y i N E Y A R D E R 1966 VOLUME VII PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS MARTHA’S VINEYARD REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL MARTHA’S VINEYARD, MASSACHUSETTS FOREWORD Does anyone know where time conceals itself after fleeing from the grasp of those who wish to capture it? Where have the years gone? The class of 1966 is graduating with the realization that four precious years are behind us, years that we cannot have back. We can, however, remember those ful¬ filling, frustrating, wonderful times. The 1966 Vine¬ yarder is designed to stimulate our memories, to help us recall the years spent at Martha’s Vineyard Re¬ gional High School. Time cannot be stopped; nor can any moment actually be relived, but memories can be as vivid as the original events themselves. I hope that the 1966 Vineyarder is able to bring back many fond memories.

When we think back now, we realize that Mr. Defeo was there with us in every skit, every song, and every dance. Again, let us recall that horrid first night of decorating for the Junior Prom. Suddenly we faced the facts. All our long months of planning and sketching must be turned into reality in one short week. Our mainstay through that ordeal was Mr. Dore, the first to come and the last to leave. To remember that correctly, we must think tall,” for Mr. Dore was usually atop the highest ladder, saying little but doing much. These are only two examples of all they did for us, the Class of 1966. We may have been brief in some of our thank you’s, but now we hope Mr. DeFeo and Mr. Dore will always remember us as we shall always remember them. Therefore, we respectfully dedicate our 1966 VINEYARDER to them. Mr. Maurice Dore Mr. Samuel DeFeo A class is what the students make it. The appraisal good” or bad” usually depends on scholastic and athletic achieve¬ ments, but these are not the only requirements that will make everyone say, Yes, the Class of ’66 was a good’ class!” Other activities will certainly be taken into consideration—the dances, the food sales, the ticket-selling triumphs, the variety show, the yearbook, the senior banquet, commence¬ ment, and, of course, let us not forget the all-important jun¬ ior prom. Behind these successes, so proudly remembered by ninty- six students, there must be someone who taught, directed, and helped the class through little chores like building a ceiling for a prom or getting a chorus to sing in tune for a variety show. Such unsung heroes are usually left behind in the dim light when everything is completed, content with knowing that all was well done. The Class of ’66 has been especially fortunate in the brand of help we have had. From our earliest food sale in 1962 all the way through to preparations for graduation, two men have given unselfishly of their time and never-ending energy—Mr. Samuel DeFeo and Mr. Maurice Dore, our Class Advisors. Whatever projects we have attempted, they have been always behind us, tirelessly assisting, and guaranteeing our success. 6 ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY SUPERINTENDENT TO THE CLASS OF 1966: The four years of high school are many things to many people. However, the one thing which they are to all people is an opportunity. An opportunity, as an opportunity, is never a settled question. It only opens itself to a whole realm of possibilities. The efforts of your high school, then, have been directed toward making these four years a successful confrontation of the challenges to which you have been exposed. We hope that, with your experiences, we have caused you to concentrate on nourishing every aspect of emerging adulthood. We hope that we have aided in developing your intellect so that you may attain not only proficiency in a narrow field of human en¬ deavor but also in the broad field of living life well. We hope that we have provided for you not mere instruction but true education—a literal leading out”—so that you will be compelled to lead yourselves out from mere wise thinking to the more noble task of wise living. As you leave, we expect that you will become the kind of persons who will strive to make manhood the very highest of professions. We wish for each of you success and contentment in attaining your goals. 8 PRINCIPAL We live in time of change—times of fearfulness, times of opportunity, and times of enthusiasm. If you believe that these are times of fearfulness only, then you are gullible enough to think there are natural powers working against you. Believe instead that life is not fighting you; that those powers which are working so well for everyone else can also work for you. If you believe that these are times of opportunity, then you are wise enough to know that life offers you a multitude of opportunities; opportunities which multiply as they are seized but decay when neglected. Believe in the existence of limitless opportunities; and, so long as you keep an open mind, there will always be a frontier. If you believe that these are times of enthusiasm, then you have the understanding to recognize that fires cannot be kindled with dead embers and that enthusiasm cannot be embodied by spiritless men. Believe that the worst bankrupt in the world is the fellow who has lost his enthusiasm and possessing it not he is without new ambition, void of new efforts, lacking in new aspirations, and further encumbered by his lack of new vision. On this happy occasion of your commencement I leave you with this one thought: There are no hopeless situations, only hopeless men who, like an ostrich with its head in the sand, are as blind to opportunity as to disaster; for they lack the enthusiasm which lubricates the mind and marks the difference between leaders and laggards. Congratulations and Godspeed. S omu GUIDANCE COUNSELOR In the years to come vital issues are forming in which you and your entire future will be involved. These are the issues of freedom. Taken together they add up to your right to live, to work, and to seek happiness in the way we have always known, free of autocratic domination, free of war, or poverty and ignorance, and free of any re¬ strictions imposed on us by color, race, or religion. With the enlightenment and awareness achieved as a result of World War II by the people in Latin America, in Africa, and in the Middle and Far East, they became deter¬ mined to alleviate their poverty, their ignorance, and their hunger. These backward societies all over the world are emerging. In the only way they know, through violence, if necessary, they are demanding equal social and economic advantages with the rest of the world. These international issues, coupled with the great social upheavals in our own country, are testimony to the changing world you will enter. You will be part of them. You will be challenged by them and, depending on your thoughts and decisions, your actions, and your conscience, you will help to mould your country and the world as you think it should be, in freedom. The best and only way for each of you to accomplish this goal is through participation in community and public life. Each of us has certain abilities to contribute. The degree to which we make this contribution determines the quality of government we have, either, national or in the community. Our government, as Lincoln said, is by and of the peo¬ ple,” no more, no less. Sponsored by EDGARTOWN POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION Edgartown 10 SCHOOL COMMITTEE The school committee extends its congratulations to the class of 1966 and wishes you the best for the future. It is apparent from the extrinsic forces of a diminishing world that the young people of today cannot terminate their education upon graduating from high school. Opportuni¬ ties for those suited and desiring to further their careers are many and varied in our colleges, vocational schools, and business schools. Each of you must now seek guidance, ask questions, and seriously face the future. The interdependence of all nations and peoples upon each other is of gravest concern to the leaders of our country. You are now becoming an active member of this complex picture and are faced with the problem of self-preservation within this social structure. The class of 1966, to surviv’6 as individuals, must continue to learn through further schooling, books, appropriate television programs, and periodicals. The committee wishes to thank you and your parents for the very high level of interest and respect for our school system during the past four years. Sponsored by McCARRON TARLOW Edgartown MR.

The junior class has many sportsmen in its ranks, each playing his required part and enjoying it to the fullest extent.

Although we still have two years left, time seems to be passing all too quickly. Again, with the help of our class advisors, Mr. E. Paradis and Mr. Hyde, we went through another money-making year, having food sales and tag days. We are looking forward to another year of their help and assistance. This year we acquired some new students in our class, making our total enrollment quite large. Now we are looking forward to our Junior year, which holds more fun and hard¬ working days ahead of us.

CLASS OF 1969 As we entered Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School for the first time, every¬ thing was very strange and unfamiliar to us; but we soon adjusted to all the rules and regulations of the school and began our Freshman Year. Many of us have taken an active part in sports, clubs, and other school curricula and have enjoyed it very much. We learned different techniques of doing things, and we soon elected our class officers and held class meetings. Our class advisors, Mr. Gerald Paradis and Mr. Lawrence Broglio, have been much help in advising our class and pointing us in the right direction. We have held a food sale and a bottle drive so far, which have been very successful. As our Freshman Year comes to an end, we look forward to finishing our high school education in Martha’s Vineyard Regional High.

During the past year, the Mathemat ics Department has strived to provide students with better mathematical know¬ ledge. Its major aim is to up¬ date and improve the quality of mathematics in the high school in order to more fully prepare all students for post school activities. One of the De¬ partment’s major concerns is to keep abreast of. the constant changes taking place in mathe¬ matics. Courses varying from Shop Math to the Introduction to Analytic Geometry and Dif¬ ferential and Integral Calculus serve the needs of all students. SCIENCE The many branches of science play an important part in the progress of the world to¬ day., The courses offered in biology, chemistry, physics, space science, and general science, in addition to special seminars, provide the students with the knowledge needed in our ever-advancing world. The advanced courses offered in bio¬ logy and chemistry delve deep¬ ly into these two branches of science helping to prepare the students entering college. The weekly lab sessions and special assemblies supplement the science courses offered. The annual science fair provides the students with the opportunity to experiment on their own—thus contributing more to a fuller education. ROGER’S FREIGHT TRUCKING SERVICE BEN DAVID MOTORS G B CLOTHING STORE SUGAR ' N ' SPICE—Gay Head 40 Oak Bluffs BUSINESS EDUCATION In order to keep up with the current demands and re¬ quirements of business, the Business Education Department this year has chosen hew Book¬ keeping I and Typewriting I textbooks. In addition, a new IBM Selectric typewriter was added to the equipment in the Office Machines classroom. All business education stu¬ dents are given the opportunity in the latter part of their senior year to participate in on-the- job training in local business offices. Since one of the es¬ sential outcomes that should be expected from business educa¬ tion is the development of vo¬ cational competency, the on- the-job training program pro¬ vides students with experience as to their capabilities. ENGLISH Throughout the 1965-66 school year, the English de¬ partment . made many changes and improvements. A new sche¬ dule has been developed in which all English A classes meet during the same period. Several joint session were held. The developmental reading classes have been continued for the second year. Students are given the opportunity to reme¬ dy difficulties as well as to develop speed and comprehen¬ sion. The recognition of the need for extended writing for the college-bound students has resulted in the assignment of term papers for all college- course students in the school. Mr. Robert Hyde, member of the English Department, participated in the production of a pamphlet, Know Your High School, which covers many topics for both the stu¬ dent and the parents. ggnpra . LIBRARY Our library provides a pleas¬ ant atmosphere in which stu¬ dents may study or relax and read. On the shelves there are a total of 4,750 volumes, plus subscriptions to 33 magazines to aid the students in their research and outside reading. The library also has films, film¬ strips and tapes for use in the individual classrooms. This year the school received a sum of $15,000 which was donated by Mr. Fairleigh S. Dickinson, Jr. and Mrs. Grace Smith Dick¬ inson in memory of Henry Bradford Smith to be used for library purposes. 41 PHYSICAL EDUCATION This year the Physical Education Depart¬ ment has placed a great deal of emphasis on individual physical fitness for both boys and girls. Besides the regular exercise period preceding each class, the students participa¬ ted in a co-ordinated program including football, soccer, basketball, volleyball, ap¬ paratus, track and field, and softball. The girls are included in the entire program except for football and certain aspects of track and field. Throughout the year, intra¬ mural teams are formed for basketball and volleyball. The students who are unable to participate in interscholastic athletics find this an enjoyable subsititute. As well as pro¬ viding recreation, these teams instill in us a healthy, competitive spirit, good sports¬ manship and help us keep physically fit. SOCIAL STUDIES Instilling in the student a working knowledge of our government and its direct influence on the individual has become one of the main purposes of a course in social studies. The individual classes under the direction of the Social Studies Department are studying the position of the United States in the power structure of the world today. In the late spring, a new unit of study was incorporated into the World Geography curriculum. The study was entitled Urban Geography: Analysis of a City and dealt with the location and settle¬ ment pattern of urban places. BIOLOGY SEMINAR For its fourth year the Ma¬ rine Biology Seminar contin¬ ued under the direction of Dr. George Matthiessen. This year the seminar met on Thurs¬ day afternoons after school. Classroom lectures were given by Dr. Matthiessen and by guest lecturers from Wood’s Hole Oceanographic Institute. Field trips and special labs supplemented this exceptional course. 42 HOME ECONOMICS The Home Economics Department, under the direction of Mrs. Phillip Drew, has made two important chan¬ ges this year. A program was introduced in which senior girls participated in the work-experience program. This program was proven quite successful. Another innovation in the department was the introduction of a child study unit in which the girls learn to under¬ stand children and through them, better understand themselves. INDUSTRIAL ARTS Our Industrial Arts program con¬ sists of courses in technical drawing, woodworking, metal working, and auto mechanics. The Industrial Arts course aids the student in developing resource¬ fulness. The students are given exper¬ ience in the basic processes of many industries in order that it will better prepare them for future employment. DRIVER TRAINING Again this year the driver¬ training program was directed by Mr. Eldon Paradis and Mr. James Adams. The academic course, which consisted of as¬ signed reading from a special text, and viewing of pertinent films, was supervised by Mr. Paradis. Students put their ac¬ ademic knowledge into use on the road under the able in¬ struction of Mr. Adams. The course was again successful in helping students obtain their licenses and become responsible drivers. CURRENT EVENTS SEMINAR Under the instruction of Mrs. Leroy Erickson, the members of the Current Events Seminar have been studying the Great Decisions pamphlet.

In February, the Society inducted its Junior Class members and introduced the Sopho¬ more Class provisionary members. A $100 scholarship was awarded to 1965 graduate, Delia Duart, a member of the National Honor Society. A similar scholarship will be presented to a society member of the Class of 1966. In order for these scholarships to be awarded, the society has engaged in various money-making projects. As a service to the school, the National Honor Society took charge of the selling and collecting of tickets at the home games for the 1965-66 basketball seasons. The society sent two delegates to attend the Southeastern Massachusetts National Convention at Ply- mouth-Carver High School. STANDING: R. Hyde, L. Broglio, advisors; SEATED: S. Metell, Secretary; J.

The main purpose of the formation of the French Club is for French students to obtain knowledge concerning the culture and language of the French people to a greater degree than can be received in the classroom. The Club has undertaken a pro¬ ject in which all its members acquired a French pen pal, an extremely helpful aid in learning about the people of any country. This year the French Club is under the leader¬ ship of Mr. William Upper. SPEED READING CLUB The purpose of the Speed Read¬ ing Club is to improve reading, speed, comprehension and vocabu¬ lary. Working independently under the supervision of Mr. Joseph Robichau, the members utilize a variety of materials including Co¬ lumbia University Rapid-Reading Program portfolio as well as me¬ chanical devices called Craig Read¬ ers which have been most benefi¬ cial to the students in approaching their goals of better reading. 48 J.

It didn’t seem possible on that day in September, which now seems like yesterday, that we could ever find our way from room to room, much less become acquainted with the entire school and all who were in it. As freshmen are quite apt to be, we were perplexed, bewildered and mostly scared. Where in the world had all those big kids come from who called themselves seniors? But soon, however, the period of adjust¬ ment ended and the time for action was pre¬ sent. We established aims and goals for our class as well as ourselves and hoped to make the class of 1966 a power at M.V.R.H.S. On our side was the fact that we were the largest class ever to enter the school. Under the leadership of June Vincent and advisors, Mr. Samuel DeFeo and Mr. Richard Kherlopian, the Freshman Class started on what seemed to be the never- , ending task of money earning. As freshmen we felt quite proud of ourselves, for we had been very active with the sponsoring of two food sales and the selling of Halloween candy, which were all financially success¬ ful. Returning from summer vacation, we found ourselves with a new president and a new advisor. Judith Correllus was our president and Mr. Maurice Dore our new advisor; and, more important, we were no longer the bottom rung of the ladder, now being sophomores. For our sophomore year we held many expectations, and fortunately we were not disappointed. That year we held the usual food sales, sold pens, and held a dance entitled Beatlemania.” The dance took place in the gym and a band entertained. Many say it was the most suc- 54 OUR HISTORY • • cessful dance ever held at the high school. The month of May brought with it the pleasant duty of ordering our class rings —an event we had long awaited. Yet some¬ how it didn’t seem possible our high school years were half over and our Junior year was just around the corner. When we returned to school in Septem¬ ber, perhaps our greatest delight was the established fact that we were now upper¬ classmen. This year was to be a year of decision, action, and a year long remem¬ bered by all. In late September we re¬ ceived our class rings and wore them proudly as only a junior can. Lorna Costa was named Chairman of our Junior Prom. The plans started and lasted throughout nearly our entire Junior year. In March we presented Once Over Lightly,” a variety show that brought the Junior Class much recognition throughout the school. We held the show two nights, and the response of our capacity audiences indicated the show’s great success. Throughout the rehearsals and prepara¬ tions Mr. DeFeo and Mr. Dore gave gen¬ erously of t heir time and effort to make the show possible and to turn it into a truly rewarding experience. Suddenly May had arrived. Carousel,” our prom, will always be in the hearts of those who worked so hard in preparation, in order to present to the entire school such a beautiful spectacle. That night we saw Dennis daRosa and Lorna Costa crowned king and queen of the prom. Lorna’s court consisted of Renee Ortiz, Audria Tankard, Sally Frasier, Nancy Brooker, Constance Shew, and Judith Correllus. Dennis Jason was elected Graduation Marshal by the class of 1965. As Dennis led 55 1962 - 1966 the Seniors down the aisle to receive their diplomas, the waves of apprehension fell over us. Was it possible that when we re¬ turned in the fall we would be Seniors? Yes, it was indeed possible, for now we were seniors having all the usual tasks seniors face at this formidable time. We became involved in the ordering of pic¬ tures, personal cards, memory book, and, of course, caps and gowns. When College Board scores, results of achievements, col¬ lege acceptances and rejections came in, we realized that a person can obtain from a high school only as much education as he is willing to put into it. Throughout our- high school years mem¬ bers of our class were active in sports, clubs, and other extra-curricular activities, includ¬ ing Student Council and National Society. In October of our senior year we spon¬ sored the school’s annual Halloween Dance, which we enjoyed both preparing for and attending. Then, with the assistance of our advisors and Mr. Alfred Hall, we presented a motion picture, The Bedford Incident,” at the Capawock Theater in Vineyard Haven. The film was held both Friday and Satur¬ day nights and turned out to be quite a success. Now the year is closing and we are anx¬ iously anticipating Awards Day, Class Day, our Senior Banquet, and the big event, our graduation. Although our high school days are growing short, the memories of the ac¬ tivities and good times we have shared at the Regional will always remain in our hearts. As we leave high school to meet what¬ ever the world holds for us, the Class of 1966 bids farewell to our teachers, ad¬ visors, and to all those who made our grad¬ uation possible.

Their valuable advice and instruction have helped the class to attain better results in our projects. Our class officers have made our Senior year especially successful and productive. They have worked ambitiously on all our projects and have always provided us with reliable leadership. With their efforts our class has achieved all its goals, and we thank them for the leadership they have given us.
