I u- :_ : t - r ’ SsSj ; ■VU , ' SUPERINTENDENT EDMUND F. TIERNEY My Dear Graduates: Commencement is the closing of that period of your lives in which you are building for the future. It is also the beginning of that period in which you will put into practice the things you have been learning these last twelve years. Each day will bring its own be¬ ginning and ending, its own respon¬ sibilities and accomplishments. You have had the help of many in your march from kindergarten to com¬ mencement. Now you must stand ready to help others. Onward and Upward - daily strive in this direction from this day forward. EDMUND F. TIERNEY ASST SUPERINTENDENT JOHN E. COMER Mr. Comer left the classroom for the newly created role of Assistant Superintendent. He had served us invaluably as a teacher of mathematics since 1949. His keen intelligence, sage counsel, and profound wit seemed almost a part of the building. We know that he will continue to serve us well administratively. Our sincere best wishes are extended to him. 2 DEDICATION The Class of 1966 proudly dedicates this edition of the Maroon to Mr. Edward F. Gallagher for the contributions he has made to the development of scholarship, character, and sports¬ manship in the students of Leicester High School. It is seldom that we find a teacher who can guide youth so admirably both in the classroom and on the playing field. This tribute to Mr. Gallagher is more especially appropriate since he will be leaving us for Wachusett Re¬ gional High in September. He departs with the satisfaction that the influence he has exerted on Leicester High youth in the last five years is limitless. By way of reciprocation, our hope is that success will crown his every en¬ deavor. PRINCIPAL EDWARD L. SKELLEY This is the 27th year of dedicated service that Mr. Skelley has rendered to the Leicester School System, two decades of which have been in the capacity of high school principal. His teacher-pupil relationship would be difficult to match anywhere. His extraordinary command of the English lan¬ guage has forcefully been our reward e.g. the splendid recommendations that he sends along for us to the many various firms and colleges throughout the country have been a great asset; also, during these formative four years of high school, his infrequent tongue-lashings have always seemed to include the correct adjectival advice. We are sincerely appreciative for all that he has done for us. ADMINISTRATION — FAOJUV MISS PATRICIA LIPINSKI Clerk MR. EDWARD BOULE Asst. Principal MISS CHRISTINE McPARTLAND Art DR.

It afforded its faculty advisor every possible cooperation throughout the year. And this had to be classified a difficult” year since the sale of candy was voided, thus adding a serious financial problem with which to contend.

MOST POPULAR, FRRSW UEN Cliff Smith Debbie Fotiades This extracurricular activity has been nothing less than sensational in its meteoric three-year rise to fame. Answerable for this is its ad¬ visor, Mrs. Jean Emerson. She has molded these students into a solid first-class forensic unit. True testi¬ mony to this are the many trophies which the squad has re¬ ceived. Significantly, these boys and girls are more than holding their own with schools which have a long-standing tradition of being powerhouses in this art. That’s only more reason why we should acknowledge the skillful work of Mrs. Emerson and her charges. Mrs. Emerson is shown with the squad’s officers: seated, Bernie McNamara and Pete Johnson; rear, Wini Potter, Mike Green, Gerry McQuoid, and Barbara Bosse.

ARROW Our school newspaper has established itself as an A-l production due principally to the tireless efforts of Miss Jacqueline Langlois, advisor. She has recruited a de¬ termined staff of workers who are more than willing to provide the after-school time that is necessary to complete an as¬ signment of this scope and magnitude. Along with deriving the satisfaction that comes when a copy of their newspap¬ er is finished, these students are also learning journalistic ideas which can be an important aid in college and other post¬ school pursuits. Also, several of them may venture into the field of journalism itself. It’s not a dull profession, rather a most interesting one. Once again, a well-deserved tribute to Miss Langlois.

Ot greatest significance for the 1966 season was that we closed the campaign in a blaze of glory. After two opening game reversals, our Wolverines pinned a setback on a potent Medfield eleven. That served as a stimulus. Although we succumbed to Millis in our next game, the balance of the season found us on the unbeaten trail. Powerful Grafton was held to a tie, Dover-Sherborne was next victimized, and then came the never-to-be-forgotten finale with Millbury when we stormed back with three second-half TD’s to blot out a 16-0 deficit and win, 24-16. Cheerleaders whoop it up in Millis game Pass-blocking protection at its best OSMDfD SHOTS DENNIS COONEY Mr. Gallagher has reason to be very proud of his 1965 charges. These boys just were not ready to play the role of fall guys” after suffering two losses at the start of the season. Former heavyweight boxing champion Joe Louis once came out with this sage comment: A true champion is never proved until he has been defeated.” How that applies to our ’65 gridders! Of course, we’ll miss our six sen¬ ior starters a year hence, but there are enough experienced returnees to assure us another successful season.

They came through with flying colors during the past season. The passing combination of Largesse- to- Pickett should rank with the best in the area, while Vancelette and Ring can be expected to be a one-two running punch. GARY RING TOM MINCKLER STEVE CLEARY BOtf PEROpEAU J.V. FOOreAU- The first J.V. football team ever at Leicester compiled a respectable 3-3 record. With keen interest and hard work the 25 members of the squad were able to acquire the basic fundamentals and team attitude necessary for playing football on a varsity level. Fullback Chris Gates was the team’s leading scorer while quarterback Mike Moynagh superbly directed the attack. Bob Lauder, Jim Nicas, Joe Kennedy, and Walt Kovaleski spearheaded the line play while Dennis Londergan was a bear in the secondary. The season culminated with an inspiring 6-0 win over Millbury giving an encouraging indication of some future football stars at L.H.S. Kudos to Coach Ed Hippert for a remarkable effort.

He returned for one last season. It was not a successful one in terms of victories, but everyone knew that th is would be a rebuilding year. Optimis¬ tically for next year, the team closed fast and wound up posting a total of seven victories. Freshman Cliff Smith gave every indication of blossoming into a 17-karat performer; Dan Pickett does everything but unscrew the backboards in his rebounding endeavors - he’ll perhaps be hounded by college coaches during the course of next season; Gary Ring and Ron Connors should make our ’66-’67 basketeers a Fluid Five. Also making the outlook promising is a corps of topflight players from the jayvee ranks. We wish Mr. Rowden continued success with his fabulous Leicester Junior College Minutemen.

BASKETB ALL The Boston Celtics can have Red Auerbach - we’ll take Miss Joan Mulvihill any day. Her stratagem this past season rewarded us with a sparkling 11-1 South¬ ern Worcester County League record and, obviously, the conference championship. We really took our opponents over the coals. Most of the games were routs. We couldn’t keep the momentum going, though, in the post-season Sutton Invitational Tourney. After shading Putnam Catholic, 23-22, there came that heartbreaking last-second loss to Northbridge, 24-23. But, overall, the season was a real success story with plenty of long-to-be-remembered thrills.

Standing , Charlene McCue, Shirley Tobin, Tommy Lessard, John Miller, Ann Hyytiainen, Gigi Riedl, Bruce MacDonald, and Director John Sullivan. The title of our three-act play was most appropri¬ ate, especially since townspeople are still raving about the performance of our fledgling thespians. This year we had a new, but experienced director. Mr. John Sullivan is mainly responsible for the acclaim we have received. He’s so polished in play directing that it’s inconceivable to us why he isn’t on Broadway or asso¬ ciated with the Hallmark Hall of Fame series. Leicest¬ er High seniors of the future should thank their lucky stars if Mr. Sullivan is still around to direct them on stage. You can’t make a diamond out of a hunk of coal, but somehow he can make us rank amateurs feel professional.

There was the usual merriment tempere d, though, by the awareness that Graduation was but two days hence and then would follow the severance of so many close friendships formed during our high school years. Our vivacious ad¬ visor, Mrs. Jean Emerson, is to be congratulated for leading us onward and upward during the past year. May we ever be appreciative. Our cups runneth over One last dance No worries here Student demonstrators A picture is forever, so here we have a panoramic view of many of the lovely couples truly representative of the outstanding Class of 1966. Certainly, June 6. 1966, was a D-Day socially in our lives. Early arrivals ✓ _ «- ' v r Pamela Minckler OASS HISTORY 1966 Now that our four years at Leicester High are over, we look back to the wonderful experiences we have had. The memories will remain with us forever as a happy reminder of our high school days. It began in September, 1962, when we entered Leicester High for the first time as freshmen. We were excited and a little nervous, as we wondered what it would be like in a new school. We soon became accustomed to it, however, and with Mr. Lucier as our class advisor, we elected the following officers - Rico Argentati, preisdent; Mary Reed, vice-president; Nancy Drohan, secretary; and Paul Fitzgibbons, treasurer. Our class was well represented in many activities that year. Linda Munson and Georgene Riedl were members of the cheering squad, which won third place in the Prouty Tournament. Seventeen of the freshman boys and eight of the girls played on varsity teams. The time passed quickly, and soon our first year was over. We returned in September 1963; this time much more confident. Our sophomore class officers were - Paul Fitzgibbons, president; Kathy Connery, vice president; Betty Kozlowski, secretary; and Dennis Cooney, treasurer. The cheerleaders, who took another third place trophy home from Proutv, helped cheer the basketball team on to victory as the champions of the Western Worcester Coun¬ ty League. The highlights of this year were the ordering of our class rings and our sophomore class picnic to Whalom Park. With the help of Mrs. Bosse, the picnic was a great success and a wonderful way to end the year. We began our Junior year by electing our class officers — Richard Anderson, President; John Miller, Vice Presi¬ dent; Linda Munson, secretary; and Mary Reed, treasurer. In October our class rings finally arrived, and we proudly showed them off to anyone who would look. Our basket¬ ball team again won the championship; this time in the Southern Worcester County League. The track team was also victorious, as they won their first trophy in the history of the school. As spring began, we started plans for the Junior Prom. We chose Roman Holiday” as our theme and decided on May 14th as the important date. It was an enjoyable night for us all, as Mr. Rochette led us in a confused, but happy, grand march. Gail McCue was chosen Queen of the Prom. Both Mr. Rochette and our prom chairman, Ann Hyytianen, deserve a big thanks for all the work they did. Our final year at Leicester High began in September, 1965. This year, Mrs. Emerson took over the job of senior class advisor. With her help we elected — Robert Bloodgood, president; John Miller, vice president; Jackie Henderson, secretary; and Kathy Connery, treasurer. Georgene Riedl, as D.A.R. representative, and Bernard McNamara, as student government representative, each made trips to Boston. We soon began to prepare for the Senior Class Play, a comedy entitled The Whole Town’s Talking.” Mr. Sullivan was the director, and through his efforts the play was a huge success. In February we held a Sweetheart’s Ball in the school cafeteria to earn money for our class trip. The trip was scheduled for April 18th and 19th, and we looked forward eagerly to that date. On the morning of April 18th, 73 seniors and 4 chaperones set out for Homowack Lodge in New York. We enjoyed two fun- filled days, before returning to Leicester on Tuesday night. Our chaperones - Mr. Skelley, Mrs. Emerson, Mr. Sullivan, and Miss Mulvihill - were wonderful and had almost as much fun as we did. With the help of our ad¬ visor, Mrs. Emerson, we are preparing for the final events of our senior year - the Dinner Dance and Graduation. We extend our best wishes and sincerest thanks to all who have helped us through these four memorable years. 88 I I I Sandra Quy CLAQ FROPHE CX 19 £ 6 Right away sir,” I said to my boss, Bernic McNamara, the editor of the controversial Scandal Sheet of New York, anxious to leave on my first assignment. As a reporter for the aforesaid newspaper, I was assigned to Providence to report on the crime rate, and I sped to the scene of the crime in a taxi, driven by Sheila Carey. Unfortunately, prices hadn’t changed since I was a teenager, and I was charged $5 to go two blocks to Gladdings. I watched as the police brought the culprit, Jackie Henderson out, a small¬ time thief gone big time, and the most wanted woman in the United States. Following them to the New Women’s Penitentiary, I had a chance to speak to the matron, Charlene, McCue, who informed me that the famous disguise artist, Sue O’Donnell, had fled to Africa with a Peace Corps worker. She also told me that they were hav¬ ing a lot of trouble with beach bum Gwynn Schneider for inciting riots every summer, as she was anti-everything. She invited me to sit in on the court sessions the next day, and I was able to see many big-time crooks as well as the usual delinquents. I was very surprised to see, in one case involving a young boy, JoAnn Sheehan acting as social worker and truant officer. A divorce case came up also, and I found that the quiet Helen Green was the defendant with the prosecuting attorney, Ringo Aroian, representing Billy Sarty. He claimed that Helen was just too cruel. Also in court, charged with breaking the sound barrier in his blue ’53 Ford, was Michael Flynn. Under the wig was Paula Irene Chapowski who, needless to say, found them all guil¬ ty On the road, driving to my next assignment in New York, I heard dreadful news from the radio announcer, Janet Grieco. The famous pianist and explorer, Ann Hyytianen, was lost in the high country. While in upper state New York, I attended a conference in a hotel run by Brian Doyle. He told me that I had just missed the International Designers Conference in which Donna Tinnerholm had modeled Sharon Bridgford’s high fashions, the latest in the Salvation Army. Her most popu¬ lar creation was called the spidlenik. Gail Rowden’s Stork Shop was represented by the socialite and heiress to pearl fortune, Nancy Drohan. Before Brian could fill me in on the rest of the details, he was called over the intercom by his secretary Gail McCue. Excuse me, I think there’s more trouble in room 207,” he said. That night I went to the Carmencita a GO-GO, owned by Ralph Remi and M.C.’d by Ronnie Granville. Taking in a few acts, I saw Billy Dandro as the witty comedian, who kept us laughing by flashing those eyes of his. The next act was a young girl, and behind the bubbles I hardly recognized Gigi Riedl. The music was provided by the FolSams, two of the mem¬ bers being Fred Foley and Sam Sespaniak. Mr. McNamara, a real slave driver, then decided he didn’t want me around any longer, so he gave me the im¬ portant job of reporting on the controversy of the sign being put in front of the general store in Hicksville, Arizona. As I got off the stage, driven by Senator David Whitney, trying to earn some spending money, and Linda Goodrow riding as shot gun, I stepped into a gun battle between Richie Gagen and the notorious Daisy Daoust. Jumping up and down in the middle of them was the Dude, Neil Latour, yelling, Aw, come on fellers!” Coolly ignoring them, I approached the general store, run by Paul Fortune. The trouble was that Deb Kachadoorian, the fa- 89 mous Armenian mouth surgeon, had put up a sign, If you want a mouth patch, come to Katch.” Fortunately, I was able to talk her into putting the sign in a more suitable location, in front of Denny Cooney’s ding dong school. Walking down the street, I saw George Steeves in front of the cigar shop, replacing the Indian. Proud of his town, he told me that they boasted the biggest cattle ranch in Arizona, owned by Karen Whitaker. I was relieved to be on my next assignment, which took me to Las Vegas. I was told to investigate the scandal at the casino run by Ricardo Anderson. As I walked around, I noticed Gerry Chicoine at the roulette and Ann Ermanski acting as overseer, and, as I found out later, the instigator of the crooked dealings of the club. All of a sudden, a troup of police entered, headed by Chuckie Carlos. It’s a raid, it’s a raid,” I heard Nancy Bliss yell, the first one out of the exit. As I ran to hide under the table, I discovered Joan Grout, the waitress next to me. I was able to extricate my¬ self from the situation as I was completely innocent, and I found out that Binky Barney had tipped off the police. I then decided it was time for a vacation, and, as I had always wanted to see Paris, I took the boat via Boston, Be¬ fore catching the boat, I was able to meet many officials, among them the Governor of Mass., John Anderson, and the President of the U.S., Robert Bloodgood. The Presi¬ dent was quite upset because his scientific aide Pam Minkler, had defected and was trading secrets to the Rus¬ sians for her right to stay there with the famous ballet dancer, Rico Argentati. As I stepped off the boat in Paris, the customs official and interpreter in Paris, Thomas Creswell, greeted me. Ironically, I remembered him in French class. My guide, Dennis Anderson, took me first to the Louvre, where they were displaying John O’Brien’s paintings alongside his wife’s Vicky Chicoine. My next stop was the Eiffel tower, where I met the janitor, John Miller. He told me that he had kept in touch with Kathy Connery, the famous host¬ ess, and would be able to finagle an invitation to her party that night. In ofder to look ravishing that night, I went to the best salon in Paris, Nancy Dufresne’s. I was amazed to learn that the hairpieces being sold were from the famous hair-grower and cultivator, Aurise LaChance. Also having her hair done was Kathy’s secretary-companion, Suzanne Miller. I finally made it to the party and was ushered in by the well-mannered butler, Raeburn Ring. The hostess had incorporated the services of that famous gourmet and ca¬ terer, Shirley Tobin. All of a sudden, at approximately 10 minutes and 25 seconds after 10, the lights went out and we heard a bloodcurdling scream, coming from upstairs. Taking over the situation, I instructed Janet Caika, the head maid, to telephone the police, as I knew there was something sinister going on. I ran upstairs and found Albie Martin, the playboy, shot and Elaine Beauregard, the manicurist, hysterical by his side. He’s dead, he’s dead,” she said, in the head, he’s dead.” Very observant, I noted. Just then the mortician, Jim Ryan, and the detective, George Gleick arrived. From the beginning, I knew the butler did it, but I was wrong, strangely enough. It seems Paul Fitzgibbons, the drag strip driver, was the culprit, be¬ cause Albie had beaten him in a race earlier in the day. The party, and my vacation over, I was assigned to re¬ port the International Women’s Wrestling- bout, being held in Puerto Rico. I got in touch with Debbie Robidoux, who had married a rich band player, and we attended the matches together, along with the ambassador, Peter John¬ son. Susan LaBaire, famous for her bear hug, was unable to fight because she had contacted the dread banana fever. I was able to see, however, the sportswoman Gigi McCluskey, against the inimitable Suzanne de la Gorgendiere. The Olympics were also being held there, and I saw Gerry McQuoid win the peanut rolling race, a new sport introduced by the dictator of Puerto Rico, Roger Blanchard. While there, I toured the streets, and noticed a crowd gathered. I looked up to see Danny Gardner swinging from window to window. Taking ad vantage of the crowd was Richard Gale, selling balloons, and Chris Sespaniak, selling flowers on the corner. My next assignment took me to Provincetown. Halfway there I was caught in a traffic jam and getting out to inves¬ tigate the cause, I saw Mary Jane Hadley sitting in the middle of the road in her car, crosswise, completely bewil¬ dered. Suddenly a car zoomed over our heads only to land in a pasture, the driver being none other than the stunt driver, Mary Reed with devil may-care Jimmy Gordon as passenger. Doing my good deed for the day, I took her to the hospital where the competent Christine Joudrey, the head nurse, took over. I saw Dottie Dudley sitting in the waiting room, staring off into space, and the nurses told me that she is what is called a permanent patient. Continuing on my trip, I stopped at a gas station run by Robert Canning, and he told me that there was to be a big whingding at the contractor Eddie Burtt’s house that night. I went to the party for a few minutes, and heard the famous trumpeter, Maureen Carlos, with Jimmy Argentati backing her up with his yodling. The next day I decided to tour the town, and saw Bruce Phipps at one of the souve¬ nir shops carving trinkets with Ginnie Pierce as his model. Mr. America, Dennis Erickson, was walking along the streets displaying the reasons why he had been chosen. Entering a coffee-house, the Yes-Yes Club, was the owner Donald Doe, who had changed his name to a more con¬ spicuous Irving Nut. Betty Kozlowski was the lead folk singer, and she told me that Tom Lessard, sitting listening to the jukebox, was waiting for a girl to come out of the bottle. Before I left, she told me that there was still another student whose talents she had incorporated in the coffee house. Betty Anderson was the official comfort room in¬ spector. From the sublime to the ridiculous, I was taken from P-town and told to report to a research company run by Linda Munson at the North Pole. I was told that Rich¬ ard Mercer, a research scientist, was making important tests to check the rate of absorption of certain liquids into human bodies. My duty was to find out why. On the way up there, I picked up Bruce MacDonald who was carrying a sign, Canada or Bust, and Kathy Goodwin. Bruce had just been elected leader of Hell’s Angels, and Kathy, leader of the Hell’s Angels Backseat drivers. On the way up, we passed Kathy Kristolaitis, the marathon runner, going to the North Pole as fast as her little legs could carry her. Be¬ fore Bruce got off, he told me that John Williams had gone to college again to obtain his doctorate in baseball with a minor in sandboxes. While at the North Pole I stayed at the Icy Freeze, a hotel run by Jo Ann Herholz and her 15 children with Lois Dorr as the marm in charge. After my interview at the research plant I decided to see if the people at the North Pole were as peculiar as everyone says they are. Well, every¬ one was right. Walking out over the ice to investigate a blob I saw in the distance, I found Judy Robidoux perched on an iceberg, writing one of her mysteries. She told me that she needed peace and quiet to write, and I agreed that this was a very quiet place until a few minutes later. All of a sudden I heard a siren, and out over the ice raced a fire truck, driven by David Gercken, in his bathing trunks. Which way to Los Angeles?” he asked. While Judy quietly gave him directions, I sat in bewilderment and watched David Robidoux on the back of the truck, whis¬ tling and busily filling the fire extinguishers with the snow, and washing his hands. Another siren was heard, and the North Pole Snowblower, Michael Doyle, informed David that the North Pole couldn’t afford to give its snow away. Finally they left, but peace and quiet prevailed for only a few minutes. Across the ice and into the ocean ran about 50 penguins. Chasing after them ran Carl Wicklund, the penguin keeper, who ran into the ocean. Chasing after him ran Gay Cranston, Carl Wicklund’s associate, who also ran into the water, without saying a word. Man, did we dig them. Returning home after my many experiences, I decided to retire because I just couldn’t take any more. I had fulfilled one of my greatest ambitions: I had seen and heard of every member of the class of 1966. For most of my classmates, their classes as well as the extracurricular activities had formed a part of their lives, and had spurred them on to achieve the goals which so much resembled their personalities. 91 Bill Dandro and Gigi Riedl CWSS U fLL 1966 We, the graduating class of 1966, having a lawful amount of intelligence, being of supposedly sound mind and body, do hereby publish and declare the following to be our last Will and Testament.
