CaPrade N M O E at Wachusett were saddened this past year by the death of our librarian, Miss Ada I. Carlson. Miss Carlson helped to organize the school library and served as its librarian from September, 1956, until her death. During this time she won the regard and affection of the students by her sincere interest in their welfare and the willingness with which she helped them make full use of the library’s facilities. Her attributes were those of a good teacher: patience, understanding, a sense of humor, and genuine enthusiasm for her work. Our memories of her will always be warm and friendly, full of gratitude and respect for the great amount of good she did for us and our school. I GORDON M. THOMAS PRINCIPAL Charles N.

The year is 1982. The situation is the twenty-fifth reunion of the class of 1957. The program, This Is Your Life, is going to do our life. I have been thinking a lot about our high school days. In 1953, groups of bewildered students entered the schools in their respective towns. How frightened we were by the big books we had received and by the new courses we were taking! We students were destined to merge, forming the illustrious class of 1957 at Wachusett Regional High School. I must not diverse any further, for the house lights are going down, the audience is hushed, the curtain is going up. This is your life, class of ' 57, says the master of ceremonies. Let ' s begin the program with your sophomore year. As the doors of your new school opened, in walked a sophomore class which had not been united in its freshman year. With maps in hand and feeling like freshmen again, you inevitably found this building too large, but through teachers ' and other students ' directions you didn ' t miss too many classes that first week. That year you elected your class officers in a new, democratic way. The two party system was used and each candidate launched his campaign wholeheartedly. Here were the winners: your president, Sam Elliott; your vice-president, Buddy Amidon; your secretary, Catherine Christmas; and your treasurer, Jon Miles. By now you had become acquainted with the school. No longer were you so timid, so you began joining many activities such as the Glee Club, Latin Club, Band, and Dramatics Clubs. Your class was well-represented on the newly organized ' Echo ' staff. Will Calvin Anderson, Sandra Jacobson and Janet Hogberg please come forth, for they were the members. Let ' s turn to the sports angle. To the newly formed varsity football squad your class added the following and will they please stand up as their names are read: Don Perry, Fran Jennette, Vincent Keough, Don Granberg and Robert Sanders. Your one contribution to the girls ' hockey squad was Karen Manty. Soon the season of basketball rolled around and your class was rooting for their two classmates. Bud Amidon and Fran Jennette. Again you boasted Karen Manty as your sophomore contribution to the sport of basketball. The summer months had now drawn nigh, and school was recessed until September. The months flew by and soon the fall months were upon you. With a new outlook on school life and a feeling of prestige, you began your junior year with great aspiration. You felt you were a more important part of the school, no longer getting lost in the corridors, no longer being laughed at for your childish antics, and no longer feeling insignificant. Like old hands you indulged in your campaign and elected the following officers: president, once again, Sam Elliott; vice-president, Richard Lambert, who took over so ably when Sam moved away; secretary, Allegro Johnson; and treasurer, Andrea Rogers. This year you even made history, not world- wide history, but a part of the history of the school. The first Student Council was incorporated. You were represented on the body by Catherine Christmas, Marilyn Lundquist, Dick Purington and Dana Kierstead. You cheered the bigger and better new varsity football team more enthusiastically for included on it were the following: Gerald Mullaney, Jon Robi- son, Ray Lantinen, Don Granberg, Paul Downer, Fran Jennette, Don Perry, Richard Arnold, Ernest Desanti, Bill Balcom, Bob Johnson, Edward Jameson and Robert Sanders. The Girls ' Hockey Team included Carol Ann Watts, Allegra Johnson, Georgiana Pruneau and Janet Rice. The cheerleading squad was now open to mem- bers of your class. Your fine representatives were Muriel Barnjum and Marilyn Flagg. Helping these cheerleaders along with the team spirit were Sandra Benson and Joanne Johnson, drum majorettes. Then it came, June 1, the day of your Junior Prom. How excited you had been getting ready for this big event! You had been as busy as bees making Oriental decorations for the prom, the theme of which was ' Shinkiro. ' That night the gymnasium was a heavenly splendor and all your hard work and preparation had shown itself. In the gym was an arbor where your queen, Marilyn Lundquist, was crowned. Among the members of her court was Sallie Steele. This practically closed the year for you, for there were only a few more days left. What a wonderful year it had been, but there was still a more wonderful one ahead of you! September finally came for you. Class of ' 57 , your senior year. You had made it! This remark- able group had come into its own. Now you were the ' wheels ' to be looked up to and to set the pace. You were truly upperclassmen, leaders, as, of course, you rightfully should be. This year. Class of ' 57, was to be your busiest, fullest, and most unforgettable of all. To be sure, it started off with a bang! The Wachusett Mountaineers plunged into the football season, led by your old standbys: Bud Amidon, Fran Jennette, Paul Downer, Don Gran- berg, Bob Johnson, Bill Calcom, Ray Lantinen, Jon Miles and Don Perry. Your dependable Girls ' Hockey team had a Fine record, aided by your own Carol Ann Watts, Al- legro Johnson and Georgiana Pruneau. Next came the biggest event of the fall season. This talented class was to present its Senior Play. After weeks of hard work and anticipation came the Wachusett Premiere of Our Hearts Were Young and Gay. Heading the fine cast were Marilyn Lundquist and Penny Drawbridge. Other gifted thespians included Richard Wylie, Sandra Smith, Ralph Takala, Richard Skarin, Judy Hebert, Dana Keirstead, Richard Lambert, Sue Carlson, Joanne Lyman, Calvin Anderson, Sandra Jacobson, Jac- queline LaHair, Elizabeth Hull, Richard Green and Paul Boucher. A large portion of the class turned out to work backstage and, under the able direction of Mr. Robert Barker, it was a great success. Once again the basketball season was upon us. Cheered on to victory were your seniors: Bud Amidon, Fran Jennette, and a new face, John Torrant. A credit to the Girls ' Basketball team was Grace Tambolleo. Encouraging the varsity squad were the Wachusett Cheerleaders, including this year, Cap- tain Muriel Barnjum and Marilyn Lundquist. By now, of course, you were all anxious to begin work on one of the major undertakings of your high school career, the yearbook. Allegro Johnson was chosen Editor-in-Chief and her assist- ant editors were Joanne Lyman, Mary Oliver and Elizabeth Hinckley. With the aid and co-operation of an ambitious staff, the yearbook of the Class of ' 57 was pre- pared for publication. The Wachusett ' Echo ' , now in its third year, was beginning to grow under the capable guid- ance of its editor, Mary Oliver. One of the most active organizations in the school, the Future Teachers of America, boasted as its officers: president. Sue Carlson; vice-president, Allegro Johnson; secretary, Marilyn Lundquist; treasurer, Christine Hanson; and Historian, Andrea Rogers. For your Student Council representatives, this year. Class of ' 57, you chose Sandra Jacobson, Allegro Johnson and Catherine Christmas. An automatic member was your class president, Don Perry; he represented your school at Good Gov- ernment Day in March at the State House. It ' s no wonder that this great class reached such heights being led by such remarkable officers as president, Don Perry; vice-president, Sue Carl- son; secretary, Andrea Rogers, trea surer, Aaron Goodale. However, these gifted few did not work alone, for they were aided by a cabinet of promi- nent individuals which included Joanne Lyman, John Torrant, Muriel Barnjum, Joe Deery, Sally Steele, Jane Putnam, and Clark Taylor. Taking part this year in the annual Drama Festival were seniors Dick Green, Sandra Jacobson, Sue Person, Janet Hogberg, Bella LaHair and Catherine Christmas. About mid-winter you began making plans for the biggest social event of the year, your Senior Prom. Everyone joined in to work on the numerous committees. The gym was magically transformed into Carnivale de Venizia. This unique visit to old Venice proved to be a great success. For the remaining months this promising class ran true to form, accomplishing many noteworthy feats, until they reached the long awaited Gradu- ation Day. Well, Class of ' 57, as we look back on your brilliant high school career which formed the foundation for your life work, we realize that ultimate success and prosperity were inevitable. How could the future hold anything but golden days for such a fine group!

All aboard! I seized my ticket and rushed toward the waiting rocket ship, Son Young, at the other end of the Nevada proving ground. This famous ship was named after her extraordinary designers, David Olson and John Young. Richard Wylie, com- plete with space suit and ray gun, directed me to my seat. I was eager to begin my journey to the newly colonized satellite which Elizabeth Hinckley had recently discovered. She contributed her suc- cess to the telescope which David Westwood had made for her. Robert Johnson, the pilot, and Judy Hebert, co-pilot, gave us last-minute instructions about our safety belts, and we were off. On the way, Evelyn Riggles, heiress to a famous nation-wide dry cleaning institute, was making a fruitless attempt to help her partner, Pauline Morse, who had accidentally unfastened her safety belt and floated to the ceiling of the rocket ship. All about us were Brenda Minisci ' s beautiful travel posters and hi-fi walkie-talkies which John Sam- borski and Paul Peterson had manufactured. I busied myself by reading Janet Calkin ' s biography of George Ahearn, the plutonium tycoon, and soon after, we arrived! Joy Wasson, the stewardess, helped us collect our belongings. Through the door I could see an exciting new world of a strange architectural design which Lois Pickett had accidentally created while trying to make a doll house for her children. Willard Lemaire was running around with a geiger counter, and Betsey Smith was carefully recording his discoveries. Ruth Brodeur, secretary to Jon Miles, president of the satellite, read us an address of welcome and invited us to go on a sight-see ing trip with Bruce Baker and Paul Downer as our guides. As we proceeded down the main street of the satellite, I saw a poster on the front of one of the buildings which advertised the dancing school of Sandra Smith, a famous choreographer. We could see her trying to teach modern dancing to Marilyn Lundquist and Elizabeth Hull, two instructors in her employment, who were having quite a bit of trouble lifting their lead boots. Sandra Jacobson was loudly playing progressive disharmony as an accompaniment. Earl Wagner, the detective ' s detective, was standing outside of Muriel Barnjum ' s pill factory eyeing Donald Boyce, who he suspected had taken one. Ann Reynolds nearly hit our guide as she buzzed by in her sports rocket. She was a successful dime store manager, and she couldn ' t resist exceeding the speed of sound right through a thickly settled area. We ate lunch at a restaurant owned by Christine Hanson and Judith Pendleton. The food didn ' t taste too good, but it was heavy enough to help gravity keep us on the ground. We paid the cashier, Judy Caldwell, and resumed our tour where we left off. It had grown dark and cold, so we decided to go to a movie. Karen Manty and Clark Stuart were starring in Vivian Crawford ' s award-winning, science-fiction thriller, Cave Man. The spherical screen designed by Richard Green and Thomas Junell completely engulfed us, but auto- matic revolving chairs invented by Judy Clark en- Clm Prophecy abled us to see any side. Their unimaginable speed also prevented us from missing any of the picture as we turned. During intermission I saw Marjorie Bolster and Joan Gibbons in the lobby. They told me that they were employed by Shirley De Luca at the local chapter of the Mickey Mouse Club. I bought some rock candy from Nancy Holloway which was ninety- five per cent rock, four per cent candy, and one per cent your-guess-is-as-good-as-mine. She assur- ed me, however, that it was fresh, since she had just made it herself with the aid of her cooking instructor, Carol Johnson. When the show was over, Harry Churchey, the theater manager, per- sonally thanked us for attending. While going through the United Planets building, Carol De Sauntes got lost, so we reported her to Gail Lundblad, a tracer of missing persons. We found Carol, a serious-minded art critic, in an art gallery studying pictures of such ancient relics as automobiles and airplanes which had been skillfully depicted by Sandra Lloyd. Avis Taylor, building superintendent, came in and told us that the build- ing was being closed, so we ' d have to leave. On our way out we passed a conference room in which Dennis Abbott and Donald Granberg were having a heated discussion on the political significance of the rising cost of pickled herring. Carol Berggren was acting as stenographer, since she really didn ' t know shorthand. Outside, Everett Willey, vice-president, presented Joanne Matis with the key ring to the city for her efforts in planning the transportation for gold- fish. She beamed happily as Barbara Childs took her picture for Jane Tienhaara ' s newspaper. By now it was getting late, so we headed back to the rocket depot. Jean Fogg, a receptionist at the depot, informed us that our rocket wasn ' t due for a few minutes. I tuned in on Marilyn Flagg ' s trans- planetary disc-jockey show. I heard Bella La Hair ' s newest recording, Pennies From Mars, and an advertisement for Jean Dufur ' s colored gas masks. Then Arthur Alisio announced that our ship had arrived. At the door, Robert Davis and Robert Rich took our tickets, and Vivian Bashaw sold souvenirs and programs. I saw the mechanics, Margaret Ford and Carol Kirkpatrick, giving the rocket a last- minute check. Carol Rosenlund and Edward Shep- hardson, who had organized the trip and were in charge of the group, closed the door of the ship and as soon as I was settled, we were off again. I leaned back, and as we started home I thought about that time when we had all been in school together and how far we all had come since then. There was no doubt about it, even thirty years later the class of 1957 of W. R. H. S. was the best and most successful of all.

Students invade the privacy of businessmen and private homes and plead with their parents to buy ads so that the Yearbook can be paid for. Editors and reporters are seen all over the school getting assigned reports written so that they can meet the deadline. The Senior class is prouder of its Yearbook than anything else they may do in school. First Row, left to right: B. Clark, J. Silver, M. Davis, J. Calkins, S. Kortes, L. Cook, M. Bolster, H. Broda, L.

In the new system now set up there are at least two monitors for every corridor to make sure that the people in the corridors during class or activity period have permission to be there. The monitors are chosen mainly from the senior class with a few from the junior class. They must volunteer for the job and have sufficient free time to enable them to be in the corridor for a full period. First Row, left to right: S. Lloyd, J. Horrigan, S. Carlson, K. Sim- monds, C.

THE SCIENCE FAIR The Science Fair first came to Wachusett last year when the Kiwanis Club of Worcester announced that the 1st Worcester County Science Fair was to be held under their sponsorship. The Fair is a place where a student interested in scientific work may exhibit his original work and see what others have done. If his project is good and he wins, he gets a chance to compete in the Worcester Regional Fair and if he wins again, in the National Science Fair. Any student enrolled in grades 10, 11, or 12 in a public school in Worcester may enter. The entries are judged on creative ability, scientific thought, thoroughness, skill, clarity, and dramatic value. Chemistry Club First Row, left to right: M. Ford, C. Davey, B. Holmes, C.

The members learn how to use a camera and developing equipment correctly. They are allowed to try their own methods and experiments and have turned out many fine pictures of school athletics and activities such as the Senior Play. The officers and advisors arrange for speakers and movies for their regular meetings. Besides contests inside the club, the members also set up a photography contest, which anybody in the school may enter, and the entries are judged with some help from the faculty. The officers are Stephen Neale, president; Judith Pendleton, vice-president; Eileene MacKizer, secretary; Bonnie Bigelow, treasurer. The executive board of this newly formed club is Marsha Hilton, president; Linda O ' Janne, vice-president; Judy Maddocks, secretary; Maureen Cove, treasurer.

The football season ended at Wachusett Regional High in a successful manner. The team won four games while losing three. One week before school began, the squad started reporting. Seven regulars were missing from the previous year, but the squad had had some experience. The team elected Don Perry and Buddy Amidon co-captains for the year. Mr. Pinto, our new coach, worked the squad hard to get ready for their season. Wachusett ' s first encounter was at the Jamboree at Northbridge, and our opponent was Westboro. Westboro scored 20 points while Wachusett was held scoreless. The next week we went to the Athletic Field in Worcester to play Classical High. The first half of the game was scoreless with Wachusett fum- bling often. In the second half Wachusett controlled the ball almost throughout, and in the last quarter, Bruce Kingdon scored two touchdowns on runs of 5 and 75 yards. Stewart Bailey scored an extra point on a rush. Our next game was with Gardner. Gardner, a bigger and harder hitting team, went on to win, 40-7. VARSITY FOOTBALL — First Row, left to right: B.

Auborn jumped out to a 12-0 lead in the first half, even though Wachusett repeatedly was deep within Auburn territory. In the second half, Wachusett came back with 13 points to win in the last four minutes. Bob Sanders scored on a plunge and Bruce Kingdon scored after the touchdown was set up by a 50-yard run by Roger Lindfors. Our fourth game was against Shrewsbury High at Holden. Once again Wachusett came from behind in the closing minutes. Roger Lindfors scored around the end on a 14-yard run to put Wachusett ahead. Bruce Kingdon scored the other touchdown on a pass from Lindfors and a run which covered 67 yards. The final score was Wachusett 13, Shrewsbury 7. Wachusett next played two teams from Fitchburg, Notre Dame and St. Bernard ' s. We suffered defeats from both Notre Dame 26, Wachusett 12, and St. Ber- nard ' s 18, Wachusett 6. Our last game was against Mary Wells High of Southbridge. Wachusett won, 20-7, and came from behind to do it. Southbridge jumped out to a 7-0 lead in the early part of the game, but the tide began to turn when Don Perry intercepted a pass and ran 81 yards for a touchdown. At this point our line started to outplay Southbridge ' s and, as a result, we went on to score twice more. Seniors on the team were as follows: Buddy Ami- don, Bob Sanders, Don Granberg, Jon Robison, Jon Miles, Don Perry, Franny Jennette, Bill Balcolm, Bob Johnson, and Ray Lantinen. Others receiving varsity letters were Jim Cunningham, Bruce Kingdon, Roger Lindfors, Dick Labossiere, Stewart Bailey, Bill Zinno, Ronny Henderson, Ronny Schofield, Bob Barr, Ward Henson, and Jerry Brodeur. Mr. Pinto and Mr. Ream did a great job of coaching the team this season and deserve our sincerest thanks and appreciation. VARSITY FOOTBALL — First Row, left to right: J. Miles, J. Robison, P.

Led by co-captains Bud Amidon and Fran Jennette, we had some exciting moments when we defeated Auburn by two points in the final minute, and when Shrewsbury lost to us by three points in a double overtime game. When we played Grafton at the Wachusett Gym, we defeated them by one point, Joe Kapulka, the team ' s high scorer, got the winning basket with seven seconds to play. There were disappointments, too, when Uxbridge defeated us 51-49, and when Auburn defeated us 57-52. Wachusett had two victories over Westboro, and single victories over Auburn, which finished second in the league, Shrewsbury, Clinton, Bartlett of Webster, Uxbridge and Grafton. Two of the best games that we played were the winning games against Shrewsbury and Auburn, in both of which we came from behind. Seniors on the team were co-captain Bud Amidon, the playmaker of the team and a regular for two years, co-captain Franny Jennette who, although he was the smallest member of the team, had the most points for one game, 21 scored against Auburn, and John Torrant who was new to the school but became the second highest scorer on the team. Other players on the team were Joe Kapulka, Hank Miller, Brad Carson, Roger Lindfors, Paul Flanagan, Dan Trombi, Bruce Kingdon. Mr. Sell, the varsity coach, and Mr. Harrity, the junior varsity coach, turned in excellent jobs with both teams and this is appreciated by all. vji 1 i 4 r ; Vv — ' i w _ A Y ' ? ' Gitls ' Basketball Wachusett Regional High School ' s girl ' s basket- ball season officially started on January 4th. The team got off to a fine start by defeating the Millbury six, 31-17. On January 11th the Wachusett team traveled to Northbridge and beat them, 44-36. The Shrewsbury girls came to Holden on January 25th, but Wachusett proved the stronger and Shrewsbury lost, 45-26. On January 28th, Wachusett again met Millbury, this time on Millbury ' s court, but Wachusett came out on top, beating their rivals, 36-16. On February 1st, on their home floor, the Wachusett six trampled Leominster, 48-22. The Wachusett team played host to Northbridge on February 6th for the highest scoring game of the season. Wachusett again whipped the oppos- ing team, 48-37. On February 8th, the Shrewsbury girls came to Holden for the final game of the season, but Wachusett proved the rightful possessors of the title undefeated by beating Shrewsbury, 45-25. Joyce Larson was high scorer with 24 points. The Varsity squad starting lineup for Wachusett consisted of the following: Carol Majewski and Joyce Larson (co-captains), Judith Decker, Diane Webster, Grace Tambolleo, and Betty Fogg. High scorers for the season were Judy Decker and Joyce Larson who averaged about 15 points a game. The J.V. ' s also ended the season undefeated. Both teams have been outstanding and both have been fortunate to have outstanding coaches. They have well earned the title, undefeated, and since Grace Tambolleo is the only senior, the team can look forward to next year with high hopes.

FIELD HOCKEY . . . The Wachusett Girls ' Hockey season official- ly began on October 2, although the team had begun practicing two weeks after the return to school in September. The varsity first-string lineup was comprised of the fol- lowing: Allegra Johnson (captain), Georgiana Pruneau, Carol Ann Watts, Carol Majewski, Catherine Kristoff, Joyce Larson, Mary Mar- telli, Judith Decker, Faith Wheeler, Cecile Hyland, and Dorothy Mayo. On October 2, the girls traveled to Leom- inster for their first game. The Leominster team proved too fast for the Wachusett eleven and Wachusett lost is first game, 2-1. The next week on October 9, following a hard practice session, the team met Auburn on home grounds and Auburn fell, 1-0. Two days later, the Wachusett girls faced Millbury at home and the game ended with a 2-0 victory for Wachusett. On October 16, the Wachusett team again met Leominster, this time in Holden. The girls came through with some excellent teamwork and soundly defeated Leominster, 3-2, in one of the most exciting games of the season. Two days later, the team traveled to Gardner. Although Wachusett played hard, Gardner managed to break through the de- fense in the last minute of play to score and Wachusett suffered its second defeat. Octoebr 25 saw the players lined up against Auburn on the Auburn field. The game ended in a scoreless tie. On October 29, on home ground, Wachusett and Shrewsbury fought a hard battle, but the determined Wachusett girls chalked up another victory, 1-0. The following day the team traveled to Millbury. They were in for a surprise because they found their opponents a much stronger team. Neither was willing to give in, and again the end of the game revealed a score- less tie. The fast, ball-carrying eleven from Gard- ner came to Wachusett ' s field on November 5. Wachusett proved to be the stronger and came out in the clear with a well-deserved 3-0 victory. Wachusett faced Shrewsbury at Shrews- bury for the last game of the year and again there was a tie score, 1-1. During this game there were two penalty bullies, quite uncommon in high school hockey. Throughout the season, Wachusett has scored twelve times against their opponents. Top scoring honors go to Captain Allegro Johnson and Carol Majewski who scored four goals each. The varsity members playing their last field hockey competition for Wachusett are Allegro Johnson, Georgiana Pruneau, and Carol Ann Watts. The J.V. ' s came through the season with a record of six wins, two ties, and one loss. Many thanks go to the coaches — Mrs. Moulton (Varsity) and Miss Costa (Junior Varsity) who have given the team so much help, inspiration, and time. Our ever faithful managers — Nancy Ly- man, Joyce Buxton, Shirley DeLuca, and Grace Tambolleo — also deserve recognition. They were wonderful! The season has been very successful and next year ' s team has prospects of being another top-rate squad. Good luck, kids! GIRLS ' VARSITY HOCKEY — First Row, left to right: C. Watts, A Johnson, C.
