If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind.” In Dedication Dear Mr. Flynn, Three years ago we entered Newington High School as three-hundred separate, thoroughly scared individuals. Now, under your understanding and sincere guidance, we have each become an integral part of a whole, the class of 1968. You have given selflessly of your time as Student Council advisor and have worked ceaselessly, with us, toward the betterment of our school. Since 1937 you have served youth as they passed their way to the future. This year you were honored as the second man in Connecticut to receive the Distinguished School Counselor Award—an award for “outstanding accomplishment in helping thousands of high school age boys and girls over a generation’s span.” We, of the senior class would also like to show our deepest gratitude as we dedicate this, our yearbook, to a very great man. With sincerest thanks, The Class of ’68 22 In Appreciation The Class of 1968 would like to extend its deepest appreciation to Mr. Raymond Dougherty. As a senior advisor and senior math teacher, he has influenced the lives of every member of our class. His dedication and guidance to our activities has made them treasured memories. To a trusted friend and sincere counselor, we give our thanks. The Class of 1968 also wishes to express its most sincere appreciation to Mr. William G. Hall, a junior English teacher. Though new to Newington High School, Mr. Hall has been not only a teacher of facts, but also a potent force in the ever-changing trials and tribulations of high school life. His truly dedicated interest, sincere and rewarding friendship, and valuable counsel will long remain close to the lives and spirits of each member of the Class of ’68. We thank you, Mr. Hall. 23 24 25 TIME—September, 1965 PLACE—Newington High School!! CHARACTERS—Faculty and assorted members of the class of 1968 Act I Scene I As our story opens the class of 1968 has been formed and is about to perform its first official act, the electing of responsible sophomore officers. Chosen to serve the class of ’68 are Mike Moser—President; Rodney Mortenson—Vice President; Sharon Fitzpatric—Secretary; Debbie Wolfinger—Treasurer; and Lynn Shieber—Social Chairman. Our officers represented the class of ’68 well, either as elected leaders or well-respected members throughout our high school years. The traditional Sophomore Hop is Scene II in our play. Our first social event as a class was held in October and planned by the students with the help of our faculty advisors. During our sophomore year we were fortunate to have Gracie Moyano, of Buenos Aires, Argentina as an AFS student. Gracie was adopted by the Johnson family and added much spirit to her own class as well as the entire student body. 26 The final scene of Act I at N.H.S. was our gay trip to Ocean Beach. How can anyone forget the waterfights, the pyramids, and the sunburns? ... You can??? 27 Act II Scene I The plot thickens as we ascend the ladder of education and become Juniors. Again class elections are held and the victors are Mike Moser—President; Bruce Shick— Vice-President; Sharon Fitzpatrick—Secretary; Carl Sycz—Treasurer; and Lynn Shieber—Social Chairman. Cute and petite Teddy Oliveros from the Philippines spent the year of 1966-67 in Newington as our AFS student. Teddy became an adopted member of our class and a special friend to many of us. The Student Council sponsored the first Charles A. Bowles Scholarship dance in the fall. 28 Perhaps the most important scene of our Junior year was the Junior Prom on the evening of May 19. Many hours of vork were devoted to transforming the gym into a “Rhapsody in Blue,” hut the most unforgettable part of the evening was the band. After a last minute cancellation and technical difficulties, we danced to the music of A1 Jarvis. Mike Moser was elected King and Sharon Fitzpatrick reigned as his Queen. 29 30 Act III Scene I Magazine Drive. . . As always, the first project in our senior year was the election of officers. Elected were Bruce Shick—President; Rodney Mortenson—Vice President; Jean Johnson—Secretary; Carl Sycz—Treasurer; and Lynn Shieber—Social Chairman. Due to double sessions many students work and there are fewer class-sponsored activities; however, we did have the annual magazine drive and a blazing pep rally. Row 1: D. Francolino, S. Lynch, S.

Sullivan, F. Ciarcia, P. Clark, R. Newberth, R. Rcmillard. Social events included the Cheerleaders’ dance, Charles A. Bowes Scholarship dance and the Autumn Fantasy. Much time and enthusiasm has been devoted to the class of 68, on the sports’ field, at club meetings, and in the classroom. Final events include an exciting basketball season, Sadie Hawkins Dance and Senior Banquet. Tbe Senior Prom and Graduation are yet to come so our play reaches a climax as the characters approach the conclusion of three memorable years at N.H.S.l Senior Guidance During our three years at N.H.S. answers to questions or solutions to problems were readily obtained from Miss Landers and Mr. Flynn. Through their helpful advice we were all able to decide our plans for the future. Our thanks is due to them for their assistance and aid in our daily lives. DAR Recipient Every year the Daughters of the American Revolution choose one outstanding senior girl to receive the D.A.R. citizenship award. This year, Sharon Fitzpatrick was chosen based on her qualities of dependability, leadership, patriotism, and scholarship. Sharon is active as captain of the varsity cheerleaders, treasurer of G.A.A., a member of the Sequin Art Staff, and also National Honor Society. She has also been active in the Drama Club and was the secretary of our class in the sophomore and junior years. Sharon represented the class last summer when she attended Laurel Girl’s State at the University of Connecticut.

JEFFREY A. VAUGHAN For what is life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. The 1968 Sequin recounts many happy occasions and brings back many fond memories. Unfortunately, there were sad moments also. We cannot forget the death of Jeff Vaughan a few days before the start of our sophomore year. Jeff enjoyed life to the fullest. He participated in sports, including soccer and basketball. He was the vice-president of the Martin Kellogg Student Council. Most outstanding was Jeff’s ability to appreciate each moment for its seriousness, and to profit from both.

The basis of G.A.A. is the Executive Board which is made up of juniors and seniors, headed by four elected officers and an advisor. The board meets regularly and plans the events for the year. The most important event sponsored by G.A.A. is a dance to raise scholarship funds. Another special and well-remembered event is the annual Farewell Campfire held at the close of the year. At the time new officers are installed, letter awards are presented, and outgoing seniors are honored.

Student Council 142 The Student Council of Newington High School is the organization through which the students are able to express their opinions and bring their concerns and ideas to the attention of the faculty and administration. The council has no direct governing power, but its influence is felt through the student suggestions. The council consists of one representative and one alternate from each homeroom who are elected by ballot at the beginning of each year. The four Student Council officers are elected in the Spring of the previous school year usually amid hard campaigning and much competition. Mr. Flynn, Council advisor, due to his many other time consuming student services, has passed the advisorship to Miss King. The Council meets every Tuesday at which time representatives, alternates, and any interested students are present. The Council’s work is accomplished through various committees which meet separately and present their progress and decisions at Tuesday meetings. Striving to serve the students that it represents the Council renders many services. Student Council elections and class elections are undertaken by the Council. The club sponsors the sale of AA tickets and arranges bus transportation to away athletic events. The Council also takes charge of Dress-Up Day and arranges three annual assembly programs. Because of its size the council must continually look for projects in order to give every member his chance for leadership, organization, and responsibility. The Council originated and operates the school store and runs a concession stand at football games. It aids and supports the A.F.S. program, as well as undertaking its own money making affairs such as the Autumn Fantasy Dance and the Post office. Through the Council, each teacher receives a card and small token of appreciation on his or her birthday on behalf of the student body. The Council has also been active in areas outside school affairs and in general at the service of the town as well as the Department of Schools. Something in the possibility stage is the Peace Corp Program to build a school in an underdeveloped country. The Council is affiliated with the Connecticut Federation of Student Councils and the National Association of Student Councils. Through participation in the Student Council its members and officers develop strong and important qualities, and the whole student body is therefore motivated in becoming a more active and better American citizenry.

The club has been working for incorporation as a chapter of the National Organization of Future Teachers of America. Under the supervision of faculty advisors, Mrs. Jeanne Dursi and Miss Susan Racow, the organization has planned a full schedule of activities which will include: a visit to an education class in a nearby college; tutoring and assisting classroom teachers in New Meadow School; compiling an education library of college catalogues, magazine articles and pamphlets; and conducting survey of Newington High School teachers regarding teacher training. These activities help members busy and prepare them as future teachers. President: Donna Wescott Vice-President: Janet Cunningham Secretary: Jeanette Canestrino Treasurer: Paula Bonazinca Row 1: D.

The club raises funds for its annual Art Scholarship by making posters for activities both in and out of school. The Scholarship is given to a deserving art student planning to continue his education in the field of art. 147 C. Wasyl D. Vassallo K. Vcinot B. Hansen 1. Krysiak A. Gomez C. Turner Sequin typing staff Sequin Members of Sequin must not only have a knowledge of their class, but also a deep feeling for it. This quality, along with performances of ability and teacher’s recommendations, is the basis for acceptance as a member of Sequin. After many trials and tribulations the staff finally settled down to organized work. Writeups were assigned and handed in. Sequin began to take shape. First the typing staff had to decode the writings of the literary staff. Then the pages were carefully laid out. After the literary, layout, and typing staffs began work, the business staff sold the product on the school market. The whole staff worked hard and long and eventually their goal was fulfilled. The yearbook shows forth the spirit and cooperation of the class of ’68. 8 Sequin Art and Layout Staff: Row 1: C. Patrissi, M. Swayne, S. Davidson. Miss Santacroce, P. Splaine, P. Selwyn, S.

The purpose of the club is to stimulate an interest in the French culture while using the French language in a casual atmosphere. The French Club, with the guidance of Mrs. Doris Mara, organizes the entertainment for the French Banquet each spring. French Club 154 Office Staff Mrs. Helene G. Manning, Mrs. Elizabeth Kennedy, Mrs. Helen Malloy, Mrs. Beatrice Thayer Sri -.V Mrs. Terry Mrs. Richter Mrs. Norah Seabourne Francois A.F.S This year opened to me a new world, and it was a great experience that I shall never forget. The differences I noticed were so important, that they led me to believe that I didn’t know too much about the world I was living in, in spite of the travels I had through many countries. When I first came here, I had to change the opinion of America I had conceived in a superficial way through such things as movies and books. When I don’t try anymore to see the facts from a European point of view, everything seems to me clearer and more understandable. I owe much to the people of Newington, and most of all to my family and the students I know who are so open and friendly toward me. When I shall go back to France, I will attend one and maybe two “Grandes Ecoles” which are the same as universities here. After? I hesitate to choose between being a journalist or a diplomat: the opportunities will decide. Undoubtedly, what the U.S.A. taught me will be of great service later. If someone from Europe asks me what I learned in America, I will reply, “I learned to know the American Dream.” 156 SAWADDEE—KRAB My trip to Thailand this past summer as an exchange student under the American Field Service Program was certainly not a vacation: rather a PATI-VEDHA-DHAMMA—an “awakening.” To be lifted suddenly from the main currents of my Newington life, and indeed that of the whole Western civilization, was in itself an event of “realization” rather than one of fascinating external experience. Thailand is a country of burning pride, infectious fervent religiosity, unique cultural beauty, and colorful heritage. Yet, on the other hand, in a more pressing sense, it is a land of abject poverty, illiteracy, an almost indecipherable “world outlook,” daily threatened with disease, hardship, and communist liberation activities. By the advantage of living with a Thai family in the daily acts of “giving” and “taking,” one becomes markedly aware of the numerous differences and the similarities. Yet this does not summon alarm; this does not nurture distaste. This is the vehicle for understanding. This is insurance for the promise of peace. So then, what is Thailand? What is America? FUNG CHON OAM NEUD KLAI KLUNG GAN “Born men are we ... all and one.” Mike A.F.S 157 Laurel Girls State Each year two outstanding junior girls are chosen to attend Girls’ State sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary. This year Sharon Fitzpatrick and Maureen Morrissey left a week after school closed for the campus of the University of Connecticut where it is held. Here 200 girls from all over Connecticut meet and form a fictitious state. Lectures and talks are given to instruct the girls in the background and working of government. The group is divided into two parties, the Nationalists and the Federalists, and also into four towns and a city. Town officials are elected and town meetings are conducted. A two-house legislature is elected which debates and passes laws. Great excitement rises as the rallies and conventions are held during the campaigns for state office. High points of the week are talks given by Secretary of State Ella Grasso and Governor John Dempsey. Connecticut is the only state where the Boys’ State and Girls’ State meet at the same time and same place. Highlights of the social activity are a barbecue, talent show, and the grand finale, the Inaugural Ball. 158 Nutmeg Boys State Each summer, the Connecticut American Legion sponsors a week-long program known as Nutmeg Boys’ State. The purpose of the program, which is held on the campus of the University of Connecticut, is to teach the young men who attend the operation of the state and local governments and to instill in them the qualities of good citizenship. The young men, who are chosen by the members of the faculties of their respective schools on the basis of leadership qualities, are encouraged to learn the operation of the government by setting up and running their own state and town governments for one week. This year Scott Rippey, Frank Ciarcia, Steve Quatrocelli, and Barry Wentland represented Newington High. When the boys arrive, each one is assigned to a town and one of two political parties. During the week, the boys attended lectures given by noted guest speakers on various aspects of the state and local governments. They are then given the chance to put the concepts they have learned into practice by electing officials for the various offices of their respective cities and towns. During the middle of the week, state party nominating conventions are held, and after several days of intensive campaigning, the state officials are elected. There is more to the program than a week of hard work, however, as Laurel Girls’ State is held in conjunction with Nutmeg Boys’ State on the University campus. Mixers, a talent show, a barbecue, and the Inaugural Ball provide opportunities for socializing. The whole program of Nutmeg Boys’ State, in which the young men learn the qualities of good citizenship and the meaning of brotherhood, can be summed up in one of the general themes of the program, which is “learning by doing.” 159 One season following another, Laden with happiness and tears. Bruce Rocco Soccer Seven returning varsity lettermen and many other experienced players added sophistication to the soccer team this year. Coach DiOrio, Captain Bruce Marino, and Co-captain Rocco Matarese encouraged a high-pitched team spirit in the players. The fabulous goal-tending of Jim Sinnot, in his third straight year as varsity goalie, formed the backbone for the teamwork which contributed to a highly rewarding season. The naming of Bruce Marino, Barry Wentland, and Ken Haines to the C.V.C. all conference team also added to the team’s success. The J.V. team, coached by Mr. DiOrio, proved themselves by finishing the season undefeated. These sophomores and freshmen are good prospects for a very successful season next year. 162 Row 1: B.

In the first two games the team showed their new spirit as they racked Bloomfield 12-0 and beat Plainville 22-20. The team has two capable captains in George Hart and Rick McIntosh. The backfield looks strong with Frank Ciarcia and Brenden Guttmann at Halfbacks, Stu Lackman at Quarterback and George Hart at the fullback spot. Lackman will have two dependable receivers in the likes of tight-end Scott Rippey and split-end Mark Swayne. Linemen who will lead the blocking are seniors Bill Winnie, Mark Lawrence, Jim Paskov, Rick McIntosh, and junior Bob Hanbury. The team this year is a different one. The spirit, drive, and confidence are something Newington football has lacked. The 1967 Football team has what’s been lacking. George Rick Coach Delegan 168 Row 1: R. Pfund, M. Haefs, R. Dunn, P.

There’s one I hold worth while; ’Tis he who does the best he can, Then loses with a smile.” Although the cheerleaders don’t cheer each team on to constant victory, they do admire the courteous sportsmanship and sincere efforts so often displayed by Newington High School teams. Their peppy cries and rhythmic songs that are so much a part of high school never cease through “rain, sleet, or snow.” The energetic girls are coached by Mrs. Wojtusik and practice three times a week under the experienced direction of Captain Sharon Fitzpatrick and Co-Captain Cyn Grant. Because of double sessions, the cheerleaders are organized into one varsity squad made up of Juniors and Seniors. This squad cheers for the soccer, football, cross country, field hockey, and basketball games. Through their continuous efforts, the enthusiastic cheerleaders have added greatly to the overall spirit of Newington High School students. 76 177 Maureen N; Nwdi, K. Coliins, L. Dagle, J.

Kathy Carla Nancy 179 Cross Country September 19, 1967 began a third season for Newington’s Cross Country team. The season proved to be a successful one. Credit is due to Coach Frank O’Rourke, who put forth countless hours of workouts and training to further the ability of the boys. Newington High made sports page headlines through the running of Jim Hall. Jim won the State Class L Championship at the Stanley Golf Course and then went on to Storrs to win the State Open and the Eastern Sectional Class L Championship. Having conquered the best Connecticut had to offer, our man Jim went on to win the New England Championship at Colby College in Maine. Very few Cross Country teams can boast of such a runner. Congratulations are due to Jim Hall and the entire Cross Country team for giving Newington High an exciting season. The final record for the team was seven wins and five losses. 180 Track Row 1: F.

Co-captains, Jimmy Hall, New England Cross Country Champion, and Dennis Flynn will lead the team this year. Other outstanding seniors are Dennis Powers, running the quarter mile and half mile; Jim Paskov and Scott Rippey, shot putters; and Bill Winnie and Willie Marshall, weight-men. With the help of returning Junior lettermen. Coach O’Rourke expects the team will be a strong contender for the C.V.C. Title. Dennis John 186 Dennis Bill Girls’ Basketball Row 1: L. Taylor, C.

One of the many Girls’ Athletic Association sponsored activities is the Girl’s Basketball Team. Membership is open to any G.A.A. member of either the morning or afternoon session. Under the cooperative coaching of Mrs. Wotjuski and Miss Eckersley, the girls have been able to practice during the free periods of these two physical education instructors. Although the team was limited in interscholastic competition, they played considerable games among themselves. 187 Girls’ Field Hockey Holding the distinction of being the only interscholastic varsity sport for girls, the field hockey team is in its fourth year. With the return of many varsity players from last year and the turnout of an excellent group of newcomers, the team appeared to have much potential and proved itself in a highly successful season. The team exhibited excellent skills and plenty of spirit, which pulled them through some tight spots. Miss Eckersly managed the team this year, giving the girls the benefit of her expert knowledge and guidance. Congratulations are due and we wish the girl’s field hockey team much luck in future seasons.

Coach Martin Reisner is stressing the perfection of smooth ball-handling, shooting, and plain old hustle. Amid cheering crowds and waving banners, Captain Jim Howe will lead the Indians in conquest of the C.V.C. crown. Other Seniors on the team include: swift guard Richard Dunn 6’0”, forward Bill Davis, sharp shooting guard Tim Ahern, and 6’3” center Jay Brazel. The junior varsity team, coached by Mr. Nugent has good balance height and excellent team work and promises to be a top contender next year and the year after. Row I: B. Sullivan, W. Schrocder, D.

Girls' Gymnastics The annex gym is filled with the determined and eager members of the Girls Gymnastics Team every Monday night and Friday afternoon during the winter months. The girls put endless hours training themselves to perform to perfection in the areas of trampoline, the balance beam, the uneven parallel bars, vaulting, tumbling, and floor exercise. Although gymnastics is an individual sport, the girls are united by their common interest and enthusiasm. As a varsity sport the team participates in judged competitions and presents a gymnastics show in March as a finale to the season. Captain: Becky Barrett Co-captain: Nancy Sparrow 200 Debbie There is no interscholastic competition for the Boys Gymnastics Club. The club is primarily for the instruction and enjoyment of the members. The instructor is Mr. Brian Wade. The boys work on the rings, parallel bars, horse, horizontal bar, vault box, tramp, and the mats. Rewards for the boys are new found skills, improved coordination, and a lot of fun.

Using last year’s upset of New Britain as a stepping stone, this year’s Tennis Team anticipates a great season under Coach John Paskavitch. In addition to the well-coached teams of Middletown and Plainville, the team will host New Britain and other opponents of the CVC. Through dedicated coaching and hard work, the team, headed by Brendan Guttman, should be able to finish well up in the Central Valley Conference standings. Tennis Team 206 Captain Brendan Guttmann L.

The team began the season as the Connecticut State Champions after last year’s undefeated record. The four starting senior members are Peter Gill (captain), John Torda, Richard Carlson, and James Bedus. The members practice on their own, and compete weekly with neighboring high schools. Under the direction of Coach Rogalski, the team plans to equal last year’s record. Golf Team 208 Fall Awards Banquet Night Row 1: M. Swayne, G. Hart, B. Davidson, S. Toce, B. Bennet, B. Prentice, B.

They bring with them talent and, most important, experience. Tri-Captains Mark Swayne, Bruce Marino, and Frank Ciarcia supply the incentive necessary for victory. The strong pitching staff and powerful batters should prove the value of the Indians on the diamond. 210 I • i 211 Lee Jim Boh Don Frank Bruce Mark .« 4 213 Barry Richard Ronald 215 216 Wasn’t it yesterday that they were small . . . no comment!
