a person can talk, but it may surprise you to find out that six percent of the student body claims to speak a second language in their homes. These languages include: French, Spanish, German, Italian, Rus- sian, Polish, and Greek. Other, less common languages that students speak. at home are Portuguese, Armenian, He- brew, Dutch, Arabic, Yiddish, Ukrain- ian, and Lithuanian. There are also quite a few foreign born students in our school, some for whom English is a second language. They are from al- most every area in the world: South America, Central America, The Virgin Islands, The West Indies, Europe, Far East, Middle East, Africa, and Canada. When encouraged by teachers to tell us about life in their native lands, these immigrants add cultural enrich- ment to our classes. Speech is not our only form of communication, how- ever. We are also dependent on the written word. The various organiza- tions at Classical constantly post signs on every possible door and win- dow that their members might see. We read signs that invite us to partici- pate in school activities. “Buy S.T.” or “Join the Senate” some cry, while others urge us to contribute to the Scribe tag sale or the Red Cross Blood Bank. | Traffic and street signs, found out- side of our school, are also impor- tant to read. They regulate and di- rect traffic in order to protect us - from accidents. These signs range from the hexagonal “stop” sign to the increasing number of signs that warn us of ‘Construction Ahead.”’ Graffiti is another way to communi- cate ideas. It is everywhere—chalked on boards, scratched on desks, and drawn on walls. It is obvious that some creative people feel compelled to share their ideas with the public and advertise anything from their po- litical opinions to their favorite sayings. STUD ENT _—_-—-_—-aA ws -COMMUNICATION 29° This section is for the enjoyment of all those who skim through these pages, but it is dedicated to the class of ’75. It is a reminder of the days that belong solely to seniors. In ten years, you will take out Volume 54, BLUE WHITE ’75, dust off the cover and go back to the carefree days of your youth. ‘Look at him; he was the most handsome boy in our class.” ““I remember this girl; she was on so many committees, she was never in class.’ Comments such as these will you make when you come across the pictures of past schoolmates. Reading the stories, will bring to mind the peculiarities and particulars of being a 1975 graduate of Classical High School. We hope that every senior can find a part of himself in these pages.

With the constant help and guidance of Mr. Yesu, the class advisors, Ms. Weissbrod’s homeroom, and the entire senior class, we feel that we have succeeded. Many jobs were specified for us last September. We had responsibilities to meet and we met them, hopefully to the satis- faction of the senior class. We have tried to be creative in developing new and different class experiences. We've made mistakes, learned through guidance how to correct them, and hope we have paved a positive path for the senior class of 1976. We hope you feel we’ve succeeded in doing our jobs well.

SENIORS 33 34 W-W-Warm Up One day, long ago back in tenth grade, the brilliant idea of a coffee house was brought up by, then sophomores, Renee Baribeau and Ron Williams. It was to be sponsored by the class of ‘75’ with the profits to be used for our prom and banquet. Much planning and working was done and soon after Christmas of the following year, the coffee house became a reality. Hope Lajeunese and Carol Shirley were mainly responsible for the continuance of the coffee house during our junior year aided by the help of anumber of volunteers. As seniors, we progressed to the special Coffee House Homeroom and also an additional coffee house in the annex which makes it so convenient for seniors with homerooms in the annex. A visit to either coffee house is a great way to start the day, especially on acold morning when you need a warm drink to get going. Or perhaps you’ve been up studying all night and need that morning coffee. Or maybe you just want to “munch out” on doughnuts.

However, driving to school brings about the problem of finding a parking space. Where can a senior park without paying a fee, without getting a ticket, or without finding his car towed? Since our school is in the center of the city, there are no adequate parking spaces for our students. When trying to park their cars, the students find themselves in competition with bus- inessmen from the downtown area and employees of the school department. Classical seniors who drive to school are very concerned about the problem as the following comments demonstrate: “The city should have bought the lot next to Classical when it was up for sale and given it to Classical and Tech Students.” “With acar you should be able to leave to school later, but to find a parking space, you have to leave for school earlier.” y oa William Cokotis 39 Fair Haven Dr. Band St. George Olympians Drum Bugle Corps Christopher Cokkinias Nancy Colby 214 Savoy Ave. Biology Club, Stage Band, Tennis Medical Explorers Alfonso Condino 70 Orange St. Mark Cross 113 Canton St. SENIORS 37 38 Joseph DeGray 292 Hermitage Dr. Jeffrey Diaz 992 Berkshire Ave. Philip DeLiefde Gary De Maio Kathleen DeSantis Edward DelPosso 251 Nottingham St. 256 El Paso St. 1280 Plumtree Rd. 69 Jenness St. Baseball, Softball Chorus, Girls’ Patrol, Gym- Blue White, nastics, Volleyball School Com.

Their participation in city wide and neighborhood activities reflects the bond between the school and city. Over the summer three of Classical’s senior girls, Kim White, Karen Wallace, and Patty Holmes, entered the Miss Black Harambee Contest. The contest is a part of The Annual Black Harambee Home Comming Festival. All the contestants were deserving, but Kim White and Karen Wallace were chief among the winners. Karen Wallace became Miss Figure, as well as first runner-up in the main event. She received a trophy and various prizes Kim White won the title of Miss Poise. She also won The Miss Popularity Contest and the title of “Miss Black Harambee”’ of 1974.

It should provide a new intellectual stimulus. Learning should be in the form of knowledge and understanding — inside the classroom and out. College gives students the right as well as the obligation to test, to ask, to create, and to explore. Many students are not sure if college will satisfy their desires. Others who are sure college is what they want are uncertain as to which college is right for them. Decisions. Decisions. Most people agree that the quality of education is the most important as pect of any college. Still, students make a final decision about college after measuring by other standards as well. “T’ve got a particular college in mind. It’s a small, liberal-arts college. There’s a 3:1 ratio of guys to girls. The school is far away. Distance from home is no problem. If any school around here had these characteristics, I would have considered it.”’ “A school with a high Jewish population is right for me. It can’t be too far away because that costs too much. For me, the smaller the college the better. I don’t want to become a number on computer files.” “More school doesn’t really interest me. But to get a job as anurse, you must have training. Maybe, I'll work for a while. Then I'll go back to school.” “I’m sick of life in the city. I want to go to a college with a quiet environment. But, the school can’t be too small. I like variety. College enables a person to make good money. College can be expensive. I want to go to school near here; it’s cheaper. Also, I want to be near my friends and family.” Deciding on college as the next step and choosing the right one is the biggest problem, most people face in the last months of high school.

It seems that most seniors just use the time to relax and unwind from the pressures of school. They hang around the front steps, go to the Waterwheel or MacDonald’s, or take a walk downtown to the civic center to pick up tickets for the latest concert or to Johnson’s Book Store to buy a des peratly needed Monarch Notes. After much probing we finally learned that some people do use the time for study or school projects. Research is done in the city library, people often do last minute studying in the cafeteria, while others find themselves in the art rooms working on projects. We were lucky to capture a few of these rare and precious moments. But no matter how we are using or abusing our free time, it is important to know that, as a whole, we are creating a good year for ourselves with smiling faces.

When this freedom is combined with guidance and criticism, the results can be fantastic. Evidence of such a result is gained from looking at Richard Murnane’s art work; it is obvious that he has a sharp eye and enjoys looking at the lighter side of life. Much of Richard’s work is excellent satire, and his work is a welcome change from much of the more serious points-of— view expressed in art. Halbert Swan, another artist, said he liked drawing because it’s relaxing and fun. He also said it is his main career interest at the present. Both artists like pencil because it’s the artist’s greatest defense against “the flaw.” Ink, paints, and pen can be added later for color, depth, and dimension. Regardless of method, Classical’s artists are first rate and support the old saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words.”’ SENIORS 45 Pamela Jenkins Anthony Jiles Kenneth Jimerson Barbara Johnson Marcia Kaczowka 14 Hawley St. 115 Albemarle St. : 99 Walsh St. 370 Forest Hills Rd. 12 Frontenac St., I.O.

New Responsibilities As the seniors approach their final weeks at Classical, most, if not all, will have reached age eighteen. Age eighteen is definately a momentous point in their lives. After age eighteen there are no longer legal restrictions due to age, with the exception of holding higher political offices and gambling. Drinking, marriage and voting are legally within their realm. A great deal of thought, consideration, and discretion must be excercised with regards to their new responsibilities. Before age eighteen, decisions were made for them. Perhaps one of the most important acquisitions is the right to vote. At age eighteen citizens have a say in their government. They have the power to right the wrongs. Anyone who criticizes ‘‘the system” and is not registered to vote or is and does not vote has no right to complain. Even though the voter is just an individual, he can still affect the direction of his community, his state, and, ultimately, his world.

Foreign Schools Foreign students can assess Classical from a different point of view than can students who have always attended American schools. Discussions with these foreign students suggest that the most outstanding difference is the fact that the American student has a liberal hand in deciding his own future. In contrast, the schools in foreign lands have prescribed courses which the student must follow according to his achievements and grades. A course in religion is a requirement in most countries. We have learned from Carmella Manzi that there is no need for an American style counselor in the schools of Italy. In most areas the principal is acquainted with all of his students, and he helps them with personal problems. As a sign of respect to his position, students in Italy immediately stand when a principal enters the room. In an interpreted statement by Asdidade Arenales, it was learned that the same form of respect is practiced in Guatemala. Guidance in selecting a college is usually unnecessary because most students finish school when they graduate from eighth grade. Rita Case, who has lived in Jamaica, states that there the grade a student earns on a final exam is his grade for the year. Anna Campobello, from Italy, tells us that the same principle is followed in many Italian schools. According to Angel Mardirossian, in Iraq students go to school every day but Friday, which is the religious sabbath, and there are separate schools for boys and girls. School in Italy and Iraq is three to four hours long. As with everything else, there are advantages and disadvantages to going to school in America. The American student would seem to have many more choices as to vocation and study. However, he is required to have many more hours of schooling than his foreign counterpart.

Due to the reorganization of the busing schedules, the city was forced to use the yellow buses for transportation of high school students. Traditionally, these buses were reserved for younger children. After a few days in use, students had an abundance of opinions. One girl stated that, ‘they are lemons, as their color implies.’’ Some major grievances are that the aisles are too narrow and “’ people are packed in like sardines.”’ Students feel there is also a great lack of things to hold onto. Having lower ceilings than the green buses and altogether smaller space, the yellow buses seem to create a feeling of claustrophobia for some people. Another dissatisfaction towards the buses is the ride one gets. It is a great deal bumpier and the yellow buses do not have the smooth starts of the green ones. The general consensus seems to be unfavorable. Students feel the buses should be given to the elementary students where the size of the bus is more in proportion to the size of the passenger. As always, there are neutral people: one girl put it, ‘“a bus is a bus.’’ However, her attitude might be biased a bit since yellow is her favorite color! | John Magnani 49 Dwight Rd.

Should I continue on to college or acquire a vocational skill?” During the fall of 1974, Skills For The 70’s, an orientation program, was held in the civic center. The purpose of this program was to enable students of Springfield and suburban high schools to learn about occupational opportunities in the greater Springfield area. The fields represented at Skills for the 70's were medicine, tourism, armed forces, industry, higher education, automotive technology, public utilities, communications, and retailing. Hopefully, the exhibits provided at least some of the students who attended fresh ideas and direction in preparing for their futures.

Their participation is in the form of jobs, volunteer work, and, just generally, getting into the activities the city and school has to offer. Richard Russel, Julian Schmoke, Kenneth Jimerson, Ronald Williams, and Alan May are a few examples of seniors who have been very active in sports. Julian Schmoke played both basketball and football for Classical for 3 years. The track coach said Ron is the best hurdler in Western Mass. He has been accepted at Holy Cross College. Richard Russel has been a basketball and football manager for 2 years. Quintin Fowlkes, the present Afro-American club president, sings in the choir and works at one of the neighborhood hospitals after school. Cleonia Shaver has been a member of the Afro- American club for 2 years. This year she has been elected Treasurer of the club. She is also a “Big Sister’ at the Dunbar Community center. These few outstanding black seniors, along with many others, possess the qualities that make them senior standouts. They are willing to offer their talents to serve the school and the community.

The tutors may operate either inside or outside the school. Students many times find it easier to learn from people closer to their own age. The tutors can incorporate their own imaginative and interesting ideas into their lesson plans. Tutors can also be helpful to people who just want to learn more about a particular area. Everything from extra help with grammar to math seminars are handled by Classical students. The tutors can themselves learn a great deal, especially if they plan to ready themselves for a career in teaching or any other field that includes dealing with people. Both teacher and student seem to profit from the tutoring experience. Two seniors who give their time tutoring are William Strzempek, lead trumpet in the band, stage band and orchestra, and Chris Cokkinias, a saxaphonist in the stage band and clarinetist in the orchestra. Both boys go to elementary schools to help the younger students with their studies in music.

Commuting Classical High School faces the problem of crowded conditions. This problem has been present for the last four years. The growth in the number of students has forced the senior class to occupy the annex, which was formerly the police dept. building. During the course of the school day, the seniors commute from the annex to the main building. Some of the underclassmen, in turn, migrate to the annex to make room for the incoming seniors. Like mailmen, the students must go to and from the annex through rain and sun, sleet and snow! This constant traveling from building to building is obviously a great inconvenience; but, perhaps, it prepares the soon to graduate senior for the day to day commuting that their parents and others ‘‘on the outside” are already used to. Daily trips across State Street create alot of problems but also offer some pleasures to students and teachers. The biggest problem for teachers is having to cope with kids’ arriving for class late. The kids, on the other hand, enjoy the opportunity the annex gives them to be late. Commuting also gives the students a break between classes, and allows them to stretch their legs while enjoying a short walk on asunny day. beniors have a variety of opinions on the annex situation. “’] like it, you get to see who is out here.”” Another notes, however, ‘When it rains you look like a fool going back and forth in the rain.” “It’s better than over crowding, but dangerous when you have to cross State Street.” ““When you’re in school you can’t scream, but on the way to the annex I can run and scream and try to beat the cars.

Instead of getting up right away, he will lie in bed with his ear glued to the radio, hoping to hear that school has been canceled. If the snow storm was not bad enough to close the schools, whoever decides to get out of bed to go through the slush and snow will make the best of the school day. The seniors can really take advan- tage of the day by using open campus time to build a giant snowman. After all that relaxation and “’ playing in the snow, they might even be tempted to throw a snowball or two, but of course they don’t! This year the class of “75 spent their last winter at Classical. The graduates are a little like the snow that fell during the winter semesters. As each snow flake has its own unique size and shape, each student at Classical has his own personality. As the sun warms the earth, the snow disappears, and all that is left is the memory of what snow is like. So it is with the seniors; as time goes by, they leave high school, wit’ ae but they will always have the ae ice a. ie John Tassinari memones Cars eke _ et “ea Be: ‘ 109 Loretta St. : ag A.V.A., Crew, Soccer of what it was like.

A New Journey Begins This year, The Blue White staff interviewed many seniors about leaving Classical. Their reactions ranged from anxiousness to be leaving Classical to sadness at leaving old friends. The following responses represent, generally, the attitudes of the class of LOZor ‘‘T’ve made many new friends this year that it took me all three years to meet, and it will be sad to leave them. However, as I go on to college and my career, I will never forget the ones I’ve met.” ‘I’m going to miss Classical. I don’t want to leave the security of Classical.” ‘I’m really looking forward to leaving Classical. If I honestly thought that my high school years were my best I'd kill myself. There are too many restrictions here.”’ ‘Any sentiment that I would have over leaving Classical is overshadowed by my hopes for the future. People really should live for the present, not fill it up with memories from the past or plans for the future. Unfortunately, our society pushes the future into the present of every senior’s life, so I am forced to plan my future. As it happens, the reasons I am not sentimental over leaving Classical are the result of these plans. I am anxious to leave high school, to get away from the red tape, rules, restrictions, the structure. I am looking forward to more independence and freedom. To me, some colleges of fer these ideals in their educational system and life styles.” ‘Of course, it is sad to leave Classical ... Yet, it is inevitable and necessary that we must graduate and leave. So, the only thing to do is to go onward, with fond memories and friendships from Classical and ready ourselves for the grueling, but life-shaping years at college.” Judy Vogel Linda Vumbaco Carol Wajdula 81 Anniversary St. 92 Pidgeon Dr. 596 Parker St. Rosemarie Toms 587 Dickinson St. Leon Traynham 186 Northampton Ave. Afro-Am., Student Gov't.

As a group they have shown a responsibility to duty, social awareness, and an aggressive attitude toward solving problems. Many changes and developments at Classical can be attributed to their leadership. The establishment of a morning coffee house served to provide both a place of social gathering for the school and a new source of income for the class. They sponsored highly successul flower sales for worthy causes. Their successful effort to eliminate the separate girls’ and boys’ staircases showed the class’ striving for sexual equality. The group demonstrated cultural awareness by donating time to sell season tickets to Stage West. The dances and social functions held by the class reflected a sense of good judgment and decorum. The academic achievements of the class are many and were publicly dis played on “’ As Schools Match Wits.” I can only hope that the fine qualities demonstrated by the class these past three years will be carried with them through life.

The enjoyment of it, however, seems to diminish a bit as the years roll on. Some of Classical’s juniors explain a few of the good and bad things about this school and their junior year. ‘‘I’ve more opportunities to do more things in my junior year than I did last year, and it’s one more step up the ladder of success. It’s been my best year so far.” ‘My junior year is terrible! I think life would be a lot easier without all the books, teachers, and classes.”’ ‘‘The part I like best about my junior year is that you get to pick, choose, and refuse. Everything in Classical is an extreme; they’re either terrific or awful.”’ ‘My junior year has been fantastic. In fact, I love school as long as I don’t have to dissect any frogs. After all, it’s something to do.” ‘“The eleventh grade is the best, but it could be better. For one thing there sure are some foxy girls around. I only wish I had more free time to check ‘em all out.” Advisors And Officers 1. Junior Class Advisors: Mr. Baron, Mrs. Bar- khuff, Dr. Harris, Mr. Nodurf. Various Ju- niors: 2.

ROOM 219 ry ROOM 222 Term Paper Blues Term papers seem to be the major problem and worry of all of Classical’s juniors. Some dread the thought of them, some live with them, and others actually like them. Constant revising and rewriting, footnotes, quotes, and continual library visits are only a few of the problems that plague juniors. Here are some comments made by students about term papers: ‘’Term Paper! What's that?” “Whenever I hear the words ‘term paper,’ I am immediately filled with dread and distaste. If there’s one ailment I dislike it’s definitely writer’s cramps due to hours of preparing a 15 page term paper.” ‘“Term papers are okay, once you get used to them. When you write one the rest seem easier and everything falls into place.” “The way I figure it, if ] can survive term papers, I can survive anything!”’ ‘’The person who thought up term papers should be shot. They’re unnecessary since you don’t get nothing from them but nervous exhaustion. Why should we suffer just because some bright-eyed wonder liked writing reports and decided everyone else did too? Well, I for one know he’s dead wrong!” ‘“Term papers aren’t as bad as they're made out to be. In fact, I enjoy them when I like what I’m writing about.” ‘The worse time for me is the night hefore the term paper is due. That’s when | suddenly realize my report is nowhere near finished and all the libraries are closed.” “Term papers are OK, if you have to do them to get your grades, but I think I can do without them. They’re a pain!”’ ‘There’s got to be a better way. Why not just cut out the term papers and give us all A’s!”’ JUNIORS 81 82 ROOM 224 ROOM 224.

JUNIORS 85 86 The sophomore class entered Classical with mixed feelings this year. Some students like this large, spacious building: “I like this old school, it really has a lot of character to it.’’ Other students would rather be at their old junior highs, where they were the oldest: ‘I hate being the low guy on the totem pole; there is not enough freedom for us.’ Some students do not really care one way or the other about their future at classical: “I wanted to go to Tech, but my mother made me go here.”” Another student grumbles, ‘’I feel like anumber here. I’ve got a homeroom number, a locker number, a gym locker number, etc.’’ Most students, however, like it here and want to get involved in activities: ‘“There are alot more activities and sports to get involved in.’’ Another student comments that Classical is a better place for him because: ‘Kids are more mature, and come to school to really learn and not just fool around.”’ Advisors And Officers 1.

After a few weeks, though, everyone is familiar with the surroundings and realizes that it is the people and not the building itself that make the school. CHESTNUT “This place is no big shock from junior high. I feel a sense of tradition here; my mother and father went here, my great-great grandparents probably went here too.” DUGGAN “Duggan was built on a dump and Classical is a dump!”’ FOREST PARK “Really there’s no big difference. They’re both old and falling apart, I’ve always gone to ancient schools.” KENNEDY It’s really not that bad, but I miss the pool.” KILEY ‘I really prefer this building over Kiley. Old buildings have more style and are made of stronger material.”’ VAN SICKLE ‘Well, at least the desks are new.”’ SOPHOMORES 97 98 ROOM 328.

SOPHOMORES 99 100 Although they are the youngest students in the school and have been here only since last fall, many ninth graders have formed their opinions about their school. When asked what they thought of the school, the freshmen replied: ‘The teachers are good because they explain things well.”’ ““This is the best school in the city to go to, and it’s old and likeable.” ‘I came here because I went to Classical Junior High, and all of my friends are here.” ‘‘I came here because! want to go to college and ’ “The kids here are more mature than in junior high.’’ When asked if given the chance to transfer to another school would they leave, the unanimous answer was, “No” be a lawyer. on i4 ‘ t i: : ROOM 112 1.

Central (Classical) was to move from School Street to‘, strissey and Shea, local builders, were contracted to clear the ground. the cornerstone was laid and school opened in 1898. The public inspect ited what was recognized ‘‘as the finest structure of its kind in the United ‘ ield: pay Géotes Walter Vincent Smith Museum opened — Duryea car set world feted of 25 m.p. h. — Major archeological dig, evidence of Indians. The Harvard Trophy wa s given to Classical for its ‘distinction in scholarship.” It was first offered in 1914, by the Harvard chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, for scholastic competi- tion. Central won it in 1915, 1920, and 1923. In 1924, Central was given the award per- manently. Central was the only public school among the winners, and the only school to win more than twice. | At this hime in Springfield: — First Rolls Royce made outside of England was made here — Forest Park BPCDee — WBZ, Springfield’s first radio station opened. Above the main entrance of Classical the words ‘‘High School” are carved in stone. They are a reminder of the days when it was the only high school in the city. In 1934 it was decided the the old high school be given a more relevant name. Classical means ‘‘of or pertainting to a work of the first rank in literature or art.’’ Since the high school’s - curriculum was based on the study of liberal arts, the school board put two and two to- gether, and Central became known as Classical High School. At this time in Springfield: — Worst blizzard since 1888 — Flood, 28.6 feet above water level — Earthquake. In the 1940’s, seniors could still graduate either in January or June. There was a class of 1943% and aclass of 1944. The 1943 class ballot included the seniors’ favorite branch of the service; the Waves and Navy Air Corps were elected. On each page of the senior section is an American flag and many of the boys have indicated the branch of the serv- ice rather than the name of acollege they would head for after graduation. At this time in Springfield: — Buses replace electric street cars — FBI agents seize gun in thehomes of aliens — First concert of Springfield Symphony Orchestra. The 1950’s were times of academic excellence, but students had few academic choices. Standard offerings ‘such as language, math, science and English were required with only one or two electives in any single area. However, courses that are no longer emphasized _ today were quite popular then, such as Greek and Latin. At this time in Springfield:— Springfield was elected for Basketball Hall of Fame — International YMCA Col- lege became Springfield College — Springfield ranked sixth in population among American cities. In the late 60’s Classical prepared for its regular evaluation by the New England Asso- ciation of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Self-evaluation precedes the team who comes to investigate, and Classical set itself some new and high goals for the future. Courses, facilities, and student participation became targets for improvement. As a re- sult of evaluation, changes were initiated or intensified and in contrast to the offerings of the 50’s, the 60’s and 70’s brought about a much wider variety of academic courses. Today there is a rapidly increasing involvement of students in the administration of the school. We have such organizations as the Student-Faculty Committee and student ad- visors of the principal. At this time in Springfield: Bus fare raised to 25¢ — Baystate West project announced — Eastfield Mall opened — Buses stop running on Sundays and holidays — Civic Center opens — Gas shortage — the future of Classical poe debated. 1'— Stevens-Duryea Pathfinder, 1911 Glidden Tour; Springfield April 27, AAA Officials in the car. 2 — State Street at Main, flood of 1936. 3 — Classical, a very long time ago. 4 — Books- tore building, the new home of Johnson's Bookstore. 5 — Early downtown Springfield. 6 — Classical as a refugee center during the flood of ‘36. 7 — Alligators at Forest Park. 104 Ohne hE = | | — Ez 7 a 7 7) rad Eee pet! ——a aes bith di ik Tk i ; 7 a Bae ease ioe ae i CSU is alee leas SE Bak ole he are 3 a4 carrer ca 5 OMSL Lt = JONNSONS KHOKSTORE I i 178 HIS™ ORY 105 106 As in any other place, things can get sticky at Classical. Stickiness can come in various forms, and it is one of the traits people are concerned with when they make their selections at the candy machine or in the lunch line. Although the gooeyness is good, it can be bothersome. Some teachers feel gum chewers are a distraction to them when they are trying to teach a class. Constantly having to remove gum from desks left there by a minority of inconsiderate students, teachers tend to get aggravated and are forced to impose restrictions. ° If astudent is caught, the gum magically disappears but often reappears on someone else’s clothes or shoes. Students may even find their chemistry and English books inseparably bound together. However, the majority of students, who are more considerate, can control themselves and most teachers really don’t mind a little subtle chewing. Although stickiness is a good characteristic, and it makes the food you're eating a little more enjoyable, it does have its faults. One doesn’t quite know how to clean up. It can get to be a real mess. After a while, some people just forget their manners. For many students, gum chewing is a relaxing way to go through the day. But instead of just throwing away the wrappers, Classical students once more showed their creativity and enthusiasm for gum when they wove a six and one half foot chain from a variety of wrappers. The mid- period lines at the candy machine surely shows the students’ fondness for all types of gooey things. Perhaps this buying makes Classical’s students a little sweeter than other people! shy Health Food ' A healthful alternative to the candy and sweet situation at Classical is to acquire a vegetarian way of life. Vegetarians have a life style that excludes meat as a source of food. There are some students who have already established this way of life. Interviewing one such vegetarian, _ Timothy Bascomb, Blue White found out why vegetarian living is a “better way.”’ He has chosen to forsake meat because he finds the slaughter of animals for food senseless. When asked what he does eat, Tim cited cheese, bread, grain, natural cereals, milk and fruit. STICKY 107 xy XXX? ee Otte ii rt ‘VV A Fifties Revived One of the most successful events of Student Government this school year was Greaser Day. In November of 1974, certain ‘“‘courageous”’ students dressed in the style of teens in the late 50’s and early 60’s. They donned bob- by-socks, skirts below the knee, leath- er jackets, straight legged pants, ca- melhair coats, and greased hair. The dance held later that evening in the gym was a huge success. The mu- sic was provided by ‘Aaron Mark,” a local disc-jockey, included records of the by-gone era. When various students were asked why they participated in this event, the response was as follows: ‘Most of my friends were dressing up for Greaser Day,” stated Mimi Glea- son, ‘so they wanted me to do so too, so I did. I felt rather dumb when ev- eryone kept staring at me, but then | realized that there were others who looked worse than me. I had a g reat time and lots of laughs.” Dorothy Fusaro replies, ‘I felt it would be different and wild in a new get-up; I enjoyed myself immensely.” ‘““Greaser Day was quite different than coming to school any other day of the year,’ remarks Ellen Humphrey. At the close of this remarkable event, seniors preserved it as a memory, whereas underclassmen said, ‘See ya later alligator,” since Greaser Day will be acertain event in years to come. 1 — “We're gunna rock, around, the clock to- night ... ’’ 2 — Aaron Mark adjusts the volume on one of the ‘oldies’ which he has selected. 3 — “You bet I look tough!’”’ 4 — I guess there is a new gang in town. 5 — She’s all mine, bud, so lay off! 6 — Donna Ruggeri shares a moment of pleasure with friends. 7 — What are these girls from the past doing in front of my ‘74 Montego? 8 — ‘We've done it! We've stepped back into the past!’”’ state 1974 Greasers. GREASER DAY 109 We The Students. . . Student Government’s prime objective is to act as a bond between students and faculty. Under the supervision of Ms. Barbara Weissbrod, Student Government coordinated many social as well as civic affairs. Greaser Day and the dance that evening were sponsored by Student Government. Other events included a carnation sale on St. Valentine’s Day to benefit alumnus Wayne Wray, a Wheaton College football player who was seriously injured. Proceeds from this event went towards the purchase of a motorized wheelchair. The main project of Student Government is the Student Treasury drive. Although there has been a sharp decrease in the percentage of students purchasing S.T., this year’s drive was an improvement over the recent past. The freshmen class sold the highest percentage, in contrast to the Seniors who sold the smallest percentage. Mike Chernick, Student Government president stated, ‘We attempt to run student activities and give students a forum to hear their complaints. Our organization has vastly improved over previous years, but we still havea long way to go until Student Government reaches the status it should have.” A major addition to Student Government was ‘Leadershop,’ a program which is run throughout the country an at various schools. ‘Leadershop’ attempts to make representatives more aware of what is going on, or to ‘improve’ them. Hopefully, this will improve them as well as Student Government. You might say that Student Government represents the ‘‘cogs of a precious watch.” Hopefully in years to come, Student Government will continue to act as a bond between students and faculty and meet up to its status. 110 le, eusht +o inger 5°, 1.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT 111 112 Student Concern In keeping with their motto “A Record of Student Concern,’ the Recorder staff continues to be some of the best informed and most concerned students at Classical. It is their purpose to inform students in the hope that their own concern is transferred to others. In addition to school events, Recorder covered outside issues, such as the building of a new high school in Springfied — one of the most controversial issues this year. Reporter Mary Caldwell says of journalism: ‘’You can write an editorial on student's rights, an article on girl’s sports, and one on the energy crisis in the same issue — it’s so unlimited. 1 — Editor-in-Chief Ricki Stein commented that involvement with the Recorder ‘teaches you independence.

RECORDER 113 NO TYPE OR HEADLINES OUTSIDE OF SHADED GRAPH AREA | | ES A Collectors Of Memories— In the past few years, there has been a steady growth in sophistication in Classical __ yearbooks. This year’s Blue and White staff made a special effort to continue this growth through a fresh approach in layout, design, stories, and even in theme, in __] the hope of making the book more representative of the many students at Classical. The choice of the theme, ‘Classical: school in the city,’’ was an effort to - get away from abstract themes which, while interesting, were difficult to relate to. __ An especially outstanding addition to this year’s book are the Feature pages — a __| fun section that points out things always happening at Classical which often go unnoticed. Its unusual layout was designed to suit its lighthearted theme. Each of __] the other sections of Blue and White also has a particular layout best adapted to ,_|_. tell that section’s story. |_| — Every Blue and White staff member at some time during the year has to face the —|— ultimate enemy — the Deadline. The victim of a yearbook deadline is easy to spot— - he’s the one who is running aound with a look of panic on his face, funny blue | sheets sticking out of his books, and a photographer following behind. — EE HHH xy .

Under the direction of Mrs. Sullivan, this group was responsible for collecting the money and keeping the records during the yearbook subscription campaign. As this was the first year in many years that Blue and White has included advertisements, the business staff also had the job of finding patrons and businesses who would like to advertise. The staff reported having a fairly good response, mostly from smaller businesses in the area. Many members of the staff found learning how to sell to businesses, instead of the reverse, an interesting and challenging experience. 1 — Robin Wray and Peter Cohen found that yearbook finances involve a lot of paperwork. 2 — Sitting: Wendy Mackler, Nikki Stoia, Robbin Schmeck, Denise Brown.

Literary Wonders Scribe, Classical’s literary magazine, provided an opportunity for members of Mrs. Jean Bogan’s eleventh grade honors English class to put together a publication. Most agreed that the experience of collecting the creative works of Classical students and arranging them in an attractive manner was an interesting one as well as a refreshing change from the traditional English class. By conducting a tag sale and a raffle, the staff was able to raise enough funds to be able to institute the changes they wanted in this year’s issue of Scribe. 1 — Elaine Jackowitz and Sue Aarons look over submissions to Scribe. 2 — Scribe officers: Gary Meyers, assistant editor; Barbara Block, art edi- tor; Andrea Baevsky, editor-in-chief; John Georgantas, business manager; Brenda Kiley, literary editor; Maria Moore, publicity manag- er. 3 — Scribe members tag items before Tag Sale. 4 — Most agreed that the Tag Sale was successful and a lot of fun. SCRIBE 117 Trivians For the past fourteen years, Classical students have participated in the locally televised game show, “’As Schools Match Wits.’’ Students, under the guidance of Mr. John Sullivan, are chosen on the basis of the results of a qualification examination. The team is comprised of eight members, four of whom apnear on the show ‘isel! | Berman, Victor Gagliardo, Doug Halperin, and Brian Rossini. Four others, Gary Meyers, Ted Gertel, Linda Berman and Mary Kirk, serve as alternates. ) ly One member of the team, Judy Berman, stated, ‘I’ve always had an interest in trivia, that’s why I joined the team. I think of our team as a sports team, for both in this game as well as any other, tactics must be used and each person must be trained and feel a need to be trained.”’ Victor Gagliardo feels, ‘I’ve always watched “’As Schools Match Wits” and wanted to be on the show so, I tried out for the team and made it.” With acombination of strategy and the zeal to win, the 1974-75 “As Schools Match Wits” team defeated Granby 200 to 105, Minnechaug 305 to 120, and Ware 220 to 115, qualifying them for the playoffs in the spring. 1.

These students, advised by Ms. Julia Bale, hold practice sessions to discuss and solve various ty pes of mathematical problems and equations to train for meets against other area schools. “‘T enjoy Mathletes for it offers an intellectual form of competition, while maintaining asports-like format,’’ states Brian Rossini. “T enjoy math,”’ states Nancy Warren. “it is challenging and I enjoy a challenge.” In a field of thirteen schools, Classical faced tough competition from Cathedral and Minnechaug, but more than held their own throughout the season.

The Senate, which operates under a form of parliamentary procedure, enables students to express their points of view by participating in debate. Miriam Kadansky feels, ‘I joined Senate to gain a better ability in debate. By participating in Senate, you are able to practice formal debate and to learn to write bills.’’ She feels however, that ‘Senate is becoming diluted with persons who aren’t seriously interested in learning to debate.” One member who is serious in debate, though, is Edward DelPozzo who states, ‘Many of my friends were in Senate, so I decided to join. I enjoy s peaking on various interesting topics. Senate also enables one to go places, for example the Harvard Model United Nations, A.I.C. Model Congress, as well as others at New Rochelle, West Side, and North Haven. The most significant event of each year is the Senate Tablet Debate in May. The victor’s name is placed on the slab above the stairwell by the teacher’s exchange, along with other fel low debaters from the past.” Another group who participates in formal arguments is the Debating Team. Unlike the Senate, the Debating Team focuses on one specific topic that will be the subject of statewide competitions. Every few weeks the topic is argued at regional debates through the state. 1974-75 marks the second year of the Debating Team’s existence, and signs show that it is the beginning of along history. 1. Several members of the Senate listen to the minutes of the last meeting. 2. First semester president Doug Halperin calls the meeting to order. 3.

In an effort to change this and make the society more meaningful, a few changes were instituted—too late to affect this year’s members, but in time for future societies. In addition to his grade- point-average, the student’s service record and character will be considered before he is inducted into the honor society. Also, acommittee was formed to plan an induction ceremony for next year. President Nancy Garrow revealed as her reason for advocating these changes: ‘We want to make it a little more special to be a member of the National Honor Society.” 1 — There was a good turnout of old and new Classical students at the annual NHS-spon- sored Alumni Tea. 2 — Bill Strzempek, Carolyn Marchetti, and Nancy Garrow help organize the Alumni Tea. 3 — Officers of the NHS: Nancy Warren, secretary; Nancy Garrow, president; Mrs. Thomas, advisor; and Judy Berman, vice- president. 4 — Sue Foster and Lori Gillman, two of the many returning Classical students who were able to meet and talk with old friends. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY 121 Science Survives The Biology Club is the only science club which has survived at Classical. The club relied this year on Doug Kimball to provide lectures and to lead dissections. Besides utilizing the services of Doug Kimball, the curator at the Science Museum, Club President Brian Rossini also scheduled guest speakers to address the club. Professor William Wilson of U. Mass spoke on his own research with prosthetic devices, while Dr. Robert Barkman of Springfield College discussed the uniqueness of man. 3 1. One of the members studies a specimen. 2.

The small membership of this year’s Chess Club, es pecially in comparison to those in the past few years, seemed to indicate so. Because of their overall lack of experience, the Chess Club did not compete against other schools this year, but did enjoy informal matches and rivalries among themselves. 1 — ‘A good set-up is so important — you have to plan ahead.’ 2 — Barbara Brown, the only girl, and also one of the most experienced on this year’s chess club revealed: ‘A lot of the guys underestimate my ability. I love the feeling when I’m winning.’ 3 — Twins Jeff and Robert Baevsky compete. 4 — Robert Ross and Bill Perkins consider each other good competition and play often. =H e5S CLUB 123 Helping Hands Meeting each Saturday of November at the Red Cross Center on Maple Street, the Red Cross Club at tempted to provide young children with a recreational program including arts and crafts projects. Diane Pickrell states, ‘Ms. Widland, coordinator of the program, got me involved in the Red Cross Club. Now I realize that it’s for my own good, for I hope to work with children someday.” By providing children with such programs, the Red Cross group offers children an opportunity to do something constructive, rather than wander the streets alone. 1. Lynne concentrates deeply on a game which she is playing. 2. Diane Pickrell listens carefully to the question being asked to the children. 3. “What's going on?” asks Tony, one of the many participants of the Saturday morning program. 4. ‘It looks to me like the kids are en- joying themselves.” 124 RED CROSS CLUB A Touch Of Class Culture Vultures, under the surveillance of Mr. Francis Girr, assemble periodically throughout the course of the year. The purpose of the club is to broaden the students’ knowledge of the fine arts. Junior Lisa Lesniak states, ‘‘I’m interested in the arts, and possibly I will choose a career in this field. Culture Vultures, therefore, will provide me with some sort of informal background in the fine arts.’’ She also adds, “I find Culture Vultures a learning experience which I enjoy.” Mary Jane Lemoine, a senior, replies, “Mr. Girr, my 10H English teacher actually inspired me to join Culture Vultures. We see many unusual and interesting things at our meetings such as jade, various types of pottery, Oriental rugs, and paintings. Mr. Donald Reichert, George Walter Vincent Smith Museum director, knows a great deal of information concerning the arts. He knows so much information, I feel somewhat stupid after each meeting. Also, I like the idea of being able to observe and handle things more closely.” 3 1. Members of the 1974-75 Culture Vultures. 2. Sandy Novack examines an abstract painting. 3.

The group has taken many trips out of the country to those areas which use French as either a primary or secondary language. The group visited Montreal, Canada and found the trip most informative. After visiting lovely France, the group cited the Arc de Triomphe and the Cathdral de Notre Dame as two of the higher points of the trip. The students in the French Club, who are advised by Miss Meunier, both master and enjoy the French language and culture. saa al 1 — Dean Cohen prepare slides for Club members. 2 — Now is that ‘ce que’ or is it quest- ce que?” Laura Mason can’t seem to decide. 3 — Laura Mason, Jo Dunning, Joseph Duperre, Sandy Novac, Marcel Bissonette, Dean Cohen. 126 FRENCH CLUB Black Unity The Afro-American Society of Classical is based on black awareness and promotes minority relations. Quintin Fowlkes, the president, cites “Unity” as the chief concern of the group, and sees organization as one way to achieve this unity. Fowlkes, who has been a member of Afro-Am for all of his three years at Classical, has seen the group change and grow. He states, ‘In no other school, can you find so many black people concerned about their surroundings and fellow black people.” 1 — Leon Tranum, Erva Garnette, Connie As- kew, Stephanie Ford do research for Black His- tory Week. 2 — Collie Underwood, Roderick Ware, and Dana Rutherford. 3 — Pam Jenkins, Roderick Ware, and Brenda Webb peruse a magazine. 4 — Sitting: Deseree Frazier, Karen Wallace, Stephanie Ford, Laverne Westbrook, Wanda Perry, Erva Garnette, Connie Askew, Pamela Jenkins.

This year’s biggest production, People Are Funny, proved to be a huge success with the audience and even the Drama Club members themselves. All were very impressed with the ‘‘real sense of professionalism” displayed. Although most members seem to join just out of a casual interest in drama, many in the club anticipate careers in acting. Lisa Northgraves, who has ‘wanted to make acting my profession for so long,’ revealed that she gets a great satisfaction out of performing. “Even from the bad experiences you can learn a lot.” 3 1 — Hope Lajeunesse: ‘I had so much fun with my costume!” 2 — Janet Andrewes, Mike Les- ker, and. Cheryl Czerniak are shown at a mo- ment which illustrates this comment made by a member of the audience: ‘The timing was flaw- less, with the perfect execution of lines so im- portant in comedy.” 3 — Because of Classical’s poor stage facilities, the Drama Club was forced to put on People Are Funny at Duggan Jr. High School. 4 — Drama players Janet Andrewes, Lisa Northgraves, Chuck Viens, Cheryl Czer- niak, and Mike Lesker show real involvement in their parts. 5 — Slapstick l ives at Classical. 128 10 6 — Front Row: Lisa Northgraves, Janet An- drewes, Diane Constantakis, Mr. Pervonga, Hope Lajeunesse, Cheryl Czerniak, Carolyn Marchetti.

DRAMA CLUB 129 Classical Sings The chorus is made up of two separate groups, the Boys’ and Girls’ Choruses. Chorus is the first stage in Classical’s long line of singing groups. It is basic training for Classical’s young singers, plus a welcome activity for those who just like to sing. Freshmen and sophomores are the main participants with a few juniors joining in. From Chorus, singers are recruited for Choir and the prestigious Madrigal. This year’s choruses are full of spirit and helped to make the Christmas Concert sparkle. Along with help from other vocal groups, they earned a standing ovation ina brilliantly sung ‘Hallelujah Chorus.” 1 — The Classical Chorus is caught with wide open mouths as they belt out their finale. 2 — Steve Vining getting ready to tape the Christ- mas Concert. 3 — Lynne Lamothe being careful not to miss a note. 4 — Tom Ryan, Don Cor- nish, Jose Santos, and Chris Benoit. 130 CHORUS Potentially Best Mr. Robbins, choral director, reported that this year’s choir was one of the potentially best choirs Classical has heard in many years. The Choir encompasses juniors and seniors, boys and girls. Emotional highpoints of the year for the Choir are the Christmas and Spring Concerts. The Choir was particularly outstanding at the Christmas Concert with their presentation of a medley of traditional songs. The overall feeling among the Choir is that this year was ‘‘a joyful experience’ with the favorite song being the ‘Hallelujah Chorus.” ry 1 — Mr. Robbins preparing the choir for one of their many concerts. 2 — Sue Penna, one of the many singers who spends long hours rehears- ing. 3 — Combined choruses perform beautiful- ly in the Christmas Concert. 4 — The choir’s humble Eric Frank shies away from the camera. CHOIR 131 Top Vocalists Madrigal members state that there is a tremendous feeling of pride in being connected with the group. This pride is easy to understand when one understands that Madrigal is made up of the most talented male and female voices at Classical. The Madrigal performs in numerous concerts throughout the year. Their music is considerably more difficult, with the emphasis on classical music or songs, than that done by other singing groups. Some of their Christmas songs included “’Halleluah, Amen,” and “Noel Novelet.’” Many Madrigal singers earn themselves a spot on the all-district and all-state choirs. This year Dennis Grumsey was talented enough to go as far as the all-Eastern (U.S.) choir. he i oo POULT , lhe Pd wt ran ne f 1 — Matt Taylor — ‘from the diaphragm.”’ 2 — Diane Rovelli, and Karen Topolski lead Madri- gal in the Christmas Concert. 3 — Roman Allis, Kirk Peters, Jane Dinny, Dan Hay, Karen To- polski, Diane Rovelli, Dawn Lamos, and Vicki Harrington practice intensely for the bi g night. 4 — Nikki Stoia, Vicki Smith, Dianna Gosselin, and Barbara Roth sing for a large Christmas Concert audience. 132 MADRIGAL Style And Skill Last year’s ‘‘stage band” was this year’s ‘‘Jazz Ensemble.”’ They changed their name, but not their style and skill. Last year, they finished second only to Brockton High in state competition. This year they had hopes to be even better. The ensemble possesses a repertoire that consists of many different types of music. They range from “ Vivaldie Concerto in A- minor’ to ‘I Don’t Know How to Love Him” (from Jesus Christ Superstar). This year’s Jazz Ensemble are a very talented group of musicians. Hopefully, the Jazz Ensemble will continue to live up to its well earnd reputation in years to come.

The marching portion of the band practiced themselves to a one- hundred percent improvement, with their repertoire growing tremendously.

The orchestra enjoyed an exceptionally good year with an excellent showing at the Christmas Concert. Their main emphasis this year was on popular music more than classical music. Some of their music include the sounds of Simon and Garfunkel and the Carpenters. The string section brought a new style of music to Classical—chamber music, which includes the use of a new instrument, the harp. With the improvement seen during the year there is tremendous optimism for years to come. 1 — Karen Korzenewski and Cathy Marsh prac- tice conscientiously. 2 — Wendy Mackler sits poised ready for the start. 3 — Denise Ruggeri and Karen Korzenewski do it ‘‘once more.” 4 — Kristine Fantakis and Carin Smith wait for Doc O’Keefe’s signal. 5 — Mary Kirk enjoys a much earned rest. ORCHESTRA 135 Arousing Support Cheerleaders are a strange breed: they have to attend games even if nobody else does, keep up school spirit and encourage the players. The girls practice three times a week and all summer long to keep in shape. They are extrememly talented and acrobatic. The cheerleaders at Classical enjoy what they do. As one cheerleader put it, Its alotoft hard work, butit s worth it.” 1.— Mary Rannenburg yells ‘‘a little louder.’’ 2 — Varsity Cheerleading Squad.

MAJORETES 137 Students Help Out Classical could not get along without its service clubs. This year there is anew service club around Classical. Its name? The Art Service Club. This club provides publicity for student organizations and events. Having been limited to posters this year, Mrs. Schoppe, the adviser, hopes to expand the club’s involvement a little next year by providing scenery for the Drama Club or by ‘‘beautifying the school a little.” The Audio Visual Aides, based in room 205, are a dedicated group of students. Advised by Mr. Peck, the group serves the school with excellence. Among their duties are setting up film projectors, repairing damaged film, and ordering films. Assisting Mrs. Dinnie and Miss Brown in the library are the library aides who spend their free time learning where books are located, learning how to set up reference films and records, and checking out books for students. The School Store, open during homeroom and lunch periods, provides students with the usual pencils, pens, paper, and notebooks needed from day to day as well as necessities such as class mascots and sweatshirts embossed with the Classical emblem. All the service clubs volunteer their time to benefit the school, but in terms of learning and experience, they benefit themselves as well. 1 138 LIBRARY AIDES — SCHOOL STORE 8 1 — Library Aides.

ART SERVICE CLUB AUDIO VISUAL AIDES 139 140 In The Halls, In The Office The people involved with the patrols are invaluable in their duties. They feel that they give service to the school, and also gain a lot of personal freedom. Many feel that they should carry more authority, however. As one young lady put it, ‘“ Nobody will come to me if I ask them fora pass ... ‘On the other hand, the.experience gained by patrolling is a positive aspect, as is the fact that the patrols meet alot of people. On the whole, helping out the school appeals to most. The patrols are advised by Miss Dickerman, Mr. Annino, and Mr. Beaupre. 1 — Girls’ Patrol Captain Jeri Humphries points out the post assignments to Kathy Hudyka, Kathy Herbert, and Jane Crohan. 2 — Debbie Gariepy at her post. 3 — The 1974-1975 Boys’ Patrol. 4 — Bev Gordon, Joanne Kowil, Jeri Humphries, and Dorothy Stefanik were a tre- mendous help to the office this year. 5 — Doug- las Rae ready to pounce on the first unfortunate hall-walker. 6 — Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus were even on hand to help out the Boys’ Patrol in the Toy for Joy Fund Drive. 7 — Girls’ Patrol officers: Jane Crohan, Lieutenant; Dorothy Stephanik, Clerk; Jeri Humphries, Captain. 8 — John Slepchuk finds that you have plenty of time to get homework done when you're a member of Boys’ Patrol. PATROLS 141 Galloping On Horseback Riding at Classical is a non-competitive activity for girls interested in learning to ride. This year, the girls learned, most importantly, how to feel comfortable and to build a mutual trust with the horses as they fed, groomed, and exercised on them. After all this was accomplished, the thrill of the actual riding was achieved. This club has grown in popularity in recent years and seems to be a favorite among the Classical girls. 3 1 — Terri Trowbridge holding the reins. 2 — Grace Taylor gallops onward. 3 — Leslie Mon- roe and a Tech companion calm the horse. 4 — Leslie Monore mounted upon her majestic stallion. 142 HORSEBACK RIDING Love Thy Nature 1974-75 marked the creation of the Outing Club. The purpose of this organization is to enable students to go rock-climbing, hiking and bike riding with a large number of students. Tom Kligerman states, ‘’I enjoy the wilderness, for there are no signs of civilization. Hiking also enables one’s legs to grow stronger, and you breath easier.’’ One of the main activities this year’s club was a trip to the Chinipist Trail in Connecticut. With the growing interest in the outdoors, the Outing Club shows signs of asound future. . Pe vigete’ 7 as CAL clu IVA 1975 | 3 1 — Members of the Outing Club.

OUTING CLUB 143 Easy Gliders Those Classical students, whether they are Billy Kidds or beginners, who are able to disregard the cold, and certain excruciatingly painful sensations, are provided with a ski club. These nature enthusiasts met for five consecutive Tuesdays, beginning in January at nearby Mount Tom. For a nominal fee, students were provided with transportation to and from Mt. Tom, lessons if desired, and unlimited use of all lifts, plus an opportunity to ski with fellow students. Most skiers feel that skiing enables one to have a oneness with nature, that it is different from any other sport, and, most important of all, you have to be brave. 2 1.

Yet the ‘’feminists’’ have made their mark as well. Each Tuesday of October and November, over twenty girls met at the Forest Park skating rink, under the leadership of Ms. Skelton, to improve their ice skating ability, and, according to Lisa Omartian, “To learn to skate so that I can eventually learn to play hockey. Hopefully, we'll have our own hockey team in the near future.” Beverly Mackie states, “It’s about time girls learned to play hockey.’ I have always enjoyed skating tremendously.”’ Carolyne Dugette feels, ‘‘Skating is fun; you can release your frustrations and think over a lot of things.” Skating allowed students to learn to skate at an inexpensive price. te cd ‘ 5 1. ‘Now really, there’s no need to cry.”’ 2.

The trips help the students’ better understanding of the subjects they are studying. The psy- chology class, for example, usually plans a trip to one of the State Hos- pitals, such as Monson or Belchertown. The trips enable the students to be- come more familiar with different ty pes of mental deficiencies and psychological — conditions that af flict individuals in our society. Another trip was made when the ecology class traveled to Bondi’s Island, while the conservation class made expeditions to Provin Moun- tain and the Northfield Storage Pump. Classes find the Spfld. courts an excel- _ lent place to observe our government's legal system. Teenager and the Law is one such class. The American Studies classes have toured such interesting __ places as Sturbridge Village, the Springfield Police Station, and the Springfield and Boston Fine Arts Museums. Perhaps the most education- al and exciting trip taken was made by the French Club in April. They _ traveled during the Spring vacation , to Paris, France. Whether students are traveling with classmates, family, or just alone, the trips are always fun, exciting, and, perhaps, one of the best educational experiences. 146 i Gans, ines HORIZONS 147 a wnt Football Classical’s triumph over Putnam in the season's opener built up the hopes for a Suburban League championship. But as the ‘74 season progressed, the gridmen were subjected to several heartbreaking losses. The lack of a place kicker appeared to have denied the Bulldogs of many crucial victories. Both Longmeadow and East Longmeadow nipped Classical’s eleven by just three points. They also lost a tight one in the final minutes to Palmer by the score of 22-20. As in the past seasons, injuries once again took their toll, nullifying chances for aconsistantly sound backfield. The Blue and White did however, have flashes of brilliance, and beat some formidable opponents. Probably their most outstanding performance was against East Longmeadow. A fired up offense chalked up more points against the Spartans than all their other challengers combined. Although the Bulldogs out played East Longmeadow, they came up on the short end of the score, 15-12. Managing a 4-5 record, the football team tackled a fifth place finish in their league. Many ball players voiced dissappointment with the team’s performance this year, but they are looking forward to next fall. 1 — Offensive guard Ron Ravelli sets himself for blocking duty. 2 — Line- backers Dan Provost (76) and Jim Lessard (35) stand over their victim from Ludlow. 3 — John Benoit barks out the signals. 4 — Al May (42) watches sure handed Jeff Urspring pull down the pigskin.

Rookie quarterback John Benoit proved more than capable behind an experienced offensive line lead by All Suburban Leaguer Gerry Scavoni. The front four, consisting of All City Ron Ravelli, and seniors Chuck Cook, Doug LaBrecque, and Ted Maney, paved the way for the sideline sprints of Earl Smith. Opposing linebackers were dazzled by ‘Chico’ Smith, the second leading scorer in Western, Mass. The quick moves of Ken Jimmerson who played both ways, and tailback Al May rounded out the backfield. Taking advantage of his backs, Coach Cataldi used a basic running attack, but in the later stages of the season, Cataldi’s game plan went to the air where lanky Jeff Urspring was Benoit’s favorite receiver. Urspring earned an All City spot with his numerous one handed catches. Linemen Pete Shea John D’ Agostino, Arthur Davenport, and All City Tom Harrington, along with linebackers Jim Lessard, and Dan Provost, provided many bone crushing tackles. Despite the Bulldog’s sub .500 season, individual player talent frequently furnished exciting moments. y : nL So ort pigs cee ey ® an ta ate F tescl CLOSE BUT NO CIGAR 151 52, Soccer It was the evening of the fall banquet; the spaghetti suppers had been cleared away, and it was time for Coach Stratton’s speech. The speech was not long, but it expressed his feelings directly. He stressed the greatness of the season, the enjoyment of winning the city championship, of having an undefeated record, an d his pride in the team. He did not praise individuals, but rather cited the whole team’s effort. He closed by wishing boys who played winter sports to, ‘Beat Cathedral!”’ Every soccer player felt the same way. Classical enjoyed their most successful season in many years. In Stratton’s third year as coach, he led the team through eighteen straight games without a loss and captured his second city championship. In regular season games Classical outhustled, outshot, outplayed and outdug every other team. They beat heavily favored Cathedral twice, took Tech once, and defeated many fine teams. Unrecognized as a power by the papers at first, Classical soon became constant game favorites. Lesser teams ‘’ psyched up” for Classical games, but the devastating offense and miserly defense kept Classical on top of the schoolboy soccer pile all year. Because of a tied game with Tech, Classical was seeded second in the Western Mass. Soccer Tournament. In the first elimination game in Worcester, Classical handily stomped on Shrewsbury 5-1. A few days later they pounced on Hudson 3-1 in Longmeadow. Two days later on a cold, windy, Saturday afternoon in November, the Bulldogs met their recent nemisis, Cathedral, on the supposedly neutral Springfield College polyturf field. In a game well played by both teams, Cathedral beat Classical 1-0. Classical’s unfamiliarity with the artificial playing surface clearly showed, but they played a fine game none-the- less. One player said, ‘I think we were up more for the turf than for Cat High.’’ Coach Stratton commented that some players fell down while running when they had never done so in their whole lives. The loss was disappointing because they had beaten Cathedral twice. But in Stratton’s opinion the game was not a lowpoint because Classical had given 100%, and for that there is no disgrace in losing. Without a doubt, the Bulldogs had a great team and season. amongst He Ber eted! 7 mete 1 — Steve Terlik clears the ball up- field. 2 — Steve Wark comes out of the cage to make a save during first half action in the semi-final game at Springfield College. 3 — Tech defend- ers trailing, Jack Lynch blasts one from the top of the box. 4 — On the run, Barry Ryan sets up a cross. 5 — Rich Bushey looks upfield for an in- side to drop his chip on. 6 — Tom Gentile’s powerful drive lifts him off the ground. GREAT TEAM, DYNAMIC SEASON 153 Soccer The ‘74 soccer team presented an ominous offense that pressured, peppered, and pounded opposing team defenses and goalies. Classical’s unyielding defense protected leads, made catch up style soccer nearly impossible, and kept the ball out of the defensive zone. On the front line, All Western Mass. inside Tom Gentile scored an extraordinary 26 goals, many times two or three to a game. Behind him in Classical’s scoring was Jack Lynch, who had one of the hardest, most accurate shots on the team. On the wings, T. J. Martin, Randy Carnevale, and Marc Allen constantly fed the insides with crosses that set up goals, and the three scored often themselves. Behind the line were the essential halfbacks. They consisted of Captain Rich Bushey and Barry Ryan; Bushey was All Western Mass. Second Team and Ryan All Interschool Team. Other halfbacks included Tom D’Agostiro, who did a great job against Cathedral but received a broken leg just before the playoffs, and Bill Konstas, who ably filled in for the injured D’ Agostino and scored the first playoff goal. If the ball got past the halfbacks, the stalwart Classical defense was expected to stop the opposition. The defense was held down by fullbacks Mark “Oral’’ Roberts and John Dymon, both of whom Coach Stratton lauded as strong factors in the Bulldog’s success. Other greatly appreciated fullbacks were Steve Terlik and Bill Footit. Between the posts, Steve Wark and Pete Cohen shared the nets equally and performed superbly. The team members on the bench were always supplying needed support and substituted efficiently. Classical was privileged to have had the talent and character that was provided by the soccer team of 1974. 154 OWN OO FN FR WD Ca thedral | Record Won 17 Lost 1 Tied 1 Hee HNn He PH eR OO Geo ee eo 10 1 — Senior goalie Peter Cohen stops a low blast. 2 — John Dymon pops a head ball © upfield. 3 — With a beautiful slide tackle, Marc Allen swipes the ball from a Tech halfback. 4 —’74 SOCCER TEAM: Kneeling: Barry Ryan, Marc Allen, Jeff Chick- erella, Randy Carnevale, Tom Gentile, Ed Villereal, Tom D’ Agostino, Bill Konstas, John Dymon.

He noted, ‘With only one varsity letterman returning in 1974, we went through what no coach likes to go through, a year of complete rebuilding.”’ Junior runners, Andy Sullivan and Bill Tsagaris, combined for several outstanding performances during the course of the year. Possibly their best run was their one-two finish among Classical runners in the city cross country championship. Sixteen varsity and junior varsity lettermen will be returning in September of nineteen seventy-five. RESULTS - 1. Chicopee runners get a jump on Class- ical at Forest Park. 2.

Fans screamed, ‘Ronnie, rose to the occasion,” and Classical, thanks to Stratton and Company, tied for the interschool League Championship with Tech. Classical also qualified for the Western Mass. Basketball Tournament, the team’s third time in three years. It was, however, the first time Classical had won the Interschool title since Mr. Meder won it six years ago. In tying for the coveted title, Classical pummeled hated rival Cathedral, longtime power Commerce, and the improved Beavers of Putnam twice each and split two decisions with Tech. It was the defeat of Tech in their second game that allowed Classical to tie for the crown. Coach and players alike agreed that it w as a game that Classical really wanted. One fan quipped that, “ Any five team members could have played and won that game.” In keeping to their goal of holding Tech under 60 points, Classical put Tech away 55-51 and shot 48% from the floor. The inspired Bulldogs showed they could play playoff ball. By mid-February they were eleven and five due largely to the work of Rose, Gordon O’Neal, Chuck Ertel, Andy Wilkerson, and Tony Watkins. Coach Stratton also praised his able substitutes for their enthusiasm which really held the team together. He said, ‘Guys like Julian Schmoke, Pat Finn, Steve Faniel, and the rest are really fantastic.” Zi 3 1 — In a duel of the 33’s, Gordon O'Neal hawks a bound underneath the hoop. 2 —Drew Wilderson heads for the lane. 3 — Ronnie Rose from A the top of the key, BANG!

MAGIC AT THE HOOP 159 Field Hockey Mrs. Desrochers’ rookie team, with the exception of three girls, had never played field hockey before joining the club. Although inexperienced, they practiced strenuously, played hard, and astonished their coach when they managed to hold Agawam, an experienced varsity team, to only four goals. Because they joined forces with Commerce for several encounters with the opposition, the team does not have a fair and accurate win-loss record in a three period game; Classical would play two periods, while Commerce would play the remainder of the game. Although there was much talent among juniors such as Mary Michalik and Lauren Strout, the nucleus of the team was made up of seniors Michelle Megas, Kathy Ashe, Diane Pickrell, and Meg Toomey. = iced ened eel _ciecnaietee: 1 — Mary Beth Mahalek breaks through the defense. 2 — FIELD HOCKEY TEAM.

HARD WORKERS 161 Hockey “The first Classical goal was scored by number seventeen, Rick Mastrianni, assisted by number twelve, Gary Pickett, and number seven, Tom Gentile.” This familiar scoring combination tripped the switch on the red goal light many times this year. Rick Mastrianni’s most memorable goal, though, may have been against brother Gary, Cathedral’s regular net minder. In two games which encompassed all the spirit and skill a high school hockey fan could desire, the Bulldog’s just out played the Panthers eight to six and five to three. By mid February, Classical had built up an impressive 14-1-1 record, including twelve straight games in which they went undefeated. Their only loss, a five to one setback against West Side, disappointed some fans, but certainly not the players. They balanced their loss with a winning combination of effort and determination. 1 162 SHR ORHAUO ®WNAH UY 7 ReDULYS Classical Opponents St. Joseph’s West Springfield _ - Technical $3) Agawam Chicopee Cathedral Amherst West Springfield Technical Agawam Chicopee Cathedral Amherst Record Won 11 Lost 1 Tied 1 ROOWRANANWUHDN 1 — Steve Hudyka freezes the puck as Barry Ryan looks on. 2 — Last year’s top scorer in the Berry Division, Bob Hess. 3 — Joe Rescia brings out the puck. 4 — Muscleman John Lenilko stickhandles along the boards. 5 — THE ‘74 - ‘75 VARSITY HOCKEY SQUAD: Front Row: Steve Hudyka, Gary Pickett, Andy Mc Clallan, John Robinson, John Verducci, Tom Gen- tile) Mike Dowd, Dave Nardi, Back Row: Rick Sypek, Coach Carlin, Bar- ry Ryan, Bob Hess, Tim Killbride, Dan Thomas, John Lenilko, Rick Mastrianni, Joe Rescia, Jeff Cawley, Jerry Mckillop, Jim Finn, Coach Poworski, Jim Dowd. 6 — Jeff Cawley and Dave Nardi fight off an Amherst wing. 7 — Tom Gentile wins still an- other face-off. WHAT A YEAR 163 Hockey Classical’s potent offense this year was almost everything a coach could want. Senior Rick Mastrionni and juniors Gary Pickett, Tom Gentile, and Bob Hess could always be counted on for a goal when it was needed. A strong defense, back-boned by Barry Ryan and sophomore Joe Rescia, seemed to get better as the season were on. Early weaknesses all but disappeared. Coach Carlin obviously possessed one of the best offenses in Western Mass.; but, as the pitcher is the nucleus of a baseball team, a hockey team depends on its goalies. Returning senior goalie, Dan Thomas, played consistently, sharing the goaltending with sophomore Steve Hudyka. Hudyka showed the poise of a seasoned veteran in both victories over Cathedral, games in which the pressures could have gotten to many other young players. In keeping with tradition, Classical again qualified for the post season playoffs. 2 pega D , 164 7 1 — A goalie’s view of Bob Hess’ slap shot. 2 — John Lenilko carries the puck down ice. 3 — THE’74-’75 J.V.

POWERFUL PUCKSTERS 165 Wrestling Inexperience is probably the reason that Classical’s wrestling team had difficulty in competition this year. Because there were only four veteran wrestlers on the team, the underclassmen, at the expense of losing, were forced to pick up new skills on the mats during actual meets. In his first year, Coach Dan McLaughlin, worked the team six days a week in an effort to mold a winning team. The Bulldogs finished the year with a 5-10-1 record which was as one grappler put it, ‘not a surprise but a beginning.” It might be noted that Classical forfeited six to twelve points a 1 2 meet because they did not have wrestlers in the heavier classes. Individually, Dan Moriarity, Steve Gale, Humberto Talaia, Mark Warren, and Karl Monteiro, who won against favored Tech, were Bulldog workers and winners. The team showed spirit and unity and, just before the season ended, won a city tri-meet against Commerce and Putnam.

Although most of the girls were sophomores and freshmen, two of the team’s best players were seniors Margaret Toomey and Diane Pickerell. Peg Toomey, whose graduation will be surely felt, has been an active participant in many girls’ sports during her three years here, and she especially excels in basketball. Mrs. Skelton feels that her team was not lacking in their knowledge of plays, nor in their ability to hustle, but they did need to improve their shooting skills. Prospects for next year’s team are good, and they include sophomores Elaine Contant, who displayed a surprising amount of ability for one year’s playing. Coach and players eagerly look forward to the new season. 1. Elaine Contant drives down the court. 2. Carlene Yates shows poise as she attempts a jump shot. 3.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST 167 Gymnastics This year’s gymnastic team has made vast improvements in perfecting their style, technique, and skill. Many of the girls are able to do aerials, a feat that few accomplished previous to this year. Although the team is not yet competitive with other schools, the girls made a public appearance when they represented the city high schools at the Creative Arts Festival. They also put on a show this spring. Diana Goldberg, a freshman here, entered the Western Mass. competition representing Classical. The girls have worked strenuously, practicing several days a week after school. The gymnastic team set aside every Tuesday for ballet lessons, which helped them gain grace and style. Next year the girls hope to engage in competition with other teams. 1 — Dianna Goldberg exhibits ex- treme height and form as she ap- proaches the buck. 2 — Trying to gain correct form, Mary Michalek works on a hand spring. 3 — Anne Pieterse shows poise as she skillfully balances herself on a four inch wide beam. me a he mae se aa ete aly on a 0 1 — GYMNASTIC TEAM, Row One: Elizabeth Roche, Mary Ellen Hopkins, Dianne Ruhmsh- ottel, Coleen Kotulka, Kathryn Manalakis, Kim Casagrande.

IMPROVEMENT 169 Swimming Coach Otto Wulff, in his 25th year as swimming mentor, had nothing to be ashamed of as far as this year’s swim team’s accomplishments went. A crushing victory over Tech and a strong win against Chicopee Comp., the division B mainstay, were two highlights. Another pleasant surprise for the swimming Bulldogs was a very close loss to the last year’s Western Mass. champs, Cathedral. The powerful Panther team defeated Classical by a mere two points in a match in which everyone on both teams gave his best. About the team’s strengths and weaknesses, Captains Paul Davis, Paul Zguro, and Ted Maney stated in agreement that, ‘‘Our best event was probably the butterfly while the distance relay was our principal weakness.’’ Next year, Classical will be transferred from their present position in division A to division B. As the last place finisher in division A, they are required to drop to B division where they should be a power to be reckoned with. 1 1 — Paul Davis displays fine free-style form. 2 — Keith Bransford sets to enter the water, completing a jack-knife dive. 3 — Paul Zguro performs his strength, the butterfly. 4 —Ira Albert strives for that last stroke. 5 — Tri-captains Ed Maney, Paul Zguro, and Paul Davis pose with coach of 25 years, Otto Wulff. 6 — THE ‘74- 75 SWIM TEAM: Kneeling.

COACH WULFF'S 25th YEAR 171 Wy?) Bowling The 1974-75 edition of the Classical bowling team completed its most frustrating season in over eight years with a record of 0-8. Coach Armand Jermakian felt that the overall improvement by the league opposition and lack of veteran bowlers hampered the team throughout the entire season. He was proud, however, of the team’s fine character and enthusiasm. Although the kegglers missed the top spot in the interschool league for the first time in seven years, they had some consistent performers. For example, tenth grader Cheryl Fillion was not only the first female bowler in the team’s history, but also the most proficient scorer as well. 1.74 BOWLING TEAM.

Crew The 74 Classical Crew Team did not compete as a varisty team but it practiced diligently and along with running a few meets with Tech was in the Mid-Hudson Regatta on the Hudson River in Poughkeepsie, N.Y.

YEAR FOR REBUILDING 173 Baseball Despite an overall showing of eight wins and twelve losses, Coach Bob Smith’s players salvaged a five and three record for third place in inner-city action. A victory over Tech, a six to four cliffhanger at Forest Park was definitely Classical’s best game of the year. Consistant contributors of the ‘74 season were Marty Reilly, Al Alminas, Frank Ballas, and Dave Basile. Commenting on the season, Mr. Smith stated, “I had high hopes for our senior team, but early season injuries to our front line pitcher and catcher hurt our chances for a winning season. No matter how many good players you have, you can’t do a thing without solid pitching. Everyone of my ballplayers gave their best, though.” Baseball at Classical was alive and well despite a national high school trend away from the national past time. Player participation on the three teams, varsity, junior varsity, and freshman, was greater this year than in any other year in Classical’s baseball history.

Full of spirit and enthusiasm, Mrs. Skelton’s team had a strong pitching staf f led by Mary Mullen as a top hurler and hard working Kathy Ashe as a second starter. Strong hitting by such sluggers as Michele Megas, Diane Pickerel, and Mary Mullen compensated for the inconsistencies in the field. Last year’s team was composed of mostly sophomores and juniors who gained valuable experience for the ‘75 season. 1.

SPIRIT AND ENTHUSIASM 177 Golf The results from the eighteenth hole were in; Classical had driven Cathedral into the green, winning the Interschool League Championship by a match score of fifteen to three. Their sudden death victory eagled an excellent season of ten wins and four losses. Adrenalin soaring, Classical qualified their six varsity golfers for the Western Mass. Individual Tournament and, under the guidance of adviser Mr. Richard Pare, they were rated highly to take it all. But on the judgement day at the Chicopee Country Club, during the W. Mass. Team Finals, Classical endured what one member deemed, ‘just one of those really bad days.” Although Classical did not take the top honors, Dave Cook and Bob Schmeck, returning to the tournament for their second year, along with Jon Stavros, Bob Burke, Bill Danaher, and Bob Barbeau brought back third place bronze. Perhaps third was a letdown from their expectations, but the Bulldogs proved, against qualified teams like Pittsfield and Chicopee, that they weren’t amateurs on the high school tour. sUssss sss5 RESULTS __ CLASSICAL: OPPONENTS Chicopee Comp.

After two years of near winless seasons, the netmen more than sextupled their last tow years of victories with seven triumphs out of seventeen matches. ‘’ Every victory was an upset,’ quipped one member of the team. Classical pulled itself from the dark depths of the dungeon of defeat by placing fifth out of nine teams in the Pioneer Valley Tennis League. Team members would have savored their season even more if they had beaten highly touted Cathedral, but they fell by a backhand, 3-2. Linda Fletcher who won the majority of her 5 matches, along with co-captains Joe Cohn and Dan Hay, led Classical in splitting victories with Tech, their cross-the-street rival. The vastly improved Bulldogs have started to build the steps to the top with anon-senior team who won more matches than most can remember. Ferre maker a whore oa ¥ .

Individualism and lack of balance seemed to set the tone for the entire season; there were many outstanding performances, but the team as a whole could deliver only a .500 season. On the clean side of the ‘74 slate, the season was enhanced by the erasing of Western, Mass., city and school records. Classical’s first All New Englander in recent years, Frank Buntin, set a Western Mass. record in the triple jump with a 43’ 11” leap. Running anchorman in the 880 yard relay, Buntin combined with Tom Dagenais, Earl Smith, and Bob Williams to chalk up new city and Western, Mass. marks. All Western, Mass. low hurdles winner, Ronnie Williams, left his opponent in the dust with first place finishes in both high and low hurdles. With a time of 15.3, Ronnie destroyed the city high hurdles mark that had stood for over a decade. Finishing third in the city final, the field showed strength with Kenny O’Connor’s winning the discus, and Gerry Scavone’s placing third in the shot put. Javelin Jim Lessard took first place, setting a new school record with an incredible toss of 184 feet. 180 - Ludlow _ Chicopee. -Commerce Cathedral — Technical Putnam Commerce — Longmeadow E.

Classical, being seventy-eight years old, shows obvious signs of wear: broken windows, broken lockers, and broken water fountains, not to mention the hundred pencil‘points that must get broken every day. The sight of broken lockers is so common that one almost never gets noticed. Broken arms and legs have also become ordinary, especially during the ski season. When March brings warm weather, one may see many people with broken hearts who have : been struck by “spring fever.’’ These examples, though, do not represent everything that gets broken at Classical or in the world. Within the past decade, traditions slowly have been breaking. Traditionally, this world has been run by great men, but now we can see women, too, from Ella Grasso to Indira _Ghandi have become important political figures, while others like Billy Jean King, have entered the world of professional athletics. On a smaller scale, the same transition is happening at Classical. The ninth grade class president is a young woman named Sharlene Moran. While a female class president is not really a shattering change, as other girls have held the same position, her status is still significant since she is presently unique; all of _ the other classes are led by males. It is also true that several girls have joined the boys’ track and cross country teams, while one. athletically gifted young woman, Yvonne Van Ossenbruggen, is a member of the formerly all male crew team. Today’s clothing styles _ represent another type of broken tradition. For the last few years, jeans have been the unofficial student uniform, but not everyone lives in his jeans anymore. Now, student at Classical are wearing stylishly casual outfits more often. A poll taken of the student in our school indicates that the majority of people wear both jeans and dress clothes, depending on the weather or their individual moods. The rest of the students preferred only jeans or only dress clothes., 184 BROKEN 185 186 Index A Aaron, Fred 31 Aarons, Sue 74,117 Abeid, Mary 88 Abel, Joe 74 Aberdale, John 88 Abramowicz, Jeffrey 70
