BERYL LACEY Secretary, 61-62. ROBERT LLOYD Treasurer, 60-61. BEVERLEE LUNDGREN Secretary, 62-63. the winter season our class had designed our own class banner and had presented it to Mr. Doubleday. In the spring a young man's fancy normally turns to love, but this is apparently not so for Spartan athletes. Our boys turned instead to the competition of baseball and track, and in so doing turned out a pair of good athletic records. Spartan track finished 4-1 in single meets, 2nd in a tri-meet with Minnechaug and Longmeadow, and 3rd in the Western Massachusetts Tourney. The base- ball Spartan 9 finished the season 10-5 and pitching class- mate Bob Carlson polished Longmeadow in a 9-2 thriller. Finally, as the end of the school year approached, joyous juniors were looking forward to something bigger and better than the last day of shcool, the Junior Prom 1962. As a class we had reached another plateau, our first prom. Scores of persistent classmates put their noses to the grindstone and worked hard to make Bali Hai a tremendous success, despite a near tragedy when a pipe burst, flooding our decorations. On the evening of May 11, 1962 dreamy-eyed juniors and their dates found them- selves dancing romantically to enchanting music under beautiful, tropical decorations. Pretty Kathy Donovan was crowned Prom Queen by Mary Burgess. Linda Valade and Barbara Paounoff formed an equally lovely court. The end of our junior year also witnessed the induction of 12 classmates in the National Honor Society. These twelve examples of outstanding scholastic achievement were Sarah Brooks, Bob Steele, Elizabeth Haskins, Larry MacDonald, Skip Homicz, Carole Betterley, Jean Kapinos, Judy Leddy, Helen Powers, Charles Bickley, and Michael Casey. The last weeks of school saw fellow juniors battling away with their campaigns for final bids in high school politics. Yes, our class officers were elected: Bryan Plumb, President, James Brock, Vice President, Charles Bickley, Treasurer, Beverlee Lundgren, Secretary, and Robert A. Nelson, Member-at-Large. Our senior Student Govern- ment members would be Skip Homicz, President, Carole Betterley, Vice President, Jean Kapinos, Secretary, Kath- leen Donovan, Treasurer, Bob Steeleg and Donna Wood. Our Executive Committee busily began preparing for the big year ahead by choosing our co-advisors, Mrs. Adams and Mr. Dutille. Mrs. Adams' experience with our class in the past year coupled with Mr. Dutille's experi- ence with a senior class proved to be an unbeatable combination. Yes, it was hard to believe, but in a few short weeks we would actually be the celebrated seniors in East Long- meadow High School, as the Class of 1962 would receive their long awaited diplomas. And, oh how those last few weeks were so busily occupied. Volume One of the Aegis, our own high school yearbook, arrived at 180 Maple Street and for the next few days all that could be seen was the fiashing of red covers as yearbooks were passed here and there to be signed by our classmates and close friends who would soon be leaving good old ELHS. We ordered our senior hats, to be handed out early the following year, and chose red as the background color with white lettering. We watched with envy as our upper classmates so scrumptuously enjoyed their last few days of high school life, supplemented with such rapturous senior activities as the senior ball and the class banquet. We laughed with sentimentality in our hearts as the Class of 1962 presented their Class Day Exercises. The Class Prophecy reminded us of the future and the good times to be had next year. The Class Ballot reminded us of the many, many friends we had made in both the upper and lower classes. The Class Will reminded us of the scores of good times we had already had in ELHS. We were sad to see old friends leave but We were anxious to accept the challenge of a bright, crisp,'new senior year ahead. Finally, on June 6, 1962, our ultimate dream came true as tearful seniors became alumni and joyous juniors became the upper-classmen. V This has been a history of our class right till the day when we entered East Longmeadow High School as the official class on September 5, 1962. There is no reason to continue in writing beyond that point. A picture, so it is said, is worth a thousand words and the formal and candid pictures in this Aegix, our yearbook, continues the story of our class through its entire senior year. The three years that the Class of 1963 has spent in ELHS have been tedious at times, but oh, so enjoyable. We are the second in line of the first three classes to attend and graduate from East Longmeadow High School. Creating the repu- tation for a high school in its first couple of years is no easy task. On the shoulders of these first three classes were laid the responsibilities and burdens of building our high school. Though we may be the smallest class ever to graduate from ELHS, our contribution is as sig- nificant and as great as any other. All of these first three classes have continued equally in making East Long- meadow High School the wonderful school that it is. No class could have done it alone. It was through a united effort that ELHS was put off on the right foot. These three classes have been so close for two years that it is our fond wish to some day have one reunion of the best three classes ever to graduate from our school. These classes are the foundation upon which the future East Longmeadow High School will rest. We are proud, very proud, to be a cornerstone of this foundation. This is a history of our class during the best of its days, days that are gone forever, days that cannot be relived, our high school days. This is a history of trials, errors, tears, smiles, failures, and successes. The History Committee of the Class of 1963 would like to end this history with the following passage as quoted from Volume One of the Aegis, in hopes that it will become tradition in ending all ELHS class histories. This history, coupled with the pictures and copy in this book, The Aegis, we hope will serve to hold for us always the bright memories of these our 'days of days'. The History Committee of the Class of 1965 Bryan Plumb, Chairman Linda Valade Carole Betterley
