Mr. Francis McCarthy In almost every situation, there are those people who are willing to help others by going above and beyond what they have been called on to do. It is particularly tragic, then, when these so undeserving are called from us. Perhaps, more than anything else, the real tragedy lies in our own fear and sorrow; lies in our own unwillingness to accept the fact that many things still are inevitable, and that we have only to pick ourselves up and carry on. Everything is a circle. Good times will pass by us again — and so will death. And death, too, will pass on again. Let this not sadden or frighten us — but strengthen us to live and to learn from those whose lives, no matter how short, have touched our own.

With wash-cloths, hoses, and pails full of determination, the Freshman class set out almost immediately to tackle the job of getting the class together through a fund-raising project. The Freshman Carwash, then, was the Class’s first activity and a great financial boost. Next, freshmen joined with the sophomores to present the Belchertown Christmas Program for a very special audience one weekday afternoon in December.

Cheerleaders and band members con- ducted a rousing pep rally in front of the school preceding the dance and then led eager students behind the school to burn an effigy of the Long- meadow football team in anticipation of Saturday’s game. Then it was off to the gym, and as “War Horse” played for the enjoyment of the students amid a fall setting of witches and gob- lins, pumpkins and cornstalks, a good time was had by all. (1) Cheerleaders Dorothy Alves, Pam Bruce and Linda Lopes lead an effigy of Longmeadow’s Football team to his fate.

Masters of Ceremo- nies Rick McDaniel and Dennis Anghilante hosted the acts for the first portion of the show while Drew Strong and Bill Rooney took charge for the second. First prize for the best talent act went to the band “Relief” for their rendition of ‘‘Samba Pa Ti” and ‘‘Feelin’ All Right’’. Second place was awarded to Idalina Santos singing and Debbie Salli accompanying on guitar for “Touch Me In The Morn- ing’.

Entitled ‘The Joker Is Wild’’, the dance closed out activities for the 1973 calendar. However, it was just the beginning of things for the Juniors as their first open event proved to be a very profitable one. Against a background of colorful playing cards and psychedelic light- ing, students danced to the enjoyable sounds of ‘’Crazee Jack’’. This dance, coupled with the enthusiasm the Ju- niors showed in organizing it, well- confirmed their abilities in becoming school leaders.

On Tuesday, December 18, the freshmen and soph- omore classes of LHS did just that, presenting a Christmas holiday show for the children of Belchertown State School. Under the direction of Miss Barbara Martucci, Mr. Richard Cotti and Mr. Robert Levine, the students provided an enjoyable afternoon of seasonal songs and laughter to a group of individuals that is too often forgotten. These thoughtful under- classmen are more than capable of fill- ing the shoes of their upperclassmen counterparts. (1) The show would not have been complete without a visit from this jolly man from the North Pole. (2) Members of the cast wait their cues backstage. (3) Freshmen and Sophomores join Frosty in a little song. 76 The week before Christmas was quite a time for holiday merrymaking and cheer. So keeping in tune with the seasonal atmosphere, during the week of December 17, Mrs. Stagnaro’s and Mrs. Patullo’s Child Development Classes celebrated their annual Christmas party for faculty members’ children and the brothers and sisters of students. The children were treated to a day in school by the students and given achance to attend some classes, enrolling in the Freshman Class of 1983. The festivities concluded with a party complete with, of course, Santa Claus, as guest of honor. (1) ‘‘Now, was it two dolls and one doll house or one doll with house and garage?’ (2) Kenny Marby is shocked to see Santa's arrival as sister Barbara and Kim San- tos look on.

Fortunately, the Junior Classical League overcame this obstacle and so on January 27th pre- sented its third annual “All In The Family Night’ Supper in the LHS cafeteria. JCL members, their fam- ilies, and invited guests enjoyed an evening of warmth, good food, and laughter beginning with an Italian- style spaghetti and meatball dinner under candlelight, thanks to the tasty cooking of the Czub family. Guest speaker Paul Metallo, football star of the UMass Minute Men, set the mood of the supper, stressing the impor- tance of parents and a family and bringing everyone there just a little bit closer. Amherst College’s blue-blaz- ered vocalists, the Zumbyes, rounded out the festivities with an entertaining songfest of tunes from yesteryear. (1) The Zumbyes. (2) Guest speaker Paul Me- tallo.

The annual basketball night, sponsored by Maroon Key, offered a series of three games to its viewers, each unique in its own way. Game No. 1 pitted LHS’s frosh team against the Boy’s Club squad in which the freshmen emerged the victors. The second game was more acomedy of errors as Maroon Key members and the cheerleaders double dribbled, travelled, and fouled their way across the court. The girls won fair and square, 19-15, despite overwhelming odds from hockey- gloved, three-legged opponents. In the final game, the Over the Hill Gang matched wits and abilities with the Folks From Around the Bend in the traditional Junior-Senior High faculty contest. The evening was a success and fans as well as players knew they had seen basketball at its best.

For the Seniors, however, it was the culmination of a half year of planning, a month of rehears- als, uncountable hours of dedicated effort, and four years of friends. The Senior Show, ‘‘We Will Never Pass This Way Again” was presented on two nights, February 15th and 16th, to a full house of parents and friends. Thirty-two acts and about 250 seniors made up the show, a marvelous spec- tacle of song and dance, comedy and imagination. The mem- ories and faces it left behind for the Seniors will always be there, and the joy and satisfaction it imparted to them will forever be felt: rehearsals at friends’ homes, at the old Junior High, and the Sunday night rehearsal at the auditorium when we all prayed that the snow outside would keep on falling; the Bicentennial Snow Sculpture, Mr. Andreis’ pa- tience with us, asnowstorm in a nick of time, double-gloves, and four pairs of socks; making costumes and painting props in somebody’s cellar; Senior Show rehearsal sheets in the office and Eligibility Rules; committees to join and The Program to sign; makeup!; singing ‘“This Could Be The Start of Something Big” for the Opening Chorus; giving a special performance for the kids at Belchertown; watching ourselves and our acts on TV in the cafeteria or just waiting for such memorable moments as’ prima ballerina’ Pauze’s grand entrance on stage, Sanford and Son’s ride in the truck, or Preve’s ‘Uh, Uhhh!” in Lifeboat; waiting ‘‘quietly”’ in the corridor before entering the auditorium for the finale; Satur- day night’s singing of ‘‘Somewhere’’; and Uncle Jerry. These memories have made imprints on our minds that will last for years to come, and to the people who made them possible, we can only say a grateful ‘‘thanks’’ — to Mr. Line- han, our fearless director, and his student coordinators, Mel Miller and Dave Marini; to Mr. Layman, Mr. Wrinn, and Mr. Andreis in the Stage Band; to “Mr. Props” himself, Mr. Gay, and the boys in shop; and to the emcees, the ushers and usherettes, the stage, lighting, and prop crew, and the participants — the Senior Class. We, the Seniors, never will pass this way again for our days at LHS are done. But at least we'll know that in the passing, the Class of 1974 made it worthwhile.

All of these set the stage for the Sophomore Banquet as members of the Class of 1976 dressed up to enjoy ‘Times We Can Call Our Own”. The semi-formal dinner-dance took place at the high school on the evening of April 26th beginning with a delicious smorgas- bord of meats, salads, and breads in the cafeteria. From here, it was off to the gym and the music of Cold River. Sophomores slipped off shoes and loosened ties as they wiggled and gy- rated on the dance floor for the re- mainder of the evening. Beyond doubt, a feeling of togetherness pre- vailed, and sophomores could posi- tively say they had a time they could call their own.

Students were intro- duced to the group the previous Fri- day at an assembly held during class time and were immediately impressed, resulting in a large crowd at the Mon- day night performance. The group, sponsored by the Student Council, played selections ranging from Jesus Christ Superstar and Jim Croce to Chicago and the sound of the Fifties. Strobe lights, dancing in the aisles, and great music electrified all those present, providing an enthusiastic audience for this extraordinary group.

Seamstresses Exhibit Creations serpent aon 87 Ludlow High’s superseamstresses had a chance to show their capabilities on the evening of May 22nd as the Home Economics Department sponsored a fashion show at the LHS auditorium, in conjunction with the Ludlow School Systems’ Arts Festival. The students, both of high school and ju- nior high age who were involved in sewing and tailoring classes, modeled their class projects for an audience of parents and friends. Under the super- vision and guidance of Mrs. Partyka, Mrs. Stagnaro, and Mrs. Patullo, the students displayed a variety of cloth- ing, ranging from sportswear to for- mal long dresses. Their selections re- flected both good taste and excellent ability. (1) Modeling twin outfits are Terry Batista and her friend. (2) Betty Bubien exhibits one of her several outfits. (3) Tennis anyone? Debbie Pruchnik models her creation. (4) ‘Hey, there’s a lot of people out there!’’ (5) Lori Gasparini was commentator for a portion of the show. LHS — Home of the Massachusetts Junior Classical League Eastern Massachusetts has long upheld an overpowering dominance of the State JCL Program but such was not the case this year. For the first time in JCL history, a Western Mass. high school served as host of the annual State Junior Classical League Convention. On Saturday morning, May 11th, Ludlow High School proudly welcomed students from all over the state as schools from Austin Prep to Woburn High participated in daylong festivities. Visiting schools were initially greeted by selections from the LHS band and by members of the faculty. Formal addresses by Susan Has- tings, President of the State JCL and Convention Chairman, and invited dignitaries followed in the auditorium, and the Convention officially began, opening with the performance of ‘Voyage of a Wine Dark Sea’”’ by Ludlow JCL members. Guest lectures from Dr. Edward Phinney on Atlantis and Dr. Judith Hallet on ancient sports ensued as well as balot- ting for next year’s state JCL officers. But the highlight of the day came with the academic and athetic competitions pitting the underdog Western Mass. schools against their Eastern Mass. rivals in every event from quiz games to the discus throw. Eastern Mass. won the overall competition but Ludlow’s desire and determination gained her the high- est total of individual school wins, including a decisive vic- tory in the chariot race. New Bedford High’s Stacy Metcalfe was elected state JCL President for 1975 and so the Conven- tion will again return to Eastern Mass. But let it be known: in 1974, Ludlow High School broke tradition.

Freshmen Get Good Start With “Beginnings” Freshmen are always the ‘‘newcom- ers’ in school and, more than not, the “prey of more confident upperclass- men. The evening of May 3rd, howev- er, gave freshmen achance to be themselves by themselves as the Class of 1977 hosted the Freshman Dance, Beginning’. The semi-formal affair was highlighted by the music of ’’ Re- lief’’, as members of this first-year class danced, chatted, or enjoyed the refreshments under the crepe- paper decorations and silver balls. Success could only describe the Freshman Class’ first social event and we wish them the best of luck in the years to come. —- -theeetst welt eesssssal Stssssstesages ost (1) This freshman looks like he’s forgotten more than just his shoes.

Under the direction of general chair- man Stacy Pagos, the pleasant atmo- sphere, fine furnishings, good food, and music provided a charm and en- chantment to the evening that the couples will long remember. May 17th was truly a’’ Dream Within a Dream”’ and especially for Dorothy Alves, as she was crowned Queen of the Prom. haa to 1. (1) Debbie and Kim Esteves help a friend finish his meal.

Y, Yo SH ’ CMe ye ORGANIZATIONS Student Council Benefits School, Community The Student Council, a governing body comprised of repre- sentatives from the four classes, involved itself with com- munity as well as school activities this year. Through the leadership and advice of Mr. Charest, alate bus was ap- proved for the school following two years of struggle. This insured students with after-school activities a ride home. The Council also donated money to the Media Club program for the purchase of new equipment, sponsored two walka- thons for the benefit of Belchertown State School and the Ludlow Ambulance Fund, and collected for Toy for Joy, an agency with buys gifts for children at Christmas time. A rock concert, featuring ‘First Gear” from Orlando, Florida, highlighted the Student Council's s pring activities. “First Gear’ Rock Concert, sponsored by Student Council.

The 1973-74 cheerleading squad, de- spite many unsettling defeats, never lost its enthusiasm and zeal in cheer- ing on Ludlow teams. Under the lead- ership of advisor Miss Dibble, captain Sharon Bergeron, and co-captain Di- ane Donnellan, the squad spent long hours rehearsing new drills and revis- ing old ones for upcoming games. Many of the girls also attended special cheerleading camps to improve their physical condition and endurance. With the help of funds collected from summer bake sales, car washes, and the G.O., the cheerleaders purchased new uniforms for the ‘74 season. The uniforms arrived just in time for Booster Day which featured a Hallow- een pep assembly and the night rally, both by the cheerleaders. The squad also enlisted support at away games by providing buses for students and added a new feature to its s pring ac- tivities — two cheerleaders volun- teered their services as bat girls and score keepers at baseball games. Be- cause of the cheerleaders, spirit is alive and well at LHS. LEFT: VARSITY SQUAD: FLOOR: D. Don- nellan, C. Capt., S. Mastalerx, S. Bergeron, Capt. STANDING: D. Alves, E. Bubien, K. Grano, L.

Fall officially prompts the start of Hi-Y initiations. At this time, anything from cafeteria vocal renditions to a mid-afternoon “‘air raid’’ can be expected as “‘little brothers” obediently undergo the commands of their wily “big brothers’’. But these week- long antics do serve a purpose; they stand to advertise the annual Hi-Y Show in November, a show equally as crazy as the initiations but whose proceeds are used to buy Thanks- giving baskets for the needy of Ludlow. Under the direction of Mr. Chrzan, Hi-Y lives up to its reputation — the zany club with a purpose.

During the two-day convention, Western Mass. students performed all the duties of representatives and sena- tors — from presenting bills to passing legislation. Under advisor Mr. Parent, Ludlow students proposed a bill to limit federal representatives to five consecutive terms. Collectively, the student legislators did perform a feat that their Washington contemporaries did not do — they impeached Presi- dent Nixon. LEFT TO RIGHT: J. Maziarz, B. Davidson, M. Lavoie, M. Goncalves, J. O'Connell, D. Nowak. In 1945, Pro Merito at LHS was a club of seven members whose primary task was “introducing speakers at G.O. programs’’. Twenty-nine years later in 1974, Ludlow’s chapter of the National Honor Society has gained in membership. It has lost every other trait distinguishing it as a club, how- ever, as Pro Merito once again failed to show any signs of life. Without direction, without an advisor, and now without recognition, as academic awards assemblies have been eliminat- ed, outstanding Juniors and Seniors have no outlet for abilities not given to every student. Sadly, Pro Merito has regressed even beyond their 1945 counterparts — into near oblivion. FIRST ROW: J. Shepard, S. Bergeron, D. Wilson, K. Green, L. Fernandes, D. DeSimone, A. Henriques, G.

Stamping books to be taken out, arranging books on shelves in their proper or- der, carrying out the clerical work — all of these are performed by students involved in the group during their study periods. On May 16, members of the Library Aides toured the school libraries at Cathedral, Longmeadow, Wilbraham Junior High, and Minne- chaug to view an assortment of library procedures and different methods of operation. The Library Aides have helped to make the LHS Library a more ef ficient one. pehieeetoaliee : 5 sion SERINE NN SINE niehcherteennancee cetera seeatieccnnl = Mrs. French instructs one of the library aides.

Change appears to be the going trend with the LHS Hi-News these days; alteration of name and format have occured like annual tradition over the past three years. The 1974 edition, similarly, has followed suit but has come up with some success ful changes that promise to be around for some time. With the helpful innova- tions of Mrs. Wojewoda, the Ludlow Hi-News has become the modernized “Write-On”; national and community affairs as well as school news is re- ported in the paper to broaden student awareness; and for each successive issue, anew chief editor is selected from the staff to provide all staff members with the ex perience of news- paper organization. These new changes, together with the best ideas of past newspapers, can make “ Write- On’ a lasting tradition at LHS. FIRST ROW: C. Savoie, M. Teixeira, O. Bernardo, D. Lind, J. Pancotti, R. Nowak.

For the first time in this once male- oriented club, the Maroon Key opened its doors to the gentler sex as three senior girls joined its ranks. Students qualify for admission to the club based on points earned from partici- pation in athletics and or honor roll status. Accumulating enough points through academic achievement, girls’ sports, and cheerleading, advisors Mr. Connery, Mr. Yando, and Mr. Malek could only welcome the girls to the club. Activities for the year included presenting trophies to senior athletes at end-of-year ceremonies, keeping order at all home games, and the an- nual Maroon Key-Cheerleader Benefit Basketball Game. The Annual Cheerleader-Maroon Key Benefit Basketball Game. 102 . Student Patrol Directs Hall Traffic The end of aclass period can be a hec- tic situation: 1500 students jam the halls at the sound of a bell, in search of lockers, books, and friends. For- tunately, LHS has taken steps to alle- viate mass confusion with the Student Patrol. Under the jurisdiction of the Student Council and advisors Mr. Charest and Mr. Cavallo, the all-se- nior Student Patrol arrives and de- parts from classes two minutes earlier (usually) to take up stations in con- gested hallways and crowded stair- wells. With their help, members of the Patrol have kept traffic going from class to class easily and without delay. OE ae FIRST ROW: M. Andre, D. Marini, Capt., S. Hastings, E. Rozkuszka, J. Brockney, K.

But as club advisor Mr. Bradshaw and the E bN A! OVINE first ‘annual’ JCL Assembly foretold, this organization was just beginning. Today, six years and seventy students later, it boasts a membership of 100 strong with a full schedule of activities to match. Several lectures by invited speakers have been presented throughout the year. Dr. Edward Phinney spoke on the origin of the Zodiac and ‘‘The Exorcist”; atalk on health care in the ancient world featured a slide show; and Dr. Judith Hallett discussed the degradation of women by the English language. ‘All in the Family’ Night was held in late January while Spring ushered in the sixth JCL As- sembly, ‘’ Voyage on a Wine-Dark Sea’. Ludlow JCL also hosted the State Convention, an honor never before given to a Western Mass. school. The year climaxed with a trip to Hampton Beach and later to Lamie’s Tavern for the club’s final meeting. Rain and fog prevented much swimming but could not lessen the spirits of those who attended.

In the two years of its existence, students, many of them once unskilled in the area of electronics, have acquired the experience necessary to operate and repair IV cameras, movie projectors, lighting equipment, and sound appa- ratus. They have also taped television programs for school use, handled lighting and audio portions of other functions, and filmed the Bicentennial Beauty Pageant and Incorporation Day ceremonies, aired over the local cable TV station. Under the guidance of Mr. Gay and Mr. Andreis, the AVA has advanced greatly, but lack of funds and a full-time director has cur- tailed some of its activities. Perhaps next year it will reach its full potential. ABOVE: Tom Belisle and Bill Peacey set up equipment as co-advisor Mr. Andreis checks the audio portion during taping of Incorporation Day. LEFT: S.

For instance, this year’s Lion became the first yearbook in the area to have an all-color Senior Portrait section; Seniors did have to pay for their yearbooks as a result, but the investment proved worthwhile. Also, the size of the book stepped up in dimension, going from an 8x10 volume to a 9x12. Ludlow’s Bicentennial Celebration prompted the start of a whole new section, Community Affairs. This particular section, besides recapping important events on Ludlow’s 200th birthday, hopes to increase awareness of the student-citizen interaction in the community. Little changes appeared here and there besides the more obvious ones: senior portraits were moved to the very front of the book while the Faculty section was moved to the back; Academics increased not only in size but also content, providing readers with a more accurate view of school life at LHS; and Athletics saw a good deal of change as its size was decreased as never before. Hopefully, these changes have helped to make a better yearbook. More than a year of writing, picture-taking, lay-outs, and correcting, worry, restless nights, deadlines, and sore ty ping-fingers are now over for the Staff of the 1974 Lion. It has been a lot of hard work, but it’s been a lot of fun, too. We only hope through the Lion, we have captured for you at least some of the memories of LHS.

Performances, Competitions In September, many visible signs indicated that the 1973-74 high school vocal groups would need more than just time if they were to equal successful choruses of preceding years. With the arrival of its first public appearance, however, at the annual Christmas Concert, little doubt could remain as to the advancements made since the beginning of the year. The feature, Vivaldi’s ‘’Gloria’’, resounded like musical clockwork while a varied selection of seasonal tunes echoed a Christmas spirit. Director Mr. Gregory Wrinn and his hard- working vocalists had transformed dull choruses into harmonious musical machines. From here on, the work became pleasure — the popular Chorale sang for area groups and churches and was heartily invited back for the next year; individual singers distinguished themselves, being chosen in exceptionally large numbers to District and All- State Choruses; all choral groups were main attractions at the Bicentennial Arts Festival; and a record of the groups’ outstanding renditions was made to remember a tremendous year. All good things, though, must come to an end. The 1974 choral groups finished their successful year in tears as Concert Choir regretfully bid farewell to its senior members at Graduation with ‘Onward Ye People’ and the traditional ‘The Lord Bless You And Keep You”.

Majorettes And Color Guard Flavor Marching Band The scoreboard shows time has just run out for the second quarter of the football game and that could only mean one thing — the start of halftime activities led by the LHS Color Guard and Majorettes. The girls who compose these squads have devoted hours of practicing routines both on their own time and with the marching band to present these shows and their efforts have certainly paid off. Besides performing at Saturday football games, the girls have marched and twirled in Memorial Day and Bicentennial parades. Jeanne Chenier, an outstanding member of the majorettes, exhibited her baton-twirling abilities during a special ‘’Pops’’ Assembly held at the high school auditorium.

Gains World Recognition 117 Ludlow is a small town and its high school is relatively small in comparison to the numbers attending other regional schools. The quality of education here, however, is far from small. This is exemplified through the accomplishments of the Ludlow High School Band under direction of Mr. Royce Layman. With much practice and individual instruction, the band has proven its abilities many times, performing at football halftime shows, concerts, and music festivals. In January, the band presented concerts to students and towns people featuring many ‘‘Pops”’ tunes. LHS band members and their families housed the Cornell Marching Band, visiting Ludlow for a performance. At the State Competition at U-Mass, the band received many complements from judges for its excellence in music and march formation. The greatest praise given to the band, however, has been the invitations it has received. This has resulted in performances at the JCL State Convention, Ludlow’s Inauguration Day Ceremonies, and three parades in honor of Memorial Day and West Springfield and Ludlow’s Bicentennials. The best invitation is yet to be acted upon. In July of 1975, the LHS Band will visit Vienna, Austria, as one of the U.S. representatives to the International Youth and Music Festival. Ludlow is a small town but it is students like these who will keep it from being unknown. (1) Mr. Layman presents an imposing figure as the band conductor.

The result was a thoroughly pleasant blend of fine acting and good humor, which could not have been complete without the careful and considerate direction of Mrs. Suzanne Kelley. Props for the production, beautifully designed and created by members of the cast, also lent a touch of class and quality to the production. (1) Millie over Pandora’s knee.

Ludlowites Invade Mediterranean On April 11, thirty-six local residents including 17 Ludlow High students began a unique Easter vacation as the group winged its way to Spain, Portugal, and Africa. Organized and chaperoned by faculty member Mr. James Martin, the week-long Mediterranean tour opened with a bus ride to Logan International Airport in Boston where the group boarded a Luxurious Iberian Airlines jumbo jet for the flight to Spain. Spain proved to be one of the most picturesque spots on the agenda as the students and townspeople absorbed the beauty of Madrid and attended Good Friday religious ceremonies there. The scenic walled city of Toledo was also visited as well as the Spanish Riviera where some members of the tour soaked up sun on beautiful Mediterranean beaches while others viewed the brutal savagery of aclassic Spanish bullfight. From Spain, it was off to the shores of Africa, with much excitement — a ferry provided the transportation making its way down the Spanish coast, across the breathtaking Strait of Gibraltar, and finally landing at Tangier, Morocco. Portugal was the last stop for the local travellers which included on excursion to the Algarve, southern Portugal’s renowned beach resorts, and to the capital, Lisbon, and its quaint sidewalk cafes and discotheques. The trip ended all too soon and the reluctant group was homeward bound by April 19th. (1) Cathelal in Spain. (2) Students enjoy a dance ina Spanish discotheque.

Students Make Bicentennial Seals Room 107 was acenter of activity on the nights of May 6-8 as a group of students from Mr. Burns’ Art and Mrs. Kowalczyk’s History classes worked hard to produce Bicentennial Seals for the celebration of Ludlow’s 200th birthday. The completed authentic replicas of the town’s official seal were created by stamping posterboard through the use of asilkscreen process. These were then distributed to all town elementary school classrooms and junior and senior high history classes for display. Mr. Burns and Mrs. Kowalczyk directed the project with the help of freshman Jeffrey Teixeira who obtained the necessary materials for the silk-screening. This project was jointly funded by the Ludlow Teachers Association and the School Department. Students involved in the creation of the seals were awarded the completed seals for their hard work.

V2 “Voyage on a Wine- Dark Sea’”’ Never Better At Ludlow High School on May 8, 9, 10, and 11, members of the Junior Classical League presented the sixth annual assembly, entitled ‘’ Voyage on a Wine Dark Sea’’. The performance centered around the graduating class as Senior leads Barbara Mucha, Mary Jo Curto, Bill Rooney, and Mike Mazaferro portrayed students at the Senior Banquet faced with the fact that after four years in the same school, they were strangers to each other. Choice of curriculum had separated them but this was hardly a sound reason for dissociation, and so four seniors found themselves honestly wishing it was just the Freshman Dance and not the Senior Banquet. “Voyage on a Wine Dark Sea”’, under the direction of Mr. Bradshaw and assistants James Marceau, Susan Mazza, Anne Marie Czub, and student advisor Joyce Dinelle, brought across to its audiences a lesson pertinent to all. Through the use of slides, movies, individual performances, and the voices of the JCL Singers, students, and especially seniors, realized life is not meant to be glided through like a ship over the sea. Instead, one must taste of the wine dark sea’ on which he is sailing by not being oblivious to the world around him — by being aware of fellow classmates; of the senseless plight of animals, indicated in the movie ‘Ben’; and of the even more tragic abuse of children, depicted in a scene from ‘Medea’. But as the hilarious “Nero” skit suggested, neither should life be taken so seriously that it boggs us down with its problems. If one is able to cope with life along these lines, as Socrates once courageously accepted his death, then he shall face the future well; if he is yet incapable of this, then, as the closing arrangement of the assembly implied, he must ‘‘Leave a Little Room and Start Again”.

NM em i: 2 in Arts Festival The Ludlow Public School Arts Festival was held May 21-23 at Ludlow High School as part of the Bicentennial celebration for 1974. Town students participated in the many facets of fine arts dis played at the arts festival: folk dancing and singing, school choruses and bands, fashion shows, and theatrical productions as well as art exhibits and demonstrations put on by students from grades 2-12. The public was invited to attend any high school classes during the day dealing with the arts along with the festival itself, free of charge. The Arts Festival was a tremendous success and whether one was participant or observer, all found it an enjoyable way to pass the time. a“ ees A . (1,2) Some of the art work on display.

Playoffs .. . The LHS booters had their ups and downs this year, finishing the season with a 10-6 record in regular season play. Initially, the Lion squad had a firm start, winning its first 3 games — 2 close decisions and an overwhelming victory over the Westfield Club. But from here on in, losses began to filter into the score charts. After a disappointing 1-0 loss to Tech, the Lions soon faced rival West Springfield who proved too forceful an adversary, defeating the Ludlow club by a wide 4-1 margin. The Lion squad added sev- eral more wins to its plus column but continued defeats by soccer rivals West Side and Chicopee and loss of confidence in abilities that certainly were there proved to be Ludlow’s biggest handicap. Injuries also plagued the team, taking starting goalie Rick Leite and defenseman Tony Martins out at the height of the season. Nevertheless, the Ludlow booters overcame all other opponents and gained a berth in Western Mass. post-season play, decisively beating Cathedral 4-1 in the 1st round. The second round with West Side, however, was a disappointment as Ludlow could not overcome its arch rival and so lost 2-0. Coach Raymond Yando was satisfied with his squad this year, particularly with his seniors — the backbone of the team, the play makers. They included Bob Saloio, Joe Chaves, Tony Mar- tins, Dennis Anghilante, Rick Leite, Tony Pina, Brian Rodrigues, and Greg Santos. High scoring senior and team Captain Frank Fonseca, and Junior Louis Cacela were particularly outstanding, gaining positions on the all Western Mass. team and on the All- League team, respectively. The JV’s compiled a similar record, rounding out the season 9-5-2 under Coach James Marceau.

The Lions really had two seasons this year as the Ludlow squadsmen compiled a 3-5-1 record, losing four of five games in the first half and winning 3 out of 4 in the second. The Lions exhibited much enthusiasm during preseason play, but it was the inconsistency of the offensive line up to mid-season that produced few touchdowns and defeat, even though Ludlow’s defense shone as it has from year to year. The Booster Day game, however, proved to be the turning point for the Lions. Ludlow lost the game, but for the first time in the season, league-champion East Longmeadow knew they were in a football game. More importantly, the Lions knew they were playing the kind of football they were capable of. Coaches and players sensed a new feeling of unity and team spirit, sparked by the leadership of co- captains Craig Savoie, Jim Gilrein, and Barry Linton. The Lions began to tire in the second half and the Spartans a run for their money, and from here on in, the Lions played heads-up football. The Holyoke-Catholic Gaels were the first victims of the new Ludlow team, as the Lion offense and defense ‘‘clicked”’ together as a single unit, scoring three TD’s in a 26-2 triumph. This was a staisfying win for the Lions but also costly; many key players either missed the following game completely, or played with injuries. This accounted for the Lion defeat by South Hadley. But the following Saturday, Ludlow rebounded against Classical in an extremely aggressive game, beating the Bulldogs for the first time in eight years, 6-0. The peak of the season came on Thanksgiving Day as the Lions went out in style, handily defeating the Turkey Day rivals of Palmer, 22-0, before a record crowd of nearly 4000 on home territory. Coach Jason Thompson’s Lions of the JV squad closed out their year with a 3-4-1 record. ee Ne Longmeadow. Minnechaue™ ore (1) Ludlows defense swarms Spartan ball carrier.

Leadership Too Large a Responsibility for One Man This year’s cross-country team was a bit of a disappointment, coming up with a season record of 1-12. Although Ludlow’s runners were unable to put together any more than one win, they lost over half of their meets by six points or less, which shows how deceiving a record can be. The main reason for the team’s dismal score chart could probably be exemplified by the fact that only one senior ran with the all— underclassmen squad — captain Carl Smith. In any sport, seniors are the backbone of a team, the natural leaders. Without them, direction, and frequently ability, is hampered. In lieu of this, however, Coach Larivee can look to the immediate future with hope in promising runners Junior John Scheurich and Sophomore Mark Heins. The JV’s enjoyed a better season with three wins and five losses. @ Southwick , Te. 7 East Longmeadow 5 Win . i ¢ ¥4 4 64% € ; a a a fe Ot oe ESOT Ss hax 0 CF OF ESS (1) Sophomore splendor Mark Heins was Ludlow’s 1 runner this year.

Size and inexperience, however, accounted for the majority of losses. For instance, most players stood in the 5’5’’ range and lacked stocky builds, making them open prey for vicious punish- ment from the opposition. Also, the bulk of the team was com- prised of juniors and sophomores, as well as some freshmen. Sev- eral skaters were seeing their first year of varsity play. Only se- niors on the squad were co-captains Jeff Cristina and Keith Sa- voie and Mickey Szydlowski. And though their abilities on the ice were greatly appreciated and will be missed next year, their efforts could not be expected to carry the weight of the whole team. The Lions did have one bright-spot. During mid-season play, the Lion squad overcame heavily-favored and top ranked Amherst by a score of 6-1, an upset that proved Ludlow’s capabilities. Unfor- tunately, it was an out-of-league game. Coach Richard Malek will have several returning players to work with on next year’s squad, including Jeff McChesney, Wayne Cristina, Tommy Petrolati, Deane Lombardi, Jim Mastalerz and Jamie Dorval. The JV record stood at 6-4-5. In all, Ludlow’s hockey squad was more of an individual team — the players were good skaters with an edge for speed. But it was their stick handling and inability to work as a passing team that hurt them. If these flaws could be worked out, Ludlow could pro- duce a winning squad.

Ten seniors initially made this year’s squad, accounting for much zeal and thoughts of better days ahead. But after eight games, the Lion Hoopsters were still winless, forcing Coach Connery into making the greatest decision he has ever made in his career as head coach. Amid upperclass- men dissatisfaction, he cut seven seniors from the team — leaving Peter Ostrosski, Kerry Alves, and Rick L’Heureux — and brought up three talented Juniors from the JV’s as re- placements. This move was a hopeful one but the Lions con- tinued to go winless. Coach Connery’s decision could be an important one for next season, however, as more candidates for the ‘75 team will have had varsity experience. With this thought in mind, the future Lions may be on their way to a winning season. Junior varsity under Coach William Kolodziey also fell into a slump with a 1-18 record. acme 4 ; Ludlow Opponent Westfield = 44 70 West Springfield 2Ssine 53 Chicopee ™ | 58 81 Classical : 79 85 � South Hadley 40 79 Minnechaug) 42 65 East Longmeadow 50 64 Longmeadow _ 38 60 Agawam 42 49 South Hadley i Minnechaug � East Longmeadow Longmeadow oN giao! eel oh opal a col tl lest a) alleen (1) Coaches Connery and Kolodziey have a few words with the team.

Determination Benefits the Girls The Ludlow Seals, under Coach Joan Libby, started the season with an exceptional record, unmatched by Lion sports squads this year. Winning 6 of its first 7 games, the Seals appeared as though they might go all the way to the Western Mass. Crown for not only was their brand of ball well-played, but was also exciting and left plenty of room for tense moments — like the 56-54 victory over a tough South Hadley team, with a quick shot at the buzzer by Cheryl Pawlin, or even more, the narrow 51-49 win over Longmeadow in double overtime. Unfortunately, though, as had been the case on most Lion teams, lack of height took its toll and the Seals closed out their season dropping 8 of their last 9 games. But the Seal’s earlier efforts and reputation for dogged determination did not go unrewarded — the varsity squad was asked by special invitation to play in the Western Mass. Tourney and though the Ludlow Hoopsters lost to a strong Taconic team, the experience was half the pleasure. Joyce Dinelle, only Senior on this year’s squad, captained the Seals. Returning underclassmen Lisa Golden, Chery] Pawlin, Nancy Lewicki, Jean Glen and Sherry Robitaille should make for a strong team next year. The Junior Varsity Seals had a 6-6 record.

Inability to Score Runs Hurts Lion ““Green Team” The pre-season analysis for the Lion baseball squad was that their satisfactory pitching, above-average defense, and yet- questionable hitting capabilities would reveal the outcome of the Lion season. But as it turned out, shown by a7-11 record, Ludlow had an even greater problem than hitting — lack of experience. This year’s team was the youngest and least experienced in recent years. The squad started just two seniors, save Jim Rooney and Tom Griffin, both pitchers. Throughout the season, the green’”’ Lion squad made many mental mistakes on the field as well as on the basepaths. Although this turned out to be Ludlow’s number one set- back, the squad’s lack of hitting also plaued a crucial role in the end. Despite these problems, Ludlow did manage to put it all together on several occasions. At one point, the Lions knocked South Hadley out of first place and on the following day, the Ludlow Nine upset the new league leaders, Minnechaug. Co-captains Tom Griffin, Frank Novelli, and Tony Fernandes exemplified the areas of leadership and desire-to-win, and, hopefully, this may have set the stage for the now-experienced team next season and in seasons to come. it The JV Lions with Coach Robert Suchecki split their season, going 8 and 8. : | ‘ { Classical ay Westfield NY : Minnec 2 =.

Tourney. In previous years, the girls played in T-shirts and cut-offs, but were provided this year with full uniforms, a move stimulated by Ludlow’s Bicentennial celebration. The Seals retained all of their 1973 squad so that talent and experience already awaited the ‘74 team. Coach Libby and her players were then able to take to the field with confidence and, as a result, success: five girls — Cheryl Pawlin, Nancy Lewicki, Lisa Kyjek, Jean Glen, and Joyce Dinelle — averaged over .500 in the batting department; and a strong defense, managed to get out of many jams with sparkling double-plays and alert pick-offs. The girls entered tournament play against Hampshire Regional with great potential. Unfortunately, however, once in play, pressure got the better of the Seals and they began missing minor plays, such as routine flies, Ludlow bowed out, 13-12, but not until eight innings had gone by. As for 1975, the outlook is bright once again for the Seals. They lose only two players, senior captain and catcher Joyce Dinelle and senior co-captain, Carolyn Bushey, a left-fielder. ; _ Ludlow Opponent © � Minnechaug 5 oS 9 LC South Hadley 12 3 Ww East Longmeadow Ww on W.

If They Only Had a Track of Their Own The three wins and eight losses the Lion harriers received this year don’t serve them justice. Many meets were lost by only a few points. In addition to this, Ludlow trackmen are still operating without facilities of their own, thus forcing them to play every meet.away. The team, coached by Mr. Larivee and Mr. Szlosek, had outstanding leadership under a senior dominated squad, and to prove this point, Ludlow won more meets this year than it has ever won before. Even though they don’t havea track, Ludlow’s outstanding athletes didn’t go unnoticed as over a half dozen boys competed in the Western Mass. finals while four trackmen made it to the state finals at UMass. They were the one mile relay team, consisting of Ed Hageman, Lance Mills, John Scheurich and Bill Golden. Bill Golden also competed in the 440 yard dash at the state finals. Track has been steadily improving at Ludlow, and hopefully, the trend will continue for seasons to come. ay Gee 6 ey x eat ae ys iz . x : ee eo OG Ludlow © Opponent « DS At oe Crponent aE Ne tines die dan, dis eas tone Eepsmeadoy NY VS3Y% SY YY 9% J pgayam J é, ee A , SY NS he fr : St� A � Palmer Saf ‘ z y “ ns , 68.

Young Team Looks to the Future The Lion golf team had a good start this year losing their first match by only one point, followed by wins in the next two, a decisive 12-6 victory over Southwick and aclose 92-842 win over Longmeadow. However, Ludlow then dropped the next five in a row before winning another match. From here on in, defeats weighed heavily in the loss column, costing the Lions 11 losses and only 4 wins with one tie during season play. Golf, like many other Lion teams, has had a lack of experience, but Ludlow is looking forward to good times. Although golf isn’t the most popular of spectator sports, it is strong in the competitive department and with this young team, the Lions are hopeful that there will be a change in the record for the better. Coach Richard Malek hopes to see many strong performances coming from next year s captain Jim Mitus and Sophomore Greg Orlik. Ludlow Opponent Agawam 8Y2 9% Ee Southwick “2 6 W. Longmeadow 92 8Y% W.

OMMUNITY AFFAIRS More and more, school and community have come to realize the potential each possesses in providing service, education, and entertainment for the benefit of a ll. As a result, the Lion Staff has devoted a section of its yearbook to indicate this interaction between students and townspeople. Ludlow’s Bicentennial this year has particularly supplied several opportunities for this, as both student and citizen groups have joined in the _ yearlong celebration.

Miss Ludlow Pageant Reinstated On November 10, 1973, the Miss Ludlow Bicentennial Pageant took place in the L.H.S. Auditorium, marking the beginning of a series of events celebrating the Town of Ludlow’s 200th Birthday. Miss America 1973, Terry Anne Meeuwsen, served as Mistress of Ceremonies, captivating the audience with her outgoing personality and charm. A standing ovation from the capacity crowd at her introduction was a tribute to Miss Meeuwsen’s talent, grace and beauty. The professional singing of Vivien Ziemian and Joseph Tomaselli, together with the musical direction of Charles Miller, also added a touch of class to the affair. The highlight of the evening, though, was the crowning of Miss Ludlow Bicentennial. Twelve girls, all of Ludlow and most either students at the high school or former graduates of L.H.S., competed for the honor, matching beauty, talent, and poise across an elegantly decorated stage. With the balloting of the judges complete, Miss Meeuwsen and Mrs. Rita Podsadowski, General Pageant Chairman, presented the title to Miss Irene Saloio, a 1972 Ludlow graduate. Her court included Diane Neill, Holly Warner, Diane Donnellan, and Anita Spadoni, Miss Saloio was the recipient of the Miss Congeniality Award as well, an honor she also received at the Miss Massachusetts Pageant.

Members of the club kicked off the evening with a chicken dinner, prepared and served by themselves. Mr. Fernao Rodrigues, President of the Boosters, extended a warm welcome to all those present before turning over the second half of the program to Emcee Mr. William Rooney, former Vice Principal at L-H.5. Speeches from varisty coach, Mr. Ray Yando, J.V. coach, Mr. James Marceau, Ludlow athletic director, Mr. Arthur Serra, and a talk on the umpiring of a game from guest speaker, Peter Meltzer were all included in the second portion. In appreciation of their efforts on the soccer field, the Boosters awarded trophies to all team members, with Frank Fonseca, all Western Mass. pick, receiving the Most Valuable Player Award for the 1973-74 Ludlow soccer season. The players, however, were not the only ones recognized. Coach Y ando was presented with a gift from his soccer team for the patience, care and concern he never failed to show them. Varsity cheerleaders were also awarded trophies for the support and enthusiasm they provided at all home and away games.

Music Society Appreciates Local Talent Vocal and instrumental music at Ludlow High School has taken on a refreshingly new quality under the direction of Mr. Gregory Wrinn and Mr. Royce Layman. Invitations to | perform at various events and high ratings at competitions only stand to show the appreciation so many feel towards these men and the students they conduct. As a symbol of their gratitude for a job well done, members of the Ludlow Music Society sponsored a smorgasbord banquet for the L.H.S. Concert Choir, band and their directors at the school cafeteria in November. Those present enjoyed an assortment of foods and treats, after which Music Society President, Mrs. Benjamin Mazur, officially greeted the students. Marian Andre, president of the band, also spoke, followed by vice-president Scott Symington, who introduced the senior class members. After the band ballot of the senior class was posted, members of the band and concert choir danced to the music of the Tunesmen.

High School Hosts “Incorporation Day” More than two centuries ago, settlers began arriving on an untamed tract of land near the Chicopee River in the southwestern portion of Massachusetts. Known only then as the Outward Commons, the land belonged to Springfield, seven miles to the west. About twenty-five years later, however, possessing the same sense of independence that their countrymen were to uphold in the Revolution, the settlers of Ludlow, as it was now called, had their land officially declared a district and then an independent town. This occurred two hundred years ago, on February 28, 1774. On this same date in 1974, Ludlow held its Incorporation Day ceremonies at the L.H.S. auditorium, celebrating the town’s 200th birthday. Invited dignitaries, town officials, local citizens, school administrators, faculty, and members of the junior and senior classes attended and participated. Several students acted as ushers and uherettes while the high school band offered stirring renditions of ‘The Star Spangled Banner,” and ‘The Battle Hymn of the Republic.” Concert Choir also sang two selections during the course of the program. A series of speeches and presentations headlined the ceremonies. Marian Andre, Student Council President, read the official Town Charter; Mr. James Martin, of the Ludlow Education Association, gave a unique address on Ludlow’s history, using slides to compare the town’s past and present; and Representative Steve Chmura presented the town’s original 200 year old charter to Board of Selectmen Chairman, Mr. Robert Koss. The main address came from Congressman Edward P. Boland, in which he stressed a lasting tribute in the U. S. system of government. David Marini of the Student Advisory Board read the appropriate concluding message, a message written by Ludlow inhabitants during the town’s centennial celebration. It stated ““we send them happy greetings across the intervening space of the century to come.” (1)Honorary Guest at Incorporation Day, Congressman Edward P. Bo- land.

The tournament, held each year alternately in U.S. and Canadian college towns, was specially granted to Ludlow this year in celebration of its Bicentennial. Townspeople housed the visiting Pee Wees, providing transportation and all the comforts of home to the hockey players in the 8-10 age group. The tournament officially got underway at the Olympia Ice Sports Center in West Springfield with a touching opening ceremony, followed by a 2-day, 16-game series, matching American teams against Canadian teams. Friendship proved to be the spirit of the competition, though, as teams and townspeople alike enjoyed the meet. In keeping with this theme of friendship, all scores have never been recorded.

LYVERY AV yous pit ’’Winged Victory’ On the night of April 27, 1974, the Winged Victory Singers with the Tony Bruno Orchestra made their grand entrance on the L.H.S. stage to the delight of Ludlow audiences. Presented by the Bicentennial Committee, the all-male singing group danced and sang their way through a beautifully executed show, thanks to the direction of Joe Baris, and soloist, Norman Brody. The Singers performed several numbers including cuts from “Fiddler on the Roof” and ‘Hello Dolly.’’ One of the features of the evening was a duet presented by Norman Brody and Miss Bicentennial, Irene Saloio. Tony Bruno and his orchestra were also a standout, particularly as Mr. Bruno amazed the audience with his masterful skills at the piano, accordion, and xylophone. A song and dance routine by the Singers saluting George M. Cohan with a variety of nationality songs and tunes of the United States was a spectacular finale to the performance, drawing a much deserved standing ovation from the crowd. y OF cl ate SIS Late ie ’Performs At LHS (1) Member of the Tony Bruno Orchestra shows his talents on the clarinet.

The twenty minute lecture, given to about ten groups of students, concentrated on the origin of Ludlow’s geographical boundaries and sights. Mr. McChesney used maps of Ludlow in 1774, and 1974 to show some interesting facts. For instance the town outline hasn’t changed in its 200 year existence and the present main roadways, East and Center Streets, have always been the principal arteries in Ludlow. A question and answer period followed concluding the lecture. (1) Mr. McChesney in his talk to history classes concerning the past of Ludlow. (2) Town Historian, Mr. McChesney, pointed out the patterns of Ludlow’s early development and settlement. (3) One of the groups at the lecture.

Ludlow’s population hovers around the 18,000 mark, but on Sunday, June 23, 1974, this figure increased more than 6 times as an estimated 125,000 people jammed its streets. The cause of the commotion was none other than the Bicentennial Parade, a fabulous affair of floats, clowns and marchers. Starting at the corner of East and Chapin Streets promptly at 1 P.M., the parade proceeded down East and Center through the heart of town, cheered on by hoards of people lining sidewalks, second story windows, and rooftops. Approximately 35 floats and 35 marching bands from all over the state participated. Town officials, police and fire departments, high school bands, social and church clubs, mounted patrols, boy scouts, girl scouts, and Melha Shriners, all representing various towns and communities, came to march in the parade, honoring Ludlow. Rene Bousquet, Chairman of the Bicentennial Committee and of the Parade, also obtained some special features for the affair. The “Mummers” String Band of Philadelphia, regular marchers at the Rose Bowl Parade, donned full dress costumes to play to enthusiastic crowds, despite overcast skies; and the majestic eight- horse hitch of the Budwieser Clydesdales beat out a rhythm on streets that had never heard the likes of them before. Some three and one half hours later, the parade dispersed at the Big Y parking lot and the afternoon finally came to an end. But for some very special inhabitants of a very special town, 18,000 people were glad to be a part of the pride of small town America for at least one afternoon.

Committees have been formed where by students voice their opinion on school situations. For instance, one administrator, two teachers, and four seniors oversee the granting or removal of Senior Privileges; Student Council officers frequently meet with Mr. Hurley and his assistants to state changes needed at LHS; and students on the Study Advisory Committee have worked with the town school committee in the past to suggest new school policy. By giving students a hand in the operation of their school, LHS’s administrators have succeeded in an effective high school.

Course selections, college choices, scholarship applications, life ambitions — all are managed by the Guidance faculty members. Programs such as Career Day and the annual Job Fair have opened up new horizons for students and often supplied them with employment in an area of their liking. The Alternative Education Program has been es pecially successful in detering the rate of dropouts. It has allowed exceptional students to leave school before May 15th by having them take only the required courses at high school before switching in mid-day to a local college for career courses. Starting next September, this program will be open to all students, college-prep, commercial, and industrial. All students will be given the opportunity to search for a relative education as well as acquire career ex posure before leaving high school.

Under School Psychologist Mr. Albert Bail, the Special Education Department has been designed to assist students in adapting to society. Courses concentrating on useful skills, such as sewing, foods, physical education, child development, and metal and wood shops, are primarily stressed to insure a student's practical abilities for the future. Provisions have also been made to aid non-speaking students at Ludlow High School. The bi-lingual department helps students with classwork difficulties in this field.

Under it, 11th and 12th graders choose two semester courses of their liking in place of the traditional Junior and Senior English classes. This move has allowed students a greater variety of courses to choose from, as well as satisfied their own particular needs and interests.

Black American History, Anthropology, and Non-Western World were introduced as electives for 11th and 12th graders. Various guest speakers throughout the course of the year also stimulated a fresh interest in Social Studies. A probation officer spoke on the duties of an officer; a detective from the Ludlow Police Department gave a talk on criminal justice; and Black American History classes hosted a speaker for its students. Field trips to the Hampden County Registry of Deeds, the Probate Court, and Superior Court in Springfield provided government students with an understanding of judicial procedures. Upperclassmen also participated in assuming the roles of government officials once again with the annual Student Government Day in Boston and the M odel Congress held at AIC. Junior Stacy Pagos was chosen Student Government Day Representative this year.

This included all courses from freshman algebra to analytic trig and a full year of calculus for advanced students. Applied and Shop Math gave general students an opportunity to develop skill with mathematics, while Business Math geared commercial students to a career in the business. The Math Department will unfortunately be losing one of its dedicated members in September.

The popular German | from the preceding year expanded to a German II. Classics in Everyday Life, a new Latin course, provided non-college prep students with a view of the ancient world; and an Independent Study program was offered in French V. Members of the German Club traveled to New York City to view German life there, while French students took a similar trip in the Spring. Latin IV moved to the Junior High every Friday to teach acquired knowledge and interpretations of Roman and Greek mythology to 7th graders. French, German and Spanish classes sang at the May Arts Festival, and a spectacular flight to the Mediterranean highlighted many Language students’ Easter vacation. Next year hopes to bring more of the same activity as there is already spectulation of a new course offered in Portuguese or Italian. . = ie ss oe Sinclar ttl ee le RO MEE SS cul a ee (1) Mr. Bradshaw and Judy Dinelle in Latin II.

Drawing, painting, print-making, sculpture, and ceramic pottery projects have been displayed in the school showcases many times, and with great approval. The Art Major, acourse open only to seniors with previous art experience and a minimum B average, helped students prepare a portfolio for application to colleges or technical schools and allowed them further understanding of technical skills. Some Art students also collaborated in producing the silk-screen Bicentennial Seals. Under director Mr. Gregory Wrinn, Ludlow once again produced three excellent vocal groups — Chorale, Concert Choir, and Girls’ Chorus, each one performing for various groups and concert audiences. The large number of vocalists chosen to attend District and All-State Choruses signified Ludlow’s outstanding ability and skill. All three groups also performed at the Arts Festival in May to the delight of many listeners. The LHS Marching and Concert Band, with Mr. Royce Layman conducting, also enjoyed a satisfactory year, drawing many invitations to perform at parades, halftime shows and Bicentennial celebrations. In the State Competition at the University of Massachusetts, the band received high praise for its fine display in music and march formation. As a special honor, the LHS band has been asked to serve as a U.S. representative at the International Youth and Music Festival. This will take place in July of 1975 in Vienna, Austria.

Boys’ and girls’ classes were split and combined to share archery or badminton programs for 6 ¥2 week periods. Regular classes, however, remained pretty much static. For the boys, team sports and individual sports continued to be emphasized. A full unit of field hockey was included for senior boys as the sport remained a popular attraction. New equipment was also purchased for it. Similarly, girls’ classes followed a regular program of basketball, hockey, flag football, and volley-ball. Mrs. Libby taught classes in self- defense, followed by bicycling in the springtime. The gymnastics program was expanded, using movies to teach technique and after-school workouts to improve style. Intramural sports programs were also enlarged to take in more students interested in tennis, volleyball, basketball, and field hockey. aoe (1) Replacements await their turn in a game.

Food for the Family, a one-semester course open to Seniors with no previous pre-requisite courses, was especially popular with the boys this year. A party at the end of the year found both male and female members of the class preparing a full-course meal, to quite a degree of success. Tailoring and Dress Design, both half-year offerings, continued to be renewed and revised. Sewing students became acquainted with the finer details in constructing coats and jackets, as well as how to make an original pattern out of newspaper. Child Development increased its range of topics to the development of the child in the first year, together with his speech and social development, whereas before, only conception, prenatal care, and birth were centered upon. Students here also had the opportunity to observe first graders and some served as teachers’ aides at the grammar school. A fahion show in May culminated the year for clothing students, allowing them to display their work to the public (1) Sewing student does the necessary hand-work to complete her blouse.

Typing I once again was open to Freshmen, a practice uncommon in most schools. The all-new Advanced Business course was presented for the first time this year. It steered students toward better office procedure, record keeping, and filing, with particular emphasis on business arithmetic. A strictly senior offering was a class in operating office machines, such as a key punch machine. This course gave valuable exposure to students with a business career in mind.

Likewise, they predicted the beginning of the end for the Class of 1974 as Class Night ceremonies got underway on the evening of June 2, initiating Senior Week. Parents, relatives, and friends attended to watch the seniors solemnly march into the LHS auditorium to the strains of “Pomp and Circumstance.”’ Activities for the evening included Principal Mr. John Hurley’s Presentation of the Class to School Superintendent, Mr. Hugh Macfarlane; the reading of the Class Night Oration, Class History and Ballot; and the awarding of special scholarships and honors to deserving recipients. The reading of the Class Poem, a Senior’s thoughtful reflection on memories of the past four years, concluded the program as Seniors rose to sing the Class Song, ‘‘Somewhere.”’ (1) Karen Moore receives her Pro Merito certificate and pin from Mr. Cavallo.

Hold My Hand And Class unity is that kind of a thing that sometimes takes four years to attain. The unfortunate irony of it is that soon after it is achieved, it must be shattered; graduates go their separate ways, never to meet in entirety again. This well- summarized the thoughts of many on the night of June 3 as Seniors and faculty members converged on the Polish- American Citizens Club to join in one final revelry together — the Senior Banquet. Those who attended enjoyed a taste- tempting meal of fillet mignon, Italian pasta, and various appetizers, cattered by Garden Grove. The final edition of Write-On, dedicated to the Seniors, was also distributed, after which the hall was cleared to make way for dancing. A special feature of the evening was a slide and music show presented by Mike Mislak of the Class of ’74, recapping Senior Year. But all good things must come to an end, and the Senior Banquet was no exception. At the stroke of midnight, an hour later than when the Banquet was to have ended, Seniors and teachers danced and sang in each other’s arms — to the final, lilting notes of ‘‘“Somewhere.” For the Seniors, it had been a night of joy, laughter, sadness, and tears — a night together.

On the morning of June 4, the Junior Class and the 1974 Ludlow Lion presented a farewell assembly to the Seniors in a thought-provoking program of music, speeches and memories. The Senior Assembly began as the Class of ’74 filed into the school auditorium to ‘‘Scarborough Fair,” now a tradition at LHS. After the Seniors received carnations from their Junior hosts, the program, directed by faculty advisor, Mr. Charles Bradshaw and student advisor, Stacy Pagos, opened with the Invocation by Rev. Fred Banas. A slide arrangement of the Seniors’ last year, backed by Cat Steven's ‘Oh, Very Young,” followed. Highlights of the program were Lion Editor-in-Chief Evelyn Orlik’s tearful address of thanks to her staff; a moving solo of “Four Strong Winds” by Terry Scruton, and Class Treasurer Dave Marini’s reading of the Class Gift, which consisted of funds given to the Ludlow Boys and Girls Club, the Town Ambulance Fund, Sunshine Village, Theater Arts, the Children’s Language Institute, and the cafeteria kitchen for the purchase of fans. As a special feature to the assembly, juniors and faculty members joined forces in a hilarious spoof of the Seniors — from shy freshmen to bold graduates. The traditional handing over of the “peacepipe”™ between Junior and Senior class presidents conclud ed the program, but not before Mr. Bradshaw accompanied on the piano, played a medley of songs special to every Senior, as the class exited the auditorium, never to return again.

Can't you hear those Lions? Ludlow Lions? Hear those Lions roar! Assembly Somehow, Someday, June 5, 1974, signaled the end of four years of high school as Commencement Exercises for the Class of 1974 took place. A capacity crowd of relatives and friends jammed the Springfield Municipal Auditorium as three hundred and thirty graduates-to-be proceeded to their seats, hearing the beat of “’Pomp and Circumstance” for the final time. The Rev. Helen Galazka gave a stirring Invocation, immediately after which the LHS band and Concert Choir delivered Sibelius’ ‘’Onward Ye People.’’ Co-Valedictorian Evelyn Orlik presented the Valedictory Address, asking of her class to face life not as ‘apathetic inhabitants but rather, active citizens.” Principal John J. Hurley then proceeded to the Awards ceremony and the formal Presentation of the Class to Mr. Hugh Macfarlane, Superintendent of Schools. School Committee Chairman Mr. Richard Tyburski awarded the diplomas to the graduates, and President Melanie Miller spoke her last message to her fellow classmates — a special ‘thanks’ for making 1974 the year it was. Rev. Francis W. Scanlon provided the Benediction as the Concert Choir bestowed a final blessing on the graduates in singing the beautiful ‘The Lord Bless and Keep Youre With the start of the recessional, life at Ludlow High School for the Graduates of the Class of 1974 had come to an end.

And to you, this class, I dedicate these few lines, for you are a memory that will linger forever after. You are a wonderful blessing.” — From The Class Poem by Antonio Pina 207 I hope that the Staff of the 1974 Lion has captured some of the memories of the past year for you between the covers of this book. It has taken a wide variety of people to assemble it, and for their talent, efforts, and time, I will be forever grate- ful — to Mr. Bradshaw, Mr. Hurley, Don Lendry, and to my parents, for all their patience in putting up with me; to Mr. Krasner, Mike Mislak and Tony Pina (color pictures at front), to Hausamann Studios, and to our own yearbook staff, and all others in any way connected with the 1974 Lion, for their endless encouragement and constant help, without which the book could not have been done. ; The Editor Now, only one thousand seats are left behind, seats that once held our pep rallies, homeroom periods freshman year, Senior Show, and finally, the ‘Last Assembly. They will never again be filled by us, the Class of 1974, but in them, our memories of LHS will live on forever ... 208 ADVERTISEMENTS A SPECIAL THANKS TO PARENTS, BUSINESSES, AND THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY FOR THEIR AID SUPPORTING THE 1974 LION ALSO A VERY SPECIAL THANKS TO THOSE SENIORS WHO PURCHASED THEIR YEARBOOKS ENABLING THE PRINTING OF A FULL-COLOR SENIOR SECTION. 1974 LION BUSINESS STAFF eK ea Oe es TIONS CEN Nx NEG SN : A CEQA S CON “ .
