At the Awards Assembly later that month, many Juniors were awarded prizes and honors. Linda Rappoli was presented with the Elmira College Key for scholastic achievement, while at graduation in June, Richard Hussey was given the Harvard Book Award. However, our Sophomore and Junior years were only preparations for the many duties and responsibilities which we were to assume in the school as Seniors. Many members of our class accepted executive positions in the extracurricular organizations in the school. Joanne Martin became editor of the literary magazine, The Interpreter, and Linda Rappoli headed the Headlight staff. Richie Seibel was the President of the Student Council and Steve Limon was appointed edi- tor-in-chief of the 1964 yearbook. Countless others of our classmates took on the responsibilities of Club presidencies, team captainships, and committee chairmanships. Mr. Walsh was our class advisor and with Mr. Beach on Sabbatical leave, Mr. Lovely was especi- ally helpful to us. Two hard working boys and two conscientious girls, Karl Spitzer, Ricki School, Doug Seaver, and Pat Sullivan, were elected class officers in a rigorous and close election in Sep- tember. Susan Ackland-Horman was with us from Australia this year as our exchange student and in January two young boys from Chile ioined the M.H.S. student body, Jaime de la Fuente, and Rene Silberstein. National Merit Scholarship results were in and we claimed fame with Mike Meo and Bob Naidus who were semi-finalists, and the following who received letters of com- mendation: Ed Pothier, Chris Cheney, Louise Bolnick, Rich Hussey, Judy Goldberg, Steve Limon, Phil Harvey, Doug Seaver, Jean Skelton, Judy Soule and Bob Zimman. Karl Spitzer was voted the best citizen of the Senior Class and presented the Jewish War Veterans' Fellowship award. Doug Seaver was sent to the Student Government day, Bob Naidus, Janet Fitzpatrick, Steve Limon, and Richie Seibel went to represent our school in the High School Model Congress, and Richie was once again sent to the Massachusetts Convention of Student Councils. On November 22, 1963, the national tragedy of the assassination of our President, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, caused the postponement of our Senior Play. Therefore December was a doubly busy, and financially successful month for our class. The Boyfriend was presented the weekend of Dec. 13 and 14, and a week later we put on the Christmas Dance, The Toy Shop. As Christmas vacation approached so did our Mid-Year Exams, the deadlines for College Ap- plications, due dates for our term papers, and the last of our College Entrance Examinations. With all of these behind us, by the end of January, we could all feel Spring rushing in upon us. ln April, College notices came, the class took its trip to Stratford-on-Avon to see Hamlet. ln May, marks continued to fall as they had since Mid-Year, and the days and weeks sped by. Then there was Senior Week and all of its festivities upon us. Having redeemed our reputation after a small cafeteria incident of the spring of 1963, and renewed administrative faith in our be- havior, we were able to have our Senior Reception. lt was followed by the exhausting but ever so thrilling week of parties, the banquet, baccalaureate, graduation, and never ending Good- bye's and Good Lucks. As suddenly as it had become a part of our future, Marblehead High School became a part of our past. But what is important is, will you remember the Class of 1964? If you can recall M.H.S.'s first record hops, its first tri-colored captained football team, the Pep Club, the first club charters, all of the petitions, if you can recall Mike Meo and his Chronicle, and the Chronically Sick satire, if you can recall the unprecedented degree of intellectual spirit and student activity that prevailed during our years at M.H.S., then you will remember Marblehead's Class of 1964. 127

jzglsfory qfffe GQJJ 0 1964 To the intellectually alert and energetic students of the Class of 1964, lethargy was an un- known. The things we learned, the work we did, the changes we made, and the fun we had at M.H.S. had a profound effect upon us as individuals and upon the Marblehead High School tra- dition as well. Will you remember the Class of 1964? With Mr. McKey as our class advisor, during our Sophomore year, we rushed to meet the re- sponsibilities and privileges of being a fullfledged part of the High School community. Our cap- able class officers were quickly chosen, Karl Spitzer, Joan Fitzpatrick, John McGoey, Linda Good- win, and Terry Radcliffe, and along with committees, they chose our class colors, copen and navy, and selected a motto for us to live by here at school and throughout later life- They succeed who believe they can. Our class project for that year was the selling of personalized stationery. April rolled around and with the guidance of our social advisor, Miss Dwinell, we put on our colorful Sophomore Dance, The Carnival. That year also, the Twelfth Night cast, including several of our classmates, presented a part of their play at the State Drama Festival, sweeping the prizes and all-state cast members. Some weeks later Diane Kemelman and Jeff Randolph accompanied Miss Fox to the National Drama Festival in Indiana. Summer vacation came and went. Soon we found ourselves Juniors, and on the brink of a very exciting year in many respects. Mr. Johnson and Mrs. Giles, our class advisors for that year, worked closely with our Junior Class officers recently elected, Duncan Facey, Linda Goodwin, Bob Rottenberg, and Jeanne Clark in our sale of fudge and in the buying of our class rings which arrived in December of 1962. Meanwhile, candidates for the American Field Service Program had been narrowed down to four students. They were Gail Anderson, Phil Harvey, Steve Limon and Terry Radcliffe. In March Phil and Steve stood alone. Both hoped to represent our country abroad. ln June they were notified, and Steve was flown off to the Philippines for perhaps the three most wonderful months of his life. ln the spring of our Junior Year, there were many exciting events. John McGoey, Dick Hus- sey, Richie Seibel and Steve Steele attended the Massachusetts Convention of Student Council Representatives, and Philip Harvey won the annual Junior Chamber of Commerce Speech contest. The Band and Orchestra had their exchange concert with Newport, Rhode Island. Gn May 2 the National Honor Society tapping Assembly was held and the following persons were elected to the association, Jeanne Clark, Doug Seaver, Phil Harvey, Karl Spitzer, Dick Hussey, Mike Meo, Bob Naidus, Richard Seibel, Jim Shuman, Chris Cheney, Richard Schwartz, and Linda Rappoli. The very next day, May 3, 1963, the Class of 1964 presented its Junior Prom which was a Rhapsody in Blue. The gym was decorated with lovely trees, rock gardens, and blue murals, and the ceiling having been lowered by the use of white parachutes, contributed to a magnificent effect.
