MINNECHAUG REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL WILBRAHAM, MASSACHUSETTS NINETEEN HUNDRED SIXTY EIGHT During these years we grow in many ways: Through studying, wondering, at times, even crying . . the solitude of the hours spent alone; Or through hours spent sharing laughs, songs— a good discussion. 3 And we grow not only with people of our own age But with people of an age that can teach. through guidance, understanding, and knowledge . . . in and out of the classroom And we grow together; as a class. questioning, answering writing, speaking.

We have the potential of no other generation that has passed before us. Education, his- tory, and the exciting world we live in gives us this capability. We are aware of our power, and through it, we question beyond answering. And we shall con- tinue to question . . . for here lies our greatness.

The first few daws were confusion— 330 Freshmen lost, bewildered, and trying madly to organize themselves so that they might become a part of the school. Activities and sports began, class officers and stu- dent council members were chosen to represent your part of Minnechaug. Now that first year is ending; you look forward to three more of many new trials and errors. But this time vou have one more thing on your side: you are no longer Freshmen; you are no longer the underdogs.

Two years that you can now see only as memories; the Christmas dance, the magazine drive, and the first year on Varsity athletic teams. But now there are two more years. What will become of your class? As seniors, we know the sadness of say- ing goodbye. You cannot help but re- joice at the prospects of what is ahead.

Quick Thinking Is A Number One Requirement On The ' 68 Chess And Debating Teams Each year the Debating Team works specifically on one problem. Should Congress establish uniform regulations for criminal investigation is now being discussed, and the affirmative team must come up with propositions while the negative side must be able to think quickly and discover an argument for each. With these requirements, the Debating Team has come to be an intelligent group of on-the-spot thinkers. It takes more than just quick thinking to be a member of the ' 68 Chess Team. Practice and skill are also needed and Mr. Salk makes sure the team gets the skill through competing against each other for a place on the team.

B-9 is usually filled with FALCON editors, members of the staff, and photog- raphers. Lights flash as photographers check their hook-ups; the staff members search for erasers, green proportional wheels and rulers. Meanwhile, the editors shuffle through piles of preliminaries, triplicates, and hundreds of photographs. This activity may go on until well after five when there is a deadline coming up soon. When the yearbook finally comes out, no other people in the school are quite as pleased as the FALCON staff. But, never surprised; thev knew all along what a great year- book it would be.

Coach Dunn Does It Again— Basketball Team Ends Season Undefeated Some of the qualities of a winning team can ! e seen in these pictures of the Falconettes in action. The Celtics were in good standing; even too busy to come cheer for Minnechaug ' s Falconettes. But the ' 68 girls ' team was not to be denied. With co-captains Betty Misiaszek ( Star ) and Chris Rudy as leading seniors, the twelve girls displayed remarkable skill and togetherness backed by a tremendous amount of team and school spirit. Sandy Ciecko, as manager, and Mrs. Bolduc, as assistant coach, were a part of this spirit that pushed the Falconettes to an undefeated season and a spot in the West. Mass. Tourney. Much of this success can be contributed to the early morn- ing practices and a coach named Miss Dunn— both rare for anv team. Girls ' Gym Team Takes W. Mass. Title BOTTOM ROW: C. Liese, P. Canney, K.

JV Cheerleaders Enjoy Winning JV Season . . . The 1967 fall season was one of indisputable inter- est, and the J.V. Cheerleaders played a major role in carrying on a spirit campaign for the successful teams they cheered. But they did more than cheer. Those hot dogs you ate along with coffee or coke at the football games were sold by the J.V. ' s, and many thanks are in order to captain Anne McCaf- frey and novice coach Miss Weatherby for their fine leadership of a fine group of girls. Grrreat— Karen Dexter jumps into cheer while other J.V. ' s follow. 96 Pam Canney spots a squat vault on the horse.

Girls ' Leader Corp is Kept Busy An often unnoticed group of girls, the 1967 Girls ' Leaders Corp, worked quietly in the background. Sporting new white gymsuits, the girls willingly assisted the Physical Education Department in many ways, ranging from taking attendance to ref- ereeing and supervising athletic events. In addi- tion, for the first time they sold the programs you purchased at the home football games. Thanks to Miss Cascio and Miss Dunn for their help in mak- ing this year ' s Girls ' Leaders Corp an organization that has been of service and value to others. 97 BOTTOM ROW: M. Woods, P.

During the fall of 1967 the Cross Country team rose to supremacy in the athletic world, compiling an enviable record of seven wins and four losses. Coaches Bamford and Logan conditioned a tight nucleus of runners, including Bill Carpenter, Doug Flint, Scott Boyer, John Nickolls, and Win Wooster. Frosh Steve Fuqua and Harry Meikeljohn showed prom- ise throughout the season, and were largely responsible for a stun- ning J.V. victory over Tantas- qua. A strong group of under- classmen will be returning to the team next fall, and the outlook is bright. Coach ponders about the upcoming meet. 100 • w® m John Nickolls arches in preparation for the race. Coach Bamford gives a final pep talk before the Tech meet.

Jeff Norris hustles by another Monson opponent. Mike McMillan shows fancy footwork in getting ball awav from Chicopee Comp. opponent. Minnechaug ' s John Jenkins controls ball against Monson ' s 3 on 1 advantage. In spite of the overall win and loss record of the ' 67 Soccer team, the games were extremely close and many could have gone the other way. This year ' s team was a spirited team that gained valuable experience and improved as the season progressed. The team emphasized a strong season finish with an impressive 4 to win over Monson. In a post-season game with the W. Mass. tourney-hound Technical High soccer team, our team again showed their potential strength that ensures the returning 14 lettermen and the school a most successful season for next year. Special recognition went to Co-captains Dave Gilson and John Jenkins, who received honorable mention in the Pioneer Valley League, and to Mike McMillan, who was named second string All-League goalie. ■ft BOTTOM ROW: M.

This year the problem was experience. The Falcons now have developed a depth and talent for the ' 68- ' 69 season, forecasted by this year ' s spirited South Hadley game. Though this game was lost score- wise, (33-6), the Falcons demonstrated a spirit and team unity which was far superior to any seen prior to that Saturday.

The team did break one school record and broke it twice. In both battles with Palmer, the Falcons strug- gled to the highest-scoring losing game. Even with many games decided by just a few points, the stubborn courtmen pulled the big- gest upset in two years and determined the Valley Wheel winner with a 52-49 win over Agawam. This year ' s team ' s strong finish and high potential will be tested when the Minne- chaug hoopsters compete in the Western Mass. Small Schools Tournament. With two juniors and one sophomore of this year ' s start- ing team returning with promising J.V. skill and depth, next year ' s team will be in strong contention for the Valley Wheel Champion- ship.

With the number of first-year players on this year ' s Junior Varsity team, it was an experience-gaining season. The success of the team is clearly seen by the continuous progress the team made as the season progressed. This year ' s team upset the long streak of losses to Ludlow with a one-point victory when Jodie Twining sank an outside shot with five seconds left in the game. Under the direction of Coach Whalen, the J.V. Falcons overcame a 17 point deficit at East Longmeadow and inspired the fans with wins over Enfield and undefeated Agawam. Coach Whalen instructs J.V. ' s during time-out. ' 68 Swim Team Ends With Eight Wins, Five Losses The strength of this year ' s swim team was made up by sophomores R. Keyes, D. Masearo, R. Steal), D. Cyr, T. Jordan and S. Safford, with all out sup- port of the juniors R. Markhart, S. Miller, R. Wil- son and seniors C Poland, G. Trevallion and D. Wilson. This strong nucleus was coached by Mr. Jerry Badger and Mr. Harold Miller who were an ever-present and continuing symbol of guidance to the boys. The biggest upset of the year was against Chicopee Comprehensive. In this late season meet, the Falcons were able to score against the favored team and win by a slight margin. The team had a record of 8-5, and placed fifth in W. Mass. competition. Don Safford discusses the scores of his dives with Coach Jerry Badger.

The Swing Band Show Draws Standing Ovation— March 1, 2 Jean Robbins, Denise Mediavilla, and Joe Sullivan sing Find Yourself a Man , from Funny Girl. Judv Clark sings Somewhere Mv Love from Doctor Zhivago. The boys ' chorus line danced their way into the hearts of the audience. The boys ' chorus line— Barrv Morgan, Chuck Poland, Eli Zaret, Craig McCauley, David Gilson, Duncan Hannah, Ron Garden, Doug Richter, and Bob McCarthy. The Swing Band, the dominant force in the show, was made up of Raymond Vakel, Dennis Giokas, Thomas Fogg, Stanley Ten- erowicz and George Lemieux on saxes; trumpeters James Dam oulakis, David Czohara, Peter Snow and Michael Sullivan: on trombones George Riggs, Alvan Richmond and Edwin Thrasher; drummers David Fritz and David Nieske; Man Richmond bass; guitar Jeffrey Levesque and William Ingle on piano. The Swing Band Show, a smashing success with audience and critic alike, combined the talents of individuals with those of a select sec- tion of the band. The first act showed the elite of Minnechang ' s musicians, such as the Boys ' Chorus. The soloists, Judy Clark and Paula Kmetz and folksingers Karen Hamilton and David Christo- pher showed Minnechaug at its best. Act two was an excerpt from the Broadway play Funny Girl, starring Pamela Hunde, Denise Mediavilla, and James Garneau. This part of the Swing Band Show featured both the acting and musical talents of Minnechang ' s finest performers. The Swing Band Show was yet another success for Mr. Beeler and the already illustrious Music Department. A special thanks to Mrs. Kimberly for her direction of this and many other of this years dramatic productions. David Christopher singing I Want to be Free and an original composition. Ill RIGHT: Our favorite clown, Chris Boyer, performing on the parallel bars. Gymnasts Produce Artistic And Don Baineau broke Minnechaug ' s Tiger Leaping rec- ord by jumping over twelve men piled on the long horse. Captain Don Babineau performed on the parallel bars with the same ease and perfection that carried him through the season. The end of the show featured various tableaux made by selected gymnasts painted silver. This one is called Bondage and Freedom . Captains Pam Canney and Don Babineau led the Grand March which opened this year ' s gymnastics show. The team offered rapid-fire vaulting, tiger leaping, and a square dance interrupted bv hand- springs and round-offs. Two familiar clowns brought down the house with a riotous parallel bars routine. The exciting night ended with a ser- ies of tableaux dramatically representing the spirit of Minnechaug. Under the direction of coaches Cascio, Mills, Kober and Rainey, the resulting ex- hibition was a show to be proud of.

After having lost man) outstanding seniors, they thought that the ' 68 season would be spent rebuilding the team for the future. A concerted team effort in both run- ning and field events boosted the Falcons to win over such tough teams as Longmeadow and Tantasqua. This season ' s record is a fine tribute to retiring Coach Thompson, who has compiled an outstanding 60-6 record in his seven years as head track coach.

Tenni s Team Loses Two Seniors Although the 6-10 record doesn ' t show it, the ' 68 tennis squad worked very hard and throughout the season displayed both effort and spirit. Brad Pin- ni ' v and Gary Pet old, both four year team mem- bers, are a great loss for the team, but they leave behind a strong nucleus of underclassmen. With some hard work and more good coaching by Mr. Whalen and Mr. Logan, the 1969 tennis season could produce a better record than this year ' s. ABOVE: Brad Pinnev warms up before a meet.

Hard work in practice paid off for Coach Verani and his team. Though every £ame was a complete team effort, the combination of Pete Skrzvniarz and Jeff Vanderscoff promises the varsity a good pitching staff in the future. Carl Kibbe, Jodie Twining, and Pete Skrzvniarz paced the batters. In a game against South Hadley, Ri- chard Bargon laid down a suicide squeeze bunt in the sev- enth inning to score two runs and give the Falcons a dra- matic 4-3 win. iMMm UPPER LEFT: Jodie Twining makes the putout with Greg Strycharz backing the play up.

During the season, they upset Longmeadow and also broke Ludlow ' s 24 game win skein with a stunning 3-2 win. The team accomplished this by pre- senting a new brand of baseball game, never before seen at this school.

This nucleus of girls, including six new starters, was coached by Miss Dunn and once again her vigorous training paid off. Pitcher Bettv Misi- aszek, the Captain and the only senior on the team, struck out 14 out of 15 batters, 13 in a row; Denise Gagnier boosted the Falcon image with three homeruns. But this is not to say that these, and only these, account for the great season. Co-opera- tion and a united team effort enabled the girls to trounce all their other opponents.

Few people realize how much work went into the production of the 1968 synchronized swimming show. Costumes, narration, and props were only a few details contributing to the success of Reflec- tions . Choreography was done entirely by the girls; routines ranged from the wild Westward Ho to the traditional Pomp and Circumstance . The girls worked hard on all their routines, but as usual, they managed to turn this work into fun. Fun included stuffing their clothes with foam from the track high jump pit, hanging Flash (Dave) Cilson ' s sign in the girls ' dressing room, and tossing Coach Cascio in the pool fully clothed.

This year ' s The Sound of Music was a fantastic success. Pam Hunde, Dave Hebert, and Sue Burt played their roles ex- ceptionally well; but without the help of Mrs. Kimberly, Mr. Killain, Miss Redfield, and the tech theater staff, the plav would not have received such an enthusiastic response. Standing ovations and fan letters all were a part of the tremendous and praiseworthy production. Congratulations to all involved!
