Gould Academy - Academy Herald Yearbook (Bethel, ME)

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1970 volume:

We, the Seniors of the class of 1970 respectfully commemorate the Academy Herald to Jerrold Gibbs, whose courage, concern and cheerfulness we will never forget. We the class of 1970 dedicate the Academy Herald to the chil- dren of today with the hope that their work to create peace in the world will be made easier by our efforts of today so that we all might achieve a better world. 3 Winter It’s winter And the pattern of the sky Broken, gray, shattered glass With a filigree of tree tops, high Reaching as if drowning Beneath the flowing snow. The light When breaking through gray Masses, pushes a white gold Wash of light to softly play On the winter white houses Shuttered green with kitchen smoke. The cold Makes the noses of red cheeked Children krinkle and penetrates The feathers of chickadees beaked Black with frozen peanut butter smears Who fly in splintering cold air. The power Of sacredness manifests again Cathedral stillness in «rose Flushes across the snow plain And beyond the finite realm of snow Cold intrenched to await the dawn. by Sue Hatch photographed by Joel Underwood 5 Richard J.

Tassel Riley and Judy Jenness have just stolen the padlock from the ice cream room. Gail has now settled down to listen to records. Judy darted off to attend the weekly Alcoholics Anonymous meet- ing being held in Vikki Lohnes and Lorene Loh- mans' room. Nancy and Jane Haslun, Barb Parks and Tricia Devlin are staggering back from their latest party, LATE for the meeting. Holly Tucker is visiting Micki’s pharmacy where Betsy lies sleeping on the floor. Bonnie is singing in her room quite unaffected by all the other people who are speeding around. Wendy Ault and Susie Pierce are in the alley bathroom discussing, while Bart waits in Susie’s bed. In the next room of the alley Short-eye is go- ing cra-azy trying to escape Aimee’s goodnight kiss, and Renetta is in hysterics on the floor watching the chase. Sandy Stuart and Janis Ruben, looking gorgeous as usual, are cheering on the boys who are running across the athletic field. Chris Foley is trying out the art of OGGING. Stephanie Bailey and Sarah Runyon are running around squirting everyone with whipped cream from their squirt guns. From Creteau and Vance's room, we get the sweet smell of incense wafting into the hall. Janie was just admitted to the room in the attempt to keep them from yelling out the window at anyone who happens to be out setting firecrackers or what- ever. Robin McKinley just jumped off her desk after kissing Tom Jones good night. Crutch Stone is waking everyone in the dorm (guess it’s only Carol Monk that could actually be asleep) by walking down the hall. Thud, clomp, thud clomp. Bobbin Robin is speeding down the hall in search of Vance, Meg, Pacem, .... Meg and Pacem are actually sitting in their room, totally naive to the whereabouts of any night visitors. They can’t imagine who might be in their room at this time of night, it’s quite crowded al- ready with Witt and Stunzi in the closets. One up, across the hall, Barb and Pat are keeping Miss Swift grooving to the sound of “You keep me hanging on.” Jose is still looking for Judy Sears' Hips. Judy herself has just finished the second hour she’s spent in preparing herself to look gorgeous for to- morrow. In the Buttroom we find Marcy and Judy having a “discussion” as Vicci Drake and Val cheer them on. Richie hasn’t been seen for awhile. Perhaps she’s sleeping with her horse. Janis Jabar and Amy Ruben would be giving Sue Hatch a headache with their noise except that Sue and Stephie Stokes are downstairs putting a mustache on Marian True Gehring. Mary Ligon is in bed, though we're not quite sure whose bed she’s in. Isabella and Rosa are talking Spanish in the hall, accompanied by Patsy Dobell's record player. The proctors in this dorm must be really going to pot! Jenny Pitcher is waiting by the phone for who- ever-it-is-this-week to call. Gayle Hall is watching the T.V., it’s only the test pattern, but never mind. Top row, left to right: Judy Sears, Wendy Ault, Tricia Devlin,- Vicci Drake.

On the floor: Shorty Thomas, Renetta Nobles, Betsy Sikes, Missy Hatch, Aimee DesRoches, Rosa Flores, Sarah Runyon, Kathy Grange, Angela Pendle- ton, Isabella Conessa. Brigitte is playing the guitar, quiety, but it doesn't matter since Kim Siebert and Linda Bunker are being thrown in the shower by Kathy Grange?! .... and Nancy Smith. Jean Mawhinney is sitting around in Sue Hatch and Susie Pierce's room waiting for them to come back so she can sit around for a while longer just when they want to go to bed. Missy and Gella are into a thought and rap session in their room. Glad to see someone is both- ering to think. Jennie Stephenson, Mary Howell and Hildy Jobe are in Hildy and Jennie’s room apparently grooving on each other. This is good. Mrs. Parks has split for the weekend and Joe keeps having to lock doors that somehow blow open. It’s just another quiet night in Gehring Hall. Wendy Ault 72 Susie Pierce 70 Sue Hatch 70 .. '■r ■ .

Only one more final to make out. Then a game of pool with Lowell. He’s been up cramming for thirty hours and ought to be easy to beat. Oh, Oh, there's the door. Come in! What's the matter Steve ? Your desk and your telephone credit card are missing? Ask Brock, he’s your roommate. He’s missing too? Well, good luck Steve. Where was I? Oh, Yes, European Final. Now who’s that at the door? Come in Weir. Sure, I’ll cover the dorm for you while you have your teeth pulled. Excuse me, there’s the phone, Hello? Oh, Hi, Mr. Bige- low. You need a guide for a candidate? Who do you want? Bart? He’s gone to Gehring to pick up his laundry. Winter is picking up litter at the top of Sunday River, along with Atwood, and Hamre. Strachan? I haven’t seen him all week, check the girls' dorm. Sorry, Sam. Obie is in the projection booth, Reinhart is working on a day-glo glaze and Phipps just vanished into thin air. Doug Bailey is playing basketball in the street with Jack and Charlie. Rochester and Shugrue signed out for track practice. Oh, I see, there isn’t any track practice today. Jim Austin couldn’t show anyone around with cast on his leg. Stunzi? He’s cleaning his room. When I last saw Ogg he was looking for his school keys. No, Joel isn’t around. He’s gone to look for Saywell. Jon is somewhere in his room. Merz is in the cellar washroom taping acid rock. Nolan is in the infirmary. He’s okay, just the pressure of finals. Aldrich is on the other phone making a local call. Palange is in Freshman Brook looking for muskrats and Tri- umpho is on the bank watching. Yes, Dave Robinson would be a good guide, but he’s camping out on the Kitchen hill. Fairburn is practicing his hook shot in the upstairs hall and Harper is waiting at Gehring. Cummings and Butler have gone trout fishing. Greg Frazier? Two minutes ago he was hiding from Sandy Thomas. Something about her 45 records. Hin- man is buying groceries for this evening ses- sion. Von Luternow is watching the ball game. Cope came by a minute ago muttering some- thing about persistent girls. He didn’t stop to talk. St. Pierre is trimming Heckenkamp’s flowing locks and Erhard is waiting patiently. George is complaining about the mess Teddy is making. Andy Wright is asking Mr. Myers about a dorm room for the summer. Jennings, MacAdam and Kirk Barnes are pressing their coveralls for the next Tennis team picture. Doug Shaw is asleep on his bed with his English as- signment under his head. John Grimes is in the street plaguing Doug Bailey. Lavigne is in front of the T.V. asking Fritz if he’d rather watch cartoons. Larry Bright is requesting that each of them read a book and stop their bicker- ing. Treworgy is in the library, as usual. Sir- jane is in the art cottage. Reel is helping Un- derwood look for Saywell. Yes, Dave Brown is usually around, but he has a conference with Mr. Grover right now. Alec? He’s watching Palange look for the muskrat. Baxter is taking a nap, yes, that’s true, he sleeps with his Sugarloaf Corp. Stocks under his pillow. It doesn’t look too profitable for the guide service today, Sam. Who? No, Michael is driving a bulldozer for Barr and Barr. What’s that? The candidate has looked for himself and likes it? Good. See you later. That’s finished, back to the final.

SKI TEAM The boys’ ski team of 1970 had quite an impressive season, i could go on bragging about the team and all its successes, but the record speaks for itself. At the first meet with Mt. Blue, Gould won in all four events. Dan Baxter tied in the slalom with a Mt. Blue skier; John Lowell was second, and Curty Cole was fifth. Bart Bailey was second in jumping, Jeff Winter, third, and Curty Cole was fifth again. The giant slalom had remarkable results. John Atwood was second, Bart, third, Jeff Strachan, fourth, Jeff Winter, fifth, Curty, sixth, and Dan Baxter, eighth. Bart won the cross- country race with Emil finishing in second place. The final overall score was Gould 292.42 and Mt. Blue 287.20. The Nordic team’s Coach McGuire introduced a relay cross-country race into the team’s schedule and this was held one sunny day on the Bethel Inn Golf Course. Our Gould team was divided into four teams. A Team (Lowell, Bailey, Winter), B Team (DesRoches, Martin, Atwood), C Team (Dave Sirjane, Dave Hamre, Shaw), D Team (Kliman, Strachan, Crathern). Gould’s A Team took third. Out of 72 racers Emil Winter got seventh and Bart got eighth. The whole Gould team met Kennett High School again with most outstanding results. In giant slalom, we had first, second, and fifth (Lowell, Bailey, and Strachan). Bart won the jumping with John Lowell right there in second place and Curt with a big fourth. We outshone them in cross country, too. Bart got second, Emil was fourth, Lowell was fifth, and Atwood was eighth. Gould really became distinguished after it com- peted in the state and New England AA High School and Prep School Meets. Of all the six top ski teams in the State of Maine, Gould placed second in the State AA Championships. Our scoring records in this meet were just as impressive as they had been all season even with the tougher competition from Ed- ward Little High School. The giant slalom was held at Sugarloaf one breezy day. Bart got second, Atwood, fourth, and Curt, fifth. The slalom, held at Farming- ton, ended with Bart getting fifth, Atwood, seventh, Lowell, eighth, Emil, tenth, and Baxter, eleventh. In jumping we got fifth and eighth with Curty and Bart representing us there. And finally in the cross-coun- try race, Bart ran in with seventh, Lowell with eleventh, and Emil with fourteenth. We ended up in the second place, quite an honorable position, and one of our men, Bart, was in second place for skimeister. Then, during February 21, 22, the team presented itself at the Middlebury College Bowl for the Eastern Prep School Championships. There were 18 teams there and Gould placed third overall. There were 90 racers in the meet. The first event was the giant sla- lom. John Lowell came in tenth, Bart, twelfth, and John Atwood, sixteenth. In cross country Bart came in twelfth and Emil twenty-eighth. In jumping Lowell made fifth, Emil, seventh, and Bart eighth. The com- petition for the skimeister award was tough but Gould had Lowell in second place for it and Bailey in third. The New England Interscholastic meet was held in Lyndonville, Vermont. Of the nine teams there Gould finished fourth place. One of the most amazing features of the whole meet concerning Gould was how our skiers placed for the skimeister award. Gould men held third, fifth, and seventh. The final meet was the State Prep School Meet held here at Sunday River. This we also won with Cole, first, Emil, third, Bart, fourth, and Lowell, sixth, in jumping. Bart won the cross country; Lowell got eighth. In the giant slalom, Bailey won third, Lowell, fourth, Strachan, fifth, and Atwood, seventh. Flash Lowell won the slalom; Bart won third, Atwood fourth, and Baxter eighth. Bart won the title of skimeister, the second year around for Bart. The Alpine team’s Coach Barth and the Nordic team’s Coach McGuire were invaluable to the teams. McGuire’s nose for choosing wax and Barth’s for show- ing guys which way to ski between flags helped Gould immeasurably in producing one of the best ski teams anywhere.

Dave Hamre at a disciplinary meeting .. Nancy Creteau anywhere ................... Barbara Parks •A VALEDICTORY Members of the Board of Trustees, parents, faculty, friends and fellow classmates. The vale- dictory speech has traditionally been a farewell ad- dress and a warning to the graduating class con- cerning what evils and opportunities the big wide world holds. Today I would like to address not only my classmates or not only the remainder of the school, but everyone who is present here from a six-year-old little sister to the oldest grandparent or trustee. I don’t want to tell my classmates to be- ware of the big world; I believe that most of us have been and are there, that Gould has not been for us an isolated island irrelevant to what life is concerned with. I’d like to question everyone about what they are taking with them when they leave a slightly secure world for a very insecure one. I want to touch upon a brain wave somewhere and try to make you think about what elements of personality and intelligence you carry with you. I'd like to make you all consider whether you’re really alive, whether the world you’re in or going into is a place in which you can reach your fullest human capabilities. Please consider whether you’re not destroying your body, year after year, by letting it sit, short- winded and weak. Many of you haven’t felt good physically for so long that you’ve forgotten what it’s like to glow under the strength of your own muscles. This applies for us who are young as well. Are you doing anything with the senses, faculties and strengths which you possess, or are you just existing, not using the powers which are your own. And what about your ability to feel and to care? How can anyone consider himself a loving, feeling person if he cuts off the capabilities to care by hat- ing people he doesn't even know or understand, nor does he try to understand; instead the fear of some- thing unknown festers into ugly and hideous hate. Don't disregard this as not applying to you, each of us you—us. I have a prejudice against people who don't use their intelligence, and I would guess that not one of us is free from some limitation of feeling. Look at your children, and we, look at our parents and people of their generation. Don’t we resent each other; don't we resist understanding to rebel; don't we fear the ways of thinking and the ways of life we don’t understand? Are we killing the capabilities of our minds by shutting out people and issues we don’t want to bother with or that we fear? Today, America is no longer swathed in a golden dream; revolution is pending and the Ameri- can dream can easily crumble into debris of sky- scrapers, twisted flesh, smoldering forests and suf- focated rivers. I'd like to pose a few questions which I continually turn in my head. You who are revolting, you militants in my class who want to tear everything down, please consider what a revolution is. It’s ugly, bloody, hard and cruel. It's not an easy or fun thing full of campfires, marching and singing. Look at any revolution of the people, the French, the Chinese, the Russians. People died not from the noble death of a National Guardsman's bullet, but from starvation and ex- haustion. And then when it’s all gone, when all your sisters and brothers have been killed, your dreams exhausted, do you have anything concrete to put up? Can we build something better? But wait, before you tear me down as a narrow- minded reactionary, I'd like to turn to the conserva- tives. What are you thinking when vou fear the violence of youth? Or do you think? What is it that you're hanging on to? Is the great American dream of equality and opportunity for all still alive? I question whether it ever was alive. Do you fear your children or do you hate the militants, the long hairs, the people who dress differently or are col- ored differently? Fear and hate are usually the same thing. What is it you are hating or fearing? Have you tried to understand? Do you realize the injustices and the misplaced values of our society? For what purpose do you collect money and cars and more money at the sacrifice of your own soul? Someone has to be stepped on for you to get ahead, for what worth? You fear a revolution because of what you have worked hard to collect, but is it necessary to have two TV sets? Does this make you a better person, a more compassionate, alive person? I realize that you've worked hard for these things; you've sacri- ficed much to give to your children and I'm not trying to say that we’re all ungrateful; but as I said to my own parents, I am thankful for food, for clothes, for my sewing machine, for being sent to Gould, but so much more important to me are what they have tried to impart to my character. The fact that I try to think, and feel and be alive, I can never thank them enough for giving me. So I ask you to question within yourselves, what is it that I feel when I see a long-haired kid or when I see a businessman? Have all of us given everyone a chance? I reject people when they don’t think, but they just as easily reject me for my long skirts, my headbands, the outward characteristics which we often don't see beyond and actually are about as important as how long one grows his fingernails. You who fear the use of marijuana because of what you were taught about ghetto kids smoking reefers and shooting heroin, have you looked into it beyond those stories or even tried it? You, or us, who resent the patience and respon- sibility our parents live under and deem as virtues, we should consider that our own mothers may have been peace marchers for the Second World War and that they’re human like us. Everyone is different, yet we do not have to alienate each other through unconcern and mis- understanding. I like to be alone a lot but only so that I can take hold of myself and appreciate more what a marvelous thing it is that we were made as community beings who have the capabilities to think and feel within ourselves and with each other. Perhaps all these things have been said to you before, perhaps you didn't listen to me today, but I wanted to try, to try to show myself and everyone else that youth is thinking and feeling. Every one of us needs to keep from wasting part of himself; everyone must try to be as much alive as possible. If you listened, I'm glad; if you'll remember, think about and do something with what I’ve said, I'm reassured that the human race is a family I'm happy to belong in; I’m given hope that America can be the dream it was intended to be. We are leaving school for a slightly different way of life. I'm not the same as I was when I first came to Gould as a freshman, nor will I even be the same after a summer of living by myself. Everything changes. Many of my classmates and I will be slightly empty for a while because we’re leaving a huge part of what has made our char- acters. It has been hard and happy, hell and heaven. I hope we’ll become the kind of people who are alive to everyone and everything. Peace, to you each, to your family, to the na- tion, and to the world. —Susan Hatch PEACE
