The house currently being built consists of three bedrooms, a kitchen-family room combination, living room, fire- place and laundry room with a garage under the house. The purpose of this project is to provide building exercise for the carpentry students by giving them a chance to enrich their knowledge through practical experience. These carpentry students alternate between the classroom and the house project, applying the theory they learn in class one week to the project the next. Mr. Norstrom is super- vising the house building and we regret that, as a result, we do not have a picture of him.

The dance, held in the gym, had no specific name but the decorations followed a Japanese motif. A garden house dominated the right side as one came into the gym, and it had been furnished with Japanese prints and cushions. At the far end, the most dynamic and beautiful of the decorations, a bamboo backdrop for the band, hung from the top of the gym to the floor. In the background, a panorama of a purple moun- tain was painted and in the foreground, graceful Ming trees. Along the right side of the gym, tables had been set up and underclassmen in authentic costumes wove in and out of the maze, serving re- freshments. At the door, each girl received a silver Indian head as a rememberance of the 1967 prom. Ken Reeves and his orchestra provided the music for the unforgettable night. The Junior-Senior Prom had such a great atten- dance that a new prom policy has been adopted. No prom will ever match this first one, however. 16 The Development Of The Individual Through Instruction. . . FACULTY The Main Spring Of The School Few students are willing to give full credit to Principal John Canavan, Asst. Principal Edward Bzdula, and School Superintendent Roland Wilson, for competently executing their difficult jobs. They bear the responsibility of maintaining discipline and are often judged unfairly when compelled to enforce stringent laws in an effort to keeep some re- semblance of order. Under their direction we are able to have a school that runs smoothly but it is still up to the students to govern, by their actions, the method in which it will be run. 20 Guidance counselors are; Francis Bansfield, Guidance director, Donna McArdle, Charles Russell, David _Boundreau.

The aim of the school is to prepare students for profitable employment. The Vocational School offers the following trades: Machine Shop, Metal Fabrication and Welding, Carpentry and Millwork, and Ma- chine Drafting. The curriculum in- cludes Shop, Related Math, science, Blueprint Reading and Drawing, for the particular trade. The course extends over four years. The student, when he graduates, will receive a high school diploma and a vocational certificate in his trade. To be admitted to our Vocational School an applicant must be four- teen years of age and or complet- ed the eighth grade. He should have the definite desire to pursue his trade and have the ability to profit by the instruction offered. When our students graduate, they will start their working career as tradesmen and be on their way to becoming good citizens. ieski ieu sn so, vocational director alan hyde ssier Ison leonard beaul $ vu se) Lae} jou vu =) wn ° joe jou ° norman czyzewski robert lu walter matyszczyk roy wohlander john ru john farland this page james wi thaddeus le mark crockett te a OP i.e RARE eee eet eat Opposite page: walter pauli, physical education head richard chase, art william emerich, athletic department head, science evelyn chase, gym this page: fred drifmeyer, band john cheney, music helen duquette, gym, science claude almand, art louise willett, guidance secretary annette brown, office secretary gwen banwell, office secretary julie vreeland, office secretary maureen maynard, vocational secretary Opposite page: shirley gray, nurse hawtry yeames, maintenance head pete gendreau, custodian syd bolshaw, custodian cafeteria staff 42 43 DEIR OG OR ee The End Of School But Never Of Learning SENIORS robert warren ann marinelli president vice-president Meaningful And Memorable We, the class of 1968, have finished our last and most suc- cessful year of our high school career.

A Reflection On Change. . . UNDERCLASSMEN Learn And Grow... Years Of Experience Aid Future Seniors The third year of our high school career is upon us. We look now not to the past but to the prospect of an enlightening and fulfilling Senior year and of an un- known but brightly hopeful future outside of Tantas- qua. For a moment the past is reflected in the spirit of our many accomplishments. In our Freshman year we began learning how to run a class and how to partici- pate in school activities. We had our first class dance and took an active and enthusiastic part in the color night activities. With a little experience behind us we fared even better in our Sophomore year. Our class dance was a big success and our skit for color day took first place thanks to the hard work of the entire class. This year, our Junior year, we are bound closer to Tantasqua even while we are faced with decision about our futures after leaving. As a climax to many months of waiting we received our class rings which made us feel more a part of Tantasqua. Our first prom, the second combined Junior-Senior Prom at Tantasqua, our regular class dance and this years col- or night all brought us closer to our school.

Sophomore Unity Leads To Successful Year The second year of high school is upon us. We are the Sophomores this year, the class of 1970. After our first two years as junior high students at Tantasqua our Freshman year was a change which awakened in us qualities of leadership and participation which were unnecessary in junior high. We began our Freshman year by electing officers. They took over the job of or- ganizing our class in order to function more smoothly as a group. They collected dues and organized com- mittees for our class dance. Our dance ‘‘The Hap- pening’ turned out to be the most successful dance of the school year thanks to the combined efforts of the officers and the rest of the class. Our color day skit and costume on color night proved very entertaining. In our Sophomore year, with a year’s experience at running a class behind us, we began to work easily and smoothly together. The wonderful events of this year were our dance, color night, and ordering our class rings. We now have two more years at Tantas- qua to look forward to; years filled with hope for suc- cessful proms, dances, color nights, and graduation.

In our two previous years of this school we were junior high students with no thought of running a class. We had no officers and no class activities. This year we began our career as regular high school students. Our first combined activity was the election of four top officers. They took on the re- -sponsibility of leading our class through its first year and organizing our projects. Our next activity which re- quired cooperation from the whole class was our class dance. We began this year with an empty treasury but because of our successful dance we will end our first year and will begin our second with a reassuring sum to our credit. The collecting of class dues by our officers also added to our treasury. Color day and night activi- ties, something new to us all, were enthusiastically par- ticipated in by all. As our first year draws to an end we look to a bright future filled with memorable events; oth- er class dances, color nights, class rings, proms and finally graduation. Above.

Expanding Horizons Through Participation Student ann marinelli president gaetan lepage vice-president The Student Council of Tantasqua has three purposes. It is a discussion place for stu- dent ideas and problems; it is a major tie between the administration and the student body; and it provides services for the students and the community. This year’s council projects included sponsoring a drive for St. Judd’s Hospital, collect- ing for the Dollars for Scholars scholarship fund, running the “shack” during home football games, selling season passes, holding ‘‘sock hops” after home basketball games, sponsoring Color Night, and attending regional and state conferences to dis- cuss and compare the role of the Student Council in different high schools.

DAR To be ranked as outstanding in leadership, dependability, and patriotism is certainly an esteemed honor. Each year one senior girl is chosen by the faculty from nominations by her classmates to represent Tantasqua to the West Brookfield chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The class of 1968 congratulates Evelyn Clark for receiving this honor. Evelyn Clark 101 National Honor Society C. Cimicud, $. Noyes, S. Moses, Treasurer J. Pote, M. McDougal, D. Gravel, J.

Math Teams This year’s team has distinguished itself as the first Mathematics Team in the history of Tantasqua to capture first place in com- petition. After year’s of frustrating seconds and thirds, the team finally came into its own by beating old rivals Assumption Pre- paratory, Wachusett Regional, and Wor- cester Academy. Success can be a tributed to the consistent outstanding play of the underclassmen as well as the veteran seniors. Although many fine senior members will be leaving, if the underclassmen continue to play as well as they have, we are assured of another successful year for the team.

Baseball For the Warriors 1967 was the first year in the newly organized Border Baseball Conference. The Warriors had a good year in spite of two straight opening losses, finishing third with a league record of four to four behind Bartlett and Southbridge. The highlight of the season was a five run rally in the last half of the seventh inning to notch a come-from-behind victory over the Worcester Academy J.V.s by a score of 6-5. The season lowpoint was a 7—4 loss to David Prouty, marking the first time this has happened in the history of the team. Between the high and low were many days of varied emotions: Tri-Captains were elected for the first time; the team lost a squeaker to Southbridge by a score of 4-3 and then returned to knock them out of the league title fight by a 4-2 win; the whole season was played under adverse weather conditions with the team complet- ing only twelve of its eighteen scheduled games. The Warriors were proud to have two of their members—Al Glass and Ed Jette—selected for the Border Conference All-Star team. Ed Jette was also chosen to receive the Stuart Award as the player who contributed the most to the team both on and off the field. Losing only one senior—Captain Ed Jette—the team of ’68 is looking forward to an even stronger year. Led by Tri-Captains Warren, Dhembe and Glass, the team will have twelve lettermen running. A strong Junior Varsity with such standouts as Top- per Wood and Steve Gallerani should help the Warriors to post an even better record. To sum it up, the team has seen a good season but is looking forward to capturing the league flag in 68. 116 Tantasqua Tantasqua Tantasqua Tantasqua Tantasqua Tantasqua Tantasqua Bartlett Southbridge Marionhill N.

Included were wins over arch rivals Palmer and North Brookfield. The season was highlighted by a strong show- ing in the Western Mass. Relays, a second in the District Ill, a first in the David Prouty Invitational, and a second in the Western Mass. Class A championships. Consistent point-getters over the season included Kim Shumate, Bob Sandole, Bob Ruggles, Bob Wiles, Randy Buzzell, Jim Woodward, Joe Dhembe, and Lennie Senecal. Over the season there were several new school records set: Bob Sandole in both the mile and the two mile; Kim Shumate in both the low and high hurdles; Jim Woodward in the shot put; and Joe Dhembe in the javelin.

Team highlights would certainly have to in- clude the 40-0 Palmer Victory, but two other games which stand out are the 20-13 victory over Athol and the 22-6 win over Dougherty. Both teams were undefeated before playing Tantasqua and Dougherty was leading the Class A Central Mass. ratings. Individual stars included; Al Dhembe who set a new school record and led all Central Mass. scorers with 106 points, Jim Woodward who chipped in 50 points, Bob Warren who averaged 7.9 yards per carry despite playing on an injured knee for most of the season, and Glen Biron who passed for 957 yds. and 6 touchdowns. The school and team were honored to have Al Dhembe chosen to the High School All-Ameri- can Team. Congratulations to the team and Coaches Far- land, Erban, Hyde, and Allen for a job well done.

The Tennis Club under Coach Scobie and with Neil Hicks as cap- tain had a very successful first year. Their schedule included; West Springfield, Minnechaug, and Auburn, all of which have been playing tennis for several years. The team started the season in fine style by beating West Springfield. They then lost a very close match to Minnechaug and two very close ones to Auburn. Next year under Coach Dube and with Jay Sherman as captain, the team hopes to expand their schedule and to improve on their won and lost record. The ranking five players on the team were in order; Jay Sherman, Neal Hicks, Dan Sharkey, Tom Brogan, and Dave Anderson. Golf Club Coach Rainka, K. Beu, R. Keith, B. Peloquin, D. Craig, G. Young, B. Garieri, M. Szolusha. The golf team, coached by Mr. Ronald Rainka, was one of the several new clubs which have started here at TRHS. In the spring of 1967 golf was considered an unofficial var- sity sport but this spring it was promoted to full varsity status. The team’s season consisted of several nine-hole ‘‘home and home matches’’ with Auburn, Woodstock Academy, and North Brookfield. The team’s home course was at Cohasse Country Club in Charlton, Mass. With all members of the team returning, Coach Rainka is hopeful of having a successful first year as a full-fledged varsity sport. The Soccer Club, under the direction of Coach Emrich, was organized this fall as the result of interest shown by several students. In fact, the interest was so great that over twenty boys went out for this sport in its first season at Tantasqua. It is hoped that next fall it will become a full-fledged varsity sport. The club practiced after school every Tuesday and played in several scrimmages. Coach Em- rich reports some very promising material for Varsity Soccer. 140 The Ski Club ready for a day on the slopes. Ski Club The Ski Club with Mr. Rainka and Mr. Lo Strocco as advisors, enjoyed a fine winter of ski trips to areas in Vermont, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Bright and early each Saturday, the bus left the school with 30 eager, but cold skiers for a day on the slopes. By the time spring rolled around there was a noticeable improvement in the calibre of skiing. Buoyed by practice sessions at Podunk Ski Area in Sturbridge, a ski team was selected for two competitive slalom races with Bancroft Academy. While losing both meets by a very narrow margin, the team gained experience and had a lot of fun.

The bleachers strain under the full load and even standing room is scarce. This is the time when students are presented with the athletic teams representing them. It is also a time for the students to show their support for the team by cheering. The cheerleaders go through their routines then station themselves in strategic areas to spur on the cheers for Tantasqua. Then the major- ettes perform to the rousing music of our school band. The Principal, Asst-Principal and the coaches each give a short pep talk followed by more cheering and more band music. These pep rallies are held before such important games as the Palmer football game. Everyone knows about the game, most are able to attend it and cheer their team on even more than before and usually the Warriors bring home a victory. 151 ADVERTISEMENTS We Would Like To Sincerely Thank Those Who Have Made This Yearbook Possible OY Teall = GRADUATING CLASS American © Optical COMPANY Sincel 33 ...
