STROHMAN Although he was here but a short time, Mr. Strohman left an indelible mark upon the students of Ludlow High. His apt wit, his scintillating personality, and his unfailing courtesy will ever be remem- bered by those students with whom he was associated. Under the direction of this devoted teacher, the band injected a new spirit into the assemblies and the athletic contests. Mr. Strohman was a man of exceptional musical ability. He did everything in his power to help students who needed individual aid or those who desired further study. To this gentleman, teacher, and friend of every would-be musician in our school, the Class’ of 1962 is honored to dedicate this edition of THE LUDLOW LION! FOREWORD The class of 1962 is the last class to be graduated from this building. Not only do we end an era in the history of Ludlow High School, but we also end an era in our individual educational histories. However, the Class of 1962 does not look upon this graduation as an end but rather as a beginning—the beginning of additional experiences on our chosen walks of life. Our President, John F. Kennedy, has named the remaining years of this decade “The New Frontier.” So is our future a “New Frontier.” However, just as the future of our country is rooted in the history of its past, so is the future of the Class of 1962 rooted in the history of our past activities. Therefore, we present this record of the accomplishments of our high school years, and as the “New Frontier” of our country rests upon the wisdom of that great leader, Thomas Jefferson, so do we draw upon Jefferson’s own phrases to herald each mile- stone in this journal of our high school careers. This record will show, we believe, that as Thomas Jefferson said: “We are always equal to what we undertake with resolution.” “Total occupa tion with their affairs” 4 of ADMINISTRATION PRINCIPAL GEORGE E. RUSSELL . . wisdom of the wise . . PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE The pages of the Yearbook of the class of 1962 contain a record of the achievements of the class in their academic, athletic, and social events—those phases in which you have accomplished so much in your years at Ludlow High School. I have been very well pleased with your response over the years, and your contributions to the history of Ludlow High School, and congratulate you especially on the preparation of this fine book which will serve as a fitting testimonial to the members of the Class of 1962. A special word of praise is extended to the Editor and Staff members through whose efforts this book. has been readied. I realize that it is not an easy undertaking and can well appreciate the many hours that Judy and her staff have put into its preparation. I know that its success will serve as a reward for their labor and in some measure compensate for the time and effort which it required of them. As you review now and in later years the events of your high school days as set forth in these pages, I hope that all the members of the class may remember with pleasant feelings the associations with Ludlow High School and the memories of these days shared with the graduates of the Class of 1962.

New schools, new community facilities, as well as rapid overall growth mark the year 1962. Yet in other ways all of us will remember the year for the class the Ludlow High School graduated. The record of your achievements—the magnitude and the variety—will long be a source of pride to all of us.

Hawrylciw “His zeal is unbounded” PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE At this time I should like to express my sincere gratitude to the members of the Class of 1962 for electing me to serve as their president. It has been a great pleasure, a wonderful experience, and a distinct honor for me. Our class has worked well together to make our final years memorable ones. The success of our Senior Year activities—The Booster Day Dance and Bonfire, The Senior Show, Graduation activities, and The Ludlow Lion have all been examples of the proficiency of our class. Our success, however, could not have been attained without the aid and co-operation of the senior class advisors, to whom we are truly grateful. A special note of thanks also goes to Mr. Wrinn, without whose efforts, the unforgettable Senior Show would not have been possible. In conclusion, I hope that the past four years will serve as your inspiration for success . . . and for the resolution to achieve it. Now, with the memories and the knowledge acquired at Ludlow High School, it is up to each of us to fare forth into the frontiers of the future. Sincerely, ae Chester W.

It was just a short time ago when the Class of 1962 began the first of its four historic years. As a new class, we struggled to expand our frontiers. Chosen to pioneer us through our Fresh- man year were: Robert McChesney, President; Phyllis Kozyra, Vice-President; Judith Humber, Secretary of State; and Elaine Smith, Secretary of the Treasury. Our cabinet members included Robert Amos, Anne Mongeon, Armand Minnie, and James Wadas. Our inaugural ball, “Silver Starlight,” was an encouraging success, and we completed our first year with an equally successful “Sock Hop.” As we entered our Sophomore year, we were ready to reach new heights to achieve our desired goal. We re-elected Robert McChesney, President; Anne Mongeon, Vice- President; Judith Humber, Secretary of State; and Sheryl Bolaski, Secretary of the Treasury. The cabinet members included Robert Amos, Elizabeth Genthner, Jacque- line Hope, and Jeannette Story. We added to our accomplishments with our ball, “Autumn Leaves.” The latter part of the second year saw us enjoying an old-fashioned “Mardi Gras.” Inestimable time seemed ahead as we faced the opening of our third year. A change in leaders resulted in the election of Chester Hawrylciw, President; Michael Szlosek, Vice-President; Philomena Fabrocini, Secretary of State; and Robert Howes, Secretary of the Treasury. For cabinet members to assist in the task of governing, we chose Donna Bruni, Elizabeth Genthner, Robert McChesney, Sandra Saletnik, and Patricia Walz. Slowly approaching the final stages of our educational journey, we sponsored our fall dance, “Le Chat Noir D’Automne.” In honor of the departing class, we entertained them at the Junior Promenade, “In the Still of the Night.” Now, at last our final year has come and passed. We have completed this most important of our four years with the election of Chester Hawrylciw, President; Michael Szlosek, Vice-President; Jacqueline Hope, Secretary of State; and Richard Thompson, Secretary of the Treasury. The cabinet members are Sheryl Bolaski, Judith Humber, Robert McChesney, and Patricia Walz. Our last gala was the “Booster Day Dance.” Next, we reveled in the Senior Show, the Junior Promenade, and Ivy Day. Today, at our Senior Assembly, we are pleased to share with the underclasses some of our class records. Tonight, we shall become alumni of this school—alumni whose yearbook is still to be completed. Since it will cover all the events of this graduation week, we are content to wait until fall to receive it. Wednesday, 13 June 1962 Jacqueline Hope, Class Secretary 58 CLASS POEM We'll search through life for many a year, And seek varied goals we hold so dear Life will force us often to pay, While our old school seems far away. New roads we'll travel and goals we’ll seek, And life will force us to be meek. Who loses a goal must surely pay, But school will guide him on his way. We'll leave the Halls of Ivy While life will seem so cruel, But we shall know forever We’re armed by our old school. We’re armed with the shield of Justice And brandish the sword of Right. We'll travel through the darkness And carry the torch of light. Michael H. Carroll 59 CLASS WILL This, the Class of 1962, being the last graduating class of the present High School building on Chestnut Street, of the Town of Ludlow, the County of Hampden, and of the State of Massachusetts, and being staunch adherents of the principle that ‘‘you can’t take it with you,’’ declare this to be our last will and testament, Thereby, we revoke all previous wills and_ testa- ments.

James Evans Michael Fairbanks Anne Mongeon for the Class of 1962 WITNESSES: Oliver Twist Wandering Willie Shakespeare (Signed) CLASS PROPHECY I, Mephistophilos, greatest of the phonies, do hereby in this oracle predict that nothing in the foreseeable future is foreseeable, but in the year 1982, I can see cer- tain strange things happening. Adamson’s Dude Ranch has just been bombed by Palatino’s Flying Milk Can, piloted by John Palatino and co-piloted by Gus Sevivas. Jack Fonte, the bombardier, unloaded tons of highly explosive Portuguese meat made at the Mario and Maria Augusto Ammunition Arsenal. It seems that Tony had opened an Orbit Lounge,. which was banned in Washington by Richard Soroka, Larry Gagne, and Ted Wakem, the Dance Censorship Com- mittee. Caught in the raid doing the strenuous dance were Sandra Nelson and Charlie Valade. The dance, in- vented by the wild swinger, Jimmy Evans, incidentally secret inventor of the twist, consists of standing perfectly still and revolving the head as violently as possible until one’s eyeballs pop out. Two optometrists, Anne Beauregard and Patty Flelotte, are doing a booming busi- ness selling oversized contact lenses which keep the eye- balls in one’s head. Meanwhile, on the other side of the globe, Bob Mc- Chesney is on an exploratory expedition to Africa to search for rare Model A parts for Millionaire Bobby Howes. Back in New York, Judy Codding is a dress designer showing her latest creation, a full-length gown fash- ioned from a poly-ethylene bag. It is modeled by Cynthia Saletnik and Jackie Hope—WOW! Down in Greenwich Village, Mike Carroll is trying to make Frank Nietupski understand his poetry. His latest is a version of the Iliad entitled, While Ulysses Is Away, Penelope Will Play. Mike will be giving a reading at the White House for President Chet Hawrylciw. Joe Kawecki is busy at work in the White House hooking up the loud speaker system so that the poetry can be heard all over the country. Judy Humber is covering the event for the New York Times. Up in New Hampshire, Jack Henderson and Lance Le- Brasseur have entered their hot tricycles in the World 62 Championship Tricycle Race from Laconia, N.H., to Miami, Florida. It is expected that they will reach the finish line in 3 years, 47 days, 22 hours, and 17 min- utes! David Bourcier is now operating a Chevy agency where he deals strictly in six-cylinder automatic transmissions. He is a conscientious devoté of drag racing. Robert Moore is posing as a model for a suntan lotion company; he is being an example of what happens if you don’t use their product. Jim Ouimette has just made his first million from a record entitled, “How to Speak Rebel Talk for Yankees.” Martin and Elaine Smith are co-owners of a factory in Los Angeles selling “Smith’s Small Smog Smellers,” so that people will know when the smog comes in. Betty Abair, “world renowned culinary artist,” is responsible for the meal which set off an international crisis. John Saletnik, ambassador to Poland, was highly insulted when Betty mixed some of Manuel Tomas’s highly potent Portuguese brew into the salad oil. Not only that, but it gave John heartburn and an upset stomach for three days, so that he missed the daily double at the Polish National Raceway. Elizabeth Barth is still refusing to have her picture taken. She slugged Steve Trusz when he tried to take her picture at a formal affair at the home of Barry ‘Dias, the last astronaut to make an orbit around the night clubs of Paris. Looking ahead to the year 2000, I find Joe Queiroga, retired Navy officer, organizing trips to Neptune for people tired of traveling to the moon. There is a Comet Guard installation on Neptune ruled over by Anne Mongeon and Elaine Smith. Wonder why? Walter Wilczynski has signed up as first passenger. He plans to set up a gas station where he can sell Neptunian gas. Michele Alves and Mary Lopes are running a travel agency for Joe with special rates for honeymooners. Armand Minnie plans to open a Volkswagen agency, and Nancy Hiersche will export the first sheep to the planet. Ronald O’Keefe will set up the first newspaper for all the latest news collected by that master ferret, Sheryl Bolaski. Teddy Prorok is building a golf course and also open- ing, (on each hole), a concession for hungry golfers. Manny Castro is reported to be writing a new language for the planet. Meanwhile, back on Mother Earth, Alice Cipriano is trying to revive the Charleston. Joan Migacy is featured at the Copacabana Club, assisted by her troupe of dancers including “Bubbles” McDonald, “Little Egypt” Castenera, and “Trixie” Kivier. The cool, cool musicians are Rich- ard Melberg and Stu Fuller, currently known as “Hot Lips Stu.” Charlie Zhe and Richard Guerci have written a best-seller entitled, “How to Get Along Widout Babes Widout Half Tryin’.” Alfred Houle and Mike Fairbanks have teamed up as the hottest money-making duo in history. Mike trans- fixes the audience with his singing, while Alfie goes through the audience picking pockets. . Miriam Taylor and Rena Tatro are conferring over the price of beer in the Gobi Desert. After defeating Arnold Palmer in a sudden-death playoff at the Masters, Jimmy Wadas has finally been named “Mr. Golf” by all the sportswriters. Sandra Duchesne and Jeanne Duquette now own a controlling interest in the Eiffel Tower; they bought it 342 times on their recent trip to Paris. Sandra Evangelista is Ipana’s girl Friday for her quick, on-the- spot smile. Dorothy Alphonso was named “Miss Sweet- ness” of 1982. Donna Bruni runs a boarding school for girls, and her teachers include Barbara Carrington and Elaine Carroll. Mike Carleton has stunned America’s audi- ences with his performance at Carnegie Hall. It seems he plays the piano, stands on it, tells clever jokes, and dances all over the harp. Consequentiy, Larry Carpenter tunes the piano every day. Geraldine Chenevert and Ferne Chestnut are co-presidents of the Carlton Electric Fan Club. Jane Ciborowski and Louis De Tomas find them- selves beset by the fan club members for not joining the admirers. Tom Cairns and Joan Bruschi are at- tempting to promote Mike as the number one teen-age idol. Philomena Fabrocini is running a food stand where she sells “Phil Fab’s Fabulous French Fries.” Barbara Figal was the first to sue when she found out the French fries were just cardboard. John Fournier, Elizabeth Genth- 63 ner. and Mitch Grzywoc are attempting to remove Jean- the grounds that she did not give them the state gravy train nette Hill from the office of State Governor on she promised them before she was elected. Attorney General Jaqueline Kelly says that the position of chief Advisor to all Disc Jockeys, which the trio wants, does not exist under the Constitution. Dave Russell has just been awarded the Mad Magazine “Loafer of the Year” Award for goofing off on 47 consec- utive jobs and getting fired from each one. He narrowly nosed out Manny Soares, who thought he had the title in the bag when he was fired from a window-washing job on the Empire State Building when he fell asleep at the 74th floor. Phyllis Kozyra owns the world-championship girls’ basketball team. The team includes Carolyn “the Tower” Kowalski, Mitzie “the Blonde Bomber” Makuch, and Sandra “the Shot” Saletnik. Richie Rodrigues and Joe Ross have invented a spring tonic with the name, ‘“Ro- Ro’s Go-Go Juice.” Frances Prystupa and Barbara Ondre opened a chain of grocery stores called the O P. Gail Kravick and Carol Kulig still hire themselves out as chief-typists for high school yearbooks. Elizabeth Liver- more, Peter Paliki, and Ronnie Pobieglo have all tied for the title of “American of the Year” by voting 54 times each in the last presidential election. Sylvia Sibik and Dick Thompson make a fine team of detectives. They recently solved the case of the missing model planes. They found the plastic airplanes under Carlene Trett’s pillow. Steve Trusz and Pat Walz have lost out in the contest for title of “Redhead of the Year.” Barbara Wilkie, with the help of Avon, took the award. Barbara Zych is attempting to rearrange the alphabet so that the letter “Z” will not be last. She is aided and abetted by Sylvia Wareham, who hopes “W” will also be moved up. Jean St. John and Karen Sorcinelli are at- tempting to break into the movies by giving out free samples of John Tibbett’s amazing new product called “Tib’s Tender Torso Tonic.” Edward Socha, top T.V. producer, egged on by the number one leading man in moviedom, Richard Stone, finally hired the girls as “heavies.” Doug Sanford objected, feeling he might be replaced as Hollywood’s number one “heavy.” Finally, Dorothy Sepiol, Mary Jane Severyn, and Jean Saracino have erected on the lawn of the “old” Ludlow High School, a statue commemorating our class reunion on this, the 20th anniversary of our graduation.

For when we return in September we will beg:n occupation in the new high school, which is located on Chapin Street. We would like to take this opportunity to wish the entire senior class good luck in the future and also tel] you a little about the new high school A few brief thumbnail sketches of showd give you an idea of what you can expect to see when you return | in September. Elevator The first new feature of the school w'll be an elevator. However, it will not be open for use to the entire student body. Its main purpose will | be that of transporting handicapped students to the various floors. Thus, the only way one can get to use it will be by breaking a leg, ankle, ete. So if you have designs on using the | elevator, you had better wait until the fall before you decide to break a Jeg. Auditorium The new auditorium, unlike our: present one, will comfortably seat 1,000 people. The seats will be com- pletely cushioned and placed on an upgrade. The stage will have two adjoining dressing rooms, and a projection room will be Jocated in the back of the auditorium. I'll het you can’t wait until the first assem- bly!

PANEL “without precedent” On November 2, 1962, Ludlow made television history in the greater Springfield area when a panel of L.H.S. seniors made its first of five consecutive appearances on Channel 22’s new quiz program, AS SCHO OLS MATCH WITS. Ludlow’s first opponent was a confident quartet from Cathedral High, a quartet flushed with its victory the previous week over Springfield Technical High School. Ludlow, with lightning speed, doubled Cathedral’s score and emerged with a total of 180 points. In the next few days, congratulatory letters, telephone calls, and verbal praise poured into the high school office. On Novenher 9, Ludlow, with a score of 120 to 110, defeated Minnechaug, and on the following Thurs- day was an easy victor over Sacred Heart of Holyoke and Holyoke High School. The last contest had extra tension in that to an ever-growing television audience were added friends, rela tives, and college students home for the Thanksgiving Day holiday. Finally, on November 30, Chicopee High School, by scoring in the last few seconds of the program, won by the very slim margin of one question (10 points)! “Phil” Shepardson, moderator of the program, says that this program is based on quick recall of facts and is not to be a way of measuring the quality of the various school systems appearing on the program. How- ever, the general consensus of the community was that this panel of seniors proved the high caliber of its educational background, brought glory to the town, and truly earned its kudos as a group of outstanding stu- dents. The Class of 1962 is, indeed, proud of Michael H. Carroll, Judith A. Humber, Robert D. McChesney, and David G. Russell, our first representatives on AS SCHOOLS MATCH WITS.

The lone win was against Commerce. Due to the scarcity of high school opposition, many of Ludlow’s games were against college and academy teams. Many of the early championships were mythical, since there was no league play or Western Mass. Tournament. In 1934 the Valley Wheel Soccer League was formed. Ludlow was Valley Wheel champion in 1934, 1936, 1937, 1938, and 1939. In 1939 the League disbanded. In 1938 and 1939, Ludlow defeated Eastern Massachusetts’ powerful New Bedford for the Mythical State Title. In 1946 the Western Mass. Soccer Tournament came into existence. In 16 years, Ludlow has won or shared 10 titles. In 1958 the Pioneer Valley Soccer League was formed. Ludlow has won four consecutive crowns. Streaks: 1. Unbeaten 1936-1940—50 games 2.
