A crazy quilt. An ever-shifting pattern. Shapes that come and go, leaving no echo behind. Do you remember these lines from Up the Down Staircase not so long ago? How true these words are when we apply them to our lives! Life is that never-ending kaleidoscope of which we are all a part. As we grow, the patterns constantly shift and change. Soon we find ourselves in high school, that crazy quilt which is a major windmill with which every young person must joust. High school is the beginning — the preparation — the first chance to reach our star. The only difference in our crazy quilt, Spaulding High School, is that we do leave an echo behind. In OUR ECHO 1971 we hope to create lasting memories of one important design in life's ever-changing kaleidoscope as we fondly look back and remember 4 6 The pen is the tongue of the mind, and we hope OUR ECHO 7977 will bring to your memory the windmills we have jousted this year. In pictures and words we have included a time for some things, a time for all things, a time for great things, and a time for small things. We want you to adventure through OUR ECHO 1971, following our guide as he encounters many windmills to be jousted, as he helps those in need or distress, and as he sallies forth in search of his star. And our guide? The famous Don Quixote de la Mancha, otherwise known as The Knight of the Woeful Figure. - quotations from Cervantes' Don Quixote DR. ANATOLE G. PENDO Thirteen is thought to be an unlucky number, and for S.H.S. it is. Dr. A. G. Pendo has been retired this year after thirteen years as Principal of Spaulding High School. He oversaw the building of a library, planned the move to a new school, encouraged the opening of the first Regional Vocational-Technical Center, and helped thirteen classes of seniors re- ceive their diplomas. This year the class of 1971 was honored to have Dr. Pendo graduate with us, and we hope that we have meant as much to him as he has meant to us. He has helped us joust with our bigger windmills, and we appreciate the fine example he has set. The class of 1971 dedicates Our Echo 1971 with deepest affection and respect to Dr. Anatole G. Pendo What is this mystery that men call death? My friend before me lies; in all save breath He seems the same as yesterday. His face So like to life, so calm, bears not a trace Of that great change which all of us so dread. I gaze on him and say: He is not dead, But sleeps; and soon he will arise and take Me by the hand.

Mrs. Canning with Marie Boudreau. Mrs. Nellie Canning Mrs. Nellie Canning has forged strong bonds at Spauld- ing since she came here to teach in the Business Depart- ment in 1960. Her son Charles and her daughter Grace were members of the classes of '63 and '64. Mrs. Canning has taken an active interest in both class- room and extra-curricular activities. Although best known for her bookkeeping and office practice classes, her re- cent courses have reflected changing emphasis in busi- ness education. She has taught courses in Key Punch and Data Processing and in Visual Communications. To teach these classes she enrolled in study programs at U.V.M., Husson College, and IBM in Boston. One of the most active school organizations is Future Business Leaders, which Mrs. Canning founded several years ago, and which she served as adviser until this year. She also assisted as Student Council adviser for three years. Mrs. Canning looks forward to enjoying the outdoors — trees and brooks — during her retirement. She also hopes for more time to enjoy music and books. Our good wishes follow this lady whose quiet dignity and respect for students we shall remember. When Mrs. Canning opens her gift, she'll find a sterling silver gravy ladle. 4Xm Of A Liberal Education — Don Quixote Miss Elizabeth 5. White This year one of Spaulding's finest teachers has retired. Miss Elizabeth White a Spaulding alumna, has been a member of the Spaulding faculty for thirty-nine years, and during this time she has earned the respect of count- less students for her scholarship, vitality, kindness, and enthusiasm for learning and living. Miss White will leave Barre to live on Cape Cod and possibly keep her hand in the scholastic world by doing some tutoring. Her special interest in gardening brought an unusual gift from the faculty and staff — a holly tree which now stands in front of her new home. Miss White is unique. No teacher is more dedicated, interesting, or knowledgeable. The faculty and students of Spaulding wish her a most rewarding retirement. Mr. Atkins presents Miss White a lovely bird's nest for her holly tree. He also reads a note from the nursery describing the tree which has been planted in her yard at the Cape. 45 Miss White listens to testimonials at her retirement party with the same quiet dignity we have seen in her classroom. Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Johnson are guests at the faculty and staff Retirement Dinner. Mr. Clifford I oh n son Mr. Clifford Johnson has held an important place in the Spaulding family as head maintenance man. Whenever anything broke or refused to work, Mr. Johnson always appeared to work his magic. Soon the whistling radiator was quiet, the burned- out light tube had been replaced, and the balky door hinge opened smoothly. We especially remember Mr. Johnson as the key man — always ready to open a locker when we just forgot. And Mr. Johnson of the Lost and Found Department — as he helped us locate our missing books and belongings. We know that one of the pleasures of retirement will be a chance to enjoy fall hunting. We hope that a buck runs in your direction. And we thank you for all the times you have helped us with such cheerful politeness. Mr. Clifford Johnson helps Daniel Kelty with a balky locker. Mr. Johnson's key always seems to fit. Two members of the Johnson family are leaving Spaulding this spring — Mr. Johnson and his son George, Class of '71 We Petition For Urgently Needed School Funds Mary Tucker goes door to door asking for an affirmative revote on the budget. Paul Allen counts the number of signatures on petitions — we have enough! Advanced biology — one of the many courses that could have been hurt by a lack Mr. Edwin Free helps inform the voters where the of funds. money will go. 48 Mr. Baker discusses the performance of one of his science students with the pupil's mother. Parents' Night — A Chance For Many Parents And Teachers To Meet Bonnie Lavin distributes leaflets to parents as they visit throughout the school.

Yes was the answer for nearly 100 singers who faithfully appeared for a diligent musical workout with Miss Bedell each morning. The Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Bedell, had an active year. A selected group sang Christmas programs for several civic organizations. The entire Glee Club presented a cantata at the Christmas as- sembly. After Christmas, the Glee Club prepared for an exchange concert with Methuen, Massa- chusetts. They travelled to Methuen for a three-day stay, climaxed by a trip to Boston and a concert given May 15. Again, a concert was per- formed May 22 when Methuen came to visit Barre. The entire program was considered very successful and fun for all.

Special speakers and projects were the main features of the L4 Math Club meetings this year. Mr. Robert Kerr described the use of mathematics in planning Inter- state 89 and its access roads. At very informative meetings, Robert McKlennow, a member of the National Life Insurance Co. Ac- tuarial Department, explained the type of mathematics used in life insurance, and Mr. Carlsen, a surveyor, demonstrated the tech- niques of surveying and mapping. The L4 club members constructed polyhedra as decorations for the school Christmas tree. Row 7; Marion Delano, Treasurer, Nancy Friberg, President, Row 2 John Richey, Vice-president, Janet Burdett, Secretary, Miss White, Advisor. Members of L4 discuss a coming speaker as they prepare to study the mathematical principles involved in several games. Math Club Challenges Imagination In 1959 a small group of students met with Miss White to draw up plans tor a mathemat- ics club. L4 became the name of the club and is the mathematical designation for its full ti- tle, The Little League of Logic Lovers. The club has been educational rather than social, and through lectures and discussions the members have been well-informed of mathematics and related fields. Among activities of L4 have been field trips to Norwich University and the IBM Plant in Essex lunction. The students were especially interested in computer mathematics and had several speakers on this subject. I he successes of members of L4 in mathematics are ample evidence of Miss White's inspired lead- ership and the club's serious purpose. Row 7. Priscilla Pixley, Paula Ladd, Bonita Lavin.

Latin IV Class Tours The Boston Museum Of Fine Arts Susan Thurston, Scriba; Karin Rubalcaba, Quaestor; Paula Ladd, Consul. Six members of the Latin IV class and Mrs. Gioria, with Mrs. Thurston as chauffeur, visited the Boston Museum of Fine Arts on May 14. During the morning they toured the Greek and Roman displays in the Museum. After dinner at the Prudential Tower, the class found the new Aquarium an interesting place to visit. The entire trip was interesting, educational, and fun for the whole class. Key Club Finances Generous Scholarships And Gifts Key Club had a busy and successful year raising funds for its scholarships. The Club found an answer to sponsoring successful dances — hold them during school vacations. The boys sold programs at football games and operated concessions during the basket- ball season. During the Thanksgiving holiday, Key Clubbers served hot coffee to tourists at the information booth in the park. This was a most unusual under- taking which attracted much favorable comment. Rounding out the year's activities was the N.E. District Convention in Boston in the spring, with Jeff Sassorossi the out-going District treasurer. Jeff Sassorossi, President of Key Club, congratulates Miss Watson on the club's presentation of $100.00 to AFS.

Dr Pendo displays one of his gifts to admiring friends and Dr. Pendo is delighted with his many gifts received from Key Club students. Mr. Flink and Mr. Walz prepare slides. Humanities students make special study of water and air pollution, with special consider- ation of our relation to the environment. Paul Miller practices yoga. Twenty-five freshmen and sophomores en- rolled this year in a new course — Humanities. An innovation was a team teaching approach with Miss Bedell, Head of he Fine Arts Depart- ment, coordinating the program, Mr. Bohn rep- resenting art; Mr. Flink, music; Mr. Skillin, his- tory; Mr. Walz, literature. In the fall the students took a close look at man and his relation to a higher order, corre- lating this idea in art, music, history, and litera- ture. At Christmas the Bread and Puppet Theatre presented a moving multi-media dramatization of The Christmas Story. In the spring the stu- dents were treated to a second performance by talented professional actors as they viewed The Grey Lady Cantata a few days before its opening in a successful off-Broadway produc- tion. During a special study of the aged in our society, the students became interested in helping elderly people in nursing homes over- come loneliness. They collected twenty used radios which were repaired and distributed to nursing homes in the area. One of the most unusual aspects of the year's study was an experiment in discrimina- tion, a week-long experience in being isolated from friends and classmates so that students might understand the social pressures of preju- dice. Jeanne LePage practices another yoga position. During the year The Bread and Puppet Theatre presented The Christmas Story and The Grey Lady Cantata.

Our win-lose record is 12-6. The final record in memorable experiences and teamsmanship is recorded only with the riflemen. Four of the five losses were decided by ten points or less. In rifle competition, ten points equals but one good shot. Each competitor fires forty times in shooting over the four position course; prone, sitting, kneeling and off-hand. The four shooters who comprise the team then fire a total of 160 shots to tally the team score. In an important match with Northfield, our team actually tied with the opponents. One point either way could have decided the match. In this situation the official rules apply, thus each team's off hand targets are compared by the range officer and the team with the superior set is awarded the win. Northfield won. Members of the team demonstrate various shooting positions as Mr. Walker, the coach, looks on. Rifle Team Rifle Team's Year Highly Successful with On the firing line.

Dennis' participation and involve- ment in his classes has been a source of pride to all of us. We were challenged by his classroom achievements as we listened to his perceptive answers. When we discovered that Dennis was an active member of the Spaulding Wrestling Team, we were both thrilled and awed. His pres- ence on the team gave us an addi- tional reason to be interested in the Wrestling Team's season.
