From the first day of school when one gets lost trying to find the auditorium to the last day, after one has covered its seven floors, the Classical “maze’’ confronts everyone.

Classical offers a variety of courses and activities which present maze-like alternatives to all its students. With such complexity, some feelings that may result are confusion, not knowing which way to turn, or being in an unforeseen dead end. But all of the turns we have to take and the decisions we have to make keep the Classical student individual and ideal. As one’s courses through the school maze change, so do one’s thoughts and friendships. Although many new friends are found along the journey, 1.

Those friends who experience the Classical maze together and stay together, undoubtedly will, as life-long companions, look back warmly on memories of Classical. Classical is an obvious physical maze. Its original way of programming academic courses and its many alternatives for activities and clubs, demonstrate an even deeper psychological maze. The memories of 1978, which one will recall, will reflect both the physical and psychological aspects that make up the ways through the Classical maze. ing after having eaten lunch! 3.

WELL 8 [(@) STUDENT LIFE _ The cafeteria is probably the most versatile room in Classical. Aside from being the battleground on which Classical scholars squabble over who’s sitting where, who’s get- ting what to eat, and who left his tray on the table, the cafeteria is an ‘asset to those who utilize it in a number of ways. What better place to escape a noisy study hall and actually study? What better spot to catch up on a few winks than tucked in a corner of the cafeteria? What better place to hold meetings, or just congre- gate? Where would the sweet cheer- leaders be if they have no cafeteria to practice their jumps, bumps and splits? In the last few years the lunches seem to have stayed basically the same. However, this year students were able to exercise a freedom of choice by selecting from among four or five different lunches; the regular hot lunch, a variety of cold lunches, and a new inovation in the menu, alternative hot lunches. So, if one didn’t like the regular lunch, one could rely on the alternatives to get through those rough last periods. Despite the short time given to gobble down the “nutritional” lunch, one also is confronted with too few seats. Regardless of the long lunch lines, which help one relate to lab mice being shuttled through mazes in hopes of being rewarded PRAGCOUT with food, who can criticize the cafeteria when it offers so many possibilities? 1.

The Eastern States Exposition is the answer. The eighth largest fair in the United States, The “Big E” has a myriad of exhibits from all areas of New England. This variety of attractions draws thousands of high students every year, including a high percentage of Classical’s population who happily find their way through this entertaining maze of activities. For the amusement enthusiast, there are many forms of entertainment, ranging from the Giant Slide to the Lazer Light Concert and this year’s newest addition, Canon Manor, a haunted house. If one appreciates the art of hand-crafted items, the ‘Big E’” has something enjoyable for him too. “Big E” craftsmen create everything from intricate sterling jewelry to hand-dipped candles and capt haan leather accessories. In the Avenue of the States, one can learn a great deal about the six states that make up New England. In the display building for each state, one can find out a state’s major exports or its most popular sport. Because the Eastern States Exposition offers a pleasant maze-like variety of exhibits, it attracts a large number of people every year including many enthusiastic Classical students. 1.

Classical students are, in many ways, lucky to be an urban school ‘community. Being part of a city enables students to use municipal facilities as well as surround themselves with historical cities, both providing maze-like alternatives from which to choose. Probably the most useful building to Classical’s students is the City Library. Classical students with library passes often crack books there before an exam. Entire classes sometimes roam the floors and leave the librarians hiding under their desks. The four museums making up the Springfield Quadrangle have collections for everyone’s taste. The Culture Vultures, a Classical art lovers club, use the George Walter Vincent Smith Museum as convenient sources of study. The Connecticut Valley Historical Museum is the place to get a first hand look at Early American life in the local area, and the Science Museum is great for tracing one’s roots the Darwinian way. The Springfield Civic Center is also a social haven. Each spring it hosts the College Fair, representing over two hundred colleges nationwide. Classical basketball and wrestling matches held here draw spirited. crowds. The biggest crowds however, go to see superstars in concert. Could one ever forget ‘78 favorites like the Doobie Brothers, Earth, Wind and Fire or Jethro Tull? Downtown is waiting, full of things to do. Alternatives are every- where for the Classical student. 1. It’s easy to sit and relax at the Quadrangle. 2.

However, until that time, who couldn’t use some extra cash, either for the little necessities of student life, like munching out at McDonald’s, or maybe for adding up towards that college education? Thus, many students find themselves searching high, low, far and near, filling out applications, being interviewed and checking the want adds for a job. Those fortunate enough to have the rigors and demands of job- seeking pay off and actually get a job, often find that it’s rough to hold one down. With homework, class, work and social life, one just might wonder if his new source of income is really worth the trouble involved. 1. Filling out applications. 2.

Trying to squeeze in an hour or two of studying time can sometimes be from difficult to nearly impossible. Anyone who leads a life of all play and no work still has a chance, however slim, to make it through a test. One can try “cramming” in the final tense moments before an exam. Once the test is started however, there is no way out. Sweat breaks out on the brow, hair stands on end, and the brain goes into a sudden, but hopefully temporary, paralysis. Time goes by and the test is over-relief. SLOW TORTURE 1. Would Sheryl Greene, Terri Griffin, Scott Griffith, Mike Groveline, Gary Guravini, or Jeff Gramse know what the answer to number one is? 2.

An architectural extravagance is everpresent throughout Classical’s ‘‘maze”, but is it noticed? From the exterior, carved stone lion heads have gazed upon State Street and its student travelers, and have watched the changes and developments of each. These carvings, which almost surround the old section of the building, are situated beneath the shelter of a slate roof, trimmed with copper bands and ornate spindles. How many have been aware of their presence? The “maze” which is Classical has seven floors, and over two hundred rooms. On the attic floor, Classical’s topmost, is a cast-iron waterwheel. Although quite astonishing, it is easy to understand that the school was, at one time, run on waterpower. Below this floor are the three main floors, most widely traveled by Classical’s students and faculty. There are also a basement (cafeteria), sub-basement (gyms), and a lower-basement, which houses a rifle range. These floors are filled with obsolete “necessities.” Some of these necessities, if one has looked closely, are evident in the marble foyer, in the form of gas lamp outlets. Holes and protruding pipes on the stairs are clues to the once present i Sy ie sa a ta Lingering 0, eeeate, Matate, etete, Senet, fecenes tee PEE Me ee LE one” ont °, ° J 2, eo” aaseee® ere%s %e%e%e “aXe “e's “e%e%e lamps. Emergency gas lights, many of which are still present but have been converted to electrical fixtures, were also seen in Classical around the turn of the century. It seems that science was extremely important during the days of Classical’s youth. Evidence for this rests on the provision for an aquarium room, complete with fish tanks, palm trees, and a glass-roofed observatory. A conservatory was necessary for examining species of plants. Almost every room on the third floor has a skylight, a framed window on the ceiling, thought to be a contemporary innovation. These windows have since been covered with paint or boarded. Other details drawing little attention are the “black-out” shades on the auditorium loggia, meant to prevent light from being seen by enemy planes in the event of air raids, elegant arched ceilings, and double windows for insulation. Handy roll-up blackboards in some science rooms, and handwrought ironwork stair railings are other little-noticed details in the Classical maze. To see the uniqueness of this building’s design is a pleasure. Although it may be embarrassing, getting lost in Classical’s “maze” could be quite a learning experience. 6.2. 2, FEATURES [el 15 @QaNnce 2,0,9 0.9.9 Me? o%e%e Be ae ie Ee ee e586 OO esos, tee $e s.% 'e bes 9 , se es REARS Saee sgaseienes sire MON URION CRN y ‘1. fhe light shines through the audi- ‘fortum at the turn of the century. 2.

However, teachers can have problems as well. How? The way that teachers are sometimes treated in American society can be a source of frustration for many educators. Mr. Edward Lundrigan expressed his feelings on the matter of a teacher’s image by commenting that ‘Teachers are not treated as professionals.” This year, teachers lived with a sense of job insecurity because contract negotiations have been difficult. But even though teachers have experienced this pressure, they have maintained a high level of instruction at Classical. Classical students should feel fortunate because they are being educated by a committed and well-trained faculty. One staff member, Mr. David Macomber, clarified his feelings about teaching by stating that ‘Teaching can be both rewarding and frustrating; usually it is a combination of both. The teacher is constantly confronted with the challenge to communicate his specialty on different levels to students of varying abilities. It is this challenge, with its rewards and frustrations, that the majority of people never experience in their routine jobs.” Teachers, along with the family, are paramount Mr. John Sweeney-Assist. Principal Mr. Neil Yesu-Assist. Principal 18 [el FACULTY providers of “coping knowledge.” In other words, they aid more than most other sources in the forming of attitudes and behaviors which will help students function properly in society. Yet, teachers are sometimes regarded almost as though they are not needed. Mr. Lundrigan explained this attitude by stating, “Teachers are at the bottom of the totem pole and do not get the full consideration they require, even though they are the personnel that do the most educating. Of all professional people, teachers existing on one salary live within the smallest financial framework possible and when they are denied the very essentials of life, they find their security shaken and their attitudes toward work seriously hampered. A job well done should be rewarded with assurance and whatever basic essentials are necessary to allow one’s work to continue.” Mr. O’Donnell gallantly donates blood. Behind The News This year, Miss McCarthy’s Mass Media and Journalism class had the opportunity to learn about the business aspect of running a newspaper. Mr. Winston Cooper, a representative of the New York Times, one the most prestigious papers in the country, discussed the basic procedures of the business management of a newspaper. The journalism students learned that the business management of a newspaper depends upon advertisements. A financially sound newspaper must be about sixty percent advertising to forty per cent news. Therefore, advertisements become the sole financial support of a successful newspaper. A better understanding of the impact of advertisements was acquired by the students when Mr. Cooper stated that the back page of the Times would cost fifteen thousand dollars a day to be printed. Although his lecture was primarily concerned with advertising, Mr. Cooper also commented on the journalism aspect of a newspaper, and its many areas of coverage, such as features, sports, news stories, and editorials. He also pointed out the manner in which a journalism article is written, better known as the “inverted pyramid style.” Mr. Cooper observes Joe Danher’s journalistic work. The most amusing part of the lecture came last when Mr. Cooper displayed the famous “subway fold.” The subway fold, folding the Times in a complex manner for easier which was devised by the New York public, is the process of reading on subways.

Miss Patricia Keenan-English FACULTY fe) 19 Miss Mary Corcoran — Counselor Mrs. Audrey Desrochers — Gym Togetherness In 1977-'78 there were no longer separate girls’ and boys’ physical education classes at Classical. The two sexes joined together in gym classes having an equal number of boys and girls. Co-education made it a unique year in physical education for teachers and students alike. Even though classes were co-ed, the program included all of its usual activities: badminton, basketball, dancing (modern and square), floor hockey, gymnastics, volleyball, wrestling, and yoga. Techinques were also taught for tennis and golf. Students’ views on co-ed gym varied. Some seemed to find it great. Others took a few things into consideration saying such things as “It depends on the activity,” or “It depends on the kids in the group.” Many people just seemed to find it “O.K.” Teachers’ views also varied. Although co-ed classes are mandatory by state law, Mrs. Kelly, for one, didn’t feel that co-ed gym should be mandatory. She did feel however that it was a good idea for the boys and girls to be together. Mr. Stratton’s opinion was that “It is hard to group according to their (the students) skills, because of the fact that there were three different grade levels; ninth, tenth, and eleventh in each class.” 20 (ce) FACULTY Mrs. Jean Bogan — English Pe 7 rig Ray Hunter has his hands full. Joel Axler watches Tracy Hoffman. Mrs. Desrochers expressed somewhat greater dissatisfaction with the co-ed program. She felt that one should be able to choose between a multitude of activities whether the classes were co-ed or not. Mr. McLaughlin’s ideas differed from the others. He felt that co-ed gym added a positive social dimension to the gym classes. Co-ed gym certainly made it a unique year for every teacher and student involved. Mr. David Meder — History . Ly ® : i z .

Many teachers choose to work in Springfield particularly because of such advantages. For instance, there are many places for excellent field trips for Classical’s various classes. This year, students from Miss McCarthy's journalism class were able to visit the Springfield Newspapers; students from Mr. Kokonowski’s English classes visited Stage West to view a play; the psychology classes went to Monson State Hospital, and the American Studies class visited Sturbridge Village. One teacher at Classical, Mrs. Erline Provost stated that “Springfield has provided for me the opportunity to be involved with fine young people, to share the wonders of the living world through the science of biology, and to enjoy the intellectual life and cultural diversity that can only be found in a city environment.” Although students find this city environment particularly useful in schooling, they also discover something else just as important; they find a future in the city for a variety of careers and educational opportunities after high school. When the time comes, many students will choose to work in this city. 21 [fe] FACULTY Mrs. Shirley Harrington-Office Then... and Now Classical has changed a good deal since some of its present teachers attended school here themselves. Classical was known as the best college preparatory school in the area. The academic pressures here were very strong; most Classical students felt considerable pressure to make the honor roll. Years ago, Classical also had no general program. Today the academic situation at Classical is somewhat different. Although a student still receives a good education here, the academic atmosphere seems less severe, more relaxed. There is generally a younger faculty to relate with than there was years ago. Some of the teachers who received their high school educations here are: Mr. Dinnie, Ms. Keenan, Miss McCarthy, Mr. Macomber, Mrs. Mushok, Mr. Podworski, and Ms. Tammi. These teachers have generally agreed that they enjoy teaching the student body here. Miss McCarthy stated, “The kids are special, and it is a privilege and pleasure to work with them.” She still thinks that Classical is the great school it has always been. “Teachers learn from students,” Mr. Dinnie stated. The learning process at Classical is not just a one-way street; the student-teacher relationship aids in the Mr. Henry Brady-English Here’s the famous Dinnie smile. learning process. Many teachers expressed the view that a few years ago students feared their teachers, making it difficult for students to ask questions. Today, the atmosphere is more relaxed, and students recognize their teachers as being human. Mr. Robert Farr-Science eae ERE RR Ms. Camp relaxes like a typical artist. 22 |[e] FACULTY Mr. Arnold Matz-Language Mr. Daniel McLaughlin-Gym Mrs. June Schoppe-Art Mr. Robert Stevens-Math Learning: a two-way Street If a Classical student were flunking a subject this year, at least he had something to look forward to, and that was being tutored. This year at Classical, students were provided with improved facilities for tutoring. Instead of being in the counselors’ office, which could get very distracting when trying to study, the tutoring room was changed to room 139. Tutoring aids Classical students a great deal. Sometimes it is difficult for a teacher to take the time to individually explain a point to a student during class, and that is how the tutoring process benefits the student, for with a tutor, students can get individualized instruction. The tutors at Classical are all volunteers and are usually obtained through the National Honor Society or through one Poem teree comer inevexpertice witht Deidra of the counselors.

FACULTY |[@ 23 Mrs. Smith takes a routine call Miss Carolina Accorsi - Language Mr. Arthur Barnes - English The Psychology Boom Over the past four year, the psychology course at Classical has had a 300% increase in enrolled students. The reason for the growth, as explained by psychology teacher Mrs. Iris Danforth, is due mainly to the fact that she and Mr. Clark Henderson, a psychology teacher, decided in‘1975 to rewrite the psychology curriculum and expand the course. The new curriculum limited the straight lectures and began using totally new techniques making'the course more interesting and challenging. The students were encouraged to become more involved so that they would become active contributors to the course and at the same time would be learning. Although Mrs. Danforth found that she had no discipline problems with her students, she did find one minor negative aspect in her larger classes, which was that she was not able to work with students individually as sucessfully as she could have in smaller classes. Some of the psychology topics covered in the course are learning theory, theories of personality, drug and alcohol abuse, and psychological testing. The psychology classes also took field trips to Monson State Hospital and Hampden County House of Correction. A guest speaker from the State Welfare Department discus sed child abuse with the class, and clinical 24 |(2] FACULTY Mr. Gerald Canter - Counsler Miss Sandra Camp - Art Miss Isabelle Brown w - Librarian ; ie ha Serene 2s 7 aR REE Le (ult BLFOCSLS psychologist Dr. Jack Patten discussed the relationship of the mind and the body, and psychogenic illnesses. All of these additions to usual classroom activities contributed to the growing popularity of the course. “Teaching At Its Best’ Miss Linda Tammi an English and psychology teacher, feels that a teacher should be able to enjoy the student-teacher relationship to bring out the most in a learning situation. She explains this by saying, ‘For me, teaching at its best has always meant sharing ... sharing an enthusiasm for a field of study.” In order for a teacher to teach a subject well, she must enjoy it thoroughly and must be able to communicate both a understanding and a respect for the field to her student. Miss Tammi expresses her feelings for English saying, “I like teaching English because I enjoy sharing a love of reading and of learning to write.” Psycho logy is a course which studies human behavior and some of its many mysteries. Miss Tammi expresses her interest in the course by saying, “Teaching psychology this year has been really exciting. It has given me a chance to share a curiosity about human Miss Tammi checks over Jeff Jordan’s yearbook copy. behavior, a topic which always engages me.” Mr. Paul Robbins - Music Mrs. Linda Rozzi - Math Mr. David Macomber - Language % Mr. James O’Donnell-Science Mrs. Lyons adjusts a pressure cooker. Mr. Raymond Lussier - Language FACULTY [f@ 25 Popular Potting The number of students enrolling in the senior painting course, (Art 4) and the pottery course (Art 3), has been steadily increasing. The swelling numbers have been partly due to favorable publicity from students who took the courses last year. They expressed their enthusiasm for the course to friends who evidently decided to try the courses for themselves. Ms. Camp teaches the senior painting course which includes basic drawing, water color techniques, acrylics, oil painting, stretching canvases, and painting on different surfaces. She feels that the course is an introductory class for those who wish to major in art in college. Ms. Camp also teaches the pottery class for seniors and juniors. This course teaches hand building and wheel techniques using clay to make objects. It also includes glazing and general designing of an object. However, there has been one frustrating aspect to Ms. Camp’s job. There has always been a long waiting period for art supplies which Ms. Camp has to order well in advance of courses, even though she might not know the number of students that she may have in the art classes. Therefore, she has had to estimate the Mrs. Julia Bale-Math Mr. Francis Baron-Biology Mr. Jerome Sha y in deep thought. 26 |e] FACULTY Maria Ashettino isn’t making clay pancakes. quantity of supplies that she will be needing, which has sometimes meant a shortage of supplies.

Mr. Michael Ligarski-Math Dr. Philip Miller-Language SSSSSSSS== Mr. David Douglas caught by surprise. Artrul Drafters Mr. Donovan’s drafting course has not been widely acknowledged since Classical is chiefly a college preparatory school. Workshop classes are not usually stressed, for it has been thought that workshop courses were better fit for vocational schools. Therefore, many Classical students have probably not even been aware that a drafting course has been taught at Classical. Mr. Donovan also teaches woodshop and is starting a photography course. Although Mr. Donavan’s course is chiefly male- dominated, he does have some females in his classes. One of the girls in his drafting class is Kathy LaMotte, a senior. She decided to take the course because in college she would like to major in engineering. The only problem with the course as she saw it was that she and other girls in the class would sometimes be teased by the boys in the class. Mr. Donovan feels that the drafting course and courses like it should be stressed more, so that students, particularly those interested in civil engineering, would learn about construction by building structures in miniature. In this way, students might be able to better understand the problems involved in building a house or a business operation. Mr. James Nodurf-Math Mr. Gary Watson-Counselor FACULTY el 27 Mr. Euclid Lague - Language Mr. Edward Lundrigan - Science “Dead Language Lives Latin, formerly known as a “dead” language, has been resurrected at Classical. From among the foreign languages available to students, many have chosen to study Latin, the mother tongue of the Romance languages. Miss Carolina Accorsi, Classical’s only Latin teacher, feels that, “Latin opens one’s mind to an old civilization to which we owe a great deal.” She also believes that a knowledge of Latin is helpful in the study of English. Her students agree. This year’s Latin I pupils expressed that an appreciation of their own language was due to what they were learning in Latin class. Knowing this base language also led to a greater understanding of French, Italian, and Spanish, all derived from Latin. A beginning Latin student undertakes quite a task. He must master five declensions of nouns and four conjugations of verbs, as well as muddle through a labyrinth of special adjectives and adverbs. Both the teacher and the students enjoy Latin. Many members of the Latin I class continue the study to Latin II. Miss Accorsi looks forward to seeing former students again. Why? As Miss Accorsi says, “I like to be instrumental in helping to open minds into the Classical world.” Althea Stafford ponders verb endings.

Mrs. Jeannette Scheehser - Office Mr. Jerome Shea - Science Teaching Tribulations Mrs. Audrey Szlachetka - Science “As long as there is a need to learn, there is a need to teach.” This practical view is that of Mrs. Frances Evans, a Classical Social Studies teacher. In discussing her reasons for teaching, Mrs. Evans stated that she would not choose any other profession if she were given the chance to do so. Although many teachers enjoy their work, the teaching situation is not perfect. Teaching this year in Springfield posed many problems. Many faculty members were involved in lengthy contract negotiations which included a controversial residency requirement question. Another key issue was a “work- to-rule” effort proposed by the Springfield Federation of Teachers. For the most part, the faculty continued to participate in non-paying extra- curricular activities in spite of the proposal. These teachers willingly gave up their own time to hold advisory positions in various Classical clubs. High school is a learning experience for faculty members as well as students. As time goes on, the need to learn will increase. At Classical, the faculty will answer that need. FACULTY [[q] 29 Sub Service Not all of Classical’s faculty members feel secure in their positions. Some, known as permanent substitutes, are often unsure of the status of their teaching jobs at Classical. Permanent substitutes are qualified teachers hired for extended periods of time without contracts. Before they are hired on contract, they must be approved by the Springfield School Committee. The work done by these teachers does not differ from that of tenured teachers. After a permanent substitute has worked in a certain school for forty consecutive days, he is paid the same salary as are the contract teachers. Permanent and long-term subs are basically in the same position. However, a permanent substitute is usually hired for an entire school year. A long-term sub may be employed for a shorter period of time. Classical’s faculty includes six permanent subs. Miss Baadj, Mrs. Devlin, Ms. Keenan, Mr. Rieker, Mrs. Simmons, and Ms. Tammi are all classified as permanent substitutes. As a teacher, a permanent sub is entitled to the same advantages as a tenured teacher. However, one disadvantage Ms. Pat Keenan gives her views on the plight of subs. is that there is no feeling of job security. A permanent sub has no idea of the duration of his position. The school has rehire a substitute. no obligation to rehire a substitute.

Students who study independently are also bound by contract. Students having conflicts in their schedules have the option of taking conflicting classes on a one-to-one basis with the subject teachers. These independent studies are arranged by written consent. This contract is drawn up by the student, subject teacher, and principal, in accordance with the department head. Each must agree to the terms set forth in the agreement. Provisions for objectives, research, and criteria for evaluation are made in the document. Several Classical seniors were involved in independent studies. Pamela Davis and Denise Ruggeri elected to study anthropology with Mr. Young. Emily Cummings studied both Latin II and photojournalism independently. Dione Longley studied Latin III]. Martin Kadansky chose Math 4p and Violet Campbell traveled to A.I.C. to study calculus. In an independent subject, a teacher and student may devote all their time to what the other is saying. The teacher's full attention may be devoted at all times to only one student. Alone, the student does not feel peer pressure and may ask questions more readily. Mistakes can be Bio i 7 Miss Isabel Brown in her natural habitat. Students pursue independent studies. analyzed more deeply and explained in detail. A drawback, though actually beneficial to the student, is that there is no chance to do unfinished homework or to get help from a classmate. All work must be completed on time. A teacher with an independent study usually gives up his own time in order to teach. This is done during homeroom, the teacher’s study or unassigned period, or after school. Most teachers are willing to do this because it allows them to instruct someone who normally would not have the opportunity. Independent studies are not new. Trudy Crissock, a 1974 graduate, studied Latin IV independently. Classical has stressed intellectual independence in the past, and with the creation of independent study, will continue to do so.

Miss Tammi supervised an eight-week vocational information unit, designed to increase students’ understanding of the “world of work.” Each student focused on developing career plans, and on learning job acquisition skills. Students also increased their career awareness by investigating personal value systems, by hearing guest speakers who represented different career areas, by researching a personal career choice, and by writing career source papers. The most challenging aspect of the course was “shadowing.” Classical High was the first city school to participate in a “shadowing” program. The purpose of the program was to give students an on-the-job experience. Students spent an entire work day, or two at a job site similar or related to their career interests. Local hospitals, businesses and schools cooperated to provide students with this opportunity.

Miss Barbara Weissbrod-math Beginning Vs. Ending Many students at Classical and other high schools often wonder about their futures. It is not rare for students to conceive vague notions of their lives beyond high school. Mr. William Conway, a Classical teacher for many years, has advised students, “As you leave Classical and enter our materialistic society, remember it as a beginning, not as an end.” In other words, if one believes he is just beginning after high school, he will have an open mind, and will always strive for higher things. But, if one believes it is the end, then he will have no motivation left, consequently rejecting a striving for higher and better things. The futures of students depend largely upon what it is that they choose to believe. The strength and power of one’s attitudes can be remarkable. Students will use their attitudes when interacting in society, and because societies today are more complex than ever, the beliefs that students follow must serve them well. Having an open mind to the future after high school, seeing the future as a beginning, not as an end, can bring students into the future with a sense of expectation and excitement.

Adam, a custodian who has worked here for five and a half years, has spread goodwill and laughter among teachers and students alike. Adam, a dependable, able worker, has gotten along so well with Classical students that a day without him would seem unnatural. He expressed his feelings about students by commenting, “I feel as if I’ve been accepted. They treat me very good.” Adam has been described in many ways in student comments, such as: “Without Adam, lunch wouldn't be lunch. He’s a great nut, and some of his crazy jokes are even funny,” or “Adam is the greatest guy. He can make the rules at Classical seem like jokes,” and last, “Adam holds the key to my heart as well as 2,473 other keys. No wonder this place is so much like a prison.” Through his many years, Adam has been a well-loved figure and a great human being who has earned the respect of many Classical students. One of the few times Adam is caught with his mouth closed.

When presented with a schedule the first day of school, he probably groaned at the sight of an “A-something” for a room number. His first consideration is how to get out of the long journey, but after being turned down by his counselor, who refuses to let him go through high school without sophomore English, he resigns himself to the daily trek to his class in the annex. During the fall and spring, it is rather enjoyable to wander over to the annex. Get a breath of fresh air ... check out the smells that waft over on the wind from the church property . admire the trees lining State Street ... it is a pleasant journey. But, when the cold weather sets in, and the wind | whistles through the bare branches, a Classical student is } more likely to scurry quickly over toward his destiny, ignoring the scenery. Throughout the year, how many times will Classical students notice the policeman as he stands on State Street serving the public? Mr. James Stevens, Classical’s own friendly officer, stands sturdily amidst the hustle and bustle of the cars, directing people and traffic with confident motions. By the end of the year, the typical annex-goer has found himself a “crowd.” They troop over together, and wait at the J end of the period for the trip back. And when one is not alone, the excursion doesn’t turn out so bad after all.

Presit Start In 1977-78, the Classical community welcomed several new student members. These students made up the freshman class. Although they were sometimes literally lost in a large school, with a great amount of effort, they soon learned the in’s and out’s of finding one’s way about a maze-like Classical. In a short time, the freshman class showed strong leader- ship capabilities, in spite of the fact that they began working with the severe disadvantage of not having a class adviser. However, this did not stop them. The freshman officers held meetings and began to plan their schedule for the school year. Some of the fund-raising activities which they planned to have were: a car wash, a bake sale, and a carnation sale. In addition, the freshmen planned to hold a marathon dance.

English °7¢ Original speakers of English would be shocked at the state of their language today. They might “freak-out” (go berserk) upon being called “space-shot’” (out of touch with reality), when certain their names were other than Apollo. If called “swine” (S-WINE), or on hearing “pig-out” (to eat excessively), would they probably think of a pig-pen or a ham sandwich? Being called “gross”, in this day and age, does not mean one has gained fity pounds, but that he looks “grungy”, that is, poorly groomed. If someone were to yell “shoot”, (a modification of a more offensive word), he wouldn’t expect to hear a gunshot. A “riot” does not involve anti-war demonstrations and National Guardsmen battling crowds in the streets. Instead, it refers to a joke which, by the way, is not “very” funny, but, more popularly, “so” funny. Creative use of adjectives has become uncommon, so that the basic choices when describing seem unfortunately to be limited to an obscenity, on one hand, and “excellent” on the other. “Bad” is good, and “gay” is a sad state of affairs. Colloquial sentences in 1978 end in “you know?” and are answered by “really?” Sires and forerunners of the noble English language, welcome to English ’78. The revisers of the English language. UNDERCLASSMEN [fe] 41 Tough Stwki Many sophomores this year found out what it was like to leave the safe, secure confines of their junior highs and venture out into the central city. Amid the jungle sky scrapers, the highschool bus chugged up State Street humming “I think I can ...” It didn’t take long for them to realize that life at Classical was not going to be a party. Telltale signs of tension appeared: frayed fingernails, bloodshot eyes, pallid faces. The culprits: the test in social studies on Friday, the quiz in biology next period, the report due on the The Pearl. Yet, these problems seemed trivial compared to Classical’s ultimate test: The Final. It became only too clear to the distressed sophomore that a 45 minute homeroom period was not sufficient to finish that twenty page report assigned three weeks earlier. Friday night parties were non- existant for the last minute crammer. Life became a maze. It was not in vain! Next year they would be ready for term paper ... ! 1.

Sweet Suceess If one were to look back on the year 1977-78, one might think about a potential weight gain. First, there was the lollipop craze; then several groups were selling candy bars. These sales were followed by major holidays, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas, which encouraged one to eat, eat, eat. However, one main reason one might think about his weight gain would be the memory of the fantastic Sophomore Bake Sale. On the tenth of November, several members representing the sophomore class gathered together in the small cafeteria to hold their calorie-laden fund-raiser. The bake sale was to run during all three lunch periods. Not only was the bake sale a good way to earn money, but it also showed out outstanding leadership qualities of the sophomore class. Since the class did not have a faculty adviser at that time, the bake sale had to rely solely on the sophomores for its planning and execution. In charge of the fund-raiser was Sharon Yesu. Also on the committee to bake and sell items were Susan Goldberg, Lori Mercieri, Donna Curpenski, Michelle Maurice, Kim Tameran and Donna Bellucci.

Since the beginning of time, students have been plagued with red tape; for instance, remembering “the note.” Being absent one day guarantees a hounding from one’s homeroom teacher until the precious piece of paper is returned and in the safe clutches of one of the Classical’s assistant principals. Without it, a detention sentence loomis overhead like a vulture. In order to leave Classical ten minutes early for a dentist appointment, there is again the note to remember, the official O.K., and the writing out of an early dismissal pass. Classical students have also been burdened with “the pass.” Wake up late, and one must obtain a yellow late pass from the hectic office. Before making a bee-line to the bathroom a legitimate pass has to be written out by one’s classroom teacher. Such a procedure often wastes valuable time for both the teacher and the student. While Classical preaches academic excellence, and has stressed both advanced courses and higher education, it sometimes seems odd that it also insists on collecting notes and passes, which takes time from more academic pursuits. 1.

This year the junior class decided that selling lollipops would be its fund-raising activity. Under the supervision of class adviser, Mrs. Mushok, Joseph Deburro, class president; Sandra Stanbovsky, vice-president; and Joanne Spinelli, representative, met during the summer to plan the fund-raiser. When school began, the lollipop sale was under way. Although two cases or twenty-four box of lollipops were ordered, due to their tremendous popularity, by the end of the third day, the juniors had to order more. The lollipop sale was successful for several reasons. First, the price fit into a student’s meager budget; they cost only a dime. Thus, the junior class made approximately five cents on each lollipop. Second, lollipops last a long time. In addition, they come in either sweet or sour flavors, such as grape, orange, or lemon.

UNDERCLASSMEN|(e] 51 Tomm«y Gets The IXeys Driver’s education has been a welcome alternative to wearing a distasteful gym uniform for one marking period in one’s junior year. The course was designed to give Classical’s students thirty hours classroom driving instruction which could be helpful in two ways. It would make students eligible for less expensive insurance bills and would given them a chance to learn how to deal with specific driving problems before actually getting behind a wheel. Mr. Tipton, who taught the class, made his lessons interesting and informative. He spiced up a mundane subject with anecdotes and personal stories from his long driving experience. On Fridays, Mr. Tipton, along with textbook learning and lectures, offered the class another unforgettable feature, movies that illustrated driving techniques and safety measures. Some of these movies came to be dramatic classics in their own right. For instance, how could one say he had taken a driver's education course at Classical without having seen “Tommy Gets The Keys”, a moving story that shows Tommy “dragging” and shows Betty, proving her true admiration for Tommy. Also, one can not overlook the tear-jerkers and heart-breakers like “So Long Pal”. Watching Mike, another character, relapse into his drinking and driving habit only to run off the road into a tree was a traumatic moment for film viewers in the class. These truly touching movies have given juniors something more exciting than term papers to look back on and sophomores something to look forward to. accident. 3.

UNDERCLASSMEN je oe BACK -LlO-Wakwre Could it be that Classical’s trend-conscious student took a giant step backwards in 1977-78? Back to nature that is. Signs popped up everywhere. The candy machine that once boasted sugar-coated, chemically-treated goodies began to carry “health foods”. Raisin and nut mixtures descended from the shoot. The cafeteria widened the tastebuds alternatives by offering four new nutritious lunches includ- ing tunafish scoop with lettuce, egg salad, cottage cheese and hot sandwiches, instead of limiting the choice to pizza and Fritos. Increased interest in nature activities sent many students exploring the Outdoors Club. This allowed time for “bus” student to appreciate natural beauty in the great outdoors. Other Classical students found that passing up the bus and walking home provided good exercises and entertainment. As a direct result of this earthy style of life, a new day dawned in the fashion world. Many Classical students came down off of eight-inch heels and eased their toes into comfy earth shoes, sneakers, and Docksiders. Sweaters became practical, thick and bulky, to insure warmth on those extra-cold winter mornings. Winter hats and mittens were no longer shunned as “uncool”. Heat-retaining down vests and jackets were the biggest hit since jeans. One explanation of the back-to-nature craze was that it compensated for the typically hectic daily lives of students in the seventies. Slowing down the pace in the maze, allowing simplicity to creep in, was what some students needed to stay sane. 1. Maria McClellan and Katie Danaher are back to nature gals. 2.

SPRINGFIELD, MASE | Foot Stomping Fever “Give me a ‘C’-’C!” “R-O-W-D-I-E That’s the way to spell Rowdy” “Let’s go! Let’s go! Let’s really go!” These chants represent a sampling of the many slogans that one has heard at Classical pep rallies this year. On particular homeroom periods, classes would venture to the auditorium, intending to raise “spirit”. The auditorium would be charged with a joyous atmosphere, accented with colored streamers hung on the stage and with a banner affixed to the wall proclaiming “Classical High is the best!” The band began by trumpeting the rousing call-’Cheer!” This was followed by Classical’s song “Blue and White.” With the band finished playing, the cheerleaders ran through the aisles of the auditorium up onto the stage to lead the students in spirited cheers and slogans. Students joined in by clapping hands, stomping feet, and shouting. These pep-rallies, great successes, have made students feel closer to their school and also a greater part of it. All those who participated agreed that, “North, south, east, and west-Classical High is the best!” 4. The cheerleaders prepare to “pep up” the students. 5. The band warms up to start the rally.

A visitor entering the yearbook room, 206, or the newspaper room, A-7, would be astonished at the variety of activities going on. Being in one of these homerooms is quite different from being in any of the other homerooms in the school. Recorder homeroom is a busy place. During homeroom periods on Tuesdays and Thursdays, there are always different kinds of things to do. Whether it is attending a staff meeting, typing an article, taking photographs, or interviewing interesting subjects, there is always a busy hum emanating from the “Brady Bunch.” The same is true of the activities of the yearbook staff. No time is wasted, especially near deadlines, when much worked-over lay-outs litter the room, final copies of stories are checked before sending them to Kansas for printing, and photographs are analized and cropped for the book. Whereas typical homeroom students tend to regard homeroom period as a study, the two literary staff homerooms’in Classical are exceedingly involved in making this year’s newspaper and yearbook the best ever. UU SACTIVITIES)? : GWG US AMOR SSLO DEM COA SSER MITE UMEIMS S Wed eFC MECH a Extra, Extra ... While one is sitting in homeroom, comtemplating reading one’s one hundred page English assignment due next peri- od, or just examining the insides of one’s eyelids, a motley group interrupts the scene, deposits a stack of newspapers, and then, instantly hustles to the next room. Homeroom students, pleasantly rescued from boredom, avidly grab copies of Classical’s newspaper, the Recorder, and with ex- citement, the newsprint is read. However, after the paper is read, only the “Annex Urchins” know where it goes. But, a more intriguing question is, where do those newspapers come from? The answer is the Recorder homeroom of course! The Recorder staff is supervised by Mr. Henry Brady. With his guidance, the Recorder staff, made of juniors and sen- iors, works and prepares the Recorder for publication. The preparation of the newspaper is a complex process. Junior reporters act on assignments by researching and writing stories. After the drafts are written, the senior edi- tors proofread them. Then the seniors design page layouts, including copy, photographs, and graphics. The proofs are then sent to the printers. After printing, the pages are re- viewed by the entire staff which comments on what went wrong, and tries to find out how to correct any errors. The Recorder is one of the best things that Classical had going for it this past year. It was the only literary organiza- tion whose function was to comment on how the school is run. What is not usually understood by outsiders is that Recorder has had no outside help from anyone, including photographers, artists, or teachers. It is an entirely autono- mous organization. The Recorder is also an award-winning publication, which adds prestige to the Classical and Springfield name. 1.

This year was no different, for there were posters for the S.T. Drive, carnation sales, and the Blue and White sale, among others. This year, the Art Service Homeroom also prepared silk-screened Christmas cards, station- ary, and T-shirts for sale at Classical this year. Students who enjoy art and like to participate in craft- making, join the Art Ser- vice Homeroom. They work during their home- room periods to create the many artistic forms needed to publicize a variety of school activities. The Art Service Homeroom has been under the supervision of Mrs. June Schoppe. It worked hard to design and produce the mediums which helped students make choices through the Classical High maze. 1.

After losing a second game to Chicopee Comprehensive, they were eliminated from fur- ther competition. The first match, played against Rock- ville High School from Rockville, Connecticut, saw the two schools battle for the lead in the first half. After a short break, the Classical team consisting of seniors Janet : Andrewes, Violet Campbell, and Eric Pomerantz, and CLASSICAL junior Michael Murray returned to take the lead for the remaining half of the game. The final score stood Classi- cal 210; Rockville 130. The second game proved to much for the Bulldog team players as they bowed to Chicopee Comp. 135 to 190. Junior alternate Kathy Quirk substituted for the absent Eric Pomerantz during the contest. Capitalizations proved the different in this match with Chicopee picking i up Classical’s unanswered questions. Steve Montibello we As a e¢ Schools Match Wits oe was the second Classical alternate. Several members of the team noted that the games were Pesan in the first tapings of the season and suggested that next as year’s group be organized a year sooner, so that the team can benefit from more practice time.

Under the astute and enthusiastic supervision of Miss Marilyn Freedman, the students of the Blue and White business homeroom 313 managed all the business transactions for the yearbook. Their duties involved persuading local businesses and residents to advertise in the Blue and White, and taking students’ yearbook orders. Congratulations are in order for their exceptional, record- setting fund-raising drive, in which over two thousand dollars in ads were secured by this staff. It was a year of change for the Blue and White business staff. This year, business members secured yearbook or- ders instead of having homeroom representatives collect yearbook deposits as in previous years. Also, Miss Freed- man replaced Mrs. Duffy as adviser of the staff. Conse- quently, the homeroom moved from room 238 to room Slo: Impress yourself! 1.

Creative Corner Scribe, Classical’s literary magazine, has completed one of its most successful years. Compiled from selected con- tributions, Scribe presents some of Classical students’ best work in prose, poetry, art, and photography. The twelfth grade Creative Writing class, taught by Mrs. Jean Bogan, oversees the- production of the magazine. In an effort to increase contributions, the 12w class sent Scribe representatives to every English class promoting interest in Scribe, and placing contribution boxes in each room. Posters drawn by the Art Service homeroom adver- tised fundraising events and Scribe sales. In past years, securing sufficient funds to publish Scribe had been a problem. However, this year federal money and several fundraising activities permitted the printing of a larger magazine. The traditional carnation sales, long a major source of income, were supplemented by a highly successful lollipop sale. Four hundred dollars from Chap- ter 636 sent the total budget well above previous years. Staff members expressed great pleasure in the results of the year’s work, and hoped that in future years Scribe would continue to increase in quality. ye croioc 1.

That’s what it takes to become and remain a member of the Classical varsity cheerleaders, those chosen few who re- present Classical’s school spirit and pride. The varsity cheerleaders, thirteen in all, go through the routine of practicing cheers, cartwheels and splits every Tuesday and Thursday during homeroom period, often having to stay after school to continue practice. ha The eight junior varsity cheerleaders usually practice with the varsity, but must often work harder, due to the fact that they are competing for varsity positions. The cheerleaders are probably one of the most patient and devoted group of girls anywhere. They have to put up with going to away games after a rough day of school, games which might take them as far away as Granby or Greenfield. They also must contend with bad weather when attending outdoor events. ws Another spirited representative of Classical, is the elite group of majorettes.

The Foreign Language Club gives Classical students an opportunity to do these things and more. The foreign exchange students talk about their country and share their feelings towards it. Last year, the club’s first year, was very successful. Under the super- vision of Mrs. Mazzei, the club quickly became a viable group. The major event the Foreign Language Club had was the Foreign Exchange weekend. Sixty exchange students from all over Western Massachu- setts and northern Connecti- cut came to Springfield for a weekend in April. They at- tended classes and activities planned by the members of the Foreign Language Club. One of the activities planned for the weekend was a very successful dance. As a fund-raiser, the mem- bers sold calendars to lower the cost of the weekend. Membership this year was good, but the club hoped for an increase in the future. 1.

The annual Halloween Party, held in Winchester Square, was a bigger success than it had been in any previous year, with about 200 participants. For Black History Week, the group performed skits, held discussions, and created booths pertaining to prominent Black people throughout history. This year’s club averaged a membership of at least three times last year’s number. Secretary Regina Miller com- mented that “This year’s Classical Afro-Am members are more willing to get involved in the cultural and educa- tional activities of the group.” The Afro-Am Club had elected officers to help organize its activities. Dinah Shaw, Shasha Underdue, Regina Miller, Cheryl Brown, and Tony Westbrook make up the executive board of the group. This board helped organize the successful group fund-raisers such as. selling lolli- pops and bulletin boards. Mr. Barnes, the adviser for the past couple of years, has helped out tremendously, mak- ing Afro-Am one of the most popular, active, and worth- while clubs at Classical. 1.

There was great interest in the club because students wanted to get out in the clean, open country and away from the city with its crowds and pollu- tion. Others participated to get into shape or to keep fit by hiking, biking and cross-country sking. The Outdoor Club was or- ganized by Mr. Schmid, the adviser, and Raymond Masse, its president. Offi- cers of the Outdoor Club are Robert Rubin, treasur- er, and Tracy Hoffman, fund-raising chairman. The club’s first activity was an all-day hike in the Cathedral Pines of the Ap- palachian Trails in Crom- well, Connecticut. Clad in jeans, hiking boots, and layers of shirts and sweat-_ ers, the hearty group of twelve spent the sunny, but chilly day hiking in the mountains. They enjoyed nature’s beauty and relax- ation in the prime of fall foliage and towering pines. Besides hiking, the Out- door Club had planned other activities. Among them were camping, bicy- cling, and cross-country skiing. A major outing of camping and hiking in New Hampshire’s Mount Washington was anticipat- ed for spring vacation. 70 |(@] OUTDOOR CLUB oe 1 2 +, bya. n - 7 ‘ - se fe you brought the right Hmond Masse aids Mir- monte, an unsuspecting 3.

Blade Runners With flashing blades of steel, Classical’s intramural skat- ers gathered at Cyr Arena to have fun and to improve their skating style. Beginners had the option of clutching the edge of the rink or braving the ice. Both advanced and beginning skaters could call on the services of the Cyr Arena resident skating pro to learn or to improve their “one-foot glide,” “bunny-hop,” “T-stop” or the more advanced “spiral” and “backward cross-over.” a7 ss The group, consisting of nine girls from Classical and a few participants from Putnam and Tech, met once a week on Wednesday. At this point, the group has been loosely organized, having no student leader. Advisers for the group were Mrs. Tarczynski and Miss Rozzi, who said they had planned to go skating with the group, so they enjoyed being there as advisers. Most of the skaters said they liked skating and partici- pated just for fun. One girl stated that her reason for joining was “to meet new friends and different people with the same interest.” For more proficient skaters there are, however, other rewards besides just having fun. As a skater becomes more advanced, she is rewarded with different degrees of badges. A few of skaters have com- pleted as far as the sixth badge out of twelve. These badges act as rewards for the skater’s achievements. By the end of the nine-week program, many of the beginners had become quite advanced. The skaters had the chance to continue their practice when the program was contin- ued for nine weeks in he:spring. 1.

SKATING CLUB|(@] 71 The Top Twenty The Madrigal singers form the smallest and most select of Classical’s four choral groups. In demand throughout : the Greater Springfield area, the Madrigals performed in almost two dozen concerts. The busiest time for the group was the Christmas season when it sang for a wide variety of public and private organizations as well as in Classical’s own annual Christmas Concert. While five of Madrigal’s twenty singers were veterans from the previous year, the remaining were chosen in auditions held the previous spring. Twelve of the Madri- gal singers were also accepted into Western District Cho- rus, which consists of the best voices in Western Massa- chusetts high schools. Six of the Madrigals were recom- mended for The All State Chorus. Both of these exclusive concerts were held at the University of Massachusetts. The most important of all the Madrigal concerts was the Formal Concert performed at the end of each school year. Containing Madrigal’s best selections, this year’s concert featured soloists in voice and on piano. The quality of this year’s performances has maintained Madrigal’s highly esteemed reputation.

Violinists Karen Korzen- ewski, Denise Ruggeri, and Leslie High Strung The orchestra is one of the most difficult musical groups in which to per- form. String instruments must be carefully tuned be- fore each rehearsal and performance because the slightest discrepancy in pitch is easily noticed. The sound of the string instru- ments is enriched by a small group of wind in- struments. Together, they produce a full orchestra sound. The string section of the orchestra rehearses sixth period each day in room B- 17. The wind and percus- sion players join the strings for rehearsals dur- ing homeroom periods. even with this limited amount of rehearsal time, the orchestra is able to pre- pare for its performances. These performances in- clude the annual Christ- mas and Spring concerts. It seems that each year the Classical Orchestra im- proves a little more. This year’s orchestra perfor- mances, under the skillful hand of conductor Mr. John Christie, were no ex- ception. Vercellone employ all their skills in concert. 3.

ORCHESTRA (e) 73 Students Helping Students While walking through the winding halls of Classical’s maze, one undoubtedly sees a member of the Girls’ or Boys’ Patrol. These duty-conscious members make sure that the halls are free of trespassers and also assist in the office. Mrs. Susan Danton, adviser for the Girls’ Patrol, feels the work that the girls do really helps the school throughout the entire year. Their duties include helping in both the annex and main building offices, signing and delivering passes, filing, and completing any other errands a secre- tary might want. Members of the Girls’ Patrol also sta- tion themselves at the first and second floor girls’ rooms. At commencement exercises, they act as usherettes, dis- tributing graduation programs. Mr. Richard Annino advises the Boys’ Patrol, which also helps in the office as the Girls’ Patrol does. The boys patrol the halls hourly, making sure that the school is cleared of any intruders, an increasing problem in urban schools. The Patrol also has many functions throughout the year. At Christmas time, they are in charge of “TOY FOR JOY,” a program which collects presents for under- priviledged children. Members of the Boys’ Patrol also usher at the senior banquet and prom,and at graduation exercises. With the help of the Girls’ and Boys’ Patrol, students can more easily find their way through Classical’s maze. 74 |(@] GIRLS’ AND BOYS’ PATROL 1.

Hill Chapter of the National Honor Society continued to be an active part of Classical High. Un - der the competent guid- ance of adviser Miss Phyl- lis Thomas, N.H.S. mem- bers volunteered their ser- vices to tutoring, patrol duty, and office help. In December, Classical’s N.H.S. held its annual Alumni Tea which was an occasion for alumni to re- unite with former class- mates and teachers. As in previous years, mem- bership into the National Honor Society was based on grade point average. Students who had attained a 3.75 average by the mid- dle of their junior year or a 3.5 average by the end of eleventh grade, became candidates for N.H.S. Eli- gible students were then judged for their leadership abilities, service, and char- acter. 1. Leslie Vercellone and Michelle Weinberg serve an alumnus during the Alumni Tea. 2.

Sorry, time is up.” Such challenges were commonplace to the mem- bers of the 1977-78 Math- letes. Anyone with a sharp mind for math was welcomed to attend the informal prac- tice session for the Math- letes on Thursdays. These sessions were directed by club adviser, Mrs. Julia Bale. Five members of the club who formed the Mathletes team competed with teams from seventeen other schools. All team members were given the same five problems to complete within a desig- nated time limit. The sum of the individual scores then equaled the team score. The Massachusetts Mutual Insurance Company host- ed the highest scoring team at a banquet. The annual top scoring individual was awarded with a $25.00 bond and a silver bowl. 1.

A way through this re- searching maze can be found with the help of Classical’s library aides. Under the leadership of Miss Isabelle Brown, the library aides perform a multitude of tasks. Not only do they help students find books and magazines, but they also issue passes to get into the library, check books out, check book returns, and do other highly organizational tasks. Library aides forfeit their study periods to work in the library. These dedi- cated keepers of the school’s literary collection are invaluable helpers to all who use the library. 1.

Chess The game of chess, which originated in ancient times, requires a great deal of mental agility and concen- tration. The fifteen mem- bers of the Classical Chess Club practiced these skills every Wednesday after school with the help of the club adviser, Mr. Craig Dinnie. For the first month, the club members competed against one another to es- tablish the top five players. These top five, plus one al- ternate formed the chess team and competed with the teams from other high schools which included Longmeadow, East Long- meadow and West Spring- field. The other members of the club continued to practice and were able to challenge anyone on the team. To replace a member of the team a player must beat him in two out of three games. The next step in Chess Club competition was the Western-Mass. play-offs. In 1976, the Classical team placed fourth. This was the first time in many year that Classical placed in the tournament. Mr. Dinnie was hopeful for the team ’s future. Club president, Manos Papamarka- kis, makes his move. 4. Gerald Over- street psyches his opponent. 5. Thomas O’Connor is confident of his move. CHESS CLUB [[e] 79 Bound For Glory Under the bright, new supervision of Ms. Keenan, the ’77-'78 Drama Club showed promise in turning out sever- al first-rate productions, making for a highly entertain- ing season. The Drama Club hoped to have two plays, “You Can’t Take It With You” and ‘Trifles’. “Trifles” was to be rehearsed and polished by spring. The Drama Club, which met every Wednesday, was open to any newcoming members at any time during the school year. During club meetings, members rehearsed upcoming plays, and perfected acting skills through such techniques as dramatic improvisation and theatre games. Like all organizations, the Drama Club faced problems. Not only did the dedicated performers struggle through the rigors of rehearsals, but they also had to contend with the hardship of finding facilities in which to stage their productions. This was due to the fact that Classical’s auditorium is inadequate for the staging of the club’s plays. Presided over by President Violet Campbell, Vice President Randy Garbin, Secretary Joanne Duquette, and Treasurer Leslie Vercellone, the ’77-’78 Drama Club promised to have a very successful year. 1.

The Classical Stage Band presented an image of class, elegance and professionalism. While performing, this fifteen-member group relied almost as much on its stage presence as it did on its musical skills. This polished image was chiefly achieved through the ap- pearance of the group. Blue ruffled shirts and black bow ties added the critical touch of class to the basic black uniform. On stage, the group was thoughtfully arranged in a style much like a “big” band of the 1940’s. The most important factor, however, to the image of the Stage Band was clearly the professional attitude of each individual musician. Per- forming in the Stage Band required a great deal of discipline, as well as musical talent. These committed members of the Stage Band were chosen through audition by director, Mr. John Christie. Competi- tion was intense, especially for the four trumpet positions. To be chosen as a member of the group, a musician must exhibit talent in playing the difficult syncopated rythms which are a characteristic of jazz music. The musician’s flair, style and ability to improvise were also taken into consider- ation. Emerging from these auditions were the musicians who would contribute the most to the sound and style of the Classical Stage Band. The Stage Band began its 1978 season by competing with several other schools in the Western Massachusetts Jazz Band Festival. The group performed a variety of jazz tunes such as, Stevie Wonder’s “Sir Duke,” “Slow Moving,” “Just for Kicks” and “Wind Machine.” In addition, the group played several concerts during the year, including its annual performance with the Concert Band in May. Listening to the 1978 Stage Band was a special treat for anyone who attended a performance of the group. Their excellent music and polished image was a credit to Classical and to each member of the group. eS SSO SE TT a TI IE RE TP SO OEE EES I eT OES 1.

It is composed of the well-stocked store located in the small cafete- ria, and the snack machine located elsewhere in the school. Because the School Store is a profitable organi- zation, it is a benefit to the whole school, not just to its periodic pencil buyers. The School Store was open during lunch. Its staf f shared the duties needed to run such an organization. The staff sold the regular pencils, pens, bookcovers, school sweatshirts, and other school-oriented items. This past year was different from others be- cause complete gym suits, gym bags, and pens en- scribed with Classical’s name were also sold. The School Store is a very good example of students helping students through the rigors of the Classical maze. It also gave a deserv- ing senior a scholarship re- alized from it profits. 1.

Right downstairs in the corner of the small cafeteria, Miss Weissbrod’s ‘Rough and ready” squad stands ready to serve students coffee and doughnuts for a minimal fee. Every morning, the dedicated people from Miss Wiesbrod’s Coffee House homeroom 126, prepare doughnuts, tea, cof- fee, and hot chocolate. The proceeds of these sales go into the senior class treasury. The members of homeroom 126 volunteer their services to run the Coffee House, taking turns and putting in their time whenever possible. Usu- ally, members try to arrange their schedule so that the Cof- fee House is always manned by at least two people.

COFFEE HOUSE jel 83 84 el BAND Hum A Few Bars And We'll Fake It The members of the 1977-78 Classical Marching Band will probably remember doing more hiking than marching. The fifty members of the Marching Band had to walk up to the athletic field at S.T.C.C. each day for marching practice. To get on the college grounds, the group had to walk up State Street to the gate across from the Telephone Company. Although this was quite a daily hike, the loyal members of the Marching Band never grumbled. Conditions on the practice field were not the best. Those people marching near the edges of the field were often up to their ankles in mud. But in spite of these obstacles, the Marching Band prepared a half-time show, marched down State Street for the United Way Rally, and participated in both Columbus and St. Patrick’s Day parades. One thing learned by everyone in the Marching Band was that playing an instrument, marching in formation, and trying to march eight steps to every five yards all at the same time is not as easy as it looks. Once football season was over, Mr. Christie, director of the band, brought his group back indoors to begin Concert Band. This group worked just as hard as the Marching Band, except that they were able to sit down! Due to the enthusiasm of band president, Rick Szczebak and the other officers, the Concert Band planned many exciting events. Some of the these were a band exchange concert, several small concerts during the year, and the annual formal concert in May. This year, the Concert Band was pleasantly surprised with the arrival of twenty-five new music stands. This might not seem like such an event, except for the fact that these stands had been ordered by Mr. Christie two years before! Only the members of the Band can really know all of the special things that happen because of room B-17; the band auction, the presentation of the broken drum stick award and the annual picnic. But, everyone can appreciate that the 1977-78 Band was a combination of talent, hard work and lively cooperation. % e — t tt TOE Mk A EA. eR a 4 | gas . = PA Sees tf Bye, ommo — SME AE) WO) ANY GEREN“ TA « 1.

BAND [e} 85 s6 | ava Projector People Many people have wondered where all those electrical, me- chanical, push-button, wind-up gadgets come from. Most people don’t know it, but all of those items, sometimes used in class, were delivered to classes, run, fixed in case of an emergency, and collected by the Audio-Visual, or the A.V.A. The A.V.A. homeroom was advised by Mr. Peck. Under his supervision, students worked during their study periods supplying projectors, record players, films, tapes, screens, and many other items for classroom use. After delivering them, the aides then collected them. If the projectors were broken the A.V.A was on hand to solve any problems. The A.V.A. was also in charge of setting up the S.T. identifi- cation project. The homeroom supervised the taking of S.T. pictures and the issuing of S.T. cards. Thanks to the dedicated work of the A.V.A., the routines of many classes were broken by the introduction of a film, record, or a tape. As much as many people take it for grant- ed, the A.V.A. has helped to make Classical’s learning maze a lot easier to go through. 1. Jay Yando censors one of the incoming tilms. 2.

Where do Classical students go to voice their opinions on world-wide issues? Where do those Classical schol- ars go, feeling the urge to let their oratory juices flow, and to emulate a modern day Daniel Webster? The Classical Senate is the place. Everybody is invited to observe and participate in the lively, spirited meetings. These meetings are held every Monday after school in room A-15. Here, the Senate members debate current ethical and political questions. The Senate is the oldest, most prestigious and digni- fied existing organization at Classical. Using the guidelines of Roberts Rules of Order, the Senate mem- bers promote bills on current issues and then conduct debates for and against the issues. These debates are followed by a vote which then decides the final posi- tion accepted by the Senate on the bill. Lead by President Jose Santos and advised by Mr. Young, The Classical Senate has debated penal reform, the possibility of building a new Classical High School, abortion, and federal health care. Now in its one-hundred-and-sixth year, the Senate, although changed in many ways, has perserved many customs and traditions. One such tradition is the f inal, end-of-the-year debate. The winner of this debate is rewarded by having his or her name engraved on the stone tablets in the school. Last year, for the first time in the Senate’s long history, a girl, Moira Campbell was chosen as the winner. As the Senate ages, seeing members come and go, old traditions have persevered, and other new ones have been adopted. One can only hope that his part of both Classical’s and Springfield’s unfolding history will re- tain its strong, and noble place in the Classical com- munity. 1.

Any student interested in sing- ing can become a member of the Boys’ Chorus, Girls’ Cho- rus, Homeroom Chorus, or Choir. The Chorus is made up of students in grades nine and ten and a few students in grade eleven. Homeroom Chorus is for students who cannot fit a regular Chorus class in their schedules; they meet, instead, every homeroom period. The three Choruses perform indepen- dently, except for during the Christmas and Spring Con- certs when the three singing groups combine to present a joyous musical ensemble. Throughout the year, the type of music studied and sung by the three choral groups and Choir is Classical. Contempo- rary music is rarely sung because Mr. Robbins, the instruc- tor, believes that since students are not generally familiar with Classical music, that exposure to such music is needed. He also feels that a student does not have to be able to sing extraordinarilly well to be a member of one of these choral groups. A student does need a positive, enthusiastic attitude towards singing. One of the requirements obligated by all the students is to attend all extra rehearsals, including those held during class and homeroom periods. The Choir is made up students who excel in singing. They meet four times a week, unlike the twice-a-week meeting of the Choruses. Being a full credit course, the students in Choir study more music and train harder in order to per- form well at concerts. They study musical history from early composers and sing selections from hit Broadway shows. Students in both Chorus and Choir aspire to someday being a part of the select Madrigal group which consist of twenty students who are chiefly seniors. Even if they do not qualify for Madrigal, choral students will still have fond memories of Classical’s singing groups. 88 jel CHORUS AND CHOIR 1. Julie Anderson hopes to sing her way to stardom. 2.

CHORUS AND CHOIR [Zl e0 MAD LABBERS The Chemistry Club was the only new club at Clas- sical last year. Mrs. Szla- chetka, the adviser for the club, believed the club made students more aware of the practical applica- tions of chemistry in ev- eryday life. Officers of the Chemistry Club were Cathy Marsh, president; Joseph Zinger, vice-presi- dent; Joyce Trela, treasurer, and Pamela Blackwood, secretary. Throughout the year, the group conducted many ex- periments that were usual- ly too long or too compli- cated to do in a regular chemistry course at Classi- cal. The Chemistry Club tested experiments for their practicality in class- room use. If an experiment worked out well, it would possibly be used in Classi- cal’s chemistry courses. Also, the club had planned to tour the Monsanto Company and other chemi- cal plants. 1.

Mrs. Danforth, the club’s advis- er, noted that the group’s membership had increased signifi- cantly over the previous year. There was great interest in the club, because students wanted to know more about the maze-like functions of the human brain and human behav- ior. To help the members better understand the mind-boggling and continually expanding psychological concepts, the Psy- chology Club heard lectures from Dr. Patten, a local clinical psychologist. He demonstrated the use of the biofeedback machine and described his job to the group. The club had planned to invite other guest speakers as well. Another major function of the Psychology Club was its volunteer committee. Members of the club devoted their time to such organizations as the United Way and the Men- tal Health Care Center. The Psychology Club’s goal had been to organize a First Annual Psychology Fair to be held at the Springfield Civic Center on Symphony Hall. If all progresses as anticipated, the Psychology Fair will host area specialists in psychology and booths operated by greater Springfield high schools’ faculties and students. The officers of the 1977-78 Psychology Club were Dorene Patrakis, president; Reggie Sheffield, vice-president; Elea- nor Scott, secretary; and Marcia Burrel, treasurer. 1.

Although people were snowed in and schools were closed, skiers’ prayers were answered. This winter's advantageous ski conditions and the popularity of the sport lured ski bums everywhere to the slopes, and Classical ski- ers were no exceptions. Every Tuesday afternoon for five weeks, the Classical Ski Club, under the watchful supervision of Mr. Pervonga, ven- tured to Mount Tom for four hours of leisurely skiing. For beginners it was a trial period to discover if they could stay upright on their feet, learn the fundamentals of skiing, and look like non-beginners. Expereicned skiers improved upon their skiing techniques and showed off their skiing abilities. Lessons were available for the club members who felt they needed them. Beginners and novices alike braved the ele- ments to have fun with old and new friends snowploughing ., and paralleling their way through the Mount Tom ski trails. a 5 dali.

Action Assembly Classical’s Student Government, often confused with Class Government, serves the student body in a unique way. While each class (freshman, sophomore, etc) runs its own activities separately, Student Government involved repre- sentatives from every grade. They meet weekly throughout the year to discuss and to act upon student concerns, as well as to coordinate all school activities. S.G. organizes the annual Student Treasury (S.T.) Drive, Red Cross Blood Donor Drive, and Charity Carnation Sale. The proceeds of this year’s St. Patrick’s Day carnation sale went to the Leukemia Society of Western Mass. S.G. created two special committees. Charged with investigating the condi- tions of Classical, the Repairs Committee submitted a report to the School Committee. The other detailed an Open Cam- pus program that was made available to students wanting to work with the Spfld. Central Business District. The five students who took advantage of this oportunity did histori- cal research on Springfield during their studies. When asked to comment on S.G., President Charlie Pieterse acknowledged that it had not been an effective as it might have been, “Though Student Government performs a valu- able service in governing student activities, the body is faced with a disturbing dilemma. This is that Student Gov- ernment, as stated in the school’s constitution, should be a forum for student concern. The problem is that not enough students are aware of this fact, and consequently, Student Government is not ulitizied to its fullest extent.” A lack of student concern for fundraising as well as for recreational activities has also plagues S.G.’s emphasis in the future will be placed on generating more student body enthusiasm for school projects. 1.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT feos They Wrote The Book Venturing beyond the door proclaiming “Blue White Staff Members Only” most often reveals a room in pepe- tual motion. However, that does not necessarily mean that the people in there are always working; while some may be munching on imported pizzas, others may be busy arranging the McDonald cups that “adorn” the walls of this chaotic production room. But the word “deadline” sets the Blue White staff in serious motion. As that day approaches, desperate cries such as these are not uncommon: “How do I fit eighty lines of copy in a forty space block?” or ‘The next person who tries to get the typewriter ahead of me will get this cropper around his neck!’” Above the commotion, a radio serves to disquise the din so that the principal, directly below, will not notice anything unusual. In the spring of 1977, the editorial staff journeyed to New York City for three days to the Annual Columbia Confer- ence of Journalism at Columbia University to learn how to assemble a better yearbook. In addition to having a great timc, the staff gathered new ideas which, after one year and lots of laughter and hard work, has resulted in the 1978 yearbook. In spite of the usual problems of lost photographs, faulty typewriters,and missing photographers, the talented writ- ers of Blue White enjoyed recording the happenings of the school year in this year’s book, which they hope will bring enjoyment to its readers now and in years to come.

Heavy, flooding rain to blizzard-like conditions plagued Annex- bound students. Days after receiving enough snow and freezing rain to collapse the roof of the Hartford Civic Center, Mother Nature dealt the Northeast a torrential rain storm. Wooden foot bridges had to be constructed over pond-like puddles for students going to the Annex. Because over 1000 gallons of water found its way into the Classical oil tanks, the main building went without heat and hot lunches for a day. Buckets had to be placed on the second floor to catch the water that the third floor buckets didn’t! The most significant weather nightmare started the first week of February and will go down in history as “The Great Blizzard of ’78!” Devastating amounts of snow blanketed the Northeast. In Rhode Island, Ash Wednesday had to be postponed until the following weekend. All roads in Connecticut were closed by Governor Ella Grasso. During a State of Emergency, Governor Dukakis closed all schools in the commonwealth; superintendents in Western Massachusetts had to ask Civil Defense for permission to open schools. Radio stations were broadcasting the open school announcements rather than the cancellations. Late-sleeping students happily received cancellation notices a day ahead of time. 1.

Because the large amount of snow prevented travel into Boston, flowers for Valentine’s Day were in short supply. Valentine’s day was turned into Valentine’s week so area merchants wouldn’t lose too much money. Lobsters were washed up on the Boston shores. People were warned that cooking dead ones and then eating them could be fatal. The law requiring students to attend school for 180 days was bent a little by the State Board of Education and Boston area students did not have to make up the school days they missed. Although this snowstorm cost the Eastcoast billion of dollars, for students who like to sleep late ... the blizzard of ’78 was great! 98 |(@] FEATURES BROS 1.

OPO RSE ANG Wilt Yess) UO VAAL ONG TAS SiVaicd peace ENN DeLee Na Ces Sra Bounced From The Court With the return of only two let- terman, this year’s Classical Bas- ketball team was crippled by a lack of experience. Though the team never gave up, never stopped hustling, it was evident to most observers that their play lacked the patience and maturity that comes only with experience. As the season progressed, a lot of improvements took place and all indicaters point towards this year’s maturing players explod- ing on the court next year. Walter Lavender and Tony Mitchell, both seniors, paced the Classical team all year. Both Lav- ender and Mitchell were among the leading league scorers. How- ever, Mitchell’s offensive pro- duction slowed down a little as the season wore on, leaving Lav- ender alone at the top for most of the season. Forward Kevin Johnson and guards Tony Mor- ris, Barry Jones, and Tony West- brook, all exciting underclass- men, contributed heavily throughout the season, never giving up, always fighting. Highlights of the season includ- ed two close victories over Put- nam and a one-point victory over Taconic. All three games had Classical at its best, and all were glances of what will hap- pen to the team’s play with ma- turity. Always hustling, always fighting, never giving up, the true trademarks of this year’s team; these were the reasons for these three victories; that and the performances of “Boo” Laven- der, Tony Mitchell, Tony West- brook, and Shelbert Anderson. Never lacking desire, never giv- ing up, this year’s Basketball team lacked but one main ingre- dient, experience. But when they get it watch out! 1.

Again and again, Walter Lavender grabbed the rebound, scored the point, fired off the pass. In a season filled with games, which result- ed in Classical losses. “Boo” Lavender gave Classical fans something to cheer about. The senior center’s all-around excel- lent play was by far the brightest spot in a long, dark season. One of the leading scorers in Western Mass. Basketball all season long, Lavender’s poise was a credit to both himself and the school. An- other favorite with the fans, Sen- ior Tony Mitchell, also contrib- uted heavily during the season. A fine offensive player in his own right, Mitchell also exhibit- ed class on the court. A lack of experience hurt the team all season long, yet the group of promising underclass- men who spent the season gain- ing valuable experience included Kevin Johnson, Tony West- brook, Shelbert Anderson, and Tony Morris. Much is expected of the players when they ma- tures, and it seems now that no one will be disappointed. 102 |(@] BASKETBALL 1. From outside the key, Ricky Johnson launches one towards the hoop. 2.

WRESTLING (@l10s Hot Shots Superb goaltending, hustling at- titudes, a potent offense, and fine team spirit are the trade- marks for which the ’77-’78 Classical Hockey team will be remembered. However, one won't be likely to forget the team’s record either. Locked in a three-way race for supremacy in W. Mass. Div. 1 Hockey, the Classical pucksters have made fine showings against their chief adversaries, W. Springfield and Cathedral. Against West Side, the team won once and tied once. In both games senior goaltender Jim Curley, the backbone of the defense, put in a performance a notch above the rest, stopping drives and continually frustrat- ing his opponents. John Shea, Greg Pickett, Paul Veto, and Mike Dowd also put in notable performances. Against Cathe- dral the team played both its worst game of the season and its best game of the season up to that point, yet still lost both en- counters. The first game can easily be forgotten, as a third pe- riod letdown, a_ season-long problem, allowed Cathedral to rack up points to the tune of a 7- 2 victory. The next journey to the ice was a totally different story, yet the outcome was the same. Dominating and leading the first two periods. Classical saw its hopes dashed in the third period as two goals gave Cathe- dral the game by the score 2-1. Nevertheless, Classical players Jim Curley, Bob Shea, Mickey Wheeler, and Jeff Cawley all de- serve high praise for their ef- forts. The rest of the schedule yielded nothing but victories as Classical battered opponents to pile up a very impressive season record. Coming into the stretch run for the Championship, hopes are running high at Clas- sical for its hockey team and for success in its quest for the West- ern Mass.

HOCKEY (el 107 The Proper Blend A team’s success depends a great deal upon a coach’s ability to find the proper blend between youth and experience. Seniors Mike Dowd, Jeff Cawley, Bob Shea, Jim Curley, Mickey Wheeler, and junior John Shea supplied the team with the nec- essary experience, while sopho- mores Bob Muchia, Gene Rielly, Paul Veto, and freshman Dave Trembly provided the fireworks that come with youth. Yet find- ing the proper combination of players is not the only important job which faces a coach; he must also create’ the right ‘atmo- sphere.” One team member summed up his feelings with, “It was a good time, a lot of fun.” Simple yes, but to the point. One problem which did face this year’s puck- sters was their inability to get psyched up for lesser teams. Too often, games which should have been won handily were won by 108 ie HOCKEY uncomfortably close margins. This somewhat careless attitude finally resulted in a loss to Fay Division Power, Agawam. Yet when Classical was up and play- ing together, they could only be described as no less than power- ful. The offense-minded team was powered by Paul Veto, John Shea, Dave Trembly, Mike Dowd, and Greg Pickett. When the goals came, they came fast and furiously, leaving oppo- nents dazed and beaten. Yet an offense has to be backed by de- fense. Goaltender Jim Curley was a formidable obstacle in the net while senior defensemen Bob Shea and Mickey Wheeler stopped opponents with both fi- nesse and physical force. To ap- praise the team quickly, one gets the impression that though they had their problems getting “up” for some games, once they were up, it was awfully hard, almost impossible, to put them down. 1.

However, the boys became win- ners in another sense of the word. Coach Art Barnes ex- pressed this feeling of success by saying, “This past season, if measured in wins and losses, was not what one might term a success. Winning is nice, and it has many rewards, but to com- pete against the best, win or lose, can be just as rewarding. Whena good team has to use the best that they have to beat you, you know that you’re competitive; you know that you’ve improved, “oe sw 1. The Classical ’77-’78 Boys’ Swim Team.

Distance freestyler, Jeff Cor- nish, turned in excellent times in the 200 and 500 yd. freestyles along with senior Will Bachli who specialized in the fly.

BOYS’ SWIMMING |e 109 The Happy Hoopers Girls’ basketball is another fine example of the improvement in women’s sports. In just four years, Classical Girls’ Basketball has gone from an almost intra- mural group to a highly com- petitive team. Informal games which were once played in the dark, dank, depths of the ancient gyms are now tough contests at the clean, bright, spacious Spfld. Civic Center. Perhaps this was the inspiration which helped the squad improve its and record to this year’s and tally. Last year’s fine defense was even stronger in ’77 thanks to the de- termined efforts of two guards, the quick Molly Gallimore and consistent Darise Victory. Pass- ing and penetration were two major offensive problems with which the group struggled. Sev- eral team members agreed that the offense had difficulty mov- ing inside to take easier shots. Despite these weaknesses, the girls scored 69 points versus Agawam, a record high. Senior Mary Parker had 38 of these, on her way to 1000 career points. The girls also rallied as a team to defeat a challenging East Long- meadow squad 62-55. But team- work was greatly lacking, and this problem constantly plagued the group throughout the sea- son. Strong individual attitudes and a lack of team cooperation often hampered chances for suc- cess. Ms. Ruby Kelly, the girls’ coach, said that because of divi- sive individualism, the team was difficult to coach. However, she also said that the team had im- proved its rebounding and guarding skills. Because only three seniors will be leaving, the remaining team will be more ex- perienced and aware of these problems. With two up-and- coming players in Sharon Lane and Darlene Carelock and the solutions to these problems, the ‘78 season may be even better. 110 {[@] GIRLS’ BASKETBALL 1.

In a tight play-off match for the city Champion- ship against Cathedral, the tena- cious Bulldogs fell off the title, 1482-1565. Freshman Scott Atkins led the team with an outstanding 102 bowling average, while posting a remarkable ‘score of 149, the highest individual single game in the league. Notable perfor- mances also came from seniors Mark Fournier, Ann Shecrallah and Holly Thurber. Coach Ar- men Jermakian had strongly supported Ann’s and Holly’s participation on the varsity squad over the past three years and added, ‘Following their suc- cess, more girls have been trying out; and they are most wel- come.” In summing up the ’77- ‘78 season and considering next year’s team, Coach Jermakian said, “We had an outstanding season with our available talent, and with an undefeated Junior Varsity squad, we expect some success next year.” 1.

The complete oppo- site has been true of the '76-’77 team, which, if anything, sur- passed hopes and exceeded ex- pectations. Why the rapid turn around? The bounce from a 5-14 record to a 10-7 record could be partly attributed to Coach Li- garski’s strategy of letting un- derclassmen play and learn from experience. Thus, in this way, the young team matured and readied itself for the ’76-'77 sea- son. One outstanding aspect of the team was its superior infield. Ray Mickiewiez at third, Andy Russo at shortstop and John Shay at second, combined for only 15 errors all year. In addi- tion to their fielding, all three wielded big sticks. Mickiewiez, then a Junior, slashed out the hits for a 423 average. Sopho- more John Shay came away from the plate with a 361 average, and Junior Andy Russo hung in at At Last 328. The catalytic effect of John Shay’s play was apparent only after he was hurt. During the ab- sence of the slick-fielding sec- ond baseman, the team proceed- ed to lose four out of its next five games. With John Shay in the lineup, the team lost only three games. Other exciting performers for the team were pitchers Chris Ta- pasis and Tim Kilbride, catcher Bob Shay and captain Dan Smith. Tapasis and Kilbride pro- vided the backbone of the pitch- ing load and Tapasis, contrary to popular belief, proved that pitchers can hit by smashing out a 372 average. Behind the plate catcher Bob Shay displayed one of the best arms in Western Mass. by constantly gunning down prospective base stealers. And lastly, outfielder Dan Smith provided the smooth, steady support the young team needed. Coach Ligarski, enthusiastic about almost every aspect of the team, eagerly waits for next sea- son. 1.

BASEBALL [[q)[113 Eight Runs Were Everything Eight is hardly a significant number when held up the total efforts of a season. But mention- ing that to Coach Ligarski or to the members of the ’77 Baseball Team doesn’t help, for it was only those eight runs which kept Classical’s Baseball Team from copping the interschool ti- tle and qualifing for the W. Mass tournament. Though it is not in keeping with tradition to dwell on losses, the nature of the defeats justifies this focus. Lead- ing by one run, no one on base, and two out in the bottom of the ninth, Classical seemed secure in coming away with a victory over Cathedral. Yet a fickle Fate held the cards that day. Three sucessive singles brought home the tying and winning runs for Cathedral, leaving Classical in defeat. To make matters worse, the next game with Cathedral and ensuing two matches with Tech resembled all too closely that bitter defeat to Cathedral. Bad breaks, funny bounce hits, and uncanny baserunning spelled defeat for Classical. The pent-up frustration resulting from these games was vented upon perennial power Chicopee Comp. Rated as one of the top three teams in Western Mass., Chicopee seemed to be a formi- dable opponent. But with com- plete disrespect, Classical deci- mated its rival nine by a score of 9-1. When the game was over, Andy Russo and Tim Kilbride stood high on the heroes list due to their flawless performance. It was a great way to end the sea- son, but one cannot help but wonder what might have been if it had not been for eight “insig- nificant” runs. 114 (e BASEBALL REO Ty “Classical Minnechat Cathedral © Won 10 Lost 7 ‘Tied T .

RECORD WON _ 10 Lost 7 GOLF |(e] 117 “Improving” is the best expres- sion to describe this years girls’ Soccer Team. Although it was only their second year as a varsi- ty squad, the booters showed a fine tally of 7-7-2, while last year’s squad failed to reach the .500 mark. There were several reasons for the group’s growing achieve- ment. Unlike last year’s team which had limited abilities, the ‘77 team had a greater variety of talent. Defensive play was an ad- ditional key to success. The fine efforts of Benita Joseph as well as veteran goalie Cindy Ribiero with her excellent goal tending, broke up many an opponent's drive. Also among the defense, Joanne Duquette was perhaps the most improved player while Mary Jane Snow came to be known for her excellently ex- ecuted throw-ins. However, the front line, which had been last year’s downfall, remained an un- solved problem. Despite Sabrina Buntin’s speed and Kathy La- Motte’s fine footwork, the offen- sive group could not jell. The group’s talent was obvious, but the incentive to score was often lacking. Although the booters increased their number of shots on goal, few found their way into the net. Despite these few problems, the Classical girls captured a 2-0 vic- tory over a tough Agawam team. Another fine effort was against Cathedral. Using their excellent defense, Classical kept the game scoreless until, with a minute left to play, the Panthers tallied a goal. Fullback Rhoda Manoo- gian, and Denise Smith, one of the teams leading scorers, were both key figures in these games. When asked to comment on this year’s team, Coach Desrochers said that she was pleased with everyone’s performance. With these future hopefuls and some additional experience, Mrs. Des- rochers is confident that this year’s satisfaction will develop into next year’s excitement. 118|[@)] GIRLS SOCCER re sii i ne RR enna | 1.

GIRLS’ SOCCER [el 119 Winners At Last The ’77 track season was a very successful one for the Classical team because it compiled a re- cord of six wins and five losses. In only his second year as head- coach, Dan Mclaughlin led a de- termined group of Classical tracksters to their first winning season since 1966. Leading the Bulldog ground and air attack were Kevin Johnson in the 100 yard dash, Dan Driscoll in the 880 yard run, Steve Millet in the 330 low hurdles, Adam Rakus in the javelin throw, and Kevin Goggins, Kevin Johnson, Ray Hunter, and David Byrd of the mile relay team. These seven performers destroyed existing school records during dual meets; they continually paced the potent Classical attack throughout the season. Also earning high praise from head- coach Mclaughlin and assistant- coaches Tom Daignais, Louis Malvezzi, Paul Rieker, and Steve Russell were Royce Bouknight, Clive Burrell, Shawn Daley, Jeff Johnson, Jim Perez, and Ed Ra- kus. “Spirit was the key,” said Coach Mclaughlin. “Most of the people who came out for the team stayed with the team.” This asset contributed largely to the suc- cessful season in which the tracksters scored the most points ever for Classical in the City and Western Mass. meets. Despite less than advantageous practice conditions at Blunt Park, the Bulldogs were able to win six in a row, defeating East Longmeadow and Longmeadow along the way. These victories were the first such wins over the suburban schools in recent memory. In the Western Mass. Track Meet, the Bulldogs were very impressive. With Kevin Johnson and Kevin Goggins placing sec- ond and third respectively in the 100 yard dash, Eurice Moody taking third in the triple jump and Steve Millet taking second in the low hurdles, Classical was able to finish a strong fourth, only a half point out of third in the meet. “The best thing about the team,” said Coach Mclaughlin, “is that everyone who scored a point during the ’77 season will be back for the ’78 season.” 1.

TENNIS (123 Roz’s Raiders Girls’ sports at Classical are a fine small-scale example of the great advancements being made in women’s athletics. Both are finally gaining the recognition and interest they deserve. One of Classical’s best women’s teams was the ’77 Girls’ Softball Team. Just three years ago, the ‘74 team played only eight games, all within Springfield. Although their 4-4 record was respectable, the 1975 squad improved this to 8-6. New uniforms and new teams to play were their inspira- tion. Last year’s group took the city title with an undefeated 6-0 and 8-7 overall. The 1977 Softball Team was no exception to an ever-improving trend. Of their 21 games, the girls won 13, while losing only 8. There were two reasons for the team’s growth in expertise. First, many girls improved from ’76 to ‘77, and second, many pro- gressed throughout the ’77 sea- son. Two good examples of the girls’ progress were the two games played against Agawam. The first encounter was less than profitable for the Bulldogs since they were soundly defeated 23-14. However, when the two groups met again, Classical lashed out ten hits, proving that they had come to play. The game was a see-saw battle, but finally Classical rallied for three in the sixth, sewing up the 9-7 win. The combination of timely hit- ting, defensive teamwork, and Joyce Perry’s consistent pitching exhibited the girls’ fine progress. Enthusiasm, team spirit, and mutual encouragement were other reasons for the team’s suc- cess. Their fine record made them eligible for the Western Mass. Tournament. However, being the last seed, they were 124 [©] SOFTBALL forced to play the top seed, Monument Mountain. Classical faced the challenge and held a 4- 2 lead throughout the first three innings. When Monument knotted the score at four, Classi- cal responded by tallying three, sparked by Lisa Cupillo’s two- run homer. In the fifth, the de- termined Spartans tied the score, despite a great diving catch by outfielder Gail Wapner. Howev- er, the Bulldogs were down 11-8 when they came to bat for the last time. After a final pep-talk, they swung into action. Back-to- back clutch singles by Jerry Kel- ly and Emily Cummings set the stage for three dramatic two-out R.B.I. hits by Mary Parker, Lisa Cupillo and Elaine Contant. But Monument was too strong; they scored three in the last of the seventh, giving them the 14-13 victory. Although Classical went down in defeat, Coach Linda Rozzi said, “The girls played their best this season. I was proud of all of them.” A lack of skilled baserunners and imperfected ball-handling were the only problems that re- mained for the ‘78 team. Perhaps Classical will soon have a much- needed J.V. team to satisfy those who were not able to make the varsity team.

SOFTBALL |{c] 125 Nobody Does It Better The Classical Harriers clearly proved their superiority in the Southern Division as their 14-0 record left all opponents plod- ding in the dust. Teamwork and depth were their greatest strengths and the decisive fac- tors in their upset victory over top rival Cathedral. With good team spirit and determination, the Bulldogs got psyched for easy meets as well as for hard ones. Classical’s success was the result of hard work. Team standout, Dan Driscoll, who took second in Western Mass., set a fine ex- ample for his teammates. Coach Podworski described Driscoll by saying, ‘““He’s the best runner I’ve ever coached and the most dedicated also.” The rest of the squad had solid performers with Captain Shaun Daly and Mike Diagneault leading the way.

Competing against older and more exper- ienced teams, the girls learned that the road to success would take time. This, however, only inspired the gymnasts, and sen- ior Mo Ryan expressed her opti- mism by saying, ‘Each girl is determined to improve her indi- vidual score, and with this moti- vation the team improves as a whole.” Coach Desrochers had hopes to finish halfway in the standings and to post a 9-8 record. Vault- ing and floor exercises proved to be the team’s strong points, while the beam and the bars were weaker areas. On the latter two stations, however, the gym- nasts showed much potential. Helping each other and sharing knowledge, the girls improved with every workout while gain- ing valuable experience. Mrs. Desrochers commented on this sharing of skills in workouts by saying, “When good gymnasts leave, they leave their knowl- edge behind at Classical where the new girls can pick it up.” 1.

GYMNASTICS [2] 127 It Ended Too Soon Ludlow, Classival’s semi-final opponent in the Western Mass. play-offs, was considered the team to beat. As defending New England Champions, the Lud- low Lions had finished first in Division I, lead by a couple of all-everything players, Tony M. Dias, and Tony G. Dias. But Classical had not come to this game through the rear entrance either. The booters were a first class unit as they had swept through the season in exciting fashion, finishing second to Ludlow. All year the team was paced by many players. Howev- er, seasonal standouts included: Kevin Briggs, Rick Hanchette, Mike Izzo, Gary Deets, Don Nicholson, and Bob Whebble. A surprising asset to the team’s de- fense turned out to be sopho- more goalie Dave Shirley, while senior standout, John Bates was sidelined with injury. In order to reach an encounter with Ludlow, Classical had to first meet the Division 2 co- champion, Longmeadow. Though Longmeadow drew first blood, the Classical booters eventually wore down their spir- ited opponent and, pulling away in the third quarter, defeated Longmeadow on the strength of goals by Kevin Briggs, Dino Casagrande, Bob Whebble, and 128 (2) SOCCER Mike Izzo. By displacing Long- meadow, Classical advanced to its enounter with Ludlow. “The Game” was to be held at Spring- field College’s Bendum field un- der the lights. With tempera- tures hovering around the high 30’s, fans huddled together in eager anticipation of their forth- coming match. Finally, at game time, the loudspeaker echoed over the field, “And now the starting lineups for tonight's game. For Classical High of Springfield, at left inside, ..... Later, hands pressed against his face, knees sinking to the ground, John Bate’s body lan- guage told the whole story. As Bates trembled uncontrollably with rage, the scoreboard re- vealed the outcome of the play, Ludlow 2, Classical 0. Another quick goal followed a minute lat- er, the back was broken the sea- son ended. The season was over, but it won't be remembered on the note with which it had finished. The ’77 Soccer Team, under Coach Dave Stratton’s helm, will be remembered for its impres- sive season which was high- lighted by two come-from-be- hind victories over arch rival Ca- thedral.

The line consisted of seniors Brent Davis, Ed Rakus, Dave Patterson, John Lolikos and Richard Orr, and juniors Chris Donahue and John Shay.

Al- ways a hot spot to be in, the line- backers performed with great skill and agility, picking off the rushing halfbacks all over the playing field. This year’s line- backers were John Shay, Mike Powers, Kevin Johnson and Ke- vin Goggin. The defensive secondary are the last defense before the goal line. John Gendren, Marvin Miller, Rushern Baker and Bob McQuade were the members of the defensive secondary for most of the year. They often stopped drives in the final moments and intercepted passes to win games akon ; aon 4 : a! : � for the Bulldogs. SAG OME ars 7. Aaa ta ee aa : Se ENS th Miss 1.

FOOTBALL Je 131 Gridiron Blues A 3-5-1 record for the 1977- 78 football team did not reflect the emotion of the players or the excitement that was present at all of the games, home or away. At the beginning of the year there were high hopes for a winning season. Most of these hopes were kept alive until the final 11 seconds of the Greenfield game in which the Bulldogs had to settle for a tie. There was still hope for a.500 season, until undefeated Minnechaug beat the gridsters in the final game of the season. Throughout the season, the names of Tom Johnson and Kevin Johnson were heard from speakers on fields far and near. These were not the only names heard however. Rushern Baker, Kevin Goggin, Mike Powers and John Santamaria also made names for themselves. The screen pass to the left seemed to be the main line of attack in the first few games. When the other teams caught on they started running inside and running a sweep to the outside, both with good results. 132 je) FOOTBALL Rookie quarterback Tom Johnson handled himself very well in his first season as the head of the Classical machine. But, like a machine, the offense broke down once in a while. There were times when it seemed that they would never move the ball past their own twenty-yard line. Then there were the times where they would move the ball to the goal line only to stall and settle for a field goal attempt. The same held true for the defense. At times they would hold the other team for three downs and long yardage, only to lose it on the next play, giving the other team a first down. Then there was the Ludlow game. The Bulldogs were down 13-0 when they saw the light. In a furious second quarter, they ran up twenty unanswered points. They then took the second half kickoff and ran it back for their last score of the game. Ludlow threatened late in the game, but Bob McQuade snared a pass from the hands of a Ludlow receiver to wrap the game for the Bulldogs. ee eel gape RAY ee «rine Soe 6 Minnechaug Bi Record ‘Won3 Tied 1 Lost 5 the second half kickoff all the way for a touchdown. 5.

FOOTBALL el 133 Playing The Game All athletes and teams have aspi- rations, some individual and others shared. The individual may dream of personal enjoy- ment, or stardom, or college and professional play. However, among all athletes there is a uni- versal goal; to participate and contribute one’s efforts to a team. There are several reasons for this common desire. Some participants respond to an inner challenge, thereby testing them- selves. Others require inter- player competition as their moti- vation. Coaches and parental in- fluences are often two other in- centives. Though some realize that their chances of playing are slim, they join anyway, and re- main team members, their main desire being team devotion. The second stringer feels that he fills a team need as indeed he does. He deserves respect as do man- agers, coaches and equipment persons because all play critical supportive roles. A squad con- sisting merely of a starting lin- eup is neither a team nor a suc- cess. Teams at Classical also have spe- cific goals. Classical’s primary objective is, of course, winning. However, unlike some schools that are obsessed with victory, Classical’s criteria for success varies. Personal achievements and individaul and team im- provements are all success sto- ries at Classical. All Bulldog fans can be proud of their athletes, especially when one considers Classical’s inad- equate facilities. Often, teams lack transportation, proper uni- forms and equipment, and the nonexistent playing fields and swimming pool are everyday problems to be faced. Yet, with or without the school’s support the Bulldog competitor always does his best. Inner determina- tion as well as intense team spir- it reflect the athlete’s pride in his school, in his team and, most importantly, in himself. 134 je) A DEDICATION ... 1.

CEEEES ee R it Sitting in French class, room 244 to be exact, Joe Classical takes a test. While searching for that elusive verb ending, the fire gong rings. Panic-striken, Joe wonders where to go. “Is there any way out of this ‘condemned’ dwelling?” he thinks. Offi- cially, the way out consists of leaving by the side door, turning left down the southwest stairway to Temple Street, and keeping right. Confusing? Well, maybe, but don’t ask any questions, just march! Classical is not an easy place from which to get out. Even getting out of a seemingly accessible first floor room like 136 consists of leaving by the side of the room, turning right down the corridor, going out of the northeast State Street door, left, and down State Street, keeping to the right! But, one must remember, Classical would not be Classical without its long, maze-like winding halls, sudden turns, and unexpected angles. Adding to the confusion of fire drills is the fact that they can occur at any time, and usually the worst time. Many a Classical student has felt the. disgrace of having to walk out of the building in a hideous gym suit. Test time is also a popular time for fire drills. Sometimes, though, that fire drill does give the poor student time to seek out the class “brain” for some pertinent information. The class brain, however, is usually quite upset that the class has been disturbed by the drill. Fire drills are also a source of humor. If one has been in the annex during a main building fire drill, one gains not only a few laughs, but a warning; chances are, the annex drill is just minutes away. Fire drills really give one the feeling of being in a maze; a maze that must be completed in eight seconds should one care to survive. Sad but true, these beloved halls of Classical are sometimes referred to as “fire traps”. For this reason, Classical fire drills are taken very seriously, especially since this building is in danger of extinction. Somehow, with all the hazards and con- fusing exits, Joe and Josephine Classical always seem to make it out with time to spare and to see that the building is safe for re-entry as it always is.

Many of them were the brainchild of five students known as the senior class officers. These five students donated much of their time and talent to their class in order to make a better senior year. Their accomplishments were succeeded only by their creativity and school spirit. These achievements made it possible for all seniors to leave with something more than a diploma. Life at Classical was a lot easier for seniors knowing that they were being represented by some of the best school citizens available.

The most common and logical answer would be notes. But the answer to this question is instead, scribbling. Scribbling, better known as doodling, has become the most commonly mastered art form among students. Although the actual origin of doodling cannot be determined, it is customarily used by students who wander out of the classroom reality, or who, as it is more often called, daydream. Moreover, one of the most noteworthy and renowned doodles has come from one Classical senior who, while her fellow classmates were working extra hard 144 |(@] SENIORS ALAN BURNHAM DEBRA BRODECKI CLIVE BURRELL CHRISTINE BROWN Practice Makes Perfect taking notes, doodled strenously and arduously over a twelve-year period, to reach a level of perfection. Her name is Kim Forque, who invented the “squish.” She defines her squish as a “Huggable, lovable, kissable thing.” Kim’s squish evolved from her doodling background. Her first squish, doodled in the ninth grade when she and some friends came to favor the word, became a symbol for this word. Kim has since developed several versions of her original squish, thanks to four years of serious doodling. Kim is one of many Classical students who enjoys the art of doodling. Although her doodles do add to the glamour of the pages of her math or English notebook, she realizes that the notes themselves still hold some importance. 1.

Those people, whose guidance is the key to senior fund-raising events and such highlights as the prom and the Senior Banquet, are the Senior Class advisers. Because this job is taken on a totally voluntary basis, Mrs. Duffy, Mr. Girr, Mr. Macomber, and Mrs. Tarczynski were not paid for the extra time they spend as advisers. Yet, despite this, they treated their positions with a seriousness that made them the vital links between the classes and Mr. Peterson, the KAREN DUMAIS REGINA DUPRAT 150 |] SENIORS Human Suggestion Boxes principal. Serving primarily as “suggestion boxes”, they advised both the class president and the Student Government as to which of many suggestions might be workable.

Once their goal to guide these plans into winning the approval of Mr. Peterson was met, the rest of the job was left to the students themselves.

The Blood Bank, run by the American Red Cross, was set up in the girls’ gym. Cots were lined up the whole length of the gym in order to handle as many donors as possible. Each donor gave one pint. To help get some strength back, each person was provided with a snack. The backbone of the operation was Miss SUSAN INNARELLI MARGARET HURLBUT Weissbrod. With Sharlene Moran as student director, the American Red Cross was contacted. The dates were set to coincide with the schedule at Classical and the students as a whole cooperated to help set up and recruit each donor. It was observed that there were more girls than boys contributing. For various reasons, such as persons having JOHN HUTCHINS lds MICHAEL IZZO temperatures, colds, iron deficiencies or mononucleosis, many prospective donors had to be turned away.

Even though having a car is very pretigious, it c an have its drawbacks. Since the students at Classical are not terribly rich, they usually cannot buy their own cars, and are therefore forced to “bribe” their parents for the use of theirs. This means leaving one’s house a half an hour earlier to drive mother or father to work. Now that one is finally on the way to school, one remembers having to pick up newly aquired friends to drive to school. Later, one finds that they only want to associate with one when in your car wasting, your gas to go where they want to go with their friends. Once at school, one has the problem of finding a parking place. After driving around the school three times, one submits to parking at Matt’s for $0.75 and paying that fee oneself. STUDENTS 1S¢-: After school one encounters a multitude of problems. It has probably snowed six inches and one must clean off the car while one’s friends pile in to keep warm. Then one must try to start the car, which is not an easy thing to do in winter's below-freezing temperatures. Once ready to go, one finds that one cannot get out of the parking lot because the school busses are in the way. Much to the dismay of one’s passengers, one also finds that gas is needed. Passing the hat around reveals that everyone is broke and very insulted about being asked to pay for “a gift from a friend.” Being late to pick up one’s parents from work, one rushes home. As one passes by a bus stop and looks at the people standing in the freezing cold, one realizes that all the hassles of the car are worth it. 1.

SENIORS je 157 For every student who wishes to pursue a field that requires post-secondary school education, there is always the problem of meeting college costs. Over 70% of Classical’s graduates will face the problems of increased tuitions and higher fees for such necessities as student board, and other personal and school-related expenses. Somehow, each and every student must find a way to overcome his financial obstacles with or without the help of sources outside of his family. A major factor in the total cost of college is the type of institution selected. By attending a state college or university, a student can MIRIAM KOHNFELDER CHRISTINE KUSELIAS 158 {{@] SENIORS MARTIN KWATOWSKI save substantially on tuition and room and board. Private institutions are usually more expensive, but may have educational advantages for a student, depending upon his projected field of study. Besides the types of institutions involved, Scholar- Ships‘78 =| ee eal another large factor influencing the total cost of college is the family income of the student. Most scholarships, grants, and loans are based on both need and high schoo! NATASHA KONOVALOV LAURIE LACROI CLASSICAL ... achievement. Thus, if a student’s grades are high and his family income low, he may find it easier to receive benefits from contributing groups. There may be many deadends and trick passageways through the college money maze, but one can sucessfully find a path by obtaining all the factual information about one’s prospective college and by scrutinizing all the available sources of financial aid. 1.

So, by the power of the written word, the sorely-missed machine made its comeback. Once again in its old spot, the vendor had, nevertheless, undergone some drastic inner changes. Now, instead of stomach- polluting “junk” food, members of the student 160 J) SENIORS MAITLAND BARBARA LOYD MICHEAL body and even those of the faculty could enjoy wholesome peanuts, raisins, granola bars, or even cheese and crackers.

Yet, despite its new look, the infamous OUT OF ORDER sign periodically reminded passers-by that one of its old faults would forever linger. 1. Some tasty changes made the “natural” way. 2. Seniors, Tonis Thomas and Marvin Scott hunt for an afternoon snack. 3. “Sheer ecstasy!”, thinks Kim Tamaren as she happily experiences the very first bite of Crunchola bar. 4. Luckily, Dawn Taudel finds twenty cents for a bag of nuts.

But there are some very important rules that people are generally not aware of. One of these regulations is Chapter 622. This is a law which was adopted by the Board of Education in 1975 permitting access to all students regardless of race, color, sex, religion, or national origin. Boys are allowed to participate in such traditionally female courses as cooking and sewing. Girls would be permitted to take typically masculine drafting or shop classes, but neither can be required to do so. In the field of athletics, this law provides for equal opportunity to male and female students. Funds for separate teams must be fairly distributed according to the number of people on the team and amount of money available. Courses or clubs cannot discriminate against anyone based on sex, race, color, etc. The advice given by counselors now must include a wide range of choices not projecting a preference for people of a particular race, sex, or national origin. Chapter 622 affects students everywhere and could open up new prospects for their futures. Every student should be aware of this law and take advantage of it; 1. Holly Barrett and Marylin Cre- spo are two active members of the committee of Student Commit- ment to Educational Equity. 2. Tracy Foster takes advantage of an improving girls’ sports pro- gram. 3. Paul Skerker directs Eva Daniels from his Boys’ Patrol post. Next year the segregated Girls’ and Boy’s Patrols will be- come Student Patrol.

She admitted that she was not seeking prestige in such a phenomenon, but modestly felt, through the years, that she could help the class of ’78 reach its goals. Obviously having elected her year after year, the class of ’78 felt that way also. Looking back, Sharlene had realized that her responsibilities deepened, as expected. The fact that “people tend to forget the DAVID PAULA PATTERSON PAXTON BETH PHILLIPS good and remember the bad”, however, did damper Sharlene’s enjoyment of her job as president. Yet, this was overshadowed when, in remembering years past, she was happily reminded that people can “work together and care”. This has been an important factor in the class’ JUDY PERENICK Sheil OS “— ia + GREGG PICHETT reaching its goals. Although Sharlene does not plan to go into politics, her experiences as class president at Classical are ones she will hold as valuable possessions. In the end, Sharlene Moran, in recalling the past four years, commented, “I know now why time is so important ... things end before you even realize they have begun.” 1. Sharlene opens nervous ears to an important finding. 2. Seen chatting with Susan Dasso, Shar- lene feels that friendship is a prize possession. 3. The experienced -Sharlene knows that she must al- ways be prepared with a pen in hand and an open mind. 4. Shar- lene Moran as she looked as presi- dent of her freshman class. SENIORS je 165 Members of the class of ’78 are discovering that three years at Classical has made them different from other Springfield high school seniors. Classical seniors can be easily recognized by certain unique, distinctive characteristics. The main characteristics that distinguish Classical seniors from others appear on the body. Students that attend Classical usually have oddly-shaped legs and bulky ankles due to three years of O.J. Simpson- style manuevers they were forced to make on the spiral, maze-like staircases so popular in the design of the main building. After three DAVID PICKRELL years of homework, compositions, and term papers, the hands of Classical Seniors have been severly battered. The fingernails are nearly nonexistent; most of the skin around the knuckles is worn, and in some severe cases of the “scriveners’ syndrome,” the student's writing hand will actually be unable to grip objects SUSAN PICONE CLASSICAL ... Distinctive Traits wider than a number two pencil. Classical seniors also have large bags under their eyes, a result of three years of intense reading. If the student has more than four major subjects in his senior year, his eyes may often be completely shut due to late night studying. Classical is designed to give the student three years of college preporatory education, but after three years at Classical, most of the students look like they are ready for a convalescent home. 1. Wooden pencils are the top contributors to the deterioration of seniors. 2. This is an example of staircase legs and book-bag arms. 3. Obviously, a heavy read- er.

The first question that popped into his mind was, “I wonder what this is for?” Then he recalled that study period he had decided not to attend. As he headed towards the office, he tried to cogitate a reasonable excuse for his absence, but his nervousness inhibited his ability to think creatively. On arrival at Mr. Hart’s office, his nervousness only increased when he saw the students preceding him receive between one and five hours detention. Finally, the episode would be over; he would have been KATHLEEN ROCHE Qe LYNN ROUSSEAU “sentenced” to an hour’s detention with a warning never to return. Sam would spend the rest of the day describing the adventure to his friends and proclaiming that he would not go to detention for skipping a study. Later, he learned that it is possible to lose early dismissal priviledges for not attending JOSE RODRIGUEZ Classical Punishment detention. He would decide that it is in his best interest to serve his “time.” That’s the way it is when a senior is accused of skipping a class at Classical. The price that most seniors pay for skipping a 50 minute class is double the usual hour’s “sentence” when one considers the fact that he must spend his early dismissal waiting for detention to start. So, no matter how hard one tries, it is very hard to beat the school punishment system. 1. Mr. Hart is the man in charge of checking upon seniors who are accused of not attending a class. 2. For years, the long journey to the annex has been valuable excuse for being late. 3. Being late is not unusual at Classical.

This seemingly least “relevant” course surprisingly attracted thirty-one seniors. This elective dealt with one work, the Bible, as a literary form. Pupils from varying religious backgrounds approached the course differently. Contrary to the expectation that perhaps the Bible would find it hardest to understand it, those with the strongest religious beliefs found it most difficult to approach the Bible as a literary rather than a religious work. According to Miss McCarthy, as the course deepened, however, this problem was less obvious so that many of the students found that their strong beliefs had been enhanced. As the semester came to a close, Miss McCarthy admitted a sense of pleasure that almost everyone, even those with no prior religious training at all, were able to find new religious understanding through this course. She regretted that those thirty-one seniors were able only to scratch the surface of this great work, and hoped that in the future, this elective could be taught over a longer period of time. 1.

Styles often regress to earlier fashions with Classical students going right along with the trends. In the fifties the “in- things” to wear were knee-length skirts and sweaters. Bobby socks, saddleshoes, and three- piece suits were also in their prime during the fifties. And now, although skirts are once again practically the only length worn. And again, men are looking fancy in their three-piece suits. Gauchos, knicker-like pants, reminiscent of the twenties, are “in” again. In the fifties, “cool” black leather jackets were the trademark of juvenile deliquent street gangs, but again in 1978 it is “cool” to flaunt a leather jacket, although colors may vary from dull black to deep brown or maroon. Fashions of the past reappeared in 1978. Students at Classical are well-dressed and in style, whether the fashions are new or old. 1. Darcy Zancan, Aniello Gisolfi and Diane Wesley make a fash- ionable trio. 2. David Byrd models his fashionable 3-piece suit. 3. Rose Silvestri flaunts her “cool” leatherjacket.

Records Regulations, Chapter 622 and Chapter 467 are only a few of the laws concerning education. The Record Regulations insure the confidentiality of the students’ records. A parent and a student fourteen years old or in the ninth grade has the right to see his or her records within two days of the request to see them. The student does not have to give a reason for seeing the records and has the right to see all the records; the temporary record, the transcript, and health records. Not everybody can see DAVID WINSLOW KATHLEEN ZACHOWSKI TAWANNA WINSTON one’s records. Authorized school personnel and representatives from the Department of Education may see one’s records without consent. To release records to a third party such as a college or a scholarship agency, one must give specific written consent for this release. A copy of this consent is 3 retained by the students and one copy is placed in the temporary record. A student's record is an up- ROBERT WRIGHT SEANNA ZAMBONI to-date log of that person throughout his years in school.

Our senior year is finally over. The last exam has been taken; the last book has been returned. It’s all downhill to graduation. Soon we will be watching our caps flying toward the ceiling of the Civic Center. What will happen then? Well ... if you’ve taken physics you'd know that the caps will even- tually fall! On the serious side what will happen when we cross the threshold from the security of Classical into adult life? The world will not casually note our arrival. We have not worked feverishly at Classical for nothing. With the knowledge gained in the classroom and with the competitiveness learned in sports combined with the experiences of everyday life, we will try to “rock” the world. Graduating from the class of nineteen- hundred-and-seventy- eight will be doctors who will find a cure for cancer, No Stopping artists who will bring beauty to the world, writ- ers whose words will make us laugh and cry, and the political leaders of tomor- row. It is our generation that can shape the future. We will set the moral stan- dards of a generation to come. It now seems so far away, but very soon, we might be decid- ing to make peace or war. Soon, with the reins of leader- ship placed in our hands, we will make deci- sions that will make the world better or worse. Our exit from Classical into the world shouldn’t be taken lightly, for it is of monumental importance. We must make the world a better place to live in, even if it does mean rock- ing it a little. So ... when you are in your graduation gown ready to have your picture taken, smile and say, “Look out world, here I come!

When such conditions arise in the life of a Classical student, the results are treacherous, but at times, even comical. One of the rather serious problems is that of mobility. Classical’s maze-like halls were not designed for students with crutches. Doors seem to be always in the way and stairs seem to wind on forever. Often, friendly escorts are needed to carry books and open doors, at no cost to the injured. At first, the injury is a novelty, a conversation piece. An injured student in the first days must respond to the hoards of people asking “What happened?” Stares, pointing fingers, and snickers must also be dealt with. Sudden fame arises as the student becomes “the kid with the crutches”. But, soon all the “fun” is gone, and the afflicted is still left with a broken bone, which is not much fun at all, nor terribly exciting. The long wait until the cast is removed can be painfully long. Dealing with the problems of casts becomes dull and tedious. Activity can be limited depending on the seriousness of the injury. 184 fe FEATURES One Classical basketball player missed the basketball season due to a football injury sustained in the fall. Accidents can occur in various bizarre ways. Some are of the respectable kind, such as those that occur in sports. These can even seem heroic. Gymnastics and wrestling, highly competitive sports, often produce numerous injuries. Gymnasts can often risk quite serious i njuries due to the precision of their sport. More common are the kinds of injuries which make the injured soul die of embarassment. During Winter, bones are often broken on the slippery, hard ice. Many students like to hit the slopes- literally. The fun of tobagganning can unhappily lead one to the office of a smiling bone specialist. The halls of Classical shall never be free of the squeak and shuffle of crutches on the floor, for students of Classical shall continue to break, sprain or dislocate body parts. Perhaps a plaque should be placed in honor of those who, although injured, survived the trials of trekking up five flights of winding stairs, and across State Street to the annex. One sure thing, the list of those who endured this complex maze would be long. cowenennweeee een sneeeananeeee ets his injury. 2. Judy Eaton cracks her knuckles for the camera. 3. Michael Albert, tired from walking on crutches, props his cast up on a desk for a rest. INA PLACE FAR, FAR AWB, KNOTHER SCHOOL YEAR COMES TO AN END- AGROUP OF STUDENTS PLAN on FOR A SUPER SUMMER THAT - CAN ONLY BE DESTRONED BN : EWL FIVAL EX AWS. LED BY THE GOOD FORGES OF STUDENT GOVERNMENT, HAPPY THOUGHTS AND | MEMORIES BEGIN XO | ARISE...AND AWGN 3 EXODUS TAKES PLNCT The school year maze ends joyfully with summer vacation and many new hopes for the future. But the year itself was an entangling piece of history that will never be forgotten. ‘Star Wars” and “Rocky” made movie history, while the death of Elvis Presley revived the Rock-N-Roll of the 50’s. The New York blackout that couldn’t be, came, and left Manhattan in a deluge of looting and arson. The “Son of Sam” killed six young people under the influence of a dog, while Gary Gilmore was shot at the firing squad in spite of protests to capital punish- ment. Anita Bryant went from advertising orange juice to opposing gay rights, and the fighting Yankees took the World Series. What a year! Aside from these more familiar events, there were many personal encounters (of the Third Kind) which we all will remember. The Classical Maze became clearer to each student as he or she advanced, after being confronted with many new problems. Freshmen coped with the physical maze of. the school, occasionally getting lost or confused. Sophomores learned to understand the maze of high school work, to prepare for the future. Juniors tackled probably the hardest of all their schooling years, getting entangled with a job and a new social life. And last come the Seniors who are graduating from the “old” familiar maze into one that would be just beginning, the real world with its own maze of demands. Take care and caution in proceeding through the mazes of the years to come, and enjoy them as you did this past one ...
