Benjamin C. L. Sander MR. BENJAMIN C. L. SANDER, the very familiar mathematics teacher in Room 26, has certainly been a good friend and mentor to all of us. He has ably helped and organized many drives, and he has been the faculty advisor on many committees. His Senior Play Ticket Committee sold more tickets than ever equaled before. The Class of 1956 Wishes to dedicate its yearbook to lVIr. Sander because he has done so much and has been so loyal. The Senior Class also Wishes to thank MR. LOUIS A. CLOUGH, who generously gave us his time and skills as Class Photographer. For the many hours volunteered on our behalf, We salute you, Mr. Clough. nl l I MR. RALPH A.

Patty became a victim of polio and had to be in an iron lung at the Franklin County Public Hospital and later at the Boston Childrenls Hospital. While in Boston, Patty, through her own determination, was able to partially overcome the paralysis. At home, Patty has been able to attend school by means of the school,s new Mintercomf, This apparatus is made up of two telephones, one of which is placed in Patty's home and the other is placed in the appropriate classroom. By this Hintercomll Patty can become a member of any class in session. At Mike Sokoloskyls Christmas vacation party everyone was certainly pleased to see Patty. She happily surprised everyone by her amazing recovery. Patty, the class is behind you in all that you undertake throughout life. Good luck and good wishes!

T om Budrewlcz HI-Y HIGHLIGHTS Even before the start of the school year, Hi-Y officers met and decided to carry on the usual Hi-Y traditional policies. Therefore, with the opening of school Hi-Y was organized and ready for action. The programs at meetings, under the direction of Bob Howe, were set up with a month,s program consisting of business meeting two speakers, and a club outing. The first subject on the agenda was football prof grams, and through the guidance of Dana lVlilnes and Dick Duprey, the Hi-Y made enough money to sponsor two football movies for the C.H.S. football squad. Secondly the Hi-Y sponsored a Student Loan Fund Dance with the proceeds of 850 given to the Student Loan. In December Bob Howe and Bay Creek represented the group at the Older Boys, Conference in Providence. Also, basketball programs were Sold by Hi-Y members. ln January Bay Creek and Tom Lukow attended a gathering at Northhampton as representatives. January also saw the addition of five sophomores to the club, making the total membership 25. ln February the group worked with other YN groups on a Carnival of Fun. ln March Jim Lyman was Selected as General Chairman for the Commencement Dance. April brought about a car wash and polish under the direction of Walt Lindell and Don Brown. Also the Hi-Y divided into four teams and competed on a large paper drive. The Commencement Dance was in May and June saw the presentation of the annual Benjamin L. Sander 3125 scholarship to one of the outstanding seniors. The successful Hi-Y year was guided through by ,lohn Card, who deserves a lot of praise for his work as advisor. 1 ' CQASCAMK7' Nine girls were chosen during spring tryouts to be Greenfield High Schoolfs twirlers.

FOOTBALL HIGHLIGHTS OF 1955 IN REVIEW Let's take a look at some of the outstanding highlights, great moments, and fine players of the 1955 edition of Ump Nicholsis and Stan Benjamin's football team. Even before the opening kickoff, the Green Wave knew that they were facing one of the roughest schedules in Greenfieldys history because of the newly formed Western Mass. Conference. There wasn't one breather listed on the schedule so a trio of leaders consisting of Tom Budrewicz, Bill Martin, and Butch Peters were picked as Co-captains to guide the experienced squad. Here is the varsity lineup. With a Mr. Outside and Mr. Inside combination of Stan Scott and Tom Budrewicz re- spectively, working with shifty Al Lacross on the wing under the ball handling of Earl '4Butch Peters, the Greenies had a backfield which could have gone places on their own, but add a veteran line composed of left tackle Al Swinerton, center Jim Lyman, right guard Bill Martin, and right tackle Bob Howe with rugged juniors such as left end Herb Peters, left guard Buster Kuchieski, and right end Harry Rudduck and theyire in the ruhning. This line dynamited openings right and left for the back- field express as the Greenies really got moving by beating Springfield Tech in the opener 25-0 in a Monday afternoon game. The game of games was played with Cathedral in one of the roughest, wildest games ever played at Veterans Memorial Field. Out-sized, but not out-skilled, the Green Wave lost the thriller 32-26 in a battle which decided the Western Mass. Championship. Stan Scott, an All-Western Mass. selection, took the opening kickoff of the second half on his own goal line, and with outstanding blocking by determined teammates he raced down the field for the touchdown. JuSt 'IO pr0Ve that the first run wasn't lucky, Scotty took a later kickoff on his own ten, and danced ninety yards to paydirt. ff M ff,,, X Stan Scott 177j on outside sweep. Other G.H.S. players in white are: Bill Martin 117l. Tom Budrewicz 1595, Buster Kuchie- ski 1621. Al Lacross 1181. Co-captain Tom Budrewicz showed why he was later selected on the All- American High School Football Team by his spirit. drive. and constant pounding of the Cathedral defense for the extra yards. Lineman like Bob Howe, Bill Martin. and Al Swinerton were at their best on defense and deserved a lot of praise for their unsung hero work in this game and all games who along with Bud created havoc with every offensive that they faced, A 68-yard pass from Butch Peters to Al Lacross for a touchdown was another of the great moments enjoyed. and spirited onward by the cheer- leaders and fans who knew that although the Green Wave lost. they had not given up in spirit and drive for one second and that's what is important and typical of the fine football teams produced by Ump Nichols and Stan Benjamin. A 155 yards in penalties. and the concussion of Butch Peters. besides a Monday heat wave resulted in a dismal day for the Greenies at Northampton. but the Nichplsmen had enough experience to win 20-7 with the winner's scoring all done in the first quarter. Guard Bill Martin showed his versatility by stepping into the backfield for a couple of nice runs. and was chosen to the second team All-West. Mass. for this all around playing ability. Be- cause of Peterls injuryi Lou Bush. Jr.. took over the quarterback spot. and got his first real baptism of fire against a varsity foe. Another headache was that this Saturday rained out game. and two others had to be re-scheduled so that these short weeks with a lack of rest in between games resulted in hard won victories over supposedly weak teams. A perfect pass-lateral play from Bush to Lacross to Scott for a 49-yard touchdown highlighted the C.H.S. win over Westfield 13-0 in a recent flooded Westfield. Fighting Bobby Howe recovered the fumbles as usual. All through the season if there were a fumble. Howie was there to pounce on it. lt got to be quite a habit of Bobbie's. His sturdy defensive work was awarded by honorable mention for All-Western Mass. In a seesaw battle at Holyoke the Green Wave could not get to the Holyoke one on more than one occasion. but no further. except for one Budrewicz smash. A safety for G.H.S. came from heads up football from the defense. making the final score 9-0 Tap Town over Paper City. j-fi '4 f.., .A ' 4 A . ,LV I'O'XI BUDREWICZ AL SWINERTON BUSTER KUCHIESKI BUTCH PETERS BOB HOWE JIM LYMAN AL LACROSS BILL MARTIN Greenfield had fun. all year. making Major Hoople eat his predic- tions in the Springfield Union. but he predicted the win over West Springfield right on the nose. 19-13, ,lim Lyman's perfect center- ing. all year. and fine blocking in this game were a couple of reasons why ,lim was honorable mention for All-Western Mass. About the :Xgawam game. Jim Fox of the RECORDER GAZETTE said Exploding for the first time since the Cathedral game. the. Greenfield High School team trampled Agawam into the sawdust sea of Vets Field 35-20 Saturday to clinch its sixth win in seven starts. A beautiful Butch Peters to Herb Peters pass was caught in pro style by Herbie. a second team All-Western Mass. Pick. who romped 20 yards for a TD. With Butch Peters fully recovered from his head injury. Greenfield looked like a championship team. Even sophomores John Sak and -Stan Rogalski got into the running act, and the rugged G.H.S. line mowed down the Brownies providing the backfield with a lot of elbow room. Al Swinerton had another field day on defense. handling the center linesmen with authority. After tying Cathedral the previous week. unbeaten Chicopee moved into Greenfield with a chance of being Co-Western Mass. Champs. but the tremendous determination of every Greenfield player resulted in a I3-0 victory for G.H.S. in a tense duel of strength played in a snow storm with two inches of snow underfoot. The RECORDER GAZETTE's sports writer Jim Fox phrased it this way: Taking to sudden November snow like Rocky Mountain goats. the Green- field High Football team clinched its right to be ranked besides the very good outfits in the school's history Saturday with a thoroughly convincing I3-0 victory over unbeaten Chicopeef' Although snowing hard.

This gave Greenfield second place in the Western Mass. Conference behind Cathedral who had beaten Greenfield earlier by a touchdown. and Chicopee dropped to third place on account of this loss to Greenfield. This gave G.H.S. a 7-1 league record while Cathedral ended as Western Mass. Champs with a 5-0-1 record. Rain cancelled two of Cathedral's other games. On Thanksgiving Day the G.H.S. turkey really strutted in the sun. For the first time in five years. the annual Turkey Day game was played under excellent weather conditions. and the sunny day was used to demonstrate the techniques of the polished Green Wave as they completed a 8-1 record with a second half swamping of Turners Falls 33-14. Turners out-played the Nicholsmen in the first half holding the Green and White to a 14-7 lead. Turners big moment came when Andy Mosca took a kickoff on his own 25. and went all the way to score. Thatis all the Indians have to remember. but Greenfield had a barrelful of talent. and under the cool. slick quarterbacking of Co-Captain Butch Peters the team stole the turkey for the sixth year in a row. won another Buddy Guy Trophy. and took a scalp or two. As usual. Co-Captain Tom Budrewicz led the team up and down the field with his smashing runs and constant bulldozing. Al Lacross did some more fancy running through left tackle. Stan Scott was at his best. scoring three times to win the Western Mass. Scoring Crown. Scotty was everywhere: snaring passes. running around the ends for the long yardage, not to mention his work as pass defender. Dick Provost who had been a defensive leader and pass defender. all year. plucked a T. F. pass out of the air on Turners' 42. and raced back to the lndians' 18 to set up another Greenie score. Also Senior John Cenzano helped stop the Turners march more than once. He showed the spirited determination of the Green Wave by getting his share of tackles on or behind the scrimmage line. Another Senior reserve. Al Targatta looked good defensively. The experienced Greenfield line went on a rampage in the second half. and really gave the backs a boost with fine blocking and tackling. Many of the players showed for the last time how excellent high school football should be played. After the victory showers were in store for Stan Benjamin, line coach Ralph Sanderson. and trainer Red Crouse. Another chapter in Greenfield High football came to a close with a Rotary banquet with presentations of gold footballs. letters. and numerals as a climax to Stan Benjamin's and Ump Nichols's 1955 football edition.

Stan, along with Fran Brissette, was the most potent rehounder of the G.H.S. cage team.

Although Fran had a medium season scorewise, he provided the G.ll.S. cagcrs with many important rehounds and passes. ff 2? The C.H.S. ball club on the whole lacked height this year. This prevented the Greenies from being able to participate in the WCStC1'H Massachusetts Tournament. The Greenies reached one goal this year: this being the defeat of Holyoke. The G.H.S. cagers were well coached by Dan Dyer, one of the most competent coaches in Weste1'n Mass. Dan, on the whole thought that the club did well, even though they lacked the height. Here's hoping that the Greenie's enjoy a better season next year. DAVE MACK--Dave, though limited to action this season, showed much potential ability in the few games in which he played. Dave played a sparkling game against Tech. HERB PETERS-Herb proved to be a valuable asset in the latter games. Herb, a well-built fellow, might prove to be a cog in the G.H.S. offense in future years. BUSTER KUCHESKI-Buster with his driving lay-up shots, has sparked a number of games this year. Buster has enjoyed a good season and should be a star of the future. TED SCOTT-Although Ted has seen little action to date, he has shown great potentiality as a set shooter and ball handler. PETE SLAHETKA-Peter has been a spark in the Greenie games. Although he is a comparatively small man, he is the fiery type ball player, who should have a great deal to do with the Greenie's success next year. PAUL OZDARSKI-Paul is a sophomore, recently moved up from the J.V.'s. He is of good size and should prove valuable against the opposition's rebounders in future years. He is also an excellent shot. 2 Witli Stan Benjamin starting his eighth year as coach of the Greenfield High School baseball squad, the squad hopes to enjoy a successful season. From last yearis starting nine, only four veterans are returning: infielders Bill Pedigree and Stann Scott, and outfieldelrs Butch Peters and Bob Gauthier. Expected to handle the pitching duties are Pedigree, Scott, and newcomer, Lou Bush, Jr. Sophomore Bob Findlay will probably take over the catching chores. Lou Bush, Jr., when not pitching, will be at shortstop. John Delmaro, a junior, will be on hand as a versatile utility infielder. Besides the regular Valley League schedule, Greenfield will play Athol, Orange, Hopkins Academy, and Springfield Technical. Practice games will probably be scheduled with lVlt. Hermon and Deer- field Academy. These games coupled with the independent games will in- sure that Greenfield will be ready for the Valley League games. No matter what the final outcome of the season play, Greenfield fans are sure to see plenty of fast, smart, aggressive baseball from the 1956 edition of the Greenies. 7emu2z After the winter blizzards blow themselves out and the cold snows begin to melt, the G.H.S. tennis team moves into the gym girding for its battle in the Valley League tennis competition. Any person that happens to be in the school on an early spring evening hears the bouncing of the tennis balls off the gym wall, but when the team moves outdoors, their work and effort for G.H.S. becomes more and more noticed and thought about, culminating in the presentation of the school letters in June. Under the expert direction of coach Ray Spencer, the G.H.S. team plays two or three times a week in all Valley League towns and also travel to Athol, Easthampton, Springfield, Brattleboro, and Deerfield Academy. ln the course of the season all games are replayed at Beacon Field. The 1956 season sees the return of varsity lettermen A1 Swinerton, Paul lVlcDonald, and Bob Thompson. Also there is the addition of Juniors, Deane Avery, Tom Kelly, Bon Cole, Robert Alex, and Paul Fontaine. The only sophomore is Bill Sands. The most experienced veteran is A1 Swinerton, who is completing his third year of varsity tennis. He is the only senior on the team, and has proved to be a leader and outstanding player on the 1956 G.H.S. tennis team. Bob Thompson, a cool-headed junior, deserves a lot of praise in his second year of varsity competition for his fine play, spirit, and determination in making the ,56 season successful. Paul McDonald, the third returning letterman, is an excellent player and was a threat to the best Valley tennis players. 622713 Pairs ckfdl XHYSSYU AUHH Steiner, Arlene Siano, Sandra Holmquist, Ellen Crosby, Bertha Majewski, Ruby HC ance, Jerry Punch, Judy Roberts, Judy Rice, Eleanor Schmidt, Judy Robinson, Beverly Cokely, Dolores Volpe, Helene Pinksee.

KAREN ALBERTI Editor-in-Chief CLASS STORY by El. NINE PALIX flood afternoon. ladies and gentlemen. This is your radio announcer. Mary Experiences. broad- casting from Station PAST. Today will be presented for your entertainment t'Sehool Daze. the story of the Class of 1956 of flreenfit-ld. Nlass. This story describes the long trek from kinder- garten through grade twelve. a trip covering long years filled with many happy memories and experiences. The Class of 1956 seemed to be destined from the xery beginning to have lots and lots of fun. How true this was! There was never a :lull moment. It's hard to understand how any of the members managed to get an education. Nevertheless. they did. lt could have been their Yankee ingenuity! lvell. letis take a look into the past and see just what happened during those fabulous days in the Greenfield school system. Dear radio audience. we're now in Bingville. U. S. A.. at the good 'ole Abercrombie School. Square dances provided the pupils their first taste of social life. The fun really started by playing '4What Time ls lt, Mr. Fox? and by listening lover and over again! to the i'Boy Captive of Old Deerfield. she refuses to deny that had the very had habit had to stay after school upon eating because she Abercrombie Hallelujah!! Conway Street School shenanigans such as the was eating classmates paste. Why, To this day Patty Prest knows the name of every single lndian. and the story was interesting. Also. Sis Kniskern, a little lndian herself. of pulling chairs out from under people. Consequently. she frequently with her head on her desk. Not to be outdone, Pam McCahan insisted Miss Sternherg even made little Pammie land we mean little!! cry, the taxpayers out of house and home. Finally came the day when the became wheels, because at last they were going to school upstreet. was also the site of many good times. How could it help but be with following: Every morning a clean fingernails inspection would take place. Lorraine Pydych would hastily clean her nails with a sharp object, such as a pencil point. You know the rest of that story. However, a taller tale we have yet to unfold. Rosalie Twirp Maleno's dog used to go to school every day. He came so often that he even got a report card, and wouldn't you know-he got higher marks than '4Twirp ! He was on the honor roll! Two of Twirp's friends, Sue Babcock and Princy Birt, also started their famous careers at good 'ole Conway Street. As could be expected, they were the quietest members of the class. They were so quiet that one day the teacher taped Princy's mouth and tied Su-Su to her chair so she couldn't turn around. They were, honestly, any teacher's delight! Helen Fotopolus, another member of this zany group, loved to see rainy days come, because all the boys would chase her with nice, wriggling worms. Helen also loved to recite poems at the Memorial Day Programs. We can't leave Conway Street School, however, without mentioning the class dreamboat, Louie Togneri. The day he cut his tongue on the fence, all the girls went home crying. Anyhow, such was life in those days!! Now let's take a look at the Federal Street School activities. In kindergarten, there were many fights over the numerous dolls and doll carriages. Participating in most of the squabbles were ,lanet Mosher, Maureen McDonald, Bev Hurlburt, Jackie Brown and Leslie Reed. Yes. Leslie also had terrific fights with Theresa Pratt to settle who was the taller and to determine who wore the larger dress and shoe. lf Leslie got really angry, she would send Theresa a note which read Meet me outside at 3:30. Terry never missed the chance, but they still remained friends, that is, until the next fight. When Mary Gail Burns came to Federal Street, she was the envy of every girl, because she had the prettiest and the longest pigtails. Everyone wanted some just like hers. However, all M.C.'s feminine charm couldn't snare Billy Pedigree for her. He was a woman hater! Billy, incidentally, was the captain of the baseball team and a darn good one at that. As we ramble on, we see Polly Piper in the first week of school. She was a bit confused when the teacher called her Pauline, She would just ignore the teacher. When Polly found out her real name. everything went much more smoothly. Polly's name was also on the blackboard most of the time, because she was constantly being late for school. Another of Polly's classmates, 6'Barrel Cenzano was quite a heavy eater in his younger ? days. He was like the rest of his pals. One day he took a box of graham crackers from his teacher's closet. They sure were lush. Food wasn't the only thing that they thought of, however. In the sixth grade Jeannie Martin made her debut, and the boys really went crazy over her!! Charlotte Sinclair was also in demand. For the gala event of the year Charlotte reigned as May Queen. To mix things up a little bit at the Mayday ceremony Pete Bungay went out and got hit by a car. so he wouldn't have to dance. Mike Sokolosky was angry, because it didn't happen to him. There was also a '4mad dash for Pete when the girls went on a better-mannered boys campaign. The boys wouldn't speak to him, but, oh, those gals ! Well, next we find ourselves at' Four Corners School. Ronny Brown was a rough and ready fighter in the sand-boxes. The janitor was forever complaining about all the sand he had to clean up every day. Ralph Daniels, however, was a little more quiet. He loved the smell of his teacher's perfume. One day, when Ralph was naughty, the teacher put a handful of perfume on his face. Ralph certainly was the sweetest smelling boy, ever! Paul Kemp, who wasn't in- terested in such things, hated to march around the room. 'Can you imagine? That was always so much fun! So was teaching school. Terry Szupbroski really thought she yas a !'wheel when she was allowed to take over the third grade. She found much to the delight of the children. that she wasn't a very good disciplinarian. Once, in kindergarten Nancy Charron cried all after- noon, because she had spilled her bottle of milk on the floor. The year after that, Nancy Dahowski was late to school the first day, and Flint Berry cried and cried. because his mother had left him. Poor Flint! Emotions also ran high when Aim Griesback was playing initial tag one day. She was caught and had to sit in the wastebasket for a forfeit. When recess was over, she found that she was stuck! Tugging, standing. and pulling wouldn't help. Was her face red! Ronny Richardson, who painted the town red. began his career as an artist at Four Corners. He usually ended with more paint on the floor, his friends, and himself than on the picture. As long as the color red is mentioned, we can't forget the gigantic red bows Barbara Hobson used to wear in her hair. They were so cute. The following must also be added to the list of episodes at Four Corners. Snooky Smith often displayed her musical talents at the teachers' programs. Donna Waterman and Video Smiley rendered their famous tap dances. Speaking of Video, one could certainly say that she was a cowboy enthusiast. She wouldn't come to school unless she was wearing a Roy Rogers shirt. Gene Autry boots, Red Rider socks, and a Hopalong Cassidy hat. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Jinnny Lyman chased all the girls and pulled their hair. At that time 'fToshie Rogalski hated him. '!Toshie was the answer to every boy's prayer with her long Corkscrew curls. Dickie Rist, who wasn't interested in girls. then. was a delinquent and loved to put tacks on the teacher's chair. He was also punished, as was Marilyn Blassberg. She was naughty quite often and had to kneel in front of the pipes and say her prayers. Finally, this ucrewi' reached sixth grade. There was a big race for May Queen between Snooky Smith and Toshie Rogalski. As it was a tie, the teacher called poor, sick f'Doe Waterman and asked her for whom she wanted to vote. Snooky', was the winner, and L5Toshie crowned her rival. Everyone was pleased! Green River School was also a place of happy incidents. ln kindergarten, Maryanne Sadowski and 'fButch Peters cried for their mothers but soon recovered. About that time, Judy Robinson was forever receiving gold stars for being good in class. and Tommy Musiak and Martha Shibilo were always winning the first prize for Be Kind to Animals Week. Then after school Barb Ripka and Shirlce Siano would slide down the banisters just for excitement. Fire Drills were really exciting things too, Tommy, 'LButch, Helene Pinksce, Janice Carter, Steve Staheleek, Velma Conroy, and Pauline Digrano used to line up, ready to dart out the door. There were many such incidents as these. Tools Laskoski was in an embarrassing situation once during a Memorial Day Assembly. As she began to give a page-long speech to the ll.A.R. representative, she lost her voice. Finally, she quickly gave the woman the flag and ran down the stairs to her seat. In the fifth grade the New Green River School was completed, and everyone was so proud to be the first to use it. That was the year that Al Swinerton had his memorable birthday party. Eddie Bristol chased all the girls on his new bicycle, and Toppy llonzck had his whole head dunked while he was bobbing for apples. Maryanne and Sally Lukow were also dunkcd at the class picnic at Highland Park. That occasion will always be remembered! Sally and Mary- anne sank a boat in the middle of the pond and then went down with their ship. Sally amused everyone later by swinging in the trees. That's Sally for you! In the sixth grade AV, Swinerton made Patty O'Neil cry by pulling a chair out from underneath her. Naughty !'Swinny ! That same year the history class adjourned to the woods. While everyone was diligently studying, Toppy could be found catching forty winks of sleep under a nice, shady tree. lncidentally, it mustn't be forgotten that 'fButchie was the captain of the baseball team. Now let's take a little trip to Holy Trinity School. Joan Roy was so scared the first day of school that she just ran home. Sandra Arnold bragged that she was the only one that didr1't cry, but her friends claim they know better. As soon as everyone began to like school and to get acquainted, Snooky Roberts began to have many parties. She mustive been preparing for the future. 'LSnooky, also nicknamed Eleanor Schmidt, 'gSchmigo.', 1t's stuck ever since. ln the third grade Peggy O'Neil used to have a terrific time with arithmetic problems, but she always felt better after having a piece of cake at the convent after school. While Peggy was having the cake, Bernie Buteau was stealing the show. He was always a great performer in the Beacon Lights. During the presentation of t'Old King Cole,', Bernie left his fiddle home. However, to save disappointing his parents, he was allowed to go on stage and hold the king's robe. His stage career thus ended. As this group moved into the higher grades, things began to happen! Sandy Twyon, Joe Powers, Jimmy Drumgool, Snooky Roberts, Bobby Gauthier, and '6Chickie,' Palin, were allowed to go into the cloak room to sort test papers and such things. Everyone is still sorta wondering just what did go on. Sometimes John Bowe wondered, especially when a certain teacher said to him, Bowe, woe and betide you if 1 come down there. He then behavedg he didn't want to take the chance. Likewise, discipline also controlled Nancy Hanley and Marilyn Ross, who were always mortified because they had to walk in the patrol lines. They felt foolish, but, oh, they were surely safe! Carl Couture was never quite sure. He will never forget the day that the splinters of a ruler went flying. He was washing the blackboards and decided to play catch with one of his friends. The sponge went flying through the air, landed on a desk, and smudged the ink on four examination papers. Oh, that was a grand day! Jim Drumgool was always the class Romeo and every girl's idea of a perfect man. Once during a spelling bee Liz Perry fainted, and who do you suppose were the young gallants who picked her up? Lancelot Drumgool and Galahad Brissette, of course. These two young knights were also the stars of the seventh and eighth grade baseball teams. In the seventh grade five ambitious damsels de- cided they would try their luck in the culinary arts. Nancy Charron, became an expert potato peeler. Chickie Palin did to meat what never had been done before, Peggy 0'Neil set a real cool table. Marie Wallner made lush pudding with Jello Instant, and Snooky Roberts was official dishwasher. By the way, she hasn't washed one since! The project was a success. The days at Holy Trinity ended with the graduation dance and banquet. Jim Drumgool and Sandy Twyon started their careers as orators at this banquet, and Chief-tieu Palin and Sonny LaCross entertained with uYou're Just in l.ove.'i tln the original production, f'Sonny bad his lipstick on crooked! Ah lrlall At the dance, Nlarie Wallner was the center of attraction with a beautiful dress of white dotted swiss over blue, i'Wow ! There was always something exciting going on at Newton Street School. lt's interesting to note that in the first grade Stan Scott lost a fight, When Stan became a 'Lmanf' however. he made up for it. Fights weren't the only source of entertainment though, At recess 'iKing of the Mountain was played, and, of course, square dancing was enjoyed by all. Carole Weiss well remembers the teacher who had a tuning fork which she used if anyone-'s mind wandered. lncidentally, this seemed to happen quite often. Une year no one spoke to Marion Hammond and Judi Bartlett, because they were the only ones who got i'S's in self-control. Everyone else got L'l's.,' Something must've happened to that self-control along the way. As was said before, some- thing exciting was always in the making. ln the fourth grade some of the girls put on a candy- cane dance. They were all dressed in crepe-paper skirts and earried-you guessed it-candy canes. They certainly were cute. Dotty Peters was one of these famous dancers. The wide assort- ment of talent made a big minstrel show in the fifth grade possible. David Willis could never be forgotten as the grand emo:-e. liev Robbins gave her rendition of Forever and Ever, and Judi and Marion also performed. Carolyn Ruddock. however, was the star as she promenaded across the stage, dressed in an old-fashioned costume. She carried a white parasol over her shoulder, and sang Cruising Down the River. Her performance was uspectacularf' but definitely! Sixth grade brought forth the production of ul-leitlifi HSP' was cast as the lead. Others taking part were Hob Moore as Peter. Nlarion as Fraulein, Judi as Bridget, and Ellen Anderson as Clara. These actors and actresses were also in the social whirl. Sin was a great one for romance and for parties. She was forever writing love notes, and at her parties her guests played such games as uSpin the Bottle and Charge ! t0h. for those good ,ole days.l Finally, the Newton Street activities came to a close as the whole class made a trip to Springfield. They visited Forest Park and two museums. Patil Kemp remembers the lecture at the planetarium. All he got from it was a stiff neck. lncidentally. the trip was all the more wonderful, because it was a school day. At last, but not least, we visit North Parish School. Xlany riotous times were held there. How could it be quiet with such girls as Karen Alberti. i'Princy llirt. Shirfee Bush, Helen Fotopolus, Joanne Hastings, Martha McCoy, Pat Collins and g'Twirp Nlaleno? They used to bury their heads in the snow and hibernate all recess. If they weren't doing that, they were being thrown down the banking by the boys. The girls not only came back into school from recess wet, dirty. scratched, and bumped but also their clothes were ripped. They were any mother's delight. ln the spring, however, they only stole wormy crab apples and threw them at each other. tThey were such sweet little ladiesll Ronny Richardson was such a gentleman! He made a big hit with one of his teachers by breaking her glass flower holder. As the teacher was very angry, he didn't confess until the end of the year. fly that time she had forgotten it. Pretty tricky! Martha McCoy was also a sly one. She always brought her roller skates to school, because she loved to skate at recess. She didn't forget the pillow either. During the fifth grade, classes were held at the high school. L'Princy llirt and Shirlee flush not only disrupted the high school schedule by running around and getting lost but also made snow-girls on the high school lawn. They were learning-conscious, however. After one of the teachers had finished explaining some work, she would say, 'iDoes anyone besides Helen, have any questions?,' Helen was always so eager to learn! These brilliant girls mentioned before used their bicycles as horses. lJoanne, incidentally, had 'LChampion.'il They tied ropes to the handle bars as reins, and whoever used the handle bars was 'LChicken.,' They would pretend that the curbs were cliffs and would see whose horse Could jump the highest. tAnd they talk about the modern generationll Love also was ablooin. and Bobby Pryzby was the class heart-throbf' Everyone was so jealous of HTwirp, because Bobby paid attention to her by blowing down her neck through straws. How romantic! Well, that closes the elementary school days from Abercrombie to North Parish. For the ex- citing experiences of junior high school stay tuned while we have a station break and hear a word from our sponsor. There will now be a short pause, and, if you listen closely, you will hear the gurgle of a soothing, refreshing Coke. tThis is a commercial.J Well, good afternoon again, all you udashingu ladies and gentlemen. tThat Coke certainly was refreshing! lf you tuned in late, this is Mary Experiences of Station PAST. Today we're presenting USchool Daze, story of the Class of 1956. The story left off at the end of the sixth grade. The class has advanced to a new rung on the education ladder. They're now in Junior High School. The mystery of changing classes was certainly confusing. After a while, however, everyone became used to it. That didn't mean they settled down though. That was an impossibility, but Mr. Johnson tried hard enough. Judy Baller. especially, had the most difficult time when she tried to learn all the states and their capitals. Phyllis Jule struggled for hours as she tried to teach Judy. Mr. Johnson proved to be a lot of fun though. One day he took one of his groups to Colrain Mountain for a picnic. tHe looked so funny wearing bermudasll Some of his students who went were Carolyn Ruddock, Marion Hammond, 4'T0shie Rogalski, David Willis, and Arlene Siano. Jeanne Martin, one of the smartest in another group, was also allowed to go. What a time they had! Dates started this year. Pammie would always meet her friend in front of the movie theater every Saturday afternoon. This was just the greatest Thursday was the big night out for everyone who went to Richardsoifs dancing classes. The youths were growing up? Nevertheless, there was culture amidst all this. Judy Robinson was the envy of everyone in art classes. No one could understand how she did it. Then. eighth grade started off with a bang. You were nobody if you didn't carry a water pistol, and sometimes you weren't if you did. Soon after. more mature antics were shown. The eighth grade dance saw the figures of 'LSu-Su and Shirlee sweeping up confetti, which they had thrown over the balcony a few minutes before. This dance was really great, because the dead- line to go home was eleven o'cloek. Can you imagine? Nobody had ever stayed out that late before. On the contrary. Jeanne and Pam were the gadabouts.,' As they rode around town in Miss Blake-'s old car. they were the envy of everyone. They even went down to her house and visited her every noon. They planned to buy the hotrod. but somehow they never got around to do so. Theirs was a money problem, but Leslie Reed had a problem of height. Everytime she wanted a drink of water. Ellie Lemay would have to go out with Leslie and lift her up. That's what they said. at any rate. There was also a serious side to schoolflfrench class. Many tears were shed in that dreaded Boom 2. Everyone enjoyed singing French songs, especially the boys. You could often find Tommy Xlusiak forming the words of Savey-vous plantez les chouxu with his lips but never uttering a sound. Guess he was bashful, then! Of course, no day was complete without seeing Shirlee Bush slide down the banisters or seeing Jimmy Lyman in the office. Finally. came ninth grade, and the students became g'wheels. Bob Pryzby was president of Student Council. and Shirlee was secretary. The pupils from Holy Trinity were also welcomed. This was the year everyone went crazy. Every noon there was a football game between the girls and the boys. Jeanne was captain, and Barrel was their manager. That wasn't alll Around the big maple tree in the front you could always see a group of zombies, led by Sally Lukow. There was also a big craze for spacemen. Taking their rocket ships to the moon were Video, Su-Suf' Princy, Helen, Shirlee, Bobby Pryzby, Dickie Rist, and Toppy Bonzek. tNow you know how f'Video got her name.l Very often you could see these clowns running around and disintegrating everyone. incidentally, they're still perfecting their rocket ship which will take them to Nlars. Meanwhile. Mr. Pryzby had the opportunity to display his intellect in class. One day he was asked what pi tfft was. He brilliantly answered that it was a mixture of flour, water, shortening, and some kind of fruit baked at 3000 F. A few days later the results were attained. and everyone had a delicious piece of pi tffl. lt then took two hours for Shirlee, Bobby, Helen, and Toppy to wash dishes. It sorta makes ya' wonder! This was also the year that all the girls came to school with green, red, and blond hair. The results came from food coloring, inercurochronie, and peroxide. Beal fetching young ladies, especially for the big social event of the year. This was the Class llance. As usual, Mr. Johnson's games were hilarious. t llarty harlnl For entertainment a play was presented and starred Jimmy Drumgool, Pam Mc- Cahan, 'LSnooky Roberts, and Bernie Buteau. They gave a tremendous performance and were a success. There was also the great trip to Weymouth with Mr. Jonclunas and Miss Hutchinson. Judy, Sally, '5Mitzi, Toppy, Bobby, and Jinnny, to mention a few, will never forget it. About this time the trumpeteers announced with great gusto the Pageant celebrating the 200th anni- vcrsary of Greenfield. It was held at Beacon Field, and just about everyone took part. The lrish colleens-Mary Gail, Donna, Doe, Jeanne, Snooky, Toshic, ASLI-Su, and Sally---were cer- tainly a hit and as cute as could be. The end of the year came with the selection of Mary Coil, Shirlee, and Margie as Cheerleaders. They were so proud, and so were their classmates. The Class of 1956 was now to begin their high school education. You can b'c sure that this friendly and fun-loving group could never be anything but a success. A brief intermission will now take place as we hear a word from our sponsor, and the station takes a break. tKindly amuse yourselves by biting your nails, twiddling your thumbs, humming a song, or doing some such thing.l Broadcast resumes. Ladies and gentlemen, as you know this is Mary Experiences presenting the story of the Class of 1956. As was said before, the students were ready to begin their high school education. ln September, 1953, the scared but excited sophomores entered the immortal portals of C.H.S. When the teachers saw, or rather heard, the class coming, the instructors actually wondered to what this world was coming. From that day on, this unforgettable class became the subject of many dis- cussions, here and there. How the girls loved to laugh, and how the boys loved to make noise! Being sophomores, however, gave them a somewhat legitimate excuse. Within a short time, how- ever, the class found time to think about class officers. Those elected were Butch Peters, presidentg Sue Babcock, vice presidentg Arlene Siano, secretaryg and Jimmy Drumgool, treasurer. Elected to serve on the Student Council were Sue Babcock, Barb Edes, Elaine Palin, Bobby Pryzby, Marilyn Smith, John Cenzano, and Pat Griffin. Their political year certainly started off with a bangl Next came their first chance to make money. This was the Basketball Dance, and financially it was a success. The 'CC-reen Theater Players, under the direction of Miss Congdon, was initiated that year. They profited only in experience, however. They put on two tremendous performances in assembly and were certainly a hit with everyone. When some assemblies weren't quite as interesting, Home Room 11 would entertain by presenting a barnyard act. Moos, oinks, barks, meows, arfs, and neighs could distinctly be heard. Mr. Watt was very patient and would say, L'People, you've got to settle down. How right he was! Then there were various sports. They were always an interesting aspect in any class's life, and this one did not prove to be an exception. The Class of 1956 was well represented on the football team with such players as Bobby Howe, Sonny LaCross, Bill Martin, 'iA1 Swinerton, .lim Lyman, and Stan Scott. Butchie Peters proved to be the man of the hour .as he very ably substituted as first- stringer quarterback. The class had every reason to be proud of him. ln basketball, Stan Scott saw a lot of action as the varsity player. Not to be outdone, Schmigo, 'iSi,,, Mitzi, Sue, and Patty O'Neil were very active in Junior Varsity basketball. That year cannot come to a close, however, without mentioning Da Book written by Shirlee Bush and Sue Babcock, of course! Its fame spread through the high school, and Mr. Sander enjoyed it more than anyone else. Junior year suddenly came. The class weren't wheels as yet, but at least they were under- classmen. It surely was a great feeling! There was almost complete petticoat rule as Arlene Siano was elected class vice presidentg Sally Lukow, secretary, and Joan Barrett, treasurer. Tommy Musiak emerged triumphantly as president, and a very good one. Also added to Student Council were Judi Bartlett and Rodney Rice. After a Htremendousi' football season in which Tom Budrewicz, Al Targhetta, 'iBarrel Cenzano, Dickie Provost, and Breezy Brissette were added to the roster, the Juniors then sponsored the Football Dance. Tommy did a 'fgreatn job of organizing and directing. Thanks also went to Dickie Duprey, Pat Manix, Mitzi Volpe, Judy Robinson, and Mr. Galbraith for transforming an ordinary gymnasium into a 'imake-believe ball- room. Entertainment was provided by the :Tour Guys and a Galf' They came back for many encores as their performance was splendid. The class generously gave the proceeds to Patty Piper, a wonderful classmate, confined at home. While the Mdebutantesu were in the spotlight, the athletes also got their share of attention. Basketball season came and saw Stan and Butch playing varsity while Breezy', captained the J.V.,s. Pat O'Neil, Sally Lukow, Eleanor Schmidt, and Toshie Rogalski played varsity, and Si Siano, '4Sis Kniskern, and Helene Pinksee played J.V. 4'Al Swinerton was star of the varsity tennis team, and Billy Pedigree, Stan, and uButch played for the G.H.S. nine. Sportswise and otherwise Junior year is always a very active year, yet scholastically the class did very well, as many made Junior Pro Merito. An honor was given to Bobby Pryzby, as he was selected a representative to Boys' State. Naturally, he was very impressed and happy. The year ended with the announcement that Sally Lukow would represent Greenfield at the World Y.M.C.A. Conference in Paris. A better girl couldnit have been chosen. If anyone could improve international affairs and relations, Sally could. She even found romance, but she didn't quite manage to smuggle the Eiffel Tower to Greenfield, as she originally had planned. Well, Senior year finally came. It didnlt seem much different except that the sophomores kept getting bolder and sillier every year. It might have been that, at last, they fthe Seniors? were growing up. Time will tell! It didn't take long for them to realize, however, just how im- portant this last year was. Suddenly, in September, Mr. Watt asked them to choose their caps and gowns. Graduation pictures had already been taken. The end was closer than the class expected. Serious thought was then given to the choice of class officers. The class members chosen were Bobby Pryzby, presidentg Judi Bartlett, vice president, Sally Lukow, secretary, and Louie Togneri, treasurer. There was certainly a fine slate of officers. Also added to Student Council were Rosalie Maleno and Arlene Siano. Barb Edes was elected president and Judi Bartlett, vice president of this organization. Then came the tryouts for Senior Play. The class was gifted with many fine actors and actresses, and it took the judges three days to announce their final decision. Chosen to enact Time Out for Ginger were Jackie Brown, Dana Milnes, Snooky,' Roberts, Al Swinerton, Judi Bartlett, Jimmy Drumgool, Polly Piper, Phyllis Jule, Bobby Pryzby, and Ralph Daniels. The senior class immediately organized various committees to make the play a success. They weren't disappointed, and the house was packed both nights. As the last curtain came down, however, the class wasn't concerned with the profits, because they were going to the L'Senior Party. What a party! 6'Princy', Birt was hostess, and that night will never be forgotten. The seniors really had never been well acquainted before, and many members proved to be entirely different from what they had appeared to be. The strains of i'Have I met you? were not a bit unusual either. The best thing about that party was that the senior class seemed to be more Hunifiedf' and more were yet to follow. Mike Sokolosky also proved to be an able host. You just haven't lived until you've been to a senior party. Some haven't re- covered yetl Well, between the parties there was still a calling for seriousness. Karen Alberti was chosen editor of the yearbook, and the work on that was very intense. Karen and the rest of the staff worked very hard to put out an extraordinary yearbook. Meanwhile, everyone was concerned with his or her future. Each classmate had to apply to schools, look for jobs, and take college boards. It was a continual cycle of work and play. As far as play is concerned, sports were most important. It might be mentioned here that Su-Sun and Toshie were added to the cheering squad! They certainly urged their teams on to victory. The tri-captains of football- Tom Budrewicz, Bill Martin, and Butch Peters-captained their team well. They won all but one game, and that was lost because Mr. Hubbard gave them so much homework that they were upset, Stan Scott captained the basketball team. Then Arlene Siano was captain of the varsity field hockey team, and Toshie Rogalski, of the basketball team. These athletes were all true sportsmen, in every sense of the word. Finally, the time came when their senior year was gradually drawing to a close, The class dues were finally being paid, and uBreezy was still complaining because the administration hadn't provided a smoking room. Nevertheless, there was a general realization that the world was waiting for them, not as noisy, silly sophomores but as mature men and women. The class was now ready to fit into society. The '6School Daze together in Greenfield were over, but the memories and friends connected with those days could never be left behind. With hearts full of wonderful memories, perhaps a few tears of sadness, the Class of 1956 left the halls of G.H.S. flncidentally, each classmate also had his diploma.l Ladies and gentlemen, this is Mary Experiences again hoping that you enjoyed today's presentation of School Daze. It was an actual case, and the names were not changed to protect the innocent or guilty. It might be noted here that there is more to education than just book- Iearning, and that this class is a good example. You can be sure that they will get a lot out of life, because they always put everything that they had into whatever they did. Thank you for listening and remember-Be happy, and be like the Class of 1956. M 14 1 U wh W , If -I u i ' ., I- 0 .5 ' -L 1 Ill 5 as :ooo :ooo STORES svonss RED8.
