Administration Faculty Seniors Who ' s who Senior Play Sophomore s Organisations Boys ' sports Girls sports Advertising Si Farewell The Class of 1957 saw the retirement of one of Greenfield’s greatest educators. Mr. Ralph A. Lawrence, the supervisor of both the junior and senior high schools, was the director of instruction for all students. Also, he was the Director of the Vocational School. Mr. Lawrence came to Greenfield in 1918 as the chemistry teacher in the high school. In 1923, he became Assistant Principal; and in 1930 he was made Supervisor of Secondary Education. Mr. Lawrence has been very active in community affairs. He has been Director of the Massachusetts Teacher’s Association in Franklin County since 1939, and is a past president of that organization. He was on the Boy Scout Council of Franklin County for a number of years and on the advisory board of De Molay. Mr. Lawrence served as Director of Christian Education for 20 years at the Greenfield First Baptist Church, and is the chairman of the Board of Christian Education there. He was director of the local YMCA for 10 years, and has long been an active member of the Rotary Club. In 1940, he was given the Phi Delta Kappa award of Secondary Education by the Harvard Graduate School of Education. We shall always be grateful for his quiet influence and enormous help in our education. Dedication Words cannot express the sincere thanks we give to Robert F. Casey for counselling us during our Sophomore and Junior years at Greenfield High School. He was truly more than just a counsellor; he was a friend to all of us. He always had a smile and a hello for each one of us. It is with deep appreciation that we dedicate the 1957 “Evergreen” to him. Administration RALPH A. LAWRENCE Supervisor of Secondary Education A.

H. S. auditorium. Miss Britton’s court consisted of Misses Jane Fleury, Nancy Hooke, Jacqueline Aim- stead, and Barbara Parrott. She was selected queen by the number of tickets sold in her name for the game between Greenfield and Northampton. The total tickets sold numbered nearly 2,600, which was far in excess of last year’s 1,046. Booster Day is sponsored each year by the Exchange Club of Greenfield. Gifts for the queen were donated by many merchants throughout the town. Jeannie was a good luck omen for the Greenies on November 10, 1956, as they won their first game of the season over previously unbeaten ’Hamp, 14-13; NANCY HOOKE THE SENIOR CLASS OF GHS PRESENTS A THREE ACT PLAY FRI DAY SATURDAY DECEMBER Z 8,1956 r s P. M. 6 5 PER PERSON i ADM ISSION ODE TO SENIOR PLAY I GHS Seniors Rehearse For “The Bishop’s Mantle” Greenfield High School sen¬ iors, under the direction of Miss Marion L. Congdon, are prepar¬ ing “The Bishop’s Mantle’’ for presentation in the auditorium Dec. 7 and 8 at 8:15 p.m. The plot revolves around a courageous young minister, Hil¬ ary Laurens, a role impersonat¬ ed by Donald Moore. One of Hilary’s many problems in¬ volves his younger brother, Dick, enacted by Fred Schmidt. Dick’s carefree manner and his poor business ability cause him the loss of all his money in a bad in¬ vestment. Another of Hilary’s problems concerns his fiancee, Lex Mc- Colly, played by Mary Finn. Lex, a beautiful young socialite, feels unfit to be a clergyman’s wife; also, her rich Aunt Hettie, interpreted by Ann Skinner, does her best to see that Hilary and Lex are unhappy. Hilary must also struggle with the influential Mr. Alvord, who lacks a Christian attitude con¬ cerning poor tenement people wishing to join the church. Greg¬ ory Burt plays the part of Mr. Alvord. Furthermore, . Robert Gatithier in the role of Mr. Dunn, causes Hilary still more trouble by attempting to create a ro¬ mance between Hilary and Mr. Dunn’s daughter, Maudie, enact¬ ed by Lois Greuling. Other persons important to Hilary in his new church are Mrs. Reed and Samantha Adams, performed respectively by Rosa¬ lind Barclay and Janet Haskins. Both Mrs. Reed and Mrs. Adams are sincere in wanting Hilary to be successful in his new position. Also, the sweet and rather shy Mary Perkins, played by Jane Fleury, well represents the prob¬ lem of the poor people accus¬ tomed to being unwelcome in the large, fashionable St. Matthew’s Church. David Osgood plays the, part of Hastings, the elderly sex¬ ton, who means well but does not give Hilary much enouragement in his new parish; whereas Miss ' Mowbray, interpreted by,“Judy” I Dallas, is the valuable and intel¬ ligent secretary of St. Matthew’s Church. However, Hilary faces his problems well, even when they reach a climax in the form of cruel newspaper gossip. While Hilary’s problems amass and finally become resolved, sus¬ pense, humor, and well -defined characterization are vital ele¬ ments in “The Bishop’s Mantle”. Student chairman for the en¬ tire production of “The Bishop’s Mantle” is Miss Sandra Signor. Tickets are now on sale at GHS. “Hush, you scamp!” and “Really!” Are quotes we can’t forget. They bring back Senior Play And sighs of no regret. Slaving cast, committees too Made it a great success. And yet, just ask the cast; Rehearsals? Riotous! Selling tickets? Fun, of course. And fun? We all remember A snowy trip to Leyden Pushing cars in cold December. The “Bishop’s Mantle,” surely So big in every way: Spirit, will, and talent Made great our Senior Play.

IT S. presents a three act play The Bishop’s Mantle” Greenfield High School Auditorium Friday, December 7, 1956 100 Curtain 8:15 P. M. Established Price 65 cents Tax Exempt Opening Performance Magnificent As GHS Seniors Stage “Bishop’s Mantle It’s a far cry from the usual teen-age comedy to a straight play of religious theme, but the cast of “The Bishop’s Mantle’’ managed to bridge the gap ad¬ mirably and with good success at the Greenfield High School auditorium last night. Unfortunately, the bad weath er apparently kept most of the potential audience close to their firesides, cutting sharply into the attendance. Those who did attend, however, were treated to as polished a performance as they might hope to see. Special praise should go to Miss Marion Congdon for her capabilities as the director of the show. She brought some good theater to the stage, draw¬ ing high - level performances from the members of her cast. “The Bishop’s Mantle’’, writ¬ ten by Marian Johnson from the novel by Agnes Turnbull, may have been a somewhat ambi tious undertaking for Green- fied’s senior classmen. But never let it be said they didn’t turn in a performance to rival any which have gone before. While each member of the cast seemed to have grown Into his or her respective role and por¬ trayed it with an ease and grace that some adult “actors” never achieve, top honors for pureLex McColly, his now and then characterization should go to David Osgood as Hastings, the elderly sexton; Ann Skinner as Hettie, a rich spinster; and Rosalind Barclay as Mrs. Reed, a kindly woman. Refreshing Scenes The scenes in which the two women dominate the action were deliciously refreshing. They seemed never to slip out of char¬ acter and delivered lines with just the proper zip to bring signs of life to the soberly quiet audi¬ ence. The sexton’s booming voice and pompous efficiency added a welcome touch to the texture of the production. Lois Greulihg, billed as Maudie, a nervous girl, was ex¬ cellent in her portrayal of the wallflower whom her father was so anxious to match with a young man. She managed to blossom forth, however in spite of the fact that “I’m now and father is getting desperate.” 4 Donald Moore displayed sin¬ cerity and studied dignity in his role as Hilary Laurens, the young rector who places his hon¬ or and position at stake in his fight for the right.

All Were Excellent Judy Dallas as the rector’s secretary, Miss Mowbray; Janet Haskins as Samantha Adams, church worker; and Jane Fleury it’s best to see the play to get pleted the feminine side of the cast. Each handled her own role expertly and with charm. It was Dick (Fred Schmidt), kid brother of the rector who supplied the surprise of the eve¬ ning. Who would have thought that this dashing young engineer would ever teg m up with — well, it’s best to see the play to get the full story. Robert Gauthier was � J. V. Dunn, Maudie’s dad, who ran capably through a string of varied emotions, but it was Gregory Burt as Henry Alvord, the real estate man, who pro¬ vided some dark and dirty op¬ position to the new rector’s ef¬ forts to clean things up within his parish. Taken as a whole, “The Bish¬ op’s Mantle” went off smoothly and without a hitch. Each meih- ber of the cast seemed to fit per¬ fectly in place. The timing was good and follow-through could not have been much better. Bou¬ quets to the senior class and to their director. Miss Congdon. Intermissions between scenes were charmingly filled with sweet music from the throats of 14 lovely lasses known as the A Capella Singers. These little ladies sang several selections,, blending their young voices in rich, pleasant harmony. The girls, a team of sophomores, juniors and seniors, were also under the direction of Miss Congdon. Those who were unfortunate enough to miss last night’s per¬ formance of “The Bishop’s Man¬ tle” will have the opportunity ta catch the repeat performance at the high school auditorium to? night.

The winning of the big Turkey Day Game against Turners Falls —14-6—made the affair all the more enjoyable. The large turnout for the dance made it a complete success. I ' l ‘I 1 N.

The band has played for the student body in and out of every assembly, and it has taken an active part in both the Christmas and band assemblies. The band had two of its own concerts, the Christmas Concert and the Spring Concert, and it also organized the variety show, which this year was “I Can Dream, Can’t I.” The band represented, the high school musically at every football game, the Franklin County Fair, and at Leeds Hospital. It also took part in the Western Massachusetts Musical Festival held in West Springfield. This event was looked forward to by the band. The band participated in the Red Feather, Halloween, and Football Rally parades. In the past year the band has added many new members and formed a color guard. It also has bought many new instruments, and new high school banner, and new cornet banners. Greenfield High School Band was the first high school band to have the cornet banners. Through the morning rehearsals, activity period rehearsals, and constant work and practice of the band members and the unselfish devotion of Mr. Perry, the band has improved greatly in its style and quality.

The A Cappella Singers entertained at the Booster Day Rally, the Senior Play, and sang on the radio. They also presented a program at Leed’s Veterans’ Hospital and sang at the Valentine Party for the Rotary Club. The harmony of their blended voices has been heard in our own school assembly. One can hear them singing each Tuesday afternoon in the library. Their fame is due to their able director, Miss Marion L.

The Greenfield High School Chef Club was newly formed this past year. Working under the careful direction of Mrs. Weissenborn, the club learned about making snacks, desserts, and full-course meals. They served refreshments on Parents’ Night last fall. The most important things learned by the club were the use of kitchen equipment, the art of following recipes, the art of setting a table, and correct table manners. Membership in the Chef Club proved to be a valuable experience for all of the boys. 1 II .1 Science Club Members of the Science Club were Lois Greuling, Marjorie French, Rosalind Barclay, Carol Mentor, Ann Skinner, Janet Haskins and Janet Thompson. Mr. Burns, teacher of physics, aviation, and world science, was advisor. During the year the members of the club discussed many aspects of modern scientific theory and par¬ ticularly those relating to phases of astronomy. The group planned field trips includ¬ ing star-gazing expeditions, trips to a planetarium, to the M.I.T. Science Fair, and to the Wilson Observatory at Mount Holyoke College.

The well-rounded program this year included routine business, lectures, and sports. For service projects the Hi-Y offered a scholarship and sponsored the annual Commencement Dance. The members of the Hi-Y express thanks to Mr. Card and to all the others who have helped to make this a successful year for Hi-Y. l| President _ Vice President Secretary _ oigraa m-Hi-i —- Judy Dallas Treasurer ... .

Greenfield High School Football Team Although this season was on the losing side, the boys of G.H.S. showed fine spirit throughout the campaign. The season ended with two straight wins over undefeated Northampton and arch-rival Turners Falls. Our record of two wins, six losses, and one tie was the worst in the past 15 years, but the team’s spirit was the best that could be had anywhere. The outlook for next year is brighter, for Co-Captains, Harry Ruddock and Herb Peters, Jack Sabin, Ted Scott, Bob Murphy, Bob Knickerbocker, John Dalmaso, and Jim Lavin are the only ones who will be missing from the gridiron. Such outstanding performers as belting Buster Kuchieski, Lou Bush, Jr., Paul Ozdarski, John Sak, Bobby Provost, Stan Pryzby, Bob Findlay, and Frank Marini, will be returning from the 1956 starting line-up. Some sophomores who have seen action and who will be seeing much more in the coming season are Billy Bassett, Kerm Hoar, Dick White, Brian Graves, Dick Lewis, John Barlow, and Steve Sinclair, to name a few. The scores and scoring of the games were as follows: Co-Captains HERB PETERS HARRY RUDDOCK The Greenies opened with the eventual conference champs, West Springfield. The final score was 40-13 in favor of Springfield. Dave Bishop of West Springfield scored four touchdown, Herb Peters of G.H.S. scored on a 25-yd. pass from Lou Bush. Then Bush scored on a 10-yard keeper, and Dalmaso caught a Bush pass for the extra point. Next came Springfield Tech. This game showed the punch the Greenies had. On the third play from the line of scrimmage Joe Kuchieski scampered 67 yards to pay dirt. Kuchieski also plunged over for the extra point. Tech’s Hill scored from the 5-yard line, but the Greenies came back with a beautiful Bush to John Sak pass which was good for six points. The Greenies led at the half 13-7. At the opening of the second half the Greenies returned the kick-off to their 12-yard line, and two plays later Herbie Peters broke through the middle for 88 yards and a touchdown, which made the score 19-7. However, Hill and Tech weren’t to be denied. Hill col¬ lected three more Td’s and his teammates made the rest. Tech wound up on top 40-19. The Greenies lost to Agawam 35-7, then to Chicopee 28-0. Having lost four straight, the Green Wave never showed signs of giving up. We lost to Westfield 6-0 in a battle royal all the way. We tied Holyoke 13-13 on Td’s scored by Kuchieski and Ozdarski. This game was climaxed by a Bush to Peters pass for 59 yards; however, Peters was tackled from behind on the 1-yard line, and the game ended there. We lost another close one to Cathedral 20-16 with Kuchieski and Peters scoring seven points each and Ted Scott getting the other point by tackling Cathedral’s Kononitz in Cathedral’s end zone. Finally came the Saturday that we all had waited for. Here were the winless Greenies facing Northhampton, a team which had won six straight and had had only six points scored against them all year. Showing a great defense and a strong offense, the Greenies came up with their first victory 14-13. Buster Kuchieski and Herb Peters scored the touchdowns, and Kuchieski went over for both extra points. Having done an outstanding job, the Greenies were ready for the Indians of Turners. The big Thanksgiving Day game was a royal battle in which the Greenies came out on top 14-6. Turners started things with a bang. Ronnie Sicard swept around left end for 10 yards and a touchdown. The Greenies were held in check until John Sak suddenly went 65 yards on a double reverse play. Kuchieski added the extra point and it was 7-6. Although the Greenies and the Indians went scoreless during the second and third periods, there were tense moments in the latter period, for Captain Neil Tompkins of Turners just missed a field goal from 14 yards out and Bob Laroche’s punt return of 85 yards was called back because of a clipping penalty. In the fourth quarter the Greenies were in charge. Running by Bush, Sak, Ozdarski, and Peters finally led to a touchdown. Co-Capt. Herb Peters, playing with a fractured hand, plowed over from the 5-yard line, and Ozdarski added the extra point. The Turkey Day game ended! Greenfield 14 — Turners 6. Congratulations are due to Coaches Ump Nichols, Stan Benjamin, Tom Rice, and Dick Shattuck, all of whom worked very hard with the squad. 1957 Basketball Squad COACH DANNY DYER Co-Captains DAVE MACK PETE SLAHETKA | The Greenfield High School Varsity Basketball team compiled a record of 11 wins, eight losses during the regular season. A 4-6 Valley League record placed the Greenfield team fourth in the standings. Good luck and loud cheers brought the fruits of victory to the Green Wave on their home court, winning all Valley League games except the ’Hamp contest. Impulsive displays during the regular season earned the squad an invitation to the Assumption Tournament. Unfortunately the Dyer men were defeated in ' the first round by Smith Academy. Some of the high points of the season were a thrilling 62-60 win at heavily-favored Springfield Tech, the Greenies behind all the way until the last minute. Revenge was sweet when Chico¬ pee High was handed their first loss to the tune of 67-55. Near the close of the season, Greenfield lost a tough one to Turners 56-68. Probably the most exciting game all season was the last tilt with ’Hamp with the Green Wave losing 70-74 after staying within two points of the league leaders for almost the whole contest. Although Danny Dyer couldn’t boast an exceptional won-lost record, the boys sported a very good record in League scoring. Greenfield placed four men of the top ten in the Valley League individual scoring column. Dave Mack won fifth with a 12.4 average; Junie Bush placed seventh with 12.3; Pete Slahetka sported a respectable 11.5 points in the ninth spot; and Paul “Machine” Ozdarski finished in the tenth with 11.4 points per game. Scoring averages for the whole season saw Junior Bush top the team list with a 14.6 average; Mack followed with 12.1; Ozdarski had 10.4; Slahetka made 9.6; and Buster Kuchieski rounded out the top five with 8.6. Toot Michaud contributed 45 badly needed points doing an excellent fill-in job during tight games. 1 p I i JUNIOR BUSH DAVE “SUGAR” MACK DAVE MACK — Co-Captain. Tallest man on the team and the best rebounder. A steady scorer with a very good average. PETE SLAHETKA -— Co-Captain. Little Pete, a scrappy competitor with fight. Likes to jump from the corner and drive. Jump shots are his trade mark. JUNIOR BUSH — Top scorer on the team. Variety of shots made him a real threat. Junior’s jump shots are usually very accurate. A driver and a hard worker. BUSTER KUCHIESKI — Another junior, Buster is the ball-handler of the team. Buster proved invaluable as a playmaker and also as the team’s top set shot artist. A real team player. PAUL OZDARSKI — “Oz” started at center and played with a consistent will. Short jump shots and rebounding are Paul’s best assets. A perfect example of a fine machine is Paul’s way of shoot¬ ing fouls, hence the nickname. DAVE MICHAUD — A junior who consistently came off the bench to save the game. Toot was a fine man in the clutch. Varsity Scoring PETE SLAHETKA BUSTER KUCHIESKI I We They Athol _ 76 45 Drury _ 42 71 Spfld.

V. Basketball Squad The Greenfield Junior Varsity team had an exceptionally good basketball team this year. They won all their games but two, losing both of them to a big Spring- field Tech team. Their overall record was 17 wins and two losses. The players on the team were: DICK FREGEAU — a small player who likes to drive a lot, and has a lot of hustle. He led the J. V. team in scoring. MARK O’CONNOR — one of the tallest of the players on the J. V. team. Rebounds well and shoots mostly jump shots from in close. His height can be used to very good advantage next year. PAUL SLAHETKA — might see a lot of varsity action next year. Second high scorer on the team, has good jump shot, and can drive. KERMIE HOAR — the other big man who rebounds exceedingly well. Possible for him to be in starting varsity line-up next year. CLESSON PRATT—has a good eye from the outside and can drive. Also might see some varsity action. BILL LAPINSKI — out most of the season with a broken wrist. Could use his height next year for rebounding. The rest of the players to round off the squad are Joe Winseck, Bill Jarvis, Nicholas Salustri, and Brian Graves.

Greenfield Track Team The Track Team of 1957 is looking forward to a successful year. The team will have meets at Turners Falls, Frontier High School, Drury, University of Mass.; relays at Keene, in Valley League Championship, West Springfield International, Western Mass. Championship, and Amherst. To reminisce a bit, the track team of 1956 won the Valley League Championship for the third year in a row and placed second in both the Western Mass. Champion¬ ship and West Springfield International, losing the latter by only one point. The loss of Stan Scott —110 and 220, Tom Budrewicz — shot put and discus, and Tom Carroll and Fran Brissette — javelin, will be felt, but shouldn’t have too much of an effect on the team of 1957. Returning point-getters are Captain, Jack Sabin —120 low hurdles and 220, Herb Peters—440, Ted Scott — 880, Paul McDonald — one mile, Dave Cardoropoli — javelin, and Fred Bidwell — shot put and discus. Other members of the squad are Phillip Morris and John Sak — pole vault; Dick Pelis — 880; John Waite and John Barlow — one mile; Joe Slahetka — high jump; Harry Ruddock and Rene Paradis — shot put; and Bob Findlay -— broad jump. A successful season is expected by all. G. H. S. Tennis Team The undefeated Greenfield High School Tennis Team of 1956 is looking forward to another good year. All except one letterman is returning to this year’s team. Leading this year’s team is Captain Robert Thompson. Bob is one of our outstanding singles players — when we needed a win badly, Bob was always the boy who went in for us. Although last year was Ronnie Cole’s first year of tennis, he made the varsity. Ron is a hard-working player with a bullet-like serve; he is a hard man to stop. A singles player from last year’s team is Paul McDonald. Mac’s steady game and great heart have made him the man to watch out for in Western Mass, tennis. Top sophomore prospects for the varsity are Dan Brown and Brian Blassberg. Both these boys have played in the local playground tennis tournaments with Brown coming up as a winner once. Other members of the team who have a good chance of breaking into the starting lineup are Paul Fontaine, Don Kestyn, and Steve Sinclair. The team owes all its success to its hardworking coach, Mr. Ray Spencer, who works with the boys from March 1 to the end of the season. Although it was not official, many people called our tennis team the Western Mass, champs. Varsity Field Hockey Team The Varsity Field Hockey suffered a poor season this year but they kept on fighting until their last game. The team, under the management of “Mamie” Diamond, went to Keene only to lose 2-0. This did not stop them; however, on the return game they seemed to play better, holding Keene 1-0. The battle for wins went on until their visit to Stoneleigh, when they were de¬ feated 5-1. In the return game the girls played in the rain still trying for a win; but they lost again 3-0. The players who will best remember that game are “Bert” Majewski, Jerry Punch, Mary Anne Ozdarski, Maryanne Sache, and Judy Rice, because they succeeded in coming in close contact with little puddles of mud now and then. The girls went to “Hamp” and held them to a 2-2 tie. This was but a prelude to the final bout which they won 5-1. In this game both offense and defense were played well. Ruby LaChance, Ellen Crosby, Peggy Dallas, Joan Penfield, Jean Britton, Sandy Holmquist, and Judy Roberts were featured in this game. The whole team wishes to thank their Coach, Miss Eleanor Smiley, for her fine work with the team. Tanya Maniatty, Marjorie Conn, Louella Weld, Regis McNeil, Joyce Turner, Bonnie Cameron.

The team finished the season with an enviable record of 11 wins and only one loss. The girls were coached by Miss Eleanor Smiley, and Beverly Cokely was their able captain. The only loss was to Amherst. Team work and good sportsmanship were the forces behind all the victories. The Junior Varsity also had a good season this year, losing only three out of 10 games. Jane Sautter was their captain. Peggy Dallas, an outstanding player, turned up with the highest score at every game. These little Greenies showed good team¬ work especially among the guards.

N.—Pardon me, ma’m, but aren’t you an old classmate of mine, Sandy Signor? S.—Well, if it isn’t Ned Vitalis. I haven’t seen you since graduation day when you revived Mr. Watt with Bob Gauthier’s rotten egg gas, after the whole class trampled him on their way out. N.—Poor Mr. Watt, if it hadn’t been for Dr. “Ellie Bellie” Crosby and nurse Diane Umberger, he might not be warden at Sing Sing today. S.—Well, at least he still sees some of the old class. I hear Fran Clark’s gang, composed of “Jim the Ripper” Ripka, “Dangerous” Dick Morrissey, “Deadly” Dorman Orr, and Maxine “Brains” Schnell, held up Ritas’. They were captured after Rosy Hanley gave them free cokes and slipped in a couple of the Pen- field’s Pink Pills which laid them out until Police Chief Herb Phillips with officers Jim Flynn and “Sillyman” Silliman came with the handcuffs. N.—By the way, Sandy, what are you doing in the big city? S.—To tell you the truth, Ned, I’m here on vacation from the monotony of Burbank Hospital. Too bad my last patient, Jane Fleury, died from Killay’s disease of physical exhaustion. N.—Well, what are your plans; and where are you staying? S I really have to do some research at the Punch, Rice, and Sachse Chemical Corporation, but today I have free. N.—If you haven’t anything in particular lined up for today, I’d be glad to show you around the city. By the way, speaking of the Chemical Corporation, isn’t that where “Tank” Mentor is working on the sugarless candies for the Val Smith Confectionery Company. S.—Yes, and Jean Britton is still experimenting on that powerful black light bulb. N.—How powerful is it? S. —300 Watt. N.—Wow, that is powerful. We may as well get started; where are you staying? S. —Klaiber’s Kave on Bousquett Boulevard. N.—What a coincidence, that’s where I parked my helicopter. Let’s go. Here’s my chauffeur, Wild Bill Coutu. Hop in and we’ll bomb down to your hotel. (Screech, Honk, Honk, Roar) S.—What was that? N.—Ken Nims, the mad taxicab driver. S. —But what on earth was that noise? N.—An ingenious sound amplifier, “Honky Holmquist,” the human horn. She is under the hood of the car in her echo chamber; her leg’s sticking out of the glove compartment. Whenever sound is needed, Ken just pulls her leg. S.—I’ve got the Recorder Gazette here; let‘s see what’s going on in our home town. Hey, look, Ned, headlines — “Rebirth of Evans.” It says here that Bert Phillips and Carol Jones have converted the library into an elaborate soda shop which sells Alden Appetizers, Bidwell Beverages, and Willey Waffles. N.—I see here that Annette Gadbois and Fred Hale have found an inconsistency in Einstein’s Theory. Instead of E equals MC2, E equals M-O-L-E. S.—And here on the Woman’s Page, Editor Rosalie Gordon reports that Gentleman George Hawkins and Meek Mary Finn are still constant companions. Julie Cleary has recently moved into our favorite old English class in Room 12. N.—What’s this? Why it’s Ann Skinner’s new recipe for fried lettuce. S.—Sports Page Headlines: Bev. Cokely runs three-minute mile, backwards. Jim Hickey walks from Anchorage, Alaska, to Buenos Aires, Argentina, at the re¬ quest of the Registry of Motor Vehicles. Speaking of cars, “Hot Rod” Holewa, “Crazy” Cole, “Daring” Don Moore, “Reckless” Rene Paradis, and “Tipsey” Tom Till drove in the Mexican Road Race. “Tipsey” Tom rumbled to the finish line to win the coveted Tiquella Cup. N._Some of our old classmates have replaced the animated pictures in the comic strips. Lois Greuling portrays Little Lulu, Greg Burt as Porky Pig, Jay Gould as Beetle Bailey and Ralph Fellows as Archie. Down in the corner I see that Bob Knickerbocker has been writing to Nancy Hooke’s column for advice for the lovelorn. S.—Here in the Want Ads, Roger Oates wants to trade his guitar for a hound dog. Who knows, maybe Carole Noetzel might have one. N.—Loretta Purrington is still looking for Mr. Cox. Fred Schmidt is selling life size pictures of Jett Rink, and applicants to heaven are being sought by “Pete” St. Peter. Well, so much for the paper. S.—Hey, Ned, doesn’t the name on that billboard look familiar? N.—Oh yes, I forgot to tell you, Rad Mayo is up for reelection for mayor. He’s done quite a job with his council of Richard Andrew, Richard Wright, Allan Blan¬ chard and Don Milton. S. —Say, there’s Almstead’s Slenderella Salon that I’ve heard so much about. That’s the place that did wonders for Jane Allen. N.—We just passed the Actors Studio where their newest prodigy is Dave Tucker. Slow down, Bill, here’s Klaiber’s Kave. Let’s go in and check your luggage. Then we can take the elevator to the roof and get my helicopter. S. —I hope that muscular bell hop, Ray Howe, can handle my 300-pound trunk. N.—Step in the elevator, Sandy, and up we’ll go. S. -—Ohhh! N.—Pretty fast, huh? This is the Desreuisseau Special, the only kind that can go 80 floors in 30 seconds. Just hop into my Heist Helicopter, and we’ll be off to view the city. S. —It’s one o’clock now. Why don’t we fly over Kaeppel Avenue where the big parade is going on. It’s in honor of Jim Steiner’s successful elephant hunt in Alaska. N.—Oh, yes, I read about that trip. Joe Slahetka shot a couple of woolly mammoths with the help of Bob Mahar who acted as a decoy. S.—What’s that thing floating by us? N.—Looks to me like Carol Zak and her helium water wings. S. —Oh, yes, fhe Bingville Corporation owned by Hoppy Norwood and Suzie O’Connor made its first million on those things. An employee, Bob Murphy, is working on a cement pair for beginners at Jack Sabin’s YMCA Swim Club. N.—The parade is just below us now. I’ll stop the ’copter. Grab a pair of binoculars and we’ll see what’s going on down there. S.—Well I’ll he, if it isn’t Deane Avery, Ronny Turner and General John Carey in the color guard. I see the National Guard is in good shape with Bruce Sedgwick, Jessie Owens, and Paul Fontaine. N.—Look who’s in the reviewing stand, none other than Teenie Parrott, owner of Parrott’s Pea-Picking Plantation. Her personal bodyguards are the famous Phillips boys, namely Dave and Don. S. —Here comes the main procession. Boy, look at the size of that elephant . . . oops, that’s Dick Emery. Sylvia Wiles is still at the head of the band followed by the members of the elephant expedition—Kay Sullivan as “Chief Skinner,” Shirley Turner the “Tusk Extracter,” and Betty Cox as “Chief Cutter Upper.” N.—There’s Sugar Mack selling balloous with pictures of “Slats” Slahetka, the new Howdy Doody, stamped on them. S.—Julian Lusco, Richard Streeter, and Bruce Wallace, and a few of the reserved policemen, seem to be having a difficult time restraining the crowd from the new rock ‘n’ roll craze, Dick DiGeorge. N.—And bringing up the rear are the West Point Cadets piled in the back of Eddie Bristol’s “Uke.” These young heroes include “Jungle Jim” Allen, “Whitey the Wizard” Phillips, and “Deceiving Diane” Coombs, the first woman of the Men’s Army. S. —While we’re up here, Ned, would you mind if we took a bird’s-eye view of Conant’s new Coney Island? N. —Sure, and on the way we’ll pass over some of the city’s famous landmarks. As a matter of fact, here’s one over here on the right, the famous Glaback Botanical Gardens. Do you recognize who that statue represents? S.—Oh, yes, that’s Bertha Majewski, who made a milestone in medical history for discovering a cure for dandruff, thanks to valuable assistance from “Hairless” Charley Hale, and “Bald” Donald Baldwin. What’s that huge building over there on the left with the platinum roof? N.—Strangely enough, that’s the Diamond Building, main office of the Barclay Bubble Gum Co., where Bev Levinski is chief blower. S. —What’s that bilateral trihexahedron building over there? N.—That’s Gadomski’s Glue Factory, designed by Judy Dallas, where labor and management are on the best of terms. S. —Oh, yes, they stick together. N.—There’s Conant’s Coney Island right below us now. Let’s view the viewings. I guess the side show section is the best place to start. S.—I see Irene Czerwinski is talking up a storm as the “barker.” She shouldn’t have to work too hard to sell tickets for some of the most unusual acts around. N.—I see what you mean. After all, it isn’t every day that you get a chance to see such people as Terry “Hot Lips” Shepard, the fire eater, Helen “snake girl” Woodward, the reptile trainer, and Dick Waite, the “weight lifter.” S. -—Not to mention the field events with the motorcycle daredevils, Roh Prest, Bob Baker, and Carl Fay. They’re the ones who went over Niagara Falls on their bikes for a publicity stunt. N.-—Well, well, who else but Herbie “spaghetti bender” Peters is running the pizza stand. Speaking of food, notice “Buckwheat” Thompson in cage posing for animal crackers? Looks like little “Nino” has put on quite a bit of weight since I last saw him. S. —Judy Roberts is attracting quite a bit of attention with her trained horse show. Bill Sautter certainly adds to the act by standing on his head and then on his nose while riding. N.—Too bad we’re up so high, we could take a ride on Ruby LaChance’s roller coaster. It must be quite a ride, as Dick Carpenter and Ken Luippold are taking their parachutes with them. S.—Isn’t that Jan Farwell and Paula Loignon in the gorilla cage? N.—You’re right, Sandy, but what on earth are they doing? S. —Oh, I see now, they’re giving “King Kong” his monthly permanent while his owner, Harry Ruddock, is trying to hold him still. N.—Wow! Look at that aerial show. A human pyramid of Don Greven, Carol Dion, Anne Steiner and Petite Pat DeForge. You might know, Jim Woodbury would forget to put up the life net. S.—I’ve got a weak stomach; let’s go, Ned. N.—OK, Sandy, it’s just about time to wind up the day with a trip to Danny VanValkenburg’s “Holiday Hideaway” Night Club. S.—Doesn’t the Statue of Liberty look nice out there? Is Bob Maynard still the lamplighter? N.—Yes, he is. Look down there on the water and you’ll see Dave Osgood running the Staten Island Ferry Boat. S.—Why, that other boat must be Joy Pratt’s “Bon Joy” trawling for snails. I see Ed Farmer on the other side of the island is diving for Indian Head Pennies. N.—Over on my side is the UN building. Some of our old High School grads are making their careers there. S. —Oh, yes, I remembers reading about Steve Maynard, the delegate from Ant¬ arctica representing the penguin population. N.—That’s right. Lately he has besen working with Jeannette Dostie, the delegate from Mole Land, and Ed Herzig, representing the Boston Red Sox. S.—Weren’t they working on Mr. Hubbard’s proposal for a 22-hour school day? N.—Yes, but thank heaven the President of the General Assembly, Ted Scott, vetoed the motion. It ' s getting dark, so I’ll turn on the radio and see if we can pick up Walter Winchell’s young prodigy, Janet Haskins. S.—Janet reports first from the Belgian Congo that Digging Denny Charron has just arrived with her expedition of Patsy Yobst, Maureen O’Connor and Anne Kacpura. Denny said that she had just received valuable information concerning the remains of Vera Pettit’s past Pet Pig, which we know was lost in the shuffle at graduation. N.—Seen: Margie and Ben French covered with seaweed, posing as mermaids for the famous nature artists, Dick Atwood and Bob Alex. S. —Robin Stone completes a world-wide tour playing Joy Braddock’s One Finger Symphony. Valuable assistance was rendered by Arthur Nelson, her piano tuner, and Louise Andrew, page turner. Eloise “Buttsie” Stotz, daughter of Karl Stotz and the former “Mimi” Taylor, has amazed the world by quoting the logarithm table in entirety. Columbia University has just accepted two new faculty members, June Grant, Public Speaking, and Barb Mushovic, World Science. Good night wide world from “Hasty” Haskins. N.—Hang on to your seat and I’ll land the ’copter on the Hideaway’s Terrace. — Here we are safe and sound. S. •—Let’s go over and sit at that vacant table over there. Isn’t this terrace attractive? What’s that sound, Ned? N.—That’s Buddy Allard and his “Slippery Six Combo.” As usual Buddy is on drums backed up by Johnny Dalmaso on the Bongo Drums. Evelyn Meier and Madeline Neverett compose the brass section playing the trumpet and French horn respec¬ tively. Judy Sevene carries the beat with her bass fiddle, while Dick Pelis swings with his accordion. S. —Why, there’s the famous Hotcha Girls, with “Bouncing Kathy Belden,” Carol “Bubbles” Wallner, “Dainty Dot” Woodard, and “Curving Carol” Finnie. My, what a strange bush. It’s just moved over to that table. N.—Oh, yes, that’s Jim Lavin, the bouncer, in his working clothes. This place is full of surprises. S.—It sure is; I never thought there would be such good service here. N.—It’s not every day that a place has someone to burp its customers like Nancy McFarland is doing. Elegance is the word here. Mary Lou Flavin sprays diamond dust on all top hats in the check room. I hear Joan Moore went home the other night with a platinum soup bowl. Ken Kurtyka parks all the new Caddys and Pricilla Herzig is chief napkin tier. S. —Here comes waitress Bette Swehla. I can hardly wait to order some of Kieran Tebo’s delicious dishes.

And to those of you whom we unwittingly forgot or left out, we offer our humble apologies. Thus we conclude this, the Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1957. JANE FLEURY and ROBERT GAUTHIER We wish to express our gratitude to Mr. Hubbard for proofreading the prophecy and the will. Class History One bright September day in 1943 in Greenfield, Massachusetts, about 170 small girls in starchy plaid dresses and boys with hair slicked back entered kindergarten. This was the beginning of 12 years these youthful, enthusiastic students spent together. Although in 1943 no one ever referred to them as such, these incoming five-year- olds were the class of 1957. In seven schools they began making friends of each other, learning, and storing up the memories presented here. Four Corners School was certainly a place of many happy incidents. The most outstanding thing learned in kindergarten was how to do the elephant and duck walk. On May Day in the first grade our class did the minuet. You should have seen Brucie Wallace and Bernie Hale in their short pants and ruffled shirts, not to mention Loretta Purrington and Diane Coombs with their dainty old-fashioned dresses and paper doilies on their heads. As a matter of fact our whole class looked like little angels. In second grade we had a new, inexperienced teacher. One day she broke the yardstick on Fred Bidwell. We were sure he’d been crippled for life. The same year we were introduced to the habit of having to wear tape on our mouths during recess if we talked in class. Bucky Gates kept the tape company in business. The four peanuts of our class, Patty DeForge, Dotty Woodard, Bette Swehla, and Janie Allen, were always envied by the tall girls who towered over the boys. Ray Howe used to drive all the teachers crazy because he talked so softly. One of them came close to buying an ear phone. During the third and fourth grades our class grew. The newcomers were: Eddie Herzig, Dave Mack, Phillip Hamer, Dicky Waite, David Osgood, and Joy Pratt. Our third grade teacher’s favorite expression was “Oh, go look for my red check¬ ered apron.” Leslie Phillips spent all one morning looking for it in vain. In third grade a cut-off rabbit’s foot was found in Donald St. Peters desk, apparently from one of his own pet rabbits. Speaking of pets, Ned Vitalis always had a pet snake with him. He adored teasing the girls with them. Margie French’s wittiness started in the fourth grade when she wrote a clever de¬ scription of our substitute teacher. While explaining it in the principal’s office she decided that it was a description of a character in a play that she was writing—fast thinker! Kierin and Jimmy Tebo used to wear twin sailor suits and how the girls admired them! All the excitement really started in the sixth grade- along with all our class parties at Pudgie Page’s, Tommy Kelly’s houses, and Ellen Crosby had the annual Halloween Party. The flirts of our class, Don Baldwin and Dave Mack, were always there with bells on. May Day that year was unforgettable. Jeannie Britton was May Queen, and Kenny Nims had the job of crowning her. Two perfect little boy scouts, Ned Vitalis and Pudgie Page, in full uniform carried the flags! Federal St. School was a center for all sorts of activities. Bev Cokeley ran a business in the third grade for making paper dolls for her classmates. Judy Rice was an expert at manufacturing multi-color tissue-paper flowers. Robin Stone was the class musician as well as the class tree drawer. Now there’s a talent you never knew Robin had! In sixth grade Rozzie Barclay and Sally Alden, best seated on opposite sides of the room, devised an elaborate system of sign language. As you can see, these students had varied talents. While the boys, including John Habberley, Ronnie Scott, Dick Martineau, Herb Phillips, Don Milton, Bob Thompson, and Whitey Phillips, were out at physical ed¬ ucation, the girls in fifth grade made an afghan for a veteran’s hospital. Jan Farwell, the champ at this endeavor, made 25 squares. Also in this grade, the class, party- minded already, threw a celebration in honor of their surprised teacher’s birthday. Joy Braddock was the class party-giver. Her parties in fourth and fifth grades were great social events. Bobby Thompson gave teachers eyestrain with his unrestrained handwriting. “Hecto Highlights” was founded by the sixth graders with Ann Skinner and Stephen Wolanske in charge of production. An Egyptian drama in seven acts was Ann Skinner’s contribution to sixth grade. Ann, the writer, director, and producer of this epic, modestly assigned herself only a minor role. Unfortunately, after four months of rehearsals, the production was cancelled on account of murderous threats to Ann by the cast. At School St. School the fourth grade English course included extracurricular practice in writing love letters. Here is a specimen: Dear “X:” I love you. Do you love me? Yes No Please check one. Love, “Y.” The fourth grade class had the opportunity to watch the development of a real romance between the teacher and Billy Sevene’s uncle. Dorman Orr, the class clown, held his breath to make his classmates laugh, then scared them by not letting it out until they stopped laughing. Pig Latin was the most fascinating study in the fifth grade. Chinese checkers, the hangman’s game, and riding bicycles in the basement also rated high. Miss Judy Dallas, fifth grader, achieved the honor of having a play written by her acted by the sixth graders. Having reached sixth grade, the boys in the class constructed suits of medieval armor from silvered cardboard and paper clips. Other activities at School St. included square dancing and softball. Students at Newton St. School kept busy with many activities. Particularly mem¬ orable were the school field days at which the students played games and rode on horses provided by Dickie Squires and Leon Green. The annual Halloween party and parade and the Christmas party with a big tree and a Santa Claus were also important events. Even more outstanding though were the yearly fairs, at one of which Harry Ruddock masqueraded as a fortune teller. This fair helped finance a trip to Springfield. Maxine Schnell’s favorite activity was baby sitting for the kindergarteners. De¬ livering milk was also a coveted job. In sixth grade the girls of this class formed a softball team which lost every game. From Newton St. to North Parish School is a far cry. At the latter the girls were better softball players than the boys. Of course, there were more girls than boys. Social events at North Parish included a hayride, Nancy Hooke’s Valentine parties and Verne Towle’s birthday celebrations. Favorite sports were roller skating, king of the mountain, spin the bottle, and note-passing. Mamie Diamond, champion marble player, guarded carefully her sack of “alleys.” Joan Moore was the class pianist. Jean Penfield played the lead role in “Miss Cobb,” a story of an old maid, some children, and a ball field on the former’s property. Fashion notes must include Nancy Hooke’s beautiful clothes and Janet Thompson’s baloney curls. Fighting with the boys was Joan Penfield’s favorite activity. She stopped long enough to go daisy-picking with Billy Coutu. But no wonder! Billy gave her rides on his handlebars! At Pierce Street School it is fun to remember how we used to fight over those choo-choo trains and kitty cars. Carol Mentor can probably remember this!!! In first grade, Miss Boyd’s ferns played a big part when Rest Time came, and everyone would lay their heads on the desks facing the ferns while she played “Lullaby and Goodnight.” Those were the days! It seems that in second and third grades, the boys were made to wait a few minutes after school for the girls to get a fair head start home without being chased. John Habberly and Dave Mack were the “big guns” at this stage. All the girls envied the Penfield twins, Jean and Joan, because between the two of them they weighed 80 pounds! (This did not go over big with the boys, though.) King of the Mountain was a big favorite of ours especially when Ann Skinner was placed at the top!! Also in third grade, David Osgood was a budding author. Every week he would read one of his stories to the class and then place it in the little booklet he had made. No one, certainly, could forget the day he presented his little booklet to Miss Norton, who promised “to keep it always.” No one can forget either the day he rode up to Memorial Day exercises on a white horse. The biggest disappointment of Judy Dallas’ life at P.S.S. was the day she reached third grade and waited to be referred to as one of the “Big People” by Miss Boyd. But it seems that by the time we reached third grade, they stopped calling us “Big People.” Does everyone remember why our class was always late for recess? The reason was that Jackie Almstead would chew her straw so she wouldn’t have to drink her milk but the teacher always made her finish, straw or no straw, and everybody had to wait patiently!! ? In kindergarten at Green River School most of the children were quite shy. How¬ ever, all seemed to forget this shyness when they formed a precision band, “which was usually off beat.” Remember Dick Palis on the little drum and Anne Steiner on the triangle? First and second grades were rather uneventful. However, all remember Shirley Turner’s Valentine Day outfit in first grade. It consisted of a cute dress with a red apron with hearts on top. Oh, how Shirley was afraid it would be ruined when she was walking home in the rain that afternoon. In third grade an unforgettable square dance group was formed. Among those in it were Pete Slahetka, Barbie Mushovic, John Dalmoso, Carole Noetzel. and Jack Sabin. How proud they all were the time they showed the Junior High girls how to square dance! Ah, yes, and poor Jack Sabin! Every time he square danced, Carole Noetzel stretched out his sweater sleeves. Because the old Green River School only housed four grades and the new one wasn’t finished, for fourth grade we trotted off gaily to Federal Street School. How¬ ever. many had to run back in the afternoon (and not too gaily) in order to get to school on time. By the time another September rolled around again the new Green River School was opened. Entering as the first fifth graders ’57 was very proud of the fact. We all loved this school and helped out in any way we could. I’m sure all remember “Johnnie” the janitor. He was the boys’ best friend. His office was their club room. Oh, how mad the girls used to be because they never knew what went on behind the closed doors of Johnnie’s office. However, in sixth grade the girls found their ally, their teacher, Miss Hart. Often the girls and Miss Hart were at “war” with the boys and Johnnie. This was also the year that a group of students in our class headed by Evie Meier and Joe Slahetka painted a mural on Miss Tenny’s office wall at the Junior High School. This mural depicts a maple sugar refinery and can still be seen on the office wall. How well I remember the gang from good old Holy Trinity. Along came the first day of school and with it came the tears of many a young student. Paula Loignon led the crying section, she just didn’t want to see her mother go! Carol Mentor, on the other hand, never cried. She considered the act absolutely degrading to any level-headed first grader. It seems to me—Carol’s mouth turned down and water flooded her eyes, one day when she was accused of having spelled “Santa Clause” wrong. Gerry Punch did tear shedding quite often. It seems Marianne Sachse liked to yank Gerry’s curls. Something I am sure we’ll never forget were the eloquent history recitations given by John Carey. The funny part of that is John never knew his history lesson. When called to the front of the room to recite—the book on the front desk was turned around. For some reason or other it was never John that got blamed. Of course all of us got a taste of detention. The major offense, punishable by an hour after school, was unprepared poetry assignments. I guess Sandy Signor will never forget “The Terrible Turk.” If it wasn’t for Sandy’s strong, unyielding and above all, unlaughing voice—we would still be reciting that poem. Julian Lusco found poetry a particularly amusing subject and so spent many an afternoon reciting it at 3:15. No one can forget Barb Killay and Bob Murphy. They didn’t say much but when Sister left the room, they were the first ones to let the erasers fly. These little out¬ bursts were the cause for many students “staying in” for recess. Anyone knows it’s p ure agony watching from the window. It’s not that we didn’t have anything to do during these “stay in” periods for we did, but who could re-write the dictionary in half an hour? Freddy Schmidt was pretty good at baseball. That was the reason for his walking in 10 minutes late for every afternoon session. We had quite a few hungry students, too. You know—the kind who pack a lunch and munch on it during last period before lunch. Denny Charron always managed to swallow her pretzels in time to recite, but there was no such luck for Carol Wallner. Her attempts to recite with a mouth full of apple ended in complete chaos. If you wonder why Denny has an uncanny fear of bugs, ask her about the one she put on Sister’s desk, just to be funny. None of us will forget our April Fool’s Joke. Sister didn’t laugh—we were at the dictionary again. Suzie 0 Connor had most of her trouble coming to school on the bus. It seems Eddy Croteau loved to tease Suzie. Suzie would let her Irish temper go and make mince meat out of Eddie. Terry Shepard had many a good birthday party; and everybody loved parties at that age. I remember Jim Hickey—art was not his specialty, he used to smudge his colors! He always sat in the back seat. It wasn’t that Sister thought she could trust him back there; but he was much too big for the front seat. Anyway there were only six front seats and Ray Mayo had one reserved for him. Rosemary Hanley was the girl to look for when one was hungry. She always had goodies. Too bad it had to be licorice. Unfortunately, our teacher had a keen sense of smell. Was it Sandy Holmquist who wrote “I must not eat during school’’ 100 times? Sandy was rep¬ rimanded for letting Sandy Anderson sit on a pair of scissors, too. I wonder if Sandy Holmquist really didn’t see them. If I remember correctly she put them there. The gang at Conway Street School, although there were not many in the class, managed to keep busy in their own ways. First graders were saddened and thoroughly chastened each time their teacher grew disgusted with them, called up the nearby junk yard, and sold the lot of them for 50 cents. Regularity was a feature of life at Conway St. Every day at 10 o’clock Annette Gadbois burst into tears. Whitey Phillips systematically proposed to every girl in the third grade. Some say he made the rounds four times. Spectacular precision marching around wastebaskets was a highlight of every year’s Memorial Day exercises. At their last Memorial Day ceremonies at Conway Street, Carol Zak and Billy Coutu touchingly enacted Martha and George Washington. To prevent starvation, Pete Taylor and Paul McDonald had the habit of eating a snack of paper and paste. Paul wasn’t able to eat anything after the cold day he froze his tongue to the fence. Most feared by their classmates were Greg Burt and Mary Diamond. The former fought at the drop of a hat, and the latter loved to make her girl friends cry by accusing them of being sissies. What happened after everybody completed the sixth grade and passed out of their respective grammar schools? At Davis Street School all were united under one roof, into one class. After the first confusion of changing classrooms every period and being assigned homework, the class of ’57 settled down to becoming a unified whole. Music classes were serenaded by a chorus consisting of Dave Mack, Bucky Gates, Steve Wolanski, Dick Page, Pete Slahetka, and Ned Vitalis. Their most-requested numbers were “Slap Her Down Again, Ma!” and “Goofus.” Two consecutive periods of art a week made a welcome relief from the daily grind. Furthermore, between periods art classes took a break by trotting down one flight of stairs, through the hall, and back up again. Thrill! In Miss Congdon’s room, book reports entered our lives. Some people read more books that year than they ever had before or have since. Seventh grade dances were brightened by the gay pictures drawn by Nancy Hooke and Teenie Parrott. Moving up to the Federal Street Junior High the class of ’57 was only slig itly taken aback by its first encounter with French. Who can forget Miss Curtin s enur nation of “Mademoiselle Alden” or “Monsieur Vitalis?” Eighth grade talent show, a chorus line including Jan Farwell, Jear Britton, Teenie Parrott, Jane Fleury, Nancy Hooke and several more. “We are the Green¬ field girls.” Ninth grade at last! Top dogs at the Junior High, at last we were allowed to travel between the Junior High and High School for Latin classes. No Popsicles ever tasted as good as those bought coming from the High School on warm spring days. One group of girls formed a lunch group which ate at Janie Fleury’s, Joy Braddock’s and Sandy Signor’s houses. Siggie’s piano playing was the rage that year. Judy Dallas and Roz Barclay that year made the astounding discovery that to get away with murder a person need only look utterly unaware that he is doing any¬ thing wrong. Our last dance in Junior High had spectacular decorations. Fish nets, sand and shells decorated the stage while a huge mermaid constructed by Jeannie Britton and Jane Fleury festooned the balcony. At the end of the ninth grade Nancy Hooke, Jackie Almstead and Jane Fleury were chosen from many hopeful girls to represent our class on the 1954 Cheering Squad. On a morning in 1954 a horde of uncertain looking fellows and girls swarmed in the halls of G. H. S. This group, laughingly called sophomores, looked around at their new habitat with trepidation. The locker rooms and the showers especially got thorough once overs. High school was an unknown quantity. .Older friends had assured them that high school was completely different, but these friends had ne¬ glected to explain just how it was different. Therefore, the newcomers waited ex¬ pectantly for something radical to happen. While they waited, gradually they became accustomed to their surroundings. Look¬ ing around, during their first class elections, they chose Ned Vitalis to lead them as president, Diane Umberger as secretary, and Judy Dallas as treasurer. The matter of class dues was decided to everyone’s satisfaction. Although we were not too active as a class that year, vigorous individual members plunged into high school life. Cheered by all the sophomores were Tom Lavin, Bob Knickerbocker, Joe Kuchieski, Dick Emery, Bucky Gates, John Habberly, Harry Ruddock, Dick Turney, Herb Peters, Bob Murphy, and Greg Burt on the football team. Our J. V. basketball team: Scott, Herzig, Mack, Peters, Slahetka, Gates, and Kuchieski, did us proud too. In girls’ sports, Ellen Crosby, Bertha Majewski, Anne Steiner, Judy Roberts, Judy Rice, Ruby LaChance, Sandy Holmquist, Gerry Punch, Marianne Sachse, Sandy Signor, Jean Penfield, and Joan Penfield upheld the honor of ’57. The Variety Show was enlivened by a group of sophomore girls who mimed their way through a gay tale of murder and a hoedown. Two members of ’57, Roz Barclay and Ann Skinner, were chosen at the end of our sophomore year to head the “Exponent” during our Junior Year. We were very proud of them and did our best to support them during their co-editorship. Another sophomore, Judy Dallas, was chosen business manager of the Exponent. At the beginning of our Junior year we re-elected all our class officers except the vice president. Since B ucky Gates had left us, we elected Dick Morrissy to this position. The football booth that year was staffed by members of one of the two Junior Tri-Hi-Y’s. These girls remember very well sloshing through puddles of snow two inches deep and feeding the ravenous football players after the games. Nancy Hooke, Jackie Almstead, and Paula Loignon represented ’57 on the cheering squad that year. They had reason to cheer our representatives on the basketball team, Pete Slahetka and Dave Mack. Pajama parties were a favorite pastime for the girls of our class. The boys also liked what they saw of these parties. Carol Finnie and Carole Noetzel’s parties were famous. Ellen Crosby and Teenie Parrott gave fabulous ones, too. Our class originated the Football Kickoff Dance in our Junior year and put on the traditional Thanksgiving Dance. Later in the year we were forced to abandon the “Hoop Hop,” a basketball dance. The class prexy firmly believed that the reason for its failure was its ridiculous name. Jeannie Britton and Bob Gauthier served as secretary and treasurer respectively of the Student Council. Dramatically a group of girls presented “Flapper Girls,” a comedy of the 1920’s. On the baseball team, Greg Burt, Fred Schmidt, and John Dalmaso and Bob Gauthier performed outstandingly. Before we had time to think about the passage of time, our Senior year had begun. In the class elections we voted for Ned Vitalis, Diane Umberger, and Judy Dallas to retain their positions. The vice presidency was gained by Herb Peters. Student Council members chose Jean Britton, president; Bob Gauthier, veep; Barb Parrott, secretary; and Carol Mentor, treasurer. Co-Captains of our football team were Herb Peters and Harry Ruddock, who both turned out to have unsuspected talents for speechifying when called on unex¬ pectedly in a pep assembly. To our great relief Harry and Herb led the football team to a victory over Turners, the win we really cared about. From five candidates, we chose Jean Britton for our Booster Day Queen. The four other lovelies competing were Nancy Hooke, Janie Fleury, Jackie Almstead, and Barb Parrott. Finally came the time for the Senior Play. Competition for parts in “The Bishop’s Mantle” was intense. After deliberation the judges chose Don Moore and Mary Finn for the leading roles of Hilary Laurens and Lex McColly. Others in the cast of 12 were Judy Dallas, Greg Burt, Janet Haskins, Jane Fleury, Bob Gauthier, David Osgood, Roz Barclay, Fred Schmidt, and Ann Skinner. As their song said, “we have worked really hard, but it’s been fun. Cheering co-captains, Nancy Hooke and Jackie Almstead, worked with the cheer¬ leaders to prepare to defend their State championship. Other seniors on the squad were Janie Fleury and Ellen Crosby. Many seniors took part in the 1957 Variety Show, “I Can Dream, Can’s I?” The Rollerettes and the Modern Dance Group, both composed of seniors, were two high¬ lights of the show. Buddy Allard’s drum-playing was another. As our senior year moved into spring, the Evergreen, edited by I oretta Purrington, grew into final form. Our graduation robes of green and white were selected. The Class Prophets, the writers of the Class Will, and the Class Historian worked in¬ dustriously on their projects. However, we were not merely rounding off the tangible part of our last year. We were enjoying the maturity of those friendships begun in grammar school and junior high. We consciously tried to store up memories of our last year; the last Variety Show, the last cheering tournament, and the last school dance. Then, suddenly, one day it was all over. We had What did we have? Practical knowledge, experiences finished our public educations, and lasting friendships.
