And eight more girls, our majorettes, we did reward, (capt. Harriet Kiriajes, Barbara Perkins, Joyce Desrocher, Nancy Russell, Linda Aubert, Cheryl Wilson, Mary Ellen Harris, Jan Shafer and Kim Lodge) Our girls anxiously awaited the coming year During which they would devotedly twirl and cheer. As our junior year came to a close, Two of our classmates the D.A.R. chose To receive medals. As the story goes, Both Suzy Schruender and Tom LeClair Were the worthy chosen pair. The Honor Society induction was a May event To the front of the auditorium these students were sent (Barbara Addison, Linda Barret, Bev Brown, Tina Dobrynski, Mike Federico, Joe Grossman, Dorothy Hillner, Bill Kaupinis, Bill Laffin, Barbara Lawton, Tom Le Clair, Kim Lodge, Mary Lee Moyniham, Jan Pankauski, Marcia Perrault, Jan Shafer, Joanne Sierpina, Kathy Smith, Keith Stetson, Cindy Suzadelys, Beth Tobia, and Marion Winward) In recognition of their scholastic accomplishment. Soon it was time their officers to elect. And these were the ones they did select. (Pres. Mike Federico, V.P. Bill Laffin, Sec. C. Suzadelys, Treas. Tom Le Clair, Hist. Mary Lee Moyniham) We were through with history and Manter Hall And Hamlet ' s To be or not to be, In our senior year we ' d have a ball For never until then had we Such status and priority over all. Again it was time for class elections. In our candidates we desired perfection. These officers (Pres. Pete May, V.P. Eileen Cunningham, Sec. Sara Hanson, Treas. Harriet Kiriajes, S.C. T. LeClair, B. Tobia, S. Schruender, K. Brown, N. Langevin, A. Gross) were our selection. They would represent us for one short year. Little did we realize graduation was so near. To the Yearbook Staff Mr. Lister appointed fifteen, And Editor Ellen Kenney led this team (Beth Tobia, Cynthia Suzedelys, Bill Laffin, Mike Federico, Janice Shafer, Kim Lodge, Tom LeClair, Kathy Smith, Joanne Sierpina, Barbara Addison, Marcia Perrault, Ron Kobrenski, Mary Lee Moynahan, Barbara Lawton) They worked tirelessly from afternoon till dusk, And never did they complain or fuss. Their bo ok of books they held in great esteem. Kim Lodge was the editor of the Blue and White. She worked with a crew who would diligently write To meet the deadlines was the writer ' s plight. Bill Kaupinis, Jan Shafer, Barbara Addison, and Bill Laffin each headed a page, And built the paper stage by stage. Our football team was captained by three, Fred Nassar, Bob Feugill, and Al Daigle led the motley crew We heartily cheered our Rangers true. Much courage and vigor they did display As they practiced and played on Saturdays. In an open convertible three girls did ride. Over the Homecoming game, Football Queen Elaine Heffernon would preside Her attendants Ann Gross and Sara Hanson sat by her side. The girls were as happy as they could be, And we all agreed they were a lovely three. The members of the cross country team ran, And leading them were Dan O ' Rourke and Tom Trussell, their captains At this time girls ' sports also began. The field hockey team was second in the league Under Janice Fugge and JoAnne Martone ' s ready and able lead. In October at the Cadet Hop, These officers came out on top, Col. Ron Kobrenski, Lt. Col. Richie Waithe, Maj. Pete May, and Maj. Bill Kaupinis were the cream of the crop. Next they announced who the Cadet Queen would be Queen Eileen Cunningham, Beth Tobia, and Carolyn Smith were the three. December eighth was opening night, And for Mrs. Hovanasian, Marian Winward, and Leo Croteau, the play- turned out right. In Boys and Ghouls Together, Leading the cast, Were Count Dean Allen and Letha Jane Worster looking aghast. And our play out did those of the past. Basketball, Baseball, and Track were three fine teams The captains of each were held in esteem. The basketball team, Dan O ' Rourke did lead, It was Joe Buglione the baseball team did heed, And of Phil Sparta, our track captain, much we would read. To Student Government Day, Students did swarm From every Middlesex village and town, To run the legislature for a single day. His ability to lead Bill Laffin did display, As he ran the state in the American way. Our girls ' basketball and softball teams received much praise, For after practicing for many days, The League Championship they both did claim. Paula Pagliuso and Carol MIechko received much fame, For the way Miss Bailey coached the games. The Best of ' 67 was easy to choose. With our King and Queen, how could we lose? Mai Clarke and Pete May reigned with a regal touch Over a class which to us has meant so much. As our senior year was coming to an end, Our Prom, Camelot, we all did attend. The night was a dream for every lass and lad, And though we ' ll long remember all the fun we had, The finality of the evening made us sad. On June eighth came our graduation. Valedictorian Janice Pankauski, Salutatorian Bill Laffin, Honor Essayist Cynthia Suzedelys, and Class Day Orators Marcia Perrault and Bill Kaupinis stood in acclamation. As each graduate received his diploma in the cap and gown he wore, We sadly bid farewell to Tenney ' s closing door. You know the rest which we have not told, Of finals passed by just a hair, Of victories we have always shared, And characters we have tried to mold. Our memories of Tenney we ' ll always hold dear Recollections of four short happy years.

CLASS HISTORY By JANICE SHAFER and KIMBERLY LODGE Listen, my classmates, and you shall hear Of historic events of our past four years. ' Twas the fourth of September in ' 63 Hardly a senior is now among thee Who will forget that hectic day and year. As the last freshman class to enter the school Obey the seniors was the general rule. We were teased and abused and we lost our way, But finally came that one great day When we were received in grand array. When brisk October rolled around, Our freshman royalty was crowned. Carolyn Smith was queen and Bill Galarneau was king, And as the Grand March began we found That our class officers were victory bound (Pres. Bill Laffin, V.P. Eileen Cunningham, Sec. Sara Hanson, and Treas. Beth Tobia.) And our Student Council marched to the sound (Nancy Langevin, Marcia Perrault, and Joyce Borren.) ' Twas the dead of winter by the village clock. To the Military Ball we all did flock. There was gaity and dancing until dawn, And when we all became tired and worn, We sadly departed to the sound of the cock. The winter came and went And Field Day was the Cadet ' s next event. When the activities were done, Richie Waithe, John Salmon, and Greg Bernardi had won And they looked forward to the days yet to come. From our class, two majorettes they chose, To the sound of the march, Harriet Kiriajes and Barbara Perkins rose With radiant smiles and pointed toes. They accepted their victory with gracious pride To do their best they would always strive. Suddenly we realized it was June. No more were we freshmen to follow the tune Of seniors all mighty and juniors vain. We ' d sun at the beach and return again To a higher caste in Tenney ' s domain. When we returned to school in September, Hard work and study were on the agenda, But our services we were still to render For in rank our class was still the youngest. Once again we flocked to the polls. On these sophomore officers we were sold (Pres. Fred Nassar, V.P. Eileen Cunningham, Treas. Beth Tobia, Sec. Joanne Grasso) And our Student Council members (Suzy Schruender, Ann Gross, Nancy Langevin, and Kathy Brown) were told That they ' d speak for our class for another year. Our new representatives we all did cheer. Winter crept up on the heels of fall And again it was time for the Military Ball. Red, white, and blue crepe paper hung in the hall. We watched the drills and danced ' til dawn And before we knew it the night was gone. ' Twas the warmth of spring by the village clock Being measured for class rings was the general talk. D.A.R. medals two did win Jan Shafer and Bill Laffin received the pins. And we anxiously awaited our rings ' coming in. At cheering tryouts on the bleachers we did sit To watch the girls cheer and do their splits And six sophomore girls that they did pick Marion Winward, Ellen Kenney, Suzy Schruender, Marcia Perrault, Mai Clark, Beth Tobia were congratulated by all. As they quickly made plans for the coming fall. Majorette tryouts came in May Barbara Perkins and Harriet Kiriajes were chosen, needless to say, As the Cadets looked forward to field day. Richie Waithe, Ron Kobrenski, and Bill Kaupinis rose to great heights, And Ron had the Patenaude medal in his sights. Looking ahead to our junior year, We were suddenly filled with hopes and fears Finished was half of our high school career. As upperclassmen we ' d made the grade, And, in our class, history was made. We again elected our officers four Pres. Fred Nassar, V.P. Ron Kobrenski, Sec. Joanne Grasso, and Treas. Harriet Kiriajes all knew the score. For our Student Council we chose five more. (Kathy Brown, Ann Gross, Suzy Schruender, Glenn Kachadorian, and Nancy Langevin) Who ably spoke for the junior class Our approval they did pass. ' Twas October fifth in ' 65 When our class rings did finally arrive. To flaunt them to our peers we did strive. We were now upperclassmen free and clear And left in high school we had two short years. Cadet activities were in the spotlight And the Military Ball was a happy night When Ron Kobrenski, Richie Waithe, and Bill Kaupinis won the Junior Drill honors. Then Field Day was again upon us And the boys who won (Richie Waithe, Ron Kobrenski, Pete May, and Patenade Medal winner, Ron Kobrenski) were at their height. At cheering and majorette tryouts we did applaud, For their efforts these girls made the cheering squad (capt. Suzy Schruender, Beth Tobai, Marcia Perrault, Mai Clark, Joyce Borren, Marion Winward, Ellen Kenney, Eileen Cunningham, Donna Fichera, Barbara Lawton and Jackie Ciras)
