It began as an idea, became lines on a blueprint, and progressed with construction and completion to form a building. However, the true Minnechaug did not come into being until the student body filled its halls and classrooms. For with the students came the spirit, loyalty, and dedication which gave a breath of life to the massive construction of bricks, steel, and glass. It is the life within that makes the school — the faculty, the students, the activities, the teams, and the vast opportunities for knowledge. These building blocks are presented in this year ' s FALCON, and are representative of the growth which has made Minnechaug a school to be proud of. c ; JUL 1970 Dedication Administration and Faculty Seniors Graduation Underclassmen Activities Athletics Arthur W.

And so, Mr. Reynolds, as a principal, rasl-an educator, as a friend, we dedicate the Falcon to youT z Z UJ — a. 2 5 o. o o o _1 O O y -B JL3 1 1Z lis |--n ir : in H E 1 i- o s I: m . L JC i 1 to J: an; —a- Administration and Faculty The faculty and administra- tion, unlike the students, are a permanent integral part of a school. The student comes as an inexperienced freshman, and four years later gradu ates as a mature senior. He helps Minnechaug to grow, but when he graduates his contribution is completed. The faculty member, however, spends his entire career giving of himself to the school — in his knowledge, interest, and friendship. In the classroom, the teacher interprets his knowledge and ex- perience to the student. Through his guidance, he hopes to help the students grow toward the maturi- ty each one is seeking. He also shows his interest by supporting Minnechaug ' s teams and productions, and by directing his activities with enthusiasm. And, because of Minnechaug ' s size, he is able to offer friendship to the student, thus helping to create an atmosphere of warmth and security. It is the faculty who have put the educational building block of Minnechaug in place and who have made it not just a building, but an edifice of learning. MR. IRVING H. AGARD, Superintendent of Schools MR. KENNETH E. JOHNSON, Assistant Superintendent of Schools To the Class of 1962: Your successes and achievements, as recorded in this yearbook and in the school records, are a source of deep satisfaction to us and to the citizens of this community. May you continue to strive for the clarity of thought and seriousness of purpose so necessary for the realization of your demonstrated potential. MR. LINCOLN A. DEXTER, Principal MR. RICHARD TRENHOLM, Vice Principal Chairman, Social Studies To the Graduates: May we congratulate you, the members of the class of 1962, as you stand on the threshold of independent judgment. Let the formal instruction you have completed season your actions but always favor the opportunities to broaden your understandings. ' JL . MR. CHARLES THOMPSON Guidance Counselor MR.

Like an insect or animal which is transformed, the student, too, must change and move toward ma- turity. During his senior year, he must discard his childish ways and plan for his future, when he must accept the responsibilities and privileges of being an adult. At graduation, the Senior takes with him what Minnechaug has given to him, and leaves behind what he has given to his school. He has participated in classes, teams, and activities, and upon graduation, leaves his reputation and record in all of them. While a student, the senior is a part of Minnechaug; but when he grad- uates. Minnechaug becomes a part of him. 21 .

Senior Week The decorations rang out a theme of Painting the Roses Red. and delightful cardboard char- acters from Alice in W onderland watched almost two hundred of us cha-cha. twist, waltz to the strains of Ronnie Drum and his orchestra . . . 42 ... As more and more students arrived, extra tables were brought in to accommodate them. Most of the Class of 1962 attended the prom, thus cli- maxing the social activities of the school years and setting the pace for a memorable and successful Senior Week. 43 THE BANQUET The Terrace of the Yankee Pedlar Inn was the scene of good food, satisfied stomachs, and busy chat- ter, as we happily ate our way through herds of roast beef, schools of lobster, gardens of vegetables, and gallons of ice cream. We rounded off the evening by upsetting the entire restaurant first with our skit concerning a typical day in the faculty lounge . . . 44 . . . and then with our singing of Mutilated Memories, a farce on life at Minnechaug by the Three Browns — Marion, Marge, and Penny. Pa- trons and kitchen help alike came running to the windows to hear us — the Class of 1962. 45 Before the curtain opened, the members of the class were bustling around trying to get organized; everything was in a turmoil, but the audience never knew it. There we sat. proudly, confidently. The traditional Class History. Prophecy, Will, and Bal- lot were read, and we all laughed — sometimes with the audience, sometimes without them. At the close, when the audience rose patriotically to sing the Alma Mater, to their surprise we belted forth with that, not so patriotic, Mutilated Memories. 46 GRADUATION REHEARSALS For one week before the big night the senior class met in the auditorium to rehearse for the com- mencement exercises. We were assigned seats, and they were changed. We practiced marching in and out, out and in — left, hesitate; right, hesitate; check partner; left, hesitate . . . And we sang, trying to learn the words to our Alma Mater. Each day the marching and singing improved but would it ever be good enough? 47 Most Popular Class Sports CLASS BALLOT Best Dressed _ Pat Downer, Jim Sazama Best Looking Sherry Locke, Tom Burt Most Popular Penny Brown, Bill Smith Class Athletes Penny Brown, Bill Payne Smartest Elinore Chapman.

Each class has its own characteristics which distin- guishes it from the others. The Juniors are spirited; the Sophomores are ambi- tious, and the Freshmen are uncertain and shy. They all, however, are enthusi- astic toward their school. As the youth of the school, they defy conformity; and their gaiety bubbles forth in many as- pects of school life: I laugh at Life; its antics make for me a giddy game, Where only foolish fellows take themselves with solemn aim. I laugh at pomp and vanity, at riches, rank, and pride; At social inanity, at swagger, swank, and side. At poets, pasty-cooks and kings, at folk sublime and small, Who fuss about a thousand things that matter not at all; At those who dream of name and fame, at those who scheme for pelf . . . But best of all the laughing game — is laughing at myself. —ROBERT SERVICE ► 53 Juniors The Junior Class is a spir- ited class indeed. The major- ity of the cheerleaders are jun- iors, and their powerful voices, along with their class- mates ' , can he heard support- ing the various teams. This class is also original and ambitious. They spon- sored the Minnechomp, an imaginative supper and rec- ord hop combined — the first of its kind and a huge success. This ever-alert class also spon- sored the Junior Class Car- nival which was quite an am- bitious and profitable as well as entertaining undertaking. Of course the Junior Prom was the highlight of this, their Junior year. President — Robert Balser Vice President — Peter Grosso Secretary — Jean Gurney Treasurer — Roy Babineau 54 I :!S.

Their exuberance and en- thusiasm have been a trademark which has made them an impor- tant asset to Minnechaug. Their class and school spirit have pro- duced an extremely industrious group. The Class of 1964 started an- other Minnechaug first with its magazine drive. They sold over $1500 worth of magazines net- ting them a $500 profit. The outstanding salesmen were award- ed pins and other prizes. The Hawaiian Hop, the re- freshment stand at the basketball games, and the very successful House of Horrors at the Junior Carnival were all sophomore sponsored activities. These proj- ects have helped to lessen the ex- penses of their Junior and Senior years. Widi their industry and integrity the Sophomores have and will continue to build the reputation of Minnechaug.

Minnechaug ' s class of 1965 has taken this fact in stride, however, and seems to have passed through this critical stage with few adverse effects. In an effort to overcome mon- ey problems, the Freshmen spon- sored a Halloween Hop, which was well attended. They also had a Penny-pitch at the Junior Carnival which netted them ap- proximately $20. This spirited class has proven itself an asset to Minnechaug ' s various teams and clubs, thus forecasting a successful future for our athletic activities, and academic programs.

The number of clubs, activities and committees has been expanding at such a tremendous rate that Min- nechaug now boasts more than thirty organized groups. It is the student body that builds the spirit of the school. Through participation in activities — from organizations which are purely cul- tural to ones which are pure delight — students develop their school loyalties. The extent of this loyalty determines the success of each group, and the reputation which Minnechaug acquires rests on this success. At Minnechaug there are many clubs and activities, enough so that each student may find at least one to fit his needs. By helping the stu- dent to take an active part in the workings of the school, the clubs build Minnechaug as they build the student. 71 Seated: S. Welch, A. Goodwin, N. Roy, P. Linford.

Student Council Serving as a link between the students and the administration, the Student Council assists in the running of Minnechaug and its functions. This year, the Student Council organized a Snack Time break, and appropriated funds for various school organizations. At the beginning of the year, a Student Handbook was published and distributed. Officers include President, Arthur Goodwin; Vice President, Steven Welch; Secretary, Nancy Roy; and Treasurer. Paul Linford. School Store The Student Store is a non-profit organization started in the fall of 1959. It is operated by the students with the aid of Mrs. Stuart, faculty advisor. Its chief function is to carry supplies which students may need for their school work. 72 W. Clark, R. Richter, Mrs. Stuart, A. Goodwin, S. Welch. Seated: M. Kook, A. Stebbins, G. Steup, M. Hall, H.

Student Hostesses It is the duty of the Student Hostesses to greet and orientate visitors to the school. This year they assisted at the Western Massachusetts Music Festival, greeted and assisted the entering Freshmen, and ushered at Graduation. Library Service Club The Library Service Club is composed of students who serve the school as assistants in the library. Among the services rendered to the school by the club are — assisting school patrons at the library desk, processing new books, performing various business and clerical routines, writing book reviews for school papers, planning displays, exhibits and other public relations activities. The club, as a unit, occasionally plans all-school programs. This year it sponsored an assembly program in which retired Major Donald E. Keyhoe spoke on unidentified flying objects. Kneeling: L.

The four standards of the Society are Scholarship, Character, Leadership, and Service. All members must be elected on the basis of these four principles, with unanimous vote of the faculty. This election is the highest honor the school can award to a student. This year, honor society representatives inducted the charter members of the East Longmeadow Honor Society in the fall, and the newly elected members of our own S.ociety, the Arthur W. Reynolds Chapter, in February. National Junior Honor Society The National Junior Honor Society was founded by the National Association of Secondary School Principals several years after the National Honor Society was established. It recognizes the outstanding achievements of freshmen and sophomores on the basis of the Junior Society ' s standards — Character, Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Citizenship. All members are elected by the unanimous vote of the faculty. Seated: L. White, C. Peterson, A. Payne, Secretary, A. Nakashian, C. Soverow, S. Maxfield, S. Menard, J. Foster. Back Row: R. Motyka, L.

At the beginning of the year, an enrollment drive was conducted in the school, during which approximately $145 was collected. Groups helped by the club this year were: Monson State Hospital, The South End Community Center, and Westover Air Force Base Hospital. Future Teachers of America The Minnechaug chapter of the Future Teachers of America (FTA) was organized early in the Spring of 1962. The basic purposes of the chapter are to interest students in becoming teachers and to acquaint them with the opportunities of the teaching profession. Due to the limited number of periods left in the school year for the club to meet, only a few programs were held. A constitution was written and accepted, and officers and members were installed in the organization by the members of the Longmeadow FTA. Seated: P. Kendrew, K. Frost, V. Brooks, C.

Smoke Signal Staff As the school has grown larger, the school newspaper has increased its circulation to approximately half the student body. This year enough funds became available for The Smoke Signal to be printed. The paper comes out twice a month and is distributed in the homerooms every second Friday. The aim of The Smoke Signal is to inform the students of school activities and include special interest features.

Scroll The Scroll is a literary magazine published twice a year under the direction of Miss Little, Chairman of the English Department. Elinore Chapman, Editor, and Kathryn Frost, Co-Editor, select for publication the best themes, poems and short stories writt en by Minnechaug students. The magazine shows students what is con- sidered to be good work for high school students while it encourages creative writing and rewards worthwhile efforts in the field of literature. Since its modest beginning, in 1959, the Scroll has improved in quantity, quality, and appearance with each new issue. Miss Little, Advisor, K. Frost, E. Chapman. 77 Kneeling: S. Carter, B.

They met twice a week during the year and occasionally after school when deadlines got close. Each committee planned the layout for its own section with help and approval of the editors and the faculty advisor, Miss Solomon. The senior class decided to have fall delivery for the Falcon in order to have pictures of Senior Week — the Senior Prom, Class Night, the Senior Banquet, and Graduation. A supplement came out in the spring to be used for senior, underclassman, and faculty autographs that would be unattainable in the fall. In order to augment money earned from subscription and adver- tising campaigns, the Falcon staff sponsored several dances throughout the year. Kneeling, Left to Right: R. Lewis, S. Gates, P.

Leading roles were taken by Margot Barnes, Sandra Jenkins, Charles MacMullen and William Eakins. James Anderson completed the cast. Drama Club The Drama Club was formed to introduce various phases of dramatics to its members. This year the Drama Club has sponsored two productions: The Importance of Being Earnest, a three-act play, and a competition between the four classes. In the weekly meetings, there have been numerous student programs. These have included a discussion of Broadway plays and musicals, a poetry reading contest, various skits and pantomimes, and a taped radio play. During the last segment of the club activities, the group was divided into three sections, each producing a short play of literary merit. ONE ACT PLAYS Junior Play — In the an- nual play competition held among the four classes, the Junior play, under the direc- tion of Mrs. Hooper, was selected for first place. For their prize-winning play, Sun- day Costs Five Pesos, they received $25 for their class treasury. Jody Avon received the best actress award.

Whittling and Woodcarving In its first year, the Whittling and Woodcarving Club has produced several ex- cellent projects. The students choose their own designs and projects, which are usually small because of the short amount ' of time in which to work. The club endeavors to acquaint students with a worthwhile hobby through which they develop an appreciation for good craftsmanship. Coin Club Merely an idea a year ago, the Coin Club has developed into an active organization. The purpose of the club is to familiarize the beginning collector with the many fields of coin collection and to expand the established collector ' s knowledge of the coins he has in his collection and those which he is most interested in buying. Auctions were held, and excellent guest speakers were provided. Seated: P. Chalifoux, W. Washburn, M. Ash. Standing: A. Christensen, Mr. Bamford. Advisor, W. True, Treasurer, C.

Mr. Bamford, group advisor, split the club into two groups, since a few students were more familiar with the slide rule than others. One group worked out problems while the other was instructed on the use of different scales. Students not only learned how to use the slide rule, but also to use it with accuracy and speed.

It has been not only the ability of the players, but also their sportsmanship which has earned Min- nechaug the reputation winning and losing gracefully. At Minnechaug, the stress has been not so much on winning the games, but more on building lively spirit and good sports- manship among the spectators as well as the players. Sports have given all students a common interest, thus uniting the entire school. Everyone can be part of the athletic pro- gram, either as a participant or a cheering fan; it is for that reason that the entire stu- dent body is proud of the trophies which many teams have given to the school. When Minnechaug was constructed, it was equipped with many, fine sports facilities which have helped to build a strong athletic program. However, the equipment alone does not make a good sports program. In addition it takes much hard work, interest, and loyalty on the part of all students to build intangible co-operation and success from merely tangible facilities. 97 Girls ' Sports G.A.A. The Girls ' Athletic Associa- tion is by far the largest organization in the school for its membership is open to all girls. The G.A.A. under the direction of its Execu- tive Board has sponsored such varied activities as bake sales, intramural games, in- terscholastic play days, a Father and Daughter Night, Cupid ' s Capers, and the G.A.A. Banquet. GIRLS ' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION BOARD L to R: S. Martin, L. Rose, B. Dickinson. J. Herter, J. Gurney, M. Brown, C. Willcutt. The officers of the Board are Jonina Herter.

The routines are created by the girls them- selves. They then put in many grueling hours practicing each move to their satis- faction. The girls were chosen by Mrs . Broadbent, the team ' s director, because of their poise, personality, and skill and ability in marching. 100 The Majorettes have shown great improvement since their first performance with the band. Under the direction of Mr. Starkie, they have participated in the Western Massachusetts Music Festival.

The girls, selected on the basis of interest and ability, practiced for many long, hard hours. It was this hard work that made it possible for them to become the new State Champions. Going further in competition, the team captured third place in the New England Gymnastic Federation Champion- ships. L. to R.: E. Hutchinson, S. Boyer, S. Norris, G. Riendeau, C. Anderson, J. Brown.

Armed with last year ' s experience and this year ' s new recruits, thev plunged into a rigorous training schedule. Their hard work proved successful: although they did not always emerge victorious, they gained much in the way of experience and sports- manship. 105 ' Varsity Cheerleaders L to R: B. Dickinson, S. Carter, G. Steup, R. Marco, B. Trombley, L. Anderson. L. Bartlett, H. MacAllister, C. Anderson.- The Cheerleaders probably do the most to instill school spirit whether at a pep rally or an athletic event. Lynne Anderson and Bev Trombley. this year ' s co-captains, did an admirable job in proving that noise alone does not foster school spirit. The team well represented our school in new uniforms at two cheerleading tournaments this year — one at Spen- cer and one at Frontier Regional High Schools. J.V. Cheerleaders The Junior Varsity squad is now raw material, but in years to come it will form the nucleus of the Varsity team. Led by their captain.

The Girls ' Synchronized Swim Team is organized each spring and is com- prised of girls capable and interested in executing water ballet. Annually, the girls put on a demonstration of rou- tines that they ' ve composed themselves. Without the effort of the entire team, this production would not be possible. The girls, along with Mrs. Richards and Mrs. Habig as advisors, worked tire- lessly to produce an unusual a.nd exotic evening ' s entertainment, West of the un. r w% L- Girls ' Intramural Sports The Girls ' Intramural Sports program is designed to pro- vide an opportunity for all girls to participate in an athletic activity of their choice.

Class A: First The Minnechaug track team, having captured second place in the Western Mass. Championships last year, viewed the new season with a great deal of apprehension if not a bit of ruefulness, after suf- fering graduation losses. However, after a few losses by less than two points, the team regained its cham- pionship form and ended with four straight over- whelming victories. At this year ' s Western Mass. Meet, the Falcons raced to a thrilling one point victory over defending Greenfield, the meet being decided in the 180 yard low hurdles, the final event. The first place trophy now stands in the Minnechaug trophy case due to the combined efforts of the sea- son ' s stars, Bob Balser, Dave McGuill, Jim Vance, Glenn Olmstead, and Don Garceau. Coach Charles Thomson is certain that next year ' s team will be equally strong in the coming season and will retain its championship. tm is : 123 Front Row: S. Welch, P. Bongiorni, B. Morgan. R.

The team was led through the season by veterans Gordon Willcutt and John Twomey. Every year tennis develops more interest, and with this interest come more and better players. Good luck is extended to Coach Spencer for the promising future in a sky-rocketing sport. First Row: S. Giles, W. Lempart, C. Beverly, R. Newsome, L. Godfrey, R. Lockwood, F. Colton, W. Mueller, G.
