Every day and many times a day you choose to do something or not to do it. You really choose when you avoid a choice. You may blame others, you may blame conditions, and you may even fool yourself but you choose success or failure. You may choose what you plan to accomplish in life and decide how hard you will drive toward achieving it. To a surprising degree you can choose your health, wealth, and happiness. Choosing is a great privilege. You can choose to think things or to obey an im- pulse. Choose—and remember your choices affect your life. Walter E. Scott Superintendent-Principal WILLIAM E.

They also taught us History.” “So did Mrs. Hodgkinson and Mrs. Showman.” “Mr. Nasse, Mr. Lynch, Mr. Steenson, Miss Lopata, and Mr. Norton taught us the fundamentals of Math and Science. If they hadn’t we would have never gotten through the rest of the years.” “We sure weren't angels then, were we?” “Did you know that Mrs. Bzdula had a girl in her class that could take dictation at 180 words per minute.” “I didn’t think that Mr. Bzdula would find anyone to replace us as football program sellers.” “Did he?” “No.” “I don’t see how Mr. Toepfer ever had the patience that he did with out bookkeeping.” “I remember I was treasurer of something and was always getting my books mixed up.

They must have had a hard time teaching us because we had a hard time with English.” “We had Mr. Kelly to thank for our newspaper and debating team.” “Remember Mr. Charette when he took over our Latin II class, hmmm?” “I wonder if Mr. Peter Lewis’ Geometry class ever understood the Pythagorean Theorem?” “Thanks to Mr. Julian we had a planned future.” “I wonder if Mr. Woodcock ever got back the chairs that the psychology class is always borrowing?” “Rememer Mr. Florin?” “Remember all. the books that Miss Johnson used to assign us to read and Mrs. Campbell found in the library?” “Wouldn’t it have been a riot if we had had a beatnik band? I’m afraid Mr. Podgorski couldn’t have tolerated it.” “And those wonderful Choraleers of Mr. Corson’s?” “Remember the job that Mr. Smith had in training the faculty for the basketball game.

Despite the claims of the Class of 1960, the Class of 1961 is the first graduating class to attend Tantasqua for six full years. In the 7th and 8th grades, the class was divided into five divisions where we became wise to the ways of the world. Plunging into our freshman year, and the trials and tribulations of high school, we elected our first class officers: Dennis Jalbert, president; Jean Jensen, vice- president; George Lucier, treasurer; and Debbie Fra- zier, secretary. Somehow we managed to get through geometry, typ- ing, World History, and dissecting frogs during our sophomore year. We were led by President Pat Looney, Vice-President Sue Laughlin, Treasurer Hon- est George Lucier, and Secretary Caroline Morris. Moving on to our junior year, we elected Lee Lyman, Rich Spenard, Tom Earls, and Kathy Osterberg as our class officers. We were also fortunate enough to re- ceive our class rings before Christmas. We soon dis- covered that the worst part of double sessions was get- ting up so early. We faced chemistry, shorthand, and U. S. History bravely. Our English field trips proved to be fun affairs. Our Junior Prom, held on Friday, May 13th, 1960, was appropriately called MISTY— it poured that night! Those attending agreed it was successful, but the decorating committee will probably never forget the frantic problem caused when our non- fireproof decorations had t o be taken down. Our senior year was the busiest of all. Class offi- cers were Tom Earls, president; Sue Laughlin, vice- president; Joe Plouffe, treasurer; and Joan Tripp, sec- retary. Our pride was hurt when the near elimination of assemblies caused by double sessions meant that we would rarely “march in.” We found physics, English, and Advanced Math very challenging, but psychology was fun. We liked the new language lab, but doubted that we would ever speak French or Spanish very well ourselves. We won the first football game in four sea- sons when Grafton was defeated 22-14 on November 11, 1960, on our home field. Our Senior Prom, ONE STEP to HEAVEN, on November 18, 1960, was en- joyed by all. Spring activities made us wonder how we'd ever finish our homework and still get some sleep. We, the Class of 1961, have enjoyed these six swiftly passing years at Tantasqua. We hope that the impres- sions which we are leaving behind will be as good as the memories we hold. 43 TANTASQUA EVENING NEWS Vol. VV No. 61 IN THE ENTERTAINMENT WORLD Great hypnotist Wendell Lindley is becoming famous in Greenwich Village.

The Senior and Junior High bands are directed by Mr. Podgorski. All of these groups participated in the annual Christmas Concert presented on De- cember 17. Mrs. Hedwiga Kochanowski, better known as Mrs. K., also trains Tantasqua’s aspiring vocalists. This year, for the first time, we were able to have our band in uniform at football games. The Choraleers p resented programs for various groups throughout the year as a community service. A spring production of Trial by Jury was staged by the music groups in May.
