This title was decided upon by the class by ballot after due consideration. Names were submitted by var- ious class members and were placed on a ballot which was sub- mitted to the class by the Senior Executive Council. The class decided that a change of title this year was nec- essary because it was the consensus of opinion that the title The Cornelian should not be used again. This feeling was held, since it was thought that The Cornelian should be a special commemo- rative issue of the classbook. Using the title The Cornelian only once would make the issue a singular tribute to Mr. Dunn, our former principal. The traditional title of the classbook The Onion was also felt to be an inappropriate title for the book this year. This feeling was held because Danvers is no longer noted for its large onion production. The title also seemed inappropriate because the common connotation of the word onion makes the title ex- tremely incongruous. We feel that the choice Holten High-Lite is one of the best possible titles for the Holten High Senior classbook. The word Holten serves as an excellent word to connect the book writh Hol- ten High School. The word High also connects the book with high school. Finally, the word High-Lite serves to emphasize that the book contains the highlights and chief remembrances of high school life. Thus, we, the Senior Class of 1959, feel that Holten High- Lite is an excellent title choice for our classbook. We sincerely believe this, and we strongly hope that this title will be the beginning of a long and distinguished series of Holten High-Lites. COMMENT ON THEME CURTAIN GOING UP The class of 1959 has chosen as the theme of Holten High- Lite, “Curtain Going Up.” This appropriate theme signifies the beginning of a series of Holten High-Lites. We feel that an analogy can be conceived between our four years of high school and a four act play. The halls of Holten High provided a setting for the play. Our teachers acted as directors, prompters, and stagemen. The development of our maturity served as the plot. We began the first act as stage struck Freshmen. Our role was one of virtually no importance. In the second act we ob- tained a small part. We were on the stage but in the background. By the third act we were destined to be the stars of tomorrow. By act four we had obtained the lead parts. We had reached our peak. The lights were on us and success was ours. In the short space of four years a chimerical curtain had risen and lowered in one of the most important and wonderful dramas of our lives. MR. ERNEST W. APRIL Principal The newly elected principal of Holten High School, elected this year, is Mr. Ernest W. April. Mr. April assumes his position as prin- cipal with a wide and varied career behind him. He is a native of Salem, Massachusetts. He was graduated from Salem High School in 1932. He then attended Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter, New Hampshire, and was graduated from this institution in 1933. After graduation from Phillips Exeter, Mr. April attended Dartmouth College, from which he was graduated in 1937 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. From Dartmouth Mr. April went to Europe, where he taught in the MacJannet Schools in St. Cloud, France, during 1937 and 1938. He after- ward returned to the United States and taught in the Salem Public Schools in 1941 and 1942. Mr. April then came to Holten High School, where he taught from 1942 to 1958. While a member of the Holten High faculty. Mr. April served in the United States Navy from 1944 to 1946. He is now serving in the Naval Reserve, in which he holds the rank of Lieutenant-Commander. While teaching here at Holten High, Mr. April continued studying to further his ed- ucation. For his achievement in his studies he received a Master of Education degree in 1951 from Harvard University. Mr. April assumed his duties as Principal of Holten High School in 1958. The Class of 1959 wishes Mr. April much luck and success for the future in his position of Principal of Holten High. All school principals regard their posi- tion in a somewhat different light. Each one has his own philosophy about his job. Mr. April sums up his philosophy and ideas about the principalship as follows: “It has been said that ‘he who burns to be all things to all men can be assured that he will do no serious injury to any and possibly no sig- nificant good, but he will make ashes of his own integrity.’ However, this is the role that is forced upon the public high school. Our object is to enable every student to de- velop himself to the extent of his abilities and to insure his chances for success in what- ever endeavor he undertakes after he leaves high school. With the cooperation of all our teachers, we shall strive to perpetuate the tradition and high standards of Holten High. We shall make every effort to prepare our stu- dents to meet the increasingly competitive college admissions problem, and, as facilities are made available, to offer a meaningful terminal education for as many students as possible. Our aim will be to make high school a truly worthwhile experience for every stu- dent. If we can accomplish this to a reason- able degree, we need have no fear for the integrity of our schools.” 6 DEDICATION This year Mr. Ernest W. April begins his first year as Principal of Holten High School. He has also served as advisor to the Senior Class of 1959. He has aided the class in many respects with his wise counsel and advice, and, under his super- vision, the Senior Class was successful in all its undertakings and activities. In recognition of his first year as prin- cipal and of his service as our class advis- or, we, the Senior Class of 1959 appre- ciatively and respectfully dedicate this, the first issue of Holten High-Lite, to Mr. Ernest W. April. STAFF COMMENT Every year the editors of the yearbook are faced with the problem of making the book better than it has ever been before. The outstanding change that has been made in the book this year is the name. In the past years it has been called The Onion with the exception of last year’s book, which was dedicated to our retiring principal Mr. Dunn. The class of “59” is proud to be the first to publish the Holten High-Lite. Other changes that have been introduced are an enlargement of the picture section and a supplement which will include pictures and descrip- tions of activities, such as sports, graduation, and senior reception. We hope that you receive as much enjoyment from looking through your book, as we did in compiling it. We extend our appreciation for the cooperation from the teachers and students whose hard work made this publication possible.

We all realized the significance of this act: the extent and quality of our showing here would certainly be the basis of our next role. We faced with seriousness of purpose the task that lay before us. We grasped it firmly and did not waiver, though it strived to shake us loose. In our concentration we hardly took notice that we were on stage and part of the main show. We began our business for the Junior year with elections to fill the roles of class officers. Mr. Olds was elected class advisor; Walter Lang, President; Lucille LaPointe, Vice-President; Robert Boyd, Secre- tary ; and Jean Spakas, Treasurer. The following students were elected in the previous year to represent our class on the Student Council: Allan Rikkola, Jane Warman, James Cassotis, Stowe Sayward, Richard Phillips, and Cheryl Glover. In its Junior year, our class attained a very prominent position in the affairs of Molten High School. Two of the three Latin club officers and all four of the Spanish Club officers were members of n|| were very active in the Sweater Benefit and in all the sch tions. Our class was well represented in all sports. Here developed one of the main strands of our plot; our cla scale preparation for college careers. We were determined to the completion of preparations in the Senior year; the scope of opera- tions was greater than it had ever been. A great many of us took the College Entrance Examination Board Tests in May of this year. This challenge was preceded by many hours of preparatory classes after school. Many of us also took, though mainly for test experience, the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test and a mathematics tesl given by the University of Massachusetts at Phillips Academy. The extent of these rehearsals trained us well for the major tests of the Senior year. ain scene of the Junior year, of course, concerned the Junior Prom. Preceded by two months of careful preparations by various com- mittees, it was held during a snow and rain storm on April eleventh, nine- teen fifty-eight. Nevertheless, the prom, entitled “Candylandl and deco- rated appropriately, was a festive occasion. Fine music was provided by Manual’s Black and White Orchestra, and photographs taken by a pro- fessional photographer were available to the couples. Complete coopera- tion from all concerned made ouizJuniajr Prom a wonderful success. Finally, to aid our financial situation, we held a car wash in June of this year. Under the personal direction of Mr. Olds, our class ad- visor. and with great cooperation from thej.cla.ss, the car wash became a huge success. We earned over one hundred forty dollars and l ecame one of the richest classes in recent years. Thus, with much hard work and careful planning, our class prepared well for the enormous responsibilities of our Senior year. After much experience and success in the Junior year, we expected to accomplish even more in the Senior year. At any rate, we eagerly awaited what we knew would be the greatest act of all — our Senior year. 21 There most importa: rose nor did we ceased o seemed incn We were Sen; Led byj start.

SENIOR EXECUTIVE COUNCIL The Senior Executive Council, a group com- posed of home room representatives and the class officers, is proceeding with plans for a successful and memorable graduation and re- ception—the latter to be held this year at the High School. The principal function of the Senior Executive Council is to transact class business without the cumbersome delay of holding a class meeting. The Council also pre- pares important business to be voted on by the class. Mr. April serves as advisor to the Senior Class Executive Council. The Seniors were sponsors of two school social events of note during the season. The Senior Prom, as usual, was a night to remem- ber. The second event was a mock basketball game between the sexes, billed as “Beauty and the Beast.” In this game the girls masque- raded as boys, and the boys, in turn, dressed as girls. Needless to say, this affair, however ridiculous as an athletic exhibition, was an out- standing financial success. On behalf of the yearbook, the Council com- piled a list of titles which w'as presented to the class for approval. It was voted that the cur- rent yearbook be called Holten High-Lite. 46 STUDENT COUNCIL RKrjLTRer«eSaDG?rd?a Che,Tlo l0VeroWalterJ L ?� J mes Ca88otis (President), Jane Warman, Christina Mou- O’Brien, [cha d PhiHr nn FlyCnn. tOWe SayWard' Alla Rikkola' Mr' Du ™ • Advisor, Mr. Olds. Advisor, Charles STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council this year dealt with many varied and formidable problems. For the first time the magazine drive was organized and supervised by the Council. The drive, as a whole, was very successful. With the help of the advisor, Mr. Olds, the group organized the Pep Squad. The Student Council also discussed problems such as the parking lot, lack of weekly rallies, and student traffic in the cor- ridors. Most of these problems will be solved when the new high school is built. The Council discussed the controversial issue of boys’ ath- letic sweaters. The group decided that since the boys earned their individual sweaters, they should be allowed to give them away, if they wish. Another issue discussed was the point system. The purpose of this system is to pre- vent any one person from burdening himself with too many extracurricular activities. The system was voted down since the Council felt that one person might be capable of handling a number of positions, and it would not be just that he be denied the right to do so. The Student Council Dance was a great suc- cess this year. The music for the dance was supplied by Larry Lane and his Orchestra. ( arol Cooper and David LaMontagne became Queen and King as the result of an elimination dance. The Student Council officers for the year 58-59 were as follows: James Cassotis, Presi- dent; Walter Lang. Vice-President; Cheryl Glover, Secretary; and Jane Warman, Treas- urer. We leave Holten High with sincere hopes that next year’s Student Council, under the direction of Mr. Olds, will be as successful as this year’s Council. 47 HOLTEN STAFF Front How: Allan Rikkola, Jean Spakas, Jane Warman, Suzanne Kelley.

THE HOLTEN As in preceding years. The Holten was ad- judged the best magazine in its class in the New England Scholastic Press Association contest. The Holten won “Highest Achieve- ment” in this contest. Our staff has high hopes of receiving the highest honors in the nation again in the Columbia Scholastic Press Associa- tion contest for the third consecutive year. This year our Editor-in-Chief was James Cassotis. The other editors of our magazine were Ann Flynn, Allan Rikkola, Jane Warman, Brenda Cloutier, Robert Anastasi, Melvin Keddy, Tina Moustakis, Suzanne Kelley, and Judith Houle. With the help of these editors The Holten again retained its prize-winning form. None of these prizes would have been won without the excellent supervision of our Advisor, Mr. Richard P. Zollo. We were especially fortunate to have the Golden Anniversary of The Holten celebrated in 1959. The largest issue in the history of the magazine was produced. Deadlines, assemblies, subscriptions, and especially Mr. Zollo will remain a fond mem- ory in the minds of all who helped put together The Holten. 48 FRENCH CLUB Front Row: Cheryl Glover, Eloise Crocker, Catherine Arvanitides, Barbara Lang, Diane Duffy, Janice Coleman, Patricia Nadeau.

FRENCH CLUB The aim of the French Club during the year 1958-1959, as in past years, has been to pro- vide an opportunity to speak French and to further the understanding of French life and culture. With Madame Maney presiding over the group, the year 1958-1959 was very enjoyable. Club members engaged in many varying activi- ties. including games, group singing, bowling, swimming, and skating. Most important, how- ever, were the conversations in French and the discussions on France. The senior members of the club were as fol- lows: Catherine Arvanitides, Laurent Brous- seau, Eloise Crocker, Christine Crossman, Diane Duffy, Judith Houle. Marjorie Huse. Barbara Lang, Patricia Nadeau, and Joanne Whipple. They all greatly enjoyed their last year with the club and all the activities that it provided. The year’s events ended with a trip to Bos- ton to see a French production and to eat at a French restaurant. The officers of the French Club for the year 1958-1959 were Carol Clement, President; Bar- bara Lang, Vice-President; Mary Gordon, Sec- retary; and Ellen Curran, Treasurer. 49 LATIN CLUB Front How; Patricia Rollins.

LATIN CLUB The Latin Club began its year’s activities with a meeting held at the horne of Mrs. Rich- ardson. All of the members were dressed in Roman togas and laurel wreaths. Blindfolded, the members were made to stamp barefooted on juicy grapes and were fed a “sour drink.’ Later, the officers for the year 1957-1958 were elected: Ann Winskowicz, Consul; James Cas- sotis, Quaestor; and Allan Rikkola, Scriba. Several meetings were held throughout the year including such entertainment as a trip to Boston to see “Around the World in Eighty Days,” a Christmas party held at the home of Lennie Drew, and an evening of swimming at the Beverly YMCA with the Future Teachers of America Club. Other informal meetings were held during the year. The final meeting was held at Joanne Whipple’s home where the mem- bers, dressed in togas, enjoyed a wonderful chicken dinner. The year 1958-1959 brought another reunion of the Latin Club with its new members, who were initiated at the first meeting. The newly elected officers were Eloise Crocker, Consul; Margie Geary, Program Director; Susan Sprague, Scriba; and Janet Joyce, Quaestor. The Latin Club this year went to Boston to see “South Pacific” and afterwards went to Biagi’s Restaurant. 50 SPANISH CLUB Front Row: Elizabeth Hilton, Brenda Rydberg, Edward Russell, David LaMontagne, Madeline Duffill, Roberta Leach, Theresa Gourdeau.

SPANISH CLUB Pupils in Spanish II and III and Juniors and Seniors in Spanish I, maintaining a B average or better, belong to El Club Espanol. The members speak only Spanish at the meet- ings, thus becoming more proficient in the language. At meetings which were devoted entirely to entertainment, the club went bowling and rol- lerskating. During the Christmas holidays the club played host to the French Club at the home of President Barbara Vorel. At other meetings guests lectured on the customs of the various Spanish-speaking nations. The Con- stitution of the club has been completely trans- lated into Spanish by the Vice-President, Rich- ard Gebow, with the help of the group. The ultimate goal of El Club Espanol is not only to improve the art of conversation, but also to acquaint club members with the various cultures of the Spanish-speaking nations. The officers this year were as follows: Bar- bara Vorel, President; Richard Gebow, Vice- President ; Karen Tongue, Secretary; Ann Swiniarski, Treasurer. 51 THE GLEE CLUB Front Row: Elizabeth Knowles, Marjorie Geary, Lois Gould, Brenda Rydberg, Madeline Duffill, Elizabeth Hilton, Theresa Gourdeau, Patricia Corthell, Patricia Nadeau, Joanne Kasanenko, Suzanne Phinney.

GLEE CLUB We were very pleased by the outstanding per- formance of the Holten High Glee Club. Perhaps the fine results this year may be accredited to the work of our Director, Alphonse Tatarunis, the participa- tion of the students, and the cooperation of the faculty. This year the Glee Club consisted of ap- proximately two-hundred singers. The club appeared at the Music Festival in April, and was also the guest of the Rotary Club at the New Ocean House. The Glee Club presented several songs, plus a pa- triotic tribute entitled the Ballad For Americans. Very much time and effort were contributed by the students and Mr. Tatarunis to make this year an outstanding one for the Glee Club. Special appreciation should go to Judy Hawkes, our Senior soloist, and Eloise Crocker, our Senior pianist. Best wishes to Mr. Tatarunis and his future Glee Clubs. MR.

GIRLS’ CHOIR This year the Holten High School Girls’ Choir had a much larger membership than last year and an established time and place of meeting. Each Monday and Thursday morning during activities period, the entire group met in the Richmond School Auditorium. After three months of preparation and re- hearsal, the Choir presented a Christmas Can- tata at the Masonic Temple for the Rotary Club. Again in December, the Choir sang for the Hunt Memorial Hospital Aid Association at the Maple Street Church. In May the Choir presented a program of music in the annual spring concert. Having been successful previously at the Northeastern Music Festival, the girls again participated in the competition under the di- rection of Mr. Alphonse Tatarunis. This year, with better organization and new enthusiasm, the Girls’ Choir has become a more polished musical group. 53 SWEATER BENEFIT Front How: Roberta Leach. Patricia Nadeau.

SWEATER BENEFIT Chaos and confusion! Pandemonium and dis- order! That’s what the rehearsals for the Sweater Benefit seemed to be. Our thanks to Miss Damon. How she ever organized and ex- ecuted such an enjoyable and successful show with the huge, boisterous gang that partici- pated we’ll never know. As usual, under Miss Damon’s direction, Holten High again produced a Sweater Benefit that drew the customary large crowd and lived up to the audience’s high- est expectations. “Anything Goes” was the theme of the 1958- 1959 show and a more appropriate name could not have been chosen! The audience found everything in the way of laughter and good entertainment. We were all petrified when the curtain had parted at last. The football players ended their singing, and Jimmy Cassotis, the Master of Ceremonies, greeted the audience. With pretended calmness we reassured each other, congratulated relieved performers, and checked the schedule of acts a thousand times. Once we were on stage, however, we all hammed it up and each act stole the show. We were all having as much fun as the audience was. Our own seniors were great! Judy Hawkes sang; Dave LaMontagne equaled Fred Astaire; Janice Coleman lost her skirt; two tramps ambled through; and Rip Van Winkle and Wolf turned out to be “rock and rollers!’ The other senior acts were just as wonderful and memor- able. 54 FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA Front Row: Judith Roberts, Barbara Lang, Jane Warman, Marjorie Geary, Patricia Nadeau.

FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA Each year the Future Teachers of America Club, a group that began just a few years back with a mere handful of six members, has grown and grown. This year it reached an all-time record with a membership list of fifty! The school meetings were squeezed in on Thurs- day’s activity period, once a month, in a jam- packed typing room. The second meeting of the group was an evening one held at some gener- ous member’s home. Dick Sauchuk, one of the few fellows in the club, was President this year. With the assist- ance of his active Vice-President, Ellen Curran, and the group’s energetic advisor, Mr. Olds, an educational and pleasant program was planned and presented. First on the agenda was an evening get-to- gether in the school’s cafeteria, where several Hoi ten High School graduates who had entered training for the teaching profession answered many of the club members’ questions. After- wards refreshments were served and the en- joyable evening came to an end. Later in the season a Splash Party was organized, and, after an hour or so of swim- ming, the happy crew supped on pizzas at John’s. A second beneficial and educational program was given by a local teacher who had toured Europe during the summer and had had teach- ing experience there. The club members found her colored slides and narrative very interesting. The F. T .A. ended its year with a beach party where everyone got a sunburn, ate and drank his fill, and enjoyed the swimming and the general horseplay. 55 CHEERLEADERS Christina Moustakis, Theresa Gourdeau, Brenda Chafe, Cynthia Tataronis, Diane Duffy, Jane Warman. THE CHEERLEADERS The cheerleaders, led by their Co-Cap tains, Tina Moustakis and Jane War- man, enjoyed a season of sports well worth cheering about. Whether at foot- ball, basketball or hockey, our girls re- mained loyal in victory or defeat. This year following an exciting foot- ball season, several cheerleaders con- tinued the ice skating squad which was originated for Danvers in “58”. With hockey and basketball in the same sea- son the girls had a busy time cheering and practicing for both. The girls with the help of Mr. April have acquired sweaters which are to be a permanent part of the cheerleading uniform. In addition to the sweaters the girls obtained new royal blue skirts. The squad enjoyed a change of uniforms for the basketball and hockey season. With the aid of the Baton Squad and the loyal Pep Squad, the cheerleaders organized two dances: the annual Trophy Dance and a Halloween Dance. They both were very successful, and, as usual, everyone had a wonderful time. 56 BATON SQUAD Suzanne Kelley, Lois Gould, Lucille Lapointe, Judith Brimicombe, Margie Geary. BATON SQUAD The Baton Squad this year consisted of twelve members: Marjorie Geary, Lucille La- pointe, Judi Brimicombe, and Lois Gould were the Seniors on the 1958-1959 squad. Other ac- tive members of the squad were Faye Graffam, Carole Handy, Helen Hutchings, Sandra Law- son, Virginia Marques, and Joyces Penta of the Junior Class; Janice Groom of the Sophomore Class; and Jan Conroy of the Freshman Class. The Baton Squad was present at all of the football games and rallies this year and per- formed between the halves of these games. They also showed their versatility and talent by doing a dance in the annual Sweater Benefit. In December the squad participated in the parade which brought Santa Claus to town. The squad marched along with the band at the an- nual Music Festival. The Memorial Day parade brought the squad’s season to an end. Credit should be given to Lucille Lapointe, the squad leader, who began practice early in the summer to work out and perfect the many intricate maneuvers that the girls on the squad so flawlessly exhibited at all perform- ances. The Baton Squad also took lessons from Carol Whalen, a professional dancer, this fall. Marjorie Geary, who was the drum major- ette this year, demonstrated excellent skill in her solos. Her new uniform was eye-catching on the field and was in keeping with the Dan- vers blue and white colors. The Senior members of the squad leave this year with many pleasant memories, and they wish the other members of the squad much luck in the coming season. 57 PEP SQUAD Front: Marilyn Stier.

PEP SQUAD The Pep Squad was organized by the Student Council and was under the direction of Mr. Olds. The group was composed of Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior girls. Bus transportation was provided for all out of town games. The buses made it possible for more students to attend the games than could have attended otherwise. The increase in at- tendance, in turn, raised the spirit of the team and other students. The Pep Squad also in- spired the team by their rousing cheers and songs, which could be heard clearly on the opposite side of the football field. Even though the team did not always win, they knew that their schoolmates were still behind them. Members of the Pep Squad helped the cheer- leaders in planning and presenting a successful football dance this year. The Pep Squad succeeded in its purpose, and we hope that there will be as many, if not more, members in the future. 58 SENIOR PLAY CAST Front Row: Gail Clewes, Bonnie Conroy, Joanne Whipple, Brenda Rydberg, Rebecca Laux, Jane Warman, Christina Mou- stakis.

HEADIN’ FOR A WEDDIN’ This year our class broke away from the traditional American family type of plot and selected a play that was really “different.” The play was presented on April 3 at the Pea- body Institute Library. A large advertising campaign was carried out to publicize the play. All those connected with the play felt that it would be a great success. When the night of April 3 arrived, their expectations were real- ized. Headin’ for a Weddin’ was the interest-rous- ing title of our play, a hilarious hill-billy comedy. Mr. Russell served as director of the play. With the assistance of several other teachers tryouts were held, and the final cast was chosen. It consisted of the following: Ho- mer—Eddie Russell; Maw— Janice Coleman; Paw— Joe Neubauer; Sarah Jo— Tina Mou- stakis; Grade May— Jane Warman; Fannie Jane — Bonnie Conroy; Pepper — Mike Ma- dore; Sis— Brenda Rydberg; Grandpappy— Donald Higgins; Slim — Bob Boyd; Melissa — Becky Laux; Hortense— Gail Clewes; Isabel— Joanne Whipple; Widow Blairhouse— Eloise Crocker; Bertha— Judi Brimicombe. As re- hersals got underway each player seemed an excellent choice for the various characteri- zations. Rehersals were long and hard, and as time grew short extra ones frequently had to be held. Everyone worked his hardest to make this play the success that it should be, for it was a play with a great deal of action and many very funny parts and lines. Paw’s pet skunk, Gloria, and the play’s surprise ending, plus each of the lovable hill-billies and the eccentric city folk, will be remembered long after the ap- plause has died away. 59 HONOR. STUDENTS Front: Mr. April, Principal. Hack How: Allan Rikkola, Valedictorian; Gail Clewes, Essayist; Robert Anastasi, Salutatorian. HONOR STUDENTS With graduation approaching and the school year drawing to a close, an exciting pitch of anticipation pervaded the senior class. The final race was on. Competition was keen. Every point was important towards the final tallying of the four years’ academic work and the selection of the class’s three top students, cer- tainly a select three in a class of our size. One Senior Day the three honor students were finally announced officially amidst loud applause from their admiring classmates. First summonded to the stage was Gail Clewes, who held the third highest position. Essayist. Sec- ond highest was Robert Anastasi, graduating as Salutatorian. The highest honor of all was achieved by Allan Rikkola, who is our Vale- dictorian. The honors which have been earned by these three represent four years of diligent studying and excellent grades. Allan intends to become an electronics engin- eer. Robert is planning to be a research chemist. Gail desires to obtain a degree in nursing. With their talents and ability, they are sure to be successful in their respective fields. The Senior Class is more than proud of the inspiring examples these three have set and the honors which they have achieved. The class sincerely wishes them all the greatest success and happiness. 60 FOOTBALL Front Row: Phillip Morse, Robert Boyd, Walter Lang, Robert Brenner. Back Row: Francis Mills, Heywood Tarbuck, Rob- ert Sojka, Edward Russell. FOOTBALL This year the Holten High football team, despite a lack of veterans and a slow start, compiled a record of three wins, four losses, and two ties. Co-Captains Robert Boyd and Walter Lang were the only returning starters from the 1957-58 eleven. The following is a list of seniors on the 1958-59 football team: Robert Boyd, Walter Lang, Heywood Tarbuck, Fran- cis Mills, Robert Sojka, Phillip Morse, and Ro- bert Brenner. We were defeated in our first game by a strong Needham High football team. In the next two games, Swampscott and Andover, the Blue and White was also defeated. The follow- ing Saturday we rallied and tied Newburvport, 14-14. The team began to toughen up, and our next three games at Stoneham, Marblehead, and Woburn were thrilling victories. Our win over Woburn was an exciting upset and high- lighted the season. We dropped the next game to Amesbury by the score of 14-6. In the finale the Thanksgiving Day game, we tied the high- ly favored Winthrop team, 6-6. Coach Glen O’Brien and his assistants, Lou Surman and Frank Bettencourt, did a fine job in Danvers’ first year with the “T” formation. Their inspiration, both on and off the gridiron, will long be remembered by the members of this year’s squad. 62 63 BASKETBALL SENIORS Phillip Morse, Vincent Farley (Captain), James Cassotis. BASKETBALL Our 1959 basketball team, coached by the very competent Mr. George Radulski, included three sen- iors: Captain Vincent Farley, Phillip Morse, and James Cassotis. Because of the lack of experience at the beginning of the year, the team lost its first three games. Nevertheless, as the season progressed, the boys gained both confidence and experience. As a result, the team won several games. The boys started off the winning season with a thrilling game by beating Amesbury in an over-time—the winning basket was scored by Phil Morse. Vinny Farley was both an ex- cellent basketball player and an inspiring captain. The team, as a whole, showed a great deal of drive, determination, and enthusiasm throughout the year. The boys went on to beat the school rivals, Marblehead and Woburn, in two more exciting games. The squad received a great deal of inspira- tion from the cheerleaders, who attended every game faithfully. We leave Hclten High with best wishes and hopes for another wining season under the capable coaching of Coach Radulski.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Miss Marie Weber, Director of Girls’ Athletics Of all the girls’ sports, basketball is indubitably the favorite. This year there were many more candidates out for intramural basketball than in any preceding year. The tournaments, as always, were filled with action and excitement. Newburyport and Topsfield are two of the more formidable opponents which our basketball team play- ed. Since our opponents have regular varsity teams, the scores have been somewhat one-sided. Thanks to Miss Weber, the girls have learned both the fundamentals of basketball and, more important, good sportsmanship. Our senior girls certainly deserve a great deal of credit for an outstanding record throughout their four years at Holten High. 66 FIELD HOCKEY Front Row: Janice Coleman, Judith Whittaker, Ann Flynn, Jean Spakas, Eloise Crocker. Cheryl Glover. Back Row: Carol Cooper, Virginia Tarr, Gail Clewes, Cynthia Wiley, Suzanne Kelley, Jane Warman, Christina Moustakis, Miss Marie Weber. FIELD HOCKEY The field hockey team experienced a thoroughly enjoyable season even though it was not a winning one. Every game, however, ended with close scores; never more than one or two points separated the winner from the loser. Our team was inexperienced. However, under the able direction of Miss Marie Weber there is no doubt that the field hockey team is headed for very successful seasons in the future. Jean Spakas was chosen team captain and her spark boosted the team’s spirit. This year all but one of the participating seniors were defensive backs. Judy Whittaker, who always played a great game, was the lone senior in the forward line. Jean Spakas, Ann Flynn, Eloise Crocker, and Janice Coleman backed up the for- ward line and also assisted in scoring the goals. Among the opponents played were Swamp- scott, Lynnfield, Topsfield, and North Shore Country Day. Of all the games which were played, those with rival Swampscott will long be remembered. The bus trips added greatly to the fun of the hockey season. None of us will forget the day we went to Lynnfield for a game. Signals .got mixed and girls from Lynnfield went to Danvers. The game finally got under way after the Lynnfield girls realized their mistake and returned home. Through their participation in these games, the girls experienced good sportsman- ship and acquired great skill in playing. Special thanks are due Miss Weber for her excellent coaching. 67 Front Row: Cynthia Tataronis. Janice Coleman, Ann Flynn, Jean Spakas, Judith Whittaker, Jane Warman. Second Ro v: Roberta Leach, Madeline Duffill, Joanne Whipple, Rae Prentiss, Barbara Begin, Christina Moustakis, Elizabeth Hilton, Miss Weber. SOFTBALL As the fresh spring weather arrived, we found thirty-three energetic girls limbering up for the softball season. The sound of solid hits and the sure catch of the ball in the glove heightened the anticipation of a good season. An occasional sprained finger and bruised knee did not hamper the team spirit. The initial skill shown in practice was confirmed as the schedule of games turned out to be exciting, successful encounters for the girls. The swift pitching of Jean Spakas com- bined with the fine fielding of her team mates provided many victories. Our opponents included such schools as Topsfield, Lynnfield, Newburyport, and Wo- burn. The most memorable game last year was played at Woburn. Danvers emerged the vic- tor 33-12. Janice Coleman and Ann Flynn each contributed five runs for their team. This game concluded a highly successful season. 68 Front Row: Elizabeth Hilton. Judith Whittaker. Ann Flynn, Janice Coleman. Jean Spakas, Barbara Bejrin, Judith Brimi- eonibe. Back Row: Miss Weber.

GIRLS’ RECREATION ASSOCIATION Front Row: Ann Flynn, White Captain: Jean Spakas, Blue Captain. Back Row: Janice Coleman, President of G. R. A.; Miss Weber, director of Girls’ Athletics. The Girls’ Recreation Association is a new addition to the girls’ sports program this year .Its purpose it to allow all the girls who participate in sports, whether intramural or varsity competition, to earn an award. The girls’ goal is to earn enough points to obtain the highest award, a sweat- er. Besides sports activities, this group held three play nights for its members. At their meetings, volleyball, bas- ketball, group singing, and refreshments provided the girls with a full evening of fun and activity. Two of the senior officers of the club, Janice Coleman, president, and Judy Whittaker, point recorder, used their enthusiasm to start the group off to a busy and active fu- ture. BLUE AND WHITE CAPTAINS As a result of balloting, Jean Spakas and Ann Flynn were chosen from the top five point winners in girls’ ath- letics to lead the blue and white teams. Sports contests in field hockey, volleyball, basketball, and softball kept the competition for the team cup high throughout the year. 69 ADVISOR’S COMMENT Unlike Theseus’ explanation of a poem, a yearbook is not made of “airy nothing.” It is the product of much labor. Few stu- dents realize the effort expended in order to make the yearbook a reality. Unfortunately, most people tend to regard the year- book as something which magically appears each June; the stu- dent produces a few dollars, and the yearbook is there. Such, how- ever, is not the case. A yearbook is the result of the untiring efforts of a hard- working core of the student body. Too few realize the time and ef- fort expended, the disappointment and inconvenience suffered, or the pride and gratification felt during the production of a yearbook. It is a demanding, but a rewarding task. Our Yearbook is now reality. It would never have come into being had it not been for the efforts of many people. I wish to acknowledge the gracious assistance rendered by Mrs. Doris Hughes, Mrs. Madaline Nolan, Mrs. Gertrude O’Connell, Mr. Roger Barry, and Mr. Andy Konovalchik. Their suggestions were invaluable. Among the students, special recognition must be at- tributed to Jim Cassotis, who, although not officially a member of our staff, devoted much time and toil to our book. Robert Anastasi, Judi Brimicombe, Bonnie Conroy, Richard Fowler, Don and Hal Gooding, Marjorie Huse, Eleanor Kowalski, and Judith Ziolkowski are also deserving of special praise for their zealous efforts. To all members of the Yearbook Staff who devoted time to the book 1 wish to extend my gratification for a job excellently completed. Finally, I wish to acknowledge the gargantuan labors of Allan Rikkola, Jr., who, like Hercules, literally bore the bur- den of the book upon his shoulders. No task was too small, nor was any task too difficult for Rik to cope with and conquer. He was plagued with a late beginning, a disorganized staff, and and a novice advisor. Despite these obstacles, A1 met deadlines, reorganized the staff, at times, advised the advisor, and, in brief, produced the Yearbook. To speak of Allan Rikkola, I must borrow from Shakespeare for adequate expression: “Nature might stand up and say to all the world, ‘This was a man!’ ” For a job well done, I render my deepest congratulations and appreciation to all who in anyway aided in the production of the Holten High-Lite.

SPring 1-0263 AUTOGRAPHS SUPPLEMENT GRADUATION As we gathered together in the main room of the library that Thursday evening and performed last minute primping and tie-straightening, we suddenly realized that this, at last, was the mo- ment we had all anticipated for four years. The strains of the Grand Triumphal March drifted over the green lawns and into the open door as we solemnly marched out and filed im- pressively up the long aisle, which was banked by rows of our proud parents, relatives, and friends. We took our seats, and the program began with an invocation and the class hymn. Following this, Robert Anastasi delivered his salutatory speech. Then we all joined in singing another of the hymns that we had so frequently rehearsed to- gether. Our essayist, Gail Clewes, spoke next. Her speech was followed by our last hymn. Over the still green the voice of our class soloist, Judy Hawkes, rang sweet and clear. Now the valedictory speech was given by Allan Rikkola. The presentations were next on the pro- gram. Among the many deserving students who received scholarships and honors were Robert Anastasi, Robert Boyd, James Cassotis, Gail Clewes, Eloise Crocker, Richard Fowler, Marjorie Geary, Judy Hawkes, Judy Houle, Tina Moustakis, Allan Rikkola, and Joanne Whipple. Each of us experienced our own thrill as we rose, row by row, waited tensely for our names to be called, and finally walked proudly across the platform and received our diplomas. It seemed that at this time the dark clouds, which had been hovering ominously overhead throughout the ceremony, parted and let the radiance of the setting sun shine through. It was a perfect graduation. The words of the benediction were reverently received. Then, white tassels swinging jauntily from the left side of our caps, we joyously march- ed off in a splash of blue caps and gowns. The library room was a din of laughter and happy chatter as gowns and caps were flung off and tassels joyously claimed. A mad scramble en- sued as we grabbed our long awaited Holten High- Lites and dashed off to various graduation cele- brations. 98 For years to com ; , ach of us will say with sin- cere feeling that our reception was without doubt the most enjoyable ever. Certainly the beautiful decorations, produced by much Junior labor and effort, did much to enhance the atmosphere. The gym was transformed into a lovely ballroom dec- oratively roofed with gently swaying pastel streamers. Rows of Japanese lanterns softly shone on the other decorations that elaborated the Oriental theme. In our tour of the dance floor we found in one corner a blossoming cherry tree. Op- posite this in another corner stood a bridge with a lovely Oriental maiden gazing down on a grass- and flower-surrounded pool. The whole effect was both enchanting and charming. The fine music of Geoffrey Carlton’s orchestra did much to complement the decorations and to transform the gym into an Oriental paradise. It put everyone into a dancing mood and the gym really ‘‘rocked around the clock” that night. Parents and friends crowded the balcony to gaze upon the attractive couples. Soft, full gowns of white, pastel and other shades flowered the dance floor. Skirts billowed and swirled as couples waltzed around the room. Every girl and her es- cort were looking their best. One of the most exciting moments of the even- ing came w'hen our queen was chosen. Seven young ladies had previously been selected as finalists. Members of this lovely group were Jane Warman, Barbara Lusky, Lucille Lapointe, Marjorie Geary, Theresa Gourdeau, Cheryl Glover, and Rebecca Laux. They and their escorts danced together as cards were drawn and couples eliminated until Lucille Lapointe and Barbara Lusky were the two final- ists still dancing. The final card was chosen and Lucille became our queen. Later in the evening a delicious sherbert punch was served. More dancing followed until, wearily, but happily, we departed to various post-reception dinners. Various breakfast parties concluded a memorable reception. 100 101 BASEBALL SENIORS Front Row: Phillip Morse, Janies Cassotis (Captain), Vincent Farley. Rear: Robert Brenner. BASEBALL Despite the lack of veterans on the squad in 1959, the Holten High baseball team did very well. The four Seniors on the team this year were as follows: Captain James Cassotis, Robert Brenner, Phillip Morse, and Vincent Farley. Underclassmen Harry Williams and Richard Sauchuk were great assets to the team this season. Their performance indicates that they will greatly aid the DIIS base- ball team next year. The team as a whole had a fluctuating record of wins and losses throughout the season. In gen- eral, however, the team defeated the better teams and lost to the lower ranking clubs by small mar- gins. We were the first team to beat Winthrop this season. The most thrilling game of the year was the one in which we defeated Marblehead, there- by preventing them from winning the North- eastern Conference championship. Catcher Jim Cassotis led the team in batting and in runs batted in. Outfielder Phillip Morse saved many games with his big bat and his prow- ess in the field. Outfielder Vinnv Farley proved a good leadoff batter and led the team in runs scored. Bob Brenner did a good job at third base. Coach George Radulski did an excellent job in training the almost inexperienced team. The Seniors on the team will never forget the batting drills, the locker room fights, and the little bits of philosophy offered by Coach Radulski. 03 TRACK SENIORS Front Row: Robert Boyd, Walter Lang (Captain), Donald Sutherland. Back Row: Robert Sojka, Coach Leistinger, Michael Madore. TRACK The Holten High 1959 track team was paced through the season by Captain Walter Lang and Robert Boyd, the only Seniors. Wally specialized in the running events, while Bob’s specialty was the field events. Lang ran the 100 and 220-yard dashes. The events in which Boyd excelled were the high jump and the broad jump. Wally led the team scoring for the season with 48% points, and Boyd placed second with 45% points. The total points scored by Boyd and Lang were almost half of the total points scored by the team all season. In the Northeastern Conference meet, the last meet of the season, DHS placed fourth out of the eight competing schools. Captain Lang’s victory in the 220 yard dash in the Conference meet was the climax of the season. Although we did not enjoy a winning season, the team exhibited fine spirit and sportsmanship. The underclassmen, although lacking experience, performed quite well all season. They showed ex- ceptional promise particularly in the running events. We wish to express our thanks to Coaches Lawrence Leistinger and J. Casey Olds for a good season. We wish Captain-elect Jeff Burnham luck for next season. 05 106 RECOLLECTIONS RECOLLECTIONS ■
