CLASS HISTORY After winning an important battle, Julius Caesar once said, Veni, vidi, vici. This statement could apply to our class at Mahar. Our sojourn has included one important success after anoth- er. It all began when the students of five towns joined together in September of 1961 to be- come united as the Class of 1967. In our freshman year, our officers were Wayne Sanborn, Sandy MacKinnon, Bill Woodcock, and Mimi Hellen. Under their leadership, we faced the many difficulties which confronted us. Life, however, was not all work and worry. We did enjoy invading New York City and taking part in the Variety Show for the first time. This year, the initial phase of our education at Mahar ended successfully. As sophomores we continued under the able guidance of Peter Baltren, Sandy MacKinnon, Jean Belloli, and Donna LaPerle. That year we had the opportunity of ordering our class pins and rings. We combined all of our abilities to put on a Halloween dance and later in the year a Dinner Dance. One of the greatest successes of the school year was our football team's winning the Intercounty League Championship. We endured the many trials of this, the second stage of our educational process again successfully. To lead us in our junior year, we elected Glenda Dubay, Charles Krouse, Jean Belloli, And Maureen Roche. We were now upperclassmen. We accomplished much this year. Our football team won the Central Massachusetts Class Cn Championship, and Rick Hawkes captured the Most Valuable Player Award at the Thanksgiving Game. We acquired another victory with our one-act play, Sleep, Baby, Sleep. Another glorious success of the year was our Ring Dance. In the spring we faced one of the most difficult ordeals of our lives-College Board exams. The spring was also a time of joy in the form of our Prom, entitled Castle In the Cloudsf' Shortly after this momentous evening, we concluded the third phase of our expedition toward learning. For the fourth and most important year, we were under the command of Peter Baltren, Glenda Dubay, Jean Belloli, and Mimi Hellen. Many successes were ours during this final year. Our football team again was Central Massachusetts Class HC Champion. Wayne Sanborn ac- quired the Most Valuable Player Award at the Thanksgiving Game, as well as accumulating 106 points for the season. Other honors were bestowed upon our class and our school as a result of Patrick Haine's outstanding workin the field of science. We faced another bout with the College Board exams. As spring arrived so did our Prom, Baccalaureate, Class Day, and Graduation. When the end came, we realized that we had come, we had seen, but we had not totally conquered. Our enemy, ignorance, had only begun to fall. We understood that we were on the threshold of a greater and more important struggle which would continue for the rest of our lives, and we courageously prepared ourselves for that new alarum. 78
