C ie 1970 earSooJ? (Staff Presents Uhe Owf 1970 U iomaston Jfiy i Sc ioof Chomaston, Connecticut i TO JOSEPH KASLAUSKAS Our years were ones of hope and despair, longing and frustration, courage and fear. Wanting to make it on our own, we sometimes brushed aside advice. In our final, and most difficult year, our indecision cried out for help. We reached -and were touched. For guiding us with friendliness and answering us with frankness, we, the Class of 1970, bestow the highest honor we can, the dedication of our yearbook to Mr. Kaslauskas. 2 I Joreworcf The Class of 1970 has .shared many experiences. We have learned to face our responsibilities, contend with our problems, and enjoy our rewards. We have worked together and laughed together. By widening our interests, giving impetus to our ideas, and providing us with the ability to competently face an exciting, changing world, T.H.S. has prepared us to carry out the obligations demanded by modem society. Even more than this, T.H.S. has furnished an atmosphere for friendship and fun. It is the day to day excitements of school life that we shall miss. In anticipation of the nostalgic moments when our minds drift back to the youthful days at T.H.S. the 1970 OWL has tried to capture not only the notable events but the everyday occurrences; the laughter and chatter rippling through the halls, students cheering on competitive athletics, and creativity and scholarship battling in the classrooms. So it is sadly that we must now break our long and happy routine. Graduation day is here and we cannot tarry longer.” r Editor in Chief 4 JaS e of CJon en s Dedication.....................................2 Foreword.......................................4 Theme..........................................5 Faculty and Administration..................7-12 Seniors....................................13-31 Senior Section.............................35-44 Underclassmen...............................45-54 Organizations...............................55-72 Athletics...................................73-90 Class Poem.....................................93 Sponsors.......................................95 6 Me ssaye THE OWL As a student about to graduate from Thomaston High School, you are standing on the threshold of opportunities with many paths to discover and follow. You will be taking new steps, many new turns with which to cope, and you will have much ground to cover. While taking this journey through life at a new level you will often be reminded that one never stops becoming a student - for there is no limit to what one can do with his potential. You arc most fortunate to have gone to a small school in which many of your teachers have been able to identify with you and feel a certain closeness to you. You will recall that many of your teachers have not stopped being students. They were ready and anxious to examine traditions and projects new hope and progress into the future - all the while, learning as you do. Finally, as you go through life as a learner, don’t be concerned only by what you arc against, such as war, racism, poverty and corruption, but be for things - have a goal, a dream. DR. MARVIN YAFFE Jjrincipafs JRessciye Today we hear a prat deal about the importance of communication and human relations It � stressed that to successfully communicate there must be involvement of all concerned Also, the means of communication may necessanlv vary in accordance with the subiect and those communicating In this ever challenging field of education Dr Charles R Keller, former director of the John Hay Fellows Program, recently spoke on The Poets Have Words For It He quotes some lines from Rod McKuen's The An of Catching Trains” in his latest volume. LONESOME CITIES Sometimes I feel I've always been |ust passing through On my wav aw ay, or toward Shouting alleluias in an unseen choir or whispering fados down beneath my breath waiting for an echo not an answer Everybody has the answers or they II make them up for you Just once I'd like to hear a brand-new-question Music is a universal language It is emotional and creates a response within the listener Many claim it can assist in interpreting other times, places and peoples Of all the gifts made to man laughter is one of the most precious It has not her nationality. politics, nor religion It lessens concern over problems, and helps us to see things in theit proper perspective Some say the greatest gap in nature is the one existing between two minds If so. perhaps the poem, the song, the beat and the laughter will he some wavs of closing this gap Each individual needs to listen to another to effectively communicate and bring about true understanding Good human relations is an attitude of being willing and active in helping others and of shanng with them To think, talk, and act in terms of the interest of the other person must lead to common good and appreciation From Edmundite. a publication of the Edmundite Fathers and Brothers.

If she takes that last Ring-Ding let’s get her! to study, to contemplate. 91 . . . and now it is 1970 Once upon a time we were young, but that was a long time ago. And once upon a time we were children playing in sandboxes, but suddenly those grains of sand have turned into rocks. And we were oh so sheltered and oh so VFRY secure - but much too soon someone opened the door and let the world glare in. Danger, Hatred, Pain, Violence, Prejudice — Death . . . crammed in a tiny box covered with black paper and thrown at our feet Our Innocence Became Scarred Very quickly we grew up - quicker than anyone could believe. YOUTH seemed to pass right by without stopping to let us touch it . . . (oh yes there were times of pleasure times of happiness times of joy. precious morsels which we relish gratefully. They are our strength) For YOU, yesterday we were but babes in our cradles. And today YOU say to us - Here. The World Is Yours. But we’re a little wary of taking it you see. You’ve given it to us in such a fragile condition we’re afraid that if we touch it It Might Crumble Necessity makes us take. We accept with gentle hands, strong backs, firm minds. We look at you and say - WE ARE THE HOPE - WE ARE THE FUTURE (we thank you for all your help - we know you’ve tried to do your best, but now we must go and try to work just a little bit harder . . .
