Mains, principal of the Medfield High School. As a former teacher and now as principal you have shown continued in¬ terest and enthusiasm toward our various academic, athletic and social ac¬ tivities. Your understanding in permitting us freedom to use the facilities of the school has given us four years of both achievement and enjoyment. As the principal of the new Medfield High School we wish for you con¬ tinued success with, and enduring satisfaction from those who follow us. APPRECIATION As our final year at M.H.S. comes to an end and we review the hours spent there, we recall the many people who have helped us arrive at our destination. Their guidance, help, and ad¬ vice are stamped indelibly on our memory. They have volunteered their time and energy in or¬ der to make our high school days successful and enjoyable. Among these teachers and friends, Mrs. Stahl and Mr. Cuoco are prominent members. They have worked by our side through projects large and small. They have always been ready with a pleasing smile and a helping hand, to assist us with all our endeavors. Their endless efforts have not gone unnoticed. • To Mrs. Stahl and Mr. Cuoco we extend our appreciation and gratitude. We are grateful for their understanding, help and friendship. To them we extend our sincerest thanks. MRS. ESTELLE STAHL MR.

Now in those days the youths and maidens had finished the Grammar School and were well filled with knowledge. But it was said unto them, let them seek a new school, that they may become more learned, so the High School was sought. Now when the ninth month had come, which is called September, the youths and maidens entered their new school; and of the former there were a score and seven, and of the latter, twenty-one. Now five days in the seven went they to imbibe knowledge, and of advisors there were two, and those two were Mr. Morris ond Miss Smith. The youths and maidens sat daily before their instructors, and learned, as well as received, a good understonding of behavior. And it came to pass that they did hold council together, and Philip Rossi was chosen to be their leader, and Bill Catennacci to be their vice president, and Patty Prophet os secretary, and Nancy Seward as treasurer, and under their guidance a winter dance was held. In time it chanced that seven of their number did leave their land, and the names thereof were Alger, Hamilton, Seward, Deering, Fisher, Ashe, and Belmont. Now when the hot days had come the youths and maidens departed from the land of study into that of pleasure. But it came to pass that, when the ninth month had come again, they gathered in the house of learning, and they did receive among them a maiden who was called Marilyn. Under the rule of Miss Smith and Miss O ' Brien did they surrender themselves, and they did learn much of Latin and geometry, nor less of biology. And they assembled, and it came to pass that they chose Philip Rossi as their leader and Richard Oja as his assistant, and Ruth Ann Hardy as secretary, and Carole Duest as treasurer. They again held a dance, and purchased their class rings. They did end their year at a gathering at Ruth Ann ' s home, with the newest members of their class named Huber, Johnson, and Goodsell. Again in the ninth month the youths and maidens assembled in the house of learning, for the third y ear of their work, and behold, two new odvisors did present themselves before their eyes. Now one, Mrs. Stahl, was slim and petite, and she sporkled whenever she did speak of Shakespeare. The other was tall, his hair was black, and his dark eyes did shine with a pleasant smile for all, and he was called Mr. Cuoco. Two youths did join them, and these were called Byron and Lindblad. The youths and maidens did gather for a third time and chose again as their leader Philip Rossi and his assistant Richard Warburton, and secretary Ruth Ann Hardy, and treasurer, Carole Duest. And they did initiate the freshmen, and were a part of the Christmas D nce with their upperclassmen, for whom they did later hold a banquet. It chanced that three maidens were added to their number, the names thereof were the Misses Wright, Knopf, and Wright. In the fourth month they did work together and successfully hold their prom, after which they did join together at the Lord Fox . . . They marked the loss of three maidens of the names Huber, Prophet, and Gronroos, and of one youth called Edwards. Now the third year of their learning passed away, and they had increased in knowledge and under¬ standing, and in a space of time another youth joined them, and he was called Hedgebeth. They did end their year at the home of their leader, Philip. Now when the hot days of summer had passed, they gathered together for the lost year of their sojourn in the land of study, and they did ot all times conduct themselves as grave and reverent seniors. And it came to pass that they did hold council together again, and Philip was chosen to be their leader and Richard Oja his assistant, and Ruth Ann to be their secretary, and Carole Duest to be their treasurer. And in the early months of their school year they did hold a dance and a hayride, as well as a paper drive. And they did gather together and put on a hill-billy hop with entertainment in line with the theme, and the proceeds were given to the Retarded Children ' s Fund. When the twelfth month had come, which is called December, they did get together with those in their third year and did hold a Christmas Dance. They lost a youth and two maidens, the former called Byron, and the latter called DiMezza and Johnson, but they did welcome back a maiden named Gronroos, When the spring vacation had passed there was a great mixture of smiles ond tears in that land, for those in their third year did hold a banquet for them. Moreover, os it come to pass that the lost days drew near, the hearts of the youths and maidens were filled with sadness, for the time of their separation was ap¬ proaching, and they looked bock on the four happy school years which they hod spent so pleasantly in the house of learning. And now the fourteenth day of the sixth month hod come, and they did bid their schoolmates farewell, and likewise the house of learning in which they would never meet again to study. Verily, verily, I say unto you, that they shall go forth and prosper among men, and it shall be said of them that none before or after were like unto them. So endeth the History of the Class of 61 .

The next guest to dance with the bride is SCOOP LE BLANC, the highest paid paper boy in town. STAN DECOSTER is trying to cut in. Stan just finished his revision of the World History book. Watching from the other side of the room under a cloud of smoke, is EDDIE WIBERG. He ' s been quite busy since he replaced IBM. With him is JUDY FLANAGAN, presently an elementary school teacher. She can be seen most of the time with a Yummy Cuban math teacher. DICK OJA, now a wandering preacher, is approaching them. ILONA GRONROOS, owner of the local bakery, is assisting Elsie as she cuts the cake. First to receive a piece is DICK HEDGEBETH, promoter of yearbook sales for the surrounding schools. Next in line is CHRISTINE SEELEY, author of the lovelorn column in a popular teen magazine. BEA COOK is her co-worker. Bea is president of the Lonely Hearts Club. She is followed by JO KNOPF, importer of German compacts that even Judy Stubs can d.rive. She is talking to TOM FABIAN TAPLEY, who just made his first platinum record. He is the owner of the Acme Platinum Mines. A constant chatter can be heard as old acquaintances meet again. The most populor subject discussed is the coming election. KENNY GOODSELL, ex-fortune teller, is busy with his campaign for President. He is running against JOHN KENNEDY, otherwise known as the Senator. RONNY LINGBLAD is the main issue of both campaigns. It seems that Ronny is in Congress now, trying to purchase Maine. Another topic of great interest is the experiment being made by GEORGE KNEHR. George is sailing around the world in his canoe in order to disprove some ancient theory about the Polynesians. Now all eyes turn towards the bride as she opens a few remaining gifts. MARILYN BERG, owner of the world ' s largest charm school is by her side ready to assist. The first gift to be opened is from CAROL HOLT, owner of the towns hardware store. JUDY and JODY WRIGHT, owners of the largest experimental and commuter airlines in the country, have just landed their private plane in the parking lot. They have brought with them a present from LYNN SCHLECHTER director of the Wyatt Earp series. Lynn also skates in Swit¬ zerland during her spare time. Now as the final scene appears, the guests are standing outside the Colonial waiting for the bride and groom to appear. JOAN CUNNINGHAM, who runs the new bowling alley which replaced an old super market, is ready with a hand full of rice. SHERMAN HARVEY, Joan ' s automatic pin setter, is sharing his confetti with GORDON TOMPKINS, the tallest jockey at Hialeah. JUDY MACPHETRES, an F.B.I. agent, is cautiously watching the crowd. Her right hand man, NORMA QUINN is by her side. PAULA HURD, the ambassador to France, is tying some old shoes to the groom ' s car. Helping her is RUTH ANN HARDY, who runs an elevator-shoe factory. Well, here comes the bride! She and the groom are stepping into their car and are waving to everyone. Yes, this was certainly the social event of the year. Out of a class of fifty-one and after twenty-four years from school, Elsie is the first member to be married.

Given this 25th day of May 1961 at Medfield, Massachusetts by the Class of 1961 53 i Lynn Schlechter Lynn Schlechter has devoted herself to skating since she was nine years old. In 1957 she was awarded the Paragon Oil Trophy for having exhibited the greatest progress among on e hundred other members of the Great Neck Figure Skating Club. At the Philadelphia Arena in 1958, Lynn passed the third of nine tests given by the U. S. Figure Skating Association. Then, in 1960, she became a teaching professional at the Roosevelt Field Skating Rink in New York, where she also performed regularly. A fabulous career has now begun for Lynn, as she signed a contract with the famed Ice Follies in March. We are very proud to have had such an outstandingly talented girl as a member of our class. Our best wishes for Lynn ' s continued success go with her as she performs across the country! mmmees JUNIORS Class Advisors Mr. Richard Dargan Mr. James Morris Class Officers Pres.

They also held a very successful and novel dance at which the students were allowed to vote for their candidate for President.

The National Honor Society is an organization to which the majority of the student body strives to become members. The members are chosen not only for the scholarship they possess, but for the leadership, character and service they display as well. New members are selected twice each school year, in December following the first marking period, and in May following the third marking period. On a delegated night in May formal induction ceremonies are held in which all new members take the oath of the society and receive the National Honor Society pin. This year the National Honor Society has nine permanent members from the junior and senior classes and four probationary members from the sophomore class. 64 « i i i 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 a 4 4 a a 4 a a 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 STUDENT COUNCIL C.

At our first meeting, we divided our large group into three committees: literary, art, and business. The rest of the year we concentrated our efforts on meeting o ur numerous deadlines. We were very fortunate and had no finan¬ cial difficulties. We had a successful paper drive which was concluded at a barbecue din¬ ner party held at Lynn ' s home. This year ' s yearbook sales, led by the senior class, reached a new high. The townspeople responded fav¬ orably to our sponsor night, and the mer¬ chants also helped make this PEAK a suc¬ cessful one. 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 € 4 G S G G 4 G G G G G G G 9 G 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 With Cruiser-ing Capers.

The success of this sport at M.H.S. must be attributed to the talents of Coach Edward Keyes, for his boy ' s certainly showed their con¬ ditioning with precision-like performances. . y w -Y i i i i i i i i i i Coach Keyes, M.

They also cheered at the Boys J-V game when Medfield defeated Hopkinton. Their interest and ac¬ tive participation prepares them for a future position on the Varsity Squad. THE PEP CLUB Posters to get students to the games; winning shakers for the cheer¬ leaders, warrior-hoops to add excitement to any game: such are a few of the projects of the Pep Club which really promote school spirit at M.H.S. !� • t CROSS COUNTRY R. Hurd, R. Swanson, A. Dick, H. Kelley, K. Goodsell, Mr. J. Cuoco Mr. Cuoco coached the boys for our two and a half mile cross-country runs. Medfield ' s rhododendron swamp provided a scenic course for meets with Norton, Norfolk Aggie, Ran¬ dolph, and King Philip Regional High School. This is only the third year that cross-country has been available at M.H.S. More partici¬ pants are needed in order to keep this sport progressing. Mr. J.
