We tumbled into the gym bub- bling over with anticipation and nervousness. After Mr. Westall greeted us, some big guy got up and started laying down the rules. Little did we know that this tower of strength was our warden. After formal greetings, pep talks and assignment to homerooms and shops, it was a MADHOUSE! ! We were running all over the place, bewildered, confused, and lost. Seniors gave us wrong directions, lockers slammed, pencils rolled down corridors, notebooks dropped, teachers yelled, combs, ties, sense of direction, and sanity were lost. But it was fLu1! ! Things calmed down as we realized that this kind of life wasn't so great after all. The big guy still hung arotmd giving out orders and detentions. We thought that he was the coach--he yelled loud enough! ! Near the middle of the year we got around to electing our class officers. Under the direction of our newly appointed advisors Mrs. Hatton, Mr. Canedy and Mr. Brazeau, we elected Gary James for President, Herbert Cturnmings, Vice-President, Diane DiLorenzo, Secretary, Gary Martin, Treasurer. Diane held the office of secretary all through four years of high school. One very memorable event was Field Day. It was the first time all year that we were allowed any time for fun. We all had a good time shaving balloons on top of teachers' heads. It was fate and predestination for Mr. Szewczyk. june couldn't come fast enough. Our brains were overworked and needed a break. The last day was just as bad as the first with everybody completely disorganized. Once again you could hear kids running all over the school, lockers slamming, pencils rolling down the corridors, notebooks dropping, and above all else, teachers yelling! We entered school again, but this time a little more wary and hesitant, remembering our freshman year. Our funds had dwindled away to almost nothing, so we had to raise money. Our advisors were skeptical and doubtful at first, but finally agreed to let us throw a car wash at the Artery Arcade. Surprisingly enough, it was a success! ! It was amazing to discover that we had made a profit on the whole deal after paying for the soap and water we had used mostly on ourselves. For the first time in the school's history, girls were allowed to enroll in the Tool and Machine Design depart- ment. It was first established for all males and the instructor was totally unprepared for the shock of females to come. A few minor adjustments and Mr. Keyes thought he was ready, but he didn't fully realize the trying years to come. Our class election brought two faces back on the scene. They were Cary James for President and Diane Di- Lorenzo, Secretary. joe Catrambone was elected Vice-President and Don LeFebvre, Treasurer. In sports we were right on top. Our undefeated football team once again rose to glory. It was back to the old grind again, but this time a little sooner than expected or wanted. By now we were masters at the trade we had entered and settled down comfortably to the old way of life. We were greeted with a flurry of bomb scares. The students didn't mind them, but the faculty and fire de- partment didn't think there were so funny. We wonder why?? Five members of the junior class were chosen to the National Honor Society. There were Larry Bragdon, Bruce Carson, the late Alan Courtemanche, Frank Gaspardi, and Marcia LaFou.ntain, now Mrs. Marcia Kondel. Belonging to the elite, they were real proud wearing their Honor Society jackets, commonly called, brownie jackets. Elections welcomed a new class president, John Nault. Marcia Kondel was elected Vice-President. Diane was once again our Secretary, and Debbie Zullo, Treasurer. Class rings came in toward the end of the year. Everybody went around bragging that he had the best one of all. Most of the boys had to give up theirs to steady girl friends, but not without breaking them in for a few da s first. yY,ou could taste the excitement in the air as june approached. Half of the Junior class spent over a month decorating the gym for the forthcoming prom. We watched the seniors with interest, knowing that our time would be coming, too. As the big night came around, we enviously listened to the seniors talking excitedly about who was taking whom, the wild parties afterwards, and whom they wanted for queen. They were the luckiest kids in the whole school! ! After the prom, we tore down the decorations and helped set up the gym for graduation night. The school was quiet and restful after the seniors took their leave. The teachers all relaxed after the frenzied weeks of preparing the upperclassmen for their graduation. The summer slowly oozed by and it was back to the torture chamber again. We reluctantly returned, hoping and praying for the year to go by as fast as it possibly could. And it has! ! 2 Now we are the lofty seniors to whom the rest of the school looks up to. Backed by persuasive talkers, Mr. Cardillo gave in to them and let us have another Field Day. The last one we had was when we were freshmen. It was off to a slow start, but after a while everyone wanted to participate and the contests had to be held many times over. How can we forget the egg throwing contest with raw eggs? It was so much frm that we regretted having to end it all and go home. The most remarkable transformation was in Mr. Cardillo who lost at least 582 pounds during the summer. Now he drifts through our classes unnoticed during his weekly inspections of the cells. We held our elections for class officers at the end of the Junior year, but during the stunmer, Alan Courte- manche, our elected President was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident. We now had to reelect a President. Albert Griswold who was Vice-President moved up to take Alan's place. Frank Gaspardi took over as Vice-President. Diane DiLorenzo kept her seat as Secretary, and Steve Phelps kept his as Treasurer. This was a year of firsts . A new report system was introduced. Instead of one every two months, students received a report card at the end of the year with the final mark on it. Many students felt that this system was not as beneficial as the old one. I guess that most of us still need our parents signature on the reverse side of the report card or on our reverse side to give us motivation. Mrs. Less took over Mrs. Hatton's place as Senior class advisor when the latter retired. The Trouble Shooting contest was another victory for McCann High School's Automotive department. Under the direction of Mr. john T. White, we have won first place for two years in a row. This year's winning team was Phillip Shallies and Dave Marchegiani. Congratulations! ! just pass on your knowledge to next year's seniors and we've got it made again. Tension mounts as the time for our graduation comes. There are things to be done, places to go, banquets and parties to attend. Soon it will be our turn to go out and face the world and show it the training and solid background we have acquired from our patient and wise teachers. A I hope that next year's batch of seniors have as many fond memories of this school as this one has had. Good Luck ! !

Steel girders stood outlined against the sky, and piles of sand, brick, and other construction material were strewn about the ground, so that it seemed like only yesterday that this same sight had greeted me each morning as I arrived at school. Fifteen years, however, had passed, and now in the late spring of 1984, I, Carol Parrott, after having recently been named as America's Lady of the Year had been invited back to McCann to address a student assembly on Poise and Dignity. As I entered the school and passed the office of the Assistant Director, again things seemed like old times as I heard a loud and angry voice coming from this office. Glancing in, lo and behold, I saw john Nault, who had replaced Mr. Cardillo, bawling out a student for having his boutonniere in the wrong buttonhole. When John finished, he greeted me and escorted me to the gymnasium where the student body was assembled. As I sat and looked at the faces in front of me, I was carried back to my school days, and I began to wonder what had happened to all my fellow classmates of the Class of '69. As an old classmate, the Rev. Brian I-Iodgeman, McCann's answer to the religious crisis, gave the invocation, I began to think about some of those whom I had had news about. I remembered that some of the boys had entered government service, and that now Al Nowak was the UN mediator in the Vietnam war, and that Steve Phelps was balancing the budget as Secretary of the Treasury of the United States. I knew that Adrian Bissaillon had taken Congressman Conte's place as representa- tive from this district, and that his pictLu'e had recently been on the cover of TIME magazine as the new Speaker of the I-louse of Representatives. With my mind on magazine covers, I remembered having seen recently the monthly issue of the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC with Shirley Palmer as the model on its cover. I remembered, too, that Tim Randall had been featured in a recent issue of PLAYGIRL magazine as Rabbit of the Month. Bill Cozzaglio had also made his mark in the magazine world by posing for pictures for MAD magazine. I was shaken out of my reverie by the singing of the McCann Glee Club, and this made me think of Steve La- Belle who was now packing them in at the Metropolitan Opera I-louse, and of Frank Gaspardi who had recently hit the big time with his recording of a Zulu tribal chant. I had read that Ricky Brooks was now the recording technician for Simon G Garfunkel, and that Bill Bump was writing protest verses for this same group. Glancing over the assembly, I noticed among the faculty some familiar faces. John Nault had already told me that some of our classmates had returned to McCann as instructors. Dave Marchegiani and Phil Shallies as Auto instructors had forced the Chrysler Corporation to cancel the Plymouth Troubleshooting Contest as no school was now willing to compete against McCann. jay Crowley was now the related teacher in the Automotive Depart- ment. Noticing Gary Martin with the faculty, I realized that Mr. Keyes finally had an assistant in the Drafting Department. john Cook had also returned to McCann as the fulltime fixer of the controlled readers in the Reading Lab. Dick Viens, though not a member of the faculty, was connected with the school by his job as vice-president of GE in charge of the Co-op students. Following the Glec Club's selection, Mr. Westall introduced the Major of North Adams, jim Rotolo, who was to introduce me to the assembly. At the conclusion of my talk there was complete silence instead of the ap- plause that I expected, but as I sat down, Joh informed me that, following in Mr. Cardil1o's footsteps, he had outlawed applause as too noisy and disruptive. Relaxing over coffee in the tearoom after the assembly, john and I discussed old times and exchanged news about the class members. I-le told me that Skip Griswold was head football coach at Notre Dame and that Al Baker had joined him there as head trainer for the team. He told me that Don Roy had broken the color barrier and was playing for the I-Iarlem Globetrotters. I-le also invited me to stay around for a few days and he would take me to the Armory to see Rusty Mahar, world heavyweight boxing champion, fight Debbie Zullo Gaspardi, U. S. women's boxing champion. Knowing that this would be something to see, and wondering what the out- come would be, I readily accepted John's offer. John filled me in on those class members who had gone into business for themselves. Gary james' potato chips were now a national seller and two of his biggest local customers were Marty I-Iarrington's Samich Shop and Tony Girgenti who had introduced a new Potato Chip Pizza at his Pizza Palace. I remarked that at the assembl I had noticed all of the students wearing multi-colored sunglasses, and John told me that they were Cool Rays the new patented selectomactic sunglasses developed by Wayne Lafave to enable each wearer to select a color to match his mood. I-Ie told me that Leo Bourdon had a successful business going--building barrels for little ol' wine makers, and that Al Green was a successful salesman of luv beads. Pete Gancarz was also a busy salesman, selling the 24-hour sleeping pill recently invented by Dick Matte. Finishing our coffee, john and I left the tea room and as we were strolling down the corridor I came face to face with Donna Flaherty. Donna told me that she had just been appointed dietician at McCann, having closed down her restaurant after hearing it referred to as the Ulcer I-louse. We chatted and exchanged gossip about the other guys and gals in Food Service when we were in school. Ruthie Palmer, according to Donna, was still trying to find out whether blonds do have more fun. Nancy Livsey had built up a successful business selling her burnt cookies as dog biscuits. She also told me that Don Duncan had lately been fired from Dunkin Donuts for losing the donut hole. She said that since I was in the area I should not miss seeing Evalyn Frese's topless GO- Go act which was jamming them in at the Midway every night. In fact, it had been rumored, Donna said, that Bob jones had turned in his keys to all the Playboy Clubs in order to be at the Midway every night! Jan Poplaski, she told me, had been happily married for the past fifteen years, and was employed part-time by the school 30 YH to counsel girls on how to keep their marriages secret. Mary Tattersall also was working part-time at the school making those muffins that were such a hit with the teachers. Louise Dragon was another Food Service girl who had been married these many years and was now living in South Carolina to be near the tobacco she used to roll her own cigarettes. Donna told me that Tami Poplaski had not married as she was still carrying the torch for a certain McCann alumnus, but that she supported herself by selling sun lamps. I asked Donna whatever had be- come of Bob Upton, so she told me not to leave the school without first visiting the library to see the auto- graphed copy of Bob's newest collection of poetry, Up With Uptown. Besides writing poetry, Bob also found time to act as North Adams' first town crier. Hating to leave Donna and all the gossip, I reluctantly returned to the teachers room where John Nault was waiting for me. As I opened the door, loud laughter, sounding very familiar, greeted me. I realized that the TV set was on and that the laughter was coming from the set, and sure enough, john informed me that that familiar laugh was Dick Contois, who was now making laugh tapes for CBS. While john and I were reminiesing about old times, the TV provided another surprise when I saw Sharon Sturtevant doing the commercial for Betty Crocker's cake mixes. I asked John what joe Tatro and Earl Swartzer were doing now. I-Ie told me that Joe was still changing diapers, and that Earl spent his time sleeping while his wife worked. He mentioned that he had seen Mark Snyder the previous week and that Mark was still trying to pawn his Corvair. Diane Dil.orenzo was now Mrs. Snyder and took her house-wifely tasks very seriously! John was surprised that I hadn't heard that McCann was the first school in the country to join the space program. It seems that Chris Donaj went from designing bigger and better sewing machines to designing rockets. Dave Rowett was now rocketing to the moon in the ship he designed, hoping that Bruce Carson's welding would with- stand space travel. Bruce, it seems, had set himself up in the welding business with the money he had made as a pro football player. My attention was suddenly caught by the TV program that was on because I thought I saw another familiar face, and sure enough, it was Harold Lavanway appearing as the farmer in The Farmer's Daughter. Noticing my interest, John remarked that still another old classmate had likewise made good in TV--Mike Levesque was appearing weekly as Dracula on the Laugh-In show. Glancing out of the window, I noticed a cabin way up on the mountain slope to the west of the school. Re- marking that I could not remember that being there when I was in school, John told me the story behind it. Seems as though Wayne Howland had built this cabin and was living there as a hermit and had been ever since Bob Gageant had joined AA. Bob had seen the light after he had been picked up for driving under the influence by Charlie Briggs, the popular police chief in Adams. Strolling down the hall after john had returned to his office, I passed the Auto shop and stopped to talk with Dave and Phil. I asked them what had become of Don Lefebvre and they told me that Don had finally bought the Showboat after keeping it running for so many years. Right at the moment, they said, he was trying to get Bruce MacLean to leave his bartending job at the Three-Way to come to work for him. They told me that Gerry Bowen was still trying to beat Smokey the bear out of a job, and that joe Bolus had left a good job at the Adams Super Markets to sell his homemade lunches at all the school bus stops. Mike Kozlowski, they said, had just been elected Major of Readsboro. I asked them about Jim Rose and they told me that he was the thorn in the McCann School Committee's side because of his ten-hour long speeches to them. Returning to John's office we resumed our conversation. John told me that he had recently received a letter from Steve Zwiercan the brain surgeon responsible for the world's first brain transplant, and that Steve had mentioned that Pete Rowett, who has his dentist office near him, was still trying to persuade his patients with dentures to use his new Stickum Dentucreme . Steve had also mentioned in his letter that on a recent trip he had made to Sing-Sing to pick up a suitable brain, he had seen Dave Gancarz who was still disconnecting electric chairs at the prison. As we were talking jeff Thompson knocked and strolled into the office. jeff, who had replaced Clark Kent on the Daily Planet, filled me in on the rest of the class members. Anne Bishop, he said, was running a very successful beauty salon for pedigree dogs. Larry Bragdon was using his sex appeal to advertise a nationally known toothpaste, and Dennis Lincoln had volunteered his service for advertising a new freckle removing cream. jeff told us that Brian Young had invented and was selling a new milking machine to all the dairy farmers in the area. Marcia Kondel, he said, was still working at Sprague's but was now the advertising manager for the Sprague Log. He told us that Leon Politis was doing a thriving business with the kids selling moonshine from his still on Notch Road. We would have sat there and relived old times and talked about old friends all day if john hadn't mentioned that he had an appointment with the city's truant officer. Jeff graciously offered me a ride back to town and so we took our leave of McCann. As we were getting into his car the truant officer drove up, and Dave Cardimino walked into the school. As we pulled away from the school, I looked back with regret and wondered what the next fifteen years would bring. by Carol Parrott 31 FACULTY MR. JA MES R. WESTA LL Superintendent--Director ixlh .

Now, that beginning is at an end, but there must be a new beginning, for in today's fast-moving society there can be no such thing as an ending so far as education is concerned. No matter what you may do--go on to further schooling, go to work, enter the armed forces--you cannot af- ford to stop learning unless you feel you can be content in being the low man on the totem pole. If, during your years at McCann, you have learned how to learn, then you have taken a great forward stride toward success. lf you have learned to think critically, to analyze. and to base decisions upon facts, then, too, you are headed in the right direction. I hope we have helped you to do these things, My sincere hope for all of you is that Graduation, l969, is not the end. but is, truly, a beginning, James R . Westall Superintendent--Director 39 6 F.
