As a true native of Narragansett, Miss Rose attended Narragansett primary schools, South Kingstown High School, and the University of Rhode Island. From college graduation she started teaching in Narragansett, but left after 4 years to teach at Christian High School in Boston. She returned to the Narragansett School system in 1958 until retirement in 1975. During her teaching years, Miss Rose was responsible for projects above and beyond her line of duty. Besides being an especially fair teacher she has also made it possible for certain students to attend private high schools and other higher institutions of learning. Miss Rose made it possible for Narragansett High School to offer a course in Latin, a class that was essential to students entering particular fields. Miss Rose has also made her generosity known outside of school. For 39 years she was a member of The First Baptist Church, teaching senior high school Sunday School. Miss Rose has other favorite pastimes besides teaching. Being a resident of Narragansett for so long, she could not help but enjoy beaching and crabbing. As students and citizens of Narragansett, we dedicate this yearbook to Miss Caroline Rose. 2 Contents r School Genesis School Year 1 ... Page 10 Faculty and Administration .....

Kimball The power of a wave is not its own, but draws its strength from outside forces — wind, storm, and us. 9 Without our building, there would be no Narragansett High. There would be no crying over grades, no skipping classes, no being sent to the office for not having a pass in the halls, and no trying to make the basketball team. There would be no sitting in class waiting for the period to end, and no running for the doors when the last bell rings. Therefore, it might be appropriate in our flagship yearbook to trace the development of our building - Narragansett High School.' Prior to August 8, 1972, few people would have even considered that Narragansett would have its own high school. Many thought the love affair with South Kingstown, in which Narragansett tuitioned her high school students to S. K. High, would go on forever. Few foresaw that Narragansett would become the fastest growing town in the state, with its population swelling by 107% from 1960 to 1970. The concept of a high school for Narragansett can be traced back to 1964. In that year, a study of Narragansett's school building needs recommended that Narragansett tuition her high school students to S. K. However, it indicated that by 1970-71, the town should either: 1) build her own junior-senior high, 2) regionalize with a neighboring town, or 3) continue to send students to S. K. The report marked the first time a high school had been suggested for Narragansett. By 1966, at both the Fifth Avenue School, and the Junior High, space was at a premium. Coining the phrase, mix mortar, or merge, Superintendent of Schools John W. O'Brien told the School Committee that they had but two choices: either build a high school for Narragansett, or merge with a neighboring town. At this time, regionalization became a real possibility. Talk circulated in South Kingstown and Narragansett as to a possible merger, and a referendum on the matter was held on May 7, 1968. South Kingstown voted to approve the merger, but Narragansett blocked the move by voting down the proposal. However, regionalization was far from a dead issue. By the end of 1968, the Superintendent had recommended that South Kingstown, Jamestown, and Narragansett form a tri-town planning board to study regionalization. In fact, Mr. O’Brien foresaw that such a district could be formed by 1971. In the meantime, Narragansett students would continue to attend S. K. High. That prophesy was not to be fulfilled, for in February of 1969, the South Kingstown School Committee abruptly announced a tuition rate hike of 20% for Narragansett students. They also said that beginning in the fall of 1972, South Kingstown would no longer accept Narragansett's high school students. In light of these events, building no longer seemed such a remote possibility. In 1971, another study of Narragansett's building needs was conducted, and this time the results were clear. The report flatly recommended the construction of a new junior-senior high with a capacity of 1100 pupils. This was due to high tuition and overcrowding in S.K., the fact that regionalization was now a dead issue, and that Narragansett's own schools were seriously overcrowded. - The Robinson, Greene, and Baretta Corp. was engaged to draw plans for the school, and a bond referendum was held on August 8, 1972. All was going well, until a major snag developed in the fall. The school was to have been situated on the Canochet Farms site bordering the present Elementary School property. However, while attempting to acquire the Canochet tract, condemnation procedures were not carried out correctly, and the owner of the land, Harold Arcaro, sued the town, attempting to keep his property. The battle was dragged into the courts. Meanwhile, school officials sat and worried whether the amount of money approved by the voters would be enough to build the complete school, whenever the legal aspects were resolved. In 1973, the town obtained a new site for the school, part of the Theakston deCoppet estate. Bids for the construction of the school could then be sought. The bids were opened in mid-1973. Amid much apprehension, school officials found the low bid to be well under anticipated figured, and awarded the contract to M. G. Allen. Ground was broken in the fall of 1973, and the project was completed after a construction period of 18 months. Narragansett High School opened its doors officially in September of 1975.

SENIORS It takes many years of intensive work and experience before the sea allows the refined and polished shell to be deposited on the shore — thus leaving it to adjust to a new environment. R. F. KIMBALL — THANK YOU Consenting to be our advisor in the eleventh grade, Mr. Kimball was instrumental in uniting our class to face its growing responsibilities, and in helping to form the first class council. By compiling a list of long- and short-term goals, he made the council aware of the hard work that was in store for the next two years. During our junior year, Mr. Kimball joined forces with his Audio-Visual crew and our council to present the movies, 1776, AMERICAN GRAFFITI, and JOHNNY TREMAIN. Also, his audio-visual supervision was essential to the success of the traditional fund-raising project - The Variety Show. The job of class advisor is not without its pains, with frequent reports of abuses” of class privileges; not to mention the call- down he received after our Junior Bunk Day. We would now like to absolve Mr. Kimball from any responsibility for this act, and leave all blame on the rebels of our class. Nevertheless, Mr. Kimball chose to remain our class advisor to the bitter end - graduation. Throughout our senior year, he has assisted, but not dominated, the class and the council in making decisions concerning the prom, graduation, the class trip, and the money-raising activities that have made some of these luxuries possible. Mr. Kimball makes it all possible, including our own school station, N. A.R. A., signing off for now, but never forgotten, Fondly, The Senior Class SENIOR COUNCIL: Joanne Serpa.

Kimball 49 Gary and Mr. Kimball going over some class business. CLASS HISTORY In 1973, the class of 1977 was not your typical group of freshmen when we started our high school career. The ironic thing was that we were not underclassmen, with the fears, anticipations, and wonder that is usually present in most freshmen. For us, a high school didn't exist; we were still located at Mumford Road at that memorable building known as the Junior High. There we stayed for our freshman year where we were upperclassmen to those energetic 7th and 8th graders. We elected our loyal class officers to pull us through an exciting year: Duane Crowe, President; Jill James, Vice-President; Lisa Loomis, Secretary; and Chris Schmitt, Treasurer. Mr. Brown was our advisor, and with his help, we achieved our goal . . .the trip to New York City. There was much preparation for the trip. First was the Variety Show, which was a success. We attempted to put on the play The Beverly Hillbillies , but it didn’t arouse a great deal of enthusi- asm. so we resorted to selling raffle tickets - FRANTICALLY!!! We made it though. And then it was off to the Bronx Zoo, The United Nations, Mamma Leone's, and Radio City Music Hall, all in one fun-filled day that began at 7:00 a.m., and ended at 2:00 a. m.! Throughout the year we had various dances; such as the Halloween dance, Christmas dance, a Valentines Day dance, and a final dance that ended our Freshman year at Narragansett Junior High School, The Spring Dance (A Semi-Formal). Then it was Graduation time. We were the last class to graduate from N.J.H., and our theme As We Leave, We Know We Are Leaving Our Best Friends , was quite appropriate. We split up after that year, going to various high schools for our Sophomore year, with the anticipation of returning the following year to the new Narragansett High School. We each went in different directions that year. We met new friends, and encountered new experi- ences. Most of us went to North Kingstown, the rest to either Prout, Hendriken, chariho, or Bay- view. Though the class was no longer a whole that year, we looked forward to g . tting back together in our Junior year; and anxiously awaited the opening of the new high school in 1975. Our Junior year was one of the most exciting years of all. We returned to Narragansett and were together once again. We were the class of all classes to come, and with the prestige of being upper- classmen. We’d like to give recognition at this time to our good friends , the Class of 1978 . . . Didn’t we get along well with the Sophomores that year” We elected a Junior Council that year, with Pat Creamer chosen as our class council chairman, and the rest of our council: Gary Curhan, Chris Schmitt, Brad Hunt, Duane Crowe, Barbara Hull, and Joanne Serpa. We carefully chose our advisor that year - R. F. Kimball, Thank You! Since we were a new school everything was a first, and the class of '77 was definitely a part of it. Our first football team was formed, headed by coach Jim Zepp. We’ll never forget the day Pat Creamer, Duane Crowe, Bob Rattenni, A1 Verrier, and Bill McCaffrey, shaved their heads . . . What school spirit for our upcoming game against our rivals, South Kingstown!! One of our first steps toward thinking about college began when we encountered those exciting PS ATS in November. They weren’t very exciting!!! 50 We upheld the tradition of the Variety Show that year, as well as sponsoring the movie ”1776 . Both were a great success, and put some money in our treasury. We had some other successful money-making events. For instance, there was the time we made $14 on our Halloween Dance, not to mention the time that we made a big $3 on the raffle we held . . . A noble effort by all. An exciting event for us was when we got our class rings. This was another first, for we designed the style of the ring to be kept for the years to follow. We spent a great deal of time getting ready for an evening we would never forget . . . The Junior Prom. It was held at The Swiss Chalet, and everyone looked so different all dressed up. It was a great year, but we were all looking forward to that important year we had been striving to reach . . . The day we would be Seniors!!! Finally the day caine. In our.Senior year the class chose Gary Curhan as the class council chair- man. The other members of the council were Robin Schmitt, Chris Schmitt, Duane Crowe, Joanne Scrpa, Pat Creamer, and Craig Louzon. Mr. Kimball remained our devoted class advisor. SAT’s and applying to colleges were on our minds now - acceptance or rejection was the question. One of our first money making events of that year was Slave Day. Underclassmen bought us for the day as their slaves. The bidding went high. Seniors reported to their masters the next day, and the school was in an uproar with the seniors doing crazy things. Duane and Ben looked truly beautiful as girls, and Caesar was reincarnated in the form of Bill Fain. It was a huge success, and everyone had a good time . . . especially the underclassmen!! Senior portraits were taken . . . We didn’t look as bad as we thought. It was difficult to recog- nize sonic of us? ’ St Our ultimate goal of the year was to go to Washington, D.C. for our Senior class trip. Money making things were under way to help us get there. Our faculty played the WPRO bench-warmers in December . . . with our new bleachers as a special attraction we drew quite a crowd. Our Class Prom has been scheduled for June 10th and is to be held at the Cranston Hilton: another exciting event we will have anxiously awaited. The Maritimes, our first Yearbook was formed, and the staff has worked hard at meeting deadlines to make this all possible. It's impossible to mention everything we all have experienced for the past four years, but our memories will linger on to help us regain those times. We have been a very close class and have worked together at everything to make our years at Narragansett High School the best! !! The Class of '77 IS the Best!! ! GOODBYE . . . Joseph S. Alban esc.

THAT MARCHING MARINER BAND The Mariner Band, under the direction of Mr. Joe Cifelli, has performed at a number of football games. This is the first marching band ever in the history of the Narragansett High School. The Mariner Band would like to acknowledge the help and support of Mr. Gallman, a former U.R.l. drum major himself. 104 BAND The last two years has seen a remarkable change in the band. From a fledgling junior high unit has emerged a competent, forceful and well-balanced band. Whether on stage or on the football field or at a pep rally, Mr. Cifelli’s regulars can be counted on to give a fine performance. Besides keeping up with demanding rehearsal schedules and seemingly endless practice for individual solo competitions, band members have joined the choir this year in planning and funding a joint trip to Montreal. Can we ever forget the rummage sales, candy bars and jewelry sales they offered us? Mr. Cifelli. band director. BAND OFFICERS ROW 1 - R. Pearson, treasurer, M. Whitney, librarian, E.

The members of the organization, with the help of Ms. Denholm, advisor, plan to arrange activities that will benefit the school and the town. The officers of the first year’s society are, R. Schmitt, president, T. Babich, vice-president, S. Hoyt, secretary, C. Schmitt, treasurer, W. Howard, public relations. Their induction ceremony was held on February 9 at the high school. A second induction is planned for the spring, when more juniors and seniors will be selected for membership. 106 MATH TEAM The Math Team of N. H. S., under the direction of Miss Gregn, has been very successful during the two years of its exist- ence. In its first year, the team’s participation in regional meets qualified it to participate in the New England Regional Competi- tion, and two members qualified to compete in the Atlantic Region Mathematics League Competition. With the addition of new mathletes this year, all sines” point to another winning year. G. Curhan, B. Averill. W. Howard. Miss Green. J. While, E. Barszcz. Where most people give up on scientific formulas and chemical symbols, the N.H.S. Chemistry Team is just beginning to have some fun. In the past year, the Chemistry Team, under Mr. Petro's guidance, entered state- wide competition at U.R.I., and tied for third place. This year, the group plans to enter similar competitions in late spring, where they hope to improve an already excellent record. 107 CHEMISTRY TEAM R. Schmitt. C. Schmitt, J. Curtis, G. Curhan, E.

S.’s Student Council know, without a doubt, what their purpose is - to better the school for all students. Led by Miss Leslie, advisor, and Christy Denelle, president, they have made steps in achieving their goal in the past two years. Among the activities run by the Council are a school store which sells school T-shirts and sup- plies, and a fund raising cam- paign for cancer research called ’’Send a Mouse to College.” They have helped in the gover- nor’s H.E.A.T. program also, by collecting local donations.

And, of course, this high standard of writing could not be achieved without a staff that consists of the top journalists of the school. The ''Compass” staff was advised in '75-'76 by Mrs. Pitocchi, and is advised this year by Mr. Dufresne. SKI CLUB This year was the pertect year to start a ski club, with its sub-zero-C°. temperatures (below freezing) and many inches of the fluffy white stuff. With the help of Mr. Wise, the N.H.S. ski club took advantage of these conditions on several cold, but enjoyable occasions. ROW 1 - M. Provost, S. Cicilline, D. Hoxsie, G. Garofano, R. Allen, S.

PROJECT CLOSE-UP HO What kind of person would get up at 4:30 on a Sunday morning so he can make it to Providence to catch a 6:30 A.M. bus to Washington, D.C.? Well, for sure, he would have to be interested in politics, as were the N.H.S. Close-Up participants and Mr. Robinson, their advisor. This group took pan in a week long intensive study of our government while in the capitol city, and all agreed that they had a good time while learning about what remains a mystery to many. Advisor.

MODEL LEGISLATURE This year, Narragansett High School look pan for the first time in the state- wide Model Legislature program for high school students. Senior high participants from Narragansett traveled to Providence to the State House for the program, which included committee work and an all-day legislative session. The student legisla- tors worked on their own bills, ranging in topic from the repeal of marijuana laws to the control of nuclear energy. A week-long series of caucuses and com- mittee hearings led up to the all-day ses- sion, held on Saturday, April 16. At this session, senior Chris Schmitt held the position of Chairman of the Sen- ate Corporations Committee by virtue of his excellent standing following the statewide leadership tryouts. In this com- petition, judging the effectiveness of such leadership qualities as public speak- ing and knowledge of public affairs, Chris received first place among all students attending the conference. The Model Legislature program is spon- sored by the Rhode Island Social Studies Association, and Mr. Robinson is advisor to the N.H.S. student legislators.

If you walked by the Student Activities room after school and heard a lot of commotion, your ears experienced the yearbook staff on a deadline date. The group was organized in the spring of 1976 and continued to work on the yearbook throughout the summer and the following school year so that they would be able to supply you with a collection of memories. In addition to the editors shown on these pages, many individuals have worked long hours: Scott Durocher, Ellen Guthrie, Lori Meader, Jennifer White, Gary Curhan, Donna Babich, Jane Bourbonnais, Sue Hoyt, Laura Turgeon, and Cindy Pater, to name a few. 112 Sue McCarthy, Layout.

S. students, there were many wrinkles to be ironed out, but with the help of Mrs. E. Smith, the staff was able to overcome their inexperience and work together to create a yearbook of quality. By aiding in drawing up contracts for the yearbook early last year, Mrs. Smith made it possible for there to be a yearbook to work on now. These jobs have passed unseen to most, but to a certain editor who worked closely with her and who is aware of these early plans, I thank you Mrs. Smith for easing my pressures in a situation that was totally new to me. You made it totally terrific. Christopher Schmitt. 1975-76, Joanne Serpa. Faculty. ROW 1 - D. Cicilline, C. Kubert, K. McKendall. P. Nedwidek. B. Durphy. W. Howard: ROW 2 - T. Rose. T. O’Neill. S.

Drama Club, also known as The Starboard Players was organized in 1975 with the help of its first advisor, Mrs. Jane Valliere. In June, 1976, the club presented two Victorian melodramas, Nellie’s Fishy Fate and Passion, Poison, and Petrifaction. In March, 1977, under the direction of Mimi Meldonian, the new advisor; the students performed the musical No, No, Nanette, complete with chorus lines of tap-dancing. The club officers for 1975-76 were: President - Don Dragon, Vice-President - Sue Smayda, Secretary - Patricia Nedwidek, Treasurer - Jennifer White, and Publicity Chairman - Sue McCarthy. This year, the President is Jennifer White, Vice-President is Maureen Farrell, Secretary is Patricia Nedwidek, Treasurer is Jane Carter, and Publicity Chairman is Dawn Moffit. OFFICE AIDES The peaceful, quiet office scene at the left is deceiving - for it was taken late one Friday afternoon. During the course of a normal day, this same scene would be filled with people rushing about, papers to be distributed, mail to be sorted, calls to be answered - in short, a typical busy office. Helping Mrs. Schaeffer and Mrs. Whiting keep order this year were: Terry Basso, Denise Crose, Jo Ann DeCota, Sharon DeCota, Mary Del Signore, Ginny Duff, Janet Fraleigh, Shawn Hazard, Chris Pierce, Cindy Seidel, Robin Skipper, and Denise Soriano. That familiar voice that brought us the morning announcements each day belonged to Gary Curhan. 115 FOOTBALL CHEERLEADERS • 116 ROW 1 - D. Williams, L. Loomis. P. Nedwidek, L. Zwick, K. Cronin, E.

No football game would be the same without the cheerleaders who always enhanced the spirit of the crowd and the band. With the coaching of Mrs. Valliere, and led by co-captains Kim Cronin and Patricia Nedwidek, our football cheerleading squad was able to present impressive cheers, infinite pep, and irresistable smiles. The essence of our school spirit originated with them and became contagious throughout the school year. GUARDIAN ANGELS ROW 1 - P. Carter, R. Schmitt, L. Zenella, M. Braisted, J. Poirier, M.

Mrs. Iacu- ele helped in the formation of these specialized caterers who, in their own way, shared their school spirit. 117 COACHES: D. Wise, J. Zepp, T. Vartecchione. TRI-CAPTAINS: N. Williamson. P.

The highlight of the Mariner’s season was the 36-7 victory over North Smithfield. Although they finished only third in their nine-team league, it is the general consensus of many coaches that the Mariner team was one of the finest first year teams they have ever seen.

Not only is speed imponant to the cross country runner, but, even more so, endurance. The run itself is over a two-and-a-half-mile course, and only the first five runners crossing the finish line bring points for their team. In a typical practice, runners will run a steady seven to eight miles. Coach Robinson repons that this year has been an excellent one in terms of building and training a team for future years. Since all but this year’s captain will be returning next year, it holds much promise for the cross country team in 1977-78. Members of the team this year included senior and captain Eric Barszcz, juniors Rob Reynolds and Randy Shields, sophomores Kevin Barszcz, Joe Christofaro, Kevin Poirier, Jon Tomasi and Jim Turnbull, and freshmen Scott Denelle, Guy Kirk and David Turnbull. Also training this year were excellent junior high prospects: Greg Mitchell, Pat Rogers and Gary Stevens. 122 BASKETBALL CHEERLEADERS A. Guthrie, R. Rocha, T. Brownell, P. Nedwidek, P. Haynes, M. Ouellette, E. Guthrie, P. Delman, D. Wil- liams, J. Sekator, L. Hunt. Only a cheerleader would jump up and down while crying over our first victory. The fact that they’re assisting every jump and foul shot shows that they always knew the team could win. Following co-captains Patricia Nedwi- dek and Ellen Guthrie, the cheerlead- ers led the spectators in footstamping, clapping, and getting a sore throat from yelling to one’s extreme . . . but, so what? It’s all for the team! BASKETBALL VARSITY TEAM FRONT (i-r) - T. Monahan, M. Munroe, J. Slincy. M. Rayia; BACK - B. Hunt, C. Louzon, S. Joss, R. Cavanaugh. Coach Bakr. Narragansett’s Varsity Basketball Team was a big surprise this year. Although lacking in height, the Mariners still put forth a very respectable effort. While not winning that many games, the squad was rarely out of any game, often losing by only one or two points. The Mariners will undoubtedly miss the abilities of graduating seniors Myers Rayta, Craig Louzon, Tony Monahan, Brad Hunt, and Steve Joss when next year’s basketball season begins in the fall. 124 NARRAGANSETT TIMES MARINERS' RECORD Mariners 51 Sciiuate 69 Mariners 57 Burrillville 58 Mariners 66 N.

GIRLS' CROSS COUNTRY To judge ihe success of a particular sports season on the outcome of the scoreboard alone is next to meaningless. The girls’ cross country team is a fine example of this point. Without a strong nucleus of exceptional distance runners, the harriers performed well under considerable handicaps. Their Coach, Andrew Robinson, led the team reassuringly through their first varsity season. Although the team went without a victory in this first year of competition many individuals excelled in state-wide contests. Among these were senior Jeanne Poirier and sophomore Jean O’Dowd. Highest honors for the team, however, went to junior Linda Nedwidek, who was honored by other coaches in being selected for both the all-class and all-state cross country team. 132 Coach Robinson, Captain Jeanne Poirier GYMNASTICS PICTURED ABOVE: ON THE BALANCE BEAM (I. io r.) - D.

The gymnastics team was established at N.H.S. during the 1976-77 season. Despite the fact that they had never trained for this sport before, and were without the benefit of a J. V. season the previous year, these courageous girls competed in a tough Varsity schedule. They worked many hard, grueling hours learning the basic gymnastic skills, becoming acquainted with the various equipment they would be using, and limbering up already agile bodies for the many gymnastic meets. Coach Dave Napier has taught them well, and despite a dismal season record statistically, both the coach and the team members say that this has been a very successful year; the success they feel will undoubtedly be measured in the profitable years ahead, as the entire squad will be returning to competition next year. 133 GIRLS' BASKETBALL VARSITY TEAM: KNEELING - K.

The team would also like to thank the seniors who will be graduating: Jeanne Poirier, Sue Hoyt, and Mary Braisted. They were instrumental in last year’s successful J.

Teachers like Mr. Barscz, Mr. Dubilewski, Mr. Robinson, Mr. Tucker and Mr. Poirier have put in their time to help make intramurals successful for both the junior high and the upper grades. In addition to the regular intramurals program, Mr. Zepp's weight-lifting and Mr. Adham’s junior high wrestling programs have been very popular activities.
