Despite such advances as travel by “jet, seeking to resolve the problems created by his ingenuity and by automation. Therefore, as in all past generations, when we editors sought a theme for our memoirs, we could find no better source than “The Proverbs” of the Bible. What have we sought in our Education? Knowledge. What have we sought to gain from that Knowledge? Wisdom. What does each one of us believe that Wisdom will bring him? Happiness. Truly, then, our yearbook is the result of the Knowledge we have acquired; our extracurricular activities have given us not only Knowledge but also Experience. From that Experience, we have gained Understanding; Under- standing has led to Happiness, and real Happiness, in turn, is but one facet of Wisdom. We can, therefore, say that Wisdom and Understanding have been the goal of our high school education; that is, as Proverbs says: Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, And the man that getteth understanding. IN TRIBUTE “He died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honor” MR. JOHN J. MILLANE Supervisor of Secondary Schools, Commonwealth of Massachusetts No one typifies better the theme of this book, ‘““‘Wisdom and Understanding,” than John J. Millane. I am proud to acknowledge the debt I owe personally to Mr. Millane. He was a close friend, an esteemed administrator and co-worker. The young people of Ludlow who came in contact with Mr. Millane owe him much. Ludlow High School and the Town of Ludlow owe him much. Pupils, teachers, and townspeople respected John Millane for his friendliness, his fairness, and his understanding. He liked people and people liked him. He loved his school work and was happy in it. School and his family were his life. His was a distinguished career as an educator; his life as a father and citizen, exemplary. Paul R. Baird (Retired) Superintendent of Schools Ludlow, Massachusetts DEDICATION “Out of his mouth cometh knowledee and inderstanding” MR. LOUIS CASAGRANDE In selecting the person to whom the Class of 1963 wished to dedicate its yearbook, the students unknowingly — but, oh, so rightly!! — chose a man who embodies the basic theme of our book, WISDOM AND UNDER- STANDING. Throughout our four years of high school, we have been fortunate in knowing a certain member of the faculty. His willingness to help his students, his friendly and warm manner, and his ready wit have given him a place in the hearts of us students whom he taught or knew. Over the years, affectionate students have come to call him “Mr. C.” It is, then, with a feeling of affection, trust, and high regard that we, the Class of 1963, dedicate to Mr. Louis Casagrande, its edition of The Ludlow Lion! ADMINISTRATION Left to right: Mr. Eugene Soja; Dr. Reuben Katz; Chairman Herbert McChesney; Mr. Edwin Allen; and Mr. James Teixeira. The members of the School Committee extend congratulations and best wishes to all the members of the Class of 1963 for having successfully completed their careers in the Ludlow schools. As you go on to the next stage of your lives, we know that you will continue to demonstrate the qualities of good citizenship and the interest in self improvement that you have evidenced during your school years, and more particularly during your stay at Ludlow High School. We wish each of you every success in your chosen field, and hope that you will remember your days in the Ludlow schools with pleasant memories. This year I feel that I have something very much in common with the members of the Class of 1963. We are both leaving the Ludlow school system at approximately the same time and in both cases leave behind some fond memories. Your four years have been marked with many changes — the chief change being that you will be the first class graduating from the new high school. Yet beyond this, as I have known you as a class, you have demonstrated in all your endeavors both academically and extracurricularly not only a high level of ability, but an u nusual determination to do things extremely well. I am quite confident that both of these aspects of your high school perform- ance speak well for your future. For this future — God speed and every wish for happy years ahead. atta DR. HENRY F. TRAINOR 8 (Signed) Henry F. Trainor PRINCIPAL GEORGE E. RUSSELL To the Class of 1963: The Yearbook of the Class of 1963 will be to each member of the class a record of the numerous activ- ities and events in which they participated as students at Ludlow High School. To each graduate it serves in years to come as a remembrance of their classmates and the associations which have typified their being together. I know that all of you will appreciate the Yearbook and enjoy the pleasant recollections which it will recall. To the graduates of the Class of 1963 my best wishes are extended with the hope that your years at Ludlow High School now and in the future will always be a vivid part of your school memories. I, too, have enjoyed the years with you — the double sessions at the old building and our year together in the new building. May all of your years in the future be as rewarding as these have been and the Yearbook of your class always recall to you the pleasantness of life at Ludlow High School. (Signed) George E.

As you turn the pages of this edition of “The Ludlow Lion.” you will recall the many projects we worked on together: the Sophomore Banquet, the Junior Promenade, and of course, the “fabulous” Senior Show. You will recall the joys and sorrows, the successes, and the failures that composed those four significant years. Our class worked well together during our high school years and whenever there was a job to be done, pleasant or otherwise, someone was always there to do it. I extend my sincere thanks for your loyalty and generosity. I should also like to extend my sincere appreciation to Mr. Russell, for his organization and management made our high school years notable ones. A special note of thanks goes to Miss Saulnier. Without her unceasing devotion and artful supervision, this yearbook would have been impossible. In conclusion, I wish each member of the class the best of luck in the future and I thank you for selecting me to serve as your permanent class president. I am looking forward to seeing each of you at our first class reunion in 1968, Sincerely, Eugene J. Baldrate, President 16 CLASS OFFICERS Left to right: Peter Thompson, Vice-President; Janice Libiszewski, Secretary; Duane Minnie, Treasurer; and Eugene Baldrate, President.

AND SOVIT WAS: WRITTEN” “Where there is no governor, the people shall fall; but there is safety where there is much counsel.” And thus, in the light of the wisdom of this Biblical quotation, it came to pass in the year 1959 A.D., that the class of 1963 recognized the need for wise guidance to lead them through the many hardships of their high school years. So it came to be that on a certain day the students did elect Richard Henrichon their first Governor. The following council was also chosen to assist him in his many duties: Wendell Hewett, Assistant Governor; Janice Libiszewski, Keeper of the Records; and Eugene Baldrate, Tax Collector. Their decrees were carried out by Elizabeth Bojan, Jo Anne Diotalevi, Michael Malinowski, Rosemary Randall, and Claire Warzecha. To end a very prosperous first year, the Governor and these worthy advisors deemed it fitting to hold two gatherings, “Harvest Moon” and “Super- stition.” As these gatherings represented the first social events of the class, the students realized the immeasurable benefits of such affairs. When the second year began, Richard Hendrichon was re-elected to the governor- ship, with Karen Hanson, Assistant Governor; Judith Kolodziey, Keeper of the Records; and Duane Minnie, Tax Collector. Laws were enforced by Peter Carroll, Paul Hackett, Lorraine Kolano, Elaine Quaglini, and Claire Warzecha. With the support of the class, the officers were successful in sponsoring “Sophomore Swing” and “Spring Time A La Carte,” two functions truly enjoyed by every loyal citizen of the class. In the following year Richard Henrichon was chosen for a third term as Governor, and his council was composed of Karen Hanson, Assistant Governor; Janice Libiszew- ski, Keeper of the Records; and Duane Minnie, Tax Collector. Margaret Avezzie, Jo Anne Diotalevi, Patricia Korol, Ann Saracino, and Constance Shlosser made up the advisory group. They assisted in holding a highly successful social event, “Chaos 63,” which was followed by our never-to-be-forgotten Junior Promenade, “Blue Enchant- ment.” The class entered their final and most important year by electing Eugene Baldrate, Governor; Peter Thompson, Assistant Governor; Janice Libiszewski, Keeper of the Records; and Duane Minnie, Tax Collector. Assisting them were Margaret Avezzie, Richard Henrichon, Judith Kolodziey, Elaine Quaglini, and Robert Smith. “Booster Day Dance” and the “Annual Senior Show” (the Greatest Show on Earth) were the first two events presented by the class. As our school year drew to a close, we realized that the many hardships we had endured would aid us in overcoming obstacles in the future. Now, our closest memories are those of the Class Banquet, Class Day, our Senior Assembly, and Graduation — the last happy moments of our high school years. Our most vivid recollections are those of graduation, for we boast of the fact — and we can always boast of the fact — that we are the first class to be graduated from the new Ludlow High School! 50 MEMORABILIA Susan Lee Waite The time is here to say “Farewell” to this our grand new school; The time is here to say “Farewell” to each and every rule — To ev’ry rule, to ev’ry book, to ev’ry task assayed, And ev’ry joy and sadness, too — but joy now seems to fade. The thought that we are leaving school awakes in us anew, And sad we feel, but sadness, too, that comes to but a few, For though each year the lines do pass, there ne’er can ever be A group of “grads” who love their school as much as “sixty-three!” We'll go through life with mem’ries long of fun we’ve had in school, The fun that meant we wasted time because we liked to fool! Tis true some time we wasted, but knowledge too we earned, For ev’ry single one of us had goals toward which he yearned. When first we entered this new school, we viewed our lot with pride. At first our code of rules did irk, but it we took in stride, For to our lot had come one task — the Fates had so decreed — Tradition we must set in fact and hold up by our deed! These halls have almost passed from view, but these things we’ll hold dear: The fun we’ve had, the lessons learned, the friendships strong and clear; The knowledge gained from teachers, ever staunch and stern; The aid so warmly given by all to whom we turn. We say “Farewell!” to our new school with joy and yet with dread; In life’s events we'll correlate the facts from books we’ve read. The lessons learned at L.H.S. our guiding stars will be, These mem’ries we’ll have with us into eternity. 5 | We, Amos, Jeremiah, Jonah, and Ezekial, appren- tices to the great prophet, Isaiah, do hereby prophesy and proclaim that the following shall be true of the members of the present senior class in the year of 2001 A.D.: Many changes have taken place in the town of Ludlow since the graduation of the Class of 1963. As we ride along East Street, we pass by a local church and wave to clergyman ALFRED “FRITZ” SANTOS, who is out front trying to coax RICHIE BENNET and BOB DUFFY to repent. On the other side of the street, we notice JIMMY HILL’S Funeral Home, with a neon sign sticking up from the lawn saying, “When you die . . . Go to Hill!” Conveniently located next door is the BOB SMITH Casket Company. Plainly displayed in the window is his motto, “When you need a favor, ask it. Pll lower you into a special Smitty casket.” STEVE MASLEY and CHARLIE LARAMEE have drawn up the plans for JO ANNE DIOTALEVI’S School for Retarded Geniuses. Her faculty includes Chemistry professor, FRED GIGUERE; Problems teacher, DUANE MINNIE; English teacher, ED HIER- SCHE; Home Nursing instructor, GERALD GRETT; and finally, new gym instructor, WENDELL HEWETT, who is introducing a new course into the school— karati!! Out on the gridiron we see a warming-up of Coach ART FIDALGO and his team, the Pugnacious Portawops. On the sidelines, Assistant Coaches, DEN- NIS CONTI and DENNIS COSTA, are reading Mad Magazine. As we leave the building, we see janitor CHARLIE WOOLSEY clapping erasers on the front steps. 52 Across the street, the teen-age hangout, “The Fryer House,” owned by AUDREY DZIEDZINSKI, is doing a booming business. MIKE BOLASKI, who is thinking about going into a partnership with her, is out front testing some of her “fantabulous French fries.” Enter- ing the store is our own DANNY PHELAN dribbling a basketball. He is followed by TOM DVORCHAK and RICH HAWRYLCIW, who want to challenge him to a foul shooting contest under the supervision of KEITH SCOTT. On the corner of the street, JOHN ZIELINSKI’S revival band is breaking into song. Other members of the band include MIKE SCOTT, STEVE KULIG, LARRY BILL, and vocalist JANICE LIBISZEWSKI. They are playing their favorite hymn, “Rock of Ages.” Being held today is the “Grand Opening” of “Coif- fures by Sawick,” owned by DAVID SAWICKY. On his staff are hair-dressers CINDY PIESZ, BETTY BOJAN, CAROL PROKOP, ELEANOR TETREAULT, SUSAN WAITE, and MARTHA OUIMETTE. Wait- ing for their appointments are NANCY TOKARZ and ANN ARBOUR. BONNIE CHAREST and CAROL BERSELLI are having a cup of coffee at “Paula’s Pizza Palace,” owned and operated by PAULA SANTINI. Next door, playing at “Talbot’s Technirama,” is that absorbing drama, “Inside Alden Street,” starring ANN SARACINO, RICKY HENRICHON, PEGGY AVEZZIE, and GENE BALDRATE. The co-feature “To Kill a Zinabird” stars SHIRLEY ZINA and the BRUNELLE Boys, RICHARD and ROGER. Manager ROGER TALBOT is out front taking tickets in place of RICHARD FIJAL, who is on his lunch hour. His first customers are the former JEANNE PROVOST and her twelve children. Coming into town for his weekly supplies is Forest Ranger PETE CARROLL. He stops at “KoKo’s Cafe- teria,” where proprietress JUDY KOLODZIEY is yell- ing at waitress LYNDA MERKEL to speed things up. MORT PACKER, BOBBY MOORE, and JAMES GREGOIRE are the men behind the swinging doors to the kitchen. Gracefully prancing out of “Woody Wilcox’s Won- derland Waltz World” are CONNIE SHLOSSER, ADELE LEONARDO, and CLAIRE WARZECHA. Our nimble-footed instructor has just finished teach- ing them the “soft shoe” which he so ably mastered in the Senior Show. However, all of his students aren’t quite so successful, for LORRAINE KOLANO acci- dently broke her leg in attempting to do a triple-spin pirouette. She has been rushed to the hospital in BILL MAITLAND’S Mechanical Mercy Machine, the new- est thing in atomic ambulances. At the hospital she was received by nurses MARCIA GUERRA and JUDY GRIFFING who called in for consultation that famous bone specialist, DR. RONALD VALADE. Following in the political footsteps of his relatives by winning every election in which he has run is the recently elected Mayor of Ludlow, PETER THOMP- SON. His private secretary, ELAINE QUAGLINI, is now busy scanning applications for various state and local jobs. Pete has already made some very contro- versial appointments. These include: State Seamstress JOAN NOGA; Health Inspector SANDRA GOVE; Chief of Police STEVE YARYMOWICZ; Superin- tendent of Schools NORMAN LEBOEUF; Fruit In- 53 spector ROSEMARY RANDALL; Massachusetts 4-H President SUSAN HIERSCHE; and leaders of the Local Ladies Labor Union PAT KOROL, LOIS ZAG- RANSKI, and CAROL ST. ONGE. LORRAINE MADEJ and CLARA MARQUES have been appointed the first Supreme Court Jesters. One of our last stops is at the Ludlow Savings Bank. Bank President, JANET VACARRO, has decided that a staff made up of only women would be best for the town. Knowing that women have a natural knack for handling money, she has filled the bank positions with only the most competent women. ROSEMARY “STICKY FINGERS” JARVIS is the vice-president; HELEN “MONEY BAGS” TAYLOR is the executive secretary; “LOYAL” LINDA VANCE is the executive treasurer; and JUDY L’HEUREUX, BONNIE MA- GADA, and THERESA SIMONE are the cashiers. Stopping at the Post Office, we see Postal Inspector JOHN PSILOS hanging up the “wanted” posters. In- cluded among them are “SLIPPERY” SAM JACIOW ) for “borrowing” briefcases from Zayre’s; PAUL “HACKSAW” HACKETT, for breaking into “Silva’s Super Shoppers Market” owned by JACK SILVA; and “EXPLOSIVE” NICK CRUSO for planting a series of bombs on the Massachusetts Turnpike. On our way out of town, we notice that the Ludlow Bridge has been replaced by “Pancotti’s Parkway,” built in honor of Ludlow’s first woman into space, DONNA PANCOTTI. We are sure that Donna, wher- ever she may be, is very proud of this honor. The heavens thunder and the lightning bolts flash. We must return to the Great Beyond. We lay down our pens for our prophecy is written — “so it is written, so it shall be done.” We, the Class of 1963, having been diagnosed as being afflicted with that highly contagious, infectious, endemit, and epidemic disease locally referred to as Senioritis Enciphalitis, deem it imperative to draw up this, our last will and testament. Be it known that: We, the Victors of the Modern World, bequeath to the FACULTY electric golf carts for use as transportation within the high school when Father Time gets the best of them.

At this time, the last issue of the Hi-News containing the Class Prophecy, Class Will, Class Poem, and other Senior statistics was dedicated to the Senior Class. In 1933, the Ludlow Lion resembled a stapled booklet about five inches long. In 1940, it advanced to a plastic ring note- book. However, this did not prove durable, and so in 1948 it returned to a nine by twelve inch stapled booklet. Finally, in 1953, the yearbook advanced to what we have at present — a regular book binding. Even though these were more costly than the others, they proved to be the most durable. When the Ludlow Lion first appeared, there were no pictures except for a large one of the class. In 1935, the insertion of individual pictures of each student in the senior class and of the different activity groups was started. Over the years, the Ludlow Lion has developed into a memorable book, one which every senior is anxious to see. LUDLOW HI-NEWS The first issue of the Ludlow Hi-News was published in 1928. The early issues doubled as the senior class yearbook. They resembled magazines, with the Class Song, History, Prophecy, and Will included in addition to the regular news articles. The Hi-News was actually printed for the first time in 1930. Before this it had been mimeographed by the students themselves. Published monthly, a year’s subscrip- tion cost only forty-five cents. Many short stories and poems written by the students provided for interesting reading. Presently, the main features of the Ludlow Hi-News are much the same as in the past, with each class, club, and school organization being represented. However, subscription to the Hi-News is now automatic with membership in G.O. SPOTLIGHT ON YOUTH A few years ago the Springfield Republican began a youth program, entitled Spotlight on Youth, to encourage students to write about happenings at their schools. Ludlow was first introduced to the program by Patricia Carville (’60), a transfer student from Commerce High School. Patricia was Ludlow High School’s first repre- sentative. David Russell (’62) and Jacqueline Hope (’62) reported for the 1960- 1961 school year. The following year’s representatives were Jacqueline Hope, David Russell, Judith Humber (762) and Jo Anne Diotalevi (’63). The 1962-1963 reporters were Jo Anne Diotalevi, Donna Taylor (’64), and Carol Bolduan (’64). WSPR STUDENT REPORTER PROGRAM The WSPR student reporter program, initiated by former News Director Durham Caldwell, has been in existence for three years. The purpose of this program is to interest students in radio work and to provide listeners with high school news. Ludlow’s first representatives were Susan Bassler (761), Jo Anne Diotalevi (’63), and Carol Bolduan (764). Susan served as vice-president of the group, and Jo Anne was secretary. During the 1961-62 school year Jo Anne Diotalevi, who became vice- president, and Carol Bolduan again represented Ludlow High School. In the middle of that year, Mr. Keith Silver replaced Mr. Durham Caldwell as News Director at WSPR. The 1962-63 representatives were Jo Anne Diotalevi, Carol Bolduan, Donna 99 Taylor (’64), Martha McChesney (’64), John Elphinstone (764), and Wallace Gay (764). A new innovation was added in the program’s second year. Informative half- hour broadcasts were taped and played as a series. These programs featured panelists from the student reporter group and distinguished guests who discussed controversial topics. MAJORETTES Although the band was led by two Drum Majorettes as early as 1944, the actual squad was organized in 1947. This first group consisted of six members and a leader: Ethel Melberg; Jean Pidgeon; Jan Lee Sanford; Charlotte Stanhope; Ann Melberg; and Anita Bramucci, leader. Mr. Archibald Messenger was the first faculty advisor for the unit and at that time was also director of the band. The squad marched along with the band at football games. They did not, however, have any routines but performed drilling exercises. During this first year. the squad’s major activities were marching in an anniversary parade held in Ludlow and attend- ing a two-day music festival held at Old Orchard Beach, Maine. In spite of t he fact that the school did not provide the girls with uniforms until 1947, their leader, Anita Bramucci, made uniforms for herself and Ann Melberg (they marched more often than the others). In 1957, a squad of Junior Varsity Majorettes was organized but it only lasted one year. Now, in 1963, there are sixteen majorettes, including a head, co-head, and two substitutes. Their activities include marching at football games and other school activities, participating in local parades, and performing at music festivals. BAND When the Ludlow High School Band was formed in 1923, it had only seven members and was known as the Ludlow High School Orchestra. It was composed of three violins, a viola, a cello, a clarinet, and a piano. In 1924, the Ludlow High School Orchestra had to fight for survival because of so little participation. To remedy this, two teachers at the school, Miss Paradis and Mr. Lynch, gave violin and cornet lessons. Because of their efforts, in 1926 the orchestra numbered nineteen. In 1929, Mr. A. H. Messenger came to Ludlow High School as its first band director. About 1938, the band had its first marching band leader, a band major, not a majorette. Up to this time and for some time later, the band only participated in competition at the Eastern States Exposition and in Memorial Day parades. In 1939, here were two musical groups at Ludlow High School, the Ludlow High School Band and the Ludlow High School Orchestra. The orchestra participated at graduation ceremonies, Senior Plays, and Oratorical Contests. The band _par- ticipated in any events that required a band: football games, pep assemblies, Open Night, Massachusetts, Small Schools Basketball Tournaments, Memorial Day Parades, and Ivy Day Ceremonies. In 1949, through the efforts of the Ludlow Lions Club and a community project, 100 the Ludlow High School was presented with $1,700 which was used to purchase the first band uniforms. These uniforms are the same now as they were then. In September, 1959, Mr. Alan Strohman replaced Mr. A. H. Messenger as band director. From 1959 to the present day, the band has changed very little. As of September, 1962, following the death of Mr. Alan Strohman, Mr. Raymond Mancinelli became director of the Ludlow High School Band. CHORAL MUSIC The Chorale is a group of selected voices which represents Ludlow High at the Music Festivals and at the functions of various community organizations in and around Ludlow. It is an outgrowth of the Choralettes, a girls ’ sextet, which was active in the Ludlow area for several years. In 1957, boys were added to the group and S.T.B. music was sung. In succeeding years, the Chorale varied in size from fifteen to fifty. It presently numbers and is limited to twenty-eight members. The members audition every year to retain their place in Chorale. Auditions are open to anyone who elects Chorus and are held at the end of each year. The Mixed Chorus is a large chorus of about seventy-five voices. Membership is by audition and members of Chorale are automatically members of Mixed Chorus. This group performs at school functions throughout the year, and performs music suited to a larger choral group and music of a festival nature. The Choraleers were organized just this past year. Membership includes all Junior and Senior girls who are in Choral Music classes. This group performs at the Christmas Assembly and at the Spring Concert. The Girls’ Chorus has been active at Ludlow High School for many years. In the future, Girls’ Chorus will refer to Freshmen and Sophomore girls who are in Choral Music classes. This group performs at the Christmas Assembly and at the Spring Concert. The Boys’ Chorus was organized in 1957. This group includes all boys who are enrolled in Choral Music classes. The group sings at the Christmas Assembly and at the Spring Concert. MODEL CONGRESS The Model Congress, sponsored by the Student Government of American Interna- tional College, has been in existence for twenty-two years. It is attended each year by two hundred high school students representing forty high schools from the North- east. The Model Congress, a two-day event which takes place each spring, is both educational and enjoyable to the student. Conducted like our national Congress, the Model Congress gives students an opportunity to learn about and participate in our legislative system. Each representative may present a bill which is sent to a special committee for recommendation, is discussed and debated upon in the Senate or House, and finally is voted upon by the students of the Congress. The event is climaxed by a banquet at which three outstanding student contributors to the Model Congress are awarded scholarships to American International College. Also, a leading political figure is invited to speak at this final banquet. In 1953, the Model 101 Congress was recognized for its contribution in furthering the “American Way of Life” when the Freedom Foundation awarded it a special medallion and a cash prize. Ludlow High School, which has been sending delegates since the program first began, last year sent two seniors and two juniors to the Model Congress: Robert McChesney (°62), Jacqueline Hope (’62), Richard Bennett (63), and Jo Anne Diotalevi (’63). This year’s representatives were Bruce Dziura (64), Jo Anne Diotalive (763), John Elphinstone (’64), Richard Henrichon (63), and Jeffrey Humber (’64). The delegates are chosen each year by Mr. John Hurley on the basis of their interest and aptitude in government. FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA The Ludlow chapter of the Vera B. Wheaton Future Teachers of America Club was chartered on January 14, 1954, as Ludlow High School Club Number 11. The club was named for Mrs. Vera B. Wheaton, a former teacher in the Junior High. The first club sponsor was Miss Olive Brooks, and Diantha Gadaire was the first president. Other presidents have been Sandra Proctor, Augusto De Mirando, Alice Gagne, Joyce Brunelle, Betty Ann Abair, and Jo Anne Diotalevi. The constitution of the Future Teachers of America Club states that its purpose is “to learn about the opportunities in teaching; to cultivate the qualities essential in a good teacher; to study the lives of great teachers; and to foster the development of student leadership.” To further its purposes, the Future Teachers of America Club has had panel discussions, has invited guest speakers to explain teaching, college, and scholarships, has shown films on teaching, and has undertaken many other projects. This year’s FTA officers are Jo Anne Diotalevi (63), president; Rosemary Randall (’63), vice-president; Carol Bolduan (’64), secretary; Nancy Ferreira (’64), treas- urer; Elaine SanSoucie (764), program chairman; Susan Sasur ’64), librarian. The club’s two advisors are Mrs. Philomena Proctor and Mrs. Nancy Georgiou. FUTURE NURSES CLUB The Future Nurses Club of Ludlow was started in 1954 by Miss Olive Brooks. Mrs. Alyce Mae Slosek was the Club’s next advisor for a number of years until Miss Helen Fleming joined the faculty and was appointed to the position. The functions of the Future Nurses Club are numerous. The Club tries to promote an interest in nursing and the allied fields. It informs the student of opportunities open to her in the medical profession, about the various qualified schools and colleges, and about loans and scholarships. The Club also conducts service projects to contribute to the common welfare. Anyone with a firm and sincere interest in the welfare of mankind and who has the marks necessary to qualify for a school of nursing may be a member of the Future Nurses Club. Interest and enthusiasm must be shown. The present student officers are: Mary Ann Kochanek, president; Candace Dynok, vice-president-treasurer; Linda Lever, secretary; Yvonne Letendre and Betty Nietupski, co-chairmen of the Careers in Nursing Committee; Linda Lever and Mary Ann Kochanek, co-chairmen of the Health Education Committee; and Sandra Lucek and Candace Dynok, co-chairmen of the Projects Committee. 102 re J presse pete rd fhe mark ES 1962 JUNIOR PROMENADE LL arama DECORATIONS COMMITTEE PROGRAM COMMITTEE GENERAL CHAIRMAN Elaine Quaglini DREAMY MUSIC! “PROM” KING AND QUEEN AND THE ROYAL COURT King and Queen: Richard Thompson and Judith Humber, Class of 1962 iy : = NANCY TOKARZ AND ESCORT ADMINISTRATORS STEP OUT AND DANCE! 105 1963 SENIOR SHOW COMMITTEES General Chairman, Ricki Henrichon; Faculty Supervisor, Mr. William Mullins; Class President, Gene Baldrate.
