In the past as well as in the present cultural activities have played an important part in students’ lives. Weekends are not centered on homework, but on other events, such as dances, “movies, bowling, etc. In the early 70’s, however, protests and rallies played a large part in students’ lives. Students formed them for various reasons, an important one being the drafting of American civilians to war.

He’s the guy who seems to have it all. Joe knows the right places to go, the right clothes to wear, and is always the first person to pick up the latest phrases. Joe seems to do well in everything. He never has to worry about marks. Joe always completes his work and does well. Joe’s also a fine athlete. Although he excels at all sports, he favors individ- ual sports like tennis. Joe’s also quite a success with the women. He considers it a slow day when he has only ten women after him. Joe comes from a long line of Classical paragons. As long as there’s been a Classical, there’s been a student named Joe attending. Through the years, Joe’s gone through many changes. Even in the small span of 1970 to 1979, Joe’s gone through many cultural changes. The first of these changes is the difference of dress. Joe of the early seventies enjoyed a rather casual outfit consisting of a work shirt, bell bottomed jeans with peace patches, work boots and an army jacket. Joe of today would only wear that sort of garb to a sixties costume party. Joe prefers dressing like an All American lvy League preppie. He displays this classic look with short sleeved alligator shirts, straight legged Levi's, docksiders and a golf jacket with the collar turned up. Joe’s hair is consider- ably shorter than it was in the earlier part of the decade. Joe now openly admits to using a blow dryer on his locks and has been seen getting his hair permed to give him that curly look. Academically, Joe doesn’t work as hard anymore. In the early seventies Joe had a lot more competition among his classmates for positions in colleges. Now, because of rising costs and no draft board, many of Joe’s peers either cannot or do not need to go to college. Joe can now glide along doing what’s required instead of sweating out every grade. This does not mean that Joe doesn’t have to work. Joe still has to deal with tests, homework and papers just like he used to. He suffers with the conflicts of doing his schoolwork, maintaining a decent social life, and attempting to hold down a part time job for some spare cash. Somehow, Joe always seems to manage a good social life. Through the seventies, Joe’s always enjoyed going to a concert. His musical tastes have changed during the decade from the politicial messages of Bob Dylan to the stories of life in the streets by Bruce Springsteen. Joe’s gotten into disco sounds and can be seen under the flashing lights of a disco dancing with his latest women. Throughout the seventies, Joe has always found a way to have a good time. Joe and his friends still enjoy going out on Saturday nights and getting rowdy. This can be achieved by hanging out at their spot or cruising the city in Daddy’s Chevrolet. In some ways, Joe hasn't changed a bit during the decade. Perhaps he never will. shows his affection for his fellow man while posing for the 1. Joe Classical : camera. 2.

FEATURES B W 7 Same Ol Stuff What could be worse than having to get up early to get things together just to catch that morning bus ride, for the cramped bus filled itself to the brim with groggy students, only to choke them with the smoke from those funny cigarettes and lovely cancer sticks. Windows had to be opened so all could breathe! But eventually moans and groans from the few wide awake students announced that Classical was quite near. In an instant, all rose, for this was the beginning of another typical school day. Small groups of friends gathered before, during and after school. Groups or stray walkers lined the halls during class.

What did i Hey consider — the 5 majority of students piateried music. to anything else. Homework seemed incomplete without it, concerts would have been non-existent, and big bands would have been unheard of. Muse had to be « one of Mg Pace parts of a teenager 8 life, | : 40 STUDENT LIFE _ These concerts allowed students to see, in person, the sing- ers, comedians, and groups that they all idolized. As a result of concerts’ great popularity, the Springfield Civic Center usually had no problem filling all the seats at their concerts. ‘Chicago, Bruce Springsteen, Boston, Aerosmith and the Moody Blues all added to the history and excitement of _ Springfield. Students were seen singing and dancing down the halls to the music of their superstars weeks after the concerts were performed. Movies also played a big part in the lives of the students. John Belushi set the pace with his movie, ‘Animal House.’’ A regular trend of Toga parties and food fights were a result of this hilarious film. Most students could not wait until they were in their college fraternity or sorority houses, to have the freedom and fun that the Delta’s had. For the sports fan, an occasional football or 1 hockey game was a real treat. Just sitting in the stands rooting for your | team to win, or sitting in front of a television set hoping that — the Red Sox beat the Yankees, was the kind of exciioment : that entertained those dedicated fans. Sometimes, just a quiet night at a friend’s house talking and joking with each other provided enough entertainment to 5 keep one satisfied. - Always ready and willing, Classical students kept themselves entertained in a variety of ways. Whenever a Steve Martin fan said, ‘I'm a wild and crazy guy!’’, a movie nut responded by © saying, ‘‘Really! Do you want to to come to my Toga party?”’ - - STUDENT LIFE 11 Hangin’ Out The philosophy of the average students at Classical has always been that one needs time to relax. They have felt they had to hang out in order to rest their brains and gossip over the latest with their friends. One of the favorite hang out sites was the MacDonalds on State Street; and around MacDonalds to wait for a bus or to grab a quick breakfast before their first class. Many students crammed for tests and did last minute homework there. Mac- Donalds, however, was off limits to students during the school day, when absolutely no one could be found there! The City Library on State Street was the place to go for Classical’s scholars. Although the school day lasted just six 12 STUDENT LIFE short hours, for them it stretched the entire afternoon. Some researched heroes, such as Adolph Hitler and Benedict Ar- nold, and some plunged into the artworks of the 17th and 18th centuries. Others simply went to find the hottest novels on the charts. And for the new driver in town, Travis Auto School on State Street had become the place to go. Before, during, and after school at Travis, students discussed their ‘drives’ with the experts at Travis. Even upon graduation of auto school, stu- dents returned to Travis and its friendly atmosphere. The more relaxed brand of student found the nearby Quad- rangle gave a pleasant hang out site. The fine buildings and green grasses of the Quadrangle offered students a chance to laze around in comfort as well as in beauty. Hanging around did not always lead to a lazy mind and weak body as many thought it would. Many students from Classical discovered that hanging out on the ‘‘other side’’ was much more profitable — they found employment at selected hang out sites throughout the city. Siobhan Campbell, for example, a senior at Classical and an employee of Friendly’s lce Cream Shops on upper State Street, found that “working at Friend- ly’S was a very good learning experience.” Everyone needs time to relax — and students at Classical considered it as much a part of their curriculum as Algebra or American History.

STUDENT LIFE 13 Cafeteria Capers Half-way through lunch period, the cafeteria was relatively quiet; the students were happily settled at their tables for a normal day in Classical’s cafeteria. Suddenly a sharp, offen- sive beep sounded through the cafeteria. Bewildered stu- dents looked up from their lunches, but continued talking. Another insistent beep cut the air. Hands suspended midway to mouths. Eyes glanced around in confusion. What was this strange noise? All at once, everyone noticed a few well- known school athletes marching around the cafeteria. One wore a sign on his back, while another was equipped with a megaphone — the source of the beeps. “O.K., everybody,” he shouted into the megaphone, “Who's going to the soccer game?”’ Laughter rippled through the student body. “Hey, you!’’ he yelled, jabbing at an innocent bystander, “Are you going?”’ 14 STUDENT LIFE “Yes, yes!’ the poor soul babbled. the Toy for Joy fund.

These teachers were asked if Classical students had changed since their school days, and if so, how had they changed. Everyone, including Mr. Craig Dinnie and Miss Ann McCarthy, had different views on the actual changes, but all agreed that Classical had definitely changed. Most agreed that students have changed. Many said that their appearances are greatly different. Presently students are dressing up neatly and stylishly for school. In the words of one faculty member, “‘Students are much better groomed than they’ve been in a long time. ”’ The attitude of students toward school has also changed. For the most part, students want to come to school and do well in school. This is a positive change from a few years ago when students were rolling into class intoxi- cated and not caring what was going on. Students nowadays are also burdened with a heavier course load. Years ago courses focused basically on English, Science, Math, Latin, and French. Now students have broader fields to choose from. There are a great number of courses ranging from Spanish to psychology. Probably the greatest change cited in Classical students is the large numbers in general courses. These are hard working students, intent on getting a good education but do not plan on attending college. In the past there were Mr. Russell Peterson - Principal Mr. Neil Yesu - Assistant Principal Times Have Changed Classical, is it changing? very few of these students. For the most part, Classical was Strictly a college preparatory school. With the in- creased number of general students, some teachers predict a move toward comprehensive high school education in Classical’s future. Classical’s students have definitely changed, and as one teacher put it, “‘They’ll keep on changing for as long as time goes on.’’ Attitudes change along with fads and styles, but for the most part the future looks promising for Classical students. Mr. Philip Hart - Assistant Principal New Views Teachers come and teachers go, each having his own views of the school he taught at. The same holds true for the new teachers at Classical, Mrs. Henry and Mrs. Hoffman. Mrs. Hoffman, a former junior high teacher, commented that ‘“‘Classical students are more mature than most.’’ She also believed that Classical had a very organized structure and curriculum. In the future, Mrs. Hoffman hopes that Classical will keep its high standards. Another new teacher, Mrs. Henry, had different views of Classical. She felt that most students were “‘basically the same.’’ All the students she met were very friendly. Both teachers enjoyed teaching at Classical. They felt the school was great. They hoped their future here would be both enjoyable and rewarding. Mrs. Hoffman, a new teacher at Classical. New students also are present at Classical.

Classical is lucky to have many great musicians, athletes, carpenters, and travelers among its faculty. Putting together a faculty orchestra would be no trouble at all. The group could include Mr. John Christie, Classical’s band director and avid musician, Mr. Craig Dinnie, drummer, Mrs. Kathleen Briotta, violinist, and Miss Ann McCarthy, pianist. Maybe in the future, students can look forward to hearing such an orchestra of talented musicians. Also amid the faculty, Classical has a good number of sportsmen and athletes. One sportsman, Mr. Edward Lundrigan, enjoys his free time deep-sea fishing. He hopes some day to catch a big one. Many other teachers, such as Mr. Clark Aleem and Miss Ann McCarthy enjoy a good game of tennis or racket ball to liven up their day. In the winter, many teachers including Mr. Pervonga, Mr. Lamereaux, Miss A. McCarthy, and Mr. Macomber like to feel the cool breeze blowing in their faces while skiing down a snowy slope. What better way to occupy a spare winter afternoon! | Mr. Paul Robbins, director of the Classical choirs and Madrigal, expressed an interest in woodworking. He enjoys hammering out his own fine creations in his spare time. In the future, when a substitute is needed for woodshop, why not call on Mr. Robbins. Another interesting spare time activity is that of Mr. Francis Girr. He is a frequent visitor to area museums. Mr. 20 STAFF Mrs. Jean Bogan - English Mrs. Sandra Camp - Art Mr. John Christie - Music Girr enjoys such courses as Japanese Block Art, and sculpturing. He shares this activity with many students in his Culture Vultures club. Many teachers also enjoy traveling. One such teacher, Mr. Pervonga takes frequent trips to Greece. Other teachers also enjoy an occasional trip to picturesque Europe and other parts of the world, In a few years they may be taking space shuttles to the moon. Most of Classical’s faculty had some very exciting and unusual spare time activities. Perhaps the most unusual, however, was that of Mr. Sawyer. His answer to what he does in his spare time was simply, ‘‘l’ll never tell!’ and, who knows what that could mean.

Art Mr. David Douglas - Language Every day, at the sound of the fourth period bell, hundreds of students eager to receive their lunches, began flowing into the cafeteria. There to meet them was none other than the Classical Cafeteria Staff. This group of diligent workers, led by Mrs. Margaret Lyons, labored hard baking and cooking food throughout the day to get the lunches prepared on time.. Although preparing the lunches was a tough job, it was much easier than in the past when everything had to be made from scratch. When serving an average of about 1,500 lunches a day, the cooks were lucky to have such little conveniences as canned ravioli, frozen meat patties, and canned vegetables to help them along with their job. Recently, however, a new program had been installed, creating more hassles for the cooks. This program called for them to provide a variety of lunches daily. On a set day, they may have had to prepare a choice such as hot dogs and fries, spaghetti and veal, and ham and cheese sandwiches. In this case, more time and preparation was needed to prepare the lunches. Presently the cooks manage very well with the cooking facilities available to them. In the future, however, they would like to see Classical acquire more cooking space and better equipment. 22 STAFF Hidden in a far corner of the basement is a small pleasant room, known to the teachers as the faculty cafeteria. It is a place where the teachers can retreat for a few minutes of peace and quiet, a quick cup of coffee, or lunch and a chat with fellow faculty members. They can eat peacefully without worrying about being trampled by the many students in the student cafeteria. This lunchroom was an appreciated change from the days when the teachers ate in their classrooms. It also eliminated the inconvenience of bringing a lunch from home. The teachers may purchase lunches ranging widely from club and coldcut sandwiches to spaghetti or fish and fries. Whether teachers run to the cafeteria for lunch or to escape from the noise of students, it definitely provides a refuge from daily stress. Mr. Thomas Dowd - Social Mrs. Cathlene Smith - Office Miss Marilyn Freedman - Math = A typical table at the teacher’s cafeteria. Mr. Robert Farr - Science Mr. Gary Watson - Counselor in the past few years is that teachers are not only educators but people too. Working Together One of the greatest discoveries that students have made In the past, students had a distorted image of teachers. They were seen as strict dictators who would talk of nothing but their class subject. This often made it difficult for teachers to relate to their students because of the fear students had of them. Many of the past images, however, have changed for the better. Teachers and students are communicating with one another on matters other than class work. They are coming together in such organizations as the Student- Teacher Advisory Board. Here they discuss common interests such as the grading system and student evaluations. Student-teacher relations are also going better from another point of view. Students and teachers are uniting in such events as basketball and volleyball games, and they are working together in fund raisers and benefits such as the annual blood bank. Teachers are also advising many of the student clubs. For example, Mrs. Mazzi of the Foreign Langugage Club heads the group that puts on the international weekend with foreign exchange students. Also, Mr. Grancis Girr heads a group of students inter- ested in the fine arts; they call themselves Culture Vultures. Mr. Craig Dinnie enjoys advising a group interested in the game of concentration, chess. In this way teachers and students are getting together and relating to each other on an equal basis.

If something bothered them, they would go directly to their teacher or administration and let them know what was on their minds. Classical students also took advantage of the freedom of speech allowed to them. One option was a Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council which was recently established. Selected students discussed problems and aids for the Springfield schools and the surrounding community with the superintendent of Springfield schools. A Student-Faculty Advisory Board also offered concerned students a chance to say what was on their minds. They discussed such aspects as class rank and open campus. They also invited suggestions from the entire school on ideas to be discussed at their meetings. Some of the most concerned members of the student body even attended the Springfield School Committee meetings. There, a major problem concerning the school itself was brought up: the renovation of Classical High School. Little action was taken on that project; however, the School Committee then knew how some students felt on the issue. Since the freedom of speech for students increased during the decade, the school and the surrounding areas also benefited. New projects and ideas were begun due to the fine opinions from the outspoken students from Classical High.

Despite the typical attitude of students toward their teachers, ‘‘My teacher’s a drag,”’ or ‘‘l’ve got whatsername for English this year,’’ the faculty at Classical accomplished a name for themselves. They were more popular among the students because of their interesting classes, but especially because of the extensive amount of time they put into extracurricular activities throughout the year. Many of the teaching members of Classical gave up hours after school each day and time on the weekends to aid students in various clubs, sports and academic activities. In the club department, faculty members were needed to advise all activities: the Biology and Chemistry clubs, the Mr. Edward Lundrigan - Science Drama, Psychology and Afro American clubs, the Ski club and the Chess club — to name only a few. The advisors of the clubs offered their knowledge in the subject, and in turn the students shared their know-how with the group — thus, making the club a learning experience for the advisors as well as the club members. Athletics at Classical also demanded advisors, or coaches, for each sport. Mr. McLaughlin, a very active coach in the athletic field, stated that coaching three sports took much time and energy since it required remaining after school until six o’clock some afternoons and practicing on Saturdays. Also offering their expertise were Mr. Tipton, Mrs. Desrochers, Mr. Schmid, Mr. Kokonowski, Ms. Camp, Mr. Keough, Mr. Smith, Mr. Ligarski, Miss Rozzi, and many, many others! Even the academic field at Classical was open for more than just the six hours of regular classes. For the many interested, there was the Mathletes, As Schools Match Wits team, and the Senate. These activities, similar to the clubs and sports, needed interested faculty members to act as advisors. The Blue and White, the Recorder and Student Government also required advisors to work with them during the school day. Governments of each class too, needed advisors to oversee and participate in certain class activities. These class advisors however, were not paid for after school participation, although many activities often ran until long after school hours. The devotion given by all of the advisors and coaches won the admiration of many students from Classical High. Mrs. Helen Landry - Language Mr. Raymond Lussier - Language STAFF 2: A class boom is simply a subject or interest which flared during a given year; and Classical has certainly had its Class Booms share. As the rock groups were being born at the turn of the decade, music at Classical ‘banged’ into action. Following the music, Home Economics began cooking. This time, however, mixed classes of boys and girls were being experimented with. The experiement proved successful as more and more men felt the need to learn the basics of home life. aR a eA th ee ee git aa While modern art was given recognition all over the world, Classical’s art courses and advanced art courses rapidly filled with many talented students. Cera ae Psychology, certainly a fad of the seventies, attracted many students, both men and women. These students had hopes of going on into social and psychological careers; or they just tried to understand what made them tick. The English courses too, played a major part in the elect- ive program of the senventies. The freedom allowed to seniors in choosing their own field of English gave them the chance to understand their interests and direct their interests toward a successful future. These, and many other booms have occurred, and lots more are expected in coming years at Classical High. Over a ten year period, many so-called class booms occurred. a Mr. David Macomber - Language Mr. Arnold Matz - Language Mrs. Maria Mazzei - Language Miss Mary McCarthy - Language Mr. Daniel McLaughlin - Gym 26 STAFF Distridbutive Education Jackie Coleman knows her business. Mr. Daniel Meder -Social Mr. James O’Donnell - Science Dr. Philip Miller - Language Over the decade more and more students at Classical have enrolled in general courses. With the increase in students new and different courses were added. This year the newest program added to the curriculum was Distributive Education. Distributive Education is primarily for general students; however, college preparatory students should be able to take this course in the future. Distributive Education dealt with teaching students in business related fields. Companies, such as Bradlees and Steigers, provided jobs for students. The qualified individuals worked about 15 hours a week. In addition to the pay they were graded on their performances on the job, as well as in the classroom. Managers and Mrs. Ann Henry, teacher of Distributive Education, evaluated students. In the classroom students were also responsible for written and class work. Distributive Education was held for double periods. During this time span students were taught how to fill out check stubs, sales slips, and other basic items in the business field. For the 40 students who took this course, it gave them an idea of how business operates. This type of course was beneficial for students because of the knowledge they gained about business. Hopefully in the future more programs, like this, will be added to the curriculum at Classical. oe Mrs. Mary Mushok - Math 28 Mrs. Laurie Pieterse - English Mr. Baron McDuffee - Counselor At the end of each school year, Classical students chose at least four courses for the coming year. These courses ranged from Advanced Physics to Art 1 to Math 4s. The reason for the wide diversity of courses is that in the society of today, students must have a wide education in order to support themselves in a successive future. Years ago, students had to take Latin, whereas today it was a choice students made. Students were also required to take English, Math, a Foreign Language, Science, and American History, just as today. There wasn’t a wide diversity of levels in each subject, however, as there was today. French, for example, came in 1,2,2),2ja,3,3x,3xa,4x,4m, and French Conversation and writing. Thus, a particular French course was suitable for any and all students. In offering the diversification of courses to students, the students were allowed to work at the best pace for themselves. They were also urged to deal with what they did best through their selection of interesting courses. Course diversification did not only benefit the students academically, but the freedom of choosing his own courses may have helped him to overcome his boredom with school life.

Through learning to blend what was good from the past with what is relevant for the future, Mr. John Sawyer saw a good future for the school. This idea of blending the past with the future seemed to have been the key in the development of the newest program at Classical — Distrubitive Education. In looking ahead into the future, faculty members saw the need to educate students in the field of business. Thus, the students involved in the course, could graduate with some preparations for a career in business. Also viewed in the future was a renaissance of the liberal arts and a decrease of general courses. Although the percentage of the general students enrolled at Classical had increased over the decade, Mr. David Macomber felt a decrease would begin, and more college preparatory students would head toward the liberal arts again. As for Mr. Robert Smith’s opinion of the future of Classical High, he felt that Classical would not have a future unless a decision was soon made about the building. Since over the decade, proposals and suggestions concerning the renovation or rebuilding of Classical High School continually arose and fell, Mr. Smith felt nothing could be said or done about the future without a sturdy building to work with. However, since Classical was always noted as a fine Is this the future of Classical? college preparatory school, a slightly deteriorating building certainly will not affect the reputation it has always had. STAFF 29 Every year teachers have to put up with the problem of student discipline. In today’s world, teachers want to be able to control classes without having to waste their valuable teaching time reprimanding their students. guy wy Teachers wouldn’t have to reprimand students if each student controlled his own behavior. Most teachers feel that cooperation between themselves and their students is the answer to disciplinary problems. For teachers to have meaningful relationships with students, students must act relatively maturely. Though most students do act well, teachers still have to deal with problem students. Teachers feel that if they are to deal with these students, they should be allowed to control their classes the way they feel necessary. In fact, teachers not only have to spend time in class watching students, but they also have to contend with watching students who are in office detention. Teachers are unhappy about this because it takes up their valuable time. Another reason that this practice has grown in disfavor with teachers is that it makes teachers feel like babysitters taking care of someone else’s kids. Actually, Classical’s discipline problem is not bad. Hopefully, it never will be. In the mean time, it is up tc teachers and students to keep classes moving smoothly.

Mr. John Sullivan - Math Mrs. Phyllis Thomas - English Teacher X woke up at seven o’clock in the morning, started his car, and drove off to his job. Traffic was always stopping for school buses and red lights, but the teacher finally arrived at the Annex parking lot. He dodged the students who gathered there, only to find that no parking space was available to him. The reason: Some Classical student occupied his parking space. The main reason for this problem that Teacher X experienced was that every year more Classical students drive to school. This year it became quite a problem. Because the conditions at the Annex parking lot were never very good, the problem became ampilified. If it rained, the area around the Annex became drenched, and now the mobs of kids and the overcrowding were proving to be too much. The parking lot near the main building was crowded every day this year, and to have teachers park there and then walk to the Annex was asking too much. Yet, students wanting to park cars had to either pay 75¢ a day, or try to find a legal parking spot near the school. To relieve themselves of that problem, the students decided to use the Annex parking lot. That would have been okay, except that now teachers were displaced, and the teachers became upset. Finally, after four weeks of school, the teachers started to make sure that they had enough parking spaces for themselves by standing watch over the parking lot and evicting students as they entered. This problem seemed to have been cleared up ... but wait till next year. Mrs. Andrea Tarzynski -- Mr. Miles Tipton - Gym Language Mrs. Betty Moody - Counselor STAFF 31 Miss Barbara Weissbrod - Math 32 STAFF Mr. James Wilkie - Counselor Mr. William Young - Social Blue and White asked teachers in Classical if they felt that pass fail courses are effective and fair to students. The answers were varied. Most teachers felt that the pass fail system was ineffective because it doesn’t reward better students. This feeling was best expressed by Mr. Paul Robbins, who said, ‘‘Pass fail is not a fair system because it doesn’t distinguish between the student who is barely getting by, and the student who is outstanding and superior.’’ It is also hard to award merit to students in pass fail courses. Pass fail tends to foster a no test, no exam environment, which, as Mr. Edward Lundrigan stated, could seriously limit a teacher’s analysis of student progress. These are the reasons why pass fail seems to be harmful to hard- working students. Many teachers felt that pass fail could be good. Their reasoning was that pass fail takes away the pressures normally experienced by our young ‘‘scholars’’ Students don’t have the same fears that our present grading sys- tem has compared with pass fail. Because of this, stu- dents wouldn’t be as afraid to try to learn because, though their answers may not be correct, they wouldn’t be completely wrong. Pass fail tends to have an easy go- ing air to it. No more would students be worried about getting hassled by their peers because they had a low, passing grade, for the apparently did as well as others who passed. Another idea expressed by a teacher was that the student should be the one to make the choice on how to be graded. This idea would let the more competetive students Miss Isabelle Brown - Librarian Se Sharon Yesu studies hard to pass a test. get grades, while others could get the satisfaction and security from the simplicity of pass fail. Of course, this idea runs into trouble when teachers have to make out report cards, but this is an idea worth looking into. The pass fail system appeared to meet a lot of opposition. Though most teachers don’t regard it as effective, its real value could only be determined by how it would help students to meet their future goals. Mrs. Jeanne Wessman - Language Miss Mary Corcoran - Counselor Mrs. Frances Evans-Social 4 Miss Maryann Koroczko-English Mr. James Podworski-English Mr. John Sawyer-English Mr. Stanley Stolarz-English Miss Ann McCarthy, English teacher and Blue and White yearbook advisor, left Classical to become a vice principal at Technical High School. One may think that the reason she left was because she didn’t like Classical, but her reasons are much more sincere than that. She left because she wanted to help others. Yearbook asked Miss McCarthy why she left Classical, and what she felt about it. Miss McCarthy said, ‘‘l am leaving because | feel that administration needs good strong people, people who are optimistic and willing to work hard. It needs both teachers and students who are interested in curriculum development. Basically, it needs people who want to help establish the best learning environment in our schools.”’ When a teacher leaves, and students too, it is a good time to find out what one feels about the school. As for Miss McCarthy, Classical was a great place to be. She said, ‘| loved working at Classical-in fact, | never really considered it working. It was inspirational and rewarding. | never once regretted having to go to school in the morning-unless, of course, it was snowing and | wanted to go to the mountains.”’ Miss McCarthy left after the first marking period, but she was already popular with everyone who knew her. Probably it was because she really liked teaching. STAFF 33 In 1980, Classical is due to have its accreditation checked by a group of teachers from all over the Eastern Seaboard. If Classical is accredited, colleges feel that Classical’s standard of teaching is up to their level, and that anyone graduating from Classical has been taught correctly. If Classical passes the next group of accreditors’ examinations, Classical will be accredited for ten more years. If not, Classical will be put on probation and must improve. Will Classical get accredited in 1980? It is most likely that Classical will. Blue and White talked with Mr. Peterson about accreditation. He felt confident that Classical would get its accreditation, because Classical has good teaching. When asked if Classical is losing its ‘clout’, and possibly its accreditation, Mr. Peterson replied saying that Classical is . aS good as ever. But, Mr. Peterson said, that less students go to more prestigious colleges than years ago because it is a lot harder to get accepted to these colleges. There are more people competing to get into these colleges than ever, so there are less openings. Also, Classical, being an older building, may not have the best facilities, but that doesn’t stop Classical from being a good school. Academically, Classical is very good. Its teaching staff has helped it to get many 4’s and 5’s in Advanced Placement exams. The teaching staff is a definite asset to Classical. It is Classical the school, not the building, that makes Classical great. a Miss Janet Trementozzi-Art Mrs. Rose Rubino-Office Miss Gail Mayweather-Office Miss Modestine Jamison-Office The two most important people in Mrs. Hariet Widland-English Sorry, you failed. Don’t bother me when | am resting. Classical. STAFF A decade has passed, and now Classical moves into a What ify All Means new era. It will be an era of change from the present one. The school has moved from a strict college preparatory = | school to a more diversified high school. The basic foundings and ideas of Classical are changing. The reasons? Simply put, teaching and learning at Classical are changing from the college preparatory type of school to the comprehensive type school. i Years ago, Classical students learned only certain subjects. There was no diversity of courses. Now students can choose from a wide selection of courses. It is said that in those ‘older’ days the work was very hard, but if one compared it to the information that students today must learn, it would probably seem elementary. Indeed, though the courses at Classical may not be as hard and tedious as before, the amount of learning has increased. The great variety in courses itself is a major step in the change from a C.P. school to a comprehensive one. No longer does the school system have to turn out only C.P. Students. Now, students graduating from Classical can go into the arts, psychology, physical education, or any of the old fields, such as the sciences and humanities. The problem is that this idea goes against the Springfield plan. In the Springfield plan, there is one high school for C.P., one for business, one for technical training, and one for the vocational fields. If one of these schools does not teach what is expected, the entire Springfield school system could be in jeopardy of losing its original principles.

Information in the Guidance office.”’ The announcements listed in the bulletin are just a few of the varied activities a typical student encounters during her four years at Classical. The hectic lifestyle of a typical high school student is quite a change from eight years ago when she was in third grade. Back then, she got up much later, but went to bed much earlier. Getting to school on time was no problem because of the short walk to a neighborhood school. At 11:30 she came home to a warm meal cooked by her mother, and spent a leisurely hour chatting with her about the first half of the school day. After school, she played with her friends. She looked forward to Friday and Saturday nights when she could stay up until 9:00 to watch “The Brady Bunch’ and “The Partridge Family.’’ A great change has taken place since third grade, but much of the same routine has remained. She rises from her warm bed at 6:00 A.M., in order to face a long, six-hour day of school. The short walk to school has evolved into a twenty to thirty minute ride on a smoke-filled, people-packed bus. She’s moved further into the city with more people and places to see, and more experiences to encounter — more friends to meet, games to watch and cheer for, pep rallies, and other activities mentioned in the bulletin. Walking to the Annex is an experience in itself! Lunch is a totally rude awakening from eight years back. The pace is quick, the lines are long, and the food is ... well, it’s food. The hourly lunch has evolved into a mere twenty-five minute gobble. Many students resort to eating a chocolate chip cookie-twinkie-milk lunch instead of wasting precious time standing in a lunch line. Other students skip lunch entire- ly to finish up work that is due the next period. Though the food is not the greatest at Classical, lunch has one good point — it’s a break-up from the daily pattern at Classical. From 2:10 P.M. and on, any number of events take place. Some students go to various sports practices. Others attend club meetings including Foreign Language, Afro-Am, Math- letes, and the Senate. For those students reaching the magic age of sixteen, the downtown driving schools are available for lessons. The downtown area also offers dozens of stores to cater to all of the needs of the students. As soon as Friday comes, peers are making plans for the weekend. Sunday night is reserved for the homework. The plans most likely include a Bulldog game, and in the night maybe a movie, a dance, or a few parties. Just as the ten- year-old looks forward to her favorite TV shows on the week- end, the seventeen-year-old awaits Friday and Saturday for her days to relax and have fun. While many qualities are the same in the daily routine of the elementary and high schoolers, one great difference is pre- sent — the mounting responsibilities of the high school stu- dent. These responsibilities include job-hunting, college ap- plications, and decisions as to what direction their lives are heading. Those playful afternoons with friends have been dissolved by work (at home and in an office or store), and planning the future. The spaces and places of the high schooler have expanded to match the growing needs of the student. Serious thought is put into the future of the students at Classical in order that the change from high school to post- graduate life will be just as smooth as the transition from the elementary level to the high school level. 1.

It signified the end of a decade during which most of their teenage years fell. Of course, everyone knows that those hassle-filled, glorious years are ‘‘the best years of your life’’. Moreover, it marked the year of graduation, the moment all had long anticipated. For three, in some cases four, years, the seniors of Be ’'79 had listened to some other class shout its __ cheers, while their class became drowned out somewhere in the background. Then, the date on their class rings would inevitably remind them that they were still underclassmen; that time passed so slowly. Now, this year, as the class of 79 stepped into the foreground, they realized that time had actually flown too quickly. Proudly donning their class hats, advertising that they had finally made it, some wished that their high school days would never end. All of Classical’s seniors had caught “‘seventy-nine fever’. Many had previously experienced this disease. However, at the time, it was more or less a chronic plague. One knew that he had the symptoms if he frequently felt ‘‘cheated’’ out of a ‘‘B’’ by one FARID AKRAY 181 Northampton Ave. LYLE AKERS 27 Middlebrook Dr. BRICE AKERS 144 Harvard Ave. point, or if he missed the honor roll by one grade. Consequently, he would have frequent attacks of frustration, followed by spells of anger. So, it proves that he number ‘“‘seventy-nine ’ can give many seniors a pain as well as a fever.

The senior class officers were elected, and took their places in Classical’s student government. The job done by the new officers thus far has proved that Clas- sical’s seniors made good choices in their candi- dates. Many events have taken place this year, thanks to active officers: Sandy Stambovsky president, He- lene Clay vice-president, Mary Walsh secretary, Ruth Bradley treasurer, and representati yes Sherri Capone, Joanne Spinelli, Luke Williams, and Katie Danaher. The job of representatives is to find out what will their class so that they may bring it to the attention of the officers. They also act as chairpersons for committees. The class president is responsible for the overall activities and happiness of the senior class. Sandy does her best to do what the class wants. ‘‘The only purpose of the class officers is for the stu- dents’ benefit. Sandy had been involved in student government since the ninth grade, holding the office of vice- president in freshman and junior years.

At this time, they think of their new lives in terms of college, work, or marriage. However, four members of the Class of ’79 took time to look through another perspective, Classical High School, when two questions were directed to them. Each chose ei- ther one or both of these questions to answer. The first of these queries dealt with Classical’s effect on their futures. It asked what non-material object will they take from the school when they leave. With a nostalgic outlook, Kelly Watkins claimed that she will take “the many moments”, and the images of the people she has met. In her eyes, Classical has provided memories that no one can take away. She explained that she will advance into new walks of life in the basis of these memories. On the other hand, Ruth Bradley will take along the guidance she has received in the past three years. She best summed up her thoughts by quot- ing Mrs. Smith, the ‘‘priceless’’ counselors’ office secretary, whose famous words to her were, RICHARD CASSADA 24 Westbrook Dr. Hockey WILLIAM CASSADA 24 Westbrook Dr. Soccer, Will and Ave. Ski Club 44 SENIORS ‘“‘What can | do for you now, Ruth?’’ Yvette Un- derdue took the same line of thinking. “ ... | will be taking the knowledge and guidance that many of my teachers shared with me; so | can share them with others in the world today.’ Luke Williams ‘‘prays’’ that he will be able to take the ability to work toward his ideals. He strives for a better life in a better society. He believes that everyone has this common ideal, but has stopped struggling for it. However, Luke feels his exper- iences ‘‘... here at Classical have reinforced my committment to push one step further toward my goals.”’ The second question dealt with the future of Clas- sical, itself; how those questioned would like to see it if they returned. Yvette answered by saying that she hoped to see a greater ‘‘eagerness to learn’”” on the students’ part. Elaborating on Yvette’s statement, Luke claimed that he would like to see the students taking book knowledge, and applying it to practical problems and situa- tions. x oN SUSAN CHABIN KIM CHAPIN 419 Eastern Ave. 53 Pigeon Dr. Ski Club Chem.

Perhaps the most important was a knowledge of future plans. However, many seniors did not know what they wanted to do after high school. But the senior counselors, Mrs. Betty Moody and Mr. Baron McDuffee, had much infor- mation to help indecisive students. They often suggested that seniors read the Occupational Handbook and the Vocational Guide for possible career choices. Mr. McDuffee and Mrs. Moody also felt that the ASV AB, Armed Services Voca- tional Aptitude Battery Test could help a student to see where his interests lie. Once a student had an idea of what he wanted to do, the counselors could help him choose the correct colleges to look into. A student could then look through college catalogues and attend college conferences to get a better view of these colleges. When a senior had an idea of the colleges he wished to apply to, he could then take advantage of the new career education counselor, Mr. John Doyle, and his computer. The computer gave stu- dents information on college courses and college LISA FALVO CRAIG FANTI 109 Gralia St. 171 Atwater Rd.

Sam stayed busy reading college catalogues and attending college confer- ences. SAT, financial aid, and college application forms had to be completed and mailed before their deadlines.

The costs of preparing for college kept Sam miserable. Finally, he got a job at McDonald’s. Then time had to be divided be- tween his homework, job, and girlfriend, Sally Senior. This after school job helped to finance Sam's pre-college expenses. In school, homework and research papers kept him busy, but concentrating was difficult. He would dream about his future, which to him was more promising than the present. Sam realized that in college there would be even more hassels, _1. Rhonda Brace calculates a physics problem. 2.

To the members of Scribe, Classi- Cal’s literary magazine, carnations mean mon- ey. Ideal as inexpensive fundraisers, they have helped to pay for the cost of printing the maga- zine for several years. Although Scribe was the first to have flower sales, many other organizations around the school have followed suit. So, this year, carna- tions have helped Classical students to cele- brate many occasions. Student Government found them a profitable way to promote school spirit. On Halloween, Scribe hoped to start a more unique trend by holding the first ‘‘Secret Admir- er’ carnation sale. For a slightly higher price than usual, a student could have a flower sent anonymously, or with a signed tag. The fact that the shyer members of the student body could secretly express their feelings for that “certain someone’ made this new sales tactic a huge success. Because the members of MELINDA HERMENET 37 Westernview St. Art Service ROBERT HESS 81 Dewitt St. Blue White 52 SENIORS Scribe were sworn to secrecy, the lucky ‘‘ad- mirees’’ were kept in suspense.

HELEN KIREJCZYK 334 Franklin St. Banquet Comm., NHS, PELT Band Trend Setters This year saw many new trends come in, and many old favorites stay around. Here at Classical, seniors showed changing tastes in everything from television to clothes. In the first category, television, three comedies topped the seniors’ list as most popular. A new show, MORK AND MINDY, concerned Mork from the planet Ork and his adventures in Colorado as he studied human life. The other two most popular shows were: SOAP, a spoof of soap operas where characters experience every possible problem; and SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, a live comedy variety show featuring such comic regulars as Gilda Radner and John Belushi. Belushi was considered by the seniors as one of this year’s best comedians, not only because of his success on Saturday Night Live but also be- cause he appeared in one of the seniors’ favorite movies, ANIMAL HOUSE, a comedy about col- lege life which sparked a fad of “toga” parties across the country. In addition to John Belushi, Steve ‘‘a wild and ANTHONY KOWAL 320 Franklin St. Mathletes, NHS, Scribe EDWARD KNYBEL 58 Dutchess St. AMY KUNHARDT 149 Catalpa Ter.

Besides Animal House, the seniors chose two other movies as best; UP IN SMOKE, with comedy team Cheech and Chong as two guys who get high all the time, and GREASE, starring Olivia Newton-John and John Tra- volta in a musical comedy about high school life in the 50’s. Seniors’ musical interests were, of course, all rock. One of the most popular groups, AER- OSMITH, sang the Beatles’ Come Together in the movie Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Another group, BOSTON, had a very popular first album entitled BOSTON. Only one of the most popular groups had a most popular song-LYNARD SKYNARD’S FREEBIRD.

Shop, NHS, Psychology Club At Classical, a senior has a wide variety of English courses to choose from. One of these courses deals with a subject very popular to- day, science fiction. The science fiction course was taught on the general and college prep levels. The general course was taught by Mr. Henry Brady, and the college prep course was taught by Mr. Stanley Stolarz. The course is similar to a regular English class, but the litera- ture is taken from the field of science fiction. Instead of reading books by Shakespeare and other traditional authors, students in the sci- ence fiction class read books by Ray Bradbury, Aurthur Clarke, and Isaac Asimov. The class has been taught for seven years. The purpose of the science fiction class is to help students to understand the issues being dis- cussed concerning the real worl of science. Ideas such as robots, test-tube babies, and space travel were all science fiction thirty or forty years ago. Today all these things are sci- entific facts. In the science fiction class, stu- dents often realize that what once was consid- ered purely science fiction can come to pass in the real world. So the students in the science fiction class could be reading tomorrow’s facts today. 1. Mr. Stolarz ponders over some science fiction literature. 2. Ed Brodie engrossed in the trials and tribulations of Michael Valentine Smith. 3. Mark Hogan seems to doubt what Mr. Stolarz is saying. 4.

WALTER MECHAM Cross Country, Track JAMES MEFFEN ELIZABETH MERCHANT Switch On the first few days of school, underclassmen usually walk the halls with a lost expression on their faces. This year, those perplexed underclass- men were joined by a number of seniors. As trans- fer students, they, too, had reason to be lost. Usually, a student chooses a high school in junior high. If during the first days of the freshman or sophomore year, he decides that he does not like the school, he transfers at that time. However, for various reasons, a surprising number of students transferred to Classical as seniors. As is often the circumstance, some had just moved to the city. Then again, others had caused discipline prob- lems, and were forced to leave the school. This is often a practice of private schools. The General course here at Classical, too, was inviting to out- siders, who believed that its courses are less diffi- cult than those offered at the school they had been attending. Yet, those who transferred with the intention of taking the College Preparatory course found it more difficult than expected. For this reason, some underclassmen transferred out of here. On the whole, though, once they adapted to their surroundings, these transferred seniors agreed that they wished that they had made the move earlier.

The class of ‘‘79’’ has made tremendous progress over the years. This class was comparatively smaller than previous classes, and the students were thinly spread. At first, unity was weak. For a time little attention was given to class spirit. Because students were accustomed to their own groups of friends they tended to remain within those circles. Consequently, the class as a whole was virtually unknown. However, as they became familiar with the school and what it had to offer, they began to come out of their private circles to form a class unit. Atten- dance at school events such as hockey and foot- ball games, rallys and dances became greatly im- proved. As seniors this year, the students reached a Climax of liveliness. Expressing themselves with loud spirit, they soon had no trouble letting the rest of the school know that they were alive. By the end of the year, they had certainly left their mark on Classical.

It was not uncommon to see copies of Shakespear’s Taming of the Shrew, or Dick- en’s Pickwick Papers laying around, neglected by their recluctant readers. Perhaps it was justi- fyable to gripe about these literary classics which were dealt out one after the other by English teachers, who wished their students to appreciate tion began to improve. Sure, students were given the old standards, but often, the teachers used more contemporary works to instruct their classes; books which the students could ‘“‘relate to’’ better. Seniors, especially, profited from this change. Varying English courses were created to suit their particular reading tastes. Consequently, science fiction fans were found burying themselves in works by Vonnegut, and Asimov. War stories the likes of All Quiet On the Western Front, and Catch 22 provided seniors with a more enjoyable way to study the conflicts of man. Fantasy lovers could enter the world of Tolkien’s The Hobbit. In keeping up with the changing times, students in- KATHLEEN A. QUIRK 242 Mallowhill Rd.

But, about a decade ago, the situa- terested in journalism were given The New York Times to analyze and study ‘‘all the news that’s fit to print’. And for those curious about the literary value of the Bible, there was a course in which they could study many versions of the “Good Book’’. Perhaps Shakespeare and Dickens are rolling over in their graves at the thought of this change. Yet, ina few years, some of these works may join the ranks of the classics. 1.

Oldest of the Breitung twins is Claire, by two mi nutes. They don’t feel that because they are twins they are any closer than other sisters. The only problem for them is that since they are identical, they are often confused with each other, which ‘“‘gets to be a pain.” Joannie Jackson is older than Jeannie by five minutes. These girls feel that there is much “‘osychic togetherness’’ between them be- cause of incidents like this: Jeannie broke her arm one June, and one year and one hour later Joannie broke her shoulder. Sometimes the girls can even tell who’s going to get into trou- ble ‘‘by a very funny feeling in our stomachs.”’ Charlene Spellman is older than brother Charles by eight minutes.

Charlene feels that there is a kind of psychic bond between them because often one can tell what the other is feeling or thinking. The oldest of the Victorys is Dorise, by twenty nine minutes. Dorise and Denise think there is some psychic feeling between them, but they are otherwise no closer than other sisters. Their only problem with being twins is that some- times they are not treated as individuals. Peter Zagorin is older than sister Judy by two — minutes. They believe that they are closer than other brothers and sisters only because they are the same age, and are involved in many of the same activities with the same group of friends. Peter and Judy don’t like to be lumped together as “‘the twins’’ instead of being taken as two different people, but they still think that being twins is ‘something special.”’ 1.

No, it is Joe Classical, blood donor! Joe’s classmates and the faculty repeated this scene eighty-eight times as they turned out in full force for this school’s fourth annual fall Blood Bank. In order to participate in this Blood Bank, there were several requirements that each donor had to meet. Joe’s little sister, a junior, met nearly all these requirements. She weighed at least 110 pounds, she had never had mononucleosis, and on the day of the blood bank, she did not have a cold or take any medication. The qualification which made her ineligible to donate was that she had not turned seventeen by October 26. This age requirement kept her and most of the other juniors from donating, so most donors came from the senior class. The donations were taken by the American Red Cross who had set up cots in the gym for the program.

Red Cross rewarded each donor with a snack, which also served to help them rebuild their strength. Joe Classical and the other donors got involved in the program through the recruiting efforts of senior Betsy Sullivan, who was the Blood Bank’s student chairman, assisted by junior Sue Allen as co-chairman. This year marked Miss Barbara Weissbrod’s fourth year as teach- er in charge of the program. She was pleased with this fall’s turnout of eighty-eight donors, but she expected, as in past years, even larger attendance for the spring Blood Bank.

This enabled seniors with jobs to get to work earlier. Some seniors took advantage of ear- ly dismissal by using the city library to do research or just for general studying. Seniors with early dismissal had to leave the building immediately. Consequently McDon- alds got a lot more business. Seniors would go there to catch the bus and would pick up a bite to eat. Classical’s front steps were another popular place to hang around. However, Seniors had to remain in good standing to keep this privilege. The student could not have more than one failing grade, detention or suspension. Most of the seniors thought this policy was unfair and com- plained about the rules. None the less, it was - LORI STETSON 33 Kenwood Terr. 68 SENIORS LEAH STACHELEK GEORGE STEWART 16 Gordon St. Basketball, Madrigal, Band ALTHEA STAFFORD 35 Amherst St. a privilege that Classical students looked for- ward to in their senior year. 1.

The anticipation of graduating and going off to work or college was occupying their minds. But before graduation, there are still two high school activities that every- one looked forward to. The prom and the ban- quet. Although the prom and banquet was not until the end of the year, committees worked continually months before securing dates and entertainment arrangements. This year, as never before, dinner was served at the prom. Every couple bought one ticket that entitled them to the dance and the dinner. The banquet was held at the Chez Josef. This has become an undefined tradition at Classical. At the banquet there was a band or a disc-jockey, and the whole senior class was brought together. The will and prophecy and the results of the class ballot were read aloud. JEAN WHALEN 14 Highland St. Ski Club, Skating, Coffee House, Banquet Comm.

Year after year, stu- dents have won acclaim for their work both inside and outside the classroom. Many organi- zations throughout greater Springfield have presented their scholarships to deserving sen- iors who excell in areas ranging from American history to the sciences. Star athletes have re- ceived recognition in the city’s newspapers. The group efforts of the Recorder and Blue and White have been rewarded by a nation- wide scholastic press association, not to men- tion those creative people who have written winning compositions. An assembly at the end of each year provides Classical, itself, with the chance to shower its winners with rewards. At this time, various awards are given for academic achievement as well as for school and community activities. Most of these awards were donated by former teachers who wished to see their ideals carried on in the future; the receivers, representing ARCHIE WILLIAMS 174 Bowdoin St. LUKE WILLIAMS 8 Greenacre Square.

Classical students have always found a way to have a good time. When school gets to be a bother, students seek out forms of amusement. Whether it be a sick joke or an ingenious prank, Joe Classical and his friends have all engaged in such activities at one time or another. Humor, just as other social institutions, has changed during the seventies. In the early seventies, humor often revolved around political themes, such as Tricky Dick. Popular comedians of the time based much of their routines on making fun of American society, and especially, American government. The late seventies brought a general “‘mellowing out”’ of society. Americans began to forget about Nixon and the war, and to concentrate on making money. At this time, humor became more frivolous, avoiding social comment. The focus was on having a godd time and getting a laugh, no matter how cheap. Comedians such as Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd became popular. Students enjoyed watching “Saturday Night Live,’’ known for it’s crazy skits which ridiculed just about everything. Many Classical students ran around claiming to be ‘‘wild and crazy guys’’ who enjoyed ‘‘getting small’. Bad Steve Martin impressions became the vogue. The hit movie, ‘‘Animal House’’, about a wild fraternity in the early sixties, added to the whimsical nature of the times. The popularity of the movie brought on a rash of Yoga parties, where the dress consisted of semi-formal sheet. Food fights became quite popular after the movie, especially on Wednesdays in the small cafeteria. Classical students found a new hero in Blutarsky, the star slob of the movie. Menacing posters of Biuto with one eyebrow arched brought stiff competition to Farrah and Cheryl Tiegs. A new, humorous group invaded Classical during 1978-1979; Scorch’s Army. This spirited group of guys dressed in World War II garb brought new meaning to attending a football game. Their original chants got the fans stirred up and reminded rivals that ‘“‘we don’t mess around”’. Certain forms of amusement seem to go on no matter what year it is. Having huge rallies with original cheers is always considered good clean fun, especially if it’s against Cathedral. Wearing old trench coats and dark glasses to school remains amusing. And there are always old classics like making stink bombs, dressing up like the opposite sex, throwing paper airplanes at peers, pinning unusual notes on people’s bodies, and throwing snow at screaming foxes, to fall back on in times of need. What would high school be like without a little fun? Let’s face it, you need to have something to talk about at all those reunions. . . 1. It may not look great, but for thirty cents, who is Nick Speliopou- los to complain? 2. Anton Zamahaj does his John Denver impression in the halls of Classical. 3.

In the following years, as you look through your yearbook, you'll look at the pictures of all the fun you had and sigh. You'll raise your head from the book, look at your spouse, smile and say: ‘Gee, those were the days! Gosh! Life was so carefree then! All that fun and frolic!’’ Your spouse will take the book from your firm grasp, smile, and then drive you up to Northampton. 1. Barry Jones — father to be. 2. Randolph J.

AFRO-AM On The Move .- This year’s membership of the Afro- Am club was one of the biggest in history. Its popularity grew during the year because the club had many worthwhile activities. The first suc- cessful event of the year was the annual Halloween party for the chil- dren of the Winchester Square area. Many fund-raising activities were held in order to raise money for the Afro-Am Scholarship fund. This year the scholarship was between $250 and $300, whereas in past years, it was for only $100. In February, during Black History Week, members put on a presenta- tion at Duggan Jr. H.S. One of the speakers was Mrs. Norma Baker, di- rector of P.A.G.E. in Springfield. Under the leadership of Mr. Arthur Barnes, the club has progressed in many ways. He understands the students and relates to them very well. This year’s elected officers were president Yvette Kinshasha Underdue, vice-president Wendi Baker, treasurer Valerie Walters, and secretary Lorna Burke. For the first time in its history, a constitution was drawn up. Shasha hopes, ‘“‘that the members get a little more en- thused about the activities and for greater participation. As a whole, | really enjoyed being the president this year because | learned the ex- perience of leadership.”’ P ae | | 7 a ‘4 Se cece ee) ar The Beat Goes On As Tuesday evening approached, from the deep, dark recesses of Classical High School emanated the strains of jazz music. These sounds could be traced to B-17, an ordinary-looking room that lies just down the hall from the Small Cafeteria. Within the room, an elite group of musicians known as the Stage Band was in the midst of rehearsal. What is the Stage Band? The Stage Band is a group of student musicians carefully chosen each year through audition by John Christie. To become a member of the Stage Band, one must have considerable talent and discipline as well as the desire to put a ‘“‘little something extra’ into their perfor- mances. As well as the ‘‘something extra’ required of the musicians, the Stage Band was set apart by the classy image it projected. Mem- bers were attired in a basic black uniform accented by blue ruffled shirts and black bow ties, complet- ing their image as sophisticated professionals. Their image established, the 1979 Stage Band got down to their main purpose-playing good music. Among several other concerts, they performed at the annual Spring Concert in May. Classical’s 1979 Stage Band was once again a credit to its upstand- ing reputation as a group of con- siderable talent and incomparable style. Those who were lucky enough to witness a performance of the group enjoyed an exper- ience not soon to be forgotten. 1. ‘‘What’s the next note?’’ asks Linda Edwards. 2.

STAGE BAND 81 opirit Lifters Under the leadership of Captain Carol Richardson and Co-captain Kelly Watkins, the Varsity Cheer- leaders consist of ten, high-spirited girls. The squad is chosen in the spring, at tryouts, by a panel of judges, consisting of faculty members, graduating cheerleaders, and cheerleaders from American Inter- national College. The judges choose the girls after viewing their perfor- mances in a series of three cheers. Both squads promote spirit with their foot-stomping, hand clapping cheers. This spirit is greatly appreci- ated by our teams and student body. Once chosen the girls must devote after school sessions, homeroom periods, and four hours a week in the summer to practice. The squad cheers at football, soccer, basket- ball and hockey games. They also lead the school in cheers at sports rallies. Along with these duties the girls also participated in an invita- tional cheerleading competition at Agawam High School. The Junior Varsity Cheerleaders, captained by Rosemary Maida and Co-captained by Michelle Pagour- gis, is a squad of eight girls. This squad cheers for the J.V. football, basketball and soccer teams. Like the Varsity they devote a lot of time to practice that takes place during homerooms and after school. i ‘ x ah stk Sg go Wg Sabet vy F- 4 pr ee A SD ae ; : A ici eee Sees ae es ihn ON a a tow ML ew OT A EM a i OE Bg Oe ENO NR i 82 CHEERLEADERS 1.

DRILL TEAM Steppin’ Out Mrs. Kelly’s long time wish of hav- ing a drill team came true this year. She put an announcement in the newspaper to start her project in motion, and as a result, about twenty students showed up, eager to participate in the Drill Team. Each member of the team was re- sponsible for paying fifty-five dol- lars, themselves, for their uniforms. In order to provide for these funds, they put on a dance and a car wash. This year the group picked Darise and Denise Victory as their co- captains. Because of their prior ex- perience of being on a drill team, they were able to demonstrate some of their skills to the other members. Even though this was their first year together, they did an out- standing job and Classical stu- dents can count on seeing more of the same fine workmanship in the years to come. Check Mate! For a person who’s never been very athletically inclined (in other words, the type who is more apt to run into the net than to hit a ball over it), or just someone who would rather work his mind than work up a Sweat, the Chess Club provided the opportunity to com- pete with others who share these sentiments. By joining the Chess Club, one was given the chance to vie for one of the positions on a five-member team, and, at any time during the season, gain a position by beating a starting player. This person was then able to play in any upcoming matches, of which there were one a week. The record of Classical’s Chess Club for the past two years has been impressive. In ’77 and '78 they finished in the top four in the Western Mass. Playoffs, whose participants are the top teams from all different divisions in West- ern Mass. Practices for the Chess Club were held every Wednesday after school, under the supervision of Mr. Craig Dinnie. For those people who are tired of dropping the bowling ball on their feet, or who just love a good chal- lenge, the Chess Club might be a consideration for next year. The Chess Club should be around for awhile, because some good things just keep getting better. 1. Morris Rosenthal gets a new slant on the game. 2. Nat Hall patiently awaits his opponent’s move. 3.

CHESS CLUB 85 Say What? The Foreign Language Club, opened to all students, whether they took a language or not, consisted of approximately twenty interested students. The students met either Tuesday or Thursday with their advi- sor Mrs. M. Mazzi. The club also had three committees which kept the club running. The President Com- mittee consisted of Rosa Monte- fusco and Margarita Morales. Jeanne Lehouillier, Sherri Childs and Mary Montefusco, made up the Secretary Committee; while Charles Cleary and Angel Covington worked together in the Treasurer Commit- tee. Years back the language clubs con- sisted of students who took a par- ticular language. There were strictly Spanish Clubs, French Clubs, Ger- man Clubs, etc., whereas the For- eign Language Club, formed three years back opened itself to all inter- ested students. The involved club members raised money by bake sales, car washes, and or sold dif- ferent catalog items. Success had been reached because of coopera- tion from the club members. All fund raising and hard work was benefited when the Foreign Language Club sponsored the International Week- end in the spring. 1.

Many interesting pictures and symbols display the work of united friendship. 86 FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLUB Baton Bonanza Although the Classical majorettes perform as if they were born with batons in their hands, twirling a ba- ton really is not as easy as it looks. Each of these seven talented, de- voted, and high-spirited girls spent approximately ten hours every week brushing up on their routines and the basics of Baton twirling. They were always making up new rou- tines to go along with the new music from the band. Unlike past years, they had to contend this year with the problem of not being able to practice in the gym. The y performed at football games, boosting the morale of the players immensely. The highlights of the year were when they participated in the Columbus Day and St. Patrick’s Day parades. 1. Lori Moriarty proves that being a majorette is hard work. 2. Debbie Naglieri wishes she had a pair of Foster Grants. 3. Kersten Pelligrino has become quite attached to her baton. 4.

MATHLETES Math Whizzes Classical is one out of seventeen high schools that compete in math meets. Under the supervision of Mrs. Julia Bale, the mathletes meet every Thursday home room period to work out algebra, geometry and trigonometry problems. When one of the members was asked what he got out of it, his reply was, “‘sat- isfaction.”’ Every year Massachusetts Mutual Insurance Company hosts a dinner to the winning school, and Friend- ly’s and Valley Bank present twen- ty five dollar bonds to the three top scorers. Only The Best Unlike the many other clubs and organizations at Classical where a student may become a member simply by joining or trying out, membership in the William C. Hill chapter of the National Honor So- ciety can only be achieved by a high academic standing. Candi- dates for membership must attain a 3.75 grade point average by the end of their junior year or a 3.5 average by the end of the first marking period of their senior year. A student who has achieved the required grade average for the NHS is also reviewed in the areas of character, leadership and par- ticipation in school activities be- fore being admitted. Under the guidance of faculty advi- sor Mrs. Phyliss Thomas, the NHS served the school in several areas this year, including tutoring, and organization of the Alumni Tea. Members of the NHS are an exem- plary group, achieving the tradi- tionally high academic standards of Classical and providing leader- ship and assistance to members of the student body. 1.

CHRISTMAS DANCE Yuletide Fever Of all the activities that take place during the school year, none is looked forward to with as much an- ticipation as Classical’s annual Christmas Dance. This traditional dance is unique at Classical be- cause, unlike the many other school dances, this one provides the ladies with a chance to ask the gents to be their escorts. This Student Govern- ment sponsored dance is a semi- formal affair, held each year on De- cember 23rd. The occasion to dress up, the holiday season, and the chance to ask that special some- one, are a few reasons why this dance has reached high levels of popularity with Classical students. If a good look is taken, there are al- ways some Classical graduates re- turning to enjoy the fun and even some non-Classicalites whirling around on the dance floor. Fitting in with the current wave, Classical went ‘‘disco”’ this year by hiring Dave Lendry to provide us with his distronics instead of the tra- ditional live bands of the past. An- other first was the setting, as this year’s dance was held at the Shera- ton Inn in West Springfield, while in previous years it was held in smaller accomodations. Point Of Order One of the oldest organizations in Classical is the Senate. For the past 107 years, students have had the opportunity to voice their opinions and be heard. Anyone who has something to say, whether it be lo- cal of national, is encouraged to ob- serve and participate in the meet- ings. This year, the meetings were held in room 109 every Tuesday. Members used Robert’s Rules of Order as the guidelines during the parliamentary proceedings. New bills were written dealing with cur- rent issues and then were debated. This year’s model congress was held January 11-13, in which area schools participated. The members spent much time in preparation. Under the guidance of their new ad- viser, Mr. David Douglas, president Tom Ciantra, vice-president Car- mine lannaccone, and secretary Ali- cia Ralph, the members hope that more students will participate. 1. ‘Wake me up when he’s through talking,” asks Joe Deburro to Carmine lannaccone. 2. Luke Wil- liams has more things to say. 3. Tom Ciantra brings up a very good point. 4. ‘| wonder when | get to speak,’’ says Joy Guziec. 5.

Led by Miss Rozzi, this group consisted of nine stu- dents. Both advanced and beginner skat- ers could get help and encourage- ment from the arena resident skat- ing pro to learn new tactics. So get those skates on and we all expect to see you in the Ice Ca- pades some day! Head For The Mountains Mr. Pervonga, head of the seventy to seventy-five, rowdy, ski freaks, packs two-thirds of the club into a bus for a haul to the mountains and a Tuesday night thrill. The other one-third man- ages to make it to Mt. Tom and joins the crew for some fun. The club offers students the opportunity to ski at a cheaper price, and with a group of friends. To learn is no problem, for Ski School instructors will teach at a special rate, and a friend is always there for a helping hand. The trails and mountains are scat- tered with people out for a good time, leaving all their day’s work behind. When in line for the chair lift or T-bar, acquaintances are made, and a part- ner on the tow adds more excitement to the night of snow. The conditions have been fair to good, but at times the wind has driv- en many skiers off the slopes early. 1. Open your eyes now, Matt Koop. 2. Spotlight on talent! 3. No one’s perfect!

SKI CLUB 93 Time and the Classical Band both march on, but time does not have to labor under eighty degree tem- peratures as it marches down State St. in full uniform for a pa- rade. Neither does it have to try to play an instrument with chattering teeth and frostbitten fingers at a late November football game. These things were common occur- ences for the ’78-’79 marching band, not to mention little incon- veniences like a uniform in which the pants only reach the ankles and the sleeves nearly reach the knees. But, still, these things did not daunt the hearty spirits of the band members, who silently and deter- minedly trekked on despite the mi- nor and major mishaps they en- countered along the way. The band performed a half-time show at football games, marched to City Hall for the United Way Pa- rade and for an East Springfield baseball team that was second in the nation, as well as two larger parades — the Columbus Day and St. Patrick’s Day Parades. Not only a marching band, the band moved inside at the end of the football season for concert band. With the guidance of John Christie, the band planned perfor- mances at several concerts during the year, among them, the Spring Concert. The year ended with the annual band picnic, at which members of the band reflected on the accom- plishments, the laughs, and the special cameraderie that formed aver the year in B-17. ee I 1. “Onward, troops!”’ cries drum major, Gerry Over- street. 2.

It could only mean that one of Classical’s Choral groups was practicing. Whether it be the Girls’ Chorus, Boys’ Chorus, Homeroom Chorus, or Choir, the sounds of the members singing were always pleasing to the stu- dents as they walked by during re- hearsals. Any student who is inter- ested in one of these groups is en- couraged to join. The Choruses meet twice-a-week, unlike the four times a week meet- ing of the Choir. The Chorus is mostly made up of students in grades nine and ten and a few in grade eleven. Choir is for students in grades eleven and twelve, with a few exceptional tenth graders. The members study more music and train harder because it is a full credit course. They study the his- tory of music from early compos- ers and sing selections from hit broadway shows. Homeroom Chorus is designed for students who cannot fit a regular Chorus class in their schedule, so they meet every homeroom period instead. The four Choral groups sing independently except during the Christmas and Spring Con- certs when they combine to capti- vate an enthusiastic audience. Mr. Robbins, the instructor, be- lieves a student does not have to be able to sing exceptionally well to be a member of one of these groups.

They met every fifth period and re- hearsed to achieve the finest quality singing possible. They were in popu- lar demand around the greater Springfield area especially around Christmas time, when they per- formed at various shopping centers and schools. Aside from gaining personal pride, the Madrigal singers had other ad- vantages. The members learned about different aspects of choral music and being in the Madrigal may have also helped one to get into a good music school. The highlight of the year was the formal concert held at the Spring- field Art museum. Anyone doing a report on American History, or having to do some re- search for a favorite class, can find all of the information needed in our school library. The library aide s are all very well trained in helping one find the material needed for any type of project. Under the guidance of Miss Brown, the library aides are always ready and willing to help locate books or magazines, stamp passes, or help one in any way that they can. There are sixteen library aides in all, and all are a great help to Miss Brown. Their responsibilities not only lie in helping the students and faculty locate material, but they help in the filing of the card cata- logue, occasional typing of cards for new books, and returning books to the shelves once they have been re- turned to the library. : 7 y i 1.

A poor frozen soul was walking up State St. when he noticed signs of human life making their way into the hulk of a building known as ‘Classical High School. He followed a group of people inside where his ears were being treated to some finely played music. What the for- tunate soul had come upon was Classical’s 1978-’79 Orchestra performing at the annual Christ- mas Concert. Classical’s Orchestra provided many such frozen souls with some excellent music at this year’s Christmas Concert, and also dis- played their musical talents at this year’s Spring Concert. The or- chestra could not have accom- plished this without practice, how- ever. The string section of the or- chestra practiced sixth period, and the wind and percussion instru- ments were added during home- room period rehearsals. This ad- mittedly did not give the orchestra a great deal of practice time, but, as usual, this was not evident in their quality performances. The hard-working, talented musi- cians that composed this year’s orchestra were conducted by Mr. John Christie, and once again, Classical’s Orchestra provided a shining example of musical excel- lence. 1. Mr. Christie conducts Debbie Kerr, Lorelei Strobe, Cathy Rovelli, and Dana Oltchick during a sixth period rehearsal. 2. Charlene Spellman lends pianist George Stewart a hand with his music during the Christmas Concert. 3. Dana Oltchick knows her hard work will be rewarded when she hears the sound of applause. 4.

SCRIBE Literary Talent Classical’s literary magazine, Scribe, was a great success again this year. Due to all the poems, sto- ries, photographs, and artwork sub- mitted to Mrs. Bogan’s fourth period creative writing class, Scribe was one of the biggest issues ever pub- lished at Classical. The twelfth grade staff worked very hard choosing the selections to be put in the magazine, going to Eng- lish classes to talk about the maga- zine and raising money for the publi- cation. This proved true in the great success of the magazine. One of the greatest contributions to the magazine was the successful se- cret admirer carnation sales. These sales were a great opportunity to send a carnation to a secret love. The carnations were delivered to the students by the Scribe staff. At Wit’s End According to the old adage, ‘‘prac- tice makes perfect,’’ but the 1978 “As Schools Match Wits’”’ team in- variably lacked the practice needed to overcome Agawam High School in their first match this year. Al- though the Classical team, com- posed of Michael Murray, Kathy Quirk, Steve Montebello, and Joe Deburro, made a valiant effort, they narrowly lost by a score of 160 to 180. The teams were closely matched, with Agawam winning by only one category. Gerald O’Con- nor, Michael Miller, and Tom O’Con- nor served as alternates. To get on the ‘‘As Schools Match Wits” team, it was necessary to take a test devised by last year’s members. Once the members and alternates had been chosen, prac- tice sessions began, usually held before school or during homeroom, with Mr. Sullivan advising. This year’s team had only two weeks to prepare for their first match, and the limited preparation time had an ad- verse affect on their performance. 1. Steve Montebello and Joe Deburro give a lot of thought to a question before answering. 2. The 1978-79 “As Schools Match Wits” team: Michael Murray, Steve Montebello, Joe Deburro, and Kathy Quirk, 3.

AS SCHOOLS MATCH WITS 103 Students’ Voice This year’s Student Government, under the knowledgeable guid- ance of Miss Barbara Weissbrod and President Luke Williams, did a fine job in making decisions con- cerning several school activities and policies. This body of elected class officers met weekly during Tuesday D peri- od. There they discussed plans for upcoming events, the problems of Classical and their effects on the student body. Standing out on the list of this year’s Student Governmet spon- sored events was a successful S.T. drive with a prize of one hundred dollars placed in the junior class treasury, for having the greatest percentage of S.T. purchasers. Another highlight was a question and answer period with Superin- tendent of the Springfield Public Schools, Dr. John Deady, on the condition of Classical and what steps would be taken to correct it. Also, a successful disco dance was held in November at the Ston- ehaven Inn, with plans for another to follow. 1. President Luke williams ponders a difficult ques- tion. 2. Miss Weissbrod debates the pros and cons of a proposition. 3. ‘‘You’ve got my vote’ says Bet- sy Sullivan. 4. The gavel at rest. 5. Jim Quirk tries to convince Ellen Foley to see things his way. 104. STUDENT GOVERNMENT At Your Service When talking to Liz Marsh, a stu- dent from the previous year’s Art Service Home Room, Liz stated, “The Art Service isn’t as produc- tive as last year.’’ Previously there were less people and all worked together as a family. Last year they had raised $200 and this year no money has been raised. The new people this year had a different attitude toward their work. The Home Room is now un- der the supervision of Miss Tre- mentozzi with a class of approxi- mately twenty people. Working with others in an easy-going, re- laxed tone, seems to produce a good time. Music seems to help the busy workers keep at work whenever projects arise. The stu- dents’ main purpose is to learn how and then create posters and designs for different groups and clubs. 1. “Art Service? That’s us!’’ 2. Tod Kel- leher gets down to some Serious art work. 3. A poster for Scribe keeps Cindy Bellas busy. 4. Liz and Mel work together on a special project for our school. 5. Maria asks for a helping hand. ART SERVICE 105 106 ° 1.

Tony Novak displays the process for lamentating the S.T. cards. A.V.A. The Reel Thing Who are those people who go run- ning around Classical with projec- tors, film strips, and many other electrical devises? They are the Audio-Visual aides, often Known as the A.V.A. Their job is to interrupt classes in order to set up films, that no ordinary student is able to do. Under the leadership of Mr. Allan Peck, the A.V.A. homeroom sees to it that all classes in need of a projec- tor or cassette recorder have them. During homeroom periods, mem- bers distribute such supplies as pro- jectors, record players, cassette re- corders, and extension cords. When a projector does not work, an A.V.A. member solves the problem. A.V.A. is in charge of the production of S.T. Because of the dedicated work, S.T. helps the students and other Classical organizations. So, if one sees an unfamiliar face walking around the halls of Classical with a projector in his or her hand, then he can be sure that this person is a member of the A.V.A. The Blue and White Business Staff is largely responsible for the suc- cess of the Blue and White year after year. During September, October, and November, staff members go down- town during homeroom and study periods to obtain ads which help to pay for the yearbook. This is not an easy task, but the Blue and White agents always manage to come through. This year they came close to getting two thousand dollars in advertisements. Any member who collects over one hundred and fifty dollars worth of ads is entitled to a free yearbook. ee : s oS ee ©) eee 1.

Many enjoy this morning pick-up and won’t go a morning without it. Usually about four seniors set themselves behind a table of cof- fee, tea, hot chocolate, and a cou- ple trays of donuts, to take care of the sun-shiny crowd. Students can then sit in the large or small cafete- ria with a couple friends before school begins. When winter is upon us, the crowd enlarges because of the nature lover, who stand outside in the icy wind, and need, | mean need, a nice warm cup of something to cling to. The warmth is just enough to charge the system; only to have to button the jacket back up and cross State St. to the Annex. “SHereeencenamcnnal” cot Oe ee 1. ‘Mmm, Mmm, real homemade coffee!’’ ‘“‘Do you really believe that?’’ 2.

The Drama Club consists of approxi- mately twenty-five members in_ its home room, and also opens its door for thirty to forty people interested in play performances. Home room is used for rehearsals, building of props, and ad- vertisement of plays to come. Much is accomplished from the hard work that goes into this club, with never a time for boredom. “Traps and Entanglements’’ proved a success, and the club has a comedy, “The Doctor In Spite of Itself’, to be performed soon. ‘‘Traps and Entangle- ments’? was a performance of four, one-act plays, and one will be in com- petition for the Massachusetts Drama Guild. Miss Keenan is the advisor and home room teacher for the Drama Club. Mi- chael Miller, President, holds top seat of this crew, as Randolph Garbin, Vice President, sits close by.

DRAMA CLUB_ 109 110 RECORDER Bulldog Bylines The staff of Classical’s award win- ning newspaper, The Recorder, un- der the direction of Mr. Henry Brady, is a valuable asset. In The Recorder, students read about school, local, and national events, editorials on the problems and needs of Classical, Springfield, and our nation. Details of the latest athletic victories and defeats, movie and television reviews and other in- teresting articles appeared in the is- sues of this year’s newspaper. The staff met period six in room A-7 throughout the school year. During this time the staff worked on format, including articles, editorials, photog- raphy, art work and layouts. Many after school sessions were spent at the printers, working on set-up. Members of The Recorder staff should be commended for their ef- forts and the result: quality journal- ism in a fine newspaper that keeps students informed and interested. 1.

Well, this year the Girls’ and Boys’ Patrol have combined forces to form what is now called “Student Patrol’. This sudden change came about because the State Department of Education in- sisted that the Patrol had to be co- ed. The duties of this select group of trustworthy students were to pa- trol the halls and keep intruders out of the school, help in the office, run errands for teachers, and guard the girlsroom. Aside from that, they decorated and ushered at graduation ceremonies and the prom. They were also in charge of the “Toy For Joy’’ fund drive. It was plain to see that many peo- ple benefited from this organiza- tion, but what many people did not know was that one must be ap- proved by his teachers and the principal prior to becoming a member of Student Patrol. 1. Patrol member Darryl Byers escorts Joannie Jackson to her class. 2. Nick Speliopoulos crams for an exam while guarding his post. 3. Colleen Curley puts her John Hancock on Regina De Gennero’s pass. 4. A ‘‘not so easy”’ task for the patrol is to keep things in control at assemblies. 5. Chris Landry and Bonnie Germain make sure no foul play takes place near the girls room. 6. David Starzyk prepares to ‘‘munch out'’ while guarding the assembly hall. 7. Brian Thomas looks as if he’s put in a hard days work. 113 ACTIVITIES 114 BLUE AND WHITE EDITORIAL State Of Dementia - Worm ... Bruce ... coffee ... Prove it ... Blutarsky ... Sen- ior section ...

A Haunted House of course! That’s what happened last October when seven area high schools decorated an old home with props ranging from bloody bodies to gloomy grave- yards. The house at 60 School Street opened its musty doors to the public on October 20th. Throngs of rowdy high school kids waited in line for their chance to view the dwelling. WAQY-102 soothed the masses with music from its mobile studio, but in the process, lost one of their D.J.’s who had allegedly been kidnapped in the house, and then brought away to some unknown locality for two days. As the groups entered the house, doors creaked open reveal- ing loud, unearthly sounds, while ghostlike figures flew through the rooms in pink and green gowns. As the frightened viewers were led through the galleries by two hooded beings, their only means of security consisted of a small ten foot rope. After a right, a left, and a walk through a graveyard, the group found themselves in Classical’s “‘Dr. Some Bodies Back Room’’ A doctor performing an operation on a patient, and a monster running around the room (perhaps upset over the way his facelift came out), greeted those who entered the doctor's room. The design of this room developed under the able hands of a committee selected from the drama club homeroom. The committee, Michael Miller, Liz Merchant, and Ted Fleming, dreamed up the wonderfully gruesome ideas of using such materials as a large paper mache hand, biology specimens in formaldihyde, and dismembered mannequin parts ‘‘provided by members with connections’. All of this planning resulted in about six weeks of actual work whenever members of the homeroom had free time. Because all of the drama students played a part in acting in or constructing the house, it was necessary to go to the house after school, on weekends, or any free study periods. Classical’s closeness to the house made it convenient for the students to work. The students’ work proved to be fun and worthwhile. While they entertained children of all ages, they also raised money for the Wesson Women’s Hospital infant intensive care unit and the Pioneer Valley chapter of the March of Dimes genetic counseling center. 1.

Does this sound like the average haunted house scene? Not quite- it’s Classical on Halloween! Kids were dressed up in the most outrageous and peculiar costumes imaginable! Not only were there witches, goblins and the usual ‘“‘trick or treating’’ drag, but also something new. National Lampoon’s Animal House, the huge hit of 1978-1979, left an indelible mark on young America, Classical included. One Classicalite came wearing his bedsheet wrapped a couple of times around his throat, a laurel crowning his head and hailed ‘Toga’ to passers-by. Some other whimsical outfits consisted of very large ears, long underwear under trunks topped off by a casual sports coats, tie and cap. Dressing up is nice, but what would Halloween be without tricks? This year a major library he ist was planned. Word of the event got around, causing great anticipation among students who longed for some excitement to break the monotony of school routine. Two masked hoodlums ran into the library, only a few knew who they really were. Loaded cap guns in hand, the robbers held up the library and made a quick getaway — never to be seen or heard of again. What will happen next Halloween? Only time will tell. al is och 1. A man in toga makes Sandy Walburt fall at his feet. 2.

They must not only continue to take tests and write compositions, but the Juniors are also required to write a thesis pa- per. This means that the student has to spend his free periods at the library taking notes, reading maga- zines and constantly revising and rewriting his term paper. The year also sets the opening pace for the students to explore and plan their options about col- lege. During the course of the year, the Juniors are able to take several college examinations, PSAT and SAT’s, which serve as a factor for their college acceptance. More- over, they are allowed to attend college conferences. This provides the Junior with an ‘opportunity to examine his own ideas and it serves aS one more step up the ladder of success. Therefore, the Junior is faced with many problems. If one should write a book about the students final years at Classical High, It might be titled ‘‘How to Survive Your Junior Year in High School.”’ 1.

We're The One As the school year, 1979, drew to a close, the present seniors marked the end of their high school educa- tion. However, the end of ’79 repre- sented a beginning for the Juniors, for in 1980, they would be the first class to graduate in the new dec- ade. The Juniors were also first in several © other ways. They were the first class to have a gong show, pom pom sale and hayride. Most of all, they were the leaders in spirit. Because of their enormous vitality, they came in first place in the ST drive and earned one hundred dollars which was of- fered by ST to the first place team. Thus, the Juniors were confident that their class would be the best in the new decade. 1.

One can see without having to look too hard, on desks and on walls all sorts of grafetti, ranging from “Class of 1898”’ all the way to scrip- ture. The grafetti reminds us of days past, some good, some bad. Many things have changed in Classical through the years. The physical look and the rules have changed very much since Classical’s first graduating class, but Classical’s tradition still goes on. 1.

Don’t Walk, Run Whether you consider it a hop, skip, or a jump, it is a real priviledge for the sophomore class to participate in the 50 yard dash requirement of the physical fitness test. One of the most glorious monents is when the announcement is made that the 50 yard dash will be run today. If one listens ands closely ob- serves, one discovers the wind really isn’t howling outside; the leaves on the trees are motionless. It can’t be that these happy, healthy, sopho- mores are moaning. After a few min- utes of shock, one can definitly dis- tinguish words, phrases, and even complete sentences that all add up to, ““Why do we have to do this.”’ “Oh, | think I’m sick, | can’t do this today.” The teachers voice is heard above the sounds, “‘Everybody outside.”’ Well, here they go, paired off and running. Things are going smoothly. A rather common explitive flows through the air as someone has no- ticed that most of Classical High is watching. 1. A sophomore hard at work at Classical High School.

A fresh- man on the first day of school, of course! What freshman doesn’t remember his first day at Classical, his intro- duction to the big time? However, this momentous day is often nerve- wracking, taking its toll on the cour- age of its ninth-grade victims. The average freshman’s first day mixes apprehension and confusion with anticipation of Classical life. The lucky freshman is assigned to the correct homeroom on the first try. Once there safely, a series of forms and schedules is forced upon the defenseless freshman, often confusing him, although that is not the sole purpose of the paperwork. When he is just adjusting to home- room, the unsuspecting freshman is sent mercilessly into the bustling halls of Classical to find his class, with a wave and best wishes from his homeroom teacher. Often fresh- men find old friends and make the journey a joint venture, but even with this added moral support, the first trip through Classical corridors can be very intimidating. However, these freshmen are an ex- ceptional bunch. They have not only survived that initial traumatic day, but now have thoroughly charted and unraveled Classical’s mysteries. Watch out, Classical, the freshmen are coming! UNDERCLASSMEN 141 Endearing Endeavors Dedication — yes, dedication is needed to survive at Classical. Throughout the year, so many tests of a student’s endurance are conducted that it is a wonder that any students come through alive. For instance, just settling in at the beginning of the year at Classical and returning to the old grind is too much for some students, and those with less self-discipline flee at the first sign of work. But those who do stick through the difficult opening months are rewarded with a veritable flood of homework. This too takes its toll on the stam- ina of the students, yet the major- ity survive through this and contin- ue on to meet the challenge of The Midterm. Here is where many stu- dents simply throw in the towel, succumbing to other demands, such as their health. But those who remain undaunted face months of endless homework assignments and awe-inspiring exams. The crowning struggle, however, and the most difficult goal to achieve, is The Final,which kills student en- thusiasm more effectively than any other known factor. While few students are forced to seek such exotic studying areas as depicted in the photographs, most students will agree about the diffi- culty of squeezing in the necessary studying time. Yes, any student who staggers out of Classical at the close of the school year, and has been successful in achieving Classical’s expectations, is a true example of dedication. 142 UNDERCLASSMEN as pie! | ROOM 119: Front Row — Molly Gallimore, Theresa Camerlin, Cynthia Hamlin, Barbara Park, Sylvie Couture, Carol Sanders.

In any one of the spe- cial homerooms around the school! Each of these homerooms benefited the school in some way. How would the students have survived without the AVA and its ready, willing, and able members who took ST pictures and set up film projectors? Contrib- uting its share to the school, the Student Patrol vigilantly maintained order in the halls and aided in the Office. And who didn’t look forward to the monthly publication of Re- corder? The Blue + White, which would have been helpless without the support of the Blue + White Business, recorded for posterity the year’s events. The Art Service lend- ed a hand to help beautify the school. To contribute to the fine arts of the school, the Drama homeroom was formed.

However, their motives for joining a special homeroom could be consid- ered rather selfish, for being a mem- ber very often was a lot of fun. No matter which homeroom one joined, though, one insured a fun, produc- tive year for oneself and the school. 144 UNDERCLASSMEN ROOM A-7: Front Row — Jody Ginsberg, Loren Hutner, Jeff Jaramillo, Gerald O’Connor.

UNDERCLASSMEN B + W 145 SPORTS yer ley Y SASABARS YS Jl DADA NA “ J yi [—————S CY ea Rea = Op y = TY eh A SEASON OF SURPRISES What happens to a baseball team that enters the season confident in its pitching and infield defense and worried about its batting and outfield defense? The out- come is inevitable. Its hitting and outfield defense perform solidly and its pitching and infield defense do not perform up to expectations. The 1978 Classical Base- ball Team experienced such a reversed situation. The Bulldogs hit exceptionally well throughout the season, turning out a team batting average of over .300. Bob Shay led the Bulldogs’ offensive attack, slugging away to a .414 average. The team also had outstanding outfield de- fense with exceptional play from right- fielder Ed Keating and centerfielder Paul Mantoni. Keating and Mantoni also pro- vided powerful hitting, batting .392 and .346 respectively. In addition to these strengths, the Bulldogs had remarkable speed, compiling 48 stolen bases, and excellent catching in the likes of All-West- ern Mass. pick, Bob Shay. He gunned down twenty-five of twenty-eight attempt- ed base stealers. These aspects of the team’s play paced Classical to a record of eleven wins nine losses and put them in the playoffs for the first time since 1970. However, Coach Li- garski had expected an even better re- cord, commenting, ‘“‘We didn’t achieve the goals that we thought we’d reach, because our pitching and infield defense were inconsistent.’’ The team lost two disappointing games to each of its city rivals, Tech and Cathedral, due to infield errors and weak pitching. Although these aspects of the team’s play were inconsis- tent, when they came through, the team won big. Such was the case in a game against Commerce in which the Bulldogs pulled together to win a decisive 17-0 vic- tory. 1. Barry Jones circles the bas es after slugging one out of the ball park. 2.

FALCONS IN PLAYOFFS For the first time since 1970, the Classical Baseball Team’s season performance earned it the right to compete in the Western Mass. tournament. The Bulldogs met the Minnechaug Falcons in a playoff duel which, according to Coach Ligarski, was decided in the fifth inning. Classical opened the first inning with a powerful triple by Ed Keating which drove home one Bulldog run. The Falcons sought revenge in the second, and crossed the plate twice for a one-run ad- vantage. The Blue and White rallied in the fourth inning on a three-run homer by clutch-hitter John Shay. Entering the fifth inning with a 4-2 lead, Classical ran into trouble in the form of errors. With two on and two out for Min- nechaug, a throwing error on a ground ball led to three unearned Falcon runs and a 5-4 advantage. “‘That was the key to the game,’’ commented Coach Li- garski. For the next four innings, Classical played catch-up baseball. Despite the best ef- fo rts of the Bulldogs, the final score read: Minnechaug 9, Classical 6. 1.

SPORTS 149 150 SPORTS New and different things happened last year on the girls’ softball team, some good and some bad. Early season injuries got the team off to a bad start by weaken- ing the bench. Coach Linda Rozzi said that it was the first time in her history of coaching the girls, that the team had a losing record. The girls ended the season with a record of 6-11. According to Coach Rozzi, there were no outstanding players on the team; it was a group effort with encouragement for each other. Despite a losing record, the team had its good points. Determination and team work, when good, helped the team win. “THERE'S ALWAYS A FIRST” As any sports team, the girls had their bad points. Coach Rozzi said that their attitude was good when winning but when behind the girls tended to give up. A junior varsity team was attempted, and was very successful. Many of the girls on the junior varsity team eventually played varsity. When commenting on the overall team and season, Coach Rozzi said, “A losing season may not build morale, but it builds character. One must be able to accept losing and still enjoy participation as a member of a team.”’ 1. Denise Smith stretches for the throw. 2. Kathy Keough starts her pitch. 3.

Experience and numbers were the miss- ing ingredients for the winning Classical Golf team. The squad of eight was one of the few in Western Mass. with no J.V. This hurt the team when all the players could not perform at certain matches. Exper- ience was also missing since six of the eight golfers were underclassmen. De- spite these obstacles the team mananed a record of 9-7. The team was not without its own stan- douts. Dave Hinman and Eric Keroack, both fine golfers, qualified for the Western Mass Tournament. Though they only last- ed through the first round, they set an example of excellence for the younger members of the squad, for they did quali- fy. Needed practice time was also a THEY GAVE IT THEIR BEST SHOT handicap. ‘‘Two days a week was just not enough.” stated coach Alex Schmid. Coach Schmid, however, did show some optimism for future years when he men- tioned the performances of underclass- men Gene Holden and Dave Boshko. “They both have great potential.’’ Although golf does not attract record breaking crowds, coach Schmid said “The team showed great support towards One another, enough to make up for the lack of crowds.”’ Even with these problems the Classical putters were still a winning team, with alot of potential for future years.

F Me eve a] 9 SELF-DETERMINATION When the ’78 Girls’ Track Team turned in its uniforms, the season record read: 4 wins, 8 losses. To just anyone, those two numbers may spell out a losing season, but to a member of the Girls’ Track Team, 4 and 8 told only half the story. What the numbers don’t say is how hard each girl had to work to improve under the hardly favorable training circum- stances. For daily workouts, the girls commuted to Blunt Park where they shared available space with the boys’ track team as well as the girls’ and boys’ track teams of Cathedral, Tech and Com- merce. Under these conditions, the im- provement of an athlete depended great- ly on her self-determination and aggres- siveness. The girls’ response to this chal- lenge was well expressed in the following words of Coach Ruby Kelly: “The girls 152 SPORTS worked hard despite the facilities. A lot of girls put in extra time, and it showed!” At the end of the season, the team’s hard work unquestionably showed as the team earned enough points in the Western Mass. Championships to place eighth out of 28 teams. Outstanding performances came from Carol Sanders who streaked to a first place in the 220 yard dash and leaped to a third place in the long jump; Mollie Gallimore who notched a third place in the shot put and Denise Victory who finished sixth in the high jump. The Classical Girls’ Track Team has shown much improvement in only its sec- ond season of competition, and Coach Kelly was optimistic about the team’s fu- ture. 1.

SPORTS 153 154 “A SEASON NOT TO BE FORGOTTEN” ‘It was a season that won't be forgotten for a long time.’’, explained one Bulldog trackster. Behind third year coach Dan McLaughlin and assistant coaches Tom Daignais, Louis Malvezzi and Paul Reiker, the Classical Track Team defeated Ca- thedral in a dual meet for the first time in its history, won the City Track Champion- ship also for the first time, won the West- ern Mass. Track Championships for the first time and breezed to an unprecedent- ed 10-0 record. Never before has Classical had a track team with so many great atheletes. This fact was proven in the City Track Cham- pionships when the Bulldogs placed in the top 3 spots in 13 of the 17 events, win- ning 10 of them. Equally impressive was that the tracksters took 2 of the top 3 spots im 6 events. With Adam Rakus tak- ing the javelin honors, Dan Driscoll in the pole-vault and 880 yard run, Jeff Jordan winning the discus title, Royce Bouknight taking the triple jump honors, Jeff John- son winning the 110 high hurdles Kevin Johnson capturing the 100 yard dash crown, Ray Hunter winning the 440 yard run, the team of Kevin Goggins, Kevin Johnson, Chris Montagana and Tony Westbrook taking the 440 yard relay crown and the team of David Byrd, Dan Driscoll, Ray Hunter and Jim Mckenna earning themselves the mile relay title, the track team defeated its closest competi- tor, Cathedral, which held the city cham- pionship for the last 18 years, by a score of 110-84. The Classical Tracksters also came out on top in their head-to-head . meet with Cathedral beating them by | pt. The season of all seasons did not end there, Dan ‘‘The Man’’ led the Bulldogs to the University of Massachusetts to take on all comers from Division I, in the West- ern Mass. Track Championships. The Bulldogs took them all on and came out on top by scoring 5 first places finishes. The champions were Dan Driscoll in the 880 yard run, Kevin Johnson in the 100 yard dash, Jeff Jordan in the discus, Eur- ice Moody in the triple jump, and Adam Rakus in the javelin. Also doing well by finishing second were Jeff Johnson in the 110 high hurdles and the mile relay team consisting of David Byrd, Dan Driscoll, Raymond Hunter and Jim Mckenna. Royce Bouknight and Jim Mckenna did well finishing only to teammates in the triple jump and the 880 yard run. Adding icing to the cake was Adam Ra- kus whose golden arm guided a javelin to a second place in the coveted New Eng- land Track Championships. With 3 Western Mass. Champions in Ke- vin Johnson, Jeff Jordan and Adam Ra- kus and a host of other major contributors to the ’78 season such as Kevin Grube, Raymond Hunter, Chris Montagana, Mike Rooney, Tony Westbrook, and Bruce White all of whom are returning, the ’79 season can look nothing less than an- other winner. 1.

However, enthusiasm for a separate team was lacking until last year, when for the first time in Classical’s histo- ry, the girls organized a team. Effort and determination helped the team have a successful season. Practices be- gan as early as late March and the girls, willingly, gave their time in extra practices and repeated drills. Also, they often dem- onstrated their ability to adjust to such things as bad weather and unprepared home courts. Despite inexperience, the 1. Amy Kunhardt reaches for a difficult shot. 2.

A GOAL NOT YET REACHED Despite hard work and team spirit the Classical boys’ tennis team failed to reach its goal. Coach Miles Tipton had expected to reach a record of 14 wins and 4 losses or better, but the team could only reach a disappointing record of 12 wins and 6 losses. Mr. Tipton briefly ex- plained that the reason the team did not reach its goal was mainly due to ‘“‘incon- sistent double play,”’ and if it weren’t for some minor details or accidents, his dream might have been fulfill ed and the team might have made it to the top. Nevertheless, the team displayed some very good points. Along with its strong single players, it showed a lot of enthusi- asm and determination in winning its matches. As Mr. Tipton pointed out, some of the matches were closer than the score indicated, and with the superb serv- ing of Ted Fleming, one of the top 8 West- ern Mass. single players, and the exper- ienced playing of Andy Cohen and Jay Barbieri, both Western Mass. finalists, the team was able to give its opponents great competition. Though the team did not reach its goal this year, the coach has high hopes for next year. Andy Cohen and Jay Barbieri will be missed by the team, but it still has the strong singles plays of Ted Fleming and the greater experience of Conan Deady and Jim Quirk to aid the team in reaching its goal. 1. 1978 Tennis Team, left to right: Michael Murray, Ted Fleming, coach Miles Tipton, Tom Flanagan, Joe Bernard, Wayne Cohen, Chris Grossetti, Ray Domaigne, Conan Deady, Alan Burnham, Jay Bar- bieri, Andy Cohn, George Psilakis. 2.

SPORTS 157 158 ALMOST After a dismal 5-13-1 record over the last two years, some of the Classical football players were ready to call it quits. But rallying the troops together was new head coach Dan McLaughlin who once again | worked his winning magic with a Classical team, leading the gridders to an 8-1 re- cord. Starting from scratch, together with assistants Al Lapan, Paul Shmutz, and Joe Kominski, the Classical players were taught the basic fundamentals which the coaching staff felt previous teams lacked. With the coaches and captains — Kevin Johnson, Jeff Jordan, and Bob McQuade, the team had leadership and unity which had been missing in the past. Speaking on Mr. McLaughlin’s leader- ship, Carl Waller said, ‘‘He had me believ- ing that there was no way we could lose.” All of the team felt that way as the Bull- dogs shot off to an unbelievable 8-0 re- cord. Leading the way were halfback Kevin Johnson, who was a 1000 yard rusher , and was Offensive Player of the Week five times. Jeff Jordan, whose consistently outstanding play at nose-guard earned him Defensive Player of the Week honors twice and Bob McQuade whose fierce de- fensive end play and Carl Waller whose � linebacker play, earned themselves De- fensive Player of the Week once apiece. Also outstanding for the Bulldog cause were: Chris Donahue whose consistant line play both offensively and defensively gave him respect all around the league, Tom Johnson at quarterback whose passing and leadership was outstanding and Adam Rakus who was “‘Mr. Every- 1. Adam Rakus does a juggling act with a high pass. 2.

The two surprise finds of the year were Russ Ursprung and Carl Waller at defensive back and line- backer respectively. Ursprung was used against opposing teams’ best receiver and most of the time came out on top. Waller was called the best linebacker in the league by coach McLaughlin. Those people and a cast of others scratched and clawed their way to an 8-1 season. They were undefeated with eight going into a title game against Minnechaug, where they were set back by a heart- breaking 38-8 score. Despite a final game loss the season was fantastic from start to end. Two points in the season were when Northampton and East Longmeadow went down to defeat at the hands of Clas- sical. The fact that both teams were un- defeated before facing the Bulldogs made the victories all the more sweet. Led by Kevin Johnson, who rushed for 225 yards, Jeff Jordan and Russ Ursprung, the grid gridders rolled to a 45-8 victory. Classi- . cal, led by Tom Johnson, Bob McQuade, Carl Waller, who was the key to holding East Longmeadow to one touchdown, and Adam Rakus, who scored all Classi- cal’s points with a touchdown reception and a field goal, narrowly won 10-7. For once the Classical student body was proud to attend a Classical football game. It was a feeling not experienc ed for a long time.

One of the football team’s biggest assests was its offensive backfield. With break-away- threat Kevin Johnson, tough Bob McQuade, glue-fingers Adam Rakus at flex-back, and the ‘“‘Surburban Snake”’ Tom Johnson at quarterback, the Bull- dogs had one of the most potent ground and air attacks in the league. Of course, without the offensive line doing the blocking in the line, the backs wouldn't fiave been so potent. In combi- nation with Jeff Jordan at center, Carl Waller and Gordon White at guard, Pat Shea and Chris Donahue at tackle, and Vincent Johnson and Kevin Grube at the ends, the runners were able to run through holes made by the line that were large enough to drive cars through. 1.

The decisive factor in many games was the play of the defensive line which was anchored around Jeff Jordan in the middle at nose-guard, Chris Dona- hue and Dave Siano at tackle, Bob McQuade and Gordon White at the ends. The linebacking crew, consisting of Carl Waller and Adam Rakus in the middle, played well as go-between the line and the secondary. The consistent improvement of the young defensive secondary consisting of Vin- cent Johnson, Bob Granger, Tom John- son and Russ Ursprung, helped the Bull- dog cause in the tough games down the stretch.

Yet, because of youth and lack of depth, the team was only able to manage a 6-5 record. This year served primarily as a preview of next year’s potential. Most of the team will return next year, bringing back many of the top runners. Don Rickson, a first- year runner, was the only team member to qualify for the state competition. Mike Rooney, captain of the team, was top runner most of the year. Pat Rooney, a sophomore, showed potential to develop as a great runner. The team, itself, was determined, self-dis- ciplined, and young. Determination showed in their willingness to practice, as attendance was consistent. Self-disci- pline was exhibited as the team practiced with or without a coach. Their youth gives the team the chance to develop talents. However, youth and lack of depth kept the team down. Because of undiscovered talents, the team lacked runners to put in each category. Opposing teams usually had experienced runners, giving the Clas- sical guys a disadvantage. Coach Paul Rieker commented, ‘The team lacked depth and were inexperi- enced, but with their talent and this year’s experience, | expect us to be a threat next y ear.”’ 4.

These four words say it all for the team this year. The first long step the girls took was on the basis of good past performances. The team was boosted from “‘C’’ division to “B’”’ division. This step up in the swimming world meant stiffer competition for the girls. Despite this jump the girls still man- aged to win six of their fifteen meets. One big triumph this year came in the form of Senior Captain Maria McClellan. She was voted most valuable swimmer in West- ern Mass., an honor only given to the swim- mer who shows outstanding achievement athletically and academically. She also showed great leadership on the team. Coach Miles Tipton said, “‘Maria was the backbone of the team in strength and in spirit.’’ There was also the surprising ap- “A STEP UP” pearance of many new swimmers who turned out to be very talented. Leading the catagory was sophomore Karna_Lind- strum. In her first year of high school swim- ming she placed fifth in Western Mass. in her specialty, the hundred yard Butterfly. She also placed in the individual medley event. Sharon Mitchell and Anne Prat were also swimmers who showed great improve- ment over the season. Let’s not forget the veterans; Leslie Barlow showed great ability in the breaststroke, Martha Mitchell showed her strength in the Backstroke. Rounding out the field were diver Lori Misisco and Freestyler Lisa Falvo. Lisa was also Co-Captain and team spirit leader. Though they fell short of their goal of eight wins, they did make a good showing. It was a season to be proud of. 1. Polly Day prepares to dive. 2. With an edge Maria McClellan dives in. 3.

Championship. ‘“‘They had a lot going for them,’’ said coach Strat- ton. “‘The team had tenacity, unselfish- ness, and excellent spirit.’’ This year the team possessed some of the best players in the history of Classical soccer. Players like forward Michael Smith, fullback Gary Deets, half back Randy Piteo, and more. There wasn’t one person on the team who didn’t really belong on it. They demon- strated a lot of team work, practiced ex- tremely hard for all games, and gave it their best shot every time. The Classical boy’s soccer team started the season off on a winning streak which they carelessly gave up when they lost to Ludlow 1-2. However, the Booters came right back and on their next match walked all over touted rivals, the Cathe- dral Panthers, by defeating them 6-1. The Booters defeated most of the Pioneer Valley except for West Springfield against whom they lost once and tied once. A match which stuck out the most in Mr. Stratton’s mind was when Classical con- fronted Ludlow for the second time. Thir- ty-five seconds into the first quarter, right inner Michael Bellefeuille, assisted by SPORTS. right wing Steve Selden, placed the Booters in the lead by scoring the first goal for Classical. Three minutes later in the first quarter, Ludlow tied the score 1- 1. The two teams were deadlocked until the fourth quarter when left inner Dino Casagrande, assisted by Steve Selden, broke the tie and put Classical ahead again. Approximately one minute later, foreward Michael Smith, assisted by full- back Gary Deets, scored the goal which insured Classical’s victory over Ludlow with a total score of Classical 3, Ludlow 1. When the soccer team finally reached the quarter finals, it was put to its biggest test, facing Ludlow for the third time. This time, however, in spite of the team’s solid- ity, great defense, the more experienced playing of goalie John Danieli, and its most valiant effort to win, they still lost to Ludlow with a disappointing O-1 score. With this and other disappointing losses, none of which were on home fields, the Classical’s boy’s soccer team ended the season with 11 wins, 5 losses, and 2 ties. Mr. Stratton, however, has high hopes for next year. Most of the players will return with more experience and maturity and hopefully he can coach the Classical boy’s soccer team all the way to the top. — 1.

A FIGHTING RESPONSE Any athletic team can expect some injur- ies during the course of a season, but this year’s girls’ soccer team received more than its share. Most of the team’s veter- ans were on the injured list at some point in the season. Co-Captain Rhoda Manoo- gian had to forfeit the entire season be- cause of water on the knee, while Denise Mireault was permanently benched by a broken wrist in just the fourth game of the season. Other key players who missed a couple of games due to injuries were Den- ise Smith, Mary Walsh, Kathy Phelan and Lori Gramarossa. The plague of injuries got the team off on the wrong foot as the girls lost four of their first five games. However, from that point on the girls took on a fighting spirit, losing only five of their next thirteen games, with only one of those losses coming in the last six games. The final record read 4 wins, 5 ties and 9 166 SPORTS losses. Coach Desrochers was very proud of how the girls rose to the unfavorable situation. Many individuals constantly put in out- standing performances. Junior Denise Smith, with her remarkable speed, pro- vided a powerful goal scorer while Co- Captain Sharon Lane and Mary Walsh added valuable experience to the offen- sive attack. Maureen O’Shea and Karen Belniak were two hustlers with a lot of versatility while fullback Mary Cawley had a reputation for breaking up many of the opposition’s plays. In the final analysis, the 1978 Girls’ Soc- cer Team won’t be remembered for its tally of injuries. Instead it will be remem- bered for its indomitable spirit in the face of those injuries. ‘eee aR Ti, 1. Mary Walsh works on her skills in controlling the soccer ball. 2.

To begin with, the captain and leading goal scorer, Paul Veto, is a junior. With his blazing speed and remarkable hand to eye coordination, Veto can influence the whole team’s performance. Another ju- nior, Steve Sypek, equally paces the Bull- dogs with his all around efforts on both offense and defense. One can find Sypek anywhere on the ice, forechecking, back- checking, passing and fighting for the puck. Two more juniors who, like Sypek, do much of the ‘“‘dirty work’’ in hockey, but may go unheralded or unrecognized as goal scorers, are John MacDonald and Gene Reilly. These three individuals psy- che the team up through their hustle out on the ice. The list of top-notch underclassmen con- tinues with one of the toughest defense- men in the league, Tom Crogan. Mean- while sophomores Bob Mucha, Ray Whol- ly and Dave Boshko provide fresh talent and a lot of promise. Finally, one of the two varsity goalies is a junior. Myles Ker- oak is polishing up his skills in the net for 168 SPORTS next year through this year’s varsity ex- perience. Myles is also known for gener- ating team spirit before and during games. In naming all these underclassmen, the squad’s youth is more than evident, but the team’s seniors, although few, are still to come. Leading this category is goalie Dino Cassagrande, who has repeatedly proved that experience pays off in goal through his outstanding response to pres- sure situations. Offensive standout, Mi- chael Robie, is notorious for cranking out goals while Randy Piteo, Michael Hotaling and Bobby Motyka can be counted on to come through in the clutch. In reviewing the players of the 1978-79 Classical Hockey Team, the numbers re- veal a majority of underclassmen and a minority of seniors. Over the season this predominantly young group of skaters has done a lot of maturing as both hockey players and individuals. This growth and maturity is sure to show in the Western Mass. Tourney, and in next year’s perfor- mance as well. 1. Tom Crogan gets a little rough with a Cathedral player. 2. An exhausted Ray Wholley welcomes the end of the period. 3.

Fast Start: The Bulldogs got off to a blaz- ing start, decisively winning their first four games. In each of these victories over Holyoke, Tech, Westfield and Agawam, the team scored no less than six goals. Then the pucksters entered the Christmas Tourney and emerged with two more wins, dropping West Haven 8-5, and nip- ping West Side 3-2. Classical’s next en- counter was with arch-rival Cathedral. Throughout this bout the two teams skat- ed neck and neck, but Classical lost by a nose at the wire. Despite the final score of 6-4, the Bulldogs left convinced that they were just as good as the Panthers, and waiting for another chance to prove it. Injuries: After the Cathedral match, Clas- sical met Chicopee. Although the Bull- dogs won 7-1, this game marked the be- ginning of a period of injuries. In the last period a hard check sent Steve Sypek head first into the boards. The result: a concussion. Without the services of Sy- pek, Classical challenged a revengeful West Side club. Falling behind in the first period, the Bulldogs never caught up. A barrage of 13 penalties added to their troubles and they lost 7-1. In an indepen- dent game against Hudson, Paul Veto drew a one-game suspension for fighting. Missing Veto, Sypek and John MacDon- ald, who was suffering a leg injury, the Bulldogs struggled to a 3-3 tie with Ho- lyoke. The final wave of injuries came in the following game against Chicopee Comp. Sypek was still out, and Reilly ab- sent with a pinched nerve. During the game MacDonald reinjured his leg, and Crogan received a painful charlie horse. Under the pressure of thehard-hitting Chi- copee team, Classical fell 3-1. Back On Track: After this period of injur- ies, Classical regained its footing and de- feated Ludlow 5-2. Then they fought to a 2-2 tie with West Side, renewing their pride and confidence. From this point the team rose even higher, toppling Agawam 8-4 and shutting out Westfield 4-0. By the Agawam game, all the players were back in the lineup, and the team was once again healthy and at full force.

A high scor- ing and enthusiastic team managed to gain a second place finish in the city league. Scott Atkins lead the team with the high- est average and highest single game re- corded. Mark Discawitze recorded the highest triple game in the league. These two fine bowlers helped the team to their impressive record. A very dependable back-up squad on the J.V. team was lead by junior Wayne Basi- liere. He was able to hold his own in varsi- ty as well as J.V. meets. This added strength helped improve the team’s against the toughest opponents. The one match that made the difference was the Cathedral-Classical showdown. The Classical alley cats came up short in that meeting which ended their chances for the city championship. Coach Jermakian was very impressed with this years season. ‘‘The young team managed second place and they’re all coming back next year. This could be a championship team in the future.”’ The season ended, the alleys empty and the talk of Classical lingers on until next year. 1. The ’79 Classical Bowling team.

This lack of size proved to be quite a handicap to the young men. The fourteen member squad was at quite a disadvantage when pitted against teams with as many as fifty members. Coach Ar- thur Barnes stated, ‘“‘This season was very disappointing and aggravating considering most meets were lost by a very few points. This was a small team but it was not with- out talent.’’ When the word talent is men- tioned, the name Jeff Cornish immediately comes to mind. The senior co-captain was one of the best swimmers in Western Mass. in the distance events. He also could han- dle almost any swimmer in most events. ‘‘Versatile’’ was what coach Barnes said about Jeff. The talent on this was not restricted to one member. Co-captain Rick Ceasar supplied a lot of strength in the sprinting distances. While Jr. Jon Hayward impressed many people with his achievements in the 200 yd. freestyle and the backstroke. Sopho- mores Don Rickson and Ross Stavropolos were a strong combination in the individual medley and butterfly respectively. In the face of a two and eleven record it’s hard to see how there could have been spirit, but coach Barnes said ‘‘There was alot of team spirit especially from Ross Stavropolos and Michael Patterson; they could see the bright side of every meet.”’ Though team victories were few there were many individual triumphs, with fifty percent of the team qualifying for the Western Mass. Championship meet at the end of the season. This is an accomplishment met by few teams. When the whole season was over, including Western Mass., Mr. Barnes said ‘“‘It’s a young team and the outlook for next year is much brighter.’’ An optimistic ending to a grim season. 1.

No, it’s the Clas- sical Gymnastic Team. The girls com- bined grace and determination along with effort in all their meets. The team showed great improvement from last year and probably will continue to improve. Most of the team will return next year, bringing back that same determination and this year’s experience. However, injuries held the team back and these injuries tended to hit the more tal- ented gymnasts. Once, half of the team was unable to participate because of in- juries at the same time.

Howev- er, this says nothing about their determi- nation and ability. The girls often met oth- er gymnasts who were outside of their league and usually more experienced. Though they lost, the girls often held their own. They provided the opposition with tough competition and will remain a force in gymnastics for the years to come. 1.

They really believe in them- selves.’’, stated head-coach Dave Strat- ton. After two-years of frustration the Classical Basketball team finally matured to a point where they were a serious threat to win every game they played. Led by two of the smallest players in the league, Barry Jones and Doug Showell, Classical always had the offensive power to get back in any game. When the Bull- dog fans wanted the exciting play they always looked for the patented slam- dunks of Shelbert Anderson, who prob- ably had the best jumping ability in the league. For defensive prowess, Coach Stratton turned to Jim Garvey, a super sophomore whose play was hindered by an injury late in the season. The man with the all-around ability was Tony West- brook who was capable of playing all 3 positions. Probably Classicals’ strongest asset was the ability of the players com- 1.

Coach Stratton had so much talent on the bench with the likes of Darrly Johnson, Rick Johnson, and Tony Morris, that he seldom had to start the same group for 3 games in a row. To highlight this point, a last minute decision by Coach Stratton was to start Tony Mor- ris who then responded by pumping in 26 points. “They're a bunch of super individuals who never gave up no matter if they were behind or ahead by 10 points,’’, stated Coach Stratton. This was shown when they beat Longmeadow and Tech deci- sively after these teams had beaten them the first time they played. The future looks excellent for the Junior Varsity team lost only 2 games and with Jim Garvey and J.V. stars Orville Bailey, Gary Holmes and Benny Lawerence re- turning the Classical Basketball team will be strong for a long while.

SPORTS 177 GETTING READY FOR NEXT YEAR Due to uncontrollable circumstances, the Classical girls’ basketball team was not at its best this year. Mainly responsible for this was that the team lacked height, speed, and most of all it lacked exper- ience. It was a very young team with only one senior on it. The team had a lot to get used to, the new coach Miles Tipton, and sharing the ball with each other. Appar- ently, the young players lacked the team work needed in basketball. Also because of all the embarassing losses, the team started to loose some of its enthusiasm. However, they did not quit. Sometimes they came right back and played ex- tremely well against some very tough competition. The team had its share of good players, people like Darlene Carelock, Rhonda 178 SPORTS. Talbert, and Molly Gallimore. The prob- lem lay in the fact that each player tried to win the game by herself, which in a sport like basketball just cannot be done. As Mr. Titon clearly explained, ‘‘individually, there were some very good players and if they all played well and together, they would have amounted to a very good team.”’ However, this year was not a complete loss. It helped the team get better orga- nized and improve its team work, but most of all, this year provided the young team with more experience. Next year most of the girls will be returning with more knowledge of the game and of themselves. If they use their skills togeth- er, the Classical girls’ basketball team will end the season in triumph. ss se onewian S 1. Will it go in? 2. Darlene Carelock gets ready for the shot. 3.

AN ENCORE PERFORMANCE? After losing a total of 15 seniors to gradu- ation after their undefeated Western Mass. Championship last season, it seemed highly unlikely that the Classical Wrestling team could even come close to a repeat performance. Everybody had doubts except head-coach Dan McLaughlin and the wrestlers themselves. To show how much confidence Dan ‘“‘The Man’’ had in his team, even before the season had started, he had figured that they, at the very worst, could finish with a healthy 16-3 record. Coach McLaughlin was the least of all surprised when his grapplers started with a 12-1 record. “I’ve always felt that we had the perfect mixture of experience and youth to get us through the season successfully.’’, stated Coach McLaughlin. In experience, Coach McLaughlin was re- ferring to returning Western Mass. Cham- pions Tom Barrett and Bob McQuade 1. In the heat of the action, Bob McQuade goes for the leg of an opponent. 2.

The yankees won the World Series again and the Pittsburg Steelers became champions in the Super Bowl. While all this occurred, test tube babies were born, Isreal and Egypt were undergoing peace talks, and Steve Martin’s audiences were constantly laughing. But in the minds of the 1979 graduates there will be other moments to reminisce upon. It was the year that Classical’s school spirit came to life. Our football team performed to the utmost by winning eight games in a row. Basketball, soccer, track, and wrestling also fared well and more students attended these games. Not only did Classical’s athletic status improve, but its scholastic performance rose as well. More students were accepted to lvy League schools than in previous years, which indicated that Classical still has the reputation, academically, and socially, for preparing their students for the future. Whether the 1979 graduates pass on to colleges, the armed forces, or enter the job market, they will remember the past, welcome the future, and must leave Classical to the underclassmen. 184 CLOSING 1.

From law enforcement to medicine, from cooks to combat arms, the Army has more challenging opportunities to offer than anyone. Over $400 a month to start Army pay is better than ever. And with meals, lodging and medical and dental care provided, you’ll be surprised how far that pay will go. Skill-training courses Ever wonder where to get that ‘experience necessary” the classified ads always ask for? A good place is the Army. With hundreds of training courses, the Army can teach you skills you'll be glad to have later on. Educational opportunities You can take classes on post, or at nearby colleges and universities, with the Army paying up to 75% of tuition for approved courses taken on your own time (and under the Veterans’ Educational Assistance Program, you can build an $8,100 education fund in just 3 years). Travel opportunities Joining the Army can mean a chance to work and live in Europe, Alaska, Hawaii, Korea, the Canal Zone, or almost anywhere in the continental U.S. Join now, go later You can do just that — join now and, if you qualify, you can report up to 365 days later — with the Army’s special Delayed Entry Program. A terrific-option for high school seniors and others with unfinished business ahead of them. Serve yourself, Serve your Country To find out which programs are open, and to have the best chance of getting the one you want, call us now.
