TN- FCREWCRD From the top of the hill on which Swampscott High School is situated, stretch limitless horizons. To the east, the north, and the south extends the broad Atlantic, to the west, our own vast continent. Inside the walls of S.H.S. is an equally wide, wide world - of learning, of personalities, of activities, of ambitions, plans, and dreams. We Seniors have spent four years at Swampscott High. With each of those years, our perspective has widened, our sense of values has both expanded and deepened. In our 1959 Sea Gull we record the story of our last and richest year at Swampscott High School. -I M Administration IU' 2 and Faculty Curriculum .........,....,.,....... Organizations .

Trickey, our librarian, has capably directed S.H.S. students from freshman library-classes through senior pro- jects, cheerfully and unselflshly. Her cease- less efforts to keep the library a vital and pleasant place, and her outstanding devotion to the guidance of the student body have made her a very real part of the Swampscott High School spirit of cooperation. As adviser to the Library Club, she has spent many hours instructing its members and imparting to them her own enthusiasm for the world of books. To Miss Trickey, who has been so close to our class in so many ways, we respect- fully dedicate our yearbook. There is much that takes place in the library besides charging out books. Freshmen classes meet there to become acquainted with the Dewey Decimal System and all the resources of the book-lined room. Upperclassmen seek out help and information for research projects. Vocation-minded individuals explore helpful materials. Students browse among the classics or sample new books. Ever-alert to the needs of all is Miss Trickey.

Club. trend is given in Shop. Probably never in the history of the United States has education, particularly at the high school level, been the center of so much interest and concern. To meet the challenge of the times, many high schools, including Swampscott, have begun to introduce both new methods of instruction and new materials for study. This fact was immediately evident upon our return to school in September. This year the Science Department has taken an en- tirely fresh approach to the course in physics. The study material has been especially prepared by the Physical Science Study Committee and differs com- pletely from the physics texts formerly used. Spend- ing many more hours in the laboratory than formerly, the students prepare equipment of their own design and deal in the conceptual areas of physics once re- served for study beyond high school. In keeping with the new trends, the Mathematics Department has also begun a new course of study for the more gifted math students. Unlike the physics course, the new advanced math program is not experi- mental and deals with the time-honored subjects of calculus and analytical geometry. However, Mathe- matical Analysis, as the new course is called, is geared The library is always a busy center of activity. -...mm-.....,,-, MARS Training for a vocation or for the do-it-yourself ood habit in speaking and .tening are developed trough oral reports. SHS offers Q.. .ggi-f' ' to the college-level student and uses a college text in addition to presenting the material at a greatly ac- celerated pace. As the Science and Mathematics Departments were taking their giant steps forward, the English Depart- ment was DOI idle. Swampscott High School partici- pated in the experimental Television Course in the Humanities, in which eleventh-grade students viewed twelve pilot programs emphasizing three areas of dramatic literature--the golden age of Greek drama, the age of Elizabeth and Shakespeare, and the con- temporary American theater. Along with the new standards set for college- bound pupils came definite steps to meet industry's call for more and better-trained technicians. The re- action at Swampscott High has been a new technical physics and mathematics program in the Industrial perfect their accents. Arts Department. The department also has plans to en- large its program to give a more comprehensive train- ing in electronics. Embracing these innovations is our basic program of studies, which is divided into four major courses: Business, College Preparatory, Home Economics, and Industrial Arts. Each student is obliged to take a cer- tain number of required subjectsg however, the courses are so planned as to allow a reasonable number of elec- tives. In all courses, four years of English and of physi- cal education are prescribed, as are general science, civics, and United States history. Students in the College Course have several sub- jects on which to base their accumulation of the fif- teen units essential for college admission. Mathematics courses range from general math to trigonometry. The sciences oifered, in addition to those previously I WI! 2 lQn... i French conversationalists use the tape recorder to The right number of cooks results in a delectable pro- duct in Foods class. -' fl COHZpl'6h6l1SlU6 Cllffltlllllnl '55 P E 1 f . ,, x, .. hr, ws. ,ME .. un.. ang mentioned, are biology and chemistry. Latin, French, and Spanish constitute the language courses, and la- boratory work with tape recordings and records is available to all foreign-language students. Required courses for the members of the Business group include general business, bookkeeping, type- writing, economic geography, and consumer education, However, as in all courses, electives may be drawn from such areas as the sciences and foreign languages. ln the senior year, Business students concentrate on one of two programs: the Clerical or the Stenographic. Modern, well-equipped facilities are at hand for the girls who enroll in the Home Economics program Their required courses include consumer education, nutrition, home nursing, and home economics. For boys enrolled in Industrial Arts, the course of study offers shop practice, shop math or algebra and geom- Us - 'i -mmf 90069 1:1 l Q.-sv Q41 : Qi etry, technical physics, and mechanical drawing. Among the other course offerings which enrich our curiculum are art, music, speech, remedial read- ing, and driver education. Library-training is given to all freshmen, and throughout our four years we con- tinue to make use of our excellent library facilities. In selecting our individual courses, we are as- sisted by the Guidance Department, which also an- nually administers batteries of tests. These range from the Kuder Interest Tests given to freshmen through the vocational tests for seniors. Throughout the year we are provided with opportunities to meet and listen to men and women from many professions and oc- cupations, in regularly scheduled guidance assemblies. Swampscott High School offers us a comprehensive curriculum, one which seeks to combine the best of the old and the new. . 7 flower. .. -liw' L- 1 Sophomore botanists as semble a model of a w 12 'I3 Seated: Geraldine Price, Eileen Melamed, Charlotte Bloch, Gerald Hershenson.

NATIONAL IHTB6 H6112 CIUDS GUIDANCE MISSILES Blast off! and a new service organization was launched successfully at Swampscott High. The Guidance Missiles group was organized this year by Mrs. Mary Cooper in order to bring about a closer relationship between the student body and the Guidance Department. Members carry strategic information to their homeroom groups and act as a liason with the Guidance Counselors. In addition, they have helped to plan assemblies and have acted as guides and recep- tionists to visiting admissions officers and to speakers at guidance meetings. HONOR SOCIETY Character, scholarship, leadership, service . . . so reads the motto of the National Honor Society. Established eleven years ago, the Swampscott Chapter presently has one of the largest memberships in its history, composed of the highest-ranking students in the junior and senior classes. A highlight of the school year is the very impressive induction ceremony in which new candidates receive the prized gold pins symbolic of outstanding scholastic achievement, and take their places in this nation-wide organization. Mr. Brooks K. Blossom is chapter adviser. 'I4 Firrt row: Barbara juel, Bon- nie Sue Solar, Carl jaffee, Richard Shulman, Frances Spi- nale, Lewis Engleman, Suz- anne Loring.

Meeting at seven o'clock on Friday mornings, the members have been initiated into the complexities of the Russian language by Mrs. Helen Toochin, a native of Russia. Under the leadership of Stuart Denenberg, presi- dent, and Bill Margolis, treasurer, the students inaugurated their study in the belief that it is a meaningful step toward international understanding and a very worthwhile activity.

CHESS CLUB Another new organization in our school this year is the Chess Club. Moti- vated by the desire to provide a different type of activity as well as an interesting leisure-time occupation, the group formed under the direction of Mr. Richard Bath. Devotees of this time-honored game are developing their skills in regular meetings and, in one of their first moves, have become affiliated with the Greater Boston Chess Players Association. Chess tournaments for the Swampscott High School club have been arranged through this organization. 15 LIBRARY CLUB The Library Club, under Miss Katherine Trickey, is another of the service organizations in the school, whose special purpose it is to help make the school library a useful, pleasant place for our students. The members of the club, who work at least two periods a week in the library, also aid in teaching the students how to use the library efficiently. A major aim of the organization is to stimulate an interest in reading.

GLEE CLUB One of Swampscott High School's most outstanding and enjoyable tra- ditions is the Christmas Assembly, at which our musical organizations offer a program of beautiful and varied selections. The Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Esther Nazarian, annually gives unmistakable evidence of the high standards which govern its work. The club was formed to give expression to its members' musical ability and to train them in effective group work. Another of its important events is the Spring Concert, which members of both the school and the community enjoy. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB The International Relations Club completed a successful and very active year with Mr. Harvey Michaels as adviser. The organization participated in the World Affairs Council Decisions 1959 program, which helped its members to understand better the relationship of nations. Several members of the group attended an International Relations School at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, while several others appeared on two panel discussions on local television stations. The organization, through research and discussion, helps to make its members aware of the problems confronting our nation.

Service groups and study clubs, STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council, with John Flanagan as president, is made up of representatives of all classes. The group has as its purpose to maintain the fine relationship between students and teachers as well as to promote student interest in school administration, problems and regulations. Under Mr. Ralph Earle, the group has had an active year, beginning with the supervision of the spirited class elections. Other elections run by the Council included those of our representa- tive to Student Government Day at the State House and of five students to participate in Student Government Exchange. DRAMATIC CLUB Reactivated this year, the Dramatic Club attracted so many members that its meetings have been held in two sections. The Juniors and Seniors are under the direction of Mr. Harold Power, while the Sophomores meet with Mrs. Eleanor McKey. During this period of rebuilding, no public performance has been scheduled. However, plays have been read at club meetings as the members worked to acquire a knowledge of techniques of acting and of play production. S.H.S. is looking forward to performances by its own thespians next year. First row: Sandra Rosenthal, Linda Owens, Charlotte Bloch, Florence Power, Diana Os- borne, Gail Tenenbaum, Linda Gershman.

By mid-year, eight freshmen had completed training and had passed government examinations as amateur radio operators. Faith Ingalls became the first girl in the history of the club to pass these examinations. The group, headed by Temple Fay and guided expertly by Mr. Thomas Eickelberger, has built and installed a new antenna system on the roof of the school. Members have also built trans- mitters and receivers for student use, and have carried on a program designed to advance their technical knowledge.

To exemplify their ideal of service to others, the girls have knitted slippers, assembled writing port- folios, and made holiday window decorations for the hospitals. In school they have conducted vigorous membership and fund-raising campaigns in their home- rooms. Mrs. Charlotte Oliver acts as adviser to the club. 19 EDITORIAL STAFF First row: Madeline Carey, Robert Kimmel, Berna Lands- rnan, Carl Jaffee, Editor-in fhiefy Paul Fishbane, Stuart Denenberg, Mary Arroll.

BUSINESS STAFF and award-winning publications f SWAMPSCOTTA Swamprcotta, the literary magazine of S.H.S.. has many values for the student body. It offers an outlet to all four classes for creative activities in writing and art, and gives practical experience in the mechanics of editing, publishing, and financing to its many staff members. In addition, it provides entertaining and informative reading for the students, faculty, alumni, and all others interested in Swampscott High. The magazine, which came into being in 1928, has a reputation for excellence which its present edi- tors have worked to maintain. This year's staff is headed by Carl Jalfee, with four associate editors: Berna Landsman, Paul Fishbane, Robert Kimmel and Stuart Denenberg. The business staff is managed by Suzanne Loring and Joan Chaisson. Although Swamp- .rcotta is primarily a student product, it could not achieve its high quality without the guidance of Miss Mary M. Chaisson, adviser to the art staff, and Mr. Walter R. Henshaw, adviser to the other staffs who collaborate to put out the three yearly issues of the magazine. 3 a Front: Joan Cooper, Mary Martin, Phyllis Hurst.

Later, finding our respective classes proved to be a tremendous problem. The school ap- peared to us as a great monster, quite capable of swallowing us up in its mysterious corridors and passageways. The amused glances of the lofty upper- classmen as we searched in vain for the elevator did not help matters much. Then came the moment when we were given the combinations to those infernal machines known in the language of the layman as lockers. Despite our repeated and tearful efforts, our dull little brains could not be made to understand their workings. To the astonishment of the entire faculty, one of our members truly made history by finding himself enclosed in the narrow confines of his locker. The auditorium rang with the uproar that fol- lowed Mr. McLaughlin's announcement of our class election. We had managed our campaigns and marched around school with importance, trying to avoid the tolerant smiles of upperclassmen. Trium- phantly we acclaimed the peoples choice when Peter Pietrowski accepted the leadership of our class. Who can forget the embarrassed but pleased ack- nowledgment that another milestone in our lives had been passed, when we listened to the strains of Hap- py Birthday being sung by our classmates? We know it's corny, but deep in our secret hearts we have the love of being remembered on this day. Thanks to Mr. McLaughlin for his ferreting of information! The three o'clock dismissal did not prevent us from attending the Baby Blue football games, and we cheered our team with as much pride as any loyal senior possessed. We learned the true meaning of love for our Alma Mater as we yelled our lungs out at varsity football games or basketball and hockey games, and as we formed a snake behind the band as it proudly proclaimed that we are a part of S.H.S. Again we became a part of our school when we lifted our voices in song at the Glee Club concert, for which we had rehearsed with Miss Nazarian nearly three months. When we grudgingly gave up our two dollars for dues to Miss Foley, our class adviser, we did not ex- pect that our first dance would be such a spectacular one. Our Winter Carnival, as the dance was called, proved to be worth all our hard work and preparation. We are grateful to Miss Foley for her help this year. Thus we come to the end of the chapter of this maverick class. By force of circumstances, we were uprooted from our natural location at Hadley. Though sometimes we may have imagined ourselves unloved, unwanted, relegated to the end of the day, still we remained loving and valiantly looking forward to really belonging when we return to the ranks of the high school next year.

CLASS HISTORY As we end our sophomore year, we fondly remi- nisce about the wonderful experiences which we have had in our first two years at Swampscott High School. When we were Freshmen, we wandered through the building, trying to find our way around. When we asked where a certain room was, the upperclassmen replied that the room was on the fourth floor, which could be reached by the elevator! This awkwardness that we felt as Freshmen has now vanished. It is re- placed by a growing feeling of adulthood and com- panionship with our fellow students. We no longer look for the swimming pool and the elevators which do not exist, but now we look back on our experiences as freshmen with laughter. We are no longer timid freshmen, but confident Sophomores. Although we have not reached our full maturity, we feel that we have accomplished a great deal since we first entered high school. With the help of our able Student Council repre- sentatives, we chose the following Sophomore Class officers: Peter Mayer, president, Diane McElroy, vice- presidentg janet Goldman, secretary, and Patricia Dav- is, treasurer. Under the guidance of our excellent class adviser, Miss Margaret O'Riordan, we were ready to begin our sophomore year and resume our journey through high school. On Nevember 8, 1958, we had a barn dance which proved to be very successful. With Earl Davis as caller, everyone had a good time. ln the fall of 1958, a valiant effort was made by the Sophomores to win the Sea Gull Sweepstakes. Unfortunately we did not win, but we were close behind the winners. Many members of our class participated in fall sports. Several Sophomores were on the junior var- sity football team, and a few made the varsity. The girls' field hockey team was equally well supplied with Sophomores, as were the junior varsity and the girls' basketball teams. A goodly number of Sophomores took Part in spring sports. Members of the class also made up a large portion of the impressive Swampscott High School Band, and many helped to swell the ranks of the new Dramatic Club. On March 14, we held our second dance of the year, a Saint Patrick's Day sock hop. To swell our treasury, we joined the super-salesmen who had sud- denly blossomed out at S.H.S. this year and putveyed Big Blue decals for car windows. We are extremely grateful to our teachers and advisers who are guiding us toward a goal which we hope to achieve. This goal is to acquire the know- ledge and wisdom which will benefit us throughout the rest of our lives. We no longer think of the past but of the future which lies ahead. In that future we hope to improve ourselves as much as possible, to avoid the mistakes which We have made in the past, and to accomplish the task which we have set out to do.

Standing: Bruce Jordan, Philip janvrin. CLASS HISTORY As the third year at Swampscott High School comes to a close for the Class of 1960, it seems al- most impossible that time has gone by so quickly. Next year we shall be Seniors, making plans for the immediate future, having to decide just what we will be doing in the years to come. To sharpen our mem- ories of our days at Swampscott High, let us look back and see what of importance happened during our junior year. Returning to school, we found that the Ivy League look was still predominant. For the girls, the bulky sweaters, pleated skirts, and knee socks appeared as usual, but the emergence of red, blue, green, and black legs below shorter skirts was a new and quite unusual addition to the latest styles. As far as the boys were concerned, bulky sweaters, the Ivy League buckle, and more tailored paisley print shirts were much in evidence. One of our first class activities was the election of officers. The contest, sparked with genuine rivalry, was so close that reballoting was necessary. After the election, seated at the officers' table were Bruce jor- dan, presidentg Philip janvrin, vice-president, Sally Devine, secretary, and jackie Coughlin, treasurer. The junior Class received additional honor when Bruce Jordan was elected to the vice-presidency of the Stu- dent Council. Our class, well represented in all sports, was proud to be instrumental in maintaining Swampscott High's reputation as a winner. Mike Powers and Bruce jor- dan will co-captain the football team next season, and Barbara Segel and Puss Prichard are the co-captains- elect of the Floradora field hockey team. Mary Cos- tello, janice Reimer, and janet Burk have added to the spirit at S.H.S. by being elected cheerleaders. On November 22, 1958, we sponsored the popular, well-attended Beat Marblehead Dance, with music provided by the Serenaders. For the Beat Marblehead rally, our talented artist Marc Winer drew the pro- vocative Nebbish. As for the extra-curricular activities centered about publications, many Juniors submitted material to the Swampicolla, and several aided in publishing the magazine. With the help of our homeroom repre- sentatives, we again obtained enough subscriptions to win the Sea Gull Sweepstakes for the second year in a row, another honor for our class. Several juniors helped to produce the Sea Gull by working on the layout and the editorial staffs. In May, many of us climaxed a year of hard work in the classroom when we took the Scholastic Aptitude Tests to gain a first-hand idea of what these examina- tions are like, and to learn what to expect next year. The social highlight of our junior year, and its cli- max, was the long-awaited, never-to-be-forgotten jun- ior Prom. All who attended had a wonderful evening, and were grateful to those who helped in making the Prom the success it was. We want to thank our class adviser, Mr. Robert Hayden, for his guidance. We know that with his assistance our senior year will be outstanding. HOMEROOM 6 irrt roux' Susan Weinswig, atricia Sogololf, Gail Tenen- aum, Sharon Snow, Lois Varheld, Julie Smith, Sally ibbetts.

FOOTBALL FACTS For the second consecutive year, the Swampscott High football squad went through an undefeated season, again seizing the State Class B champion- ship. Scoring a total of 300 points while allowing the opposition only 36, the Big Blue romped to eight straight victories and extended its total victory skein to seventeen games, the longest streak in Swampscott's history. From the beginning, the squad seemed headed for a glorious season. A pre-season triumph over Lawrence, 16-O, during a one-quarter scrimmage in the Joyce Jamboree, indicated the Blue's speed and strength, for Lawrence eventually became the highly touted State Class A champions. After the weather had forced cancellation of the game with Andover, the team waltzed through the rest of its schedule to the Northeastern Conference crown, clos- ing with a 41-6 triumph over Thanksgiving Day arch-rival Marblehead. It is a diflicult task to pick individual standouts from such a deep, well- balanced squad, but certain feats cannot be overlooked. Stars like Co-captain Bob Andrews, All-State guard Bob Browning, Tim Nevils, Richard Shulman, Mike Powers, Phil Janvrin, Bruce Jordan, and truly outstanding ends John Flanagan and Dick Coe made the Swampscott line one of the most formidable in years. The backfield provided the fans with many thrills: Ed Loveday's polished performance in directing the team from the quarterback slot and his five T.D. passes against Malden Catholic, Frank Cahoon's consistently bruising play and his almost single-handed job in leading the Big Blue to victory over Newburyport, the running of fleet backs Jack Milo and Phil Cudmoreg and the brilliant all-around play of All-State George Blais. All these and many other factors helped make the 1958 football season an extremely happy one for Coach Stan Bondelevitch and his staff, as well as for the team and every Here comes the big, big, BIG Blue . .

Such was the case with the 1958 Floradora girls, who had six victories and just one loss, which came in the opening game with Scituate. Undismayed, Coach Flora B. McLearn says that these South Shore champions will present a challenge to future Floradoras. After a week of reorganizing, the Floradoras bounced back to stomp Melrose. Determined not to have another poor show, the team continued to drive undaunted through every game until the last second of play. Captain Bonnie Bessette sparked the girls every minute, with the help of Jean Leger, Mary DiPrisco and Rose DiLisio. Bonnie Solar and Jean MacLean, together with our star goalie-cage decoration, Janet Hammonds, contributed strongly to the defense.

Mfjhllli' Bufalino takes one off the boards. The basketball team enjoyed a successful season this year, finishing second in the Northeast Confer- ence and earning a Tech Tourney berth. The tourney game was the most exciting encounter of the year, with the Big Blue being eliminated by St. Mary's of Waltham by the slim margin of one point. Captain George Blais and Bill Bufalino starred in the come- from-behind effort, which was made necessary by the team's inability to sink more than one basket in the first period. In regular Conference play, Coaches Martin and Andersen surprised the experts by coming up with a team which finished as runner-up to the perennial Conference powerhouse, Winthrop. Accurate shoot- ing and dependable playmaking by Blais and Bufalino, strong rebounding by John Flanagan and Paul Lange- vin, and good support from jack Milo, Ken Stein and Howie Frank gave the Blue a combination that swept all the season series except three. Woburn evened their series by winning at Swampscott in the second meeting of the year. Similarly, Amesbury won the sec- ond encounter, their win coming on their home court. The Martinmen had a lead in the last period of both Winthrop games, but were unable to hold their advan- tage on either occasion. On the other side of the ledger, the team posted rwo victories apiece against Danvers, Andover and Newburyport. The only game played against Marble- head resulted in a victory for Swampscott. Bill Bufalino was elected captain for next year. Coach Martin is hoping for the Conference crown next season, as he will have two of this year's starting live returning and many experienced players on the roster.

The 1959 Basketball Floradoras did give the ball to Theresa and slid, slid, slid right through the season undefeated. Coach Flora B. McI.earn and her assistant, Miss Mary Hanify, shaped this year's material into the pride of the Big Blue. Theresa Keating claimed high-scoring honors for the second year in a row, with pre- cision setups by Jean MacLean and big Barb Segel. Guards Nancy Carlyn, Bonnie Bessette, and Hilda Newman ably kept the opposi- tion down. All the teams who dared to challenge this year's Flora- doras were beaten back by a substantial margin. The first string's closest call was a 95-75 victory over Salem. The second team held their end up with an equally unblemished record, using the talents of janet Carlin, Linda Segel, Bonnie Solar, Mary Arroll, Sue Farwell, and Nancy Anderson. Their greatest vic- tory was a 49-2 blanket over Saugus. On the other end, Beverly gave them a 28-13 scare. Not all the credit for victory goes to the sure-shooting forwards, for Miss Hanify's guards did an excellent job in zone defense. The definite pattern the guards employ once they get the ball is just one reason for the team's success. Since the team's outstanding record was the result of long hours of practice and instruction under the supervision of our coaches, the only prompting next year's aggregation will need is Keep up the tradition.

HIGHLIGHTS This year's Big Blue hockey team has just com- pleted one of our school's most successful seasons in this sport. They compiled the remarkable record of 12 wins and no losses, but were held to two ties. Led by Captains Richard Coe and Bill Darling, his wing- mate, who were first and third respectively in the North Shore scoring race, the team had an abundance of scoring power. Co-captain Ed Lotti and Peter Gnaedinger were also standouts on defense. All four of these players were recently picked for the All- Stars. In the goal Bruce Jordan and Richard Leger shared the honors, with jordan taking on the greater part of the regular season play. The team also had a well-balanced second line with Phillips, Fuller, San- tanello, Loveday, and Garfield. Both Phillips and Ful- ler at some time were used in the first line. The top game of the year was with our newly named ice-rival, Lynn English. In this thriller the fans saw Ty Anderson's boys fall behind 2 to 0 through the second period, only to come back and win 3 to 2, to the great joy of the Big Blue followers. At the State Tourney, Swampscott didn't fare so well, partly due to sickness, but nothing should be taken away from the well-balanced Walpole team that defeated us 5 to 1.

There the trackmen, who en- joyed a very successful season last year, work out under Coach Lynch. This year's team has mud: young blood, with juniors john Engstrom and Stuart Bass as captains, and sophomores David Cor- bett and Toby Moore outstanding in the 880 and the mile respectively. In another section of the park, the baseball team, coached by Mr. Stevenson, goes through its paces. The team is expected to show the same hustle as last year's nine, which handed Winthrop, last year's Conference champion, its only defeat. With the expected improvement in hitting, this team could go all the way. The cheerleaders have a very full schedule of year-round activity, but spring means something special-new faces and new places-as tryouts are held to choose the nine regulars and two substitutes who will epitomize the spirit of the Big Blue for the ensuing year. Over at jackson Park another group of girls holds a serious practice session as the softball team gets ready for the second undefeated season in its HVC-YCHI' history. With many veterans returning from last year's unbeaten team, the future is bright for the Floradoras. Teeing off at Tedesco, the golf team, headed by two surviving lettermen, Brown and Nevils, and coached by Mr. Henshaw, hopes to better last year's commendable 7 and 2 record. On the diamond, the cinder path, and the green, prospects look good for the Big Blue this spring. S A . Y f 47 TALENT SHOW Since its debut at Swampscott High School three years ago, the Talent Show has grown in popularity and has become one of the most enjoyable activities of the school year. Although it is primarily a Senior fund- raising event, participation is not limited to members of the graduating class. Members of each class are in- vited to prepare an act and to audition for the show, keeping in mind that prizes will be awarded to the outstanding acts after the final performance. This year's show, Heck's A Poppin', produced and directed by Joel Rooks, and presented in the auditori- um on February 13 and 14, was a huge success. The acts were built around the light plot of a typical high-school student who comes home from school and spends his time viewing television rather than doing homework. Steven Erlich, who played the student, spent the afternoon Watching Big Blue Review with Lewis Engleman acting as the Master of Ceremonies. After dinner, he watched The Judy Kennedy Show and then went to bed, leaving his homework for study periods. Linda Bromberg was presented a bouquet of flowers for helping other acts with her musical accom- paniment. The award for the Most Appealing Act went to a group of senior girls - Mary DiPrisco, Jeanne Leger, Janet Hammonds, Barbara Juel, Mau- reen Dotolo, Sheila Ryan, Madeline Carey, and Nancy Carlyn-who danced to the tune of the Big Beat. Frank Klanfer, who sang several rock 'n' roll songs, won the Most Talented award. Our M.C.'s, Judy Kennedy and Lewis Engleman.

A toast to the holidays at the Christmas Dance. Dancing is smooth to the rhythm of the Serenaders. Ever-mindful of the adage All work an no play ..., the student body, having be come oriented quickly to the routine of clas ses and homework, enthusiastically welcome the first social event of the year. This fall after a successful Football Dance sponsore by the Seniors, the social whirl rapidl gained momentum as each class contribute to events on the calendar. The Sophomores held two novelty dances the first a Barn Dance in November, and th other a Saint Patrick's Dance in March. Th juniors arranged the traditional Beat Mar blehead Dance, which helped to inspire th Big Blue to victory on Thanksgiving Day Later, they held their all-important junio Prom with its elaborate theme and decora tions. The Freshmen tried their wings wit a Winter Carnival in January and decide that one successful venture was sufiicient fo their first year. In addition to sponsorin the colorful Christmas Dance, the Senior brought the social year to a close with a well planned Senior Week, climaxed by the Sen ior Prom. All this makes for a full progra which leaves happy memories as well as mor tangible souvenirs. Thirsty barn-dancers keep the refreshment committee busy. sf The Bunny Hop has charms for nearly everyone. K? SOCIAL CALENDAR FOOTBALL DANCE ,, . .,, , ,. ,. BARN DANCE . .. .

BAND NOTES The development of an appreciation of instrumental music is the prime purpose of the Swampscott High School Band. It offers various opportunities of cultural and educa- tional value and helps also to awaken a sense of responsibility and self-discipline in its members. Under the able direction of Mr. Donald Hammond, the eighty-one members participated in many musical events during the past year. The stirring marches, new formations, and novelty numbers executed by the Band and the Drill Team added much to the pleasure of the spectators at the football games. In October, the Band had a very successful candy sale, the proceeds of which were used to help defray the year's expenses. The first event of the concert season was the Inter- State Band Concert, held in Lynn on February 6 in conjunc- tion with school bands representing Auburn, Maine, East Providence, Rhode Island, and Lynn, Massachusetts. Two weeks later the S.H.S. group presented a program at the Lowell State Teachers College. In March the Band journeyed to Auburn, Maine, for a joint concert. A highlight of the year, the annual Spring Concert, took place on April 2. In appreciation of the support given the Band by the towns- people, no admission was charged. One of the most impres- sive events of the year was the Northeastern Conference, dur- ing which the Band was judged on both its marching and its instrumental accomplishments. In its final appearance of the year, the Band took part in the Memorial Day parade, adding much to the impressiveness and solemnity of the ceremonies. The success of the year was due in no small measure to the capable guidance of Mr. Hammond, who was able to in- still in all the members the enthusiasm necessary to carry out a full year's program. 3 2 Front row: B.

McLaughlin, has enjoyed a very interesting year. In October a large group of students tra- veled to New York to observe the United Nations in action and to see some of the sights of Manhattan. During the February vacation, a smaller group, com- prised chiefly of Seniors, set forth on a seven-day journey. TRAVEL CLUB Their itinerary included a three-day stop in New York, a visit to the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, and a four- day sojourn in Washington, where they had a full program of sight-seeing. Through these trips, the group accomplished its main objective: the coordination of fun with education. n An unexpected highlight of the Washington trip was a visit with the senior Senator from Massachusetts, the Honorable Leverett Saltonstall. Pictured above with Senator Saltonstall are the members of the Swampscott High group: but row: Marion Abrams, Dottie Brienza, Puss Prichard, Mrs. McLaughlin, Senator Saltonstall, Mr. McLaughlin, :econd row: Pamela Sherry, Rita Tanzella, Mary Lu Jewell, Rosemarie Gallo, Beth Stone, Sandra Romano, Ann Hughes, Joel Greenstein, Andrew Shulman, Martin Bock, rear row: Linda Zletz, janet Raper, Mr. Green, Janice Weinstein, Bar- ry Freedman, Paul Sherry, Dan Cahill, Louis Cotton, Louis Dexter, Arthur Greenbaum, Howard Meltzer.

CLASS OFFICERS HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1959 Left to right: Jack Milo, vice-president, Bonnie Solar, Jecretury, Richard Shulman, preudentf Tim Nevils, treasurer. Swarming up the down stairways and down the up stairways came the largest class ever to enter Swampscott High School. Inwardly we were filled with mixed emotions about the wide, wide world into which we had just embarked. Cold shivers of anticipation and fear crept through us as we hesitantly surveyed our new surroundings. The expert guidance and watchful eyes of our ad- visers steered us in the right direction toward a well- balanced scholastic program which was to develop consistently throughout our four years. By the time we were Sophomores, we had finally become adjusted to the various new and different types of courses: geo- metry, algebra, foreign languages, biology, speech, and typing. Homework was a necessary evil, and it wasn't uncommon to see most of us lugging five or six books home with us each night. However, it wasn't in vain, because in our junior year, for the first time in the history of S.H.S., four junior boys, Paul Fishbane, Larry Goodman, Carl jaffee, and Ted Simon, attained the remarkably high score of 800 in the Intermediate Mathematics Achievement Test. Richie Shulman was elected president of the National Honor Society, to which nine other members of our class were also elected. Never before had there been so many students elected at the junior level. This work for high scholas- tic achievement didn't stop at our junior year, for as Seniors, we saw the election of ten more of our class- mates to the National Honor Society, bringing the membership to a grand total of twenty, a new plateau. Two by two they came: two placed as semi-finalists in the National Merit Examinations and two others earned the Summum Bonum score in the Mathematics Aptitude Tests. Challenge for our exceptional students came in the form of the new physics and mathematical analysis courses. As the times changed so did our faculty, many new personalities arrived on the scene, while a few left. Miss Mary Shay, an alumna of S.H.S., replaced Mr. jenkin as a capable English teacher and yearbook adviser, and Miss Shirley Foley also joined the English Department. Mr. Francis MacDonald was added as a history instructor and athletic coach, while Mr. Harold Power took the place of Mrs. Bette Davis as head of the Speech Department. In the Business world, Miss Margaret O'Riordan and Mr. William Sasso were welcomed. The successes of our social activities and of our money-raising projects was due, for the most part, to our very able class advisers, Mr. Raymond Antell, who left at the end of our junior year, and Mr. Richard Bath, who took over the duties of the former. Our first attempts along these lines were in our sophomore year-the Sadie Hawkins' Day Dance, a gala affair, and the Valentines Day Dance, where Cupid was kept quite busy. As a result of these two dances, we were able to augment our meager class treasury, and with the security of one who has money in the bank, we made the disastrous decision of starting our colossal money-making business venture-selling stocking hats! This project will always bring embarrassed blushes to our faces, because the heads of our customers never seemed cold enough to warrant our hats. As a direct contrast, our senior year satisfied both the sweet tooth of the community and the demands of our in- sufficiently fattened treasury through the widespread sale of our waist-widening candy. The Swampscott pens were written in our books as a most fruitful un- dertaking. The Beat-Marblehead Dance kicked off the social season in our junior year, and, it was at the same time that our class shone brilliantly with its un- usually clever Thanksgiving Day rally decorations. March 17th saw the donning of nonsensical chapeaux for a very enjoyable St. Pat's Hat Hop. All of us mounted a horse on the Carousel for the last merry whirl of our junior year. Under the skillful supervision of Maryanne Callahan, the cooperation of our entire class made the junior Prom a fun-filled fete and a decorative delight in its scrumptious setting. Athletic development played an important part in our high school career, as first shown in our fresh- man year when our class was making its presence felt with an undefeated freshman football team. Richard Coe and Bill Darling assisted in shooting the puck for a commendable ice hockey season. As a quick follow- up to our freshman sports accomplishments, George Blais and Jack Milo, our sophomore varsity stars, kindled the football team with a spark which was to flare up to become a roaring blaze. The undefeated Big Blue of our junior year surged ahead and, in ad- dition to winning the Turkey Day game by the overwhelming score of 27-O, also clinched the Class B title and the Northeastern Conference championship for the first time. As a reward for the lucky boys and a torture for the widowed girls, the town sent the squad to Florida with funds collected by the players, Band members, and friends. The hockey team glided over the spiked path of the football team by capturing the Northeastern championship for the second time in a row. Not to be outdone by their male counterparts, the 'Floradora Girls saw sure victories ahead with our very own Theresa Keating in basketball and Bon- nie Bessette in field hockey. The girls' teams for the most part, have been undefeated, and their record is very admirable. New York, New York what a wonderful town - the Travel Club will vouch for that. Under the pa- ternal eye of Mr. John McLaughlin, we thoroughly enjoyed the U.N. Trip with its tall buildings and con- glomeration of people. The Washington Trip took in tours of the Capitol, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Bu- reau of Engraving, and was climaxed by a visit with Senator Leverett Saltonstall. The Travel Club, however, wasn't the only worldly orgainzation, for the Band had the honor of playing before the Massachusetts Music Educators' Convention, besides going to a combined band concert at Auburn, Maine. Throughout our four years at S.H.S., our class played an important role in the traditional Talent . - Show. When we were Sophomores and juniors, we participated vigorously and practically walked away with all the top prizes. In our senior year, our Heck's- A-Poppin' really popped with a large percentage of Seniors acting and all the classes joining forces to help the very able producer-director, joel Rooks, present one of the finest and most appealing shows ever given at Swampscott High School. Our fantabulous Senior Prom touched off Senior Week with its many deep-rooted and wonderful memories. Looking forward to all that's before us and remembering the good times we've had together, we shall soon leave behind our wide, wide world of high school. Gerry Hershenson and Linda Owens, co-chairmen put finishing touches on our prize-winning decoration in the pre-Thanksgiving contest. 'Wu THess1' Around the world . . .

V Yearbooks are not produced by just a few, they are the result of the combined efforts of many. As co-editors, we wish to acknowledge our gratitude to those who have contributed to the 1959 Sea Gull. To our several staffs--Art, Editorial, Layout, and Typing-we should like to offer our thanks for a job well done. Of course, the Sea Gull would never have gotten off the ground if it were not for the Business Staff and its fine work with subscriptions and sponsors. We are grateful to Miss Mary M. Chaisson for her graciousness in allowing us to use her room and for her cooperation on the cover and division pages. Our final and deepest thanks go to our advisers- to Mr. Richard W. Pavesi for his supervision of the Business Staff, and especially to Miss Mary E. Shay for her overall direction of the produc- tion of the 1959 Sea Gull. Class historians were Lynda Cohen and Bonnie Solar, '59, Eleanor Addison, '60, Ruth Feldman and Janet Goldman, '61, and Virginia Grimes, '62. The cover for the 1959 Sea Gull was designed by Bon- nie Bessette, '59. WIDE, WIDE WORLD YX 7'--J'-a'aWs5A??l.f 'Gal 11 '31 ? 'Xl1'K1i'1?' f -IAM! 51. .
