Class History Sally Wojdylak, Chairman David Bliss Candace Brooks Philip Goguen Cornelia Jandris Lauren Kidder Peter Lugbauer Michael Marnane Irene St. John xmgixfu Freshman Year Timid, proud, excited, and expect- ant are adjectives which described us as we first entered Gardner High School on that fateful day. At last we were entering high school, at last we were grown up. What boundless ex- citement the mere mention of Orienta- tion Day caused. Before us stretched four years- Years that would make or break us, said Mr. Gearan who spoke to us for the first time that memorable day. Words of encourage- ment were added by Miss Saben who advised, Hitch your wagon to a star. After these inspiring talks, we were introduced to our class adviser, Mrs. Glendenning.

The cold, crisp air encouraged us to yell louder as Dube's Mighty Men including Dan Alisauskas, Don Barry, Jim Bes- sette, Pete Duprey, Ed Fitzgerald, and Ronnie and Richie Sabulis scored an- other touchdown. By the end of the season we had experienced many sore throats and hoarse voices from cheer- ing the boys on to a record of seven wins and a lone loss. While the football players were swinging their weight around, the Held hockey players were swinging their sticks. Pam Dubzinski, Sue Koski, Irene St. John, Sally Wojdylak, and Eileen Blanchard contributed to its re- cord of three wins, one loss and one tie With the approach of winter came , -,
