Morgan, Principal of Durfee High School 7 I The School Day Never To Be Relived But Always To Be Remembered Before the school clay began, students could be found scattered at all corners of the building. We came together to laugh, talk, and exchange stories of yesterday’s moments. 3 10 Togetherness could not always be expressed by sounds or words. The lone would sound and the last minute rush was on for home room. Attendance, Green Slips, Books And The Tone . . . The Morning Hours The early morning traffic jam could make a student tardy for home room. © But such thoughts were put aside as class projects and assignments still had to be completed. Socializing, Smoking, Resting, Eating . . . Lunch Time Break. Lunch time was traditionally as- sociated with eating, but it was also a time for getting together. 14 There were good times of shared laugh- ter that came from such simple things as sharing one’s thoughts or enjoying the noon sun. Solitude was seekcd by some. They would ponder over the morning’s challenges and look ahead to the afternoon's uncer- tainties 15 More Books, Headaches, Classes. . . . . . . The Afternoon Hours. After lunch we returned to the role of student, tackling our academic struggles with renewed interest. 16 Practice, Meetings, Leaving For Home. . . . . . . The After School Routine. The school doors remained opened as many involved themselves in club meetings, sports, or seeked extra help in a particular subject. The band and cheerleaders could be heard as they rehearsed for the weekend's extravaganza. 17 As we made our way home, we forgot about our yester- days and enjoyed only the pleasures of today. Glancing of the day but never ve knew th always be they be re he even lemberei d. 8 I Faculty “I am not a teacher, only a fellow traveler of whom you asked the way.

Such activities provided an outlet for personal involvement as well as stimulated the develop- ment of new interests. 37 President, Sheila Conlon Vice-President, Rhonda Fedorzyn Secretary-Trea., Anne LePage Advisor, Donald Harding Compliments of the ART CLUB 38 In the Astronomy Club, we concerned ourselves with learning about our uni- verse. During weekly visits to the school observatory, we were able to obtain a glimpse of the Universe around us. With this view, we have seen man on earth as an insignificant speck in the heavens.

Compliments of the DEBATING SOCIETY 46 DECA 47 The Drama Club offers a major dra- matic presentation each year in order to give theatrical experience to as many students as possible. This year the Drama Club presented “Star-Spangled Girl”, giving its members experience in acting and production. President, John Roies Vice President, Doug Rodrigues Secretary, Carol Wrobleski Advisor, Mr, James Tavares 48 The Environmental Control Committee has been involved in an investigation of the problem of the Fall River Sewage Treatment Plan since September. The members of the club have visited the Sewage Treatment Plant on Bay Street and have interviewed city officials and concerned citizens. The results of the research will be compiled in a report and submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency in Washington, D C. for consideration for a Presidential Award. Some of the current group members are former recipients of such an award for their research on the pollution problems of the South Watuppa Pond. Ecology Club 49 Compliments of the ECOLOGY CLUB Le Cercie Francais The purpose of the French Club is to stimulate a deeper understanding and apprecia- tion of the French language and culture. In January, the club sponsored a French Cultural Day during which both students and faculty were invited to a cheese tasting exhibit and representation of a LaFontaine Fable. A library corridor display centering on the artistic, agricultural, technological contributions of the Canadian Provinces to the growth of Canada as a world power was also planned. In addition, the members of the club published a monthly news letter describing significant events in local, national, and international French communities. Compliments of the FRENCH CLUB 50 Der Deutsche Verein President, Elizabeth Brown Advisor, Mr. John F. Sullivan 51 Compliments of the GERMAN CLUB Compliments of the HILLTOP 52 History Club The objective of the History Club has been to investigate the past and present historical aspects of man’s culture; the club sponsored tours, guided by its members, of the Technical Auditorium murals designed between 1934- 1936 under the W.P.A. program. Library cor- ridor displays and field trips, such as the one to Cambridge and to American exhibits of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts were all further reflections of the interest in the remnants of humanity that the History Club has attempted to cultivate in its members throughout the year. President, Carol R. Nerenberg Vice-President, Julia R. Alpert Advisor, Theodore J. Boudria 53 Compliments of the HISTORY CLUB 54 Library Aides The Library Aides' Society was organized to pro- vide recognition to those students who serve their school as library assistants. The members are willing to perform their library responsibilities — assisting the librarian, issuing library passes, shelving books, aiding students in their research work — with effi- ciency, good humor, and tact at all times. President, Donna Barre Vice-President, Cheryl Ochwat Secretary-Treas., Joan Feldman Advisor: Rita Nagle 55 Compliments of the LIBRARY AIDES Marching Band 56 Conductor, Edmond M. Machado The National Honor Society, whose members represent a high standard of academic achievement, works to serve Durfee through leadership and school and community service. Among its many functions has been the sponsoring of an annual tutorial program, the holding of a quite successful faculty coffee hour for which the members, departing from accepted tradition, baked an unusual assortment of pastries, and the editing of the National Honor Literary Magazine. National Honor Society 57 Compliments of the NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Literary Magazine Once a week the National Honor Society Literary Magazine staff met to read and evaluate the seemingly endless number of original poems, essays, short stories, and artwork submitted by the Durfee students and faculty. From this material, the editors and their advisor selected the best works for publication in the award-winning Literary Magazine. Compliments of the LITERARY MAGAZINE 58 59 Compliments of the PORTUGUESE CLUB Compliments of the SPANISH CLUB The main purpose of the Science Club is to increase the student’s knowl- edge of science and to understand better the importance of science in our daily lives. The club sponsors field trips to museums and other corporations whose purpose is affiliated with science, it invites lecturers from leading companies throughout the New England area, and it constantly searches out scientific problems that might be an educational and enjoyable experi- ence to solve.

The important thing is that we tried. We knew frustration but we also knew what it was to work hard for something and have it turn out successfully. Student Government was a good learning experience! President, Nancy Jane Farrissey Advisor, George Kelly 66 Varsity Club FOOTBALL Advisor, Reginald M. Pelagio 67 President, Robin Cipollini Vice-President, Lynn Arruda Secretary, Karen Ferreira Advisors, Eleanor Lindquist Irene S. Monte 68 Sports During our high school years we were able to participate in a variety of sports. For the boys there were varsity teams in football, soccer, basketball, ice hockey, wrestling, golf, and tennis. The girls had an opportuni- ty to play on intramural teams in volleyball, basketball, tennis, and gymnastics. At all times team spirit and fair play was constantly stressed. 69 Football The Durfee Toppers started with a new look in the fall of 1975. First there was a new head coach in Don Montle, who took over on an interim basis, an almost entirely new staff of assistant coaches and a fresh new attitude on the part of the players and the entire school alike. Despite a dismal 2-7-1 record, due largely because of injuries and a very tough schedule, the Toppers never failed to represent Durfee in the highest spirit, and the season was not without its bright moments and outstanding performers. Such bright moments were a 40-8 victory over Bishop Stang behind the passing of QB Jeff Petrin and the receiving of co-captain Steve Tessier, there was a tremendous defensive performance in the 0-0 tie with Somerset, and the 26-6 victory over Barnsta- ble behind the outstanding running of junior Ron Aguiar. Unfortunately Durfee suffered consecutive losses to state power Brockton, Falmouth and a heartbreaking loss as Attleboro scored in the final seconds to defeat Durfee 24-19. Later Durfee was defeated by Taunton and Dartmouth before its final game with New Bedford. Even though the Whalers won the intense rivalry the Toppers were able to battle the highly favored New Bedford to 6-6, led by the inspired play of fullback Mike Dupont and the defensive unit lead by co-captain Matt Suneson. However, the Whalers struck in the last two minutes of the game to close Durfee's football season with a loss. 70 jURFEE durfee ourpee ROW I (] to r): Joe Cyr, Mike Dupont, Mat Sunneson, Steve Tessier, Mark Saber, Jeff Petrin — ROW 2 (1 to r): Barry Botelho, Joe Kaegal, Paul Forand, Bob Frank, Mario Pereira 71 72 l rlt 73 74 Although the Durfee soccer team did not receive the recogni- tion or support of the varsity teams, it still exhibited the spirit and competitiveness that has always been present in all Durfee High School’s athletic teams. Coached by Eugene Botelho, the Durfee soccer team played a tough Southeastern Massachusetts Division I schedule. The team was composed of many underclassmen, but what they lacked in experience, they certainly made up for in sheer deter- mination and hustle. All scholastic forward Lou DeSilva lead the Toppers to a record of 5-5-1. Such victories over Stang, Attleboro, and Dartmouth highlighted the season. 75 The Durfee hockey team suffered through a disappointing year with a record of 1-12-4. The team, highly inexperienced to begin with, was plagued by injuries and illness to key players. Such injuries severely handicapped the team’s efforts against stiff competition. Captain Jim Carey and senior goalie Jeff Re- zendes, both key players, fell to injuries at the season’s begin- ning. They were sorely missed during most of the season. The team’s third year of competition under the direction of coach Bob Richards brought only one victory for the Hilltop- pers, a 9-1 triumph over Bristol Aggie. The combination of injuries, illness, and inexperience against a brutal schedule pro- duced the hockey team’s poor record. The team, however, should be commended for their efforts and hard work through- out the season. At all times they constantly demonstrated ag- gressiveness and team spirit while on the ice. 77 Best Wishes Class of “76” — Mr. Mrs. Robert Plourde Left to right: Steven Tessier, James Carey, Jeff Rezendes, Robert Lcitc, David Cabeceiras, Michael Duarte 78 Basketball Basketball Durfee’s 1975-76 basketball season was one of many accomplishments. The Hilltop- pers, coached by Skip Karam, won its second consecutive Southeastern Massachusetts Division I championship with an unbeaten record in division competition (14-0). The only loss during the regular season came at the hands of Rhode Island state finalist East Providence in the Rogers High Christmas tournament. Except for that game early in the year the Toppers were awesome, winning their next 18 games. This string included two wins over arch rival New Bedford, one of which was an exciting come from behind 53-50 overtime win in New Bedford, as well as double victories over area rival Bishop Connolly and Bishop Stang. When the team faced its toughest competition it produced some of its finest basketball. They overpowered tough Barnstable twice and in the final game of the regular season they dumped a strong Brockton team. Probably the best game that Durfee played in many years came in the State Division I South semi-finals against Catholic Memorial. Despite 35 points by Memorial's all-state guard Ron Perry, the Toppers showed what an all out team effort can do by winning 76-71. The Hilltoppers closed out the year with a loss to two-time defending state champs Boston English 61-58 for a final overall record of 22-2. Although the team was successful because of team work, there were outstanding individual performers. Most important were the efforts of captain Jim Mercer who not only lead the offense with more than 20 points per game, but provided the needed leadership to spark the team's efforts. Steady and at times brilliant were the efforts of junior Ken Fiola and sophomore Kevin Whiting as they provided offensive power and strong rebounding over the entire year. Not to be overlooked were the performances of seniors Mike Medeiros and Matt Suneson who were solid in every game. The team was supported by the entire school’s enthusiasm and reflected it with their actions on the court. The Toppers’ overwhelming success will remain a source of great pride at Durfee for many years to come. 79 DISTRESS! CONCERN! The Many Faces Of Coach Karam CONTENT! ANGER! INDECISIVENESS! 80 The Changing Expressions Of The Hilltoppers. 81 82 In only its third year of existence, the Durfee wrestling team provided the school with another outstanding season. The 1975-1976 varsity wrestlers, in competing against some of the areas finest teams, produced a record of 10 wins and only 3 losses. The wrestlers, under the superb training of coach Jack Springer, extended their undefeated home record to two years, before an increasingly larger and more supportive group of fans in the Durfee Technical gym. The team's home perform- ance resulted in victories over Bridgewater-Raynham, North Quincy, Hingham, Foxboro and, in the last home match of the year, a thrilling 28-26 come-from- behind victory over Franklin. The Toppers were equally impressive in away matches as they achieved their first victory in 3 years over Middleboro High and continued with wins over Randolph, Plymouth-Carver, Catholic Memorial and Quincy. Individually, the Hilltoppers were lead by co-captain Jeff Shaker, who had a 13-0 seasonal record. Shaker also set a school record with 18 consecutive victo- ries. Stalwarts for the team, too, were Seniors Bill LaBossiere, co-captain, Pete Hamel, Carlos Borges and Bob Frank. The season reflected Durfee's highest finish ever in a tournament. The team finished second behind host team Marshfield, as Shaker and Sophomore Bill Worsley won individual titles and five other Durfee wrestlers finished third.

For the second consecutive year, the girls’ basketball team, coached by Beverly Cambra, became the Massachusetts Division I champions. Co captained by Sue Shaker and Mickey Allen, the Toppers swept to a 12-0 division record and a 15-1 overall record losing only to Bourne 48-41. Behind the outstanding offensive efforts of seniors Carol Lynch and Colleen Murphy, combined with the expert plays of junior Joanne Medeiros, the team defeated conference rivals Bishop Gerrard, Taunton, and Coyle- Cassidy, twice each. One of the outstanding single games of the season was the girls 73-14 dismantling of Old Rochester behind a balanced scoring attack. Two superior features of the 1975-1976 girls’ basketball team were outstanding individual performances combined with team depth and an all out team effort to produce a winning season of such great success. Well directed by coach Cambra, the entire team showed an intense winning attitude as well as fine spirit that reaped its rewards in the winning of the division title. 86 Beverly Cambra THE TOPPERETTES In Action 87 Cheerleaders Head: Cindy Patota Gina Anlonelli Elizabeth Chace Lorrie Dias Morine Mello Donna Ramos Gail Roderick Rita Roy Mary Suneson Melanie Waldron Julie Watson Advisor, Elizabeth Sullivan 88 Head: Valerie Vasoncellos Virgin a D'Adamo Karyl Ferreira Wendy Ferreira Barbara Machado Flagtwirlers Nancy Martin Joanne Oliveira Cathy Pytel Karen Soares Advisor: Sharon Day 89 Majorettes Head: Martha Coogan Laurie Couture Fran Gould Pat Hannafin Alice Lindsay Lorna Lamond Claire Petrin Joyce Rena ltd Liz Sullivan Advisor: Sharon Day 90 SENIORS The school day, filled with those hours of learning, discovering and understanding, are now only a memory.

But I have promises to keep. And miles to go before I sleep. And miles to go before I sleep ' JULIA ROSE ALPERT ”1 began to think of this school As a microcosm of the world; After a year I felt a fool Because I thought it such an unblemished pearl. Nevertheless, I learned my lessons all the while And now say good-bye with a smile ’ ALPERT A„ARAUJO “The great tragedy of life is not that men perish, but that they cease to love ’ PAUL MARIE ARRUDA “Today wc know more than yesterday, but tomorrow we will know more than today.” BRENDA ASHWORTH They always talk who never think.

SOULIER Joanne BOUTIN Susan POTVIN Debby PACHECO Martha LANNIGAN Erin and Lisa FLETCHER Mr. Mrs. Robert CURRAN Thomas T. WILLIAMS Theodore J. BOUDRIA Robert W. WINSTON Mr. Mrs. Eugene PINEAULT Realizing at the outset that the 1976 Record Book-mighLpossibly represent a last edition, the entire staff oriented itself towards working diiligently and eagerly in hopes of making this Record Book the best ever. Combining forces to make our goal a realistic one involved some rather large contributions on the part of many. Outstanding services were rendered by Bud Dick of the Western Publishing Co. and L a ring Studios. My special thanks go to Albert Araujo, the student photogra- pher, and R.W. Pineault, our ever-present advisor, not to mention the hard working members of the Record Book Staff. Although the years of high school at Durfee are gone forever, the building will remain to remind us of the days we used to grace its corridors and classrooms. True Durfee High is old, yet with its age comes the respect which we and former graduates have had for this school Our objectives will have been fulfilled if this 1976 Record Book reminds us of this respect and instills in all our memories the old granite edifice situated in the center of Fall River. HENRY KATES D UR FEE ALMA MATER , i Raise our praises high to Diirfee, AJma Mater dear', . Tow’ring high'beside,the river. Radiant beacon clear. Chorus Love and praise we render ever Voices raise on high. Loud we sing of Durfee’s glory To the earth and sky. II God preserve for Alma Mater Standards staunch and tine. High aloft we’ll lift her banner Bright with Durfee’s hue.
