Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1964 volume:

t - VOLUME V PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS MARTHA’S VINEYARD REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL MARTHA’S VINEYARD, MASSACHUSETTS NINETEEN HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOUR FOREWORD No man is an island unto himself.” For us Islanders, these words take on a special meaning. Because we are surrounded by water, we are more close knit than our counterparts off Island. Our lives are intertwined with those of our friends, teachers, and acquaintances. Soon, however, our boundaries will expand and these ties will no longer be so close. When we leave Martha’s Vineyard, we will leave a way of life that is unique. We shall unavoidably forget some of our experiences here. The 1964 Vine¬ yarder is to help you remember the fun, the worries, the classes, and classmates of your high school years.

Al¬ though it is always conceded that there are those in the background who teach, direct and help correct all the little mistakes, it is most often these people who are left in the dim light when every¬ thing is completed; yet they remain satisfied mere¬ ly knowing that all is well done. One such person is our yearbook advisor, Miss Barbara Lassen. She has untiringly helped not only this class but many others in producing works such as this—the 1964 Vineyarder. Never has she shown any indication of reluctance in spending one minute of the long hours she has given to the guidance of the combined yearbook staf fs, especially at the beginning when we were all new at our jobs. One of those who helped us most through two years of our high school career need not have bothered with us at all. He was not an advisor, nor in any way obligated to assist us. Yet Mr. Ralph Snow gave unselfishly of his time and energy to help the class of 1964 become a greater power in the Regional. With his help, we put on two plays which were on all counts successful. Yet more important than that he made us realize that the product itself was not sp important as the means to achieve it. All actors enjoyed rehearsals because of the air of fun and friendship. Even in the frantic two weeks before the play, the atmos¬ phere was not clouded by undue tension. However, Mr. Snow was more than a director, he was a teacher. And as a teacher he brought alive the spirit of men, women and events long passed. He carried the feeling of the rehearsals into the classroom. Although he is no longer with us we feel his influence and will long remember what he has done for us. For their unselfish dedication to helping others help themselves, we respectfully dedicate the 1964 Vineyarder to Miss Barbara Lassen and Mr. Ralph Snow. 6 SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE In his epic poem the Aeneid, the Latin poet Virgil has immortalized the voyage of Aeneas and his Trojan countrymen who left the land of their fathers and set forth in search of a site where they might begin anew the illustrious heritage which we know as Roman Civilization. The hardships, the triumphs, the despair and the hopes of that courageous band are all brilliantly portrayed in this masterpiece of world literature. Throughout your school days, having embarked upon your Sea of Learning,” you, as Aeneas, have undergone seemingly endless periods of mental and physical exertions and discipline; at times the new land, the attainment of your goals, might have appeared hopelessly obscured in the mountainous seas of academic requirements, frustrating setbacks and burdens so necessary in any worthwhile crusade. Now that your promised day of graduation has come and the fates have fulfilled their destined hours, I congratulate you. May the pathways which you follow lead to success and happiness. 8 PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE It’s spring again and your all-exciting, long-awaited graduation beckons you. Soon your ears will ring with three traditional, but heart-felt, felicities: congratulations, good luck, and Godspeed. The first of these, congratulations, I extend to you on the happy occasion of your graduation. May whatever you have put into your secondary school education serve you well. The second of these, good luck, is the hiatus between the first and the last—may it always be with you in goodly measure; and it always will be so long as you remember that the harder you work the more of it you will seem to have. The last, Godspeed, for the future tha t you have studied and planned for begins today. Congratulations, good luck, and Godspeed. ARTCLIFF DINER ATSCO OIL COMPANY Sponsored By J. CAMPBELL CO., INC. DUKE ' S COUNTY GARAGE Vineyard Haven 9 GUIDANCE COUNSELOR’S MESSAGE With new knowledge and techniques which have become available only in the last decades, man is now beginning to tap undersea riches. Though his relationship to the sea is still that of primitive hunter rather than cultivator, he is on his way at last to exploiting it for food, water, minerals and control of his climate.” This quote, taken from Life magazine’s nature library, might very easily refer to each member of the class of 1964. With the new knowledge and techniques which have become available to you in the past few years, you may now begin to tap the undersea riches of your potential. However, instead of being accomplished in the art of life you are but the primitive hunter” somewhat awkwardly seeking the depths of your own personality. The limitless scope of your individual powers is indeed frightening but very challenging. You have taken the first step in this sounding of your own depths. It is my sincere hope that you are now able to seek out and conquer the challenges and responsibilities you are about to face in the uncharted waters of adult life. MARTHA’S VINEYARD REGIONAL As you approach the end of your school year and look forward to the future, you go forth confident in the fact that all the necessities for a tight ship have been presented to you. We hope that the basic equipment we have given you will allow you to steer a true course and enable you to achieve the ultimate goals you set up. We wish you well and the best of luck.

Mortician ' s Union 29418” 43 HISTORY OF Revenge on one of make-up crew-1961. During the four years that the class of ’64 has been at the Regional, it has presented three plays. The first of the series was presented in the Freshman year and was given only for the students and for the benefit of the parents of the players. It was entitled Old Ghosts at Home,” a mystery-ghost comedy as seen through the eyes of two elderly spirits.” It provided chuckles for all who attended. Regardless of the fact that it had only a very limited audience in the Music Center, it pleased both the players and the director very much. Our director, Mr. Joseph Robichau, saw us through time of tiring line learning to get to the finished product. He led us forward on the path which even¬ tually emerged at the Junior Class Play. The dramatic offering of the Sophomore year was also a mystery-comedy. This year, how¬ ever, the ghosts were replaced by a seemingly dead body which performed some rather odd tricks not usually attributed to those who have passed on. The mystery was eventually cleared up by a pair of boys who had the unfortunate experience of sleeping with the dead body” in a Act 11-1962 mortuary. Finders Creepers” provided some delightful moments for the audience, and some harrowing ones for our director, Mr. Ralph Snow. Mr. Snow took over the reins from Mr. Robichau and held them until the final night of the Junior play. One of the fonder memories of the actors and stagehands has been the exclama¬ tions of horror and dismay from our director which accompanied every miscalculation on stage during rehearsal. Although Mr. Snow swore he would be haggard and grey by the 44 Curtain Call-1962 OUR CLASS PLAYS end of the year, his prediction never came true ... he was not grey, just haggard. Came the Junior year and Mr. Snow and his players were back with a presentation entitled Hillbilly WeddinV’ The long-suffering di¬ rector was trying for another shot at making actors of a group of untutored Juniors. Thus began -a winter of frustration on the part of Mr. Snow and the actors.” The plot of the play was concerned with a family of country One of many rehearsals Mr. Snow folk who lived in the mountains. The father had to marry off” his oldest (and ugliest) daughter before her prettier sisters could be hitched.” This was carried out by means of a shotgun wedding in the literal sense of the word. Paw” presided over the goings-on and the marriage was eventually carried out. Even if there was a different groom at the end of the ceremony than at the beginning, there were many laughs. There are still some that go around when someone remembers a particularly amusing incident. Even now when some of us go into the Music Center for an event, we can still see Mr. Snow acting out something that one of the actors just couldn’t get. The laughter, the frus¬ tration, the strained tempers and the triumphs are what we will remember about our class’s three-year experience with the stage. We want to thank Mr. Robichau and Mr. Snow for their respective years of co-operation in our efforts. To all who helped make the three-year, six performance tour a happy one, we extend our deepest thanks and appreciation.

This omen did not bother us as we eagerly began our climb toward thefgoal we had all set—graduation. We soon found that there would be many steps and plateaus before we would reach this summit. Almost im¬ mediately, our members became immersed in orchestra, chorus, sports, and clubs. Then, with a flurry of activity, came our first class elections and the subsequent organization of the class. Under the guidance of the Speaker’s Club with its advisor, Mr. Joseph Robichau, our class presented a play en¬ titled Old Ghosts at Home.” This play was experimental in nature and surpassed our hopes in its success. In our freshman year, we also sponsored our first class dance, April Love.” Like all freshman dances, we made little money but had much fun! It was during this spring that many of us attended our first prom, and hoped that ours would be twice as beautiful. Then, June was upon us, and those Seniors that we really didn’t know were leaving. We wondered I 1 fe ' £ it f ■ I f¥ a. i | (T mm |i ' ujj 4 ' ' JfP 5 Wjjy? EDGARTOWN ■ i Tf w tr A Mi what it would be like for us in three years. We had reached the first plateau of our climb. All too soon September was here again. Having elected our officers the previous spring, we were able to organize quickly and thus sponsored a football dance early in the fall. In December, we began again to consider presenting a play. This year, Mr. Ralph Snow agreed to direct our enthusiastic efforts. Soon after Christmas we settled down to rehearsals for Finders Creepers.” But, before that we encountered mid-year examinations for the first time. Needless to 48 VINEYARD HAVEN Honor Society. Many more were active in the other extracurricular a ctivities offered at the Regional. This year we again presented a play— Hillbilly Weddin’,” under the di¬ rection of Mr. Snow. Regretfully, this was the last of our class plays. In the fall of our Junior year we carried out a very successful bottle drive. We soon started work on our Junior Prom. We worked and planned through the year for this event under the leadership of Wendy Andrews, Prom Chair¬ man, and finally the last week arrived. It say, these provoked a great deal of hair¬ pulling and shrieks of anguish from our classmates. In spring of that year, we elected our Junior class officers, our future year¬ book editor, and Junior Prom Chairman. We also ordered our class rings. We were now halfway up our arduous stairway, a very pleasant feeling! In September 1962 we received.our class rings. Although they felt strange at first, they soon became an integral part of our costumes. During this year, twenty-two of our members were admitted to the National was truly a frantic time as the gym was transformed into a beautiful Roman Gar¬ den.” This was the highlight of our Junior year, and the effect it produced was lasting enough to remain with us forever. Judith Swartz was a gracious queen with her court of four. Several members of our class attended the Youth and Economics Conference at Bridgewater; and the Harvard-Radcliffe Model United Nations in the spring of this year. Also, at this time, many of us took our College Boards and the National Merit tests. Barbara Thomas received a commenda¬ tion from the latter foundation as a result of her achievement. 49 tion, plans went full speed ahead for our variety show, Seniors Are Like That,’’ un¬ der the direction of Barbara Smith. This was a new idea to the class, and many different and hilarious acts were presented. Soon col¬ lege acceptances began to arrive, ending the mounting anxiety. Committees, which had been working quietly all year on the Senior Ball, Banquet, and the many other aspects of graduation itself, now began to emerge, as they wound up final details. We were ready for the last step in our climb. Graduation is here. We have reached our summit, and we look around at a world that we have yet to conquer. It is ready for us, and we have but to go into it and eventually our dreams and desires will become true. June rushed upon us and brought the graduation of the Senior Class. Kenneth Duarte proved to be a very able graduation marshal that year. Many of our friends were leaving, and we began wondering about our own future. The Guidance Office was a busy place that spring, for we had but a short climb left. On returning in September, it was difficult to realize that we were now illustrious Sen¬ iors ! Again we trekked to the Guidance Office; discussed the many different schools; and received, filled out, and mailed applica¬ tions. Then began the seemingly endless waiting for replies. In October, we sponsored the traditional Halloween dance. Work began early in the year on our yearbook, The Vineyarder,” as we rushed to meet various deadlines. In De¬ cember our Senior pictures arrived and we ordered our announcements and personal cards for graduation. After Christmas vaca- Judith Leonard Class Historian Sponsored by J.

We didn’t know exactly what to do or where to go. But soon, to our relief, we became an active part of the high school. In December, encouraged by our class advisors, Mr. Daniel McCarthy and Mr. Milton Weissberg, we did a high-pressure selling job of stationery and contributed a good amount to our class fund. As a group we were represented in a variety of student activities. Members were active in the orchestra, the clubs, the basketball teams and the cheerleaders.

Early in that year we held a candy sale which was the starting point of our many activities. As we entered our Sophomore year, we found ourselves with a new advisor, Mr. Maurice Dore. We have held two food sales, both very successful. These sales were held in Vineyard Haven and Edgartown. Now, as we look forward to our Junior and Senior years, we find ourselves thinking about our Prom and other projects that will bring us closer to graduation.

Selling book covers, which we had bought from the Class of 1963, was our first project. In October we sponsored a dance to honor the football team. To raise more money, in December the class sold Christmas candy. Preparations for the Junior Prom, our biggest event of the year, have kept us busy all winter. In football, basketball, track and cheerleading Juniors were prominent. The new members of the National Honor Society were inducted during an impressive ceremony, early in 1964.

Another busy day begins . . . INDUSTRIAL ARTS The purpose of the indus¬ trial arts program is to pre¬ pare students for life in an industrial society. Its am is to teach them to use their minds as well as their hands while working and to meet the de¬ mands of the society in which they shall have to live. This year under the new direction of Mr. Paradis the practical areas of this course have been rounded out. At the beginning of the year, woodworking and technical drawing were the only full courses in operation. Since then, the practical part of the program has been pen fected. More equipment has been made available. Metal working and power mechanics have been added to the list of complete courses. HOME ECONOMICS This four-year course teach¬ es girls many of the different aspects of Home Economics. It includes both elementary and advanced sewing as well as cooking, home planning, and house design. Each girl begins the course by making a Vineyard apron and then goes on to more dif¬ ficult items. In cooking they concentrate mainly on simple dishes after an extensive study of food itself. 62 BIOLOGY The Biology course makes it possible for the students to become better acquainted with the living things which inhabit the earth. There are available to the student many instruments to aid in his in¬ vestigation into the science of life. Microscopes, dissec¬ tion kits, bottled specimens and the like all help the stu¬ dent learn more about his fellow creatures. The addition of an extra lab period plus the introduction of Biology II next year give the students an even greater opportunity to le ' arn. CHEMISTRY The Chemistry class, under the direction of Mr. Stewart, was introduced to the inter¬ esting and exciting world of elements, compounds, and mixtures. As part of the re¬ quired work, each student prepared a project to be used in the science fair. It is hoped that many of the students will continue their work in chemistry. A welcome break. 63 I OFFICE MACHINES The office machine class is under the supervision of Mrs. Costa. Each student spends ap¬ proximately two weeks learn¬ ing the operation of a par¬ ticular machine: calculators, duplicator, mimeograph ma¬ chines, and adding machines. The students often assist many teachers by mimeographing and typing student worksheets. GIRLS’ PHYSICAL EDUCATION This year the girls’ physical education program has en¬ couraged students to develop both physical skills and sports¬ manship while enjoying their recreational activities. Earlier in the year a tennis program was introduced, in which the girls learned the basic strokes and scoring principles of the game. While the weather was good, the girls participated in the outdoor activities of softball and archery. Also in¬ troduced this season was a new exercise program, con¬ sisting of 44 graduated levels of exercise. Each girl complet¬ ed the levels at her own speed and advanced to the next higher level. CLASS MEETINGS Class meetings are held on the first and third Tuesday of each month. Each class assembles in their respective locations where the officers discuss the business at pres¬ ent. Each class has two ad¬ visors which offer suggestions and give helpful advice. The meetings help prepare the stu¬ dents for participation in fu¬ ture organizations and also acquaint them with the basics of parliamentary procedure. 64 MARINE ECOLOGY SEMINAR This is the second year that the .Marine Seminar has been in existence. Last year the course was Marine Biol¬ ogy, and this year it was Marine Ecology. These semi¬ nars are under the direction of Dr. George Matthiessen, who invites eminent scientists from the Woods Hole Ocean¬ ographic Institute to come speak to the class each week. Since each is an expert in one, the participants are able to gain a nore .exact knowl¬ edge of the field being dis¬ cussed. Besides lectures, the class goes on field trips to see many of the different aspects of marine science. CURRENT EVENTS SEMINAR New this year, this course is entirely voluntary. Like the Marine Ecology Seminars the members meet on Saturday morning. The seminar is based on the Great Decisions kit put out by the Foreign Policy ' Association. Each week the members discuss certain as¬ pects of foreign policy, such as disarmament, communism and the role the United States should play in the world.
