1 ■ .i ' -y. ' k: ■ ; tm What can we reason, but from what we know? He, who thro ' vast Immensity can pierce, See worlds on worlds compose one universe, Observe how system into system runs, What other planets circle other What varied being peoples ever .May tell why Heaven has made us as we are. Alexander Pops WhBH| Km| Do the moon and the stars affect our lives? As- trologers say yes; the position of the heavenly bo- dies is directly related to our actions and emotions. Whether this is true or false, one thing goes un- questioned: space is the environment that we share with every other living being, and it must certainly affect us all in one way or another. Earth is a more limited environment, which makes its effects on us more obvious. We know that all life is dependent on the sun, and on the plants that grow from the soil. We are cold or hot depending on the state of the earth ' s atmosphere, and we regulate our activities accordingly. More specifically, we are affected by the environ- ment of our own town. During school days, we spend the greatest amount of time within the limits of Longmeadow, a small New England town. A common sentiment in this area is that a person growing up in Long- meadow is sheltered, and may not be in touch with the real world. It is true that subur- bia, our immediate environ- ment, provides us with a rela- tively quiet setting. The rates of crime and poverty are low here, as compared with the cities. A Longmeadowite who spends his days close to home and goes into the city only for shows and shopping malls is likely never to see in person goes on in the six o ' clock news stead of crumbling tenements high rise office buildings, we see quaint colonial houses or modern one- family homes. Grassy backyards with sprinklers going, lawn mowers and two-car garages — all are part of our Longmeadow environment. Does this mean that we are out of touch with the real world? We do not have to be. A city dweller can be just as naive as any suburban high school stu- dent, if he closes his eyes to all but his immediate environment. As scientists explore foreign planets in an effort to better understand the Universe, so must we explore environments differ- ent from our own, if only to improve our understanding of the people with whom we share our state, our country, and our planet. We enter at fourteen and immediately sense a change. Middle school, with all its chewing gum laws, one-way corridors, and four foot sixth-graders, is behind us at last. On we go to a world of elective courses, parking lots, towering upperclassmen, and passing-time chaos. Endless new experiences await us — once we can find our way around. We are high school freshmen. As is often the case with new thrills, they wear off quickly. It takes surprisingly little time for this huge, unknown environment to become totally familiar. It really is not so hard to find room 243, and maybe chewing gum is not the ultimate freedom. During our four years of high school, the LHS environment grows to include friends, sports, studying, artwork, clubs, competition, and testing. We begin to find areas where we can excel, and where we fall behind. We may be discouraged by competition or discover new potential. Junior year, so we hear, is the hardest. We may think that we worked hard as sophomores, but just wait! Along with all those courses put off from ninth and tenth grade, comes a series of all-important, Saturday morning tests. It starts with the PSAT ' s in the fall, and from there the list goes on and on. Oh, to be a senior! They have it made. Senior year. By now, for the old time native Longmeadow High Schooler, the building is like our fall-winter- spring home away from home. We know every graffiti mark on those old walls, and we have been through a large percentage of the faculty. We have swamped our poor guidance counselors with enough problems, schedule changes, and last-minute college applications to make ourselves remembered, and it is time once again to march on. We become more and more distracted as the year progresses, and by March, senioritis has set in for good. Thank you, Longmeadow High School. Thank you for letting us grow as adolescents within your walls, and for releasing us as hopeful young adults into the outside world. Who would stop to look at a s ' ngle flower petal, plucked from its stem and lying on the ground? Who would collect a pile of single petals decorate his home? We all know the a ver, and we understand why it is so. Only when the petals are joint tgc her in a definite ttern, do they uecome a thing of beauty. The flower is a triumph of nature; it is pi? d, it grows, and finally it blossoms in a burst of color and symmetry.

Thus, the earth is hut a single petal in a larger scheme of things.

We all know Copy: Diana Simon Photo: Robin Odentz Athletics pp. 94-133 _ B I Despite the wide range of interests represented at Longmeadow High School, few people will disagree that the emphasis is always on academics. Math, foreign languages, science, English, and history are given top priority in the school, along with other more specialized academic courses. An academic environment fills the hallways and follows a student through the greater part of his school day. Just what creates the special environment of an academic classroom? Most evident is the teacher-students relationship. One man or woman teaches a group of fifteen to twenty-five teenagers, who are expected to listen and participate. Loudness and activity are suppressed for fifty-four minutes at a time, in the hope that knowledge and understanding will take their place. Boredom may deaden the atmosphere in one class, while the next one is fun and stimulating. Studies continue for the serious student in the library, at home, and even in the cafeteria and the courtyard. Testing creates a unique environment in itself. During a major test, hours of studying will either pay off, or be rendered futile. Everybody feels the tension in the air. Good grades, the goal of most college and career bound students, are largely dependent on test scores. The pressure to perform well is turned on and off with the ringing of the bell. x For academically inclined students, there are several clubs that are geared to their interests. In and out of school, an academic environment is always available to those who wish to pursue it. The environment in the English de- partment was seriously altered this year, especially for seniors who were suddenly mixed in heterogeneous classes. Except for the advanced placement students, all seniors found themselves among others with higher and lower intellectual capacities. This was a controversial issue throughout the year, causing an unstable atmo- sphere. Since the program was in its origins, all side and opinions were con- sidered for evaluation. Some teachers and students felt that the new system was more realistic in relation to the outside world, because people are not normally tracked . Also, a valuable exchange of ideas was still apparent in the new classes. Others felt very un- comfortable and saw a loss of motiva- tion when an individual was placed with a group of higher or lower achievers. They felt that the discussions were dominated by smarter students while the others sat back overwhelmed or uninterested. Strong opinions were held in all classes both in favor of the program and against it. Whether one felt secure or not, there was definitely an acknowl- edgement of a change in atmosphere within the English environment. 10 1. Virginia Allison 2. Donald Ladd 3. Eve Dolgin 4.

He noticed many differences between the academic structures in France and those in the United States. One of the major points is that high school students in the United States are more college oriented, while a large percentage of French students choose some type of competitive vocational school instead. Other young people begin on-the-job training in direct preparation for their future careers. Those students going from high school to vocational school are limited in number because of the few schools offered and the inconvenience of their locations. France, in trying to alleviate this situation, is building more high schools to better educate the young people. Mr. Villeneuve feels that this will only cause more problems, because using the money to build high schools limits the funds available for the construction of voca- tional schools, which would be more profitable to the students. France is working to abolish this situation, Mr. Villeneuve says, but it will be a long, slow struggle. 12 ■ 1. Ann Meder 2. David Ostrander 3. Wil- liam Whittaker 4. Roger Morin 5. Robert Potvin 6.

Vito Riccio 13 One of the best courses designed to prepare students for the SAT ' s was the Senior Math pro- gram. As a quarter course it was offered during the fall quarter of each year and was a good review of the mathematics learned in high school. The majority of the students who enrolled in this program had not scored as well on the SAT ' s as they would have liked. After taking the course, however, the students had a great deal more confidence in themselves, and they performed much better than before the class. A study of the course was taken by Mr. McCarthy who found that the students enrolled in Senior Math A did indeed improve their scores more than students not enrolling. Timed tests were frequently given for practice. They helped to improve the students ' skill in nar- rowing down answers and deciding when it was more profitable to guess rather than leave the answer blank. Most people enjoyed the course, because the pass-fail option lessened the normal pressures of a classroom. Personal improvement, the goal of Senior Math, was met successfully. 14 1.

Daniel Lynch Mr. Vangsness, a former student of Longmeadow High School, ha s been teaching history here for three years. He has noticed a great deal of change in the high school environment over the past ten years. A dress code was strictly enforced until 1970. Boys wore shirts and ties every day, and girls had to wear dresses. No jeans, denim trousers, miniskirts, or sandals were allowed, and boys ' hair could not touch the top of the ear or the collar. Detention was given for any infraction of a school rule and had priority over sports and activities. Mr. Vangsness states, School has become somewhat less strict. The administration has decided to face up to problems. This is why the idea of using the courtyard as a place to smoke was initiated. School in the sixties placed more emphasis on preparing students for college. A higher percentage of people went to college, as it was considered the right thing to do. Now more students are going directly into vocational trades, because a college degree is not always an assurance of success. Mr. Vangsness is enthusiastic about working with some of his former teachers, and he has gotten to know them well on a personal basis. He feels that the faculty at Longmeadow is fantastic , and because he can now better understand the teachers, he holds a deeper sense of admiration and respect for them. 17 £% _ 4 ■ 1 - [ 1 J JH — 1.

Thanks to our ingenious and courageous science department, these experiments are frequent. Mr. Suzor (better known as Rocket Ray ) is famous for set- ting off chemical explosions in front of his attentive classes. No lab block is without surprises in Rocket Ray ' s class. A room darkened for some shadowy experiments is a sure target for unexpected fireworks, and any discussion on hydrogen offers a perfect opportunity for the Rocket Man to demon- strate his hydrogen-heat reactions. There are times when Mr. Suzor ' s class gets al- most as excited as he does! In physics, there is nothing to compare with Mr. Hooper ' s no-fault car-down-hill demonstration. After a fascinating lecture on force vectors and gravity, Mr. Hooper attempted to show the applica- tion of the theory. He brought in a Tonka Toy truck and spent the block trying to roll it down a slope. Unknown to Mr. Hooper, however, the front wheels were jammed, and the truck re- mained at the top of the hill, dis- proving his entire explanation. Hoop calls of frustration filled the classroom, and in a fit of rage the disillusioned teacher vio- lently threw down the truck and stamped on it, demonstrating still another principle: the superior force of Mr. Hooper over a Tonka Toy truck. These episodes clearly illustrate the madness in the science depart- ment. Teacher demonstrations are a lot of fun and a refreshing break from routine material on photosyn- thesis, mitosis, or acceleration. Per- haps with time and practice, these presentations may even become educational learning experiences. - 19 Ains Bri haracter to LHS The A. B.C. program entered its third year at Longmeadow with new home sponsors. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, who were previously in charge of the A. B.C. house, moved to Vermont with their son. Dr. and Mrs. Wilson, and fresh- man Eileen, were the new fam- ily of the A. B.C. students. Like last year, the individuals in the program became involved in many school and community functions, from Basketball and Class Council to National Honor Society. During an interview with Senior Greg Allison, he stated that L.H.S. let me be what I wanted to be. He learned that people are people regardless of race. Greg realized that others were expecting him to succeed in school, scholasti- cally, socially, and personally. When asked what he enjoyed most at L.H.S., Greg replied, Catching a touchdown pass in the East Longmeadow game. Many A. B.C. students find that the pressures are strong at Longmeadow and the competition is harder than at most other schools. There are demands that have to be fulfilled, and at times the students are placed in difficult situations, the learning, however, has been beneficial in the A. B.C. experience. 20 H t || r ' X. s r 1 1 1 N.H.S. National Honor Society continued its work to promote scholarship at Longmeadow High. President Tina Millas was pleased by the large number of new members who were accepted in September. They joined the older members in N.H.S. activities around the school, which included a car wash and two induction teas. The tutoring program was very successful this year. It was popular and appreciated by both students and teachers, and it extended to tu- toring middle school students at night. N.H.S. members worked in the Lancer Bookstore and the History Department, where organizational help was needed. Advisors Mrs. Dolgin and Mrs. Dudley felt that the large membership in the club represented the continuing trend at L.H.S. toward scholastic achievement. 1.

The goal of the club was to capture the first place title, and to im- prove on playing skills. Donald Ladd was the advi- sor again this year. He aided the players and gave them guidance when needed. The purpose of Math Club is to investigate areas of math which are not normally discussed in math classes. Robert Alt- man was president, Peter Corey was vice president, Bob Hutchins was secre- tary, and Peter Kruc- zynski was treasurer. Oth- er members, along with advisor Mr. Greenwood, met often to work on problems or to use the computer. Seniors made up the core of the Math Team this year, under advisor Mr. Griffin. Mike Stein, Bruce Hochstadt, Ed Bet- tigole, Art Sibbach, Jim Medalie, and Bob Hutch- ins were key members who scored well during competition. Mike Stein was number one in the league, which was a re- markable achievement. Concentration and quick adaptibility to mathemat- ical concepts brought vic- tory for the team. M a Team h 22 Matching Wits Longmeadow High School participated in As Schools Match Wits for the sec- ond year. After an outstanding record last year, the brains (1) returned to contin- ue their successful trend. A lot of drilling and memorizing was necessary for Julian Munnich, Mike Swirsky, Peter Vedder, And Betsy Rosenbloom, the four starters on the program. Coached by Mr. Fitzger- ald and Mrs. Rahkonen (2,3), Longmea- dow showed great ability, especially dur- ing tense moments and close matches. The team ' s victories on television were a source of great pride to the school. Debate Team This year ' s topic for the Debate Team (4) was whether there should be a comprehensive National Penal Re- form Program. Coached by Mr. Fitzger- ald (2), the team performed extremely well and continued its successful re- cord of first place in the Connecticut Valley Debate League. Senior Michael Gebron had been on varsity for two years and did a fine job as captain. Oth- er members included Julian Munnich, Steve Winniman, and Mitch Pulman. Sally Blanchard was the official time keeper and private cheerleader for the squad. Mr. Fitzgerald ' s serious attitude promoted strong participation and out- standing results. 23 In Fond Memory Of Edwin L Finklehoffe Devoted Teacher Of Science At L.H.S 1931 - 1976 Some people strengthen the society just by being the kind of people they are. John W. Gardner 24 Masacksic 1977 is dedicated to a man who has been serv- ing our school for over fifteen years. He is an oboist with the Springfield Symphony, a band leader at Saturday afternoon football games, a conductor for the Jesters before school and at night, the orchestra director at school plays — and a teacher from 7:45 to 2:15.

Size is one, maturity (sometimes) is another. As senior year flies by, however, another important difference becomes apparent. Seniors find them- selves in an environment that is far removed from that of the underclassmen. For freshmen, the passing time brings them more and more into the mainstream of high school life. They have more freedom, more opportunities, and more responsibilities than ever before. They are surrounded during the day by older people, and there are lots of new faces in the halls for them to meet before the year is out. The environment of sophomores and juniors is in many ways similar to the freshman experience, but with less novelty and more high school savvy. Even the first half of senior year follows the pattern. Seniors have reached the top of the hierarchy, they have grown up a little bit, and they can really enjoy their position. Then something happens, and it is hard to pinpoint exactly when. Maybe it is being accepted at college that does it, or turning eighteen, or just seeing how small the freshmen keep getting. Whatever the reason, seniors begin to feel detached from the high school environment. Most of them know all the members of their class, at least by sight, and they realize that they may never see some of them again. The person sitting next to one senior in English class could be in Chicago next year, while he could be in New York. Plans for the future are no longer abstract; they are turning into reality. College-bound seniors prepare to leave Longmeadow behind; work- ing students are ready to say good-bye to their school days for- ever. When such a change is so close, it is no wonder that the senior environment is so full of tension ( When will that letter ever get here! ), excitement ( He got in! I can ' t believe it! ), and even a little sentimentality ( I ' m going to buy the last hot lunch, no matter what it is. ). It is amazing what can happen in four years. 75 Juniors Junior year is one of opportunities and responsibilities. It is new and exciting to be an upperclassman, but juniors find that they have to work for the privileges they once believed were freely given. The class as a whole must prove that it is a positive reflection of the school. Juniors can involve them- selves in any school activity or organiza- tion. Many go for the action of a varsity team, while others seek prestigious po- sitions in clubs and on class council. Academically, this is an important year, especially for col- lege-bound stu- dents. Honors and advanced placement courses are offered for accelerated stu- dents who want to gain college credit. The PSAT becomes the first step in a long process of col- lege testing. For ju- niors it is time to be- gin seriously consid- ering themselves in relation to the fu- ture. 4 _ fe! . M. Abrahams S. Bailey H Beckwlth E Black H. Boudreau E. Burns J Caron C. Adam; K. Ball D.

They began taking part in school activi- ties and were more aware of the functions of different clubs. The interests within the class varied, and sophomores were found anywhere from Key Club and Keyettes to French Club and Ski Club. Many participated in sports on both J.V. and Varsity levels. The class of ' 79 was strongly unified and had a great deal of school spirit. This was evi- dent throughout the year at such events as the Pep Rally, Homecoming and other school ac- tivities. The sophomores were an enthusiastic group, and they look forward to their junior year. % jlz : Z atfacv jJI r C1 A2 A ■A D. Abdow C. Alvall s J. Allyn E. Alston S. Anderson H. Andrews A. Arenius C.

Wilson Freshmen The freshmen stepped into school with the typical fears and anxieties that all classes exper- ience when they first enter Long- meadow High. Being a little frosh and the bottom of every- thing were feelings that soon disappeared as students began to participate in class and school functions. President Scott Zucker felt that the class was working together, and by the end of the year new friendships devel- oped, and voluntary class council had successful turnouts.

D ' Agastino 6. N. Harris 7. L. Segur 8. M. Deary How important is Gym to the school environment? According to Coach Robert D ' Agastino, Gym is an important part of the educative system in regard to the spirit, mind, and body. This is the Greek philisophical attitude toward the total education of man. People function more effi- ciently when the body is in good condition. This applies to the students of Longmeadow High School and all students in general. Athletics and sports are one asset to the school and should be thought of accordingly. Coach Dag also feels that those who question the value of competi- tion do not realize that sports play the same role for students that advanced placement courses do. They are both for those who excel and are looking for a higher degree of difficulty in their courses. 96 Lancers Fight With Pride And Determination Pep talks, skull sessions, bread and butter plays, razzle dazzle, chalk talks, and the fribble club — what do all of these add up to? Simple: Coach Deary ' s game plans and stratagy for the 1976 football season. The Lancers combined offense and defense units for an outstanding year and a reputable record. Longmeadow began the season with victories over Pittsfield, Clas- sical, and Minnechaug while they were upset by South Hadley and Northampton. Many players con- sidered Deary ' s non-defeatist at- titude to be the key to the team ' s successes. The coaching staff was excellent and determined to 1 James Blakeman bullets to Bill McClure. 2. All for one . . . and one for All. 3. Oops, sorry Bob! 4 Gregg Allison shows us the ABC ' s of ball carrying. 5. Block him. stop him, don ' t let him through! 6. Miller, get your head up! 7. Joel Castleman re- verts to Cro-magnon blocking styles. 8. They ' ll never get the ball from McClure. 98 produce a number one ball club. James Blakeman steadily im- proved as this year ' s quarter- back. He was quick to call plays in pressing situations, and he had a good arm for accurate passes. Joel Castleman, Bill McClure, and Bob Jones were capable runners and were responsible for a great deal of the team ' s scoring. Other outstanding offensive players in- cluded tight end Rob Carey, cen- ter Bob Miller, split end Greg Alli- son, guard Matt Hoffman, and tackles Keith Lemnios and Craig Kasen. The defense this season was a forceful line dominated by linebackers Alex Mandell and Ned McNally, safety Steve Wood, half- back John Tomko, centerback John Knisely, and ends Steve King, Nick Kasonatkis, and Dave Boyd. The injuries of Dave Clark, Jeff Lucier, and Matt Hoffman caused severe losses to the team. A lack of spirit from the players during some of the games was also detri- mental. As running back Bill Mc- Clure stated, If we had been 99 9 k i s m ■1 X % |P t mmmm G V ' M 1 r f ' ' a r « . ] . s . more psyched, we could have beaten any team in the league. The Lancers were a Second half football team: most of the action took place late in their games. Although the offensive line was small in size and a bit inexperienced, they managed to put many points on the score- board, as in the Amherst game. A lot of talent developed over the season, along with the players pride in their team and in the school. Next year promises to be a superior season. It is very possi- ble that Longmeadow will be un- defeatable, emerging as a true power in the league. 1. CRUNCH! 2. But .. . I was aiming for Jonesy. 3.

The girls combined as a unified and powerful squad, with out- standing players on both offense and defense. Scoring was slow at first, but as the season pro- gressed there was no stopping the Lancerettes. There was a tough struggle for the league title, but the girls ' strength and deter- mination brought them to victory. The team ' s spirit was a high point, especially in games against Min- nechaug and throughout both of the tournament games. The eight seniors on the team were led by co-captains Leslie Maglathlin and Mary Jo Quigley. The offense continually executed fine plays. Skill in passing and shooting was matched by strong running, making for a hard-driving unit. The defense was remark- able, and the players all mastered their positions. When the action was tense, goalie Kim LeDuc was ready to provide good judgment, swiftness, and agility around the cage. Coach Nancy Darsch passed her fourth season with the team and built a strong friendship with her players. She had confidence in their abilities and expected only the best from them. Next year ' s team is sure to feel the loss of the eight graduating seniors, but many of the gaps will be filled by players from this year ' s talented J.V. team. There were outstanding performances by captain Fay Trachtenberg, Kerry LeDuc, Gina Ferazzi and Bonnie Rubin. These girls, along with the rest of the squad, should carry on the success of the 1976 team. 1. Halftime means oranges! 2. Coach Darsh instructs her players. 3. Who will get the ball? 4.

Modes of thought during half-time. w ith several strong play- ers returning from last year, the soccer team had high hopes for a successful season. There were a great many talented individuals, but problems arose in utilizing this talent to form a combined unit. The Lancers had a winning sea- son, with a final record of 8-6-2, and some outstanding games with Westfield and Putnam. Com- petition was especially stiff against Chicopee, Ludlow, and West Side. The team gave its best efforts as the underdog, when the boys had to play hard to prove their capabilities. But during the easier games, they did not give everything they had. Hustle and determination were lacking at these times, and the players were somewhat inconsistent. The team could play well when they set their minds to it, but when spirit was low, the output was seriously affected. 104 1 Longmead 1 2 DW Classical Greenfield Opponent o(ff.) 1 Cathedral 1 10 1 10 2 3 Agawam W.

Tri-captains Craig Cloud, Bart Dunlevy, and Ted Snyder helped in getting the group prepared to meet the opposition. Coach Mor- rissette felt that these boys were a tremendous boost to the team ' s morale. Longmeadow was also fortu- nate in having the finest coaching staff in Western Mass. Defensive Coach Steve Kaplin and Offensive and Goalie Coach Charlie John- son aided Mr. Morrissette in find- ing the strong and weak points of the team, and in correcting any problems with the lines. Bob Kellogg and Rob Paulides, the high scorers of the season, did an excellent job in the offen- sive line. Seniors Tim Dwight, Phil Cushman, Steve O ' Conner, and Ron Gordenstein, and underclass- men Andy Janik, Peter Guterman, Mike Hurwitz, and Bob Snyder were the strength of this year ' s offense and defense.

Quite a change in attitude from last year! The girls were more aggressive and skilled as a group, with the help and ad- vice of coaches Jangle and Glynn. The informal atmosphere of a club attracted many girls who would not normally have gone out for a fall sport, making for a di- verse group of interested players. There were seven games sched- uled for the twenty-two players chosen for the all-star team, while the rest of the club partici- pated in intramurals. Outstanding senior players were Diane Cartw- right (3), Amy Glynn (4), Nancy Frankel (5), and Joma Venti. The girls ' hard work will help them reach their ultimate goal of be- coming a varsity sport. 1. Sue Connor dribbles toward a Lancer- ette score. 2. ROW 1: J. Williams. L. Cartw- right, H.

They faced tough opposition, but their efforts were rewarded by a great comeback in the Columbus Day Relays. The team consisted of many underclassmen, and promising, although key seniors will be missed. 1976 Swim Team memories: Mrs. Segur ' s utterance at the Minnechaug meet, thinking no- body would hear her . . .

A great deal of dedication is needed from each member of the team if the Lanc- ers are to perform well at meets. Practices include six to eight miles of running through town ev- ery day. An official race course is a maximum of three miles long, and usually includes some hilly areas. The Longmeadow course begins at Mill Road, continues down Longmeadow Street, and finishes back at the start. Coached by Mr. Winseck, the boys reached third place in the Valley Wheel league, led by sen- iors Art Lucey and Bill Hopfe, and juniors Steve Finch and Francis Buzzard McNally. Sophomores Andrew and Stuart Sears also lent strength to this year ' s team and will carry on the Lancers ' success for the next two years.

The 1977 Boys Basketball Team suffered the loss of some excellent graduating seniors, but those positions were quickly filled by new players of high quality. Sophomore Tyrone Settles led the team in scoring with an aver- age of twenty points per game. He also became a leading scorer of Division 1 in Western Mass. Ty- rone provided the inspiration that the Lancers needed for a winning season. At the home East Long- meadow game, Tyrone complete- ly overwhelmed the crowd as he shot the ball from half-court, and scored in the final seconds of the first half. He was often awarded with standing ovations for his re- markable performances during 113 Longmeadow 40 Classical 66 Chic.

The Lancerettes were not discour- aged, however. They continued to work and to build up their individ- ual skills. Many team members felt that the year was mainly one of development, because of sev- eral newcomers who needed ac- tual playing experience. The team gained confidence as the season progressed and came together into more of a unit. They began to cooperate and develop mutual trust. There were some disappointing moments, as when the girls lost two extremely close games in the last few minutes. Many practices were concentrated on strategy and the improvement of plays, so that the overall performance would bring forth a victorious sea- son. Senior Co-Captains Mary Jo Quigley and Sandy Strempel were two outstanding assets to the group. Some other key players were Basketball Jones McCray, Tap-dancing ' Kusiak, Big B Skelley, and S.

This year their strivings reached a climax as the Lancers combined to form a real power in Western Mass. and State competitions. Longmeadow saw its best team ever and had an outstanding re- cord. Much of the high scoring was achieved by seniors Bart Dunlevy, Jim Bradford, Harvey Stockhammer, Craig Cloud, Jim Kelly, Jim Bennett, and Chris Newton. Several juniors and un- derclassmen, including Dave Da- mon, Brook Paulides, John Wass, Mark Stover, and Everett Black, were also a part of the action, and they will certainly do well in future competition. All six events: floor, side horse, rings, parallel bars, high bar, and vaulting had many strong individ- ual participants. Coached by John Kober and Eddie Tremble, the boys worked together as a unit to create a memorable season. 1. Hey. the floor is the other way!! 2. Jim Bradford stretches to impress the judges. 3.

Longmeadow High School was fortunate to have a girls ' gymnastics team comprised of several of these outstanding in- dividuals. Senior Co-Captains Lynn and Linda Wiatrowski helped to build up the team ' s confidence, and they had every member psyched for each meet. The girls held a genuine concern for one another, which created the spirit that led to top performances. Routines of superior caliber were introduced this year, and scoring in the meets improved tremen- dously. With the help of Coach Judi Gregory, the group aimed for per- fection in performing every trick, and on each piece of equipment. Even the smallest mistakes can be costly in competition, so Miss Gregory was critical of every as- pect of the girls ' routines. Seniors Julie Whitney, Tina Mil- las, Linda and Lynn Wiatrowski, and Gail Felper are experienced gymnasts, and they reached many of their individual goals by the end of the season. The team ' s depth was filled in by Sopho- mores Paula Shear, Cindy Aivalis, and Heather Rowe, and by Junior Linda Skole. Freshmen Caren Da- vidson and Kerry LeDuc, and Sophomore Cheryl Atamian will help to close some of the gaps left by the graduating seniors. Stretch Form Perfection 120 1. Soph.

The twelve members were very close in performance, and with only one senior, captain Amy Lyon, the team has great poten- tial for continued success in the future. 1. ROW 1: E. Shammash, S. Leavitt.

Determination and effort were never lacking from Long- meadow High, as the boys were serious about every meet. Other teams in the area were extremely surprised by the Lancers ' accom- plishments.

The group was headed by Seniors Barry Katz, Rick Lockner, Jim Me- dalie, and Wally Wolf, and it was backed by a large number of am- bitious swimmers who formed three different squads. The boys swam nearly two and a half miles every day at practice, making swim team one of the most gruel- ing of L.H.S. sports. The group also made use of the new Univer- sal Gym every other day for half an hour, which helped them with conditioning. The season began with a close loss to Minnechaug, and the Lanc- ers were also slimly defeated by East Longmeadow. There were several victories as well, such as the competition against Amherst, which Coach Mickelson ran very strategically. Longmeadow was in Division B this year, which is second in diffi- culty. The boys performed re- markably well after the loss of several key seniors last year. They finished with an 11-3 re- cord, the best in the team ' s histo- ry. The sucess of the season is a tribute to the talent, drive, and endurance of the L.H.S. swim- mers. 124 -..-%- Wi Longmeadow Longmeadow Longmeadow Longmeadow Longmeadow Longmeadow Longmeadow Longmeadow Longmeadow Longmeadow Longmeadow Longmeadow Longmeadow Longmeadow Meets won.

The first shock of defeat, game- by-game changes in strategy, and controversies over refereeing and ice time are just a few of the ex- periences faced by the Lancer hockey team. Led by the exper- ienced and skillful Coach Suzor and by a strong offensive and de- fensive lineup, the team skated to an impressive 13-6-3 record. Leading the squad in scoring abili- ty were Senior Co-Captain Bill Mc- Clure, Jeff Sisitsky, Rick Dur- ocher, and Jack Dineen. Senior Co-Captain Ted Snyder, Junior forward Jon Ditmar, and Seniors Steve O ' Connor and Greg Smith helped make for a very well-es- tablished team. Mitch August was a strong goalie for the team, as he thwarted numerous shots on goal. 126 Freshmen Scott Buffum and Mark McClure are definite assets to the Lancer icemen for their forthcoming seasons, along with many sophomore and junior play- ers already working on the Varsity level. The entire squad skated successfully, checking, shooting, and blocking to optimum perfor- mance. It was their superior speed, stamina, and agility that created a winning 76- ' 77 season for Lancer hockey. 1. Jeff Sisitsky prepares for a fast break. 2. Lancers will shine tonight! 3. Varsity (L.

John Asth- alter, Paul Mathison, and Co-Cap- tain John Robbins were the mem- bers who used the wrestling sea- son to improve their skills, in preparation for the Western Mass. match. Co-Captain John Knisley was unable to compete because of an injury. The wrestlers struggled to make the weight reguirements and were known to loose fifteen pounds in three days by starving and working out. After the last big tournament, which is usually held near Boston, it is traditional for the bus to stop at every eating place on the way home. John Robbins reports that an average wrestler can gain ten pounds in the five hours following the States Tournament. 1. Longmeadow on top during a wrestling match. 2.

Any Lancer fan would have doubts about such a statement after attending any competition, male or female. The play- ers strive to improve their skills during practices, but when the contest begins, WINNING IS EVERYTHING!! Can the thrill of victory be explained as the gratifi- cation of school spirit? Yes, to some extent it can. In any team sport, there is a great sense of exhilaration in shared victory. The excitement of a player who has just scored is not only from personal glory, but also from the knowledge that he is leading his team on to success. There is more to winning than team spirit, however. An individual achievement is equally exhilarating. The player who scored the only goal in a losing game is likely to feel like a partial winner, as is someone who performed well in track or gymnastics. The idea of a team is to combine these individuals to give a unit effort, which multiplies the thrill of victory by the smiles of teammates and the cheers of the crowd. 129 Every fall morning at 7:00, the thirty girls of the Drill Team began practicing routines to the beat of a drum. They marched at home football and basketball games and worked hard to perfect each step. Advisor Mrs. Miller and Senior Captain Katie Hunt were both very enthusiastic about Drill Team and the spirit it creates. There were only three Major- ettes this year, advised by Mr. Burkle. They performed orginal routines during half-time at the football games, as well as at sev- eral basketball games. One of the Majorettes, Liz Sattler, per- formed at a hockey game, com- bining twirling with a skating rou- tine. Next year the Majorettes hope to find more girls interested in twirling, and they look forward to teaching anyone who would like to become a Majorette. 1 . Drill Team Members: L TO R - ROW 1 - D.

Every Tuesday evening this win- ter, one hundred rosy-cheeked ski club members returned from an afternoon at Mt. Tom. Both be- ginners and advanced skiers were welcomed in the group, as the aim of the club was to get more people out on the slopes. Advisors Mr. McCarthy and Mr. Grant were enthusiastic in organizing a week- end trip to Waterville Valley in New Hampshire. Plans for next year include a week ' s vacation out west, if enough money can be collected through fund-raising ac- tivities. Mr. McCarthy stated, Skiing is a great way to forget all of our frustrations. When we take off on the bus, we leave the busy world of Longmeadow High School and ski our socks off!! Girls ' Leaders Club, advised by Miss Darsch, Miss Gregory and Mrs. Segur, and Boys ' Leaders Club, advised by Mr. D ' Agostino and Mr. Williams, are organiza- tions that provide an opportunity for students interested in service and athletics to assist the phys- ical education department. The leaders help out with refereeing and spotting in gym classes. Both the girls and boys in the Leaders Club were hard workers, and their efforts were felt throughout the phys. ed. department. 1 .

Both the offhand (standing) and the prone (lying down) positions were used. Mr. Villeneuve has been the team ' s advisor for sev- eral years and has the experience needed to coach and encourage the group. Students can find challenge in mountain climbing, snowshoeing, cross-country hiking, and cycling when they join the outing club. They also gain a sense of group satisfaction, as the members of- ten work together and aide each other in various activities. Mr. Mannheim heads this adventur- ous club, and he shares the stu- dent ' s interest in the outside envi- ronment. 1 . Outing Club (L TO R.): Gretchen Havens.

It was not the an- nual E.L. football game, but the famed Daisy-Weed competition. The Weeds were led by coaches Joel Castleman and Bill McClure, while the Daisies were helped by Ned McNally and Jeff Lucier. The first half was played aggressively and the score was close. But the Daisies wilted in the second half, giving the game to the Weeds with a score of 18-6. 133 Let our artists rather be those who are gifted to discern the true nature of the beautiful and graceful; then will our youth dwell in a land of health, amid fair sights and sounds, and recieve the good in everything; and beauty, the effluence of fair works, shall flow into the eye and the ear, like a health-giving breeze from a purer region, and insensibly draw the soul from earliest years into likness and sympathy with the beauty of reason. Plato, The Republic Walk in the main entrance, take a sharp left through the double doors, and you will find yourself in an environment of painters, sculptors, potters, weavers, photographers, and jewelry makers. Creative prints and sketches decorate the hallway, and the rooms are bustling with the activity of students and machines. The artistic environment of Longmeadow High School is not confined to this hallway, however. There are several areas in the building where students and teachers engage themselves in the fine and applied arts. There are singing groups, bands, an orches- tra, all forms of basic technology, cultural clubs, and journalism. For some of our talented LHS classmates, the arts will always be a way of life. For others, they serve as a hobby. The accomplish- ments of the artists are shared with the entire school through art exhibits, publications, and performances. 134 135 1. Edith Broderick 2.

Beth Young Longmeadow High School is lucky to have an excellent vocal music department. Lyrics and I Cantori are two of the groups which contain many talented stu- dents. In an interview with Mr. Peter Thomsen (2), he stated, ' This year ' s Lyrics is one of the best we have had. The members perform at school concerts where various singers do solo performances. Within Lyrics, a group of stu- dents is chosen to make up I Can- tori. They work together on their own time, outside of school, for no extra credit. The purpose of I Cantori is to give a smaller group of students a chance to go fur- ther in music. They sing difficult pieces, including all types of chamber music. This year, both Lyrics and I Cantori were chosen to perform for the state ' s music teachers during the All-State competition. They were the only group chosen from the whole state. It was a well-deserved honor for Long- meadow students of song. 1. (L.

The new co- ed vocal music group, composed of many talented students, per- formed at several school con- certs during the year. Mr. Thorn- sen, in explaining why the Mixed Chorus was formed, stated, We switched this year because I felt it was a much more natural set-up. Girls and boys like working to- gether, so instead of discouraging those singers who didn ' t make Lyrics, it gave them a chance to work together. Mr. Thomsen felt that the chorus provided excel- lent voice training as well. The members learned about singing in a co-ed group, where the male and female voices are so differ- ent. Mr. Thomsen believed that the switch was a very positive one in which everyone would benefit. The singers added a variety of music to the programs. Like Lyr- ics, they performed difficult pieces without fault. Mr. Thorn- sen ' s hard work and dedication was certainly evident in all of their performances. 1.

Two groups which fill the halls with melodic music are the Girls ' and Men ' s Choruses. These groups consist of talented young singers who perform many fam- ous selections. The members re- hearse during school hours and receive course credit for their ef- forts. They are required to com- mit all of their music to memory. Mr. Thomsen, the choral director, feels that the choruses are excel- lent training for prospective members of Lyrics and Mixed Chorus. In each group, the vocal- ists practice harmonizing their music and singing in varying tones. They do vigorous vocal ex- ercises to advance their skill in sight-reading, and to help them develop better intonation. These choruses performed at many school concerts during the year. The singers enjoyed their training and look forward to par- ticipating in more advanced cho- ral groups next year. Mr. Thom- sen is extremely proud of all his young vocalists, and he hopes they will continue with their music schooling.

The beautiful sounds of violins and cellos are frequently heard in the halls of Longmeadow High as the school orchestra practices. The group plays all types of clas- sical and romantic music, and they perform at school concerts. Under the direction of Wilfred Burkle (3) and Concert Mistress Joan Hurley, the group performs in the spring and every other year in an exchange concert. These concerts are held in various Mas- sachusetts towns. Many of the students who play in the orches- tra are also members of the Young People ' s Symphony of Springfield. The High School ' s wind ensem- ble, also directed by Mr. Burkle, is a concert band selected on the basis of auditions each spring. They play in the fall and at the Pops Concert. At the fall concert this November, the wind ensem- ble was honored to have Rolf Smedvig (2), the assistant princi- pal trumpet of the Boston Sym- phony and the Boston Pops, as a guest artist. Mr. Smedvig played his trumpet masterfully before a mesmerized audience. 1. (L. TO R.)

On Saturday afternoons, Curt Freedman and Art Sibbach could sometimes be seen in the empty stands playing Go, Fight, Win on the bass drum and trumpet. At football games, rain or shine, the musical support was always there. The band brought spirit to the basket- ball court as well and performed at school concerts. A different kind of sound is sometimes heard after school or at seven o ' clock in the morning, as the Jesters prepare for their concerts. This unique group con- sists mainly of brass instruments, with some percussion. They are a stage band selected on the basis of auditions and are led by Mr. Burkle. The Jesters play all types of commercial music and perform at many festivals and competi- tions. (1.) Before the homecoming parade. Band Member Jim Medalie thinks.

Combining vocal and instrumental groups, they played to large, receptive audiences. The Chamber Music Concert spot- lighted several small chamber ensem- bles, including I Cantori, a string quar- tet, and a horn quartet. These and oth- er talented groups helped to recreate the grand flavor of the seventeenth century, for a delightful evening. The Pops Concert had a completely different flavor: that of diversification. There was something for everyone who attended: a hilarious Muppet show, Lyrics swinging, Sandy Walker singing, Cheryl McCray dancing, and the Symphonic Band prancing, all topped off with smoke and balloons. The highlight performance of the evening was by Jesters, LHS ' fan- tastic jazz band. Their dynamic presentation drew well-deserved, thunderous applause. 1. The Jesters come alive! 2.

Youth For Understanding For the first time at Lorvgmeadow High School, two foreign students spent their senior year here through the Youth for Understanding organization. The year was very rewarding for Stefan Schuster (1) of Ger- many and Byron Papazissis (2) of Greece. The boys made many friends in Longmeadow and will not be forgotten by the class of ' 77. Stefan is from Herborn, Germany, a town near Frankfurt. In Longmeadow, he kept active with sports and attended open parties, dances, and basketball and football games. He will go back to Herborn after this year for his thirteenth year of school, taking with him many assorted memories of his American visit. One incident early in the trip which will not be quickly forgotten happened at a local shopping plaza. Stefan was rolling a cigarette, which is a common practice in Germany because of the high costs of packaged ciga- rettes. An abrupt reaction by some nearby policemen left Stefan quite bewildered. By the end of the year, however, he acquired the savvy that is needed as an American teenager! Byron comes from Saloniki, Greece, a city close to the sea. His father started the Youth for Understanding program in Greece in 1970, and he remains the head of the organization there. Byron has been to the States once before, and he plans to go to college here. He has applied to several schools in the New England area. Byron enjoys being able to choose his courses at LHS, which is not done in Greece. He is interested in soccer and basketball and plays a lot of water sports during the summer. In the small Greek village where Byron spends his summers, he enjoys movies and discos at night and meets quite a few tourists. Both boys participated in AFS weekends, and they visited several American cities with the group. They were honorary members of NHS, which is a clear reflection of the high esteem in which the boys were held by the school. The Grassy Gutter Players, under the direction of Mel Grant, presented One Flew Over the Cuckoo ' s Nest, a serio-comic comment on individualism and the oppressant forces working to eliminate it. The play, written by Dale Was- serman, is based on Ken Kesey ' s novel about events in a state mental institution. Mr. Grant ' s direction was infallible, and he had an excellent cast. Junior David Brinnel was impressive as Randle Patrick McMurphy, the man who always defies the rules-any where he goes. McMurphy ' s rebellious spirit is ulti- mately conquered by his foil, Nurse Ratched, effectively played by Marji Grant. Among those under the nurse ' s tyran- nical hold are Chris Gironda as the effeminate ward president, Harding, and Mark Cohen as Billy Bibbit, the intimidated, stuttering youth. Also featured were Dave Lewin, Neal Rad- ding, Dennis McCauley, and Eugene Kane as the monstrous Chief Bromden who regains his self-pride through McMurphy. Rounding out the cast were Faith Prybylo, Philip O ' Reilly, Rick Rubin, Stephan Rutherford, Laura Lawson, and Sandy Hower. Together, the cast proved that exciting and professional entertainment exists at LHS. I 1. A lonely inmate of the state mental hospital smokes his ci- gar. 2.

Homecoming ' 77 The World As We See It The second annual Homecoming weekend was sponsored by the senior class. The theme was, The World As We See It, and each class developed a presentation depicting this phrase. A parade was held before the East Longmeadow football game, which lasted an hour. It was led by the cheerleaders and the band, followed by the floats, drill team, majorettes, and other interested participants. Seniors from last year were sent personal invitations to take part in all homecoming activities. A contest of spirit chain links was held prior to the weekend. Each class purchased links at the cost of one cent each. The senior class won this event and split the total amount of link money with the freshman class, who had the best float in the parade. The weekend was extremely successful, in that it raised money and gathered spirit and enthusiasm from the school and town. MM. GM.ID t a i2 , Wild mare, no one will ever train her.

OUTLET Outlet is the annual literary maga- zine that is published in the spring by Longmeadow High School students. Any individual is eligible to submit work, which is judged anonymously. The magazine is funded by the school committee, who recognize Outlet as a worthy organization. Other activities of the club this year included a field trip to a publishing house in February, where members were able to see the printing of a liter- ary magazine prior to the publication of their own issue. Mrs. Satta, the club advisor, was responsible for all of the written work submitted. Mrs. Broder- ick handled the artistic material. Edi- tor Kim Bolger stated, Outlet offers students the chance to be more cre- ative, because there is no basic struc- ture that must be followed. It allows people to see their own writing, artwork, or photography published, and to receive objective views on their degree of creativity. 1.

Meetings were held each month in order to plan French din- ners, coordinate field trips, and dis- cuss French culture. President Mark Villeneuve stated that the purpose of the club was to further students ' in- sights into France, its culture, and its people. LATIN CLUB was a small but active group. Their activities ranged from composing a newspaper to organizing correspondence with other clubs from the surrounding areas. Mr. Kahan and Mr. Dudley were this year ' s advisors. They stressed all aspects of Latin, in- cluding both language and culture. 1. French Club Advisor Monsieur Potvin. 2. The French Club members are B. Caron, M. Lamarre, T. Howard, M. Villen- euve, D.

The group organized a day in March when several speakers came to Longmeadow High. They brought up the impor- tance of rousing more public interest in the problems of the aged, in order to solve existing conflicts. The club also visited the United Nations, and they had the opportunity to meet with specialists in the field of the aged community. The eight members of the World Affairs Club were very satis- fied with the results of their work. They felt that their chosen area of concentration was one that always calls for special attention. The club ' s goal this year was to see that aged people received more help and consider- ation. Involvment such as theirs is what leads to the realization of this goal. A new group was orginated at Longmeadow High this year, as Mr. Mc- Kenna began an International Club. Membership was open to any student interested in learning about foreign cultures. Speakers made regular ap- pearances, including Joyce Villeneuve on France, and friends of Mr. Mc- Kenna on Czechoslovakia. Mr. McKenna hopes participation in the club will increase next year, and that international foods and cooking will be emphasized. Trips to New York City, Montreal, and even abroad are being considered, as well as some type of exchange program for the future. 1.

The American Field Service is an organization which concen- trates on the development of friendships within the country and internationally. Each year, two students come to Longmeadow High School from different nations. One of A.F.S. ' s responsibil- ities is to welcome these students and to lend assistance. This year ' s A.F.S. students were Sabine Demolder from Bel- gium, and Wanpen Joom Jantim from Thailand. The girls gained a great deal from their experiences here and are thankful for the many services that A.F.S. provided. Activities of the club included two weekends when foreign stu- dents in the area were invited to Longmeadow, selling cards, the A.F.S. fair, and the international dinner. Mr. Potvin has been the advisor of the club for several years. He is interested in breaking down the barriers people think exist between countries, and he emphasizes the points that all nations have in common. The club works for communication on a personal and humane level. The A.F.S. motto, shake the world, start with my hand definitely applies to this club. ! or ' % i 1.

It is the room where scrawled blackboard mes- sages, frantic screaming during homeroom period, and Thursday afternoon editors meetings culminat- ed in this yearbook. The book is the product of hard- searched ideas, brainstorms, combined talents, deal- ings with hundreds of people, and hours of work in and out of school. The environment within the yearbook room tends to go through phases. Just after a deadline has been met, one feels the sensation of working on a great literary and artistic classic-to-be.

The overall qual- ity of the writing, illustrations, and layouts have noticeably improved over previous years. This is a re- sult of the close-knit feeling among the staff. Many close friendships were formed between the members that made working toward each deadline enjoyable, instead of a chore. The driving force behind the Jet Jotter is undisputably the manag- ing editor, Laura Kenney. She takes the responsibility of over- seeing every aspect of each issue, guided by the advisors, Mr. Ge- linas and Mr. Delano. Like most nonprofit organiza- tions, the Jet Jotter was plagued by financial troubles. Nonethe- less, they managed to publish a newspaper worthy of praise and recognition. The group entered into competition for an Ail-Ameri- can rating this year, as a climax to their accomplishments. 1. Managing Editor Laura Kenney 2. The Jet Jot- ter staff 3. The six editors 4.

The service environment is centered in the main office, where the administrators and secretaries perform the leading school functions. The guidance department, filled with many dedicated workers, is the priceless friend of every befuddled adolescent and college applicant. The librarians, cooks, nurse, and maintenance staff are also parts of the unique environment of service. Among the student body are a great number of individuals involved in serving their class, the school, and also the outside community. Key Club and Keyettes are the largest, most widely acknowledged service clubs at LHS. The four class councils work equally hard, led by elected officers. Many student priveleges and comforts that are taken for granted are actually the result of hours of committee work. In a school as large as LHS, there is bound to be a wide variety of interests among the students. Therefore, the great number of individuals involved in service, and the high quality of their work, is a positive reflection on the entire school. 158 159 Mr.Teixeira spent the first half of this year as a full-time student at the University of Massachusetts. He was en- rolled in a program entitled, Future Studies: Education for a Changing World, and he worked toward a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study. Mr. Teixeira carried a heavy student load, earning fifteen credits in areas from school reform to evaluations of the curriculum. He enjoyed the role of a student as well as the campus life, and his regard for U-Mass has increased greatly. On returning to Long- meadow High School, Mr. Teixeira found it easier to em- pathize with the students, since he had been reacquaint- ed with such frustrations as not getting course choices, and seeing lots of red tape. The work was demanding but very rewarding, and he hopes to continue with the program during the summer. The program is aimed at re- sults in several areas. There is a need to develop programs for curriculum evaluations, where it would be possible to look at teaching methods, and to make necessary changes once the goals are set. Instructional techniques should be expanded to create wider variety in classes. The program emphasizes the re- quirements of the outside world. Mr. Teixeira was involved in a great deal of study and re- search which helped him re- late to the program itself. He feels that his work was ex- tremely beneficial to him as an administrator of the high school, and as an individual of the world community. 1. Dr. Ferris 2. Mr. Teixeira 3. Mr. Craver4.

While the number of students who plan on going to college has not changed, there is a defi- nite increase in the number of career oriented individ- uals. Courses such as Family Life and Consumer Educa- tion have given students di- rection in their possible fields of endeavor. Many seniors also consider the ad- vantages of early admissions to college. The Co-op pro- gram has successfully con- tinued, providing an oppor- tunity for certain individuals to complete their require- ments for graduation while obtaining beneficial work ex- perience. Guidance is a hard-work- ing department that concen- trates solely on the needs of the students. The counsel- ors are often overloaded with schedule changes and college applications, but or- ganization keeps them pre- pared to meet any chal- lenge. Dedication and pa- tience are the two keys that the guidance counselors fol- low in giving personal atten- tion to individuals, which is their main goal and purpose in the school. 1. D. Kane 2. J.

They must be able to type, file, take shorthand, and operate a xerox machine. More than just business skills are re- quired, however. The secre- taries must project the school ' s image to all outsid- ers, and deal with the many situations that arise. They are the source of communi- cation between the school and the rest of the commu- nity. Paperwork, including student and teacher hand- books, memos to parents, and the daily bulletin, is an- other responsibility. They must also take phone calls, sort mail, use the P. A., ar- range for substitute teach- ers, and handle thousands of dollars from various clubs. Many students and teach- ers tend to overlook the contribution of our thirteen office secretaries. Their work, however, is vital to the school and requires a wide range of skills. Their services are deserving of praise and recognition from the school. Jp,f V Cafeteria Workers: TOP LEFT: R.

Low Library Aids In order to keep things running smoothly, the li- brary aids, with the help of Miss Baird, performed extra functions in the library. Their main jobs included stamping books during each block and stacking the shelves when necessary. The library aids this year were Kathy Bur- gess, Janet Kennedy, Sue McCarthy, Linda Fountain, Ted Stevens, Lynn Aronson, Claire Coughlan, Joyce Vil- leneuve, Lisa Lefebvre, Jack- ie Keery, Nafie Saba, David Sacerdote, Fred Petrucci, Sara Winniman and Debbie Lefebvre. Guidance Aids The guidance department, one of the most vital areas in the school for students, was also one of busiest. Without the help of Dawn Connors, Annalyza Cruz, Vir- ginia Paquette, Ellen Silver- man, Debbie Little, Lynn O ' Connell, Doris Robinson, Nafie Saba, Tracy Smith, Pe- ter Levine, Margie Epstein, Clare Coughlan, Kathy Schiaffino, Pam Vatrano, Todd Davis, Steve Havens and Dana Hargan, the coun- selors would have been swamped with schedule changes, college applica- tions, and newsletters. The aids worked hard to main- tain an organized and steady system. Their contribution was a greatly appreciated asset to the school. Office Aids Each school morning dur- ing homeroom, notices were read by one of the office aids. They announced im- portant or sudden bulletins, meeting arrangements, and upcoming events. Each aid spent a great deal of time in the office, running errands for the secretaries and an- swering questions for stu- dents and faculty. Supply Aids Mr. Fil ' s responsibilities in the supply room were made easier by Joe Maruca, Jon Fein, David Mackler, and Da- vid Auerswald, the supply aids. They helped distribute necessary equipment to the classrooms and made sure that the shelves were always stocked with the materials. A.V. Aids The A.V. aids this year were John Loughman, Mark Rosol, Joel Pelletier, Dan Aronson and Matt Barez. These boys with good me- chanical minds kept all elec- tronic equipment in excel- lent working condition. They were in charge of all aspects of A.V. supplies, including distribution. T.V. Aids Thanks to the work of the T.V. aids, Longmeadow High School was again able to take advantage of L.H.S. T.V. 2. Neil Orenstein, Dave Burkhart, Jim Hoyt, Steve Petlock, Alex Savich, Thom- as Gould, Richard Hough, and David Fein prepared several film presentations for the football team, and for other groups and classes. In their own T.V. studio, the boys learned to handle the equipment essential to oper- ation. 1. T.V. Aids 2. supply aid Joe Maruca 3. Supply aids with Mr. Fil 4. A.V. aids. Dr. William Ferris, whom many of us have known as an English teacher, spent the first half of this year as vice principal during Mr. Teixeira ' s sabbati- cal leave. He found the shift in environ- ment from classroom to office striking and challenging. As an administrator, Dr. Ferris met scores of students from every part of the school, although he did not see as much of them as a teacher sees of his class. He worked closely with the front office secretaries and administrators and saw less of his friends among the faculty. Taking his new position on August 2, 1976, Dr. Ferris faced the task of ad- justing the office to suit himself. The placement of his desk and the chairs in the room could alter the atmosphere of the office. During a meeting, the position of the door in particular could dictate the environment. Dr. Ferris preferred an open door to make himself accessible, but a closed door in certain cases could create a serious, confidential atmo- sphere. A good administrator must have talent for negotiation. Dr. Ferris held four or five meetings a day and gave several talks to parent and community groups. He adjusted well to his new position, as he was able to remain relaxed and deal objectively with the problems of students and teachers. One drawback, however, was a great loss of his free time. There were no more after-school basketball games, and Dr. Ferris had little time for reading outside of his field. After ten years of teaching at Longmeadow High School, Dr. Ferris is well acquainted with his subject and has a polished teaching tech- nique. However, the new position came at a time when he was restless for some change. As vice principal, he missed reading original stories by students, but not correcting fifty essays on Macbeth. In the future, he may pursue the administrative route on the secondary level, or possibly leave to teach English or communication courses on a college level. The two positi ons that Dr. Ferris has held at LHS have different potentialities. A teacher can directly help a student both academically and emotionally; an administrator can also help emotionally, but he can only make it easier for others to help him academically. The advantage of being vice principal, however, was that it gave him the power to make exceptions. An average student might be more affect- ed by his teachers, but the exceptional one needs the attention of someone who can twist the rules. As vice principal, Dr. Ferris enjoyed being able to make things happen. Teachers very often have ideas for change, but they must wait for others to put them into effect. Dr. Ferris had the opportunity to personally see his ideas through to reality. He made a mark in the way students spend six to eight hours of their day, rather than just one. For his contributions to our high school careers as both a teacher and an administrator, we, of Longmeadow High School, wish Dr. Ferris the very best of luck in all his future endeavors. 166 senior class council Senior class council be- gan as an unusually large group, attracting close to one hundred students who were eager to present their ideas, launch new projects, and work on the Responsi- bility Program for open door priveleges. President Steven Zeller ran strict meetings according to par- liamentary procedure. The main goal of the year was to raise three thousand dol- lars. Communication was emphasized and achieved by a special public relations group. A series of newsletters were sent home to each sen- ior, telling of important de- velopments and upcoming events. These new ideas were very helpful in unify- ing the class before gradu- ation. Treasurer: Amy Lyon C|ass Advjsors: Mr. Pike Mrs. Blakeborough 167 Class Council Freshman Class Council concerned itself with two main goals this year: making money and uniting the class. Led by President Scott Zucker, they fulfilled their first objective through dances and other fun- draisers. They also had spirit projects, such as the home- coming, which helped bring the class together. Sophomore Class Coun- cil, according to President Merry Chase, intended to have activities to raise mon- ey and bring our class to- gether. They planned a ten- nis tournament, a Halloween Movie Night, a crafts fair, and a Support Your Col- ors dance. A voluntary council system was put into effect in an effort to attract a wider variety of people, and to receive new ideas and opinions from the class. We have a lot going for us, was a summation of the sopho- more class by an enthusias- tic member. We are on our way to reaching the goals we have set for our senior year. Junior Class Council was an enthusiastic group that enjoyed working together for the class and school. This year ' s emphasis was on settling the controversial open door question. Supple- mentary to this were pro- jects to increase the trea- sury such as dances, an auc- tion, a raffle, and a volleyball tournament. The class ex- panded its services to in- clude work involving local hospitals, making their pres- ence felt not only within the school but in the communi- ty- President Bunny Zacarian said, During this year, our class really showed dedica- tion. The number of people who actively participated in class council was very im- pressive. 1. Freshman Class Council: ROW 1: J. Leavitt, S. Bonasoni, L. Poppo, S. Gellerman. ROW 2: B. Doherty, E.

Key- ettes The environment of the 1976-1977 Keyette Organi- zation was one of warmth, friendship, and spirit. There was smooth communication between advisor Mrs. Rah- konen and the board, so that every member felt closely in touch with the entire club. The girls ' enthusiasm led to a maximum output of work- ing hours and finished pro- jects. Lynn Vincunas, President of the Keyettes, had a fine sense of leadership, and she guided the club in their ef- fort to help other people. Lynn conducted serious meetings to take care of old and new business, but she always left time for cheers and a bit of fun and excite- ment. This relaxed attitude proved beneficial to the group. Vice President Mary Jo Quigley, Secretary He- laine Trachtenberg, and Treasurer Janet Park were the other industrious offi- cers whose efforts were felt in every facet of the organi- zation. The Cancer Fund was the first priority project, to which profits from many Keyette activities were di- rected. Projects included Dial An Apple, Rent-A- Keyette, along with several dances. The Keyettes also hoped to start a Hall of Fame for the school in which outstanding records could be permanently placed, and a Springfield branch of the Kiwanis group for women, a national sponsor of the club. Helaine Trachtenberg stated that the goals of the club were to become bet- ter acquainted with our community, help others in any possible way, and to unite the school. 1.

Key Club Challenge Indifference, the theme of Key Club this year, was a phrase each member believed in through every project and function. The environment was made up of hard-working people and long hours, yet there was an easy-going atmo- sphere, and spirits were al- ways high. Success came from working among friends and caring for others. The club began projects during the summer, and by the opening of school they were way ahead of last year ' s record. Each member had a minimum obligation of fifteen working hours, for a total of five projects per month. Included in the list of activities were football pro- grams, the Blood Bank, a hayride, projects for Shriner ' s Hospital, a car wash, and health seminars for the school. Advisor Roger LeBlanc was the backbone of the or- ganization. He gained the re- spect of the club officers (President Ronald Gorden- stein, First Vice-President Jeff Burnett, Second Vice- President Mike Sullivan, Treasurer Peter Sweitzer, and Secretary Craig Cloud) and members, as well as that of the school and ad- ministration. He offered the Key Club a balance of guid- ance and independence. Rosy ' s morning no- tices, homeroom practices, court sessions, violation committees, and the spirit chants made for some of the lighter, funnier moments ? • k The education gained at school may take a person where he wants to go, but as he thinks back on his school days, his friends and free time will form many of the fondest memories. Longmeadow High School is made up of fifteen hundred individuals, all of whom have lives of their own outside the classroom. When school-run aca- demics, athletics, arts, and service can be left behind, each student enters the environment of the self where he follows his personal interests. During the school day, there is time for the self on the grounds of Longmeadow High School. No demands are made on a student during lunch, and no one will stop a girl or a boy from stepping out to the courtyard during free time to get away from it all. Students are not robots, and while some have more capacity than others for a scholarly environment, none can go through an entire day with no release of personality. Homelife is another part of the self environment. If a student is not doing homework, then he is apart from school both physically and psychologically. From there, he may have his own musical, athletic, or community activities; or he may prefer to relax with friends and go out as often as possible. The environment is either un- structured or self-structured, compared to the imposed structure of classrooms and school activities. Some people need guidance and regulation to bring them up to full potential; others need freedom to ex- plore their own talents. The self environment is not only needed for relaxation. It can also be conducive to cre- ative and dedicated work. - Within the high school grounds, there are certain spots where the self environment takes over during the school day. The cafeteria at lunchtime is an example of an unstructured envi- ronment. For half an hour every day, students have the freedom to leave schoolwork behind and just chat and munch with their friends. When they can be reached, the courtyard, girls ' and boys ' rooms, and student parking lot provide similar releases to the world of choice. Home at last! Mom and Baby Brother may not be the centers of social life, but the home environment is the most influencial in the shaping of our attitudes and personalities. Coming home after school can be a great relief after a busy day. Even with homework ahead for the evening, there is something relaxing about the familiar surroundings of home and family. All pretenses and dis guises can be dropped, and the true self takes over. A typical afternoon or evening with the family is sure to include a family meal, some household chores, and leisure time for the telephone, the television, a good magazine, or just hanging around with the folks. HOBBIES I voull i 178 Even the many opportunities available at the high school are not enough to fill the lives of most students. Some people ' s hobbies are a continuation of what they do in school: artwork, sports, dra- ma, music, or applied arts. In many cases, an individual ' s inter- ests widely vary from anything of- fered at the school. There are stu- dents involved in figure skating, karate, squash, CB radios, hiking, and the keeping of exotic pets. In their spare time, LHS students surround themselves with the en- vironments of their choice, and in some cases these may be the fields that will develope into life- long careers. Work, Work, Work! For some students, the end of a school day means sports, clubs, homework, or pure freedom. For a large group of people, however, it means that it is time for work. The waiters and waitresses move from the school environment to the bustle of a restaurant. Anyone stopping into Friendly ' s or Ab- dow ' s is sure to spot a few of their fellow LHS students, busily earn- ing some extra cash. Other stu- dents are salespeople, do volun- teer work at hospitals or nursing homes, work with children, or are already specializing in their cho- sen field. SATURDAY NIGHT Where were you on Saturday night? Spending a ca- sual evening at a friend ' s house? Out with your favorite girl or guy? Dropping in on one of the school dances? Stuck at home with a term paper? Or did you join in on one of the most popular and frequent events for Long- meadow High School students: the party!

It is the job of the yearbook editors to represent the entire school body-with no exceptions. Where any club or activity is not represented in this book, it is either because they did not wish to be, or because they would not take the time to be photographed. Our yearbook is the product of widespread effort and varying talents, all working toward a single goal. The Masacksic editors and the entire staff sacrificed school hours and weekends toward this project. We hope our efforts have added to the memories you will carry with you of Longmeadow High School. Our special thanks go to: Mel Grant, our yearbook advisor Don Lendry, our American Yearbook representative Brooks Johnson, our professional photographer Our student photographers: Chris Sheffield, Ken Gruskin, Lori Deliso, Neil Radding. Lee Webber, and Steve Warshaw . 1 •
