Our 1968 yearbook cb-editors Were, from left: Carol Anderson Mike Green Patti Leno, Tom Minckler, and Mary Giuffrida • SUPERINTENDENT Mr. Edmund F. Tierney My Dear Graduates: June 5, 1967 Commencement - a beginning, and an end A beginning to another phase of life for which school years have been a preparation; an end insofar as you have completed the prescribed study entitling you to a diploma Life is marked with transitions: infancy to childhood, childhood to adolescence, adolescence to adulthood, adulthood to maturity, maturity to old age. These stages move quietly and are not noticed until they become altogether too evident. But others are accompanied by a degree of fanfare and public recognition Perhaps the most notable of them is your high school graduation. It ' s a distinct privilege for you this evening to say farewell to classmates and faculty who have worked with you and for you during these years. However, this happy occasion must not be regarded as an end. Consider it a plateau. You have struggled to get to this point, but the peak or suram.it is still beyond. Always look higher. Set yourself lofty objectives and then strive to attain them. You, as an individual, and, indeed, America itself, will be the benefactors. My very best wishes. ASST. SUPERINTENDENT Mr. Comer is currently completing 20 years in the Leicester School System, 18 of which were spent in the high school as an outstanding mathematics teacher. Our com¬ munity can take extreme pride in having this dedicated teacher now serving us so well and conscientiously in an administrative capacity. The esteem we hold for him can ' t be mea¬ sured by words. Let it suffice to say succinctly: Leicester is a better town for his having come our way. Mr. John E. Comer 2 He has firmly established for himself the reputation of being an extraordinary English teacher, one who has that rare facility of being able to communicate with students in an easy, informal manner. But that ' s only part of the story. As senior class advisor and play director, he has been unrelenting in his efforts to uplift and give solid stature to our 104-pupil senior class. For his contributions—which DEDICATION constitute, as it were, a priceless legacy—we, the Class of 1968, by acclamation, dedicate this yearbook to Mr. John Sullivan. 3 PRINCIPAL One would generally assume that intimacy could not possibly exist between administration and a whopping 541-pupil student body. Maybe elsewhere, but nothing could be further from the truth here at Leicester High. Principal Edward L. Skelley has always maintained that sound academic growth best prospers in a warm, cheerful atmosphere. That ' s why he has a ready and buoyant hi for everyone. This greeting has been extended to all students under his wing since 1940. True, only a two-letter salutation, but nearly two thousand LHS graduates will tell you it has earned for him a world of respect and admiration. ADMINISTRATION MR. EDWARD L. SKELLEY ASST.

FOOTBALL 1967 Coach Ed Hippert ' s inaugural year as head football coach was nothing short of sensational. We ' d like to compare him with baseball ' s Dick Wil¬ liams, manager of the Boston Red Sox. Both are demanding taskmasters who ' ll never be satisfied with finishing second. Oh, sure, the Sox finished first and the Leicesterites ended up with a 4-4 record. But let ' s analyze that log. The season be¬ fore our Wolverines were Central Mass, door¬ mats, finishing with only one victory. No one an¬ ticipated a break-even ' 67 campaign. Yet it hap¬ pened. Coaches Hippert and Chasse, along with a spirited 29-player squad, have written a stirring chapter in Leicester High sports ' history. And let ' s not overlook that unforgettable moment in the last game of the year: Reserve quarterback Mike Green coming off the bench, replacing the in¬ jured Joe Rollins, and directing a Wolverines ' second-half comeback that culminated in an 8-6 victory over favored St. Mary ' s High of Milford. Co-Captains Gary Ring and Bob Lauder have a confab with Coaches Ed Hippert and Johnny Chasse.

Surely, 1967-68 must rank as the finest, sportswise, in LHS history. We agree that team effort is vitally necessary in such sparkling achievement, but that shouldn ' t deprive certain individuals of being singled out for particular acclaim. A consultation with the various coaches revealed that the players (pictured to the left) were the most outstanding in their field of endeavor. It ' s our hope that these athletes will exemplify humility for being accorded this honor, will never lose sight of the fact that it takes many spokes to make a wheel, and will always keep sports in their proper per¬ spective—a vital part of school life, but a distant second to at¬ taining academic excellence.

It may have been the Year of the Yaz in Bos¬ ton, but here in Leicester it was the Cry of the Corl. Seldom has a player dominated jayvee ac¬ tion as backfielder Brian Corley did this year in sparking Coach George Albro ' s charges to a 2- won, 4-lost record. Brian will be the first to admit that he had a supporting cast. For example, rov¬ ing linebacker Dan DeStratis; fearsome middle linebacker Dennis Ward; monster man Gary Sund- gren; inspirational offensive tackle Bruce Mag- nuson; and ferocious downfield blocker Elwood Burtt. Citing these players is doing no injustice to the others. They all formed a mosaic of near¬ perfection, one that Varsity Coach Ed Hippert will scrutinize most closely during the summer months. Films of games will be analyzed, strong points noted, weaknesses marked down for cor¬ rection, all of which we hope will contribute to a winning 1968 season for the varsity forces. A well-deserved tribute is accorded Coach Albro. Here is shown 355 pounds of defensive might: Gary Sundgren (left) and Elwood Burtt.

How that de¬ scribes the wondrous 1967-1968 basketball edition. Mast¬ erful and magnificent in motion like a Michelangelo stroke, yet with the pertinacity of a steamroller, our be¬ loved Wolverines were the Central Mass, trailblazers as they annexed the Southern Worcester County League title, then the Clark Tournament, on to the District III diadem, and finally the semifinals of the Class B state champion¬ ship before being derailed in the fleeting seconds by Westford Academy, 55-54. Perfection was a 12-player composite, the centerpiece of which was phenomenal shooting star Cliff Smith. Masterminding the entire pro¬ duction and orchestrating it to the nth degree of excellence was Coach Ed Hippert, New England ' s top schoolboy coach and may we dare say one of the very finest in the entire country. Congratulations and thanks, team, for the honor you have earned for our high school and community.

CHEERLEADERS The 1967-68 cheerleading edition was nothing short of astonishing. Talk about the Impossible Dream. These kids made a big hit recording of it. Not since 1952 had an LHS squad walked off with the David Prouty Tournament title. Our girls did it, translating eight months of practice into four and one- half minutes of perfection as they cavorted majes¬ tically through the most intricate of formations. They enjoyed a fine tuneup earlier in annexing second place honors in the widely acclaimed Frontier Regional Tourney in Deerfield. But there was a first also, Kathy McQuoid being selected as Miss Cheerleader from among all the squads represented. That ' s tall tribute to one of the sweetest kids we ' ve ever met. Congratulations, Kathy, Co-Captains Patti Leno and Sally Savage, the nine-member team, alternates Kathy O ' Neill and Carol Brown, and Coach Ruth Gleason.

The SWCL title went right down to the last game when we lost a squeaker to West Boylston. Rugged back- courtman Mickey Cooney and altitudinous rebounder Richie (All-Neck) O ' Brien co-piloted the team in many of its successful encounters.

The girls ' basketball team wrote a success story of its own, making the 1967-68 school year the most memorable one athletically in LHS history The SWCL campaign was a breeze, our glamor gals racking up a remarkable 13-1 record and, of course, walking off with the league title. It was then on to the lion ' s den which everyone knows to be the Sutton Tourney. We turned back a solid Wood- stock (Ct.) Academy team, 66-60, in the quarter-finals, but then ran head-on into the lion herself, namely, Marian High, and were devoured, £8-39. But let ' s throw that last game out as one of those off nights. Instead, remember the 14 games where we strutted confidently and convincingly to victory thereby establishing ourselves as the classiest girls ' team ever in the annals of Leicester High School. 73 An in-depth study of the 1968 season discloses a 12-5 record, a District III playoff berth, and second place in SWCL play. There are reasons for this success; namely, the players, coach, and managerial help. Front row, from left: Gary Ring, Larry McNamara, Mike Moynagh, John Sutkus, and George Laventure.

That ' s the sad case with this page—nine departing seniors are shown who, besides being an influence for good with the underclassmen, showed their heels many a time to the opposition. Upon learning of his appointment, Coach No rm Hamley prophesied a winning season three years hence. That would mean 1970. But from all indications this year, he may wind up with a windfall come next campaign. Typical of the coaches we have at LHS, Mr. Hamley was non¬ sparing when it came to drilling his troops. Suc¬ cess is inevitable for his type: knowledgable, inspirational, and dedicated. We ' ll be rooting for his squad to make the winner ' s circle a few more times next year.

Members of the starting lineup, and it was a powerful one indeed. 82 Captain Priscilla Clapham and Coach Joan Mulvihill SOFTBALL 1968 A thing of beauty is a joy forever, and that ' s just another way of describing the ' 68 softballers. Whenever they lose a game—and it ' s certain the day will come earlier when birds won ' t fly—the stock market plummets to the crash point. Winning SWCL titles is old hat to these kids. Fences haven ' t been built yet that these sluggers couldn ' t reach. And defensively—wow, they ' re like Houdini, pulling off the impossible in spearing harsh grounders and snagging Our battery delights the most distantly hit of fly balls. Masterminding this opera¬ tion in perfectionist style is Coach Joan Mulvihill. Kudos to these wonderful kids and their coach for adding that much more gloss to the unforgettable 1967-68 school sports year.

The theme was Somewhere My Love and its dazzling center- piece was our radiant queen Carol Anderson, who was surrounded by a charming court of four prin¬ cesses. There are many unforgettable moments in life, but none will pass this in our gay, young, social lives. If only time would have stood still so as we could have drunk forever from the cup of this most wonderful evening. But thank God for many sweet and precious memories. There were many that evening for the colorful Class of 1968. As we now approach graduation we wish to express our thanks to all who played a role in sculpturing this loveliest night of our lives.

Our three-act comedy, Brother Goose, was another artistic and financial ten-strike success pro¬ duced and directed by Mr. John Sullivan. The senior class treasury received slightly more than $900 from this single evening performance. It never would have been possible without the Tal¬ ent, devotion, and tireless effort shown by Mr. Sullivan. We accord him a tribute of the highest possible praise and appreciation. While in that mood we can ' t overlook the sacrifices-made by those seniors who comprised the cast, makeup, and stage crew. For seven weeks they shunted leisure time activities to one side and concentrated on making the play the thing wherein they would conquer the imagination of the townspeople. They did.

THREE-ACT COMEDY IN MEMORIAM Mr. Savage would have been the most thrilled of all to see his Arrow co-editors, D ennis Orsi (left) and David Dumais, in the joyous atmosphere surrounding Class Day, the Dinner-Dance, and Graduation. Mr. Savage ' s sudden passing in early June shocked and grieved the entire com¬ munity but especially so the faculty and student body. He was a most powerful in¬ fluence for good in his role as chairman of the math department and advisor to the Arrow. His keen wit and magnetic charm were contagious with everyone he met. His I legacy is priceless—a wonderful widow Irene and three lovely children. It goes without 1 saying that untold youngsters yet to be born will hear of Mr. Savage through this genera¬ tion of students and, by means of God ' s di- i vine plan, will be made beneficiaries of the knowledge, wit, and charm this outstanding man possessed. May he rest in peace. 94 SENIOR DINNER-DANCE First thoughts were that the Dinner-Dance, held at the Holden House June 3, would be tempered in spirit by the death of Mr. Savage. Then we heard those reassuring words from Mr. Skelley that Mr. Sav¬ age had long ago bought out this wonderful world of mirth. We were part of it, so therefore had to enjoy it. Happiness was Mr. Savage, happi¬ ness was ours June 3 at the Holden House. Two charming couples add to the lively atmosphere More joviality Presentation to Mrs. Bosse Pleasantry prevails Presentation to Mr. Sullivan Smiles unlimited Laughter personified CLASS WILL 1968 We, the graduating class of 1968, not having an awful lot of intelligence, and being of warped mind and decrepit body, do hereby publish and declare the following to be our Last Will and Testament.

Having signed, sealed, and published this document, we, the Class of 1968, declare this to be our Last Will and Testament of this third day of June in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-eight. Signed in the witness of: Fat Albert Tiny Tim Attest: Janice Swindell Michael Green 97 Jacque Entwistle CLASS PROPHECY Splat! And the paint oozed down the side of the canvas, another creation was finished. So ended another day in my New York studio. I thought I ' d go over next door and see my fellow artist Harry Kachadoorian and see what ' s new. A few moments later I was seated in his kitchen drinking coffee and reminiscing about the good old days in high school over ten years ago. Hey, Jac—, heard who ' s playing at Carnegie Hall next week? Harry said. Don Nordgren and his band—and I hear rumor has it Sally Savage is gonna sing with them—Oh, yeah—remember Gene Bailey and Robert Anderson? They were on a big game hunt in Africa and now they ' re lost—but don ' t worry about them being found—they ' ve em¬ ployed Mary Donahue and her infallible sense of direction to help track them down. Peggy Lamb has gone along as a nurse in case she ' s needed. I heard she ' s pretty happy about going with them. I saw Graig Jyringi and Charlie Steeves the other day, Harry told me. I guess they ' re on their way out to California to make the flower scene for a while. Even though I felt like talking more, I excused myself and hurried downtown to pay a parking ticket at the courthouse. The line was fantastic, stretching out nearly half a block. Oh well, I thought, I might as well forget it for today. On my way out, I paused near one of the cham¬ bers and heard much yelling and hollering. I looked in and saw Bob Aroian, now a practicing attorney presenting his case to the judge and jury. His case was one of a Mary Stratton in¬ volved in a name-changing conspiracy. Bob was arguing that being misnamed had given Pat or Mary—or whatever—a psychological mind block and must be changed immediately so as to pre¬ vent further damage to her ego. Bob had estab¬ lished quite a justifiable reputation for arguing with anybody, anywhere, anytime, and over most anything. I found Kathy Wade was writing a gossip column for the paper. This week she had an in- depth interview with Bill Stanikmas, Paul Grieco, David Sroka, and John Sutkus, all Secret Service men employed as bodyguards to Mark Rowden, mayor of Worcester County. I folded up my paper, hurried to the airport and on my way I saw Aleta Cutler and Norman Richard on top of a crane removing the Brooklyn Bridge while no one was looking, and Marianne Parslow boog ' alooing on down Broadway behind Glenn Wilson. I stopped to watch, but then real¬ ized I was late. I got to the airport just as my plane took off. Miss your flight, Jacque? I turned and found Pat Aja at my side. Glad to give you a ride if you need it. Pat explained how Michael and he had formed a charter service named Aja Aviation Flights. I hopped aboard the plane and I told him I was headed for the Astrodome to view the World Series. I asked about Mike and learned that he and his faithful companion, Patti Leno, were flying somewhere over New England. Patti had enjoyed flying but turned to skydiving because it was an easy way to escape the clutches of the pilot. As we flew further on, I chanced to look out my window and down below. I could see Bob Miller perched high upon a hill professing he was surrounded by an invasion of flying saucers. I looked around in sudden alarm but failed to see anything in the sky. Jay Swan began to help him down the hill, patting him on the back saying, It ' ll be all right, Flash; let ' s go home and have some coffee. We touched down at the airport and I soon found myself at the World Series at the Astro¬ dome. I noted Larry McNamara and Kenny Daige in the infield. I saw Mike Moynagh step up to bat, swing it around a few times and then take aim. The windup—the pitch—crack! There it goes—up- up—Mike streaked for first base—it looks like—it looks like—it ' s—caught by Pat Kozlowski, our ever helpful first baseman. Oh well, better luck next time, Mike! On my way out, I met up with a very big traffic jam of people. Making my way to the front of the line, I saw Mary Mosher and David Dumais holding a door open and saying in turn, You go first. No, after you. My pleasure. But I ' d 98 feel better going after you. Etc. After I squeezed through the door, I saw a motorcade go by con¬ sisting of Billy Searles, Al Hesselton, and Kenny LaForce on their motorcycles in front of a horse- drawn carriage with Diane Johnson as coach driver. Running in front of the carriage, clad in a toga, was Suzy Rhodenizer skipping and throw¬ ing flowers in the air. Perched on top in all her glory and magnificence was Janice Swindell, new¬ ly elected Orange Queen. Closely following was Billy Brooks with a broom sweeping up the whole mess. I stopped to talk with him and I found that Donna Soucie, Jane Greenhalge, and Rita Foley had formed a canned laughter company. Once in a while Janet Progin sat in while they went ou.t for a giggle. They worked for M.G.AA. movie studios, now run by enterprising Money Bags Jim Martin. I stopped at a music and art store run by Candy Horne to purchase some supplies and found she had just heard news of some former classmates. Leslie Fyffe was running a miniskirt chain in the West featuring Douglas Dumais- style—white shirts. A few had settled down to studying such things as culinary arts and comfortable living. Among these were Pamela Blake, Dorothy Chase, Linda Ekberg, Gloria Burtt, Beverly Paquette, Roberta Kravitz, Gail Rhodenizer, Dotty Perron and Winifred Early. Winnie was also doing some auto repairing on the side. Louise Curtis was modeling eye makeup for Maybelline. On my way outside, I heard the loud, ex¬ tremely raucous and unmistakable voice of—you guessed it—none other than Pattie McNeil, pres¬ ently a papergirl. She was screaming something to the effect of, Read all about it, Mary Giuffrida leads Italian revolt against men. I purchased the paper from Patti and learned Dennis Orsi was the editor. On the Sports page I saw it was an unbelievable three-way tie for first place in the Indianapolis 500 between Billy Doe, Malcolm LaTour, and Gary Dufries. At least they didn ' t have to worry about Jimmy Dryden. He came in last. Turning to the fashion page, I saw the pictures of the last night ' s display of current styles. Model¬ ing them were Linda Boris, Ingrid White, and Linda Montville. Betty Lamprey was the seam¬ stress while Darlene Russell was chief shoe-fitter. Carole Montville was helping fit the clothes. Wayne Provo was modeling the newest crea¬ tions in elevator shoes for Sheila Cormier ' s In¬ stant Height Company. Under citygrams I read Phil Largesse had been placed in the brig at Fort Devens soon after his induction. Why? Numerous pranks against the army incurred while still a civilian. On the puzzle page was a large picture of something captioned, Can you identify what ' s happening here? Hmm ... I thought as I looked at it. I see three people—Ah! Cilia Clap- ham, Gary Ring, and, hm, Joe Kennedy!—scram¬ bling towards a small table—but what ' s that under¬ neath?—Oh, It ' s Sue Hunt—and they ' re all playing under the table! I wondered if there was any news about my hometown. Hey, there was Donald Lennerton. He was elected fire chief; and aides Vinny McCue, Kenny Gleick, and Richard Canning held a mara¬ thon for 8:00 coffees at Bisco ' s. Our fighting forces overseas were guided by Lieut. Charlene Morrison of the Navy. I also learned about an I.B.M. revolution in progress. The machines were getting very uptight because they were being replaced by newer models such as the Carol Anderson Adder, the Judson Ed¬ wards Divider, the Chris Gates Figure-Outer, the Pam Earle Well-Hm-Yeah-l-guess-so-er, the Tom Minckler Organizer, and the Sue Bercume- Style Memory Bank. Oh, yes, there was one other—The John Woodcock Go-Getter. But the manufacturers weren ' t sure if they could release it yet because of a defect causing it to go wild around women. After leaving, I stopped in a bookstore and picked up a book by Alan Flint titled How Got to be President Using Only My Credentials. Also on the shelf were Tome Frazier ' s How to Set Speed Records in a Volkswagen; Tim Donahue ' s How to Pass VW ' s Going No Faster Than 20 M.P.H.; John Von Halpin ' s History of the German State of Lei¬ cester; Steve Robinson ' s How to Set Up a Hospital in Your Own Back Yard; Walter Kovaleski ' s Home Recipes for Linguisa; and Brenda Henderson ' s Barbering for Boys. I also found many of the books were poor sellers because of something known as the credibility gap. Since I was so close to the Mexican border, I figured I would see a bullfight before I made my way back up north. A few hours later I was seated in the bleach¬ ers awaiting the start. I looked down into the ring and saw fearless and courageous Bob Lauder, the matador entering the ring. Over in the corner I saw Mike Green, now employed as a stable boy, shoveling, I mean shoving the bull into the ring. I wished I could have stayed longer but I had to return to New York for another day ' s work. Reminiscing about the events of the day on my way back, I marveled at the fact that I had seen or heard of every one of my classmates of the Class of 1968—and what a great class it was! 99 Pamela Earle CLASS HISTORY Now the time has come that we must say good¬ bye to Leicester High School. We can look back on many memories of our four short years here. We entered Leicester High School in September, 1964. At first we were a little scared and rather con¬ fused due to the friendly suggestions of the upper¬ classmen. But we soon became accustomed to it, and that huge Leicester High School ceased to be quite so awesome. Mr. Lucier was our class advisor and, with his help, we elected the following class officers: Judson Edwards—President; Susan Bercume—Vice President; Larry McNamara—Treasurer; and Patti McNeil—Secre¬ tary. There were 19 members of the freshman class on varsity sports that year, 15 of them on the track team. It made us feel we were really becoming part of the school. After a much appreciated summer vacation, we returned much more confident in September as sopho¬ mores. Our class officers were: Alan Flint—President; Chris Gates—Vice President; Susan Bercume—Secretary; and Patti Leno—Treasurer. That winter, with Sally Savage and Patti Leno representing our class, the cheerleaders won second place in the David Prouty Tournament. In June our sophomore class picnic was held at Whalom Park. With the assistance of our class advisor, Mrs. Bosse, all who went had a wonder ful time. Every¬ one had plenty to eat—in fact, some people had a little too much. Right, Mac? In our junior year we commenced by electing as officers: Michael Green—President; Mary Giuffrida— Vice President; Mary Donahue—Secretary; and Carol Anderson—Treasurer. Near the end of September, our much-awaited ' class rings finally arrived. We were so excited that for the rest of the day all that could be heard was the sound of class rings spinning on the tabletops. In February, the cheerleaders, with four mem¬ bers of our class on the squad, debuted in the Deer¬ field Tournament and won first place. Again, they came in second at the Prouty Tournament. The Basketball team was superb, getting in the Clark Tournament and the District Ill ' s, but that West Boylston team always seemed to just edge us out. On April 28, after many hectic preparations, our Junior Prom was held at the Salem Cross Inn. Un¬ fortunately, our class advisor, Mr. Young, who had worked so diligently, caught the measles two days before the prom and couldn ' t attend. Carol Anderson was chosen as queen, and in her court were: Priscilla Clapham, Cindy Kingdon, Sharon Pickett, and Dotty 100 Kuzmicki. All confessed they had a marvelous evening. Mr. Hippert led the wildest snake dance that we had ever seen. But the real fun began later at Jacque Entwistle ' s house. Then, in September 1967, we found ourselves, unbelievably, seniors. What had seemed so distant to us three years ago had finally come. Our class officers this year were: Michael Green—President; Chris Gates— Vice President; Patti Leno—Secretary; and Judson Ed¬ wards—Treasurer. Patti Leno was selected as our D.A.R. Representa¬ tive and Susan Bercume served as our Student Govern¬ ment Representative. Patti Leno also received the Busi¬ ness Woman of the year award. In October, Mr. Sullivan, our very capable and very patient director, chose as a class play Brother Goose, a three-act comedy. Members of the cast in¬ cluded: Judson Edwards, Ingrid White, Michael Green, Mary Donahue, Mary Giuffrida, Sally Savage, Carol Anderson, Priscilla Clapham, Susan Bercume, Jacque Entwistle, and Tommy Minckler. After two months of hard work by the cast and crew. It was presented on December 1, and was a ten-strike success. Michael Green looked just stunning in a pair of diapers. This was the best year ever as far as sports were concerned. The football team improved immensely. Winning no less than four games. The girls ' basketball team brought honors by getting first place in the SWCL League. The cheerleaders came in second at the Deerfield Tournament. Then, at the David Prouty Tournamert, they cheered their way to first place, the first tir e since 1952. The boys ' basketball team, under Coach Ed F - pert, was dynamic. Now it was our turn to blast V t Boylston. As we downed them four times: twice a capture the Southern Worcester County League Cm i, next for the Clark Tournament title, and finally the District III championship. Winning the District Ill ' s gave us a shot at the State title in Boston Garden. We encountered Westford Academy there on March 22 only to suffer a heart¬ breaking defeat, 55-54. Our boys may have lost, but they couldn ' t have staged a better fight. This season turned out to be the longest, and by far the best in the history of Leicester High School. With such a spectacular record in sports so far, it naturally followed that the baseball team would also be spectacular. With an overall record of 11-4, they are only one game away from first place in SWCL league play with still two games remaining. They made the District III playoffs and won a resounding victory over Charlton, 6-0. In the semifinals they met an ambitious Leominster High team at the Worcester Tech field where they were handed a 2-1 loss. All in all this year was absolutely unconscious! As an article in the Worcester Telegram stated: Lei¬ cester is fast diminishing the supply of trophies in Worcester County. On February 17, we held our annual Sweet¬ hearts ' Ball in the cafeteria to raise money for a non¬ existent class trip. Thanks to our chairman, Peggy Lamb, it was a big financial success. We earned over $150.00. Several weeks ago 70 Seniors, with Mr. LaPlante and Mr. Tivnan chaperoning, visited Fort Devens to see a simulated Viet Cong Village. We crawled through tunnels and jumped in mud puddles. Everyone had a lot of fun—well, almost everyone. Fort Devens is still r ecovering from Phil Largesse. Under the guidance of Mrs. Bosse and Mr. Sullivan, we are now planning for our Senior Dinner Dance which is to be held June 3 at 8 -p.m. at the Holden House. Graduation comes off June 5 at 8:15 in the high school gymnasium. We, the 182nd graduating class of Leicester High School, wish to extend our heartfelt thanks and appre¬ ciation to all who have helped make our stay in Leicester High School a most memorable one. Michael Green CLASS PRESIDENT ' S ADDRESS This Class Day program, June 3, 1968, has taken on a much more significant meaning with the passing from our midst of Mr. Savage. Here was a man, though everyday for him was to be an agonizing ordeal with acute arthritis, who embodied every possible virtuous ideal. Surely, his death coming at the time that we are closing out our high school careers, was divinely decreed for our betterment. Modeling ourselves after this exemplar, we shall assure ourselves of being a distinct credit to our community, our nation, and our God. PRE-GRADUATION Fanciful daydreaming on our part back in those frightening September days of 1964 became stark realism Wednesday, June 5, 1968, when our Commencement Day exercises were held in the school gym¬ nasium. Four years—the best years of our life—proved to be a fleeting, but most re¬ warding experience. Lasting friendships were made—well, for four years anyway. Life has a thousand thorns for every rose, and we must expect to encounter undesir¬ able, and what may even seem to be cruel times in the future. Graduation, a joyous occasion, leads us to one of these un¬ wanted moments. It ' s the severing of many of these fond acquaintanceships as we ap¬ proach the crossroads where diversified careers we seek will take us down myriad avenues. Tonight ' s theme is perhaps best expressed in Cole Porter ' s poem, At The Crossroads, that he delivered to his grad¬ uating class at Worcester Academy in 1909: You to the left, and I to the right, For the ways of men mus t sever— And it well may be for a day and night, And it well may be forever. But whether we meet or whether we part For our ways are past our knowing, A pledge from the heart to its fellow heart On the ways we all are going! Here ' s luck! For we know not where we are going.
