THE 1968 VINEYARDER VOL. IX MARTHA’S VINEYARD REGIONAL HIGH SCHO MARTHA’S VINEYARD, MASSACHUSETTS A yearbook is a starting line for memorieTof “what really happened” for no book could possibly cover every moment of four years of high school 4 ' ' the frenzied frolic of eleven concerts in two weeks or the pandemonium accompanying the final football game of the season, the trouncing of Nantucket midyears, finals, “Hey, nobody has to sign my computer report card!” that prom date CHARGE!!!! orange make-up out of your ear” and the squabbling of class meetings and the day you made thirty words a minute with only five mistakes and a twinge of nostalgia coupled with the realization that it’s almost over the occasional awareness that you’re getting what you came to get Kala Kristouyena tales out of school “Vineyard Isle, the green the Vineyarder can only remind that life at the Regional was romantic” ’ Iriany things, and you’re off and remembering. a challenge to the finish. the struggle of applications and College boards and homework and research papers that were finished the night before the deadline and hostility-and “Can I bor¬ row your gym socks?” and Spring! and the heat of “extracurricular activities” versus schoolwork and forever fi hsticks and people like Mr. Knight and “plays are fun and all .that but you just cannot get Janet Erickson, editor :K ’- ’J ' i-.

We, the class of 1968, would now like to give some consideration to another, most important, side. Martha’s Vineyard doesn’t seem to be a funny little island no one knows the location of any more. And the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School isn’t just a high school with a long name that no one has heard of before. Our teams aren’t Coach Hazel Skarp just the ones without inspiring names. This is, in a large part, due to our three coaches, Miss Skarp, Mr. Dore, and Mr. Pachico. Without their leadership and patience our teams would not be what they are—respected participants in all the competitive sports. Our school now has a reputation to live up to, thanks to them. For this reason, because of all their help, all their patience, and hours after school just being there, we dedicate the 1968 Vineyarder to Miss Hazel Skarp, Mr. Maurice Dore, and Mr. Franis Pachico. 4 ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT Harry H.

CLASS OF 1969 This year, as Juniors do every year, we look forward to making a success of our prom, on which the class is now busily working. One of our projects this year was a very profitable Mod Day, when everybody dressed up in flashing pinks, blues, greens, and oranges, as “mod” as they pleased. The class is now in the process of selling candy. Coleen Metell Class Historian Sponsored by William Stanley Brown, Insurance Agency, Inc.

From the knowledge and experience which we gained from our Freshman year, we, as Sophomores, entered the High School well prepared for an active and full-scheduled year. We have all now realized that we have a great deal of work to do in preparing for next year’s Junior Prom. In order to raise funds for our treasury, we have sold personal¬ ized stationery, held tag-days, and had a few successful foodsales.

Elliott (Field Hockey ’67) Two years ago MVRHS joined forces with five Cape schools to form the Cape and Vineyard League. Since that time, the sports department at the school has become one of which everyone is proud. During 1967, our teams, led by Mr. Dore, Mr. Pachico, and Miss Skarp, met tough competition and proved to be among THE BEST. Our basketball team was number one, our softball was number two, our track and field team was number one, and our cross-country team finished first as did our field hockey team. The coaches and young athletes together put in hours and hours of their time to produce such an outstanding year. As we recall our successes in the past, we must also look towards the future. Nantucket has joined the league now called the Cape and Islands League; MVRHS, as of spring 1968, has a baseball team, coached by Mr. John Crowell, who is also coaching the girls’ basketball team. With the expanding of the league, the addition of a baseball team, our four coaches, and the youth of Martha’s Vineyard, we can look ahead and predict that there will be many more years at MVRHS as successful as, if not more successful than, 1967-1968.

It is a representative body made up of three students, elected by their fellow students, from each class. The student dress code is the result of a joint effort of the faculty and student council. The council also sells coca-cola at ball games, P.J.’s and T-shirts. The money collected from these activities goes toward a scholarship for some worthy senior. This year the council sent representatives to regional and state seminars. The information and ideas gained from these seminars are discussed and put to good use. The student council is constantly busy keeping up with the students and their interests. FRONT ROW (1. to r.): Mr. Robichau, R. Surprenant, Treasurer; M. McCarthy, Vice-President; J.

The full chorus has presented numerous concerts of excellent quality. There have been two exchange concerts with Falmouth, and more are planned for the future. The majority of the chorus participated in the Cape Cod Music Festival, held last year in Falmouth, and this year in Dennis-Yarmouth. In addition to the full chorus, there has been a smaller, select chorus which does special concerts and has more difficult music. This was known last year as the “small chorus” and this year as the “Minnesin¬ gers.” Minnesingers (not to be confused with “mini-singers”) were travel¬ ing German musicians long ago. Our Minnesingers have presented countless concerts on the island at schools, churches, hospitals, and private homes. The highlight of the year was the April trip, a several-day concert tour which included a special concert at the University of Massa¬ chusetts.

Madeiras; Mr. R. Hyde, ADVISOR; R. Bettencourt; K. Hopp; V. Waters. “They have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts.” As this quote from Shakespeare states, the Drama Club’s members have had their exits and their entrances. The entrances were at the beginning of their meetings, and the exits at the close. Although they have not put on any stage productions this year, a further appreciation of Drama has been reached by reading and discussing plays with their advisor, Mr. Robert Hyde. DEBATING CLUB This year, for the first time, we have had a debating club under the leadership of Mr. George Lighttiser. This club is unique in that the meetings are held at night instead of after school. These meetings consist of intramural debates on many controversial subjects, including the legalization of marijuana and the admission of Red China to the U.N. We hope that this club will be continued in the future, with even greater success. FRONT ROW (1. to r.): S. Carroll, N. Mavro, P. Townsend, F. Fisher, C. Hopp, M. Kelly, N. Fisher, B. Stewart.

Mr. Adams runs the class and the instruction. The main purpose of Dr iver’s Training is to cut down on accidents by teaching stu¬ dents the correct way to drive.

The year, 1964, was not a monumental year for humanity, but to the class of 1968 it was a landmark. In 1964 we started our freshman year at the Regional. As it is said to be, the first few days of school were confusing, frighten¬ ing, and sheer pandemonium. “Could you tell me where the boys’ locker room is?” asked one willowy freshman. “Over there,” replied a kind senior, pointing in the direction of the girls’ locker room. All of us were eager to get started at the Regional—that is, to get started on the right foot. The courses were challenging, expecially English classes, where the freshmen glibly entertained Miss Rushmore by continuously hiding her little blue pad of detentions. However, events of importance took place that year. The freshman class, as well as the rest of the school, was sadened and shocked to hear of the deaths of two popular seniors, Bruce A.bbott and Barry Swartz. It was both a maturing and tragic incident. Activities were greatly limited during our first year. Our president that year was Roxanne Dolby (need I say more?) whose major accomplishment was an $85 food sale. You can’t say we didn’t try. And mention must be made of Mr. Robert Hyde and Mr. Eldon Paradis, who bravely stuck their necks out and became our class advisors. The summer breeze soon enveloped the island, and school was let out for the summer vacation. But then, sooner than we anticipated, school resumed in the fall. This time the leaves turned a sickly brown color. Ernest Garvin was elected class president, and proved to be quite a politician. (Proof of the pudding: he was in office for three years). Our bank account slowly grew, and the sophomore class gained new confidence in the amount of residuals on hand. Tag days were held to earn more money for our treasury—and people stared at the lucky-unlucky girl who was com¬ pletely buried under a pile of boys’ books. And then for many of the class elders came the zenith of success, the going out for their drivers’ licenses. “OK, now take a left at Circuit Avenue. That’s a right!Now come to a full stop, a FULL stop! Turn around on the hill without hitting the curb. WITHOUT hitting the curb.” Excedrin head¬ ache number 12 for Mr. Adams. “Bless my buttons,” exclaimed one perceptive sophomore. “We’ll be juniors next year!” Yes, the junior year was fast approaching, and with the coming of the event came problems, problems, problems,.“OK, now we’ve got to vote on a theme for the prom.” “Any suggestions?” “How about Sea Gull in Paradise?!” “C’mon, we need a half-way decent theme, like . . . Moonlight and Roses ... !” And so the theme stuck; “Moonlight and Roses” became the theme for our prom; the chairman, Nancy Fischer was put to work; and what a prom it was. To transfer the gym from its present antiseptic state into an enchanting Shangri-la seemed almost impossible, even after the initial feat of imagina¬ tion (it was designed mostly by Fella). Entering the gym on any one decorat- 52 ing night involved stepping over piles of crepe paper, tape, wooden planks, two huge ladders, many enthusiastic juniors: “Will you get your big feet off the crepe paper and help me string this frame to the ceiling?” Miles and miles of blue and silver crepe strips were lovingly stretched, curled, and strung from any available nook and cranny. The study halls became artificial florists’ shops, where girls (and some guys) sat sedately (or not so sedately) turning out paper roses. The rhythmic sound of scissors clipping wire and paper pierced the silence of the study halls. And last minute worries—“What are we going to have to eat?” “Food, of course.” Food ordered, crown purchased, tables set up, gym completed, band imported . . . PHEW! We’re finished! The night had finally come, rain poured in torrents from the heavens as gowned and tuxedoed girls and boys piled into the transformed gym. Music blared from the band and couples began to dance. Soon the announcement came—“All junior girls and their escorts form a circle and march around the gym, please,” which heralded the selection of the Prom Queen and her Court. Shaky hands, watery knees and nervous laughter ensued as the girls smiled cutely and the guys remained ultimately dignified while passing by the scrutiny of the judges. Oh, cursed be the high heels that make you trip on the crack in the floor! “ta-ta-ta!” announced a trumpet. “The judges have reached their dec sions ...” Stomachs growled and fingers twitched nervously as Sara Honey and Rick Harrington presented roses to the court: Maria Trebby and Richard Colter, Judith Drake and Richard Bernard, Deborah Kurth and Alexander Searle, Carol Andrade and John Mayhew III, Rebecca Betten¬ court and Jack Allen, and Rebecca Randolph and Dwaine Smalley. Then, of course, came the question “Who’s going to be the queen?” Sarah and Rick slowly walked around the hushed circle of waiting hopefuls, hesitated, stopped, laughed, and presented Nancy Fischer with a bouquet of roses, and the crown, for she was Queen. And for much of the night, Nancy and her escort Rick Convery swung dazedly from a rose-cov¬ ered swing surveying the crowd. Flashbulbs popped, happy tears flowed as all crowded in to congratulate them. But to go back somewhat earlier, we also received our class rings ordered late in our sophomore year—in our junior year. Getting a hold of the right ring proved quite difficult for some: “I bet my finger shrunk since last year!” “7-1 2, that’s miles too big for my finger!” Needless to say, all rings eventually fit shrunken and 7-1 2-sized fin¬ gers! Perhaps the greatest thing to happen that year was the formation of the “Thistle and Thunder” a drama group. This brainchild of Mr. Lawrence Broglio selected three one-act plays— Pyramus and Thisbe, Deus Ex Ma- china, Song of Ennui —and set about learning of acting, props, costumes, sound, breathing, lighting, and odd and assorted other things. Rehearsals 53 Well, our last year at the Regional. It seems impossible, as so many people have said. It seems as if we were here for only a few months—it seems as if we’ve been here for an eternity—we were told it would be this way. Decisions, decisions, decisions. Where to? What to do? It would be nice to say that we all were going to go to Katama U, and live hap¬ pily ever after, but well . . . There were also the squabbles over class flowers, class colors, class motto, the junior that was going to have the privilege of leading us down the aisle at graduation (as Charles Leighton did for last year’s seniors), the purchasing of all the senior necessities (thank you notes, name cards, memory books, etc.) and the you-give-me-your-picture I’ll give-you-mine (“of course with writing on the back!”) And let’s not forget the yearbook . . . Work, work, work continually on the publication. Janet Erickson assumed control of the editorship, a very unenvied position. And so it came to pass that the 1968 Vine¬ yarder was finally completed, distributed, read . . . in the old Catholic Church, bottles of ketchup, exploding machines, and strong acting in Song especially will stick in our memories forever. “Performance is tonight. Oh, mercy!” Screeching, screaming, application of make-up, cramming of lines, and last-minute preparations took place simul¬ taneously. The curtain rose and everything . . . went perfectly. The class of 1968 is indebted to Mr. Broglio for his kindness, concern and above all his patience in nurturing “Thistle and Thunder.” It’s happened, it’s finally happened—senior year, graduation . . . college? (lump in throat) . . . mili¬ tary? . . . work? . . .? We’ve come ot the end of our “adolescent years.” Decisions have been made, schools selected, ties broken. And as we look back to our years at the Regional, let’s not forget: The “bubble people,” the Senior Variety Show, basketball games, trips to Nantucket, food in the cafeteria, detention halls, dragonflies, college boards, throw-away report cards, dirty gym suits, dissected frogs . . . and 87 red-faced Seniors.

What the ones who were didn’t know was that there was a use—for all our ham¬ miness—a very good use, but hidden until a funny little Italian came along and showed us all the light. What he proposed sounded so ex¬ citing and so wonderful that no one had much time to doubt their abilities. Three plays were picked. Deus Ex Machina by Robert T. Hyde, Pyramus and Thisbe by one Mr. Shakespeare, and Song of Ennui by Lawrence Broglio. Then rehearsals began and makeup confusion and, finally, the performances. For those in Song there was the added glory and excitement of the drama festivals. And suddenly it was all over. In the emptiness we had time to go back and think over what we had done. We had all, despite liquid knees and chattering teeth, managed to put on a great show for everyone who came. And a great deal of it was due to our stage managers, Pat Wells, and Nancy Doyle, and, of course, to our director-play¬ wright-teacher-friend, Mr. Broglio.

From our numerous experiences we have, hopefully, grown wiser and more mature. We would like to express our appreciation to our advisors, Mr. Robert Hyde, Mr. John Morelli (for our Junior and Senior years), and Mr. Eldon Paradis (for our Freshman and Sophomore years). Our class’s great success would not have been possible without the leadership of our class officers. Their never-ending drive for improvement saw our class through many problems. We are happy to say “Watch out world! The spirit of success will soon be ejected into your blood stream.” Advisors: Mr. John Morelli Mr. Robert Hyde Officers K. Caffrey—Secretary M.
