We were impervious to his wisdom. Never, though, did he regard us as unteachables but kept constantly probing our minds. Now, as serious seniors, we are attuned to his teaching techniques and realize that there is certainly a method to his madness.f Label him superior” as a classroom instructor. However, his genuine interest for youth is more fully evidenced by his lifelong devotion to disadvantaged kids at Camp Putnam. When the scriptural saying, As long as you did it for one of these, the least of my brethren, you did it for me,” is mentioned, his name stands out monumentally. Thus, its incumbent upon us — the Class of 1971 to recognize and reward his service to teenagers. We do so by dedicatng this, the 1971 MAROON, to Mr. Robert P. Rochette. . mm - i 2 Administration Mr. Edward J. Boule Asst. Principal ” Mr. John E. Comer ' Asst. Superintendent ” Mr. Edmund F.

The iron knocker fell heavily on the old wooden door, disturb¬ ing an early morning silence. Upon answering the door I was greeted by Mark Robidoux, an errand boy for the ' No Star’ delivery service. Surprised to see me, Mark?”, I asked. Not really,” he replied, I’ve heard rumors of an eccen¬ tric redhead living in a hermitage in this area, chances were pretty good that it would be you. Mark had a package and a special delivery letter for me. It had been a long time since I baa last received word from the outside world so I was anxious to find out what they were. The letter was from the Chillsbury Flake-Off Competition. Their judges Dennis Doane and Dennis Sahagen, after a typical dispute, had awarded me second prize for my burnt chocolate milk recipe. First Diace had gone to Michelle Holmes for her T Am Curtious Yellow’ banana dread. Winning the contest entitled me to a free, all expense paid tour of the U.S. In the smaller print, I discovered that my means of transportation would be a Dube-Coop, a modified Volkswagen in¬ vented by Perry Dube and Richard Cooper. The tour was planned by Ken Frost’s Frolicking Fun-Lovers Franchise. I couldn’t wait to embark on this strange tour but before leaving, I decided to open my package. It was a pink and purple, stuffed seven tentacled octopus. The note read, Hope you can put this to good use.” Love and Seaweed, Scott Sundstrom and Peter Shemeth. They had joined Jacques Cousteauls Underwater Troupe and were well noted for their work against pol¬ lution. The next hours were hectic as I loaded the Dube-Coop. To make sure the car operated properly, I brought Tommy Pel- ley’s newest book. Car’s and other Four-Lettered Machines. My first stop was an exchange store. The proprietress was Kathy Wolanski. Kathy directed me to the complaint depart¬ ment where I was assisted by Marcia Young. I complained that I had received an octopus with only seven tentacles. She said the only thing I could exchange it for was a ticket to a secret event. While waiting for the ticket, Kathy told me that Laurie Turner was fortunate enough to be working wth Nader’s Raiders, cleaning-up dishonest school systems. My surprise ticket was to a combination weightlifting and wrestling display. In the tag team division the Silver Tongued Wonder David Allen was competing against himself, the only worthy opponent. The tag teams partners were Debbie Taylor and Denise Riopel. In the weight-lifting competition Mike Carney, alias Captain Nemo Carnac, was said to be a sure winner. Nemo had started weight-lifting his senior year of high school, while carrying six packs of health tonic under each arm on Saint Patty’s Day. In the female division. Killer Corey was said to place first. I remembered that Annie had developed her muscles carrying her paraphernalia to English class. I then jumped into the Dube-Coop and headed towards Washington, D. C. I tuned in the radio in time to catch the end of the news. The cheery announcer for station W.I.N.O. was Mark Sroka. On the music scene, Tom Lennon of Wonderful Wino was sponsoring a rock festival. For entertainment they were having the latest singing craze Duke (Bobby) Ducharme, crooning his top hit, It’ll Be A Blue Chrstmas Without Jerimiah.” Along with the Duke, straight from Sesame Street, was Janice Murphy singing Spot the Ant” and I Hate Pickles.’’ The program was then interrupted by a newsflash. Debbie Ful- giniti, the world’s leading switcheroo champion was missing! Debbie had been traveling from R.I. to California by means of Chinese Red Light. It appears that she was side-tracked somewhere in the vicinity of Peru, Nebraska and hasn’t been seen | since. Award winning photographers Clic (David) Laincz and Flash (Don) Peterson were combing the area. By this time of day, I was near exhaustion. I began wondering why the tour had not planned any stops sooner. My next stop came sooner than expected. The Coop had just entered the Holland Tunnel when I was blinded by a glaring light. While pulling over I almost hit Joan Kennedy. This scene nearly repeated itself when Nancy Dudley and Wenaee Johnston collid¬ ed into Joan, who went sprawling across the front of the Coop. They stopped giggling long enough to tell me that they were being chased by the police for illegal tunnel inspection. This was a big step from the passage beneath the Federated Church. Moments later Dwight Hebert and Cathy Boulay rushed by yelling that it was only a joke and that once again they had been impersonating police officers. Much to my chagrin, I was to spend the night at the new Ambassador Hotel, now owned by Dennis Ledoux and Vincent Lorditch. They told me that as a personal favor they were allowing Paul Miller to remain as bell boy. The next morning I decided to do some shopping. On my way downtown I bumped into Charlie Benoit. Charlie informed me that he now owned and operated the world s largest adult book store, it was located next to a night club run by Liz Bod- die and Marlene Burlingame. I had waved good-bye to Charlie and stepped from the curb when a car suddenly veered toward me. An hour later I awoke to find myself in the emergency ward of a hospital. Kathy Lanagan, the nurse in charge, assured me that everything was fine. It seems that Judy Rolander was driving Paul Harmon and Lee Hestad to work; because they had picked up flarlan Dunn on the way, they were late. The light had changed quickly and their brakes failed to work. Linda Fortin, a live-in patient at the hospital, took me on a tour. We skipped oft at the operating room. Frank Nelson was the performing surgeon, with Barbara Berthiaume as his assisting nurse. They were performing a difficult operation on Tommy Leonard. This was so difficult be¬ cause it was an indepth brain analysis. Linda told me that the Reverend Everett Mosher was standing by just in case. After leaving the hosp ital, I decided to forget shopping and to continue my journey. Several miles later I picked up two travelers. They were Tommy McCue and Bruce Henderson. They were going to a fresh air commune operated by Donna Welch and Polly Shawn Vanasse. Tommy told me that Bird (Paul Richards) and Chucky Dalton had opened a health food store there. Tommy also mentioned that Tim Redding and Fran Plaud jointly owned a paper company. Bruce told me that Barb Wilson hadn t been heard from in a long time; she had been living in Canada for quite a while. 32 Judi Guilfoyle Class Prophecy The evening I stopped at a large hotel down South. In the middle of the night I was disturbed by a loud ruckus outside my room. A large crowd bad gathered on the stairs. They were watching a peculiar figure dressed in curlers, a wild nighty and striped dungarees. She was trying to paint a straight line down the wall. In the crowd of onlookers I noticed Nancy Doane ana Barbara Dorr. They told me that they were secretaries on vacation. Barbara asked me who the strange person was and when I told her it was Donna Macdonald, all she could say was Honest To God? Nancy later said that Debbie Hassett and Linda Lajoie were happily married housewives conducting a fund drive for under-privileged children. She also said that Larry Perodeau was breeding iguanas somewhere in Florida. Tne next morning, it was time for me to take to the air. With Chicago as my destiny, I prepared to hoard a gleaming 707. As I approached the plane I noticed Richard Antanavica fueling up. Upon entering I was greeted by Bev True and Pat Den- esha, the air stewardesses for the day. It was my good fortune to be seated next to that international playboy Mike Knox. After a few cocktails we started talking about the good ole days. Mike told me that he had recently seen Richard Komosky, the wealthy owner of the I.D. Printing Company. We were then interrupted by an announcement from our pilot Ken Cocker from the cockpit. Ken’s announcement was cut short by a loud cry from the back of the plane. A man in bright clothing was leaping down the aisle, madl swinging a golf club. It was Eddie Barlow, that frustrated golfer on his way to the Pork Pack¬ ers Open in Chicago. I ' m hijacking this plane to Chicago, he said. After calming the passengers down Beverly chatted for a while with Michael and I. Sne told us that Kathy Bohlin had become secretary for a small town library, and that Linda La- Hair and Kathy Reed had organized a search party to scout the local restrooms for Eleanor McKeon. The movie featured on this flight was the Hollywood adaptation of Death of A Salesman. ' As usual the plot was changed so that the star, Douglas Ingalls, would return from the dead to haunt poor Florence Laflin, his unfortunate secretary. A Road Runner’ cartoon fol¬ lowed with the beep-beep played by Bruce Kennen. The plane landed in Chicago around noon, just in time for lunch at the Ackerman Eatery. Gayle’s restaurant was known for its friendly atmosphere. After lunch I realized that I would need transportation. Remembering that Richard Hartman and Michael Hovagimian owned a used car lot I decided to pay them a visit. Mike said that because I was an old classmate I could borrow any car I wanted. After driving several yards in my newly rented car I discovered that the gas was rapidly depleting. I pulled into a service station where I was attended by Cora Goodwin. Cora had decided against office work becasue she felt that being an auto mechanic would offer more advancement in the future. Because it was such a confusing day I decided to rest at a near-by park. It was there that I met Jeanne Entwistle. Jeanne was selling trinkets, used books and other magical things from a small horse drawn cart. The profit went to Lex Snvder ' s Indian reservation for persecuted minority females against war. Jeanne said that Carol Phipps was the occupational therapist and all around helper at the reservation. And that they were hoping to have Lynne Potter, the famous naturalist work there next summer. Bobby Barrus was directing a wood crafts center, in fact he had made Jeanne’s cart. For entertainment, that evening, it was suggested that I visit Pam Sands gypsy tea room, to have my fortune read. I was looking forward to a visit with Pam so I decided to go. Pam had elaborately designed the front of the building with taro and zodiac signs. Because I was not particularly interested in my future, I asked Pam if her crystal ball had come up with anyone I knew. Pam had recently focused in on Leicester. There she had seen Sue Paradise. The second image was of Alan Cunningham. Spooky A1 had become a mad pharmacist, whipping up formulas to make himself invisible. The crystal ball also spotted Janice Montville. Pam was not sure where Janice was, or what she was doing, but as usual she was having fun. I said good-bye to Pam and started back to my hotel for a much needed rest. Approaching the hotel I noticed a scene that reminded me of my junior English class. Beneath the streetlamp was a painted woman, luring an innocent farm boy. It was Ellen Riel, autographing a copy of her new book on body painting for Paul Soojian. Paul tola me that Warren Tuiskula was a hard working janitor in the vicinity of Harvard Square. The next morning I was visited by Sue McNamara. Sue was organizing a class reunion and to insure its success, she was personally tracking down each member of the class. From Sue I learned that Jane Early was teaching sex education and that ner partner in crime Debbie Dufault was an executive secretary for the Patty Lyon Model Agency. I also learned that Dave McCIusky and Roger Witt, who had joined the Navy to see the world, were stationed off the coast of Alaska. Sue had stayed with Brother Bill Lamprey the well known preacher on his tour of the South. Sue Rodgers the famous opera singer, had been with him, helping to spread the Word. Sue had a Few more people to look up so she invited me to attend a baseball game. On the way to the Field she told me that Karen Gosler had been touring Germany with Linda Miller. Linda was visiting the sight of her ancestry during the German Beer Brewers Festival when she accidently fell into a fountain. Karen a registered nurse, was treating her for a severe case of pneumonia. We arrived at the stadium just as the sports commentator Sixteen Ton (Ronny) Sutkus announced that it was the last of the ninth, a tied score, two outs and the bases were loaded. There was quite a commotion at third base. Third baseman, Tom Donohue was having a tickle Fight with Evelyn Hiser, the third base coach. Fleetfooted Paul Bedard was at¬ tentively listening to instructions from Evelyn, who was mathematically Figuring Paul’s chances of reaching home. Those chances were pretty good because Brian Corley was up at bat. The Slugger took a nard, steady swing at the whizzing ball. His aim was perfect and the ball soared towards the left Field fence. The crowd rose as it traveled higher and for a moment my vi¬ sion was blurred. Then there was a loud gasp from the stands. I regained sight of the field to see the ball lying in the lap of a peacefully sleeping David Miller who was strategically proped against the left Field fence. The game was over and Miller’s Killers had won. The custom was for the balloon man Bob Streeter to release a cloud of balloons at the end of the game. At the sight of the approaching balloons spectator Lee Bogart emitted a loud scream. Oh No! Not again!” She ran from the sta¬ dium never to be seen. I wondered about Lee’s strange reaction to the balloons because mine was of a different nature. Eventually each balloon would separate from the mass and travel its own way, as did the Class of ’71. What a class. 33 Maroon Coffee House Pep Rally Senior Superlatives MOST COURTEOUS Brian Corley Michelle Holmes SEXIEST Dave Miller Pam Sands MOST UNDERSTANDING BEST LEGS DEAR ABBX Ronnie Sutkus Jeanne Entwistle Paul Bedard Ann Corey NUTTIEST Mark Sroka Marlene Burlingame BROWNIES OF THE YEAR Dave Laincz Lynne Potter 35 TARZAN AND JANE Dwight Hebert Cathy Boulay mm i l . m « Beautifully Said” ARTISTS OF THE YEAR BEST CRITICS Ed Barlow Deb Taylor k 1 I i IV ; ] M PARTY-GOERS OF THE YEAR Paul Soojian Lee Bogart Vince Lorditch Linda Miller JOE AND JANE” COOL Mike Carnev Sue McNamara SHORTEST Chuck Dalton Joan Kennedy SCHOOL SKIPPERS Bruce Henderson Kathy Reed HA PPIEST Fran Plaud Judy Guilfoyle MOST FLIRTATIOUS Larry Perodeau Karen Gosler CLASS CLOWNS Bruce Kennen Liz Boddie MOST SERIOUS Alan Cunningham Kathy Bohlin MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED Ev Hiser Warren Tuiskula 37 ittS ft WAY-OUT MOST TALKATIVE Paul Richards Barbara Wilson Ken Frost Linda Fortin MOST MISCHIEVOUS MOST CREATIVE Mark Robidoux Wendee Johnston WISE-GUYS Bob Streeter Marcia Youne O our TO LUNC H BEST CONSUMERS Charlie Benoit Gayle Ackerman Class History Seniors at last! Are we really going to miss dodging drip buckets, having our very ow n senior locker room, and seeing doors blowing in the wind? Those four memorable years at Leicester High, now past history, will be looked back upon and remembered the rest of our lives. They were years of turmoil and change in school life as well as in the world. Arriving here in 1967 as freshmen, we were amazed at the great difference high school life was from 8th grade — no more lines, no more stairs, no more 1,000 word compositions. With Mr. Hippert as our class advisor, we chose as our officers: Dave Miller, president: Linda Miller, vice president; Evelyn Hiser, secretary; and Brian Corley, treasurer. We were well represented in sports, with 37 freshmen on teams. This year was one of the best LHS had seen in sports. The boy’s basketball team captured the Southern Worcester County League Crown, the Clark Tournament title, and the District 111 Championship, qualifying them for a shot at the State title in Boston Garden. But just missing it by losing to Westford Academy by one point. The baseball team was also spectacular with an overall record of 11-4. Coming back the next September as sophomores. It was now our turn to make fun of the lost little freshman. We started off the year with elections of class officers. W ith the help of Mrs. Cushing we voted: Mike Knox, presi¬ dent; Nancy Dudley, vice president; Mark Robidoux, treasurer; and Sue McNamara, secretarv. This year we really got into what was happening. There arose disagreement as to what was the acceptable length for a boy ' s hair and a girl ' s skirt. This was becoming a widespread issue in high schools across the country. A group of students dealt w ith their problem by circulating petitions and staging a peaceful demonstration; resulting in deliberations on the part of ev¬ eryone and an agreement of sorts was reached. With members of our own class participating in the newly formed student council we became involved in bringing about changes and improvements to our school. Although not yet able to accomplish all they set out to do, as time went on things would get better. This year in the sports department, there were 38 members of the sophomore class participating in all sports. The varsity baskeball team again won the SWCL title and the Clark Uni¬ versity Larger Schools crow n, and also a finalist in the District 3 playoffs. With an overall record of 22-w ins, 2-losses. The girl’s basketball team captured the SW ' CL championship w ith an overall record of 12-wins, 1-loss. Near the end of the year, it finally came our turn to order our class rings, and we did so with some importance. For our thrilling, adventure-packed class trip, we filled two busses and happilv started out for Whalom Park in fog and drizzle. Arming too early for an thing but roller skating and the penny arcade — we discovered the only two attractions worth any attention, the funhouse and roller coaster, were closed down for the day. We decided to have a good time anyway and ended our second year on kiddie rides, after eating burnt hotdogs and dried hamburgers cooked b the advisors. Becoming juniors also meant the distinction of now being upperclassmen — and with that came our long awaited class rings. For days after we received them, the school echoed with sounds of spinning rings on desk tops, and arguments on whose ring was the better. Elections for class officers were held with the results: Brian Corley, president; Ann Corey, vice president; Barbara Berthiaume. treasurer; and Barbara Dorr, secretary. With 31 members of the junior class on varsity sports, we had another good year — in girl ' s basketball the record was 13-2; Joan Kennedy receiving the Most Valuable Player award, Evelyn Hiser — Student Athlete of the Year, and Karen Cosier — contributed most to sports. The boy s basketball team again came up first winning the SW CL title, extending their un¬ defeated league winning streak to 41 games. Also champions of the Large Schools Division of Clark Tournament and placing second in the districts. In baseball and softball, the boys ended with an 8-5 record, the girls, 9-3. The cheerleaders won first place at the Prouty Tournament, and second at Frontier Regional; with Linda Miller and Nano Dudlev representing our class. With Mrs. Martinez as our advisor and matchmaker, we soon began planning our Junior Prom. It was held at Franklin Manor on Mat 22nd with Joe Sims band playing our theme, A Time For Us,” and choosing our queen: Janice Murphy; with her court: Cora Goodwin, Linda Mi er, in a ajoe an ar ara Dorr. The faculty kept us entertained with Mr. Rochette leading a wild snake dance and Mrs. Martinez demonstrating a unique way to do the Mexican Hat dance. We’ll all remember that nite, each for his own reasons. As time flew by, we suddenly found ourselves unbelievably, seniors! Now it’s our turn to go first in the lunch lines, our turn to get out of school early and to skip final exams. It felt funny at first when we realized we were the oldest there, except for the faculty of course. Our senior class officers are: Mike Knox, president; Dave Miller, vice president; Linda Miller, secretarv: and Nancy Dudley, treasurer. We also elected Carol Phipps as our Student Government Day Representative and Lynne Potter as our DAR Representative. We started off the year with the Senior Class Play, a three act comedy called Rest Assured. Miss Gleason directed and chose the cast: Douglas Ingalls, Janice Murphy, Nancy Dudley, ' i Ann Corey, Judy Guilfoyle, David Laincz, Frank Nelson, Pam Sands, Kenny Frost, Wendee Johnston, Everett Mosher. Michelle Holmes, Bruce Kennen. David Miller, Brian Corley, and Susan Rogers. After nearly driving Miss Gleason crazy , try ing to make something out of the halarious and tortuous rehearsals, we finally presented it on December 11, certain it would be a total disaster. To our disbelief it was a great success, with Ann Corey accidentally dropping her barbells on Dougie-Poo’s foot, and Judi ' s fainting act. We’ll all remember the party in the blizzard afterwards. Next came hectic plans for our senior class trip to Washington, D. C., April 16th thru the 19lh, with 41 seniors attending. After mechanical difficulties, changing busses, food stops, and spitball fights, we finally arrived at the (ahem) ritzy Ambassador Hotel to strains of Joy To The World.” With the help of Jerry the bus driver, our cheerful guide, Mary Poppins, and our GAROOVY chaperones: Mr. Sullivan. Miss Joyce, Mr. Sipos, Miss Debs (and mysterious friend,) — we began the fun. Friday nite found everyone running around switching rooms and ordering clean sheets and towels. After roaming the streets we all went to bed at a reasonably indecent hour. Saturday and Sunday were spent on tours always ending up waiting for someone who couldn’t seem to keep Mary Poppin’s umbrella in sight. Saturday and Sunday nites were spent at one big party — and discovering the hotel full of kids our own age from all over the country . W hat w ith Mr. Sipos patrolling the 6th floor w ith his FUZZ badge, Linda Miller doing a superb dog paddle across the fountain, and taking care of a few sick ones, we all experienced a really different and terrific time. We also bought out the balloon store at the zoo, the hotel manager didn ' t believe his eyes w hen he saw us coming! We left the rooms smell¬ ing cleaner, the Embassy Room guards meaner. On the ride home Bobby Streeter kept those in the back of the bus awake with his original songs and stories. And we all arrived in Leices¬ ter, exhausted and broke — wishing we were back in Washington, and wishing, and wishing . . . This was a pretty good year as far as sports went. The boy’s basketball team winning the District Playoffs and ending with a 14-7 record. The football team with a 5-3-1 all over record. And the baseball team coming up with the Southern Worcester County League first place title for the first time in LHS history. The girl’s basketball team ended the Southbridge Invitational and were defeated in their first game ending their season with a record of 11 and 3. The cheerleaders won fourth place in the David Prouty Tournament with four members of our class on it: Linda Miller, Barb Berthiaume, Debbie Fulginiti and Nancy Dudley. This year Brian Corley made the all star team. The All Stars of Central Massachusetts for basketball, and honorable mention for football in his junior year and senior year. Dave Miller received an honorable mention for football. Suddenly the end of our school days rushed up on us and graduation day, which seemed so far away, is now facing us and in some ways we re not all so eager to meet it. All in all, we’ll all agree, the senior year was about the best. Our class helped contribute much to the school, beginning such clubs as the ski club, bowling club and senior bookstore. We helped make changes in subjects, as well as many other things over the years. We leave in hopes that these w ill be continued and ' many more added. Now we are all looking forward to the last big event of the year, our dinner-dance, to be held tonite at Treasure Island. This Wednesday at 8:15 will be our Graduation Day, which will be met with mixed emotions. On behalf of the 185th Senior Graduating Class of Leicester High School, I ' d like to thank all the students and faculty who helped make our goals become reality. 39 Class Will We, the glorious students of the Senior Class of 1971, being o f sound education, reputable be¬ havior and perfect attendance, do make, publish, and with few modifications, declare this to be our last Will and Testament.
