INTRODUCTION When You Are Old “When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read and dream of the soft look, Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep; . . . 33 a A faye YAOR AS Dedication Mr. Shipulski has consistently given of himself unselfishly to help those of us who need it. His nine years of dedicated service has not gone unnoticed by those of us, the students, who could best appreciate his many kindnesses. Those of us who set up our Christmas stand will be eternally grateful to Mr. Shipulski for providing us with the lighting facilities we so sorely needed. Much of the success of our Senior Banquet can be attributed to Mr. Shipulski, due to the sound equipment he so generously provided for our enjoyment. His position as unofficial advisor and good friend has been invaluable to many. We would like to assure him that we will be back to visit, and request that he keep up the good work for the hundreds that will follow. In Memoriam JERRY BROWN We of the student body of Essex feel a deep sense of loss at the untimely death of our fellow student, Jerry Brown. His tenure was much too brief, but the impression he made was lasting. He was completely committed to Hockey and was rap- idly developing into one of the North Shore’s most promising goaltenders. He was quick to anger, and quick to forget. There was no questioning his loyalty. He established an enviable rec- ord scholastically, as well. He will be sorely missed by all those who came in contact with him. To the members of the 1971 Graduating Class: You will, in the years ahead, reflect in your every- day lives the developments in which you have been involved that have taken place during this last four year period — a period during which you have acquired an occupational background in many aspects of the agricultural industry, as well as attaining the purpose- ful goals of a high school education. During these same four years, you have had oppor- tunities not generally available to most high students in being placed in both employment and class situa- tions where it has been necessary for you to make deci- sions. This experience in making decisions, both in school and on the job, will be immensely helpful to you in the years ahead. Some of you will go directly into career employment, while others will enter the Armed Services or continue their education on a college level. Regardless of what you do, plan to continue your education in the technical aspects of your career, and take advantage of every opportunity for personal growth and development. Always remember that you have many friends here at Essex — instructors, Institute employees, classmates, and students from other classes. Certainly you must realize that in order to maintain these friendships, it will be desir- able for you to visit the Institute on frequent occasions to renew your associa- tion with instructional staff members and others with whom you have had a relationship during your student days. Keep in touch with the friends that were in school with you, and, by all means, join the Alumni Association and become an active member of this organization. This is your school — you are a member of the Essex family, and your friends want you to continue this association in the years ahead. I am sure that you have had happy and profitable days here at Essex, and this Yearbook will, in the days and years ahead, enable you to cherish these memories. This book is a precious treasure — keep it safe. I wish for each of you the fulfillment of your career aims and personal hap- piness in the years ahead. James F. Gallant ¢ Yelle, Director Congratulations to the Class of 1971 As you go out into the world to start in your various chosen careers, it is my hope to remind you that you will be a group which must “grow up” and face maturity more rapidly than your predecessors. The adult population wants you to vote while still in your teens, run for political office, and assume the responsibility of changing things for the better through your own youthful contributions. It is my hope that you will be successful and wish you the best of luck.

An Experiment in Student Government In 1971 a progressive student council was incorporated with the aid and cooperation of Mr. Potter and members of the faculty. Athletes, F.F.A. members, and class representatives comprised the student council. Apparent student unrest was brought to the attention of Mr. Potter, who motivated the students to work for an amelioration of this unrest. Counseling sessions between the student body, faculty committees, and the student council resulted in a request for smoking privileges being submitted to and granted by the Board of Trustees. The student council also became a member of the Mass. Association of Stu- dent Councils, and attended a conference devoted to high school problems. The council submits that we have perhaps the finest program and attitude in the area. 60 Future Farmers Of America Mr. D. Fletcher, W. Fletcher, B. Holmes, F. Gitschier, P. Murphy, G. Roaf, D. Atkinson, R. Melnick, S. St. Pierre, J. Neumann A Resume of Essex Chapter FFA Activities for 1971 The program for our Chapter this year was much more involved than it may have seemed to some people. During the summer the Chapter sponsored Presi- dent George Roaf’s attendance at the Chapter Im- pact Conference in Washington, D.C. Here the na- tional officers and chapter officers learn to under- stand the principles of the F.F.A. more comprehen- sively, and are prepared to come back to the Chap- ter and initiate a more involved F.F.A. program. In August Mr. Fletcher, the F.F.A. Advisor, and some of the members completely remodeled the cider and apple stand at the Topsfield Fair. Business was very good at the stand this fall, with a profit to the Chapter of about eight hundred dollars. In September, Essex sent a Livestock Judging Team to the Eastern States Exposition with Mr. R. Powell. Tom Wood, former F.F.A. Chapter Presi- dent, competed in the regional Star Farmer Award. 61 This year Essex sponsored an exchange student from Switzerland. He worked on a dairy farm in Essex County. Our chapter members played a part in the exchange student program with three stu- dents abroad, Karl Hahn, working in Germany, Richard Emery and John Acres in England. The roadside stand headed by Mr. Kelly had an- other successful year. They sold cider, fruit, vegeta- bles and preserves. Various students managed the selling of produce to the public. The National Convention, where 1200 F.F.A. peo- ple attended, was well represented by our chapter members, and we underwrote the Vice President’s expenses. Essex sent a poultry judging team consist- ing of Steve Nelson and Joe Shachook. They re- ceived a Bronze plaque. Ken Brown and Russel Emerson competed with the Meat judging team. The F.F.A. Master Budget was passed, with $12,000.00 allocated for activities in the student pro- gram. The budget has an estimated income of $13,000.00. Essex was host for the Meat judging contest, and sent our Poultry and Meat judging teams to Nor- folk. The vegetable judging team competed at the University of Massachusetts. Members included Roy Melnick, Bill Smith, Steve Janavicus and Mark Huberdeau. Mr. Emerson and his vegetable judging team of Roy Melnick, Bill Smith, Bill Simone, Mark Huber- deau and Steve Janavicus competed at the Univer- sity of Massachusetts and distinguished themselves. At Christmas time the Chapter hired Irish singers to entertain the student body and faculty, and pre- sented gifts of a humorous nature to each member of the faculty. Mr. Clark’s Horticulture Club, headed by Paul Brousseau with Bruce Thibodeau, Debbie Sargent and Steve Janavicus managed a very successful Christmas greens show, with a great number of at- tractive entries. The Sports Club engaged in a number of ski trips to New Hampshire where Mr. Yavner, Mr. Chur- chill and Mr. Geesy together with their wives, when possible, provided an interesting and exciting week- end schedule for the students involved. The Parliamentary Procedure team consisting of Chapter officers competed at Bristol Agricultural School, placed second and competed again at the State Convention where they did themselves and the school proud. Miss Kelly’s Public Speaking team, consisting of Bruce Thibodeau, Jeanne Burke and Arthur George, competed both here at Essex Agricultural and 62 Bruce Thibodeau competed at the State Convention where he placed second. The Greenhand Degree was awarded to most of the Freshman class and the Chapter Farmer degree to most of the Sophomore class. The Science Fair at the school reflected a growing concern with the environment and its problems. The outstanding award winners were presented splendid trophies. The Institute was well represented at the State Science Fair by Essex members, and they were awarded first through seventh place. Other awards that Essex members received at the State Convention were — The Bay State Farmer Degree; The Proficiency Award in Ornamental Hor- ticulture by Arthur George, and first place in Meat judging by the team consisting of Robert Carpenter, Joseph Grenier and Gary Simpson. The Plant Judging team of Paul Brousseau, George Roaf, Steve Janavicus and Dan Morrison placed third at the contest held at Suffolk Downs. The Chapter store has been operating very suc- cessfully with an inventory of over $1,200.00. On April first the Parent and Student Banquet was held. Many sports and achievement awards were granted. There will be three one hundred dollar scholar- ships offered to those students continuing their for- mal education. This summer Mr. Fletcher will be the host of an Essex sponsored horticultural tour of England, Denmark, Ireland, Germany, Holland and Switzer- land. The Essex Chapter, F.F.A., has had a busy 1971, and we hope and fully anticipate that 1972 will be bigger and better.

After a very successful beginning the soccer team was beset with personnel problems and injuries; All in all it was a mildly successful season. With a good nucleus returning and the prospect of some talented additions, next year should be an exciting one. $e Pay Se ee om f oie d Muniae tae git L” ; LO ES ere Vir Rode way Odes: taal Essex Cross-Country Coach Kramer, Zucaro, Janavicus, Atkinson The Essex Rams Cross-Country Team got off to a poor start this year losing its first five meets. The team made improvements and was able to take the next four meets, giving them a 4-5 record for the sea- son. Bill Atkinson gave them a fifth place at the Cape Ann Open this year. A voluntary summer program “jog and log” was started last year. Captain Bill Atkinson worked hard in this program. Towards the sea- son’s end this program payed off for Bill when his great effort at North Reading was six seconds short of a new record. Coach Kramer hopes that all candidates will participate in future summer programs. Two freshmen, Mike Gordon and Peter Wilkinson, did exceptionally well this year. In addition to these two boys, it is expected that sopho- mores Doug Blaisdell, Gordon Cervi- nek, Robert Daigle, John Noll, Ron Murphy, and Richard Reiser will have better times next year. The loss of Captain Bill Atkinson will be felt by all. Bill was a tireless worker and a great inspiration to the team. Tom Lafoe had a good season and record last year but will be unable to compete next year. Tom has volunteered his assistance to the team next year, however.

Playing an independent schedule the Essex Rams’ Basketeers suffered through an undistinguished but excit- ing season. The relative success of the J.V. and Freshman teams, however, augurs well for next yr. Much credit must be given to A.D. and Varsity Basketball Coach Ira Yavner and his assistants Keith Thomas and Don Glazier for their continued efforts to mold cohesive units from badly deci- mated teams.

The schedule included eighteen games with the team winning 7, losing 9 and tieing 2. There were many outstanding players on the team this year. Steve Lobb and Drew O’Connell co-captained the team. Steve was used in many positions and performed well in all of them. Drew, as in the past, provided the offensive spark on the team. Jim Mullen was the recipient of the Cole Award as the Most Valuable Player. Drew O’Connell and Gary Simpson were elected co-captains for next year. We will have a very young team next year with the loss of our seven seniors. How successful we are next year will depend on how well these young players develop and accept the leadership responsibilities of the team. This year our two goalies and entire second line were made up of freshmen and these players will provide a nucleus for next years team. Thanks go to all students, parents, and faculty members who supported the team this year. Public Speaking Team Sitting — Burke, St. Pierre Standing — Thibodeau, Advisor Kelly Not Present — A.
