We will remember it always. The year and its quiet reflections are special to us; but really, why? We aren’t celebrating the Bicentennial of the country or even of the town. We're somewhat caught in the middle. of so many new and beautiful things. We are the new hope for the town. We are the ones that will start this town on its third century of prosperity, of life. We have to think ahead; we must consider tomorrow. But we have to start with today, with ourselves, because we are the beginning, the future. 10 But we are starting our own lives, too. We are ending many years of training and of dependence. We are leaving the security we found in the daily ride on the school bus, the security we found in Ludlow High School. But we have to plan and live our lives to the fullest, because they are our lives, and we are the only ones who can shape them. We are the Class of 1975. So many times people are heard to say, “Do you remember when ...?’, and suddenly so many good memories are recaptured. Hopefully, this yearbook will help you to recapture some of the beautiful memories of 1975. Like all schools, we had many problems with the book. But we survived, even through climbing trees, minor car accidents and late-night idea shortages, or should I say absences. We kept on going, thanks to people like those from Hausamann Studios, Mr. Krasner and Joe Wrinn, whose photography was used in the book. To Mr. Bradshaw, Mr. Hurley and Mr. Lendry, a very special thanks, because I know what a problem I really was, and you ll never know how much I appreciate your patience and understanding. There are so many people working on the book who deserve so much more recognition than they receive. When things got very rough at the end, there were those who stuck with me all the way. They never knew the meaning of the word quit. They kept me and the book going when it seemed like the end was never to be reached. And so, to Kathy, John, Leila, Mary Lou and especially to my parents, I can only say thank you; you'll never really know how much you’ve helped me and how much you mean to me. We’ve done our best for you, and we only hope that the book is worthy of the very special Class it represents.

The result of the spirit award was announced and the title of most spirited class was given to the seniors. The success of the rally was highlighted by the burning in effigy of the South Hadley dummy. Everyone proceeded afterwards to the sports-decorated gymnasium for the dance, where the massive crowds were shaking and jiving to the lively lyrics of ““Montigue Plains”.

On December 6, 1974, the junior class presented its traditional dance entitled ‘Winter on Your Mind”’. Situated amid winter decorations, the immense crowd demonstrated their feelings, whether it be talking among friends, or dancing to the music of “Beggar’s Opera’”’. A good time was enjoyed by all.

As usual, initiation lasted for one whole terrifying week for the new members and one uproarious week for the rest of the school. Events culminated with a forced eat-in which included a menu much too delicious to mention. New members were encouraged to partake of any and all entrees, much to the delight of the senior veterans.

The only gift the Freshmen and Sophomores had was themselves, and that’s just what they offered to the children of Belchertown State School. On December 13th, a certain glow came t o the auditorium when the underclassmen brought smiles to many sad faces with their seasonal songs and heartwarming skits. Under the direction of Mr. Cotti and Mr. Levine, the underclassmen showed their talent, creativity, and Christmas spirit to the whole school in a performance we’ll all remember. to eae PRS ores ay a % = H 1.

J.C.L. members and their families enjoyed an evening of excellent food, fine entertainment, and a spirit of togetherness. Too many times the importance of a family is taken for granted. The significance of the family was brought out in an thought-provoking speech made by Dr. Vincent Cleary, Head of the Classics Department at U Mass.The recalling of old memories was brought about by the Zumbyes, who provided the entertainment portion of the program. ge, PATEL ee FOR 99 be? cet i -£h---7 Sate ae y 4 “oF - ; E= - a $ a a Stim Oe tet ee — d SF a DT A (1) Chefs Mr. and Mrs. Spadoni.

The event, which featured out- fits made by students in Mrs. Stagnaro’s and Mrs. Patullo’s clothing and tailoring classes, was held on the afternoon of May 4th. Each girl modeled her own creations and was judged by other girls in her class. The girls made a fine showing for themselves and for the Home Economics department. 1.

A covered bridge, a replica of the last wooden covered bridge known as “Put’s Bridge” at Wallamanumps Falls, one of the mills of the Ludlow Company, and a church representing the First, or Town Church at Ludlow Center, the first religious edifice in town, complete the design. Earliest settlers of Ludlow ar- rived around 1750, and tradi- tion has given the honor of the first arrival to one Aaron Col- ton. Others also arriving during this early period were Joseph Miller, James Sheldon, Shem Chapin, and Benjamin Sikes. These men settled in the north- east corner of the town, along the Chicopee River, in what was known as the Outward Com- mons, a then unsettled tract be- longing to, and east of, Spring- field. In 1774 Ludlow was incorpo- rated as a District, and in 1775 as a town. Why it is named Lud- low is not definitely known, but one explanation is that it was named after Roger Ludlow, a prominent citizen in early New England history, living in Rox- bury, from whence some of the settlers of Ludlow came. The town began as an agricultural community, but the advantages of water power from the falls of Wallamanumps, and the exis- tence of several sizable streams soon attracted industry. In ad- dition to sawmills and gristmills located on the various streams, other industries including tex- tiles, furniture, tar kilns, a dis- tillery, and the famous Ludlow Glass Works, also sprang up. Later, industry was concentrat- ed on Wallamanumps Falls. Here a dam generated enough power to operate factories, suc- cessfully producing scythes, tex- tiles, gun barrels, and cotton machinery. This latter venture was taken over by the company that ultimately became the Ludlow Manufacturing Associ- ates. This company specialized in products made from jute raised in India. The L.M.A., as it was called, became a domi- nant factor in town affairs for Variety In 1974 as part of Ludlow’s bicentennial celebration, the Ludlow Education Association helped stage the Bicentennial Variety Show. The show was divided into several segments, each of which centered around the activities of a particular decade. This was one of the most successful events of the bicentennial year, and certainly one of the most enjoyable. 1.Mr. Eaton finds out about violene the hard way. 2.Al Capone (Frank Petrolati) and one of the boys (Mario Campora) show us the golden age of the mobs. 3. 4.Douglas MacArthur (Mr. Hurley) and Marlene Dietrich (Mrs. Ashe) entertain the troops during the USO show. 5.Members of the 40’s USO show close by singing God Bless America. oh Oe £ €_)) S2 Srore a -” � , ¢.

Another factor which in- fluenced the type of community which Ludlow now is, was the immigration of — successive groups of Scotch, French, Ital- ian, Polish and finally Portu- guese, to become mill operators. Ludlow, like the United States, is truly a melting pot. Religion and education are both strong influences in com- munity life in Ludlow. Certain homes were designated as places for public worship as early as 1774, and the first meeting house was completed in 1784. Unt] about 1840, it was used as both a church and a meeting place to conduct town business. In 1840, the first church build- ing was erected at Ludlow Cen- ter. Through the years, eight more churches of various faiths have been organized, and all nine are still active parishes. In 1777 it was voted that money be appropriated to sup- port the schools. Since then, the growth of the educational sys- tem has kept pace with town growth, and presently the school system has grown to in- clude buildings and a staff to educate over 4000 students. Ludlow has grown from a set- lement of a few hundred per- sons in 1774 to a town of 17,000 in 1970. It has also changed from an agricultural and mill town to a suburban residential community for persons largely employed outside of Ludlow. There is, however, a fair amount of light industry providing em- ployment. Two additional fac- tors affecting Ludlow’s growth has been the Westover Air Force Base, and the Massachu- setts Turnpike, which bisected the town in 1957. 38 Yearbooks: 50 Years of Progress First football team — 1926 Fifty editions ago, the senior class of 1926 penned the first lines of their yearbook. Al- though the technology has changed the purpose has not. That purpose was, and still is, to save the memories of a graduat- ing class for posterity. The year- book has grown and matured these fifty years with innova- tion, our by-word. Whether it be the Static, High News, Review or Lion; it has consistantly shown a high level of quality. In the next few pages several cov- ers and staffs are presented; as an aside, it is interesting to note the appearance of the several people presented. Each year is representative of the decade it is part of. Ludlow Jr.-Senior High faculty — 1926 Government During the past year, Ludlow has seen a great deal of change. This was especially true in the area of government. Ludlow built its first building designed for a Junior High School. This modern school, cost- ing $3.7 million, is completely carpeted in the educa- tional wing and contains shops, a multi-media cen- ter, a audio-visual department, mini gyms, science areas, a lecture hall, a home economics section, a music area, and twenty general-purpose classrooms. We also built our first town office building. This $682,000 three-story building allows space (16,500 ft.) for a modern town government. With its proxim- ity to the Veterans Park three-school complex, it allows the use of government in action as an educa- tional tool. Not only have buildings been built, but students have become involved in government. Wil- liam Davidson, a senior, was elected a precinct mem- ber. Precinct members determine public policy for the town. In addition, Paul Czynodel and several other students acted as pages at town meetings. The pages speed-up town meetings, by helping the moderator with housekeeping functions. 1. Exterior of the new town office building. 2. View of the Selectmen’s conference room. 3.

At this time, the high school was on Chestnut Street. The Static, the first title, was printed by and for the senior class and was truly a class project with 15 of 23 class members participating. The majority of the pages were narration because of the ex- pense of photographs. 1926 was also a year of innovation with the founding of the school news- paper, the first vocational coun- seling, and our first football team. During this decade the town was very prosperous, with the Ludlow Manufacturing As- sociates providing the major portion of employment. The classes of the high school con- tinued to increase in size and the program of studies contin- ued to increase. 1926 yearbook cover ahs, 40 1933 was a different time from 1926. The town was in the middle of a depression and be- cause of a lack of funds, the yearbook became an edition of the newspaper. There is only one photo in this book, which had shrunk to 30 pages from 48. The size of the classes shrunk because many students had to go to work to support their fam- ilies. The program of studies was reduced and the town lowered its support of educa- tion. The majority of small tax- payers in town were unable to pay their taxes and the majority of the town’s budget was ex- pended for public assistance. The 72 graduates of the class looked at a bleak job market. The times were not unlike to- day, however today is a little more hopeful. It is interesting to note that the town’s budget was less than $500,000 and today it is almost $10,000,000. The town voted to ask the state to keep the state’s general budget to $8,000,000 and today it is nearly $3,270,000,000. 1933 yearbook cover Guidance The Ludlow High School guidance department, under the direction of Mr. Louis Casagrande, offered several innovative programs for students this year. In addition to the now-traditional college night, the department has a program of career discussions and a job far. The career discussion program invites members of the business community to introduce students to various careers such as engineering, accounting, and business management. Many of the guests brought with them examples of pro- ducts their companies make or use. Most of these men discussed opportunities in their fields and the educa- tional requirements of their jobs. One of the highlights of the program was the visit to the Monsanto plants in Springfield by a group of students who were able to see the lab and research areas, as well as the general produc- tion facilities. This gave the students a better under- standing of tne job of a Chemical Engineer. The job fair, on the other hand, allowed students to talk to personnel recruiters from industry. Students could move from sta- tion to station and speak to a wide range of people from the Navy to the Third National Bank. Both of these programs were very successful and show the level of interest the guidance department has in the welfare of non-college oriented graduating student as well as the college-prep. students. 1.

CIVIL AIR PATROL 1945 civil air patrol By 1945 Ludlow High School was able to publish its yearbook in a volume separate from the newspaper. Under the direction of Miss Saulnier, seventy pages of narrative and photos were published as the Review. The school program again increased as the size of the graduating classes increased. Senior boys’ cooking and girls’ shop courses proved Ludlow to be a leader in the fight to break down sex roles. The interests of the school were not only academic in na- ture, but also expanded into areas of community and nation- al service. The school was very involved in the sales of World War II bonds and the training of pilots through its civil air patrol branch. In sports, Ludlow rein- troduced girls’ basketball and captured the Western Massa- chusetts Soccer championship. REVIEW Ludlow High School Ludlow, Massachusetts 1945 yearbook cover 41 42 1955 THE LUDLOW LION 1955 yearbook staff and Miss Saulnier, advisor The 1955 yearbook reflected the 50’s well. There were few changes in the yearbook, with the exception of the introduc- tion of the hard cover, during this time. The Lion was expand- ed to 88 pages under the contin- ued direction of Miss Saulnier. The 50’s were generally prosper- ous with Ludlow becoming more and more a bedroom communi- ty of Springfield. The decade was also a time of great political shifts in Ludlow and the first rumblings of the need for gov- ernmental change. Zoning was established and this will forever change the development of the town. An increase in building was to introduce the town to the profound social changes taking place. These social changes are reflected today in the makeup of the community with the ma- jority of the residents being first or second generation Ludlowites. The old class struc- ture has been diluted and a new one is forming. 1955 yearbook cover. Senator Kennedy Visits Ludlow This year, Ludlow High School was honored with a visit from Senator Edward M. Kennedy. As is his custom during the recess of Congress, he travels from town to town to meet with his con- stituents and speak with students at many of the state’s high schools. The assembly was held in the gym because the Senator feels that using gyms allow a more relaxed atmosphere. At each of the schools he visits, he polls the students on major national issues to see what students think. After he completed polling the students, he answered questions from the audience. All in all, it was an interesting way to allow students to gain insights on the thoughts of a national leader. 1. Senior class officers meet wth Senator Kennedy. 2.

In 1961-1962 the present Ludlow High School was con- structed. Now Ludlow had a true senior high school plant. Many extra-curricular activities were offered. These included Audio Visual Aides, under the direction of Mr. Duclos; Latin club, Mr. Lucia advisor; and the High News, Mr. Linehan and Mr. Rooney advisors. The un- derclassmen made a great step forward when the yearbook be- gan to cover underclass acti- vites. The yearbook was no longer a senior year remem- brance book, but was now a true record of the year’s happenings. This yearbook showed a change in the times with the elimina- tion of most narration and the substitution of more photo es- says, and a more professional design with a color photo of the class. 1964 yearbook cover 43 Bry ete UL OTURE Aube BATA UE Culture, talent, opportunity of self-expression, sense of fulfillment OH WOW! Room 106 is like no other classroom in L.H.S. It allowed creativity, insanity, music (the New Riders and Helder Ganhao’s chordovox), happiness, and even frequent outbursts of temper to flow without and within. Our many projects throughout the year, usually began as meaningless and boring assignments, but as our minds began to form ideas and our artistry bloomed into new dimensions we were estatic with the final outcome.

This fine group of musicians has proven itself to be one of the best in the area through its imaginative performances. Drum major, Mark Hiorns, was honored recently for his leadership abilities in a regional marching competition. The Color Guard and Majorette squads must not be forgotten, for their performances gave color and refreshing liveliness to football games. Besides aiding the band in halftime shows and local parades, the girls also accompanied the band at the music festival in Austria. Each member of the squads is to be congratulated on her dedication and on the fine quality of the performances.

Reed and woodwind,drums, and plenty of brass playing together, they made their own kind of music. This large group of talented musicians worked hard to build a fine reputation for themselves with the help of their officers. The 1974-75 officers were: President — Kathy Green, Vice-President — Candy Dias, Secretary-Treasurer — Donna Oldenburg. Most of the year was spent on readying for the International Youth and Music Festival held in Vienna, but the band did participate in the State Competition at the University of Massachusetts. There they received very high ratings from the judges. The band also performed in concert for the general public in January. Under the direction of Mr. Royce Layman, the concert combined the experience and knowledge of upperclassmen and the energy and willingness of new-coming members. Aiding Mr. Layman in the January Pops Concert was a practice teacher, Mr. Darren.

For more than one year each member contributed his time and efforts to raise the money for travel expenses. Students in the band sponsored raffles, pancake breakfasts, picnics, tag sales, door-to-door sales, stationery and pen sales, car washes and even a walkathon to be considered for the trip. They auditioned on both the State and National levels, and once they were at the festival, they had to compete with many excellent bands, not only from the United States, but also from Europe and Israel. Their efforts were justly rewarded when they received second place in a field of 25 bands. Diane Maurice, a sophomore, was also honored, winning first place in the soloist competition. Among the many articles that were written in praise of the Ludlow band was one that appeared in the Congressional : Record. Congressman Boland honored the L.H.S. band with these words “Perhaps one | he thing that can be said about their . accomplishment is that they did it themselves, from start to finish. Aside from their musical ability, they worked hard for the funds their European trip required and they succeeded because they set a goal and didn’t budge from it. The youngsters had helping hands, of course, from parents and friends, but without their own dedication the dream wouldn’t have come true. They did great credit to themselves — and to their generation.” {ete 5 Seecmemmrmao : we — — att 4 “ a eee emia sei ti ttn, Neem” “ww a ——w eee” —_ ee 1.Band president Kathy Green and Mike Ostrowski show the joy they feel upon returning home from their very successful trip to Vienna. 2.3. 4.A few of the many signs expressing the town’s feelings of pride in the band. 52 French IV students present play A group of French IV students proved their theatrical abilities this past spring when they presented “La Faim est un Grand Inventeur”’ or “Hunger is a Great Inventor.” This one-act comedy, directed by Mr. James Martin of the Language Department, proved to be an entertaining treat for all. Two special performances were given, one for the French Department and one evening show for the general public. A few of the participants are shown to the left. SEATED. G. Fern, G. Fatal, K. Collins.

Oliver Twist On June 13th the Class of 1978 presented their own production of Oliver Twist, the story of a young orphan boy who stole, pickpocketed and swindled the people of London for his meager livelihood. Long hours and much devotion from the directors, Mr. Burrage and Mrs. Stack, and members of the cast resulted in a superb production. The scenery was designed and built entirely by the students and the costumes were also a result of the students creativity. Some of the characters portrayed are shown to the left.

Presents: “Forgotten By Many, This spring the Junior Classical League presented the seventh of their annual assembly programs. On March 18th, 19th, and 20th, the League performed for the general public, student body, and area schools, but on the 21st, it was with great pride that the membership of the J.C.L. presented their show at the 1975 convention of the Classical Association of New England, held at Fairfield University in Fairfield, Connecticut. Accompanying the J.C.L. was Mr. John J. Hurley, principal of L udlow High, who believed that the messages conveyed through the show would be of meaning to each and every viewer. “Forgotten by Many, Remembered by Few” drew ties between our own world and a world of long ago, making clear that the lessons of the past are all too often forgotten by many and remembered by few. Under the direction of Mr. Charles Bradshaw assistants James Marceau, Susan Mazza, Barbara Martucci, Marybeth Lewison, Wallace Gay and student advisor Leila Spadoni, the J.C.L. transmitted a message pertinent to all. Through myths and music, movies and slides, comedy and tears — the Junior Classical League of 1975. _ nia RE You for , an | Ih This beautiful Jayuth Junior Glassical Lee “F Ladlew High Sefinnlim 1.

Through the talents of veteran actors, combined with those of newcomers, the presentation followed the standard melodramatic formula in everway, and included everything from a “mustached” villain wieth a black top-hat to an innocent and child-like heroine. “Dirty Work at the Crossroads”, written by Bill Johnson, is melodrama about a villain who marries women for their money. Audience participation is an important part of the fun in melodrama, with booing, hissing and peanutthrowing being accepted methods of demonstrating dislike of the villain. In this respect the actors had no worries because they performed to a very responsive audience who thoroughly enjoyed the entire play. Many long hours of hard work and untiring efforts were spent by the entire cast. Not only did the student participants work diligently, but faculty advisor, Mrs. Suzanne Kelly, also gave much of herself to present an extremely entertaining play. Props and costumes, designed and created by the students themselves also lent a touch of class and quality to the production, well-deserving of the praise it received. 1.Mrs. Kelly makes a last-minute check on the make-up of cast members. 2.Lynda Wyatt and Pete Irvine in a scene from the play. 3.Everyone reacts differently to the news brought by Paul Keeping. 57 ‘“Oklahoma’”’ On Friday and Saturday evenings, May 16th and 17th, the Ludlow High School music department presented Rodger’s and Hammerstein’s “Oklahoma.” Directed by Mr. Gregory Wrinn, “Oklahoma” was the third musical production put on by the department. The production staff included, Mr. James Martin, assistant director, and Mr. Wallace Gay, prop director. Two former Ludlow High students, Bonnie Labossiere and Mary Beth Lewison, handled the choreography. Mrs. Shirley Wrinn served as accompanist, while the sets were designed by Mr. William Albertie of Hartford, Connecticut. Serving as student directors were Lynn Brodeur and Linda Fernandes. The plot of the story involved the young heroine Laurey, played by Marybeth Randall, and her beau Curley played by Mark Hiorns. Alyce Mucha played the comedy role of Ado Annie, opposite Scott Symington, who played Will Parker. Other roles were Aunt Eller (Nancy Bigda), Jud (Joe Stack), Ali Hakim (Craig Warner), Carnes (Jude O’Hare), Gertie (Erin Davidson), Ike (Dave Lavigne), Cord (Steve Riggs) and Slim (Bob Fernandes). Leading dancers in the show were Jody Saloio and Steven Riggs who performed the dream ballet. Some of the musical numbers that proved to be favorites were “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’,” “People Will Say We’re in Love,” “Surry with the Fringe on Top,” “Poor Jud is Dead,” and “I Cain’t Say No.” 1. “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’.” 2.

Working throughout the Fall studying music for the Christmas and Spring Concerts made things difficult, but the group was looking forward to putting on a musical production some time in May. The Chorus welcomed the season in Christmas spirit with many difficult selections, one of which was “Regina Coeli.”” The Chorale also gave many concerts during the year, appearing at the Eastfield Mall during Christmas and the First Church during Holy Week. The highlight of the year was the performance of “Oklahoma” on May 16th and 17th. Hours of hard work reared great benefits from this endeavor and much unforeseen talent was discovered. Settling down to another load of music to be learned was difficult after putting on the show, but the Girls’ Chorus, Chorale, and Concert Choir were able to present a fine Spring concert. Besides Mr. Wrinn, there were three new directors for the Spring concert; Miss Robin Dewey, a student teacher, and Joe Stack and Helen Lake, student directors. The year was completed at the graduation exercises as the Concert Choir, along with the band, performed “Battle Hymn of the Republic”, and bid a tearful good-bye to the Seniors with “The Lord Bless You and Keep You.” ee ee ee shies er en eee ae | py BO wi?

But for the majority of the students, the administration is there as the friend to whom you never talk, but yet from whom you receive the most help. The school administrators are more than willing to be of service whenever they can. They are our link to the school and its management. Groups, such as the Student Advisory Committee and the Student Council, work along with the administration to make or change school policy and to improve student government, and to them and to the administration, we extend a sincere “thank you.” Mr. John Hurley Principal Mr. James Cavallo Vice-Principal Mr. Robert Napolitan School Committee Chairman Mr. William Rooney Mr. Hugh Macfarlane Vice-Principal Superintendent of Schools Once again the faculty and administration of Ludlow High School ha ve given of themselves to another senior class. They have offered help and guidance in planning our future, and they have given us the courage to keep going when we could see only the worst ahead. For that, and for much more that couldn’t be expressed we, the Class of 1975, will be forever grateful. a Ba , f a eS ——_ 1.Three men to whom we owe so very much. 2.Happy Birthday, Mr. Rooney! 3.‘‘Go ahead, I dare you to say you didn’t hear the late bell.” 4.“‘I know I have to go in there.

This program allows juniors and seniors to select their own courses according to their abilities and interests and is an example of student involvement in academic planning. As always, the English Department supervised many extra-curricular activities, one of which was to see a Shakespearean play at Amherst College. Also a performance of “Oliver Twist” was given by an enthusiastic freshman English class. ; 7 f x Mrs. Patricia Ashe Ms. Cecilia Connolly Mr. Howard Burrage Mr. Richard Cotti Miss Constance Bussiere Miss Susan Dibble Miss Florence Saulnier English Dept.

It involved Biology II Seniors who, when their free time coincided with Biology I classes, tutored the sophomores. The department hopes to continue this advantageous program next year. Other senior courses in demand were Anatomy and Physiology and Physics. General Science and Chemistry courses were widely taken by underclassmen. Courses in the curriculum, offered for the tenth grade and up, had text-orientated labs corresponding with class material.

Perfect examples of this are Classics College Prep. and Classics in Everyday Life. Student participation is the reason for this success and continued enthusiasm will be the basis upon which more and better courses will be offered. But classroom exercises are not the only com- ponents of success. The French-sponsored trip to France, and the JCL Assembly are examples of the “life” that will enable the Language Department to continue and prosper.

The Guidance Depart- ment knows the needs of the student body and the counselors are there to discuss just about anything, from problems at home to college plans. Their efforts are exemplefied by the Job Fair program and by a series of visiting representatives from surrounding colleges. The Guidance Department is very efficient and greatly appreciated. se ee ; Mr. Louis Casagrande Mr. John Godek Mr. Frank Peraino Guidance Director Mr. Jerome Linehan Miss Mildred Struck Mr. Robert Beebe Mrs. Connie Fusco | 4 «@ Special Education Mr. Albert Bail, school psychologist, supervises the curriculum of the Special Education Department at LHS. This student- beneficial program includes bi-lingual and remedial reading courses. The involvement of students enrolled in these courses has progressed in the past years.

Performed at the end of the school year was a marvelous adaptation of Roger’s Hammerstein’s “Oklahoma”. Students in Art Major designed and created lifesize “plaster people”. A Senior Art Exhibit was held on Class Night, June 1, 1975. Mr. Gregory Wrinn Mrs. Gladys Dexter Mr. Royce Layman Music Director Art Band Director Mr. Bernard Burns Art Home Economics The Home Economics Department sponsored another suc- cessful fashion show, in which many seniors participated. The expanded sewing program, including Tailoring and Dress Design, has been very helpful in producing inter- ested seamstresses and creative designers. Students in Child Development courses continued to observe youngsters at Veteran’s Park Elementary School and study early childhood attitudes and behavior. Very popular for the second year was Food for the Family. This course, along with Cooking I and II, has acquired a chain of interested males. Mrs. Janice Partyka Mrs. Patricia Stagnaro Mrs. Miriam Patullo Physical Education There was much enthusiasm for the second continuous year of co-educational gym classes. This program is one of the ways the department tries to make meeting phys- ical education requirements more enjoyable. For those students who are athletically inclined, there is a large variety of intramural sports. With the interest of students, gymnastics and other intramural programs may be successful.

The two year old program of Wire Electronics I proved very successful in giving the students interested in this field a chance to learn further about these productive skills. Mechanical Drawing III and IV have been very popular courses in the Industrial Arts curriculum. These courses give s tudents responsibility, a sense of creativity, “““@— and a chance to acquire more knowledge in a world in _ which skilled workmen are still a neccessity.

For example, important courses offered for juniors and seniors are Bookkeeping, Personal Typing, and advanced Business Math. An all-senior program is Office Machines, which specializes in key punch operation. Typing I, Typing II, and Stenography are very popular with the underclassmen and are very helpful in many careers other than business. Mrs. Charlotte Focosi Commercial Arts Dept.

We usually don’t realize just how much these people do. They may not make any earth-shattering decisions, but what they do — finding the right book between classes, easing our aches and pains, running off last-minute notices, feeding the breakfast skippers when they need it most, and keeping the school neat and well-stocked — must not be taken for granted. To these people great appreciation is well deserved. “ j = Y “Ks _ i : +} ie et ee -. in 1 ’ | 4 4 ray S eR Me. yar Mrs. Margaret O’Neill Mrs. Rosemary Gilrein Miss Mary Szczygiel Main Office Main Office Main Office Mrs. Penny Abrahamson Guidance Office Librarians Mrs. Ruth French Mr. Lynch Mrs. Bessie Judelson Librarian Librarian Librarian Mrs. Alyce Mae Hammarlund, R.N.

As they do every year, Hi-Y’s “little brothers’ displayed durability, persistence and courage throughout their week of hysterical initiation. The club presented its annual show entitled “Who Cares?” in November. Crazy characters, dressed-up in “anything and everything”, paraded around the stage. A talent contest was also held during the show. First prize went to Debbi Salli, a sophomore who gave a fine performance; second to Joe Lyons, a senior who also played the guitar superbly; and third to Jay Dias, a talented freshman pianist. All proceeds from the show were used to purchase Thanksgiving basket for less fortunate families in Ludlow. This kind generosity and thoughtfulness deserves much praise and a heart-felt “thank you” and certainly proves that the Hi-Y really does care.

Model Congress brings home a victory Model Congress is comprised of students who each year attend a convention for area schools at American International College. This year the L.H.S. delegation, consisting of Juniors only, came home from the session with a victory. The Bill was presented by Peter Irvine and was based on the regulation of the ingredients of the “hot dog.” The delegation’s aim was to make the hot dog a healthier product. The Bill passed through the committee and the House. All members and advisor Mr. Pinkos were proud of their well-deserved victory.

In that time, its membership has increased greatly, but its amount of activities has steadily declined. The club is still without an advisor, and it has lost both academic recognition and pride. Hopefully, the next thirty years will see a more active club, because there are so many students with great academic abilities who deserve but do not get the recognition and praise for which they have worked so very hard.

Senior varsity captain Candy Dias and her squad showed the undying enthusiasm, typical of Lion fans. The day of the Booster Day Dance, the cheerleaders, including varsity, junior varsity, and freshman squads, performed during the pep assembly and again at the pep rally just before the dance. During these rallies, the cheerleaders taught the students new cheers, many of which were learned when the girls attended summer cheerleading camp. Through long hours of preparation and practice, the cheerleaders have developed and improved their techniques and skills, and have raised school spirit to a remarkable high. To all of them, a sincere thanks for a job well-done. 1.Junior Varsity — SEATED: S.Saloio, STANDING: P.Steigmeyer, T.Glanville, C.Szczepanek, L.Baldrate.

Student Patrol in charge of Halls Pushing, punching, shoving, and stampeeding are all good terms by which to describe the hall traffic at L.H.S. Student Patrol, a club organized to curb such radical actions, has taken on a very difficult task. Contrary to what some teachers and underclassmen may think, the main function of the Student Patrol is to regulate traffic in the halls, and to aid Freshmen in finding their classes. This year’s club withstood moments of controversy over the grouping together of club members, and verbal assaults from the administration. It was even contemplated that Student Patrol be abolished, but the club was able to prove its worth and remained as a part of Ludlow High School. The Student Patrol has a very difficult job to do; keeping hundreds of students in line is far from easy. They have done this task well and should be commended for it.

Then later in the year, Mrs.Bessie Juddleson retired as school librarian. Midway through the school year, Mr. Lynch became the new librarian. As for the club, the members visited many libraries, including the ones at Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke and the University of Massachusetts. With the help of librarian Mrs.French, the club gave a farewell party to Mrs. Juddleson and Library Service pins were presented to graduating seniors at the Senior Assembly. The Audio Visual Aides is a club almost entirely unrecognized by L.H.S. students. Many people fail to realize the functions that can be performed by such a club. This year, the A.V.A. filmed Senator Kennedy’s visit to L.H.S. and the Freshman Play, which was presented at the end of the year. Several football and girls’ basketball games were also filmed. These movies have helped greatly in showing the players, through seeing their mistakes, how they can improve their games. Now that it is an organized club, under the direction of Mr. Andreis, the A.V.A. is off to a good start and has every chance of receiving the recognition it so richly deserves. 92 in EES B50 coop Library Aides ROW ONE: M.Pedrosa, R.Plante, L.Kimball, C._Kominsky.

This year, along with a new name, this paper also has some new ideas. On January 15th, a Scholastic Press Forum was held at American International College. School representatives from all over New England and New York attended the forum to combine ideas on how to improve their newspapers. The day was comprised of workshops and featured guest speakers from WHYN, the National Geographic and the Washington Post. From this professional assistance, the CUB staff has gotten many innovative ideas for our paper. ‘With the further assistance of advisor, Miss Dibble, it has produced a very fine newspaper and has every hope for even better editions next year. — d {35 oom _ 2 LYING: D.Manuel.

Chess Club, under the direction of Mr. James Marceau, began its fourth year of competition in the Western Massachusetts-Connecticut Valley Inter-Scholastic Chess League. Ludlow played each school in this league three times, for a total of nine season matches. This year’s club was basically comprised of juniors and seniors, most of whom had previous experience in the club, but this advantage was not great enough to give the Lions a winning season. The Ludlow Chessmen now consider themselves a club rather than a team, because chess is really not a sport. It is a “battle of the minds”, which requires concentration and will-power, and hopefully these qualities will help in making the Chess Club a- nother strong L.H.S. organization. SEATED: G. Bell, M.

German Club grows in second year Now in its second year, the German Club is an active up-and-coming organization and its members enjoyed a rather eventful year. Beginning in October, the club attended the Bavarian Festival in Boston. Later, the club traveled to New York to see a German play at the Radio City Music Hall and dined at the Die Kleine Konditoret. The year happily ended with a trip to Hampton Beach in June. During the year, to raise funds for these activities, the club sponsored bake sales and car washes. Under the direction of faculty advisor, Mrs. Dumais, the German Club has proved to have the potential of becoming a very strong and active club at L.H.S. and all members are looking forward to a very bright future.

Its membership is composed of 25 seniors and 25 juniors. Factor has a threefold purpose. The first being to assist the faculty and adminis- tration of L.H.S. The second is to establish and maintain good public relations with the town of Ludlow through a system of community service projects. The third purpose of Factor is to encourage student involvement in all school-related activities and to build school spirit. Membership is based upon past performances in school activities and new members are chosen from among the applicants by the senior members of Factor. Under the direction of Miss Martucci and Mr. Marceau, the club has gotten off to a good start and we wish them the best of luck for an even better second year.

Throughout the senior year, editor-in-chief,Joanne Maziarz and her staff hung in close under financial hardships. As our final days at L.H.S. drew to a close, the Lion lost two essential staff members. Trying to find replacements was difficult and it ended up that new editors were never really found. The old editors and staff members simply took on more responsibility. Countless hours were spent from the school year’s end, until well into the following year. When two more editors did not finish their sections, a few good and loyal friends took on the very important jobs that were left undone. These “lifesavers” learned everything from scratch and did a fantastic job. This year’s Lion continued the use of full color in the senior portrait section. New names were also given to some of the sections, hoping to improve the overall image of the book. This year’s Community Affairs section also had a very special portion. It may not be known, but this is the 50th edition of the Ludlow High School yearbook. The section tried to present a small view of every decade of yearbooks. We are grateful to the faculty and students who helped in any way to aid in the hopefully successful publication of our book. For those who “hung in there” when the going got rough, the rewards will be great. We only hope that the memories of this year spent at L.H.S. have been recaptured through the Lion.

DANGEROUS DAVE Baseball Lions Have Winning Season The 1975 Lion baseball squad brought back the winning tradition of Ludlow High. Witha valiant late season surge the Lion nine came within one game of taking the Valley Wheel Championship. Their league record of 8-4 was good for record place behind champion Agawam. The varsity unit was led by the phenominal pitching of senior Craig Warner. Craig’s 9-1 record and his .86 Earned Run Average earned him a berth on the Valley Wheel All- League team. Also chosen as league all-stars were hard- hitting, junior, first-basemen Greg Bell, and senior Co- captain Jim Mastalerz. The season started slowly for the diamond men, but they showed their spirit which has trade-marked Lion ball clubs. The team high-lighted its season by defeating league powers Agawam and South Hadley, twice each. Classical (1) St.’ Mary’s (1) Minnechaug Longmeadow Monson.

There were many old faces, but there were also some talented new faces which helped the Lionesses gain their 15-3 record. In league play the girls had a 9-1 record which earned them the Valley Wheel Championship and they again earned a berth in the Western Massachusetts Tournament. In the first game against Palmer, Ludlow showed a strong defense and offense and came out on top with a score of 17-3. The second game against Belchertown was a close one, as the girls bowed out 6-5. The girls came through with some good wins when they needed them. For instance in order to win the league title, they needed a victory over Minnechaug and they easily beat them by ascore of 15-5. There were also a few close games like the 11-10 win over a tough South Hadley team. Their only loss in league play was in a game against Agawam, in which poor hitting and costly errors hurt Ludlow. Coach Libby is looking forward to the 1976 season, when many talented players will be returning, but she will be missing four very important seniors. Leaving will be — Captain Cheryl Pawlin and Co-captains Nancy Lewicki, Jean Glen and Michelle Gamache, all of whom helped immensely in earning recognition and a great record for the Lionesses .

Golf team has strong start The Lions had a fantastic start this year, winning 4 of their first 5 matches, with their only loss being a close decision at Longmeadow. Then the team ran into some tough luck, losing many close matches including a tie against champion Minnechaug, which was turned into a loss by 4 shots when the scores were tallied. Through the drought, the starters Jim Mitus, Greg Orlik, Ken Korzec, Bob Novak, Scott Symington, Eugene Stasiowski and Wayne Boduch (sharing the last spot) played well. There were many highlights during the season. The Lions defeated East Longmeadow and South Hadley, both for the first time in five years. They also beat Agawam on their home course, for the first time in several years. The team held the league lead for a time, early in the season. Captain Jim Mitus supported the team’s lowest average, a 78, which featured a fine one-over-par 73 at Wilbraham. He and Junior Greg Orlik also qualified for the Western Massachusetts Individual Tournament. Neither played very well, as they both posted an 81, which was only good enough for a play-off with 3 other boys. This play-off was eventually won with a birdie as both Jim and Greg made pars. Coach Malek looks upon next season as a year in which he can rebuild the team, since only one starter, Greg Orlik, will be returning. ee %.

Each year hun- dreds of new faces brighten the halls of Ludlow High School. Their enthusiasm and loyalty displayed at athletics, social ev- ents and student clubs is boundless. Not only do they support senior class functions, they also stage many highly successful events, including the Freshman Dance, Sophomore Banquet, and Junior Prom. Without these activities the school would certain- ly become dull. educational structure. oe ee - S i 138 Hope for the future However, just as these students try to better their school they strive to better themselves. Each works toward his goal through hard work, self-sacrifice and most of all ambition. They come to school hungry for knowledge and the answers to the many unanswerable questions. Reaching for these intangible hopes, they bring with them new ideas for change and progress. Each knows that in order to receive any enlighten- ment he must give of himself, share with others, become part of the whole. Underclassmen, they are really the future of the school.

Senior Class Officers It is often very difficult to actu- ally put down in writing a certain person’s feelings; it’s even more difficult to express the special feelings of an entire class. These special feelings are for four very exceptional people, the officers of the senior class of 1975. The Class of 1975 holds much gratitude in their hearts towards these four very exceptional peo- ple. Due to their hard efforts and devotion our class had a very suc- cessful senior year. Stacy, Michele, Jeanne Jane Thanks so much for all you've done. Gratefully, The Class of 1975 Michele Koscher — oo 7 Vice President Jane Nunes — ‘Treasurer Greaser Day Everyone remembers the hopping, bopping days of the 50’s. On February 14th, 1975, the seniors decided to relive those beautiful days of the past. They donned leather jackets, white t-shirts, pleated skirts and white bobby socks; they even boosted the Bryl Creme industry. The seniors looked as slick and cool as Elvis and all his fans, and for one day, Ludlow High relived the past. 1. These two greasers look like they’re ready for action. 2. Even the girls got a little “greasy”. 3. This group of cool dudes posed for a group picture. 4. The strong and never-ending efforts of many produced this remarkable snow sculpture. Long Ago Tomorrow ae. oe 2 Tomorrow, and forever, when the Class of 1975 remember their Senior Show, they will have countless memories to go back on — two months of rehearsals; a last-minute snow sculpture (finished in time); Sunday night’s rehearsal; Wednesday’s cancelled rehearsal; trying to make the opening and closing numbers sound good; “Consider Yourself” and “You'll Never Walk Alone’; an interrupted dress rehearsal; a happy and successful Belchertown performance; watching the show on T.V. backstage; or waiting for such familiar things like Tony rolling his stomach, the Kung Fools or the crazy antics of the “Mash” crew; and finally the biggest Valentine ever for Uncle Jerry, the Senior Show Co- ordinator. The show was presented on two nights, February 14th and 15th. Lloyd Mendes, Jeanne Hopkins, Jane Nunes and Paul Weaver served as M.C.’s. The show consisted of 32 acts and involved about 275 Seniors. Among the many dedicated people who helped with the show were: Kathy Martins and Mark Thompson, student co-ordinators; Mr. Martin and his stage and lighting crews; Mr. Wrinn Mr. Layman and the stage band; Mr. Andreis, whose help with the snow sculpture is beyond description; and Mr. Gay and his technical crew. The show marked the peak of the year for many. It brought the class closer than they had ever been and even though the two nights passed quickly, the memories will last forever in our minds and especially in our hearts. iD ae a ae ey “6 1.

The evening began with an Invocation by Richard Royce and a welcome to all by class president, Stacy Pagos. After an address by Superintendent, Hugh Macfarlane, the Class Histories were read, followed by the disclosure of the Class Ballot, read by Class Couple Barbara Mazur and Mark Paquette. Joanne Maziarz then delivered the Class Night Oration, a salutatorian’s feeling about graduation. A highlight of the evening was the presentation of scholarships and awards, including National Honor Society Certificates and Pro Merito pins. The Class Poem was also read by its author Cynda Rescia. The program then came to a close as the class sang ‘“‘You’ll Never Walk Alone,” a song that has now become a very special part of the Class of 1975.

However, the seniors were not alone. They were joined by many members of the faculty and administration who wished to participate in the festivities and to wish the seniors well. Before enjoying a delicious meal served by Lillian Caterers, the seniors read over the special edition of the CUB, containing the class prophecies, wills, ballot and poem and several faculty farewells. Later, a fun evening of dancing to the music of “The Twelfth of Never’ was had by all. A very special attraction was the presentation of a slide show by John Diotalevi full of memories of the past year. The show brought tears to many eyes, and was a treasure to special moments that we will all remember for a long time to come. All too soon, the hour ending the affair approached. The doors opened and the seniors began to slowly depart, not really wanting to see the evening end. But even though that very beautiful night is ended, we still all have our memories of June 2, of 1975, of the past four years, and of our very special friends — the Class of 1975. 1.Miss Mazza and Tony Leits enjoy a last dance. 2.Don’t worry, we won’t tell mommy you smoke. 3.“Can I blow your whistle too?” 4.““Now, what do you mean by that?” 200 of the dark meg Pia, PN apy AN k Pees aug rtt = ) “ .3 © Se “EN ¥ 3 4a, aoe te. a 3 1.These couples enjoy a quiet, slow dance. 2.The seniors get together for a little girl-talk. 3.Here we are world! —Do all evil, Speak all evil, Think all evil. 4.‘‘My girdle is killing me!’ 5.Nidia Ponte and Amelia DaCosta enter the hall. 201 At the end of the storm is a golden sky The faculty and students of Ludlow High School, led by the Class of 1976 bid their last farewell to the Senior Class with another touching Senior Assembly. The Seniors entered the auditorium to the now-traditional, “Scarborough Fair”. This was their last day at Ludlow High School. The program consisted of many treasured memories of the past four years presented in the forms of music, slides, award presentations, and speeches. The keynote address was presented by Mr. Steve Schubert, and Joanne Maziarz, yearbook editor, told of the trials and progress of the yearbook. Later, Stacy Pagos presented the traditional peace pipe to the Junior Class President, Diane Kibbe. The ribboned pipe is a symbol of school unity and senior leadership. A very touching open letter from Mr. Bradshaw, the Yearbook Advisor, was read by Mona Dominique expressing the feelings of this very special man for the Class of 1975. As the seniors left the auditorium, for the last time, there were many tears and many memories. These will be cherished forever, because as we all know only too well, we wouldn’t be going back again. We had to say “Goodbye” to Ludlow High School. 1.Stacy Pagos and Angie Bissaillon relax a bit before entering the auditorium for the Senior Assembly. 2.Seniors enter the auditorium to the music of “Scarborough Fair.” 3.Guest speaker Steve Schubert addresses the Senior Class. 4.Juniors Judy Pereira and Gary Ziencina bring back many memories of what our senior year was like. 5.Expressing the feeling of the entire class, Joe Lyons sings a tearful “Poems, Prayers and Promises.” 202 and the sweet silver song of a lark 1.Diane Kibbe makes her acceptance speech, promising to carry on school spirit and leadership symbolized by the peace pipe. 2.

The seniors entered the Springfield Municipal Auditorium, to the music of ‘““Pomp and Circumstance,” beneath the traditional arches held by selected members of the Junior Class. Members of the graduating class then joined Concert Choir and Band for a few numbers and several speeches followed. The Valedictory Address was delivered by Maria Goncalves and a graduation speech was given by Mr. Hugh Macfarlane, Superintendent of Schools. Special awards were presented to certain students by school principal, Mr. John J. Hurley, and several more scholarship announcements were made. Mr. Napolitan, Chairman of the School Committee, then presided over the issuance of the diplomas which slowly brought the program to a close. Finally, class president, Stacy Pagos, bid farewell and good luck to her classmates. The newly graduated seniors tearfully filed out of the auditorium, as Concert Choir sang ““May The Lord Bless and Keep YOU The tears were both of happiness and of sadness. The joy of accomplishment filled all of us, but we were also filled with the realization that we would never be together as a class again. For us it was “Good-Bye” and “Thank You’, to L.H.S. to our classmates and to our friends and memories, whom we shall forever hold as a very, very special part of our lives. sett iad en ts Walk on, walk on, 1.Maria Goncalves delivered the Valedictory Address. 2.
