THE LUDLOW LION ) NY ( rd “4 y Z Vid T 4 4 AN CLASS OF 1960 R. Gorciminski = 5 ee owe MR. PETER BOITA Much has happened to us—a grind of classes and a crowded schedule of meetings, rehearsals, cam- paigns, elections, and ball games. Through all these momentous events, one name stands out above all others as the beacon in the darkness—one PETER BOITA. Words just cannot express how much it has meant to us to be able to work with such a wonderful person as Mr. Boita. The Ludlow Lion cannot include all our memories—especially the anecdotes with which he has inundated us!—but we do want to preserve for posterity the hope that we may reason out our lives as well as he has taught us to reason out our “math”; that is, that we may know how to “hold the phone!” Although his illness prevented his being with us for the first four months of senior “math,” his interest in us continued and grew constantly. We appreciate his interest even more now that he has returned and gives so unselfishly of his time and effort in our behalf. What we have gained in- tellectually we can never lose, nor can we purchase it; its value is intrinsic. To Mr. Boita goes much of the credit for the broadening of our educational horizon. Therefore, to Mr. Boita, who has contributed so very greatly to our fund of knowledge, to our memories of yesterday, and to our dreams of tomorrow, we the senior class of the Ludlow High School, proudly dedicate the 1960 edition of THE LUDLOW LION! 3 || Sen Ge) ee eo ee Z Z z Ph, Page Tittle: “pene sc ee 1 Dedication 2.2 ee a Table of Contents. - 22. 4 United We Stand ....-2 By Faculty and Administration ._....___.__.____ ee 6 menions Clase se cee stn nceeoeeetgie ce nate 12 Alii Ves © pec hh neste a cee nes 45 Extracurricular Activities —.........._____..___-. 58 i) 1: NM MS 90 Succeeding Legions o.nccocccc enceecss ours ne aenteceesene=n 82 (Classes—1961, 1962, 1963} Sponsors; Patrons; Friends 2.022 104. Welcome, Chapin Street ...___._.___.._ 109 4 M.H. ze. Time was unto Mercury and seemed to pass with the speed of light. Knowledge surged through our minds and claimed our existence. Our thirst for experience and ma- turity led to the realization that success as a class is achieved only through unification. For us, Zeus decreed our objective in his inscription in the clouds encircling Mount Olympus—“United We Stand!” Engulfed by a pervasive warmth are we as we contemplate the fulfillment of our goal | and the memories of the last four years. (ate WA Through unstinting ef- forts, we shall yield a har- vest beneficial to us and our posterity, a harvest of peace and security through democracy—t hat harvest achieved by the implemen- tation of our basic tenet: The Class of 1960, United We Stand! AMID FACULTY ADMIN LS 1 IRANI LE (QS! (EE Ec c ro Se E SUPERINTENDENT A % 2 DR. HENRY F. TRAINOR. Superintendent of Schools TO THE CLASS OF 1960: A yearbook is a storehouse of memories. Twenty years from now—when the Class of 1960 rereads these pages—time, distance, age, and position will be swept away by the return of memories of youth. This class will have good things to remember. All too briefly have I known all of you of the class of 1960. What I have seen in your classroom performance, in your fine extracurricular presentations and your wonderful record in the field of sports convinces me that you people have profited greatly from your high school education. On behalf of all those connected with the Ludlow Public Schools, I wish you “Godspeed!” and all the best in the years ahead. HENRY F. TRAINOR, Superintendent Ludlow Public Schools ADMINISTRATION GEORGE E. RUSSELL, Principal TO THE CLASS OF 1960: As principal of the high school I have been associated with the members of this class during four years of double sessions in which we have had many problems to meet and conquer. I have been proud of your scholastic, athletic and extracurricular achievements despite the difficulties encoun- tered and appreciate your willingness to accept the responsibilities of your status as students in the high school under somewhat adverse conditions. Just as you have adjusted yourselves to the conditions of your schooling so do you leave now with as much information and knowledge as your industry has produced. Your records have now been completed as far as your active high school career is concerned and your yearbook may well serve as a fitting testimonial to that career. To those who have achieved distinction may I remind you that success and fame are only transi- tory and that you must continue to aim high and work industriously so that your achievements may be greater ones. To those whose high school careers have not been so successful may I advise you that the future is one which you may shape by diligent application so that your life careers may be more successful. To all of you, I extend congratulations for your part in making this Class of 1960 a memorable one and extend to each of you my sincere wishes for health, success and happiness in the years to come. A special tribute is offered to the members of the yearbook staff whose application has resulted in this splendid document—The Yearbook of the Class of 1960. GEORGE E.

With hard work and cooperation, this class has brought to Ludlow High School and to its members lasting recognition, a fact which, in itself, goes to prove that this year and in previous years, the class chose well its class officers, homeroom representatives, and chairmen and members of the various committees; all of these people contributed to the achievement of the class and the fame of the school. The senior year is a year in which every member of the class sights a goal so that plans and efforts can be started toward the eventual achievement of that goal. The skillful cooperation of sev- eral teachers guided us in this planning of our future. To the four class advisors and other mem- bers of the faculty we express sincere appreciation for their guidance and assistance in the pro- duction of our class projects—the Booster Day Dance, SPALY, The Ludlow Lion, Class Day, and our Class Banquet. The secretarial and custodial staffs are deserving, too, of our gratitude for their patient tolerance of our adolescently zealous interruptions of their routine as we ply them with “useless” questions! Finally, we convey our most earnest thanks to Mr. Russell, our principal, for his able organization, management, and supervision of our school and its activities; without his steady hand at the helm, our class ship would never have made port! In conclusion, I wish every member of the class the best of luck in the years to come; I repeat that I am, indeed, proud, honored, and grateful to be your permanent class president. I hope and expect to see all of you at our first class reunion in 1965 and at every subsequent reunion. Sincerely William J. Kolodziey Jr. WILLIAM KOLODZIEJ, JR.

We have learned from history that to be united is to be strong. We, the class of 1960, have united our efforts to do our best for our state, which is located in the country of Ludlow High. Our first united effort as a state was to elect governing officers. As our Governor we elected Chris- tine Saracino, while the Lieutenant-Governor was James Duquette. Secretary of State was Barbara Romanko, and Barbara Budnick was State T reasurer. The rep- resentatives from the various districts of our state were Sandra Drost, Robert Gosciminski, Michael Hnatiw, Sandra Nietupski, and Ann Tkachuk. Drawing our state together that first year was the first major activity, a class banquet with the theme “Candy-Land Carnival.” We rounded out that year with a class picnic at Forest Park. Our second year produced a slight change in leadership. Irene Szlosek was elected Governor, re-elected Lieutenant-Governor was James Duquette. Dulce Chaves became Secretary of State, and Barbara Budnick served a second term as State Treasurer. Chosen to represent their districts in the Council were Arminda Augusto, Betty Esteves, Jaqueline LaBier, Sandra Nietupski, and Christine Saracino. Under their united efforts we held a highly successful class banquet, the so-called “Turkey Trot,” which was followed in due course of time by an equally successful picnic. At last, we began our Junior Year! United, we had not only survived but pros- pered through our first two years. Now, we were prepared to be equally successful during our last two years. We began the year with the election of officers: Charles Milroy, Governor; Dulce Chaves, Lieutenant-Governor; Michael Hnatiw, State Treas- urer; and Barbara Romanko, Secretary of State. Susan Bochnia, Nancy Fidalgo, Patricia Karr, Sandra Nietupski, and Francis Tokarz became our district repre- sentatives. The October Junior Dance was a tremendous success. Then, before we could catch our breaths, we were in the midst of planning the Junior Promenade. After months of preparation, the great evening arrived, and we spent four wonderful hours in “Dreamer’s Paradise”! Many of us must have had somber memories the next week, for we had to realize that we had flown through three years and had only one more to enjoy. Finally came that long-awaited Senior year! We are more mature this year, and so, we studied the characters of the people we were to elect, for they will be our permanent—our lifelong—officers. We have selected William Kolodziey, Governor; Christine Saracino, Lieutenant-Governor; Barbara Romanko, Secretary of State; Mary Lou Avezzie, State Treasurer. As Representatives to the Governor’s Council are Susan Bochnia, Gail Feicha, Sandra Nietupski, and William Strempek. Then, several of us have volunteered for staff work on our Senior yearbook, The Ludlow Lion; editors of this publication are Barbara J. Romanko, Editor-in-Chief; Patricia G. Carville, Assistant Editor; Barbara A. Budnick, Art Editor; Charles Jack, Busi- ness Manager; and Arminda Augusto, Chief Typist. The first activity of our senior year was the Booster Day Dance; we enjoyed it only as seniors, who know they are doing things for the last time, can enjoy such a function. After a short respite, we began preparations for our Senior Show. We shall never forget the anxiety and gaiety that rehearsal days brought. SPALY, the Society for the preservation and Acceleration of Leap Year, we called our produc- tion, and it, too, was a huge success. Now, as we endeavor to complete our yearbook by the publication deadline, we anticipate the Junior Promenade, Class Day, the Class Banquet, and Graduation. In conclusion this historian recalls both the joy and the sorrow we have experi- enced these last four years; we see that what we have accomplished has been achieved only because we have stayed united through trouble and united in joy. It is, there- fore, right and proper that our motto be “The Class of 1960—United We Stand!” 46 CLASS POEM The ivy walls we’re leaving, Have brought so many joys, The wondrous thrill of meeting, So many girls and boys. The years we can’t recapture Nor crazy things we’ve done, Nor sounds of boist’rous laughter, Nor trophies that we’ve won. The multitudinous mem’ries That dance before our eyes Have all slipped by so quickly, It’s hard to realize. The strain of first assemblies, Which only freshmen know, Is replaced by mounting confidence, That passage of years must show. Athletic games we’ve attended, Cheering til voices were strained, The realization of a victory, The joy of seeing teams reign. Report cards, too, we greeted Sans dread or even tears! In fact, we garnered glory As progress crowned our years. So, plant we our sprig of ivy, Which is just a meager sign Of the mark the Class of ’60 Has really left behind! 47 CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of the Ludlow High School, illustrious and famous to the ends of the earth and the corners of the universe for our unpredictable nothingness, and fearing that our minds are a little unstable—far be it from us to know!—do hereby certify, swear, and sign in the blood gushing from our labors over homework, this document—our last Will and Testament. Collectively, we, the mental giants of 1960, bequeath to the ADMINISTRATION and the FACULTY the vain but undying hope of instructing brilliant, studious, capable, confident geniuses like us—the Class of 1960. We, the Einsteins of the Ludlow High School, bequeath to the JUNIORS the ability to mix crazy concoctions and derive fragrant perfume to enhance the scent in the corridors of Ludlow High. We, the DaVinci’s of Ludlow High, leave to the SOPHOMORES, the most modern, sophisticated, magnificent, and unusual art adorning the walls of the cluttered classrooms—our Mona Lisa’s—George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. We, the would-be Hamlets and Portias of the Ludlow High School, bequeath to the FRESHMEN, three more years in Room 207 with the wonderful feeling of having Mr. William Shakespeare’s disapproving eye watching successive classes mutilate the English lan- guage and his comic (to us!) tragedies.

Barbara A. Budnick Mary-Ann C. Dryowicz Witnesses: Arminda L. Augusto Ida Bruni (Signed) Barbara J. Romanko Secretary, Class of 1960 CLASS PROPHECY I, Futura, Goddess of the future, contemplate the thundering of the heavens and the position of the constellations and do hereby prophesy that the following shall come true in the year 1980. President of the United States, BILL KOLODZIEY, kicked the pigskin 49.9 yards to start the annual Lions’ Bowl Classic. JOE HALGAS and CHUCK MILROY, who have broken the world’s record of injuries inflicted during one game, are exhibiting their skills and many talents in this game. To add color and confusion, LYNDA FIDALGO and PAT POLYS aare still cheer- ing for their old flames. By special request, JACK PALATINO, MIKE HNATIW, JOE JORGE, and ROBERT CARNEIRO have flown in to referee the Western Massachusetts Soccer Tournament. All the athletes are staying at ROBERT BATES’ new motel “Boober’s Bungalow.” Flash!!! TRACY BALDRATE, better known as Santa Claus to millions of kids, is trying to sue CHARLES PLANKEY, wh« has struck oil at the North Pole. Santa’s little elves—MIKE HAWRYLCIW and ROBERT GOSCIMINSKI—have been scolded for an attempt to stampede a herd of reindeer over PLANKEY’S immaculate equipment. Now that CHARLES “WALDO” JACK has his flying platform license, he is looking for volunteers for a slow trip anywhere. Hopeful candidates include RICHARD BUSHEY and MARCIA PODOSEK, and NEIL NICOLL and GAIL JASNOCHA. Pre- paring the platform for departure are those notorious mechanics ED VIVIER, JOHN CHAVES, and HENRY TATRO. Meanwhile on the political scene, BARBARA ROMANKO has been named Secretary of State. Her favorite page boys are RONALD BELLISARIO and ROGER BURRAGE. Also in Wash- ington, MICHAEL BONSIEWICZ and PATTI KARR have opened Incidentally, ap- the first Beatnik eatery, “Bonsie’s Expresso.” pearing here twice a day will be JIMMY GOODWIN, who as 50 “Coffee Jim” has acquired fame as the beatnik with the longest beard. The owners serve a new form of expresso coffee devised by HERMAN HIERSCHE and BARBARA SALETNIK. Representing Massachusetts in Congress are Senators ROGER DUMAIS and CAROL EHLERS and Representative DAVID QUAGLINI. Pressuring Congress for a new high school in Ludlow is DAVID McCHESNEY, a licensed lobbyist. DONALD LIBIS- ZEWSKI is head of the Department of Justice and with hi aid, CASS LOPATA, is pondering ways to remove the under world from our nation. We now take you to a modern, exclusive club on the Frenc Riviera, where five American authorities on fashion, SUS BOCHNIA, ELIZABETH BATOR, IDA BRUNI, IRENE SZLO SEK, JACKIE LaBIER, and ANN GUAY, are in controvers over the women’s clothing recently designed by the world-famou BRIAN PHELAN, ROBERT MURTY, and STAN TOKARZ. The famous surgeon JAMES DUQUETTE is going to perfo a delicate operation to remove a sliver from a thumb. “Goin under the knife” will be ROBERT TUTTLE. The doctor’s as sistants are BEVERLY WATSON, SANDRA WHITE, and CARO WHITTIER, JOYCE VanWYCK will have the difficult job o placing the sliver in a preservative for further study by scientis HARRY PETROLATI. Town Treasurer, MARY AVEZZIE, after begging, borrowin and stealing—all legally, of course—provided the money for th new Ludlow Hospital. Donating much of the money is mult millionaire CHARLES GRAVELIN. Plans for the new hospit were drawn by the great engineers DON LEVER and ERNES HIERSCHE. However, due to faulty calculations in the plan the hospital stood for only two days! In Hollywood, TOMMY CELLILLI’S great hit record “Mac th Beth” has reached the ten million mark. MARION VAUTRAI is busy rushing around creating his fan club. She has already ruited HELEN MONDRY, THERESA MOSIO, and LUCILLE OBERTS. While we are still on the topic of Hollywood, direc- or THOMAS DUFFY, whose famous sunglasses and sports coats e designed by PAMELA JACK, has just begun the production of a fabulous new movie called “Mighty Moose,” starring the one and only ROBERT MUCHA and the rising young starlet SUSAN MEUNIER. Working in New York, CAROL POLLITT, a daring detective, and GAIL FEICHA, another policewoman, are working diligently together with the “Unthinkers,’ STANLEY SAMBOR, PETER KLASSANOS, DONALD CARRINGTON, and RICHARD WAITE, to discover the originator of the drive to tax inhalers of auto- mobile fumes. We interrupt this prophecy to bring you a special bulletin by MARY-ANN DRYJOWICZ, your news reporter. JUDITH LIMA, owner of the luxury slow jet known as the “Lima Liner,” an- nounces that early today the liner had a mishap while it was en route to a mink farm owned by CHRISTINE SARACINO and ROBERT MAKUCH. Piloting the plane were student drivers ARMINDA AUGUSTO and GAIL GERSHOWITZ. The “hosts with the mosts” were MEL GERSHOWITZ, FRED. KOZYRA, and ARTIE JANES. No wonder the airline had a mishap! SANDRA NIETUPSKI, head of the Massachusetts Nursery Association has just appointed five capable mothers, JOYCE BOULRICE, ELIZABETH ESTEVES, KATHY FOURNIER, BAR- BARA KIVIOR, and SANDRA STERNALA to her board of directors. CAROL LaCROIX and RUDY MAGIERA are deny- ing vehemently that their little darlings ke the nursery’s pranksters. Recently elected “Teacher of the Year” is BARBARA BUD- NICK, who has finally succeeded (by use of advanced formulae) in teaching WALTER MAYOWSKI, CYRIL ONDRE, and BAR- BARA ST. JOHN that one apple pie does not equal one peach 5| pie. Now hear this! MARIE ZAGRANICZNY has outplayed Lib- erace in BARBARA PRZYBYCIEN’S Klassy Klassics Music Hall. Chief Justice JUDY ABAIR says the reason for Liberace’s failure was that BILL KOSS blew out the candelabra! The latest world-shaking events, as reported by columnists CHRISTINE KAWALEC, FRANCES TOKARZ, and EVELYN CZUPRYNA, are that BILLY STREMPEK has been elected to replace Alfred E. Newman in Mad Magazine through a Ludlow- wide poll, the official ballot counter being PAT CARVILLE; winner of the skiing events at the Brave Valley Winter Olympics was JANET HIERSCHE, who finished first but was disqualified because she retained only one ski, a “Pyrrhic victory,” our news- paper columnists said; NANCY JAROSZ has just finished her book, The Tips I Gave the Boston Celtics, and SANDRA DROST has developed a new type of peroxide—‘Rinse It Now, Turn Blonde Le DONALD BOURCIER and EUNICE DeMIRANDA have opened their own chain stores and are competing valiantly and defiantly with other national chains. They hired JANICE CASEY and CAROL CHARLAND to cut the red ribbon at the grand open- ing of their stores! JUDY HOPE and SUZANNE DYNAK have devised an extra- chewy bubble gum. Chief testers are CAROL and JEANNETTE GOODREAU, ELLEN TREMBLAY, and VICTOR KERTENIS. Victor has competed successfully in a bubble-blowing contest against such bubble testers as ANDY JOHNSTON, SANDRA LUSIGNAN, DOROTHY JANIK, and NANCY FIDALGO. Victor blew such a big bubble he is still floating around in space! With said utterances, I, Futura, have taken my last look at the class of 1960. Futura is tired; Futura has made her last prog- nostication; Futura must seek the “big sleep”!
