BUKER Forty-nine years of active devotion and dedication to education is being successfully completed this year. We feel, since eleven of those years have been fruitfully spent in Holden, that Mr. Buker deserves our thanks, our sincere gratitude, and our profound respect. In all seriousness we thank you all For dedicating your lives that we might learn What is requisite to lead the world on. What to say—where to turn. We seldom acknowledge how hard you worked To prepare us in the way which you knew Would benefit us in years to come. Whatever may happen—whatever we do. We cannot express the thanks which we owe To you who have built our lives not on sand But firmly on rock that we may be ready To bear the burdens of leading the land. 11 AAR. EDAAUND D.

Participation in extracurricular activities helps to prepare students for a split with home life and a taking up of individual responsibilities in college or on the job. Here is a record of all we, the Class of 1959, have accomplished in these four years. We hope it demon¬ strates to all who read it that when all the members of a class accept their responsibilities and work to¬ gether, much is learned and much fun is had. Entering the modern portals of vast Wachusett for the first time, we, the representatives of six relatively small towns gasped in astonishment at what lay before us for four years. To the right and left of us were con¬ fusing mazes of corridors stretching for what seemed miles into various wings. Only by trial and error could we find our respective classrooms; this, of course, being much to the amusement of the lordly upperclassmen. Getting into the swing of things, however, we quickly adjusted ourselves to the long, stretching lunch lines, crowded corridors, hustle and bustle of gym classes, and the agony of lost locker keys. We became veterans and finally made the grade. Class elections were soon held. The capable officers elected to represent the Class of 1959 were William Zinno, president; Larry Sylvester, vice president; Helen Garside, secretary; and Janet Lofgren, treasurer. Class meetings were called by the president to determine class dues and to discuss various other topics of im¬ portance to the class. With true class spirit, we began to participate in many of the activities offered by the school. In chorus, band, and glee club were found the musical members of our class, while sports claimed those interested in athletics. In the meantime, still others of us were ac¬ tively participating in Latin, French, Library and Science Clubs, these not only being extracurricular activities, but beneficial additions to class work in these subjects as well. .. . We saved and hoarded our pennies to buy tickets to games and dances sponsored by the Student Coun¬ cilor individual classes for the benefit of the student body. Naturally, we all flocked to the senior play to watch a very enjoyable production. As the year went by, we found ourselves becoming more and more a part of high school life, giving and taking of the extended advantages offered to us. When the last month of our freshman year came into view with its final exams and last minute flurries of excite¬ ment, we experienced a certain amount of satisfaction and pride in the year ' s work. Up to the close of school,, we lived in a state of anticipation mixed with despair until we received our report cards. Wonder of wonders! They announced that next year we would no longer be freshmen, but sopho¬ mores! With this to look forward to, school was ad¬ journed for the summer vacation, bringing an end to a wonderfully varied and eventful year. With the realization that we were no longer Wachu- sett ' s youngest, we returned to school a little more worldly-wise and sophisticated than we were at this same time last year. Of course, we in turn looked down on the new freshmen and treated them the same way we had been treated. Classes soon began in earnest, but this year we had no trouble in finding our classrooms. Those elected to manage the affairs of the Class of ' 59 in the coming year were Larry Sylvester, president; Harold Vickery, vice president; Helen Garside, secretary; and Doris Pa¬ quette, treasurer. Since we had so capable a group in the Student Council, the best interests of our class were well represented. This year, more than ever, we began to be conscious of the talents bestowed upon our fellow classmates. In athletics, the names of William Zinno, Ronald Hen¬ derson, Robert Hughes, John Larson, Ronald Granberg, Judith Decker, Cecile Hyland, Betty Steele, Betty Fogg, Janet Lofgren, and many others became synonymous with great competitive spirit. Many of our classmates names headed the honor lists time and time again. Winter came bringing with it many dances and the annual Christmas play, in which many of our sopho¬ mores performed. June was upon us much too quickly. It seemed that the year had fairly flown by. The inevitable report cards were marked, telling us that from now on we : were to be upperclassmen. This wonderful news filled us with pride and delight, and as the summer holiday - drew near, we looked forward to the day we would return to school as juniors. At last September, 1957, rolled around the Mountain and we were upperclassmen. Even though we hadn ' t lost our vitality and our everlasting potential, our West t Boylston classmates had left our doorstep for one of their own. However, the fall semester descended upon us with a burst of steam in our classes and on our ath¬ letic field. Junior boys who assisted the Mountaineers during the football season were Wayne Wagner, John Larson, Bill Zinno, Jerome George, Willy Davis, and Ronald Henderson. The boys were greatly encouraged by the spirited efforts of our school ' s cheerleaders, two of whom, Elaine Anderson and Sandra Smith, were serving as proud representatives of our class. On the feminine side of our athletic field, the Varsity Hockey team was having another successful year with the able assistance of eight of our classmates: Linda Field, Elaine Adams, Betty Steele, Geraldine Connors, Janice Holmes, Cecile Hyland, Judy Decker, and Mar¬ jorie Hodgson. 52 Class of 1959 This fall at Wachusett a new sport emerged—fall track. Under the able assistance of our class, the cross¬ country team gained an enviable record. Bob Lund (un¬ defeated) and Dick Flagg, co-captains and high scorers, along with two other high scorers. Bob Day and Jerry Sherwin, were our class ' proud contributions. After such a vigorous football season, we enthusiasti¬ cally turned to basketball. Our class made up one-half of Wachusett ' s successful basketball team through Bob Majewski, Brian Phillips, Bob Hughes, Bill Zinno, and Michael Power. The girls ' basketball team ' s undefeated season was definitely gained through the energy of Cecile Hyland, Martha Otto, Marjorie Hodgson, Faith Travis, Geraldine Connors, Judy Decker, Betty Hubbard, and Betty Fogg. Spring brought to us success, joy, and deep sadness. Success came through our baseball team which included Bob Day and John Zalansky and our spring track with Dick Flagg, Bob Lund, Bill Zinno, and John Larson. May 23, Martian Holiday, our junior prom, filled us with joy and satisfaction due to its tremendous suc¬ cess. Iris Mardirosian and Ronnie Wood, co-chairman, and Janice Malo, head of the decorations department, are those to be thanked for this success. However, our class saw another side of life during its Junior year, grief and the loss of two classmates. Suzanne Fiske and Brent DeWalt died within a very short time of each other, leaving us in tears of sorrow. June 30 was approaching fast, and in the midst of summer heat and scholastic finals, we chose the peo¬ ple to lead us next year. Iris Mardirosian and Gordon MacPhee were chosen the co-editors of our yearbook. Our senior class officers were elected with William Zinno as president; Cecile Hyland, vice president; Edith Mooney, treasurer; and Elaine Anderson, secretary. We officially became seniors on September 3, 1958, and naturally we were just the best little ole senior class Wachusett had ever tried to hold within its walls! As seniors we had to face many added burdens, among the first of which was our Senior Play. Following a pep talk by our drama instructor, Mr. Barker, a grand total of twenty-one boys and one lonely, but happy girl was cast for our two-act play Mr. Rob¬ erts. Under the capable guidance of Mr. Barker and his stage manager Marjorie Hodgson, the crew of the AK601 worked diligently to piece our play together. The back-stage crew, Mr. Bowes, Mr. Lindbergh, and the front office all worked their fingers to the bone to give Mr. Roberts the perfect touch. Opening night came so fast, yet our crew with its leading men, Bill Zinno, Ronald Henderson, Bob Hughes, Ronald Wood, and Robert Brodeur, and its alternating ladies Elaine Anderson, Sue Hilsinger, and Roberta Zimmerman were ready and waiting to do a splendid job. Our play was the first to be presented at Wachusett for three nights standing—we were so proud! During all this hubbub our football team was rolling up a very worthy record. Its co-captains. Bill Zinno, John Larson, and Phil Helle, Ronnie Henderson, Will Davis, Bob Hughes, Ron Lamoine, Wayne Wagner, and Ron Granberg did their job along with the rest of our class¬ mates, to compile this record. Judith Decker and Cecile Hyland were the Girls ' Hockey Team ' s co-captains during our last year at W.R.H.S. The girls from our class, Betty Steele, Joyce Wilman, Helen Zottoli, Linda Field, Marjorie Hodgson, Janice Holmes, Geraldine Connors, and Elaine Adams helped the team score its third undefeated season. In its second year, Wachusett ' s fall track team fol¬ lowed its excellent record of last year. Our class mem¬ bers who participated were Bob Lund and Dick Flagg (co-captains). Bob Day and John Hyland. Elaine Anderson, our class representative and cap¬ tain of the cheerleaders, kept our school spirit going strong throughout football and basketball. After our last Christmas vacation at Wachusett, we came back to school and another exciting basketball season. During th ' e season the boys, Bob Hughes and Mike Power, co-captains, Brian Phillips, Ted Hyland, Bill Zinno, John Larson, Kendall Cross, Bob Day, and Robert Majewski, did their best to make us proud of them. The girls had another wonderfully successful season under the leadership of their co-captains Betty Hubbard and Judith Decker. Everyone will agree that our sports life was exciting, but our happiest night was that of March 20, 1959. Our faces were pictures of complete joy and satisfac¬ tion as we danced the night away under the breath¬ taking motif of our Senior Prom— Misty Moments. While we were enjoying the wonderful music of Eddie Sham ' s orchestra we could not help but feel a deep sense of gratitude to Janice Malo, Robin Moule, Audrey Scott, Barbara Fairbanks, Rhuhamah Gaw, and all our other fellow classmates who contributed so much to make this night one none of us will ever forget. Time simply flew past us and before we knew it spring had arrived bringing with it successful baseball and track seasons. As June 1 approached we were kept busy with final examinations and, of course, gradua¬ tion preparations. It was wonderful being together for our Senior Ban¬ quet at which we all ate our fill and received our Year¬ books. After struggling through the last final exams we will ever take at Wachusett, we rehearsed feverishly for that big night of our Senior year. Here all we have accomplished is set before us, and we may realize as never before how much fun we have had and how much we have learned in such a short while. We are now ready to go out into the world, and we hope the years ahead may be as profitable as those we spent at Wachusett Regional High School.

RUTH PRATLEY RONALD WOOD HELEN ZOTTOLI THOMAS MOORE THEME: A TOUR THROUGH THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS Pwpkectj.i I I Come with us; we are going on a trip into the fu¬ ture to check up on some old high school friends from the fabulous class of 1959, at Wachusett Regional High School. We have heard rumors that many of our class¬ mates drifted to Washington, D. C., after graduation, and we have decided to visit the Library of Congress there to see who we can see. We have been invited to tour the library with the Honorable Sultan Will Davis, ruler of Shish-Ka-Bob, who is visiting Washington for a conference with the Presi¬ dent. With him are his wife, the former Marguerite Sinkewich of Paxton, Massachusetts, his secretary, Larry Carlson, and his famous underworld body guards, Carl Hurst and Michael Lanciani. We feel well protected if nothing else! We enter the Library through the door, naturally, and approach the information desk to our right, where we see none other than Betty Hubbard employed as infor¬ mation girl. Betty intrduces us to the special guide assigned to the Sultan, Kendall Cross, who leads us first to the elevator. We remember that K. C. always did like to take people for a ride. Up we go at eighty miles an hour to the twelfth floor, chatting meanwhile with the elevator operator, who is David Ellis. The first department we come to after leaving the elevator and David, is a record room which sounds pretty good. Going nearer we hear the lovely soprano voice of Elaine Ahlfors singing the title tune from the Broadway Musical hit, Aunty Maimed, in its 26th year of success. When we enter the room we are immediately drawn to the album collection and begin to look through it. We aren ' t too surprised to see Geraldine Connor with a guitar on the cover of the first album, Gerry Sings Elvis; looking further we come upon another familiar name on the cool album Jazz Interpretations of Paul Gray; and in the classical section we find The New Un¬ finished Symphony written by the old master himself, Dave Burnham. At a table to the rear we notice a lovely blonde head bent over a large volume. The head belongs to Roslyn Mason who is reading the Encyclopedia of Contemporary Musicians by Wayne Wagner. Wayne used to sing in the shower. Next to Roslyn we find Peter Tarbell pouring pver the latest (19—) Who ' s What. Under C he has found the Cobb Twins, famous for their Extra safe safety-car. We hear a loud crash and rush into the next room to find Graeme Eldridge under a pile of books on the floor. He had toppled from his ladder where he had been dusting books on the top shelf. We pick up one book which is an autobiography of Phil Helle entitled My Grave Moments. Leaving this scene we walk over to a room of cen¬ sors where we find the head censor is Suzanne Dione. (We don ' t know whose head she censors). The book on which she is working is was a Wild Wild Child by Paula Farrell. Her assistant, Sue Hilsinger, comes bounding in with the latest scandal, How I Love My Thunderbird, a book by Helen Zottoli. In the corridor again we see a door marked Modern Dance Class and decide to peek in. We find Margie Hodgson and Judy Sperl coached by the co-ordination expert, Martha Anne Otto. After talking to the girls we learn that John Larson and Ronald Granberg are planning to join the ballet dancing class soon. Next, we decide to stop in at the lounge for a little relaxation before continuing our trip. As we sink back in our Pooped People Chairs invented for the library by Joan Furmanick, we become conscious of an ear¬ piercing ring. We hop up and to our amazement see John Grinkas in a Santa Claus suit vigorously ringing a little bell beside his pot. We are quite refreshed after this and continue on our tour, visiting next the library ' s art exhibit. A love¬ ly painting catches our eyes as we enter, and upon looking closer we see that it is the well known work Hooper ' s Mother by Neal. Going further we come upon a small modern art class in session. Here we see Albert Fontaine, Gail Curtis, and Paul Anderson, with their instructor, Bar¬ bara (Michelangelo) Fischer. We peek around Gail ' s ; easel and see that she is designing a new wrapper for Mother Gaw ' s Whole Grit Bread. We leave the painters and stumble into a sculpturing class where all the students are working together on a giant economy size statue of the famous Broadway star Roberta Zimmerman. We strike up a conversation with Alan Creamer, who points out Janet MacGregor, work¬ ing on the statue ' s head, Carol Clapp molding the arms I and legs, and Gerry Alisio helping here and there. Library messenger Joan Davis comes in with the tele¬ gram that Sir Thomas Pepin of Scotland Yard will be in at ten to question the class about his latest case. It seems that the visiting British dignitary Theodore Hy¬ land was robbed of his English bike yesterday while he attended art class. Hearing raucous music we again run to the window and see a huge parade marching by. We notice that all the marchers are light-headed and then see a big sign reading Annual American Blondes ' Convention, carried by Elaine Adams, Sandra Kivisto, Betty Fogg, Janet Larson, Melanie Widing, Dianne Erickson, and Jordan Dean leading the parade. They are holding their convention just outside of town at Friel ' s Irish Food Farm, run, of course, by Maureen, an authority on Irish Food Farms. Our guide, Mr. Cross, reminds us that we have not yet visited the motion picture room, and so we decide to make that our next stop. We board the elevator and zoom down six floors to floor six. When the elevator door opens we are nearly run down by two important¬ looking ladies. Turning around we see that on their i backs are huge packs stamped M. F. Sons, Termite Exterminators. We call out angrily to these rude women and when they turn around, lo and behold, they are Peggy Miles and Linda Field. So of course we stop a 3lass of ' 59 minute to chat and are told that the girls have been hired to inspect the library for bookworms. After our conversation we hurry on to the motion picture room to view Ronald Q. LeMoine ' s latest film extravaganza, Was a Teenage Mongoose, adapted for the screen from the novel My Seventeen Years in the Jungle by Barbara Fitch. The movie is just starting this minute as we tiptoe in and sit down. In the list of credits we notice a few familiar names: Special Sound Effects (Monkey Screams and Hyena Giggles) by Carol Vanesse; Monkey ' s coiffeurs styled by Mary Holopainen; lion skins fitted by Nancy Nygard. The movie begins— It ' s a beautiful day in the jungle and we see our star; Pat Sanders, driving her Jeep recklessly over fallen coconuts and between tall palms, a gun in one hand, a compass in the other, and a half-baked anchovy in her mouth. She seems to be heading for a day of hunting in the jungle. As she pulls up her jeep beside a row of little grass huts, out comes co-star Jill Jefrey with her rifle ready to join Pat for their dangerous trek into Bongo Bongo land in their search for the nearly extinct yel low-bellied Mongoose. This is the last day of the girls ' safari which they won as a prize on the TV Quiz show, $64,000 Fraud or Know Your Encyclopedia. The two drive on a little further till they come to a small clearing in the center of which sits a little white hospital. A white figure steps through the doorway and we see the jungle ' s angel of mercy, Mary Ellen Murphy, R. N., P. Q. S. T., who is going along to help in an emergency, in case the girls bag a pygmy instead of a Mongoose. Pat starts the car and they zoom off into the deep, dark jungle. The scene fades and picks up again two hours later at the huge water hole. Three fashionably dressed cannibal women, played by Patricia Billsten, Barbara O ' Handley, and Elizabeth Laig, are stooped over looking at a small object on the ground. We realize with horror that it ' s Pat ' s compass, which she must have dropped while passing through. So the three girls are lost alone in the cannibal territory! The women utter a few strange words which sound like oo,ee,oo- ah-ah, ting-tang, walla-walla, bing-bang, and taking the compass, head down a narrow path. Night falls (thud) and out of the darkness come two headlights, immedi¬ ately followed by a jeep. It ' s our poor lost hunters try¬ ing to find their way home. Suddenly with wild shouts, a tribe of Bongo Bongo ' s rushes out and surrounds the girls. Under the charcoal we recognize the features of Robert Day, Leslie Allen, and Gene Carlson among the cannibals. With spears raised they violently force the girls from the jeep and into the Bongo village. We fear the worst for our girls. The scene switches to the Bongo campfire; more na¬ tive women, played by Judy Wisner, Joan Jatrinksi, and Bev Haddad, are gleefully boiling water in a huge black cauldron and preparing for a feast. As the cap¬ tives are dragged in and tied to stakes, the whole tribe gathers and forms a circle around them. To the wild drum beats of the official jungle drum thumper, Janet Cole, the cannibals chant wildly, while three young girls, Sandra Blaisdell, Barbara Kapulka, and Joanne Prescott, do a native dance around the pot. We are so engrossed in the movie that we fail to hear our guide ' s whispers and when he nudges us, we jump with shock. To our dismay, we have to leave the pic¬ ture just as the men close in! Back outside in the corridor, we have to squint in the bright light, and sigh with relief that it was just a movie and not real. Our tour has come to an end, but before we leave the Library, we want to visit the gift nook on the first floor and stop for a minute at the coffee shop next door. This time our elevator operator turns out to be Audrey Scott, who is so flustered at seeing the Sultan in his turban that she presses the emergency button by mis¬ take. This imediately turns on the sprinkler system and we enjoy a light shower. She finally finds the right button, and we travel rapidly to the first floor. After emerging from our dousing, we go over to the hot air vent in one wall to dry off. Seeing our predicament, a lobby hostess, Adele Ackley, brings us warm towels and warm apologies for our discomfort. Needing some hot coffee to settle our nerves, we enter the coffee shop and sit at the counter. After reading the menu we order Madame Rouseau ' s French Pastry with our coffee, remembering that Carol was a cellmate—a schoolmate of ours back in the good old days. The coffee and pastry are delicious, and after re¬ laxing there for a few minutes we continue on to our last stop, the gift nook. When we come to the souvenir case, we have to wait a while because the clerk, Carolyn Spencer, and Linda Bond, her customer are discussing how to care for the baby elephant Linda had just bought for her Republican niece. We browse around but be¬ cause all our money got wet we ' re too embarrassed to spend it. Out on the sidewalk, finally, we button up our coats against the wind and buy a newspaper, the Washington Echo, from corner newstand owner, Don Baril. The glar¬ ing headlines Explosion Ruins Massachusetts School meet our eyes and reading further we discover that James Reidy, noted chemist, finally fulfilled his life ' s dream, blew up Wachusett Regional High School, his old alma mater. With our newspaper in hand we climb into the Sul¬ tan ' s waiting limousines. But just as we are pulling away from the curb, the little man in red comes running up to the cars and calls, Ho, Ho, Ho, Merry Christmas!
