NEWINGTON CONNECTICUT Dedication For giving freely of yourself both in academic and in extracurricular activities; For inspiring and assisting us towards our every goal; For being fair in all respects; We, the Class of 1960, dedicate this, our Yearbook, to you. Miss Monica A. Hopper. Superintendent’s Message The Sequin has always impressed me as being an excellent student production. Much resourceful, ingenious, persistent effort goes into each issue to make it a live, interesting, attractive book which retains its fascination for students and their friends for years to come. I know that the 1960 issue will be no exception. I want to express my appreciation and best wishes to all who are involved in its production. 5 PrincipaVs Message With the arrival of a new decade, someone always seems to originate a title which gains popular acceptance as the best description of the ten-year period. The economic prospects for the future seem so promising that some are already calling this decade the “Golden Years.” It is my hope that each member of your group, the first graduating class of the 1960’s, finds these years to be golden in health, in moral and spiritual values, and in purposeful attainment. 6 MR.

Basketball Under the fine leadership of Coach Marty Reisner, the Indians have lived up to their expectations of becoming the leaders in a tough Valley “B” league. The Indians are surprisingly well-balanced. Captain Bruce Goodrich has shown great leadership on the court, backed by the height and weight of Jim Garro and Mike Kopec. The ball-handling and spirit put forth by “Goose” Gayson and Charlie Adamick have polished off a well-balanced team. Rick Borkowski has added greatly to complete a winning squad.

Meetings are usually held the second and fourth Monday of each month under the supervision of Miss Bemis, faculty adviser.

This year G.A.A. is looking forward to the opening of the new swimming pool as a facility which will add to their recreational program. Each year G.A.A. gives a scholarship to a deserving senior girl who plans to further her education in either field of physical education or education. ADVISER . . .

Each year the council issues AA tickets which enable the students to attend away games at a reduced rate and home games free of charge. Another project of the council is to sponsor a sports dinner in the spring. The council is composed of fifteen members—four seniors, four juniors, and three sophomores. When a person is elected to the Athletic Council, he may retain his membership for the remainder of his high school years if he so desires. Each year the new members are elected by those who are on the council at that time. Since the members are most active during the basketball season, they hold meetings only when problems arise which must be settled by the group. OFFICERS Business Manager —......................

Holding cake sales to earn money for a scholarship to be given to one of the members interested in the field of home economics, making toys for orphanages, and sponsoring dances to raise money to cover the expenses of the club have brought an enthusiastic response from the members. Under the guidance of Mrs. Phillips, the entire club meets on the third Wednesday of each month. Various committee meetings are called when necessary.

Spotlight on the Future Unleash imagination’s gallant steed, And, mounting, ride away, forgetting heed. If fancies to take shape you will allow. You’ll see things happen ten long years from now. So spur your steed, and closely following me, The Class of 1960 you will see. We were in the Big City the other day. Walking the streets of mighty Broadway. We saw a sign reading “Trespassers Can’t Enter Borkowski and Kopec’s Kilbassa Plant.” They show us around a mighty nice place, From a distance we spot a familiar face. Our friend and classmate Sheila Rondeau. A kilbassa taster by trade, you know. A few doors down we view an artist’s show With masterpieces by D’Ambrosio. Another artist viewed at this time, Pat Thibodeau’s works are, in truth, sublime. The following will interest the public no doubt. Flo Hathaway’s “Tarzan” movie is out. There’s a real cool scene wherein Bill Jameson dressed in a tiger skin Saves Karen Knaus who’s in much distress. (Jeanne Pruett, the critic, says it’s a success! Sharon Becker who plays in Carnegie Hall Will meet w'ith Governor Northrop next fall. A big crowd is expected to be on hand: Added attraction is Genthner’s Swing Band. We learn that the stock exchange is topsy turvy. Bud Ayer’s buying has been rather nervy. The stock went down and gave us all a scare. Result? Ed Moore’s turned out a millionaire. Kordon and Jorgensen are financiers, They’ve gone through many very lean years. Some say their buying has been unfair But they are content, and they don’t care. Down at the Garden we view a match Between Codner’s Celtics and Hannon’s Cool Cats. The Celtics are leading with a minute to go When Gayson’s freeze steals the show. Radio City is our next stop, We decide that we’ll look over the crop. Horne and Sellitto are in the Rockettes, Their dancing skill we will not forget. Appearing there on the very same bill The voice of Sue Anderson gives us a thrill. 155 Spotlight on the Future The beat of a bongo is very clear. Our curiosity brings us near To a nightclub with tables, none to spare, Nick Meucci’s music filling the air. Noticing someone at the open door, We regard an old face. Wait! Here come more; Why it’s Barb Bell, once cheerleading captain, Next comes Jim Adamson, the F.B.l. man. Here comes Miss Anderson, Ellen by name For writing stories she has earned much fame. Before leaving we see the show stolen By Dave Witter who’s Rockin’ and Rollin’. Leaving the nightclub, we happen to meet Officer Lillis walking the street. Very tired and ready to drop, Our decision is—another stop. Now up before us looming stately Is the new Cowles Hospital, built lately. While we are walking down the quiet hall. For nurse Elaine Stuhlman there comes a call. As we go along, looking all around, In the X-Ray room Tim Sullivan is found. Busy at work Patsy Serbin we see, Helping the patients in their misery. Of our next destination we are not sure. But countries in Europe we hope to tour. Linguist Paullin to speak we did hire; Just like Pat Gavitt she would not tire. As we climb aboard one of Balducci’s jets By stewardess Goodman we are met. Pilot David Brinck the doors he does seal, And then Bev Anderson serves us our meal. Glancing around, a sailor we see; He resembles Norm Lindroth, could he be? There is Sheila Mosson, a movie star. And millionaire Klett smoking his cigar. The plane begins to descend from the air. Expectation grows within—we are there! We land in England and to our surprise See King Ihloff’s Castle before our eyes. Marty McClure on her traveling spree Meets Peggy Marks having a spot of tea. Peg is en route to France to visit her twin, We’d like to go too; so, let us join in. We go with our old friends to the French school Where Lynn is teaching the Golden Rule. 156 Spotlight on the Future We peer through a window and o’er the ridge And there teaching English is Judy Bridge. On the next floor is Miss Busch’s first grade. Where Principal Adamick gives his aid. Anne Alexander, a math instructor. Teaches the children to add four and four. Advising a class in a cooking skill, Is home-economist, Judy Hill. Miss Huck is lecturing a course elective; In the next room Char Grant teache;s perspective. Instructing Latin, Miss Morgan sings and hums, As she teaches the class “Pax Vobiscum.” The men’s guidance director, Larry Hull, Advises the bright and even the dull. In the office, nurse Gutowski helps the ill, While Secretary Stockman writes the bill. On leaving the school we pass through a throng, And there we spy world traveler, Richard Wong. The next ones we see are engineer Urban And sheik Bruce Goodrich in his turban. Businessmen D’Aquila and Bill Budarz Speak to Goodwin and Cook, the movie stars. We visit Grand Prix, where out on the track, Zak Rose thinks he has the prize in the sack. But here comes Reinhardt, he’s a sure bet. Rounding the curve in his new Corvette. We stop for a moment to say “Hello” To Verne Britt who’s employed by UNESCO. Happy and enjoying each day’s coming, Miss Marshall, social worker, is humming. While strolling in Klopp’s Library at Mont Marte The sight of a book gives us a start. Its title “Dear Judy” opens our mind, Of novelist Birnbaum it does remind. The end of our trip is now drawing near. Our wish is to see the U. S. so dear. We travel the ocean and cross the sea. Till our eyes fall upon Miss Liberty. Now, whoa! Imagination’s sleek proud horse, Far have you galloped from the beaten course. Of thought that is both probable and true, Perhaps someday this prophecy you’ll rue. When plunging forth, untamed, strong, and free. The Class of 1960 you did see. 157 JEAN mmz___ SHEILA VERNE 1 MICKY WINNIE PENNY PAT NANCY SUSAN SAIL MARION BRUCE PAULA CHAS NADINE JOAN BARB NANCY SHARON PAT MICKY SUE BONNIE HOIK DIANA RICHIE Alphabet of 1960 A is for Anderson, a famous brand; Adamick and Alexander are always on hand. Bill and Bob stand for B; Betty and Barbara you’ll also see. Then there are Cowles, Codner, Clark, Carol, and Char, who sings like a lark. Diane and Dave claim the D, And D’Ambrosio, a major in artistry. To represent E are Eric and Eddie; Then there’s Elaine, who’s never ready. For F we have Frank, Floyd, and Fred, But forget not Florie, who’s always ahead. Goodman, Goodrich, G’s galore; Gavitt, Gayson, and many more. Huck and Hull, a brilliant pair; Hannon and Horne add spice to the air. I’s we have one, and he’s the best; Ihloff’s his name, if you haven’t guessed. There are Judys, Joans, and Jeans around, But also Jims and Johns to be found. Kircheis, Karen, and Kenny presented, But there’s also Klopp, who many a class has augmented. There aren’t many L’s that’s for sure. But Lozis and Linda are the cure. The Marks are an asset to any team; There are Marilyn, and Mosson, our “Granny” supreme. Naprstek, Nesta, Nancy for N; Neumann, Northrop, and Norman chip in. 0 is for others that we have omitted, Who would have been in if space had permitted. Paullin and Puskas start with P, Parsons, Pat, and Perschy. Q is for the quota of our magazine drive; To be so successful we really did strive. R is for Rich, Rheinhart, and Rose, Also for Ramsdorf, whom everyone knows. Stockman and Sheila, Smith and Steve, And Sharon, whom we all hate to leave. Tim and Todd join with the T, Thobodeau, Tormay, Tyburski. U stands alone, Urban’s the name; To our great class he helped add fame. Not too many names start with V, But Verne and Vernacatola are as great as can he. Walsh, West, and Wassil, a really great three, But without Wong we just can’t be. X we have none, as you can see, But it belongs in the alphabet as A, B, or C. We have a Y, as you can guess; It’s our own Yvonne, one of the best. Zdanis and Zigmund are our last. But with them we will always remember the past. 159 SPO TLIGHT ON THE PAST 103 (08 107 i oe n 120 I 16 100 105 I 09 I IO Spotlight on the Past 1. C. Adamick 2. R. Ralducci 3. S. King 4. J. Meucci 5.
