The 30 extra-curricular activities offer opportunities for students to broaden their horizons by choosing among the service, special interest, ex- ploration and sport groups. Among these groups are the band and 68 baton corps, which perform at games and represent the school helping arouse the spirit of the team. Through the successful efforts of various organizations enough money was raised to enable the band and twirlers to purchase their smart-looking new uniforms. ' .f ,.11. 515' ,lu ,Sm fl!

Each homeroom elects a representative and an alternate to represent them in the council. In turn, the representative brings beforesthe council questions and ideas given them by members of their homeroom. The council votes on the items. In this way, the Student Council tries to bring better under- standing between faculty and students. Student Council Displays Leadership The Student Council of Waterford High School, under the direction of D. Harold Goldberg and Miss Marian Lenci, acts as a liaison between the student body and the administration. President Donald Delmore presides over meetings which are held every Tuesday during the X-period in room S-15. Each homeroom elects one representative to the Student Council. The officers are seniors who are elected by the student body. 70 Some of the many services rendered by the council were the organization of assemblies, the chartering of clubs and the ac- ceptance of the CIAC code of good sportsmanship. Its social activities included a welcoming party for new students of the high school, a variety show, a sock hop and a dance. The pro- ceeds of the variety show helped to meet the travel expenses for the foreign exchange student. Student Council conferences held within the state were at- tended by representatives from Waterford High. Two of the conferences were the Lakeville conference and the regional conference of the Connecticut Federation of Student Councils. Both meetings were organized to exchange ideas and objec- tives between student councils from all over the state. Some of the problems that were discussed within the walls of S-15 were another X-period, the code of dress and the smok- ing privilege. Among the speakers heard was cafeteria director Mrs. Doris Rich, who discussed the expenses of the cafeteria and the possibility of buying extra meat portions. It seemed as though the Lancers were eating more during the playing seasons. Another speaker was Principal Clarence Coogan, who made frequent visits to discuss and answer pertinent questions. His presence and his answers to student questions helped to strengthen the ties between the students and administration. LAKEVILLE CONFERENCE REPRESENTATIVES were chosen from the members of the Student Council. They are Penny Engdahl, Jeannette MacDonald and john Thompson. The purpose of the sum- mer conference which they attended in Lakeville, Connecticut, was to analyze and improve student councils in secondary schools. Miss Emma Burdick was the accompanying teacher on the trip. OFFICERS of the 1959-1960 Student Council'are shown here with their advisor, D. Harold Goldberg.

The fall play, The Night of january 16th, was presented on Dec. 4 and 5. A courtroom comedy, the jury consisted of people picked at random from the audience. Each night there was a different jury and each night there was a different verdict. The spring play, Oar Heartr Were Yoang and Gay, was a hilarious comedy presented on April 29 and 50. The play centered around the escapades of two zany girls and again in a feature role was our foreign exchange student, Alain Velut.

The band put on its marching shoes to appear in three parades. Along with the twirlers they marched in the Waterford and New London Memorial Day Parades and in Waterford's Veterans Day Pa- rade. A11 three parades gave the band a chance to show their fine ability in the playing of marches. The band did not only confine itself to playing marches but was capable of playing standout symbolic works, contemporary works and novelties. In the Christmas and Spring concerts the band presented a program which contained varied pieces of music. The band was its busiest during the football season when they played at all of the home games. They even traveled to Fitch and Killingly High to play the away games there. Marching on to the field during half time they would go into their formations and play rousing marches. When it was especially cold the band seemed to march and play even harder. Some of the other events which saw the band play were the opening football rally and the student-faculty game. New additions were made to the band. Some percussion in- struments were added including snare and bass drums. Twenty- five new uniforms were also acquired which will accommo- date next yearis additional students. The money for the new uniforms was obtained from the Band Boosters fund which bought the band's first uniforms a year ago last spring. BAND.

Student Council members also spoke to the group, INCOMING FRESHMEN are about to enter Waterford High for a four-year stay. This is the first class to have the complete three upper classes to set the example for them. ti1l5fi.:5-:wifi tinted 21 Find a New Home de restslfa? tantttgf LOOKING OVER news from home is our French foreign exchange student, Alain Velut. Alain came to Waterford High by way of the American Field Service program Through this program we hope to send one of our students abroad this summer, This year's freshmen class, the largest to enter Waterford High, has had a very different background compared to pre- vious classes which have come to this school. This class had a special advanced group in which the students have been accelerated to adapt themselves to more advanced studies. This was the first class to be added since the original enroll- ment. Before they came to this school they were given a preview of freshmen life at a special orientation assembly last May. The students had a luncheon in the cafeteria and then went to the gym for the assembly. Mr. john Palmer, our first principal here, discussed the various phases of school life and ten other speakers gave the future freshmen class a look at school activi- ties and clubs. .V SEQ 1 O Z 1 l Last May the students of Waterford High School enthusi- astically raised the better part of Alain Velutls traveling ex- penses for his trip to the United States. He arrived at the home of Charles White in August and spent the remainder of the summer playing golf, swimming and sailing. Alain's curriculum this year consisted of U. S. History, bi- ology, senior college math, physics and English IV. He likes this school system because of its rotating schedule and free choice of subjects. After joining the French Club, Alain was elected president and he also is in the Dramatics Club. When he leaves school in june he will take a bus trip across Eastern United States with other foreign exchange students before sailing for France. ALAIN FOUND A NEW HOME with the Charles White family, who are the first in Waterford to 'adopt' a foreign ex- change student. While living with the Whites, Alain learned what home life in the United States is like. H, .ck fri ,iv NUTMEG STATE participant from this school is jimmy johnson. Here he relaxes' outside Hartford Hall at the University's 'city.' He and Marilyn Jones, Girls State delegate, shared the honors of the week-long affair. Waterford Students Away In June of 1959 Waterford High School was represented for the first time at the Connecticut American Legion Nutmeg Boys State and the Laurel Girls State. james Johnson and Marilyn jones, both new seniors, were chosen. The Boys and Girls States are held at the University of Connecticut where there were approximately 800 delegates from the entire state. At U-Conn they live in the school dormitories and attend meetings in the classrooms. At the Boys and Girls States the ideals, privileges, rights and responsibilities of American citizenship are reviewed. Besides the theory of American democracy they gain an idea of how it works in actual practice. The week which they spent at U-Conn consisted of more than scholarly studyg at various times the girls of Laurel State were guests of the boys from Nutmeg State for numerous social events. One was the inaugural ceremony, which is held on the last night of their stay. Jimmy and Marilyn agreed that the experience of being a delegate was a very rewarding one. U-CONN DORMS are behind Marilyn Jones as she comes from the parking lot. Marilyn was the representative for the Laurel State at U-Conn this summer.

School Gets Evaluation 'Report Card, The State Department of Education sent representatives to evalu- ate Waterford High School in the latter part of Ocober, 1959. The group spent two days at our school observing the school plant, classes, students and faculty members. Observations by the team resulted in many commendations as well as recommendations for the present and the future. The state group suggested some areas for further study including an addition to the present building for the future. However, major areas in the evaluation received a good or better rating. These areas are school staff, building, guidance, library, pro- gram of studies and pupil activity program. It pointed out in a short time commendable progress had been made within our school. As a result of the evaluation, Waterford High School was given institutional membership in the New England Association of Col- leges and Secondary Schools. MEMBERS of the Evaluation Team meet in the library with William Griffin and Miss Isabel M. Coulter, superintendent of the Waterford school system, to discuss and compare notes on the various aspects of the high school curriculum. The subject at hand is mathematics. 94 CHEERING THEIR LOUDEST, the seniors give their best in support of the football team at a pep rally this fall. Assemblies a Must for School Spirit This year marked the formation of Waterford High School's first assembly committee. This group, advised by Miss Marian Lenci, was chosen from among the membership of the Student Council and planned the various school assemblies for the year, Several pep rallies for football and basketball played an important part in having the school assemblies promote school spirit. The Christmas assembly included an explanation of Christmas festivities in many foreign countries by John Poetong jeffrey Blonder spoke about the jewish holiday, Hanukkah, and Joseph Segal read the original Christmas story from the Bible. In April the Theatre in Education group presented excerpts from three Shakespearean plays to a capacity audience in the cafeteria.

Waterford students Tony Gaetano, Barbara Romeo and Karen Ben- ker discuss the issue and its em- phasis on the importance of drama in education. Professionals and Amateurs The stage at Waterford High School was the scene of both amateur and profes- sional performances this year. The talents of Waterford High students and faculty were put on display at the Second Annual Variety Show sponsored by the Student Council. Edmund Hart, advisor of the Dramatics Club, was in charge of auditions and was assisted by a student committee. Another committee was in charge of publicity. Weeks before show time Mr. Hart and his committee could be seen auditioning and rehearsing talent in the cafeteria. When their job was completed they presented a wonderful show which included the twirlers, members of the band and, of course, the faculty. The proceeds of the show went to the aid of the foreign exchange student program. Professionals also appeared on our stage with a presentation of scenes from Shakespeare. The actors and actresses who appeared were a part of the Theater in Education. This group travels to various high schools performing scenes from Shakespeare's plays. Their performances give students the benefit of hearing Shake- speare re-enacted by professionals. Their visit to the high school has become an annual attraction which is eagerly awaited. 98 on Our Stage ROCKETTES Sherri Smith, Myrna Glasbrenner, Ann Goife, Kathy Patric, Ann Miller and Barbara Fliegel give a demonstra- tion of their talent The Varie Show Was held to raise addi- - YY tional funds for the foreign exchange student.

Other bas- ketball team members stand by for a similar award from Coach Francis Sweeney. Where an entire Waterford athletic team congregates there's bound to be action, so when all the teams get together there's all the more fun. This is what the sports banquet represents. In past years the athletes have received their letters at this time. Although they were presented at awards assemblies this year, the banquet was a big affair for team members, cheerleaders and twirl- ers. just as the Student-Faculty game was for the faculty. Each year this event becomes more and more hilarious as the teachers don quaint and curious costumes and invade the basketball court.

They know commencement time is drawing near. Off go the burdens of high school studying with final exams. Seniors underwent other testing during the year such as vocational tests, state employment and intelligence tests. In addition, college- bound students took College Board Examinations and often certain school's individual entrance tests. Seniors started to relax as their exit approached. Their idea of relaxing meant attending the various activities scheduled by and for their class. One of the first was the graduation formal, on june 4. 103 Q i FINALS call for the last ounce of this years concentration Seniors Paul Scarpa, Pete Bottinelli Frank Wrigley and Gail Santere took their last English IV exam at WHS -- - f' lvl K s wie.. .N Wg., 1 L : 1-1, 'fmt ,M FIRST YEARBOOK, first copy, is presented to the advisor of the first graduating class, Miss Rose- mary Carden, by the Excalibur 1960 Managing Editor Bruce Pritchard.

Since Waterford had previously sent its high schoolers to other secondary schools, this Class of 1960 has been unique. In a way they were part of an experiment. When the school was founded in 1956, during half sessions at Clark Lane School, they assumed positions of leadership. They established standards, precedents, traditions and policies. Business to be done included such things as school colors, code of dress, crest, clubs, publications, student government, teams, cheers, songs and names for every new thing, and everything was new. Graduates First Class in l6O-Year History These responsibilities were tackled with the enthusiasm characteristic only of freshmen. The willingness did not die in the following years as the class hurdled new tasks with increasing efficiency. It was no wonder that they so ably took over town gov- ernment positions on April 4 this year. They witnessed the growth of the faculty, physical plant, enrollment and curricula. Seniors were kept jumping with activities after final examinations were over. On June 6 they might have been found on the beach near the Harkness Memorial Estate. On the following day copies of their Exaclibur 1960 could have been found in their hands, as they were distributed to seniors at an assembly on june 7. Underclassmen received theirs the next morning. The evening of june 8 was occupied by the class banquet. Special guest speaker was john E. Palmer, first principal and organizer of WHS. Commencement exercises took place on june 17. Dr. Warren Horton spoke concerning education and its uses to suit what is ahead of us. This graduation ceremony of 160-odd pupils takes its place in the history of Waterford. Now the town has completed an entire educational system from kindergarten through twelfth grade. GRADUATION PROCESSIONAL of the Class of 1960 to the strains of Pomp and Circumrtance marks the beginning of a new tradition in the Waterford Public School System. Beneath the mortarboards are Russell Ficarra, Mildred Devine, Donald P'an, Kathy Patric and Brian Kennedy. 105 GRADUATION SPEAKER for the first high school class to be graduated from Waterford was Dr. joseph War- ren Horton.

These new additions to the Lancers have displayed im- portant characteristics, expert guidance and leadership. Waterford High School's Lancers opened their first season of varsity play with a loss to Fitch Senior High. Not dampened in the least by their loss, the Lancers came back with a stunning victory over Plainfield High on the home field. Don Lavoie stole the show at this game with three pass interceptions as the Lancers won 30-8. Coach Mignault had his hands full changing the lineup in this game when Ron Brouwer suffered a head in- jury. Other players who incurred injuries at various stages of the season were Butch Hayes, Jack Lamb and john McGowan. Waterford's remaining games were less successful but many times the games were close and each time Waterford made a good showing.

The players completed the season with a Won- lost record of 12-7 as compared with the 9-9 won-lost record of lastyear. A good percentage of the players have been playing under the di- rection of Coach Francis Sweeney for the last six years. The boys started playing basketball to- gether in junior high school and have continued through their senior year. This is the second year that Waterford High has had a full-fledged varsity basketball team. Many of the teams which Waterford competed against have had many years of solid experience to back up their team. COACH FRANCIS SWEENEY explains a few point- ers to jeff Linberg, tallest team member. Jeff is 6'4 and outstanding because of his towering height and his agility in the handling of the ball. .fhe largest crowd of spectators of the season crowded into the New London gym on january 8, 1960, to witness the hrst clash between Waterford High School and New London High School. ' This year marks the beginning of an interscholastic rivalry between the Waterford Lancers and the New London Whalers. The basketball season at Waterford High began on December 8 when the Lancers met the Daniel- son five for a sweeping victory. During the year, the Lancers continued to play other teams in Class B. On the afternoon before a game, a pep rally was held to rouse school spirit and create enthusiasm for the first season at Waterford. The Lancers traveled to Brooklyn, New York to meet Erasmus Tech. This was the longest trip the Lancers team has taken. The Lancers concluded their eventful season by entering the CIAC Tournament for the Class B schools. A LEAP into the air by Jeff Linbetg begins the Stonington game on jan. 15. Dick White's patient waiting paid off as the Lancers went on to win another victory with a score of 67-54. This game was one more win added to the record which soon brought the team into the tournament. TICKETS are sold to the avid fans of the WHS basketball team by Carlton Klocker. He was named as the first sports activities director, 113 CO CAPTAINS of the 1959-1960 varsity basketball ttiam were Mike Pennelli and Don Delmore. Owing to an injury during a mid-season game, Don did not see as much action as in the past. Their playing ability and team spirit were decisive factors in the attainment of a 12-7 won-lost record for the second varsity basketball season. JUMP SHOT by heavily-guarded Jeff Lindberg, No. 15, with Charlie Brown coming to the rescue was a successful one. How- ever, the New London Whalers won the game by a score of 68-37 on their home court. This was the first meeting between the two teams on the varsity level. DRIBBLING around New London player Bob Hullivan, Water- ford High's Charlie Brown tries to get closer to his basket. The Whalers surged ahead of the Lancers in the second half to a final 63-58 victory in the second encounter between the two teams. JUNIOR VARSITY TEAM members of Waterford High School include Ray Neal, Ray Romeo, Russ Stehn, Dick Hempstead and Dick Sullivan. Second row: Bill St. Clair, Willie Heath, John Harran and Coach Gerard Rousseau. Missing from the picture are Harold Winslow, Gary Rito and Pete Joyce.

Putnam High School, St. Bernard's High School, Griswold High School, Danielson High School, Robert E. Fitch Senior High School, Stonington High School and Norwich Technical High School. Many of the boys are now ready to play varsity ball. Under the guidance of Mr. Rousseau, the team ended the season with a 13-5 won-lost record. 115 Waterford High lost a heartbreaker to Abbott Tech at Southington Feb. 25 in our second Connecticut In- terscholastic Athletic Conference tournament try. The final score was Waterford 55 and Abbott Tech 57. Waterford High went into the tournament with a record of 12 wins and 7 defeats. Abbott Tech had an unbroken winning streak of 21 games. The CIAC had rated Waterford eleventh and Abbott Tech third, but the ratings do not tell the whole story. At the end of the first quarter we led 11-8. Throughout the rest of the game the lead passed back and forth with only a small margin between the teams. A LITTLE DISMAYED is Waterford's jimmy Butler, but not half as much as Abbot Tech's number 40. The reason for the strange look is a foul which has just been called on our opposition. In their last year of playing for Waterford High our seniors put up a good light against high-ranked Abbott Tech. The CIAC has set rigid standards for the teams which meet in tournament play. To qualify, a team must win at least 51 per cent of its games against teams in its own class or higher, and then be placed in the top twenty schools of its class by the CIAC rating system. There are three classes recognized by the CIAC which are ranked according to the number of students. These are small, medium and large. Waterford is classed as a medium-size school. The CIAC system for finding the top twenty teams in each class is rather complicated. A win from a team of a higher class at home counts six points, away seven points. A win from a team in the same class counts four points at home and six away. A win from a team in a lower class counts three points at home and four away. The twenty teams with the highest total play in the tournament. JUMPING HIGH for a shot is Jeff Linberg whose height proved to be an advantage in this tournament game against front-ranking Abbot Tech. 116 UNIQUE BALL HANDLING is displayed by Richard White 173, as he dribbles down court past an Abbot Tech guard. SHOOTING FROM THE CORNER of the court is Waterford's Mike Pennella. This peppy little guard kept Abbot Tech on its toes at the tournament game.

Early in March the track at Waterford High School became alive with a hardworking group of boys. These boys are the members of the Waterford High School track team. To the on- looker they seemed to be doing things under no set pattern. Some were throwing the shot, others were high jumping, still others were throwing the discus and javelin, while the re- mainder of the boys were running around the track in a seem- ingly aimless fashion. Track is mostly an individual sport, with each participant working against the tape, or the bar for his own personal satisfaction and for the good of the team. It is generally agreed that the 440-yard run, which is one quarter of a mile, is the hardest of all the running events. The hundred-yard dash, the 220 and the 880 and the mile are other running events. The event in which Waterford's track team excels in is the relay. In the relay there are 200 yards between four runners. The lead runner holds a baton which he runs with for 200 yards. He then has 10 yards in which to pass the baton to the next runner, etc. The tension is on the last runner and here is where a calm and cool boy is needed. Waterford's relay team seems to have all the quali- fications for it has been stated that it is one of the top Class B relay teams in the state. TRACK team members are From row: james Whiteg Robert Dumont, Gary Jackson, John McGowan, Cliff Scheinkman.

Second row: Coach Gerard Rousseau, Harold Hansen, Don Delmore, Bob Boutin, Arnie Holm, Ron Bugbee, Harold Winslow, Chuck Sponburgh and Phil Martin. The varsity team did very well, ending the 1959 season with a 10-4 ' -H. ' , . y , , record. At the start of the baseball season Hfty-five boys turned out for both teams. Coach Rousseau cut this down to fifteen varsity and twelve junior varsity players. During their winning season the teams used the Veterans Field for practice and home games because their regular field was not in condition. 120 CO-CAPTAINS Jim Butler and Tom Bordner, who helped to bring about the Lancers 10-4 rec- ord, review their signals before the game with the Stonington Bears. The Waterford High School Lancers successfully com- pleted the 1960 season under the expert leadership of Coach Gerard Rousseau. Coach Rousseau led the team to victories over such schools as Rham High, Robert E. Fitch Senior High, E. O. Smith, Norwich Tech, Killingly High and Bacon Academy. jim Butler was part of a smooth working combination of Tom Bordner and himself. Butler on the mound and Bordner behind the plate, usually held down the opposi- tion to a minimum of runs. Many members of the varsity team will graduate this year, but a number of them such as Brad Chaney and Harold Hansen will remain to lead the Lancers to victory in the future. The varsity team this past season has worked diligently to make Waterford High School's team one of the best in the state. The importance of the practice as well as good health has been stressed by Coach Rousseau. In their first Eastern Connecticut Conference competi- tion the varsity team has earned a 5-3 win-loss record for the season. Waterford High's jayvee team of 1960 has followed in the varsity team's footsteps and is prepared to take the lead in 1961. r1 '5'us.-Mt GUIDING his varsity team to a 10-4 record, Mr. Rousseau's players won second place in the Eastern Connecticut Conference.

Second Year for Undefeated Golf Team At the end of the 1959 sports season the Waterford High golf squad was the only undefeated team in the school. Besides this outstanding team record, the individual members took honors on their own. Brad Chaney has won the Elks junior Golf Tournament.

Their time paid off as WHS finished fifth, in the state for Class B schools. 125 irls The girls physical education program of Waterford High has made good progress in its two years of existence. For an active program it's necessary to have enough equip- ment to supply an entire class in a sport. Included in our present supply is volleyball, badminton, softball, basketball, hockey and archery equipment. The girls put all this equipment to good use in classes throughout the school year. 'SET IT UP' scream the teammates of Elaine Goodrow as she at- tempts to return the volleyball across the net. Frances Flaherty is ready and able to give assistance. This is only one example of the spirit of teammorlc that is a part of the game. BADMINTON is a popular game at Waterford High. The girls requires perfect co-ordination and agility. It also helps the girls in in this gym class are about to begin play.

Standing at first base, and waiting at bat Softball is the main sport in the spring Of all phases of the girls physical education pro- gram at Waterford, by far the most popular two are softball and basketball. The softball season begins in the spring and con- tinues until the end of school in June. After a winter inside the gym, the girls enjoy the open air sports again. This game offers the girls a chance to play on a team with others. Basketball starts for the girls after returning from Christmas vacation. They dribble, pivot, shoot and practice other fundamentals of the game until March. Both these sports are important because they re- quire teamwork. Girls rarely receive a chance to par- ticipate in group athletics after high school. These games inspire spirit and cooperation besides providing knowledge of the basic skills. The program of sports for girls is fairly young. New equipment is being ordered to widen the op- portunities for girl's participation in more types of sports. Shuffleboard and table tennis equipment are among that which has been ordered. With the size of the classes expanding, more badminton, hockey and softball equipment was bought this year.

Girls on the archery field became a familiar sight to students. Basic rules on safety on the field were taught along with the acquiring of the fundamental skills of the game. Hockey followed as the next girls sport. Miss Anne Twomey, girls physical education teacher, led the girls in the funda- mentals of the sport. As cold weather set in, volleyball classes were conducted in the gym. Badminton was also a favorite among the girls. Techniques and skills of basketball occupied the next few weeks of classes. When the girls became familiar with the game, con- tests were conducted between teams on a rotating schedule. Tumbling proved to be popular among the classes. The use of the side horse, parallel bars and spring board played a large role in the tumbling activity. The blossoming of spring started the tennis and softball season. Tennis was played on the blacktop surface adjacent to the gym. Softball fundamentals were learned during the last weeks of school on the girls' diamond on the far side of the track oval.
