Besides the everyday duties of the officers they also participated in many other activities. Don Cash was elected Good Government Day Representative for 1960. He was also a guard on the Varsity Basketball Team and played second base for the Varsity Baseball Team. Jim Palin did an excellent job as linebacker for the Football Team. Besides play¬ ing football, Jim played Basketball and Baseball and was a member of the Ex¬ ponent. Jimmy is well known throughout the school. Veronica Buteau was a team captain during our Senior Play Ticket Drive and volunteered her services as an usherette at the play. Ronnie is a jovial and well- liked person around G.H.S. Juli Buraczynski was a Tennis Team member and an avid fan of all G.H.S. sports. Juli is best known for playing the piano at assemblies, rallies, and special occasions at G.H.S. Besides these accomplishments, Juli was an honor student excelling in everything she did. The officers set up a Scholarship and Prize Money Fund from the proceeds of the Senior Play and also advised and headed the Yearbook Staff with the help of the Yearbook Editor, Carolyn Hahn. The Senior Class Officers would like to express their thanks to Mr. Cox for his patience and understanding in helping with the problems of the Senior Class.

Her court consisted of Joyce White, Joan Wallace, Merilee Carlson, and Sylvia Seibert, who with Sis directed the sale of tickets during the previous weeks and did so much to make Booster Day a success. Sis was crowned at a rally in the auditorium the previous night and was pre¬ sented many gifts from the local merchants; she and her court also received some very beautiful gifts from the Exchange Club, which sponsors the annual event. Entertainment for the rally was provided by several members of the student body; and speakers for the night were Mr. Casey, Stan Benjamin, John Quadrino, Master of Ceremonies, and Frank P. Birt, Exchange Club president. The girls had spent a royal week, with television and radio appearances, a tour of Lunt Silversmiths, and an appearance at the Exchange Club meeting offering them many new and exciting experiences. The highlight of the week was the Saturday football game with Agawam, where Sis and her court were presented to the spectators in a new white convertible, loaned by Don Lorenz, Inc. The Greenie football squad then presented the queen her best present—a win over Agawam. fl 3 I960 OLDSMOBILE Se a M JP l0KEH1 •- | nSS- - ' f £ j ' ' ' ' ; t 1 | WSgl ,, 3i frj J ' ..i y MjaEji : i Julianne Bu Most Athletic Gretchen Flo John Potter David Hutchinson ' r4 Carole Paquette V- ' ' . A 3-RCT COMEDY Dear Diary, Golly! I sure am tired. After last night ' s performance of Big Hearted Herbert we all went out to Cricket Robert ' s house for a senior party. What fun! As for the play, it was just great. You know, if I were writing a dictionary, Big Hearted Herbert would be on the list of synonyms for SUCCESS. For that is exactly what the play was. Those six long weeks of practicing, memorizing, and all were so worth it. But it ' s too bad that everyone can ' t know the play as thoroughly as the cast. Mistakes and incidents at rehearsals—and believe me, there were many—were some of the best and funniest moments for the cast. I ' ll never forget the first time we saw Moe Carey and Carolyn Hahn trying to walk in their old-fashioned shoes. And Moe with her nylons rolled down around her ankles! How we laughed! No doubt, everyone will remember dress rehearsal and the pie. We had gone all through Act III perfectly and then Merilee Carlson started serving apple pie. Rather, I should have said tried to serve pie, for it wouldn ' t come out of the tin. She had to chop it out. Poor Mer! Then there ' s the first time we used the telephone. Nancy Fiske and Jimmy Gallagher just couldn ' t catch on to how a phone of the 30 ' s worked. At one part, Nancy was supposed to place the mouth piece against her stomach. Did she do it? I should say! She nearly knocked her wind out. Have you ever tried to act out an argument with a good friend? Well, that ' s the problem Jack Curtiss and Jim Shortell had to face. And what a problem! They had a terrific time trying not to laugh. There are other memories for us—Gretchen Flo ' s trouble with the word just (she wanted to say jest ) and her cast party Friday night; the embarrassment of everyone who had to kiss someone; Merilee and Shorty and their embrace; how Teresa Arena, Dick White, and John Fiske fit their parts so well; and how Judy McAuliffe ' s hair looked so pretty in a style worn by the Boston aristocracy of the 30 ' s. I ' m sure the success of our play is partl y due to the fact that Cricket Roberts found a family of crickets at one rehearsal. You remember the saying, If you find a cricket, you ' ll have good luck. It certainly came true in our case. Miss Congdon was surely patient with us. She had to put up with a lot. And after the final rehearsal she had a party for us. She surely is swell. I guess I ' ll close now. I ' m very tired and plan to take a long nap.

The Stage Crew 76 THE CAST Congratulations, on the fine performance of the Senior Play Cast in presenting Big Hearted Herbert, a three-act comedy, di¬ rected by Miss Marion L. Congdon. Jack Curtiss, played to perfection the part of a grouchy busi¬ nessman, who didn ' t understand that a family wasn ' t run like his factory, nor that times are not the same as they were when he was a boy. Terrific work, Jack!!! His wife, convincingly played by Carolyn Hahn, was quite the patient, understanding, loving wife who tried desperately to rea¬ son with every member of the Kalness Family. Good work, Carolyn!!! Junior, realistically played by James Gallagher, was quite the self-determined son despite his father ' s roof-raising, stubborn temper; while his two sisters, Alice, delightfully played by Merilee Carlson, and Roberta, the younger daughter, played by Nancy Fiske, added much humor and seriousness to the Kalness Family. Martha, a very devoted dayworker for the Kalness family, was played by Maureen Carey, a very comical personality. The Goodriches, played by James Shortell, Judith McAuliffe, and Richard White, all of whom portrayed the part of the wealthy Boston Aristocrats, provided the dramatic conflict. The Havens were played by Theresa Arena and Norman Rob¬ erts, who were one of Big Hearted Herbert ' s preferred customers. Last, but not least, were the Lawrences, the favorite Aunt and Uncle of the Kalness children, played by Gretchen Flo and John Fiske, who also added much spice to the play. The costumes were realistic copies of those worn in the early thirties. The viewers of Big Hearted Herbert wish to say that the play was a big success and that it was very well acted by all the cast members and was enjoyed by everyone. 78 The four junior officers this year were DICK PHILLIPS, president; JANET KOCH, vice-president; PAM SEVERENCE, secretary; and JOANNE CONDRASKI, treasurer. They each have varied interests. People must trust Joanne with money because she is also treasurer of her home¬ room and of her Tri-Hi-Y. She is also a member of the Junior Classical League. Janet was an important member of the girls ' basketball team, sang in the glee club, and was a member of student council. Dick played football, ran with the track team, played park and church-league basketball, was a member of student council, and sang in the glee club. This year Pam concentrated on being a good secretary, but for variety she did a little knitting on the side. The big junior project this year was the Junior Prom. Through the efforts of many, many people it was very successful. This was Mr. Murphy ' s first year as a guidance counselor, and he did a mar¬ velous job. He could always find time to help the juniors with the Prom even though he was usually very busy. The juniors would also like to thank Mrs. Murphy for the help she must have given Mr. Murphy when junior problems were at their worst.

Dick Ballou is a good example of an all-around boy. He has played football as a guard this past year. Dick is scholastically as well as athletically capable. He has achieved highest honors in his grades. He is also a member of the Student Council. Sue West is an active vice-president of the sophomore class. She is a member of both the Student Council and the Junior Classical League. Although this was Sue ' s first year on the Girls ' Junior Varsity Basketball Team, she has played outstandingly well. Besides all these activities she has found time to be on the honor roll with highest honors. Kathy Stamas as secretary of the sophomore class has proved herself outstand¬ ingly successful. She has contributed her capabilities to the school newspaper The Exponent as a member of the business staff. Kathy was also a member of Delta Gamma Tri-Hi-Y which she served as chaplain. Jean Chabot, as treasurer of the sophomore class has important responsibilities. She served as treasurer of Delta Gamma Tri-Hi-Y. Also, Jean was a member of the Student Council and ' very actively contributed her abilities to the Junior Classical League. The main project of the sophomore class was the sponsorship of the Thanks¬ giving Dance. It was a complete success and we would like to thank all those who made the dance possible. The class of 1962 would like to express their appreciation to Mr. Dewyea for the help and guidance he has given. We couldn ' t have succeeded without his help. 91 Room 202 — Miss Cawler ■mu || g | g gg ffff 4 � w , J - 1 I || m§HM M- % b ' ifi : 4 mol i w 1 1 — Miss Qarbose Koom 209 ■ ; 95 ! ' Student Councit The student council is a very active school organization whose main purposes are to represent, promote the welfare of, and protect the rights of the students in Greenfield High School. The council is a place where any student or faculty stu¬ dent problems can be efficiently and democratically worked out. Mr. Thompson has served as advisor this year. This year the council adopted a new charter, which thoroughly defines the place of the student council in the school and the duties of its officers. This was a neces¬ sary and beneficial step, for the old charter was rather vague and left many points concerning the role of the council undefined. The council ' s main project this year was its efforts to bring back driver training classes to the curriculum. It also ran the concession booth at two football games, attended a conference at Cathedral High School, set up a new election system for council members and officers, and acted on many other measures proposed by students. The year was a successful one, which, with the setting up of the new election system, paved the way toward better and more democratic student government in the future. This year ' s officers are President-Jim Shortell; Vice-President-Don Cash; Secre¬ Dick Ballou Ron Kuzmeskus Fran Murphy Harold Patnode Vickie Smith Sue West Robert Handy Roger Kisloski tary—Betsy Asch; and Treasurer—Sue Graves.

President_ GRETCHEN FLO Vice-President _ CAROLYN HAHN Secretary _ FAYE CHABOT Treasurer - MARY LOU MANICA Zhe S. Mocking Wand What a year for the marching band! Completely separate from the concert band, it had a chance to increase its size by the addition of members to definite sections. Such a section was the drum section, where the tenor drums made a big hit with the school. Best known for its participation in the football games, the band spent many hours practicing routines. Other areas of participation were the parades and, of course, the music festival, which is always colorful and fun. MR. PERRY We seniors in the band feel that we have been very fortunate to have had Mr. Perry as our friend, teacher, and director during our band years. He is a very talented man who has done much to bring music more prominently into the school system. This year he was honored by be¬ ing chosen to direct the Western Massachusetts District Orchestra. Seniors BETTY HELEN FRITZ ELEANOR KATHY BARB 102 Concert Band The aims of the concert band are to give members experience in playing a variety of music, covering literature past and present, preparing of concerts and as¬ semblies, and to provide an opportunity for the development of skill in playing. Our concert band has tried hard to fulfill these aims, and has put on good as¬ semblies, worked hard for the Spring Concert, and has taped a radio program for WHAI. The fact that Betty Hicks,. Kathy Yobst, and Barb Fairbrother made All- State proves that these aims are being worked for. Band officers this year are Fritz Stadig—President, Kathy Yobst—Secretary, Eleanor Haskins—Treasurer, Betty Hicks—Vice-President in charge of music, and Ralph Mogelski—Vice-President in charge of instruments.

Bev Behilo, Marilyn Jurgelionis, Kathy Lilly, Joanne Letourneau. The twirlers compose one of the various units of Greenfield High School which are highly regarded for their tremendous spirit. These girls, representatives of the school, are top performers at every football game and parade. To display great skill, the twirlers must practice many hours. Their enthusiasm even extends to policing up during summer vacation. During this time new routines and marches are decided upon for the forthcoming fair and fall football games. At the close of last summer, the girls sponsored a rummage sale to help pay for their dashing new uniforms. Special credit is due to the twirlers for splendid performances at the Thanksgiv¬ ing Day game and at the Music Festival in Orange. 104 Zke Cheerleaders Left to right: Gail Clifford, Babs LaPointe, Franny Jarvis, Polly Grader, Capt. Carole Paquette, Joyce White, Joan Lovett, Barbara Moore, Sandy Heald. It is the duty of a cheerleader to maintain school spirit among the students. The squad of 1959-1960 has done just that. The girls practiced during the summer months on the average of four hours per week, not to mention the time and effort they have spent this school year in boosting the spirit of G.H.S. In addition to cheering at football and basketball games, the team also took charge of the food booth at one of the games, and sponsored their annual dance, SPIRIT SPEC¬ TACULAR. The girls took part in the South Deerfield tournament and the cheering tournament at Spencer in April. They also participated in the Music Festival, various assembly programs, and the Franklin County Fair. 105 Zhe Qlee Club , ! i The long-standing singing organization is flourishing this year under the guid¬ ance of a new director, Mr. Armen Milton. The Glee Club rehearses every Thurs¬ day night with attendance numbering forty or more. From these rehearsals has come the excellent Christmas concerts, both for the school and public, and an ap¬ pearance at the Spring Music Festival at Orange in May. Students that attend gain a knowledge of music and enjoy themselves. 106 mmmmrnm ■ ■■■ ' -- ■ v ■-- Zke Singers A small group of girls known as The Singers meet every Wednesday after school in the school ' s library conference room. The Singers are under the direction of Miss Marion Congdon, school librarian and dramatic coach. The girls practice faithfully and memorize their music. This group works on both sacred and secular music. At the present the selections are in keeping with Saint Patrick ' s Day. The Singers hope to make an appearance in a school assembly. Members of the group get special help in sight-reading. Each one must be able to read music well, stay on pitch, and do solo parts. Voices must blend in harmony. The group of Singers is comprised of sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Mure Zeaekers of America The Greenfield branch of the Future Teachers of America Club is named after Benjamin C. L. Sander because of the excellent example he was of the teaching profession. Although the club was started last year, this year was the first it ac¬ tually functioned as a club. The object of the club is to help students decide whether c r not they really want to really go into teaching, and if they do, to help them find out as much as pos¬ sible about the teaching profession. Their main project was a bookstore in the lobby of the auditorium. The books to be sold were chosen by members of the faculty and officers of the club. Also included in the plans for the year was a visitation program, whereby seniors were allowed up to five days to visit a class of the age level they wished to teach. Speakers such as Mr. Porter and Mr. Ross Burns told of the various opportunities in teaching and the training required. Mr. Johnson, the advisor, keeps members aware of the qualifications for teaching. Officers for the year were: 1 JULI BURACZYNSKI GAIL CLIFFORD VALERIE BRUCE JANICE FRENCH ...

This year s staff has successfully maintained the high standards of past years, introduced new features, and retained the tra¬ ditional features. Among the new ones are: C ' FLOPPES FLOP, a satirical column, personalities of sports, and FASHION FLASH. The Exponent has been of great value to the students, because it has offered opportunities in many subjects. m 109 The Tri-Hi-Y is not an organization merely beneficial to the member, but also to the unfortunate. The girls have shown that they are true citizens by aiding an orphanage in Korea, by distributing toys at Christmas time to those without them, and by sponsoring a carnival for the purpose of raising money to establish edu¬ cational programs in Europe. Indeed, the Tri-Hi-Y members have exhibited true brotherhood through such kindness and generosity.

The main activities of the Hi-Y program this year were the annual Commencement Dance, the presentation of the Benjamin C. L. Sander Scholarship. In addition, Hi-Y passed out football programs for the Greenfield High School football squad, maintained a basketball team, and planned for an additional dance prior to the Commencement Dance.

Under the direc¬ tion of Mr. George Jonelunas, mathematics teacher at Greenfield High, the club practices every Wednesday from 2:45 to 4:00 in the afternoon at the Armory. Members try to perfect aim at 50-yard targets, which are approved by the Na¬ tional Rifle Association. The United States Government supplies the ammunition, and honors in this course are used as rank advancement for members who join a branch of the Armed Forces. Zhe Debating Club The Debating Club formed officially this year, when it received a charter from the Student Council, and participated in the Connecticut Valley Debating League. Although the members were not too successful in the lost and won column, they gained considerable amount of practice. The members have participated against all the schools in the valley. The active interest in debating that some students have shown has debating on the up swing throughout the nation.

By having parties such as Cupid ' s Capers the students have become acquainted with various Roman gods and goddesses, and Latin proverbs. Also, at Christmas time various Latin hymns and American Christmas tunes trans¬ lated into Latin are learned by the students. Through the assistance of such a jovial and understanding advisor as Miss Pierce, the members have learned to realize that a foreign languaae is not such an uninteresting subject to undertake. OFFICERS JIM SHORTELL ____ _ President MERILEE CARLSON _ Vice-President GAIL CLIFFORD _ Secretary CAPPY FINN _ Treasurer FOOTBRI I 5 Seniors CAPTAIN LOU BRESCIANO The team was led this season by Lou Bresciano, a 215-pound tackle, who gave strength to both the offensive and defensive lines. Lou did much of the vital blocking which led to Greenie touch¬ downs and played his best in the Turkey Game as he won the most valuable player award. JIM PALIN The only man on the squad this year with three varsity football letters to his credit was Jim Palin. Versatile Jim displayed ability at six different posi¬ tions but was best known for his excellent defen¬ sive work as a linebacker. Jake, as he was known to his teammates, played a sound defensive game at end. He also did fine work at offensive end, where he sparked the Greenfield passing attack. CECIL JACOBS John, a 6 ' 3 , 185-lb. end, broke his leg early in the season and saw limited action. When he did play, his solid offensive and defensive play did much to help the Greenie cause. Ernie showed his talents at both guard and end, and also did the team ' s punting. His fine blocking on offense and aggressiveness on defense were a great asset to the squad. ERNIE PATNODE TOM MURPHY Tom made up for his small size by his hard blocking and vicious tackling. He saw much ac¬ tion at both offensive center and as a defensive linebacker. BOB KOCH Bob, a rugged 170-lb. defensive halfback, was the mainstay of the Greenfield secondary. His fine defensive play and especially his powerful tackling often put an end to opponents ' drives. � QM.S. Jootball Although Greenfield was often on the losing side of the ledger in the 1959 football season, on several occasions they came through with the fighting spirit and determination that is characteristic of the. Greenfield teams and rolled on to victory. The Greenies got off to an explosive start by going into the Springfield Tech and Agawam games as the underdog and overpowering both by scores of 23-12 and 14-6. Greenfield ' s solid and alert defense closed the door on the Tech offense and on two occasions turned Tech ' s miscues into Greenfield touchdowns. Fran Murphy ' s outstanding running rounded out the Greenies ' scoring. The invincible Greenie defense, spearheaded by linebacker Jim Palin, held against mighty Agawam and provided Greenfield with a well-deserved win. The game featured an 88-yard kickoff return by Joe Smith and some fine blocking by Ernie Patnode and Tom Murphy. Greenfield did not fare so well in the hands of Chicopee, Westfield, and Holyoke. Neither the Greenfield offense or defense held up as well as expected, and the Greenies suffered three defeats in succession. Jootball The boys showed they still had the winning punch as they shut out the Cathe¬ dral Panthers 6-0. The soggy game at Vet ' s field was highlighted by Jack Hanley ' s 30-yard touchdown run and solid defensive play by all. The Greenies took two more on the chin as they succumbed to strong West- side and aggressive Northampton. Greenfield rounded out the season in top form by crushing Turners Falls by a 20-0 score. The traditional Turkey Game showed Greenfield superior in their offense as well as defense. The Greenies, led by Capt. Lou Bresciano, Bob Koch, and John Potter, held the Indians scoreless, as workhorse Fran Murphy and speedy Jack Hanley did the scoring. Spirit was high for both teams, as it is every year in this game, and Greenfield fans had a chance to see their team in one of their best performances of the year. •m basketball Basketball is a sport that demands hard work and confidence. Each year Coach Daniel Dyer inspires his players with both these fine qualities that enable Green¬ field teams to win more than a share of their games. This year Greenfield was blessed with much height and good shooting. Even with these fine traits, however, G.H.S. lacked a substantial defense. Yet, as in years past, constant work and practice gave the Green Wave Courtmen a credit¬ able defense. During the year Greenfield averaged around 55 points scoring while giving their opponents an average of only 43. Coach Dan Dyer had ample help from Green¬ field ' s Captain for the 1959-60 year, John Potter. John has been playing center at G.H.S. for three years, and last year he received the honor of be¬ ing named to the All-Western Massachusetts team. He has great spring in his legs, and long arms that have given him a definite advantage over most of his opponents. During his high school ca¬ reer, he was rarely out-rebounded. His determina¬ tion to give Greenfield a respectable team in¬ spired many of his teammates. 124 Season ’$ Migblights Greenfield opened its 1959-60 Valley League season on January 5 with a 46-32 victory over arch-rival Turners Falls. In this first Valley league contest, Potter sparked Greenfield with his re¬ bounding, and finished as high scorer with 15 points. In their second encounter Greenfield defeated West Springfield 47-42 with the aid of some accurate foul shooting in the final few minutes. Jim Shortell ' s two clutch baskets broke a 40-40 tie, and gave him 20 points for a fine night ' s work. On Friday, January 15, in its first home game in the Valley league, Greenfield put on a fine shooting display to defeat Westfield, 65-42. Shortell and Jack Curtiss tied for top scoring honors with 16 points apiece. In a contest that was close all the way, Greenfield won its fourth straight 42-40 over an upset- minded Holyoke Catholic team. Once again Shortell led Greenfield with 15 points. On January 19, Greenfield lost its first Valley League game to a classy Holyoke team 75-58. Holyoke ' s fast breaking in the third period broke up a close halftime score. Curtiss and Potter led Greenfield with 20 and 13 points respectively. With two losses in a row to Holyoke and Northampton, Greenfield rebounded well to defeat Chicopee, 66-51, with a sizzling second half. Trailing 27-24 at halftime, Greenfield outscored Chicopee, 42-21 in the last half. Shortell with 18 and Potter with 17, and the work of both Wood and Potter on rebounds were the difference for Greenfield. For the second time imthe season, the Greenfield High school quintet downed Turners Falls again, 67-30. With Potter scoring 27 points and grabbing 41 rebounds, Turners Falls was never in the game. With only a six-point difference over West Springfield in the third quarter, Greenfield won its third straight game, with some accurate shooting. John Wood, contributing two vital baskets during that third period, led all scorers with 17 points. Greenfield made its eight victories in their last ten starts with a 78-53 victory over Westfield. Hitting 46% of their shots, Greenfield put on an awesome shooting display. This was perhaps Greenfield ' s best game of the year. The scoring was well balanced with 4 starters hitting double figures for 71 of the 78 points. Shortell was high scorer with 20, while Potter with 18, Wood with 17, and Curtiss with 16 were close behind.

Those on the team that were not pictured on the preceeding page were Ernie Patnode, Don Cash, and David Hutchinson. Perhaps if a lineup were made up, it would read as follows: CAPTAIN JOHN POTTER—Because of his great agility, John has been carrying the bulk of rebounding at G.H.S. for three years. At 6 ' 3 he has been able to out rebound bigger opponents because of sheer strength and jumping power. John has been recoqnized as one of the best centers in Western Massachusetts. He averaged around 1 3 points a game. JAMES SHORTELL—During the 1959-60 season, Jimmy Shortell finally reached his potential and turned into a top scorer. His best shot, a soft jump shot, made him the team ' s top shooter. Shorty also averaged around 13 points a game. JOHN WOOD—Greenfield ' s success in the latter part of the year was due mostly to the addition of John Wood to the lineup. At 6 ' 5 he gave Greenfield more height and rebound strength; but his accurate shooting ability, which enabled John to average double figures toward the end of the season, proved a welcome success to Coach Dan Dyer and Greenfield. JACK CURTISS—Jack, besides working well in the backcourt, gave Greenfield a fourth player who consistently hit double figures. At 6 ' 1 his height occasionally came in handy for rebounding. GORDON UMBERGER—Besides being on the first string varsity, Gordon was the only junior on the team. He broke into the lineup along with John Wood about half way through the season. Gordon developed a good jump shot and he should be one of the finer players next year. The reserve strength came from the remaining four players: JAMES PALIN—Jimmy was the sixth man on the squad and saw much service for Dan Dyer ' s Green Wave. He was a fine ball handler and passer and could drive quite well. Jim ' s best game was against Westfield when he scored eight points in the first quarter. ERNIE PATNODE—Ernie was a strong rebounder at 6 ' 2 for Greenfield and was a fine one hand shooter. Due to injuries and sickness Ernie did not see much action in the middle of the season. Ernie started the season off with a fast start in the opener against Athol by scoring the first six points for Greenfield. DONALD CASH-Don, besides having a good jump shot and one hand push, was also the quickest and fastest man on the team. His two crucial foul shots against Holyoke Catholic won the game for the Green Wave. DAVID HUTCHINSON— Hutch was probably the best dribbler and set shooter on the team. His tricky passes in the Keene Jamboree at the beginning of the season proved quite a delight to spectators. These were the nine players that gave Greenfield a winning basketball season and a fine team. 128 If you guys aren t going to play with me, I ' m not going to play with you. Come on, Woodsie! Hey, 32, why don ' t you give someone else a chance. Well now, that ' s a cute pose. 129 Baseball The G.H.S. baseball team, coached by Stan Benjamin, is looking forward to another prosperous year in 1960. This year ' s team will play twenty games; led by co-captains Jim Palin and Jack Curtiss. This is Palin ' s third year in a varsity uniform and the second for Curtiss. Most of last year ' s ' squad have graduated, leaving Mr. Benjamin with only a handful of veteran ballplayers. These players include catcher Jim Palin, shortstop Jack Curtiss, first baseman Jim Shortell, second baseman Don Cash, third baseman Gordon Umberger, and Ernie Patnode. Others figured upon by Stan are Dave Yankowski, Jack Hanley, Bud Falcon, Jack Mc¬ Donald, and Fran Murphy. The pitching situation is again a problem to Stan. The loss of Cless Pratt and Jim Waterman through graduation will hurt. Joe Smith is the only returning pitcher to have seen varsity action last year. Others expected to help out in this situation are Dutch Dahlquist, John Moylan, Jerry Kells, and Butch Patnode. The G.H.S. golf team, coached by Mr. Howard Boucher, is teeing off for another good year. Mr. Boucher has the main-stays of last year ' s team back again this year in the persons of Fran Brother Farrell and Dave Hutchinson. The underclassmen which figure to help the Farrell-Hutch duo are Jan Dommel and Jim Griffin. Charlie Miller and Marve Wizwer, both seniors, are also likely to be seeing plenty of greens. Wrestling The Greenfield High School Wrestling Team is in its infancy and on an informal basis. George Dyer, former New England Wrestling Champion, coaches the boys through the many intricate maneuvers involved in wrestling. The team meets Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 6:00 to 7:30 o ' clock at the Y.M.C.A., as the High School doesn ' t, as yet, have the necessary equipment; that is mats, mat covers, and space. The 1959-1960 edition of the Wrestling Team is comprised of Co-Captains Mike Polatick and Dick White, Fran O ' Neil, Don Welcome, Dick Hicks, Bruce Pratt, Ed Behilo, Dick Wise, Dave Gribbon, Phil Argy, Kent Warner, Jack Lapserites, and Harold Schwartz. Most of the team are in their second year of wrestling and help to teach the others the take-downs and pins. They also assist Mr. Dyer in demon¬ strating various holds. The boys are separated into divisions depending upon their weight. The weight classes are from 103 pounds to the unlimited class. In the unlimited class any weight over 186 pounds is able to wrestle. Interscholastic differs from Pro wres¬ tling in that all pain holds are banned and that there are three periods of two minutes each. These periods are from a standing position, a kneeling position, and the final period from a position on top of the kneeling man. So far the team has had one match with the Mount Hermon J.V. ' s at Mount Hermon. The Hermonites won 60 to 44; a very impressive score considering that was Greenfield ' s only match of the season. The team will not have any other matches except possibly a return match with Hermon, as there are no other schools in the near vicinity that have a wrestling team. The Springfield High Schools have started a wrestling program, but they are not wrestling outside the city this year. Last year the tennis team had an excellent season with a record of ten wins and four losses. Two of the team members, Danny Brown and Jim Neal, made the semi-finals of the Western Mass. Tournament. The team lost last year ' s captain Denny Brown through graduation but his place will be ably filled by Jim Neal. The team is looking forward to another good season with the assistance of Mr. Vickerson, the tennis coach. crvJl cm. @irIs’ Varsity Basketball Carol Siren Gretchen Flo Captain Moe Carey Kathy Sachse Kathy La Coy Bonnie Pratt Carol Hurlburt Frannie Jarvis Janet Koch 134 i Humor Varsity FIRST ROW, left to right: S.

The Girls ' Varsity team had a good season this year with ten victories and two losses. Gretch Flo was the high scorer with an average of 18 points a game. The guards played excellent games keeping their opponents to low scores. The team has been chosen to play in the Central Mass. Girls ' Basketball Tournament. The team was captained by Gretchen Flo, coached by Miss Cappoluzzo; Marcia Zak was manager of the team. The Junior Varsity also had a good season displaying some fine basketball talent. Linda Zlobl and Mary-Ann Carmey were the managers of the team. 135 Softball With an all win record, the 1959 girls ' softball team enjoyed a very good season. This year the team should start off with a bang. Although the team lost its wonderful pitcher, Mary Ann Oz- darski, there are still plenty of other good players left. Gretchen Flo, the star first baseman, will probably see another wonderful season. Bonnie Pratt and Peggy Pierce helped the team, too. Of course, we must not forget the little players like Moe Carey and Linda Zlobl. Last year, when Moe injured her hand, Linda did a magnificent job as catcher. While playing third base, Diane Weso- lowski caught many a fly ball. With the addition of more new players, the girls should have another wonderful season this year. 36 137 THE LOSS Citeraru Section Looking out of our hall window one morning, I was astonished to see that several men were cutting down the trees in the woods next to my home. I ran downstairs and found my mother and sister peering intently out of the window in the kitchen. Mother turned and in reply to the questioning look in my eyes said, They ' re clear¬ ing the land for a new development of modern homes. Those who have lost something that had played an important part in their youth can understand the deep sense of remorse I felt at that moment. I, as a child, had spent many happy hours run¬ ning and playing among the trees and brush; yet, in only a few days men would destroy the scene of most of my childhood. It seemed only a short time ago that my friends and I had played Hide-and-go-seek there, had built tree houses, had pretended we were Tar- zans, and, in general, had raced and romped to our hearts ' desires. I had come to know every rock and rill, every root and bush; also, the best hiding places and the best sources of jack-in-the- pulpits, pussy willows, and adder ' s-tongues were filed in my mind under the heading For Future Use. To me it was like losing a friend to see the woods razed. I had grown up with the woods. Where I, as a child, had looked to the woods for entertainment, later I, as a teen-ager, began to go there for the peace and contentment it offered. There I felt close to God, and many of my problems were ironed out in the serene shadows of the over¬ hanging branches. No, I did not want to lose my friend, the woods, which had offered me so much and asked nothing in return. Perhaps, in the opinion of some, this destruction was giving growth and develop¬ ment; but I could only feel a sense of loss. JULI BURACZYNSKI TAKE YOUR PICK On nights, when I do stay at home.

JIM GALLAGHER NOVEMBER NIGHT ' Tis fresh, ' tis crisp, ' tis cool and still With stars above and leaves below; The moon ' s bright beams on nearby hill Now shine where soon there will be snow. The trees so high are standing bare, While window panes and flowers wait Below the moon ' s bright, watchful glare For morning and its frosty mate. And from afar a dog does howl, Removing peace from autumn ' s night; From yonder tree an old horned owl Is looking down with eyes so bright. And so it lasts but for awhile— A scene so sharp, a scene so cold, A scene He made for us to file Along with one more year grown old. DONALD DEVINO UPON HEARING THE BONGO A thump, a thump, such stirring sounds, The beat recalls old native sounds! Two beats, then three, and four and five. The bongo drum has come alive! Get up and dance, move like the wind, Regard the beat of bongo skins! Go left; go right, much faster yet; Begin to swing; all else forget! DONALD DEVINO DEAR FRIEND What is it that you cannot see In life, why should you come to me? Is it your heart that ' s full of woe? A problem that becomes your foe? I ' ll try to see what I can do. 38 A troubled mind, a lonely sense, A frown upon your furrowed face: These things fro, which you cannot part Will guide me with your aching heart. A silent talk with God each day Will lead you on a safe, sound way To happiness throughout your life, A sure success in every strife. In life a problem comes and goes. Along with rain a flower grows. Don ' t think of life as punishment But as a gift which God has sent. BIRD OF PARADISE The man who alights from the plane hurries through the gates and immediately hails a cab. As the cab drives through the tropical, outlying districts, Kirk Gordons wonders, Will Rima re¬ member me? Has she changed? Will she still feel the same way towards me? Then he pauses and reflects on that day in May, the time when he had met Rima. He had been sent by the government to check the health conditions of the tiny villages in the northern part of Venezuela. In the tiny settlement of Curoa he had been called to the side of an aged woman. It had been necessary to perform an operation. To do so, he had enlisted the aid of Rima, the daughter of his patient. Immediately he had been drawn to his apt, quiet assistant. As Kirk continues to reminisce, he recalls not only the way she had done efficiently the things necessary to prepare for surgery but also the care and patience she had rendered the post¬ operative patient. He further reviews why he had been attracted to Rima. Was it that he had ad¬ mired her professionally, for she possessed nat¬ ural qualities which he had often desired to be possessed by nurses back home in the states? No, for in the end he concluded he had been at¬ tracted to her personality—her quiet, yet some¬ times devilish, ways; her impish face; her tender look. These reminiscent thoughts are abruptly dropped, as the cab draws nearer to the village of Curoa. Kirk rejoices that, so far as he can remem¬ ber, the village has not changed outwardly. He hurries across the field where he and Rima had parted two long years ago. He comes in sight of the low cabin where she and he had eaten with her parents. He sees the mother of the girl whom he loves and upon inquiry learns that she has gone for a walk. If he knows his Rima, he can guess where she is. As he goes looking for her, he further recalls these happy, carefree people for whom he had cared. He passes the children playing games. This causes him to remember the games he and Rima had played with the children. Oh, he and Rima! Now he is-at the edge of the village. Before him is the very path he and Rima had followed so many, many times. The green trees still stand so tall in contrast to the deep blue sky. The birds sing the song which so shortly, he hopes, will mark the reunion with his dear Rima. Now he can hear the water which is falling from the high mountain. It is at the foot of this very waterfall that Rima had promised to wait for him. The air is very calm and still. Sudden¬ ly he sees her. She is kneeling by the water. Oh, Lord, he thinks, thank heavens, she has not changed. She is as he remembered her—the same small, elfin-faced girl with the long brown hair falling on her sun-tanned back. He watches her for a moment; then unconsciously she turns and sees him. He utters but one word, Rima. PILLS, TO BE OR NOT TO BE Did you ever stop to think how temperamental pills can be? They act like genii which have been suppressed in small bottles for hundreds of years. When released by innocent you, these pills enjoy causing many types of discomfort as a sort of revenge. They most enjoy this action at a time when you are in a hurry. A favorite prank is as¬ suming weird shapes, which are next to impos¬ sible to swallow. For instance, there is the long, thin pill de¬ signed to lodge sideways in your throat. This is painful, and, to top it all off, the pill begins melt¬ ing and a terrible taste is the next agony. Yet, some pills fool you by having convenient swal¬ lowing shapes. There is a hitch; they are soft and always melt—another example of the taste prank. The next type is the large, round pill, which can be swallowed—with an enormous struggle. Because it is round, you feel that this time it will be an easy job, even though it is big. Confidence is built up, and you get ready. In it goes, followed by a huge glass of water; then you find yourself choking to death. The pill is still in your mouth. The size mattered after all. The next time you 139 make an all-out effort and succeed. Wait! Your troubles aren ' t over yet! These demons rub and scrape the esophagus so savagely that the pain is with you hours afterwards. Finally, there are those pills which perch on the back of your tongue and dare you to swal¬ low them. No matter how much water you drink, this demon hangs on. You are at this time so waterlogged that you have to spit it out. You might as well; you ' re late for your appointment anyway. Therefore, I ask you to think. Isn ' t there some way mankind can construct a defense? What this world needs is a sure-fire way to swallow pills. What will life be like if every round be lost to an angry pill, which seeks revenge? BARBARA FAIRBROTHER WHITE RAIMENT The snow lies deep in the valley; The hillsides are glistening and bright. The trees are bowed with their burden, Heavy mantles of fluff, deep and white. Each pine tree leans close to its neighbor Its caps tilted slightly awry, Whispering of its new-coated splendor, New-fallen from yesterday ' s sky. Not yet have strong winds come to rob us Of this raiment fit for an earl . The sun had adorned us with jewels, Diamonds and milky-white pearl. Our skirts billow forth in their whiteness Over crinolines needled with green. Our feet deep in nature ' s soft carpet Luxurious enough for a queen. Our little ones short and so supple Bend to their snow-clad toes. Their limbs weighted down with fresh ermine A pretty but difficult pose. Our neighbors, those gossipy birches— How plain each White, skimpy gown! What good is a willowy figure To support this fluffy white down? The tall, stately oaks on the hillside, Guardians of all they survey— Their strength keeps them upright and lofty Not heeding this wint ' ry array. That cluster of cozy young maples. Limbs deep in a frosting of snow, With their pattern of lacey white branches, Looks down on plump bushes below. The snow lies deep in the valley; The hillsides are glistening and bright. Each tree clings to its own brief glory. For no doubt ' t will be gone by the night. GERTRUDE POLLARD MATURITY, AT LAST! The sun was shining on a typical boy ' s room- on the wall appeared pictures of baseball stars; in one corner was baseball equipment; on the floor at the foot of a single bed were yesterday ' s clothes carelessly tossed aside; and firrally on the bureau were neat stacks of change (saved from a paper route.) However, the sound of an alarm clock interrupted the tranquility. Gerald Gilbert awoke with a start. Wondering why he had set his alarm for eight o ' clock on a Saturday morn¬ ing, he sat up in bed. Suddenly he remembered this was the Big Day! Yesterday, while walking home from school, Gerald had made his plans; he decided to wake up early, eat breakfast, and then go to the corner drugstore. Usually Gerald does not keep things from his parents; but there are some matters a man must do on his own. At nine o ' clock he walked into Birkwood ' s Drugstore. Hello, Gerald, said Mr. Birkwood. How are you today? Oh, I ' m fine. What can I do for you? Urn, Gerald answered nervously, I ' d like a chocolate ice cream soda. I ' ll be with you in a minute, son. The youth, sipping his soda, spun on his stool. As soon as Mr. Birkwood had gone to the back of the store, Gerald, desperately trying to be non¬ chalant, ambled over to a counter. He pointed to a small object and said in a low voice to the clerk, I ' ll take that one. After carefully pocketing his purchase, Gerald started for home. While walking, he kept telling himself to keep calm, for what he was about to do wasn ' t very unusual. He almost succeeded in convincing himself that he would be justified in his actions when he arrived home. Although he was afraid, he forced himself to enter his house and to go upstairs 140 Gerald entered the bathroom and quietly locked the door, for he didn ' t want his family to know that he was home. When he looked in the mirror, he noticed that he was in a cold sweat. While he was unwrapping his package, his hands were shaking. The big moment had arrived —Gerald Allen Gilbert, aged fourteen, was about to shave himself for the first time! CAROL PASCHKES SUMMER IN OUR TOWN It ' s summer in our town. The sun shines fiercely on the walks. And softens the macadam with its heat. The store managers slowly come out And wipe their sweaty brows. They lean there, propped against their doors For they have nothing else to do, Nothing but to listen to the steady drone of insects And Jud the blacksmith . . . pounding . . . pounding . His mighty muscles gleaming in the midday sun. O, Lord, how can he work today! It ' s hot in our town. On down the street the schoolhouse stands. It ' s been there for years . . . maybe decades . . You wouldn ' t want to touch its sides. The bricks are hot, Like the furnace that was heated seven times. Inside the children are fretting, Impatient to get out, Impatient to get ice cubes from the drugstore And sit beneath the shade of a cool elm, Impatient to drowse on the grass And sleep . . . sleep until the sun drops, Sleep until the frogs and crickets Tune up for the evening concert, Sleep until the cool wind Softly blows through the grasses, And sleep until God spreads A blanket of ebony velvet over the world. Spangled with a million tiny sequins, And all is quiet . . . quiet and still. AVIS RUGGERI A WINTER EVENING Picture with me a clear, winter evening after a heavy snow When the entire landscape is wrapped in a .shimmering robe of white. When everything is peaceful while the world still slumbers. Look there! Do you see the myriad of diamonds encrusting the meadow? They dance and leap like small, pale sprites before a frolicsome wind as The moonlight diffuses shafts of radiance in a witchery of brilliance. The trees bow with the weight of new-fallen snow like dancers in a minuet, Their wraith-like fingers entwined in icy embrace; The breeze stirs the branches while showers of crystals Settle like a benediction on the breast of the virgin snow. In the hushed stillness the world seems to come to a standstill, And pause for a moment in muted meditation. There is a profound peace in this world apart, and an inner sense of exultation permeates the soul; For one fleeting monent of divine greatness, the scene draws close While one feels the protective nearness of God and his enfolding arms. AVIS RUGGERI GROWING UP Universally each individual is confronted with conflicting ideas of one kind or another. Such variance of opinion may relate to the problem of the time one becomes a full-grown person. Even though most people believe adulthood is attained when an individual reaches his twenty- first year, I believe that a person young in years becomes an adult when he is able to adjust to conflict and accept responsibility either by him¬ self or with the aid of others. Conversely, I think a person can be old in years but still have the mentality of a teen-ager. An example of a young boy who becomes an adult even before he reaches the teen-age stage is illustrated in Night of the Hunter. Nine-year- old John Harper, the main character, assumes full- sized responsibility when he swears never to tell where is hidden the money which his father had stolen. Even though the secret almost costs him his life at the hands of his stepfather, John man¬ ages to keep the secret and after his mother ' s death takes good care of his small sister until such time as his sister and he finally find refuge at the home of a kind-hearted woman. It ' s true that John Harper, once he had attained security, was still a small boy in years. However, he still had 141 learned to accept the responsibilities of an adult. Not only people as young as John Harper but also teen-agers must come face to face with re¬ ality before they can attain the legal age of adult¬ hood. For instance, in The Red Badge of Cour¬ age, Henry Wilson, a teen-ager, goes off to the war with visions of becoming a glorious hero on the battlefield. When he finally gets a gun in his hands and realizes that he must kill or be killed, he struggles within himself as to whether he will be a coward or a man. After running away from the first exchange of bullets, he conquers his fear and returns to fight like a man. In fact, he has grown so in maturity that he no longer is a youth. Another example of a teen-ager reaching adult¬ hood is shown in The Catcher in the Rye. Hold¬ en Caufield, a young boy, is constantly being thrown out of school, because he can ' t adjust to his environment, he believes he is in a world filled with fakes. His failure to apply himself and to recognize his vocation in life really causes him to worry. Fear of telling his parents about his failure intensifies the struggle within him. After a dis¬ cussion with a former professor, Holden at last makes the decision to face his parents and to try harder instead of sitting back and letting the rest of the world go by. Thus, Holden began to grow up mentally. On the other hand, even those individuals who have attained the legal age of adults sometimes do not so act until faced with a problem which might affect their whole lives. For instance, in Magnificent Obsession, Robert Merrick, who is quite wealthy, is faced with the problem of lead¬ ing the useless life of a playboy or of struggling to be accredited as a great brain surgeon. As he has plenty of money, he doesn ' t have to work for a living. However, because he realizes that he also possesses intelligence, he starts from scratch, studies, hunts for and discovers the secret for success in life, and becomes a famous brain sur¬ geon. Thus he had solved the struggle within him¬ self or had acted as an adult and not as a childish playboy. Another example of a person who is old in years but does not act like an adult until he is faced with reality is Dr. Lucas Marsh in Not as a Stranger. Dr. Marsh thi nks of medicine as a holy thing and of all doctors as saviors of man¬ kind. He struggles against the reality that doctors are inhumane in some respect just like people in any other profession. Dr. Marsh also battles against the idea that doctors sometimes practice where they can obtain the most money. He final¬ ly resigns himself to these facts and finds that he, himself, had used someone, his wife, as a pass¬ port to medicine in that he had married her for her money. Thus, after realizing that he himself had erred, he senses that other people, doctors in¬ cluded, can make puerile mistakes too. Therefore, when an individual had faced up to a problem, he had earned the title Adult. Age does not determine mature reasoning; decisions depend on character and mental development. FOUR CORNERS SCHOOL In Sept., 1947, a large group of frightened chil¬ dren gathered at Four Corners kindergarten. This fright was shortlived, however, as Joan Wallace and Nancy Daniels immediately began to show their maternal instincts by managing a huge walk- in doll house. A large cardboard store served to train the class for their future jobs. In kindergarten Douglas Stiles, Rod Sitterly, and Brad Sheff banded together to form a group that lasted un¬ til junior high school. In first grade Jim Shortell certainly had a way with the girls. He taught all the boys how to play boys chase the girls, and poor Miss Ly¬ man labeled him the flirtiest boy at Four Corners. Joan Hosmer and Janice French were chosen to be the queen ' s attendants at the annual May Day, much to their delight. In second grade the two Bonnies were chosen to carry the honors on May Day. Our class had been cut down quite a bit, as our hero Jim Shor¬ tell left with his clan for another school. In third grade the threat of being put over Miss Hardaker ' s lap was the only thing that would keep Dicky Hall quiet. Gum-chewers, like Elaine Lanthier, spent their time sitting in the wastebas¬ ket with their gum on their noses. A scroll was made that year with the help of Charles Sedge- wick and Connie Hennessy. In the fourth grade came the hated health checks and multiplication tables. Those health checks were disastrous for people like Rena Moore and Kent Warner, who bit their finger nails. Then came fourth grade, bringing Ernie Pat- node and Billy Jangro. Both boys were very good- looking; and when it came time to square dance, the girls raced madly to their desks. Soon the square dances were given up for hulas. Each of the girls bought a real grass skirt and that year 42 did hulas for May Day. Miss Fitzgerald kept a complete makeup kit in her drawer. One day she asked Janice French to get her the hand cream. It wasn ' t until Janice had smeared it all over her face that Miss Fitzgerald realized that it wasn ' t hand cream, but paste. John Roberts got a big chuckle out of that. Judy Emmonds came in the sixth grade, and Ernie Patnode flipped over her. This was the romance of the school. Mrs. Goodnow didn ' t like it when Gerry Quadrino called Faye Chabot ching-ching Chinaman Russian Chabot, and poor Gerry had to apologize in front of the whole class. Every time Brad Sheff would sneeze, the old school would rock on its frame. It was a good thing that Rita Crosby lived near the school, be¬ cause every so often, after a fight with Phyllis Tyler or Donna Hunter, she would get up and walk right out of the school. Mrs. Goodnow must have been a hairdresser at heart, because one day she tied Rita ' s hair back with a piece of string. Once a week there were song flute lessons. For some, like Herbie Kramer, this was quite a chore. Patsy Brocklesby was dancing with Wesley Clark one day when suddenly, for some unknown rea¬ son, Wesley went down in a heap. Patsy swears she didn ' t push him. Faye Chabot and Bonnie Hoenhasser laughed so hard that Mrs. Goodnow sent them out in the hall. John Duprey was a real handy-man when it came to making weather vanes for the science classes. Bea Newton was May Queen that year, and she also had the first big party for the whole class. The girls and boys stood in different corners half the night. Then came the big day when all the sixth graders went to the junior high school to see what it was like. There Judy Emmonds met Henry Burns, and the next day Ernie Patnode was heartbroken. And so ended the old life, and began the new one; the life which would eventually lead to G.H.S. NORTH PARISH SCHOOL Grammar school life started off with a bang at North Parish- School when Steve McCoy arrived. He had all the teachers on the verge of a nervous breakdown with his merciless ways. Ellen Winn will always remember that day in the third grade when Eleanor Haskins, who had failed to do her homework, forged her name on Ellen ' s math paper. Fourth grade saw the arrival of Joan Shorty ' Lovett and her long braids. She was so embar¬ rassed with the hat she was wearing that her mother had to face the teacher alone while Joan peered shyly around the corner. That year also brought out the math genius in Roger Kislowski, Joan Lovett, Ellen Winn, and of course, Charlie Wa I litis. In fifth grade our glamour girls decided to experiment with the latest fad-lipstick, which was accepted unsuccessfully by all, including our teacher Miss Dahowski. She quickly marched all of them to the ladies ' room to wash. Linda Grant will never forget a certain present that Cecil Ja¬ cobs received for his eleventh birthday. This grade also saw the budding romances of Ellen Winn and Cecil Jacobs, Linda Grant and Dennis Cadron, Joan Lovett and Peter Patterson, Betty Jones and John Shensky, Eleanor Haskins and Dennis Hoar, and Kathy Yobst and Eddie Shensky. We ' ll always remember Barbara Fairbrother ' s sweet strains of her faithful violin. In the sixth grade Butch Wa I litis finally got away from his cows long enough to go to the big city, New York. Then came the day when the Shensky twins were separated for the first time. Miss Dahowski changed their seats, and oh, how they cried. GREEN RIVER SCHOOL No one will ever forget those past years spent at Green River School. Remember when the first grade went to see the fire engine display? Nancy Smith became quite frightened, because she thought the fire engine would run over her. In the second grade the class transferred to the new Green River School. Everyone was scared that first day because Miss Stone, our principal, warned everyone to keep his dirty hands off the walls. After that everyone walked around with his hands in his pockets, except Robert Benedetti —his hands were always stuck together with gum. Our third grade and fourth grade years were much more fun. We learned how to square dance and make wax figures. In square dancing the boys tried to see how many girls they could knock down. The only girl who could flip the boys was Nancy Smith, and she did a swell job of it. Miss Jarvis, our fourth grade teacher, would let us paint if we finished our work early. Every¬ one would try to outdo his classmates to see who could .draw the best pictures. It was usually a tie between Carl Podlesny and Donna Romanovich. 143 It was a wonder that Queenie Steiner and Carol Siren ever learned anything in school that year. They were the teacher ' s pets and were always drawing pictures and painting wh ile the rest of the class worked. We wonder how they did it. Remember the class trip to Old Deerfield? For weeks we were all excited, especially Judy Clarke who thought that real Indians lived there. We all wondered why she didn ' t come out of the bus when we finally reached Old Deerfield. In fifth grade we all thought that we were finally grown up, because we could now run er¬ rands and do things for Miss Stone. Judy Brown, Donna Romanovich, Carol Siren, and Queenie Steiner were the school ' s official baby sitters for kindergarten and first grade. On a hot day you would probably find the girls sticking their feet in one of the fishbowls, minus their shoes and socks. The teacher could never figure out why the goldfish were always dying, and the water was always dirty. Don Devino was the mischief-maker in our school. He and Michael Pokladok were always teasing and chasing the girls. Lewis Wysk, another class lover, couldn ' t run fast enough to catch up with them. It also seemed that Don Devino was always running out of money. Every time he got another girl friend, he would bring her a bottle of perfume. Anyhow, the school always was frag¬ rant. The sixth grade was our most exciting year. Particularly memorable were the piggy-back fights, sliding down the hill in back of the school, the boys ' baseball games with their star pitcher, Carl Podlesney, and the graduation party. We even had our own yearbook with our predictions. Especially funny was the prediction about Lewis Wysk. He was supposed to become our next president! FEDERAL STREET SCHOOL In 1947 a group of frightened youngsters en¬ tered Federal Street School. We were certainly a group of frustrated children, mainly because of the fact that we lacked a ' ' jungle-jim. ' ' It was only because of the frequent demands of Martha Jurewicz that Federal Street School was finally provided with that great boon to physical educa¬ tion. A great many games were played that year, the most popular of which was the elephant game demonstrated gracefully by our own James Clark. In the first grade began the era of school skip¬ ping. This was first introduced by Gretchen Flo and Dick Wise, who at recess one day decided to walk home. Henry Burns, already a great Romeo, was adored by all the girls. This was quite evident at the square dances when at Miss James ' signal to choose your partners every girl on the floor descended upon him. In second grade our class room was enhanced by the beauty of an enormous fishbowl, the water of which was changed by Joyce White and Sylvia Seibert. It was, however, a sad day when they tripped over John Wood ' s already well-developed feet, and our beloved fishbowl was smashed into a million pieces. On Valentine ' s Day Avis Rug¬ ged and Helen Dwyer reached the tremendous position of mailmen; this was accomplished, how¬ ever, only when Avis managed to cover the fifty feet between her house and the school on time. Nevertheless, we pulled through these trage¬ dies and were promoted to the third grade, where¬ upon marbles dominated the scene. Of course, Marc Cohn, the owner of the largest marble col¬ lection, was constantly pursued for a marble part¬ ner. Every afternoon our class was taken on an excursion to Highland Park by Rusty Hamilton to look for dinosaur tracks. That year Joyce White broke her wrist and couldn ' t write for nearly two months. Hopscotch made its debut with Carol Hurlburt as Federal Street Champ. Dick Hall, who was only with us for one year was the best singer of If I Knew You Were Com¬ ing I ' d Have Baked A Cake which we were re¬ quired to sing whenever a visitor entered the room. In fourth grade our class was enlarged by the arrival of Carol Paschkes, Jack Curtiss, Charlie Mil¬ ler, and the Most twins. But we neglected to men¬ tion another new classmate, Judy Gorey, who shocked the class with her love letters to Pat Twyon. The return letters were intercepted by Miss Bangs, who made them stay after school to¬ gether. The little household arts cottage was our favorite recess haunt, from which rang the sweet notes of a song dedicated to one of our dear classmates, John Wood. In fifth grade after one of our daily recess ses¬ sions John Wood and Linda Chapin failed to re¬ turn to class. Fifteen minutes later when they re¬ turned, Miss Mason embarrassed them to no end by writing their names on the board together. That year we were visited every other week by Mr. Wood of the Audubon Society. He took us on 144 a visit to Arcadia Bird Sanctuary. This, however, proved to be a frightening experience for some of the girls; Joyce White was the only one who dared to pick up the snake. Ah, sixth grade—at last we were rulers of the school. We were the big kids. Three new mem¬ bers arrived: the flaming redhead from Ohia, the tall blond Romeo, Don Cash from Brockton, and chubby Jim Neal from Florida. This was the era of the artists, with Avis and Judy with paper dolls and Martha and Helen D. with horses. Every morning began with the lusty voice of Billy Bomel leading us in his fa vorite song, The Camptown Races on page ' 64. Much to Henry ' s and Marc ' s dismay, all the girls fell in love with Don Cash. This was the year that both the girls ' and the boys ' softball teams were undefeated. Our year was climaxed by a huge party we had for Mr. Forest, celebrating his recent marriage. HOLY TRINITY 1948. What a momentous year! The little pro¬ cession of first graders gazed with awe at the hallowed halls of Holy Trinity. The year went by quickly with Jimmy Gallagher the most sought- after boy. Those freckles were just too much! Grade II is a bit hazy, but Grade III was a great year for discovering hidden talents. Could anyone ever forget the excellent performance by Richard Steffins as Frosty the Snowman? Then too, a group dance number by Sandra Carme, Pat Thay¬ er, and Carol Thayer was widely acclaimed. Grade IV saw Bob Koch emerge as a girl charmer, and Bob Killay became the class clown. However, he was constantly in danger of losing his title to either Ken Archer or Louie Bresciano. Grade V was another great year for Beacon Lights. The talents of our classmates had broadened. Mary Benson, Peggy Broughan, and Ginny Wallner really made everyone reminiscent with their rendi¬ tion of In the Days Gone By. The class project of Grade V, Room IX was the Marines Hymn with tap dance accompaniment by Moe Flavin, Carolyn Hahn, Joyce Kostek, Margeret Mitchell, and Mary Sheehan. The other fifth grade did a song and dance routine called The Name of Kelly with Buddy Seremith portraying Kelly. The dancers were Kathleen Charron, Mary Grogan and Janet Lapseritis. Grade VI was really momen¬ tous in that the boys and girls were growing up. Sister Rose Aloysia held two jobs, that of teaching grade VI and that of Principal. Julianne Buraczynski was teaching appointed class monitor to conduct the class whenever Sister was on business. Despite all the uncooperative elements such as John Roberts, John Sini, Susie Grealis and Moe Carey, Julie held her ground and the walls of H.T. remained intact. Well . . . almost intact. I forgot to mention that Sister Anna Francis was the teacher of the other sixth grade. Grade VII had an accent on study but Grade VIII was filled with antics and trips to the office. Everyone struggled through final exams and was rewarded by the long-waited-for Graduation Dance. Many couples such as Judy McAuliffe and Paul La Pointe, Sis Edes and Jimmy Gallegher, Mike Mott and Caro¬ lyn Hahn, and Bob Koch and Barb Kiley were at the dance. Lucy Hurley and Bea King will never forget the sixth grade. Wasn ' t that the year you stole the soda, girls? Seventh grade was a big year for. Juli Buraczyn¬ ski, Joyce Kostek, Polly Grader, and Pat Houdek, and Moe Flavin. That was the year they started a cheering squad. Many of the cheers were original as well as the motions. Eighth grade was the year in which the eighth graders got to sing Dungaree Doll for the Bea¬ con Lights. Debates were very popular in eighth grade too. Jim Gallager, Mike Mott, and Moe Flavin will never forget the time they were judges in Sister Leona ' s room. The class of 1960 was really on its way to big and better things! NEWTON STREET SCHOOL Kindergarten, September, 1947—School begins for the better part of the class of 1960. Everyone was ready for the thirteen year grind. Among the group were: Bob Lukow, John Potter, Brian Sulli¬ van, Don Welcome, Carole Paquette, Marylou Monica, Joann Soneson, Kareen Steiner, and Kathy LaCoy. After one year of learning, this portion of the class of 1960 progressed and actually learned to read and write. A new school called Green River was built, and the class was split up. In grade two a new clan of eager beavers ar¬ rived at Newton Street School. They were: Jim Shortell, Tweet Arena, Bev Behilo, and Sid Tower. That year we had great fun playing with the ducks in the pond near the school. Most of the time, however, it was Bob Lukow who ended up in the pond with the ducks. 145 In grade three the older pupils were allowed to take the younger pupils to the laboratory. John Potter and Tweet Arena were usually picked to be the babysitters. Grade four was quite a year. Everyone was bad except Helen O ' Kulez, who was the only one who ever attended assembly. A new addition to the class that year was Nancy Fiske, who arrived from another school. At the end of the year our prize cheerleader, Carole Paquette, left for parts un¬ known-still unknown. Also that year we went to Old Deerfield to see the sights. Joann Soneson was the lucky one; she won all the games and won a book for her reward. To top it all off our teacher broke a yardstick over Jim Shortell ' s head while trying to hit him. So ended the great year of 1953. In grade five the class had a roaring minstrel show with John Potter as the star. The trip to Acadia Bird Santuary climaxed our trips for our grade school years. Square dancing became very popular, and Brian Sullivan was certainly the best dancer by far. Everyone was quite proud that he had grad¬ uated to sixth grade. Bev Behilo had quite a party in her little playhouse. This was attended by John Potter, Nancy Fiske, Jim Shortell, Marjory Bel¬ grade, Kathy LaCoy and Bob Lukow. ABERCROMBIE SCHOOL Cindy Wright will never forget the day when a new boy arrived at Abercrombie. He always chased her all around the skating rink during the noon hour. Eloise Alex was quite embarrassed the day one of her friends told the teacher, Mrs. Cook, that Eloise thought her name was Cookie Jar. The big romance that year was with Janice Kells and Neal Graves. It all started during one of those rip-roaring games of Spin the Bottle. They were having so much fun that they both missed the bus and had to walk home together. Oh, we can ' t forget the time Carol Baker and some of her friends went for their usual visit to Christmas Creek. They always managed to fall into the brook. We think they did it on purpose, but they still deny it. One day the class all went over to the island near our school. About a half an hour after we reached our destination, the river came up and we had to swim back. No won¬ der Janice Kells is such a good swimmer. At another of our parties Rocky McGahan sol¬ emnly decided that he was not going to play any games such as Post Office. Boy, has he changed. We had an accident that year. Neal Graves split Janice Kells ' head open with a ham¬ mer. He was mad at her and wanted revenge. SCHOOL STREET As we came upon the Old School Street School, we find the alley holes out in the front yard where Elaine Pearson stayed after school every day to play marbles. This is also the scene where Shirley Fay, Judy Walsh, and Connie Chaplin used to play jump rope. Also in the line of sports there was Jimmy Kennedy, who was a star basketball player, and Carol Paquette, who started her career as a cheerleader. During the sixth grade there was that great talent show where Mary Stotz did the hula while her polka dot panties showed through the grass skirt. Carol Sokolosky and her sister sang Butterflies while Carol Pyott and Dawn Burleigh were back stage fighting over which one would go on next. Carol and Dawn were best friends. Richard Lopatka sure was a whiz on the accordion. Then there was Jo Ann Bergerson who was the shortest girl in the class and Karl Yobst who was the shyest boy. Dorothy Margola, Marcia Zak, and Jimmy Joslyn were the bookworms of the class. Dick Creek was known for his snowball throwing. And last, but not least, there was Dave Hutchinson who was the class clown. He would do anything for a laugh. SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADE And then the fun began! Finally all the gram¬ mar schools were assembled in the Junior High on Davis Street, and weren ' t we the big wheels?! It certainly didn ' t take us very long to get ac¬ quainted, for even on the first day of school we were congregating outside the building until the last possible minute before the bell rang. The Class of ' 60 really rated the best of every¬ thing. We even had our own private little dances in the building adjoining the Y. A logical explana¬ tion might be that we were renounced as being little devils. Parties galore. That year everyone just HAD to have a party. And who were some of the famous couples who attended? Marcia Zak and Charlie Wallitis, Merilee Carlson and Don Devino, Henry Burns and Judy Emmons, John Potter and Sylvia Seibert, Fay Chabot and Billy Bomely, and Pete Patterson and Joan Lovett. At Joannie ' s party John Potter must have wanted to get rid of Sylvia, 146 for in the midst of an intriguing game of Spin the Bottle this dapper young man stepped on the bottle and crushed it to bits. That was the end of that game. When Spring came the girls were busy with excitement. Cheerleading tryouts were approach¬ ing, and every girl in the school was determined to make the squad. The fortunate few were Car¬ ole Paquette, Captain, Merilee Carlson, Co-Cap¬ tain, Nancy Smith, Fifi Tyler, Joan Hosmer, Judy Emmons, Fay Chabot, Dottie Margola, Bonnie Hohengasser, Sylvia Seibert, and substitute Joyce White. There was never a practice when Carole didn ' t go home crying due to the fact that she and Merilee were mortal enemies. The seventh grade ended with a bang after that unforgettable production of the Little Red School House and our club picnics at the pool. As the summer began, the Boresome Foursome was also formed, which included Carol Hurlburt, Fifi Tyler, Carole Paquette and Dottie Margola. This organization was too soon terminated by the loss of Dottie, who began her long stay at the hospital the day before we entered eighth grade. Under the direction of Rita Crosby and several accomplices, our first Tri-Hi-Y was formed, and dubbed Beta Phi. At a later date the club had a completely successful party at which Jim Neal left a remembrance—a hole in the wall. Our football team with the encouragement of the cheerleaders won two, lost one, and tied two games. Dickie Gibbs could easily be distinguished from the other players by his bright scarlet hel¬ met—the only one of its kind on the team. Don Devina was our outstanding player in those days, second only to Mr. Desautels. Can we ever forget the fateful day when Henry Burns accidently dropped an Alka-Seltzer in an inkwell? Eighth grade also saw Patsy Brockelsby and her Busy Beatniks playing softball with Miss Harvey, and the Household Arts Teachers. If we remember correctly, this was also the year in which we all became avid patrons of J.C. ' s Some of us even had charge accounts. The final day of our eighth grade year was climaxed by two very naughty little girls drink¬ ing cokes in Mr. Murphy ' s room while the rest of the class munched on popsicles. NINTH GRADE During the ninth grade the Greenfield Y was a popular place for the majority of students. In that year the Kappa Beta Tri-Hi-Y was formed. It was comprised mostly of students who had come to our school from Holy Trinity. That year Bea King was elected President and Carol Hahn was the Vice-President. Do you remember the bottle drive that was sponsored by that Tri-Hi-Y? That was the year that the back of the car was full of bottles ready to be delivered to the store when Carolyn de¬ cided to learn to drive. Well, she wasn ' t very good, and we lost more than a dollar ' s worth of bottles when she decided to stop. One of the fads that year was squirt guns. Someone was always getting squirted in the back by some notorious sharp shooter such as Sackie, Moe, or Ginny Wallner. Of course they were aided by such accomplices as Hutchie, Dicky Hall, or Iggy Morrisy. We bet the teachers didn ' t have to buy any squirtguns that year; they made quite a haul at the students ' expense. In September 1956, our class was further en¬ riched by the arrival of the kids from Holy Trinity. The biggest addition to our class was Moe Carey, who that year was elected Editor of the Hound. It was the newspaper, and carried the news of our latest football win, personality of the month, or the latest romances. Ninth grade—that was quite a year, wasn ' t it? Remember the sessions in Mr. Osgood ' s office? Slop Day? Hillbilly Day? The Rock ' n ' Roll Club? French classes—especially the day someone started a bonfire in the back of the classroom. I ' m sure none of us will forget the day our vicious Gretch had her first fist fight. Were you a Dig¬ ger or a Stomper? Don ' t you remember the day someone wrote that on the front of the school? There was a great deal of talent displayed that year. We had our own Elvis Presley portrayed by John Clark. Then Nancy Smith and Ellen Winn were introduced to sing Let Me Go Lover. They sang about two lines—and did nothing but laugh for the rest of their appearance. Then on came the Goofers comprised of Sackie, Moe, She-She, and Barb. They did a crazy dance and to climax the performance Moe fell off the stage. Avis Rug- geri also made her musical debut in that show. Our old auditorium was turned into Carnegie Hall when Barb Fairbrother played on the violin Pop Goes the Weasel. The Pastals, singing group comprised of Sylvia, Merilee, Joyce, Judy, Hozzie, Rita, Joan L., and Fay, sang such songs as Why 147 Do Fools Fall in Love, and Come, Go with Me. The arrival of the gang from Holy Trinity brought many new romances on the scene. Moe, Barb, and Sackie teamed up with Dickie Hall, Dickie Gibbs, and Eddie Shensky. Oh, let ' s not forget Joan Lovett and Steve McCoy, Hutch and Fay, Fifi and Sketzy, Pot and Hozzie, Sis and Gary, Carolyn and Donnie, Henry and Judy, Shorty and Nancy, and Gayle and Rocky. Classes were a lot of fun that year, especially Latin because of our daily walk from the Junior High up to the high school. We always stocked up with candy from J.C. ' s. Remember the day Henry and Pot wore Bur- mudas to school with kneesox? Our principal sure took care of that in a hurry. Our dances were a big success; Rena Moore and Joyce Kostek had good ideas for the decora¬ tions, and Hutch and Don Devino were our mas¬ ters of ceremony. The Spring Dance in the ninth grade highlighted Judi Siano and Rod Sitterly as king and queen. Of course, Butch Wallitis sat on the stage with them to keep them company. In our biggest election that year Shorty was elected Student Council President, and Nancy Fiske was chosen Secretary. One day there was a tremendous commotion in English class. Do you know what it was? Car¬ olyn and Pat Houdek were fighting over a pencil. The result of this was the first office referral and certainly not their last. Remember the detention sessions where the penalty was writing the rules in the J.H.S. handbook backwards? Donnie Pierce sure got a lot of practice at that. And so ended the ninth grade, a wonderful year. However the high school years would prove to be even better. HIGH SCHOOL Upon graduation from G.H.S. our class of 1960 will be thrust into the waves of life ' s anxieties and humilities. We, as adults, will undertake a new and grave responsibility. Since success is the ultimate goal in each of our lives, our cla ss will now separate to seek out our individual ambi¬ tions. For many it will be the final step in formal education. As we write this class history, it will seem as if we just had one heck of a good time. But, during %our high school years, each of us acquired a sense of individuality and a desire to achieve certain goals. Yet, we have many won¬ derful memories of G.H.S. to cherish. The class of 1960 is quite renowned as a ex¬ traordinary group. For example, in our sopho¬ more year, we sponsored the most successful Thanksgiving dance in the history of G.H.S. An¬ other example of the ingenuity of our class was the dance sponsored by the Bachelor ' s Protective Association. B.P.A. has made quite a name for itself. With members like Don Cash, Woody, Shorty, and Jake, how could it miss? We bet Fifi was surprised one day last February when Woody had skipped B.P.A. The entire club went to Fifi ' s and held the meeting on her living room floor— to make it easier for Woody to be present. Co-op¬ eration plus—you know! Yes, those high school years were filled with some wild escapades. Parties were the word all through high school. One party in our Sophomore year was really set on fire by Di and Ernie, Bev and Russ, and Marcia and Dev. Of course, there were She-She ' s eventful parties. Her shaker party opened the door to open houses. Surprise birthday parties were many in sophomore year. Recipients of such surprise parties were Kathy Lacoy, Polly, Dottie, Gayle, 148 also Carols Paschkes and Paquette, Sis and Di Ponton. P.J. ' s were also prevalent through our senior high days. Hostesses to those baggy-eyed souls were Gretch, Stotzie, Ho zzie, Di, Bev Behilo, and Shirley Fay. Senior parties were truly a blast, one of the best being Cricket ' s. Other fabulous parties were Joan Wallace ' s, Bev King ' s, Rita ' s, Joyce White ' s, Tweet ' s, Lee Bernier ' s, and Sis ' s. Senior play had every senior on his toes, selling tickets, gathering props and costumes, rehearsals, promotion, publicity, and preparing those reward¬ ing parties. Due to the showing of teamwork and the spirit of enthusiasm by our class, it was a success. The junior play had the same results the previous year. Our class seldom used the King ' s English but in¬ vented its own. Such hep idiosyncrasies were a ball, a blast, why not, don ' t get shook, whadda you say? it ' s the greatest, you know it, them there roses, eh, Mr. Clough. Unforgettable! the morning a friend was sup¬ posed to pick up Carol Paschkes. Well, Carol heard a car horn honk. Out she dashed and hopped into the Plymouth and said exuberantly, hi, to the driver reading the newspaper. Much to her exasperation when the newspaper dropped, so did Carol ' s face. The driver was a complete stranger. While writing this class history several points came to our attention. Amongst them—Mike in¬ augurated the three-day week; Jimmie Neal won third prize in the science fair in junior year; and Barb Kiley surprised her escort when her petticoat fell down on Federal street. Then on March first Gretchen Flo asked Mr. Jonelunas to marry her. It was the day after Feb¬ ruary 29 and Gretchen suddenly remembered that it was leap year. Upon hearing the question, Mr. Jonelunas answered, Yes, you have got lots of money. Gretchen got a laugh out of that. To be serious for a moment, the class of 1960 brought some honors to G.H.S. Jim Shortell and Carolyn Hahn were awarded honorable mention in the annual Merit Scholarship Test. Joyce White was chosen for the candidate in the Winter Car¬ nival Queen Contest. Gretchen Flo was chosen to be the D.A.R. good citizen from Greenfield High. The cheerleaders did a good job at the Frontier Tournament as they always do by winning 3rd place. The boys ' basketball team made the finals at the Assumption Tournament. They played St. Mary ' s in the final game, but lost, thereby win¬ ning 2nd place. The girls ' basketball team also made the Grafton tournament. However, they were beaten by Frontier. In our Sophomore year came the inauguration of a brand new Physics course. This was quite a jolt to such persons as Michael Mott and Jack Curtiss, but near the end of the year they had become two of the best ripple tankers you could find anywhere. Of course they worked with Gayle Martin and Rita Crosby. Could it be they had a little help? One day the class of 1960 was shocked to see a certain girl had a new hairdo. Merilee had finally cut off her pony tail. It wasn ' t long after that that Juli Buracynski also arrived with a new hairdo. 1960 was a year to discover hidden talents. For example, at the Booster day rally Nancy Smith, Joan Whitbeck, and Pat Bresciano did a marvel¬ ous interpretation of a record called Zorro. Speak¬ ing of Booster Day, Sis Edes was our queen. We were all very proud of her and the work she did to support the sports program at G.H.S. And thus we come to the last days of the class of 1960 with the best of memories and the high¬ est of hopes.

El f; Greenfield A course crammed with information that would take a man years of field work to gather.
