The many faces we encounter over the years later become our sacred treasures. Many different individuals passed through the doors of Ludlow High School in 1977. A large number of them passed through for the final time. Those individuals culminated four wonderful years together, and perhaps may never meet again-except in their memories. They are indeed fond memories- those of the Class of 1977. The world around us seemed so small, as if Ludlow was all there was of our world. We would grow up, of course; it was inevitable. As time passed we would discover the many other worlds about us. Ludlow could not forever meet every need of every person. We knew a time would come finally when it would be time to move on, to leave our treasured frien ds. ATOMS, ELE ach Reeicnen ee cae ion v=. mail 7 ie 2 ia v SSeS wa tess wes aS a We had grown up in a beautiful atmosphere. Now we would build new worlds for our own children to grow up in. It is an amazing thing that as our own time in Ludlow grew short, we began to appreciate the beauty of nature more than ever. omens eo ee eto ool a OY at he An A CTE RAR 8. i 'e.

It was we who made the fateful decisions, and we who are responsible for the successes and failures we will have. Our road was unique, it was our very own. In the words of a collective group of advisers who probably knew us best, the Class of 1978, ‘““You have taken the road less travelled by, and it has made all the difference. 13 Looking back, the story of the Class of 1977 is a happy one. With a cast of thousands, the tale has finally been compl eted. But it has set the stage for the many sequels to come, featuring those students we have left behind, and set in those hallowed halls of Ludlow High School. 14 OUR SONG The time has come to say good-bye, Don’t you think it’s time to realize Where you’re going and where you’ve been? We’ve been together for so long, Our friendship is so strong, We thought we’d write it in our song. We looked out the window At a falling star. He said, “I can see from here You will all go far.” Put yourself in the right position, Then think of all the things you'll be missing When you’re away from home. We know that some of you we’ll never know, But we hope your lives will grow The way you want them to. We looked out the window At a falling star. He said, ‘“‘I can see from here You will all go far.” We hope that you will stay in touch, Our friendship has meant so much, And our memories you can’t take away. We’ve had some good times and bad. But we really are glad That we had the chance to be friends with you. We looked out the window At a falling star. He said, “I can see from here You will all go far.” We just want to say thank you for all the times we’ve had.

Greaser Day On October 15 the Ludlow High School turned back to the bopping fifties. This traditional day, Greaser Day, was enjoyed by all with the Seniors dressing up for the occasion. Seniors paraded the halls while singing oldies and chewing gum. Red lips and leather jackets were in style for the day. This first Senior event was only the beginning of a year that would classify the Class of ’77 as very crazy. (1) Actually I believe that I got a 100% on the test.

A pep rally from 7-8 P.M. was followed by the annual Booster Day Dance. Cheerleaders headed the rally getting everyone in the mood for a good time. The spirit award was given to the most spirited class, the senior class. The highlight of the rally was the burning of the Longmeadow dummy. Afterwards the crowd proceeded to the gymnasium where entertainment was provided by Desperado.

SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS The Class of 1977 is extremely grateful for the hard work and dedication of four very exceptional people. Their constant devotion has left us with memories of a very successful year at Ludlow High School. The President of the Senior Class has the most powerful and most demanding office. Susan Kuchyt handled this job beautifully. Her overwhelming leadership and unending enthu- siasm achieved for us, the Class of 1977, only the best. In time of trouble, she was always there to fight on our behalf. Steve Forslund was the Senior Class Vice-President and worked throughout the year alongside Susan. His warm person- ality made him close friends with almost everyone in the class. Through these friendships he was able to listen to different problems and to new ideas. Kathy Hurley, who was always present at Senior Class meetings and Senior Executive Board meetings, fulfilled the office of Secretary. She was always capable of coming up with new ideas at the right time. The final office, Treasurer, was fulfilled by Ruth Plant. Ruth’s job was even more difficult than previous years due to a new dues structure introduced this year. Her ability to handle funds made it possible for our class to have a sound financial budget. Words cannot express how grateful we are to these four exceptional people. Susan, Steve, Kathy, and Ruth, to you, we the Class of 1977 say thankyou. Thankyou for making our Senior Year at Ludlow High School a collection of beautiful memories. he 1 BZ —. — is Susan Kuchyt 50 t jy. = Mee Y prcitent Steve Forslund But Don’t Count Me Out Folks ... at WOMEN TEACHERS I Won't Give Up ... SENIOR SHOW The Senior show of 1977 brought with it many changes but none dampened the spirit of this annual Senior Affair held on Friday and Saturday night, March 25th. and 26th. Jerome Linehan and James Martin directed this first activity of the year which involved the entire Class of 1977. They were assisted by many members of the High School faculty who headed committees and supervised the event. Susan Saloio and Stephen Forslund, student co- ordinators, devoted much of their time, effort, and patience to make the show a success. Through hard efforts, long hours of rehearsing, last minute skit ideas, and getting ready the opening and closing numbers, the show was finally ready to be performed on the LHS stage. The production consisted of 27 acts which varied from comedy to talent. The Masters of Ceremony were Jeff Texeira, Tammy Layman, Mike Fanning, and Barbara Veautour. Entitled “Still Crazy After All These Years”, the 1977 show helped defray the cost of the yearbook. Several new ideas were also introduced this year and should set an example for others to follow. It saw changes such as a later than traditional date and the advent of reserved seating in the auditorium. An unchanged portion of the show and perhaps the most important was the dress rehearsal and party, Thursday, March 24th., for members of the Belchertown and Monson State Schools. Also this year’s opening number was unique in the way that the class exited from the stage singing, “Hey, Look Me Over”. The closing number added a sentimmental touch as Debbie Salli sang “If We Only Have Love”. The Class of 1977 gave the show a finale by repeating this song while slowly filing out of the auditorium. A great deal of credit must also be awarded to Mr. Pinkos and the excellent stage band for their help in the entertainment. ...

ADMINISTRATION Among the most important personnel in the school system have to be the administrators. In his first year as Superintendent of the School System, Dr. James Tierney quickly became an integral part of students and faculty alike. On January 29th, he was baptized into his position at the annual “All in the Family Night” held each year by the Junior Classical League. Dr. Tierney was the featured speaker this year at this family. This evening was in reality a preview of things to come. After this somewhat informal introduction to the students and parents of Ludlow, Dr. Tierney was formally introduced to the town during Senior Week. On Wednesday, June 8, Dr. Tierney bid farewell to his first of what should be many graduation classes. Dr. Tierney’s entry into the school system was facilitated by the very able assistance of the administrators who were already there. Led by Mr. John Hurley, the trio of high school administrators continued to serve the town and students with dedication. Along with Principal Hurley, Assistant Principals James Cavallo and William Rooney were always on hand to help the students. Without these four people, the daily routine of L.H.S. would surely be different. Mr. William Rooney - Assist. Principal Dr . James Tierney - Superintendent 76 COMMERCIAL ARTS Many industrial advances in recent years have motivated many students to pursue careers in the field of business. Ludlow High Schools Commercial Arts prepare young men and women for just this type of profession. Underclassmen participate in courses such as Typing I, Typing II, and Stenography, while Juniors and Seniors may acquire skills in Bookkeeping, Personal Typing, and Accounting. They may also participate in a program in Office Machines. This year, the Business Department welcomed many guests from local colleges and businesses to speak to the Commercial Arts students. This program proved to be both an educational and enjoyable experience for all. Mr. Richard Thomas = i oe 7 a OR we Da Miss Kathleen Abair ee 2 Mrs. Stella Pierce ENGLISH The English program at Ludlow High School is one that meets the students’ interests and capabilities as well as academic requirements. The English Elective Program, open to Juniors and Seniors, allows responsible students an individual choice of courses. This year, as a modification of the elective program, all Senior College Prep students were required to take English Literature. Working with the English Department are the Librarians. These dedicated individuals have been responsible for the expansion of the L.H.S. Library and are a credit to Ludlow High School. Nineteen seventy-seven has marked the end of Miss Florence Saulnier’s career at L.H.S. Miss Saulnier, head of the English Department, spent forty years at Ludlow as a teacher and as an adviser of many extra-curricular activities. We thank her for her years of dedication, kindness, and concern. R : Le ot% ‘ as 4 aE soessece.

The Ludlow High School Band, under the direction of Mr. Royce Layman, once again had another active year. It performed at many home football games and attended a music festival in Lowell, Massachusetts. Stage Band, conducted by Mr. Joseph Andreis, held their first concert, ““A Cavalcade of Music,” this year. Girls’ and Boys’ Chorus, Concert Choir, and Chorale are all groups of very talented students. Under the supervision of Mr. Gregory Wrinn, these students work throughout the year on their various programs. This year, their efforts were culminated by the excellent production of the musical, ‘South Pacific.” Mrs. Gladys Dexter and Mr. Bernard Burns supervise the art program. They teach students the skill of expressing themselves through art. The art projects displayed throughout the year demonstrate what creativity and talent can produce. Mr. Gregory Wrinn - Choral Director Mr. Royce Layman re a“ Mr. Richard Anderson - Student Band Director 80 GUIDANCE Ludlow High School’s Guidance Department has always done a fine job in helping and advising the student. This year was no exception. Counselors were on hand at all times to help students either with problems of the present or questions of the future. The Guidance Department also sponsored a variety of programs. Throughout the year various college representatives visited Ludlow, and both a Job Fair and College Fair were held. Mr. Louis Casagrande-Guidance Director Mr. John Godek Miss Mildred Struck Mr. Frank Peraino Mr. Jerome Linehan 81 HOME ECONOMICS The Home Economics Department at Ludlow High School allows students to use both their abilities and imaginations while participating in the various Departmental courses. The Child Development class, open to Seniors, gave girls an insight into how each child grows — both physically and psychologically. Students observed children at Veterans Park Elementary School and sponsored a Christmas Party during the holiday season. Cooking I II, Foods for the Family, and Foreign Foods introduced many students to the world of cooking. The Sewing program, including Dress Design and Tailoring, presented a successful fashion show, “It’s All Sewn Up.” i((( Mrs. Miriam Patullo - Department Head Mrs. Janice Partyka 82 oad ; Mrs. Patricia Stagnaro INDUSTRIAL ARTS The Industrial Arts Department has always helped students develop their skills as craftsmen. Offering such popular courses as Woodworking and Househo ld Wiring, the Department provided students with the opportunity to both learn a valuable trade and acquire a sense of personal accomplishment. Other courses included Construction and Mechanical Drawing. This year, a program dealing with small gas engines was introduced into the curriculum and, for the very first time, girls participated in the Industrial Arts courses.

Once again French V and Spanish V were offered, while Mr. Bradshaw taught Classics in translation. The students read Greek and Roman literature one semester, and concentrated on Mythology the other semester. One of the strong points of the department are the very active language clubs — French, Spanish, German, and J.C. L. Each club sponsored a variety of activities. Field trips to Boston, Montreal, and Quebec, along with fund raisers such as candy sales, car washes, and towel sales allowed every student to get involved. Also, each club attended a Christmas party and the Junior Classical League presented a Patriots basketball game. Every student who participated in any of these events truly had an enjoyable time.

The Mathematics Department of Ludlow High School continues to meet the needs of the student. The Department offers essential courses for students in the College Preparatory, Commercial, Industrial, and Home Economics programs. It is the goal of this Department to fulfill the needs of all students. The Mathematics Curriculum also extends beyond the classroom. Good sportsmanship combined with exceptional mathematic abilities helped produce a successful sophomore season for the Math Team, under the leadership of Mr. Daniel Lynes. x 2. 08s. @®? a eoee? o eoeee ‘a®, Miss Susan Rodrigues Miss Susan Stachelek Mr. Daniel Chrzan Mr. Daniel Lynes - Department Head 85 PHYSICAL EDUCATION The Physical Education program at Ludlow High School allows all students to participate in athletics. Many students attempt to win the President’s Physical Fitness Award, and several succeed. Intramural sports are popular in keeping the athletically inclined active. Co-educational gym classes allow Seniors to play floor tennis, softball, and volleyball. Archery and speedball are classes that are usually popular. Although classes are becoming larger and interests are becoming more varied, the Physical Education Department has managed to keep everyone quite happy. Miss Jerilyn Barnes Mr. Arthur Serra - Athletic Director Mr. Joseph Szlosek Mrs. Joan Libby 86 OFFICE WORKERS AND SERVICE STAFF The people behind the scenes make up a big part of what goes on at L.H.S. Without the secretaries, cafeteria staff, custodians, or the nurse, the school could not function. Since they are usually overlooked, we wish to thank them for their outstanding service. After twenty-five years of dedicated service, Mrs. Noella Noel has retired. We thank her for her assistance and wish her the best of luck.

SCIENCE Since we are living in such an advanced technical age, the study of Science plays a major role in our daily lives. The Science Department, therefore, offers a variety of popular courses to hold the students’ interests. However, it also prepares students for advanced scientific studies by means of a program of fundamental courses. General Science was popular with Freshmen, Biology I with Sophomores, and Chemistry with Juniors. Seniors tested their skills with Biology II, Physics, and Anatomy and Physiology. 88 Mr. Joseph Andreis .

Under the direction of Mr. Leonard Charest, this Department provided students with relevant academic material, a variety of activities, and, at times, a rather humorous atmosphere. A variety of courses, ranging from Geography to Economics was offered. A new course, Honors Government, was introduced. This seminar type program was an interesting experience for both the seven students and four teachers involved. Some of the Department’s activities included Student Government Day, Student Council, and Model Congress. There was also a lighter side to Social Studies. We will always remember Mr. Charest’s sugar for his Kool-aid, Mr. Bousquet’s WetOnes, Mr. Thompson’s pet rock, and, above all, Mr. Pinkos’ notes.

Mrs. Connell and Mr. Goncalves offered Bi-lingual courses while Miss Titus, Miss Kogut, and Miss Crandell offered reading courses. Mr. Sylvain and Mr. Bal helped many students.

It sponsored a trip to Holy Cross to see ‘‘Medea”’, held “All in the Family night,” a dinner for members and their families, and attended the State JCL Convention. As a fund raiser, JCL pitted the LHS faculty against the New England Patriots and themselves against the Minnechaug JCL at basketball. The Patriots beat the faculty for the second year. To round up the year, the annual JCL Show was presented; the theme and title was “Schoolsong’’. It featured a view of the old school days and of “future school”’. Mr. C. Bradshaw C. Emery D.

GERMAN CLUB SPANISH CLUB The Spanish Club was advised by three teachers this year, Mr. James Marceau, Mrs. Paula Bennett, and Miss Carol Fernandes. In the fall, the club attended the Whole World Celebration in Boston. Also in the fall, the club held a car wash as a fund raiser. Just for fun, the club went rollerskating.

For fund raisers, the club sold candles before Christmas and Ludlow Lions beach towels in the spring. Party-wise, the club held both a Halloween party and a Christmas party. It also sponsered a trip to Stage West to see Jacque Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris. Following the new trend set at LHS, the club went rollerskating. To end up the year, the club spent a weekend in Montreal. PORTUGUESE CLUB ARCHERY CLUB |= The Archery Club is a brand new club this year, spawning out of senior archery classes. The club took some excursions to the Ludlow Fish Game Club during school for some practice and work on technique. There also were some meetings held on how to build arrows, pointing out various tips, etc. The club was advised by Mr. Joe Szlosek. Mr. J. Szlosek R. Gauthier M. Ambrose J. Houghton M. Baillargeon P.

That is to say, the Student Advisory Council lobbies with the School Committee for the students of Ludlow High School. The council was able to accomplish four things this year; the expansion of the girls’ sports program, improvement of the bus departure problem, where students who did not sprint from last period classes in record time were left in the dust, the establishment of extracurricular activities at the Junior High, and finally, the return of journalism as a full year course on the school curriculum. Mr. D. Chrzan 3 Sores Student Council is an organization having the S. Forslund class officers from each class, four electives es aa from each class, and Student Patrol Captain .

Teixeira 101 MODEL CONGRESS This year found Mary Taylor the president of a seven member Ludlow High School Model Congress. Model Congress is a program held every January at AIC. By using the same procedures as the national Congress, students learn about our government. Ludlow’s representatives presented a bill to the congress this year abolishing the Electoral Congress and providing for direct election of the President. With the help of the eloquent tongues of John Rossi, Jeff Teixeira, and Dan Goncalves, the bill passed through committee, but was narrowly defeated on the floor. And the machinery of government rolls on. STUDENT GOVERNMENT DAY Student Government Day falls on April first, April Fool’s Day, and rightfully so. On Student Government Day, students from throughout the state replace the elected officials of the state legislature for the day. On this one day, the students make the laws. This year our representative was Jeff Teixeira, who replaced Senator Stanley Zarod. Steve Forslund was the alternate. Jeff introduced a bill that would have limited the terms of committee chairmen, President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House to two years and four years total. The bill, however, was badly defeated. MAROON KEY Maroon Key is an organization of academically inclined ath- letes. That is to say, quali- fications for membership require good academic standing as well as outstanding athletic ability. As is tradition, the Maroon Key vs. Cheerleaders basketball game was held to raise money for trophies which were awarded to graduating senior athletes. So long, team-mates. Mr. B. Connery T.

At Christmas, felt puppets were made and donated to children at area hospitals. For Valen- tine’s Day, Felt hearts were made, these also being given to chil- dren at area hospitals. STUDENT PATROL In past years, the student patrol has tended, often times, to clog congested hallways more than they did to keep the traffic flowing freely. This year, it can safely be said, showed improvement. Also, being on Student Patrol was a great way to get into class late and leave class early. Along with holding doors during passing time, these seniors also checked passes of underclassmen during the periods, since a rash of fire alarms was hitting LHS. Student Patrol was captained this year by Sandy Coelho. S. McDaniel D. Monteiro D. Moorhouse J. O'Neill G. Patullo R. Plant D. Riley S. Saloio A. Spadoni B. Thompson D. Thompson HI-Y Mr. D.

A year of planning and some three months of grueling rehearsal brought the Duchy of Grand Fenwick to the Ludlow stage, totally disrupting the town of Ludlow with laughter during the three nights of performance. Jumping right into another production, the cast of Lavigne, Fanning, Giza, and Zajchowski went into the Massachusetts High School Drama Festival competition with the one act play, ‘““A Kind of Hole”, Ludlow’s first try at competition. A small but spirited crew watched these four actors be chosen as members of the festival All Star Cast, but then lose their spot in the semi-finals competition to Amherst by one point. Spring was everyone’s chance to be a star as actors and stage crew alike presented children’s plays to Ludlow elementary schools, the plays being organized and directed by the students themselves. Throughout the year, candle and candy sales went on to help finance the productions and the three scholarships given to departing seniors. The year was ended with a Pot-Luck Banquet, where good times from days gone by were remembered by all. 106 Hein acme (1) “The Unhoppy Bunny”. (2) Snow White and dwarfs.

The cheerleaders held fund raisers during the course of the year: they sold maroon and white spir- it buttons to “get out the school colors’, and they held a car wash. There was, as always, the trying anxiety of waiting for the results of the try-outs. “Will I make it?” Of course, the most important function of the cheerleaders was cheering, which they did with en- thusiasism the entire year. All the way to the State Soccer Championships and the Palmer Ludlow Thanksgiving Day Game, on the courts and at the rinks, at the ball parks but, unfortunately, not at the tracks, the cheerleaders were there to lead the team spirit.

The B team, of J.V. chess team, went to a 5-3-1 In a chess match, five games are played, five season under the coaching of Miss Susan Stachelek boards ar e used. To win the match, a team must win (If a match ends up with two boards won, two boards three of the five boards. Generally speaking, the lost, and one board tied, the match is counted as a player on the first board is the best player of the tie). Frank Ziencina played the first board for team, the second best player plays on the second the B team this year, while Buddy Ellison played the board, and so on.

Members this year were picked by their academic standing, leadership quality, and service record. The service aspect continued as members worked as teacher’s aides, tutors, and ushers at the local theater, Stage West. After selecting the junior members, a dinner was held at The Sheraton for members and their families to introduce the juniors into the club. As graduation day rolled around, seniors donned the traditional gold tassels and stoles, and received pins and certificates indicating that they were members of the National Honor Society. nape ‘craic i Miss S.

The Panelists were Kevin Schmidt, Dan Goncalves, Patty Veiga, and Chuck Emery. The alternates for the panel- ist positions were Tom Casagrande, Mike Szlosek, Helen Emery, and Donna Kusnierz. To determine who would make up the team, two written tests were given, the highest scorers being on the team. Then, an oral test was given (with the help of Mr. Thompson) to determine which of the eight team members would be the panelists. Settling down in front of their sets, Ludlow resi- dents watched with anxious eyes to see the LHS team romp Westfield in their first game, 220 to 90. The next weekend proved to be tougher as Pioneer Valley Regional High School and LHS battled point for point down to the last seconds of the game. With the score unknown, a technical delay allowed Pioneer Valley to answer a final question after the end-of-the-game buzzer had sounded. The score was tabulated. Ludlow had lost, 190 to 200. The competition, for Ludlow was Over. T. Casagrande C. Emery H. Emery D. Goncalves om rf eee D. Kusnierz K. Schmidt ae M. Szlosek P. Veiga Mr. D. Lynes J. Gurski S. Coelho L. Holdsworth F. Gallo A.

Whoever has the most points at the end of the sea- son, is the first place team. Ludlow placed sixth this year in a 16 team league. Roland Giguere was high point man on the team. 6©. Also, Roland, Patty Veiga, and Tony Lavoie made i Western Mass this year. - s 113 MEDIA CLUB LIBRARY AIDES The Library Aides were advised by librar- ians Mrs. Ruth French and Mr. Pete Bergeron, with Rosemary Brooks as president. Along with their in- valuable help to the librarians with work in the library, the aides took a trip to the Ham- shire College Library and one to the U. Mass library to see how these excellent librar- ies work and possibly make improvements at LHS. The aides held an end-of-the-year party and a Christmas party, both to which the Media Club was invited and attended. Mr. P. Bergeron Mrs. R. French L. Alivera M. Alves M. Bastos C. Bernardo P.

The Bloodmobile With generosity typical of Ludlow, over one hundred students and towns- people rolled up their sleeves to donate blood to the local chapter of the Red Cross. The gym was a beehive of activity as Red Cross volunteers prepared donors by taking blood samples, medical history, and other facts. This year two bloodmobiles were held at Ludlow High, one on October 27th and the other on March 17th. Anna Luszcz was student coordinator for the bloodbank. 116 “Child, Give Me Your Hand ... This year Santa came early for some children. On December 17th the Child Development classes held their yearly Chris- mas party for the younger brothers and sisters of Child Development students. Activities included making Christmas cards and orna- ments, with the help of some friendly elves. 118 That I May Walk In The Light Of Your Faith In Me.” JCL Christmas Party Again this year the Ludlow High cafe- teria resounded with the voices of children singing Christmas carols. Such was the scene at the JCL Christmas party, put on for children of the community. On Decem- ber 18th, the JCL and their young friends assembled at the school for a day of carols, gifts and good tidings. Santa Claus (alias John Casey) was also on hand with a gift for each child, and there were plenty of Christmas cookies for all. “The Race Is Not For The Swift, Nor The Battle For The Strong .... The Maroon Key Game In keeping with the traditions of Ludlow High School, the Junior and Senior members of Maroon Key sponsored the Maroon Key Basketball Game.

They arrived on March 15th to meet the Ludlow faculty in a game that showed sizzling action from each bench. The Minnechaug JCL helped out this year by playing the Ludlow JCL in preliminary games and by selling tickets to the game. “The Future Does Not Belong .... The Fashion Show On March 15th, members of the Ludlow High School student body brightened up a dreary winter day by modeling new summer fashions that were provided by the Simplicity company.

The Junior Classical League of Ludlow High School calls it “All in the Family Night’. This year, as in past years, “Family Night” was a great evening complete with food and entertainment. Early on the morning of January 29th, Mr. Andreis and a corps of students began preparing the feast. That afternoon, Mr. Bradshaw and another squad of workers readied the room for the gathering. The evening was highlighted by Dr. James Tierney, the guest speaker and new superintendant of schools, and by the music of the “Pipes”. A friendly atmosphere enhanced by candlelight made the annual “All in the Family Night” a truly pleasurable event. “Inch By Inch .... “Magic Moments” For the Juniors and Seniors who attended this year’s Prom, May 20th indeed held many “Magic Moments.” In the beautifully decorated Highpoint Motor Inn, couples from LHS dined and danced until the early hours of the morning. During the course of the evening, judges chose Debbie Mosio as Queen of the Prom, and Lori Manganaro, Gail Machado, Lisa Palatino, and Edith Bennet as her Court. The Class of 1978 coordinated the Prom and did an excellent job in making this year’s prom a truly memorable experience for all who were fortunate enough to attend. We Travel The Roads Of Life . “Picking Up Tiny Pebbles .... “Day By Day” The juniors and seniors were not the only ones enjoying festivities throughout the 1976-1977 year. On April 29th, the sophomores held their annual Sophomore Banquet, entitled “Day by Day.” Music was provided by the “Who’s Who Rhythm Band.” The evening featured fine food and music, and although each of the members of the Class of 1979 had his own style of dancing, smiles were the one thing everyone had in common. 130 131 And Leaving Behind That We Treasure, Those We Stumble Over .... “Taking The First Step Into The Future” On April 1st the freshmen got together for the first time as a class and held their annual Freshman Dance. The Class of 1980 appropriately called their dance “Taking the First Step into the Future’, as it was the first of the many memories they will gather during their high school years. Featured was music by “Aircastle’’, a local band. It proved to be an evening the freshmen will remember always. Of Self Fulfillment .... The Hi-Y Show | 7 When the Hi-Y members chose the title “Just Barely” for their show, they weren’t exaggerating. Though put together in just a few short weeks, the Hi-Y show was pre- sented in typical Hi-Y style, on November 19th. In the 42nd annual show, the highlight of the evening was the crowning of Louise Scyocurka as Miss Victory by outgoing Miss Victory, Anna Luszcz. The talent contest was held again this year and was won by Elaine Saloio, who sang “Send in the Clowns.” Soar sigh Mores aati Kb D é o secre eee ener 1. An earthy pair- Kevin Hill and John Kania. 2.

Headed by Drum Major Bruce Hiorns, the band was bigger than ever. By the look of things, it will be even bigger next year. The marching band wasn’t very busy this year, but there were still half time shows and parades. The half time shows came first and went well. The themes included a Disney Show, Nashville Show, and even a gag show complete with police cars, gun, and Chuck Emery. The parades also went well. The band especially enjoyed the Memorial Day Parade after which the Grange supplied the band with soda and doughnuts. No marching band would be complete without a Color Guard and Majorette Squad. A special thanks must go to these girls for their dedication and colorful addition to the marching events. The Color Guard included Captain Anna Luszcz, Karen Almeida, Donna Clifford, Marie Denette, Laurie Germain, Nora Gurley, Kim Mariani, and Linda Ryczek. The Majorette Squad included Captain Denise Niquette, Joanne Basse, Beverly Johnson, Diane Mongeau, Maria Moura, and Debbie Wagner. 1,2. Bruce Hiorns shoots Chuck after he refuses to return to rank.

Boosted by the thirty-eight freshmen, the largest class in band, the Concert Lions sounded great this year. Under the direction of Mr. Royce E. Layman, the band performed four times. The All-State Festival came first, and under the direction of Mr. Walter Chestnut, the band did a great job. The band also performed at the state competition in Lowell, for the school, and finally at the annual spring concert. Mr. Layman had quite a bit of help this year from Mr. Rick “‘Subdivide’”’ Andersen, a student teacher from the University of Massachusetts. Diane Maurice, Dave Silva and Chuck Emery also helped Mr. Layman with their conducting and, of course, the band officers helped greatly. The officers included Diane Maurice, President, Dave Silva, Vice-President, and Judy Witowski, Secre- tary-Treasurer. A number of bandsmen participated in the district and all-state festivals. Band members who were in the district festival include Elaine Saloio, Sue Pasquini, Lauri Brodeur, Dave Dias, Art Fidalgo, Beth Crandell, Chuck Emery, Craig Layman, Dave Silva, Brian Labodycz, Diane Maurice, Joe Saloio, and Gerard Lavatori. Diane Maurice and Joe Saloio participated in the all-state festival. There were also four bandsmen who were in the Western Mass. Young People Symphony. They inclu- ded Diane Maurice, Elaine Saloio, Sue Pasquini, and Gerard Lavatori. aT Litt } 1. District Band- BOTTOM ROW, Beth Crandell, Diane Maurice, Elaine Saloio.

The year started out with rehearsals for the annual Christmas concert. The Concert Choir, Freshman Choir, Boys and Girls Choruses and the Choral worked hard, and the concert was a success. The Choral was especially busy during the holiday season singing for area groups and churches. After school resumed in January, the choruses were again preparing for a concert, this one in spring. Even in sweltering Jr. High auditorium, the chorus members enjoyed singing “Praise Ye the Lor d”, “Last Words of David”, and “Crucifixus’’. After this second concert, the choir was off and running in preparation for the biggest endeavor in two years; the production of Rogers and Hammerstein musical, South Pacific. No one involved in the production will ever forget the grueling hours of rehearsal or the feeling of accomplishment after the show was over. There were many individuals who distinguished themselves in the District and All-State Festivals. Chosen for district were Cheryl Szczepanek, Kelly Pereira, Debbie Salli, Cindy Simpson, Terry Szlosek, Chris Weaver, Bob Fernandes, John O’Hare, John Casey, Jay Dias, Bill Harris, Dwayne Lyons, Jon Sandman, and Aldo Spadoni. Chosen for the state were Debbie Salli, Chris Weaver, Bob Fernandes, Jay Dias, and John O’Hare. The year ended at the graduation exercises when the combined choirs and concert band performed “Battle Hymn of the Republic”, and tearfully bid farewell to the seniors with “The Lord Bless You and Keep You”. 1.

NAoohwnwre 144 The Drama Club’s major production this year was the very successful THE MOUSE THAT ROARED. The show received raves from audiences with three separate showings, January 21, 22, and 23. The success of the three performances was due largely to the hard work of the show’s director, Mr. Howard Burrage, and his assistants Mary Beth Silva and Helen Shea. The play told the story of Grand Fenwick, a tiny European country that declares war on the United States in order to lose and become rehabilitated, but actually wins the war. Featured in the cast were Laurie A. Germain as the Duchess Gloriana the Twelfth, Michael Fanning as Tully Bascom, Michael Zajchowski as Professor Kokintz, David Lavigne as Count Mountjoy, William Scott as David Benter, Mark Giza as the Secretary of State, Roger Whitworth as General Snippet, Susan Lemieux as Mrs. Bascom and Joe Dubois as Will Tatum. Charles Emery was featured as the President of the United States in the Friday and Sunday performances, with Bruce Hiorns por- traying that role on Saturday night. 1. “Couldn’t I make it just a little safer?” 2. “The new computer the navy sent me was a great help.” 3. “Our decision is irrevocable.” 4. “Don’t pass up a country just because it’s small.” 5. “Professor Kokintz finds the area conducive to research.” 6. Howard Burrage, the man in charge. 7. Mrs. Bascom poses back- stage. 145 A Kind Of Hole On March 4, the Drama Club presented William Jon Watkins’ thought-provoking one-act play, A KIND OF HOLE, to a small but enthusiastic audience at the high school auditorium. The play was a statement of man’s relationship with God. It told the story of Yuey, (Mike Zajchowski) a creator ‘who has been using too much matter in making his miniature creatures, human beings. His bosses, The Big Ones, send three emissaries (Mike Fanning, Mark Giza, and Dave Lavigne) to eliminate him, but the three soon begin to realize that it is Yuey, not the Big Ones, who is truly in control of the situation. The following day, the play was presented in a competition at Cathedral High School and all four members of Ludlow’s cast were named to the All-Star Cast, a select group of the twelve best actors out of the approximately eighty who appeared at Cathedral that day. The play was directed by the Drama Club’s adviser, Mr. Howard Burrage, assisted by Billy Scott. 1. “Hmm, kind of fragil, aren’t they?” 2. Fear grips Uriel, Gabriel and Azrael. 3. “I came here to retire you, and I will!” 4. “Yuey, I can’t stand this any longer!” 5. Yuey is a victim of his own creations. 6. “You're going to put them in it?” 7 and 8. Kim Mariani and Nora Gurley, the make- up ladies, do their thing. 146 Children’s Plays As part of the Easter season, the Drama Club presented a series of three plays for the elementary school students at East Street School, Veterans Park, and Chapin Street School. The plays were supervised by Mr. Howard Burrage and Michael Fanning. Continuity from play to play was provided by two narrators, William Scott and Helen Shea. The first play was the classic bedtime story, “Hansel and Gretel,” directed by Joe Dubois. Following that was “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” by director Mark Giza. Con- cluding the well-received show was “The Unhoppy Bunny,” directed by Michael Wilson. After the show at each of the schools, Brenda Spadoni, in the role of the Easter Bunny, distributed jelly beans to the children. Because of the enthusiastic response from both teachers and students at the three schools, Mr. Burrage has decided to make this one of the Drama Club’s annual activities. 1. Prince Charming, Snow White, and his horse. 2. Directors Mark Giza, Joe Dubois and Mike Wilson pose with “Unhoppy Bunny” cast. 3. The narrators, Little Boy Blue and Mother Goose. 4.

With the help of Mr. Wrinn, Musical Director, Mr. Martin, Stage Director, Diane Maurice and Jay Dias, Student Directors, and Mrs. Wrinn, accompianist, the show was a success. The musical’s plot revolves around Ensign Nellie Forbush, played by Debbie Salli, French plantation owner Emile De Becque, played by Bob Fernandes, and the native, Bloddy Mary, played by Cindy Simpson. The comic character Luther Billis was played by Dean Moorehouse. The show also featured John O’Hare as Joseph Cable and Kelly Pereira as Liat. Other members of the cast inclu- ded Bruce Hiorns as Captain Brackett, Mark Giza as Commander Harbison, and Michelle Gubola and Peter Snyder as Ngana and Jerome. Musical highlights of the show included “There is Nothing Like a Dame” sung by the sailors, “Bali Ha’I” sung by Cindy Simpson, “I’m Gonna Wash that Man Right Outta My Hair” and “I’m in Love with a Wonderful Guy” sung by Debbie Salli, “Happy Talk” sung by Cindy Simp- son, “Honey Bun” sung by Debbie Salli and Dean Moorehouse, and, of course, ‘““SSome Enchanted Evening” sung by Bob Fernandes. 1.

Stageband has existed only to play at Hi-Y Show or to accompany the seniors at Senior Show. This past year, however, that all changed. Led by Mr. Andreis, the stageband had its own concert and played music from the 40’s to the present. As strains from “Moonlight Serenade” and “Pennsylvania 65000” drifted through the auditorium, the audi- ence was taken for a walk down Memory Lane. The audience and the band members especially enjoyed “I’m Getting Sentimental Over You” featuring Chuck Emery, “Graduation Day” with Jay Dias, Jon Sandman, Bob Fernandes, and John O’Hare, “Somewhere” with Diane Maurice, “Aquarius” with Debbie Salli and John Casey, “If We Only Have Love” with Debbie Salli, “After the Lovin” with Gary Rodrigues and “I Write the Songs” with Bob Fernandes. This stageband concert was just the start of something big because Mr. Andreis plans to have one every year and the band members really love it. Let’s hope that next spring the townspeople of Ludlow can take that special trip down Memory Lane again ... and again ... and again ... 153 LHS Artwork a Se Re FOOTBALL The Lions started the season off on the right foot by beating Ware, but this was not indicative of the entire year. Inexperience plagued both the offensive and defensive squads. Coach Bill Kosher and his assistant, Joe Lavoie, were juggling players around all year, trying to find the right balance. The team was led by a few experienced seniors who imparted all the knowledge they could to the younger players. These seniors were in turn led by co-captains Steve McDaniel and Mike Jaquinet. Leading rusher Tony Frogameni and tackle Tom Van Allen were steady performers who always gave 100%. The junior varsity, under coach Steve Marino completed a very promising 5-2 season, while the young freshmen squad of coaches John Godek and Lou Casagrande was 3-4.

Cross Country The cross-country team this year compiled a 5-10 record. This was a drop from last year’s excellent season. Coach Larivee’s best runners were seniors Mike Zajchowski, Norm Fuller, Fernando Jorge, and junior Bruce Hiorns. The bulk of the team were underclassmen, which probably accounts for their inexperience, yet leaves hope for the near future. The JV’s this season went 4-9.

Although their final record was 2-8-3, coach Jeri Barnes’ team competed with only two seniors on the squad. The two seniors were Kim Mills and Debbie Porter, both fine leaders for the younger players. With such returning starters as Sue Green, Laura Gaito, and Doreen Nichols, the field hockey team has definitely acquired the experience to charge to a winning season.

Led by rookie coach Mr. Goncalves and captains John Dias, Alex Alves, Ken Burek, and Peter Ouellette, Ludlow charged through regular season and tourney play with their patented come-from- behind victories. Joel Costa and Hector Gomes, along with Burek and Alves, made All-Western Mass., and Alex was also named the state tournament MVP. With a strong nucleus of returning underclassmen, Coach Goncalves can look forward to another good season. The junior varsity, headed by Coach Jack Vilaca, had a 7-5-4 record, while Coach Albino Goncalves’ promising freshmen squad completed a 7-3-2 year.

This is especially commendable since during the course of the season, many underclassmen gained valuable game experience. The team was led by three seniors who held down key positions most of the year. They were Lynn Gonyea, Kim Mills, and Anna Luszcz. These players were instrumental in the fabrication of a winning season, since they had already felt the agonies of previous defeats. Coach Jeri Barnes can be proud of these people. The JV’s under coach Patti Sullivan, finished with a season record of 3-9. SITTING: D. Clifford, C. Costa, K. Mills, Coach Barnes, A. Luszcz, D. Galarneau, L. Gonyea. STANDING: B. Daehne, A. Reed, F.

The basketball Lions again failed to produce a winning season, although they provided the fans with many exciting games. With a 2-18 season rec ord, the Lions did manage to snap a 21 game losing streak and capture second place in the Monson Christmas Tournament. The team was led by seniors Bill Covington, Ken Ouellette, and Tom Casagrande, along with top-scoring juniors Dan Mortimer and Mike Ostrowski. Coach Brian Connery can expect to have a more experienced, poised team next year with 8 players returning. Coach William Kolodziey’s J.V. team sported an 8-10 record while the freshmen, coached by Tony Goncalves, were 5-9. ROW I: Ken Ouellette, Tom Casagrande, Tony Dias, Mike Sears, Bill Covington.

The Lions also made an appearance in the Western Mass. Tourney where they destroyed Chicopee Comp before bowing to a powerful Holyoke club. Coach Richard Malek’s pucksters were led by senior co-captains Gary Martins and Bill Duquette. The team could also boast of Wright Division scoring champ, senior Tony Moura, and goalie Russ Oliveira. The Lions should continue their winning ways next season due to many returning underclassmen. Mike Sady, Steve Fern, Matt Esteves, Bob Gozdur, and Bob Costa will all be back. The future looks very bright for Ludlow hockey. The JV’s, under coach Tony Costa, Ludlow Opponent completed a successful season.

Baseball The Lions did not fare as well as expected in the 1977 season. They finished with a 6-12-1 record, although that was not indicative of the quality of the team. Eight of the losses were by one or two runs. The team was led by senior co- captains and All-Valley Wheel selections Joel Costa and Tom Casagrande. DH Ken Ouelette and rightfielder Tony Lavoie had good years at the plate. Next year’s team should provide much excitement due to the eleven returning varsity players the team will have. Mike Quaglietti, Mike Sears, Steve Fern, Scott Dunbar, Steve Lavoie, and Brian Bylicki, all of whom started, will be back.

Last year, the team lost many people to graduation, so this year the team was quite inexperienced. The leaders of coach Patti Sullivan’s squad were the only seniors on the team: Lynn Gonyea, Kim Mills, and Mary Dubois. These three girls helped along many of the younger players who will play in the seasons to come. With such a strong underclassmen base, next year’s team should fare well in the league. Players such as leading hitter Ann Reed, third baseman Darcy Galarneau, and the hustling “Stosh” Gaito, will be amongst the returnees. All they need are those evasive “breaks”’.

GOLF The Ludlow High School Golf team could not put together a winning season, although many young players proved to be fine golfers. Coach Dick Malek’s squad was led by the lone senior, Lou Bruschi, along with juniors Mike Ostrowski and Tony Dias. However, the number one golfer was Curk Burgess, a promising freshman. The Lion’s league record was 2-7-1, although this was not indicative of the team’s potential. They did manage to tie the eventual league champs, Minnechaug. This year was a rebuilding one in which many players received valuable match experience.

However, this mark is roughly equivalent to a winning season, since the Lions had to play all of their meets away. Coaches David Larrivee and John Godek depended mainly on upper- classmen to carry the load this year. Seniors like Tom LaMondia, Fernando Jorge, Mike Jaquinet, Norm Fuller, Bruce Thompson, and Dave Reynolds were the workhorses of the team. With such returning athletes as long distance man Bruce Hiorns and shot putter Chris Sycourka, Ludlow should continue to improve.

Parents, relatives, and friends of the Seniors filled the Ludlow High School Auditorium for Class Night. Senior Michael Fanning opened the evening by giving the Invocation. Dr. James Tierney, Superintendent of Schools, followed with the Class Night Address, and Class President, Susan Kuchyt, delivered the State of the School Address. Seniors looked back on their freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior years as the Class Histories were read by Gail Paullo, Cheryl Leete, Sandra Coelho, and Stephen Forslund. Laurie Brodeur and Paul Perreault, the Class Couple, announced the Class Ballot, and Lois Duda read the Class Poem written by Michelle Alves. The program continued as the Class Salutatorian, Charles Emery, delivered the Class Night Oration which received a well-deserved round of applause. Principal John Hurley later presented scholarships and awards to many members of the senior class.

We Can Reach Those In Pain ... SENIOR BANQUET The second event of Senior Week, the Senior Banquet, took place Monday night, June 6, at the Polish American Citizen’s Club. Titled “The Twelfth of Never’, the banquet provided one last chance for the Class of 1977 to join together for an evening of fun. The affair opened with an excellent meal at 6 p.m., and the band followed to provide music for hours of dancing. Seniors, as well as members of the faculty who attended, spent an enjoyable evening, which will be remembered for years to come. The banquet ended all too soon and Seniors now looked forward to Senior Assembly, the third event of Senior Week. We Can Heal Our Own Wounds ... SENIOR ASSEMBLY Tuesday, June 7, Seniors traveled one final time to Ludlow High School. Donning caps and gowns, the Class of 1977 was the guest of the Class of 1978 for a final farewell. Under the direction of Charles Bradshaw, the Juniors put together a program of slides and music to give the Seniors one last look at L.H.S. Tears filled the Seniors’ eyes as they watched this Senior tribute that included the traditional passing of the peacepipe.

The cool evening brought many friends and relatives to Springfield Symphony Hall to witness Commenement Exercises, starting at 8 p.m. Once a dream, graduation now became reality as Seniors entered to “Pomp and Circumstance.” The Reverend Charles H. Kuzmeski gave the Invocation and the L.H.S. Concert Choir and Band combined efforts to provide the music, including the “Battle Hymn of the Republic” and “The Lord Bless You and Keep You.” Miss Patricia Ann Veiga delivered the Valedictory Address, which stressed our need to dare the world and also to love our fellow man. Principal John J. Hurley followed with the presentation of awards to members of the class. The final moment arrived as School Committee Chairman, Richard Tyburski, awarded diplomas to the Class of 1977, and tassels were turned. The Alma Mater was played, and Class President, Miss Susan Adele Kuchyt gave the President’s Message. Her final words brought tears to the now graduated Class of 1977. If We Only Have Love.” 192 93 CLASS POEM 1977 Many years ago, our ideas were woven together, and then we became friends. We shared everything from our most secret dreams to our broken hearts--- Without words to be spoken we figured our friendships would always live on. We have grown together with security and now we have faith. we have had hostility and now we know pain. Now as we walk side by side, and you’re starting to be filled with tears--- you can always say to yourself those were the times--- those are the treasured years.
