ROGERS We shared in the general expression of pleasure as Mr. Joseph R. Rogers assumed his new office --Principal of Ipswich High School — since we had been fortunate to have been under his supervision when he served as Principal of the Ipswich Junior High School. With his calm, albeit firm, disposition he has guided us along our way and has won the respect and admiration of the entire student body. We, the Class of 1961, are confident that future classes of Ipswich High School will appreciate, as we have, his interest and efforts on their behalf. We wish Mr. Rogers many more years of satisfying associations with the youth of Ipswich. 4 DEDICATION MRS. MARY L. NORTON We, the Class of 1961, proudly dedicate our yearbook to Mrs. Norton whose unselfish aid and guidance has brightened the long, often dark, road to the successful completion of our high school career. In awe at her familiarity with so many fields of knowledge, we deem her the wisest friend we have, though adult wisdom and adolescent friendship may seem odd companions. The experiehceof having had Mrs. Norton as our English teacher for two years has taught us that under the stern, serious mien of the classroom teacher lies a maternal solicitude for our welfare. We are happy to have this opportunity to express our affection and appreciation. 5 IPSWICH HIGH LANGUAGES B. Lucas, R. Smith, T. Guilfoy C. MacDonald, M, Norton, M. Worthington VOCATIONAL R.

BAKER At last the time has come --unbelievable though it seemed four years ago when we entered Ipswich High School, on Sep- tember 9, 1957, as Freshmen. How conscientiously we memorized our locker combinations; but, in spite of all our efforts, it was nearly impossible to open the lockers. Being Freshmen was exciting. Class officers were elected and the boys received the majority of executive offices: William Hughes, President; Paul Frydrych, Vice-President; Thomas Flynn, Treasurer. Cynthia Wass was elected Class Secretary. A favorite teacher was Mrs. Christensen of English I. Memorable in- cidents were Tom Flynn executing a cheer, and Julie throwing paper air- planes! Remember how disappointed Joanie Sullivan was when she found that the Glee Club was for girls only? Can we ever forget the day demure, little Susie Davis came to school and announced that henceforth she was to be addressed as Moose”! The Onions in the Stew provided an opportunity for a display of the great talent of our classmates, as well as almost a hundred dollars for our scholarship fund. As we finally got into the swing of high school life, signalled by the dis- carding of our worn, strained schedule cards, we found it was time for our summer vacation. How we swaggered out of school - little realizing that the challenges of that first year were nothing to those of the next three years. The second chapter in our class history began in September of 1958 when we returned to I.H.S. as Sophomores. Our class leaders were chosen soon afterwards: William Hughes, President; Donna Burnham, Vice-Pres- ident; Susan Davis, Treasurer; and Cynthia Wass, Secretary. That year we lost Betsy Franklin to St. Johnsbury Academy, Vermont, and Donna Dr owne to Christian High School in Cambridge; and we welcomed Claudette Fournier from Newport, Vermont. Latin II and French I were favorite topics of conversation. We will never forget Garry Cutler ' s livid translations in Latin II. Phil Howard and TomScahill formed a singing group, and the corridors literally rang with the sound of joyful, young men ' s voices serenading any- one who ventured near. The Roman banquet put on by the Latin Club was a howling success. Everyone appeared in togas (culled from mother ' s linen closets). How our eyes popped when Miss Allen showed that she was a true Roman - -by re- clining on the table ! Another high point in our Sophomore year was the Valentine Hop with Dan Donovan as Disc Jockey and Freddie Cannon as guest star. We didn ' t dream then that the latter would be a famous recording star, nor that we ' d see him on television. 38 CLASS HISTORY This was the year Helen Achramov.irz, Becky Baker, Barb Gauthier, Gail Clement, and Pauline Poirier initiated an early swimming season. Again as the year came to a close, with yelps of joy we scattered to our various summer-time pre-occupations. Tanned and rested, we eagerly returned to I.H.S. for another adven- turesome year. In our class elections William Hughes was again elected President; David Rogers, Vice-President; Ann Miller, Treasurer; and Cynthia Wass, again our Secretary. We were sorry to lose some of our classmates to other schools: Anne Peters, Oak Grove School; Jeannette Philpott, Walnut Hill; Elyse Brockle- bank, Stratham; Dick Hennessey, Berwick Academy. In their places came Betsy Franklin, Peter Donaher, Lennie and Janet Parker, and Bob Bodwell. Our schooldays were brightened by Mr. Sine ' s Chemistry classes, and the exciting football rallies put on by Mr. Antognoni. I ' m sure none of us will forget our U. S. History classes. After much ado, we were assigned a new history teacher, Mr. Blake, whose calm and genial air brought us back to normalcy. The Driver Ed. program really boomed! It was such a success that, by the end of the year, everyone had his driver ' s license, except Garry and Betsy! JoAnn Bennett and Cynthia Wass surprised us all by having their pic- ture on the front page of the Boston Traveler as commuters from Ipswich to Boston. The day our class rings arrived shone almost as brightly as the rings themselves. We proudly flashed our new possessions at every opportunity. The Minstrel Show presented by the Junior Recreation Com- mittee brought out the talent of many classmates. Art and George stole the show in the Mammy roles. The Junior Prom, May 20, was a dreamy success. The sight of girls beautiful in stunning gowns, and boys handsome in their white coats took everyone ' s breath away. Bill Clapp was especially noteworthy as the Grand March went off without a flaw, even though Bob Bodwell claimed he couldn ' t tell his right foot from his left. One of our favorite classmates, Susie Davis, became ill and missed most of the last half of the year; fortunately, she has since regained her health. College Boards were taken by many brave souls. Pauline had quite an experience on the way to the test. The exams were brain-racking, but our candidates did very well. TheMardi-Gras Ball was a new experience, enjoyed by all. Phil Howard and Jo Ann Bennett made a handsome royal couple as king and queen. John Kelly tickled us all by coming to the dance as a mouse. 39 CLASS HISTORY The final highlight of our Junior year was the Induction of members in- to the National Honor Society. Those tapped from our ranks were Joanne Blunda, Marcia Michon, Pauline Poirier, Julie Ryan, Bill Hughes, and Paul Frydrych. Paul Frydrych and Bill Hughes were Boys ' State delegates from Ipswich. After his election to a state office, Bill was chosen one of the two repre- sentatives from Massachusetts to Boys ' Nation in Washington, D. C. Then, with sighs of relief, we again left the halls of I.H.S. to rest for our starring role as Seniors, the upper crust of a high school student body. The final chapter of our class history opened with a flourish, - our class elections, patterned after those on the national level. After vigorous cam- paign speeches, the displaying of colorful placards, and much undercover work, the results were announced: Phil Howard, President; Bill Clapp, Vice President; Cynthia Wass, Secretary; and Ann Miller, Treasurer. Betsy Franklin left us again, this time for St. Ann ' s School in Arlington. The pitter-patter of many fair maids ' hearts quickened after meeting our new classmate, David Cole, a Southern lad. Jane Ricker, from Iowa, also complemented our class, but for too short a time. We were happy to greet Mr. Rogers, our friend since the Medieval Years of the seventh and eighth grades, as the new Principal of the High School. The girls were pleased to meet Miss Gibbons, the new gym teach- er, although her rules for showers caused much apprehension. French IH was taught by Mr. Smith for the first half of the year. His classes were so thrilling that Brian Grant skipped French II just to be a part of them! Congratulations this year went to Bill Hughes (Good Government Re- presentative), Julie Ryan (the D.A.R. ' s Good Citizen Award), Joanne Mans- field (the Betty Crocker Homemaker Award), John Kelly (the Hoffman A- ward). Art Solomonides (Most Valuable - and Popular - Football Player Awards). John Adams formed a taxi service for six senior girls. After several calamities (e.g., running out of gas, dropping the transmission, and finding egg in the fuel pump), the service was discontinued, a total loss! In our Senior year, our fondest dream as Freshmen was realized. We found big lockers lining both sides of the corridor, from end to end. The extra-ordinary part was that they had no combinations! Yes, our years at I.H.S. were too few, and time passed too fast, but the memories and experiences we managed to gather will never be forgotten. As we leave, after graduation, we will take with us a little bit of every happy hour that we have spent together, as well as with some wonderful teachers and pleasant associates. With this, I close the final chapter in our book of high school life. We are grateful for the attention, guidance, and good wishes we have received, and would like to express our apprecia- tion to all. CLASS WILL D. ROGERS - A.

President: PHIUP HOWARD Vice-President; WILLIAM CLAPP Secretary: CYNTHIA WASS Treasurer: ANN MILLER CLASS PROPHECY D. ORSINI - W. CLAPP Time; 1989 Place: The Capitol, Washington, D.C. Scene; Inauguration Day. Donna Orsini is interviewing Bill Clapp, newly elected Vice- President, about the plans of the new administration headed by Phil Howard as Presi- dent. DONNA: I am lucky to be the only reporter getting a first-hand inside story. This is the first Inauguration I ' ve had to cover while working for Paul Sheppard, Editor of the New York Times. BILL: I’m glad to learn that Paul has done so well ' . I met him at the party for the out-going President Bill Hughes and his Vice-President Dave Rogers, who have done an excellent job meeting the problems of the complex American society and government.” 43 CLASS PROPHECY DONNA: BILL: DONNA: BILL: DONNA: BILL: DONNA: BILL: DONNA: BILL: DONNA: BILL: DONNA: Have you kept in touch with many of our former classmates in Ipswich? A few. President-elect Howard, who has been visiting Cuba, will be flown in today by plane especially chartered from MarkComeau who owns the only existing service between the U. S. and Cuba. Phil will have a chance to re- new old acquaintances with Cynthia Wass, the stewardess. Oh, yes, I talked with Cynthia last year when I interviewed Roger Terry, now a famous aircraft designer, before he took off for Cuba. The airlines have attracted several of our old friends. Nancy Robishaw, a flight nurse, is credited with saving the life of Bill Warner, a passenger on the Floating Breeze (you know Linda LaBrie ' s company) when Denis Brennan, the pilot, was forced to crash land in Bill Seif red ' s flower garden. So Bill has a flower garden ... I always thought his gentle voice and quiet manner hid the soul of an artist. Speaking of artists . . . did you know that Florence Hazen has been commissioned to do the President ' s portrait? In fact, Phil has been lucky that so many of his Ipswich friends have done very well in their respective professions. The problems connected with refur- nishing the White House are being handled exclusively by JoAnn Bennett and Janet Parker, recent graduates of the Beat School of Interior Design, owned by Joanne Blunda. Yes, I heard, also, that the James Moon Construction Company is building a new wine to house an indoor miniature golf course, that Ronnie Tetreault will be the official White House greeter, that Loran Saulnier will head the corps of White House guards, that Kevin Campbell will take over as private chauffeur to the First Lady who will be dressed in the latest Marcia Michon designs. Ipswich folk will be glad to know that there is a new Cabinet position - Sec- retary of the President ' s Golf Cart, headed by Charles Price whose Under- secretary, and chief mechanic, is Brian Pelletier. In my work as Roving Reporter I met three more I.H.S. grads who are now connected with the government: Bob Bodwell, Head of the Armed Forces, Lenny Parker and Bob Provost. Lenny and Bob Provost had been decorated, for heroic action, with the Gold Medal for Endurance. It seems they made history by serving the longest K.P. duty on record. Good for them! Did you know that I have hired Donna Burnham to be my private secretary? Her experience in the HighSchool office certainly came in handy. I under- stand that Ann Miller ' s experience as Class Treasurer was a factor in her being chosen for the Treasury Department. Your reference to the school reminds me of the many years I ' ve been away from Ipswich. Have many of our class prospered at home?” I ' m glad you asked. Bill. I visited in Ipswich a few weeks ago and was able to talk to many including Phil von Suck, who is Librarian now and putting to good use his psychology degree in handling the youth of Ipswich . . .I ' m quite sure we weren ' t so obstreperous when we were young.” I must agree with you. When I see the actions of the younger generation to- day I shudder for the future of our country. You remember Alvery Marriott ' s interest in the outdoors: he is a famous trapper now, and has published his first book called Animals That Got Away . Jim Carter and his colleagues, Donaher and Tarr, have been very successful in the undertaking business after developing a new embalming fluid called ' In by Five, Out by Nine. ' His time schedule gives him plenty of time to gab with Arline Boudreau, Manager of Woolworth ' s, and Edna Napier, Supervisor in charge of the Button counter. CLASS PROPHECY BILL: DONNA: BILL: DONNA: BILL: DONNA: BILL: DONNA: BILL: DONNA: BILL: DONNA: BILL: I suppose they have their fingers on the pulse of Ipswich industry. Did more of our classmates settle in Ipswich? Well, Susan de Paola, Arlene Richard, and Jackie Bridge said those fatal words ' I do ' and, because their twenty-eight children practically make up a a class, Ipswich has finally built a new school! I knew our class would come through for the students. What other earth- shaking events have transpired in the home town? It was inevitable that George Nikas would take over the Depot Spa and Pool Room, but he has installed blue carpeting, wall to wall, pale yellow pool tables, chairs upholstered in coral damask, and a sumptuous children ' s room supervised by Kerry Pearson. John Player, who gained most of his skill there, has become the World Champion Pool Player and, when not on tour, gives lessons for the Recreation Department. Yes, pool and billiards have caught up to bowling in social status.” Robert van Twuyver is another business man at home ... he owns Dad ' s Delightful Do-Nut Shop and because of the expert advice of his cook, Margaret Barclay, and manager, Sharon Holda, his fame is widespread. Your mention of fame reminded me of Tom Scahill. I met him at the Gover- nor ' s Convention in Florida and was pleased to know that Massachusetts was so well represented by Tom. In addition, he told me that he had been able to help Paul Clancy get a good job as head of a highway division which regulates all speed laws of the state, and Joey Barowy get a license for his LazyU Night Club. The latter took a bit of political finagling as Joey has so many branch clubs that Ed Girard ' s trucking company is kept busy night and day transporting roulette wheels. Yes, their work takes them away from Ipswich often. John Dambra has a state job, too. . . Head of the Waiting List at the State tjnemployment Office. Nancy Poor is his secretary. They were able to find an opening in the Congo for Rev. David Cole and his two assistants, Helen Achramowicz andHaroldine Wright who do a good job teaching gym team techniques. Oh, yes, I remember hearing about that when Joan Sullivan requested her visa. She was graduated from Harvard with honors and is serving in Bombay. I understand that she is a very popular teacher because of the way she handles the natives. We could expect that from our Class Boyologist. The class produced other teachers. Elaine Bokr on, who hadsuch a way with words, hasaprivate Speech Salon for Shy Siblings. Her assistant is Betty Bobola, and George Karras handles the publicity for her. Fred Cowles has taken over Arthur Murray ' s clientele. His Mambo, Samba, Rumba Dance Studios in Chile and Alaska are managed by Norma MacLeod and Diane Jones. We had a lot of good dancers in our class, didn ' t we? The latest to gain world-wide fame is Brian Grant. Since he won the Highland Fling Award he has been living in Scotland. Occasionally he meets another ex-patriate, Julie Ryan, who is Eire ' s Ambassador to Scotland. Then they ' ll be soon seeing Tom Flynn. Tom has decided that Americans don ' t understand philanthropists - especially those who give away a million dollars a year - and will live in Eire where taxes are low anyway. They ought to plan a reunion with Mae-Ellen Hayes and Christine Sotiro- poulos (with the U. S. Olympic Basketball Team), Bernadette Saroka and Marilyn Woods (Manager and Trainer of the Team), and Pauline Poirier who is making her semi-annual visit to her couturier in Paris.” CLASS PROPHECY DONNA: BILL: DONNA: BILL: DONNA: BILL: DONNA: BILL: DONNA: BILL: DONNA: I think Phil Kopec is somewhere in Europe, too, and will be our star entry for the Decathlon at the Olympic Games, while Don Bayley is a favorite for the Grand Prize Paris-Rome race. I read Karen Smyth ' s column ' Tell Us the Truth ' and am surprised how easy it is to keep my finger on the travels of our international playboy, Richie Whynock, and his counterpart, Carole Fitz. Oh, then you must have read the gossip about Rocky Forrest and Janetta. Of course, Karen is probably the only columnist who knows that the great screen star Rocky went to school with Janetta, or Janet Trask as we knew her. Paul Soffron suggested the single name Janetta so he could publicize the ' new discovery ' in the promotion of his picture ' Hercules Rises Again ' . It is odd that so many of the class finally collaborated in such varied fields. The newest duo is John Adams and Barb Gauthier. He tastes for American Tobacco Company and she tests his reactions. I know that Barb was inter- ested in becoming a nurse, but I wonder how John ever got into that field! Now that you mention the duet idea, I can think of a few still in Ipswich. John Boylan and Caralee Colburn have formed a chain of Good-Will Drug Stores; Susan Davis is Chief Mathematician at the Kreismanis Weather Bureau where both Susie and John are engaged in trying to determine the number of snow- flakes that have fallen since 1961; Leon Sheppard is a Special Officer at Barbara Brockelbank ' s Finishing School for Blonde Bombshells; Ed Stevens, Mu. M., is choir director in the Rev. Garrett Cutler ' s parish; and Robert Greenleaf plays a terrific ' straight -man ' in Lynda Ewing ' s comedy act. I ' m glad some of the class is sticking together whether at home or abroad. Their high school team-work has paid off for Paul Frydrych and Art Solo- monides, both stars with the Boston Celtics, and John Kelly who coaches the team. This has been quite an interview. Bill. I haven ' t elicited much information about the in-coming administration, but I certainly enjoyed reminiscing with you. We ' ve covered so many members of the class it is difficult to be sure we have remembered all. Well, we have a few other classmates who are playing an important role in this Inauguration. Frances Ball will lead the ceremony with the Salute to the Flag; Arlene Smith will sing the National Anthem; President Howard will read the inaugural address written for him by Becky Baker; Chief Justice Robert Chambers will administer the oath of office; dinner arrangements will be in the capable hands of Food Expert Joanne Mansfield; and dance arrangements will be taken care of by Judy Comeau. What talent we have among our class! Of course the top band in the land, Ralph Barnstead ' s Custom Thirteen, will provide appropriate music. I ' m glad to know that Jane Stone and Gail Clement will furnish the hot and cool vocals. We shouldn ' t forget those important people behind-the-scene, the cooks. Cynthia Price commands practically an army of food specialists and the ' piece de resistance ' will be the creation of Betty Clogston and Rosemary Clements - a six hundred pound, ten- layer cake artistically decorated by these wizards with the frosting tube. Gosh, Bill, it ' s almost time for the ceremony to begin. Although I didn ' t get much political information for my paper. I ' m sure Paul will forget his ed- itorial work when he reads my news about the Class of 1961. 46 GIFTS TO THE BOYS KAREN SMYTH MAE-ELLEN HAYES On one bright and sunny day we had planned to make our way To the Magic Gardens -- for beauty is there among the trees in the fresh, cool air. As we walked along the bank of the stream we espied a canoe -- its paddles agleam; It moved in to shore with hardly a sound, and in it the gifts for our boys we found. J.

Goes this gift we know he ' ll adore, A liquid detergent for washing the floor. W. CLAPP Here ' s to Bill, our most handsome boy. Of his beauty he must take care; This handy cake of Ivory soap Will preserve his skin so fair. 47 GIFTS TO THE BOYS D. COLE A minister David hopes to be, We ' d like to help as you will see, For we give him a book to help tea ch The many lessons he will preach. F. COWLES To Fred, who really loves to dance. We give this doll, on the chance That should he lack a real live girl. He can give the doll a whirl. J. DAMBRA To Johnny-on-the-spot We give Hiis old dilapidated pot; If you can ' t be a perfect cook. At least pretend to eat the gook. T. FLYNN Tom, who ' s famous for his blushes. Would like to hide those blood rushes; This bag of flour may stem the tide If it is often and skillfully applied. P. FRYDRYCH Paul, who ' s used to a card of A ' s, Excels us all --in many ways: These F ' s we give in fun, you know. How else could his marks be low? B. GRANT Brian is one of our very late sleepers And finds it hard to open his peepers: For such a perennial sleepy head We have, of course, --a little bed. P. HOWARD Partying Phil our pleasure enhances. His clever gyrations win many glances. For this dancer as smooth as can be A platter of music fits him to a T . M. COMEAU Mark is our class lover, so A gift of sturdy twine Will keep him close to Cynnie, Two happy ones combine. G. CUTLER G. C. ' s acting was such a sensation Hollywood should be his destination; A one-way ticket will get him there. An Oscar, we hope, will be his share. P. DONAHER To Pete we give this little sack To save his coins for a Cadillac; If he gets one another way. He can use the coins for a rainy day. R. FORREST Since Rocky is a ladies ' man. Here is a doll, an ardent fan. To carry with you against the time The real ones don ' t fall for your line. E. GIRARD To Ed, who wrestles for I.H.S., And, in that, always does his best. We give this trophy, nice tho ' small. To keep him mindful of us all. R. GREENLEAF For Bob, who we know loves to cook. And does it well without a book. We give this deed to a restaurant. To prepare the meals customers want. W. HUGHES Bill ' s undecided just what to do About a career for his life through; Whether in medicine, law, or business. This ladder will aid his climb to success. G. KARRAS George plays in the high school band. At games and concerts about the land; This gift of a foreign car Will carry him both near and far. J. KELLY For John, a big boy all around. Good-natured, too, we ' ve always found. This Tubby” comic seem ed just right. To recall his size, wit, and might. P.
