Boule 2 “Like father, like sons.” Most of the student body has had the opportunity to meet and observe two of his sons, Dave and Bob, either through visits here at school or in the realm of basketball where both excel. All will have to agree that they are the gentleman-athlete exemplar. It couldn’t be otherwise for their father represents all that is good. And, thus, we too are beneficiaries of the sound counsel and constructive discipline he has rendered to us these formative four years of our precious young lives. To show our appreciation we, the Class of 1969, make the most logical, intelligent, and pleasant decision of our high school careers—the selection of Mr. Edward J. Boule as dedicatory recipient.

STUDENT COUNCIL This was the initial year of the LHS Student Council and it was well received by the vast majority of pupils. Advisor Mr. LaPlante steered it along on a sensible, mature course. Rules and regulations govern¬ ing dress, behavior, etcetera, have been spelled out by coun¬ cil members, who were chosen by their homeroom class¬ mates. Thus, it’s only natural that their policies should be binding upon the entire school. Karen Handley presides at an informal meeting DEBATING Thirty years ago Mr. Norm Hamley was an acknowledged bril¬ liant orator-rhetorician on the Worcester high school scene. Therefore, it’s incumbent that we should be putting his talents to valuable use. And that’s exactly what we’re doing. As debating ad¬ visor here at school, he has been non-sparing in solidifying on A-l squad. Let’s hope and trust he’ll be rewarded with a sleuth of victories in the Swingin’ Seventies. Paul Johnson Marianna Mahoney Bob Hartman CHINESE CLASS We should certainly regard ourselves blessed for hav¬ ing a mandarin master like Mr. LaPlante in our midst. With his knowledge of this language, it wouldn’t be sur¬ prising if we’ll be sending ambassadors to the court of Peking.

It is hoped next year that we shall go to print on at least a bi¬ monthly basis so as to compete favorably with other schools in the area. Too, the sound of the “Award-winning Arrow” has a pleasant ring to it. So, let’s get with it, kids. It’s your best medium of communicating intimately with the student body.

Like “Brown Derby” A1 Smith would say, “Let’s take a look at the record.” It speaks volumes by itself—a 22-won, 2-lost overall record, the Southern Worcester County League title, the Clark University Larger Schools crown, and a finalist’s berth in the District 3 playoffs. It all adds up to EXCEL¬ LENCE spelled out by Coach Hippert and his sparkling troupe of players. Two titles, a slot in the District 3 finals, and a 22-2 record. You just can’t belabor that point too often. It’s an amazing accom¬ plishment and here are the seven chief ar¬ chitects of it: from left, Steve Londergan, Steve Corley, Dennis O’Brien, Jim King, Cliff Smith, Phil Carlos, and Barney Hen- nessy. Coach Ed Hippert and Captain Cliff Smith Unitl the ’69 basketball team arrived on the scene, there ' s no questioning the fact that the ’61 footballers were Leicester’s all-time greatest sporting outfit. Now both can share the top rung. The court magicians are shown at left. Front: Steve Londergan, Cliff Smith, Dennis O ' Brien, and Phil Carlos.

BASKETBALL As always Coach Joe Corlomagno floored a club which annually compiles a better than 80 per cent winning average. This edition was no exception as it virtually made a shambles of SWCL competition. But that ' s only secondary. What’s most important is the talent that’s being ripened for the rigors of varsity play. And, boy, there’s a real harvest for the 1969-70 season. A most appropriate time also when you consider the departure of Smitty, King-o, Obie, Sweet Steve, and Bobo Bosse. Huge voids, to be sure, but we’re certain there are enough J.V. players around the corner to fill the gaping holes. Steve shows ’em how Wylie wows ' em with a wiggle Beteha can’t More stretchum 67 CHEERLEADERS What was stated previously about the 1969 basketball team ean also be reiterated for the cheerleaders. Words are superfluous. What they do each year from September to April is like a symphonic orchestra¬ tion of beauty—flawless, magnificent. And that was the appraisal of the judges who voted them top prize in the David Prouty Tourna¬ ment this year. It ' s the most sought-after and cherished crown in Central Mass, cheerleading competition. But that’s not the whole story. The kids went to Deerfield and were rewarded with second place in the Frontier Regional Tourney. And at the end of the night Gilda Salminen was named “Miss Cheerleader.” What a year! It’s intricate maneuvers like the one shown opposite that have enraptured the fans and cap¬ tivated the judges. Symmetry is the trademark of these nine girls.

First-year coach Kathy Cushing proved she was as knowledgeable as Adolph Rupp in leading this feared juggernaut. “Into each life a little rain must fall” and unfortunately, the downpour came for us in the Sutton Tourney when a squad of Northbridge upstarts derailed us in our bid for the crown. Otherwise, we spent the season on Glory Road. What a feeling!

Of course, the envy of every student is Jim Fontaine, the chiseled grad who may well become a future Mr. Universe. He’s indestructible. And let’s not forget Johnny Huntoon, who is a continuing part of that family dynasty which has dominated this competition since its inception in 1963. This two-page spread serves as a challenge to all students. Become a record-breaker and your picture will appear in next year’s annual.

A second-place finish to Grafton in the SWCL league followed by a berth in the District 3 playoffs. None of us will ever forget that heartbreaking 4-3 loss to Shrewsbury in the tourney quarter-finals. Freshman Paul Laliberte stood the Colonials on their ears through seven innings before Jack Hurst’s liner to left bad-hopped by Brian Corley for a three-run homer that proved decisive. Adversity, yes, but triumph will follow in 1970. Barney Hennessy Harlan Dunn A WELL-DESERVED TRIBUTE TO JOHN CHASSE The June 30, 1969, issue of the Worcester Telegram may have told it all, but vve feel compelled to reiterate. John Chasse is now numbered among the genuine heroes of all wars in which we have engaged. The Silver Star for valor for killing four Viet Cong in night patrol action March 23, and twice the Purple Heart for wounds suffered in action. We all prayerfully hope that Our Lord will guide this outstanding teacher- coach-war hero through the perilous months ahead and return him safely to our midst next February. 79 Field phenoms Jay Doherty and Dennis O’Brien Quarter-milers Richie Dennison and Ken Frost Discuss wonder Wayne Mallett Dash men Ken Largesse and Tom Brennan Distance runners Leo Murphy and Richie O’Brien TRACK 1969 Vfc.

Right now they look like survivors of Aushwitz, but daily intake of Mapo and membership in the International Health Club will earn for Leicester the team label “Muscleland, U.S.A.” Front row, from left: Tom Brennan, Lee Mur¬ phy, Rich O’Brien, Ken Largesse, Dennis Burtt, Ken Greenhalge, Jay Doherty, and Ev Mosher.

Broad Jumpers Coach Hamley’s expertise in the area of field events is common knowledge among buffs in Worcester schoolboy circles. His current prob¬ lem is that too many of our upperclassmen are shedding their shoes for the feel of that car ac¬ celerator. That means getting a job after school, so the two-year training period spent commun¬ ing with the cinders goes down the drain. Let’s assume a posture of perseverance so as indoctri¬ nation will lead to fruition in the way of an era to be known as the “Successful Seventies.” Shot-putting whiz FIELD SENSATIONS Low Hurdlers Pole Vaulters A.

The turnout was on the skimpy side, but as Coach Norm Hamley intoned, “It’s not quantity, but quality that counts.” We had that in superabundance as can attest the birds and the bees, along with the squirrels and the chipmunks, whose solitary lives here on the hilly slopes of Leicester were molested each autumn afternoon by these plodding prancers.

The Class of 1969 would like to thank those who contributed in any way to make this the most marvelous social event of our teen-age lives. Some of the lively ones A cheery atmosphere “The play’s the thing wherein we shall conquer the imagination of the town.” ADAM’S EVENING Perhaps the saddest news of the year was hearing that Play Direc¬ tor John Sullivan was going into retirement. The press of head de¬ partmental duties in English is the reason. Like the miracle of the wine at Cana of Galilee, we’ll al¬ ways remember him for saving his best production till last. Even he admitted it, so that’s all the more reason why the cast members should feel genuinely Broadway- boastful. They merited it by their flawless performance.

The occasion was the Senior Dinner-Dance. A festive mood prevailed despite the knowledge that friendships formed over the last four years would now, in many cases, be severed. We thank God for memories of which there were many that evening. We shall treasure them al¬ ways. Ai Presentation Somber nostalgia 97 STUDENTS Adorable archbearers The maudlin mob GRADUATION 1969 THE WHITE HOUSE Washington TO THE 1969 GRADUATING CLASS LEICESTER HIGH SCHOOL This is a day when congratulations arc in order not only to the graduates but to the parents, teachers, and administrators whose efforts have helped to make this achievement possible. I extend my heartiest congratulations to all of you. At a time when there is much talk about the differences between the generations. I think it is useful to remark upon a similarity between your graduating class of 1969 and my graduating class of 1930. Your high school years have been historic ones. When you entered high school, man was making his elementary steps into space. In your senior year, three brave Americans journeyed around the moon. When I graduated from high school, only three years had passed since a man flew for the first time across the Atlantic Ocean. Despite the obvious difference in years, we have this in common: we all know what it is to be young at the start of an age of adventure. You will discover, as I did, that each person must make his own exploration of the world, make his own discoveries, shape his own triumphs, endure his own tragedies. Each of us is an explorer of himself, of history, of knowledge, of the intricate and bcatiful and wonderful varieties of experience. Each of you will make a different kind of exploration, some in continued formal education, some in industry or business or agriculture. Whatever your choice, learn. Learn all you can about yourself and the world. Your final year in high school was the beginning of an age of adventure, an age you will help to shape. You have my highest hopes and best wishes. mimrmsi ' v W W • w - 4 100 One of our time-tested class¬ mates, Pam (Rocky) Colarusso, a Gibraltar in personality and character, left us in senior year. But true to her word, she re¬ turned to share with us the joy of Commencement. Voted Best All-Around Girl and Boy were Shirl Irish and Cliffy Smith. Of course, the two who took credit for molding them so magnificently were Bruce Smith and Jim Coughlin. Natu¬ rally, Bruce asked for a recount of the faculty ballots, demanding No. 1 recognition for being the first man ever to make an automobile fly. Graduation, more so than any other high school event, brings out the myriad moods of the stu¬ dents who are about to receive their diplomas. Analyze this pic¬ ture and you will capture stoi¬ cism (Joe O’Connell), gladness (Sue Williams), and a tint of sad¬ ness (Fern Cooper). COMMENCEMENT HIGHLIGHTS !
