Annette Waller receives Nancy Hartung's ability to chat constant- Ly. The swivel hips of Raelene Herlihey are left to Joyce Stevens. Mary Newhall bequeaths her extreme loquaciousness to Jean Jaff- arian. All of Diane Levesque's car troubles go to any underclassmen who drive to school. Elaine Frechette gives the back seat of the bus to Marcia Tho- mas. For Marie Frasca's collection, Debbie Mudge donates her late slips. Estelle Levesque leaves to Norma Spring her blushing bashful- ness, and hopes she will use it in the right places. Barbara Sanborn and Emily Stiles have collectively left their corny jokes, beautiful smiles, and ability to get along with the teachers to Janet Paradise. Betty Janvrin leaves her bushy eyebrows to any underclassman who needs them. The privilege of riding in Miss Reid's sports car is given by Arlene King to Charlene Burbine. Betty Walters leaves her petite figure to any girl or girls ona reducing diet. Sandra Winchester receives Cynthia Ross' way with the boys. To Marie Odette, Dene Creighton leaves her mascara and flut- tering eyes. Shirley Chatwood leaves allher extra brains and hard work to Andrea Taylor. Her bad te mper, Caroline Tillson kindly bestowes on Jackie Marc- hand, Hoping they will get along with the driver, Betty Morris thought- fully leaves her seat on the Ramsey Bus. In witness whereof, we the senior class of 1961, of the Essex County Homemaking School have set our hand and seal to this will. 29 GIRLS’ CLASS PROPHECY It certainly doesn't seem possible that twenty years had passed since I graduated from Essex County Homemaking School. Hereit was, June, 1981 and I had been cho- sen along with one other person to take a survey of the dietary work of the various hospitals in this area. This survey was to include the Schools specializing in home economics. When chosen for the project, I naturally hoped it would mean visiting my Alma Mater. It had been years since I had been able to goto Hathorne, due to my heavy duties as head dietician at the local hospital in Newburyport. When the day arrived for me to meet my co-worker, I was pleasantly surprised to see Mrs. Peter Farnum whom limmediately recognizedas one of my fellow class- mates, Barbara Sanborn. Of course we began toreminisce about our school days and to talk about our lives since we left each other on graduati on day. Barbara has suc- cessfully combined marriage anda career. She manages the dietary work at the Lawrence General Hospital as well as a beautiful home in Middleton. On our way to our first stop, which was the Bon Secour Hospital, we had a mar- velous opportunity todiscuss some of our other classmates. To my surprise, I learned that Emily Stiles is the candidate for congress from. Essex County. Betty Janvrin, who is also active in politics, has been installed as National President of the Womans Club. During our chat, I realized that Barbara has done a better job of keeping in touch with our classmates than I. She told me that Betty Walters, better known as Little Betty'' was an understudy for Marilyn Monroe ina Hollywood production. Speaking of Hollywood, that reminds me of Arlene King, who is John Robert Powers most popular model. I saw her picture in the paper just the other day. Nancy Har- tung is, of course, America's leading 'Lonely Hearts ' columnist. Our classmate, Shirley Chatwood is an author of mystery stories of the ''Ellery Queen type. At the hospital we were taken on a tour of the facilities. Going through the out- patient Department, Irecognized the lady being escorted out, Estelle Levesque. I went over and shook her hand and spoke to her, but she didn't answer me. The nurse informed me that she hada serious case of laryngitis. Her profession was speaking - Public Speaking. She always was a great talker. After the hospital tour, we went downtown for lunch. Before going into the res- taurant we ran into Elaine Frechette who was shopping for material. Elaine has avery successful custom dressmaking business in Salem. We invited her to join us for lunch but she declined due to another appointment she had. However, we did have an opportunity to chat for afew minutes. She said Mary Newhall and De- borah Mudge own their own beauty and reducing salon. The salon was just around the corner, SO we went over and visited them. We were rather amused to find out that Cynthia Rossa well-known comedian at a near by play-house. Carol Rand is happy and contented working as a hairdresser for her mortician husband. Carolyn Tillson is ahousewife with four children living in Florida where her husband is in charge of an alligator farm. Debbie also told us, that she often sees Diane Le- vesque and Dene Creighton at meetings for cosmetologists. They own the Diane and Dene ' Shoppe on Newbury Street in Boston. Ralene Herelihy has become a rich and successful business woman since she developed a new hair tint. It has made Ralene well over a million dollars. In notime at all it was three o'clock and we had to leave. We drove to Bar- bara's home where we greeted her five active and healthy children. While driving back to Newburyport, I thought of my eventful day. How won- derful it was to see so marily of my classmates andto hear of the others. How- ever; I was glad to be home with my husband, Bill McPhee and three children. Elizabeth Morris 30 BOYS’ CLASS WILL We, the CLASS OF 1961, believing that we are of sound mind and body do hereby leave the following advice to our beloved underclassmen: In promulgating your esoteric cogitations or articulating your superficial sentimentalities and amicable or philosophical observations, beware of the platitudinour ponderosity.

This is something I have longed to do, I think I'll take a peek at all the kids I graduated with from Essex Aggie in 1961. Wow, you couldn't beat that witha stick. Walt Hohmann is the owner of a very profitable milk plant, and Tim White and his five children work for him. I see that Bob Dennis has his own farm in Massachusetts; he calls it Vermont Acres, just for memories sake. Bob spends most of his time down the road a piece at Mr. Walsh's fabulous new race track. There's amarriage going on at that quaint little church. Well, look at that, it's Lorene Lambert and she's getting married to Leo (Tiger) Cormier. Let's see if I know anyone else who is floating around downthere. That's Bob Flowers and he's coming out of the kitchen with his masterpiece, a cake. Who is that in front of the church? Oh! It's Dick MacKenzie peddling artificial flowers. I see that both of the Shinns, William and Ed, have a dog pound full of Mexican Chihuahuas. They call their place the ''Tall and Taller Kennels. Looks like Joan O'Neill is at it again. She is running against Al Bleau for National President of the F. F. A. Mr. Dave Townley is campaigning for Joan as usual. Lee Craig, Herb Huson and Frank Warner are living like kings down there. They're partners in the largest bowling establishment and Liquor Lounge in New England. Hmmmmm!!!.....I1see Nick Ricci isa motorcycle cop and he has just stopped Neal Mitchell for speeding. Tsk! Tsk! Toward the West Coast, Isee Tom Carrow's orange grove, and Dennis Ford and Pete Gibney are picking and packing the fruit. That sign looks familiar, Five Fingers Auto Service, Dick Pilotte and Frank Staples, proprietors. Speaking of Autos, that reminds me of John Tremblay's motor scooter business that folded up. He sold out to Bill Brown who is going to make an Auto Body shop. Dave Dulong and Dale Flynn had a construction outfit, and they hired boys from the Aggie; that's probably why it folded up. Richard Olsen was their foreman and is now seeking employment at Bob McCarron's run down pansy house. I see Phil O'Connor is running a matrimony agency. I can still remem- ber how Phil used to slay the girls. Walt Kelley and Pete Bergendahl are still trying to finish up the finances on our ''1961'' yearbook, They have been at it for 15 years. Tom Braciska achieved his goal; he's dean of the classy Ubangy Tech.; and Charlie (Who needs school) Newhook heads the board of Trustees. Roger and Gerald Soucy have gone into the classic comic book business. They call their corporation ''Soucy and Soucy . Pete Gibbon and Paul MacAdams have gone into farming together and what do you think they call their farm? You guessed it, Sherry Acres. Steve Rosenthal owns a liquor store, and what a set up. Bruce (Moose) Dearborn stays outside and lets the people sample their products. When they get inebraited, Bruce sends them inside and Ralph Cahalane sells them the merchandise for a slightly tremendous profit. Ernie Daniels is now Educational Manager of the Aggie, and Mr. White has moved upto director. Mr. Gallant has retired and become a member of the board of Trustees. Mr. White is having a little trouble with Mr. Tim Jennings who is the director of Bristol Aggie. I see that they have built a new shopping center. Roland Martin owns a sporting goods store featuring skiing equipment, and Dick Watts owns a speed track at which he wins all the prizes. 33 The only thing wrong with the shopping center is that a stubborn farmer by the name of James Wood would not sell his farm. It's the only farm that 10,000 people daily go around to get to a 10¢ store. Well, I guess I'll be getting back to my favorite job of sleeping. I can honestly say it has been a real pleasure seeing and hearing about my old class- mates from the great class of 61 .

Think Big It has been 10 years since the first class of 1961 has graduated from the Distributive Education course. Walter Kelley decided to come back to the school for a visit. He found that Mr. John Paul Manning, the presiding instructor, is now financially unbalanced. While most of his students are now quite successful, most of them now own their own business, Walter was tel- ling him about the latest luncheonthat the executivesheld. They meetevery Friday noonfor lunch at the corner of Dunn and Brad Street. Neal Mitchell has just bought 50 head of thoroughbred race horses for $21,000 a head. He owns the finest stable in Kentucky and is a strong competitor to Calumet farms. Roland Martin is now president of the R. and M. food distributors, andis supplying First National with 85% of their Fine Foods. Dave Dulong is owner of Double D. Treeservice. Hejust lost a big job at Disey- land to Dale Flynn, who also owns one of the biggest tree companies in the U.S. Ed Shinn re- cently bought a new estate where he is still raising horses as a hobby, he is located right next to Doug MacDonald's greenhouses. Doug owns a Series of greenhouses which he calls Old Mac- Donald's Greenhouses. He has 15 acres under glass. Bill Brown is the District Parts Manager and Parts Trouble Shooter for all Ford Agen- cies inthe New England area. He recently sold Mr. Manning a 1949 Ford but, sad to say had to reclaim it because there were no payments made. Pete Bergendahl has opened up a greenhouse and garden supply center at the northshore Shopping Center. The words out that Breck's is going out of business. It's too bad that Richard Olsen and Dick Watts had a runin. It seems that Mr. Olsen Spent much time and money putting in a lawn for Mr. Manning. Then Mr. Watts came with his oil truck and one of his poor workers spilt oil all over the new lawn which killed most of the grass. It's no wonder that Richard Olsen and Dick Watts never got paidfor the oil or the lawn. (Too bad boys.) Miss Lambert now owns her own greenhouse, and this year she is in charge of the Annual Flower Show in Boston, 44 SENIOR BANQUET 5 - Sey en hd eae ee : fe age oy e . 2. ® 45 VARSITY FOOTBALL First Row left to right: G.

Dearborn, Mr. Potter. Under the leadership and direction of coach Potter, and assistant coach Powell, the boys began their second year in 11 man football. After the previous years experience in learning the tricks of the trade of 11 man, the squad was expected todo well. Despite the terrific odds of a slow start and the loss of several good players, due toinjuries, the squad made as formidable a team as any in the league. The coaches worked constantly and diligently to teach the boys their new assignments. The rough spots of the first few days began to smooth out and the 11 boys on the starting team be- gan to step, block and run together. This being only the second year of 11 man ball, inexperience was a handicap which can only be overcome through time and playing games. The boys gave their all at every game but only came out of the battle with one win and six losses. This is of no ac- count because Aggie teams have proven over the years that they can do a job, and do a good one. Let's look for the golden days of autumn in the bright year of 1961. Thanks to the seniors - Bruce Dearborn, Dave Dulong, Pete Jones, Neal Mitchell, Phil O'Connor, Nick Ricci, Bill Shinn, Tim White, James Wood, Walt Hohman, and John Perkins, You will be missed next year but we know that your fight, spirit and leadership will brush off on the underclassmen. Thanks to the underclassmen team for a job well done in 1960 and a request that you try your best in 1961. Essex we cheer thy name, thy honor to proclaim. 48 : 8 ot sa oe - CROSS COUNTRY TEAM First Row: N. Halford, P. Scott, R. Nordstrom, J. Lambert, B, O'Loughlin, D. Waye. Second Row: J. Teeling, T.

Cross Country is a sport which requires a different type of athelete. I have played in other sports, but never have I participated in a sport which requires so much endurance as does Cross Country. It is the most trying of all sports, for many times during a race the runner is in- clined to quit; but due to some inner force, he continues running the race that at times might total three miles, This exhausting, body building sport engagesinthe use of every muscle in his entire body. However, even with the persistence of the boys and the marvelous coaching rendered by Mr. Deacon, the boys failed to win very many meets, losing all but one; but at the Cape Ann Meet they managed a fourth place out of seven teamscompeting. It must be noted though, that this years team consisted mainly of Freshmen and Sophomores, and that if these same boys stick with track for the next few years, it is evident that Essex Aggie will turn out the best team in Cape Ann Lea- gue history. From the 1960, Roadsters retired, Bleau and Martin, wish the team of 61 the best of luck. 50 HOCKEY TEAM Back row L. to R.: (Coach) Perry; R. Nihan; R. Chuchill; F. Portras; R. Tilton; R. Clinton; M.

Even though we lost some good players last graduation, we came back this year with an excellent first line. The first line, all seniors, will be hard to lose come graduation, but our second line leaves many fine prospectsfor nextyear. In this respect, Coach Perry was wise in using a balance of first and second line players in games and practices to give them much valuable experience. We saw a bright future for the Team this year as we learned that Leonard Perry, former Lynn English Hockey player and post-graduate of the Aggie wasto be the newCoach. With a strik- ing background and interest in sports, Coach Perry attracted the confidence of the Team imme- diately. One of Coach Perry's first achievements was the acquirement of financial help from the F.F.A., inthe form of over $500.00 for insurance and equipment, the largest amount ever given the Hockey Team, showing the advance of Hockey as a major sport at Essex. With this in mind, it gave the Team a Tremendous morale booster. This, however, was not all that the Coach accomplished; he did a superb job of coaching, managing, and scheduling the Team through our three month period and is even now lining up games for next year. We won our first game with the second line playing against Lynn Atlantics followed by two wins against Amesbury anda tie with Gordon Divinity. The last game was lost to Gordon Divinity. Special praise goes to Dick Kelley, the winner of thisyears JAMES M. COLE MEMORIAL AWARD; also to Bob Garrant, Dave Otis, Ed Sheehan, and Frank Quinn. Our thanks to Coach Perry and good luck to next years Team. =¥| ge TU VARSITY BASKETBALL L. to R.-D. Townley, S. Rosenthal (Managers), W. Shinn; B. Dearborn; L. Craig; B. Buchanan; P. O'Connor; N. Mitchel; W. Gagnan; T. White; A. Bleau; L. Campbell. BASKETBALL The 1961 Basketball Season was the best Essex Aggie has ever had in league competition. However, only due to thepersistent effort of Coach Ray Potter and the hard work of seven boys who were sincerely out to win and willing to follow the instructions of a truly great coach were we able to win. Furthermore, victory would have been impossible if we had not had the wholehearted sup- port of Dave Townley and Steve Rosenthal, and the whole student body who had supported us even in the deepest moments of despair. The team went off to a slow start loosing 7 out of their first 8 games, winning only over Masconomet. However, the games were very close, and I personally believe that if we had had a regulation gym and played half of our games at home that the standings would have shown Essex Sweeping the league. Consequently, we played with a handicap all year. The second half the Essex boys worked more as a team and took better advantage of their six-foot three and six-foot five tall men. That half we managed a 6 for 8 record as compared to a one for eight record during the first half. We finished with a seven and nine record making us eligible for the Bay State Tournament where we were defeated by one point by Matigon H. S. The Basketball team of 1960-61 sincerely wishes to send their appreciation to Dave Town- ley and Steve Rosenthal, who as managers, were deeply concerned with the welfare of the team and to coach Ray Potter, and to the student body who stood by us so faithfully. From Bruce Dearborn, Bill Shinn, Phil O'Connor, Neil Mitchel, and Al Bleau comes all the success in the world to the team of 1961-62. GOOD LUCK FELLAS 52 JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL L. to R.: S.

In early February we were honored by avisit from all the National F.F.A. Officers. Our Parent and Son banquet celebrating their visit was attended by far the largest number parents ev- er to come to one of these events. Each National Officer gave a brief talk during the entertainment part of the program. Their talks were outstanding in interest and were greatly appreciated by all. Our Essex Chapter exhibit competed with other chapter exhibits at the state F.F.A. Ass'n meeting at the University and it was unanimously selected by the judges as the exhibit which should represent Mass, at the 1960 National Convention in Kansas City, Mo. The September 1960 Topsfield Fair was dedicated to the Essex Chapter F.F.A. In keeping with this the students of the Essex Chapter operated a Chedder Cheese booth for the United Farmers of New England Inc. An income of $186 was realized for our chapter treasury as well as tremendous public relations. Mr. Goodno, Advisor of our Forestry club, conducted contests in wood sawing, wood chopping and log rolling for F. F. A. teams at Topsfield Fair. The Essex teams took several top honors in these contests. In mid September, the Essex chapter was host to six Future Farmers of the Philippines, in- cluding Antonio Onia, President of their 12,000 members. At our annual master budget meeting in November, the members voted expenditures for our thirteen committees and ten clubs totaling $3188.76 for our fiscal year 1960-61. To offset this ex- penditure the budget showed an estimated income of $3,875.80, giving a profit of $687.04. At the Parliamentary Procedure Contest held at the Officers Training School for Eastern Mass, Chapters, our officers won by a substantial margin, thus qualifying them to compete in the state final contest at the University of Massachusetts in April. In early December the Vegetable Judging and Vegetable Insect and Disease Identification team of Essex Chapter travelled to Participate inthe national contest of the National Junior Vegetable Growers Association. Out of 250 individuals on 75 teams our team placed third in the Nation and as individuals, 6th, 7th, and 11th. An outstanding Charitable service was rendered by the Essex Chapter in September with the purchase of a pure bred Holstein heifer with calf for $400. The heifer was donated to the Heifers for Hope project to be sent to a farmer in West Germany. The farmers were to be refugees from Communist Controlled East Germany. 58 ESSEX CHAPTER F.F.A.

Santa (Carol Rand) gave a joke present to all the faculty, housekeepers, and janitors. There were presents for the girls and carols were sung. Mr. John Barnes, representative of the Wearever Company, demon- strated various methods of using Wearever Cooking utensils, in January. His demonstration in- cluded the waterless method of cooking vegetables and how to bake a cake on top of a gas stove. A skating party was held in February at the Meadows, in Danvers. F.H.A. hireda bus to take them there. Everyone enjoyed the ups and downs , and some skated for the first time. Isn't that right, Miss Smith? In March, F.H.A. talent show was a great hit among the girls. The different acts included Singing, dancing and comedy. The Easter Hat show was a smash hit, in April. The girls really have a knack for decorat- ing hats. Remember that hat? The closing of F. H. A. affairs at Essex Aggie will be held this June.
