Text from Pages 1 - 152 of the 1970 volume:

The rest of our lives begins tomorrow. Today is the last of our yesterdays. The yesterdays of childish dreams, teachers and classes, and fun with the kids. What we learned we will take with us, and we have been enlightened and strengthened. How- ever, at this moment, a listing of the past is of small value. The rest of our lives begins tomorrow. We have the right to hope it will be the beginning of many, in order that we can make errors, rectify them, then try to do better next time. Yet we know, and have known, that for many this will not be true. That bitter fact should cause every one of us to pledge that our mis- takes will be minimal; our contribution notable. 4 The rest of our lives begins tomorrow. As we leave this place we know what we are to do. This generation has set itself to correct some of the errors man- kind has made before and during our short lifetimes; but we act with humility, not forgetting the good. Our every tomorrow will demonstrate that we are led by these age-old, unshakable be- liefs: every man has the right to independent thought; every man has the right to peace; every man has been touched by the hand of God. 5 administration: j 4 4- + +i+ + 4 - -4 4 4 - ■4 ♦ + 4 4 4 « The two assistant principals confer.

HENRY FAGAN Assistant Superintendent of Schools MR. HENRY CRAWFORD Principal Yesterday they set the boundaries within which we walked. Today, they recede into those boundaries and we go beyond. We have re- spected their doctrines, appreciated their aims and benefited by their guidance. Tomorrow must be ours. Our principal in his office. 9 Our assistant principal at the front desk. MR. RICHARD ZAHNER Supervisor english: Our teachers took our cultural heritage and placed it into the perspective of today. We shall remember the eternal truths, rolled out in ribbons of words, and carry them with us. We must find out for ourselves. MR. THOMAS PUGLISE MRS. MILDRED SCHILLING MRS. ANNE-MARIE PALMIERI MRS. BARBARA GENTILE MRS. JOAN SCHOFIELD MISS ANN TREVETHAN MR. FIORITO MISS TREVETHAN social studies Yesterday teaches us what to avoid tomor- row.

VIRGINIA STUDLEY MRS. KATHRYN PARK The home is where we began. If it left us dissatisfied, we will‘ build another tomor- row. If it fulfilled our needs, we will con- tinue it tomorrow. ThJ fundamental quali- ties don't change; we must not forget. LILLIAN FARKAS Supervisor MRS MRS. LAURIAN CECILIO business: Changes are endless in the mechanization of business skills. Busy heads and hands make that mechanization an efficient mem- ber of tomorrow’s society. It cannot be said that the machine will replace the man. Mrs. Castelot's Office Training Class. Mrs. Babyak's Typing Class. MRS. MARIE McCORMICK Supervisor PATRICK MARSAN MRS. VICKY BABYAK Unless we have strong bodies, we cannot accomplish what we have set out to do. Unless we have competed, we cannot ap- preciate one another’s weaknesses. Our special tomorrow demands that we be physically and mentally disciplined. physical education MR. WILLIAM WALLACE MR. RUDOLPH TAKACS MR. GRANT FITCH MRS. ROSAMOND DUSTIN MR. KENNETH HATHAWAY Supervisor mathematics: MR. DONALD MENCIK The dreams of today’s man to explore the universe are propelled by the mathemati- cian. Figures on paper represent the plan of tomorrow’s voyages.

A Linda Vincelette Donna Bebmke Artists at work. There will be times, in the rest of our lives, when we will wish to express, graphically, our own and our society’s thoughts. These will be the times when our hands will be the ex- pressors, making an individual world of crea- tor and creation. MISS MARILYN GARDNER Supervisor MRS. JEANNE DOYLE MR. DAVID PROCTOR Kim Fennell MR. ROBERT LENOX Supervisor music: Tomorrow we will listen to those around us. We will listen to their words, but we must also listen to the non- verbal. Music can transmit injustice, fear, and loneliness. We must hear it all. Mr. Marvin Holladay MR. JOHN RADDER Supervisor MR. DANIEL BANKS MR. CARL ERICKSON industrial art: MR. HOWARD RICHELSOPH We are a generation marked by mechanism. The engine is our means of conveyance, our field of endeav- or, our way of life. The elimination of yesterday’s errors, guarantees to- morrow’s safety. We depend upon our industrial craftsmen. MR. THOMAS KEKACS MR. GEORGE JEWETT MR. HARRY ZERFING MR. EDWARD ROBERTS Tomorrow’s citizen will be better-edu- cated. His skills will have been re-en- forced; his environment enriched. Those with special abilities have made him their particular care. MRS. CLARIBEL SPAMER A place where yesterday and today meet. Shelves of timeless words to which some day we may add ours. Tomor- row’s words are yet to be written. MISS GLADYS STORK Librarian MR. GEORGE GLOVER Supervisor vocational education: Everyone has a place in tomorrow. A vocation guarantees a livelihood and self-respect. The practical and the fund- amental combine to make each individ- ual’s endeavors common in the building of a world in which we all can live. recognition: MR. DONALD W. FOWLER MISS ANNE PARIS Miss Anne Paris and Mr. Donald Fowler retired from supervisory positions in 1969. Yet, they will be remembered for other than their administra- tive functions. Each was as interested in the in- dividual student as the teacher who was in daily contact with him. A year never went by that Mr. Fowler didn’t stop at our door to see how the LOG was going, be- cause it was a record of a succession of young people for whom he felt a keen responsibility. Miss Paris, a yearbook initiator, put in her order for a LOG every year, so that the recorded history of each class would not be broken. The Class of 1970, each and individually, wishes you well. For many of us, tomorrow has been affected by what we sought and found in our guidance department. Their responsibility has been heavy. They knew our lives would be in- augurated by their direction. OR. GEORGE CHARLESWORTH Director of Guidance MRS. HELEN LISKOV Head Counsellor MR. KEITH BODNAR MRS. HELEN KRUEGER MR. FRANK PETRO-ROY MR. DONALD MacCORMACK 29 Cafeteria general staff: Mrs. Seirup tapes a painful ankle. MRS. ANNETTE SEIRUP MR. TONY MYER Head Custodian JOSEPH GENAK These people represent our yesterdays. They handled, with efficiency, our day-to- day school problems. We are no longer under their care. We must learn to be self- sufficient. MRS. MAGUIRE Sometimes I feel like I will never stop Just go on forever Till one fine morning I'll reach up and grab me a hand fulla stars Swing out my long lean leg And whip three hot strikes burning down the heavens And look over at God and say How about that! —Samuel Allen class of 1970 The Class of 1970 culminates its high school preparation under the dual leaderships of Mr. Joseph Dimenno, class adviser, and Virginia Hurley, its 4-year president. The year opened with the customary senior hat ceremony and a dance. During the interim period, be- fore graduation festivities, the seniors will present “Henry, Sweet Henry” as its class play. May we hope that all their tomorrows will be as fruitful as their todays. MR. JOSEPH DIMENNO SENIOR COUNCIL. Bottom Row: M. May, Treasurer; D. Delmonico, Secretary; V. Hurley, President; K.

Missing from picture: Carolyn Steinberg, Treas. As characterized by its advisor, Miss Marino, the class of 1971 has been a fine group with which to work. Whatever the task set, the class officers and council have “come through.” This year’s money-making scheme — the sale of magazines—was a great success and this has been true of all other financial undertakings. In addition, the class banner was designed by Junior Bill Penney, and stitched by Junior Michele LaBrecque. This class has been made up of innovators and it has truly set standards for future classes to follow. Caroline Grant Bottom Row—L. Smith; T. Bielen; D. Sorenson; R. Riola. Row 2—T. Marino; B. J.

Pins are purchased and finances have to be thought about. The sale of toothbrushes by the class of 1972 was a profitable one. However, the biggest event is the dance, a joint affair in February. Good luck to our underclassmen. SOPHOMORE COUNCIL. Bottom Row—D. Corvino; Ann Marie Lee, President; R. Regnery; C. Santiago; J. Marsella; J. Smith; P. Grom; W. Metcalf.

The Student Council has ex- perienced a year of challenge, an indication that today has manifested itself at the high school level. Although the “new” has questioned the “old, tra- ditional activities have prevailed. The Xmas Formal and the Xmas Buffet were better than ever! The responsibilities of the Student Council are heavy and those who run for that office are few. Those who do, deserve recognition. Advisor Mr. Murphy junior and senior f.t.a. Bottom Row: J.

Year in, year out, in every sort of weather, Finding our way to Beauty — and to God! — Janice Appleby Succorsa — all-ee all-ee in free On November 7 and 8, Stratford High School’s annual Variety Show took place in the auditorium. “ALL-EE ALL-EE IN FREE con- sisted of a cast of well over a hundred enthusiastic Stratfordites. The plot, as a whole, was concerned with a mythical campus riot but each act was highlighted by music and comedy performed by individual groups. In Act I there were “The Flirtations,” “The Mor- gal Yale” and a song and dance routine directed by Raye Need- ham. In Act II there were a take-off on “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?” and a song skit performed by members of the senior class, plus the “Dallas Jug Stompers”. Talent and good direction pro- vided an enjoyable evening for all. m , _ 1, _____ Senior hats, as always, were distributed in September to the now official upper- classmen. The ceremony was somewhat briefer than in past years, but those who wished to, danced until 11:00 p.m. At last, there was a place for all those but- tons! senior hat night In November, after the school has settled into its routine of scholastic business, the parents are invited to share in their children’s progress.

To go along with the far eastern motif, the gymnasium was decorated with streamers of purple, pink and yellow and the walls played host to harem dancing girls. Music which was provided by D. R. Parker, emanated from a bandstand adorned with colored lights. Although attendance was limited, it was an event which deserved an award for originality. A night which will long be remembered by all who at- tended, was Crystal Illusion, which took place in our gym on December 20, J969. Couples danced to the soft rhythm of music provided by the Knights of La Brecque. The highlight of the evening however, was the crowning of the Holly King and Queen. Awarded this honor were Holly Queen Faith Harvey and King Quentin Tyler. A fairyland atmosphere was created by the glittering sil- ver tree that was suspended from the ceiling. The illusions of the beauty of Christmas became a reality. The musical comedy, Henry, Sweet Henry”, based on a book by Nunnally Johnson, was ably presented by the senior class on March 13 and 14. The production was an ambitious one, but proved once again that our Stratford students respond to any challenge — but so does its faculty. The play was directed by Mr. David Proctor, who also handled his usual role as set designer. Mrs. Norma Roman directed the chorus and pro- vided the musical background. For talent, entertainment, and a festive evening, Henry, Sweet Henry,” was the opus to see. CAST Valerie Boyd Ann Wesche KaUUz ..................................................

The proudest moment in the season for Coach Caseria and staff was probably the selection of Tony Giaquinto to first team MBIAC and second team all-state. Outstanding players for the red and gold were tri-captains Kevin Mooney, Quentin Tyler, and Dave Stearns. Craig Dolyak and Kevin Mooney, Dan Smith and many of the other boys on the team did their share. With next year’s captains Miller, Bielen and Smart, the red and gold have a good nucleus on which to build for 1970. SCORES Strat.

He was followed by Rich Duguay (163), Capt. John Simko (162), Marc Swanson (157), John Cordone (150), Rick Fields (145) and sophomore Jon Gorman (140). They finished in fourth place, rising from the low point of eighth place. Since Jon Gorman will be the only one returning, Coach Flagg will have to look for a new team next year. John Frederickson?
