FOREWORD The opening and closing of doors nr.: among the most significant acts of a man's life. -Christopher Morley Within the doors of Swampscott High School, we members of the Class of 1961 have had varied experiences during four years which will soon be memories to all of us. In each of these years, count- less doors were opened to us, offering entrance not only into a place but also into knowledge, challenge, recreation, and friendship. Our 1961 Sea Gull re- cords the story of our last year at Swampscott High. The doors into the building itself, and those leading into the classrooms, the library, the gym, the audi- torium, the oflice - all have their own significance for usg and around them we have centered our year- book. Here at Swampscott High School we have sought truth, the key which unlocks innumerable doors. It will continue to do so for us long after we have passed for the last time as pupils through the memory-filled doors of Swampscott High. DE DICATIGN Miss Margaret A. O'Riordan Salem Teachers College, B.S.g Shorthand, Typewritingg Sales- manshipg Senior Class Adviser. to M33 Margaret A. Ofiordan From the time that we were assigned to our auditorium homerooms as ninth graders to the final days of our senior year, Miss O'Riordan has been much more to our class than an adviser. She has been a true friend. Miss O'Riordan has always given us the greatest encouragement and assistance in all of our ideas and plans. We have been proud, after each of our successes, to be able to say that she was our inspiration and guide. Thus, we, the Class of 1961, respectfully dedicate our yearbook to Miss Margaret O'Riordan, who, by her sincere interest, able guidance, and warm enthusiasm for all our projects, has given to our grateful class happy memories of four unforgettable years. Miss O'Riordan dictates to Shorthand II pupils Judy and Irma. ADMINISTRATION PRINCIPAL SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS JAMES H. DUNN ROBERT D. FORREST Colby, B.S.g Harvard, M.Ed.

An expression which we have been hearing quite often during this year of political changes is new frontier. Here at S.H.S. we, too, are aware of the many implications of these words. If we are to meet successfully the standards of the new frontier which awaits us beyond our high school doors, we must be thoroughly prepared. Swampscott High School aims for such preparedness through its varied and chal- lenging curriculum. Innovations begun last year as a result of intensive self-evaluation by the faculty and a study made by a visiting committee from the New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools have shown their true value this year. At S.H.S. each student has an opportunity to choose for himself, with the advice of counselors, the course of study best suited to him. Three years of English and one year of American History are com- pulsory for all. The College Preparatory Course seeks to stimulate a desire for intellectual attainment, and to prepare those taking the course for institutions of higher learning. Students taking the College Course may elect mathematics ranging from general math to calculus. Biology, physics, physical science, and chemistry are offered by the Science Department, while the Language Department offers French, Latin, and Spanish. In the field of social studies, Modern 'SIXTY-ONE Before starting construction of a bookcase, Billy works his wood through the electric plane. In Home Economics, Vicki and jackie start a new project.

The Business Course provides practical experience for those entering the world of business after gradu- ation. English, language, and history courses are also an integral part of the business curriculum. The Industrial Arts Course develops vocational skills which are of inestimable worth to those enrolled. The Home Economics Course emphasizes instruction which will help girls to achieve more satisfying home living. The English Department has continued to place strong emphasis on the written composition in all English courses. Senior classes are finding a new text, American Comporition and Rhetoric by Donald Davidson, helpful in developing writing skills. A critical review and study of the drama has also been added to the senior course. Added to the facilities of the Language Department have been a new pro- jector, tape recorder, and record player. Aural-oral work in French classes has been increased not only in advanced groups but in French I as well. The Science Department has continued an ad- vanced physics course begun experimentally last year under the direction of the Physical Science Study SHS chemists discover the trut-h for themselves during weekly lab per- iods. Committee. The chemical bond approach of the study of chemistry has been added to the present course in order to prepare students for work on a higher plane. Project work in biology has been en- couraged to take the place of laboratory periods. Although no new courses in modern mathematics as such have been added to the curriculum this year, as many new topics as possible are introduced into traditional courses. Graduates of Swampscott High have had high praise for the course entitled Intro- duction to College Mathematics, which has helped them to do very successful work at the college level. The Social Studies Department has made effective use of a new tape recorder, movie projector, record player, and film strip projector. These aids supplement the traditional methods of study and give students a clearer understanding of past problems and their relation to the present day. Designed to include all those areas of knowledge that students will need in a business career, the pro- gram of the Business Department is extensive. In order to keep students informed as to recent trends in business equipment, local businessmen have been invited to give demonstrations of such machines as to the anew fr0nt1'er'. . Nancy can work in a wide range of areas, from cartoons for Swamprcotta to ceramics, in Miss Chaisson's art classes. the I.B.M. Keypunch, the electric typewriter, and the Odhner. Field trips have been helpful in acquaint- ing students with modern business procedures. Civil Service Tests for typists and stenographers were given at the high school in March by Mr. John Mullaine, Civil Service Director of Salem. Expamion was the key word in the Industrial Arts Department this yeart. A complete cut-away auto engine has been added as a teaching aid in automotives. Field trips and motion pictures were employed to make the program of study still mote stimulating. The Industrial Arts show window served to present an attractive display of the work done in the department and the material included in the program. Our Home Economics Department is concerned with the whole picture of running a home and raising a familyg consequently the curriculum includes a great deal more than just cooking and sewing. Home Economics classes provide a flexible laboratory situ- ation where the girls develop the social resonsibility, respect, and understanding for one another that is democracy in action. The course aims to bring out in the girls the social poise and creative skill that will make for a happy home life now and in the future. I am the artist is the central theme under which students in the Art Department have been working. The overall purpose of the course is to encourage individual expression through a variety of materials. The Speech Department seeks to develop poise and forensic forcefulness in its students. Speech I classes, meeting three periods a week, concentrate on the fundamentals of speaking - voice, diction, and poise. Speech II, which meets twice weekly, stresses drama and group discussion. The Music Department provides opportunities for instrumental and vocal training and also sponsors many performances for the student body. Library training is given to all first- yeat students. They, like the upperclassmen, make use of the libraty's well-supervised and well-equipped facilities throughout the year. An innovation in the Guidance Department has been the use of tape re- cordings about various occupations. Again this year, a series of meetings was held for juniors and their parents with reference to college admission. At Swampscott High School we all agree that scholarship is the key to the new frontier. Our curriculum is set up to provide each pupil with his own key to success. chines course.

Paper rush is over. 16 Whatever one's individual interests may be, S.H.S. has organizations to provide for their pursuit and development in the company of fellow-students and faculty advisers. One efficient service group is the Library Club, sponsored by Miss Trickey. In addi- tion to their daily work in checking books and assist- ing pupils with research problems, the girls plan special events at weekly meetings at which Lois Dermer and Susan Goldberg preside. Activities held this year include a book fair and auction, donation of books to Morgan Memorial, and a gala club party. The Amateur Radio Club enjoyed a very active year under the direction of its adviser, Thomas Eickelberger. New classes in code and radio theory, field trips to electronics plants and radio stations, installation of a new antenna on the school roof, improvement of school radio equipment, and the in- stallation of a six-meter transceiver built by club members were all part of the busy schedule. S.H.S. is one of a small number of schools in the state hav- ing a government-licensed radio station. Its call numbers, KIBCL, were assigned by the F.C.C. In addition to serving as an aid to pupils interested in the electronics field, the club provides the means for its members to talk with other radio amateurs throughout the world. Now in its fourth year, the organization known as the Guidance Missiles helps to coordinate activities of the Guidance Department under Mrs. Mary Cooper by serving as a liaison with homerooms. Members also have assisted at several vocational assemblies and have acted as aides to visiting repre- sentatives from colleges. ln writzhg and deszgn.

It covers all phases of school life, curricular and extra- curricular, and provides an opportunity for members of all classes to work in its publication and financing. From the beginning of September, Co-editors Barbara Tolpin and Kevin Leonardi, under the guiding hand of Miss Mary E. Shay, worked with a large staff to produce the 1961 Sea Gull. Among their goals was that of emulating the success of their predecessors in BUSINESS AND TYPING STAFF S Sealed: Sandra Ginsberg, Mar- jorie Kunian, Janet Goldman, Eleanor Zenis, Barbara Fermon, Beverly Siskind, Tom Santanel- lo, Meri Leavitt, Elizabeth Ap- pel.

Business managers Beverly Siskind, Barbara Fermon, and Tom Santanel- lo, supervised by William A. Sasso, carried out a new promotion plan, the Take a Time contest, with marked success. Miss Mary M. Chaisson's instruction and advice were of inestimable help to the busy lay- out staff. Finally, headed by Lois Cappucio, the typists prepared copy for the printer. Thus another Sea Gull came into being. Patrikis, William Weissman. x. .W ..

Anticipation mounts in mid-autumn and late win- ter as the dates of the Travel Club's annual trips to New York and Washington, D.C., approach. The one-day excursion to New York City is an ideal opportunity to tour the United Nations, as well as to get a bird's eye view of America's largest city. Foremost on the itinerary is the U.

The eight-day trip to Washington is eagerly awaited by all the prospective travelers. Supervising this year's trip, which promises to be memorable as usual, is Mr. Harris jameson. After stop-overs in New York and Philadelphia, and a journey through the Pennsylvania countryside and Maryland, the members arrive in the nation's capital. They will always remember the Washington, Lincoln, and jef- ferson Memorials, the White House, the Capitol Building, the Smithsonian Institute, and all the other world-famous buildings.

With Miss Marjorie White as adviser, the junior- Senior Math Club aims to promote an interest in areas of mathematics not included in the classroom curriculum. At regularly scheduled meetings led by oflicers Eddie Bloomberg, president, Sidney Stein, vice-president, Deborah Ross, secretaryg and Marshall Sneirson, treasurer, the members discussed such topics as topology, magic squares, finite geometric systems, and number systems. A flourishing Sophomore Math Club, advised by James Murphy, introduces first-year students to some of the more intricate aspects of the subject which they will encounter in the future. Recognition for academic achievement is given at Swampscott High by the National Honor Society. Membership in this organization is a prize treasured by each member - truly an honor to be upheld to the best of one's ability. Few of the members will forget the inspiring initiation ceremony when they symbolically lit their candles from the lamp of knowledge, promised to live up to high standards, and received their pins and certificates from Mr. Dunn and Mr. Blossom, the faculty adviser. It is not dillicult to understand why the Inter- national Relations Club has succeeded in attracting so large a membership. Any student who has attended the Annual Conference of the American Field Service, the School of International Relations at M. I. T., or the mock U. N. Day at Harvard Uni- versity, can vouch for their timeliness and import- ance. Through informal panel discussions on such topics as national elections, Latin America, and the Algerian situation, lectures and conferences, the members gain knowledge of some of the problems of our fast-paced, modern world. Math Club President Eddie Bloomberg leads members in a discussion of the integration pro- cess of summation - a formidable subject to many of us.

For development of skills SWAMPSCOTTA Swamprcotta offers the student body, faculty, and alumni the best in S.H.S. literary and artistic endea- vors. The publ'ication also affords its staff members valuable experience in editing, writing, and financing. Under the guidance of Mr. Walter R. Henshaw, Edi- tor-in-Chief Deborah Ross, Associate Editors Patricia Davis, Sidney Stein, Virginia Grimes, and Karen Ny- lander, and Business Managers Marjorie Kunian and Patricia Polisson produced this year's three issues. The assistance of Miss Mary M. Chaisson's art staff and of the squad of typists is a vital element in Swamp- .rcottait excellence. The present editors have worked to maintain the high reputation of the magazine and to prepare for the annual Globe magazine competition. The series of Globe Editors' Conferences has provided them with further practical experience in journalism, as has a weekly high school news column in the Lynn Item, which furnishes local readers information about Cur- rent activities. Swamprcotta, in existence since 1928, condenses each school year into its editorial, literary, sports, ex- change, alumni and humor sections, and gives infor- mation and entertainment to its readers.

FOOTBALL FACTS Great school spirit, excellent teamwork and coaching, and hard work were the ingredients of a successful Big Blue season, as Swampscott won six games and lost three. Having lost several outstanding players by graduation, Coach Stan Bondelevitch had to start from scratch as he and the other coaches combined to build a winning team. The Big Blue was able to topple such worthy opponents as Woburn, Andover, Winthrop, Amesbury, Classical, and Newburyport. Swampscott opened with a strong showing as the Blue and White crushed Andover, 38-8, chalking up six touchdowns. The line was very impressive this year as the season progressed. Jim Randell, George Forbes, and Red Coughlin were the mainstays of the line while Dick Fuller alternated between the guard and fullback slot to help out the fleet-footed backlield stars, john Dilisio, Dana Coughlin, and Ron Corcoran. Passing by Dan Goodwin and Bill Loveday was deadly to our foes this year, as aetials counted as many as three scores in one game. In one of the most exciting games in a long time, the Swampscotters held Marblehead's strongest team in its history to a 6-6 tie for all but four minutes of the game, only to be edged in the last minutes, 12-6. The Big Blue compiled impressive yardages on the ground and in the air as they scored 176 points while holding the opposition to 96. Things look bright for next year when co-captains Dick Fuller, Ron Corcoran and Dana Coughlin will lead the Blue and White to what we hope will be another successful season.

Coach McLearn and Captain Nancy An- derson reflect their satisfaction with the current season. 28 The 1960 field hockey season opened on October 13 after weeks of practice under the excellent coaching of Mrs. Flora McLearn and Miss Mary Hanifey. At Melrose, both the first and second teams emerged victorious, with scores of 4-1 and 3-2. The team's hopes for a successful season were raised as they headed for Reading to play their second game. The outcome found the first team a 5-1 winner, while the 10-0 second-team rally set an impressive scoring record for this area. The Floradoras made their presence known at the Hockey Field Day in Newton on October 22 by being one of the few teams to win all three of its games. The girls defeated Plymouth 1-0, Newbury- port, 5-Og and Arlington, 2-0. On October 25 the Swampscott girls met their greatest challenge. After an exciting game, the Shore Country Day girls carried home a 2-0 victory. Making up for this misfortune was the second team's sweep, 1-0, to continue their undefeated streak. Swampscott traveled to Stoneham on November 1. This game proved difficult, as the team was able to penetrate the Stoneham nets but once. A menacing storm blew up over Phillips Park on November 7, when Lynnheld, determined to defeat the Floradoras two years in a row, lined up against an equally set-to-win Swampscott team. The ending whistle blew on a disappointing 0-0 tie. The second team stepped in to push over one goal, winding up their season undefeated. The final game of the season saw the girls at Saugus. The forward line combined skills to add four more goals to their record and threatened the Saugus nets throughout the contest. None of us' will ever forget those practices extending until dusk, the innumerable divots matting the playing field, Miss Hanifey's im- mortal words, Carol, when .will you ever move to Marblehead! g Di- ana's Minnie Mouse shoes, blisters, and, last but not least, Mrs. Mc- Learn's much-repeated All right, two laps around the field for being late again. Many moods are evident as the team awaits the FIELD HOCKEY In the victory over Saugus, Nancy leads the Swampscott surge. SUMMARY Swarnpscott ...... ...., 4 Melrose .

HOOP HIGHLIGHTS Coach Hal Martin really had his work cut out for him this year, since only two starters remained from last year's squad. The team greatly lacked height and experi- ence, but what they lacked in these departments they certainly made up in spirit, Swampscott finished in fifth place with a record of six wins and eight losses. Since the Conference was exceptionally well balanced, the top five teams were very close throughout the season. Cap- tain Dan Tolpin and Al DiPierro of Winthrop tied for a new foul-shot record as each dumped in 101 points from the charity line. After an initial loss to Andover, the Blue and White employed a tight defensive game. In their second start, they completely surprised Conference-leader Danvers as they went on to win 41-32. In the biggest thriller of the season, the Martinmen edged Woburn 35-34. With Woburn ahead 34-33, Swampscott got the ball with four seconds remaining, and called a time out. The tip went in to Tolpinf In he went and he didn't miss. The fans nearly brought the house down. Big disappointments were twin losses to Marblehead in the final days of the season. Along with Tolpin, several other players who con- sistently turned in good performances were Ray Hen- nessey, Pete Smith, Neil Denenberg, Bob Arnold, and Toby Moore. Dan Tolpin was elected captain for his second year, following the final Marblehead game. The J.V.'s came out victorious in three of their games. With several of this year's starters returning next year, there are high hopes for a winningtseason in 1962. Ray Hennessey takes a quick jump shot from inside the foul line.

FEMININE FINESSE Swampscott's Floradora girls started the 1961 season with high hopes of continuing their outstanding record of undefeated play. The opening game was played on the home court and found the Swampscott girls pitted against one of their greatest rivals, Lynnfield. The game proved successful, as the Floradoras' first and second teams emerged victorious with scores of 44-25 and 26-15. The following week the girls boarded the bus for Beverly. Again they proved too much for their opponents. As the final period ended, the scoreboard read Swampscott 66, Beverly 55. The next game was played on the home court against Saugus. Before an enthusiastic group of faithful rooters the girls smothered the Saugus team by a score of 68-4. The Floradora girls faced Reading as their next opponent. The first team easily overcame Readings first with a score of 47-14. The second teams' game proved to be more exciting as Swampscott squeezed out a 28-24 victory. The following week saw Malden buried by the continuous accurate shots of both first and second teams. Next the Swampscott girls traveled to Lynnfield, to find themselves facing a team firmly set to break Swamp- scotts' long winning streak. Trailing in the Hrst three quarters, Swampscott had its guards change their pattern of defense from zone to man-to-man. This move proved to be the turning point of the game. The final score was 51-41. Soon after, Swampcott played hostess to a comparatively new Gloucester team. The Floradoras came through with a sweeping victory of 52-17. How- ever, the inevitable day finally arrived, when the Melrose girls played hostess to the Floradoras. A highly spirited team put an end to the proudly-held undefeated record of Swampscott. The scores were 42-27 for the first team and 22-21 for the second. The final game was a return match with Beverly. The season ended happily with the Floradoras once again on top, 45-31. This victory raised hopes that the future basketball teams will build up a new winning streak. Co-captains Sue Farwell and Nancy Anderson.

Like last year, they ended the season in a solid fourth place in the Northeast Conference. In doing so, the boys com- piled a record of eight wins, iive losses, and one tie. Because of the loss of several starters through gradu- ation, S.H.S. had a very young team. Four of the players on our first two lines were sophomores. These boys - Rocky Rothwell, Bill Hinch, Steve Santanello, and Ty Andersen - have very bright futures in high school hockey. Two boys from the Big Blue made the All-Stars this year -- Richie Fuller, who so ably filled the spot vacated by Peter Gnaedinger at defense, and John Dilisio, who ended' the season as the league's fourth- highest scorer. While compiling their 8-5-1 record, the boys of the Big Blue engaged in some very exciting contests, the best undoubtedly being the Hnal game against Malden Catholic. Right up to the meeting with this team, there was a strong possibility of participating in the league playoffs. In that decisive match, Malden Catholic, the eventual League winner, went ahead early with three goals. The Big Blue started a comeback with two quick goals, but got under way a bit too late and fell short by one marker. After the final game, Richie Fuller was elected captain of the ice squad for next year. He will be assisted by Bill Hinch and jock White. Co-captains Richard Berry and john DiLisio.

With the advent of a new season comes the thought of new athletic activities at Swampscott High School. At this time last year the students were hoping for another good season, and their hopes proved to be well founded. The track team, under the capable direction of Mr. Lynch, had a fine season last year. The team compiled a 5-2 record while finishing third in the Northeast Conference. This spring, with the help of Dave Corbett, Alan Salerno, Bobby Arnold, Steven Engstrom, Peter Stevens, and Toby Moore, the team should come out on top. This year's golf team, under Coach Walter Henshaw, is a senior squad. Kevin Leonardi, team captain, Roger Volk, Billy Weissman, Dick Fermon, and Rick Spence comprise the membership. As juniors the boys ended the season with a 6-6 record. This gave them fourth place in the Northeast Conference. With the entire team returning this year, they have an excellent chance of improving their standing in the Conference. Mr. Stevenson and his baseball team are looking forward to some good competition on the diamond. Because of the mid-season loss of Tom Sentner, one of the leagues best pitchers, the squad was left in a precarious position last year. However, Tom is ready to go again, and this fact presages a good season. Returning this year to help the cause are Tom Corcoran, Dan Tolpin, Richie Fuller, Phil McTague, Mike janvrin, and George Forbes. The girls have their share of the spring spotlight, too. Mrs. McLearn's softball team came up with a 3-1 record last year. Among the girls expected to play prominent parts this season are Janet Carlin, captain, Sue Farwell, Liz Burwen, Barbara Fermon, Susan Garfield, Camille Gatto, Ronnie Reimer, and Sally Harkins. All in all, prospects are bright on the track, links, and diamond. 36 if GOLF TEAM Mr. Henshaw, coachg Richard Spence, Kevin Leonardi, cap- taing Roger Volk, William Weissman, Richard Fermon. if X fwikgg f Y S Q - A Th Q-wig: S Q NK ,N .1-w .-an M mg M- NM - , MW.

CLASS HISTORY Our junior year is one that we shall never forget. It was in this year that we realized that the Class of '62 was no longer the baby of the school. Now that we are uppetclassmen, however, we realize that graduation is only one year away. Our first major task this year was class elections, which proved to be very competitive. After taking three votes of the entire class, we found that the follow- ing were successful: president, Richard Fullerg vice- president, Danny Tolpin, secretary, Debbie Werner, and treasurer, Kathy Carey. Those juniors who rep- resent us in the Student Council are David Coughlin, Kathy Carey, Richard Fuller, Genevieve Gallo, Peter Gross, Kathy Hubbs, Lissa Mayo, Henry Legere, Phyl- lis Ramputi, Peter Pietrowski, Tommy Sentner, and Hayes Sogoloff. Our Class of '62 has displayed great spirit in all S.H.S. activities. We had six juniors on the starting football line-up this fall and many more on the squad as substitutes. The 1961 Big Blue squad will be led by our co-captains Richard Fuller, Ronald Corcoran, and Dana Coughlin. We have contributed generously to the beauty and glamor of our cheerleading and drill team squads through Debbie Werner, Lissa Mayo, Kathy Carey, Mary Roy, Margaret Wotton, Marsha Townsend, and Kathy Hubbs. We have also experienced sadness and loss. Betsey Loveday, our newly elected field hockey captain, was fatally injured in a tragic and unfortunate automobile accident. The entire school, and especially our class, mourn her death. Swampscott High's ice hockey and field hockey teams were both well supported by the junior class. The girls' basketball team would not have enjoyed such a successful season without the great playing of some of our junior players. Danny Tolpin, a member of our class, is captain of the boys' basketball team. Under the direction of our class adviser, Mt. Michaels, the Class of '62 sponsored the Beat Marble- head dance held in November. Lou Marino's Band provided the music and a wonderful evening was added to our achievements. Virginia Grimes and Karen Nylander became as- sociate editors of Swamprcotta this year, and the staff included many other juniors. The Ski Club, Math Club, International Relations Club, Band, and Glee Club all boasted of a large membership of juniors. As we approach the end of our junior year, the Class of '62 looks back upon a very successful year of scholastic, social, and athletic accomplishments. We have climbed to the top of the Hill and we have sur- vived there, and we are now ready to face out final and most important year. We know that we will never forget Swampscott High School, and we hope that Swampscott High will always remember its Class of '62, R R SN x Q x fy ig?

CLASS OF 'SIXTY-TH REE CLASS HISTORY Following our graduation from the Shaw Junior High School and our summer vacation, we, the Sopho- more Class, entered Swampscott High School on September 7, 1960. Our first reaction was one of be- wilderment, since many of us, being unfamiliar with the building, encountered confusion in finding our assigned class rooms. By the end of September how- ever, most of us were well adjusted to our new en- vironment. In November, we elected the following students as our class ofiicers: Robert Hutchinson, president, janet Martin, vice-president, Linda Babin, secretary, and Judi Kaufman, treasurer. Next came the election of two representatives from each home- room to the Student Council. Some sophomores participated in the comedy Time Out for Ginger, which was presented by the Dramatics Club early in the winter. Many of us joined the Ski Club and found the trips enjoyable. At this time also, sophomores received various posi- tions on the Sea Gull and Swamprcotm staffs. In athletics the junior varsity football team had a successful season under the able supervision of Coach Leon Marden. The basketball and hockey seasons proved equally successful. Throughout the year, the school administration arranged to have qualified individuals speak to us on timely issues, one of the most notable was a japanese speaker who compared and contrasted Japanese and American youths. Mrs. Cooper and Mr. Marden of the Guidance Department also invited many guests who spoke on the opportunities existing in various vocations. An orientation program to familiarize sophomores with the high school library was included in the cur- riculum of the English Department, under the gui- dance and supervision of our librarian, Miss Kathe- rine Trickey. As our first social venture, we were the sponsors of Cupid's Caper on February 11, 1961. It was one of the most successful activities in which the class engaged during the year. Later, many sophomores showed their lively spirit and demonstrated their talents in song, dance, and comedy in the annual Talent Show, which took place on March 10 and 11. The arrival of spring brought another successful athletic season in baseball, track, and golf for the boys, and softball for the girls. With spring also came our first opportunity to attend a junior Prom. In the latter part of june we participated for the first time in the two-hour final examinations. Most of us agreed it was an experience that we are not soon to forget. We are deeply indebted to our class adviser, Mr. Robert Hayden, because the success of our social activities during the school year is due largely to the help which he so willingly and earnestly gave us. We believe that our first year at Swampscott High School has been profitable and rewarding.

SOUTH PACIFIC Most memorable of the dances of our high school days are the junior and Senior Proms. The former marks the beginning, and the latter marks the ending, of a very important year. For the Class of '61, the beginning came on May 6, 1960. Making decorations for the junior Prom began in February under the leadership of Louis Gallo. When April vacation ar- rived, the Ostrovitz cellar was filled with eager wor- kers. Pink carnations - cut, tied, and fluifed - materialized out of tissue. Butterflies hovered on the cellar ceiling. Rolls of exotic murals stood in corners, waiting to transform the S.H.S. gym into a Hawaiian paradise. When May 6 dawned, carnations lined the lowered ceiling and butterflies flew among them. The murals completed the South Pacific setting, which seemed breath-takingly beautiful when prom-goets fl- nally stepped through the arbor at the entrance to dance to Lou Marinds music. In the course of the eventful evening, President Bob Arnold presented Miss O'Riordan with a beauti- ful Hawaiian lei in appreciation of the many hours she had spent with the class in preparation for the unforgettable dance. Lois' wrap is left in care of Ted, one of the under- classmen whose willing services traditionally make prom night a smooth success.

RALLYING POINTS Our Big Blue football season is climaxed by the Thanksgiving Day game. Almost as eagerly antici- pated is the Beat Marblehead Rally, following the Thanksgiving Assembly. After a thought-provoking message from Principal James Dunn and the reading of the Governors Proclamation, the 1960 rally went into full swing. Participants and audience were noticeably camera-conscious as a man from Station WBZ-TV filmed highlights of the proceedings, por- tions of which were televised the next day. Thus this year's rally featured a memorable S.H.S. f1rst. With their unique mobile Big Blue Marlin, the seniors won the decoration contest, and they also took the eagerly awaited cheering competition. The cheerleaders' excellent work in conducting the rally did much to increase the team's will to win, and an especially fine performance was given by the band and drill team. Traditionally the coaches and several players are called upon to speak. Their messages were succinct, and as usual Coach Bondelevitch injected both humor and inspiration into his remarks. Exciting was the beginning and heartwarming was the ending of the rally when, to the roll of drums and blare of horns, the student body marched out to do or die for Swampscott High. Before the rally, David Landry reads the Governor's Thanksgiving Day Proclamation. 53 while members of the cast and crew hinder hrs efforts.

The hit comedy - Yime Uut for Clhger Early in the season, Swampscott High's drama enthusiasts began work on the old-time Broadway hit comedy Time Out for Ginger, written by Ronald Alexander. Presented on the evening of December 9, 1960, the play provided enjoyment for the cast and the large audience alike. The plot centers around a suburban family with three teenage daughters and the resultant tribulations. Ginger, fourteen, still filled with the tomboy instinct, wants to play on the football team, Jeannie, sixteen is imbued with the desire to become a great actress, and Joan, eighteen, is en- tangled in her dating dilemmas. Their parents and the maid try patiently to tolerate and direct the girls' capricious activities. The climax comes when Ginger achieves her ambition, to the consternation of many and the joy of her proud father. A good deal of hard work goes along with all the glory of presenting a play. The cast spent almost two months rehearsing under the guidance of the director, Mr. Harold I. Power, before opening night. In ad- dition to the cast and Mr. Power, many other students and teachers gave their services supervising all the behind-the-scenes business - sets, lighting, sound effects, properties, costumes, make-up, tickets, ushers, and aides. Together, all worked to achieve a highly successful production, which set a high standard at S.H.S. Like father, like daughter . . .

Pringle, S. Sloan, J. Barnett Assistant Drum Major Peter Gross and Drum Major Donald Weinstein reflect the pride that is felt by all the members of the band. September 1960 marked the ofhcial opening of another successful season for our High School Band. Under the leadership of Drum Major Donald Weinstein and Assistant Drum Major Peter Gross, the band started the football season with a full marching complement of eighty members. With the assistance of the drill team, the band entertained at each Saturday football game with colorful formations and arrangements. The many stirring matches, new formations, and novelty numbers prac- ticed by both the band and drill team added much to the festivities of the biggest game of the season, on Thanksgiving Day. Under the gaze of a capacity crowd, the musical group offered a completely new program to climax the 1960 marching season. After the fall activities had ended, no time was wasted in organizing the concert band, which immediately began preparing for a full schedule of coming events. Seasonal events for our concert band ranged from fund-raising performances to exchange concerts and district conventions with neighboring high schools. Funds for the year's expenses came from the proceeds of a candy sale held .in October. On February 3, the band presented its first offering of the concert season, in collaboration with the Lynn High School Band. Next followed a Music Festival held at Woburn, an annual event at which the band is judged on its marching and instrumental accomplishments. In April and May the concert band took part in an exchange program with its counterpart at Gardner High School. In the final appearance of the 1960-61 season, the band marched in the annual Memorial Day parade in appreciation of the sup- port given the group by the townspeople. It has always been the primary purpose of the band to offer cultural advantages by developing in its members a lasting appreciation of instru- mental music. None of this year's accomplishments during the football and concert seasons could have been possible without the guidance of Mr. Donald Hammond. Under his direction, the band was able to carry out successfully one of the busiest seasonal programs it has ever under- taken. Marilyn and Meri proudly dls play a poster advertising one of the most enjoyable features of our band's concert season. To the amusement of Mr. Hammond and the rest, Pete tries a solo on his homemade trumpet during a last-period lesson. CH EERLEADE RS Front: Patricia Davis, janet Goldman, captaing Elizabeth Burwen.

DRILL TEAM One of the most colorful of the Drill T eam's routines has a patriotic note. CU RLS AND TWIRLS Among the foremost activities for the girls at Swampscott High School is participation in two groups, the Cheerleaders and the Drill Team. These two organizations give the distalf side a chance to display their loyal spirit and to add colorful enter- tainment to the boys' sports. Under the supervision of Mrs. McLearn, the Drill Team combined their acrobatic and dance steps with umbrellas and shakers to present several unique rou- tines this year. With the assistance of Mr. Bertram, the girls demonstrated their ability tolead the band when they combined with it to march in the street parades. Especially noticeable this year was the addi- tion of the use of flags in the performances. In rain or shine, the Cheerleaders encouraged the spirit of the student body with their energetic yells. The girls created several new spirit-rousers which they performed for the first time during the rally before the opening game of the football season. And what would the Thanksgiving rally be like without the enthusiasm aroused by Captain janet and Pat, Sue, Judy, Lissa, Kathy, Debbie, Diana, and Liz? Throughout the basketball season, too, the cheering squad followed the varsity to all the games, giving the boys support and the spectators enjoyment. At the traditional Thanksgiving game, the Drill Team, with the cooperation of the Cheerleaders, per- formed a successful enactment of a meeting of the United Nations. As a result of these ventures, both participants and spectators fully enjoy the activities of the Cheerleaders and Drill Team. i I Swinging in the rain . . .

CHRISTMAS DANC E E Carol, Bob, Judy, and Mike exchange gifts and season's greetings under the tree. All work and no play is hardly the case in most peoples lives today. Here at S.H.S. We believe in a judicious mixture of the two, in order to build school spirit as well as to provide a variety of social activities for the whole student body. With the coming of Halloween, the social season at Swampscott High had swung into action. For their first undertaking of the year, the seniors sponsored the Barn Dance. They also arranged the traditional Christmas Dance to mark the beginning of the holiday activities. Cli- maxing the social events for the Class of '61 was their un- forgettable Senior Prom. Underclassmen did their share in transforming the usually austere gym into a place of festivity. The sopho- mores held a Valentines Day dance on February ll. The juniors launched their activities with the Beat Marblehead Dance. In May came the highlight of their year, the junior Prom. Contributing to the social life of S.H.S. were other or- ganizations besides classes. The Student Council ran a Back-to-School hop in the fall. The Ski Club held its second annual Winter Carnival and Ball. Time Out for Ginger, the School Play, and the Talent Show, sponsored by the seniors, added a change of pace to the schedule. The Christmas tree adds magic to the even- ing for Rich and Meri. 61 I SKI CLUB Ski Club ofiicers janet Carlin, Mike janvrin, and Sue Farwell have had plentiful snow right around S.H.S. on which to practice their skiing techniques this winter. ARCTIC ANTICS Swampscott I-Iigh's Ski Whacks enjoyed an eventful season this snowy year under the supervision of the club adviser, Ralph B. Earle. Our many ski enthusiasts took trips to Mt. Sunapee, Mt. Pleasant, and Mt. Snow. A new addition to the club's belong- ings was a movie camera purchased by the members to take films of the ski trips. Officers this year were jim Randall, president, Mike janvring vice-president, Sue Farwell, treasurer, and janet Carlin, secretary. Their enthusiasm for the sport was very often the driving influence behind the many successful trips. On March 4, the Ski Club sponsored its second annual winter dance, this year called the Sno-Ball. The dress was semi-formal, and the couples danced to the music of Norm White and his orchestra. Karen Smith, a sophomore, was chosen Winter Queen at the dance, and she presided regally over her subjects. The ingeniously beautiful decorations were designed and put in place by seniors Beth Marston and Claire Finniss. These two hardworking artists were respon- sible for the pleasant atmosphere that characterized the evening. The Ski Club has provided a healthful and enjoy- able outlet for the pent-up winter energies of S.H.S. students. Judging by the ever-growing popularity of skiing, it will continue to do so in the future Front row: Barbara Spencer, Connie Silverman, Patty Gallo, Pat Shay, Sue Farwell, Mike Janvrin, Janet Carlin, Barbara Fermon, Ellen Bond, Pat Davis, Janet Goldman.

Try-outs for this year's Talent Show were off to a start in the middle of December, and by the time the new year had arrived, prac- tices were well underway. Soon the auditorium was ringing with the strains of music played by the Cyclones, an up-and-coming sopho- more rock 'n' roll group. Tricycles were routed out of cellars for the Sisters act of Holly Thompson and Marilyn Rainone. The con- ventional ballet and the modern dance provided a contrast in style with Connie Silverman's original dance number. Gradually the S.H.S. Capades began to take shape under the capable direction of Pat Davis and Beverly Siskind. The show dates, March 10 and ll, were anticipated by all the students as they heard the sounds of daily rehearsal in the assembly hall after school. Everyone knew that this senior-run function was going to rank highly on the list of five talent shows which the school had produced. All the classes took part in the show and each was represented by excel- lent acts. Our talented pianist, Marilyn Newth, did a wonderful job transposing and harmonizing the accompaniment for each musical group. Barb Goodman, in charge of stage settings, worked in co- ordination with Marty Rosen, chairman of the lighting committee, to give the production a truly theatrical atmosphere. We will always look back on this activity, which was the pro- duct of so many willing hands, with a great deal of pride and satisfaction. Behind the scenes, Marty Rosen controls the light Gordon Laumann, David Frank, Bob johnson, and Jim Mor- ley swing in the Cyclones Margaret Wotten as The Belle of the Ball. 65 S22 2 .- I!

CLASS HISTORY It was 8:40 A.M., September 4, 1957 - a new time assigned to the new freshman class embarking on new adventures. As we entered the auditorium, which seemed .ro huge, we felt very old, until we met our first seniors. Then we realized our lowly state! Under the watchful eyes of Miss Margaret O'Rior- dan, our adviser for the next four years, we joined with those formidable upperclassmen and adorned the corridor walls with campaign posters. Following the collection of the never-to-be-forgotten poll tax, Richard Leger Csince departed for another alma materj was elected our chief for that first trying year. It was not all school books and politics, for our own Baby Blue upheld the tradition established three years before our arrival on the Hill - an undefeated season. And on the opposite side of the field, eight Frosh played hockey with the Floradoras. The social world was soon aware of our talents when we spon- sored our first dance, the Spring Fling, in April. Yes, we studied hard, played hard, and became a part of Swampscott High School. As we dashed down the front steps of S.H.S. that closing day in june, we couldn't believe a year had gone by, or know how much faster the next three would pass. As autumn leaves began to fall, another year was started and we ventured forth to our first, real, four-walled homerooms. Not yet upperclassmen but at least no longer lowly Freshmen, we wise- fools proceeded to elect Peter Mayer president Cof our class, that islb After a season of j.V. sports, we ventured into the entertainment world with the jamaicans and Honeybunners. Time passed and, lo and behold, 'twas St. Patrick's Day. Gaily we adopted brogues, took up shillelaghs and donned anything green we had for Mick McGilligan's Ball. Who was that non-conformist wearing orange? Warm breezes drifted into classrooms and we tra- velled to track meets and baseball games, aware that summertime was soon to come. Latin books were returned, compasses set aside, rulers shoved into poc- kets, and another year in the history of the Class of '61 was closed. School bells ring and children sing - it's back to S.H.S. again. This year, we all firmly resolved, woud not glimpse the antics of previous seasons but see us scholars - one and all. Fair competition broke the atmosphere of Shakespearean drama and chemis- try equations as voting time rolled around once again. Bob Arnold was our unchallenged class president. Dave Corbett and jim Randell aided the Big Blue in overpowering the Magicians, and in anticipation of this feat we sponsored the Beat Marblehead Dance. With the arrival of Spring, we viewed You Can't Take it with You - our own Roger securing a lead and adding not only a line but a laugh in going out to get a peanut butter sandwich. Yet, most prominent of all our events was the prom, South Pacific. Re- member Marge's party, the very low ceiling, and al- ways May 6? CYVO one could be premier It was a time of PSAT's, a trip to New York, a carnival queen, practice achievement tests, a Walter Brennan award - a time of learning. There was only one year left to fulfill so many hopes, one VERY big year when we would be seniors. just three years ago we had thought that 1960-61 would never arrive, but now that it had, we realized how fast those years had gone by. We studied with much more zest than previously - after all, this was our last chance to prove ourselves, not only to tea- chers and parents, but also to admissions directors and future employers. Elections were held and such spirited competition had never taken place before. We seniors had to vote four times for class president, the count was so close! Roger Volk, our triumphant campaigner, led the way with Tom Santanello, Brenda Keenan and Tom Peters as we proceeded with fund-raising plans. What was in the'treasury? Did someone mention U. N. papers? And how many cards do you have? That fateful day arrived - October 20 - papers were due. How late were you up October 19? Debbie Ross was announced winner of the competitiong Carolyn Backman and Pat Davis were runners-up. Then came preparations for the Thanksgiving Day rally and half-time festivities of THE game. Spirit, unity and athletic skill were at their height as the Big Blue team displayed their good sportsmanship after the hardefought' game. Following our very brief vacation, we returned to S.H.S. eager to finish the plans for our Christmas in the Forest. With the able leadership of Pat Smith, the dance decor was not only beautiful but cleverly executed. I I Lunchtime affords minutes for sunshine and study. An.. The piano lures a happy group during a brief pause in picture-taking for the Senior Poll. Cer Gem Qui Patten! seemed to be the biggest winter homework problem. But then there were solid geometry theorems, another history research paper, Hamlet and Latin mythology! Who said seniors have a life of ease? january 17 passed and we hoped we had done the same on the S.A.T.'s. College applications had been filed and in the midst of this studying fand worry- ingb, we took time out for the S.H.S. Capades. Pat and Bev directed the big show to a peak of success. Sure these are our kind of people! Achievement tests were taken and we awaited acceprances . . J and refusals. As we watched for mail, plans for senior week became more exciting, they would soon be reality. There was the car wash, the baccalaureate service and - graduation. But, perhaps, supreme was the thought of our fabulous, marvelous, wonderful Senior Prom, Holidays in Venice. We have finally reached the threshold, we have the key to open the door. Yes, our future seems to rest on what we have gained from our years on the Hill. Only four short years, but years we will re- remember always, for we're from S.H.S. and NO ONE could be prouder, and if you don't believe us, we'll yell a little louder. 69 CLASS Pou.

From early fall, when we began to put into effect the ideas formulated last spring, to the final deadline, staff members have given their time unstintingly. Their reliability, initiative, and cooperation have made working with them a true pleas- ure. The editorial staff was always ready with ideas, the layout staff spent hours planning new designs, the typing staff accomplished their tasks quickly and efficiently. Our hardworking business staff always came through splendidly with financial support. How can we everthank our adviser, Miss Mary E. Shay? We will never forget her tireless work and her invaluable assistance and super- vision. Miss Mary M. Chaisson with her helpful suggestions was indispensable to the layout staff, as was Mr. William Sasso to the business staff. Class historians this year were Patricia Davis, '6lg Kathy Carey and Sandra Goldstein, '62, and Robert Bluestein, '63. The cover of the yearbook was designed by Eleanor Zenis, ,6l. We, the editors of the 1961 Sea Gull, sincerely thank all of these people. We fully realize that without their talent and energy our yearbook would not have been possible. 1 N Y 1 W V I , 7 , r Y I I ' 1 ' ' X N 5 f 'V - , .A 5.1, , M 41 so-13, ig: fm' - , va- - A n ,--X-.
