THE 1965 VINEYARDER VOLUME VI MARTHA’S VINEYARD REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL MARTHA’S VINEYARD, MASSACHUSETTS FOREWORD Martha’s Vineyard’s historical background, enriched by tales of Indians, adventurers, and sea captains, has inspired many a writer and artist. Although the Vineyard has changed through the years, its spirit, quiet charm and individuality live on. We hope that as you turn the pages of this book you will find that the aspirations, expectations, accomplishments and events of this past school year have been faithfully portrayed and perhaps this ‘Remembrance of Things Past’ will serve to keep alive your picture of our Vineyard as: “Good, honest homefolks, prone to call a spade a spade, and living in a setting where pretentious¬ ness has nt) place in the well-ordered scheme of things: that is Martha’s Vineyard and its people, yesterday, today ' and forever.” J. C. A. While we go our separate ways, keep this book close by as a harbor of refuge. Blanche Willoughby Yearbook Editor 2 , i ' ' ' ' ' , ■ fX r ? t 5 , . ‘ ; - .

DEDICATION Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School has given us many fond memories. Most of all we will remember our classes and the teachers who taught them. Our school is young, striving and grow¬ ing; and each year our faculty has worked for improvement. They have sought new methods, la¬ bored extra hours, and stimulated interest in the student body. It is only fitting that each of us should feel a great debt for the four years we have spent here. In return for the priceless gifts of knowledge and inspiration they have presented, we dedicate this Vineyarder to our FACULTY. The Senior Class wishes them happiness and a feeling of fulfill¬ ment and hopes that we, the Class of 1965, will go forward and some day be worthy of their efforts. 4 N ,V V FACULTY SUPERINTENDENT Charles E.

Davis MARTHA’S VINEYARD REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT CfRCt Of BSIMOMA OAK BLUFFS, MASSACHUSETTS To the Class of 1965: Since time immemorial poets have, with some degree of success, extolled the panoramic beauty that is Martha ' s Vineyard. The impact of what they saw with their eyes and felt with their heart was, as it still is, inexplicable. Such is the magnitude of true beauty— engendered and ornamented by nature and enhanced by time. Such, also, is our island, and whether we are native to her domain or have adopted her as our exalted matron, we are her proud patriots. Although she boasts not of great symphonies, her music enlight¬ ens us; though she speaks not of great artistry, her art unites us; and though she speaks not of great museums, her artifacts enoble us. And lest you think her glitter be less than gold, remember--she con¬ tinues to breed and develop a rugged, sturdy individual that is man and American. Such is your heritage. Congretulations on this happy occasion. May the Vineyard Iale, the green romantic, ever exhort you goaLward. Sincerely, Charles A. Davis, Principal Sponsored by MR. AND MRS. ALBION A. ALLEY, JR. West Tisbury GUIDANCE COUNSELOR The Island with its beauty and its bleakness, its serenity and its confusion, its anger in a cold winter’s wind and its gentleness on a mild October afternoon reveals a little of each graduate’s character. How the valleys and peaks have been exposed in the personality of each through your four years at the Regional High School. You have shown how diverse yet how unique each graduate is. You will all go your various ways yet you will all go with a common experience. We don’t have to fool ourselves into supposing that everyone of you is a genius. Our ideal should be that everyone has the chance to do his best, not only in school but all through life. Few of us know what our best is, and we will not find it by read¬ ing what someone has written on our diplomas or our yearbooks, because the reality is what we ourselves have written on our own minds. The right to an education and a good life is not a passive right. It is the right of each individual in spite of his uniqueness and diversity to discipline and to broaden his mind until he is adaptable enough to carry whatever burden may come. The burdens are now yours. May you carry them with pride and understanding. JOHN J. AHERN 8 SCHOOL COMMITTEE Mrs. Louis Larsen, Chilmark; Mrs. Donald Mills, Edgartown; Dr. Russell S. Hoxsie, Tisbury; Mr. William Honey, Secretary-Treasurer, Tisbuty; Dr. David Rappaport, Chairman, Oak Bluffs; Mr. Herbert Mercier, Vice-Chairman, Ed¬ gartown; Mrs. Ernest Swartz, Tisbury; Mr. Joseph Elvin, West Tisbury; Mr. Jules Ben David, Oak Bluffs. Absent when picture was taken was Mrs. Jose Giles, Gay Head. Once again we have come to the time of the year when our thoughts must be directed towards the future. As you leave the familiar scenes in Oak Bluffs, Edgartown, Vineyard Haven, and up-Island and go forth among the world at large, we hope that we have helped you make your next step much easier. For those of you who are going to remain on the Vineyard, we hope that these familiar sights will have more and more meaning to you, because from these areas, your education was made possible. For those of you going away to study, we hope that you will carry in your heart a small piece of the Vineyard, so that an occasional sight of the familiar scene of Gay Head or Menemsha, or even the busier aspect of the down-island towns, will make one nostalgic of a happy youth. Your faculty and school committee wish you, the Class of 1965, the best of everything in your future endeavors. Sponsored by R. 4. PACKER CO., INC. Vineyard Haven 9 MR.

For those of us who could see college in the future, high school would be a time to prepare our minds for higher education. For others it would be a period of vocational training—a last attempt at formal education. After we had established our purpose at Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School, we began to organize and cooperate toward a common goal—making the Class of 1965 a reality. However, during our Freshman year not much was accomplished. Because we were green and young then, our projects were not well organized and not very profitable. Everyone was glad when our Freshman year was over and we were through being the bottom rung on the ladder. We returned from summer vacation eager to begin anew at making an impres¬ sion on the school. The word “Sophomore” is derived from a Greek word meaning “Wise Fool”, and the members of the class did not fall short of living up to the definition. Faced by reality and the nearness of our Junior Prom, we decided to get busy and earn some money. Bottle drives were in vogue that year, and a good portion of our class treasury was obtained by that means. To honor the football team, many members of which were sophomores, we sponsored a Football Dance. In our Junior year we had pretty much found ourselves and were becoming ac¬ customed to this thing called “high school” having completed one half of it. Many of us were discovering that high school and education were not so bad, and we were beginning to reap tangible rewards. To augment our treasury in preparation for the prom, our class, in conjunction with the Martha’s Vineyard Rod and Gun Club collected donations for a trip to the World’s Fair in New York City. 1 |TJPi| At the graduation of the Class of 1964 we were pensive to see our friends leave, but also a little apprehensive of the nearness of our own graduation. Suddenly we realized how secure we felt knowing that each day school would be there with friends, teachers and a mother-like warmth. After just one more year we would be thrust out into the callous world. Bearing in mind the shortness of time left to make something of ourselves in high school, we attacked our Senior year. It seemed impossible that at last we were the top rung on the ladder. Throughout the year we were taken up with the traditional senior activities—grad¬ uation pictures, personal cards and senior memory albums—giving us tangible proof that we were nearing the goal that we had set for ourselves four years before. When College Board Scores, results of different tests, and college acceptances came in, we saw that students get out of high school only what they put into it. Most of us were assured that we had achieved many important values from these four years of growth. Maturity, self-confidence and discipline are just a few of these. And now as time grows short, we realize that we will not be together as a class much longer. Awards Day, Class Day, and The Senior Banquet pass and finally ar rives what we have all been anticipating—Graduation. We are a bit sad that our high school days are over, but more certainly we are glad, and proud—proud that we have successfully completed four years of high school and secure in the knowledge that we have done our best. Mary Fischer Class Historian 45 IN MEMORIAM To the community and the undergraduates of Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School, the automobile accident which took the lives of our classmates Bruce Abbott and Barry Swartz was a severe shock; to their families, a tragic loss. Still, there are pleasant recollections for all who knew these boys. Their friendliness and their animated spirits won them many friends. Bruce showed interest in chemistry and mathematics and always kept busy. Barry, with a welcome sense of humor, enjoyed bowling, conversation, and just being with people. in their memory, a scholarship fund has been established by Mr. A1 Brickman, to be received by a deserving and needy student of the Class of 1965 who plans to further his education. School and community, friends and classmates will always remember Bruce and Barry. BRUCE ABBOTT BARRY SWARTZ 46 Sponsored by CLASS OF 1965 CLASS OF 1966 The Junior Class, under the direction of our advisors Mr, Maurice Dore and Mr. Samuel Defeo, has had an active and successful year. Members of the class have been active in football, basketball, track and cheerleading; as well as clubs, Chorus, Orchestra, Band and Student Council. Twenty-five members were inducted into The National Honor Society in December of 1964. Plans for our Prom and Variety Show have kept the class busy all winter. We have sponsored a very successful bottle drive and a pen sale. Carol Smith Class Historian FIRST ROW: S. Devine; L. Canha; B. Coutinho; R. Bieber; C. Alley; L. Costa; A. Boren; N. Brooker.

In our sophomore year we have spent our time raising money which will be useful in years to come. So far we have had projects such as selling tooth brushes, a dance, and selling stationery. With the help of our advisors, Mr. Daniel McCarthy and Mr. Milton Weissberg, we have made much progress. Many sophomores have joined in sports and clubs, more than the participants of last year.

It was rather a large building, we thought; but eventually we got to know it as well as the teachers. Now it seems as if we had been there always. We have quite a large class of ninety-two members, the largest in the school; and that gave some of us something to stand on. We learned the different ways of doing things in the Regional and started to have our class meetings. Our class advisors are Mr. Robert Hyde and Mr. Eldon Paradis, two gentlemen who have helped us con¬ siderably. Our first project, and a very successful one, was a food sale. It helped us get on our feet. This year has ended quite quickly and we have enjoyed it. We look forward to our sophomore year and our next years at the Regional High School.

Latin, Spanish and French are the languages of¬ fered. Grammar and vocabulary are stressed so that an ability to read, speak and write the lan¬ guage may be attained. Emphasis is also placed on the culture of the people. Although the depart¬ ment is well equipped, it is hoped that a language laboratory may be acquired soon. Through the four-year English pro¬ gram, the students gain an under¬ standing of Shakespearen works; they also learn to interpret literature and poetry along with a working knowl¬ edge of the basic principles of gram¬ mar and composition. In conjunction with the English courses already of¬ fered, a new program of developmental reading under the direction of Mr. Joseph Robichau has been set up this year in which the students are able to acquire new reading skills. ENGLISH Sponsored by 58 MORRICE FLORIST GOODALE CONSTRUCTION CO. Vineyard Haven F. E. LESLIE’S DRUGGIST, INC ELIZABETH ROGERS, BEAUTICIAN SCIENCE Science occupies an outstanding place in our world today. In keeping with the times the science department has equipped its students with the knowledge and know-how to appreciate the many advances of our progressing world. A new course. Biology II, making further study in Biology avail¬ able, has taken its place among the other science courses already offered, namely—Earth Science, Biology I, Chemistry, Physics, Space Science and General Science. Some of these courses included interesting weekly lab sessions. An important part of each course was the annual science fair, into which much thought and time was put by the students. MATHEMATICS The department of mathematics has been gradually modified to keep up with the increasing emphasis upon and need of technology in today’s world. The courses offered cover a broad range from Shop Mathematics and General Arithmetic to Advanced Math. There is a math course for each stu¬ dent. Modern textbooks and equipment are used not only to teach the stu¬ dents the principles and laws but also to develop logical thinking and form a wide background for future studies. 59 SOCIAL STUDIES Our social studies department under the direction of Mr. Elliott Knight offers a wide range of study in the areas of history, geography, sociology, and government. Supplementing regular classroom ac¬ tivities with the use of current events publications and audio-visual aids helps students to gain broad¬ er con cepts of their place in today’s world. HOME ECONOMICS This year, the home economics class seems to have accomplished quite a bit. Many articles of clothing have been turned out, as with the usual Vineyarder aprons which have to be made by the students who have taken the course for the first time. Simple dishes of food have been pre¬ pared under the direction of Mrs. Drew. 60 INDUSTRIAL ARTS Shop, under the direction of Mr. Eldon Paradis and Mr. Gerald Paradis, ' provides courses in mechanical drawing, woodworking and metal working. There are good pieces of equipment, and one sees the students using their hands to construct some very interesting things. The industrial arts program serves a very practical and useful purpose in our school plant and helps prepare the students for life in our progressive society. PHYSICAL EDUCATION The physical education classes have been con¬ centrating on a vigorous program of physical ex¬ ercises to begin each class. Early in the season the girls participated in intramural softball while the boys were preparing for football season. The girls were introduced to and drilled on new techniques for basketball. A physical fitness test of 12 graduated levels of exercise was completed by all physical education students. 61 BUSINESS It is the aim of the busi¬ ness department to provide background and training to the student so that he may succeed in the business world. We have two sec¬ tions; namely, the clerical or general office work and the stenographic or secretarial area. We strive to develop a well-rounded office worker who will develop an under¬ standing of his business sur¬ roundings. DRIVER TRAINING The academic portion of the driver-training course was taught by Mr. Eldon Paradis. Beginning in Sep¬ tember and lasting through November, the course teach¬ es students fundamental skills of driving, parts of the car and many rules of driving. Mr. James Adams, the on-the-road instructor, has been most successful in helping students obtain their driver’s licenses. Sponsored By 62 OAK BLUFFS MERCANTS ' ASSOCIATION JAMES S. REGO, JR.—INSURANCE AGENCY Oak Blulfs ROGER SURPRENANT, DISTRIBUTOR PHILLIPS HARDWARE STORE SEMINARS Continued for its third year under the direction of Dr. George Matthiessen, the Marine Biology Seminar met each Saturday morning. The eighteen-week course was di¬ vided into three parts, phys¬ iology, taxonomy and ecol¬ ogy. The classwork was sup¬ plemented by guest-speakers, laboratories and field trips. LIBRARY The Current Events Sem¬ inar, in its second year un¬ der the direction of Mrs. Le- Roy Erickson, used the Great Decisions — 1965 kit for study of the problems fac¬ ing America today. Books, magazines, and newspaper articles were also used to help furnish information for discussion on such important topics as civil rights, foreign aid and disarmament. At the conclusion of the seminar the class sent their individ¬ ual recommendations to their congressman. For hundreds of years, a library was a place to house books for use. But in today’s changing world, it contains books as well as records, films, clippings and maga¬ zines. Our library contains not only 4,500 books, but it also has subscriptions to over 30 magazines, a vertical file of over 150 subjects, and an audio-visual section with numerous collections of tapes and filmstrips.

RUG MAKING CLUB We are very fortunate to have the ancient art of rug making taught in our school. Rug making is not too com¬ plicated process of braiding pieces of cloth, usually wool, and then sewing them into a circle or rectangle to form a rug. For the first time, a Review Math Club was organized for students interested in reviewing the areas of mathematical study that they have pre¬ viously encountered. It began with only a small membership but has gradually grown. The mem¬ bers have also been studying problems in prep¬ aration for the College Entrance Examinations. YOUNG DEMOCRATS’ CLUB The Young Democrats’ Club has attempted to fur¬ ther knowledge and interest in American politics among our future voters knowing that all too few people exer¬ cise their right to vote. They did this hoping to help fu¬ ture generations engage in intelligent political activity. B. Berube; R. Bassett; Mr. Littlefield, Advisor; C. Convery; J. Sawyer; P. Lilienthal.

Drake; E. Richards; M. Anderson; Y. Garvin; N. Moreis; D. Duart. To learn the fundamentals of nursing was the members’ goal. It helps prepare these girls for later years outside of school and hopefully in the field of nursing. FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA This year saw the founding of the FTA, under the direction of Mrs. Costa. It has attempted to explore teaching as a career, so that interested students will be aware of what is ahead in this field. Trips were taken to the elementary schools on the Island for conferences with teachers at different grade levels. Hoping for practical experience, the club offered its assistance to the principals.
