Masuk High School - Exodus Yearbook (Monroe, CT)

Text from Pages 1 - 152 of the 1969 volume:

For we who go for you who stay — two autumns ” — Buson A Note On Format The editorial introduction states our theme; new direction—a very grave and important topic in a year of turmoil. We believe this theme to be of vital interest to the graduating class, to the underclassmen, and to our elders who thoughtfully consider their own direction. The old order changeth, yielding place to new. —Tennyson Mindful of Tennyson’s words, the Class of ’69 earnestly and yes, proudly, presents to the students, faculty, parents, and the world, a yearbook more meaningful than ever before. On each page a memorable and clear record of the academic year unfolds. The engaging spirit of Masuk is present in each smile, frown and thoughtful expression. And, with these traditional elements of every yearbook, there is added a new attempt to convey a message to Masuk students. A change in theme, cover, page organization and the addition of a subtitle help, we think, to make this message clear. The change of title came after careful deliberation. It was made in the belief that the meaning of “Exodus” is not sufficiently large. True, the senior class is making its departure, its exodus; but it is also choos- ing a new path. It is this choice that is relevant. The traditional title, Exodus, remains, but “Direction ’69” is the clarifying and evocative title chosen by the Class of ’69. The cover colors, blue and gold, are the colors of the senior class. Perhaps each class will continue to choose its own colors as an expres- sion of individuality and to show a pride in fellow classmates that will make for lasting bonds of friendship with Masuk as a whole. 2 3 Grateful Recognition It is customary at Masuk to dedicate the yearbook to those persons who have guided the seniors in their formative years, and who best exemplify the spirit of the theme. Our dedication, therefore, is two-fold. The senior class has been fortunate in having been associated with two people who have reached every senior with their courage and thoughtful flexibility—their willingness to allow new directions to be opened for the Class of ’69. A moment’s reflection brings to mind the changes initiated by the Class of ’69 when they entered Masuk as fresh- men. They presented the first written class constitution and from that moment change, and the courage to try new paths, has been their motto. The Class of ’69 have been well served by the patience, cheerfulness, firmness, love and courage of their advisors. Material things as well: personal funds for the occasional emergency, time, and labor were given without stint. Is it any wonder then that the senior class dedicates with gratitude and love this yearbook to Miss Patricia Opiela and Mr. Dominick Feliconio? 4 5 They Freed A Lot of People John F. Kennedy “Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans . . . and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.” Martin Luther King “I have a dream ... It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream ... I have a dream that one day in the red hills of Georgia, sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of broth- erhood.” Robert F. Kennedy “Some men see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not.” 6 To The Light-bearers In A Time Of Darkness Life, struck sharp on death, makes awful lightning. —Elizabeth Barrett Browning Violence has struck with the suddeness of lightning so many times recently that doubt has arisen concerning the character of Americans in particular and mankind in general. It is urgently necessary that all men look again into their own hearts and minds to discover a light that will bring them into true peace with God and them fellow men. Our high school years have seen a world filled with violence. The lightning of violence struck a president with whom youth identified. Lightning struck eight student nurses in Chicago, and many other innocent people. The bolt of assassination struck down a rational, thoughtful civil rights leader, and moved the country to inexpressible sorrow. These wounds had not even begun to heal when the president’s brother was struck by the flash of an assassin’s gun. All of these victims were light-bearers to their country and mankind; with their deaths the world grew darker. American hearts bleed profusely for those, too, who die each day in a foreign and cruel war, defending rights held sacred by mankind. This struggle in the darkness may create in time a brighter world. These men, then—the bearers of light in a darkened world- are the men whom we will emulate. Like them we will strive to make the light of justice and love shine out for all our brothers in the world. The darkness can be overcome; This is our convic- tion as we graduate and join the noble company of men called “light-bearers.” In memory of these men we dedicate this yearbook, and our lives, to a new direction. 7 No bubble is so irridescent or floats longer than that blown by the successful teacher. —Sir William Osier To meet one great teacher in a lifetime is a gift. The Class of ’69 has been “gifted” beyond any reasonable expectation. Not one, but several teachers, have been making learning an adven- ture. Mr. Brotherton, Mr. Costanzo, Mr. Lacho- wicz, and Mrs. Lipeles have given unstintedly to the Class of ’69 their intelligence, time, and en- ergy. We shall always be grateful to them. 8 A teacher who can arouse a feeling for one single good action, for one single good poem, accomplishes more than he who fills our memory with rows on rows of natural objects, classified with name and form. —Johann Wolfgang van Goethe 9 Being a student at Masuk the past four years has certainly been an enjoyable experience. At Masuk, I learned to get along with other people. I learned that the more you extend yourself, the more people you meet and respect, the happier you become during your high school years. Friendships are an essential ingredient in rounding out a personality. I'm glad I met the great people I did at Masuk. I will remember all of them, for they played an important part in my high school career. I also had the pleasure of knowing well many of the teachers at Masuk, and I’m sure I'll remember them, for they helped make my learning a pleasure. The Class of ’69 gave Masuk something valuable: increased student participation. We had a lot of new ideas, new ambitions, and a great revival of school spirit. I hope that the following classes at Masuk will build on our foundation: Improve things that will need improvement, set new designs, and make Masuk a school that will be known everywhere as a distinguished school. I hope that the future students of Masuk will build a new Masuk, a bigger and better Masuk. I know they can. Now that all is said and done, we have to leave the halls of Masuk. The years were memorable ones. And since we will be gone shortly, it’s time for the underclassmen. Your opportunity is here. If you want Masuk to be great, start working now. To each of my fellow classmates, I extend best wishes and good luck for your future years. May you reach the goals that challenge you. Jeffrey B. Doran President of the Class of 69 10 WELL “Farewell” is very difficult for us to say. We’ve had so many challenging and happy experiences in the years as your advisors. And remembering those experiences now brings a feeling of sadness: the days have come to a close too quickly. What can we say to make you understand how interesting and creative those days have been for us? One thing gives us great satisfaction now: we truly did our best for everyone. Those efforts made for our own fulfillment as persons. We are certain, too, that you have grown mature enough to accept whatever shortcomings we have manifested during the years. We will miss you and cherish all that we have shared. May you grow in wisdom and courage to make honest and sincere decisions in your future careers. Miss P. C. Opiela Mr. D. Feliconio 12 13 14 The great thing in the world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving. —Oliver Wendell Holmes 16 ADMINISTRATION MASUK HIGH SCHOOL optic Of tm« raiNCiTAk «014 MONROE TURNPIKE.

They taught us to respect our con- sciences, and to make our own decisions and thus create a genuine inner self. May they continue helping others at Masuk; may those they help in the future appreciate them as we do. 18 19 My congratulations to each of you, the Class of 1969. The education you have just completed will serve you in many ways; to some it will afford a better opportunity for satisfying and re- warding employment; to others it will open the door to higher education. In what you choose to do may you find the satisfac- tion of life in work well done, in service to others, and in con- tinued growth in knowledge and understanding of human affairs. My hopes and blessings go with you. E.

Senior Class Prophecy 1989 was a good year because I, Mary Williams, Head Nurse of Pediatrics at Bridgeport Hospital, was chosen to make a country-wide tour encouraging support of the medical profession. I picked up my tickets in the hospital’s main office from secretary Martha Mirabelli. Three of the secretaries working in the office with Martha were Cathy Hill, Virginia Steller, and Debbie Faurot. Decid- ing to get travellers’ checks for my spending money, I stopped at the CNB where my teller was Nancy Emanuelson. I noticed Donna Mooney was a secretary at the bank, and Nancy mentioned that Barry Mix was on the Board of Directors. I went to the limousine terminal and found Wayne Duda as a mechanic there. I had a fine time remniiscing on the trip with politi- cian, Jeff Doran, Editor of the New York Times, Rich Tschauder, and head of the Palmer Writing School, Ann Oakes. Jeff told me he had discovered that the engineer of the train he had ridden on the dav before was none other than Bob Basile, and the porter had been Bill Fellone. When we arrived at Kennedy International Airport I saw a large crowd surrounding the embarking passengers of another plane. Among the crowd were photographers Linda Sawyer and Chris Helland, and columnist Laurie Loveland who was interviewing lawyer and presi- dential candidate, Denny Willson. I had an hour before my plane was to take off, so I walked around the airport. At the international counter I met interpreter Lynda Gor- ham who was busy conversing in rapid Spanish with John Gonzalez, also an interpreter. John greeted me and said he had just received a letter from Jim Silapachai who was teaching in Bangkok. Lynda recommended a large restaurant nearby for a snack, saying Mike Byrd was the chef and my waitresses would be Lucille Caserta and Yvette Dresser. I hurried to the spot and took in a fashion show fol- lowing my snack, featuring clothes designed by Kathy Schweitzer and modeled by Joan Pond. As I resumed my walk about the huge airport, I met Kathi Tristan hurrying for a plane to Chad, where she is a missionary. She had just departed from a small auditorium where she enjoyed the entertain- ment of Jim Rancourt’s band, which included organist Ron Bacchioc- chi, clarinetest Victor Magazian, and soloist Bob Hudson. The time finally came for me to board my plane, and I was pleas- antly greeted by stewardesses Diane Duefrene and Diane Gusch. As we lifted into the air, the pilot who greeted us over the intercom was Jim Youhas. The movie came on and I watched it, fascinated to see Jan Jacobus as one of the dancers, and noted Micki Boncoddo was listed in the credits as choreographer. Traveling on the plane with me were L.A. Rams players, Jim Husvar, John Biellik, and Greg Beardsley, as well as Olympic track star, John Ballok, all of whom were enroute to vacation spots, as they were in their off seasons. My first stop was Chicago, where I received a rented car from the owner of Hertz, Bruce Underhill. When I arrived at the first hospital where I would speak, floor supervisor Lynne McKirdy and receptionist Debbie Harper were waiting to welcome me. As they toured the hos- pital with me, they remarked that Melinda Maxwell was working on a revolutionary growth drug, and Steve Hornak was in charge of the custodial services for the whole building. After I made my speech, I decided to take in a baseball game. I drove through the Chicago traffic to Wrigley Field, where Mike Braun- stein was placing some pretty high wagers on the outcome of the game. Starting pitcher for the Cubs was Ron Topping, which explained why I happened to sit in front of Sue Thompson. Shading his eyes from the sun was the left fielder Don Hurd, whose manager just happened to be Doug Emmons. As we rose for the National Anthem, sung by Rhonda Lambert, I saw Ron talking to the umpire who appeared to be Jim Atkinson. Statistician for the Cubs, Kevin Dake, came to tell Sue of Ron’s latest percentages, and, as we talked, he mentioned the fact that Ken Brickman was announcing the game on radio. When I got back to my hotel I caught the end of the sports news on TV, which included an item announcing that Ken Lombardo would be driving in this year’s Indy 500. Hotel manager John Basista later told me that Bill Gale is his co-driver and his mechanics are Bill Gabi- anelli and Larry Urban. The next program was the institutional “Ro- wan and Martins’ Laugh-In” featuring new-found (except to the Class of ’69) comedian Frank Andrziewski, and stunt man on a tricycle, Paid Mengold. I was surprised to see cool Jack Steskla flash onto the screen with a Pontiac commercial, which showed top Pontiac salesman Dennis Cooper in the background. Lee Smith, chef at the snack bar in my hotel, filled me in on the activities of some of his customers. Mike Agachinski is a stock broker, Brent Reardon drives the fastest taxi in town, and Lynn Baxter teaches in an elementary school. I boarded a plane early the next morning for San Francisco, wishing I could have stayed in Chicago longer to visit with my old classmates. On the plane, I read an issue of Life which featured an article on a famous drum and bugle corps that included Sheila Harrington and Sharon Cook as well as All-American cheerleader, Barb Stenger. As I landed at San Francisco Airport, I saw Commander Jack Kirwan with crew members Steve Wilson and Kenn Erickson. Their ship had just docked, so they were booking flights home. All three were headed at the moment for the Playboy Club which was under the management of Rick DeBrizzi. Steve mentioned that several other ’69ers were sailors, including Stan Elovecky, Ed Hagerty, and Joe Rt ba. There were several conventions in town, so I met many old acquaint- ances at my hotel. Librarians Lili Reading and Janet Machalowski were talking in the lobby with literary critic Rich Jidian. Executive secretary Sue Orr was handling all arrangements for the convention people, and had just given out room keys to teacher Jackie Olsovsky, philosophy professor Doug Willson, math teacher Bill Dexter, history teacher Jim Goulet, algebra specialist Robbie Kugler, and scientist Ray Fusci. Ray pointed out an art exhibit near the elevator containing work by Ken Johannesen and Gordon Smith. After checking into my room, I went out to the store for magazines and food and found Diane Danscuk behind the cash register. Walking down an aisle I stumbled over stock which was being shelved by owner Manfred Funke. I met housewives Lina Canfield and Kathy Guernsey, (I neglected to ask them their married names), and we had quite a discussion about many of our Monroe friends. The San Francisco hospital where I was to speak looked cold and uninviting until I heard nurse Bonnie Higgins’ familiar laughter and secretary Debbie Wright exclaimed, “Well, look who’s here!” Bonnie was bubbling about the addition to their hospital, which was designed by architect Paid Kanter and would be decorated by interior decorator Linda Canfield. Doctor Chris Huck led me to the room where I was to give my speech to X-ray technicians, and I saw the familiar faces of Becky Billing, Meg Eddinger, and Betty Solek. Deciding to try another baseball game, I headed for Candlestick Park. Unfortunately, I never made the game as my aged MGBGT broke down and had to be towed to Tom Manente s service station by Risto Rinne. Tom’s cousin, Lenora Manente, was doing secretarial work in the office, so I sat and talked with her for a while, as I waited for mechanics Rich Kellogg and Charles Guy to fix my car. Lenora told me that Donna Esposito had become a nurse for self-preservation, and worked part-time at a home for the aged in Burbank that was operated by Donna and Lucille Gennamore. Lenora also mentioned that Dan Toke, Mary Witt, and Bonnie Spielman had all joined the Peace Corps. Dan had written from Sweden that he came upon Ingrid Svensson, U.S. Ambassador to Sweden, and remarked that she was becoming well known for her ability to stir the staid Swedish government beyond a point of neutrality. Tom came into the office to tell me my car was fixed, although he advised me to see car salesman, Lenny Krofssik, around the corner for a new car. Thanking him for his help, I found it was time to get my luggage and meet the plane that would take me to Phoenix, Arizona. Pat Canfield was my stewardess on this flight, and she told me about a few more of the ’69 seniors she knew. Linda Spiett was a fashion consultant in San Diego, Diane Dias had a very unique job with IBM in Philadelphia, and Vera Radovic was the receptionist at the Smith- sonian in Washington, D.C. I asked Patty how she know about all these people and she said she or fellow stewardess, Betsey Thomas, bumped into them in their travels. Landing in Austin, I hailed a cab which proclaimed its owner. Bob Fekete, written on the side of the door. I checked in at my hotel, and decided to view the movie, “2015 A.D.,” which was playing nearby. At the door was Pat Sninsky, who operated the theater for owner Ray Seeley. The day’s coincidences came to an exciting climax as I sat next to Governor Tracy Lewis, who didn’t recognize me until intermission. Tracy told me his cousins, Karen and David Lewis,, were living in Tallahassee, Florida where Karen works for Good Housekeeping mag- azine, and David operates a large trucking firm., I spoke the next day at the Red Cross headquarters of Phoenix, and was delighted to see volunteers, Gail Kerrigan and Carol Horvath. They were busy reading a newspaper, and when they showed me the headlines, I noted with satisfaction that astronauts Gary Gabor and Larry Barber had landed safely on Mars. As we read through the article, we were surprised to learn that Ed Michelein and Bill Nielsen had designed the spacecraft the two men rode in. My speech over, I left the hospital and travelled to view the Grand Coulee Dam, where I was greeted by U.S. Forest Serviceman, Tim McElligott. Driving a truck with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that worked in the area was Kevin Griffin. Miracles do happen, as I chanced to meet executive secretary, Deidre McGowan, who was va- cationing from her home in Dallas, Texas. Deidre told me that Trudy Fitz, Cindy Boyce, and Cheryl Andrziewski are working in a plant that makes educational filmstrips in Dallas. Deidre and I decided to have dinner at a restaurant which Tim had recommended. Deidre was able to tell me that Linda Gustafson was working in a driving academy in downtown Dallas, Linda Bottomley was a testing specialist for Beechnut Gum Co., and Diane Withnell owns a bakery there. My schedule took me to Atlantic City, New Jersey, where I was able to view the Miss America Pageant. One of the judges was fashion designer Kathy Taylor, and I later learned that Paulette Stawiarz had designed the beautiful stage settings. I recognized as stewardesses, Veronica Fiore, Shirley Kearney, and Helen Squires who spoke to me on my return trip to New York, and pilot Ed Stuart welcomed all passengers. During my trip I had met every member of the Class of ’69, with the exception of two. Helen Squires assured me that Mr. Dom Feliconio, a principal in a large high school in New York and Miss Pat Opiela, an English teacher near Virginia Beach, are both looking forward to attending our 25th year reunion in the year 1994, and hope we will all be there!
