ORDER OF CON Dedication Administration DEDICATION We, the Class of 1964, dedicate our yearbook to our class advisors, Mrs. Helen Pease and Mr. Laurence Tripp, in recognition of the time and effort they have given to helping our class during our high school years. The interest they have shown in our individual as well as class projects is appreciated far more than we can here express. Constantly they have been willing to help us with our personal and school problems, to give advice, or just to listen to us. They have worked along with us, as well as directed us. They have helped us to see what should be done, but they have allowed us to do it ourselves. They have always treated us as adults, still realizing that we need their help. They have set for us an example of conscientiousness, kindness, and consideration for others. We will ever be in their debt for the lessons in service that we have learned from them. They have watched us grow from incoming Freshmen to graduating Seniors. As we move on, their responsibility for us is ended; but we know that they will never fail to help anyone who may in the future need their guidance. For those who follow us, as much as for ourselves, we thank these two. Without their cooperation and guidance even this yearbook would not have been possible. Thus it is in itself a memorial to them, a symbol of the honor in which we hold these two: Mrs. Helen Pease and Mr. Laurence Tripp. 5 N 0 I T A R T S I N I M D A MR. RAYMOND L. TRABOLD Principal To the Class of 1964: The diploma which you have received signifies the completion of your high school education. Do not let graduation mark the end but the beginning of your educational process. You have been prepared to carry on your studies for yourself. This diploma means that you have completed your formal education. Your school and teachers have done all they could for you. Now it is up to you to start helping yourself and learn how to stand on your own two feet. Education is a life-long process. Do not stop this important job in the middle. See it all the way through! Each and every member of the Class of 1964 is a credit to the high school. Your past four years should be an inspiration to you, an inspiration to advance in whatever phase of work you have set your sights upon. May I personally wish each and every one of you my sincere congratulations and best wishes for health, happiness and success for the future. This yearbook is a symbol of accomplishment. Whatever you do in the future, this yearbook, which announces that you have achieved success in high school, is worth keeping and displaying. Look toward the horizon and build your dreams for the days that lie ahead. With every good wish. New Milford High School 6 MR. WILLIAM J. O'NEILL Vice-Principal MR. PAUL J. NEWMAN Guidance Director MRS. ELLEN HESS Guidance Counselor 7 MARTA When I came to the United States, leaving my family and my friends in Argentina, I thought that it would be hard for me to adapt to the American way of living. But the understanding of my new family and the friendly companionship that I found at school helped to put me at ease in my new surroundings. I thought at the beginning of my stay here that I would never be able to understand the people because it seemed they spoke so fast. But as the days passed, this trouble disappeared little by little. Now that I can understand the language, it is easier for me to accomplish one of my most important aims for this program; getting to know the people and the country, their habits and its style, and letting them know Argentina through me. 9 AAR.

STUDENT COUNCIL From Freshman initiation Week through the election of officers for the 1964-1965 school year, this year's Student Council has proved to be one of the most active in our school's history. The Snow Ball, Clean-Up Week, and Suggestion Box were successfully introduced to promote greater school participation and enjoyment. Forgetful students were supplied with such items as pencils, assorted review books and gym equipment through the Book Store. The council sponsored numerous assemblies this year. Two of the most-remembered are the Shakespearean and Christmas Assemblies. It was at the Christmas Assembly that Mr. Earl French, a former New Milford High School English teacher, was invited to read A Child's Christmas in Wales. The Scholarship Fund, initiated by last year's council, was continued. Plans to raise funds included a Senior vs. Underclassman Basketball Game. ROW 1: Miss Keeler, Advisor; A.

The members of the Honor Society are chosen on the basis of scholarship, leadership, character, and service. With its enlarged membership, the society is also increasing in activity. Many suggestions have been put forward, including the possible establishment of an Honor Society scholarship, and a tutoring service for students who need or would like extra help. On January 31, the society sponsored the annual Alumni Tea. New Milford High School alumni were invited to a social hour which was preceded by a panel discussion, a new addition this year. The alumni panelists discussed various aspects of adjusting to college life. Members of the sophomore, junior, and senior college preparatory classes were invited to this assembly which was moderated by the guidance director, Mr. Newman. ---— ROW 1: R.

NUTMEG 020 CLUB The library club, Nutmeg 020, is part of a state wide group of student high school library helpers. Nutmeg, of course, is the nickname for Connecticut, and 020 is the Dewey Decimal classification number for library science. Thus the seemingly hieroglyphic name stands for the Connecticut library club. Each club member has about the same duties to do. He files, stamps, and checks books out, and files all the cards for reference. The club members hope to attend a workshop for library assistants of the area at New Haven in April. kL. — ROW 1: E.

PHYSICS CLUB The Physics Club, brganized this year, is for those students interested in the practical applications of physics to everyday life. At the meetings the members experimented with some of the apparatus, such as the ripple tank and Van de Graffe generator and worked with pressure experiments, among others. It is hoped that exposure to methods used by physicists will stimulate continuing interest and arouse a desire to pursue the study of physics. SEATED: L. Munson, Secretary-Treasurer; F.

Shakespeare could have had the Chemistry Club in mind when he penned this. The club was initiated for students with scientific interests, and enables them to use the school's laboratory facilities. Starting the year, by making soap, the experiments quickly progressed to many advanced studies. Members have a bulletin board on which news articles and science scholarship announcements are posted. They also plan displays for the showcase in the science wing. The club, which is a member of the Science Clubs of America, produced a science show in the spring. ROW 1: Mr. Pelletier, Advisor; A.

BIOLOGY CLUB Making use of the fine equipment in the Science Department, New Milford High's Biology Club has been able to conduct many informative and interesting meetings in the area of the biological sciences. This year New Milford High biology teachers Mr. Pelletier and Mr. Daglio have done several dissections on cat and frog specimens for the club. The projects of the club include class procedures, but continue into areas of student interest not covered in classes. Members have given oral reports on biological subjects of special interest to them, such as the human brain, anatomy, teeth, and whales. The club has seen various films on topics of current interest, and reports on these topics have been given along with the films. The club itself has purchased several of the films for future use. One of the most popular projects is the raising and study of a hamster for club and class observation. A. Nowotka; G. Berry; R. Ricozzi; W. Horton; B. Meddaugh; B. West; D. Williams; T. Barrick; D.

METEOROLOGY CLUB After due deliberation, it was brought to public attention that acurate weather reports were a necessity. Out of this feeling the Meteorology Club was born. The club takes readings of cloud types, pressure, temperature, wind speed and direction, and humidity. The members then use these readings to make weather forecasts which are read in the daily bulletins. It is hoped that in the near future the Meteorology Club will become affiliated with the Forest Fire Rangers and the United States Weather Bureau. K. Kjep; M. Neufeld; Mr. McPherson, Advisor; J.

DRAFTING CLUB The Drafting Club, newly formed this year, consists of students from Drafting Classes I, II, and III who have a special interest in Drafting. The purpose of the club is to let boys and girls work on individual projects which appeal to them. They also serve the school by making posters and by working on other assigned school projects. The members gain valuable experience from field trips and actual work during meetings in the areas of architectural and product design, drawing, printing, and inking. ROW 1: T.

Monthly meetings held at members' homes featured speakers and slides of South American countries. These speakers included included high school students from Argentina, Mexico, and Colombia. These girls, Marta Laurrieu-Let, our A.F.S. student, and Lupita Bueno and Susanna Grotte, guests of Mrs. Castillo, attended school here, bringing with them the customs of their countries. A banquet was held in February for the Senior members of the club. For most, it was the first time they tasted South American foods.

FRENCH SINGERS On Friday afternoons, many students passing the music room have heard strains of gay, but unfamiliar, songs. The French Singers are again in practice. They have become one of the best known, and most active, organizations in New Milford High. The girls, with the able guidance of Miss Weaver, have entertained at the Christmas assembly and the annual Talent Show in their colorful French peasant costumes, which they made themselves.

Because of limited time, the Club has been able to produce only one play for the school this year; this was given at the Christmas Assembly. At the semi-monthly meetings the members have heard speakers who helped to broaden their knowledge of the basic fundamentals of play production. Also at the meetings the members have tried method acting—the type where a situation is explained and the actors must talk spontaneously to carry out the plot. Members had the dance to put their newly acquired knowledge to use as they helped the seniors put on their class play. ROW 1: K. Washburn; S. Waldron; J. Rylander; T. Ostrander; S. Call; C. Gereg; J.

CHORAL SPEAKING This year, the Choral Speaking Club, under the direction of Mrs. Holt, was reinstated in New Milford High School. The members have enjoyed reading many poems aloud. King Juke by Kenneth Fearing, and O, What Is That Sound? by W. H. Auden have been favorites because these poems lend themselves to the use of much expression and action in their reading. The members have heard and laughed at their own voices on the tape recorder at the meetings. With a shortage of male voices, the Choral Speaking Club has worked under a great handicap. However, the members have had experience in the choral speaking that is so often used in the Graduation programs, and if it is again used in the program for 1964, they will be able to lead their class. ■ ROW 1: A.

The members of the club are boys who have earned their school letter after participating in a varsity sport. Among other activities the boys prepare facilities prior to athletic events, act as ticket takers at ball games, and serve as scorers at intramurals. The club, under the direction of Mr. Joseph Wiser, should continue to grow and provide service to New Milford High School. ROW Is Cheerleaders: S. Wodjenski; L. Root; H. Schaltegger; S. Kovacs; K.

Chaperoned by interested faculty members, the buses carried spirited basketball fans to away games. Keeping themselves in full voice by chorusing through the school song and numerous cheers, many students arrived at the game voiceless, but none the less enthusiastic. ROW 1: B. Zaloski; F.

Only qualified members of the club are permitted to show movies or use the lighting facilities and amplifying equipment in the auditorium. Each new member must pass a demonstration test before he is recognized as a qualified operator and is given a membership card. This test includes setting up, operating, and breaking down every piece of machinery he will be certified to operate. The Projectionist Club remains one of the most beneficial of the high school clubs. AMERICA ROW 1: R. Ziolkowski, Parliamentarian; L. Root, Treasurer; K.

FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA For many years students at New Milford High have been able to explore teaching as a career through the Future Teachers of America organization. The purpose of this club is, as stated in the constitution: To cultivate in ourselves the high qualities of personality, character and leadership which are essential in good teachers. This goal is achieved through practice teaching, guest speakers and the annual tea. The tea is an important event which enables the members to ask teachers any questions they might have concerning teaching. This year the Future Teachers added two new officers to the club. They were the historian who keeps a scrapbook of all club events, and the parliamentarian who explains parliamentary procedure. ROW 1: E. Anderson; D. Page; N. Ridolfi; J. Kuenzle, Treasurer; L.

FUTURE NURSES CLUB The Future Nurses Club of New Milford High School, whose membership is open to junior and senior girls, was organized to help prospective nurses gain deeper understanding of their future career. To this end, the club took a trip to the Grace-New Haven Hospital School of Nursing for an open house in November. The girls toured the hospital and talked with the student nurses concerning their experiences at the School. The club promoted health careers by arranging information on the guidance bulletin board in October. Last year the club became a member of the national organization of Future Nurses Clubs, and this year it drew up its constitution. In the Spring, the club held a penny sale and worked with the future Teachers in putting on a fashion show. This year, for the first time, the club is offering a scholarship to one of its senior members. ROW 1: J. Erickson; R. Morris; R. Colburn; T. Hill; M. Jarek; R. lignor. ROW 2: P.

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA Hundreds of careers in Agribusiness are open to interested, trained personnel, including farm management and labor, sales, research, and education; thousands of these positions are now open, waiting for the boys to fill them. These boys are now being introduced to and instructed in the techniques of agriculture through the Vocational Agriculture programs and the Future Farmers of America organization in high schools. Through shopwork, field trips and tours the members of the New Milford Chapter of the Future Farmers prepare themselves for a career in the ever important, and increasingly vital field of agriculture. Vocational agriculture and the Future Farmers programs inspire, encourage, and build confidence within the young people who are preparing for a happy, successful career in Agribusiness.

CMOSS COUNTRY The new Milford High School Cross Country team, under the able leadership of coach Emile Daglio, once again ran up another perfect season. Although plagued by injuries throughout the fall, the team showed tremendous depth by defeating all their opponents. Besides winning both the Varsity and J.V. races in the league meet, the team also brought home a double victory from the Woodbury Invitational. Even though the team will be losing Co-captains Bill Mitchell and Ed Murphy along with Glen Smith and John Bellion, the team should once again enjoy another fine season next year. 100 CENTER: J.

CHEERLEADING This year's new Milford High cheerleading squad, coached by Miss Nancy Vago, consisted of three sophomores, five juniors, four seniors, and a senior manager. Two of the twelve girls were substitutes. The first pep rally, which was held in the school auditorium before the Alumni Game, spurred the varsity on to victory. Various comedy skits put on by the cheerleaders were followed by the annual presentation of roses to the varsity men wishing them good luck in the coming basketball season. New cheers, enthusiastically led by Captain Judy Kuenzle, and new uniforms helped to make this year's squad a very successful one. ROW 1: L. Knaggs; B. Bierbower; A. Cummings; C. Chapin, Captain; J.

VARSITY BASKETBALL This year's varsity Basketball team compiled a 7-12 record. The boys played well despite the fact that the team lost four of its starting five from the previous season. The team started off the season in fine shape by beating the potent alumni and during the entire season provided the fans with many thrilling games, and at one time during the season lost four games by a total of only 1 2 points. The team will be losing six of the top seven men due to graduation. Next year they will surely miss the scrapiness of Peagler and Roberson, the rebounding of Carter and Knaggs, the scoring of Chapin, and the bench strength provided by Zaloski. Ed Murphy, manager, will also be graduating. ]. V. BASKETBALL The J.V. team progressed steadily throughout the entire season picking up valuable experience with every game. The team was made up of a majority of young freshmen and sophomores. Three of the boys, Doug Picotte, Rich Planz, and Bobby Zaloski also gathered some Varsity experience. In a few years these boys should jell into a fine team, and some of the boys should prove to be excellent varsity players. ROW 1: J. Quammie; B. Zaloski; R. Carlson; R. Planz; W. Webster; D.

The forward line, aided by foreign exchange student Marta Larrieu-Let, provided the scoring punch, while the backfield played fine defensive games. The promising J.V. team won one of its three games. Among its moments to remember are the team's first win when Mrs. Zaloski was thrown in the shower, and the party the varsity girls gave in honor of the coach, managers, and team.

The 1 2 varsity girls, captained by Carla Marohn, showed improvement and spirit as they compiled a record of 3 wins and 4 losses. The three high scorers were Carol Hallock, Candy Duncan, and Betty Carter. The J.V. team won 2 games and lost 5. Both teams were coached by Mrs. Zaloski and managed by Carol Relyea and Eva Colburn. With all of the varsity and the entire J.V. team returning next year, hopes for a successful season run high. JUNIOR VARSITY ROW 1: N. Seligmann; J. Neu-feld; P. MacDougall; P. Lath-rop; B. litis; L.

As I look back over these past months, many happy memories come to my mind. One of the most pleasant of them is the surprize of the Christmas gift from the students. I am also very grateful for the compliment of being made an honorary member of the Student Council. The warm spirit that I found as I took part in school activities encouraged me to participate with enthusiasm in them. It was very enjoyable to be a member of the Spanish Club and the Field Hockey team, as well as to work in the Talent Show and the Senior Play because of the friendships I made. I would like to thank each one of you for welcoming me here, and helping to make my stay here most unforgettable. 107 BOOSTERS Mr. and Mrs. Alex Adams Charles and Thelma Aldrich Mr. Charles Allen Mrs. George H.

GIRLS’ SOFTBALL The girls at New Milford High School again showed their sports-mind-edness as approximately twenty-two students turned out for the newly established softball team. The team, composed of many underclassmen, was coached by Miss Weaver and Miss Stinneford. The girls played four games, all at home, and though losing all, continually showed spirit and improvement. Because of the loss of only three senior players, Marta Larrieu-Let, Liz Pokrywka, and Sabra Burdick, the returning girls should mold into a much improved team. 113 ROW 1: P. Henderson; T. Conn; W.

INDOOR TRACK This year Coach Devin enjoyed one of the largest turnouts for indoor track ever. Underclassmen formed much of the squad, giving the coach material for the coming seasons, while the solid core of experienced seniors retained from previous years' teams provided the scoring punch. Indoor Track, which serves mostly as training for the outdoor track season that immediately follows it, has only one major competition event, the state Class B meet, held this year at Storrs. This year's squad placed eighth out of eighteen teams, scoring a total of eight and one-half points. The team was led by Jim Carter who broke two school records and tied a third. Jim placed second in the high jump and fourth in the broad jump. Glen Smith tied for fourth place in the 60 yard high hurdles, and Bill Mitchell placed fifth in the 1000 yard run, also breaking a record. Bob Green, while placing fifth, broke a fourteen-year old school record in the shot-put. 114 ROW 1: F. Smith; G. Foster; E. Murphy; L. Shulman; J. Carter; B. Mitchell; G. Smith; D. Ferriss; D.

OUTDOOR TRACK This year's Outdoor Track Team posted a 9-1 record, losing to Sacred Heart of Waterbury by only four points. The team also went on to win the W.C.C. Championship, the W.C.C. Relays and placed fifth in the Class B State Meet. The team was paced by seniors Jim Carter, Bill Mitchell, Glen Smith and Bob Green, and juniors Doug Goodwin, and Dave Ferriss. This was a team that broke 13 school records, 4 league records, and 1 state record. The team also set a record for most wins in a season. 115 ROW 1: B. Pitcher; T. Zaloski; J. Bellion; B.

VARSITY BASEBALL Hampered by the loss of senior Rich Peagler's pitching, due to an injury incurred early in the season, this year's baseball team managed to chalk an 8-6 record. Coach Joe Wiser, who every season manages to produce a top-notch ball club, had to rely on the pitching of Bernie Rosato and the batting of Charlie Chapin. The team was also helped a great deal by Dick Went, a sophomore pitcher who had a 3-0 record. Next year's team will miss seniors Richie Peagler, Charlie Chapin, Frank DeForest, and John Bellion. 116 ROW 1: Mr. Hayes, Assistant; R. Ricozzi; D. Turro; B. Meddaugh; Mr. Clonaris, Coach. ROW 2: R.

BASEBALL This year's Junior Varsity Baseball team compiled an even .500 average by winning three of its games and losing the same number. The team, coached by Mr. Clonaris who was assisted by Mr. Hayes, consisted mostly of freshmen and sophomores. The team was led by the pitching of captain Bob Young and the hitting of Ronnie Turro and Tim Roberts. All the boys, getting valuable experience through the J.V. team, will undoubtedly prove to be valuable assets to future Varsity teams. 117 SCHOLASTIC BANQUET Dr. Harold Healy, Principal of Ridgefield High School, main speaker. On May 13, 1964, the annual Scholastic Banquet was held at the high school. Parents and teachers, as well as the students, were invited to a dinner preceding the ceremonies. Certificates of merit for scholastic excellence were awarded to approximately seventy students by Miss Barbara Weaver, chairman of the Banquet. The New Milford Chapter of the National Honor Society, under the direction of Miss Caroline Keeler, inducted eight new members, four juniors and four sophomores, at the candlelight ceremony following speeches by five of its members. Dr. Harold Healy, principal of Ridgefield High School, was the main speaker of the evening.

Much credit goes to the faculty and students for their co-operation in producing the play for the public. Special credit and praise belongs to Anne Monaghan who, as play chairman, spent many frantic hours trying to co-ordinate the efforts of production. The Senior Play, Room for One More, a two-act comedy by William Davidson, was presented under the direction of Mr. Robert Asman on May 8 and 9 in the high school auditorium. Roses were given (from the class) to each cast member and to the play chairman. The cast worked well together and there were many memorable rehearsals spiced with fire drills with the fog horn, and snacks with Mother's chocolate cake. A streak of ham was discovered in each cast member, and they enjoyed presenting Room for One More as much as the audience enjoyed seeing it. w w w SENIOR BANQUET The Senior Banquet was held on July ninth at the Yankee Drover Inn in Newtown. After the roast beef dinner, Master of Ceremonies Bill Mitchell and Richie Peagler, president of the class, presented humorous gifts to the individual students. In addition, a gift from the class was presented to Marta. Special gifts expressing the class' appreciation were given to the advisors, Mrs. Pease and Mr. Tripp, and to Mrs. Holt. Also, the dedication and presentation of the yearbook was made by the editors. The Senior Class Night was presented on Friday, May 29, 1964, in the auditorium. Sabra Burdick and Bill Mitchell were Mistress and Master of Ceremonies. The theme of the program was Reflections, and as the Emcees traced the course of the high school career of the Class of 1964, various acts from the past, present, and prophesied future emphasized the recollections and provided entertainment. Sandy Wodjenski and Richie Peagler presented humorous gifts from the class to the faculty. The evening closed on a more serious note as the class in unison sang a farewell musical arrangement entitled New Milford High. 127 ''The M.T.A. The Six Pack You Can't Get A Man With A Gun!

THE LAST TIME On June 14 the Class of 1964 was completely united for the last time in a common effort: graduation. For four years the members of the class walked the same path under the tutelage of the educators in New Milford High School. Now the path divides and each member must go a separate way; each must act as an individual. New Milford High is our springboard, the starting point, the base of our move into whatever lies ahead, for before one can leap there must be something to stand on. Each of us has been provided with this base of education. The educators in the school have given us the tools with which to progress so that we may build a better tomorrow. Whether we build a bridge to the new worlds of our dreams or a confining wall is now our prerogative. ?cUfOyi 'PuMiAttK? DALLAS, TEXAS •V
