Enfield High School - Echo Yearbook (Enfield, CT)

Text from Pages 1 - 140 of the 1962 volume:

ENFIELD ECHO ENFIELD HIGH SCHOOL Thompsonville, Connecticut We, the members of the class of 1962, stand directly in the center of the Great Bridge of life. Behind us through the fog of past years we see our childhood — grammar school, junior high — each a supporting girder to the vast structure. Ahead, through a churning mist lies — college? the business world? marriage? — none of us can fortell. We must stride on confidently to complete our journey across the Bridge for which our four years at Enfield High have pre- pared us. When we were meek freshmen we passed through the toll station to high school proudly paying the fee we had earned after two years of hard work — our junior high diplomas. At this point began the portion of our journey which we shall look back upon with fond memories — the transition from childhood to young adulthood. Many times it was necessary for the understanding and patient faculty mem- bers at Enfield to bolster and repair gaps in the Bridge. Their continued efforts in our progress buttressed many weakening spans in our con- struction. As we travelled along the Great Bridge to- gether in our quest for knowledge, we paused at several points to explore newly discovered interest both in school work and extra-curricular activities. But each time we returned to the main flow of traffic, to continue the forward progress with our classmates. On occasion the supporting piers were weak and the Bridge dark and nar- row, but we steadfastly journeyed onward (occasionally we were prodded) to satisfy our curiosity for knowledge. The influences which have molded us during our past years at Enfield High School shall be felt strongly even after we have achieved our fondest goal. This book is a permanent record of those influences affecting us as individuals and as a class. Traditionally, in its last year, the class captures in words and pictures, events which have influenced its members, and records these events in a yearbook to be laid aside until some distant future date when the individual member unearths the Book and relives, nostal- gi ally, those moments of joy and frustrations. This is an opportunity to express our gratitude to those who have guided us along the Bridge. They have prepared us for our farewell to the halls of Enfield High to begin the final trek of our journey to the crest of the Bridge of Life called Success, Contentment, and Happiness.” 2 DEDICATION Dear Mrs. Johnson, Each morning, would-be mathematicians were greeted by your cheerfulness. Your en- couragement prodded us on to ever higher levels of mathematics. Difficult problems were solved under the guidance of your patient and understanding manner. You helped us to unravel the mysteries of figures, and your enthusiasm spurred us toward ex- cellence. If one of us faltered, you were at his side to aid and help him to recover. Geometry, Algebra, Trigonometry — all were understood when you presented them to us in your lucid manner. We will never be able to fully repay you for the knowledge and understanding you have given us. Nonetheless, we hope that with this small bouquet of words, you will understand how we feel as we dedicate this Book to you. Sincerely yours, The Class of '62 MRS. ANNE JOHNSON 3 CONTENTS Dedication 3 Contents 4 Board of Education 5 Administration 6-7 Faculty 8-12 Class Officers 14 History 15 Seniors 16-50 Cum Laude 51-53 Statistics 55-60 Proms 62-64 Art 65 Dramatics 68 Music 69 Clubs and Activities 70-79 Football 82-90 Basketball 91-95 Baseball 96-97 Cheerleaders and Majorettes 98-100 Washington Trip 104-105 Classroom Candids 101-103 Patrons and Patronesses 106-107 Advertisers 108-132 Art Work Luigi Bianco ’62 MR HAROLD DAIGNEAU MR. CHARLES GASKELL MR EDWARD ARROWSMITH ENFIELD BOARD OF EDUCATION The approaches to the bridge of high school knowledge were marked by the welcome and encouragement of the Entield Board of Education. These self-sacrificing gentle- men provided the groundwork through determining school policy and acting as liason between educators and tax- payers. Then came the piers of learning: new buildings, books and supplies, transportation facilities, and educa- tional personnel. At the last arch, our senior year, the piers were reinforced by a renovated building, an in- creased number of books and supplies, a new library, and the prospects of a new school. We offer our deepest gratitude to those members on whose piers of self- sacrifice and interest we have constructed our bridge of knowledge. MR. JOSEPH HOMICKI Assistant Superintendent of Schools MR.

With the faculty and administration laying the foundations of these bridges, success by the majority of us was guaranteed. Having these bases to work with, each of us placed his stones of achievement to make an unforgettable crossing. For many of us Seniors this bridge of knowledge we built on, will definitely not be the last one. An even greater bridge, with greater spans of knowledge will be undertaken by many departing Seniors this year, as they enter various colleges and technical schools. Those not going on to post-secondary education will also benefit from the foundations with which Enfield High has endowed them. These students, venturing into their diverse fields of employment, will build upon their foundation of learning, a free and democratic society consistent with their philosophy of living as learned in their educational career. These four years have, no doubt, filled the minds of many of us, desirous of obtaining an insight into the future, by taking full advantage of the courses provided by our school. But, above all, what most of us will remember, I believe, is the unity and quality of our class spirit. This spirit was not only reached on the athletic field and the dramatic stage, but also on the academic plane, the most beneficial of all. We can hardly begin to express our appreciation to the faculty and administration for all their hard work and determination to make us better products of this modern world. But we do hope to be worthy of all the conscientious attention they lavished on us in the years ahead. May our future deeds reward their efforts. 14 Campaign Promises P. I. P. William Cooper Presidential Candidate HISTORY The bridge of our high school years is behind us. The Grear Bridge of Life” beckons us. Lee us pause to remember moments of our journey over the four arches of our high school life. 1958 _ 1959 The First Arch The timidity of Freshmen was not ours. Excitement and exhuberence was increased by meeting new friends and rediscover- ing old ones. We were no longer members of Hazardvillc Memo- rial. A. D. Higgins, or Saint Joseph Grammar Schools. We be- longed to Enfield, and the high school belonged to us. No upper- classmen ventured to disrupt our dreams. The afternoon was the era of the Freshman. We elected Virginia Evans, President, to lead us over the First Arch. Lynn Swiatowski was elected Vice-President; Jfack Albano, Treasurer, and Eileen Scavotto, Secretary. Emily Alaimo represented us in the Student Council. Our Freshmen boys began to demonstrate their athletic abilities in football, basketball, and baseball. Familiar to every Freshman was the prowess of Fran Typrowicz. Bob Licitra, Doug Warner. Hube Santos, Jack Albano, and Denny Scudieri. Academic excellence was achieved by our class, too. Mary Eddy was awarded the English Composition Prize; Richard Gregorski, the Latin Award; and Mickey Chambers, the Algebra Award. 1959 — 1960 The Second Arch We approached the second arch eager to meet the upper- classmen, but reluctant to wake up so early in the morning. From eight o'clock each dark morning to twelve-fifteen each noon, we attended classes. Our afternoons were devoted to activities and homework. We re-elected Virginia Evans, President, to guide us over the second arch. Lynn Patrevita was elected Vice-President; Jack Albano, Treasurer; and Phyllis LaRussa, Secretary. Our Student Council representatives were Joanne Holmgren, Emily Alaimo, Susan FitzGibbons. and Ray Montagna. Junior Red Cross Repre- sentatives were Pat Attardi, Ray Montagna, Louie Bianco, Joyce Pierog, Joanne Holmgren, and Terry Mancuso. The Lamplighters were bolstered by Virginia Evans, Donna MacNair, Louis Bianco, Jack Albano, Mike Blaney, Dennis Scudieri. and Terry Garstka, who contributed much to the success of the school play, The Man Who Came to Dinner”. The athletic reputation that we nurtured as Freshmen was amplified by a concentrated assault on the football, basketball, and baseball teams. Terry Garstka, Francis Typrowicz, Bob Licitra, Doug Warner, Hube Santos, Jack Albano, Landon McDonald, Ron Ciesones, Tom Taylor, and Mike Blaney were familiar names on the roster. Basketball and baseball spectators were dazzled by the play of Bill Homicki, Hube Santos. Mickey Chambers. Mike Blaney, and Jack Albano. The frenzied cheers of our J.V. Cheerleaders. Susan Fitz- Gibbons. Miriam Blowen. Joanne Holmgren, Eileen Scavotto, and Lynn Patrevita, spurred the enthusiasm of the class. Our musical fame in the Echoes was beyond reproach due to the harmonious voices of Norman Caplette, Mike Blaney, Carol McGrath, and Linda Burns. The highlight of our second year's social activities was the Sophomore Hop. This marked our departure from the under- classman's world of activities to the realm of the upperclassmen. Our record of academic excellence was continued by the achievements of Mary Eddy and Carol Guy, members of the African History Honors Group. Mary Eddy was also awarded the Latin II prize. I960 — 1961 The Third Arch The world of an upperclassman awaited us over the third arch. Terry Smith was elected President to pilot us this year; Dennis Scudieri, Vice-President; Tack Albano, Treasurer; and Patry Pych, Secretary. For our six Student Council representatives we elected Lynn Patrevita. Susan FitzGibbons, Joyce Holt, Jacob Roach. Steve Pearson, and Thelma Arvantely. Our football record boasted among its stars Hube Santos, lack Albano. Steve Pearson. Bob Licitra. Francis Typrowicz. Lan don McDonald. Terry Garstka. Mike Blaney. and Doug Warner. Baseball and Basketball were not neglected by the performances of Bill Homicki, Doug Warner, Bob Mallcy, Hube Santos, Mickey Chambers, Terry Smith, Steve Pearson, Mike Blaney, Dick Rosseau, Warren Greene, Bob Foraker, Bob Mack and Bob Licitra Nancy Urbanowski, Pat Kostck, Carol Yaksta, Patty Pych and Terry Mancuso added beauty as well as skill to the girls' basket- ball team. The Cheerleaders voiced the excitement of the entire class. Susan FitzGibbons, Miriam Blowen, Joanne Holmgren, Eileen Scavotto, Lynn Patrevita, Jo-Ellen Manton, Kathy Norris, and Sissy Olschafskie were the mirrors of our exhuberence. An innova- tion, the Majorettes, Lynn Swiatowski, Donna MacNair, Andrea Pinkul, Betty Shea, Carol McGrath, and Maureen Delaney were Junior class Rockettes”. The colors of the rainbow greeted the couples at the Junior Prom. Under the general chairmanship of Terry Smith, the audi- torium emerged as a Ride on a Rainbow”. Hube Santos and Joyce Holt welcomed the guests. Among the actors and actresses prominent in the school play, A Bell for Adano”, were Landon McDonald, Eddie Ashton, James Pelligrini, and Warren Greene. Eileen Scavotto attended Laurel Girls' State, and Mike Blaney. Terry Smith, and Bill Homicki went to Nutmeg Boys’ State. Our class reputation for academic excellence was maintained at the Graduation Exercises. Thelma Arvantely was awarded the History Prize; Mary Savage, the Stenography I Award; Gail Mondella, the Bookkeeping Award; and the Leadership Medallion was given also to Thelma Arvantely. 1961 — 1962 The Fourth Arch Seniors at last! Only the last arch was ahead of us before we left our high school bridge. Not only was our school renovated but traditional elections emerged in a new guise under the magic wand of the Student Council. The party system with all its responsibilities and cam- paigning was initiated. The candidates of the P.I.P., Progressive Independent Party, were elected. Bill Cooper, the President, was to guide us over the last arch. Mike Blaney, Vice-President; Mau recn Delaney, Secretary; and Carl Wiezalis, Treasurer, were his fellow officers Our Varsity Football Team reaped greater laurels by emerg- ing as Suburban League Champions. Stars in the hearts of every- one were Hube Santos, Jack Albano, Steve Pearson, Dennis Scudieri, Francis Typrowicz, Landon McDonald, Bob Licitra, Doug Warner, Terry Garstka, Terry Smith, Mike Blaney, and Jake Roach, manager. Their path to victory- was paved with the cheers of the Varsity Cheerleaders — Joanne Holmgren, Miriam Blowen, Jo-Ellen Manton, Sissy Olschafskie, Kathy Norris, Susan Fitz- Gibbons, and Co-captains Lynn Patrevita and Eileen Scavotto. The basketball team achieved a pinnacle, too. The Green Raiders, composed of Santos, Scudieri, Blaney. Homicki, Smith and Malley won their share of glory by placing second in the Valley Wheel. Theatrically, glory was ours also. The Andersonville Trial” under the direction of Mr. Gross won ample laurels from the audience of this magnificent play. Among the cast were Matthew Skypek, Richard Bourque, Don Griffin, Conrad Kappel, Eddie Ashton, Gail Firth. Warren Greene. Dick Rousseau and Tom Wojton. Yearbook expenses were swallowed along w-ith the cupcakes eaten by the starving Seniors and Juniors. Under the direction of Mary Eddy and Richard Gregorski. cupcake sales were initiated to raise funds. The auditorium glistened w-ith white and gold for the elegant Senior Prom. Elaborate decorations wrought a wonderland, A Frosted Fantasy . Welcoming us to this land of snow and icicles were Thelma Arvantely and Hube Santos. The academic reputation of our class reached another high when Pat Crowley received the Homemaker of Tomorrow award and Thelma Arvantely, the D.A.R. Award. We have paused a moment to relive some of the highlights of our past four years. The bridge of our high school years lies behind us. The Great Bridge of Life runs before. Eagerly we continue our journey, assured that w-e are well equipped for the future. 15 EMILY ANN ALAI MO Student Council 1, 2; Latin Club 1, 2; Pep Club; Junior Prom Committee; Farewell Prom Committee; Literary edi- tor, Yearbook; Junior Achievement; Ticket Chairman, Senior Prom; Library Aid.

Award for Good Citizenship THELMA ARVANTELY Annually most organizations select from among their numbers the outstanding members based upon their service to the community. So, too, do we of Enfield High choose a boy and girl of the Senior Class, whom, we think, will be most successful in the coming years. This year our class has endorsed Mark Zebrowski, and Thelma Arvantely as the Boy and Girl Most Likely to Succeed and justly so. For in all their activities they have proved them- selves to be in possession of those capabilities requisite for future success. The honor of being the Betty Crocker Home- maker of Tomorrow goes to Pat Crowley, who, by winning a competitive examination, demon- strated that she is the top homemaker in Enfield High. 54 Quietest Girl and Boy CAROL GUY AND JAMES HUNT Carol Guy, Letter of Commendation NATIONAL MERIT SCHOLARSHIP EXAMINATION Parade of Youth Correspondent LOUIS BIANCO A familiar sight to the students of Enfield is a book-ladened Maureen, slowly making her way through the halls to the quiet solitude of the library. Maureen combines diligence and dignity in all her undertakings. While in the library, Maureen is very likely to meet Carol and James studying in their usual quiet manner. These two unassuming students possess endless potential. For instance, Carol recently received a letter of commendation for her high score on the National Merit Examination, while James is a storehouse of scientific knowledge. Another worker in our midst is Louie, who, as our Parade of Youth Correspondent, reports important school events to the Hartford Courant. This important post permits this talented student to exercise the creativity with which he is endowed. 55 Most Diligent MAUREEN DELANEY Best All Around Girl and Boy THELMA ARVANTFLY AND HUBERT SANTOS Class Musician CONRAD KAPPEI. In our halls of Enheld, we have many varying personalities. One of the unsung heroes of the Glee Club this year was its pianist. The club was fortunate in having the harmonious accom- paniment of Conrad Kappel on the piano and will certainly miss him in future years. Two other w'ell-known faces at Enheld are Thelma Arvantely and Hubie Santos w'ho pos- sess effervescent personalities, unlimited abilities and infinite interests. Their social, athletic, academic, and leadership qualities have w'on them the honor of best all around girl and boy. Another person who brightens our school is Marylyn Bryla. Did you hear the one about . . may be a typical greeting of this bouncy, bubbling girl. Her wide grin and effervescent cheerfulness brighten up all her surroundings which will shine undimmed even after she has left the halls of Enheld. Most Cheerful Person MARYLYN BRYLA 56 Most Considerate and Courteous Person MARY EDDY Most Businesslike Girl and Boy CAROLE TARASAVITCH AND RAYMOND MONTAGNA Carole and Ray have proved their business capabilities throughout high school. Their de- voted service and unselfish support of school activities, such as the school play and the proms, have greatly added to the enjoyment of these programs by the students. Among those who have participated in these activities are Susan and Carl who have long been admired for their good taste and neat appearance whether in school or in class activi- ties. The) have both always been models of fine fashion. Another respected model citizen is Mary Eddy. Throughout her four years at Enfield. Mary has shown such qualities as to fully de- serve the honor of being noted most considerate- person. Her classmates and teachers have always found her a pleasure to work with in all re- spects, whether social or academic. Mary's pleasant disposition pointed up all her other qualities. Best Dressed Girl and Boy SUSAN 1TT7.GIBBONS AND CARL WIEZALIS Cutest Girl and Boy SUSAN MEAD AND ROBERT MALLEY Class Actress VIRGINIA EVANS Sue Mead and Bob Malley have impressed the senior class not only by their physical charm but by their inner cheerfulness and sincerity. These qualities have gained them many friends throughout the past four years. Starring in the Dramatics Club's immensely popular play, The Andersonville Trial,” Ginny Evans has been elected Class Actress in recogni- tion of her performance as the war-widowed, Mrs. Ambrose Spenser.” Her re-creation of Southern pathos during the Civil War Years lent a most moving touch to the play. Terry Mancuso and Hube Santos have so ex- celled in competitive sports that they have been recognized as the most athletic girl and boy. Terry was the star of the Girls' Varsity Basket- ball Team in her Junior year. Hube has played diligently on the gridiron, on the basketball court, and on the baseball diamond. These ath- letes, in addition to their sports prowess, are sterling examples of good citizens in the class. Most Creative LUIGI BIANCO Creativity has been a predominant factor in ail planes of our high school life. It is especially noticeable in Louie Bianco in both his artistic and writing abilities. Two examples of his creativity are the excellent water colors in the library, and in his literary competition. Creativity also has been present for the past four years in Marylyn and Hube. With serious, as well as fun loving personalities, they realize that there is not less wit nor less invention in applying rightly a thought one finds in a book, than being the first author of that thought.” Thelma and Dennie have amiable personali- ties as well as charming, outward appearances decorated by their ever present smiles. Most Attractive Girl and Boy THELMA ARVANTELY AND DENNIS SCUDIERI 59 Wittiest Girl and Boy MARYLYN BRYLA AND HUBERT SANTOS Delegates to Laurel Girls' State and Nutmeg Boys' State William Homicki, Eileen Scavotto, Michael Blaney, Terry Smith Class Artist LUIGI BIANCO Laurel Girls' State and Nutmeg Boys' State is sponsored by the Veteran Organizations to provide high school juniors with the oppor- tunity to learn more about their government. Our class' delegates, Eileen Scavotto, Mike Blaney, Bill Homicki, and Terry Smith, spent an enjoyable week at UCONN where they gained practical experience in political proce- dures — in nominating and electing represen- tatives on the state and local level. Luigi Bianco has been elected class artist and not without reason. Louie's skill with pencil and paints, increasingly evident, has been accentu- ated by the help of the school's art course. In whatever activity art work was necessary, Louis was on hand. The many posters announcing forthcoming activities which lined the corridors, were reminders of his talent. If you see a student wandering the corridors of Enfield High with his head in a chemistry book, chances are it's James Hunt, our class scientist. Apparently his quiet demeanor is con- ducive to the study of chemical equations and preparations. His high grades on chemistry tests make a curve impossible! THE JUNIOR PROM On April 14, 1961, a memorable date in our journal, we danced to the music of the Hi-Tones at our Junior Prom. We’ll vividly recall that frantic Friday afternoon when we were scurrying around trying to arrange balloons, crepe paper, and tables to best carry out the theme, A Ride on a Rainbow.” The Host and Hostess for the occasion, Hubert Santos and Joyce Holt, lent their charm in reflecting the gay atmosphere of the evening. The bright, rich-colored dresses of the girls reinforced the mood of cheerfulness generated by the couples As night dissolved into morning, we asssembled once more at our favorite eating places. After such an exciting evening, home was a most welcome sight. The ballons have long since deflated, but the memories still loom large in our minds.

It was a hectic afternoon of work and anticipation. We seniors were busily dec- orating our newly painted auditorium to incorporate the theme of ’ Frosted Fan- tasy.” The finishing touches were finally made, and we hurried home to dress for the occasion. That evening, while dancing to the music of Eddie Abrahamson, we enjoyed the charming atmosphere which we had created. Host and Hostess, Hubert Santos and Thelma Arvantely, led the Grand March. Now- and then we paused to re- fresh ourselves with punch served to us by the underclassmen. With the close of the evening, the couples gradually drifted away to midnight restaurants and home.

EMILY ALIAMO. On a balmy, clear June evening with stars in our eyes, we set out to dance in an exotic Hawaiian atmosphere created by swaying palms and the strains of the Eddie Abrahamson orchestra. Prom goers were greeted by the smil- ing Host and Hostess, Ray Montagna and Betty Shea, who presided over the corona- tion of the King and Queen, Joe Pych and Karen Collins. In regal splendor they led the Grand March. At twelve o’clock the couples peered over their shoulders at the beautiful Blue Hawaii as a farewell to Enfield High. 64 Students enrolled in this year's art course had a pleasant surprise at the open- ing of the school year. Their new class room with its bright walls and enormous window created a pleasant and cheerful atmosphere in which to work. Under the expert direction of Mr. Fin- man, the enthusiastic young artists at- tempted such projects as charcoal draw- ings, abstract paintings, water colors and sculpture. They have recently been en- couraged to undertake the creation of original advertisements, allowing them to exercise their artistic talents, in addition to giving them actual practice in what may be their future career. But many stu- dents are taking this course merely be- cause of their appreciation of art. To these, the syllabus for the year offers the many diversified fields of the subject which make the art course extremely re- warding. Sculpture is easy . . . when Instructor Richard Finman is on hand to explain the finer points to State Scholastic Award Winner Luigi Bianco, and Carol Benbow. Room 21 at Christmas time.

Upon meeting in September, the Dramatics Club elected Michael Blaney President, Ginny Evans Vice President, Hube Santos Secretary, and Richard Ashton Treasurer. Joe Halpin assumed the tedious job of stage manager. Business managers were Raymond Montagna and Car- ole Tarasavitch. Student Directors were Hube Santos, and, for the sec- ond year, Jack Albano. Traditionally, high school groups throughout the nation, present com- edies. Enfield High is unique in this respect, since this year a straight dramatic play with a moral was planned. After much consideration, The Andersonville Trial was selected as the vehicle of this year’s dramatic venture. Santos, MacDonald and Greene watch Thelma Arvantely and Matty Skypek rehearse the opening scene of Andersonville Trial, as Judge Bill Homicki smiles. He didn't forget a single line. (He didn’t have any.) 66 This year, the Dramatics Club met with a great number of difficul- ties. Because the auditorium was in the process of renovations, the play had to be performed at the Hazard- ilie Memorial School. Here, their talents were handicapped by a small stage and limited settings. However, through the encouragement of the faculty tlirector, Mr. I:ranklin S. Gross, the group overcame these ob- stacles and surged onward to pre- sent a smashing success. I'm innocent! declares Richard Bourque to Defense Counsel Matthew Skypek. General Homicki and Prosecutor Albano aren't very impressed by his defense! That's the place, says Virginia Evans, as she points out Andersonville Prison Camp to Thelma Arvantely. 67 You’ve got to learn those lines! Student Director James Albano hammers home a point at rehearsal, as Guard Warren Greene and Attorney Don Griffin look worried. Miss Frechette arui James Albano make up Bill Homicki for his role as a Civil War General. Miss Frechette makes up Dick Bourque, while James Albano tries to figure out how to put on suspenders . . . The climax to an exciting evening — Defendant Bourque begins to crack under the hammering of Andersonville Trial Prosecutor James Albano. Michael Blaney questions witness Richard Rous- seau in a dramatic moment from The Anderson- ville Trial. Hubert Santos relives his harrowing days at An- dersonville Prison in the memorable role that won him an Oscar for his fine supporting perform- ance. GLEE CLUB MUSIC DEPARTMENT The music program consists of two main groups, performers and non-performers. The basic non- performing group consists of four years of music appreciation. Music I and music II deal mainly with listening and understanding as well as studying the different types and forms of music. This includes classical, light classical, and modern music. Music III and music IV are more advanced courses consisting of music theory. The design of these courses is to pro- vide the student with a firm background in writing harmonizations and musical arrangements. In the latter phases of the courses the student becomes faced with the problems of actual composition. The second group is the performing group. This consists basically of the glee club and band, and re- quires a knowledge of music that the student has acquired on his own through past experience. Back row, left to right: Landon MacDonald.

STUDENT COUNCIL The highest tribute that can be bestowed upon a student by his fellow classmates is election to the student council. The dual purpose of this vital body is first, to assist in the regulation of all student activities and provide an opportunity for students to express their ideas and opinions concerning their school. Secondly, the council acts as a liason between the school administration and the student body. It helps to create and maintain a harmonious atmosphere in which our daily activities may be carried out effec- tively. This year the group instituted a new system of elections in which the members of the junior and senior classes were divided into two parties within their respective classes. Candidates were then chosen at separate party meetings. Boundless energy, pent up for months, was let loose during the campaigns in the ensuing weeks. Many helpful ideas were suggested by those students who had participated in the Girls' and Boys' State. From their experiences the previous summer, they were able to help solve seemingly un- surmountable problems. The results of student efforts, channeled in the right direction, were amazing. Such proposals as student patrols were included in party platforms. Forseeing a need for some form of literature as indoctrination for entrance into the new Enfield High School, the council had created a handbook in which club activities, description of courses, a map of the entire school, and other helpful information were included. Although the student council sponsored the many activities of this year capably with its present member- ship of twenty, elections held in the spring enlarged the group greatly, since the number of school affairs in the new high school will certainly double. 70 JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT Junior Achievement provides the pier of business in our high school bridge. Members of the Enfield-Somers Junior Achievement meet in the cafeteria building of the Bigelow-Sanford Company and learn the methods and the prob- lems of the business world by actual experience. Under the guidance of a sponsoring company and three advisers, we organize and run a model company. Its success or failure rests upon our efforts. Organization, manufacturing, selling, advertising — these are all part of our experi- ences. Selling stock, making a product, and selling it, are only part of our responsibilities. Executives are elected from the company and direct its progress. Additional benefits are evident, too. Scholar- ships, selling competitions, proficiency awards await the interested. The sponsoring company encourages its protege by extending the oppor- tunity to examine its plant. Junior Achievement offers its members valuable knowledge and ex- perience before the J.A.'s enter the true business world.

Sitting, left to right: James Mokriski, Don Aitchison, Maureen Delaney, and Richard Rousseau. MODEL CONGRESS A group of students from Enfield interested in the functions of government participate in the Model Congress held annually at the American International College. Each develops his own bill or amendment and presents it at the convention of the two houses. This gathering is patterned directly after the United States Congress. This activity, in addition to training the participants to organize their thoughts clearly, teaches them to speak effectively and precisely through debating and formal speaking. Gaining this type of experience this year is Jim Mokriski, who put forth the amendment to the amendment on the World Court. His well developed logic and well presented argument made quite an impression on the assembly. Another dele- gate was Ed Miller whose bill concerned Federal aid to those wishing to become engineers. Among the other representatives were Maureen Delaney, Don Aitcheson, and Dick Rousseau who all made an equally competent showing. Delegates from more than sixty high schools in the northeastern part of the country were present at the Model Congress held on March thirtieth and thirty-first at American International College. We are proud to say that the representation of Enfield was handled more than adequately by our five students, exhibiting one phase of our school's activities. JUNIOR RED CROSS The Enfield High School Junior Red Cross Council this year continued its usual helpful activities. In addition to these normal activities, the Council under- took a special Christmas project — a visit to the Convalescent Home in Hazardville, where they brought comfort and cheer to the patients. Another outstanding activity during the Christmas Season was the making of Christmas stockings for the patients in the Veterans' Hospital. These stockings were filled with personal items solicited from the students in the school.

SOPHOMORE HOP COMMITTEE The major fund-raising campaign of the class of 62 began in our second year with the Sophomore Hop. Various committees w-ere appointed in preparation for the events which featured Brad Davis as the disc jockey. Enjoyable dancing and outstanding entertainment were also pre- sented much to the delight of all who attended. Though it was our first under- taking, the success of this dance stimu- lated our efforts for further activities. At this point we made our first deposit for our senior fund. 73 YEAR BOOK STAFF Seated, left to right: Mary Savage; Robert Okun, Senior Standing, left to right: Mary Eddy, co-litcrary editor; section editor; Thelma Arvantely, editor-in-chief; Mark Mickey Chambers, sports editor; Andrea Pinkul.

YEARBOOK STAFF As we transversed the Bridge of our high school years, we overcame many difficulties, engaged in memorable activities, and, most importantly, pro- gressed along the intellectual plane. We of the Year- book Staff have spent many hours recording these events for posterity. Ever since our Freshman year we have been saving and recording bits of interesting information concern- ing our classmates: our academic standing, our praise- worthy athletic activities, our clubs, our proms, our honors, and our foibles. Gradually we acquired a mound of fond memories which we one day planned to gather into a drama — the drama of the trans- formation of 200 adolescents into young adults. This STUDENT TICKER STAFF Each month, a delightful news- paper is published at Enfield — The Student Ticker. It contains original work in the form of short stories, poems, and student reports on national events. Dear Abby has a rival in the form of Dear Jan whose identity is unknown, but who tirelessly solves the prob- lems of a multitude of Enfield High students writing to her. The vic- tories of our triumphant football, basketball, and baseball teams are precisely reported.

This record may be triflingly glanced at and negligently set aside by the graduate, only to be picked up later when the overwhelming feeling of graduation has subsided. Years hence, however, when one of our present classmates unearths his copy of this book and muses over the events of his four years at Enfield, which we have painstakingly portrayed, perhaps he will be moved to chuckle or shed a tear. If he does, then this book will not have been com- posed in vain. students who have the unique op- portunity to practice what their in- structor teaches ig the classroom. Thus working on the Ticker stimulates the actual preparation of a newspaper-work which many of these students will be doing in the future. Business students also work in dose co-operation in the publica- tion of.the Ticker”, cutting sten- cils, and mimeographing and stap- ling the pages. The Student Ticker,” therefore, not only gives Enfield's students an opportunity to voice their own opinions and ex- press themselves creatively but also it gives certain students the oppor- tunity to engage beforehand in the mechanics of their chosen vocation. 75 Jeannette Dupuis and Barbara Brasard proudly examine latest issue of The Student Ticker. SOCIAL STUDIES In keeping with the rapidly changing events of current life, the social studies program at Enfield High is being developed to provide a well-balanced variety of courses geared to the differing needs of all students. While text books are used basically, paper-backs are used for supplementary study, thus avoiding the built-in obsolescence of relatively expensive texts. Keeping abreast of current events is important in every phase of the pro- gram. Good newspapers are practically students' constant companions. Countries are basically examined by finding their topography, economic condition, and political struc- ture and then bridging them to each other. An increasing array of challenging courses, and an increasing emphasis on individual research skills cause the student to spend many long, interesting, and informative- hours in libraries finding information. The primary girders of the department, however, rest upon the individual and his needs, rather than upon the group as a whole. The wealth of supplementary reading, filmstrips, and personal contacts made available for the student, allow him to become immersed in questions and follow them to their end, learning rather than being taught. The structural in- formation that may be learned in the social studies depart- ment can be the supporting pilaster or arch of a way of life. These arches of understanding are firmly erected and will form the bridges with which to further our education. FUTURE Today the world faces many severe problems — disease, malnutrition, and lack of economic and politi- cal stability. Too often Americans are not aware of the difficulties other nations face. A course dealing with World Problems especially in Africa, Asia and Latin America is being taught by Mr. Gross. Future is the journal compiled by these students identifying such problems, discussing what has been done in the past to overcome them, and offering possible solutions. This year's theme chosen by the editors is A World on Fire. Each student enrolled in the course submits an article dealing with some aspect of his research proj- ect. The editors review the articles and select those for publication. Future provides the students with a challenging opportunity and the editors with — a lot of work! Mr. Gross uses opaque projector to illuminate note cards. 76 Period 6, English IV, room 21. From row, left to right: Terry Mancuso, Phyllis LaRussa, Andrea Pinkul, and Mary Eddy.

HUMANITIES As we crossed the Great Bridge, we came to the arches of the humanities — English, speech, French, Latin and art. All of us in varying degrees investi- gated and crossed them. At the end of our journey we had gained the ability to express ourselves whether in English themes, French novels, Latin translations, speech, or in paintings. Passing over the first arch meant the mastery of the mechanics of grammar in English as well as our new languages. Mazes of new vocabulary words and rules awaited us. As we crossed our second arch, our confidence and proficiency grew. We then developed writing and speaking skills. In the classroom a pier was laid for the expansion of these tools outside school. To select models for our own writings and for pleasure, we carefully studied English literature, laughed at the antics of M. Jourdain, and investi- gated the writings of Caesar. Now the girders and piers were in place. The third arch provided a passage to improve our interpretation of literature. The waitings of Cicero paved the way over the Latin arch. Speech class, a pier of the humanities bridge en- abled us to form effective speaking and listening habits. Art was another means to express ourselves. By various media we transformed our abstract sentiments to tangible images. 77 Fran Typrowicz explains technique to Pat Crowley. Richard Gregorski and Mr. Benoit Conrad Kappel Richard Gregorski confers with Mr. Benoit con- cerning an answer to a problem, one of the many problems we scientists encountered in chemistry class. Our scientific abilities were somewhat hampered this year by the lack of laboratory facilities. We had the situation solved for us w'hen Suffield High School generously offered the use of their facilities until our new school was available in March. Conrad Kappel at the board tests his solution to a problem. This is a small part of a typical day in trigonometry class. Under the critical eye of Mrs. Johnson, the basic mathematical theories are put into use by the students. Although Conrad looks puzzled, he is fairly certain that his solution is correct. The class which is watching his every move will soon let him know. SOCIAL PROBLEMS One of the more interesting classes is that of Social Problems. In this class students trace the causes of many of today's critical problems of society. After much discussion of these problems, students, under the personal attention of Mrs. Bigos, ferret out the historical facts which led to these situations. Discussions are then resumed with frank and candid opinions, suggesting and evaluating solutions offered by the future citizens. 78 Mrs. Bigos and Social Problems Class F.F.A., President, Tom Lindsey with George Vasseur and Ray Kiezos Lawrence Patrick sanding bookcase in Wood Shop THE SHOPS The studies of the Metal Shop students are directed toward the various metal trades: sheet metal, bench metal, and art metal work. Thus the student has the opportun- ity to sample the various trades and select his preference. Sheet metal is involved wherever large, thin metal surfaces are required. Bench metal work includes the shaping of metals for the manufacture of metal hand tools. Such work includes the operating of lathes, drills, millers, and shapers. Art metal work in- cludes use of the non-ferrous metals. Students are encouraged to make articles of lasting value. The student pays the cost of the raw materials, and, at the close of the year, the finished product is his. The Wood Shop student learns the correct and safe use of all the machinery he will come into contact with on the Bridge of Life. He learns about the lumber reserves of our nation, their importance to each of us, and their necessary conserva- tion for future generations. There is always the opportunity to explore the realm of creativity and produce articles of lasting value. An em- phasis is placed upon such con- structions, independently of the course, for the student will not al- ways have an instructor leading him across the Bridge of Life. Upon graduation, he will traverse it alone. Vocational Agriculture is a four-year major subject. The first year serves as a general introduction to the future farmer in his chosen career. By the end of his fourth year of his studies, the student has spanned enough specific information to study technical agriculture. He will have studied basic farming skills, soil conservation, dairying, and other animal husbandry. Students maintain a project for each year, giving them a practical foundation in their chosen field. As an extra-curricular activity the boys have the Future Farmers of America club which develops a basic con- cept of leadership training. This club enters various judging contests, competing against other schools in a spring meeting at the University of Connecticut. 79 Ray Grabinski operating lathe FOOTBALL 80 BASEBALL 81 Joseph Lamana, assistant coach Carl Angelica, head coach Sonny Roach, student manager Robert Campbell, faculty manager Enfield — 48 ♦Classical — 0 Enfield — 40 Minnechaug — 0 Enfield — 22 ♦Trade — 24 Enfield — 30 Palmer — 6 ♦non-league games Enfield — 22 Ludlow — 18 Enfield — 34 Longmeadow — 12 Enfield — 42 Tantasqua — 6 Enfield — 24 South Hadley — 12 82 1st row, left to right: Bob Licitra, Terry Smith, Mike Blaney.

The football season of 1961 turned out to be a very successful one for Enfield High. The Green Raiders captured the first Suburban League title of the newly created league and became the proud owners of a gold trophy. Guard Jack Albano and halfback John Jasminski, made the League’s All-Star Team, while others were praised often by the rival coaches for their fine play. Jasminski was also well up among the scoring leaders with 54 points. Coach Angelica and the boys were in their finest SUBURBAN LEAGUE hour after a smashing 34-12 victory over arch-rival Longmeadow. This was sweet revenge for last year's loss to the Lancers. The thrilling 22-18 victory over Ludlow was another fine game, as it wasn't decided until the final minute. The only loss suffered by the Raiders was a 24-22 squeaker to non-conference foe. Trade. In that one, star halfback Doug (the grey- hound) Warner was lost for the season with a shoulder injury. John Jasminski being welcomed by ihe bench after scoring a T.D. CHAMPIONS 1961 Co-Captains Hube Santos and Terry Garstka both gave fine performances, as did most of the team. In many of the games, the rough line play spelled the diffcrence. Outweighed by 15 pounds per man, our line did a fine job against larger opponents and was the key to our success. This was certainly a banner season for the Green Raiders, especially when the unusual practice condi- tions are considered. We had no field of our own and we used a grammar school for dressing and shower facilities. Due to the double sessions, a wealth of talent from the Freshmen and Sophomores re- mained largely untapped. Some of these underclass- men were worked into the lineup, however, and performed adequately considering all factors. How- ever, these Sophomores and Freshmen have had the benefit of some varsity experience as they form the nucleus of next year's team. AND TWO EXTRA POINTS! Mr. Tatoian and Co-Captains Doug Warner, Terry Garstka, and Hube Santos. All students will report to the audi- torium for a special assembly , Mr. Tato- ian announced over the intercom. As we entered the auditorium, recently converted to a gymnasium, a gigantic box was bal- anced on the table before our curious eyes. The awards! Mr. Tatoian's congratu- lations accompanied the presentations. Each player walked to the front with the cheers and applause of the entire class echoing in his ears and proudly accepted his green jacket with the monogram Suburban League Champions . Manager Sonny” Roach came in for his share of glory as he proudly wears his jacket. Mike Blaney con- gratulates the mighty mite , who day after day during the practice sessions scurried over the field to attend the needs of the players. Even after the players had showered and left, Sonny would be in the equipment room, sorting, repairing, and storing helmets, shoes, stock- ings, pants etc. Not only was he popular with the players and coaches, but also he is highly re- garded by classmates.

Led by Captain Bob Mai ley, the Green and White posted an 8-3 record and pulled the upset of the year by nipping eventual champion Easthampton, 48-46. For his efforts that night. Bob was named player of the week by the Springfield Daily News. The turning point of the season came on the night of Feb. 2, w'hen we travelled to Easthampton. Wc- were sporting a 5-2 record, those 5 in succession, and had hopes of another upset. A cold night at the foul line, however, destroyed any championship ideas we had though. The first two games, losses by 52-42 to Agawam and 47-35 to Ludlow were spent in re orientating our- selves to the game. Due to the renovating of the gymnasium, the team had to have practice on a day- to-day basis, never knowing where or when the next practice would be. After those two losses, we came back to win six in a row before bowing to Easthamp- ton. These wins were over Palmer, 53-49; Easthamp- ton, 48-46; Ware, 63-54; Agawam, 53-44; Palmer again, 58-51; and Minnechaug, 62-34. After the Easthampton loss, we copped the last two games, 56- 94 John Mastaliscz Bob Chillson 50 over Ware and 58-50 over Ludlow to complete the season. Bob Malley emerged as the Raiders' leading scorer with 145 points in the 11 games for a 13.2 average. Bob was high scorer in six of the eleven games and hit a personal high of 21 at Agawam. Joe Javorski was second high scorer with 98 points for a 9.9 average. Joe, Denny Scudieri, Terry Smith, and Mike Blaney supplied the power under the boards while Hube Santos and Doug Warner ball-hawked on the defense. Other Seniors were Bob Chillson, high- scoring corner man. Bill Homicki, and Jack Mastalisz. The Green and White, and Coach Angelica cer- tainly deserve a lot of credit for their fine season under the very awkward conditions previously men- tioned. Many did not expect them to do half as well as they did, but spurred on by large attendance at home games, the Raiders came through. This was a team and a season to remember. In the post season game, the annual affair for the benefit of the Vo-Ag Department, the Varsity humbled the Faculty 61-42. At right, Mr. Nigro, 53 (age) jumps against Captain Bob Malley, 18 (points).

BASEBALL Last year's team was greatly handicapped from the start by limited facilities and a difficult schedule. Due to double sessions, once again our team was selected without recruitment from the Freshman and Sophomore classes. However, through the determination of a spirited team we managed to finish third in the Valley Wheel. This year's team should be quite strong due to the presence of experienced players such as: Senior batterymen. Jack Albano, Mickey Chambers and Bob Licitra; infielders, Hube Santos and Terry Garstka; and speedy outfielder, Doug Warner. Fran Typrowicz and Bob Chill- son are other Senior members to be counted on along with Jim Pelle- grini. Players needed to plug the gaps in the outfield and to lend support to the battery and infield will come from the Junior class. This year we will face strong opposition from the Valley Wheel teams, as well as from our non-conference, arch rival. East Longmeadow. With condi- tions such as these, it's difficult to be too optimistic, but we feel that the team will give a good account of itself.

Whether in vic- tor or defeat (which were few and far between) the Cheerleaders never lost their morale-boosting spirit. Not only the spirits of the team, but also those of the school as a whole were buoyed up by this effervescent group. At- tendance at this year's games were record smashing. Senior members of the Cheerleaders in- cluded Kathy Norris, Mim Blowen, Jo- anne Holmgren, Jo-Ellen Manton, Sue FitzGibbons, Sis Olschafskie, and captains Eileen Scavotto and Lynn Patrevita. 98 MAJORETTES In addition to the Cheerleaders, Enfield High is indeed fortunate to have yet another group, the Major- ettes, present at athletic activities, cheering the Green Raiders on toward victory. The group was organized just last year, but by dint of a grueling rehearsal schedule the girls have perfected their routine to a breathtaking degree. Twirling, to the beat of popular music, the Majorettes' skill with their batons are as apparent as the baseball team's skill with their bats. Senior majorettes are Andrea Pinkul, Betty Shea, Carole McGrath, Donna Mac- Nair, and head majorette, Lynne Swiatowski.
