SANDER No other aspect of school life has quite as much influence on a student’s development as the faculty of the school. Every action, every reaction, every word of advice from the instructor is a distinct element in molding the character of his students. Sometimes, because they show so well through their own lives how we should pattern ours, certain teachers remain in the memories of their students long after high school days are over. Two such teachers are Carl H. Nichols and Benjamin C. L. Sander. To “Ump” Nichols, whose staunch deter¬ mination and fine methods of fair play have long instilled fighting spirit in the athletic teams of Greenfield High School, and to Mr. Sander, whose helpful advice and ardent enthusiasm in school projects have given students the “will to win,” we are deeply indebted. Each man in his own way has endeared him¬ self to everyone at Greenfield High School. So it is with deep gratitude for their service to our school and to our class that we, the class of 1959, dedicate our Yearbook to our friends, “Ump” Nichols and Mr. Sander. 4 CACU LTY AOMIN 15T ANO Oeronicrt 5 ADMINISTRATION CORRIDON F.

CLASS OF 1959 As the first graduating class to enter the new senior high school the class of 1959 did much to help establish new traditions and uphold several venerable old ones. Early in the year the class voted to change the name of the yearbook, traditionally called “The EVERGREEN,” to “GREENWAVE,” the name by which our school teams and other activities are known. The first senior play to be held in the magnificent new auditorium was staged December 12 and 13 before large and receptive audiences. The play was a success from the viewpoints of accomplishment in dramatics and in finance. Soon after Lent the seniors sponsored a record hop which was greatly en¬ joyed by all who attended. 14 ROSE-MARIE ALEX “Rosie” “To all my friends I leave kind thoughts.” Gregg Shorthand Award 3; Senior Play Usher 4; Senior Play Ticket Committee 4; Gregg Typ¬ ing and Shorthand Awards 4.

Auditorium Just think! In one hour we’II perform “Lavender and Old Lace.” Finally, on this evening of December 12, 1958, we’ll put into practice all that we have learned in the few short months of rehearsals. At last we can go out with the “gang” instead of studying or practicing our parts. No, it’s wrong to think of our Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday rehearsals in that manner. We’re actually going to miss those hours. Remember what a struggle it was for us at first? Veronica Massey was never on time for her entrances. There we’d be, reciting our parts, and suddenly there would be only silence. We’d all look at each other with questioning glances that said, “Who the heck goofed?” After a while it was rather obvious, and then it would be, “Where’s Veronica?” Oh, but Veronica wasn’t the only one. Danny Brown was supposed to announce the arrival of the train. He was to run into the room all out of breath and very excited, but by the time he had exerted his energy in this way, he was so excited that he forgot what to say! Well, his mistakes almost caught up with him one day after rehearsal. Five girls were trying to catch him as he ran in and out of the seats in the auditorium. Granted he would have certainly escaped except for the fact that he tripped and fell head first. Once during a serious scene at rehearsal a cat rather casually strutted across the stage. Indeed, we were quite humiliated for a moment, because we couldn’t understand why our audience was laughing. Oh, those were the times! We’ll never forget the suspense before Danny picked up Janie for their elopement scene. For several weeks in advance she had strict orders from Danny to go on a diet. In the same way, Danny had strict orders from Janie to start weight-lifting! Anyway, he managed, and now we all laughed! Those who came to rehearsals in Jimmy Johnston’s car were always punctual. At every rehearsal we arrived exactly five minutes late. You see, the stage had to be set up before we could begin. Once Louella arrived fifteen minutes late and not in good shape either. Her face was bright red, her eyes were bloodshot, and she walked as if she were ready to fall over at any moment. We were all surprised at such behavior. It was discovered later, however, that Louella had spent the day hunting from five A.M. in the wind and cold of winter. We all had our difficulties. Sue Lyman had a long letter to memorize and occasionally it came out quite absurd. We think Janie’s and Jimmy’s greatest difficulty was to keep from laughing at each other on stage. After we began to appear in our costumes, matters began to change—that is, it was all the more hilarious. How could we look at Millie Pruett with her spectacles at the end of her nose and not laugh? And how could we look at Veronica dragging poor A1 Tucker across the floor “caveman-style” without bursting at the seams? Speaking of seams, we began to realize how tiny those women of the 1890’s were, once we attempted to step into their shoes—or seams at the case may be! When the scenery finally arrived on the day of dress rehearsal, we found even more obstacles to overcome. We thought the whole precious wall would cave in when everyone accidentally pulled the doors open the wrong way. But it didn’t, and we found difficulties in another direction. Ed Hammond could not help but trip on the rug every time he stepped on it. It was just great of Miss Congdon to have a party for us after our last rehearsal. We don’t doubt that Janie gained back all her lost weight with that ice cream, soda, cake, and candy. At any rate, Danny must be prepared for it by now. My, what a terrific job Mr. Osgood is doing on make-up. Why, when Louella looked in the mirror, we bet she could not help but feel her bones creak with old age! Dale Benjamin looks just the part in her pretty outfit, and Millie looks like an old maid, if we ever saw one. It’s almost time to go on now. It’s eight o’clock? Let’s go, everyone, and don’t forget the party for the cast at Janies tonight or the senior play party at John Ostrowski’s tomorrow night! They’ll be a ball! Thanks, everyone, for everj ' thing! 65 The Cast How do you do, Mr. Winfield? “We’re running away with each other!” m BfflIND THE SCENES I II ■■ fmm 1!W Left to right: Jim Gallagher, treasurer; Theresa Arena, secretary; Don Cash, vice-president; Jack Curtis, president. CLASS OF 1960 The major project of the junior class this year was the Thanksgiving Day Dance, the Pilgrim Prom. It was the first big dance to be held at the new high school gymnasium, and the gay decorations added much to the air of festivity.

Large blue and white letters spelling out the name “Winter Fling” was posted along the side boards.

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council of Greenfield High School has a three-fold purpose. First, it is a fine example of a working, demo¬ cratic government. Second, it forms a closer relationship between the faculty and the students. Third, it acts a spokesman for the student body. Mr. Watt acts as advisor. The Student Council meets twice a month. In these meetings the students are represented by elected members of home¬ rooms. The Council discusses student activities and ways to improve the school. It tries to solve school problems, and it ap¬ proves clubs and charters started in the school. The Student Council has had an active year. First, the Council helped solve a problem concerning the cafeteria. Second, the possibility of changing the school nickname from “Green Wave” to a new title was discussed, but by a poll of the student body, it was decided to keep the traditional name. Because during the football season the Band found itself short of travel funds, the Council tried to help the Band raise this money. Members operated the eoncession booth several times at football games.

Officers elected for the year were: George Kasper, president; Joseph Mayo, vice-president; Jane Wain- shal, secretary; and Veronica Massey, treasurer. After ushering at open house in the new high school, a meeting was held at which the purposes of the club were dis¬ cussed. Pro Merito is a National Honor Society for which the requirement for membership is a scholastic average of at least 85%. Members receive recognition, help their school, and have fun. This year a plan was presented to the school administration asking for the privilege of using the student activity area and the library during study periods. After dis¬ cussion with Mr. Trask, Mr. Watt, and Mr. Thompson, the privilege was granted. Since the treasury was low, the members decided to raise the amount of revenue at hand. This was accomplished by operating the refreshment booth at the Booster Day Game, and a good profit was realized. Pro Merito has discussed the new system of mid-years, participated in social activities, and performed services to Greenfield High School.

Band started the 1958-59 season with a sparkling show on the themes “A Four-Leaf Clover” and “Seventy- Six Trombones” perfonned at the annual Franklin County Fair. Throughout the football season the band performed a variety of routines at balftime. Special shows were given on Booster Day, at Fire Prevention time, and at the Turkey Day Came. After football season the band started bard work on its concert repertoire. Some members of the band took part in the Christmas Concert. On December 12, nine of our musicians spent a day in Chicopee, where they prepared and per¬ fonned the District Concert. These students were chosen from the best musicians in Western Massachusetts. In April three of the band members attended the All-State Band in Hyannis, Massachusetts. The best musicians in the entire state were chosen to participate in this three-day festival. In the spring the Band worked particularly hard in preparation for two big events, the annual Spring Concert and the Western Massachusetts Music Festival. At the Spring Concert the band per¬ formed tbe concert numbers on which it had been working aU year. The Festival was an exciting day of auditioning, marching, and meeting members of music groups in other towns. The band played faithfully at every assembly during our school year. Rehearsals were held twice weekly during school and Thursday afternoons after school. During the marching season rehearsals were held two nights a week. Certainly Mr. Perry led our band in an exciting and profitable year. MR. CHARLES F. PERRY, Director DANCE BAND Dance Band provides an opportunity for students who play instruments to learn the techniques of jazz and popular music. Dance Band practices after school on Mondays this year, and all who participated had a wonderful time.

GREENFIELD HIGH SCHOOL TWIRLERS The twirlers of G.H.S. represent the Greenfield High School at the football games. They march with the band, and add zest and color to it. The highlights of the year are the Music Festival, the variety show, and the Franklin County Fair. Twirlers participate in these affairs with great enthusiasm and pep. This year the twirlers practiced two nights a week in preparation for the football season. They learned many new routines and marches. The girls also sponsored a rummage and food sale. The proceeds helped to pay for the twirlers’ dashing new uniforms.

The cheerleaders represent Greenfield High School at every football and basketball game throughout the season in order to lead the student body in cheering the teams on to victory. The squad of 1958-1959 has used new and different cheers and has helped to promote a genuine spirit for our new high school. The highlights of the cheerleading year are first, the games, and second, the tournaments, in which the squad has participated very successfully. Cheerleaders also take part with equal enthusiasm in assembly programs, the Music Festival, the Franklin County Fair, and various school projects.

Glee Club under the direction of Mr. Richard Randall has participated in the Thanksgiving and Christmas assemblies this year. They also devoted many rehearsals to practicing for the Spring Concert and the Western Massachusetts Music Festival. The Club also had several delegates to the District Concert. A new addition to the Glee Club this year was the appearance of several boys. The boys, who have shown a great enthusiasm for singing, have been a real addition to the Club. Next year more boys are expected to join this group. Through the year the singers have been led by the following officers: Carolyn Davis, president; Richard Lewis and Judith Paulin, vice-presidents; Martha Washer, secretary; and Tanya Maniatty, treasurer. S A CAPPELLA SINGERS The A Cappella Singers are a group of sophomore, junior, and senior girls who like to sing. Under the direction of Miss Marion Congdon the girls have sung at the Senior Play, assemblies, and civic functions. At the Senior Play the girls sang a group of old songs keeping with the theme of “Lavender and Old Lace.” For this occasion die girls dressed in old-fashioned costumes. Members of the Singers are Carolyn Davis, Carol Ingham, Martha Washer, Margaret Killay, Dorothy Stahelek, Mildred Pruett, Linda Blake, Gertrude Pollard, Jane Savage, Jo Ann Ward, and Mary Ann Milton.

The purpose of the club is to learn about the teaching profession, its opportunities, responsibilities, and important role in our democracy. The club is to help cultivate the qualities of personality, character, and leadership which are essential in good teachers. In addition, teacher training, scholarships, various cost, and certification requirements are studied. Officers of the club are Brian Graves, president; Peggy Dahlquist, vice-president; Martha Jurewicz, secretary; and Pearl Hall, treasurer. As the club made its debut this year, the program was not very extensive but activities consisted of seniors spending one week with a critic teacher of their choice, and juniors and sophomores S}Dending one day with a critic teacher. Also there were discussions, speakers, films, and social gatherings of other F.T.A. groups. This is a very worthwhile extracurricular activity and all students planning to enter the teaching profession should partake of it. 94 1 i (El|e j xjjiiiicni Fiditor-In-Chief Linda Grotto Kaculty Advisor Mr. Marshall Spangler Managing Editors Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4 Roving Editor Exchange Editor Photography Editor R porters Juli Buraczynski Joseph Mayo Albert Tucker Donald Flanders Veronica Massey Mildred Pruett Jeanne Zywna Ann Gagnon Virginia Massey Janice Sokoloski Phyllis Tyler Caralee Cohen Roberta Coombs Katherine Sokolosky Jane Wai ' nshal Bonnie Cameron Barbara Anderer Linda Buck Janice French Joyce Kostek Photographers Brian Graves Typists Peter Patterson Jean Day Marion Nadeau Betty Prentice Dorothy Stahelek Nancy Rice Journalism Staff Virginia Abbott Dawn Burleigh David Lasky Barbara McShane Carole Paquette Gordon Umberger Louella Weld Richard White June Williams Business Manager and Staff Josephine Cassey Barbara Le Blanc Denny Campbell Marica Mowry Elaine Pearson Sandy Waite Carol Ingham Karen Wood Tanya Maniatty Carolyn Davis Regie MacNeil Christine Pekenia Gail Burnside Publuhed monthly Ratei: 75c pcf year, lOc per sinule issue by the students ot Oreenfield High Schoo [, Greenfield, Mass. _ THE EXPONENT” “The Exponent,” our school newspaper, has had a very successful year. An issue has been presented to the student body every month. In the fall the staff was advised by Mrs. Claire Sigda. When Mrs. Sigda left, Mr. Marshall Spangler assumed this responsibility. A new addition to the staff, the journahsm class, has been a great help to the newspaper. The students have developed writing skills and have lessened the ' heavy burden usually placed upon the editor-in-chief. The staff has produced a paper interesting to every student. There has been a good response to the call for letters to the editor. At Christmas time a cartoon contest was sponsored by the staff. Many clever drawings ap¬ peared, and the winner was awarded a check. 95 ALPHA TRI-HI-Y TRI-HI-Y OMICRON PHI TRI-HI-Y TANYA MANIATTY, President KIPI PEKENIA, Vice-President VIRGINIA PARROTT, Secretary MARCIA MOWRY, Treasurer MARTHA WASHER, Chaplain EILEEN VERRIER, President MAUREEN SULLIVAN, Vice-President KATHY SOKOLOSKY, Secretary SHIRLEY BOGUS, Treasurer PEGGY DALLAS, Chaplain “To create, maintain, and extend throughout tlie home, school, and community high standards of Christian character” has been the purpose and goal of the two senior Tri-Hi-Y’s, Alpha and Omicron Phi.

The purpose of this club is to teach the members gun safety through actual participation. The members, as they become more skilled, meet the qualifications of the National Rifle Association and obtain their just rank. Every year one deserving member is awarded a championship medal. This year the award goes to Albert Russ. j 98 I FOOTBALL STANLEY BENJAMIN, Head Coach The man who took over the role of head coach for the first time this season is Mr. Stanley Benjamin. Stan’s coaching work is not new, for he has been with the Greenfield High School team for many years. As a coach, Stan puts his heart into the game and his boys. Through him we all have learned to accept the good with the bad. Mr. Dyer and Mr. Rice, Assistants GEORGE DYER When Mr. Dyer became our assistant coach this year, he brought with him a friend¬ liness and co-operation that the youth at Greenfield High whole-heartedly accepted. George taught the boys in the line—the boys who take the punishment instead of the glory—the methods of fighting clean and hard. He is presently a teacher at the Greenfield Junior High School. TOM RICE Mr. Rice has been associated with the Greenfield football team for the past few years. Tom has the desire to win which cannot help but rub off on the players. His help in coaching the ends and the defensive line has been a major asset to the squad. He is also a teacher in the Greenfield Junior High School. 00 FRONT ROW: J. Kells, D. Gates, R. Lewis, C.

Duprey, R. McCain, D. Biskerski. As the football season facies from the picture, the fans and players often reminisce on the decisive plays and tense moments of each game. It was nip-and-tuck with Chicopee all the way. It was a close decision, but Greenfield lost on the last two plays when Winseck passed perfectly to each of our two ends, but the cards of fate were against us, and the receivers just couldn’t hold on. However, the season was not all disappointment, as was shown in the game against Northampton. Led by Joey Winseck, the squad marched up and down the football field with beams of pride. Then we felt the thrill of really winning! The Thanksgiving game is always unpredictable, and this year’s contest was no excep¬ tion. Turners was tough, but Greenfield was stronger. In the last moment of play there was still plenty of spirit left in the Greenfield team. It only takes one play to score, and Winseck pulled it out of his magic bag of tricks. He passed to Eddie Letourneau, who slipped, then went on to score for the victory. Although this season saw the boys on the losing side often, there was no better spirit to be found. They worked together with a drive and determination that made Greenfield High School proud of their efforts and attitude. THE CO-CAPTAINS For the first time in many years the co-captains of the football team were elected by their teammates. Elected at the close of last year’s season were “Bob” Provost and “Kermie” Hoar. “Pro” was one of the “old dependables,” who could pick up the extra yardage. An outstanding center in his sophomore and junior years, he made the All-Western Mass. Team in his junior year. When moved to the back- field in his senior year, Bob learned fast and did a superb job. Rounding out his final year of varsity competition, “Kermie” Hoar was elected the other co-captain of the 1958 football team. An outstanding player for three years, “Kerm” played his sophomore year as a defensive end and defensive halfback. Under the leadership of “Kermie” and “Pro” the team achieved near perfect harmony. They were fine leaders and true athletes. “Bob” Provost and “Kermie” Hoar BACKFIELD The 1958 backfield club proved to be one of the most complete ever. The boys were fairly well matched in both the running and blocking positions. It seemed that whenever a fresh backfield mate was needed one was always there. Led by the superb passing of Joe Winseck the Greenfield aerial game really clicked. Joe was judged by many to be one of the best passers to come along in j years; he definitely proved his markmanship. ' Considering the average weight of the backfield contingent, it was splendid that our ground attack was as efficient as it was. Ihe boys, having been together for five years, worked as the “Pony Backfield” and certainly deserved their well-earned I recognition. FRONT ROW: E. Letoumeau, R. i ' Lewis, B. Graves.

It takes never-tiring energy and confidence to create great high school courtmen. Nevertheless, every year Mr. Daniel Dyer turns out a starting five which does G.H.S. justice. However, the class of ’59 was especially proud and fortunate to witness such a terrific basketball season as they saw this year. Mr. Dyer is a very insistent man who believes in thorough, extensive training. Every afternoon the stomping of mighty feet could be heard resounding in the high school corridors. As a gratifying result, the “Green and White” never lost a regular season home game. Not only the decisions of pre-game strategy are left upon a coach’s shoulders, but also the choice of assistance. Mr. Dyer could hardly have done the great job alone; he had fine co-operation from a wise captain, Kermie Hoar. Captain, KERMIE HOAR Kermit Hoar, a 6-footer, rather slender . . . these are some important features, but how about some actual game situation characteristics. One thing a coach always needs is a fine scorer; but one thing he searches for is a fine defensive stalwart. This was Kermie. Mighty hands and coiled legs allowed Kermie to clean enemy boards. He broke up decisive plays which have made the untold difference. Kermie is a good-natured boy, but this never overruled his commands. They were usually obeyed. He never asked of his teammates what he knew was unreasonable. It takes an unexplainable amount of desire and effort on the part of the captain to produce desired results from teammates. Kermie was a fine leader and representative of one of the finest G.H.S. squads in many years. 106 SEASON’S HIGHLIGHTS Friday night, December 26, Green¬ field High edged Arms Academy 46- 43, during one of the twin-bill games at Turners Falls High gym. Bill Jarvis was high scorer for tbe Greenies with 17 points to his credit, equaled only by Arm’s Dave Wissman. The game was an exciting one staying close right down to the final gun. The next night, Saturday, December 27, tbe double-beder was played on Greenfield’s court by the same four teams, this time with different com¬ binations of opponents. In the opener. Turners played Arms Academy while in the second game the Greenies hosted and beat New Bedford 52-42. In tbe latter game, Greenfield High had a 20-point halftime lead and, though outscored in the second half, it was not by enough to take away their lead. High scorers for the Greenies were Paul “Slats” Slahetka, 19 points, Dick Fregeau, 12 and Bill Jarvis, 10. Jarvis’ playing in general and John Potter’s rebounding were very valuable factors in the game. Greenfield High, with a big drive in tbe third quarter, handed Springfield Tech a 10-point loss 52-42, January 2, 1959, at Springfield. The Green Wave, trailing by 5 points at tbe half, spurted ahead during the last half to score 17 points in the third period and to grab an 8-point lead by the end of the third quarter. This lead was increased to 10 points by tbe end of the game. Dick Fregeau and John Potter set the pace with a total tally of 16 to 12 points respectively. In a thrilling basketball game Greenfield downed Chicopee 51-43, January 6, at Greenfield. John Potter, 17, Paul Slahetka, 14, and Dick Fregeau, 12 points, were the Green Wave’s high scorers. The Greenies whipped Northampton High 70-53, January 9, at Greenfield. The Green attack was led by John Potter, wbo scored 29 points and came up with many rebounds in just 23 minutes in the greatest performance of his two years in Greenfield. Other high scorers for Green¬ field were Paul Slahetka, 18 points, and Clessy Pratt, 13, who played a fine game. Greenfield High beat Turners Falls by a very decisive margin, 54-28, January 27, in Greenfield. Leading the scoring for the Green were Paul Slahetka, “Mr. Consistency,” who got 13 points, Kermie Hoar, 11 points, and Dick Fregeau and Bill Jarvis, who each scored 9 points. In a contest that was tense and thrilling from the start Greenfield handed the Holyoke Knights their first loss of the season 53-47 February 6, at G.H.S. Tbe game was as close as a game could be until the Greenfield quintet broke away in the third period. Even though the Green Wave was never behind, there were very few points separating the two teams for most of the game and sometimes the score was tied. Bill Jarvis with 20 points and all around spark did a terrific job for the Green Wave throughout the game as did the other members of tbe team. Kermie Hoar and Jack Curtiss, guarded Wey Dotson, Holyoke ace, terrifically. On offense “Slats” Slahetka scored 11 points and did a fine rebounding job, and Dick Fregeau played very hard as he always does. These games are certainly wonderful examples of excellent teamwork. This article was extracted from “The Exponent.” I N, r- s� S: JACK CURTIS STARTING FIVE PLUS TWO - ■_ PAUL SLAHETKA ' also co-captain, KERMIE HOAR JOHN POTTER DICK FREGEAU BILL JARVIS CLESS PRATT STARTING FIVE PLUS TWO The main nucleus of this year’s basketball team consisted of tbe starting five, Potter, Jarvis, Slahetka, Fregeau and Captain Hoar plus two consistent substitutes, Cless Pratt and junior, Jackie Curtiss. Coacb Danny Dyer varied his starting lineup at game time, but if and when be did, these two boys were called upon for the vacant spots. If a brief, but concise lineup were to be written of the team it would probably read as follows: “Captain Hoar . . . Tbis boy bas given Greenfield the defensive jockey it has often lacked. He was a fine floor leader and had the authority which was needed. Although he was never considered a top scorer, he made up for this in the rebounding department. He often quelled an enemy advance with his deadly foul shooting. Paul “Slats” Slatheka . . . Butch, playing in his second year of varsity competition, had a fine season. A very consistent scorer, his average being between 12 and 13, Paul jed many fast breaks which contributed to the varied G.H.S. scoring attack. One of the “coolest” foul line artists since Pervere, “Slats” was quite often marvelled at while on the charity stripe. John Potter . . . John was the aggressive ball-hawk who aided Greenfield High so much this year. The big pivot man rebounded and booked, as many of the high school greats. John controlled the opposing boards, not because of his height, but because of his powerful legs which enabled him to outj ump and out¬ reach his taller opponents. Billy Jarvis ... all eyes were fixed upon Bill this year to see how he could make the jump from J.V. to Varsity competition. Well, Bill did it magnificently. He, along with Potter, made the second team, All-Western Massachusetts Basketball Squad. He always came through! Bill averaged close to 20 points for the last 5 or 6 games of the season. The “Jarvis” jump probably will be recorded in the minds of fans for years to come. Dick Fregeau . . . Fast, very fast! This represents Dick. A capable driver, Fregeau broke many games wide open with his mean, often startling lay-ups. He was always on one end of the fast-break combina¬ tion. Fregeau often fired his jump shot on a straight line with the basket, but how nice it was to see tliat ball suddenly drop when the basket was directly under it. Now for the two boys who contributed the most bench strength and added depth that Greenfield has lacked in recent past years. Cless Pratt . . . Cless was often called on to come off the bench often at decisive moments, and he reacted nicely to the varying situations. He won the home game with Westfield with time running out with his typical Pratt one-hander. This shot was seen often throughout the year. Jack Curtiss ... It took plenty of hard work, but Jack Curtiss broke into the lineup with tremendous promise. Curtiss developed a fine jump shot and became a fair ball-handler. Watch him next year! The G.H.S. basketball team of ’59 should be long remembered as a fighting team that caused the basketball fans at the high school to react with plenty of excitement and joy. mi §M pk m S$%- THE MOVE utm 7 ' ■: :i‘l m M Lf ‘ m M H9 V ' j .- S V G.H.S. WRESTLING TEAM One of the most fascinating sports that has grown very popular in the last few years has been wrestling, both professionally and in colleges. In 1959 wrestling was brought to G.H.S. for the first time. Under the direction of Mr. George Dyer the team practiced daily after school. Coach Dyer, a grad¬ uate of Springfield College, became a champion wrestler in his weight division during his senior year there. The wrestling team worked vigorously in the learning of different escapes and pinhold positions. The team was very young and inexperienced and a tremendous amount of work had to be done. However, the lads ' were very interested and their courage and spirits were high. The team planned four wrestling matches for this season. The matches included two bouts with Mahar Regional, one with Arms Academy, and the last with Mount Hermon School. It must be understood, how¬ ever. that the schools which G.H.S. wrestled had two and even three years experience. So, regardless of the victory outcomes, the boys art to be congratulated for their outstanding efforts. In a wrestling match the approximate weights of the contestants should be nearly the same. The follow¬ ing are the weight classes: 103 lbs.—F. O’Neil; II2 lbs.—C. Millett; 127 lbs.—D. Welcome; 134 lbs.— F. Remally; I4 d lbs.—J. Mayo, N. Graves, S. Pinter. R. Hicks; 155 lbs.—R. Phillips, C. Flo; 165 lbs.— John Sini. B. Barlow; Heavyweight or unlimited class—N. Salustri, S. Tower, M. Padadok, C. Podlesney, Joe Sini. J. Barlow. Coach Dyer would like to start a wrestling league which would include any school interested in the project. I niforms for the G.H.S. team will also be purchased. The newly formed wrestling squad at Greenfield High is only a forerunner of what is to come. Wrestling helps to build character and strong bodies. The bovs of Greenfield High’s first wrestling team can feel proud of a job well done. I 12 BASEBALL Early in the season this figured to he a prosperous year in the annals of G.H.S. hasehall history. The team, coached hy Stan Benjamin, was co¬ captained hy Clessy Pratt and Dick Lewis. The returnees from last year’s fine squad were both Pratt and Lewis who are three-year veterans and the fol¬ lowing: Ed Letourneau, John Kells, Jack Johnson, Jim Palin, Brian Graves, Jack Curtiss, Jim Waterman, Tom Smith, and Ernie Patnode. These car¬ ried the brunt of the attack. The pitch¬ ing problem was again present. The only two at first were Pratt and Water¬ man, with Jim having seen limited service. The infield was fairly well intact, but undoubtedly green. Johnson, Curtiss, Graves, and Kells were the tentative starters. The outfield, as usual, was fast as was the defensive stronghold. The right field was vacant, and had to be filled with an underclassman. With untold hard work and perserverance the squad was a respectable one. GOLF Whether the G.H.S. golf team beat Mohawk Meadows or the Greenfield Country Club, the boys mix pleasure with play. The only trouble is they don’t play for money! Mr. Boucher, the golf coach, who has had a number of fine golfers in recent years, looked toward a fine year this spring. The veterans returning with new irons and woods were “Driving” Tom Smith, Jim Edes, “Brother” Far¬ rell, Bill Jarvis, Dave Hutchinson, and John Ostrowski. Each year, as golf begins to spread among the area high schools as a team sport, there is a more compact schedule. However, the golfers did enter a number of invitational tournaments along with the limited nmnber of Valley League matches. 113 TENNIS The 1959 tennis team enjoyed another good season under the coaching of Mr. Ray Spencer. This year’s team was witliout the services of Paul MacDonald, last year’s number one man and Western Massachusetts champ; however, there were three very capable players returning this year, all of whom were undefeated last season. They were Brian Blassberg, Danny Brown, and Jim Johnson. These three players made up the main nucleus of the club. Also returning were Jim Neal, Ivan and Arnold Most, Ed Zak was a newcomer. The development of these players produced the needed depth in the club. All in all, it was another fine team for Coach Ray Spencer. TRACK Early in the season while in conference with Mr. Clough, Greenfield High School track coach, he seemed to feel that unless the prospective turnout was large the squad would be weak this year. With the loss of the three point-getters, MacDonald, Ozdarski, and Greene, plus the unfortunate loss of Dick White, a top 440 man, the team would not have any depth. However, he did feel that although the squad would be spread thin, there would be men in all events. Returning this season were Nick Salustri, the only fine dash-man; John Barlow, a rising miler; Boh Provost and Phil Lambert, weights and javelin respectively; and John Potter, the high-jumper and hurdle-man. Henry Burns had a fine stride for the 440-880 run. Mr. Clough hoped to arrange meets with schools other than the Valley league and Western Mass, teams and tournaments. He would like to see more dual meets between area schools. With the aid of a few key men, this year’s track team did a fine job and formed a concrete foundation on which to build ne xt year’s team. BASKETBALL The Team 116 VARSITY Fabulous! This is the one word that describes this year’s Greenfield High School girls’ basketball team. These girls were unbeaten all season. On top of being unbeaten in all their scheduled games, the girls went into the tournament al Grafton High School seeded as Number One, and came out the Champs. The team, led by Co-Captains Mary Ann Ozdarski and Peggy Dallas, showed more spirit and ag¬ gressiveness than any girls’ squad near here. This was proved at the Grafton tournament when four, of the seven girls picked for all-tourney team, were from G.H.S. They were “Ozzie,” “Peggy,” “Gretch” Flo, and the only sopho¬ more girl to make the first team, “Jan” Koch. We are very proud of the girls’ tremendous teamwork, spirit and skill that has proved to make a team successful. GRETCHEN FLO JANET PIONTEK JANET KOCH KATHY SACHSE JUDY MINER MOE CAREY CAROL HURLBURT BETTY HICKS 117 Miss Cappelluzzo has spent much time working with the girls at practices. We don’t think she minded, though, because they have been rewarded highly for the time they spent. Four girls from tliis honored team will not return next season. This could prove to be a great loss to the team. They are: MARY ANN OZDARSKI (Better known as “Ozzie.”) This is the 5’8”, blue-eyed girl who has led the team to victory since her sophomore year, is the best shot on the team, top scorer, and best ball handler G.H.S. has ever seen in a girl. Some girl will have to work mighty hard to fill the space that this girl has left. At the Grafton tournament “Ozzie” was awarded two trophies, one for the most valuable player and the other for the all-tourney team. She was also Co-Captain this year and her loss to the team will be greatly felt. PEGGY DALLAS Here is another outstanding starter who will graduate this year. Peggy, the other Co- Captain, has always been a good shooter and has given the team the extra spark they needed. Peg was always up ter those ever unportant rebounds and her quick thinking mind bought many baskets for the girls. She was also picked as a member of the all-tourney team. We also wish to congratula te Peg for another outstanding accomplishment this year. It is the first year she has not broken a pair of glasses! JAN PIONTEK The only guard that will leave is Jan, but her loss is one that will he greatly felt. This girl has a tremendous amount of fight in her and has been valuable to the squad as a defenseman. Hardly a game went by that the spectators didn’t see Jan bringing the ball to the offense. Scarcely did they not see her after rebounds or in a jump. This girl can readily be commended on her great sportsmanship and the “sneakers” she wears can he filled only by a girl with a lot of fight. JUDY MINER All teams have to draw the line somewhere on their starting six. This is the only reason that Judy did not go out at the start of games. As far as spirit and ability go, Judy proved that she had these in the games that she has played. Surely, she will be missed and her place as a strong reserve will be difficult to fill. However there are a few steady players that will return to lead G.H.S. to more victories. GRETCH FLO is the most promising member that will be returning. She has starred on the squad since her sophomore year and with her fight, spirit, and skill, she is sure to give the team plenty of spark. JAN KOCH, our young sophomore will also return next year. Have any of you missed seeing Jan leap into the air for rebounds? Don t miss her next year, then, because that kind of ability is necessary to any basketball squad. MOE CAREY should definitely return! Even though she didn’t see much action this season, we have a feeling that she surely will next year. The aggressiveness of this girl is highly recognized by many fans. We all agree that her return would be for the good of the team. BETTY HICKS, a valuable guard, should be another great asset. She has seen a lot of action this year and proved herself to be worthy of taking over the position again next year. Many others will be back to boom victories for Greenfield High. Others like Carol Hulburt, Carol Siren, and Kathie Sachse, helped the team out when they were given the chance. We wish to congratulate the entire varsity squad for their fabulous showing this year. It will be a long time before G.H.S. has another squad with the qualities of these girls. We also wish to say that we hope next year’s team will he as successful and to say that we wish them all the luck in the world. I 18 The members of the Junior Varsity girls basketball squad show much promise of success in the future. Although these girls didn’t measure up to the Varsity team, they won their share of games. The record of eight wins and three losses cannot be matched by many J.V. teams especially when the majority of players are sophomores. There are many of these girls who have an excellent chance of playing varsity next year. Two forwards who will definitely be recognized next year are Frannie Jarvis, who was top scorer, and Bonnie Pratt who was right behind her. JUNIOR VARSITY SOFTBALL Winning 5 and losing only 1 game, the G.H.S. girls’ softball team had a fairly good season in ’58. “Louie” Weld played an important role as catcher that year when Moe Carey crushed her finger in the Arms Academy game. Moe, who is 4’ 11”, can really throw to Mary Ann Ozdarski, the pitcher, and Maureen Sullivan, second baseman. Gretch Flo, who played first base, also showed great speed in throwing the ball. Barb Cote on third and Peggy Dallas at shortstop completed the infield. Judy Miner, Lois Budrewicz, and Linda Blake played the outfield. In reserve were Virginia Abbott and Judy Paulin, both out¬ fielders. We know the girls will have an excellent season this year and also in future years. 20 TENNIS Girls’ tennis had not been popular at G.H.S., but the girls have shown a greater interest in the past year under the skillful training of coach, Ray Spencer. The girls usually practiced on Saturday mornings or after school, but received more experience during the summer. The team did fairly well last year, but improved greatly this season. The following returned to the squad this year; Mary Ann Ozdarski, Peggy Dallas, Maryanne Milton, Julie Buraczynski, and Judy Miner. CLASS HISTORY “TO BE YOUNG AGAIN” “To be young again”—the words spoken by so many—yes, even us seniors! This takes us back to September 1946 when a class of uncertain kindergarteners began its first day of school. Yes, that class was ours! What were some of the incidents in our early studious careers which were to stir us after we departed the joyous halls of Four Corners, Conway Street, Holy Trinity, North Parish, Federal Street, Newton Street, Pierce Street, Green River, and Junior High?, Let’s go back—Let’s be young again! We see ourselves remembering those grammar school days, and how our only worries were making sure we had recess and how many spats we could win. FOUR CORNERS The first day at Four Comers was a glorious day of fighting over toys and pushing each other into the big red doll house. With everyone in the sandbox at once, we were surely a dirty crew when it was time to go home. After the first day things settled down to the quiet routine of making gingerbread men on paper. The first grade wasn’t much fun for Diane Van Valkenburg because she got spanked with a ruler almost every day for not doing her writing lessons. In the second grade Terry Robert and Gail Warren were thrilled by having the right to carry the queen’s train in the May Day program. Of course we will always remember our second grade teacher with the stern look and the dark black hair, who tried in vain to stop LeRoy Ames from eating paste. The third grade teacher will always be noted for her red checkered apron. She threatened to take Charlie Koch home in it once. While dancing in the third grade one ' day, Stephen Zanieski’s suspenders broke, and it was a lucky thing for him that he didn’t lose his pants. We will also remember the Friday after¬ noons, when every one was allowed to write on the blackboard. Betty Prentice had a crush on Byron Kurtgis in the third grade, and she had quite a time at that blackboard with him. Remember when Brian Graves had to sit in the wastebasket with a piece of gum stuck on his nose ? In the fourth grade Betty Prentice switched to Billy Jarvis, she was quite a little lover. The May Day exercises weren’t very boring for Terry Robert as we remember it, for she had to dance with a boy with poison ivy, and she didn’t dare touch him. The talent show in the fourth grade was quite a work of art, when Dale Benjamin and Gail Warren did dances, Jo Ann Ward played the piano, and Mildred Pruett played the accordion and got her skirt caught in it. In the fifth grade Charlie Koch was the devil of the class. The springtime was Charlie’s favorite time of the year. He came to school with all of his hair shaved off, looking like an escaped convict. We will always remember tbe many good times and different things that we had to do with Miss Lambert, the exchange teacher from Hawaii. We had an egg contest, and Gail Warren’s egg won the prize for the prettiest. That was quite a contest. For that May Day the class danced the hula to “My Yellow Ginger Lea in home-made costumes. Anne and Barb Tourtellotte and Dale Benjamin played paper dolls behind the desks. Ernie Richardson had quite a time during art sessions with Miss Sternberg. She just didn’t see any genius in his work. Andy Seremeth threw up all over Barb Tourtelotte’s Girl Scout uniform the day the man from Arcadia came. Barb never wore tbat uniform much after that. Everyone had to wait in the basement before going to class. The sixth grade with Mrs. Goodnow was the most memorable to every¬ one. She was a good sport, but we had our ups and downs. One day all the girls talked Mrs. Goodnow into jumping rope on the sidewalk with them. Remember how jealous you were. Dale, when Brian Graves gave his pickle pin to Barb after the fight for it? Diane Van Valkenberg supplied the class with reading material (movie magazines were quite the craze). Barbara Cote was the best kickball player at Four Corners. She could out-kick almost any boy up there. May Day was a beautiful, glorious day for Dale, our May Queen. Square Dancing was the highlight at Four Corners. Judy Savage had quite a time, though, the day the whole back of her dress came undone. Jo Ann Ward never had a’ day go by when she wasn’t sent out to look for her brother who was truant from school. CONWAY STREET SCHOOL Conway Street School was certainly a school of many happy incidents. Some of us can still remember Eddie Letourneau, bringing his little red wagon to school every day and giving all the girls a ride around the block. In kindergarten Jill Hayes was always picked on by Carolyne Zywna and Marion Nadeau, and they gave her the name of “Jill the pill.” One of the most mischievous boys was Bill Babcock. Knocking down doll houses and hiding basketball nets were his specialties. That’s not all! Bill always took his classmates home with him to show his turkeys. In second grade the teacher gave out butterscotch candies and called them pies. Whoever was good during the day could have one. Guess who always got one? Bonnie Cameron and Diane Bergeron. Oh, well, we all can’t be lucky. We can remember Paul Billings shooting his cap gun when he wasn’t sup¬ posed to, and having to go around to all his teachers to apologize. One of the highlights at Conway Street was the time we picked a Cinderella and a Prince Charming. Much to Clessie’s dismay, Kermie Hoar was chosen along with Bonnie Cameron. Bonnie was Clessie’s girl. Diane Bergeron, Barbara Hunt, and Barbara Sobieski spent all their recesses rimning around the school playing horses. HOLY TRINITY SCHOOL Thirty-five members of our Senior Class entered first grade at Holy Trinity School. On that memorable first day of school we can still see “Ed Zak” shedding a barrel of tears after his mother went home. In second grade we found a new talent among us, Maggie Killay, “The Whistler.” Jimmy Edes will never forget the day that “Regie” told the Sister she was sick at her stomach. Since the Sister didn’t believe her, Jimmy was the lucky one to receive the breakfast on his nice clean shirt. That year also brought the arrival of the pigtail spree with Terry Martino ahead by one inch followed closely by “Sweet Little Sul.” At the end of the race were Joanne DeNofrio and Karen Wood. Third grade brought the new enjoyment of birthday parties to all the classmates. (Getting ready for the BIG Senior parties.) During this year of school the brains of the class started working. A few of them, that is. A1 Tucker, Mike Buteau (better known as Beauty), the big “Dave” Kuzmeskus, Joe Mayo, and we mustn’t forget Professor Lambert. During 5tb grade, we all strengthened our vocal cords by joining the Church Choir. This also was the year that we lost our wonderful phonograph that we used to march in and out of school with. We sure missed it! As we look back on 6th grade, we can still remember the girls getting drooly-eyed over that handsome Franny Targhetta. Margy Lemay was the fortunate one to “hook’ him in eighth grade. Each girl remem¬ bers her first kiss at Regie’s Halloween Party. A brave boy in a little white jacket, named Dave Morrissey, ventured out and stopped all the traffic on Deerfield Street. As a result, the police joined our party. In this year. Veronica Massy received the nickname of Jelly Ball. Also, we lost one of the members of our class, Maryanne Willard. When looking back, we can still remember Sandy Harper, the first in our grade who ventured into the field of steady dating, because she picked the second “Jimmy Dean,” and all the girls were envious of her. D. J. is still making the wise cracks he did in H.T. Connie Lanoue will be remembered as the “Romeo” of our class. (Still is from what we see.) For our last and most memorable year. We’ll never forget our class picnic where our 8th grade boys beat the 7th grade boys by an enormous figure in baseball. Some of the members of this great team were: “Sketzy,” Skip Kempf, Bill Lawler, Jimmy Edes, Ed Zak, Pete Bresciano, and Joe Mayo. As we look back, we realize the answer to Ann Gagnon’s success in cheering (8th grade of course). She was the instructor of our cheering squad which consisted of: Ann, Kipi, Maggie, Sully, Margy, Terry, Regie. Also in 8th grade, we started our girl’s softball team. We’ll never forget the times “Slugger Ade¬ laide” got up to bat. Other members of that fabulous team were the punter, Denny Campbell, and the mighty catcher Anne Lawler, strike-out Terry Martino, and outfielder, Eva Wissman. These are just a few of the many members of that team. On April Fool’s Day, we’ll never forget “Charlie” Kempf as our leader in our escapades. He never owned up to it, however; it seemed all the girls got the blame. We can still remember “Beacon Lights.” Every year for 8 years our class participated in this show. It was just like a Broadway hit brought to the stage at Holy Trinity. In the 8th grade a dance was demonstrated by Karen, Margy Lemay, Mikie, Sandy Harper, accompanied by Connie Lanoue, Sketzie, Ed Zak, and John Broughan. One of the songs presented by a few members of our class was “When You Wore A Tulip,” done by Maggie, SuUy, and Regie. We can still remember graduation and the banquet where Kipi, SuUy, and Miki had their first ex¬ perience at public speaking. We now felt we were ready to face the big outside world and that wonderful place called G.H.S. NORTH PARISH In fourth grade the class went to Elorida Mountain where everyone either got lost, lost his lunch, or fell in the river. Many new romances were formed on the trip—Bonnie Cameron and Jane Savage took turns holding hands with Rip Shensky. At Christmastime in sixth grade. Miss Sessions had a very much treasured gum-drop tree. One noon hour Shirley Mason and Jane Savage gathered up an army which raided the gum drop tree and ate all the gum drops. The poor teacher went berserk when she saw her gum drops gone, and she made every¬ one pay 250 for each gum drop he had eaten. In fourth grade a new boy arrived who made quite a hit. His name was Jimmy Allison, and aU the girls immediately fell in love with him. After that, every day when he came to school he would announce the order of which girls he liked best that day. Jeanne Zywna was always first. The other girls, among them Shirley Mason, Bonnie Cameron, Jane Savage, Janie Cleary, June Williams, Marion Nadeau, Lois Budrewicz, and Kathy Sokolosky, being in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc., place. In the later years of North Parish, the “Koch Club” was formed. The membership varied slightly, but prominent members were Leslie Koch, Rip Shensky, Bradford Hulsander, Jimmy Allison (part of the time) and Joey Kazinski. Each boy had his girl which he jealously guarded—Leslie Koch had Bonnie Cameron part of the time and Shirley Mason the rest. Rip Shensky loved Jane Savage, Bradford H. was mad about Marion Nadeau, and Joey K. liked Shirley Mason. (The times when Leslie didn’t.) FEDERAL STREET SCHOOL Now let’s take a look at the darlings from Eederal Street School. First of all, we can remember Tanya Maniatty and Janie Wainshal appearing in the court of the May Day ceremony. That was one of those hilarious days when Gina Parrott went bounding into the classroom, caught her new short skirt on the side of a desk, and tore tlie whole bottom rim off. Remember all those Sharp-shooters” in marbles? Some of the experts were Danny Brown, Fabian Trudeau, Jim Cleary, and Brian Blassberg. Jim Cleary sure was a stinker on no “nudges.” One of tbe events we’ll never forget at dear old Federal St. School was our game of kick-ball with the School St. School. Dan Brown and Steve Sinclair were the ones who kicked the ball clear over the band¬ stand. You realize, of course, that this had never happened before. They were truly “our heroes!” A so-called favorite sport of the more daring boys like Bob Wolanske, John Chapin, Fabian Trudeau, and Jeffrey (pie face) Arthur was to chase the girls around the school building in an attempt to kiss them. We’ll never forget when Louella Weld got caught in a corner. Remember the time Fabian Trudeau finally caught up with Speedy Wainshal and got slapped in the face! Now who was that small boy in the blue sailor suit every day? That’s right, none other than Dennis La Shier. He was also the boy who passed out the milk and crackers every day. In 5th grade, the whole class made a visit to Miss Mason’s piano almost every day to sing. Some of the better, but still squeaky, voices were Maryann Milton, Nancy Rice, and Beverly Quick. Speaking of Bev, sbe bad the longest pigtails. We remember tbe boys, pulling them all the time. Poor Bev. By the way, what happened to those pigtails? Did the boys pull them off? Mr. Forrest, our 6th grade teacher was every girl’s “dream boat.” Remember the gal who kept all us kids supplied with candy? Judy Miner sure had us all drooling . . . Another particular that came about in 6th grade was the boys and girls attending Richardson’s Ball Room Dancing. Girls, do you remember when Barb Tourtellotte won the fingernail contest? The fact that she was our rival from another school made us furious ... At the final dance of the year, who should appear but two lovely girls dressed in identical gowns. It’s a wonder Janie Wainshal and Gina Parrott weren’t tearing at each other’s throats. Oh, well, spilled blood doesn’t look good. So much for the escapades of our classmates who stem from Federal St. School. NEWTON STREET SCHOOL September of 1946 started a dark year for Miss Labeau. of Newton St. School, when in dragged our fabulous kindergarten class along with the shy, fabulous, Nickie Salustri, and the talkative and friendly Sue Lyman. We had many an exciting day waiting for recess, to indulge in our Ritz Crackers and milk. One of our favorite games was “The Three Billy Goats Gruff.” As we pranced over the tables that served as a bridge we would hear a voice from beneath. This was the voice of the troll, which was proudly played by Larry Attesi, the envy of Eabian Trudeau. Then came the big promotion of our lives—into the first grade. Miss Purrington took over the task of tr)ing to teach us. Dickie Baker remembers well her fine methods of teaching. Do you still have a piece of that ruler she broke over your head, Dick? Most humorous and trying was the first day she tried to teach us to sing. Under the direction of Paul Wondoloski, we all became expert noise makers! After several attempts to teach us singing, reading, writing, manners, behavior etc., we were pushed to another teacher known as Miss Wright. This started a third year of fun in our lives. By then we were well educated children. Miss Wright was pursued by all the boys. By the way, which one of you Romeos sent her that broken bottle of Evening in Paris for Christmas? I’ll still say it was Skipper Hammond. Seeing Miss Purrington’s unsuccessful efforts to teach us to sing. Miss Wright decided she should try her luck at teaching us to dance. Then the real fun began. We not onl) ' ended up with the wrong partners, but we also ended up in a different ‘♦ ' t! After two weeks had passed, we finally learned a dance or two. Perhaps we might have learned sooner if the girls uere chosen, but instead the girls chose the boys. Louie Green was always mailed. After learning to dance, we moved to the tliird grade. By then, we could all sign our names with an X, and we knew how to square dance, too! We began to learn another art. The art of love!! The teacher was, who else? Donnie Clark. It was at that time that Gail Burnside came to us from Ohio and swept him off his feet. She almost fell off her broom doing it, but she did! The rest of the girls were depressed, and under the influence of Marty Washer and Pat Flavin, decided to join the Navy. Yes, the Navy, not the foreign legion. This fad lasted until Peter Koch decided that he would like to marry Marty Washer. Marty didn’t object so our plans for the Navy were diminished. Instead, we all wanted to be brides. After a long hard year, we entered the fourth grade. We had an addition to the “gang.” Tall, dark, and handsome Kimball Estes. We all enjoyed the science lectures by Mr. Wood every Tuesday afternoon. We then had our first lesson about birds. Our trip to Arcadia was one to remember. Dickie Fregeau lost his way in the woods, and Freddy Becklo got so interested in the birds that he forgot about the bus and we almost took off without him. Things went well with dancing, but there was a little trouble in the record department. While chang¬ ing the needle of the record player, Skipped Hammond accidentally put his finger on the electric part of the victrola. Our dancing was interrupted by his screams and shaking. That wasn’t the only mishap. David Ball finished the year with a hole in his head caused by an arrow that was shot by his brother. We finally got what the class needed the most. A good singer, Judy Paulin. From then on we had one asset. Eddie Fetourneau’s hobby was drinking ink. That’s o.k., Ed, Wallace Reddy used to eat paste. Finda Grotto was another asset to the class. It was in the fifth grade that she tried a new recipe for fudge. Everything was fine except it didn’t harden. Are you sure you put it in the oven, Finda? Well, it didn’t go to waste. We used it for glue. On to the sixth and final year. This was a year vivid in the mind of all of us. The most exciting and profitable event was coming. What was it? The Newton Street Fair. All grades were requested to bring in old jewelry, clothing, magazines and everything except the Russian Newspaper to be sold. The profits were to take the 6th graders to see Forest Park in Springfield. At that time three hard-working volunteers offered their services at the ice cream booth. This had been until that year, the most profitable booth. These volunteers were Joyce Turner, Sheila Panek, and Pat Flavin. AU would have gone fine except for the fact that none of these intelligent people knew how to make change. They put on a good display when a lady came and bought three dixie cups, she gave the girls two quarters and the girls gave the lady back eight dimes and seven nickels. Soon the whole town of Greenfield was at the ice cream booth to see how much money they could make. Not knowing this fact. Miss Carney, the sixth grade teacher, was jump¬ ing with joy at the smashing business the class was doing. The next day, when she made out a profit and loss summary, she was jumping alright, but not for joy. There was another important event, the day the girls played Bement School in softball. Bement bad never been beaten, so we had to work fast. We finally found a solution. We decided that since Ozzie, Janet Piontek and Sheila Panek were the only ones who could hit home runs, they would be the only ones who went up to oat. While the rest of us stood in line like mummys, our batting line-up went something like, Ozzie, Jan, Sheila, Ozzie, Jan, and Sheila, Ozzie, Jan and Sheila. By the time Bement noticed, we were so far ahead they couldn t have won even with Babe Rutb! We weren’t cheating. We just were a little crooked. And so the conclusion of our happy days at Newton, some of the most memorable days of our life, came to an end. PIERCE STREET Kindergarten was an eventful year at Pierce Street school. It was the start of Gina Parrott’s great art career. She was chosen for coloring the best red circle of the year. Rest periods were a must for all the 1 ierce Street j oungsters. Out came the rugs and time to lie down, although Jimmy Palmer just couldn’t stand to lie in one place for two minutes. Sandy Sicard still swears that her mouth was not taped for talking out. She says she never speaks out of turn. 26 Second grade was a year of catastrophes. Jerry Balser, with great embarrassment wet his pants in school; he just didn’t dare ask permission to leave the class. Although Marcia Mowry broke her arm, she didn’t stop from having fun. The worry of the class was that Anne and Barb Tourtellotte didn’t have middle names. After much thought, they were christened Ann Elizabeth and Barbara Jane by their classmates. Square dancing was the main attraction to the third graders. Bill Bassett, Jackie Johnson and Jimmy Waterman, Billy Jarvis and Dick Lewis were the boys who just couldn’t wait to get partners. In fact, they usually ended up dancing together! GREEN RIVER Oh, those days at Green River—When Sandy Baltzer, Judy Bedaw, and the rest of the girls (and some of the boys) played paper dolls in class. They certainly were hectic and fun filled. We can’t forget when John Mushovic (that English whiz) and Larry Attesi (the class mathematician) chased the girls around the entire building before and after school while Erank Pelis, John Bristol and Dee Dee Laskoski en¬ deavored to find a way of catching our teacher while she was supposed to be on an errand. Do re¬ member Dot Stahelek’s and Penny Smith’s fights to and from school. The weapons were any instru¬ ments available ranging from fists to umbrellas. Sandy Waite and Butch Slahetka watched with awe¬ struck expressions. Joe Winseck and Tom Kirejczyk were the most successful square dancers—they sent the girls running back to their seats. Poor Phyllis Meier had to cope with the braid pullers every day. Ah, to be back in our “hide and seek” and “sliding without sled” days. We’re sorry to see them gone. We certainly will look back on these days as the best ever. JUNIOR HIGH Gosh! How we thought we were getting big! We were now in 7th grade—the grade in which all the grammar schools gathered. There seems to be one thing we hated about 7th grade—the walking to the eighth grade building for phys. ed., shop, household arts, and assemblies during the rainy, snowy, and cold days. But, during the sunny autumn and spring days we loved those walks. We always had an excuse for being late for our next class. In the 8th grade we began to organize. We started an interest in sports and spirit which would forever remain with us. Although our cheerleaders, which included Penny Smith, Sheila Panek, Gina Parrott, Bonnie Cameron, Jane Wainshal, Carolyne Zywna, Shirley Mason, Gail Warren, Linda Grotto, and Barb Tourtellotte, cheered their best, our football team had a poor season. In fact, we Lost every game. I remember the game at Deerfield, when Charlie Koch ran the wrong way for a touchdown, but made-up for it when he scored our only touchdown of the season later in that game. That was the year girls began to recognize hoys as hoys and vice-versa. All the girls had their chance at the Sadie JRawkins dance, and we also began to shine in the way of class dances, for we held the “Crystal Ball” which was the beginning of our ability to hold successful class dances. Bonnie Cameron was elected our queen with Donna Cousino, Carolyne Zywna, Shirley Mason and Penny Smith as members of her court. We’ll never forget St. Pat¬ rick’s day of that year! In Miss Manning’s room at 2:00 we all got up with our green hats and horns to celebrate the occasion. We walked around the room and sang Irish songs. Then to our dismay, we had to sign our names on the hoard and got “bawled out.” I guess the season was against us, and Jim Cleary was her favorite student, n’est-ce pas? The ninth grade started with new friends and ac(|uaintances. Holy Trinity graduates finally joined us, and we were glad to have them. This was the year that Margie Conn stole her water gun back from Mr. Murphy’s desk. In the investigation no one knew who took it. But, we do now! When the frog jumped from the hands of Leroy Ames into Miss ' Silva’s face, we thought we would see the end of a classmate! Danny Brown had a swell part in our Latin Play-—he was a cow! During a game of baseball in the junior high yard, we were certainly surprised to see Albert Tucker with his elastic-waisted pants down to his ankles. Our class again showed its ingenuity with our talent show, and Miss Harvey’s style show. For those who wondered what a group of old maids do to make life interesting, the Variety Club offered “Waiting for the Male” which included Linda Grotto, Margie Conn, Marcia Mowry, Sheila Panek, Louella Weld, Tanya Manniatty, Jane Wainshal, Mildred Pruett with the help of June Williams and Jan Glabach. We also held another play called “Shy Charlie.” This play starred Brian Graves, Marge Conn, Ed Ham¬ mond, Louella Weld, June Williams and Sheila Panek, with Pat Flavin as Mistress of Ceremonies. By the way, none of us ever beheved Skipper was shy anyway! During that year. Sue Lyman punched Paul Billings and made him cry. We also can hear the screams of all the girls when they thought Don Clark was dead—he received his first polio shot and fainted. While we were studying in Mrs. Merritt’s room, we heard- a terrific thud. As we looked up from our desks, no teacher was to be seen. Then, arm by arm, we spied the look of a surprised teacher. Poor soul, she had fallen out of her chair because she leaned back too far. No one dared to help her. This was the end of our superiority in the junior high. We departed a little sad, but the thoughts of the high school thrilled us. HIGH SCHOOL Ending our junior high and grammar school days, we found ourselves as squeamish sophomores. Since our new teachers and upperclassmen kept us in constant surveillance, we strove to implant high ideals and make firm impressions. In fact most of us had implicit obedience! Not for long, however, for the desire to meet new friends overwhelmed us, we just had to talk—had to prove to the upperclassmen that we were “good kids.” Much to our dismay, the pink slips came. Our sophomore year was certainly happy! We began to have class parties and loved to have the upper¬ classmen “crash” them. Our impishness from our previous grades still remained, one fact being Kipi and Regie with their shaving cream on Halloween. That was really the Halloween! With freckled cheeks, lip- sticked noses, straw hats, cigars, witches, doughnuts, and punch, the Exponent held a spectacular “hop.” We can still see the green-faced Nick Salustri—those corncob pipes are “for the birds!” Our first dance at the high school was beautifully decorated. Zealously putting the flowers on the basketball net, Carolyn Davis decided to climb up on the bar where her finishing touches were made. When attempting to climb down the same ladder she had used to get up, her mouth fell four inches and she screeched a frightened sound, heard for miles—Paul Billings had mistakenly taken the ladder away! Between our Latin and Erench, we were so confused we began scrambling with our first taste of honest- to goodness homework. Besides being studious, (himum?) we joined Mr. Weymouth’s square dancing club. Those boys! They always wanted to swing their partners so darn high—only to see the various petticoats, too! By September 1957, we had adjusted ourselves to G.H.S. That is, the beloved building which had served many a proud class before us. Our vivacity was always strong. We, the class of ’59, had many successful events in our junior year. We had two junior plays under the direction of Miss Congdon. One was an all girl cast which included Jane Wainshal, Marge Conn, Millie Pruett, Sheila Panek and Veronica Massey. That ear-phone of Millie’s was the topic of conversation for days. The other play starred Brian Graves, Jim Edes, Ed Hammond, Dan Brown and (a girl! ) Bonnie Cameron. That Skipper, he always seemed to get the girl in the play— in real life—well, that’s another story. The profit on our Thanksgiving Day class dance surpassed that of prior years. Our band was highly praised during the annual Spring Festival. This fact made us proud of our hard working musical group. This was also the year that the ALL-AMERICAN CAMP at Brighton, Michigan, informed Greenfield High School that its cheerleaders won top spot in a national p roxy tournament. Congratulations! Many of our classmates played varsity sports. If we are ever to forget the spirit and perfection of Ozzie, Heaven forbid! The girls also exhibited talent in field hockey. Remember, men, don’t ever think that this sport isn’t rugged, for those black and blue marks on our knees weren’t for looks! We had mingled our senses, and were beginning to realize we had minds of our own. Linda, Millie, and Veronica showed their brilliance by being assistant editors of our Exponent. We began to love our G.H.S. and became saddened at the thought of leaving her to join the new building. We thought we would make the best of our last year. Junior parties sprang out. Those dark circles under the eyes of many of our girls were from only one thing—our many pajama parties. The summer before our senior year was quite eventful. One of our beloved classmates was moving. Thus we decided to give Bev Wilkins a surprise going away party. The classmates contributed to give her a piece of luggage. Each boy received a good-bye kiss and our first honest to goodness senior party began. After this party everyone got in a party mood and decided to have another one. The girls brought lunches and marshmallows and the boys brought wood and themselves. It finally came . . . our senior year. We were thrilled not only at the thought of being seniors but the new high school presented some enthu¬ siasm. The senior parties began . . . and it seemed we would have them every Saturday night. One memorable party was held by the Bachelors’ Club. We went on an excursion of the town, and by the way Joey, we never knew the British had their pants pressed at the Royl Cleaners. As we sat around our campfire, we heard the embers sizzling, wait!! Those were the soles of Brian’s shoes. As seniors we felt a definite sense of superiority. In trying to show this newly found power, we made a desperate grab for the separate lunch room. The opposition, determined at first, quietly gave in. The seniors had scored a victory. About this time, the student body participated in strike. The lunches in the cafeteria being the cause, opposed by everyone except the students, it lasted a very short time. We did, however, get back our well¬ loved cup cakes, so everyone was happy. Halloween came. Realizing it would be the last one we would celebrate together, everyone decided to have a good time. It ended with about five cars of fun lovers following each other. Oh, well, Halloween is for “youngsters” anyway. In the middle of the year one of our classmates, Dickie White, was injured during phys. ed. He spent a few months in the hospital much to the sorrow of his classmates. The Senior class sponsored a Sadie Hawkins dance. The girls were pleased with the idea. Some of the boys were a little frightened with the idea of being asked. We wiU always remember the times at G.H.S.—both good and bad. They were part of growing up and thus an important part in each of our lives. As seniors, we long to return to the days of childhood. Yet, we realize we are in the primes of our lives. We thank thee, beloved Alma Mater, for the benefits received by all of us! Thus, the history of our class as a unit ends . . . and begins as we now take our own separate way along that road . . . that road of our success. As we close, we graduate With our eyes toward God and fate. But as the years continue by, We shall always visualize The happy days at G.H.S. Our class of ’59 was best!!!
